Chapter 783: Chapter 760 Holy Immortals Hall (2/3)

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh as he looked towards Lu Dongyun, saying, "Big bro, what do you think?"

Big bro?

The Ning Family’s Old Ancestor and the other two naturally didn’t believe Lu Dongyun was truly Zhou Heng’s elder brother. Since he wasn’t, this address of ’big bro’ seemed extremely casual, indicating Zhou Heng’s status or strength was certainly not inferior to Lu Dongyun’s!

No way! No way!

They all looked at Lu Dongyun with anxious eyes. If he didn’t turn against them immediately, then it must be true!

Lu Dongyun’s heart twitched. What could he see? If he was capable of dealing with Zhou Heng, wouldn’t he have dealt with this brat long ago instead of waiting for you three old fools to blabber? He managed a forced smile and said, "Young brother, one should be forgiving when one can. What cultivation level are you at, always dealing with these minor characters!"

Clang!

The three ancestors from the Ning family felt as if struck by thunder out of a clear sky, their hearts turning icy cold. This was the very outcome they feared the most—Zhou Heng’s strength was formidable enough to be discussed alongside Lu Dongyun, this legendary figure from the Immortal Domain!

They had actually provoked such an entity; wasn’t that tantamount to seeking death?

The Qian and Zhang family ancestors naturally held deep resentment towards the Ning Family Old Ancestor for making them confront an immortal, a supremely powerful immortal at that. Could there be a worse betrayal?

Zhou Heng burst into hearty laughter and said, "It’s not that I want to stoop to their level, but they insist on provoking me. If I didn’t play along, wouldn’t that be disrespecting their courage?"

"Elder, we were blind, please spare us this time!"

"It was the old man surnamed Ning who instigated us to do this; we have no grudges against the elder!"

"Exactly, exactly, it’s this old dude who coveted the talents of the elder’s disciple, wanting to abduct her back! Moreover, I suspect he even wanted to use the soul-cleansing technique to erase the memories of the elder’s disciple, making her loyal to the Ning family for life!"

"Zhang Yuanhe, don’t slander people!"

"Hmm, really?"

In a bid to shift the blame and survive, these three old figures began to tear each other down.

Zhou Heng smiled at Lu Dongyun, saying, "Big bro, how can I just bear this?"

Lu Dongyun sighed and turned his head away. His entire life he had enjoyed two things—drinking and meddling in others’ affairs, which had almost become a disease, sadly without a cure since no one dared to treat him!

With a flick of his hand, Zhou Heng tossed the three Ning Family ancestors into a ten-thousand-foot abyss.

—If they survived that fall, and even managed to learn some peerless techniques from a high-level expert, then Zhou Heng could only accept it.

"Young brother, are you really going back to the Immortal Domain?" Lu Dongyun asked.

In his mind, Zhou Heng realized that people in this world seemed utterly unaware that they were living in a confined space, assuming their world was all there was.

Mortals might think so, but could it be that the Sublimation Emperor was equally clueless?

The use of "return" implied Lu Dongyun recognized him as someone from the Immortal Domain, without any suspicion that he was an outsider!

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and replied, "Indeed, I do have to visit the Immortal Domain, to see for myself!"

Lu Dongyun showed no reaction to his words, merely nodding and saying, "If Little Brother doesn’t mind, how about I accompany you?" He was genuinely fearful of Zhou Heng making a violent return to the Immortal Domain alone, thinking, who would dare provoke him with me at his side?

Zhou Heng pondered, not considering the offered proposal but rather that his previous words had revealed many flaws, nearly saying outright that he wasn’t from the Immortal Domain but had come from outside. Yet, Lu Dongyun hadn’t shown the slightest anomaly in response!

How could someone who had cultivated to the level of Sublimation Emperor be so slow to respond?

Zhou Heng grew more puzzled, yet he smiled and said, "Since big bro has shown such kindness, how could I possibly refuse?"

He sent the women back to the Immortal Residence, then stepped onto the Immortal-Ascension Bridge with Lu Dongyun.

Boom!

A surge of energy instantly blasted towards him, but the Immortal-Ascension Bridge was merely a deterrent for mortals; the force of this gust didn’t even attain the level of the Moonlight King, so how could it possibly affect him?

Zhou Heng was observing the surroundings, his right hand resting on the bridge, sensing the material beneath, yet he couldn’t detect anything unusual.

Meanwhile, Lu Dongyun inattentively conversed with Zhou Heng, attempting to unravel his secrets.

Despite Zhou Heng’s hints, Lu Dongyun never connected Zhou Heng with another world, appearing utterly convinced that this world was the only one, a deeply ingrained notion.

He was probing Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng minded not inquiring about some matters in turn, such as who the venerated Supreme Deity was.

Even Lu Dongyun didn’t know!

This seemed to be an eternal presence, one who had created this world, bestowed humankind with the ability to cultivate, thus escaping myriad diseases and significantly prolonging their lives.

After half a day, they crossed the Immortal-Ascension Bridge to the other side of the Great Trench.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but show a slight look of surprise, seeing before him a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, verdant mountains and flowing rivers, the sky dotted with floating peaks green with vegetation, some of which even had waterfalls cascading down, forming a beautiful Milky Way.

Crane dances commenced, soaring through the sky with clear cries, while a round red sun hung in the sky, showering down warm sunlight.

"Little Brother Zhou, where would you like to go now?" Lu Dongyun asked.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and replied, "I have no specific destination in mind, just wandering around!"

