Chapter 500: Yin Yang Immortal Master

Before Chan Yang even entered the Ancestral Realm, his fame, talent, and accomplishments already rivaled those of Emperor’s Throne and Tian Lunhui. Now, Chan Yang had actually reached Immortal Body Minor Achievement. How could this not make others wary?

If Chan Yang were to one day reach Immortal Body Great Success, then even if he didn’t become an Immortal Emperor, he would still become an existence capable of contending with one. How terrifying was that?

After hearing this news, all the Ghost Race members in the Ghost Sacred Realm realized that the Yin Yang Sect’s potential was limitless. The Yin Yang Immortal Master had an incredibly successful son who not only became the successor of the Ancestral Realm but would also achieve Immortal Body Great Success in the future.

This development elevated the status of the Yin Yang Immortal Master and the Yin Yang Sect in the Ghost Sacred Realm by an immeasurable degree.

“Immortal Body Minor Achievement!” In truth, when this news spread, a chill went down everyone’s spine. Whether among the Ghost Race or other races, this news was extremely explosive!

“Could it be… could it be that Chan Yang will surpass Tian Lunhui and Emperor’s Throne? Will he become the leader of the Three Heroes of the Netherworld?” Someone couldn’t help but mutter upon hearing the news.

Ever since Chan Yang went to the Ancestral Realm, he had begun to fade from the public eye. Meanwhile, Emperor’s Throne had battled across the world, sweeping through all directions with resounding prestige. For a time, the fame of Emperor’s Throne had even eclipsed that of Tian Lunhui and Chan Yang.

However, once the news of Chan Yang’s Immortal Body Minor Achievement spread, everyone realized that although Chan Yang had gone to the Ancestral Realm, he had not fallen behind Emperor’s Throne and the others. Perhaps after reaching Immortal Body Minor Achievement, he would even pull ahead of them!

“Just Immortal Body Minor Achievement. Let’s talk again when he reaches Immortal Body Great Success. It’s not as if my Ten Thousand Bones Throne hasn’t produced a Great Success Immortal Body before.” News of Chan Yang’s achievement also reached the Ancestor Mountain, located outside the First Evil Tomb. In response to this news, an ancient voice from deep within the mountain merely gave a scornful laugh.

Coming from anyone else, such words might sound incredibly arrogant, or even ignorant and conceited. However, a great character from the Ten Thousand Bones Throne was absolutely qualified to say such a thing.

The Ten Thousand Bones Throne hadn’t just produced an Immortal Emperor; they had also produced a Great Success Immortal Body in the past. The Ten Thousand Bones Throne was one of the few sects in the Ghost Sacred Realm that possessed a complete Immortal Body Technique.

As for Tian Lunhui, who was already outside the First Evil Tomb, when he learned that Chan Yang had reached Immortal Body Minor Achievement, he said nothing at all. He only smiled, his thoughts unfathomable.

Though it was just a smile, it was more than enough to show Tian Lunhui’s confidence. Without a doubt, even with Chan Yang possessing a Minor Achievement Immortal Body, Tian Lunhui remained sufficiently confident. One could only imagine how profound and unfathomable he truly was.

“The Elders of the Ancestral City will be gracing us with their presence. The opening of the First Evil Tomb this time will surely be different.” Along with the news about his son, the Yin Yang Immortal Master also brought another piece of extremely shocking news.

“What? The Elders of the Ancestral City are also entering the First Evil Tomb?” Upon hearing this, the countless cultivators and Great Teaching Territories gathered outside the First Evil Tomb were all stunned.

The Ancestral City was an ancient city built by the Ancestral Realm in the Ghost Sacred Realm. It served as a foothold for beings from the Ancestral Realm when they visited, and at the same time, the Ancestral City typically represented the Ancestral Realm itself.

The Ancestral City rarely involved itself in worldly affairs and never interfered with any of the Ghost Race’s matters. Even when the First Evil Tomb had opened in the past, people from the Ancestral City seldom came. But this time, they were actually coming to the First Evil Tomb. How could this not be a huge shock to everyone?

