Chapter 1084: Chapter 472: Saint Ancestor Becomes Immortal
Immortal Punishment Hall of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Elder Jiang Shou returned to the Immortal Punishment Hall and sat on the main seat of the grand hall.
He clapped his hands, and in the next instant, a figure appeared in the previously empty hall.
"Has that kid from the Immortal Selection Pavilion, the one just escorted down, been sent away?"
A True Immortal wearing a mask below said, "Reporting to Elder, he is still in the handover process with Qian Daoist Palace, but it will be done very soon."
Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang Shou grunted in acknowledgment, then said:
"Transmit my decree, contact the Guardian Immortal Army stationed outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, and have them send back their spatial coordinates."
"Yes!"
That attendant vanished on the spot, going to carry out the order and gather intelligence.
Among the many palaces and halls within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, apart from maintaining internal peace, there was also an external Guardian Immortal Army.
They were responsible for safeguarding the security of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, usually stationed outside it, slaughtering all kinds of evil beings from the Sea of Realms that trespassed into the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm’s domain.
Some were stationed nearby, within roughly a thousand immortal li, while others patrolled as far as ten thousand immortal li from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Of course, these were the permanently stationed immortal troops.
There were also some stronger Immortals who would lead their juniors or disciples into the deeper Sea of Realms to actively temper themselves and slay powerful Sea of Realms creatures.
Now that Elder Jiang Shou was convinced that relics of the Golden Immortal Race had emerged, he had no choice but to quickly send people to search the Lower Realm.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of taking people there himself, but first, there were too many affairs in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, and second, he was simply too far from where Ning Qi and the others were. Going back and forth would cost a lot of time.
Thus, Elder Jiang Shou thought of the Guardian Immortal Army that stayed outside year-round.
If someone happened to be near the stretch of Sea of Realms where Ning Qi and the others were, they could arrive as quickly as possible.
Just as he was waiting on this, a loud laugh sounded from outside and rolled into the Immortal Punishment Hall.
"Is Elder Jiang present?"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Shou frowned slightly.
He remained seated on the main seat, looking at a Heavenly Immortal flying into the Immortal Punishment Hall.
The newcomer was slightly plump, dressed in luxurious robes, with two upward-curling mustaches and an always-pleasant expression on his face.
"Dao Bu Jin, what are you doing in my Immortal Punishment Hall?"
Dao Bu Jin was the Dao title of that slightly plump Immortal. He stopped at the center of the main hall and said with a chuckle:
"Elder Jiang, since you expelled people of my Qian Daoist Palace from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, as the acting Palace Master I must come ask the reason, otherwise how am I supposed to convince everyone?"
Facing this man, Jiang Shou was not particularly cold.
This Dao Bu Jin was utterly unrestrained and counted as quite an interesting character in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Dao Bu Jin hadn’t originally been called by this name; once, in order to verify the Immortal Path of ancient times, he did something extremely outrageous.
He took the initiative to run down to the Lower Realm, claiming he was going to pick up and put down certain things, roll around in the mundane world for a while, and see through everything.
This man sealed away all his own power and started out as a mortal, stepping into the world and living through several mortal lifetimes before finally reclaiming his power.
After returning to the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, whenever someone asked him about that experience, he always said it was "infinite, indescribable."
From then on, everyone called him Dao Bu Jin (Infinite Dao), and he gladly accepted it.
"This matter concerns the security of the Immortal Realm. If Fellow Daoist Bu Jin does not trust my enforcement, then why bother asking more?"
Hearing this, Dao Bu Jin’s face showed a look of shock and doubt.
"The explosion at the Immortal Selection Pavilion is known to all Immortals in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. For such a major incident, how can Elder Jiang Shou not give the Immortals an explanation? Since you say it involves the security of the Immortal Realm, then I must all the more ask about it."
Jiang Shou sneered. "I fear that if you truly knew, your Immortal Heart would start yearning for the mortal world again. I understand the situation in your Qian Daoist Palace—now that you’ve finally become Vice Palace Master, there are plenty of eyes fixed on you."
"Yearning for the mortal world? What do you mean by that?"
The less Jiang Shou said outright, the more curious Dao Bu Jin became.
Ever since he rolled around in the mortal dust a few times, if he hadn’t been chosen by the Palace Master of Qian Daoist Palace as Vice Palace Master, he would already have gone back down to the Lower Realm to roll around some more.
Because of this, the Immortals of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm all joked that he was attached to the mortal world.
Dao Bu Jin did not understand why Jiang Shou would say that now.
He had come indeed to get a clear answer: that Li Donglin was also the descendant of an Immortal in the palace, and as Vice Palace Master he had to give an account, otherwise how could he shoulder the title of Vice Palace Master?
As for yearning for the mortal world—he was nicely sitting as Vice Palace Master; what mortals would he be yearning for now?
"Hmph, you really want to know?"
Jiang Shou suddenly changed his tone, his immortal eyes fixed steadily on Dao Bu Jin.
Dao Bu Jin’s Immortal Heart pounded violently.
Elder Jiang Shou had always enforced the law with strict fairness and impartiality, shouldering no small part of the responsibility for the internal stability of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Dao Bu Jin trusted him and also understood that if he spoke in such a way, it must involve something enormous.
However, Dao Bu Jin had never been one to stay within bounds; he was different from the other dutiful Immortals in the Immortal Realm.
Thus, Dao Bu Jin nodded heavily.
"There are only the two of us here. Elder Jiang Shou, there’s no need to treat me as an outsider."
Elder Jiang Shou’s eyes flickered as he made calculations in his mind.
Although he had already made arrangements on this matter, he could not guarantee that the Guardian Immortal Army would indeed be able to complete the task.
So, an extra bit of help was an extra bit of help.
After all, this was related to the Golden Immortal Race, which had once been the strongest in the Immortal Realm. If the Immortal Ancestor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm emerged from seclusion, he would definitely inquire closely.
Therefore, Elder Jiang Shou felt that if he could drag people from Qian Daoist Palace into the water, then even if something unexpected happened, there would be someone to help share the pressure.
So he said again, "This is something you yourself are voluntarily asking to know. When the Saint Ancestor comes out of seclusion, you will also have to bear this cause and effect."
"Is it really that serious?" Dao Bu Jin couldn’t help scratching his head in agitation.
He was afraid of trouble, but there were some troubles he especially liked to get involved with.
Elder Jiang Shou stopped wasting words and pointed out with a single finger.
