Chapter 1002 – Immortal King?
Chapter 1002 – Immortal King?
The eyes of the official in charge of the records lit up, 100,000 Immortal Crystals, this was a big deal!
Her attitude became even more attentive, “I wonder what is the name of the person the immortal is trying to find, what race is he, and what specific characteristics does he have?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, “Her name is Little Orange, she is of the Demon Race, carrying the Peacock and Poverty Bloodline, her body is a tiger with wings, and her person is a lively little girl who looks about eighteen or nineteen years old.”
While recording, the official asked, “Does the fairy know the exact appearance of the little orange? If you know, please show me its looks with your divine thoughts.”
Xu Chuniang understood and informed the official of Little Orange’s person and body in divine thoughts.
The official asked some other questions, and after learning from Xu Chunniang that Little Orange had lost track of him before he could enter the Immortal Realm, she frowned without leaving a trace.
“If the fairy’s guess is true, Little Orange is in all probability no longer in Zongdang Heaven.”
Although Xu Chuniang also vaguely had such a guess, she was more interested in knowing on what basis the mandarin had arrived at such a judgment.
“I wish to hear more.”
The official sat up straight, habitually tapping his fingers on the desktop, and said nonchalantly.
“Immortals have ascended to this Zongdang Heaven, so I guess it must have been a while, I wonder if you have noticed that people who have become Immortals wanting to leave the Immortal Realm through the Boundary Lake are actually very difficult to do so.”
Without waiting for Xu Chuniang to reply, the mandarin gave a direct answer, “Because of the limitations of the laws of the Heavenly Dao, it is very difficult for those of us who have become Immortals to travel to the lower realms, and we need to pay a great price to pass through the boundary lake.
This is because the power of an Immortal exceeds that of the lower realms by too much, and if just any Immortal could easily travel to the lower realms, it might bring devastating harm to the living beings of the lower realms.”
Xu Chunniang had already been here in Zongdang Heaven for some time, so she naturally understood the trick.
“This is a confinement set up by the Heavenly Dao in order to balance the power of the Immortals, an ordinary human Immortal who wishes to travel to the Lower Realm through the Boundary Lake must dissipate all of his Immortal Qi and ninety-nine percent of his cultivation in order to succeed.”
“Not bad.”
The official gave Xu Chuniang an approving glance, “All Immortals below the Immortal King realm who wish to pass through the Realm Lake will be subject to this restriction, unless Immortals above the Immortal King realm, who have already obtained the protection of the Heavenly Dao, will be unaffected.
I suspect that the female Immortal you said intercepted Little Orange is at least an Immortal King!”
“Immortal King?”
Xu Chuniang’s mood instantly became much heavier, for the human immortals living in Zongdang Daily, an Immortal King level powerhouse was simply unimaginable.
Seeing her gloomy expression, the mandarin said in relief.
“Of course, these are just my guesses, there are exceptions to everything, besides Immortal King realm powerhouses, the Imperial Immortal Orders issued by the five Emperors and some special Immortal Objects also allow the holders to pass through the Boundary Lake unharmed.
Maybe that female Immortal with mediocre cultivation is just lucky and happens to have such an Immortal artifact in her hand?”
Xu Chuniang knew clearly that the mandarin’s words were nothing more than comforting; whether it was the Emperor Immortal Order or those special Immortal Objects capable of obscuring the power of the Heavenly Dao, neither of them could be obtained by ordinary people.
She had to accept the fact that the female immortal who had taken Little Orange captive was far more powerful than she had imagined.
I’m afraid that it would be difficult to find Little Orange’s whereabouts in a moment’s time.
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and suppressed her complicated thoughts, “I’ve understood everything you’ve said, thank you for telling me all of this.”
The official’s mood was also a bit complicated, she originally thought that she had received an ordinary commission, but she never thought that it might involve a certain big shot. “Then, this commission, should I still issue it for you? That female Immortal, even if she isn’t an Immortal King, with her means of being able to get through the Boundary Lake unharmed, she must at least be a Heavenly Immortal.
After the commission is released, regardless of whether or not it is completed, as long as the commission is still published in our Commission Hall, you will need to pay a fee for it every year, and the person you’re looking for may have long since left Zongdang Heaven.”
Xu Chuniang knew in her heart that there was a possibility that what the other party said was the truth, but even if there was only a one-in-a-million hope, she refused to miss it.
“Didn’t you say that commissions released in Zongdou Heaven would have a chance to be seen and picked up by commission hunters from higher Heavens as long as they could afford the price?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, “With a price of 100,000 Immortal Crystals, can those people be invited?”
The official thought for a moment, “This price …… may be possible for the commission hunters of the Everquiet Sky to pick up, but I’m afraid that the Heavenly Immortals of the Triple Heavens won’t be able to look at this amount of Immortal Crystals.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t say any more, the immortal crystals she could use in her hands were limited, and she was only afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hire those Heavenly Immortals even if she poured her family’s money into it.
“Help me with an additional line, if there is news of Little Orange, I am willing to pay three thousand to thirty thousand immortal crystals.”
The official nodded and quickly drafted the commission before handing it over to Xu Chuniang for a look, if there were no objections, the commission would soon be released.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the commission and cheerfully paid a fifty percent deposit, this was the rule of the commission store, no matter who came here to post the commission, they had to pay half of the agreed upon remuneration upfront.
After receiving the deposit, the mandarin handed her a specially made jade token.
“In this jade appraisal, you can see the commissions you’ve posted, like this kind of people-seeking commission, there are usually many people taking it at the same time, and whoever completes the commission first will get paid.
Those messages related to Little Orange will also be directly displayed in the jade identification, you just have to judge whether they are true or false.”
After learning the method of using the Jade Guide, Xu Chuniang left the commission hall and looked towards the immortal veins around Floating Jade City.
Floating Jade City was an aerial city built on immortal veins, and such a full and massive immortal vein was rare in the entire Zongdang Heaven.
Xu Chuniang identified the location, and after finding the place where the Immortal Vein was the densest, she slowly leaned towards it.
“Stand still, ahead is the important place of the Immortal Vein, and idle people are not allowed to approach!”
At the place close to the Immortal Vein, a team of well armored guards blocked the way.
This was the manpower of the City Lord’s Mansion, guarding the Immortal Vein for the City Lord, preventing the Immortal Vein from being stolen by people with ill intentions and damaging the foundation of Floating Jade City.
Xu Chuniang hurriedly made her intentions clear, “I’m here to borrow the Immortal Ascension Platform.”
Floating Jade City’s Immortal Vein was very large, but the city’s protective array needed to borrow the power of the Immortal Vein, and the daily consumption was quite a bit.
In order to prevent the immortal veins from being damaged, the city lord had set up some Immortal Ascension Platforms in the immortal veins, and by spending a sum of Immortal Crystals, one would be able to borrow an Immortal Ascension Platform to cultivate, greatly enhancing the efficiency of cultivation.
The leading guard’s face slowed down a little, but he did not completely let his guard down, still keeping a close eye on Xu Chuniang.
“Please show your identity token.”
Before she came, Xu Chuniang had already had Monkey and a few others inquire, in order to protect the Immortal Vein, all those who borrowed the Immortal Ascension Platform were required to hand in their identity tokens before practicing.
