Too Popular

Wang Xuan, in his Primordial Body, gazed into the distance and saw a massive city suspended in the air, magnificent and imposing, flowing with the aura of the Great Dao.

"From now on, there is no more talk of Primordial Chaos Divine Mud. I am Lu Renjia." He reminded himself not to be careless and cause his identity to be misplaced.

At this moment, he still carried the Mysterious Mobile Phone, which was a replica, but looked exactly the same as the original.

Wang Xuan seriously doubted whether there were other people like him who also possessed a clone of the Mysterious Mobile Phone.

"Haha, brother, you've finally arrived!" Xuan Tian, Black Crane, Jin Yu, and the others went out of the city and saw that familiar figure from afar.

In their eyes, Lu Renjia hadn't changed at all; he was still as otherworldly as ever, dressed in white as snow, serene and transcendent.

"Your cultivation has improved again?" Jin Yu was taken aback, feeling that Lu Renjia's temperament had become increasingly ethereal, with a sense of tranquility and otherworldliness.

Wang Xuan quickly adopted the demeanor expected of Lu Renjia, and said with a smile, "Brother Xuan, Brother Hei, Brother Jin, it's been several months since we last met, and you are all even more radiant than before."

Xuan Tian exclaimed in surprise, "You're no match for me. I have a feeling that you, with your True Immortal body, could crush Heavenly Grade Expert with one hand. That's a bit far-fetched. Is it just my imagination?"

"You're hallucinating," Wang Xuan shook his head.

Yuan Sheng also arrived. He was tall and had changed his hairstyle, sporting short, blond hair. He had an impressive presence and was quite eye-catching. He was sizing up the powerful figure who had risen to prominence in the Mysterious Sea.

However, Lu Renjia did not look fierce. His black hair was crystal clear, and although he was handsome, he also had a quiet and elegant air about him. His eyes were clear, like the water of Spirit Lake.

Lu Renjia now resembles Daoist True Immortal who has transcended the world, untouched by worldly affairs, standing out from the crowd with a unique aura.

Yuan Sheng secretly praised, "Isn't this much more pleasing to the eye than the Kong Xuan the Demon King? They are completely different styles."

Now, when people mention the Second King of Five Elements Mountain, the first thing that comes to mind is his billowing demonic aura and towering black mist, which has almost become his unique way of making an entrance.

Kong Xuan, as a demon king, is handsome but wild and rebellious. He is the kind of troublemaker who wants to cause trouble. He is unruly and domineering, a typical peerless demon king.

Lu Renjia is a human, quiet, peaceful, and uncontested. Before he makes a move, people doubt whether he possesses terrifying offensive power. He is dressed in white and is otherworldly.

"This is the demeanor that a peerless immortal should possess," Yuan Sheng sighed. His sharp eyes keenly perceived that this person was very strong.

They met remotely, exchanged glances, and reunited, their enthusiasm unchanged.

Xuan Tian asked, "Our cultivation has improved because we recently had a great opportunity to enter and leave the in the Good Fortune Garden, which was truly unforgettable and made us linger. You didn't rely on these things, and although we haven't seen each other for only half a year, you seem even more unfathomable to me. How did you cultivate?"

Half a year? Lu Renjia wanted to say that he hadn't even been born for a day.

He smiled and said, "As you know, I am on the path of Dao-imperialized in the True Immortal Domain. The True Return Fish of the Mysterious Sea has benefited me greatly. After several months of seclusion and arduous cultivation, I have finally gained something."

"Come on, let's go into town. What are you standing here for? We'll treat you to a feast to welcome you back. Fine wine and delicacies are all prepared," Jin Yu said, pulling him along the way.

"And me? "Yuan Sheng was taken aback. They hadn't even been introduced to each other on their first meeting.

Black Crane slapped his forehead, as if he had just remembered, and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is Yuan Sheng from the Long-armed Divine Ape Clan. He heard you were here, so he came all the way to see you."

