I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Chapter 347 - True Immortal, At Last



Given how close City Lord Baschmi was to forging his True Immortal Body, Albion could tell that City Lord Baschmi would want another attempt.

Nevertheless, City Lord Baschmi made a forced smile after hearing Albion's words.

"What does it take to get another Immortal Ascension Pill from Sir Albion?" City Lord Baschmi asked.

"Hm?"

Albion raised an eyebrow before replying, "Didn't I mention it before? I'll take your city in exchange for the third pill."

City Lord Baschmi's smile stiffened at once.

The answer was obvious, but City Lord Baschmi held onto vain hopes that Albion could change his mind.

"Is there any other way, Sir Albion? The city is quite important to me."

"Important to you, huh?" Albion muttered before asking, "Do you have any children?"

"No…?"

City Lord Baschmi was baffled by the sudden question.

Nevertheless, Albion continued with his questions, "Do you have any family?"

"No…"

"Any successors?"

"No…"

"Bosom friends you will gladly give up your life for?"

"No."

City Lord Baschmi's frown deepened with every question, realizing how lonely he was, but at the same time, grew weary of Albion.

 The person wasn't trying to find his weakness to blackmail him, right?

But given Albion's strength, there's no need to.

Nevertheless, Albion quickly answered City Lord Baschmi's doubts with his following words, "You have no children, no family, no successor, and no friends; what the hell do you need your city for?"

"When you become True Immortal and ascend to the Nine Divine Heavens, you'll be leaving everything behind anyway. So what's the point of holding onto things that will no longer concern you?"

Albion's persuasive words enlightened City Lord Baschmi as realization seemed to have dawned on the person's face.

"You're right, Sir Albion. I wasn't thinking things through just now. It is as you say; I won't have any need for the city anymore once I become True Immortal and ascend to the Nine Divine Heavens."

"Well, it's good that you know," Albion calmly nodded like a wise sage enlightening his junior before adding, "But I need proper proof of city ownership if we are to make the exchange."

"I understand, Sir Albion."

City Lord Baschmi appeared completely convinced that he would no longer need the city after becoming True Immortal and took out a dragon seal and a piece of golden document.

"This city seal is proof of one's legitimacy as the city lord of Blue Wyvern City, and this document is further proof of the ownership transfer to add credibility…"

Shortly after showing the two pieces of proof, City Lord Baschmi raised three fingers and swore a heavenly oath.

"And finally, I swear to the heavens that I, Baschmi Dedu, will offer Blue Wyvern City to Sir Albion in exchange for an Immortal Ascension Pill. Should I go back on my words, may the heavens smite me dead."

After the words were spoken, City Lord Baschmi handed over the city seal and document before Albion gave him the Immortal Ascension Pill.

Although there wasn't any binding power in the heavenly oath, and it is usually used symbolically, not many cultivators would break their oath and take the risk of heavenly wrath.

Nevertheless, Albion silently laughed in his heart after receiving the city seal and golden document with his name on it.

He found City Lord Baschmi to be quite the pushover.

However, he seems to have forgotten a simple truth; when he has absolute strength, any and everyone can be a pushover.

"What are you waiting for?" Albion asked.

"What am I waiting for?" City Lord Baschmi smiled wryly and said, "Sir Albion, take a look at me; this is no state to be taking on another Heavenly Tribulation."

Having sustained scorching injuries from the tribulation lightning that destroyed all his hair and half his clothes, City Lord Baschmi did look rather miserable and unready for another round of tribulation lightning.

Nevertheless, Albion simply gazed at City Lord Baschmi calmly.

"I can see that your True Immortal body is 70% completed and only need to endure another three rounds of tribulation lightning to complete it. Since you're almost there, you should just do it and not delay it any further."

"Yeah, but…"

"Look here, buddy. I've been doing you a big favor. Not only did I give you three Immortal Ascension Pills, but I've also offered to endure the Heavenly Tribulation for you and look after your city once you're gone. Do you think I'm usually this free, or do you just want to waste my time?"

Albion's words suddenly made City Lord Baschmi feel guilty and indebted to him.

However, this was strange considering how their business has been on the basis of equal value exchange.

"Just do it!"

"Y-yes!"

Under Albion's impatient urge, City Lord Baschmi ingested the Immortal Ascension Pill before he could think deeper.

The Heavenly Tribulation helplessly arrived after receiving the summoning for the third time before City Lord Baschmi successfully endured three rounds of tribulation lightning and finally stepped into True Immortal.

At the same time, Albion harvested another 20 units of divine energy before the Heavenly Tribulation escaped.

Ding!

<Balance: 149/1000 Divine Energy>

"It was good doing business with you."

Albion returned to City Lord Baschmi's side shortly after and patted him on the shoulders with a satisfied look before preparing to leave.

However, Baschmi Dedu suddenly cried, "Hold up! Wait a minute! Something ain't right!"

"Where is the light of ascension, the stairway to heaven that is supposed to take me to the Nine Divine Heavens?!"

"Oh…"

Albion paused for a moment before casually saying, "Seems like it won't be appearing since the Heavenly Tribulation failed to deliver its nine strikes. Oh yeah, the stairway to heaven is also broken."

"What!"

Baschmi Dedu stood blankly on the spot, unable to process the information immediately, but when he did, he quickly cried with outrage.

"Did I get freaking scammed?!"

He became a True Immortal, but at what cost?!

Baschmi Dedu quickly glared at Albion.

Now that he had reached True Immortal; he could clearly gauge Albion's cultivation at the Peak-stage Spirit Refinement Realm.

However, the discovery made him both angry and dumbfounded.

This doesn't make any sense!
