Chapter 1355: Paragon Immortal King

An Lins expression changed slightly upon hearing Yang Zhengs words.

Based on Yang Zhengs description, an immortal king had suddenly emerged from nowhere and united the one thousand countries. Moreover, he had managed to bring the entire world under his control

The Immortal King that you speak of sounds extremely powerful indeed. May I ask, exactly how powerful is he? An Lin was especially curious.

Ive no clue about his exact powers. Yang Zheng spoke softly as he looked toward the sky. However, the Immortal King swept through the Thousand Kingdoms and trampled over the Nine Emperors. Out of the thousands of exalted immortals in this continent, none were able to survive through three of his strikes In this Divine Source Continent, he is the most powerful paragon!

Since that time, this world has only had one empirethe Divine Source Empire. The Immortal Palace that he constructed lies in the center of this Divine Source Empire. Moreover, his empire is the sole top-rate sect of this world. Everyone needs to kneel and kowtow upon seeing members or representatives of the Immortal King Palace. Even exalted immortals of the Return to Void Stage arent exempt from this rule.

An Lin frowned. Hes that domineering?

The entire world is under the Immortal Kings rule now, Yang Zheng shook his head and sighed. All the resources of this world are controlled and distributed by his Immortal King Palace as well. Those who resist would be sentenced to death. Its that simple.

How did this Immortal King become so powerful? An Lin questioned. Was he also renowned in the past?

The Immortal King was once a ruler of the Kunlun EmpireFeng Wuya! There was a look of respect on Yang Zhengs face as he said this.

A look of realization appeared on An Lins face. So its him!

Thats right, its him! He had always been thirsty for battle, and he had always desired to conquer the other kingdoms. Ten thousand years ago, a meteorite crashed into the territory of the Kunlun Empire. Afterward, the world underwent a period of huge change. The spiritual flow of heaven and earth grew exponentially, and the concentration of vital energy also increased significantly.

Moreover, it became much easier to break through ones cultivation base. After one thousand years, Feng Wuya surpassed the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage and reached a supreme stage that no one had ever reached before!

A look of yearning flashed across Yang Zhengs face. He named that rank the Immortal King Stage! Since then, theres only been one supreme ruler in this worldthe Immortal King, Feng Wuya!

An Lins expression changed once again.

Isnt the rank after the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage the Dao Integration Stage? As expected, a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Stage has appeared in this world. This mission is going to be much trickier than I anticipated

Perhaps this was all caused by that meteorite. An Lin took a sip of tea before continuing, How much do you know about that meteorite?

Yang Zheng shook his head. I know almost nothing about it. All I know is that the meteorite has been placed in some secret room in the Immortal King Palace. In addition, the Immortal King uses it to cultivate.

During these past few thousand years, there have been quite a few people who have shown interest in that meteorite. In fact, there were a dozen powerful exalted immortals who had appeared from out of nowhere and tried to break into the Immortal King Palace. However, all of them were killed by the Immortal King. Their corpses were hung before the Immortal King Palace to serve as a warning to other powerful beings.

An Lins expression became grave.

Those powerful exalted immortals were most likely the Return to Void Stage cultivators sent over by Nuwa and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue. However, all of them failed.

As they chatted.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The distant yet loud sound of a bell suddenly traveled over.

Yang Zheng hurriedly stood up. This bell signifies that an envoy of the Immortal King Palace has come he said nervously. Thats right! Today is the day that we need to offer immortal items to the Immortal King Palace!

He bowed to An Lin apologetically as he said, Exalted Immortal An Lin, please excuse me. I must take my leave now. I need to prepare some cultivation resources to offer up.

An Lin nodded slightly and didnt say anything.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to meet a member of the Immortal King Palace.

Within the welcoming hall of the City Lords Manor.

A golden-robed male sat on the throne arrogantly.

City Lord Yang Zheng and his daughter Yang Lingqian immediately kneeled and kowtowed upon seeing the envoy.

Lowly Servant Yang Zheng.

Yang Lingqian.

Greetings, Immortal Kings envoy.

