A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Luo Cheng moved with lightning speed, landing beside Li Qiang in a flash.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the golden net trapping Li Qiang instantly broke open.

Unlike the immortals who shone with light and possessed a magnificent aura, Luo Cheng had neither light nor any imposing presence.

If he hadn't been floating in mid-air, anyone would have thought he was just an ordinary mortal.

However, upon seeing Luo Cheng, the immortal's heart suddenly tightened.

His gaze turned serious as he stared at Luo Cheng and asked, "Who are you?"

Luo Cheng remained calm and replied indifferently, "An ordinary cultivator."

The immortal chuckled softly, a clear and melodious laugh.

Compared to before, it had lost some of its majesty, and now it was clearly recognizable as a female immortal.

She harbored doubts and simply did not believe that an ordinary cultivator could break through her golden net and disregard the pressure of an immortal.

Looking around, one can understand why: those cultivators were unable to move under the pressure of the immortals.

This is also why immortals rarely appear in front of ordinary cultivators; an immortal only needs to release a little pressure to cause a mortal's spirit to collapse.

Luo Cheng's gaze remained calm as he slowly said, "You must be Dai Nanfengyu?"

The female immortal was startled: "How did you know my name?"

She is an immortal, and cultivators could never know her name. Even wandering immortals would not know it.

Luo Cheng continued, "I also know that you offended an immortal, which is why you fled to the cultivation world."

Dai Nanfeng felt a chill run down his spine, but quickly regained his composure and said, "So what if you know?"

At the same time, she pondered to herself, "Could it be that he also comes from the Immortal Realm? If that's the case, then everything makes sense."

Dai Nanfeng secretly speculated that if Luo Cheng came from the Immortal Realm, could fight against her, and knew her origins, it would make sense.

However, she never expected that Luo Cheng was actually a time traveler.

Just as the two were talking, another golden light flashed and landed beside Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng recognized the immortal at a glance and said directly, "You're Qian Shanyong, aren't you?"

Qian Shanyong was equally surprised and asked, "You come from the Immortal Realm?"

Similarly, he naturally assumed that Luo Cheng came from the immortal realm.

Luo Cheng neither confirmed nor denied it.

Even Li Qiang was confused. He secretly wondered, "Could it be that my senior brother is a reincarnated immortal?"

Seeing the various expressions on everyone's faces, Li Qiang didn't say anything, letting them speculate.

Luo Cheng looked at the two immortals, pointed at Li Qiang, and said, "This is my junior brother." The meaning was clear: if you want to take my junior brother, you'll have to ask for my permission first.

The two immortals quickly weighed their options, wondering if they could take down Luo City together.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng said, "Let's go to the outer heavens and have a match."

"Alright!" If an immortal wants to unleash their full power, they certainly cannot do so on the surface of a planet.

The immortal's full-force attack was terrifyingly powerful, enough to slice a planet in half like a watermelon.

Luo Cheng, carrying Li Qiang, flashed into the void in an instant.

The void was pitch black, and this was the first time Li Qiang had ever been in the void.

With his current level of awareness, he could only see that blue planet in the distance, which was the Heavenly Court Star.

In an instant, two golden lights flashed and landed opposite Luo Cheng.

"Old Gan, come here," Dai Nanfeng said.

Luo Cheng remained calm and composed, saying, "You can all come at me together."

Dai Nanfeng snorted: "If you want us to come at you together, you'd better beat Lao Gan first."

Luo Cheng secretly deduced that one of these two immortals was a Luo Tian Shang Xian (a high-ranking immortal), and the other was a Jin Xian (a golden immortal).

Qian Shanyong took out a magical artifact and said, "You make the first move."

The reason for letting Luo Cheng make the first move was twofold: firstly, Dai Nanfeng was there to provide support; secondly, he was unsure of Luo Cheng's true strength.

Luo Cheng has no magical artifacts, and he has never learned any magical arts; he only knows Buddhist supernatural powers.

At this moment, after cultivating his divine powers, this was his first time fighting against an immortal.

Luo Cheng pondered, "Then let's try the Eighteen Demon-Slaying Hands."

Previously, due to his low cultivation level and the fact that he had never encountered a truly powerful opponent, he could only use three layers at most.

This time, Luo Cheng decided to try stacking nine layers.

