"Since that was the case, then I would change to a loftier posture!"
Mu Feiyang looked at the faces before him and spoke coldly. Under the terrified gazes of the Seven Star Sect's Sect Master and three elders, his figure slowly rose into the air, looking down upon them.
"Y-you... you're in the Sky Soaring Realm!"
Seeing Mu Feiyang suspended in the air and looking down at them, Eureka nearly collapsed onto the ground. No matter what, he had never imagined that Mu Feiyang would be a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator.
That was the Sky Soaring Realm! And he was such a young youth, looking only eighteen or nineteen!
Had he started cultivating in his mother's womb?
As the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sect, Eureka had cultivated for more than five hundred years, yet he had only barely broken through to the Adamantine Realm.
The cultivation realms of the True Spirit Realm were: Body Refining Realm, Qi Gathering Realm, Innate Realm, Adamantine Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, True Spirit Realm, Sky Soaring Realm, Imperial Realm, Grand Unity Realm, Saint Realm, Great Saint Realm, and Great Emperor Realm—twelve realms in total.
Each realm was further divided into nine levels. One level was one whole world apart; even a single level's difference within the same realm was the difference between heaven and earth.
In the True Spirit Realm, very few people could battle across levels. Only peerless cultivation geniuses, one in ten thousand, might be able to accomplish such a feat.
"My lord, spare my life!"
"I bear no ill intent toward you, my lord. I merely wished to inquire into your background. Please, for the sake of my elderly parents above and young children below, do not kill me."
Once his terror subsided, Eureka immediately knelt and began begging Mu Feiyang for mercy. This was a mighty Sky Soaring Realm expert!
"Fuck!"
"Are cultivators in this world all this spineless? I hadn't even made a move, and he was already kneeling. He was worse than even the villagers of Laga Village!"
Mu Feiyang was utterly dumbfounded by Eureka's move. He had not expected these so-called cultivators to kneel before him before he had even attacked.
What Mu Feiyang did not know was how reverent cultivators of this world were toward those of higher realms. In the cultivation world, strength had always reigned supreme.
If someone of a lower realm dared show disrespect to someone of a higher realm, then even if they died, they died for nothing. There was no reasoning to be had.
Eureka was only at the second level of the Adamantine Realm, three major realms below the Sky Soaring Realm he believed Mu Feiyang to be. How could he not be terrified?
"It was not impossible for me to spare you. That depended on how much life-saving money you could offer."
Mu Feiyang descended from the air and landed before them, speaking in the tone of a street thug. He had never intended to kill them; he only wanted to scare them.
They had soured his mood, so they had to pay at least a little compensation for his emotional damages!
Besides, they had delayed the time he needed to find his wife.
"My lord, this is a small token of my sincerity. Please accept it with a smile."
Upon hearing that he needed to pay life-saving money, Eureka hurriedly removed the Storage Ring from his hand and presented it to Mu Feiyang.
Eureka's heart was bleeding. It was all because his loose tongue had offended a Sky Soaring Realm expert. That ring held the collection of his entire lifetime!
Still, as long as he could preserve his life, even losing the entire Seven Star Sect would not matter. Resources could be found again, but if his life was gone, then truly nothing would remain.
After Eureka handed over his Storage Ring, the three elders beside him did not dare lag behind. They all handed their Storage Rings to Mu Feiyang as well.
"You know what's good for you. I'll spare your lives this time, but if there was a next time, one ring would not be enough to settle it."
"We wouldn't dare! My lord, we would never dare again!"
"Hmph!"
"I didn't think you would."
Mu Feiyang snorted coldly. Then his figure appeared in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from Eureka and the others' sight.
"Phew...!"
Watching Mu Feiyang disappear, Eureka collapsed onto the ground and let out a long breath. They had just walked through the gates of hell; it had been truly terrifying.
"Sect Master, this place is merely the empire's farthest frontier. How could a Sky Soaring Realm expert appear here? Even our empire does not have many such powerful experts, does it?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Eureka shot the elder who had questioned him a glare. How could insignificant people like them possibly guess at the affairs of such great figures?
"Let's go!"
Eureka spoke and headed back toward the palace. The three elders naturally followed. Just as the four of them were about to return to the palace, another figure suddenly appeared before them.
"M-my lord, why have you returned?"
The person who appeared before the four was none other than Mu Feiyang, who had gone and returned. The others had muddled his mind so badly earlier that he had actually forgotten to ask about his wife.
"Her name is Mu Qianxue. Have any of you seen her or know her?"
Mu Feiyang ignored their fear. With a wave of his hand, he used spiritual energy to conjure Mu Qianxue's likeness and began asking for news of her.
"My lord, we have never seen this person, nor have we heard that name."
Looking at the image before them, Eureka studied it carefully but did not recognize her. He shook his head and replied.
"You haven't heard of her?"
Mu Feiyang muttered to himself, and his figure disappeared before them once again. Since they did not know her, he could only search elsewhere.
He refused to believe that he could search the entire world and still fail to find Mu Qianxue. When he found her, he would definitely let her taste his One Hundred and Eight Techniques of Pleasing Women.
And so, Mu Feiyang began his journey to find his wife. What he did not know was that the person he was flying all over the world to find was not from this world at all.
Immortal Spirit Realm.
Within a heavenly palace in the Immortal Spirit Realm sat a woman. If Mu Feiyang had been there, he would certainly have recognized her as Mu Qianxue, the woman he sought.
"Emperor, where did you go two days ago? We searched for you for two whole days and thought something had happened to you."
Hearing the voice from below, Mu Qianxue finally returned to her senses from what had happened two days ago. She had never imagined that she, the dignified Emperor of the Immortal Spirit Realm, would lose her chastity to a mortal from the lower realm.
It was all that damned Emperor Yongle's fault. If he had not ambushed her and drugged her, she would not have suffered the drug's effects and accidentally fallen into the lower realm.
"I'm fine. There was merely a small accident."
"Send the order: my Spirit Immortal Palace will wage all-out war against Emperor Yongle's Holy Land. Even if we fight until not a single soldier remains, we will never stop."
"Yes, Emperor!"
Although she was deeply puzzled by why the Emperor was so enraged, everything in the Spirit Immortal Palace was decided by the Emperor. No matter how great her doubts, she could only obey.
After that woman left, Mu Qianxue sank into thought again. Originally, when she had departed, she had wanted to kill that mortal, but for some reason, she had left behind her name before leaving.
"Mortal, just wait for me. Once I kill Emperor Yongle, I'll return and kill you too."