The male casually thrust his vital energy toward the two people before him. Then, he said indifferently, You may stand.

Thank you for your blessings, Immortal King Envoy!

There was a look of gratitude on Yang Zhengs face as he stood up.

An Lin had activated an invisibility spell and was spectating from the side. The scene before him astonished him.

The Immortal Kings envoy is merely at the Spirit Nurturing Stage, whereas City Lord Yang Zheng is at the Soul Formation Stage. However, hes still relegating himself to such a lowly status. It seems like the power of this Immortal King Palace is quite overwhelming.

Yang Lingqian also stood up. The male envoys eyes lit up when he saw Yang Lingqians enchanting appearance as well as her red, off-the-shoulder dress.

Yang Lingqian lowered her head slightly upon noticing his gaze. She had a bad feeling that something was about to happen. She had dressed more revealingly to meet An Lin, yet she had forgotten to change back into her more conservative daoist robe before coming over.

Yang Zheng immediately offered a storage ring to the envoy. These are the resources offered up by Yong Yang City this year. Please have a look.

The Immortal Kings envoy refined the storage ring and looked over the treasures inside it. He nodded his head in satisfaction. City Lord Yang Zheng, your offerings are exceptional. Its worthy of praise.

Yang Zheng saluted nervously. Its the honor of every being on the Divine Source Continent to serve the Immortal King!

Its good that you understand this. Serving the Immortal King is indeed the honor of every being on the Divine Source Continent There was a wide grin on the envoys face.

Then, he turned his gaze toward Yang Lingqian. City Lord, I see that your daughter is beautiful and charming. The Immortal King is currently taking in stunning beauties from all over the continent. He wants to recruit three thousand concubines, and your daughter fulfills all the necessary requirements. This is a chance to reach the sky in a single step. Let her follow me to the Immortal King Palace.

Both the father and daughters expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

Immortal Kings envoy, my daughter is still young, Yang Zheng said hurriedly. Moreover, she isnt prepared for this at all

Youre kidding me, right? Hes recruiting three thousand concubines How is she going to reach the sky in one step? If my daughter is given the cold shoulder, then how is she going to be happy?

Ive reached a vital stage in cultivation, and Im just about to cultivate in seclusion. I really cant leave right now. Im afraid that Im going to have to pass on this rare opportunity. Immortal Kings envoy, I hope that you understand Yang Lingqian bowed slightly. She hoped to use cultivation as an excuse to escape this request.

The males expression turned cold. The Immortal King is recruiting concubines, yet you dare to reject him? This is a sign of great disrespect toward the Immortal King! You dared to openly refute the Immortal Kings will Do you want me to report this? How many more days will your City Lords Manor survive if the Immortal King hears of this?

The colors drained from Yang Zhengs face as he listened to the males shouts of reprimand. Yang Lingqians slender body trembled in fear.

They both knew that the envoy wasnt making empty threats. These kinds of things frequently occurred throughout the Divine Source Continent. If anyone dared to challenge the Immortal Kings will, their entire family or sect would be executed. This was nothing new or surprising.

I-I agree to go! Yang Lingqian bit her lower lip as she finally reached a decision.

Qianer you Yang Zhengs hands trembled as he tried to speak. However, he had no idea what to say.

Father, Im leaving. You have to take care of yourself. Perhaps Ill still be able to return in the future. Yang Lingqian forced a smile onto her face. However, she couldnt prevent the tears from sliding down her cheeks.

Haha! Calm down. The male chuckled and said, Heading over to the Immortal King Palace to become a concubine is your great fortune. Whats with this emotional farewell? Its almost as if youre never going to see each other again. Come, follow me.

After saying this, he walked out of the large hall.

A gigantic griffon lay outside the hall. On its back was a small house.

The male led Yang Lingqian into the house. Then, the griffon screeched and started flapping its wings. Gusts of violent winds swept outward as the griffon soared into the sky.

With a mere few words, the Immortal Kings envoy forcibly dragged the city lords daughter away from her home.

An Lin looked up toward the direction of the griffon. After contemplating for a while, his figure vanished from outside the hall.
