âMay I know your name, general?â Li Qingshan asked.
âOthers call me General Butcher, some call me General Killgod, and some call me General Maniac. However, I like others to call me General Bailâ General Bai chuckled and said.
Li Qingshan immediately paid his respects and said, âGreetings, General Bai!â
âNo need for so many formalities. Youâre not a soldier under my command, nor are you a member of the Celestial Court. We can converse as equals.â General Bai waved his hand, and a gust of wind helped Li Qingshan up. He easily suppressed Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan was amazed at the power of General Bai.
However, upon closer thought, if he werenât formidable, how could he become a general and acquire so many titles?
âWhatâs your name?â General Bai asked.
âLi Qingshan!â Li Qingshan replied.
âWhatâs the situation in the Human World now?â General Bai asked again.
âThe situation in the Human World isnât good.â Li Qingshan directly recounted the happenings in the Human World. There was no need to conceal anything as, with the appearance of the Gate of Immortality, more and more people ascended. The affairs of the Human World were impossible to hide.
General Bai listened to Li Qingshanâs account and remained calm. No one knew what he was thinking about. Finally, he said, âSo many things have happened Human World in the past 20 ,ooo years. You are the first person in the past 20,000 years to open the Gate of Immortality by yourself. Unfortunately, you have come to the wrong place.â
âGeneral Bai, when I arrived, I noticed the soldiers staring at me in surprise, wondering why someone would enter at this time. Yet, you say Iâve come to the wrong place. Why is that?â Li Qingshan asked in confusion. Was this Emperorâs Pass very dangerous?
Li Qingshan muttered in his heart, âWhy does it feel like thereâs going to be a war, a difficult and arduous battle?â
âIf it was any other time, it wouldnât be a big deal for you to come to the Emperor Pass. But unfortunately, now is not to right time. The Emperorâs Pass defensive battle is about to start. All the Emperorâs Passes will be sealed, not allowing anyone to leave. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to leave the Emperorâs Pass for quite some Time.â General Bai shook his head and said.
âEmperorâs Pass defensive battle?â Li Qingshan frowned. As expected, a war was about to break out in this place.
In a great battle between Immortals, all the soldiers were Human Immortals, so the power must be very terrifying. For Li Qingshan, this was a daunting beginning.
If things went awry, he might end up dying in this Emperorâs Pass defensive battle.
âIn the region governed by the Celestial Court, thereâs a place on the border where it meets the Monster Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Hell. Itâs also known as the Land of Four Battles. Several top forces have built cities here. We, the Celestial Court, have constructed eighty-one Emperorâs Pass. The place youâre in now is the 81st Emperorâs Pass!â
âWhen others attack, we will defend. This is called the Emperorâs Pass defensive battle.â
âHowever, in the past, it was only one or at most two factions attacking, so the pressure wasnât significant.â
âBut this time, the three factions have joined forces to attack the Emperorâs
Pass. This Emperorâs Pass defensive battle is going to be extremely difficult.
Thatâs why the teleportation formations are sealed and allow entry but not exit. I didnât expect an accident like you to happen.â General Bai pointed at Li Qingshan and said.
Li Qingshanâs face darkened immediately.
His journey to the Immortal Plane could be considered the beginning of the hellish difficulty.
General Bai burst into hearty laughter when he saw Li Qingshanâs face darken. He wasnât surprised at all. Anyone who heard this news would have their face darkened.
âIâll give you 1000 crystals later. Now, you have to make a choice. Do you want to join the Celestial Court or become a wandering cultivator, exploring on your own?â General Bai asked immediately after he finished laughing.
Li Qingshan gave General Bai a resentful look and said, âDo I have a choice?â
âYes, if you donât join the Celestial Court, I will arrange a house for you. You can stay here and leave after the Emperorâs Pass defensive battle is over,â General Bai said.
âProvided that Iâm still alive by then,â Li Qingshan muttered in his heart.
âGeneral Bai, when I arrived, I heard from the soldiers that there will be military merits for participating in the defensive battle of the Emperorâs Pass.â Li Qingshan asked.
âOf course. Once the defensive battle of the Emperorâs Pass starts, as long as you kill the enemies bravely, the rewards of the Celestial Court are very generous. You will be rewarded with 1,000 Immortal Crystals for killing one enemy, and 2,000 Immortal Crystals for killing two enemies. There is no upper limit,â General Bai said.
âAnd if you win the battle you participated in, you will be promoted. This is how I became a general.â General Bai pointed at himself and said.
Li Qingshan asked seriously. âWhen will the Emperorâs Pass defensive battle start?â
âI donât know about that, because we are the defenders. The initiative is in their hands. When to fight is up to them, not us.â General Bai shook his head.
âGeneral Bai, if I join the Celestial Court, what rewards can I expect?â Li Qingshan sought benefits for himself.
Given the current situation, he had to strengthen himself as much as possible.
âIf you join the Celestial Court, I wonât arrange any other tasks for you. You can serve as my personal guard and live in this courtyard. As a newcomer, if you have any questions, you can come to me. Iâll clarify them for you. Also, you can read the books in my mansion as you wish, but my study is off-limits without my permission.â General Bai slapped the table and said to Li Qingshan.
General Bai highly valued Li Qingshan, and Li Qingshan was very satisfied with what he offered.
âI pay my respects to the general!â Li Qingshan stood up and lowered his head slightly, accepting the arrangement.
General Bai nodded in satisfaction and said, âYouâve just entered the Immortal Plane. I wonât arrange anything else for you right now. First, convert the spiritual Qi in your body into Immortal Energy. Then, familiarize yourself with the knowledge of the Immortal Plane and enhance your strength. Perhaps at some point, these improvements in cultivation might save your life.â General Bai patted Li Qingshanâs shoulder and said..n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
