Chapter 419 - Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Calls Me Uncle-Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A few purple-robed elders landed from above the teleportation array formation.

Judging from their auras, these people were all Immortal Kings.

They were equally respectful to Lan Lang, and all bowed to him.

Even though he had left the headquarters a thousand years ago, his legendary feats had always boosted the morale of the disciples, and his prestige exceeded that of many elders.

Although Lan Lang appeared arrogant on the surface, he was quite easy-going.

He returned the bow.

“This must be Qin Xiaochuan!” The elders sized up Qin Chuan.

Lan Lang introduced the elders to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan greeted them one by one.

“Elder Lan, we haven’t met since you resigned from your post at the Sword Dao office.

“We have specially prepared some good wine for you. Would you be free, Elder? “asked an elder.

Lan Lang said, “I appreciate your kind intentions. However, I’m only here to send Xiaochuan to the Mustard Domain. Once he enters, I’ll leave.

“I’m sorry, Elders. We have many years ahead, there’s still time for us to meet again.”

“Eh… but…” The elders could not help but frown. Some of the elders wanted to persuade him, but others shot them a look, signaling them to stop.

The Mustard Domain was located in the forbidden ground of the Luo Ding Sect’s headquarters.

The forbidden ground was watched over by elders on shifts, and it was heavily guarded. There were many mechanisms inside and many array formations. If one tried to break in, even an Immortal King could die.

Lan Lang led Qin Chuan to the entrance of the forbidden ground. When the elder on shift saw Lan Lang, his expression changed drastically.

“Master!” He was especially respectful towards Lan Lang, bowing as he approached him.

Master???

Qin Chuan was shocked.

The elder was dressed in a blue robe, and his cultivation level was at the Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. A step further and he would become an Immortal Monarch.

“Long time no see, Little Ji,” said Lan Lang with a smile.

“Little Chuan, this is Ji Qi, a disciple listed under my name. You could say he’s my disciple as well! Get to know him,” said Lan Lang to Qin Chuan.

After hearing that, Qin Chuan instantly understood why this elder was so respectful towards Lan Lang.

Although disciples put under a master’s name could not be considered true disciples, they were still considered master and disciple in name.

“Disciple Qin Xiaochuan, greetings Elder Ji.” Qin Chuan paid his respects to Ji Qi.

Ji Qi’s expression changed to one of extreme fear. He immediately raised Qin Chuan’s hands. “No, no!”

“You are Master’s sworn brother. In terms of seniority, I have to address you as Uncle-Master.”

With that, Ji Qi bowed towards Qin Chuan. “Greetings, Uncle-Master.”

“Eh…” Stunned, Qin Chuan glanced at Lan Lang.

Lan Lang nodded slightly, signaling for him to accept it.

Since Lan Lang had no objections, Qin Chuan could only acquiesce.

“I remember you weren’t in charge of guarding the forbidden ground! Why were you sent here?” asked Lan Lang.

“You have a good memory, Master. I was sent here as punishment because I committed an offense.”

Lan Lang frowned and asked, “What did you do?”

Ji Qi rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry about me, Master.

“I find guarding forbidden ground pretty good. I have to deal with all sorts of matters while I’m outside, it’s so busy. But the forbidden area is peaceful and quiet. Typically, no one would disturb me. It’s perfect for

cultivation. ”

This was what Ji Qi claimed, but Lan Lang knew it wasn’t true.

If what he said was true, they wouldn’t have needed elders to be on guard duty.

As far as he knew, not a single elder wanted to guard the forbidden ground, not even himself.

Qin Chuan could tell that Ji Qi’s explanation was somewhat forced. Since Lan Lang didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t say anything either.

“Oh, right!” asked Ji Qi. “How long are you planning to stay at the headquarters this time, Master? I can’t host you because I have to keep guard here.”

Lan Lang said, “I’m only here to send Xiaochuan to the Mustard Domain. Once he’s inside, I’ll be on my way.”

“Ah! Master, won’t you stay a few more days?” asked Ji Qi.

Lan Lang shook his head. “Nah! I have other matters to attend to. Maybe another day!”

“Fine!” Ji Qi sounded a little disappointed.

“Ji Qi, are all the disciples participating in the challenge like Xiaochuan here?” asked Lan Lang.

“They went in an hour ago.”

Lan Lang nodded. “Got it. Time is of the essence, so I’ll send Xiaochuan in.”

Ji Qi cast a spell to open the gate of the forbidden ground, after which Lan Lang and Qin Chuan walked in.

Behind the door was a long and narrow tunnel.

There were hidden mechanisms in the tunnel, and the space was chaotic. This was to prevent experts proficient in Laws of Space from manipulating it.

Lan Lang chanted an incantation, and the long tunnel suddenly lit up. A flying sword appeared beneath their feet.

The flying sword quickly carried them through the tunnel.

The tunnel, on the other hand, was a huge space. It was similar to the abode of the elders in the third division but more spectacular.

At that moment, a few elders flew over from afar.

They also held Lan Lang in high regard.

Qin Chuan was confused. Lan Lang was an Immortal King like them; why were they so respectful towards him?

Just because he killed an Immortal King from the Demon race in one strike, and his combat ability was outstanding?

Qin Chuan had a hunch that Lan Lang had more secrets than that.

But now was not the time to dwell on that.

After exchanging some pleasantries with Lan Lang, the few elders led them to the Mustard Domain.

The Mustard Domain was composed of multiple time array formations, each of which was powered by ten Immortal King Realm elders.

Qin Chuan took a quick look.

There were around ten time array formations.

In other words, opening the Mustard Domain required at least 30 Immortal Kings.

One had to realize that the Luo Ding Sect only had a total of about 60 Immortal Kings. From this, it could be seen just how harsh the conditions to open the Mustard Domain were.

After Qin Chuan arrived, all the elders’ gaze fell on him.

Being stared at by so many Immortal Kings made Qin Chuan a little uncomfortable.

Lan Lang patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder. He said nothing, but it gave him a sense of security.

“Qin Chuan!” said a booming voice.

A muscular black-robed old man slowly emerged from the distorted space.

The black-robed old man was bald with narrowed eyes. It was impossible to tell whether he had opened his eyes or not.

Qin Chuan took a glance and instantly determined that this black-robed old man must be an extraordinarily powerful expert.

This conclusion was based on his years of watching anime.

In those anime, people with squinty eyes were all very powerful.

Lan Lang introduced, “This is the Supreme Venerable Elder of the Luo Ding Sect. He’s from the same generation as the founding patriarch and manages the Elders office. His status is second only to the Sect Master.”

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. He knew about the old man in the black robe. There were detailed records of him in the book “The Development History of the Luo Ding Sect.” Supposedly, he had lived for 20 eras.

20 eras meant two billion years.

He was a senior elder among senior elders.

“Lan Lang, you’re here!” said the Supreme Venerable Elder amiably.

Lan Lang bowed. “Long time no see, Supreme Venerable Elder.”

The Supreme Venerable Elder sighed. “Indeed! Long time no see indeed.”

“The man beside you is your sworn brother? The entire sect is abuzz about this!”

Lan Lang smiled but said nothing.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan immediately bowed. “Disciple Qin Chuan, greetings Supreme Venerable Elder.”

“Since you are here, quickly get in there!”.
