Chapter 161 – The Realm of the Heaven Immortal
Without hesitation, Qinghan took out his arm armor, which was made out of scarlet red scales, and a ferocious head of a demon. Although the softness of this armor made one feel comfortable while feeling its surface, but the vividly sculptured demon head brought an eerily feature to its appearance. Once it was put on, it looked like as if a little demon was attached to the arm.
“This is nothing special in terms of appearance, except for the excellent material, nothing about it impresses me! “Elder Qingniu took it in his hand, and observed it by using all of his soul power. However, he didn’t feel anything extraordinary.
After a moment of silence, he abruptly threw the arm armor into the air, after which, he stretched his left arm out, slamming harshly against the item.
- Bang! -
The cyan gust of Battle Qi collided with the red armor; immediately, a gleam of red glaring light shot out from the armor and flashed for only a second, before it faded away. The next moment, when the armor became visible again, it flew in the opposite direction, until it hit the ground.
A shrewd light could be found in Elder Qingniu’s eyes. He soon threw out a palm of Battle Qi, and fetched the armor back. After a further careful observation, he laughed, “Yeah, Qinghan, you’re right. This is fabulous! Look, it is as intact as moments ago after my attack. Hmm, its defense ability is one of a kind. Hey, little Qinghan, put it on, now. I bet it can save your life in times of extreme danger.”
“Ok!” Cheerfully, Qinghan received the armor, undressed his overcoat, and put on this armor on his right arm. Since Elder Qingniu was a Saint-Realm cultivator, the strength of his attacks were devastating; however, this armor could withstand his punch. This must be an item with a super defensive function!
“Oh, just now, you mentioned you’re still recalling the Prefecture War? Believe me, I’ll help you to capture that bastard Wuhen. You know, when we get back to the Mars Prefecture, the first thing we’re going to do is to summon all the elders of the prominent families, and negotiate with them concerning this issue. Ok, don’t think too much about this.” Elder Qingniu was kind of trying to console Qinghan.
“No, I’m not worried about this. You decide it!” With an absentminded nod, Qinghan suddenly raised his chin pondering. The question, that had haunted him for so long, resurfaced at this moment, so he asked curiously, “Elder Qingniu, would you mind if I ask you a question? But you have to tell me the truth. Are there Immortals in this world? I mean, can we all become immortals through arduous cultivation?”
This had been an intractable conundrum for Qinghan. The legend of Immortal City wasn’t unfamiliar to any child brought up in the Dragon Flaming Continent. It was said that the very leader of Immortal City, named Tu, was actually an immortal. Also, the five prominent families were said to be the offspring of immortals. Each and every descendant from these five families carried the essence of blood inherited by their immortal ancestor. The secret summoning space, the secret techniques, all served themselves as solid evidence of the power of the immortals. Geographically, the hints of the presence of Immortals were also ubiquitous, like the teleportation posts placed all over the continent, the mysterious Ghost Island, and the myth of Immortal City…
Everything that had happened prompted Qinghan to be suspicious over whether there existed any overpowering immortals in this world, or not. If the answer was positive, then how do they look like? What are the limits of their power? Could they separate heaven from earth? Or could they cut off the flow of water, fly in the sky and dive into the deepest part of the earth?
“Immortals?”
Elder Qingniu arched his eyebrows, and turned his face towards the excited Qinghan. He knew, when he was at Qinghan’s age, he was as curious as this young man towards any legend about immortals. It was understandable, at such a young, aspiring age, one would be bathed in endless fantasy and illusions. After taking some serious meditation, Elder Qingniu replied, “Honestly, I never planned to tell you anything about immortals before you entered into the Realm of the Emperor, in case your attitude towards cultivation would be negatively influenced. But, since you mentioned it, I’ve changed my mind and decided to satisfy all your curiosities. In this world, we do have immortals; and there is more than one, as far as I know, there are three!”
