Chapter 147 Licking the Bottom of the Pot Leads to Breakthrough in Immortal King Realm! The New Darling of the Courtyard's Lower Class

Holy Lord Zixiao and the Nine Nether Devil Emperor, two peerless giants who would normally cause a massive earthquake in the Central Continent with a single stomp of their feet, were now sprawled in front of that iron pot without any shred of dignity. Two people, four hands, desperately scraping the layer of black residue left at the bottom of the pot.

"Don't snatch it! I scraped this piece of crust off first!" Holy Lord Zixiao's face was covered in black soot as he stuffed a charred piece of residue mixed with dirt into his mouth, swallowing it without even chewing.

The Nine Nether Devil Emperor's eyes were red with anxiety. He stuck out his tongue and licked the edge of the iron pot frantically. "You old geezer, what do you know?! This pot's bottom has condensed the strongest essence of the Nirvana Divine Fire and the chaos life-devouring fungus! One lick is worth a hundred thousand years of bitter cultivation in the Demon Abyss!"

The two of them were like stray dogs that hadn't eaten for eight hundred years, forcefully licking that iron pot until it was shinier than when it had first come out of the forge.

The moment the last bit of soup residue entered their stomachs.

"Boom—!!!"

Within the bodies of Holy Lord Zixiao and the Nine Nether Devil Emperor, a terrifying roar erupted simultaneously, like the creation of the Universe!

Both of them had been stuck at the True Immortal Great Perfection for thousands of years. In the Law system of the Shenhuang Continent, reaching the True Immortal Peak was already the limit of a Mortal's cultivation, with a lifespan equal to the heavens.

As for the legendary Immortal King Realm, which could create a domain with a single thought and control the Laws of a region, it was a nebulous Realm that only existed in the myths of the Upper Realm!

But now!

The supreme fortune contained in that pot residue turned into an incomparably overbearing giant axe of creation, violently shattering the indestructible Realm barriers within their bodies!

"Buzz!"

Behind Holy Lord Zixiao, a phantom of a vast and boundless Purple Qi Immortal Domain emerged!

Beneath the Nine Nether Devil Emperor's feet, a miniature Demonic Path Immortal Kingdom of mountains of corpses and seas of blood directly evolved!

Creating a domain with a single thought! An Immortal King descends!

"Immortal King Realm... We actually... really broke through to the legendary Immortal King Realm?!"

Holy Lord Zixiao stared blankly at his hands, feeling the terrifying power within him that was enough to easily level the entire Central Continent. He was so excited that old tears streamed down his face.

The Nine Nether Devil Emperor was also trembling violently. He suddenly turned his head toward the direction of Qingyun City outside Qingfeng Mountain, his eyes filled with extreme reverence and fanaticism.

"Just a mouthful of pot residue left over by the Lord has created two Immortal Kings! The Lord's Realm... I'm afraid it has long surpassed the understanding of this Universe!"

"Not good!" Holy Lord Zixiao suddenly slapped his thigh. "I was so focused on licking the pot! The Lord and the others have already returned to the city. We still have to go to the school entrance and pretend to pick up the children! If we're late and the Lord thinks we're irresponsible parents, it'll be all over!"

"Run!"

The two newly born Immortal Kings, enough to drive the Shenhuang Continent into a frenzy, didn't even have time to brush the soot off their clothes. They turned into two streaks of light and rushed toward Qingyun City in a panic.

...

At dusk, outside the Mortal Dwelling.

Lin Yuan brought the five little ones, carrying a basket of mushrooms, and slowly returned to his doorstep.

Outside the door, Holy Lord Zixiao, dressed in ragged peasant clothes, and the Nine Nether Devil Emperor, dressed as a hunter, were waiting there, sweating profusely and panting. To avoid exposing their newly broken-through Immortal King auras, the two of them suppressed their cultivation to the death, their faces turning red from the effort.

"Father!"

"Uncle!"

The children happily threw themselves into their parents' arms.

"Old sirs, what were you two doing? Why are your faces covered in soot?" Lin Yuan looked at the two parents' faces, which looked like calico cats, and asked with some confusion.

Holy Lord Zixiao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly wiped his face with a silly smile. "In response to the teacher, today I... I went to help someone fire a kiln, so I got a bit dirty."

