Chen Mu had not taken a liking to the woman in green, let alone completely lowered his guard, merely because of the little bit of cheap goodwill she had shown.
Ultimately, her goodwill stemmed solely from her uncertainty about his strength.
Once she had sounded out his depths, the woman in green might not treat him any better than the young man beside her, who gripped his sword hilt, ready to draw at any moment.
Afterward, Chen Mu learned through the system panel that the woman in green was named Li Yao, while the sword-bearing young man was named Li Wushuang.
Notably, the race field for both of them read [Immortal].

Upon further investigation, Chen Mu learned that cultivation in the Immortal Realm was divided, from lowest to highest, into mortal immortal, earth immortal, heavenly immortal, true immortal, profound immortal, high immortal, golden immortal, and divine immortal.