The Ancestral City’s sudden decision to come sent a chill through many hearts, and some even felt a sense of unease. With the Ancestral City suddenly coming to the First Evil Tomb, everyone felt that there was more to this than met the eye.

The Yin Yang Immortal Master led the Yin Yang Sect to make camp outside the First Evil Tomb. After setting up camp, the first place the Yin Yang Immortal Master visited was not the Ten Thousand Bones Throne or any other Ghost Race faction, but the Qianli River.

In response to the Yin Yang Immortal Master’s visit, the Qianli River welcomed him with an extremely grand ceremony. The Yin Yang Immortal Master, however, was quite pompous. He remained seated on his soft palanquin as he was carried into the Qianli River’s camp. When the Treasure Turtle Daoist came to greet him, the Yin Yang Immortal Master didn’t even get out of the palanquin, merely nodding at the Treasure Turtle Daoist as a greeting.

The Elders of the Qianli River were all quite displeased with the Yin Yang Immortal Master’s pompous attitude. However, the Treasure Turtle Daoist, as the sect leader, showed great tolerance. He simply smiled and nodded in return.

After being invited inside, the Yin Yang Immortal Master remained on his soft palanquin. He lifted his chin slightly, looked at the Treasure Turtle Daoist, and said, “Daoist Treasure Turtle, I want to see your Qianli River’s Defender of the Faith, Li Qiye!”

The Qianli River Elders present were all displeased by this attitude. If he weren’t a guest, they would have thrown the Yin Yang Immortal Master out long ago.

Although the Yin Yang Sect was an Emperor Immortal Gate, the Qianli River was one as well. Moreover, the Qianli River was absolutely confident that they were in no way weaker than the Yin Yang Sect—only stronger.

The Yin Yang Immortal Master might have a good son who had become the successor of the Ancestral Realm, but the Qianli River didn’t care about that. The Ancestral Realm only mattered to the Ghost Race. The Qianli River was a heritage of the Human and Demon Races; they wouldn’t give a damn about the Ancestral Realm!

Thus, the Yin Yang Immortal Master’s attitude left the Qianli River Elders deeply dissatisfied.

The Treasure Turtle Daoist, however, was good-tempered. He smiled, shook his head, and said, “I’m very sorry, Master of Yin Yang Sect. Our Defender of the Faith is currently in seclusion and is not seeing any outside guests.”

“He’ll see me whether he wants to or not!” the Yin Yang Immortal Master sneered. He was aggressive, even imperious. He continued with a cold laugh, “It’s not up to him!”

This attitude instantly enraged the Qianli River Elders present, especially Elder Yang, who had always been a staunch supporter of Li Qiye. He gave a scornful laugh and said, “Master of Yin Yang Sect, in terms of status, our Qianli River’s Defender of the Faith is a cut above any Sect Leader or Emperor. It’s not difficult to get an audience with our Defender. Have your sect’s Elder Ancestor come in person. Perhaps then our Defender of the Faith will personally grant him a meeting!”

“Are you, the Qianli River, trying to make an enemy of our Ghost Race?” The Yin Yang Immortal Master’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “I am here representing the Ancestral City!”

Elder Yang’s expression immediately turned cold. He was an Elder of the Qianli River and one of the few top experts of the current generation. He was not one to be easily intimidated.

Just as Elder Yang was about to speak, he was stopped by the Treasure Turtle Daoist.

“The Ancestral City? What dogshit is that?” At that moment, a leisurely voice spoke in an unhurried tone. “I don’t give a damn about it. So what if I make an enemy of every Ghost in the world? It’s no big deal. It’s not like I, Li Qiye, haven’t done it before. Whoever makes an enemy of me, I’ll slaughter them by the tens of millions. Even if your Ghost Race has hundreds of millions of cultivators, if you insist on being my enemy, I couldn’t care less. I’ll just slaughter your hundreds of millions. So what!”

