Chapter 142 Party

Chapter 142 The Gathering

Three days later.

Xie Mingyuan brought Zhang Yuhe to the outside of a manor.

Seeing them approach, a tall Cultivator walked out of the manor.

"Xie *Xiong* has finally arrived; we were waiting for you."

Then he turned to Zhang Yuhe and asked.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist's name?"

Xie Mingyuan quickly introduced the two of them.

"This is my Junior Brother Zhang Yuhe; he will be permanently stationed in Jianfang Market from now on."

After speaking, he introduced Zhang Yuhe.

"This is Liu Haitao, Senior Brother Liu of Nine Immortals Sect. If I'm not in the market in the future and you encounter any trouble, you can ask Senior Brother Liu for help."

Liu Haitao quickly said.

"No problem, no problem. Xie *Xiong*'s Junior Brother is my Junior Brother. Feel free to come to me if you need anything."

Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Zhang Yuhe stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said.

"I am Zhang Yuhe, I greet Senior Brother Liu."

"Junior Brother Zhang, there's no need to be so polite. This isn't the place to talk outside. Come on in and chat. Everyone's already waiting."

"Okay."

The three entered the manor in sequence and arrived at a spacious pavilion in the middle of a lake.

Zhang Yuhe looked into the pavilion.

He saw more than ten True Immortal Cultivators already inside, discussing something loudly.

Seeing them approach.

Everyone immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Xie *Xiong*, you're finally here! We haven't seen each other for thousands of years. I heard Xie *Xiong* has made another breakthrough. Congratulations, congratulations."

Xie Mingyuan cupped his hands towards everyone and said.

"Fellow Daoists are too polite. I have only made a slight improvement, nothing worth mentioning."

Zhang Yuhe stood by, quietly listening to everyone's exchange.

It was clear that Xie Mingyuan must be very famous among True Immortal Cultivators, not someone ordinary people could compare to.

Xie Mingyuan pulled Zhang Yuhe over and introduced him to everyone.

"This is my Junior Brother Zhang Yuhe. I'll trouble everyone to look after him from now on."

"No problem, Xie *Xiong* is too polite."

Zhang Yuhe stood by, greeting everyone while silently feeling grateful.

Xie Mingyuan was indeed good to him.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

If no one had guided him, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to integrate into the True Immortal circle in the market.

It wouldn't have been as easy as it was now.

…

Among the more than ten people present, besides the two of them, there were also four Nine Immortals Sect Disciples and three Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Disciples.

The rest were Loose Cultivators from the Jian Sea Area.

In the Immortal Realm, the strength of Loose Cultivators should not be underestimated.

After all, having Cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, many people do not like to be restrained.

There are plenty who Cultivate alone.

After everyone was seated, they continued their loud discussions.

One of the slightly plump young men said with some concern.

"It's been nearly a hundred thousand years since the Chaos Continent experienced a Beast Tide, hasn't it? I estimate the next Beast Tide won't be too far off."

This person's name was Zhu Yulin, a Nine Immortals Sect Disciple.

Hearing Zhu Yulin mention the Chaos Beast Tide, everyone agreed.

"That's right, it will break out in a few hundred years at the shortest, or within ten thousand years at the longest."

"I wonder if the Nangong Immortal Clan will issue a conscription order next time."

"How can we avoid it? Which Beast Tide outbreak hasn't the Nangong Immortal Clan conscripted Cultivators from all sides?"

"The Beast Tide isn't scary. What's scary is the outbreak of the Immortal Fall Great Tribulation. Once the Immortal Fall Great Tribulation erupts, even Taiyi Immortals will fall. We True Immortal Cultivators are, at best, cannon fodder."

"No way."

"Hard to say. It's been nearly eight hundred thousand years since the last Immortal Fall Great Tribulation."

"According to past practice, a Immortal Fall Great Tribulation will erupt on the Chaos Continent approximately every million years. So, the next Immortal Fall Great Tribulation won't be too far off."

When everyone spoke of the Immortal Fall Great Tribulation, they couldn't help but feel a bit dispirited.

Although Immortals had gained a foothold on the Chaos Continent.

In terms of strength, Chaos Beasts were far more powerful than Immortals.

Chaos Beasts were not only numerous, but their defense was astonishing, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Moreover, in terms of high-end combat power, Chaos Beasts were also far stronger than Immortal Cultivators.

