Chapter 622: Spatial Tremors

The six possessed monsters continued to fight against everyone, being repelled time and again before charging back—clearly determined to fight to the death.
Yet, truly killing them was almost impossible. After all, they were real immortals. With the current level of attacks, it was impossible to kill them; at least ten immortals of the same rank, wielding powers beyond ordinary limits, would be needed to succeed.
The problem was that no one wanted to do that!
Even if they managed to kill the opponents, they would face punishment from the laws of heaven and earth and lose this opportunity as well. Losing this chance would only benefit the remaining ones. Who would do such a foolish thing of sacrificing themselves for others?
Thus, the situation remained stuck, with everyone hoping that the six possessed ones would gradually regain their senses, return to sanity, and withdraw on their own.
“Can they recover their senses?” Su Che asked through telepathy.
“Probably,” Ripple replied. “After all, they’re still immortals. Their possession isn’t deep; there’s still a trace of sanity left. Otherwise, they would have lost control completely and revealed their true strength. In fact, it’s because they’ve lost a truly precious opportunity that they’re resentful and using these demons to vent their anger.”
“Do they still need to vent?”
Still suffering from the curse of weakness, Su Che’s expression changed dramatically, but his tone remained calm. “They’re all old guys who’ve lived for millions of years. What setbacks haven’t they experienced? Can such a small matter make them give up?”
“You’re speaking easily—aren’t you…?” Ripple asked with a slightly strange look, smiling. “Or do you really not care much about this opportunity in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?”
“It would be great if I did, but if not, I still have to live, right?” Su Che’s reply was utterly indifferent.
“It seems you truly don’t realize how significant this opportunity in the Immortal-Demon Battlefield is for a low-level immortal,” Ripple said, nodding. “And you also haven’t truly understood what your own future holds.”
A faint smile appeared on Su Che’s grayish face—a terrifying one. Of course, his intention was a slight sense of relief, showing indifference to all this, but his deathly pale appearance twisted its meaning.
Ripple, however, understood the indifference he wanted to express and asked, “So indifferent? You’re not pretending, are you?”

“I don’t want to burden myself any further,” Su Che admitted. “It’s enough for me to be able to continue my cultivation path in peace.”
Su Che’s words sounded as if he had no great ambitions, but in truth, only he knew that on the contrary, his aspirations and ambitions were greater than anyone else’s, far beyond their imagination.
With the Immortal Prison around, he was confident that his ideals would eventually be realized. Therefore, he preferred to follow his own path rather than being forced by fate as it was now.
Fate, to Su Che, carried a sense of coercion. There were things he didn’t want to do but still had to, which was truly annoying.
“I kind of can’t understand you anymore.”
Lianyi shook her head slowly, unable to figure out what Su Che was thinking.
Su Che remained silent, but Lao He grumbled in the Immortal Prison, “My master is the creator of an entire universe—how could someone like you understand him?”
Ha!
Su Che smiled inwardly, thinking Lao He’s words were too arrogant.
But since we have the means, it’s only right to be a bit more arrogant!
Boom!
Suddenly, a strange sense of vibration appeared in the void, causing Juechen, Lianyi, Yun Shan Gongzi, and the others to change expressions drastically.
They had thought they could keep delaying things until those six possessed monsters woke up, then use tactics to make them back down and give up, so they wouldn’t take any unnecessary actions.
But this sudden shock made these unfortunate immortals stranded in the mortal world look anxious.
Yes, although Su Che didn’t know what was happening, he could tell that fear was evident on their faces to some extent.
“What could make so many immortals feel fear? Could it be that heaven is about to send down punishment?”
Curious, Su Che looked around carefully, but for now, he saw nothing unusual. The vast universe and stars still looked exactly as before.
“What happened?”
Su Che could only send a message to Lianyi for help.
Boom!
With that question, another wave of vibration was felt. This time, Su Che could tell it was a spatial disturbance, though he hadn’t yet identified its source.
“Immortals descending to the mortal world!”

