Chapter 1744

Standing before the light gate, Luo Jiuyou was already eager to enter.

After finally confirming there was no danger, Ye Zhangqing and the two others, just like Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, passed through the light gate, vanished on the spot, and headed for the Immortal Realm.

Upon entering the light gate, they felt no discomfort; only the scene before them shifted, and the three found themselves atop an inverted mountain peak.

No, it shouldn't be called a mountain peak; it should be called the mountain base.

However, this mountain floats in midair, with its base facing upward and its peak downward, forming a huge platform.

The light gate is right at the center of the mountain base.

As Ye Zhangqing and the two others passed through the light gate and cleared their view of the surroundings, they discovered more than a dozen youths around them, and Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing were also present.

At this moment, the more than a dozen youths were gathered around Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, each speaking up to discuss something.

At a glance, these people are clearly from the Immortal Realm, bearing an ethereal, otherworldly aura.

This feeling cannot be acquired later; it seems innate.

Meanwhile, the more than a dozen youths scanned Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing up and down, saying.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this physique won't do either—too many impurities."

"At this age, you've only reached Emperor Sovereign cultivation?"

"Our sect doesn't want these two—who wants them?"

"I don't want them either; if it weren't for my master's order, I wouldn't have bothered coming."

"This woman is not bad; how about being my servant? It would let you survive in the Immortal Realm."

Faced with the youths' criticism, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing's faces darkened, gritting their teeth.

In the myriad worlds, they are outstanding youths and leaders; when have they ever been criticized like this?

Moreover, the Immortal Realm youths' words, inside and out, reek of contempt, as if they utterly look down on the two.

They even suggested letting Qing Shen Ji be a maid—nothing but a servant.

Having never been treated this way before, they felt utterly stifled, their anger continually rising.

Yet they dared not lash out, for the surrounding youths all possessed Emperor Sovereign-level cultivation.

Clearly, they would be no match in a fight.

These more than a dozen youths come from various major powers of the Immortal Realm, having been ordered by their sect elders to make this trip.

Their purpose is to deal with Ye Zhangqing and the other lower-realm cultivators.

While the crowd was criticizing Qing Shen Ji and the others, the figures of Ye Zhangqing and his two companions also passed through the light gate into the Immortal Realm.

"Someone else has come."

Someone spoke, and immediately the youths' gazes shifted from Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing to Ye Zhangqing and his two companions, who had just passed through the light gate and entered the Immortal Realm.

After scanning them up and down, the youths' faces again showed a look of disdain, just as they had toward Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing.

"Only Emperor Sovereign cultivation again? Are all these lower-realm people so useless?"

"Huh???"

As soon as they spoke, their tone was thick with mockery; hearing this, Luo Jiuyou could barely hold back and immediately retorted.

"What's wrong with Emperor Sovereign cultivation? Did I offend you?"

"You're calling us trash—at this age you haven't even broken through to Emperor Sovereign."

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Immortal Realm youths showed no restraint, curling their lips and saying; hearing this, Luo Jiuyou could no longer contain herself.

Without waiting for him to speak, Hei Lin beside him clapped a hand over his mouth—these people are Emperor Sovereign cultivators; doesn't this guy assess the situation?

Moreover, we've just arrived in the Immortal Realm and still haven't figured out the situation—how dare you act so arrogantly? Are you seeking death?

After a round of contempt, the more than a dozen Immortal Realm youths resignedly said.

"Forget it, forget it; you are all from the lower realms, now having ascended to the Immortal Realm—our sects are willing to take you in, and you may freely choose which one to join."

One youth swept his gaze over Ye Zhangqing and the five others and said.

Hearing that the Immortal Realm sects actively wanted to take in Ye Zhangqing and the others, the five of them did not immediately speak, instead falling into contemplation.

Although these Immortal Realm powers were so proactive, for a moment the five could not tell whether they were friends or foes.

Moreover, what other motives might they have toward these so-called lower-realm people?

However, facing the more than a dozen Immortal Realm youths before them, it seemed there was little room for choice.

They outnumber us and are stronger, all being Emperor Sovereign Realm cultivators; if we fought, Ye Zhangqing and the others would surely be no match.

Furthermore, as that Immortal Realm youth finished speaking and saw Ye Zhangqing and the five others silent, another Immortal Realm youth directly said.

"Don't waste time; let us choose for ourselves."

"Only five of us have come this time; let our five families pick first—any objections?"

The more than a dozen Immortal Realm youths, acting on their own, seemed to have already decided the affiliation of Ye Zhangqing and the five others.

This time only five people came from the lower realms, yet those present represent more than a dozen powers.

Obviously, it's not enough to go around; after discussion, it was decided that the five families would pick first.

The rest would continue waiting here for the next batch of lower-realm cultivators to arrive, then choose.

Anyway, the immortal gate is now open, so it's no longer impossible for lower-realm people to enter the Immortal Realm.

There will be plenty of opportunities later.

The more than a dozen Immortal Realm youths had no objection; ultimately, the five selected powers began picking people.

However, just as before, their eyes were full of contempt, as if they utterly looked down on Ye Zhangqing and the others.

Having casually made their selections, the five youths said.

"Let's go; follow us back."

"Wait, do you think you're picking pets? Have you even asked for our opinion?"

Seeing that the five of us had inexplicably been assigned affiliations by those five Immortal Realm youths, Luo Jiuyou asked with a dark face.

As for that, the Immortal Realm youth who had selected him answered unhappily.

Do your opinions matter? Where did all this nonsense come from? Just follow me.

Saying that, the youth directly took out a bag, waved his hand, the bag opened, and regardless of whether Luo Jiuyou wanted it or not, a huge suction force directly sucked him into the bag.

Holy shit............

There was only a cry of alarm, and then Luo Jiuyou disappeared; after that, the youth didn't waste words, greeted the other Immortal Realm youths, shouldered the bag, and vanished on the spot.

Luo Jiuyou was forcibly taken away, and the remaining Ye Zhangqing and his three companions dared not act rashly.

At that moment, the Immortal Realm youth who had selected Hei Lin asked indifferently.

Will you go by yourself, or shall I take you?

Upon hearing that, Hei Lin, taking Luo Jiuyou's experience to heart, spoke without hesitation.

No need, I'll go with you myself.

Then let's go.
