An unexpected silence arose among the group, whether it was due to the deeper aning behind Luo the Superior Immortal's words or the sudden announcent of the trial's comncent.
A mont later, the silence was broken by a loud voice.
"Yunzhi respectfully follows the decree of Luo the Superior Immortal! The Immortal's condescension to personally visit the Lower Realm is a great fortune for us cultivators! What rit do I, Yunzhi, possess to witness the Immortal's glorious presence? I have no regrets even in death..."
It was Yunzhi, already kneeled in admiration and respect at Luo the Superior Immortal's feet, his voice filled with fanaticism.
Without hesitation, Yunzhi knelt, conducting such a grand ceremony.
Luo the Superior Immortal was moved!
In the Upper Realm, this Luo the Superior Immortal was rely a small figure with a humble status, never having received such grand courtesy, especially with Yunzhi's deanor being extrely fervent and sincere as if seeing a lifelong idol, even saying no regret in death.
In an instant, Luo the Superior Immortal felt his blood boil.
Initially, Luo the Superior Immortal had felt a slight unease deep in his heart, wondering why the Taoist Master's Immortals surprisingly didn't compete for the opportunity, thus leaving the allocation to him?
But now, Luo the Superior Immortal was filled with exhilaration!
The surrounding people also looked at Yunzhi with disbelief.
It's not like they hadn't seen Immortals before, and you being under the Buddha Lords, why debase yourself like this?
The young ones of the Mysterious Light Realm really have no insight at all.
Moreover, what irritated everyone even more was Yunzhi's unwarranted kneeling before the Immortal, causing them to wonder whether they should kneel or not. Kneeling might be in vain as the Immortal might not rember them, but ignoring it might offend the Immortal?
Ungrateful bald donkey!
Everyone cursed in their hearts but still bowed toward Luo the Superior Immortal, "Luo the Superior Immortal's personal presence is truly our fortune!"
Hahaha!
Luo the Superior Immortal laughed heartily, at this mont, the little figure from the Upper Realm seemingly beca the Immortal, almost like an Immortal Emperor, admired by everyone!
This feeling, even if it leads to death, is worthy!
"No need for excessive courtesy, no need for excessive courtesy." He said, smiling, and looked at Yunzhi, who had knelt on the ground with a devoted look, "Your na is Yunzhi? Very well, I rember you."
"Today, witnessing the Immortal's presence, Yunzhi is thrice fortunate. What rit do I, Yunzhi, possess that I..." Yunzhi was so excited, his face conveyed a sense of dying for one's confidant, he choked up unable to speak.
Others perceived Yunzhi as uncultured, while Yunzhi indeed hadn't seen any immortals, even about the Upper Realm, Yunzhi only recently began learning due to Xu Fan's ruckus with the Buddhist Sect.
What sort of person is Yunzhi? He employs any tactic for a supervisory position, and now, as a broader world unveils before him, how can Yunzhi contain his excitent?
Everyone present felt deeply for their sect's forces, while Yunzhi was appointed temporarily, elevated abruptly by Pu Xian. Yunzhi's presence here is thanks to Xu Fan's favor.
Thinking about it, Yunzhi, initially seeking dependency from Xu Fan due to the Buddha's weakness, upon suddenly seeing such an exalted existence of an Immortal, inevitably harbored distinct thoughts.
Besides, kneeling and flattering are trivial to a person of such cunning as Yunzhi. It might not bring significant gains, but at least there's no loss, right?
Yunzhi suffered no loss, while the black-robed elder and the Pope of the Church of Light felt awkward, deeming themselves gravely disadvantaged.
They were forces under the Immortal Emperor with equal status. Even if you are an Immortal, it doesn't place you above us. As dignified forces under the Immortal Emperor, don't they have Immortals overseeing them?
But Yunzhi's disruption forced the two, originally unwilling to bow to Luo the Superior Immortal, to reluctantly oblige.
The black-robed elder was adaptable, after all, while the Pope, the embodint of light and justice, how could submit imdiately?
Yunzhi never expected his flattery to have potentially offended nearly everyone present!
Of course, even knowing, Yunzhi wouldn't care. In your eyes, this monk is but a junior from the Mysterious Light Realm. If not offending you, you'd disregard anyway, so why should the monk care about your feelings?
Better the monk than the Taoist die—but wait, it should be better a friend's demise than that of the monk!
Luo the Superior Immortal was delighted internally by Yunzhi's worshipful gaze, unexpectedly acquiring such an excellent follower upon arrival—wasn't this the aura of a king?
Who would have thought a minor figure like could see such glory!
With great joy, he humbly replied, "Ahem, no need for formality. I'm not so unreasonable old antique, so everyone relax and comnce the trial swiftly."
So forces Luo the Superior Immortal still dared not offend, only by initiating the trial could he discern which forces were weak, akin to lambs to slaughter, thereby realizing his own opportunities.
With this thought, Luo the Superior Immortal was eager, "According to the rules, the forces representing the four Immortal Emperors need not act—naturally possess three slots. Forces ranking top ten of the Immortal Venerable get two slots, the rest don't, with one remaining slot."
The so-called slots only apply to Earth; combined, all planes of the Upper Realm are vastly expansive. Earth as a low rank plane isn't the main force in exploring the Divine Demon Battlefield.
It was precisely due to this that the slot competition was presided over by Luo the Superior Immortal.
However, what embarrassed Luo the Superior Immortal was everyone remaining stationary, motionless.
What are they doing? Just paid respects to , and now they don't listen?
Instantly, the minor Immortal instinctively felt panic, seemingly in over his head.
Fortunately, Yunzhi stood out astutely, fully employing his lackey skills, standing by Luo the Superior Immortal's side, barking at everyone, "Are you deaf? Didn't hear the Immortal's words? Disrespecting Luo the Superior Immortal is disrespecting the Immortal. Disrespecting the Immortal ans being Yunzhi's mortal enemy! Any continued disrespect shall face swift execution!"
A junior of the Mysterious Light Realm executing a Kai Yang Realm expert? Certainly impossible, Yunzhi was rely bluffing.
Luo the Superior Immortal was moved, Yunzhi, though weak, possessed top-notch loyalty! After the trial, opportunities arise, I must promote him...
Luo the Superior Immortal was touched, while everyone internally cursed the bald donkey!
Did this damned donkey have to implicate us in his flattery? Once Luo the Superior Immortal departs after the centuries-long opportunity ends, you'll face consequences, you bald donkey!
Cursing Yunzhi internally, none dared show disrespect outwardly. The black-robed elder exchanged glances with the Pope; ultimately, the black-robed elder stepped forth, "Immortal, it's not us delaying, but... soone seems yet to arrive..."
