A Promise from a 'True Immortal'

"Greetings, Supreme Emperor. Yu Ziyue pays his respects."

"Greetings, Supreme Emperor. Lu Wuhen pays his respects."

Yu Ziyue and Lu Wuhen soared into the sky with high spirits, but upon personally facing the pressure emanating from a Void Immortal level expert, their expressions shifted, and they immediately bowed to the elder clad in the nine-dragon imperial robe.

This elder, clad in the nine-dragon imperial robe, was the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Feather Dynasty, Yuhua Ji.

"Yu Ziyue?"

Yuhua Ji looked at Yu Ziyue with slight surprise, then nodded. "I have heard of you. A fifth-grade Spirit Array Master. You are indeed talented. However, judging by this situation, are you preparing to fight me on behalf of Lu Wuhen? I advise you to reconsider."

"This junior naturally does not wish to be an enemy of the Supreme Emperor," Yu Ziyue said with a wry smile. "It's just that the Sky Feather Pill has already been consumed."

"What?!" Yuhua Ji exclaimed, his expression startled. "Who did you give it to?"

"My granddaughter," Lu Wuhen said in a gruff voice.

"Damn it!"

Yuhua Ji's face darkened. The Sky Feather Pill did indeed possess the effect of reviving the dead, but it would only be effective if consumed by someone with the Feather Clan bloodline.

Of course, for the pill to revive the dead, there were conditions.

First, the cultivation base could not exceed Nascent Soul. Second, after revival, all cultivation would be lost. Third, the time of death could not exceed three days. Fourth, each person could only take it once in their lifetime, and the success rate was very low, only one percent.

Even so, the Sky Feather Pill held great significance for the Divine Feather Dynasty.

This was because it was a legacy from their ancestors, intended to ensure that if a peerless prodigy of the Yu family died prematurely, they could still be resurrected.

"Hand over your granddaughter, and I will spare your Lu family," Yuhua Ji said calmly to Lu Wuhen.

"Impossible," Lu Wuhen retorted, puffing out his chest. As a Spirit Transmutation cultivator, how could he not know that Yuhua Ji wanted his granddaughter to refine her into a pill?

How could he possibly agree?

"So, you wish for me to act personally?" Yuhua Ji sneered. The pressure of a Void Immortal expert bore down on Lu Wuhen like a mountain.

Lu Wuhen's face instantly turned pale.

"Supreme Emperor, are there any other methods of remedy?" Yu Ziyue inquired.

"No. If you are wise, you will leave obediently. This matter has nothing to do with you," Yuhua Ji said with a cold snort. "I have already given you enough chances. Cherish them."

Yu Ziyue's face turned pale upon hearing this, but he gritted his teeth and said, "If Lu Wuhen hadn't taken a blow for me back then, I would have long since perished."

"Stubborn fool!" Yuhua Ji coldly snorted.

Yu Ziyue and Lu Wuhen suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, a bitter sweetness rising in their throats.

Meanwhile.

In Jiang City, Li Zhōujūn, who was looking up and spectating, also noticed that the Void Immortal from the Divine Feather Dynasty was hostile towards the elder who had given him an umbrella.

[Ding: System has issued a quest. If the host repays the kindness of the umbrella gift, a generous reward can be obtained.]

Hearing the System's announcement.

Li Zhōujūn knew he could no longer just spectate.

He then patted his butt, stepped into the air, and walked with his hands behind his back towards the sky.

Just as the atmosphere in the sky became tense.

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Yuhua Ji, Yu Ziyue, and Lu Wuhen all saw a young man in a blue robe, with a calm expression, appear beside them.

"Mr. Li?" Yu Ziyue's expression was stunned when he saw Li Zhōujūn.

Li Zhōujūn smiled slightly. "It seems Elder Yu is in trouble. Coincidentally, I can repay your kindness of the umbrella gift."

Li Zhōujūn had heard the conversation of the people above word for word, so he naturally knew Yu Ziyue's name.

