Chapter 1126: Chapter 713: Pan King: It's Time to Pick a Side_2 Chapter 1126: Chapter 713: Pan King: It's Time to Pick a Side_2 “Ah, that's right Stone Brother, who are the person known as 'Number Two in the World' and the 'Emperor Daoist Immortal Golden Daoist'?” Tu Wa Zi asked, frowning.
Especially the one known as 'Number Two in the World', he was most interested.
If there was a Number Two, wouldn't there be a Number One above him?
How formidable must one be to dare claim such a grandiose title?
Even adults had never done so.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao revealed a mysterious smile, “I can't speak of this for now. If you can successfully refine the Life Prolonging Pill, you'll know when you see him; he's actually an old acquaintance.”
“Oh, we know him?” Tu Wa Zi became even more puzzled, quickly scanning through all the people he knew in his mind, but couldn't match anyone to the description.
…
…
In a corner of the village.
Enshrouded in thin mist.
At the same time, rich Spiritual Energy continuously transformed into visible Spiritual Mist that roamed freely throughout the hills, resembling ethereal clouds in the mid-air.
On a small path paved with blue bricks, Hunyuan Fairy King and Pan King walked side by side.
Both men were tall and stately, their King's Domain aura concealed. They walked down from an unknown halfway up the mountain, stirring up layers of rolling clouds.
After a long silence, Hunyuan Fairy King suddenly spoke with a hint of envy, “Brother Pan King, you are truly lucky to also have a Guiding Stone in your possession.”
Their relationship was close, tracing back to the Ancient Immortal Era, not something formed overnight; thus, calling each other brothers was not inappropriate.
While speaking, Hunyuan Fairy King glanced at the object shaped like a Token and resembling jade, held in Pan King's hand, his deep eyes slightly vibrating with a hint of admiration.
To be honest,
If it hadn't been for following Huang here, he might not have even known such fine things existed, which didn't require reporting and could be used for direct entry.
Huang having it was one thing,
After all, their relationship was good, and it was said that they even came from the same place; perhaps their ancestors had some connections, given Huang's terrifying talents, his forebearers were certainly not of vain reputations.
As the saying goes, 'like father, like son.'
Why are descendants like them more likely to reach the King's Domain? Because they have their predecessors to pave the way.
But for his dear friend to also have it, it made him unavoidably feel envy, jealousy, and resentment…
Hearing Hunyuan Fairy King's words, Pan King waved his hand, his face revealing an extremely smug smile while he said somewhat dismissively, “As the saying goes, 'sincerity moves heaven and earth, the inanimate opens'; Senior Liu saw my sincerity, which is why he rewarded me with a Guiding Stone.”
Hunyuan Fairy King was initially stunned, but his expression instantly turned strange the next moment, his brows furrowing tightly, “Brother Pan King, what did you just say? Senior Liu, rewarded?!”
These words themselves had no issue, but such a title coming from an old Immortal King sounded a bit off.
As Kings, they were beings that stood at the Pinnacle of the Great Dao.
To reach this realm, which one of them wasn't from a dawn of an unimaginable Era, a peerless individual, proud and unruly?!
Step into the King's Domain, and even when facing a titan, one could afford the courtesy of an equal while addressing each other as Fellow Daoists.
Pan King doing this, wasn't he positioning himself a bit too low?
He could feel it; his old friend Pan King truly placed himself at a much lower level.
This was different from Huang calling himself a senior.
The reason Huang called him a senior was that he had once granted him a favor.
And though referred to as a senior, Huang's posture had not lowered at all; treating with the courtesy of the younger, but speaking as an equal, unlike Pan King.
This sort of humble posture can only be explained when facing the Emperor.
Liu Village's master's strength is indeed formidable, but whether he has stepped into the Emperor Realm is only their conjecture.
After all, if the opponent had truly touched the Emperor Realm, there would have been unimaginable phenomena born between heaven and earth, and unimaginable scenes would accompany him as he walked in the world.
