This Immortal, I'd Rather Not Be One, Farewell!
Boundless Immortal Realm.
Within the glittering golden Immortal Crystal vein, various explosions rang out incessantly.
The Immortal Crystal veins are too hard.
Mining is extremely difficult. Of the more than two hundred newly ascended immortals, only a handful can mine a thousand Immortal Crystal a day.
Therefore, they had no choice but to continue digging overnight.
"Young man, are you crazy? Don't dig so fast! Once you get used to it, you'll likely have to increase the workload!"
"Everyone, let's slow down and get the task almost done. You're making things difficult for everyone!"
A middle-aged man with a square face said to Xu Yang in a somewhat irritable tone.
Is this kid really going to push himself so hard?
You can't use what you dig up yourself; you have to hand it all over. Hiding even a single piece is a capital offense!
His words attracted the attention of the other immortals.
They all immediately looked at Xu Yang with dissatisfaction; they had wanted to say these words for a long time.
Why curl it like that?
They used this method frequently when they were in the lower realms, but back then they were the exploiters; now they are the exploited.
Xu Yang's eyes darted around as he explained, "I'm not digging so many for myself; many people definitely won't be able to reach a thousand later."
"When the time comes, if I have any left over, I'll share some with them."
Fearing that no one would believe him, Xu Yang added, "There's no need to thank me. I'm doing this for myself. If too many people fail to complete the mission, and Tiger General blames me, I'm afraid I'll be implicated!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been skeptical just moments before, immediately believed it.
It's normal for Xu Yang to have such concerns.
The square-faced middle-aged man said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I almost misunderstood you."
Another immortal, who appeared to be an old man, also said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you have farsightedness and a high level of understanding! I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
Xu Yang smiled slightly, and to prove that what he said was true, he took the initiative to give the extra Immortal Crystal to several people who clearly did not have enough.
This action immediately earned everyone's trust.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, we're all mining here now, living a life worse than death. True friendship is revealed in times of hardship!"
"Yes! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xu to be so righteous!"
"It's a pity I didn't meet you sooner. If we were in the mortal realm, I would definitely bring you to my mansion for a treat!"
"I truly regret ascending to this bird paradise!"
"That scoundrel Shen Baixiu had better not fall into my hands. My Myriad Souls Banner is no joke."
The people, who were not usually talkative, suddenly started chatting.
They started talking, one after the other.
A sly glint flashed in Xu Yang's eyes, followed by a regretful sigh, "What a pity, all the treasures I've cherished throughout my life are hidden on Nine Coils Mountain in the Jade Balance Immortal Mansion, leaving no descendants..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately joined in the conversation.
After all, who among them wasn't an old monster who had roamed the various Immortal Mansion for tens of thousands of years?
They all have plenty of backup plans.
Even those who Tribulation Transcendence and become immortals will not ascend without any reservations.
Almost everyone has a little secret that no one else knows.
"Brother Xu, hearing you say that makes me angry too! I still have so many top-grade spirit stones left unused, all stored away..."
"Me too! Those are materials I've been collecting for thousands of years to forge a magical artifact. I was even planning to use them to forge a celestial weapon after I became an immortal."
"To be honest, I stumbled upon an ancient secret realm by chance. There were many rare and precious medicinal herbs there, and it was thanks to this secret realm that my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds!"
"Alas! I can't bear to leave my dozens of Daoist companions. I promised to go back to see them after I became an immortal... but now look at me like this."
"Who could have more regrets than me? All my life's treasures, which I never even had a chance to enjoy, are now stored in the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, right here..."
Everyone spoke frankly and without reservation.
Anyway, these things are meaningless to them now.
Mining here, who knows how long it would take.
Still want to leave Wonderland?
Tiger General said that was impossible; as long as they had a breath left, this would be their home.
If something goes wrong, the soul will be consumed, and that will be its final fate.
They all knew that Tiger General was absolutely not lying, and there was no need for him to deceive them any further.
After Xu Yang started the conversation, he listened quietly and secretly wrote down the addresses one by one.
"Fine!"
"At least we can make up for some of the losses..."
He thought to himself silently, his heart filled with helplessness.
Another hour passed.
Those celestial soldiers clad in armor arrived; it was time to hand over the Immortal Crystal.
The leading celestial soldier swept his gaze coldly around the group and said in a deep voice, "Alright, now hand over all the Immortal Crystal you've mined today. If even one person doesn't have enough, then everyone keep digging!"
"Keep digging until you've dug enough!"
The crowd, which had quieted down, became noisy again, and anger appeared on everyone's faces.
But no one dared to utter a sound.
Xu Yang hid behind the crowd, having already processed the Immortal Crystal he had dug up that day.
He put them all into a small mirror hanging around his neck.
"These are all things I dug up with great effort. Giving them to you? You're dreaming!"
Now, he has achieved his goal of ascending to the immortal realm.
There's no need to wait any longer.
"Hehe!"
In the ensuing silence, Xu Yang suddenly let out a cold laugh, stepped forward, and said coldly, "Hand it over to you? Who do you think you are?"
"You have no right to speak to me! Summon your master to see me!"
Laugh--
Everyone was startled upon hearing this, and all eyes immediately turned to Xu Yang.
Even more astonished.
Everyone's impression of Xu Yang was that he was cunning, low-key, and kind; in today's terms, he was a bit of a sly old man.
"What's wrong with this kid? Did he suddenly take the wrong medicine?"
"Why is he standing up like this now, and acting so arrogantly? What exactly does he want?"
"If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
"Are you crazy?"
"Yes, but what he's saying now is exactly what I've been thinking. I just don't know what the outcome will be."
Everyone stared at Xu Yang, shocked but also filled with intense curiosity.
Those celestial soldiers clad in armor were also incredible.
Immediately, their eyes turned fierce, and they revealed ferocious smiles.
"Looks like you never learn your lesson..."
However, the next moment, everyone was surprised again, as Xu Yang calmly took out a talisman.
These celestial soldiers would certainly not take ordinary talismans seriously.
"A magic talisman!"
"You... you're just a newly ascended mortal cultivator, how could you possess a celestial talisman? And a Thunder Explosion Celestial Talisman at that!"
"What do you think you're doing? Are you out of your mind?!"
The leading celestial soldier, encountering this situation for the first time, shouted with a serious expression.
The talisman in the person before them was enough to make them treat it with caution.
Xu Yang remained unmoved. His heart was bleeding; heaven knows the price he had paid to obtain these immortal talismans.
But now it has to be used.
Xu Yang took a deep breath and laughed, "You're right, I'm reckless!"
"I'd rather not be an immortal! Farewell!"
Without hesitation, he activated the talisman in his hand.
The next moment, a blinding light erupted, illuminating half of the sky in the fairyland.
Lightning flashed across the sky.
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion rang out.