Lianyi frowned deeply and replied solemnly, “True immortals descending to the mortal world are those permitted by the laws of heaven and earth, not smugglers like us.”
“Oh?”
Su Che also frowned. “Could it be that the sealing array of that spatial passage was damaged, and those in charge of the immortal realm finally discovered it?”
He asked this because after the sealing array in the Thunder God Temple was destroyed by those old monsters, the Origin Magic Energy that leaked out was absorbed by Su Che and the others, without spreading. But just now, due to those six possessed monsters, everyone had no choice but to leave Thunder Star and enter space to fight them, leaving the spatial passage unattended.
Su Che wondered if the massive leakage of magic energy might have been detected by the observers in the immortal realm.
“It’s possible!” Lianyi murmured gravely. “It’s possible…”
“If that’s really the case…” At that moment, Su Che’s face turned as pale as snow, yet a faint smile appeared on his lips, carrying an evil undertone. “It proves that those in the immortal realm are still quite competent.”
“Are you taking pleasure in others’ misfortune?” Lianyi glared at him angrily. “If that’s true, you’ll suffer too. None of us will come out unscathed!”
The immortals in charge of overseeing the Origin Magic Domain spatial passages were all extremely powerful. Moreover, since they descended for official duties, they could use their full strength without fear of being punished by the laws of heaven and earth.
In contrast, people like Lianyi were illegal smugglers. Against such legitimate immortals, whether they resisted or not, their fate would surely be grim…
“No wonder everyone looks so terrified. So it turns out these are thieves encountering soldiers!” Lao He sneered in the Immortal Prison. He was the one truly taking pleasure in others’ misfortune.
“What’s there to fear?” Su Che remained silent, but inwardly he said to Lao He, “I’m an honest mortal who hasn’t violated any heavenly laws. Even if immortal soldiers descend, they have no reason to arrest me!”
Boom!
Another spatial disturbance was clearly heard, as if to refute Su Che’s words.
“That’s not necessarily the case,” Lao He warned sneakily. “Don’t forget, you still bear the grave crime of causing the Witch God to return early, which led to the disappearance of the Spirit Realm. Some in the immortal realm might just want to capture you!”
“Go to hell!”

Su Che was far from convinced and retorted in his heart, “If they really wanted to capture me, someone would have already come down to seize me. Why would they let me stay at large for so long?”
“Maybe they just couldn’t find the right opportunity to catch you. So this time, seizing you while the chance arises does make sense,” Lao He said mischievously.
“It doesn’t matter!”
Su Che racked his brains and continued to argue, “I have the Witch God’s Token with me. If I’m captured and taken to the Immortal Realm, I can use it to ask the Witch God for help. After being rescued, I can stay in the Immortal Realm forever, and my cultivation speed can increase a hundredfold…”
“Yes,” Lao He scratched his head and mused, “That does sound not bad.”
Their conversation might seem like a joke, but it was actually a serious discussion of strategies—by no means nonsense.
As the saying goes, one person’s plan is short-sighted, but two people’s plan is long-sighted. When faced with a problem, Su Che was used to discussing it with Lao He in his mind, even arguing, which was certainly more thorough and clearer than thinking alone.
After figuring this out, Su Che’s mental state became even more stable. Although his expression was hundreds of times worse than that of Lian Yi and the others, it was due to the curse of weakness…
Boom! Boom! Boom…
There were nine consecutive spatial tremors, each one clearer and more intense than the last. Not only Lian Yi and Jue Chen, but even those six possessed demons had already gone quiet.
The deterrence of immortal soldiers descending to the mortal world was by no means a joke for these “wandering immortal thieves.” The consequences were truly unpredictable.
Su Che knew that the “heavenly soldiers” from the upper world were about to appear, so he curiously asked, “Why aren’t you running?”
“We can’t escape.”
Lian Yi shook her head gently. “The people from the lower world are at least at the Xuanxian realm… while the highest we are is Tianxian. We can’t escape. Besides, the people from the lower world might not really try to capture us. They might just ignore us. If we try to flee silently right away, it might anger them.”
“They?”
Su Che murmured, “It seems it’s not just one person.”
“Three people!” Lian Yi said with certainty. “Nine spatial tremors mean that the laws of the universe allow three people to descend to the lower world. This is basic knowledge in the Immortal Realm.”
“I see,” Su Che nodded lightly.
What Lian Yi had just mentioned about the difference between the Xuanxian and Tianxian realms referred to the hierarchical divisions in the Immortal Realm, similar to the difference between the Golden Core stage and the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world.

Su Che had long known that the hierarchy in the Immortal Realm, from lowest to highest, was: Human Immortal (a newly ascended immortal) — Earth Immortal — Heaven Immortal — Mysterious Immortal — Golden Immortal — Great Luo Golden Immortal — Immortal Emperor — Immortal Lord. A peak existence like the Witch God was undoubtedly one of the top figures in the Immortal Realm, one of the few Immortal Lords.
