The five of them rushed out. Soon, they got out of the border.

Ding Xiaozhu’s head was unable to work out how they managed to do it. When she saw everyone go through the border, she was dumbfounded.

“This… This is…”

She looked at Payne blankly. Then, she cried out, “Did you all cultivate something new? How did you get past the border?”

Payne’s ego was instantly boosted. He felt satisfied as he gloated, “Ha-ha-ha! Cool, isn’t it?”

The Big Elder cut him off. He pestered, “Stop gloating, run!”

“Hold this,” Payne handed the Spiritual Root to Ding Xiaozhu. The group of five soon exited the border and left the mountain on clouds.

As they were leaving, Ding Xiaozhu could not help asking, “What was that all about?”

She looked at the Power Fragment in her hands and could not help crying out, “Isn’t this Spiritual Root!?”

“Exactly! This is Spiritual Root!” Payne nodded. “This is something I shamefully asked for during my visit to the expert.”

“The expert’s willing to give you Spiritual Root that can penetrate the border?” Ding Xiaozhu looked at Payne, stunned. “He’s too generous!”

Payne could not help smiling bitterly. “How’s that generous? This Spiritual Root was trash to the expert!”

Trash?

Ding Xiaozhu tightened her hand. No matter what it was, this was a treasure to her!

“I should’ve been aware of this during Immortalizing,” Payne said as he voiced out his thoughts. “I didn’t feel any resistance. I didn’t even feel any turbulence. I just somehow arrived in this Immortal Land. I thought it was due to the reconnecting of the road that changes were made. It seems that it was due to this Spiritual Root!”

“What you’re saying is that this Spiritual Root not only penetrates borders, it can also…” The Big Elder could not help gulping, his voice trembling. “It can penetrate through a different realm?”

Everyone’s heart was racing.

This was the road between the Immortal Land and the Immortal Realm! Although the road had been reconnected, there was still a huge resistance in between that they could not penetrate. If the Immortals wanted to descend, they needed to sacrifice some things. However, with the Spiritual Root, they would be able to ignore this rule!

This… This…

If more Immortals found out about this, they would go crazy!

“Have you all thought about the source of this Spiritual Root?” Ding Xiaozhu said with a serious face.

Everyone jumped. “The source?”

“You’re all thinking too naively.” Ding Xiaozhu took a deep breath. There was fear in her eyes. “This is merely a Power Fragment and already, it can penetrate through different realms. If the source of this Spiritual Root is fully grown, how would it be?”

With that said, everyone’s pupils dilated at the same time. They were all trembling.

This Spiritual Root was nothing ordinary. Of course, the source would not be ordinary as well. One could speculate that once the source of the root was fully grown, it could perhaps…open up the world!

Not perhaps, it would definitely be able to!

With that, the Immortal Realm and Immortal Land would become a joint new world, just like the ancient times!

Payne gasped and said, “The expert seems to be a figure from ancient times. He’s been feeling nostalgic about the ancient times.”

Ding Xiaozhu nodded. “Exactly, the expert planted this. Perhaps he has already started plotting for the future.”

“Terrifying, so terrifying!”

The three Elder’s faces were filled with fear, anticipation, excitement, and shock.

Him, alone, rebuilding the ancient times!

This power was way beyond one’s imagination! Was this the world of the bigshot?

What about the other bigshots?

Meanwhile, everyone’s heart thumped. Their hair standing on ends as a chill aroused from within. They all looked up to see that not far ahead, the colorful clouds were moving in the air. Three Sky Horses with snowy white wings were standing on top of the colored clouds. They were pulling a golden carriage. Other than the special effect, they exuded a strong power. What a shocking sight!

“Lord…Lord Immortal?”

Cold sweat appeared on Payne’s forehead. Everyone else’s body stiffened as their hearts skipped a beat.

This was the Lord Immortal, an existence of the late-Golden Immortal. His treasures were no joke! He was a true top-ranking bigshot in the Immortal Land. Even his carriage was pulled by the Sky Horses, and his carriage itself was an Immortal Item!

They had no way to resist at all!

“You secretly saved her. It seems you’ve made your choice.” His calm voice came out from the carriage. There was no emotion in his tone but he was very serious. “The person who’s able to break through the border is indeed capable. You’re qualified for me to look at you differently!”

Payne bit his tongue and said, “We don’t know when we offended the Lord Immortal. Please, forgive us.”

“Don’t worry, you didn’t offend me!” the Lord Immortal laughed. He then said, “I won’t make it hard for you. You just have to do one thing for me.”

With that, a painting scroll flew out from the carriage and appeared in front of Payne.

“Bring this painting to the man behind you. Just tell him I’d like to hear what he thinks about it,” the Lord Immortal said calmly, his tone certain.

Payne looked at the painting. Although he did not know what it contained, he could feel the challenging tone from the Lord Immortal. He took a deep breath and said, “Lord Immortal, if you do this, you may have to prepare yourself to endure the expert’s rage.”

“Is this courage of yours given to you by the so-called expert? You dare doubt me? You think I’m not as good as your expert?” The Lord Immortal’s tone was challenging. He did not say anything else. He simply laughed and drove off arrogantly…

Watching the Lord Immortal leave, Payne could not help saying in a lowered voice, “It’s not what I think, the truth is that you’re nowhere close to the expert! You’re nowhere close!”

He was unmoved, he even wanted to laugh.

The Big Elder also could not help saying, “Sect Master, where did the Lord Immortal’s confidence come from?”