“This one is already like an Emperor,” whispered Pan King., “If it weren't for the inseparable relationship between us brothers, I wouldn't tell you!”
“Hmm?”
Hunyuan Fairy King was immediately startled, his heart stirred up like a turbulent sea. Thus, could it not mean that the master of this Holy Land had already stood at the pinnacle of the Great Dao, overlooking all beings, mastering life and death reincarnation, and even pioneering the impossible?
Yet before he could react, Pan King's voice continued: “The Burial Domain has also submitted under the Master of the Holy Land, old brother, listen to me, it's time to choose sides…”
The last sentence seemed to be uttered in fear of being overheard by others; walls have ears, so Pan King leaned directly towards Hunyuan Fairy King's ear.
As these words fell, a shock like a thunderclap surged through Hunyuan Fairy King's heart.
It was not that he didn't understand the meaning behind Pan King's words.
On the contrary, he knew only too well what “choosing sides” meant and represented.
In the eyes of ordinary creatures, the Immortal Domain currently appeared calm, presenting an image of peace, with no significant changes from before.
But in the eyes of these exalted beings, who overlooked the starry universe, this world was already like oil in the flames, having reached the turning point of destiny.
All karma was set to erupt in this lifetime. Wherever karma reached, all would face an unprecedented great reckoning.
Regardless of whether they were kings who had already transcended eternal existence, or ordinary beings struggling for survival in the mundane world, none could escape; all would be reckoned, and afterwards, the world would fall into an everlasting silence, with the Immortal Domain becoming a wave among those in the Boundary Sea.
Unless, they were willing to fall into darkness and become a part of that reckoning.
After all,
in the eyes of the kings, there was no pure black and white in this world; darkness was not necessarily pejorative, merely a matter of differing interests.
Just as carnivorous animals eat herbivores, to the herbivores, carnivores are dark and evil. But stepping out of this food chain, there is no concern about darkness, evil.
Due to this reason, many Immortal Kings had already planned to cast their lot with darkness.
In fact, as far as Hunyuan Fairy King knew, there were already True Immortals and Immortal Kings who had embraced darkness since the Ancient Immortal Era, becoming Fallen Immortal Kings of Alien Territory.
Whatever the choice, it was merely for survival.
But with Hunyuan Fairy King's nature, it was natural for him not to choose this path.
Now, another option had emerged before him.
However, regardless of the choice, once made, there was no turning back, the karma was too significant.
Hunyuan Fairy King took a deep breath, looked at Pan King, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
“Brother Pan King, this matter is of great importance, are you… sure?” Hunyuan Fairy King's voice trembled slightly, trying to glean more information from Pan King to support his decision.
Pan King nodded, a bitter smile appearing on his face: “Old brother, when have I ever deceived you? Listen to your elder brother, this is right. The Master of Liu Village has already touched the Emperor Realm, the future seen in the Sea of Karma might very well be rewritten…”
“Brother Pan King, how did you come by this knowledge?” Hunyuan Fairy King couldn't help but ask.
Pan King shook his head, sighing deeply: “It's a long story, but I can assure you, my words are not false. If you don't trust me, I can take you to meet the Burial Kings themselves, who can confirm this from their own mouths.”
However, Hunyuan Fairy King grabbed Pan King, shaking his head: “With our many years of friendship, I naturally trust you. But even if that person has touched the Emperor Realm, have you forgotten why the Emperor Fallen Era came to be? We both know very well that the great reckoning might very likely be related to the Emperor!”
“Why the fuss, we are not ones to fall into darkness. With Senior Liu now present, isn't it much better than before? I'm not merely boasting, Pan King, but if you cast yourself into darkness, I will be the first to slay you!”
“I wouldn't even consider it!”
“Let's talk serious, how do you plan to choose sides?” Hunyuan Fairy King said expressionlessly.
