A simple stone, buried in the mud of the Pacific Ocean, would have been impossible to find had it not been for the "Eternal Spring Jade Engraving" from ancient Ying State that locked and verified the target. Even if Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia were Immortals, they could search until the end of their three-thousand-year lifespans and likely never find it.
"The Eternal Spring needs to be soaked in dew. After we return to the Honey Pot World, please ask Qing Lan to set up an Array so that the dew from the Honey Pot World is collected in the hot spring pool every day. From now on, we will soak in the Eternal Spring every day!"
"Hmm." Li Qianxia lazily acknowledged.
Turquoise Pool put away the Eternal Spring, gave her a smile, and said:
"You're twenty now. Wait until you're twenty-seven or twenty-eight, about to turn thirty, that's when you'll first realize the terrifying speed at which youth flies by and the years pass."
"I can live for three thousand years, plus I have Jade Pills to maintain my appearance. My brother won't allow me to date until thirty million years from now."
"You can only live three thousand years and you're planning to date after thirty million years? Are you planning to date ghosts?"
"By that time, there will probably only be ghosts around me, right?"
Both of them laughed.
"Let's go."
"Hmm."
There is no need to search deliberately. There are always some Immortals who like to flaunt their strength, without reining in their imposing aura.
Within the range of their imposing aura, everyone below the level of an Immortal, including Players, feels their heart pound as if they've suddenly looked up to see the thick roof collapsing down upon them.
And this frightening sensation is not temporary, but continuous.
Ordinary people with underlying conditions like heart disease are dying in large numbers;
Babies cry without cease, their voices now hoarse from wailing.
No one comforts the children. Their parents are either screaming or hiding under blankets and trembling on the couch.
In the face of this scene, the unknown Immortal doesn't restrain his aura. On the contrary, it seems even more invigorated, as if pleased by the situation.
Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia descended upon the city.
Before they could speak—
"Only the two of you came?"
Their expressions changed in an instant, and the next moment, there was a thunderous rumble between heaven and earth as a tide of vitality surged. Because of the assembling of too many Immortals, all the winds of the Earth were blowing toward this place.
This wind, upon touching people, could only make their hair flutter, but the clouds above were churning like fast-forwarded video reels, the passage of time seemingly accelerating.
Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia looked around—twenty Heavenly Pillars of vitality were erected!
Twenty Immortals!
Without special means, a First Level Immortal was definitely stronger than a Second or Third Level one. Among these present, Turquoise Pool believed she could take on six by herself.
Li Qianxia wouldn't be able to handle much more than her.
If Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan were here too, the current situation wouldn't even be worth worrying about, just like the time Li Changzhou killed Li Tang's nobility on board Si's giant ship.
But now...
"Are you waiting for us?" Turquoise Pool asked with a smile.
"There are some matters we want to discuss with you," a voice of indeterminate gender rang out.
"If you want to talk, then show some sincerity; don't hide in the shadows!"
All twenty Immortals hid their forms within their Heavenly Pillars of vitality, where one could vaguely discern human or animal shapes but couldn't distinguish even their gender.
Another voice, more like a notification than a conversation, rang out: "The first matter, hand over the Earth's Aura you've collected before."
"The second matter," yet another gender-neutral voice said, "Tell us the information on the instance you entered after becoming Immortals."
"The third matter, call over Li Changzhou, now, immediately!"
Call Li Changzhou over?
Turquoise Pool was somewhat puzzled. Why would these people have the gall to ask her to call for reinforcements? The next second, she realized what they were thinking.
After becoming Human Tribulation, Li Changzhou was globally the most studied opponent by Players, familiar with almost every Skill he possessed. Now, he was at his weakest moment, so if not now, when would they kill him?
Why kill him?
Because you're strong;
Because you became an Immortal early;
Because you've stood in the way for a long time;
Because you have something they want;
Because now there are many of them, they can guarantee no injuries while trying out Immortal-to-Immortal combat;
Because you're dead, it would allow more people to undergo Tribulation, for more Immortals to become the new Human Tribulation, and receive Skill rewards;
Because they want to kill.
Knowing that these people wanted to kill her brother, Li Qianxia still remained silent. Prior to the game, she was just a college student. In terms of conversation and negotiation, Turquoise Pool had more experience.
But before Turquoise Pool could speak—
"Take down these two first! Without their support, even if Li Changzhou recovers his strength, what can he do!" A Heavenly Pillar of vitality filled with killing intent issued this declaration.
"These two are First Level Immortals. We must be careful and cautious."
"Vote. Kill."
"Kill."
"Don't kill."
"Don't kill."
"No benefits, don't kill."
...
Twenty Immortals encircled the two in the middle, deciding their fate.
A surge of rage rose in Turquoise Pool's heart. She had never been treated like this in her life.
"Kill us?" She scoffed coldly.
Her aura exploded outward, the impact reverberating like a storm crashing to the ground.
The phenomenon in the sky, far more daunting than any Heavenly Pillar of vitality present, churned like a tsunami.
"And there's me!" Li Qianxia clenched her fist, summoning the Blood-colored Spear in hand, clad in battle armor.
Their combined auras surged forth like an overwhelming flood in all directions.
"So strong! Is this what a First Level Immortal is like?!"
"Continue the vote!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The will to kill was rampant.
Turquoise Pool drew out the Azure Phoenix Mirror: "Those who aren't afraid of death come forward. See who dares to take the first step—"
"Shut up!" All twenty Immortals simultaneously stepped forward.
Boom!
Twenty Heavenly Pillars of vitality collided, and even though Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia's combined aura overwhelmed over half of the opposition, a deficit was still a deficit—specifically a deficit measurable by the quantity of Immortals.