Luo Cheng formed a hand seal, his hands blooming like lotus flowers, instantly transforming into phantoms.

In an instant, it was printed.

"Try this!" A golden sphere appeared in front of Luo Cheng and slowly pushed it towards Qian Shanyong.

In Li Qiang's eyes, the golden ball seemed to be moving very slowly.

However, in Qian Shanyong's eyes, the golden ball was as fast as lightning, as if it could tear through the void in an instant.

Qian Shanyong was startled and wanted to dodge, but as soon as the thought arose, he was horrified to find that he could not move an inch.

This is the power of supernatural abilities!

This is a great divine power created by Lingxu. When a deity uses this divine power, they can even fight against other gods.

Since it is a divine power used by the gods, it can naturally harm immortals.

At this moment, Dai Nanfeng was also shocked. She had never seen such a terrifying supernatural power, let alone such a celestial technique, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

In contrast, Qian Shanyong, with his broader knowledge, pondered to himself, "Could this be a divine restriction?"

He had met Tian Gu, also known as Yuan Gu Shangren. Tian Gu's most powerful divine technique was Bei Ye Shen Jin, a genuine divine restriction that could restrict ancient immortals.

Qian Shanyong never expected that Luo Cheng would also possess divine arts.

Qian Shanyong dared not be arrogant, knowing full well the terrifying power of divine arts.

Before him lay a celestial artifact, a sword-shaped celestial weapon.

Qian Shanyong used his immortal magic to activate the immortal artifact.

The longsword instantly emitted a terrifying celestial light, which condensed into the shape of a blade and slashed towards the void.

When immortals clash, it happens in the blink of an eye.

Although it sounds slow to describe, the whole process is actually lightning fast.

In an instant, the blade struck the golden sphere, but the sphere's power remained undiminished, crushing the blade and continuing forward until it collided with the main body of the immortal artifact, at which point it slowed down slightly.

"Boom!" The immortal artifact collided with the golden light sphere, unleashing a series of booming sounds.

Shockingly, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the immortal artifact.

"Go!" Qian Shanyong shouted, unleashing dazzling beams of immortal light.

Just then, Dai Nanfeng also made her move, summoning her immortal artifact and slashing towards the golden light.

With this strike, Dai Nanfeng finally realized the terrifying pressure Qian Shanyong had just endured, and he also understood what divine restrictions meant.

"Boom!" Even so, the golden ball's residual power remained undiminished.

After shaking apart the two magical artifacts, the two immortals simultaneously unleashed their magical arts.

What is magic? At this moment, Li Qiang witnessed it for himself.

Cultivators use magic, the power of which is incomparable to that of immortal techniques.

Immortal arts, through special techniques, fuse immortal energy and carry the power of heaven and earth, capable of destroying stars.

At this moment, a terrifying light burst forth from above the Heavenly Court Star.

On the celestial star, Fu Shan and Hou Pijing looked up to watch the battle and saw a dazzling ball of light, as bright as a star, shining in the sky.

Because of the close proximity, the sphere of light completely obscured the star's radiance, as if a sun had appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, rendering the two grandmasters of cultivation unable to move.

The two exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.

"Is this what it means to be an immortal? What kind of great battle is taking place in the heavens?"

After making one move, Luo Cheng put his hands behind his back and did not make another move.

Throughout the entire process, only two immortals were fully engaged in dealing with the golden sphere of light.

After a long while, the power of the golden sphere slowly dissipated, and the two immortals felt the pressure ease, unable to help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The two immortals stood in the void, their gazes toward Luo Cheng now completely different.

"You are the Heavenly Emperor!" they thought. Only the Heavenly Emperor could make them so embarrassed.

Luo Cheng shook his head and said, "If we're talking about cultivation level, I should be equivalent to a newly ascended Celestial Immortal."

Neither of the two immortals believed a single word. A celestial being? Could a celestial being really cause them such a great loss?

During the great battle between Luo Cheng and the immortals, the Great Flame Spirit Beast sensed the terrifying power and took the opportunity to escape.

Luo Cheng released his divine sense to investigate, but only managed to detect a trace.

This Great Flame Spirit Beast was extremely cunning, and it escaped without a trace using a secret technique.

