Chapter 505: Guard Domain Third Team

On the fifth day, Huangfu Jinjia appeared. After exchanging a few polite words, he took Zhang Nuo to see Tianyi Laodao and Kusheng Heshang! On the way there, Zhang Nuo asked about the two men's strength! The result, however, gave him a great shock!

Tianyi Laodao's cultivation had already entered the Integration Middle Stage, while Kusheng Heshang had reached the Integration Late Stage. In the Immortal World, the cultivation of these two was not weak at all! It was unexpected that characters like them could only be assigned to handle the reception of ascending cultivators!

Before long, they arrived at a great hall. In the courtyard in front of the hall, a stone stele stood! It must be the legendary Transformation God Stele. As long as a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator appeared in the Human Realm or other lower-level interfaces, this stele would show a reaction!

Inside the great hall, Tianyi Laodao and Kusheng Heshang sat on the left and right respectively. Seeing Zhang Nuo enter, the two exchanged a smile! In their hearts, they were both calculating how to win this cultivator who had ascended from the Human Realm into their own faction!

After all, very few cultivators chose to join the Guard Domain Third Team; they would generally choose a faction to rely on!

"This junior pays respects to the two seniors!"

After Zhang Nuo bowed deeply to the two, he stood quietly in the center of the hall. At this moment, Tianyi Daoist waved his hand, signaling that Huangfu Jinjia could leave!

"Zhang Nuo, I believe that after resting in the small building for these past few days, you have learned something about the rules of the Immortal World! During this period, it is the turn of my 'Wuliang Dao Sect' and 'Jile Temple' to guard this place. Which one of us will you choose?"

The old Daoist spoke very directly without beating around the bush. For a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Severing Stage, there was no need to be too polite!

Raising his head to look at the old Daoist, Zhang Nuo hesitated for a moment and said:

"I thank the two seniors for receiving this junior into the Immortal World, but I acknowledge your good intentions! After careful consideration, I have no intention of joining any faction for the time being!"

Once Zhang Nuo said this, the monk and the old Daoist both revealed looks of astonishment! A cultivator who had ascended from the Human Realm had actually declined their invitation; this was an extremely rare occurrence!

"Oh! Do you mean to say you want to join the Guard Domain Third Team and serve for a period of one hundred years?"

Kusheng Heshang looked Zhang Nuo over carefully. Looking at him now, Zhang Nuo had changed into clean clothes, and his cultivation had recovered quite a bit; he was much stronger than when he had first entered the Immortal World!

"This junior has exactly that intention! Having just arrived in the Immortal World, I am not yet very familiar with everything here. Through the tempering in the Guard Domain Third Team, I think it will allow me to adapt to life in the Immortal World more quickly!"

Zhang Nuo's words sounded very pleasant, but the meaning behind them could not be clearer: he was simply unwilling to join a faction, even if it meant falling while executing missions for the Guard Domain Third Team!

"To each their own! Then the two of us will not force you! If you have any needs in the future, feel free to come find us!"

Tianyi Laodao looked at Zhang Nuo, feeling a slight sense of regret, but the 'Immortal Domain Sixteen Chambers' had clear regulations forbidding the use of coercion or inducement to force ascending cultivators to join any faction!

Therefore, the old Daoist could not say much more. He only transmitted a few words to Kusheng Heshang opposite him before saying to Zhang Nuo:

"Since that is the case, there happens to be an available spot in the Guard Domain Third Team now. In a few days, I will notify them to come here and take you over!"

Zhang Nuo nodded slightly, thanked the two again, and then turned and left the great hall! After he left, Kusheng Heshang chuckled!

"This child possesses a sense of dominance! He will not be a creature of the pond! It seems the temple of Jile Temple is too small to contain him!"

The old monk's words had the feeling of someone who couldn't eat the grapes and called them sour!

Tianyi Daoist, however, sighed heavily and said:

"Zhang Nuo's aptitude does not look like much; why has his cultivation advanced so quickly? If there is an opportunity in the future, we must study it carefully!"

"Study? Hehe! In these few hundred years in the Human Realm, only two cultivators have ascended. What are you going to study? Didn't they all go to the Guard Domain Third Team?"

The monk gave a bitter smile. Since they had been on duty at this Reception Hall, they had never received a cultivator who had ascended from the Human Realm! Looking back, it was indeed a bit ridiculous!

Zhang Nuo returned to the small building, went to the third floor, and continued to practice. He had to restore his cultivation to its peak state before the people from the Guard Domain Third Team arrived!

According to the records in the Jade Slip, the Guard Domain Third Team was still a long distance away from the Reception Hall, which meant Zhang Nuo had plenty of time!

With the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of the Immortal World, it only took Zhang Nuo seven days to fully recover. As for the injuries in his body, they had also been completely healed by the life origin power continuously provided by the Pure Underworld Divine Tree!

For the remaining time, whenever Zhang Nuo had a chance, he would chat with Huangfu Jinjia, trying to learn more about the Immortal World!

A few days later, Zhang Nuo was meditating on the third floor of the small building when his Divine Sense suddenly stirred. He felt two people arrive at the small building. He put away his cultivation technique, his figure turned into a streak of light, and he appeared directly on the first floor of the small building!