Every time a Beast Tide erupted, a large number of Immortal Cities would be breached by Chaos Beasts.

The Cultivators in the cities would then be captured by the Chaos Beasts and taken for sacrifice.

It could be said that their fate was extremely tragic.

As for the Immortal Fall Great Tribulation, there was even less need to mention it.

Every time the Immortal Fall Great Tribulation erupted, a large number of Immortals would fall.

Even Taiyi Immortals could be captured by Chaos Beasts for sacrifice.

The entire Immortal Realm could be said to be a competition between Immortals and Chaos Beasts.

And the battlefield was on the Chaos Continent.

For Immortals.

Every part of a Chaos Beast was a treasure.

Their cores could be used for Artifact Refining, array formations, Alchemy, and so on, serving many purposes.

The fur of Chaos Beasts could be used to refine defensive Immortal Artifacts like battle armor.

Even the tendons and bones of Chaos Beasts could be used to refine some special items.

However, in the eyes of Chaos Beasts, Immortals were also an important resource.

They would capture Immortals for sacrifice to gain more powerful strength.

Chaos Beasts were not ignorant Yao Beasts, but possessed extremely high intelligence. They also had their own civilization and Dao of Cultivation.

The competition between Immortals and Chaos Beasts had always been in a disadvantaged position.

Therefore, whenever a Beast Tide erupted, the Nangong Immortal Clan would conscript a large number of Cultivators from its affiliated forces to fight on the Chaos Continent.

And their Jian Sea Area belonged to the Nangong Immortal Clan's sphere of influence.

Normally, when there was nothing going on, the Nangong Immortal Clan did not require them to pay tribute.

Only when a Beast Tide erupted did they need to contribute.

Facing the conscription of the Nangong Immortal Clan, the major forces generally responded actively.

There was no other way; who made the Nangong Immortal Clan have a Taiyi Immortal overseeing it?

Moreover, each conscription, the Nangong Immortal Clan would offer generous rewards.

They wouldn't make them work for nothing.

Of course, all of this depended on surviving the Beast Tide first.

Speaking of the Chaos Beast Tide, the atmosphere on the scene became a bit somber.

At this moment, a short, middle-aged Cultivator spoke loudly.

"I say, what are you all worrying about?"

"Isn't it good that a Beast Tide erupts? Killing Chaos Beasts not only allows you to collect their cores and corpses, but also to receive generous rewards from the Nangong Immortal Clan."

"I wish such opportunities would come every year."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless.

Liu Haitao said helplessly.

"Fellow Daoist He, we can't compare to you. Your Immortal Body has just been formed, so you have no pressure facing Chaos Beasts below three stars."

"It takes us a great deal of effort to kill a single Chaos Beast, even if it's only a one-star Chaos Beast."

"The key is, if you're not careful, it's very easy to be slapped to death by a Chaos Beast!"

"Exactly, exactly! If I could Cultivate an Immortal Body, I wouldn't put Chaos Beasts in my eyes either."

"Fellow Daoist He's Opportunity is truly enviable; he actually found an Earth Spirit Holy Fruit and successfully Cultivated his Immortal Body in one go."

"Hehe, it's all luck."

Zhang Yuhe listened silently from the side.

This True Immortal Cultivator, named He Xingfa, had actually already Cultivated an Immortal Body.

This made him look at him with new eyes.

One should know that among the more than ten people present, including Xie Mingyuan and Liu Haitao, these two Late Stage True Immortals, had not yet Cultivated an Immortal Body.

The Immortal Body thing was simply too dependent on Opportunity.

Just like He Xingfa.

It was rumored that he found an Earth Spirit Holy Fruit in a certain dangerous place.

And then he successfully Cultivated his Immortal Body in one go.

This was simply unreasonable.

As long as there was Opportunity and one could encounter special Heaven And Earth Treasures, even a pig could evolve an Immortal Body.

If the Opportunity was not enough.

No matter how outstanding your talent, you shouldn't even think about the Immortal Body.

However, Zhang Yuhe heard that in some top major forces, some precious Medicinal Pills could be refined that could also promote Immortal Body Cultivation.

But they shouldn't even think about such things.

Anyway, there were no such good things in the Jian Sea Area.

Even if they existed elsewhere, they couldn't afford them.

Immortal Pills that could promote Immortal Body Cultivation usually required exchange with equivalent treasures.

They could not be bought with Immortal Stones.
