Chapter 378: The Seal of the Lingwei King
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Lan..."
Qiao Xing had just spoken a few words when he suddenly realized something was off.
He quickly corrected himself, "Lan Xiaobu? I heard that the Immortal Court King of Lingwei Immortal Domain is named Lan Xiaobu..."
Qiao Xing finally connected the dots, "Fellow Daoist Lan, could it be that you are the missing Immortal Court King of Lingwei Immortal Domain?"
The more Qiao Xing thought about it, the more it made sense.
If Lan Xiaobu wasn't the Immortal Court King of Lingwei Immortal Domain, why would he care so much about it? Moreover, the sudden appearance of a few people in the chaotic bone lands suggested they might have just arrived from the void.
Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily, "That's right, I am the missing Immortal Court King of Lingwei Immortal Domain."
Qiao Xing took a sharp breath, then clasped his fists and said, "Qiao Xing pays his respects to the Lingwei King. Please forgive any disrespect earlier. I had heard that the Immortal Court King of Lingwei Immortal Domain was a sixth-grade immortal array master. I should have realized it sooner."
Lan Xiaobu smiled, "I truly admire friends like you, Fellow Daoist Qiao, who are genuine and straightforward. I, Lan Xiaobu, have long decided to live and die with the Five Realms Immortal World. How about joining my Lingwei Immortal Court and contributing to the Five Realms Immortal World together?"
Qiao Xing immediately replied, "If anyone else had said this, I might not have believed it. But coming from you, Brother Lan, I believe it wholeheartedly. Back then, to resist the invasion of the Nightmare Demons in Lingwei Immortal Domain, the Lingwei King bravely entered the ice-transformed zone to drive them out. For an Immortal Court King to do such a thing, I, Qiao Xing, am deeply impressed. Therefore, today I am willing to accept your invitation and contribute to the Five Realms Immortal World."
In Qiao Xing's eyes, his strength was likely the strongest among the group.
He had heard that when Lan Xiaobu disappeared, his cultivation hadn't even reached the Great Yi Immortal level.
Now, after just a few years, even if Lan Xiaobu had hidden his cultivation, he probably wasn't stronger than Qiao Xing.
As for Shi Yan, it was clear she was a Great Yi Immortal.
Gong Yunqi and Yan Xuan's cultivation levels weren't obvious, but since they were traveling with Lan Xiaobu, they probably weren't too strong either.
He admired Lan Xiaobu's character, which was why he was willing to join Lingwei Immortal Domain and contribute to the Five Realms Immortal World.
In fact, he had witnessed how Lan Xiaobu and his group had used a sixth-grade trapping and killing immortal array to annihilate countless Nightmare Demons in a short time.
A medium-sized wave of Nightmare Demons had been completely wiped out by Lan Xiaobu and his team.
Lan Xiaobu was momentarily stunned.
Back then, he had entered the ice-transformed zone mainly because of matters related to the ancient path.
Now, it had been glorified to such an extent? However, Lan Xiaobu didn't deny it.
If driving out the Nightmare Demons required entering the ice-transformed zone, he wouldn't refuse either.
...
The Immortal Court of the Five Realms Immortal World was located at the very center of the Four Domains Immortal City.
When Qiao Xing brought Lan Xiaobu and the others here, the first thing they saw was rows of spirit-gathering immortal trees, followed by seventh-grade spirit-gathering immortal arrays, seventh-grade trapping and killing immortal arrays, and seventh-grade defensive immortal arrays.
It could be said that the defenses outside the Four Domains Immortal City paled in comparison to the Immortal Court's palace.
The entire city's immortal spiritual energy was drawn here, highlighting its importance.
Outside the palace was a massive square, with a pathway in the middle leading directly to a staircase that ascended to the palace entrance.
At the entrance, four golden characters floated in the air: "Five Realms Immortal Court."
Although the area outside the palace was vast, as soon as they approached the edge of the square, two golden-armored guards descended in front of them.
"This is the Immortal Court's sacred ground. Halt immediately," one of the golden-armored guards shouted.
Qiao Xing clasped his fists, "We are representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain, here from afar to discuss important matters concerning the Five Realms Immortal World."
Representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain? The two golden-armored guards were momentarily stunned.
One of them then said, "The representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain have already been executed and hung outside."
Lan Xiaobu and the others had already noticed three corpses hanging on the Immortal Court's demonstration wall outside.
They seemed to have been hung recently, as the blood on their bodies hadn't even dried yet.
It turned out these were the representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain.
"Why were they killed?" Lan Xiaobu asked calmly.
The golden-armored guard snorted, "This was the decision of our Immortal Court King. There must be a reason for their execution."
"In that case, are we not allowed to enter?" Lan Xiaobu continued to ask calmly.
If they were still blocked, he would simply kill his way in.
"Let them in," a sudden voice echoed in the air.
Upon hearing this, the two golden-armored guards immediately bowed and then said to Lan Xiaobu and the others, "Please follow me."
Gong Yunqi chuckled.
He knew Lan Xiaobu's temper well.
If no one had spoken up, Lan Xiaobu would have killed his way in without hesitation.
Under the guidance of the golden-armored guards, they passed through the square outside the palace and the staircase leading to the palace entrance.
At the palace doors, the two guards stopped and said in unison, "The representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain have arrived and are waiting outside."
"Enter," a calm voice called out.
The two golden-armored guards did not enter but instead bowed to Lan Xiaobu and the others, "Please proceed."
