Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1032 - Featherlight Immortal Envoy

Just as the crowd braced for a fierce battle, a distant roar of wind echoed, making their expressions stiffen.

Heads turned as a lone figure strolled forward.

This person had an extraordinary temperament and was dressed in long, white robes, untainted by even a speck of dust, showing the demeanor of a transcendent being.

Many wondered in their hearts, Someone’s coming! Who is he?

To appear at such a critical moment—could his arrival alter the course of battle?

Yet, the expressions of several veteran Legendary realm powerhouses abruptly shifted. Their gazes tightened, betraying recognition.

Zhang Daoling, Ji Huang, and Beishan Ling’s gazes also lit up violently.

The mysterious figure descended gracefully, his expression calm, unshaken.

To ordinary onlookers, he seemed ordinary, without the slightest fluctuation of cultivation. Yet, those attuned to the laws of heaven and earth felt a deep tremor in their souls.

They could sense the activity of the laws of heaven and earth around him. He seemed like the master of the laws, and the surrounding laws seemed to cheer for him.

Before the crowd could fully comprehend his identity, the older Legendary realm experts moved first. They cupped their fists, looking extremely respectful, and even showed fierce reverence toward him.

“Greetings to Featherlight Immortal Envoy.”

Veteran Invincible Legendary realm experts like Wu Dangkong, Yue Qingshan, and Mo Canglan stood up one after another almost instantly and bowed in greeting to him, showing utmost respect.

“Greetings to Featherlight Immortal Envoy.”

Not only did the veteran Legendary realm experts, some over a thousand years old, show respect, but even Ji Huang and Beishan Ling cupped their fists respectfully.

“Ji Huang greets Immortal Envoy.”

“Beishan Ling greets Immortal Envoy.”

This scene was too shocking.

What statuses did Ji Huang and Beishan Ling have? One was the head of the Ji Clan, while the other was the master of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. Both of them stood at the very pinnacle of the Tianwu Continent, towering over countless experts as Supreme Beings.

Normally, it was others who bowed to them.

Yet now, these two unmatched figures were bowing in unison to the white-robed man.

“Featherlight Immortal Envoy?!”

“I remember now, I know who he is! He is a true immortal!”

“Featherlight Immortal Envoy?! So, he is the Featherlight Immortal Envoy! They say the Tianwu Continent is merely a speck of dust among thousands of realms, collectively known as the Lower Realm. In contrast, the Upper Realm consists of the thirty-three heavenly domains, which are interconnected with the myriad realms. There, the laws are complete, cultivation bottlenecks are minimal, and progress comes easy. Our Tianwu Continent falls under the rule of an immortal sect from the Upper Realm known as the Featherlight Sect. Every thousand years, the immortal sect opens and individuals with extraordinary talent, granting them entry into the Upper Realm for cultivation.” [1]

“That’s right. Now that I think about it, more than nine hundred years have passed since the last opening of the immortal sect. It’s time for them to open their doors again. It’s said that an immortal envoy travels through the continent before the immortal sect opens in search for those with extraordinary talent, supreme constitutions, or powerful bloodlines—and bestows upon them the Immortal Draft Token.” [2]

“In that case, he’s here to give out the Immortal Draft Token?”

“That’s right! The Featherlight Immortal Envoy’s duty is to seek out monstrous talents that appeared on the continent and give them the token before the immortal sect opens. It signifies the sect’s strong interest in them. In most cases, eight or nine out of ten who receive it dominate the competition when the sect opens its gates, ascending to the heavens.”

“Doesn’t that mean that he... is a true immortal?”

“That’s right!”

“Hiss, hiss...”

Those words made the people come to a realization.

The relatively younger ones knew very little about the Featherlight Immortal Envoy.

However, for the older generation—especially those over a thousand years old—memories resurfaced instantly. As the realization hit, murmurs spread.

His appearance not only confirmed the presence of a peerless genius worthy of the immortal sect’s attention but also signaled that the sect would soon open its doors.

For the younger generation, largely ignorant of the thirty-three heavenly domain, the surrounding whispers shattered their worldview. Their minds went blank; they felt petrified.

They had once believed the Tianwu Continent was everything. Now, they realized they were mere frogs in a well, their sky no bigger than its opening, while the true world was vast beyond imagination.

Their Tianwu Continent was only a speck of dust among the thousands of realms below the thirty-three heavenly domains.

Of course, people like Chen Fan already knew some things about the thirty-three heavenly domains. Thus, they were not too surprised.

What truly shocked them was that the Featherlight Immortal Envoy was a true immortal.

What was a true immortal?

It meant integrating the laws of heaven and earth into your being, using them to condense an immortal platform, and ascending to immortality.

By contrast, a Void Immortal, despite carrying the title of immortal and possessing a trace of immortal might, was nowhere near comparable to a true immortal.

“Brother Yuan, it’s been a few hundred years. Have you been well?”

Unlike the respectful attitude shown by the crowd, Zhang Daoling acted much more casually, as if conversing with an equal.

The Featherlight Immortal Envoy nodded at Zhang Daoling with a smile, clearly familiar with Zhang Daoling, and said, “It’s been centuries, Brother Zhang. I didn’t expect you to be so close to that step. It won’t be long before you knock on the immortal sect’s gates and ascend. This one surnamed Yuan shall congratulate Brother Zhang in advance.”

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling’s expressions suddenly froze.

They instantly grasped the meaning behind the envoy’s words and couldn’t help but feel shaken. Zhang Daoling was seemingly just a step away from integrating the laws into his body and cultivating his immortal platform.

Once he succeeded, he would be rejected by the laws of the Tianwu Continent and forced to ascend to the thirty-three heavenly domains.

Naturally, they would not doubt the Featherlight Immortal Envoy’s words. After all, he was a true immortal who had cultivated his immortal platform.

Thinking of this, they felt incomparably shocked inside.

They had once believed themselves on par with Zhang Daoling, but now, the gap was undeniable.

No wonder he had been so unyielding today, not giving in an inch despite facing pressure from the two of them, and not even hesitating to fight them. He had never feared them joining forces.

Ji Huang and Beishan Ling exchanged glances, and both saw the shock in the other’s eyes.

Zhang Daoling was already on the verge of taking that final step—he was no longer on the same level. Even among Void Immortals, the disparity could be vast.

Zhang Daoling did not deny it and smiled. “I appreciate Brother Yuan’s kind words. I’m counting on that.”

1. The words for featherlight simply means ‘to become as light as a feather and ascend to heaven’ or ‘to become immortal’ ☜

2. The token’s name, when read literally, means to knock or kowtow to immortal. ☜
