After an unknown period, Yun Fan quietly awoke.
Upon waking, he realized he had arrived in an unknown place.
Soon, he discovered that the immortal energy here was incredibly dense, far beyond anything in his own world.
In his world, the suppression of rules left no room for immortal energy, let alone divine energy. In fact, what was called divine energy was merely a slightly stronger form of cultivation power, nowhere near the level of this so-called immortal energy.
Furthermore, this world had no such thing as rule suppression. From this, he could deduce that this was the Immortal Realm.
At this moment, he could not sense Bi Yao's presence. Thus, he struggled to his feet, a bold idea forming in his mind.
It was to leave the Immortal Realm and return to his own world. Although he would eventually take this step, it was not yet time.
However, he soon found himself in a predicament, as he had absolutely no idea how to return.
"Damn it!"
Yun Fan was extremely unwilling. He knew he could return, but now he had no opportunity at all.
So, he dragged his weary body forward, unaware of what lay ahead or behind, simply moving forward aimlessly.
But he knew that coming to the Immortal Realm, one thing was crucial: no matter how powerful he was in the God Realm, he had to be as low-key as possible in the Immortal Realm.
After all, he hadn't even reached the True Immortal realm. In this world, he was undoubtedly at the bottom rung.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before him. Before he could even get a good look at the person, he was struck unconscious by a palm.
Yes, someone as powerful as an Immortal-level being was knocked out by a single palm. No one would believe it, but in the Immortal Realm, this was normal.
And so, he tragically fainted.
When he awoke again, he found himself confined in a prison cell.
"Imprisoned as soon as I arrive in the Immortal Realm?"
Yun Fan was utterly dejected. This was absurd! No one could be more unlucky than him.
"You're awake?"
The person who entered was a man. Though he appeared to be a gentleman, Yun Fan disliked him.
"Who are you?"
As Yun Fan spoke, the man interrupted, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why did you trespass into the forbidden grounds of my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?"
"Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?"
Yun Fan was stunned. The name sounded incredibly powerful, suggesting it was a formidable force.
Yun Fan quickly explained, "I merely wandered in by mistake, with no ill intentions!"
"Hmph!"
The other party snorted, "Even if you had ill intentions, you wouldn't have the strength. You haven't even reached True Immortal!"
"Since I don't have the strength, why are you keeping me imprisoned?"
Yun Fan asked, suppressing his anger. Having just arrived in this world, he was like a low-level character. For now, he had to endure. "Do not bully a young man for his lack of strength; one day, he will be beyond your reach."
The man said, "Because my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is in need of slaves, and you are perfectly suitable!"
Alright! This was more than just imprisonment; he had become a slave.
Yun Fan asked, "What will I be doing as a slave?"
"You're quite self-aware, aren't you? Adapting to your new role so quickly?"
The other party looked at him playfully.
"Do I have a choice?"
Yun Fan was speechless. One day, he would kill this man. To make the dignified Demon Ancestor a slave! But for now, he had to remain low-key. With his talent, he would surely make a name for himself in the Immortal Realm eventually.
It was only a matter of time.
The man said, "From today onwards, you are under my command. You will primarily do odd jobs in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. You will do as I instruct!"
"Alright! I understand! Let me out!"
Yun Fan stated directly.
"Very good! A slave should have the awareness of a slave!"
"By the way, what should I call you?"
In response to Yun Fan's question, he said, "My name is Feng Chenzi, but from today on, you can only call me Steward!"
Upon hearing the word "Steward," Yun Fan almost burst into laughter. Perhaps there were no eunuchs in the Immortal Realm.
At this point, Feng Chenzi said to him, "You are merely a slave. You must know these rules. If you break any of them, you will be killed on the spot!"
Yun Fan was seething internally but could only take the rules and examine them.
Feng Chenzi said, "Let's go, humble slave!"
Originally, he intended to seal Yun Fan's cultivation to fully control him as a slave. However, upon seeing that Yun Fan wasn't even a True Immortal, he abandoned this idea.
Outside, Yun Fan finally experienced the magnificent grandeur of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Here, the immortal energy was even more potent, and he saw many powerful beings flying on swords or riding immortal beasts.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace likely housed tens of thousands of people, and among them were no shortage of powerful individuals.
And he, at this moment, didn't even know the realm of True Immortal.
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Yun Fan noticed that Feng Chenzi bowed to every disciple he encountered, indicating Feng Chenzi's rather ordinary status.
Yet, this mediocre fool held a higher position than him. What could he do? He was also in despair!
While he was lost in thought, Feng Chenzi lashed out with a whip, striking him.
"When you see any of the esteemed Immortals, you are not even allowed to raise your head, understand?"
Feng Chenzi roared at him.
"Yes, Steward, I understand!"
Yun Fan nodded, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.
For now, it was not the time to openly clash with Feng Chenzi.
Following that, Yun Fan was taken to the slave area that served the esteemed Immortals. He discovered that life for slaves here was truly miserable.
