Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone except Li Nianfan frowned at the same time when they walked out of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

Gu Xirou said, “There’s a Demon in front of us!”

Taoist Xinghe said, “Seems to be in the Fallen Town. The Demon isn’t weak.”

It seemed to be very strong since Taoist Xinghe said it was not weak.

Li Nianfan hurriedly said, “There are a lot of civilians in the Fallen Town. Can I please trouble you all to check it out?”

He had a lot of sentiments for the Fallen Town. Most importantly, there were a lot of ordinary folks in there. Nanan was there, too. He would naturally be worried.

Ziye hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Li. We’ve got this!”

They would be demented if they did not seize the opportunity to impress the expert.

Gu Xirou could not wait. She stepped on some clouds and started to fly. “Mr. Li, we’ll head over first.”

The others quickly followed. “Same.”

Soon, they flew far away.

Li Nianfan was envious that they could teleport and fly anywhere. ‘It’s so convenient being a bigshot.

‘It’ll probably be alright since the Immortals are heading there.’

Then, he looked up at the horizon. He was shocked.

They were flickering like stars. Figures moved around like they were fighting.

He focused and saw the small figure. It seemed to be Nanan.

Li Nianfan quickly tugged on Daji and said, “Let’s go, we have to hurry!”

Meanwhile, at the Fallen Town.

Nanan looked serious. She turned into a figure and levitated above the Fallen Town.

Most people were hiding in their houses. Some hid in remote alley corners, protecting their kids in their embrace.

“Nanan, be careful!”

Everyone was terrified. They all shouted at Nanan with worry. Aunty Zhang was very anxious.

Some kids were ignorant and fearless. They were amazed, “Wow, Sister Nanan’s an Immortal. Awesome!”

Opposite Nanan was a huge donkey. It did not look that different from an ordinary donkey. However, its hooves were stepping on fiery red clouds. It looked majestic.

The donkey looked surprised. It looked at Nanan with disbelief. “Little girl, who are you? Why do you have an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure with you?!”

Nanan said coldly, “I’m someone you shouldn’t mess with. Hurry up and beat it, this town’s under my protection!”

“Ha, you’re just a cultivator from the Yuan Ying realm. How dare you speak to me like that? I could blow you to bits if it weren’t for that Ultimate Spiritual Treasure!”

The Donkey Demon said coldly, “Give me the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure and a virgin boy and girl. Only then will I leave peacefully without killing anyone.”

Nanan said with an innocent face, “Wouldn’t it be nice for a good donkey to eat grass? I have two Five-Color-Sacred Cows in my backyard and they eat grass every day. They’re beyond happy.”

“Eat grass? Five-Color-Sacred Cows?” The Donkey Demon was taken aback. Then, it laughed and chuckled. “You’re unexpectedly funny, little girl. It’s natural for Demons to eat people, stop resisting!”

“Eat this!”

Nanan fired a huge fireball from her hand like it was a cannon.

“You bite off more than you can chew!” sneered the Donkey Demon. It simply opened its mouth and breathed fire. The fireball was instantly devoured. The fire from the donkey turned into a Fire Dragon, coming at Nanan.

Nanan held the Reflective Mirror above her head. The mirror shined brightly!

Suddenly, Nanan was surrounded by mirrors and the fire attack was reflected.

The two fire attacks clashed with each other and Nanan was surrounded by a sea of fire.

“Little girl, even if you have the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure as a defense, my powers are still miles ahead of yours. It’s just a matter of time before I kill you. I’ll eat you first!”

The Donkey Demon laughed maniacally. It stepped forward and spat fire like a merciless fire thrower.

Suddenly, a chilling shine appeared out of thin air. The air moved like water ripples. An invisible sharp sword attacked the Donkey Demon from the side! It appeared without a sign but it was powerful.

The Donkey Demon felt that slash and immediately dodged it. A strand of fur was chopped off its back.

It started to sweat. It yelled in a frantic and shocked voice, “You sneaky little girl, a silent attack from another Ultimate Spiritual Treasure. Truly scary!”

“Seems like I can’t spare your life any longer!”

The Donkey Demon looked violent. It opened its mouth and fire surrounded the Heavenly Water Sword. It started to burn.

