Chapter 1331: Chapter 1430: Immortal Chapter 1331: Chapter 1430: Immortal Situ Yue was infuriated upon hearing the moniker “Yueyue,” nearly bursting out with curses. Only this detestable old fogey before her would address her in such a way, which was utterly abhorrent.
“East Pole! How dare you provoke me on the land of the Three Sects?” Situ Yue spoke with great hostility, her aura erupting like a dazzling moon, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her.
The Heaven King of East Pole replied with a faint smile, “You're still the same as before, not a bit ladylike, and not so young either. I'm afraid in this state, nobody would dare to marry you.”
By this time, many people from the Sea Saint Institute had flown out and had just overheard the Heaven King's comments. They were all stunned, standing as if they had heard something unimaginable.
Situ Yue's expression turned even uglier, and she glared fiercely at the people from the Sea Saint Institute, shouting, “What are you doing out here? Get back inside, all of you!”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Not daring to say another word, the people from the Institute returned, covered in dust, not a single one daring to show their faces, for fear of angering Situ Yue at such a time.
There were exceptions, however. An elder with a serene face and dressed in a white robe stood next to Situ Yue. At a glance, one could tell that this elder was extraordinary, as if he had stepped right out of scholarly texts, exuding a refined and scholarly aura.
“Oh, look, Dean Lu is out too! Back in the day, you were pretty quick on your feet during that battle; out of all the masters of the Three Sects, you had the fastest legs,” the Heaven King of East Pole said, bursting into laughter upon seeing the white-robed elder.
This white-robed elder was the dean of the Sea Saint Institute and was one of the important figures holding up the current Confucian Sect, his strength not much lesser than that of Situ Yue.
Moreover, due to his status as the former dean of the Institute, even Situ Yue had to treat him with respect.
After all, the most crucial principle of the Confucian Sect was to value the relationships with Heaven, Earth, Monarchs, Relatives, and Masters; even someone as powerful as Situ Yue would show great respect to her enlightening masters from the past.
This dean was also deeply beloved and revered by the Confucian disciples. In the hearts of these disciples, the dean embodied perfection, without a single flaw or defect.
However, the remarks made by the Heaven King of East Pole had turned even this usually humble and courteous dean's face red with embarrassment, displaying a rare look of shame.
“Dean Lu, I truly admire you. So many died back then, how is it that you alone remained unscathed?” the Heaven King of East Pole said again.
Dean Lu's face turned alternating shades of red and white, infuriated to the point of puffing up his beard and glaring, riddled with shame in his heart.
“East Pole, shut your mouth!” Situ Yue shouted.
The Heaven King of East Pole curled his lips, “So I can't even speak the truth? You Confucians value propriety and integrity, which should be very clear to you. But this Dean Lu is really something, watching his companions die and just turning tail to run; what a talent.”
“East Pole! You slander!” Finally, Dean Lu couldn't bear it any longer and unleashed a thunderous palm strike toward the Heaven King of East Pole.
This palm contained the might of all the Confucian Hao Qi within Dean Lu, as well as the power of countless words, its force seemingly capable of shaking the heavens.
Boom~~
A palm descended, and the immense Palm Impressions were boundless; beneath this force, the Heaven King of East Pole appeared utterly insignificant.
“Cultivating Qi is honored in the Taoist Sect, while maintaining restraint is preached in the Confucian Sect, but here you are, attacking upon disagreement. This does not become your status as the dean,” the Heaven King of East Pole said, casually digging in his ear before flicking away the giant palm strike.
In that moment, it was as if time stood still.
The once formidable Palm Impressions dissipated into nothingness in an instant, leaving Dean Lu unable to even comprehend how his fully powered strike had been so easily neutralized by the Heaven King of East Pole.
Situ Yue's face was a picture of shock as she stared in disbelief at the Heaven King of East Pole.
“Yueyue, don't bulge your eyes out so much; it's not like I'm undressed. Why so shocked?” the Heaven King of East Pole said cheerfully.
How could Situ Yue not be shocked?
“Have you already entered the Immortal Realm?” Situ Yue asked with a trembling voice, voicing a question that made even Dean Lu turn pale with dread.
And upon hearing Situ Yue pose such a question, everyone else from the Sea Saint Institute was stunned into silence, many of the Confucian disciples not even knowing what the Immortal Realm was, as confused as ever.
Only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation and were aware of the subsequent realms could grasp the gravity of Situ Yue's question.
The Immortal Realm, a state so momentous and sought after by countless Long-lived Ones.
Above the Spirit Source comes the Longevity Realm, granting lengthy lifespans, where one could turn old age to youth once, reviving the body to its youngest prime, remolding one's vitality and restructuring bones and tendons.
The current era's top powerhouses are mostly in the Longevity Realm, such as Situ Yue, Cangyunzi, and the Three Emperors, all of whom are at this stage.
But the Longevity Realm isn't straightforward; it's divided into Minor Longevity and Great Longevity.
Upon breaking through from Spirit Source, one enters the Minor Longevity Realm, known as Minor Long-livers, easily living beyond ten thousand years.
The average lifespan for those in the Minor Longevity Realm is between twenty to thirty thousand years, with few living beyond thirty thousand.
Upon reaching the Great Completion of the Minor Longevity's fifth realm, one can attempt to advance to the Great Longevity Realm. However, achieving Great Longevity is ten to a hundred times more difficult than achieving Minor Longevity.
This not only requires substantial accumulation of strength and resources but also fate and opportunity.
At this point, there are very few individuals at the Great Longevity level, so few they can be counted on two hands.
It could be said that those in the era's Great Longevity Realm are among the most formidable beings.
As for the Immortal, it lies above even the Great Longevity Realm; as long as one's physical body remains intact, one can live on indefinitely, with no theoretical limit to one's lifespan.
In other words, once someone has stepped into the Immortal Realm, they are virtually immortal, and surviving to the next era is no issue.
Whether there exist any Immortal powerhouses in the present era has always been a mystery.
In the regions of the Nine Countries, not one Immortal powerhouse has appeared, leading many to speculate that the old generation of the Three Emperors have not fallen, and are quietly cultivating to step into the Immortal Realm.
Yet, this remains a rumor, and the true situation is still unknown.
The one most believed to have entered the Immortal Realm is the current Demon Saint among the Demon Beasts, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Although the Great Sage Equal to Heaven has only been known for a millennium, during which he disappeared for five hundred years, he most definitely is the most likely to have already reached the Immortal Realm.
Back in the day, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven swept through the Nine Countries Seven Seas unbeaten, hailed as invincible under the heavens.
And now, the disheveled, unimposing East Pole Heaven King appeared to have possibly stepped into the Immortal Realm.
