Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 983 - 261: You are Immortal Jiao, aren’t you?
Fan Wu could daringly conclude that this place was not the mortal realm but rather the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm because he could distinctly sense an atmosphere quite unlike that of the human world. The very air he breathed was starkly different from that of the human realm, and unlike the Netherworld he had visited several times. Moreover, in this extraordinary atmosphere, he could sense strands of a rather unfamiliar divinity!
These unfamiliar divine forces naturally proved that this place was indeed the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm! It seemed that the bandits in the mountain, who worshiped the so-called Immortal Jiao, were truly worshipping a celestial deity. And such a celestial deity was not ordinary in its daring—allowing bandits to use boys and girls as offerings for his sacrifice. Even more, the deity had employed an uncommon method, directing the bandits to "offer" in such an unusual manner.
Using a strange altar, allowing mortal children to enter the Immortal Realm, would they not be discovered by other immortals? Or perhaps, Immortal Jiao possessed unique methods that prevented the aura of the boys and girls from being detected. Such a trick would at least prevent nearby immortals from sensing the presence of these children. Could it really deceive the heavens?
In fact, Fan Wu had once pondered how he might ascend to the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm someday. Would it be like in the novels of his previous life, where one’s power grew strong enough to ascend through tribulation? Or would it be like when he initially entered the Underworld, through a rather violent method? He never imagined entering the Heavenly Court in such a manner.
Fan Wu’s gaze drifted around the surrounding scenery, and it seemed he was inside a palace mansion. However, under his feet was not a solid floor, but layers of ethereal auspicious clouds. Stepping on these clouds felt like stepping on a relatively soft quilt, and even someone like Fan Wu, who could not fly, could stand upon this cloud.
The interior walls of the Immortal Palace Mansion were inlaid with numerous Multicolored Gems, each emitting a faint prestige and enveloped by a gentle glow, clearly not items of the mortal realm. The grand doors, resembling giant jade stones with gold and silver filigree, appeared incredibly luxurious—far surpassing any earthly Imperial Palace.
There were Immortal Lamps scattered around, each containing a flame that could never be extinguished. Numerous incense burners filled the mansion with a unique fragrance, uplifting the spirits of even Fan Wu, let alone ordinary mortals.
If ordinary mortals could smell such incense, just staying here for a day might extend their lives by a year! The light emitted by those Immortal Lamps could even refine the physical bodies of ordinary mortals.
Indeed, this was the mansion of an immortal, where every single item was a rare treasure. Even a brick from this place, if thrown into the mortal realm, would likely cause cultivators to fight over it frantically! Fan Wu even noticed a storage area within the mansion.
The door to this place was unlocked, perhaps the residing immortal never imagined someone would dare steal from his mansion. Generally, no mortal could come into the... Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
The place was lined with shelves, each holding gourds and jade bottles. Fan Wu casually picked up a gourd, opened it, and discovered it was filled with a large quantity of Elixirs. The Elixirs from the Immortal Mansion must also be... Immortal Pills, right?
Fan Wu took a light sniff, found the scent richly fragrant, and even reminiscent of roasted peanuts. He unceremoniously began dumping them into his mouth, not caring whether it was medicine or poison, displaying blatant recklessness, just fearless!
*Crunch, crunch*—a gourdful of Immortal Pills was devoured by Fan Wu like jellybeans and chewed up roughly. Fan Wu didn’t know if his attributes were too high or for some other reason.
He found that swallowing a gourd of Immortal Pills brought no enhancement; his attributes were the same as before. This left him sighing in disappointment.
He had hoped to emulate the Great Sage, wreaking havoc in an immortal’s mansion and stealthily eating Elixirs. But it now seemed that his imitation wasn’t good enough, as the elixir-making skills of Immortal Jiao were lacking, which dampened Fan Wu’s spirits a bit.
"Though there’s no improvement in my attributes, the taste is still quite good. He shouldn’t be an elixir-making immortal; he should be a chef in the Immortal Realm," Fan Wu commented, then opened the second gourd of Immortal Pills.
...
Meanwhile... not far from the mansion of Immortal Jiao where Fan Wu was located, an immortal appeared extremely anxious, riding auspicious clouds swiftly toward a direction. Amidst his anxious demeanor, there was a hint of confusion and bewilderment.