Payne put away the painting and said, “Perhaps this is the courage of ignorance.”

Early the next morning.

At the Fallen Town.

Li Nianfan had a small red bird on his shoulder, while Daji and Dragin followed by his side, walking along the town.

This was Dragin’s first time in the world of ordinary men. She was so excited that she would check everything out. She acted her age, a very active six or seven-year-old girl.

It had been almost a month before Li Nianfan dared to bring out Dragin. This was due to the recent adjustment. Dragin was finally able to hide her fishtail and the scales on her body.

Although there were many demons in this Immortal Realm, people would still look at an ordinary man strangely if he went out with a demon.

The three of them came to the breakfast stall.

Instantly, the stall owner greeted with enthusiasm, “Mr. Li, good morning!”

“Boss, three bowls of Tofu Pudding, two plates of buns!” Li Nianfan smiled. Then, he looked at Dragin and corrected himself, “Make it three!”

“Alrighty! Have a seat. Please, wait for a moment.” The stall owner smiled. He then whispered into Li Nianfan’s ears, “Mr. Li, is your wife pregnant?”

Li Nianfan instantly had sweat all over him. He shook his head hastily, “No, you think too much!”

The stall owner instantly laughed it off. “Sorry, a misunderstanding!”

He was curious. There was only an additional little girl. Why did he order so much more than usual?

Dragin sat in her seat, looking around curiously. She asked, “Brother, what’s pregnant? Is it a good thing? Can you bring me?”

Daji instantly smacked her head. “No way! It’s none of your business!”

Dragin looked wronged. She instantly stopped talking.

Soon, three plates of buns were put on the table. However, the owner did not walk away. He asked, “Mr. Li, did you hear what recently happened at the Clear Moon Lake? recently”

“You mean the increase of fishes in the lake?”

The stall owner waved it off. “That was in the past. The water level of the Clear Moon Lake rose!”

“The water level rose?” Li Nianfan paused.

“Yeah, don’t you know?” the stall owner nodded. He said, “About three days ago, the water level of the Clear Moon Lake suddenly rose. Not just that, the normally calm Clear Moon Lake is no longer calm. The wind in the area was blowing wild. Even a few fish boats had flipped over. When everyone was happily fishing, who’d have thought that such a thing would happen? So sudden!”

Li Nianfan frowned, “What caused it?”

The rising of the water level was not a good thing. With wild wind blowing? The problem was severe. This was a sign of a flood. If so, the Fallen Town was likely to be flooded.

“Who knows?” The stall owner shook his head and sighed. “I’ve lived so long and yet I’ve never heard of the Clear Moon Lake getting pissed off before. The water level has already flooded its surroundings. Within three days, the water has already spread to a ten-mile radius!”

Li Nianfan frowned, “Are there any safety precautions?”

The stall owner said, “I heard some Immortals are going over. Perhaps the problem isn’t that big.”

Li Nianfan made a gesture, “Alright, thanks for telling me.”

The stall owner said hastily, “Everyone knows about this. There’s nothing to thank me for.”

Li Nianfan scratched his head. He felt tired.

The location he chose to live in was not good. He thought the Fallen Town was a good place to live. Why were strange things happening one after another? Was he about to die?

“Phew. Will it flood? What a headache!”

If it did, he would have to go over and have a look. Although some cultivators were involved, it was still related to his life. It would be better for him to know more.

It was just a flood. It was not a big deal to him. Perhaps he could ask the Holy Emperor to help out. Complementing his knowledge with the cultivators, it would be a perfect match.

Meanwhile, the small red bird was flying from Li Nianfan’s shoulder to Dragin’s shoulder. It said in a low voice, “This is caused by your father, right? Look, even the expert has a headache. Look how unhappy he is! Your father will be dead!”

Dragin’s small face was turning pale. Her small face was twisted as she became anxious.

No way! She could not let her father go on like this. She had to save him!

She said in a low voice, “Sister Phoenix, do you think my father can be saved?”

The Fire Phoenix said, “Since Mr. Li’s not affected yet, it’s not too late.”

Dragin’s eyes lit up instantly. “Then, I’m taking one day’s leave.”

“Finish your chores then take the leave.”

Dragin nodded, “Okay.”

After eating and filing up, they were not in the mood to continue walking around.

When they got back to the four-part architecture, Dragin instantly started to get busy. She wiped the floor diligently, her tiny tail trailing behind her. She merely needed half a day to complete all her chores.

She looked at Li Nianfan and said in a low voice, “Brother, I want to go home for a while.”

“Go home?” Li Nianfan snapped out of his thoughts. “Oh right, I almost forgot you’re from the Clear Moon Lake.”

Since changes were happening in the Clear Moon Lake, the small carp wanting to go home and have a look was normal.

What was her home like? Could it be a small carp cave? They called it a ‘Palace’?

Even the thought of it was funny.

Li Nianfan asked, “Do you have any family members back home?”

“Yes, my father and my brother.”

“Then go home and have a look so that they’re not worried about you. However, don’t go home empty-handed.” Li Nianfan smiled. He prepared some fruits and snacks for her. “Bring these home, tell them you have learned a thing or two outside.”

A Carp Demon learning from a Fire Phoenix? Perhaps her family members would be terrified, making her the proudest Carp Demon!

Dragin’s eyes widened instantly. She accepted the fruits and said, “Thank you, Brother. I’ll leave now!”

Li Nianfan could not help reminding her, “Okay. Take care, stay safe!”
