Chapter 693: Chapter 686 Heavenly Immortal?

On the deck of the Spirit Boat, besides those clad in armor, the rest of the cultivators were likely those forcibly conscripted by the Heavenly Mansion this time.

Among these individuals, the weakest were of the True Immortal and True Demon level; besides, there were a few Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals as well.

However, in comparison to the total number of people on the Spirit Boat, the ratio of Earth and Heavenly Immortal cultivators was not too high.

One could only wonder if all these cultivators hailed from the various territories on Golden Dawn Island.

As Chen Hai stepped onto the Flying Boat, many eyes turned towards him.

Some seemed to revel in his misfortune, while others expressed empathy— a myriad of expressions appeared to encompass all aspects of the human condition.

“Chen Hai, I heard your Bloodthirsty Demon Sect is the top sect within the West Barbarian Mountain domain.”

“Cultivators above the True Immortal and True Demon level should be quite numerous in your sect; apart from you, why haven’t the others come aboard the Spirit Boat?”

“Those who defy the conscription order die, do you think the decree of the Heavenly Mansion is a joke?” He Yu, who was about to dismiss Chen Hai, suddenly thought of this and his expression darkened. He looked at Chen Hai and interrogated him.

The territory of West Barbarian Mountain was somewhat barren; it was indeed difficult to find those of the True Immortal and True Demon level. Upon entering this domain and learning about the situation of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect through a Soul Search, He Yu and his team did not visit any other places but came directly here.

Coming to Golden Dawn Island to conscript Heavenly Soldiers was He Yu’s mission.

In such a barren land, being able to conscript an Earth Immortal was already somewhat of an achievement, just enough for him to report back, but naturally, he would prefer to conscript as many cannon fodders as possible.

“My lord, indeed, apart from me, the Bloodthirsty Sect still has two other True Immortals and True Demons.”

“However, they left the sect for overseas some days ago.”

“If everything goes smoothly with their tasks, they should return in about ten days to half a month; if any unexpected delay occurs, staying out for a year or even two is also not out of the question.” Chen Hai explained while giving a fist salute to He Yu.

He had always presented himself as a member of the Bloodthirsty Sect in front of He Yu, without ever mentioning the Black Water Lineage.

The reason was simple: he wanted to conceal the existence of the Black Water Lineage and keep the people of the Heavenly Mansion, like He Yu, from knowing about it.

Earlier, as soon as he felt the arrival of this Spirit Boat and sensed the terrifying strength on it, he immediately made the Black Water Immortal Mountain disappear into the void.

At that time, He Yu’s Spirit Boat was probably still hundreds of miles away.

The disappearance of Black Water Immortal Mountain, subtly under Chen Hai’s manipulation, only caused a faint stir; judging by He Yu’s response now, it seemed they had overlooked it and had not noticed anything.

“Not within the sect, went overseas?” Staring directly at Chen Hai, He Yu’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, as if trying to see through him completely.

He seemed to somewhat disbelieve Chen Hai’s explanation; snorting lightly, he flipped his large hand, and a copper mirror about a yard in size appeared in his hand.

He took the mirror and gently shook it towards the region below where the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect was located.

This mirror, known as the All Living Beings Mirror, was an auxiliary Immortal Artifact.

Although this artifact had no offensive capabilities, it could reflect a general idea of the various creatures’ strengths and weaknesses within a certain range.

This time, He Yu had taken on the task of coming to Golden Dawn Island to conscript cannon fodder; to prevent some from hiding and not presenting themselves, he had specially borrowed this All Living Beings Mirror from the Heavenly Mansion’s treasury.

“What a bunch of useless creatures, to be called the top sect in the West Barbarian Mountain territory, yet apart from you, not even a single True Immortal or True Demon could be found!”

“””Swinging his gaze over the mountain gate of the Bloodthirsty Sect and the surrounding territory, He Yu used the All Living Beings Mirror and sensed the general situation of the cultivators within this territory. He didn’t notice anything unusual, which displeased him, and he huffed softly.

Although Chen Hai mentioned that the other two True Immortals and True Demons of the Bloodthirsty Sect might return to the Sect from overseas without any mishaps in ten days to half a month,

it was quite unlikely that He Yu and his team would wait such a long time just for a few dispensable sacrifices.

In a place like West Barbarian Mountain with its sparse spiritual energy, staying any longer would make He Yu and his team feel exceedingly unwelcome.

“Forget it, in this remote and impoverished place, being able to recruit one Earth Immortal is already worth the trip.”

“Let’s navigate the flying boat, make another round within the West Barbarian Mountain territory.”

“It would be best if we could gain more, but if we really can’t recruit anyone, we’ll just head back home.”

Frowning slightly, He Yu waved his hand, dismissively gesturing to Chen Hai and instructed his subordinates.

Feeling a bit relieved in his heart, Chen Hai found a spot on the deck of the Spirit Boat and settled down.

Honest to speak, when He Yu took out the All Living Beings Mirror and scanned the land below, Chen Hai was extremely nervous, his heart leaping to his throat.

If He Yu were to discover the existence of Black Water Immortal Mountain, Chen Hai truly didn’t know how he would cope!

After all, the current He Yu was unfathomably powerful.

On deck, the forcibly recruited Heavenly Immortals alone numbered several dozen.

These individuals, possessing such power, all behaved obediently as if they had accepted their fate. One could imagine how fearsome He Yu’s power was.

Chen Hai might call himself the strongest in the West Barbarian Mountain territory, but honestly, he was still a tad short of reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

With his current strength, resisting He Yu would be no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Fortunately, Chen Hai was lucky. The ancient cave mansion of Black Water Immortal Mansion remained mysteriously hidden in the void and went unnoticed by He Yu.

This way, although he was forcibly recruited, his wife Ye Qingqing and his disciples could still maintain their tranquility.

With these people around, even if Chen Hai were to lie down every day, his power and realm could still progress rapidly.

After being forcibly enlisted to the Third Vanguard Camp of the Heavenly Mansion, on his own, free from attachments, it would be much more convenient for him to do anything he desired.

Receiving He Yu’s order, the Spirit Boat which had been hovering above the space where the Bloodthirsty Sect was located for a while, slowly started and prepared to continue moving forward.

He Yu, who had been sitting in the center of the Spirit Boat deck on a Taishi Chair, stood up and walked to the edge of the deck at some point.

He never put away the All Living Beings Mirror taken out earlier.

Whether out of boredom or duty, he held the bronze mirror and waved it aimlessly towards the distance.

Unintentionally, he suddenly saw two bright spots appearing on the surface of the mirror.

Those two light points kept moving and seemed to be rapidly approaching the Spirit Boat where He Yu was.

“These are Heavenly Immortals…”

“In a barren place like the West Barbarian Mountain territory, there are actually Heavenly Immortals hiding?”

“I’m quite lucky to be able to recruit two Heavenly Immortals here; this trip can finally be deemed perfectly complete.”

With a face full of joy, He Yu turned around and gazed into the void behind the flying boat.”””
