A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 671 Immortal King

“You just go about your business, leave these monsters to us,” said the Great Immortal with High Eyebrows.

Chao Bufan nodded and said "Mm," then his figure flashed and disappeared into the sky.

Chao Bufan concealed his aura, transforming into a speck of dust, and traversed the Boundless Great World at lightning speed. Along the way, he saw many different types of monsters, some of which were incredibly large. Even the colossal creature he had encountered in the Magic Forest—the Flood Dragon—was like an ant in front of these colossal creatures.

Endless mountain ranges stretched out one after another, some even larger than a planet. Finally, he emerged from the mountains, and before him lay a vast, boundless plain that stretched to the horizon, beyond his reach even with his cultivation level. Without pausing, he continued to fly forward as a speck of dust.

After flying for an unknown amount of time, suddenly a massive aura emanated from ahead, an aura possessed only by those at the Celestial King level, and it wasn't from a single location. Chao Bufan stopped, wondering to himself, "Could it be them?"

He quickly concealed his aura to the extreme and continued flying forward. In the distance, he could see many ancient figures diligently cultivating in their respective dojos. Although the dojos appeared to be very close to each other, keeping to themselves, the actual distance between them was immense, spanning tens of millions of light-years. All the dojos were arranged in an orderly manner, as if separated by a dividing line, suggesting a division into left and right factions.

He thought he wouldn't be easily discovered, but unfortunately, he was still discovered. Just as he was about to approach the edge of one of the outermost dojos, an exceptionally powerful aura suddenly emanated from that dojo and attacked Chao Bufan.

Chao Bufan sneered, flicked his sleeve, and the aura instantly vanished into thin air.

"Huh?" A surprised exclamation came from the dojo, as if no one expected that this sudden intruder could so easily neutralize his attack. Then, a person flew out of the dojo and landed in front of Chao Bufan.

This person looked to be in his early fifties, dressed in flowing white robes, with an otherworldly and dignified appearance, and exuding a powerful aura that only a Celestial King could possess.

"Who goes there?" the man asked as soon as he appeared.

Chao Bufan sized up the man and could tell a thing or two from his Daoist temple. Since the man's Daoist temple was on the outer perimeter and farthest from the Gate of Immortality, then he must be the lowest in status and strength among these Immortal Kings. So he smiled faintly and said, "My name is Chao Bufan. And you are?"

The man said matter-of-factly, "My name is Fallen Immortal King. Judging from your appearance, you seem to have just become an Immortal King. If you are looking for a place to cultivate, then go somewhere else. This area is under my jurisdiction, and there is no place for you. Leave at the last minute."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "You misunderstand. I am not here to find a place to cultivate."

"Oh?" The Fallen Immortal King was clearly taken aback, then asked cautiously, "If you're not here to find the best place to cultivate, then what are you doing on my territory?"

Chao Bufan said, "It's like this, I just came here from the lower realm and I'm not familiar with this place at all, so I wanted to ask you for some advice."

The Fallen Immortal King saw that Chao Bufan had only recently become an Immortal King, so he naturally wouldn't take Chao Bufan seriously. He said, "Since you've come to ask me for advice, we'll have to see if you're sincere enough."

It's nothing more than unspoken rules, and Chao Bufan naturally understood, saying, "Please explain further."

The Fallen Immortal King said, "You're new here, so I won't make things difficult for you. Just give me a few divine items."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "I came suddenly and didn't bring anything good with me. This is all I have. I wonder if it will suit the taste of the Fallen Immortal King."

As he spoke, Chao Bufan took out a fist-sized fruit. The fruit was golden yellow and came from the tree on the Three Lives Stone inside his body.

"This is……"

The Fallen Immortal King was startled, for he sensed a vast and pure energy within the fruit—the very energy of immortality, a thousand times purer and more immense than the energy of immortality within his own Daoist temple. Even more astonishing was the sight of hundreds upon hundreds of laws meandering and flowing within it.

"This is a Celestial King Fruit, which I obtained by chance when I was in the lower realm. I still can't bear to eat it," Chao Bufan said.

"Immortal King Fruit? Tsk tsk, there is such a fruit in the world. When I was advancing to Immortal King, I didn't know how many Immortal King Pills I had taken, but they probably couldn't compare to this Immortal King Fruit."

A look of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Fallen Immortal King, and he accepted it without any hesitation. He knew in his heart that this kind of treasure was more valuable than anything else. If he ate this Immortal King Fruit, his cultivation would definitely increase rapidly, and he would be closer to the Gate of Immortality.

"Young brother, feel free to ask me anything. As long as I, the Fallen Immortal King, know the answer, I will tell you."

"Thank you!" Chao Bufan politely expressed his gratitude, and then said, "Brother, I noticed that your cultivation grounds seem to exhibit some kind of pattern. I would like to ask, why is that?"

Upon hearing this, the Fallen Immortal King laughed and said, "Young brother, you may not know this, but everyone who can enter this Realm of Immortality is an Immortal King. So far, including you, there are fifty-six Immortal Kings in the Realm of Immortality. These fifty-six Immortal Kings are divided into two different factions. Do you see that dividing line? On this side of the dividing line is a faction called the Right-Wing Faction, and on the other side is the Left-Wing Faction. Of course, Immortal Kings also have ranks. The stronger one is, the closer one is to the Gate of Immortality. As for me..." The Fallen Immortal King said somewhat embarrassedly, "My strength is the weakest, so I am the furthest from the Gate of Immortality."

Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Brother, who controls these two forces?"

The Fallen Immortal King said, "Our right-wing faction is led by the Primordial Spirit, so naturally we are guided by him. On the other hand, the left-wing faction is led by the Great Dao. Young brother, welcome to join our right-wing faction."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, but in his heart he thought, "It seems I've really messed things up. Now that I've entered the right-wing faction's territory, things will be easier." He said, "Thank you, brother. Brother, may I see the sect leader?"

"This..." The Fallen Immortal King hesitated for a moment and said, "Young brother, you may not know this, but it is not easy to meet the sect leader. Even I have only met the sect leader once, when I first entered the Immortal King realm. In the subsequent epochs, I have never seen the sect leader again."
