Chapter 653: Chapter 352 “Immortal Seal” and “120 Million Years Later” (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Although the voice of the Black Moon Sect Leader was hoarse, his tone was very calm.

Standing not far in front of the Sect Leader, Milton Cheney had a placid expression, his gaze indifferent, as if he was not affected by these words.

The fact was that he really wasn’t affected.

As for the things the Sect Leader was talking about, Milton Cheney wasn’t the least bit surprised.

The Lotus Immortal Court was something he had concocted, so its nonexistence was normal; its actual existence would have been abnormal.

However, Milton Cheney was somewhat surprised that there had once been a Lotus Fairy among the ranks of the Immortal Realm.

This was something he hadn’t considered.

He just didn’t know whether the Lotus Fairy mentioned by the Sect Leader was related to the Lotus Loose Immortal who had achieved his status through virtue during the existence he had reincarnated into in the lower Cultivation Realm.

After all, the reason he had fabricated the nonexistent Lotus Immortal Court was just an inspiration that struck him, reminding him of the Lotus Sacred Ground in the Cultivation Realm where he had been reincarnated.

But thinking this far, Milton Cheney shook his head.

It probably wasn’t such a coincidence.

Even if it was indeed a coincidence, it wasn’t of much significance to him anymore.

When he thought about the vastness of the Immortal Realm and the age of its existence, it seemed normal that anything could happen.

There were all sorts of birds in a vast forest.

What did surprise Milton Cheney a bit was that despite experiencing so many simulations, he was unable to detect any emotion in the words of the Sect Leader.

There were only two possible reasons for this.

The first reason was that the Sect Leader was very good at hiding his emotions.

Even if he was interested in him as a suspected reincarnation of an immortal being, he did not show it on the surface.

The second reason was that the Sect Leader truly did not care.

He did not care about Milton Cheney’s identity, nor did he care about why Milton Cheney had purposely fabricated those lies.

But did the Sect Leader truly not care?

At this thought, Milton Cheney couldn’t help but smile wryly.

If he truly didn’t care, he wouldn’t have asked all these questions.

“The Lotus Immortal Court was my own creation, and seven hundred eras ago, this Immortal Court indeed did not exist,”

“Of course, it was just a casual fabrication, unrelated to the Lotus Fairy you mentioned,” Milton Cheney said with a faint smile.

Unlike the Sect Leader, at this moment, Milton Cheney’s voice was clear, without a trace of hoarseness.

What he shared with the Sect Leader was that his voice also lacked any trace of emotion.

If the Sect Leader was deliberately concealing his emotions, then Milton Cheney truly didn’t care.

The steward had been controlled, and the covenant with the Heavenly Path had lost its original constraints.

At this point, this world almost had no meaning for Milton Cheney, at least for the Milton Cheney within this Text Simulation.

However, if possible, Milton Cheney would still like to stay in this world a little longer.

It was not just because he wasn’t accustomed to ending Reincarnation Simulations prematurely, but also because he was genuinely interested in communicating with one of the strongest beings beneath the immortals of the Immortal Realm.

After all, opportunities to communicate on an equal footing with such existences were rare.

In reality, such opportunities were almost nonexistent, and even in simulations, they were few and far between.

Yes, equal communication.

One difference between the Sect Leader and the steward was that, from the beginning, the Sect Leader had regarded him as an equal.

There was even a trace of respect in his words at the outset.

This was perhaps a habit developed over a long time, the habit of showing reverence to Immortal Beings.

Even though the Sect Leader had deeply concealed this respect when they first met, Milton Cheney had still caught it.

But these things didn’t really concern Milton Cheney anymore.

No matter the Sect Leader’s attitude toward him, Milton Cheney remained completely detached,

After all, in this instance of the Reincarnation Simulation, he had already moved beyond the phase where he was a mere figurehead.

“Did your celestial script also shatter during reincarnation?” the Sect Leader asked in a hoarse voice, unconcerned by Milton Cheney’s indifferent tone.

Upon hearing this, Milton Cheney was taken aback, but his face showed no surprise.

It wasn’t the mention of celestial scripts that caused his reaction; he was familiar with them, representing both the status of Immortal Court and the identity of its Immortal Beings.

Of course, Loose Immortals didn’t have the privilege to receive celestial scripts.

And the highest rank for a Loose Immortal was that of a True Immortal.

What surprised him was that the Sect Leader, who had consistently shown no emotion in his tone, revealed a slight fluctuation in his voice when mentioning celestial scripts.

Although it was subtle, Milton Cheney had caught it.

What did that mean?

Did he intend to take his celestial script?

But was that possible? If celestial scripts from the Immortal Court could be taken so easily, then the existence of Loose Immortals wouldn’t be so difficult, and the Immortal Court’s authority wouldn’t be as formidable.

At this moment, even Milton Cheney was somewhat puzzled as to what the Sect Leader meant.