Black Crane and Xuan Tian guessed that Yuan Sheng had come with a purpose, so they had wanted to keep him waiting until they left.

Wang Xuan nodded, naturally recognizing the monkey. He had brutally beaten a large group of monkeys on Black Peacock Sacred Mountain, and had even used the Karma Fishing Rod to pluck a tuft of monkey hair from the Old Saint Ape's head, as well as snatching a large piece of Purple Mansion Peach flesh from a monkey's mouth.

Yuan Sheng smiled and said, "Brother Lu, although this is our first meeting, I have long admired your great name. We have been friends for a long time, having soared to the heavens in the Mysterious Sea."

Go away, go find someone else to talk to! Wang Xuan actually didn't like him much. This monkey probably came to him today because he wanted to ask him to beat up Kong Xuan.

Wang Xuan responded with a smile, as he couldn't be impolite here, and exchanged a few polite words.

They entered the city and went directly to the "Strange Man's Tower" in the Sky City, a famous restaurant in the city where many strange people had come to taste the special delicacies.

Although the name "Strange Man's Pavilion" is strange, many people like it and think it represents a good vision. Who wouldn't want to become a high-ranking extraordinary person?

The private room was very large, with the feel of a cave dwelling. It was located on the twelfth floor. After opening the window, you could see a purple bamboo forest right in front of you. You could still see someone repairing the hole leading to the Good Fortune Garden in the bamboo forest.

"Such a beautiful view!" Xuan Tian smiled broadly as he stood by the window, beckoning Lu Renjia over to admire the scenery and telling him what had happened.

Beside him, Yuan Sheng grumbled inwardly, "Insider information dog!"

He received the news late and had led his people into the garden, but only managed to reap a small harvest. When they fled, they were trapped inside by some bastard. If he hadn't met the kind-hearted Wei Bo, he would never have gotten out.

Wang Xuan nodded, recalling the past. It seemed... not long ago, only half a day, that he had come out of there. But where did Wu Tian go? He missed him terribly.

Upon closer examination, Wei Bo bears the first blame, Wu Tian is the second, and the disciples of each sect are the third, firmly shielding Wang Xuan from all harm and providing him with a great sense of security.

"Brother, although you're late, it's good that you came at all. There might be some extraordinary people from the True Saint Family at this grand event!" Xuan Tian secretly transmitted his voice, directly informing him that there was still great fortune to come.

He avoided Yuan Sheng, not wanting the whole world to know, especially since the title "True Saint" couldn't be mentioned lightly, as it could easily cause trouble.

Seeing Lu Renjia's calm and ethereal demeanor, Jin Yu secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "You don't think this is a small matter, do you? This is a super big event!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuan asked.

"You know the Black Peacock Clan, right? They had a terrible past, reduced to dancers and songstresses, often given away. But one day, a young man from Five Tribulations Mountain, who had ventured into the mortal world, took a liking to a Black Peacock and brought it back to the mountain. From then on, the clan's fate began to deviate from its original trajectory..."

Ultimately, a Black Peacock rose to prominence, weathering the storms of time to become a powerful superhuman, and joined the Five Tribulations Mountain in a war against another supreme faction.

Black Crane also said, "That era was very chaotic. The Saint Demise Incident occurred, the Five Tribulations Mountain's position was consolidated, Black Peacock Clan was freed from enslavement. It was an epic and magnificent battle. Unfortunately, my status is not high enough to know the details of those old events."

When the group mentioned the True Saint, the Five Tribulations Mountain, and the Saint's Demise, they separated the key words, as if afraid that some unseen being might overhear them.

"Once you're chosen and taken away, you're guaranteed to become an extraordinary person!" Xuan Tian revealed the essence of the matter.

However, Wang Xuan wasn't very interested. He had strong confidence in becoming an extraordinary person, and he didn't want to run under the nose of the True Saint right now.

"Rumor has it that this could be the descent of an extraordinary being, or perhaps the emergence of a noble lady," Black Crane whispered in secret. Their intelligence network was truly remarkable.

