Chapter 489: Another Troublemaker Arrives

Luo Caisi said, "Can't you see? If there's only one person, even if the being inside has a ninety percent chance of success, it still won't attempt possession. This shows how extremely cautious it is."
"But if it won't dare possess one person, why would it dare possess two? That doesn't make sense..."
Gu Dao was slow to react and couldn't immediately grasp the reasoning.
Luo Caisi sighed.
"Do you think two people would enter through the same door?"
"Unless they arrive at different times, if they come together, they probably wouldn't. Both would want to be the first inside."
This time, Gu Dao answered quickly.
Luo Caisi nodded.
"Exactly. Since both would want to enter first, they would definitely go through separate doors. Even if there's a slight delay, it would be negligible. That way, neither would be teleported out. Once inside, they would immediately notice that small cauldron."
"A cauldron that gathers divine spiritual energy—just think how precious that is. No matter how close two people are, they would still covet such a treasure. If they don't fight over it, the being in the meditation cushion would surely provoke them into conflict."
"That might not be true. I wouldn't fight with you, Mistress," Gu Dao quickly interjected.
Luo Caisi replied, "You wouldn’t fight me because you call me Mistress. Even so, you still wanted that cushion. Doesn’t that prove my point? If two people fought over the cauldron, one would surely die, and the survivor would likely be severely injured. Possessing a wounded body is far safer than possessing an uninjured one. That’s why the being in the cushion is so cautious."
"It’s inside the cushion?" Gu Dao asked doubtfully.
Luo Caisi affirmed, "It must be inside the cushion, no doubt. When I saw it, my mind was almost overwhelmed. Luckily, I’m not too greedy, and I had a Clear Heart Pill on me."
"Ah, what a pity. We should’ve taken that cauldron and left," Gu Dao lamented.
Now that they knew the being in the cushion wanted to possess someone, they could’ve just grabbed the cauldron and fled without touching the cushion.
Luo Caisi shook her head.
"We absolutely couldn’t take that cauldron. It’s the lifeline of the being inside the cushion. If we had tried, it would’ve turned hostile immediately. I suspect that if that happened, we wouldn’t have been able to leave that place."
She was certain she wasn’t mistaken.
If the being had sealed off that small space, neither she nor Gu Dao would’ve escaped.

Lan Xiaobu controlled the Reincarnation Pot, stopping it in the void.
Zha Yu sighed in admiration, "This flying treasure must be the fastest in the Immortal Realm. Once your cultivation advances, even in the Divine Realm, few flying artifacts could match this pot."
He didn’t dare ask Lan Xiaobu about the Life and Death Cauldron’s whereabouts.
Lan Xiaobu acted as if he hadn’t heard Zha Yu’s words.
His eyes gleamed with killing intent.
Zha Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
Worried he had said something to upset Lan Xiaobu, he quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Lan, is this the Silent God Valley you mentioned?"
Lan Xiaobu nodded.
"Yes, this is Silent God Valley. There’s divine spiritual energy inside."
"Ah..."
Zha Yu grew excited.
While immortal spiritual energy was of little use to him, divine spiritual energy was crucial for his recovery.
"Divine spiritual energy? Should we go in?" Zha Yu asked eagerly, unable to contain his urgency now that it concerned his cultivation.
Lan Xiaobu replied indifferently, "Not yet. I need to go somewhere else first."
Luo Caisi had activated two divine ability orbs in succession, intensifying Lan Xiaobu’s murderous aura.
If it weren’t for an Immortal Emperor-level threat, Luo Caisi wouldn’t have used the orbs he gave her.
Her doing so meant his reputation in the Kunxu Sea still couldn’t guarantee her safety.
Now, he had to go to the Great Kun Sea Realm.
Outside Silent God Valley, Lan Xiaobu set up a teleportation array leading to the Void Swamp Mud River.
From there, he could teleport to Kunxu Immortal Market and then reach the Great Kun Sea Realm in just a few days, even without using another teleportation array.
As Lan Xiaobu headed for the Great Kun Sea Realm, a red-eyed man stood outside its entrance.
"Friend, this place truly cannot be opened. The entrance to the Great Kun Sea Realm is tied to our Great Kun Immortal Palace’s protective formation. Forcing it open would expose our palace and collapse the formation," a Great Kun Immortal Palace Immortal King guarding the entrance explained politely.
Had it not been for Lan Xiaobu’s earlier appearance, the guard wouldn’t have been so courteous.
Normally, anyone demanding the entrance be opened outside the designated time would’ve been attacked immediately.
