Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 480: I Am Named the Eternity Heavenly Sage

Immortal Void Rush smiled lightly. "You've seen it too... Look at the person calling for help investigating a Spirit Blood Sect’s general. For now, stay out of it. You can choose a title now; in the future, your title in the Killing Spiritual Division will be your name."

After thinking for a moment, a name crossed Fang Chen's mind.

Everyone, I am named the Eternity Heavenly Sage

Immortal Void Rush couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment.

She stared at Fang Chen, feeling speechless. "Isn't this title a bit too grand? The words Eternity and Heavenly Sage are not to be mentioned casually...."

"Exactly. No one would think that the Eternity Heavenly Sage would be a mere Foundation Building Realm cultivator." Fang Chen smiled. "This will help me hide my identity, ensure my safety, and also intimidate Spirit Blood Sect cultivators. If there are Spirit Blood Sect spies in the Killing Spiritual Division, hearing this title will make them think twice about plotting against me."

Immortal Void Rush quietly contemplated over his words.

Eternity Heavenly Sage, what cultivation level do you have? Are you in the middle three realms?

Someone sent a message, while others remained silent, clearly observing the situation.

The Eternity Heavenly Sage is a senior. Everyone should show enough respect towards him. I, Ling Xiao, can vouch for that.

A senior indeed? It seems our Killing Spiritual Division has grown stronger again.

Congratulations.

Fang Chen looked at Immortal Void Rush with a strange expression. "Senior Void Rush, is your title Ling Xiao?"

Immortal Void Rush nodded gently, a smile playing on her lips. "With my endorsement, they should have no doubt about your identity."

Eternity Heavenly Sage, do you want to investigate the clue about the Spirit Blood Sect’s general together with me? He may be lurking in the Hidden Immortal Empire. If we can find out his true identity, we can directly eliminate many Spirit Blood Sect cultivators.

I'm going to the Central Continent, I don't have time for now.

Ah, what a pity...

Fang Chen looked at Immortal Void Rush with a puzzled expression. "Senior Void Rush, although it is convenient to have a title, won't Spirit Blood Sect cultivators lurking in the Killing Spiritual Division take advantage of it and impersonate members?"

"If anyone dares to use someone else's title, their true nature will be revealed." Immortal Void Rush's lips curled up slightly. "In the past, there were Spirit Blood Sect cultivators who wanted to use this to harm the Killing Spiritual Division, but they forgot where our rings came from."

"The rings we use are all personally crafted by the Killing Spiritual Division founder. Now that you've chosen a title, the founder already knows. If he finds out that you're using someone else's title for malicious purposes, it's like admitting to the founder that you're a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator."

Her eyes twinkled with amusement. "At that time, no matter where you are, the founder can easily find you, take your ring, and your life."

Fang Chen was slightly stunned, feeling as if there were invisible eyes staring at him, unsure if it was just his imagination.

Seemingly guessing what Fang Chen was thinking, Immortal Void Rush smiled lightly. "The founder isn't so bored as to constantly watch over us. You don't need to worry about your secrets being leaked."

Fang Chen suddenly became curious. "Senior Void Rush, I wonder what's the founder's title?"

“The founder doesn't have a title, or rather... no one knows which title belongs to the founder.”

Immortal Void Rush lightly shook her head. “Just remember, the only goal of the Killing Spiritual Division is to deal with the Spirit Blood Sect. We only come together because of the Spirit Blood Sect. In ordinary days, you are you, and I am I. There won't be much interaction.”

Fang Chen nodded slightly, having a preliminary concept of the Killing Spiritual Division's structure. The Killing Spiritual Division is not like a sect or a family; members would not have much contact with each other privately unless the target was the Spirit Blood Sect.

“However... there is one thing similar to sects, and that is, those who achieve merit will be rewarded.” Immortal Void Rush chuckled lightly. “The founder is already aware of your existence, so your reward should be arriving soon.”

Fang Chen was slightly surprised. “Arriving soon?”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Immortal Void Rush smiled and led Fang Chen outside the cave. They saw an eagle holding a flying sword, waiting silently. When it saw Fang Chen, it dropped the flying sword and disappeared into the sky with a turn.

Immortal Void Rush picked up the flying sword, showing a hint of admiration on her face. “This is a high-grade, yellow-rank flying sword with one hundred and eight Soul Imprints. One more soul imprint and it would be a low-grade, profound rank flying sword.”

She handed it to Fang Chen. “This is the reward from the founder.”

Fang Chen took the flying sword, his gaze somewhat serious. From the moment he refined the ring till now, only the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed. The reward arrived too quickly.

No wonder Immortal Void Rush said that if someone impersonated a title, they would have their life taken by the founder in an instant. This was indeed true.

Fang Chen sighed inwardly. “Experts at their level truly have extraordinary means.”

“Little Chen, this flying sword is equivalent to four ordinary high-grade, yellow-rank treasures,” said Little Sword with a hint of excitement.

“Hmm, I'll give it to you later,” thought Fang Chen.

“You're going to the Central Continent next? That place is not as simple as it seems. When you get there, it's better not to get involved in ordinary tasks, just focus on cultivation. If I may give you advice, I hope you can stay in the Hidden Cloud Region for cultivation. The Central Continent is not suitable for cultivators in the lower four realms,” Immortal Void Rush advised.

Fang Chen smiled. “There are reasons I must go,”

Since advancing to the Foundation Building Realm, his cultivation progress had stagnated, and even his spiritual energy had stopped increasing. This was mainly because the Three Thousand Dao Foundation Scriptures were cultivation techniques for the Qi Refining Realm. Only by joining the Three Thousand Dao Sect could he obtain cultivation techniques suited for those in the Foundation Building Realm.

The only thing that had improved recently would be his Sword Body. Little Sword had been devouring some treasures, subtly enhancing it.

Having experienced the incident over a decade ago, Fang Chen already understood that if he wanted to fully unleash the supreme power of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture, his own cultivation level needed to keep up. He couldn't risk depleting his lifespan every time.

He had only been able to survive this time because of the merits he had accumulated. If it worked out this time, would it work out the next?

“In a first-tier empire, your identity as a sword cultivator... may not be as useful as you imagine, but... everyone has their own opportunities. I won't say much more.” Immortal Void Rush smiled and turned back to her cave dwelling. Seeing the door slowly closing, Fang Chen knew that Immortal Void Rush was seeing him off. He bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Outside, Elder Yan seemed to have been waiting. Fang Chen's mind stirred, and he asked, “Elder Yan, did you see an eagle just now?”

“An eagle?” Elder Yan raised an eyebrow, then smiled faintly. “This is the Purple Pole Dao Academy. Without our permission, no living creature can enter without being noticed.”

She couldn't see it.... Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator couldn't see it. The founder's methods are indeed mysterious. I wonder if that eagle is a living creature or some kind of technique, Fang Chen thought.

Half an hour later, Elder Yan led Fang Chen to a bamboo building where Dongfang Haojie and the others had been waiting for a long time.

“Fellow Cultivator Fang, the Patriarch has instructed that you are welcome to stay here for as long as you like,” Elder Yan said with a light smile before leaving.

Seeing this, Dongfang Haojie hurriedly approached Fang Chen and asked, “Brother Fang Chen, what did Elder Void Rush say to you?”

His expression hinted at something, though subtly.
