Chapter 1496: Ascension to Demon Immortal Realm
Jiu Ying chose not to kill.
Hearing this, Wu Yu was a little frustrated. He wanted to scream at him that he was a blockhead.
But that he was able to maintain his purity and not waver from his dao was a rare and valuable trait indeed.
Wu Yu knew that "dao" had no right or wrong. Jiu Ying was not wrong to pursue his dao. There were many daos and many ways in this world.
Jiu Ying walked a different path of dao. It might look foolish, but if he persevered, it might help him become an immortal. His future might also be endlessly bright.
That he could still think the same way after hundreds of years was special indeed.
"Alright. Since you say not to kill him, then I won’t kill him. But he won’t leave unscathed either. He will still be punished."
Liu Yuanxing had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the word punishment. He paled again. Before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, Wu Yu slapped him on the head. With an oof, Liu Yuanxing’s eyes rolled up inside his head as he slumped to the floor.
Wu Yu had not killed him, but it would be a few hundred years before he could regain his power as an immortal. He would just lie here.
"Big brother!" The younger Liu Yunxing still thought his elder brother dead, and sprawled himself on the floor, gibbering and blubbering. "Oh great immortals, please don’t kill me. I’ll do anything for you from now on, I’ll wait on you hand and foot. I’ll do whatever you want!"
Seeing the brothers’ fall from glory to desperation was a fresh contrast indeed. Wu Yu’s ability to paralyze all of them, and now his casual "killing" of Liu Yuanxing was far beyond what they had imagined. Now they had regained their mobility, and they used it to scamper away, afraid to be near Wu Yu.
"You Xue, you tell me. Do we kill this one or not?" Wu Yu looked at Liu Yunxing, who turned a pleading face to Princess You Xue.
"You Xue, spare me, I......" Liu Yunxing immediately begged, seeing that his life was now in Princess You Xue’s hands.
Princess You Xue fixed a cold look at him. "Pay the price for your mistake. If he did not come back, would you have spared us? Therefore, of course I cannot spare you."
She was not like Jiu Ying. That was normal. She was more similar to Wu Yu, believing in an eye for an eye.
Therefore, Liu Yunxing watched hopelessly as Wu Yu finished him off. And then he flung the Liu brothers far away, out of Jiuli Central City.
"What are you all looking at?" Wu Yu glared around him, dusting his hands. The already fleeing spectators soon made themselves scarce.
Turning back, Wu You, Su Yanli, Princess You Xue and Jiu Ying were all looking at him. Finally he had come back, and their spirits were all lifted. They were all very relieved to see how far Wu Yu had grown.
Of course, there was also the imperious queen Luo Pin. Although she stood by Wu Yu’s side quietly, but her luster could not be hidden. She was compelling, and Princess You Xue and the others could not help but notice her first, and then the sheer difference between them dawned on them.
Wu Yu saw that they were all safe and sound, and his spirits were lifted. He pulled Luo Pin forth. "Actually everyone already knows her, but let me reintroduce her again. She is Luo Pin, and mine. Hehe......"
Wu You and Su Yanli were sister and mentor-sister. They were happy for Wu Yu, while Princess You Xue’s happiness was tinged with a little regret. However, she had realized through these years that meeting him was already a blessing, and she could not wish for too much. They were not suited for each other. If not for Wu Yu, she would not even have the chance to reach immortalhood.
"This time I returned to give you good news. I can bring you all up into the sky palaces now. Within half a year, I will make you all immortals, and you won’t die. Haha!"
When one rose to immortalhood, all that were with them rose. This was Wu Yu’s dream. Now, he could easily accomplish this with his Imparting. Besides, he could also return to Jambu Realm and help those who had once helped him, giving them transformations and opportunities.
"Really?"
Wu Yu would not lie about something like this. Hearing this, they were wild with joy. Seeing them so happy filled Wu Yu with a sense of accomplishment as well.
Especially his sister Wu You. She was not a cultivator, but Wu Yu had personally groomed her to her current state. Her future still held promise.
Seeing her little brother getting more and more miraculous, Wu You felt that there was nothing he could not do.
She was still in denial. It was all too much to take in. Today had been the best dream of her life.
Luo Pin smiled at them. She too could feel Wu Yu’s happiness at being back among friends and family.