But after Lan Xiaobu’s display of power, the Great Kun Immortal Palace’s leaders had learned the value of humility—lest they end up like the Liang family of Ancient Kun Island.
The Immortal King wasn’t lying.
The palace’s formation was integrated with the Great Kun Sea Realm’s natural barriers, surpassing even ninth-grade immortal formations.
Not only was opening it impossible, but attempting to do so would destroy the formation entirely.
Unlike when Lan Xiaobu had merely removed some shielding restrictions—leaving the formation intact—forcing the entrance open now would leave the Great Kun Immortal Palace completely defenseless.
The red-eyed man glared coldly at the Immortal King, his voice even icier than his gaze.
"You have ten breaths to open this realm’s entrance. Otherwise, I’ll kill you and do it myself."
As he spoke, an overwhelming pressure descended.
The Immortal King paled instantly—this was a formidable Immortal Emperor.
While discreetly sending a distress message, the Immortal King stammered, "Senior, the Great Kun Sea Realm forbids entry to those above the Immortal King realm. Forcing your way in would still collapse our formation..."
Had Luo Caisi been present, she would’ve understood why higher-level cultivators were barred: the being in the Divine Source Hall wouldn’t allow threats stronger than an Immortal King inside.
"Six, five, four..."
The red-eyed man ignored the Immortal King’s words, continuing his countdown.
Sweat beaded on the Immortal King’s forehead as death loomed.
"Three, two, one..."
Upon reaching "one," the red-eyed man suddenly struck with a palm seal.
The Immortal King didn’t even have time to scream before being reduced to bloody mist.
"You dare kill someone from our Great Kun Immortal Palace?!" A furious roar echoed as a streak of light shot toward the red-eyed man.
The red-eyed man snorted disdainfully.
Without even summoning a weapon, he threw a punch.
Boom! Crack!
The light shattered, and the attacker was sent flying, blood spraying from a dozen wounds.
By the time he hit the ground, he was already dead—his vitality and primordial spirit obliterated by that single punch.
At that moment, Great Kun Immortal Palace’s First Palace Master Yuan Bu, Third Palace Master Zhang Wuxue, and Fourth Palace Master Yin Xiaowen arrived with several elders and other Immortal Emperors from allied sects.
Everyone gasped at the gruesome scene.
The victim was someone they all recognized—Elder He Ang, an early-stage Immortal Emperor and the palace’s foreign affairs elder.
An early-stage Immortal Emperor had been killed in one move.
Just how strong was this red-eyed man?
What was happening in the Kunxu Sea? First, Lan Xiaobu had caused chaos, and now this unknown red-eyed powerhouse had appeared.
"Friend, our Great Kun Immortal Palace has no grievance with you. Why kill one of our elders?" Yuan Bu suppressed his anger, sensing the opponent’s overwhelming strength.
This was different from Lan Xiaobu’s case.
Lan Xiaobu had been in the right, whereas this time, the red-eyed man seemed to be the aggressor.
After the Lan Xiaobu incident, Yuan Bu had repeatedly warned all palace members to avoid provoking conflicts.
The red-eyed man glanced at Yuan Bu and said flatly, "I need to enter the Great Kun Sea Realm now."
Yuan Bu’s expression darkened.
Was this a direct challenge to the entire Great Kun Immortal Palace? Forcing entry during the off-season, especially as someone who could slay Immortal Emperors with ease?
Swallowing his fury, Yuan Bu said, "The Great Kun Sea Realm can only be entered during its opening period. Forcing entry would tear apart our protective formation. Moreover, those above the Immortal King realm cannot enter."
The red-eyed man laughed coldly.
"Since when does Du Zhuo need permission from your Great Kun Immortal Palace to enter a realm? You overestimate yourselves."
Without another glance at Yuan Bu or the others, Du Zhuo stepped toward the realm’s entrance and summoned a trident spear.
"Attack!" Yuan Bu could no longer restrain his rage.
The Great Kun Immortal Palace was the Kunxu Sea’s top power—how could they tolerate such humiliation?
As Yuan Bu gave the order, he and four late-stage Immortal Emperor elders, along with Third Palace Master Zhang Wuxue and Fourth Palace Master Yin Xiaowen, attacked simultaneously.
Four peak Immortal Emperors and three Half-Step Divine Realm experts struck together, their combined force so overwhelming it seemed to suffocate the very space around them.
"Pathetic Immortal Emperors daring to challenge Du Zhuo?" Du Zhuo sneered, redirecting his trident spear from the entrance toward Yuan Bu and his group.
(That’s all for today’s update.
Goodnight, friends!)
