Chapter 1023 - 1046: Journey to New Capital City
Seeing Flame Immortal Monarch’s shocked expression, Chu Linfeng said, "Blazing Fire, why are you all dusty and disheveled? What on earth happened?"
Flame Immortal Monarch looked at Chu Linfeng gloomily and said, "I almost got killed by the Star Power on your body. I didn’t expect this Star Power to be so terrifyingly strong. How did you do it?"
"I’m not too sure either. For now I still can’t use this Star Power; it’s too powerful. And it’s only been a short time. Let’s talk about it after the auction is over." Chu Linfeng said.
Calculating the time, there were indeed only about twenty days left until the auction. From here to New Capital City would take roughly ten days. In such a short span, it was impossible for Chu Linfeng to make a breakthrough, so he might as well go to New Capital City early to join the fun. Maybe he could even run into the people he wanted to meet.
"Since that’s the case, let’s go. New Capital City is the second largest city in Emperor Wu Spirit Realm, and it’s extremely lively. Especially the wine at Drunken Immortal Building—just thinking about it makes one drool. Right now I can’t wait to have a few cups." Flame Immortal Monarch laughed.
"Blazing Fire, there must be a lot of people in New Capital City who know you, right? How strong is the City Lord? Also at the Immortal Monarch Realm?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Not that many people actually know me. I usually stay in Emperor Wu Spirit Realm and rarely come out unless something special happens. But quite a lot of people have at least heard of the name Flame Immortal Monarch. As for the City Lord of New Capital City, he’s a mid-stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse, not someone you or I can afford to provoke." Flame Immortal Monarch said.
Chu Linfeng then asked, "What about the City Lord of Pengzhou City? How strong is he? Don’t tell me he’s also at the Immortal Emperor Realm!"
"You really guessed it. Among the hundreds of cities in Emperor Wu Spirit Realm, there are five City Lords who are Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses. However, only the City Lord of New Capital City is mid-stage Immortal Emperor, the others are all at the early stage. Even so, no one dares to provoke them.
You should know that an early-stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse can casually slaughter dozens of late-stage Immortal Monarch Realm experts, and in the Immortal Realm they hold extremely high status. When the day comes that you break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, you’ll understand just how powerful that realm is.
If one wants to destroy a city, it only takes a light finger tap. Once you reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, you can comprehend the Power of the Celestial Dao. It’s a very mysterious power, or you could say it’s borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth. As for what exactly it is, I’m not too clear either.
We’ll talk again when I one day manage to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, though that day is probably extremely far off. I know my own aptitude is limited.
Chu Linfeng didn’t say anything. Someone who could reach the Late Stage Immortal Monarch Realm, and this is what he calls limited aptitude? This guy really knows how to play dumb. Chu Linfeng didn’t bother to expose him.
Immediately after, Flame Immortal Monarch gave a whistle, and the Immortal Vulture instantly flew to the two of them. Once they mounted its back, it flashed and vanished from the mountaintop, the wind howling past their ears as they sped forward like a meteor.
Chu Linfeng simply closed his eyes to rest. Seeing that Chu Linfeng wasn’t speaking, Flame Immortal Monarch also quieted down. At the moment, Chu Linfeng’s mind was still in great pain, though much better than before.
This time, going to New Capital City for the auction, he decided to bring Lin Ruoxi, Ice and Snow Fairy, and Mei Xiaoxiao into the auction with him. After all, since coming to the Immortal Realm, he still hadn’t really let the three women appear in the Immortal Realm.
Staying in the Reincarnation Bracelet for several hundred years was extremely boring. The problem was that right now he didn’t know how to bring them out. If three women suddenly appeared at once, it would give Flame Immortal Monarch a huge shock. At this time, he couldn’t expose the matter of the Reincarnation Bracelet.
This was a Heaven-Defying treasure. He didn’t know Flame Immortal Monarch all that well; if the latter developed any thoughts of killing him for his treasure, with his current strength he would have no way to escape, especially now that his Chaotic Immortal Power was under Seal.
Chu Linfeng said to the Immortal Infant, "Remove the Seal on my Chaotic Immortal Power now. Once we reach New Capital City, it’ll be very dangerous without strength."
After a long moment, the Immortal Infant finally said, "Let’s talk after half a month. This time you really screwed me over. Who would’ve thought the Star Power would be so strong? You suddenly went to absorb the Star corresponding to that Star Trace inside, and you almost destroyed me. Couldn’t you have absorbed it gradually, step by step?
Right now I’ve borne more than half of the pain. Otherwise, if you had to endure it alone, you’d need at least half a year before you woke up. Don’t be so impulsive next time."
Chu Linfeng was startled. He hadn’t expected the Star Power to be so terrifying. Without achieving resonance, it really had been dangerously reckless. Looked like he could only be a cripple for half a month.
After that, Chu Linfeng sent his Divine Sense into the Reincarnation Bracelet, but he didn’t dare let his body enter. Otherwise, disappearing from the Immortal Vulture’s back in an instant would definitely arouse Flame Immortal Monarch’s suspicion. Besides, once his true body entered the Reincarnation Bracelet, the bracelet itself couldn’t be taken inside. A bracelet suddenly appearing on the vulture’s back—who knew what kind of consequences that would cause.
Once inside, the Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying were still frantically absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi. Mei Xiaoxiao and Lin Ruoxi were also absorbing it. The two women were already at the Late Golden Immortal Realm and could break through to the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal at any time.
Ice and Snow Fairy, on the other hand, wasn’t cultivating. She was sitting quietly by a beautiful waterfall, lost in thought. She had already recovered to the strength of a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. When Chu Linfeng’s Divine Sense appeared, she sensed it immediately.
There was no one who could appear here with Divine Sense except Chu Linfeng. "Lin Feng, why aren’t you coming in with your real body?" Ice and Snow Fairy immediately spoke to the empty air.
"Ruo Lan, I ran into a special situation and can’t enter with my body. I just came to check on you all. There’s an auction in New Capital City now, so I wanted to ask if you’d like to go have a look." Chu Linfeng said.
"Of course I want to. Auctions in the Immortal Realm only appear once every hundred years. I also need to buy some things. The Immortal Spirit Qi here is too dense, and I’ve already raised my strength to Late Stage Nine Heavens Profound Immortal. I’m at a bottleneck now and need something to help me break through." Ice and Snow Fairy said.
"We’ll talk about it when we get to New Capital City. But after I bring you out, you and I have to pretend not to know each other and then gradually make contact. That way we won’t draw attention. I don’t want my secrets to be exposed." Chu Linfeng said.
"I understand. This Immortal Realm, familiar yet strange, is a place I haven’t returned to for tens of thousands of years. I really am looking forward to it a bit." Ice and Snow Fairy said.
"Ruo Lan, I’ve been gone so long—did you miss me?" Chu Linfeng suddenly blurted out.
Ice and Snow Fairy was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "No. I wouldn’t miss a philanderer like you."
"Really didn’t? Then why is your face red? Feeling guilty? Be honest! I’m the man countless girls dream of—you expect me to believe you don’t miss me? Who are you trying to fool?" Chu Linfeng laughed.
"Shameless. Who would miss a nuisance like you? You should hurry out. Letting your Divine Soul leave your body for too long isn’t a good thing." Ice and Snow Fairy said.
Chu Linfeng didn’t say anything more. From her tone, he could tell she had completely accepted him.
Ten days later, Chu Linfeng and Flame arrived above New Capital City. At this moment, Flame Immortal Monarch said, "We’ve finally reached New Capital City. Let’s go down. Flying is forbidden in the skies over New Capital City."