Clearly, their faction had received some information from higher-ups; otherwise, a few people wouldn't have been able to access such secrets.

Wang Xuan nodded, indicating that he was listening attentively, but inwardly he was unconvinced and was conducting his own assessment.

If he were to appear as the Five Elements Mountain Second Great King, judging solely by his strength, would he be able to easily smash the so-called noblewoman's head with his Wolf Tooth Club?

If Primordial Body goes to spar, can they successfully suppress a young person of the same level who has come from the secluded world? Can they fight one, two, or more by themselves?

They couldn't bring up the matter of the True Saint Lineage again and again; they were very wary of it, so they simply mentioned it briefly and moved on.

A variety of delicacies were served, with a specialist introducing them: exotic birds that nest in the clouds, seven-colored divine fish raised in extraordinary rainbows, and the Heavenly Dragon Leg cured in the last century...

Some of the food was really good, but some of the meat from across eras—was it top-grade zombie meat? Wang Xuan didn't really want to touch it.

At the dinner table, Yuan Sheng repeatedly praised Lu Renjia for his ethereal and Clear and Transcendent, possessing a true Immortal Dao aura. Then, as expected, he mentioned Kong Xuan.

Of course, he didn't change the subject abruptly, but rather naturally brought it up from the battle at the Bronze Giant Palace.

"To be honest, this Kong Xuan has no air of immortality whatsoever. He's more like a vicious bandit, Great King, a tyrant, or a villain!" That was Yuan Sheng's assessment.

"Damn it!" Wang Xuan glanced at him, wanting to stick his finger up his nose. "How can you curse me like that in front of me?"

"In my eyes, Brother Lu is even stronger than Kong Xuan!" Yuan Sheng said.

Wang Xuan humbly replied, "I don't have any achievements to speak of, so please don't say things like that in the future."

In fact, after Lu Renjia entered the city, he attracted a lot of attention, and many people were discussing him, with some questioning his abilities.

"Is Lu Renjia really that powerful? How can anyone compare him to Kong Xuan? They're overthinking it. I'm not saying this to be mean, but either Kong Xuan or Nie Qing could easily kill him if they stepped forward."

Someone retorted, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Do you know who Lu Renjia fought to rise to prominence in the Mysterious Sea? It Zhuo Yanran, a renowned expert among the Heavenly Realm. Her name was recorded in Golden Book and Jade Scroll, but that was something she experienced many years ago. Yet, she was still beaten to tears by Lu Renjia."

"It is said that Lu Renjia has the power of 20 Azure Crows. By the way, this latest unit of measurement started from his battle in the Mysterious Sea."

In the distance, two best friends were taking a walk. When An Jingqi heard people talking about it in the city, she immediately smiled and her lips curled up. Zhuo Yanran, on the other hand, wanted to rush over and hit them.

Someone spoke up, "What you're saying is all ancient history. The latest news is that Zhou Xuan in white has successfully defeated the True Immortals of the Three Realms. If he can break through the other two realms, he will be an invincible True Immortal on par with Nie Qing!"

"Zhou Xuan is that powerful? But what does that have to do with Lu Renjia?"

"Lu Wufa and Zhou Xuan fought to a draw in the Mysterious Sea, but Lu Wufa treated Lu Renjia with the respect due to a half-master."

"What?! That means if Zhou Xuan can defeat the Five Realms True Immortals, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Nie Qing and meet Lu Renjia, but..."

In Sky City, many people are talking about Lu Renjia. Although they had heard of him before, they didn't know much about him. Now that the news has spread, people have discovered that he is indeed a terrifying True Immortal, ridiculously powerful.

Not long after, someone came uninvited to the private room and brought a jar of thousand-year-old wine. The moment the jar was opened, a rich aroma wafted out and could be smelled throughout the entire floor. Supernatural Light flowed into clouds, creating a delightful scene.