"Who is this?" Lu Wuhen asked, looking at the suddenly appearing Li Zhōujūn with a confused gaze towards Yu Ziyue.

"A gentleman with exceptional array skills," Yu Ziyue said with a light laugh, his expression relaxed. "We are saved."

However, Yu Ziyue inwardly smiled wryly. In terms of who gave Li Zhōujūn the umbrella, it was his disciple, and he himself had benefited from it.

"Fellow Daoist, it would be best not to interfere in this matter. After all, Lu Wuhen was the one who stole the Sky Feather Pill from my Divine Feather Dynasty first," Yuhua Ji said to the suddenly appearing Li Zhōujūn, his expression losing some of its arrogance and gaining a hint of respect.

This was because he could not see through the young man.

Li Zhōujūn smiled. "I read in the Qingzhou Records that the Sky Feather Pill can bring the dead back to life?"

"Indeed, but it can only revive those with my Feather Clan bloodline," Yuhua Ji said. "Fellow Daoist, it is best not to interfere. Lu Wuhen dared to steal my Divine Feather Dynasty's pill, so naturally, I will not let him off. Since Yu Ziyue stands with him, I cannot let him go either."

As he spoke the latter part, Yuhua Ji's voice became extremely cold.

"I, Li, also do not wish to interfere, but Elder Yu has shown me the kindness of an umbrella. How about this: I will give you a promise. When your Divine Feather Dynasty is on the verge of destruction, I will make one move. How about that?" Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

Lu Wuhen, who was Yu Ziyue's friend, was in the wrong first. The Supreme Emperor of the Divine Feather Dynasty came to demand an explanation, so Li Zhōujūn couldn't just beat him up, could he? If he did, what would be the difference between him and an unreasonable evil cultivator?

"When my Divine Feather Dynasty is destroyed, you will make one move?" Yuhua Ji chuckled upon hearing this, then coldly sneered, "Fellow Daoist, do not speak such big words. I fear that before my Divine Feather Dynasty is destroyed, you yourself will have perished?"

"Don't be ungrateful," Li Zhōujūn narrowed his eyes slightly, a slight upward curve on his lips.

At the same time, the entire world's wind and clouds changed, and thunder roared in the sky, like a scene of world destruction.

"A True Immortal?!"

Yuhua Ji, Yu Ziyue, and Lu Wuhen's eyes widened instantly.

Legend had it that when a True Immortal raged, the heavens and earth would change color. Today, it was happening before their very eyes.

Feeling the pressure emanating from Li Zhōujūn, Yuhua Ji felt like a tiny boat adrift in a colossal wave. If the wave willed it, he would perish without a burial place.

"This old man is willing to give up the Sky Feather Pill. I implore the Esteemed Immortal to forgive me. This old man was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. I hope the Esteemed Immortal will forgive me for offending you!"

Once Yuhua Ji came to his senses, he bowed deeply to Li Zhōujūn, saying with great trepidation, unable to even speak coherently.

Although both Void Immortals and True Immortals bore the title of "Immortal," in reality, Void Immortals were merely cultivators on the path to seeking the Dao, essentially still mortals.

True Immortals, however, were genuine immortals who had undergone the lightning tribulation and attained the Mahayana stage. Even a hundred, no, ten thousand Void Immortals wouldn't be enough to withstand a single fart from a True Immortal.

"Do you think my one action could be worth that Sky Feather Pill?" Li Zhōujūn asked with a smile, retracting his True Immortal aura.

"Of course! Of course!"

Yuhua Ji quickly replied. It was a joke; exchanging one Sky Feather Pill for a True Immortal's assistance to the Divine Feather Dynasty was like stumbling upon an immense stroke of luck, a massive profit!

Let alone one Sky Feather Pill, even ten wouldn't be worth a single action from a True Immortal! After all, while the Sky Feather Pill could indeed revive members of the Feather Clan from the dead, it came with various conditions and only had a one percent success rate.
