Yusuf Zuck had spent seven days at Chicken Mountain, but he didn’t enjoy any so-called familial happiness. He was alone, secluded in a secret chamber for the entire seven days, and as for what he did or planned during this time, the women did not know. However, the women felt that the day to return home was not far away. After seven days, Yusuf Zuck headed north again and returned to the Saint Dragon Pavilion. At this moment, there were already about six hundred people gathered at the Saint Dragon Pavilion. These six hundred people included members of the Saint Dragon Pavilion, the Nine Sects and Eighteen Doors, the palace eunuchs, loose cultivators from outside, among others. Since the slots for entering the Immortal Mansion were limited, these six hundred plus people were essentially the most powerful congregation from the Mainland. Of course, there were also some less advanced cultivators, such as quite a few who had reached the Solidifying Pill stage, but none below that. These lesser cultivators were able to participate thanks to the protection of their families. For example, Tyler Nash was able to come because he was accompanied by Master Campbell, and the Saint Dragon Pavilion would say nothing about it. Then there were the direct disciples, heirs and such from the Great Sects, over two hundred above the Fusion stage, and the remaining four hundred or so were below the Fusion stage. "Brother Bryson, I have long admired you!" "Long admired, long admired..." As Yusuf Zuck passed through the crowd, many people greeted him with a fist clasp, even those who did not know him exchanged pleasantries. "Little Brother Bryson, you’re here? Where’s my precious disciple? I have reserved a spot for her, it’s beneficial to go in, why didn’t you bring her?" Jonas Hopkins couldn’t help but click his tongue in astonishment when he saw that Bryson Campbell actually dared to come back. "Sophia said she wasn’t interested!" Yusuf Zuck told the truth; Sophia had said exactly that, she really wasn’t interested. "Well, that’s just her nature. No worries, whatever treasures I obtain from the Immortal Mansion will be hers too. I have no children, only her as my disciple. Wherever she goes, I shall follow. Don’t you try to stop me when the time comes!" Jonas Hopkins hinted in his words. "Haha, who would dare to stop you?" Yusuf Zuck laughed loudly. "Little Brother Bryson, is your master really not coming?" Master Blackwell approached and asked. "He’s not coming, Master has an immortal treasure, so he’s not interested in this place." Yusuf Zuck shook his head. "Alright then." Master Blackwell cupped his hands and stopped conversing with Yusuf Zuck. This was a plaza within the Saint Dragon Pavilion, and with over six hundred people gathered here, it was bustling. Yusuf Zuck saw Grayson Martin, and the two huddled together to whisper. Meanwhile, not far behind Yusuf Zuck, Master Campbell, the old eunuch, was standing very quietly with Tyler Nash, whose face was covered in rotten, festering wounds. They seemed to keep others at bay, and no one dared to approach them. Indeed, Tyler Nash’s face seemed to have decayed, covered with pustules and blisters as if he had just been scalded by fire, a frightening sight, as if he had contracted a stubborn disease, a very disgusting appearance. But in this state, no one could discern his actual face. This was the solution Tyler Nash had come up with, to completely disfigure himself. "Alright, everyone be quiet!" Suddenly, Master Blackwell leaped into the air and called out sharply, and the plaza instantly fell silent. "Everyone is here; we shall depart immediately. The same old rules apply, and I hope none of you will break them. The Immortal Mansion is open for a limited time, so keep your disciples in check." "Let’s go," Master Blackwell said briefly. As his voice fell, he had already taken the lead and flew up, escaping towards the mountains beyond. "The ancestor of the Tian Yuan Sect is called Dario Wolfe, who has also brought with him several reclusive elders of the sect. Dario Wolfe is already in the early stages of crossing the tribulation, and those he brought with him are either fusion or return to void cultivators." "I saw it; just now, somebody looked at me with full murderous intent," Yusuf Zuck nodded. Earlier, many people had examined him with their Divine Sense, especially an old man with a vulture-like appearance who exuded killing intent. However, he didn’t call for an attack, seemingly restraining his anger. "All those with Mahayana or crossing tribulation cultivation will fly to the front. Hmm, Bryson Campbell, you come along too." While Yusuf Zuck and Grayson Martin were speaking softly, Master Blackwell suddenly signaled for all those above Mahayana to come to the front, apparently having something to say! "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Around sixty or so people flew to Master Blackwell’s side, flying shoulder to shoulder. Yusuf Zuck also made his way over. Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t help but be amazed. On this Mainland, there were more than sixty with cultivation above the Mahayana level? No, that’s not right. There should be even more than that, with some definitely not having arrived yet! "Whoosh~" Having seen all the experts with cultivation above Mahayana gather around, Master Blackwell suddenly waved his sleeve. A Blue Light Shield then enveloped everyone, and of course, they continued flying north. "Folks, the Immortal Mansion is only opened for three days. Last time, we made it to the entrance of the internal palace, just half a step away. So this time, those of us above Mahayana level, let’s not waste any time and advance or retreat together. We’ll try to unlock the internal palace before the mansion closes. As for the junior disciples from various sects, let them find treasures on their own. They shouldn’t go to the internal palace; not only would they be in the way, but in times of danger, we would also have to look out for them. This would not only distract us but also delay our progress!" "Indeed, Blackwell’s words make sense. We are aiming for the internal palace, so let’s let the junior cultivators search for treasures on their own." Jonas Hopkins nodded in agreement. "Alright, that’s all. Disperse," Master Blackwell was still man of few words. After speaking, everyone dispersed on their own. "Oh right, Bryson Campbell, you might not be familiar with the Immortal Mansion, let Zayn Reid explain it to you," Master Blackwell suddenly added. "Thank you." Yusuf Zuck bowed with his fists clasped, and Zayn Reid, with a smile, flew up beside Yusuf Zuck, flying shoulder to shoulder as he said, "I can’t tell you the exact location of the Immortal Mansion, but I can inform you about what’s inside." "The mansion is divided into the internal and external palaces. The external palace is situated at the forefront of the mansion, with five gates in succession. After entering the first gate, there’s a big garden inside the mansion. The garden is vast, with no danger, and there are many precious herbs and treasures that you can explore when the time comes." "And at the end of the garden is the second gate. This gate is dangerous because there is a formation within it. Although the formation isn’t strong, those without Solidifying Pill cultivation will still be killed." For original chapters go to NoveI[F]ire.net "The second layer has a vast Martial Practice Field with a Stele in the middle. The Stele bears an inscription of a wordless swordsmanship; however, to date, only one person has ever mastered it – the Earth Immortal Chad Lopez from the past." "Furthermore, above the Martial Practice Field’s sky is a starry sky, very close by. One can sit inside and meditate. Many people have made breakthroughs while inside." "The entrance to the third layer is guarded by guardian beasts. Once you enter that gate, you will be teleported to an independent space. You just need to defeat the guardian beast to proceed. However, those below the Nascent Soul Realm cannot make it." "In the third layer, there are mountains from which many Spirit Jade and Spirit Stones have been unearthed, as well as exotic herbs. However, there haven’t been any significant treasures discovered." "The fourth layer’s entrance is guarded by a Stone Giant. Shatter the Stone Giant, and you’ll pass through. Beyond the fourth layer, there are many powerful demon cultivators..." "The fifth layer is a long corridor, and within it, there is only one guardian beast, but this beast is extremely difficult to deal with. It might take the combined effort of dozens to defeat it!" "By defeating it, you can enter the internal palace. As for what’s inside the internal palace, that remains unknown to us." "Well, that’s pretty much it. The mansion is only open for three days, so we must proceed directly to the fifth layer at the fastest speed!" PS: Please read civilly. We live in a civilized society, so why resort to scolding when reading? Am I updating slowly? I feel it’s quite rapid; I take only one break on the weekend but still post three times a day, and from Monday to Friday, it’s five updates a day. Moreover, each Chapter is nearly the same length, never too short, always over two thousand words, some even reaching up to two thousand five hundred to six hundred words. Thank you, everyone. Please don’t resort to insults. Have fun! It’s Monday, so let your recommendation tickets and monthly votes come forth, and support me.