"Oh, making a living isn't easy. Goudan and Tiezhu performed very well in the wild today and learned about many plants. Take them back to wash their hands and get some rest early." Lin Yuan said gently.

"Thank you for your teachings, Teacher!"

The two parents bowed repeatedly, preparing to take the children and leave.

Suddenly, the Nine Nether Devil Emperor's gaze fell on the rattan basket by Old Wan's feet, as well as the little white cat Lin Yuan was holding in his arms.

"Boom!"

His perception as an Immortal King Realm powerhouse allowed him to recognize the true identities of these two pets in an instant!

That "featherless chicken" rubbing its bald head against the edge of the basket was surprisingly circulating pure Nirvana Divine Fire of the Half-Step Immortal Emperor level!

And the seemingly docile little white cat in Lin Yuan's arms... The Nine Nether Devil Emperor swallowed hard, his scalp tingling. That was clearly a peerless Vicious Beast that also contained the Laws of the Immortal King Great Perfection, a Four-Winged Chaos Tiger!

"Teacher... that, that cat in your arms is..." Holy Lord Zixiao asked stutteringly.

"Oh, you mean this little fellow." Lin Yuan stroked the little white cat's chin, causing it to let out a series of pleasing purrs. "A stray cat I picked up in the mountains today. It looks quite well-behaved, so I brought it back to catch mice. And this free-range chicken, I brought it back to lay eggs."

Catching mice?! Laying eggs?!

Making a great demon of the Immortal King Great Perfection catch mice, and making a divine phoenix of the Half-Step Immortal Emperor level lay eggs?!

The two parents felt their legs go weak and almost knelt on the spot. The bit of pride and complacency they had from just breaking through to the Immortal King Realm was crushed to pieces by Lin Yuan at this moment.

In the Teacher's eyes, the Immortal King Realm... was only fit to catch mice in the courtyard!

"The Teacher is merciful... We shall take our leave first!" The two didn't dare to look another second, tucking their tails and pulling their children as they fled.

...

Night fell.

In the backyard of the Mortal Dwelling, Lin Yuan casually built a coop for the bald chicken using a few bamboo stalks and found a broken porcelain bowl for the little white cat to use as a bed.

"Alright, Old Wan, it's been a long day. Let's get some rest early."

Lin Yuan yawned and walked back to his master bedroom.

Lying on the soft bed, Lin Yuan rested his hands behind his head and looked at the bright moon outside the window.

And after Lin Yuan's breathing became steady.

The entire Mortal Dwelling, the most terrifying forbidden land in the Myriad Realms, finally revealed its true face in the night!

"Buzz—"

In the center of the courtyard, the Primordial World Tree, which Lin Yuan used as a parasol, rustled its leaves without any wind, emitting terrifying fluctuations that suppressed eras.

In the pond, that pure-blooded Golden Dragon Emperor, treated as an ornamental fish, surfaced and coldly gazed at the newcomers in the courtyard.

Outside the main gate, the two acting as stone lions, Ancient Ancestor Yuanmo and Cangqiongzi, also opened their eyes, which flickered with divine light.

In the chicken coop.

That Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix tremblingly poked out its bald head.

In the broken bowl nearby, the Four-Winged Chaos Tiger also curled into a ball, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The two peerless great demons were now facing the heartless scrutiny of the "Seniors" in the courtyard.

In the birdcage hanging on the pavilion, the Purple Gold Wooden Bird (a pure-blooded Ancient True Phoenix) slowly opened its hollow wooden eyes, looking down at the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix in the chicken coop.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." (Even you deserve to be called a divine phoenix? Your feathers were all plucked clean by the Master. From now on, in this courtyard, you'll be called Baldy Chicken. Understand?)

The Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix nodded frantically in fear, letting out a series of "clucks" to indicate its absolute obedience to the organization's arrangements.

On top of the birdcage, the [system bead] acting as a night light was quietly emitting a soft white light. It knew its position very well—in this supreme forbidden courtyard, it was just a qualified, emotionless lighting tool.

"Meow..." (The water in this courtyard is too deep. We'd better just be honest pets from now on.)

The Four-Winged Chaos Tiger and the Baldy Chicken looked at each other. In this quiet and terrifying night, the two new low-level pets obediently closed their eyes and began their humble daily lives making a living in the Mortal Dwelling.