Sizzle!

The Heavenly Water Sword trembled. Its powers started to fade.

The Donkey Demon sneered. It kicked away the Heavenly Water Sword and said, “You’re indeed a good treasure. Too bad your user’s too weak! You shall be mine from now on!”

It stared at Nanan and smiled. It said excitedly, “Haha, God bless me! I didn’t expect to run into such luck when I just descended to this realm. Two Ultimate Spiritual Treasures, I’m rich!”

“You donkey!”

Nanan knew she was not capable to fight him. She started to use another strategy. She said calmly, “If I were you, I’d hurry up and run. I have two Ultimate Spiritual Treasures. That means I have bigshots that support me. You can’t afford to mess with them! They’re nearby. If they came over, you’d be straight-up dead!”

“Ha, bluffing again.”

The Donkey Demon did not care. It said smugly, “This is my first battle since I got to this realm. I have to get a good start. I’ll be having your items and I’ll also be eating a young boy and a young girl! Nobody can stop me now!”

It was a mere small demon in the Above Immortal Realm. It usually did not dare to eat people in the cities. However, it was in the Immortal Realm now. It suddenly became an elite demon, so it could easily eat people. It did not need to hide and be sneaky.

It became reckless at the thought of it. It screamed and attacked Nanan with its fire breath.

Fireballs came out of the fire like meteors and comets. They were about to crash into the Fallen Town!

Nanan was anxious. She could not do anything to save it.

Suddenly, a huge green branch rose from the ground and stopped the fireballs.

“A Tree Demon? Is this a Sacred Land or something? Opportunity! This is an opportunity that belongs to me!” exclaimed the Donkey Demon. It felt like it ran into the biggest luck.

“That’s right. It’s your opportunity to become the expert’s food.”

A voice could be heard. It sounded calm, slow, and steady. Then, Ziye and the others slowly appeared above the Fallen Town. They calmly looked at the Donkey Demon.

The donkey was surprised. It alarmingly looked at everyone, its eyes almost popping out of its skull. Its fur stood on end. It went from being lazy to being stiff and straight.

The donkey looked like it became a giant porcupine. It was extremely petrified.

“Immortals? Why are there Immortals?”

The Donkey Demon could not believe its eyes. It was disorientated. “One, two, three. Three Immortals in total?!”

Moreover, they seemed to be very powerful. Any one of them could kill it without a doubt.

It went cold as a shiver went down its spine. It turned around to run without hesitation, trying to flee as fast as it could.

‘Two Ultimate Spiritual Treasures simply appeared, followed by three Immortals at once. What’s going on? Did I land in a fake Immortal Realm?’

The Donkey Demon noticed the Immortals were chasing after it. It almost had a mental breakdown. It sobbed, “I’m just a small demon. All I wanted was to eat a few people. People eat demons and demons eat people, it’s not against the law. Immortals, spare me!”

“It’s your fault for picking the wrong place. Don’t be sad though. It’s quite suitable for you to be eaten by the expert.”

Gu Xirou held a zither. “Let me do it. The expert likes meat and my zither can hit it without injuring its delicious meat.”

Ziye nodded understandingly. “You’re right.”

“I… I…” The Donkey Demon did not know what to say. It said in despair, “Baa, I’m goners.”

All was peaceful when Li Nianfan arrived at the Fallen Town.

The civilians looked at Ziye and the others from afar, worshipping them. The donkey laid next to Ziye with its eyes closed. It was very calm.

Li Nianfan asked in a surprised tone, “Donkey Demon?”

Nanan quickly nodded. She took the credit and said, “Yes, Brother. I protected a lot of people this time.”

Li Nianfan immediately smiled and asked, “Nanan, you’re so awesome. You’re not hurt, right?”

Nanan shook her head.

Li Nianfan noticed the Locust Tree. He looked astounded.

He asked in shock, “The tree grew so much?”

The last time he saw it, the dried tree only had a few new branches. It did not take long for the wickers to grow.

Nanan replied, “Brother Nianfan, the tree’s now a demon. It helped the town by shielding it from a lot of fireballs.”

‘The tree became a demon? I knew it. It’s extraordinary.’