The visitors were Huangfu Jinjia and a big man! The big man wore only a sleeveless jacket, his arms were bare, and his sturdy muscles showed that he was a Body Cultivator! His cultivation was only around the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

"Senior, this is Fellow Daoist Ling Hua from the Guard Domain Third Team! In a moment, he will take you to the station of the Guard Domain Third Team!"

Huangfu Jinjia explained, gesturing to the big man beside him!

Ling Hua bowed to Zhang Nuo! He said with a polite face:

"Senior Zhang! I have come this time under the orders of the captain. I ask for your care along the way!"

"Fellow Daoist Ling, there is no need for such courtesy. Zhang is new to the Immortal World and will rely on you for everything!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo did not put on the airs of a senior expert, Ling Hua felt much more at ease.

Zhang Nuo followed Ling Hua out of the small building, steered his escape light, and flew off in a certain direction. After a moment, they disappeared at the edge of the horizon!

Along the way, Zhang Nuo looked at the scenery below, and his heart suddenly opened up. In this part of the Immortal Domain, one could hardly see any dilapidated scenes. Below, there were scattered cities, but these cities were exceptionally prosperous. Occasionally, when passing over a city, one could still feel powerful Spirit Power fluctuations!

While feeling shocked in his heart, Zhang Nuo deeply knew that in the Immortal World, his cultivation could only be considered average, and he had to be careful in everything! During this flight, he also obtained a lot of useful information from Ling Hua!

The Guard Domain Third Team was located in the northwest of the Immortal Domain, facing a Wilderness where powerful demonic beasts often appeared. Their mission was to kill or drive away those demonic beasts that came to harass the Immortal Domain!

Do not underestimate these seemingly simple tasks; many cultivators fell every year because of killing demonic beasts. Just in the last few days, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had died at the hands of a demonic beast, and even his Nascent Soul had not managed to escape!

Listening to Ling Hua's account, Zhang Nuo kept it in mind. A few days later, Zhang Nuo appeared in a small city called Gongyue on the edge of the Immortal Domain. Although it was not as prosperous as the large cities in the middle of the Immortal Domain, it was much stronger than the cities in the Human Realm!

Walking in the city, Zhang Nuo constantly sensed the auras of Immortal World cultivators. On the street, he even discovered several cultivators who were transformed demonic beasts!

Arriving at the largest mansion in the city, Ling Hua took Zhang Nuo inside! When they reached a hall, they saw an old man in his seventies sitting steadily in the main seat, holding a Jade Slip in his hand, not knowing what he was looking at!

Sensing someone approaching, the old man withdrew his Divine Sense from the Jade Slip and swept a glance at the people who had entered! When he discovered it was Ling Hua, a faint smile that was hard to detect appeared on his face, and then his gaze fell on Zhang Nuo!

Being looked at by the old man like this, Zhang Nuo felt his whole body go cold, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart! An Integration Stage cultivator! The old man in front of him was actually an Integration Early Stage cultivator!

"Captain, I have brought the person back!"

Ling Hua hardly dared to raise his head in front of the old man! Hearing him call him captain, Zhang Nuo knew that this person was the captain of the Guard Domain Third Team, named Kong Mu!

"This junior, Zhang Nuo, pays respects to Captain Kong!"

After bowing deeply, Zhang Nuo said respectfully.

"En! You are a cultivator who ascended from the Human Realm?"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was very sensible, Kong Mu nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked.

"Exactly!"

"To be able to not rely on the Three Great Powers, this old man thinks highly of you! You have spirit! Let's do this: first let Ling Hua take you around to familiarize yourself with the environment. Later, if there are missions, you will go out with them!"

With a few faint words, Zhang Nuo was considered a member of the Guard Domain Third Team. After Ling Hua took Zhang Nuo away from the hall, he toured the entire mansion. This place belonged to the headquarters of the Guard Domain Third Team. When there was nothing to do, the team members would find residences in the city to live in.

Once an emergency occurred, they would immediately gather here! After Zhang Nuo noted everything down, he followed Ling Hua out of the mansion, walked around the streets a few times, and familiarized himself with everything in the city again!

Finally, Ling Hua helped Zhang Nuo find a residence in the city. This was a separate courtyard. It cost Zhang Nuo ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Although it was a bit expensive, it was finally his own place!

After settling everything properly, Ling Hua finally left! Before leaving, he repeatedly warned Zhang Nuo that if the headquarters sent out a signal, he must go immediately, otherwise he would be punished!

Noting this matter down, Zhang Nuo saw Ling Hua off and began to set up a Restriction in his residence; as one spell formula after another was cast, the surroundings of the courtyard were enveloped by layers of light!

Returning inside the room! Zhang Nuo flicked his robe sleeves, and two rays of light, one red and one gold, flashed by; Xuan Jin and Qiong Qi both came out!

"I was stifled to death these past few days! Master, the Spiritual Qi of the Immortal World is so dense! It really cannot be compared to the Human Realm!"

Looking at the happy expression on Xuan Jin's face, Zhang Nuo could not help but nod! Now that everything could be considered settled, as long as he endured for a hundred years here, he would be a free man! But how was he to spend these hundred years?
