Chapter 2603: Threat
Chapter 2603: Threat
Eight days after the Nine Firmament Meet, at the peak of the Builder Tree.
The morning light shone slowly on the Builder Tree and enveloped the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings.
The names of the 20 paragons on the ranking shone brightly, representing supreme glory that countless cultivators looked forward to.
From this day forth, only the top hundred cultivators of the Perfected
Immortal and Arhat Rankings respectively were qualified to cultivate beneath the Builder Tree.
Most cultivators could only stay on the peak of the Builder Tree.
The 20 paragons on the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings had already recovered after a night of rest. They were invigorated and stood up one after another.
Rank 2 of the Perfected Immortal Ranking, Qin Ce, walked straight towards the side of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
Initially, Yun Zhu was about to head to the Builder Tree. When she saw Qin Ce walking over, she could not help but frown slightly. She glanced at Su Zimo who was not far away and stopped in her tracks.
Sensing something, Jun Yu stopped as well.
Qin Ce passed through the crowd and stood in front of Su Zimo, looking down
at the latter who was sitting on the ground.
“Su Zimo.”
Qin Ce called out.
Su Zimo was resting with his eyes closed. He had long sensed Qin Ce’s arrival but ignored him.
It was only when Qin Ce spoke that he opened his eyes slowly. He did not get up and merely asked indifferently, “Is there anything?”
A cold glint flashed through the depths of Qin Ce’s eyes.
As a prince, what sort of status did he possess?
Furthermore, he was a Perfected Immortal who had just obtained Rank 2 on the Perfected Immortal Ranking. Yet, this Heaven Immortal from the lower worlds before him did not even stand up to greet him!
Qin Ce recovered quickly and smiled. “Su Zimo, I’m here this time round to make a deal with you. For you, this will be something that will help you gain a meteoric rise!”
Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged, as though he was unmoved.
Through his spirit perception, he could sense the hostility in the depths of Qin Ce’s heart although the latter was smiling!
As a prince, Qin Ce came from a noble background and had a powerful bloodline. He looked down on cultivators from the lower worlds from the bottom of his heart.
Although it seemed like he was discussing a deal with Su Zimo, there was a
hint of arrogance in his tone. Instead, it seemed like he was giving alms to Su Zimo.
Qin Ce said, “I’ll get straight to the point. As long as you’re willing to offer the Jade Pure Jade Manual, you’ll be able to gain the friendship of the Qin family.
No matter what happens in the future, you can look for me at Grand
Firmament Palace.”
“Of course, if you choose to leave Heaven and Earth Academy and join Grand Firmament Palace, I’ll consider it as well.”
“In fact, I can take you in as a disciple and teach you personally. You might even get the chance to cultivate the Dharmic Dao of the Grand Pure Jade
Manual!”
Su Zimo sneered internally.
Qin Ce wanted him to hand over the Jade Pure Jade Manual with just a promise.
“Not interested.”
Su Zimo rejected without hesitation.
Qin Ce’s expression darkened. Narrowing his gaze slightly, he said slowly, “You should know that I’m bent on getting my hands on the Jade Pure Jade Manual in your possession.”
“There are many ways for me to deal with you. You had better cherish this chance that I’m giving you or it’ll be too late for regrets!”
Qin Ce was no longer concealing his motives and was even openly threatening him!
“What are you trying to do?”
Yun Zhu could not take it anymore. She stood in front of Su Zimo and mocked,
“As a prince and a Perfected Immortal, how dare you threaten a Heaven
Immortal. Do you have any shame?”
“Heaven and Earth Academy is not invisible, you know.”
MO Qing stood out as well.
Turning around, Jun Yu came before Qin Ce with a cold gaze. “Qin Ce, do you want to continue fighting? If you have the guts, don’t get the Immortal Kings to save you this time round!”
In the blink of an eye, the three fairies stood out.
One of them was even Rank 1 of the Perfected Immortal Ranking this time round, the Supreme Perfected Immortal, Jun Yu!
The pressure on Qin Ce increased exponentially.
After a moment of silence, Qin Ce shrugged his shoulders and suddenly smiled.
“It’s just a casual remark. Why are you guys taking it so seriously?”
With that said, Qin Ce turned and walked towards the Builder Tree.
On the side of the Pure Land of Bliss, Shi Wunian looked in Su Zimo’s direction deeply.
Qin Ce was not the only one—Shi Wunian had noticed Su Zimo as well.
The Great Mount Meru Seal was a secret skill exclusive to Mount Meru of the Pure Land of Bliss.
Su Zimo obtained the Dharmic formulation of the secret skill and was able to cultivate the Great Mount Meru Seal to such an extent—it was clear that he had obtained the legacy of an accomplished monk of the Buddhist monasteries!
Since it was a legacy of the Buddhist monasteries, he should be the one most qualified to inherit it!
The small commotion here calmed down before long.
The hundred Perfected Immortals and a hundred Arhats moved one after another and arrived beneath the Builder Tree under countless envious gazes.
After everyone sat down, a fairy from the Elixir Firmament Immortal Domain stood out and smiled gently. “There’s plenty of time. There’s no need for everyone to be in a hurry to cultivate. I’m good at tea and can serve a cup of fragrant tea for everyone.”
“Alright!”
Shi Ge, Rank 8 of the Perfected Immortal Ranking, burst into laughter. “I’ve long heard that Fairy Luo Hua’s tea brewing skills are unparalleled. To think that we would be lucky enough to have a taste of it today!”
Qin Ce, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others nodded as well.
Shi Wunian and the other Arhats did not reject the immortal tea as well.
Fairy Luo Hua smiled gently and took out a tea set that she had prepared long ago from her storage bag, brewing tea skillfully.
The boiling spirit spring was injected with fresh tea leaves. It was misty and the fragrance of the tea wafted into one’s nose, refreshing one’s mind.
The people before them, especially the 20 paragons on the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings, would be the future of the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and Pure Land of Bliss!
If nothing went wrong, there was a high chance that the paragons on the two ranking lists would have a high chance of entering the Grotto-heaven realm to become Immortal Kings!
For many people, this was a rare opportunity for them to build their networks.
It was clear that Fairy Luo Hua was prepared for this—she wanted to get closer to everyone present, especially the paragons on the two ranking lists.
Fairy Luo Hua handed the brewed immortal tea to the 20 paragons on the Perfected Immortal and Arhat Rankings personally.
Thereafter, she sent the remaining immortal tea to the other cultivators one after another.
“Good tea!”
Sword Immortal Yue Hua savored it carefully and praised.
“It’s not bad indeed.”
Qin Ce nodded slightly as well. “Unfortunately, there seems to be something missing.”
Right then, Meng Yao smiled gently. “Everyone, if you don’t mind, let me play the zither as accompaniment. Do enjoy my music.”
“Amazing!”
Yun Mubai’s eyes lit up as he clapped and smiled.
Qin Ce, Zhuo Wuchen and even the Arhats were invigorated.
As one of the four great fairies, Zither Immortal Meng Yao’s reputation far surpassed Fairy Luo Hua!
Not many of the immortals and monks present had heard Meng Yao’s zither before.
Now that they had the chance to listen to this immortal music, even some
Arhats felt emotional, let alone the Perfected Immortals present.
In reality, Meng Yao’s actions were similar to Luo Hua’s thoughts.
The people before her were all top paragons and monster incarnates of the Heavenly World. If she could get to know these people, it would raise her reputation to another level!
The reason why few people could hear her zither was not only because she was proud.
It was because most people were useless to her and were not worthy of her playing the zither..
