Vol 6 Chapter 66: Meeting Zhou Banxian Again
"Transmission permission granted."
Receiving the response from the Pangu Continent, Daoist Idle Cloud didn't know whether to feel happy or worried.
He turned back with a bitter expression, looking at Lin Jing who had followed him.
"Then send me over." Lin Jing chuckled lightly, not knowing who would be waiting for him on the other side.
.....
Pangu Continent.
Seventh Teleportation Hall.
This hall connected to ninety-six realms in total, with the cross-realm teleportation array from the Immortal Descent Realm leading to this hall.
At this moment, both inside and outside the hall, the cultivators responsible for guarding, maintaining, and operating the teleportation arrays wore extremely serious expressions.These cultivators, when viewed within their own cultivation worlds, were all geniuses who could comprehend the Spatial Dao even at the Nascent Soul stage or Core Formation stage. Only with such talent could they qualify for duties involving cross-realm teleportation arrays when they joined the Cultivation Alliance.
In the eyes of other cultivators, they were considered true winners in the immortal life lottery. However, in their own eyes, there were still figures so lofty they couldn't even look up to them, such as Zhou Banxian, deputy leader of the Cultivation Alliance, who was exactly such a person.
With a single word, he could determine their fates. Usually, such important figures were virtually impossible to meet, but today, for some unknown reason, Leader Zhou had personally descended upon the Seventh Teleportation Hall.
"Is some important person coming through transmission?"
"We must operate the teleportation array carefully, no mistakes allowed."
"Who could it possibly be...."
"...Wait, that's... the Hall Master?"
These cultivators discovered that today was extraordinarily unusual—even the Seventh Hall Master, who usually remained in deep slumber, had actually awakened.
The hall master of each teleportation hall was a Spell Elemental of one of the spatial spells of Wanling Daogu, the alliance leader of the Cultivation Alliance. This Seventh Hall was guarded by the Spell Elemental of her "Great Forbidden Technique."
It usually remained in slumber cultivation, rarely handling affairs.
"Leader Zhou, don't cause any trouble."
An illusory cage spirit floated in the air, watching Zhou Banxian.
"She actually woke you up too." When Zhou Banxian saw this Spell Elemental, he didn't take it seriously, considering that female disciple's action unnecessary.
"Don't worry, I'll have a proper *exchange* with him. But more likely, it's some lunatic from who knows where using his name. Hmph." Zhou Banxian thought it unlikely to actually be Lin Jing, since any normal person would use the advantage of the Longevity Body to keep hiding in the Origin Realm.
It had only been a thousand years—barely enough time for a single Premium Immortal Source to be born. Would he come out already? Quite improbable.
Therefore, Zhou Banxian believed it was more probable that someone was using Lin Jing's name. Although he didn't know the reason, if the other party couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation when the time came, then he couldn't be blamed for venting his anger toward Lin Jing onto someone else.
Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Banxian and the Forbidden Elemental, cultivator after cultivator proficient in the Spatial Dao began activating the massive teleportation array.
Activating the array took several hours, but everyone present could afford to wait.
After a long time, the array finally completed activation, resonating with the cross-realm teleportation array connected to the Immortal Descent Realm.
"There's a Seeking the Way Stage cultivator from the other side who entered the array," a cultivator reported.
"Transmit him over." Zhou Banxian spoke directly.
"Transmit!"
Commands were issued one after another. As large quantities of spiritual stones and spatial crystals were consumed, this teleportation array spanning countless stars immediately began operating. After an unknown period, a astonishing beam of light shot from above the hall, forming a luminous pillar.
Within the luminous pillar, the figure of a white-haired youth gradually materialized.
Seeing this white-haired youth's figure, Zhou Banxian revealed an incredulous gaze. The other cultivators were momentarily stunned before one cultivator recognized him first, then the rest realized—the newcomer was actually that great demon Lin Jing who had annihilated the allied forces of heavenly talents from the Cultivation Alliance's Fangjie faction back in the Origin Realm!