“Awesome! No wonder the branches looked charred.” Li Nianfan patted the branch and said, “Tree pal, thanks a lot.”

A gentle breeze blew, causing the leaves to move. It seemed to be responding to Li Nianfan.

“It isn’t easy for trees and plants to become demons. Especially trees without deep roots. It’s nearly impossible,” said Ziye. She looked at the tree affectionately and said, “My true form’s actually a Ziye Lily.”

Li Nianfan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Goddess Ziye was a flower.

Fascinating. Truly fascinating.

“Truly hard to come by,” said Li Nianfan as he smiled. He took out the wine jar and said, “Since it’s hard to come by, and our tree pal saved the town, we should drink to that.”

He poured everyone some beautiful wine. Then, they raised their glasses and drank.

“Ah! Beautiful wine!” Taoist Xinghe exclaimed in enjoyment. He was flushed.

There were so many benefits to hang around the bigshot.

“Naturally!” laughed Li Nianfan. He poured some wine for the tree, too.

He said, “If the ‘Investitures of the Gods’ existed, our tree pal can be the guardian of this mountain, protecting the peace.”

It would be interesting if the Immortal Realm had the God of Soil and Ground, the Kitchen God, Mountain Gods, and so forth.

He could simply summon the God of Soil and Ground and an old man would pop out from the ground. It would be fun and interesting.

Dragin remembered something and hurriedly said, “Oh, yeah. Brother, you haven’t told us about ‘Investitures of the Gods’. What happened to Ao Bing?”

Li Nianfan smiled helplessly and said, “Alright, alright. Don’t rush me. I’ll tell you the rest once we get back. But don’t be a crybaby then.”

He looked at the donkey on the ground. “The donkey…”

Taoist Xinghe immediately said, “Mr. Li, this is yours, naturally. We have no use keeping it anyway.”

“You guys know nothing about cooking. Let me tell you this, donkey meat is good stuff. One of the best delicacies!” Li Nianfan laughed. “I shall take it then. Too bad I didn’t bring Blackie out or Blackie could’ve carried this for me.”

“Let me do it!”

Yao Mengji leaped out and picked up the donkey. He carried the donkey on his shoulders and said, “Let me carry it! It’s not heavy at all, it’s really easy.”

Li Nianfan was embarrassed. He said, “Sorry for the trouble, Brother Yao.”

Then, everyone chatted and slowly headed towards the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

At the Above Immortal Realm.

The Liuyun Palace.

The palace was gone.

They cleaned up the debris and did not rebuild the palace. They dug a few mountain holes in its place and it became a temporary place of residence. It was pitiful and tragic.

Ye Liuyun did not care about luxury anymore. He was in a retreat ever since he got back.

Suddenly, Immortal Qi converged above the Liuyun Palace. It was a huge swirl, as powerful as a gulp from a whale.

Then, the Immortal Qi spontaneously combusted and a long Fire Dragon was swirling in the air.

The disciples looked astounded. They stupidly looked at the sky and felt the power.

Then, the Fire Dragon roared and descended with endless Immortal Qi. It landed behind the mountain as if it was devouring it.

The special effects were dazzling and beautiful.

Kaboom!

The stone door moved!

Ye Liuyun stepped out with a smirk.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Too many cultivators had dreamt of obtaining the Taiyi Golden Immortal status. It was something that bothered him for five thousand years!

He had a breakthrough because of some casual advice from the expert!

He would think it was a dream if he did not experience it himself. It was unreal.

The disciples were shocked and overjoyed. They immediately knelt to the ground and congratulated him, “Congratulations, Palace Master, for the breakthrough. What a success!”

‘The Sect Master’s truly the Sect Master. He must’ve worked hard since the last incident, that’s why he succeeded!’

“Get up, everyone.” Ye Liuyun chuckled. Then, he put his hands behind his back. He announced in a cool voice, “I know the Liuyun Palace went through a huge change. I was even nicknamed the Milk-Drinking Maniac. I became the laughing stock of the Above Immortal Realm, and I know you all doubted me at one point.”

He paused. Then, he sounded devoted and excited, “However, so what of the Milk-Drinking Maniac title? They don’t know that I gained such a huge opportunity because of this nickname! I’m proud of it! I’m completely content!”