"In that case, Little Brother Zhou, why don’t you accompany this old man to the Holy Immortals Hall?" Lu Dongyun immediately suggested.

"The Holy Immortals Hall?" Zhou Heng asked, puzzled.

"The Holy Immortals Hall is where the old man resides, but it doesn’t belong to me. It’s a holy site within the Immortal Domain. The most qualified individuals of the Immortal Domain all enter the Holy Immortals Hall to deeply cultivate, as it houses the legacy left by a Supreme Deity!" Lu Dongyun said with a sense of pride.

What, a legacy of a Supreme Deity?

Zhou Heng’s heart stirred involuntarily. In the eyes of Lu Dongyun and others, the Supreme Deity was the sole true god here, but in Zhou Heng’s heart, he knew that the so-called Supreme Deity was likely a Big Shot from the Bright Realm.

Why would she leave a legacy, unless she had died?

Zhou Heng’s curiosity soared, and now, even if Lu Dongyun turned against him, he had to figure out a way to get to the Holy Immortals Hall, saying, "Alright, let’s go to the Holy Immortals Hall!"

Both advanced swiftly, using their movement techniques, and soon arrived at an ancient city that housed a Teleportation Array.

Lu Dongyun, possessing immense prestige, was revered by pedestrians along the way, making Zhou Heng secretly wonder if this master had a particularly strong vanity, which motivated his need to meddle everywhere.

Brilliant lights swirled as Zhou Heng and Lu Dongyun stepped out of the Teleportation Array and found themselves in an enormously vast city, where each brick radiated an ancient charm that seemed to transcend eons.

The more Zhou Heng pondered, the stranger it seemed. If this place had really existed for millions or even tens of millions of years, how could it remain so isolated from the outside world, unknown even to someone as ignorant as a frog in a well?

And to suggest that the Big Shot from the Bright Realm had arrived here so long ago... But wasn’t that master idle?

"Lord Lu!"

"Lord Lu!"

As soon as Lu Dongyun appeared, the people nearby began shouting, their faces filled with undisguised admiration.

This old guy is pretty famous!

Through mutual probing with Lu Dongyun, Zhou Heng gained a general understanding of the situation in the Immortal Domain—not that he was seeking any secrets, since reaching the level of the Sublimation Realm, one could easily obtain such knowledge.

The strongest in the Immortal Domain was nothing more than the Creation King!

After all, being isolated from the world, it was commendable that they managed to advance the Martial Path to the level of the Creation King by cultivating in seclusion. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy here was not very abundant. Advancing to the Creation Realm required not just comprehension, but Spiritual Energy became the real challenge.

Breaking through to the Creation Realm with just the Spiritual Energy available here was impossible; it absolutely required the aid of the Heaven-Earth Holy Medicine!

—Nowadays, all five Creation Kings in the Immortal Domain had achieved their breakthroughs by obtaining the Holy Medicine, otherwise, the limit for Martial Artists was just the Sublimation Sovereign!

Therefore, being a Sublimation Sovereign like Lu Dongyun naturally elevated his status, also providing him with the confidence to meddle in affairs, or else—even a Sublimation Sovereign would meet a swift end!

This was not the Holy Immortals Hall. Lu Dongyun led Zhou Heng out of the city and traveled further towards the center for over thirty thousand li, and finally arrived at this holy land of the Immortal Domain!

The Holy Immortals Hall is indeed the core of the Immortal Domain!

The grand hall was built at the base of a mountain so tall that its peak was not visible, occupying at least ten thousand acres. It was a majestic and spectacular sight, but unfortunately, its magnificence was diminished when compared to such a mighty mountain.

"Little Brother Zhou, although your battle power is strong, your Cultivation Level is ultimately only at the Sublimation Sovereign. Why not cultivate here for a while?" Lu Dongyun suggested to Zhou Heng. He could see Zhou Heng’s distinct features, but believed that with cultivation in the Holy Immortals Hall, the influence of the Supreme Deity would subtly take effect, eventually winning him over.

"Alright!" Zhou Heng nodded, indeed eager to learn about the legacy of the Supreme Deity.

Their agreement was struck swiftly. Lu Dongyun immediately made arrangements for Zhou Heng, allowing him to become a disciple of the Holy Immortals Hall. Normally, becoming a disciple of the Holy Immortals Hall required passing through rigorous audits and meeting strict requirements for students’ qualifications, but who would interfere when Lu Dongyun handled the matter himself?

In less than half a day, Zhou Heng officially became a disciple of the Holy Immortals Hall.

"When was the last time I was a disciple to someone?" Zhou Heng lay on his bed, hands cushioning his head, suddenly recalling the bits and pieces from the Mortal Realm, getting to know Lin Fuxiang, and his relationships with Zhu Zhihe and others.

After pondering, he released both the people and the beasts from his Immortal Residence.

"Where is this?" The Blue Dragon Empress and the others showed great interest in exploring, while the Red Dragon Empress lazily sat in a chair, resting her delicate hand on her head as she watched Zhou Heng with a somewhat mysterious gaze.

"The Holy Immortals Hall!" Zhou Heng casually remarked, then asked, "This is the Immortal Domain, do you feel any changes in your bodies?"

The Blue Dragon Empress, Mu Tongtong, and Hu Yin looked at each other and shook their heads, but the Red Dragon Empress answered, "Yes!"

"Yes? What changes?" Zhou Heng pressed.

"My breasts seem to have gotten a bit bigger!"