"This..." These cultivators never imagined that the person whom Deputy Leader Zhou Banxian had come to personally wait for was actually Lin Jing!
To be precise, it probably wasn't waiting, but rather...
"It really is you! How dare you come to the Pangu Continent?!" Zhou Banxian erupted with Immortal Power all over his body. His immensely powerful Immortal Power was more than one grade superior in quality compared to those heavenly talents who temporarily used Immortal Power by borrowing Origin Sources.
In terms of purity, it even faintly surpassed Premium Immortal Source energy.
"Zhou Banxian, I presume." Lin Jing, who had just been transmitted over, also recognized this old man and couldn't help but smile.
"No wonder the transmission went through so smoothly—it was you. Judging by your appearance, you don't seem to be here to welcome me, but rather... to kill me."
Boom!
Zhou Banxian snorted coldly, temporarily unwilling to know why Lin Jing had left the Origin Realm or what he had come to the Cultivation Alliance to do. Even if Lin Jing hadn't used a single Origin Source from the Origin Realm all these years and planned to offer them all to him now, before that, he still had to make this little bastard who had caused him so much trouble suffer a bit.
"Kneel for me."
He directly condensed Immortal Power into pressure, like an invisible immortal peak, pressing down heavily upon Lin Jing from above. The terrifying pressure, even though not directed at others, made the entire Seventh Teleportation Hall quickly tremble, filling the air with heart-palpitating fluctuations.
"Annoying." Facing Zhou Banxian's pressure, it wasn't even enough to make Lin Jing resist. He frowned, and in the next instant, a frog wearing a red scarf jumped out.
With a "ribbit," the Immortal Power derived from the Monarch-level Bloodline, Heavenly Emperor Bloodline, and Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit—even more pure and abundant than Zhou Banxian's—directly dispersed Zhou Banxian's pressure. It surged forth like a tidal wave, heavily smashing into Zhou Banxian's body. The moment their auras collided, Zhou Banxian's expression changed as he retreated several steps in succession, staring in shock at that frog.
"Is this the hospitality of the Cultivation Alliance?"
The battle with Demon Emperor Tianchou and the century of recovery afterward had not only improved Lin Jing considerably but also his Pet Beasts like the Heavenly Emperor Frog. Compared to during the fight with the Blood Prison Demon God, the current Heavenly Emperor Frog had progressed significantly. Through continuous refinement, it had successfully utilized its bloodline advantage to refine that superior-grade immortal silk into its life-bound magical treasure, preventing situations where it and its weapon could be separated by enemies. Simultaneously, its own power could receive massive amplification through the immortal artifact.
The battle with Demon Emperor Tianchou and the century of recovery afterward had not only improved Lin Jing considerably but also his Pet Beasts like the Heavenly Emperor Frog. Compared to during the fight with the Blood Prison Demon God, the current Heavenly Emperor Frog had progressed significantly. Through continuous tempering and adaptation, it had successfully utilized its bloodline advantage to refine that superior-grade immortal silk into its life-bound magical treasure, preventing situations where it and its weapon could be separated by enemies. Simultaneously, its own power could receive massive amplification through the immortal artifact.
Both he and his Pet Beasts having advanced to a higher level was one of the reasons Lin Jing dared to come to the Cultivation Alliance's headquarters.
"You—" Staring at Lin Jing and this bizarre frog, Zhou Banxian's pupils contracted sharply, unable to believe that the purity of his Immortal Power was actually inferior to a frog's!
As Zhou Banxian was forced back, the surrounding cultivators quickly changed expressions, and the Forbidden Elemental inwardly thought things were going badly.
And in the next moment, the Heavenly Emperor Frog chose to continue attacking.
Thwip.
Its tongue shot out. Though it appeared to be a tongue, having merged with the immortal silk, its tongue was now a superior-grade immortal artifact!
