Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 960: The Eight-Crowned King Won’t Attack Us!

The Celestial Prince wanted to fight the Eight-Crowned King?

When this guess surfaced, everyone frowned at once.

In any world, ranking things was the favorite pastime of onlookers. It allowed those who had no qualifications to compete for the immortal path to feel some sense of participation.

Ever since the battle between the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir and the Exiled Immortal, a new ranking had already been released, and the Eight-Crowned King still ranked first in this realm.

However, the reason he could still hold first place was not that people believed his talent was the best in the world.

On the contrary, everyone unanimously agreed that the Heavenly Emperorʼs heirʼs talent far surpassed the Eight-Crowned Kingʼs. It was only that the Eight-Crowned King, thanks to the World Tree sapling and the fact that he had once fought a true immortal, temporarily held the lead in combat strength.

Once the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir reached the Great Emperor or Quasi-Immortal realm and caught up in cultivation, it would most likely still be the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir who was stronger.

Second place was the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir. The reason for second place was self-evident. Next was the Celestial Prince, who had been ranked third.

But now that the Celestial Prince had emerged with a domineering aura, his eyes burning with undying divine flames that inspired fear, and he had come straight to the Immortal Path right after emerging, no one knew what incredible things the Celestial Prince might have obtained during his million-year seclusion. His combat strength was truly hard to predict.

Therefore, everyone was speculating.

Could the Celestial Prince be so confident that he planned to fight the Eight-Crowned King first, then the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir afterward?

If that was truly the case, then the Celestial Prince was also extraordinary—far more terrifying and powerful than they had expected.

Under countless gazes, the Celestial Prince did not speak. He simply swept his eyes calmly over the crowd. Then, together with the three Quasi-Immortal clan elders of the Undying Celestial Phoenix Clan, he stepped onto the teleportation array.

In the next moment, divine light flared. The four figures disappeared from their original spot. They left behind countless cultivators in Immortal City who were still discussing heatedly, guessing just how powerful the Celestial Prince had become after sealing himself for a million years.

…

Inside the Ninth Realm.

The number of cultivators here was pitifully small. They all looked at the Celestial Prince with fear and did not dare to meet his eyes.

One of the clan elders spoke, ”Old Ancestor, where is that Holy Spirit located?”

The Celestial Prince shook his head and sat down cross-legged. ”The Holy Spirit naturally carries heavenly secret shielding. It was difficult to deduce its exact location before. But now that I am in the Ninth Realm, it wonʼt take long to deduce the precise position.”

One of the clan elders looked around hesitantly and spoke cautiously, ”If we are in the Ninth Realm, will the Eight-Crowned King misunderstand and attack us?”

The Eight-Crowned King was also in the Ninth Realm.

Hearing this, the Celestial Prince also frowned slightly. He considered himself terrifyingly strong, but he did not have enough confidence when facing the Eight-Crowned King. If the other party came looking for him, it could cause quite a bit of trouble.

However, in the next moment, another clan elder shook his head. ”Donʼt worry. The Eight-Crowned King is too proud. Even when facing the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir, he never said he would take action. So why would he specially attack us?”

The moment these words were spoken, the other two clan elders relaxed.

Indeed. If the Eight-Crowned King was willing to attack the Celestial Prince, he would definitely have tried to nip the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir in the bud as well. Since he had not taken action against the Heavenly Emperorʼs heir, he was even less likely to come kill them.

The Celestial Princeʼs frown deepened when he heard this. He felt humiliated. Now, even his own clansmen did not seem to trust him.

But the most important thing was that he really did not have much confidence. This scene was far too different from the one he had imagined—emerging into the world and becoming unrivaled in this realm.
