Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: Shocking the Entire City

"Big brother, it really is a great treasure, aren’t you tempted?"

The boy instantly became anxious, his eyes widening to their fullest on his mud-caked face, so clear and pitiful that one couldn’t bear to refuse him.

Qiang Liang impatiently said, "Scram!"

He had no gentleness to spare for a bratty child, and the boy seemed terrified, his body tensing up with tears filling his eyes, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Fuxi’s heart softened, and he kindly said, "Little guy, we’re busy, why don’t you find someone else?"

Unfortunately, his appearance wasn’t exactly saintly; looking more like a demon monarch in his black robe and disheveled hair.

"Waaaah—"

The disheveled boy couldn’t help but start wailing, even sitting on the ground rolling around as if he had been beaten.

Qin Jun’s face twitched, certain that he had just been scammed.

Such a ridiculous thing could actually happen in the realm of immortals?

Surrounding beings all cast their glances over, their expressions quite peculiar.

The fiery-tempered Zhao Gongming said in a stern voice, "You little brat, don’t try any tricks! Otherwise, I’ll tear you apart!"

The threat made the disheveled boy shiver, crying even more heart-wrenchingly.

Patriarch Bodhi couldn’t stand it any longer either. It was a poorly performed act, and he could see right through it.

"Your Majesty, let’s go, don’t bother with him."

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and sighed. This kind of scene would only happen in the realm of immortals; in the mortal world, such behavior would surely lead to being dragged into an alley and beaten to death.

Qin Jun nodded and then led the four onwards towards the city gates.

Who would have thought the disheveled boy would suddenly leap up, run to Qin Jun, and clutching the hem of his clothes, cried out, "Big brother, you can’t go!"

Qin Jun was speechless, really wanting to slap him across the face.

Whose child was this, not understanding anything?

"You little pest!"

Qiang Liang immediately lost his temper, grabbing the disheveled boy by the neck and lifting him high into the air.

"Stop it!"

Just then, a woman’s voice came through. A girl dressed in green appeared, followed by a dozen or so young men and women, seemingly from the same sect.

The green-clad girl was indeed pretty, with a delicate face, snow-white skin, and black hair pinned back with a butterfly-shaped hairpin.

She looked furiously at them and exclaimed, "Let go of him! What are you trying to do? Kill someone right in front of the City of Immortals gate?"

The group of young cultivators behind her joined in the protest, one voice after another, as if they intended to drown Qin Jun and the others with their spit.

Qiang Liang glared at them, the terrifying murderous intent making them shiver and they quickly drew their swords and retreated.

The green-clad girl too turned pale with fright, but she still stood there trembling, maintaining an angry stare at Qiang Liang.

Qin Jun found the situation amusing and waved his hand with a smile, "Forget it, just throw him far away."

He could sense a faint force of magic within the disheveled boy, clearly indicating the boy was not simple. He might’ve used some technique to conceal his aura, appearing weak and frail.

Qiang Liang nodded, tossing the boy away casually. His strength was terrifying, throwing the disheveled boy like a kite with a broken string. In the blink of an eye, the boy was sent flying hundreds of meters. This scene scared the green-clad girl and her companions so much that they quickly flew after the disheveled boy.

"This little guy is not simple," Patriarch Bodhi said with a smile, his eyes narrow.

The moment the disheveled boy was lifted by the neck, he actually felt a wisp of holy breath.

Holy breath!

Only those who have condensed holy bones possess even the slightest trace of holy breath and should one achieve sainthood, every move radiates with the majesty of a saint.

Could this boy be an entering-the-realm-of-the-sage powerhouse?

Impossible!

Patriarch Bodhi quickly dismissed the thought; he could tell that the boy wasn’t using any transformation techniques.

How could a boy possibly reach the sage realm?

Fuxi and Zhao Gongming also wore thoughtful expressions, having sensed that wisp of holy breath in the disheveled boy.

"Let’s go, into the city."

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, as long as the sloppy boy wasn’t killed from being thrown, he wouldn’t be afraid.

When strange things happen, there must be demons at play.

With so many people around, why did the sloppy boy pick him?

Zhao Gongming, Qiang Liang, and Fuxi didn’t look like good people either. How could a normal child approach them?

The four of them nodded, and although they were curious, they didn’t pursue it further.

If the sloppy boy truly was a powerhouse at the stage of entering the realm of the sage, he could have taken action when he grabbed Qin Jun’s clothes earlier, but he didn’t. This indicated that he had no intention of killing Qin Jun.

If he were really an enemy, they would not be afraid.

Just entering the realm of the sage.

Among them, Qiang Liang was considered half a powerhouse at the stage of entering the realm of the sage.

And so, Qin Jun and others entered into the immortal city.

In the distance, the girl in green and her companions showed puzzled expressions because they couldn’t find the sloppy boy.

"What’s going on? Didn’t that kid fall this way just now?"

"Could someone have rescued him?"

"It’s possible."

"Those people are utterly despicable, to actually bully a child!"

The young cultivators began angrily condemning the misdeeds of Qin Jun and others, and the girl in green also turned to look at the immortal city, where she could no longer see Qin Jun and his companions.

"How infuriating, I must have my master find them!" she muttered between clenched teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with indignation.

Murdering a child in front of everyone is unforgivable!

This is the Ancient Immortal Realm, the land of immortals and gods. How can such vile acts be tolerated here?

...

After entering the city, Qin Jun asked Patriarch Bodhi, "Can you sense the aura of Canghua Immortal Venerable?"

Patriarch Bodhi furrowed his brow slightly and said, "There is the presence of those entering the realm of the sage within the city, but no presence of a Manifesting Saint."

By inferring from the sealing array of the Xuandang Great World, one could deduce that Canghua Immortal Venerable was a powerhouse at the Manifesting Saint stage. Thus, in the immortal city, sensing the aura of a Manifesting Saint would lead them to Canghua Immortal Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s brows knit tightly as he asked, "How can that be? What about over there?"

As he spoke, he pointed towards the front. The buildings within the immortal city all stood tall, but they seemed insignificant compared to the central peak.

The diameter of that peak was no less than a thousand feet, with steep cliffs rising straight up, piercing the clouds. At its summit sat a palace, majestic and grand, with thousands of steps in front of its gate, resembling a divine palace.

"There’s nothing there either," Patriarch Bodhi responded with a shake of his head.

Zhao Gongming and Fuxi also sent their Divine Consciousness to investigate but found no existence stronger than themselves.

However, their Divine Consciousness startled the strong beings within the immortal city.

In an inn on the other side of the immortal city, An Ruming stood by the window muttering to himself while looking over the city, "That Divine Consciousness just now... it actually gave me a sense of danger..."

Although he was at the mid-stage of entering the realm of the sage, he was only half a step away from the late stage.

The entities that could pose a threat to him, could they be at the completed stage of entering the realm of the sage?

Without the appearance of a Manifesting Saint, those at the completed stage of entering the realm of the sage were considered invincible powerhouses.

Among the three thousand prodigies, only a few reached that level.

Even though he had reached the mid-stage of entering the realm of the sage, breaking through to the completed stage was not just a matter of time; without opportunity or enlightenment, it might even be an eternal impossibility.

Not just him, but every being within the immortal city at the Daluo Realm was terrified by Zhao Gongming’s and Fuxi’s Divine Consciousness.

"That Divine Consciousness just now?"

"Such a terrifying Divine Consciousness... who dares to act so recklessly in the immortal city?"

"It indeed appears that the Ancient Immortal Realm is about to face a Great Tribulation."

"Could it be an entering saint powerhouse?"
