Chapter 3 - IMMORTALS & QUALIFICATIONS

The moment they stood before the colossal Kunpeng Beast, the air itself seemed to collapse under its presence waves of pressure rolled off its towering form, making the ground beneath Zhou Yu and the others tremble. Its eyes, vast and ancient, locked onto them like they were nothing more than insects that had wandered too far into the sky.

A low voice rumbled through the domain.

"How… were you brought into my domain?"

Before anyone could respond, Zhou Yu suddenly grabbed his girlfriend's wrist.

"Run!"

He turned sharply, dragging her backward Wang fei followed but in an instant the kunpeng beast Waved its hands spiritual energy surrounded them it brought them back before him in front of the kunpeng beast they stood again it said

" I'll ask once more do this nonsense again and I'll kill all three of you "

Silence fell like a guillotine the girlfriend trembled, gripping Zhou Yu's arm tightly. Even he could feel his heartbeat pounding in his ears he said

"We… we don't know, ourselves "

For a moment, the Kunpeng Beast said nothing then its enormous form began to shift bones shrank, feathers dissolved into flowing light, and within seconds the monstrous silhouette collapsed inward—reforming into a tall man dressed in dark, ancient robes. His eyes, however, still held the same abyssal depth.

"So ignorant…"

he muttered.

"And yet you trespass into a domain where even emperors tread carefully."

He turned slightly, clasping his hands behind his back.

"In this world, there is only one rule. The strong define reality. The weak are defined by it. If I wish for the sky to fall, it falls. If I wish for you to disappear—you will never have existed."

Zhou Yu's expression tightened. His girlfriend looked pale, struggling to even process the weight of his words but before he could even continue outside the cave abode high above the fractured skies and immense aura pressed down like judgement a faint smile appeared on his face he said

" Let me show you what true authority is like "

As the Kunpeng Beast carried them out of the cave abode, they finally broke through the veil of darkness and emerged into the outside world what greeted them was not an open sky of endless void alone, but a vast, ancient wilderness stretching beyond the horizon.

Below them lay the Demonic Beast Mountain Range—a boundless forest of towering ancient trees, each one so large it looked like a pillar supporting the heavens. Thick mists coiled between the canopy, and distant roars echoed like thunder across the land. Every breath of air carried dense spiritual energy mixed with faint traces of bloodlust from countless roaming beasts.

This was a true hunting ground of survival.

Above this vast forest, a battle was already unfolding a man hovered mid-air, clashing violently with a colossal serpent-like demonic beast. Sword light split the sky as he moved with terrifying precision. With one final strike, the serpent's head was severed cleanly, and its massive body crashed down into the treetops below, shaking the entire mountain range.

The man calmly descended, retrieved the beast core, and stored it as though it were nothing remarkable.

Wang Fei's eyes widened in shock.

"He's flying… a human is actually flying."

Lu Yu frowned deeply. "Impossible "

Before she could finish, the Kunpeng Beast gave a cold snort.

"You know nothing."

The sect master, observing quietly, spoke as he collected the serpent core drifting in the air.

"Gold kunpeng, it's been three hundred years since we last saw each other If you intended to attack, you should have done so from the shadows. That display was unnecessary."

In the next instant, space warped the Kunpeng Beast teleported to him the sect master asked

" Since when did you mess around with mortals"

Gold kunpeng

" Look again "

He looked at them what about these people were special then he noticed the clothes they wore were not like the ones people on azure dragon expanse wore he said

" You three your not from this planet are you"

They nodded but before he could continue Wang fei scoffed he said

Flying around acting superior… what a show-off."

The words were careless but the moment they left his mouth the swordsman's gaze snapped onto him a terrifying pressure ignited wang Fei froze mid-breath.

A flicker of flame-like intent gathered at the tip of the man's sword.

But before it could descend the Kunpeng Beast moved instantly, blocking the pressure with a wave of its hand.

"Enough,"

it said coldly.

"He is not worth your attention."

He turned to Wang fei

" If you don't know what to say you better keep shut "

The flying swordsman was named mu yong and he was the sect master of the celestial heaven sect a major sect in the eastern continent he spoke to the young man who made a rude comment to him

" Maybe because you think I'm a bit younger say how old do you think I am "

After seeing how the man could kill him effortlessly he dare not behave rudely to him again he lowered his head while he " thirty" the man laughed he said

" This year I will be three hundred and seventeen "

Immediately three of them were stunned again Zhou yu said

" How do you look that young "

Mu yong looked at him and saw that he was full of injuries a faint smile appeared on his face he brought out an elixir from his treasure bag and gave it to the young man he told Zhou yu to take it and when he did all his injuries even the one he had gotten when he was a bit younger healed up he was stunned mu yong said

" If that's possible,then a lot is possible "

The young man said

" Please we would like to return to our world ,I don't think we can live here "

Mu yong frowned he said

" I'm sorry to say none of that is possible right now , there are two ways to leave this planet one is to wait for once in a hundred years when the planet protective atmosphere opens up by that time any high level cultivator could leave this planet or the second is to cultivate to the celestial realm then you could fly and leave this planet directly "

The boy asked

" Can't a person who has reach that stage take us , please Mister we would really like to return "

Mu yong gaze became cold

" It is possible but why should a celestial realm master waste how many years to take you back to your planet then waste how many years to return im sorry to say if you want to leave you'll have to do it yourself "

It was right now they knew all these people weren't benevolent if they could not help themselves there was no hope of ever returning mu yong continued

" If any one of you three can reach the celestial realm in this life you may return "

Wang fei said in a low voice

" My house , my car it's all gone "

And so the three of them agreed and mu yong said he would guide them if they had the potential he sought to check when he went to Wang fei he opened his spiritual eye and put his hands on his forehead a smile appeared on his face he said

" The high grade talent , I'll overlook your previous mistakes and take you as a disciples "

He lowered his head and said

" Thank you"

He went to the young lady and did the same this time he was even more happier he said

" The dreampearl constitution"

Immediately the golden kunpeng wanted to grab her but my yong made a finger motion and she appeared behind him he said

" They're all mine , besides where are you going keep them in a cave they're not beasts"

Gold kunpeng said

" If I knew she was a constitution you would have never seen her "

He went to zhou yu and did the same only now did he frown he said

" You have no qualifications "
