Immortality: My cultivation Has No Bottleneck

Chapter 533: Chapter 198: Accidental Exposure, The Gifted Child (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!!!!)

Longevity Immortal City.

City Lord Mansion.

After Su Wu obtained the treasure of Chunyangzi’s lineage, he quickly calmed down his excitement. Having found a solution to the crisis, he had to consider realistic issues.

Who should he choose to become the hero of Longevity Immortal City?

That’s right, Su Wu had started thinking about his own interests now that a crisis resolution plan was in place.

Although cultivators possess powerful battle strengths due to their cultivation levels, they also have regional loyalties and are members of the immortal city. Otherwise, why would there be talk about cultivators affecting the Immortal City’s destiny?

So, facing the disturbance caused by the two Western Barbarians, Fang Yuan and Fang Yi, in Longevity Immortal City, whoever could defeat them would become the hero of the city.

And that would mean winning the support of the people and successfully obtaining a portion of Longevity Immortal City’s fortune.

So, Su Wu had to carefully consider who he wanted to become the hero. This person must be loyal to him, or else he would simply be paving the way for others.

Under normal circumstances, Su Wu wouldn’t need to worry about this so much. After all, he was already at the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, so there was no need to worry too much about the Golden Core cultivators. But now, it was different.

This was a time for the Immortal Dynasty Competition, a rare golden age that happened once every tens of thousands of years. Under these circumstances, fortunes were extremely important.

With fortune, cultivators would have blessings and opportunities to rise, step by step. Who could say that a gifted child couldn’t eventually rise from obscurity?

As Su Wu thought about this, he felt a little regretful. He had previously rejected the help offered by Ling Xiaozi’s lineage and senior and junior fellow brothers, thinking that he alone could enjoy Longevity Immortal City’s fortunes.

Now, he was alone in the city without any support from his sect, and it was already too late to ask for help from Ling Xiaozi.

After all, the city was currently tense, and if he didn’t find a solution soon, the fortune he had been enjoying as the City Master could backfire on him.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

At this moment, Su Wu began to search through the Golden Core Stage True Persons within his City Lord Mansion in his mind. However, he couldn’t find anyone he completely trusted.

This was the sorrow of enjoying power without having any true confidants. Power, for cultivators, was also a delicious poison.

In the end, Su Wu’s foundations were too shallow. He had controlled the Longevity Immortal City for too short a time. If he were given more time, such as ten thousand years, he would undoubtedly cultivate loyal die-hard confidants.

Feeling frustrated, Su Wu tried to calm himself and chose a relatively harmless Golden Core Daoist to kill the Western Barbarians and protect the fortune of the city.

Just then, the Internal Affairs Steward came to submit the list of City Lord Mansion officials’ replacements. At first, Su Wu didn’t pay attention, but then he had a sudden burst of inspiration.

If he selected a suitable person from the Golden Core True Persons who were nearing retirement due to their lifespan, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?

The shorter the lifespan, the better!

Thinking of this, Su Wu couldn’t help but laugh. How could he have forgotten about those soon-to-die, retired people from the City Lord Mansion? Why not let them contribute once more to the city?

After all, the City Lord Mansion had provided them with so many resources previously. Making a final contribution to the city at the end of their lives was a just and harmless cycle of cause and effect.

Let’s get this done.

With this thought, Su Wu immediately ordered the Internal Affairs Office to send over all the personnel records of those who had retired from the City Lord Mansion in the past thousand years.

Not daring to delay, the Internal Affairs Office quickly sent over jade slips containing the personnel changes from the past thousand years. Su Wu went through them, and his expression changed.

It wasn’t because he hadn’t found a suitable person, but because he discovered that an unremarkable family had so many Golden Core True Persons with an unbroken lineage.

The Zhou Family!?

After seeing the personnel changes, Su Wu had a flash of inspiration and asked for more records. He stared at them until the moon set, his face filled with disbelief.

He hadn’t expected such a family to exist within the Immortal City. If it weren’t for the provocation of the Western Barbarians and his own flash of inspiration, he might have remained unaware of this situation.

It seemed that while dealing with the Western Barbarians, he also needed to probe the Zhou Family. There was only one way that a family could continuously produce Golden Core True Persons without any crises.

A Nascent Soul Master, the backbone and stabilizer of a family!

Did the Zhou Family have a Nascent Soul Master or not?

In his hands, Su Wu held the treasure of Chunyangzi’s lineage, but instead of being in a hurry to deal with the Western Barbarians, he saw the Zhou Family as a thorn in his side.

If there were a Nascent Soul Master within the Zhou Family and he couldn’t win against them, the Zhou Family would have great ambitions. In that case, the Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder’s target would have to be changed…

With that thought, Su Wu looked up and immediately sent for the Commander of his Personal Guards. After whispering his orders, the Commander sharply raised his head.

Under Su Wu’s determined gaze, the Commander left to rally the Personal Guards, his mind filled with a single thought.

What on earth is the City Master planning?

He had never been this cautious before!

…

While Su Wu was worrying, Fang Yuan and Fang Yi were in a great mood in their room at the inn. Their mouths were curled up in smiles.

Today, another ignorant Golden Core Daoist challenged the arena. He was also a subordinate of the City Lord Mansion, so Fang Yuan didn’t hold back and killed him.

As for people from the City Lord Mansion, they naturally had cause and effect with the Seeking Truth Lineage. So, victory and defeat, as well as life and death, were all part of the process.
