The Taotie returned to being a one-eyed old man and waved Mo Wentian. “Hello there, Little Brother.”
“And who are you, old man?” Mo Wentian asked with a painful look.
The old man laughed. “Who, me? Why I’m a great Immortal Emperor of the Fiendish Immortal Domain.”
“Immortal Emperor?” Mo Wentian had no notion of that kind of power level. “What are you doing in my mindscape if you’re from the Immortal Domains?”
This question was what really bothered Mo Wentian.
The one-eyed old man shook his head. “I’m as lost as you are. One moment I was killed in the Fiendish Immortal Domain and the next, my soul woke up in your mindscape.
“But kid, your constitution is utter garbage. Sucking up your spiritual power for a dozen years now still couldn’t wake me up. If not for taking all the Immortal Energy now, Heaven only knows if I’d ever wake up.”
The old man chatted with disdain.
One thing was certain: be it the one-eyed old man or the black soul, they both woke up after absorbing the Immortal Energy.
Mo Wentian’s mouth twitched as he listened to the one-eyed old man, his face darkening and grimacing as a certain thought came to mind.
“Little Brother, have you ascended to the Upper Realm to be absorbing Immortal Energy? But with your talent, you’d never ascend in your lifetime.”
“Shit, shit, shit! I knew there was something fishy about cultivating so many years and never reaching even the 2nd layer of Qi Refining Stage! You’re the one behind it all, you parasitic geezer. I’m gonna kill you!”
Mo Wentian’s eyes were bloodshot, charging like a beast at the old man.
The one-eyed elder chuckled and sidestepped. “Little Brother, take it easy. You should be happy. Take me as your Master and you’ll have all the supreme immortal arts you’d want.”
“I’m happy with snapping your neck.”
“Little Brother, you shouldn’t swear.”
“Screw you! Take this, Thousand Year Decimation!”
Only for the old man to breeze by his attack. “Little Brother, I’m too old to take your attack.”
“Damn leech, you got some bloody nerve, hiding in my head and sucking up my spiritual power for a dozen years. That’s why I’ve been feeling empty all this time. Do you have any idea what I had to put through all this time? And now you want me to kneel? Ptui, screw you, bastard, asshole!” Mo Wentian was close to going mad from rage.

After sending Touba Ye, the old woman puppet, and Qin Huoshui to Cloud Province’s death zone, Chen Changan returned to Soaring Immortal Mountain.
He was supremely confident in Touba Ye finishing his mission this time around. The two extra Dao Protectors, with even a Domain Lord among them, were sure to turn it into a milk run.
Chen Changan also made doubly sure there would be no issues by placing a Life and Death Talisman on each of them.
Hong Yi, She Zini, and his Master were as good as saved.
Chen Changan lay down in his accustomed chair, gazing at the Trial Tower eighteen floors high and always mulling over just what kind of wringers should he put on each floor for the challengers.
Foxy cutely nibbled on an immortal fruit’s pit at his side, advancing to Golden Core at some point as she accompanied him.
Bai Yue was furiously cultivating as well.
Eternity Temple had the thickest density of Immortal Energy the entire Immortal Land had ever seen, providing the fastest results. Moreover, Chen Changan used Immortal Solution to pass on Tai Chi to Bai Yue out of boredom.
Bai Yue was overwhelmed by the true essence of yin and yang on display through Tai Chi.
The fist art blended yin and yang, using softness against strength, a true supreme immortal art. Bai Yue treated it like a treasure, practicing per Chen Changan’s guidance every day.
Each session of Tai Chi training left her feeling relaxed and peaceful, while also spurring her cultivation at an incredible speed.
After a long toil, Chen Changan settled the trials for each floor of the tower. “All that’s left is to wait for the contest to begin.”
The Nine Province Cauldron hovered atop the Trial Tower, dazzling in its light show as well as the incredible Dao power it released.
The past two days had seen many cultivators attempting to steal it from the Trial Tower, but none prevailed. One could say it was harder to steal it than even ascending to immortality.
Now that his job was done, Chen Changan went back to playing the deadbeat role.
With nothing to do, he eavesdropped on the conversations of cultivators within the Absolute Domain and peeked at the various fights breaking out.
Infighting between cultivators was the norm in this world. Or rather taunting, stealing, and feuds to getting one’s own cave in the Absolute Domain. Such was life.
Chen Changan didn’t forget about Qin Huoshui’s condition to watch over her brother, but the mere glance at the guy’s cave left him full of envy.
Nineteen flawless beauties lay intoxicatingly on an immortal-sized bed.
[Qin Xiuwen, do you have the stones to handle them?]
Despite being in the throws of dual cultivation, in the land of bliss, Qin Xiuwen had nothing to fear with Chen Changan watching over him.
The view reminded Chen Changan of that night back in Dragonised City’s Misty Pavilion, and his deadbeat heart stirred.
“Glorious Heaven City seems to be close to Myriad Mountains. Since the contest is a few days away, why don’t I entertain myself with some music for the night?” Chen Changan smiled.
For a man in his prime, listening to music was only natural. He used Mirage, and an avatar appeared. He took some spirit stones, and off he went.
The avatar used Special Effects, as well, to change his looks and enjoy a night of music without worry. This time around, he made an avatar at the Golden Core Stage and should have no trouble reaching Glorious Heaven City before nightfall.
It was a shame he was alone. If only there was another hero who would join him in sharing the lovely hobby of listening to music.
[Alas, lonely is the top for an absolute being such as I.]
The avatar looked plain and common, like any other cultivator.
He climbed down from Eternity Temple, venturing through Myriad Mountains and towards his target, Glorious Heaven City.
