Chapter 959: Chapter 401: Breaking Through the Undying, Conversation with a Profound Immortal_3
But today, seven years later, his confidence was full, for he had advanced to the Realm of the Undying Ancient Gods, and his nine forms of divine fire had all stepped into the Half Immortal Level. Even without using his Sword Control Skill, he was eighty percent assured of passing the assessment just by the power of the Ancient Gods Realm.
Han Yi stepped forward to register his information and then found a spot to sit down and regulate his breath.
A moment later.
A voice with hints of doubt rang in his ear, and at first listen, it sounded somewhat familiar,
“Han Yi?”
Following the sound, Han Yi looked up and saw a gaunt Taoist, and a name immediately surfaced in his mind.
“Duan Ji.”
The lean Taoist, Duan Ji, upon hearing Han Yi call his name, instantly confirmed that the cultivator before him was Han Yi. Because of this recognition, a look of shock was uncontrollable in his eyes as he blurted out,
“You… at the Spirit Transformation Peak Realm?”
As these words left his mouth, his brows raised since he knew that cultivators who came to participate in the Immortal Envoy Assessment and were at the Spirit Transformation level mostly possessed Half-immortal combat strength, otherwise they would not come here to waste their time.
In other words, Han Yi now possessed combat strength equal to his.
But ninety years ago, the other was just entering the Spirit Transformation phase. Less than a hundred years had passed, and he already boasted Half-immortal combat strength, these…
At this thought, Duan Ji’s heart skipped a beat.
Han Yi simply nodded without changing his expression and said nothing more.
The thin Taoist known as Duan Ji was a half-immortal who was in the same group as him back when they were in Immortal Mansion number seventy-eight in the Moon Shadow Spirit Camp. He was one of the cultivators chosen by the Immortal Palace alongside him.
“Brother Duan, have you completed the Immortal Mansion mission?”
Han Yi’s brows furrowed slightly; he remembered that according to the Immortal Palace’s requirements, half-immortal-level cultivators on duty in the Outer Domain Void needed a cycle of one hundred years, and by full count, it had only been ninety years since they set foot in the Eastern Void.
But he quickly realized that under the urgent mission at that time, the Moon Shadow Spirit Camp had gone to the battlefield. The first battle was at Dark Moon Sky Nexus, and then it was destroyed by the Abyss Demon Clan, spreading the cultivators apart. After they regrouped, they were relocated to Immortal Mansion number fifty-seven, then affected by the fight between three Golden Immortals of the Ninth Heavens and those of the Evil Clan, resulting in the fortress shattering and each seeking their own survival. Han Yi fell into the Chaotic Demon Area, fled back to the Immortal Realm, and presumably, Duan Ji had returned to the Immortal Realm in an unusual manner like himself, thus automatically terminating the Immortal Mansion mission.
Upon hearing Han Yi’s question, Duan Ji’s eyes flickered as he noticed Han Yi addressing him as a fellow Taoist, subtly indicating that Han Yi was confident in his own Half-immortal combat power.
However, Duan Ji did not doubt him but simply shook his head and answered, “After the catastrophe in the void, I was lucky to escape back to the Immortal Realm; consequently, the Immortal Mansion mission was naturally terminated.”
In front of Duan Ji, Han Yi seemed to think of something and inquired, “Brother Duan, have you participated in the Immortal Envoy Assessment before?”
Duan Ji replied, “I participated once twenty years ago, and I was going to join again ten years ago, but was delayed by other matters. This is my second time in the Immortal Envoy Assessment.”

“How about it, Han Yi, is this your first time participating?”
Han Yi nodded, “That’s correct.”
At the same time, he noticed Duan Ji addressing him by name, instead of as a fellow Taoist. Han Yi was not displeased by this.
Within the Immortal Mansion, under normal circumstances, higher-ranked cultivators would call lower-ranked cultivators by name, while the lower-ranked would use honorifics for the higher-ranked. However, if a lower-ranked cultivator addressed a higher-ranked as a fellow Taoist, it indicated that although their realm was lower, they believed their combat power was not weaker than the other’s.
A few years ago, when Li Zhengyang learned that Han Yi had slain several Half-immortals, he called him a fellow Taoist, which was his recognition of Han Yi’s strength, but at this moment Duan Ji did not do so, mainly because he had yet to see in Han Yi either the strength or battle achievements to match a Half-immortal.
Han Yi wanted to continue asking about the assessment, but just then, several Immortals emerged from deep within the Immortal Palace and approached the cultivators. Among these Immortals, Han Yi recognized one—the Nine Rings True Immortal he had met once at the Nine Circles Pavilion.
Besides the Nine Rings True Immortal, there were seven other True Immortals, and in front of these eight True Immortals stood two whose aura was obviously much superior.
Profound Immortals.
For the assessment of a First Grade Immortal Envoy, the presence of True Immortals alone was insufficient. To avoid any unforeseen incidents, typically two Profound Immortals would preside.
Han Yi had never seen these two Profound Immortals and did not know their names. As they stepped out, one of them scanned the cultivators with a gaze sharp as a blade, almost tangible, causing a stir in the hearts of all Half-immortals and the dozens of Spirit Transformation cultivators. Han Yi felt he was thoroughly scrutinized, and his heart tightened.
As the Profound Immortal’s gaze passed over Han Yi, there was an almost imperceptible pause, a detail not even the other True Immortals noticed, only the other Profound Immortal beside him. He looked towards Han Yi, and a flash of indescribable light crossed his eyes.
Han Yi, of course, remained unaware.
The first Profound Immortal withdrew his gaze and declared, “The time for the assessment has come, everyone, please follow me.”
He then produced an identification token, flicked it lightly, and a stream of Spirit Light shot out, landing on the tokens of all the cultivators. The tokens sparked with light that soared to the skies, teleporting all the cultivators away.
“You may go as well,” said the Profound Immortal. The eight True Immortals behind him echoed in agreement and teleported away.
After all the cultivators and True Immortals had left, the Profound Immortal finally turned to the other Profound Immortal and said,
“Did you see that? The young one, he has cultivated in the Ancient God System up to a half-step into the sixth order. He’s a promising seedling.”
“If he could enter ‘that place’, there might be a chance…”
The other Profound Immortal interrupted him, shaking his head, “There’s no chance. Over the years, even those who have come back from ‘that place’ have all succumbed to madness.”
“Now, the Supreme Law of the Immortal World does not permit the existence of Ancient Gods above the sixth order, which is the true Ancient Gods.”
“Let’s go.”
As soon as the words fell, the second Profound Immortal teleported away instantly. The first Profound Immortal sighed and then followed.
