Chapter 482: Can You Run Away?

“Run? Can you run away?”

Li Xiaojun smiled lightly, and in the next moment, his voice vanished again.

Soon, he appeared next to another Golden Immortal of the Beast Tribe.

In the next instant, a scorpion was caught in Li Xiaojun’s hand.

He gave it a gentle squeeze, and the power of the Taiyi Golden Immortal surged into the scorpion’s sea of souls, quickly obliterating its spirit.

With a flip of his hand, the scorpion’s corpse disappeared.

At the same time, Li Xiaojun’s figure vanished once more.

“Elder, I was wrong! I’m willing to be your servant! Please let me go…”

A Golden Immortal of the Beast Tribe, seeing Li Xiaojun appear beside him, trembled and begged for mercy.

“I didn’t plan to kill you, but I didn’t expect you to come right to me, so you can’t blame me,” Li Xiaojun said lightly, showing no mercy in his actions.

He used to think that although there weren’t many beasts in the Immortal Realm, they didn’t affect him.

He also couldn’t spend all his time searching for these Golden Immortals of the Beast Tribe, as that would take a lot of time.

Now, however, these Golden Immortals had come to his doorstep.

He wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

Unfortunately, the veteran Golden Immortal of the Qingzhi Tribe hadn’t arrived; otherwise, he could have captured all the beasts’ Golden Immortals in one go.

Sometimes, it was better for the Human Race to kill each other than to be slain by outsiders.

…

In the starry sky, Mo Qianqiu watched in disbelief as Li Xiaojun killed five Golden Immortals of the Beast Tribe in less than a cup of tea’s time.

“Is this really mid-Golden Immortal?”

Mo Qianqiu deeply questioned whether Li Xiaojun’s cultivation was truly mid-Golden Immortal.

In Mo Qianqiu’s eyes, Li Xiaojun was simply terrifying.

His actions in killing five Golden Immortals were so effortless.

In Li Xiaojun’s hands, the five Golden Immortals of the Beast Tribe were like ants, offering no resistance at all.

Before long, Li Xiaojun returned to Mo Qianqiu’s side after dealing with the five Golden Immortals.

At that moment, Li Xiaojun’s group of children also flew over.

“Elder…” Mo Qianqiu looked at Li Xiaojun with awe.

He wanted to ask if Li Xiaojun was a late Golden Immortal, but didn’t know how to phrase it.

“What do you want to say?” Li Xiaojun asked, smiling at Mo Qianqiu.

Hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Mo Qianqiu finally inquired, “Elder, are you truly mid-Golden Immortal?”

Before Li Xiaojun could respond, his group of children burst into laughter.

“Elder Mo, who told you that my dad’s cultivation level is mid-Golden Immortal?” Li Yufei smiled and asked Mo Qianqiu.

“I asked if he was mid-Golden Immortal, and he said it was about right,” Mo Qianqiu quickly replied.

He remembered this clearly.

“My dad said it was about right, but that doesn’t mean he is mid-Golden Immortal,” Li Yufei said playfully.

“Ah? Could it be that he is a late Golden Immortal?” Mo Qianqiu asked eagerly.

If Li Xiaojun were a late Golden Immortal, it would explain why he killed a few early Golden Immortal beasts as easily as killing chickens.

“Elder Mo, you can guess bolder,” Li Yufei said, shaking her head with a smile.

“Is the elder at great perfection in the Golden Immortal Realm?” Mo Qianqiu asked in surprise.

Great perfection in the Golden Immortal Realm is akin to the ninth level of Qi Training compared to the seventh level.

Entering the seventh level of Qi Training signifies being at the late Qi-refining stage, while reaching great perfection in Qi Training means being at the ninth level, ready for Foundation Establishment.

Great perfection in the Golden Immortal Realm means something similar.

If Li Xiaojun is at great perfection in the Golden Immortal Realm, that would be incredibly impressive to Mo Qianqiu.

“Elder Mo, be even bolder in your guesses,” Li Yufei continued to smile.

“Could it be a realm above Golden Immortal?” Mo Qianqiu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Elder Mo guessed correctly! My dad is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, which is one major realm above Golden Immortal,” Li Yufei said to Mo Qianqiu with a proud expression.

“Taiyi Golden Immortal, so after Golden Immortal comes Taiyi Golden Immortal…”

Mo Qianqiu looked at Li Xiaojun with even more awe.

Regardless of whether Li Xiaojun was truly a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the fact that he could casually kill five Golden Immortal beasts indicates that he could easily do the same to Mo Qianqiu.

Therefore, no matter what cultivation level Li Xiaojun had, he was not someone Mo Qianqiu could provoke.

Fortunately, Li Xiaojun was a member of the Human Race, and there were no conflicts of interest between them.

Mo Qianqiu immediately decided that he must avoid doing anything that would anger Elder Li, and he would fulfill any of Elder Li’s commands without delay.

He also wanted to be of help to Elder Li’s children whenever they asked for assistance.

At this moment, Mo Qianqiu’s mindset had completely changed.

In the past, he respected Li Xiaojun because he was saved by him and helped to break through to Golden Immortal.

Out of gratitude for being saved, he naturally respected him.

However, as a fellow Golden Immortal, he used to think he was not much inferior to Li Xiaojun.

Now, aside from respect, all he felt for Li Xiaojun was fear.

On the other hand, seeing Mo Qianqiu’s shocked expression, Li Xiaojun’s children laughed.

They felt very proud of Mo Qianqiu’s surprise.

…

Days later, the departing human Profound Immortals and True Immortals returned.

They received word from Mo Qianqiu that the beast tribe problem had been resolved, and they could return to observe the tribulation.

Experiencing the Golden Immortal tribulation was also very important for Profound Immortal cultivators; it was an opportunity to learn, and they certainly could not miss it.

In addition to the returning human Profound Immortal powerhouses and some True Immortal cultivators, Jiang Nuoxi, who had been thrown out by Mo Qianqiu, also returned, accompanied by her teacher Hu Yanxue.

As she approached the nearby interstellar teleportation array, she happened to run into her teacher Hu Yanxue who had just teleported over.

Hu Yanxue had been in deep seclusion, so she couldn’t come right away but had only now arrived.

“Elder Li, I apologize for the trouble! My disciple is a bit mischievous. I’ll take her back right after the Golden Immortal tribulation ends,” Hu Yanxue said, cupping her hands in apology to Li Xiaojun.

She believed her disciple had returned with hopes of enjoying the last event, much like before.

Last time, when Li Xiaojun hosted a banquet, Jiang Nuoxi had received many precious spiritual items, so she came again to watch someone undergo the Golden Immortal tribulation.

Hu Yanxue guessed correctly; Jiang Nuoxi did have that idea, and she was very happy to see Li Xiaojun’s children undergoing tribulation.

However, Hu Yanxue was worried that Li Xiaojun would be upset, so she immediately apologized to him.

Hearing Hu Yanxue’s words, Li Xiaojun smiled and waved his hand, “It’s fine. Your disciple is very bold, and I quite like her character. There’s no need to feel embarrassed.”

Li Xiaojun genuinely liked Jiang Nuoxi’s personality.

It was quite brave for a human immortal to join in on the excitement of a Golden Immortal tribulation.

Yet, upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Jiang Nuoxi replied, “Elder, I’m not being bold. The reason I dared to watch the Golden Immortal tribulation is that we are on our own land. If the tribulation took place on the beasts’ territory, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to join in the fun.”
