The Ironic Smile

"Old Wang, no need."

Seeing this, Xiang Tiannan quickly stepped forward to support the old soldier.

"It's fine. This matter isn't your fault. We were just giving it a try."

"This meal is still on us. You've guarded the main city gate for so many years. Even if there's no great merit, there's still hard work. It's only right."

As he spoke, Xiang Tiannan offered another toast to the old soldier.

"Thank you, Lord of the State!"

The old soldier, overwhelmed by the fact that the Lord of the State didn't blame him, quickly drank the wine. After a moment of thought, he added, "Actually, based on my understanding of Su Yanjin... no, Lord Su, he is an extremely meticulous and serious person, to the point of being precise about every second."

"Given his personality, he wouldn't take the position of Deputy Lord of the State. Instead, he would stick to his regular daily routine, clocking in and out on time."

"Moreover, he once mentioned to me that he wouldn't leave until he completed his master's task."

The old soldier spoke earnestly.

"Master's task?"

"Su Yanjin has a master?"

Hearing the old soldier's words, the Lord of the State, Xiang Tiannan, and the Deputy Lord of the State, Jiang Cheng, were utterly stunned.

They had witnessed Su Yanjin's immense power firsthand.

They had already considered Su Yanjin to be invincible, but now they learned that he had a master.

How powerful must Su Yanjin's master be? They didn't dare to imagine.

"Understood."

Xiang Tiannan and Jiang Cheng both nodded.

There was nothing else they could do.

Such a powerful individual was solely focused on completing his master's task.

It seemed certain that Su Yanjin would not become the Deputy Lord of the Star Immortal State.

Xiang Tiannan and Jiang Cheng exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Since Su Yanjin insisted on guarding the city gate, they had no choice but to accept it.

At least with Su Yanjin guarding the gate, the Star Immortal State's main city would remain as solid as a mountain during his working hours.

And so, life continued as usual.

Su Yanjin, as always, maintained his nine-to-five routine, clocking in and out every day without fail.

Meanwhile, the Great Sun Immortal Continent, having suffered heavy losses at the Ninth Gate, was no longer a match for the Star Immortal State. Under the Star Immortal State's relentless pressure, they were now in full retreat.

At the Ninth Gate, high-ranking figures would occasionally drop by, some even lingering for weeks, all in hopes of exchanging a few words with that immortal soldier...

...

Meanwhile, Yi Feng, riding aimlessly on his steed in search of disciples, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host. You have received 5,000 luck points from your 41st disciple."

"Current luck points: 24,200."

The mechanical voice of the system echoed in Yi Feng's mind.

"The 41st disciple?"

"Impressive!"

"But who is the 41st again?"

Yi Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit confused.

But it didn't matter.

What mattered was that his disciples were starting to make a name for themselves.

With 5,000 here and 5,000 there, it wouldn't be long before he became a luck tycoon.

Yi Feng continued flying toward the next immortal continent.

...

At the same time.

In a grand immortal palace.

A graceful woman in white robes sat on the throne, with tens of thousands bowing before her.

Among the kneeling experts, not even those at the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm were present, as such individuals were only qualified to serve as minor commanders here.

Only those who had transcended the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm and reached the True Immortal Realm were worthy of attending court and paying homage.

What is a True Immortal?

A True Immortal is one who can truly control the forces of heaven and earth.

Before reaching the True Immortal Realm, even those at the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm were merely cultivators on the path to immortality. Though their realms bore the name of immortals, they were not yet true immortals.

The True Immortal Realm has ninety-nine levels.

Transcending these ninety-nine levels would grant one true dominion over the world.

But what lies beyond that?

No one knows.

"White Emperor!"

"We have news about that Yi Feng you mentioned."

"He was recently spotted in a place called the Heavenly Array Immortal Continent!"

An elderly man bowed and reported.
