Chapter 463: The Sun and Moon Illuminate Mountains and Rivers (Twenty-Two)

On the cliff face
Ling Jiuxiao finally met Su Chen.
“You brat, what brings you here to offer your help? What do you want to know from this sect master?”
Ling Jiuxiao said, “Sect Master, you are indeed incredibly resourceful. I have indeed come to ask you for a favor.”
Su Chen smiled and said, “You little rascal, you want to know the whereabouts of the Life Elixir and the Nirvana Stone, don’t you?”
Ling Jiuxiao was somewhat taken aback.
He said awkwardly, “As expected, nothing can be hidden from Sect Master. I have indeed come here for the whereabouts of these two items.”
“I believe Sect Master must know.”
Su Chen nodded: “I do know the whereabouts of these two items.”
Ling Jiuxiao’s expression brightened.
Su Chen continued, "Their whereabouts are related to the Immortal Martial Tournament."
Ling Jiuxiao was puzzled: "The Immortal Martial Tournament? What's that?"
At this moment, the elder spoke up: "The Immortal Martial Tournament, I always thought it was just a legend, but now, fellow Daoist, it seems it's all true."
"Don't keep me in suspense, elder, just tell me quickly what the Immortal Martial Tournament is all about," Ling Jiuxiao asked curiously.
The elder glared at Ling Jiuxiao, then said, "The Immortal Martial Tournament is related to those immortal sect inheritances. It's said that those immortal sect inheritances will select the most outstanding geniuses from within their sects, and then send them, along with geniuses from many other worlds, to a place called the Immortal Martial Realm to fight."
"Until finally, the most dazzling geniuses will be recruited as disciples by the major powers of the Immortal Realm."
"But... to enter the Immortal Martial Realm, one must possess the legendary Immortal Martial Token."
Su Chen said, "The Immortal Martial Token, that's easy."
Su Chen opened his palm, and a small token appeared in his hand, exuding a magnificent aura, with the words 'Immortal Martial' engraved on it.
The elder looked at the token with curiosity.
The legendary Immortal Martial Token was right before his eyes.
However, considering the young man's apparent connection to the Immortal Realm, the elder understood. It wasn't so difficult to understand how someone from the Immortal Realm could obtain an Immortal Martial Token.
Su Chen tossed the Immortal Martial Token to Ling Jiuxiao.
Ling Jiuxiao caught the token, then hesitated, asking, "How long do I need to stay in the Immortal Martial Realm after it opens?"
Ling Jiuxiao disdained the resources of the Immortal Martial Realm; he'd rather stay in the sect and grow stronger.
What if he left for centuries and returned to the sect only to find all the disciples and elders had become Emperors, while he remained stagnant?
Fortunately...
Su Chen said calmly, "Five years at the shortest, ten years at the longest."
"However... there might be unexpected gains in the Immortal Martial Realm. For you, young man, it should be considered a great opportunity."
Ling Jiuxiao's eyes lit up.
He knew his sect leader was definitely a powerful figure and wouldn't lie to him.
The opportunity the powerful figure spoke of was absolutely an opportunity!
Ling Jiuxiao made his decision.
He went!
Because Ling Jiuxiao was a man who valued his promises.
Ling Jiuxiao put away the 'Immortal Martial Token' and then bid farewell to Su Chen.
As Ling Jiuxiao reached the foot of the mountain, Long Jueshen, who was standing beside him, looked up.
"Boy, would you like me to give you a ride?"
Ling Jiuxiao said awkwardly, "I have legs, so I won't trouble you, Master Long."
Long Jueshen grinned, "No trouble at all."
"Since you call me Master Long, I'll reluctantly give you a ride."
Ling Jiuxiao: "?"
Long Jueshen wagged his tail.
"Go!"
Long Jueshen patted his dragon claws, watching Ling Jiuxiao disappear. He was quite satisfied with his handiwork.
Now both sides were even.
On the cliff, Su Chen watched this scene with a faint smile.
"It's rather interesting."
Looking in the direction Ling Jiuxiao disappeared, Su Chen casually flicked his wrist, and a divine stone appeared in his hand, resembling a phoenix egg undergoing rebirth.
If the elders were still here, they would definitely recognize it.
What Su Chen held in his hand was none other than the Nirvana Divine Stone, one of the top divine treasures in the world that he had been desperately pursuing.
Now this supreme treasure had been casually conjured up.
That wasn't all. Su Chen then raised his other hand.
A layer of dark clouds appeared above the Mountain and River Sect.
The rain fell softly, and astonishingly, it was green. No matter the severity of the injury, contact with this rain would completely heal it.
Life Elixir.
Su Chen casually caught a handful of Life Elixir. As he traced a line in the air with his fingertip, a rift opened, leading to... the Immortal Martial Realm.
Su Chen casually tossed the Nirvana Stone and Life Elixir down.
This was why Su Chen was so certain the Immortal Martial Realm possessed the Nirvana Stone and Life Elixir.
If not, he'd create them himself; now he had them.
Su Chen then casually took out a page from a book, tore it off, and threw it into the rift.
Simple, isn't this a great opportunity?
Afterwards, Su Chen casually pinched the rift closed again, as if nothing had happened.
As for the Immortal Martial Token... that was naturally created casually as well.
The item itself was obviously fake, but since it came from his hand, it was real.
Below the cliff, Long Jueshen's heart tightened inwardly.
"Creating something out of thin air... Has that lord's strength recovered to this level?"
"It won't be long before the Immortal Realm faces a storm. No one can stop that lord, unless..."
Similarly, a lush, green tree stood nearby.
Wang Shu was shocked.
"Such a rich life force! Even my current life force can't match it. What kind of method is this?"
"I absorb... I absorb... I keep absorbing..."
The Divine Liquid of Life was also a tremendous opportunity for Wang Shu.
........
Ling Jiuxiao was naturally unaware of the changes in the sect.
If he knew, he would surely be heartbroken.
He was currently on a star outside a bustling city.
Curious gazes lingered around him.
This made Ling Jiuxiao curse inwardly, "I should have just stewed that dragon like a mudfish! What a petty person!"
"This is definitely settling a personal score!"
Elder: "..."
"Boy, this is the territory of Renwang City."
"It seems we've arrived at our destination!"
Ling Jiuxiao was taken aback, somewhat doubtful.
"Could what that dragon said be true?"
It delivered him to his destination so quickly; this dragon is quite kind!
"Renwang City is one of the routes to the Immortal Martial Realm. Disciples of various immortal sects gather here. Only those with an Immortal Martial Token can enter the Immortal Martial Realm."
"This place will gather the most talented individuals in this world over the past million years. They are not only geniuses, but also absolute powerhouses."
"I'll be disappearing for a while. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Ling Jiuxiao: "?"
No matter how he called out, the elder seemed to have vanished completely.
Until...
Ling Jiuxiao felt an unparalleled aura enveloping the universe, overwhelming all heavens, a supreme power!