Luo Cheng thought to himself, "Now, who knows which planet it will go to wreak havoc on? This is going to be troublesome."

Luo Cheng, with his hands behind his back, looked at the two immortals and asked, "Shall we continue fighting?"

"What's the point of fighting!" The two of them couldn't beat Luo Cheng even when they joined forces, so naturally they didn't want to fight anymore.

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Phew." Li Qiang let out a long breath. He had finally witnessed the battle between immortals and deeply realized just how strong his senior brother was.

"Senior brother, I never expected you to be so powerful. Even two immortals working together are no match for you."

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, I'm still a bit strained. If they go all out, it will be quite difficult for me to beat them."

The main reason is that his cultivation level is too low, his divine chess power is insufficient, and his endurance is not enough.

Luo Cheng stood still, slightly recovering his divine power, and then took Li Qiang back to the Heavenly Court Star.

Fu Shan and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Luo Cheng and Li Qiang return safely.

Keep in mind, they were facing two immortals.

Moreover, Fu Shan witnessed firsthand that Li Qiang was utterly powerless against an immortal and was imprisoned in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Fu Shan also began to have doubts, thinking to himself: Could it be that my brother is a reincarnation of an immortal?

Fu Shan used telepathy to ask Li Qiang, "Have you asked your senior brother if he is a reincarnated immortal?"

Li Qiang also responded telepathically: "I asked, and my senior brother said no."

Fu Shan then asked no further questions.

Next came the wrap-up work, which Luo Cheng did not participate in.

After finishing the final work, Fu Shan, Li Qiang, and their brothers went to Luo Cheng again.

Fu Shan said, "Brother, let's go back to Fengyuan Star."

Luo Cheng's expression was solemn as he said, "In my estimation, it won't be long before more immortals arrive in the cultivation world."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

At this moment, surrounded by his closest people, Luo Cheng pondered for a moment and decided to say something.

"Actually, my junior brother and I practice the Azure Emperor's techniques."

"The Azure Emperor?" Upon hearing this name, everyone felt an extraordinary sense of dominance.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "The Azure Emperor is the ruler of the Immortal Realm. In the Immortal Realm, the Azure Emperor is like an emperor, possessing supreme authority."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, only then realizing just how formidable the Azure Emperor was.

After Luo Cheng finished speaking about the Azure Emperor, he turned to Li Qiang and said, "Junior Brother, there is a reverse passage near Linming Star. When immortals come to the cultivation world, their first stop will be Linming Star."

Although no one spoke, everyone felt that their eyes had been opened.

The reverse passage is an extremely secretive matter.

Generally speaking, once one becomes an immortal, it is impossible to return to the cultivation world, so only a very few people know about the existence of the reverse passage.

Luo Cheng continued, "Junior brother, I hope you will go to Lin Mingxing."

Fu Shan couldn't help but worry: "Are we sending Li Qiang alone?"

Luo Cheng responded, "I still have some things to take care of. After I finish these things, I will go to Lin Mingxing."

Fu Shan felt somewhat relieved to learn that Luo Cheng would also be going.

Luo Cheng then said, "Let me see the Heaven-Defying Mirror."

"Okay." Mo Huaiyuan handed the Heaven-Defying Mirror to Luo Cheng without the slightest hesitation.

When Yi Jun Sha saw the Heaven-Defying Treasure Mirror, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Clearly, he knew that this thing could help him reincarnate.

Luo Cheng examined the Heaven-Defying Mirror and said, "This thing belongs to the Xingtian Immortal Artifact. It requires a special refining method to use, and it also requires a high level of cultivation."

Mo Huaiyuan said, "Brother, since that's the case, you can have this."

Luo Cheng shook his head: "There are better ways to deal with reincarnation than using the Heaven-Defying Mirror."

"What method?"

"Keep it a secret for now."

Luo Cheng carefully examined the Heaven-Defying Treasure Mirror, mainly studying the restrictions within the immortal artifact, as well as the arrangement and crafting techniques of the immortal array.

After getting a general idea, Luo Cheng handed the Heaven-Defying Treasure Mirror to Li Qiang: "Junior brother, take this. If the immortal wants it, just ask him for a reward."

"Alright." Li Qiang accepted the Heaven-Defying Mirror, then asked curiously, "Senior Brother, where are you going?"

"Go see a few people."
