Chapter 0031: The Difference Between Immortals and Gods
The Group of Immortals Pavilion hovered in mid-air within a small courtyard, surrounded by a glowing halo that shone brightly under the sunlight.
After summoning the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long thought of it, and the Five Hells Divine Cauldron on his finger flew out, returning to its original form before sucking in the one-meter-tall fragrant stone meteorite on the ground.
Under Huang Long’s innate true fire, the fragrant stone meteorite gradually turned into a stream of light. Then, it flowed out from the mouth of the Five Hells Divine Cauldron, transforming into a beam of light that merged into the Group of Immortals Pavilion in mid-air.
As the fragrant stone meteorite merged in, the Group of Immortals Pavilion in the air finally changed. A humming sound arose, and the glowing halo on its surface fluctuated. Its originally dark golden surface now had a layer of pale silver light.
When creating the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long had used an ordinary, nameless mountain. Although it had been refined by his innate true fire in the Five Hells Divine Cauldron, shedding its mundane nature, this fact could not be changed. Now, with the integration of this fragrant stone meteorite, it could be said that the essence of the Pavilion had begun to transform.
Huang Long could sense that the internal structure of the Pavilion had become more intricate and solid.
The fragrant stone meteorite was so hard that even a ninth-level powerhouse could not leave a mark on it, so one could imagine just how hard the Group of Immortals Pavilion had become after integrating it.
Hum, hum, hum!
After integrating the fragrant stone meteorite, the Group of Immortals Pavilion continued to change.
Once fully integrated with the meteorite, a dazzling light radiated from the Pavilion, which then contracted sharply before finally stabilizing in mid-air. The characters “Group of Immortals” on its base were surrounded by an invisible airflow, generating pressure that drove away the surrounding spatial currents.
At this moment, the Group of Immortals Pavilion had evolved from a top-tier treasure to a supreme treasure!
Borg, who had initially doubted it and thought it was an illusion, now stared blankly, muttering, “It’s not an illusion… It really isn’t!”
The task was complete!
Seeing the successful evolution of the Group of Immortals Pavilion, Huang Long felt a sense of joy.
Although a supreme treasure wasn’t anything extraordinary, times had changed. He didn’t know when he would be able to summon the Sword of Cutting Immortals or the Chaos Bell with his mind. With this Group of Immortals Pavilion, it would greatly enhance Huang Long’s strength.
In terms of his own strength, Huang Long was at the peak of the seventh level. But with the help of the Group of Immortals Pavilion, he could easily defeat eighth-level powerhouses.
With a thought from Huang Long, the Group of Immortals Pavilion turned into a beam of golden light and entered his ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, causing Borg’s already weak heart to pound even more violently.
Previously, Borg had felt more awe than admiration for this mysterious young master, Huang Long. Now, he almost regarded him as a god to be worshipped.
What Earth Goddess! What Sea God, Death God, and Light Lord—all of them can go to hell! Those are all part of ancient myths and legends. But now, Bog has witnessed incredible miracles time and again with his own eyes. With excitement, Bog stared at the Yellow Dragon. In his somewhat cloudy eyes, one star, then two stars, then three stars appeared without him even realizing it. The stars shone brightly. Seeing Bog’s expression, the Yellow Dragon smiled calmly and said, “Don’t envy me. You’ll be able to do it too in the future.” Bog was stunned. Finally, his face lit up with joy. “What! Young master, do you mean I can also become a god?” To him, all of this was a miracle, clearly the work of a god. If the Yellow Dragon said so, did it mean he could become a god too? Hearing this, the Yellow Dragon’s lips curled slightly as he replied calmly, “A god?” He shook his head. Bog was confused and about to speak when the Yellow Dragon said, “It’s about attaining immortality through spiritual cultivation.” During the War of Deification, the saints of the Three Teachings—Human, Chan, and Jie—discussed together the List of Deified Souls, establishing three ranks: those with deep spiritual roots would achieve immortality; those with slightly weaker roots would become gods; and those with the weakest roots would remain humans. Thus, gods were considered lower than immortals. Although he didn’t know the strength of the gods in this world, the Yellow Dragon guessed that the so-called Light Lord of the Light Church was probably only on par with a Great Luo Golden Immortal. “Attain immortality through spiritual cultivation?” Bog was puzzled. He had heard of gods, but what was immortality? From what the young master said, it seemed immortals were stronger than gods? “You’ll find out later,” said the Yellow Dragon. Then he took the confused Bog to the backyard to watch the training progress of the orc slaves. Leaving aside the matter of the Yellow Dragon taking Bog to the backyard, Du Dongnan left the Huang family, mounted his mount, and headed back to theHill family. Sitting on his mount, Du Dongnan sneered inwardly. “Old Bear Huang, let you bask in pride for a while.” But the thought of his nephew Du Jue being carried back by guards with his buttocks as black as charcoal annoyed him. What was going on? Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to think it was an unexplained fire that couldn’t be extinguished no matter how hard they tried. Frowning, he then thought of the Yellow Dragon. He knew about the Yellow Dragon and had paid close attention to him. During the talent tests three months ago, he was a super genius in magic, so much so that even Emperor Oler personally went to the Huang residence to meet the boy. Yet, he simply couldn’t believe that a six-year-old who had just taken the talent test could already use fire magic. So, who exactly was behind this?
Could it be that old guard by his side? He immediately shook his head. That old man had been investigated by theirHill family and turned out to be a worthless person bought by the Huang family from the slave market.
Thinking of this, Du Dongnan suddenly felt extreme heat behind him, which puzzled him. At that moment, the guards following him started screaming, “Second Young Master, there’s something behind you!”
One of the guards had accompanied Du Jue to the auction house. Now, seeing flames erupt behind Du Dongnan just like those around Fourth Young Master Du Jue for no reason, he was filled with shock, his face turning pale.
When Du Dongnan abruptly turned around, he saw a ball of flames emitting red and green light behind him. The flames were small, but they seemed to contain some mysterious power. Despite Du Dongnan’s repeated attempts to extinguish them, they not only didn’t go out but grew stronger.
Du Dongnan roared in fury, unleashing his combat energy, yet the flames clung to him like parasitic worms.
“Who did this?! What’s going on?!” he shouted in anger, his murderous eyes scanning the pedestrians around the street, scaring them into fleeing.
The flames persisted for two full quarters of an hour.
Huang Long was coming out of the backyard when he heard this news. However, to his surprise, along with this news came word the next day that Du Meng, the second daughter of theHill family’s Du Ruosu, was going to marry Long Ji, the eldest prince of the Dragon Language Empire.
The current emperor of the Dragon Language Empire was old, and he would pass the throne to his eldest son, Long Ji, in a few years. Thus, Du Meng would become the empress of the future emperor of the Dragon Language Empire.
It was easy to imagine that with the support of the Dragon Language Empire behind them, the strength and status of theHill family would change drastically.
Was this what theHill family relied on? Hearing this news, Huang Long’s lips curled slightly upward.
