Damn, riffraff?
Brother Cheng almost laughed out loud at that comment.
He's not blaming the Moon Race for being disrespectful; it's surprising they didn't send anyone important to greet him.
A Profound Immortal, acting all high and mighty in front of a bunch of Immortal Kings and Demon Kings?
Not expecting groveling or trembling, but he should recognize the gap, right?
Where does he get off calling people thousands of times stronger than himself riffraff?
Who's given him the courage?
Knowing his fiery temper, having taken down nine Immortal Kings before, Ye Yang Immortal King hastily picked up the conversation.
"They are our allies, planning to go inside together this time."
"This is Elder Jiang, and this is Xiao Kun Demon King..."
Before he finished, the Moon Race's Profound Immortal interrupted him.
"Enough, I don't care who they are."
"With 13 extra people, you need to offer more tribute, otherwise no entry."
Another fee?
Brother Cheng touched the hilt of his sword, it seems a bit of intimidation might be necessary.
Then, Ye Yang Immortal King interjected again.
"We've been prepared."
He handed over a Storage Ring, and the other Profound Immortal glanced at it, finally nodding.
Brother Cheng secretly used his High-level Advanced Insight to look at the ring.
Inside was actually 1.3 billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals and thirteen bottles of Seventh-grade Immortal Pills!
Holy crap, this is daylight robbery!
He shot a surprised look at Miao Yu, this woman is quite generous.
She quietly paid this for me?
Thinking about it, she really is thoughtful and considerate.
Even though he knew her intention was to avoid trouble, he couldn't ignore this gesture.
Since she's so worried about mishaps, he decided to give her some face.
The group was then led by the Profound Immortal into Moon Immortal Palace.
Along the way, they saw some other Moon Race Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals, but none above Immortal Venerable.
If not knowing Moon Race has two Immortal Kings, Sect Leader Jiang would think this is a non-distinguished small sect.
Through twisted and turn corridors shining bright and ornate, they eventually arrived at a common courtyard behind Moon Immortal Palace.
The Profound Immortal left without a word of explanation.
"Alright, stay inside."
"Ten days from now, when the opening occurs, the Moon Race will hold a selection assembly."
"Try not to wander and avoid unforeseen occurrences during this time."
Ye Yang Immortal King's gaze almost never left Brother Cheng as he spoke.
Clearly, he's been marked as the one to closely watch!
Even the two Demon Kings from the Ghost Alliance are more rule-abiding than him.
Later, the Immortal Kings from Celestial Pavilion found their places within the courtyard.
Brother Cheng looked quite dumbstruck.
Is this it?
Clearly, Moon God Palace is massive with grand, luxurious halls, yet they deliberately place us in this low and rundown courtyard?
Seriously, they are dignified Immortal Kings!
Though Immortals have little need for food and accommodation, this placement surely counts as humiliating, right?
"When others come, they stay here too."
"It's not a deliberate targeting against us."
Miao Yu left those words and went into her room on her own.
Brother Cheng could only sigh once again.
Girlie, I'm holding it in painfully, just for you!
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Kun, Jiyun, Mingchi and the other twelve followed him.
"Sect Leader Jiang, what's your plan?"
"If you decide to level the Moon Race, we're right behind you!"
This group is different.
Thinking back to when they just arrived in the Immortal Realm, everyone thought to bear with it initially, and what happened?
Sect Leader Jiang got temperamental, and everyone ended up enjoying the good life immediately.
Ascension Platform with fifty times the Power of Rules, gaining the glory of being first in the Ascension Battle upon entering the Middle Immortal Realm—that's truly satisfying!
Following him, there's no need to follow the regular path, right?
"Whatever you say, we'll do, even if it means opposing the entire Middle Immortal Realm!"
Brother Cheng consoled them with a wave: "Let's observe a few days first, I don't even know the situation at the entrance yet."
"But this Moon Race is really arrogant."
As soon as he mentioned this, Immortal King Wu Jue started complaining: "Who says otherwise?"
"The last time opened, I wanted access to the Enlightenment Immortal Tree from here, but ended up shut out because I didn't bring enough tribute."
"It's infuriating thinking back!"
"Made me waste fifty million years!"
Jingyu Immortal King sternly snorted: "You were lucky, I managed to pay my tribute and get in, but was eliminated at the selection assembly."
"That was truly suffocating; back then, I wanted to wipe them out!"
"Really?"
Brother Cheng found himself struggling to keep up with Moon Race's pace.
"Pay but can't board?"
"There were a lot of people, altogether 271 slots from Moon Race, but 400 Immortal Kings showed up, many were cut."
"Do they refund?"
"Refund my ass, just our misfortune!"
"That's just too shady, aren't they afraid of causing brawls?"
Brother Cheng remarked this seems even more arrogant than himself.
Though he's eliminated many, when it comes to principles, he adheres, like reciprocating after accepting others' benefits.
Xiao Kun smiled wryly and spread his hands: "There's no choice, they have the edge, opening cannot happen without them, everyone needs them."
Zhan Yan also nodded: "Indeed, fifty million years ago there were dissatisfaction."
"Ended with others rallying without needing Moon Race to act themselves."
Brother Cheng figured it out.
This Moon Race appears to be a protected species now.
Due to the Immortal Tree entrance, no one can touch them, instead, they're pampered.
"What's that selection assembly about?"
"It happens when too many people attend on the opening day, requiring some eliminations."
"How are candidates determined, are there any standards?"
"None, fully dependent on Moon Race's mood."
"Damn!"
Brother Cheng couldn't help but curse.
No wonder Miao Yu and Ye Yang Immortal King were cautious not to offend Moon Race along the way, wielding life and death authority!
With time passing, more and more Immortal Kings entered Moon Immortal Palace.
By the last day, even neighboring areas filled up.
Every arriving Immortal King made everyone's hearts sink.
Each one is a competitor, indirectly reducing one's chance to enter!
Every arriving Immortal King and Demon King remained very restrained, not only avoiding conflict but also barely visiting.
No help for it, everyone feared affecting Moon Race's mood.
Leading to final rejection.
One day, on the dark edge of the Celestial Domain, a lush towering giant tree quietly emerged.
Though far from the Middle Immortal Realm, it's still too vast to see an end.
Branches and leaves layered endlessly, as if it's truly a colossal world.
Even before touching it, its immense and dreamy aura easily stirred hearts and souls!
Just one glimpse and Brother Cheng sensed his unformed Immortal Country begin stirring, becoming active.
At this moment, he truly understood the tree's significance.
"This Enlightenment Immortal Tree must be entered!"