They were denied the right to cultivate and were subjected to insults by the so-called esteemed Immortals. Instantly, Yun Fan developed a complete lack of positive impression towards the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
Several slaves had already died, their bodies carried away by other slaves. Clearly, these were slaves who had died as a result of punishment.
Yun Fan watched with a racing heart. Here, as long as one was an esteemed Immortal, they could arbitrarily decide the life and death of these slaves.
Subsequently, Feng Chenzi dumped Yun Fan in this area and left.
Before departing, he instructed Yun Fan to report to him the next day for his assigned tasks.
Yun Fan found a place to sit. The surroundings were dirty and chaotic, but he accepted it. At this moment, a man in tattered clothes next to him asked, "Brother, are you new here?"
"Yes."
Yun Fan replied, "I just reported today!"
"Then you're finished!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan asked, confused. The man did not answer but quickly moved away from Yun Fan, as if afraid of being associated with him.
Yun Fan was completely baffled by this behavior.
However, in the next moment, he understood. Over a dozen people surrounded him.
Their eyes revealed a fierce glint.
Yun Fan asked, "What do you want?"
"Kid, you're new. You must have some good stuff on you. Hand it over, and I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, you'll suffer greatly!" Su Dan Fiction Network
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan said coldly, "I have nothing good on me. Get lost!"
"Brothers, attack!"
In the next instant, over a dozen people charged at Yun Fan, intending to beat him severely.
Yun Fan was enraged. These guys refused to listen. Although they possessed some strength, they were no match for him.
So, he charged into the crowd, and these people were easily beaten down.
Soon, over a dozen men lay on the ground, groaning in pain, which terrified those who had been contemplating to join in.
They hadn't expected this newcomer to be so formidable.
Yun Fan clapped his hands, "Who else is not satisfied?"
At this moment, no one dared to speak. Just as he was about to sit down and elevate his strength to True Immortal, a force struck him, sending him flying.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were shattered. The attacker was none other than Feng Chenzi, a True Immortal.
"You're quite good at fighting, aren't you?"
The True Immortal roughly grabbed his collar. "Here, I am your heaven. Anyone who dares to fight privately will be killed by me!"
"Considering it's your first offense, I'll spare your wretched life this time!"
He cursed coldly.
Yun Fan, enduring the pain, said, "They attacked first!"
"Still daring to talk back?"
Feng Chenzi's killing intent flared. Yun Fan endured. He realized that although there was a gap between him and Feng Chenzi, if he could break through to True Immortal, he could definitely defeat Feng Chenzi. But until then, patience was the key.
"Hmph!"
Feng Chenzi snorted and left after tossing Yun Fan aside. The number of slaves was decreasing. If the tasks assigned by the esteemed Immortals were not completed daily, he would also be punished.
Therefore, that was the reason for his earlier intervention.
Despite Yun Fan being severely injured, the surrounding slaves still did not dare to attack him. After all, Yun Fan's strength had intimidated them earlier.
And so, Yun Fan spent the night. This night was the most desperate of his life.
The next day, his injuries had somewhat recovered, and he went to report to Feng Chenzi.
Feng Chenzi said, "Today, I'm taking you to see a very important figure to trim rare flowers and exotic plants. You had better not mess anything up, or I'll kill you!"
"Yes!"
Yun Fan nodded. At this moment, although his killing intent quickly dissipated, it was still detected by Feng Chenzi.
He had already harbored murderous intent towards Yun Fan, but it was a time when he needed personnel, so he could only spare Yun Fan's life for now.
Subsequently, he took Yun Fan to the Eighth Heaven Immortal Palace. Yun Fan was astonished. It was indeed a distinguished figure. The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace had a total of nine levels. Starting from the first level upwards, each subsequent level held higher status and strength than the one below.
This eighth level was already close to the ceiling of the Ninth Heaven, meaning it was the strongest existence just below the apex.
Truly a significant figure!
Someone like Feng Chenzi could only reside on the first level, while a slave like him could only live in the underground level.
Each level was vast and not connected to each other. When Feng Chenzi brought him to the eighth level, they had to pass through several checkpoints.
Then, he led Yun Fan to an elegant immortal courtyard.
"Esteemed Immortal, this humble one has brought a slave to trim the flowers and plants!"
At the entrance of the courtyard, Feng Chenzi bowed deeply, almost bending himself at a 180-degree angle.
At this moment, a maidservant emerged and said unceremoniously, "Understood. You can leave. The trimming will take three days. Come back to pick him up after three days!"
"Yes!"
Feng Chenzi quickly turned to leave. Before departing, he still warned Yun Fan, "Do not cause trouble for me, or I will not give you a chance to live!"
Yun Fan said nothing and followed the maidservant into the courtyard. Feng Chenzi was furious. Three days later, he would surely kill Yun Fan.
However, he did not know that three days later, it would be him who would be in trouble.