At this time, Li Qiye sauntered in, accompanied by Lan Yunzhu. As soon as he entered, the Qianli River Elders stood up to greet him. The Treasure Turtle Daoist smiled upon seeing him and said, “Young Master, you’ve come out of seclusion.”

“Just came out to get some fresh air. I heard someone spouting shameless nonsense, so I came to have a look.” Li Qiye smiled and sat down, planting himself authoritatively right in front of the Yin Yang Immortal Master.

“Junior, don’t be so arrogant!” One of the disciples carrying the Yin Yang Immortal Master’s palanquin immediately shouted at Li Qiye.

“A mere sedan-bearer dares to shout in my presence? Slap him.” Li Qiye didn’t even bother to spare him a glance as he gave the order.

SLAP! SLAP! Two crisp smacks echoed. Lan Yunzhu, who was by Li Qiye’s side, flashed forward and instantly delivered two slaps to the palanquin-carrying disciple’s face. It happened so fast the Yin Yang Immortal Master couldn’t even try to stop it.

The Yin Yang Immortal Master’s expression instantly became extremely ugly. Even if it was just a disciple carrying his palanquin, that was still his man. For Lan Yunzhu to slap him right in his face was a complete show of disrespect.

“You know not the immensity of heaven and earth—” The Yin Yang Immortal Master’s face turned cold as he said in a severe tone.

“No matter how high the heavens, they are not as high as me. No matter how thick the earth, I, your grandpa, will shatter it with a single stomp.” Li Qiye cut him off without the slightest courtesy, speaking with calm composure. “The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands? I, your father, come and go as I please. If you don’t have any real business, then get the fuck out. Don’t act wild on my turf. If you have something to say, spit it out!”

These words, both vulgar and domineering, left the Qianli River Elders dumbfounded. ‘This is just too arrogant, isn’t it?’ They thought. It was also unbelievably crude. At least, people of their status could never bring themselves to say such vulgar things.

The Yin Yang Immortal Master was trembling with rage. He couldn’t help but point a furious finger at Li Qiye and stammer, “Junior, you—”

“Sect Leader, see our guest out.” Li Qiye couldn’t be bothered to look at him again. He stood up and said to the Treasure Turtle Daoist, “My time is precious. Don’t let someone full of bullshit waste it.”

The Treasure Turtle Daoist didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Li Qiye’s domineering behavior completely violated the etiquette of a Great Teaching Territory. However, seeing the Yin Yang Immortal Master driven to madness by rage, many of the Qianli River Elders present felt a sense of vindication. They had been extremely displeased with the Yin Yang Immortal Master’s attitude, but their status had prevented them from lashing out. Now, Li Qiye’s words were cathartic, and they all felt like they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Stay right there—” Seeing that Li Qiye was actually leaving, the Yin Yang Immortal Master grew anxious. His Blood Qi surged, and rings of light expanded around him, looking as if he were about to strike.

“What’s this, Master of Yin Yang Sect? Thinking of making a move?” As the Yin Yang Immortal Master postured to attack, Elder Yang stood up and said with a scornful smile. “This old man would be happy to oblige. I just wonder if a rising star like you has what it takes to reach the Great Sage Realm!”

As an Elder of the Qianli River, Elder Yang’s strength was absolutely immense, perhaps even unfathomable. A powerhouse of his caliber was not someone a mere sect-leader-level existence could provoke, not even the leader of an Emperor Immortal Gate!

The Master of Yin Yang Sect immediately felt suffocated with frustration. This was the Qianli River’s territory, and a whole crowd of their elders were present. If a fight broke out, he would definitely be at a great disadvantage. But swallowing this insult was impossible.

“You all better listen up!” the Yin Yang Immortal Master said coldly. “The Ancestral Realm wants the key to the First Evil Tomb! If you, the Qianli River, don’t hand it over, you will be making an enemy of the Ancestral Realm!”