Despite feeling a slight surprise, Milton Cheney’s reaction was anything but slow.

“After my reincarnation, I lost more than just my memories.”

Milton Cheney began to speak.

Although he didn’t explicitly say it, the meaning was quite clear.

It wasn’t just the loss of memory that was implied; it also meant the loss of other things, including the Immortal Seal that could prove the identity of a reincarnated Immortal Being.

What Milton hadn’t expected was that the question the seal officer never asked was seemingly the very reason for the Black Moon Sect Leader’s previous array of questions.

It wasn’t difficult to understand why.

To the seal officer, the Immortal Seal might be of no help, but it should be of great use to the Black Moon Sect Leader.

Otherwise, the Black Moon Sect Leader wouldn’t have shown emotional fluctuations when asking that particular question.

Hearing Milton’s words, how could the Black Moon Sect Leader not understand the meaning behind his words?

Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes intently fixed on Milton’s.

But at that moment, Milton’s gaze was indifferent, unafraid to meet the Black Moon Sect Leader’s eyes.

After a moment, the Black Moon Sect Leader gently shook her head and averted her gaze.

It wasn’t that she was afraid, but rather that she had already found her answer.

Although she had anticipated it, the Black Moon Sect Leader still couldn’t help but feel a hint of disappointment in her heart.

It was not easy for her to have encountered a body that was the reincarnation of an Immortal Being, but it seemed she could not extract any benefits from it.

“I have examined your body, and it seems like powerful beings have sealed you, haven’t they?”

“It’s as if you are bound by chains, unable to advance any further.”

As she spoke, the Black Moon Sect Leader’s tone also held a hint of complexity.

After all, in his previous life, the person before her was a genuine Immortal Being.

Moreover, since this Immortal Being could reincarnate and cultivate anew, and the interval between reincarnations spanned seven hundred Longevity Eras, there might well be some hidden cards at play.

So, unless necessary, even though she had already ascertained Milton’s identity, she wouldn’t easily make a move against him.

This was also why she could afford to converse with Milton calmly and on equal terms.

As for offering Milton to the Immortal Court?

The Black Moon Sect Leader hadn’t considered that yet.

Even if she were to offer him, it wouldn’t be now.

How could she offer Milton to the Immortal Court if she couldn’t extract anything useful from him?

The Immortal Court, though powerful, was far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.

Moreover, the Immortals within the Immortal Court would not leave unless absolutely necessary.

And her perspective was quite different from that of the seal officer.

Their different horizons led them to approach problems from vastly different angles.

The seal officer thought Milton was playing some sort of delaying tactic, but the Black Moon Sect Leader saw through it at a glance.

It had to be said, the Black Moon Sect Leader’s guess was not far off.

At that point, Milton was indeed sealed, unable to elevate his Realm further.

However, it wasn’t some powerful beings who had sealed him, but rather the Simulator’s true big shot.

Although the Black Moon Sect Leader’s guess was in the right direction, she was still off the mark.

Because she thought Milton must have offended some important figure in the Immortal Realm in his past life.

That’s why, even after reincarnation, Milton still carried the shackles of the seal.

Of course, Milton might have smiled if he knew her thoughts, since it was indeed a good excuse, one he hadn’t thought of himself.

Nevertheless, Milton couldn’t guess what the Black Moon Sect Leader was thinking.

He might not be able to guess the specifics, but Milton felt he wouldn’t be wrong about the general direction of the Black Moon Sect Leader’s thoughts.

“No one has placed chains on me, but rather, my Consciousness suffered defects after reincarnation,” Milton continued indifferently.

Yet the Black Moon Sect Leader, upon hearing this, clearly didn’t believe him, as she had just examined Milton’s body and was certain that his Consciousness was intact.

At the very least, it was as strong as that of a normal Loose Immortal who had undergone lifespan severing.

The Black Moon Sect Leader believed that this was nothing more than Milton’s attempt to deceive, to conceal the Immortal Realm figure who had sealed him.

Thinking this, the Black Moon Sect Leader did not pursue the matter any further.

Sometimes knowing too much might not be a good thing.

“You are well aware that your path forward has been cut off, but in a hundred million years, I will take you to the Azure Heaven Immortal Court. You may stay with me in this Little World for now,” she said.

The implication in the Black Moon Sect Leader’s words was simple: she expected Milton to cooperate with her, which might give him a chance to turn his fortunes around in the future.

After all, there were many Immortal Beings in the Immortal Court, and it wasn’t certain that Milton would have no chance to advance further later on.

Milton, however, merely smiled lightly upon hearing this and didn’t even bother to respond.

How could he not be clear about his own situation?

Forget the Immortal Beings of the Immortal Court, even the Immortals of the Heavenly Court with their Fairy and Immortal Kings would be unable to do anything.

But of course, Milton wouldn’t volunteer this information, as even if he did, the Black Moon Sect Leader wouldn’t believe him.

……..

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred and twenty million years had gone by.
