Mortal Realm...

All corners of the land of humans, especially the places where house cultivators felt the ripples in the wind when someone from the Heavenly Realm had descended. There are different kinds of reactions from all the big sects on the human plane.

Everyone who cultivates felt the ripples of qi in the air and saw a flash of red golden light crossing the black sky. These were the phoenix who escorted the youngest king of the Immortal Realm down to the mortal realm.

In the Imperial Palace of the Hong Empire.

The current emperor was enjoying a night drink with the most trusted minister and sworn brother while playing ancient chess. Both men were in their middle ages. They were at least in their forties in reality but thanks to their strong cultivations they only look most in their late twenties.

The Emperor wore his usual golden robes and cup. Opposite of him is a man in the white robe of a scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses on his face holding a white stone about to place it on the board in between them.

Emperor Hong looked up in the sky and said, “Hm? A red golden light fell from heaven to earth. Erdi, (Second brother) have you seen it as well?”

*No cheating, dage! I won’t play with you anymore,” said the Minister.

The Emperor responded, “Erdi (Second Younger brother), I am not joking. Look at it yourself!”

The minister looked at his sworn brother with distrust before following his finger pointed towards the sky. He had also witnessed a red gold light creating a line in the middle of the night. He stood up in surprise as he felt the changes in the qi of the world.

“T-This is!!? Impossible! Why do I feel the aura of a powerful beast and fire elements,” exclaimed the Minister.

Emperor Hong said, “Maybe a powerful person from the Upper Realm had descended?”

This suggestion made the two look at each other and their eyes widened at such a possibility. Thinking of this situation, they both flew up to the sky using their Peak Golden Core Cultivation. As of now the only strongest cultivator on the mainland is from Lan Zhuayun Sect (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect). Their Grand Elder possesses the title ‘Chun Hongyun’ which means Pure Red Cloud. It was said he possessed the strength of a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

Meanwhile at the Lan Zhuayun Sect (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect).

Within the mountain range where the Sect is located, A man with long black hair and crimson irises was wearing a pure white robe with cloud patterns at the edges. He is currently seated on his patio and in front of him is a black zither he is plucking with his long fingers.

The beautiful sound of a guqin suddenly halted as his almond-shaped down-casted eyes looked above him. A streak of red gold light fell down from the sky forming a thin line of red-gold in the black sky.

A hoarse yet indifferent voice mumbled, “Six sets of Divine Phoenixes pulling a sedan. An Immortal from the Upper Realm, only the Cao Clan’s Immortal Empress Carriage can use such luxury. Why would the esteemed Goddess of the Royal Immortal Clan be here? Is it the Devil Race again?” He mumbled.

At the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect)

Their palace is made of gold showing their abundant wealth. As of now the one who sat at the highest seat of this Sect is Jin Baihua. He is at least someone with Golden Core Cultivation and with the Bloodline of the Jin Clan. As of now, his palace is surrounded by yellow peonies matching the golden pillars and walls of his house. He is now seated at a table full of scrolls which are supposed to be his paper works for that day. Busy writing on those scrolls with brush and ink, someone suddenly ran over to report.

The man was wearing the same golden-colored robe but with a bit duller shade.

“Sect Master. This one has something to report!”

Jin Baihua put down the scroll and brush in his hand and asked with a gentle smile,

“What is it? You may speak.”

“Yes. Someone from the guard towers said that. They saw a luxurious carriage descending from the heavens above. It was pulled by six large divine phoenixes. They say it must be someone from the Upper Realm!”

“Upper Realm!? Tell everyone near the place to disperse! Don’t approach being with tactless manners!” ordered Jin Baihua.

Then he asked, “Anything else?”

“They’ve also seen His Majesty the Emperor of Hong Dynasty and his minister about to approach that place where the carriage had landed.”

Jin Baihua said, “Are those old men crazy? That’s an immortal! That isn’t someone just anyone can curry goodwill with!”

“Tell the people at the tower. I give them temporary power to be my representative. Tell them to stop those two old men. Use my name if possible. Stop everyone approaching! No one is allowed to show themselves to whoever is inside that carriage.” commanded Jin Baihua.

The Jin Tiangui Sect disciple saluted and issued his emergency order to every tower near the landing area of the mysterious carriage.

On the other hand, the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect had no reaction. They are an exclusive sect after all and rarely had any interactions with people outside their sect. The Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect), on the other hand, had no strong leader. The eldest son of the Lu Clan had died from Qi Deviation and the youngest son was a weak and cowardly cultivator who had no power to lead. But none of the elders tried to steal his position, this is because this youngest son had brotherly relationships with the Sect leaders of both the Lan Zhuayun Sect (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) and Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect).