He was very happy that he could help them rise above the throes of mortal death. They could slowly enjoy the Yuans worth of life.
Of course, there was no rush this time round as well.
The Great Ancient Ink Realm brothers all wanted to come out, after learning that Wu Yu had returned to the Great Ancient Ink Realm. They all wanted to roam the Great Ancient Ink Realm, and so they had split up, agreeing to meet back two months later to return to the sky palaces.
Wu Yu wanted to return to the Jambu Realm for a look as well. He wanted to visit the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, and go with Luo Pin to the East Sea. They did not bother too many people, only giving some gifts. For example, the Imperial General of the Yan Huang Imperial City was given some legacies and immortal treasures that would help him reach immortalhood. Some also went to the Heavenly Sword Sect brethren.
Wu Yu had not even let them know about his Imparting. When they woke up the next day, they would suddenly find that their talents had grown drastically. These friends would definitely rise to immortalhood without trouble. The Imperial General, for example, would probably ascend soon enough.
The wonders of Imparting was not something that mortals would think about. They would only think that they had suddenly hit their stride. Many of the problems that they had been thinking about would clear.
Of course, Wu Yu had also chosen the most suitable immortal lord level legacies for the four by his side. This would allow them to reach immortalhood very quickly, and then they could proceed at the pace of the elite geniuses of the sky palaces. In 100,000 years, they would be elite Nine Xuan Dao Realm cultivators, or even Immortal Lord Realm cultivators.
Of course, before then, they would not be able to protect themselves in the sky palaces, and so they would probably stay in the Floating Dreams Pagoda to gain time.
Now that they were still mortals, they were too fragile to Wu Yu. He Imparted to them, and then put them in the Floating Dreams Pagoda. In two months, they had spent more than 10 years inside. Within the Floating Dreams Pagoda, they all passed the Great Trial of the Immortal Dao and rose to become immortals and demon immortals.
Jiu Ying’s situation was a bit special.
In a lesser realm of the mortal domain, one would immediately ascend as an immortal. In the greater realm, one could stay for 2000 years. Ghostly immortals were the same. But for demons, it was said that they had to ascend immediately, or forever miss the chance to go to the Demon Immortal Realm.
Therefore, after Jiu Ying ascended to demon immortal, the ascension portal appeared immediately.
Unlike the ghostly immortals or heavenly immortals, this Demon Immortal Realm portal had an ancient and sinister aura to it. Even Wu Yu wanted to go through for a look, but the sky palaces and hells had no link to the Demon Immortal Realm. It did not belong to the Heavenly Domain, and Wu Yu was not confident of returning if he went.
What he did not expect was that Jiu Ying actually wanted to go to Demon Immortal Realm.
"Why? Come with me to the sky palaces, I will protect you and your future will be guaranteed."
Jiu Ying shook his head. "I can’t say why either. I just want to go alone, to a place where I truly belong. I’ve thought about it. Neither the sky palaces nor hells is a place for me. I don’t want to become a freak. I also want to see how my life will change. That is meaningful......"
Wu Yu understood this was what he pursued. Of course, he would not hold him back. Therefore, he again gave him a legacy, this one was at the Chakravarti Ghostly King’s level. With an immortal king’s legacy, he would improve greatly from now on. Wu Yu also left him abundant riches and cultivation resources. How far he could take them would be up to his abilities.
"Brother, if I find the chance in this life, I will repay you with my life!" Jiu Ying said emotionally.
"Don’t be so weepy. It’s nothing at all to me. Good luck, brother." Wu Yu clapped him on the shoulder.
After Jiu Ying left, he would be left with the three girls, Wu You, Su Yanli, and Princess You Xue.
"Good luck to you too brother. I hope that we can meet again in this life." Jiu Ying said with deep feeling. And then he entered the ascension portal, not lingering, moving towards the Demon Immortal Realm where he belonged.
"I wonder what kind of place the Demon Immortal Realm is......" Wu Yu was still quite curious.
Now Wu You and the others had all risen to immortalhood, and the Ancient Ink Camp members had finished their tour of nostalgia. It was time to head back.
Wu Yu still remembered the Ancient Demon Realm. He wanted to get to the bottom of it. But now he had met them again, perhaps he should bring them to the sky palaces first. After all, who knew if the Ancient Demon Realm would end up being a risk.........