This is fine wine sent by people from the Bronze Giant Palace. It's the same old acquaintance, the gray-clad man Gu Ming. He was the one who dragged Wang Xuan to the Bronze Arena to duel with the Candle Dragon Clan. Now he's come to warmly greet Lu Renjia again, but he didn't meet expectations and was politely refused.

Wang Xuan said, "I have no interest in fighting. If I had a choice in this life, I would not want to fight anyone, nor would I want to see the blood of the extraordinary splattered."

Undeterred, Gu Ming tentatively asked, "Brother Lu, what are you interested in?"

"I am most interested in studying the Imperial Daoized texture," Wang Xuan said.

Gu Ming looked at him again and again, showing no interest in the battle but being very enthusiastic about how to improve his combat power.

He suspected that this might be an attempt to extort an appearance fee, but the fact that it was always Imperial Dao Level texture was too high-end, and he found it hard to resist such an outrageous demand.

Gu Ming felt that he couldn't handle it and had to go to the manager of the Bronze Giant Palace to ask him to step in.

"Brother Kong, a very famous Supernatural Practitioner has arrived in the city. Many people compare him to you. Would you like to go and see him?" Yao Xiaoxi, the most beautiful Demon Immortals in Sky City, asked Kong Xuan beside her.

Wang Xuan shook his head, showing no interest. "Why don't I go see him myself? For now, let's maintain the balance and avoid having any of us meet."

"I don't believe there's a demon more ferocious than Brother Kong. I'll go and see for myself later!" Xiong Shan said.

Fortune Casino has always wanted to find a suitable Supernatural Practitioner for a grand showdown, creating a super-sized Betting Market. This requires a large enough influence and popularity to attract everyone to participate and place bets.

Someone from Fortune Casino went to see Lu Renjia, but not directly. They brought him a bottle of good wine, chatted for a few minutes, and then left. It was a special evaluator who went back and told the people at the gambling house that Lu Renjia could fight Kong Xuan!

"It's just a meal, why is it so noisy? Why are there always people coming?" Jin Yu complained.

Someone from the Candle Dragon Clan even contacted them, wanting to come over, but Jin Yu refused. Can't they even let a person have a proper drink?

Wang Xuan wanted to make contact with the Candle Dragon Clan to see if they were truly capable of handling such matters. He suggested that they offer some Good Fortune Strange Items and let Zhulong fight them on their own.

Not long after, An Jingqi insisted on dragging the reluctant Zhuo Yanran into this private room.

Xuan Tian, Black Crane, Jin Yu immediately greeted them warmly, rearranged the seats, and even served new dishes that hadn't been touched yet.

Wang Xuan greeted her with a smile, saying, "Fairy Zhuo, I never expected to meet you here. The scene of us drinking together when we parted that night under the bright stars is still vivid in my mind."

An Jingqi immediately smiled and said, "If you can talk, then talk more. For example, the wine was delicious that night, and the person was even more beautiful. I miss it so much!"

"An Jingqi, shut up." Zhuo Yanran poured a glass of wine down her throat.

The two came and went quickly, mainly because An Jingqi insisted on coming to see them.

Over the next two days, people from the Bronze Giant Palace, the Fortune Casino, and other factions, such as Yuan Sheng, Zhu Hong of the Candle Dragon Clan, Yuan Hong of the Fusion with Dao Sect, and Gu Cheng of the Golden Palace, all tried to contact Lu Renjia.

Wang Xuan looked surprised. He really didn't expect that he would be so popular after changing his identity. Even his former enemies, Yuan Hong and the Candle Dragon Clan, extended goodwill and wanted to invite him to a small gathering.

Currently, he is quite popular in Sky City and has no rivals.

Time flies, and the day of the grand event officially begins has arrived. A magnificent bell rings out from beyond the sky, and the whole world seems to be purified and at peace. Countless rays of light rain down, and endless crystal petals fall from the sky.

On the last day of June, I'm asking for your support with monthly votes. Thank you.