At the unknown and desolated land in the mortal realm...

Invisible to the eyes of ordinary humans, Hei Anjing’s luxurious cart flew down into the human land. The shrieks of the six phoenix echo under the carpet of the black sky and only cultivators had noticed those inhuman cries coming from the heavens. Hei Anjing’s body felt extremely heavy at the moment.

When the sedan slowly descended from the gates of the Upper Realm, Dao chains appeared on his neck, two wrists, and ankles. Then slowly he could feel his newly increased strength at the Heavenly Saint stage were forcefully sealed and degraded to just Peak Soul Transformation Stage.

Hei Anjing is currently feeling that her body is as heavy as lead and her breathing is a bit suffocated. Only after taking a few deep breaths that Hei Anjing was able to regulate his breathing to normal.

Hah~

“The qi in this realm is too sparse. It’s hard to believe that someone from this place is able to ascend as God. Dad is very talented after being born in such a poor place,” murmured Hei Anjing.

Once he felt used to his new heavy body, he languidly prepared to go down the carriage. But even before he could lift the curtains of the ancient carriage a few phoenixes materialized in their human form and escorted him down respectfully.

Like a servant, none of the Phoenixes had raised their head to openly look at Hei Anjing. Even the hand that would help Hei Anjing down is covered with a thick handkerchief made of silk.

“His Highness, King Wuan. We had arrived at the Mortal Lands! Please~”

Hei Anjing lightly placed his hand on the top of the silk cloth and went down the carriage. He is still wearing a luxurious black robe made of unknown materials. The white snowflakes flicker under the light as if it was real. A crimson folding fan covers half of Hei Anjing’s face revealing only his pair of argent irises and phoenix-shaped eyes.

His phoenix-shaped eyes and silver irises glanced around him languidly as if he knew that there were people looking at him from a distance. His handsome and otherworldly beauty paired with his cold demeanor made him look unapproachable yet captivating. None of them is able to move their eyes on him.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground the earthly floor was suddenly full of life. The mud was replaced with a lawned of soft grass. The flower trees started blooming one by one, opening their flowers showing their most beautiful state in front of Hei Anjing. Those who had witnessed this scene were mesmerized and stunned. This is an image of nature welcoming a god into their lands.

Hei Anjing spoke, “It’s a little hard to breathe in this land.”

“My king, the qi air in the Mortal World is very thin. It would take a while for your highness to get used to it. Please wear this veil to cover your nose. It would purify the qi that would be passed through it and help make the air breathable. Moreover, his highness’s body had temporarily sealed its divinity. His highness is currently a mortal and it would take a while for esteemed his highness’s soul to adjust. Please be careful,” said one of the six phoenixes who materialized in their human form.

Hei Anjing took the veil and placed it over his face. Only the pair of phoenix-shaped eyes were revealed for the others to see. This gave Hei Anjing a mysterious atmosphere making him even more captivating than before.

“I see... Are there any other concerns?” asked Hei Anjing.

A phoenix responded, “A message from His Majesty the Emperor. The mighty one says that his blood brother had gone missing in the Mortal Realm. His soul jade had cracks and dimmed but it didn’t turn to dust. The possibility of the missing Prince’s soul exists in this land of mortals. They might one ask His Highness to just keep this in mind.”

“I see. I shall keep it in mind. You may go back,” said Hei Anjing as he started walking and suddenly disappeared into thin air. No one knew where he had disappeared to.

Meanwhile, the phoenixes in humanoid form had all looked in different directions giving a warning glare. There are some hidden cultivators who wanted to check on the young king and were punished by them on the spot. Those with the evilest thoughts had died where they were standing and were burned to ashes by the phoenix’s flame.

The other cultivators like Emperor Hong and the rest were terrified by that scene. One of the men who turned to ash happened to be an Evil Cultivator who was provoking them just now. When he saw how gorgeous the immortal being who had gone down the sedan was. His mind had been filled with filthy thoughts and this is mostly why he had been burned to death by those divine phoenixes just now.

Emperor Hong moves away from the red golden flames burning the corpse of the Evil Cultivator just now.

“H-He even failed to escape. That’s the phoenix’s flame. It was impossible to escape from the start,” commented the Minister of the Hong Dynasty.

Emperor Hong snorted and said, “Who gave him the confidence!? Because his head and eyes are filled with filthy thoughts he ended like this! Snort. By the way, what do you think?”

“You want me to guess who that Esteemed being is? I don’t want to die yet,” said the minister.

.....

Emperor Hong said, “Just tell me your thoughts.”

“He might be someone from high standing. Those divine phoenixes. Only the Immortal Empress uses such creatures to pull her sedan. Either that or... He might be a person from the Regal Clan,” said the Minister.