Lan Xiaobu and the five others entered through the doors, where another golden staircase led directly into the main hall.
Inside the hall, over a dozen people were seated, with three empty seats.
Clearly, these were the seats meant for the representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain who had been killed.
"Haha, our guests must be from Lingwei Immortal Domain. Please, take a seat," a yellow-robed elder laughed, gesturing politely.
Despite his courteous words, he remained seated.
Lan Xiaobu continued to walk at his own pace toward the empty seats.
There were fourteen people seated in total.
At the head sat a strikingly handsome man, flanked by a man and a woman, with two more women standing behind him.
The yellow-robed elder who had invited them to sit was seated at the leftmost upper position, with six people on the left side.
The right side had three empty seats, leaving only three people seated.
"Are you the representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain?" Seeing that Lan Xiaobu had ignored the yellow-robed elder's words, the handsome man at the head frowned slightly and asked again.
Lan Xiaobu replied indifferently, "That's correct. We are indeed representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain."
As he spoke, he sat down on one of the chairs and, with a wave of his hand, two more chairs appeared beside him.
"Haha, other Immortal Courts only have three seats, but Lingwei Immortal Domain has brought eight. Impressive," a man on the left side chuckled, his tone laced with sarcasm.
He was mocking Lan Xiaobu for bringing extra chairs, even though only five of them remained.
If things continued this way, even these five might end up like the ones hanging outside.
The handsome man at the head turned his gaze to Qiao Xing and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be Fellow Daoist Qiao Xing, right? Aren't you a cultivator from Tanmiao Immortal Domain? Why are you representing Lingwei Immortal Domain?"
Qiao Xing replied, "I share the same ideals as the friends from Lingwei Immortal Domain and have decided to live and die with the Five Realms Immortal World. Therefore, I can only represent Lingwei Immortal Domain."
"What do you mean by that, Qiao Xing?" someone immediately retorted, clearly displeased.
Lan Xiaobu said, "Ignore those insignificant people."
The man who had retorted suddenly stood up, glaring coldly at Lan Xiaobu, "What? Are the representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain this arrogant now?"
"Sit down," the man at the head commanded, his expression darkening.
The man who had stood up, though exuding killing intent, dared not disobey the Immortal Court King and reluctantly sat back down.
"You are the representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain. Do you have the official seal of the Immortal Court King?" the man at the head asked sternly after reprimanding the other, his gaze fixed on Lan Xiaobu.
He could tell that Lan Xiaobu was the leader among the five.
"This is the Immortal Court King's token of the Five Realms Immortal Court, a powerful Immortal Venerable. The yellow-robed elder is a representative from another Immortal Domain, said to be an Immortal Emperor," Qiao Xing quickly transmitted this information to Lan Xiaobu.
Before Lan Xiaobu could respond, the yellow-robed elder spoke again, his tone indifferent, "If you don't have the official seal of the Immortal Court King, there might be a few more corpses hanging outside soon."
Lan Xiaobu suddenly asked, "Who are you? Which Immortal Court of the Five Realms Immortal World do you represent?"
"I am an Immortal Emperor from another Immortal Domain, here to save the Five Realms Immortal World. Are you saying that an Immortal Emperor who has traveled far to help the Five Realms Immortal World cannot be here?" the yellow-robed elder snorted, a hint of killing intent in his voice.
"Haha, this is hilarious. A mere eighth-layer Immortal Venerable dares to impersonate an Immortal Emperor?" Gong Yunqi burst into laughter, his voice filled with disdain.
An eighth-layer Immortal Venerable? Even Xin Can looked at the yellow-robed elder with suspicion.
The yellow-robed elder suddenly stood up, his aura exploding as he unleashed his domain, instantly pressing down on Lan Xiaobu and the others.
For those who had never experienced an Immortal Emperor's domain, this display was indeed intimidating.
Even for those who had, such a sudden burst of domain power would startle them.
Just as Gong Yunqi was about to teach this guy a lesson, Xin Can spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let's hear if they are truly representatives from Lingwei Immortal Domain. If not, we can deal with them later."
The yellow-robed elder clearly gave Xin Can some face.
He coldly glanced at Gong Yunqi and then sat back down.
All eyes turned to Lan Xiaobu, but instead of producing any documents, he raised his hand and began writing a document in mid-air in the center of the hall.
"What is the meaning of this?" Xin Can's expression turned icy.
"Haha, they're writing a document, but unfortunately, it lacks the Immortal Court King's seal," the yellow-robed elder chuckled coldly, already viewing Lan Xiaobu and his group as dead men.
Lan Xiaobu finished writing the document and, with another wave of his hand, summoned a large seal.
He slammed it down onto the document, the seal landing with a resounding thud in the center of the hall.
"The Seal of the Lingwei Immortal Court King?" Everyone was stunned.
The massive seal lay in the center of the hall, its aura unmistakably that of the Lingwei Immortal Domain's Heavenly Domain Monument.
A Immortal King beside the yellow-robed elder suddenly reached out to grab the seal.
They had been missing the Lingwei Immortal Domain's Heavenly Domain Monument, and now it had appeared right before them.
"Pfft!" A spray of blood erupted as the Immortal King's hand was severed at the wrist, blood gushing out.
The seal rose again, and the words "Seal of the Lingwei King" appeared in the center of the hall.
The blood from the severed hand flowed over the characters, making them even more vivid and striking.
(That's all for today's update.
Goodnight, friends!)
