Chapter 274 - Mutual Surprise Gift With Daji
Boom!
The Five-Color-Sacred Cow stomped.
Suddenly, the ground gave way, and cracks spread everywhere. The disciples of the Liuyun Palace frantically ran away.
Soon, the cracks spread to the remaining half of the Liuyun Palace.
Crumble!
The remaining half of the palace fell apart. The ruins levitated into a huge mountain and crushed the Lord Immortal!
The Lord Immortal teared up. He did not expect that his palace would become nothing in mere days. He had nothing left.
Life was truly full of surprises.
He roared, “Hurry, everyone, cast the spell! Quick! Quick! This cow’s crazy!”
The disciples were exhausted. They had already casted spells to withstand the natural tribulation and were injured from it. Now, a Taiyi Golden Immortal Cow suddenly attacked them?
They were worried that they would die from that.
Soon, they got into formation. Endless Spiritual Lights beamed to the sky, activating the defense spell.
The Liuyun Lord Immortal looked serious. He casted spells for all sorts of shields.
Boom!
The big mountain rocks crashed on the shields. Rocks were flying everywhere like meteors, creating holes everywhere. Some mountains were instantly flattened!
The Liuyun Lord Immortal groaned. He stepped back, blood dripping from his mouth. He drank the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Cream again.
The Five-Color Sacred Cow was in disbelief. It was utterly pissed as it said, “You dare drink milk in front of me? You’re instigating me! I’ll fight you to death!”
It stomped angrily. Power of Law came rolling in. It almost created a crack in time and space. Everything was falling apart quickly. It was still attacking the Liuyun Lord Immortal.
The Liuyun Lord Immortal almost spat out blood.
His hair stood on end as he used his powers. He felt his skin crawl knowing he was in grave danger.
Spells and items were fully used but they were defenseless, too.
Suddenly, a disciple screamed, “Sect Master, stop hiding your powers. Use that signature legendary move!”

“Yeah, Sect Master! It’s an ‘absolutely necessary’ moment. Don’t you have a world-destroying skill?”
“I have a feeling that the skill’s extraordinary. We can finally witness it today.”
Nonsense legendary skill!
The Liuyun Lord Immortal groaned. He was still trying to save face.
“Everyone, my skill’s too powerful. It isn’t appropriate for me to use it here. I’m afraid I’ll accidentally hurt you all.”
He looked at the Five-Color-Sacred Cow and suddenly beckoned, “Come on!”
The mockery was effective. The Five-Color-Sacred Cow yelled angrily while it sprinted toward him.
The Liuyun Lord Immortal immediately ran. “Everyone, I’ll lead the cow to another area. Wait for my good news when I return victorious.”
On the other side of the Above Immortal Realm.
The East land.
It was covered in ice. The place had a creepy kind of chill. The ice had not melted for millions of years. It was not ordinary ice and it was glistening and shimmering like crystals!
It was a Sacred Land in the Above Immortal Realm, also known as the Ice Palace.
A lady stood on the ice cliff in a light-blue chiffon dress. Her long hair covered her shoulders and her skin was pale. She was gorgeous. The view seemed less stunning with her around.
However, she looked sad. It was not a temporary sadness. It seemed like she was remarkably sad and could not hide it, as if she had been sad for a long time. Her sadness made her look pitiful.
She looked across the horizon. It was as if she wanted to see the other side of the realm.
The cold wind was howling on the ice cliff, her long dress blowing in the wind. It was like a scene in a painting.
Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared behind the lady. It was an elder with white hair.
The elder bowed to that lady and said, “Seventh Princess, that expert has returned.”

The lady turned around and said, “Xing Guan, about that person… What do you know about him so far?”
“Pardon me, I don’t know much about him.” Xing Guan shook his head and looked troubled. He groaned for a moment and said, “This person disguises himself as an ordinary man so we can’t tell how powerful he is. But since he has caused such a stir in the Immortal Realm, he has to at least be a Daluo Golden Immortal. More importantly, he’s not in hiding at all. He moves amongst the public crowd. Unless we can look at him directly, we won’t be able to find anything about him.”
The lady said, “No matter what, he’s the one who reconnected the bridge to immortality and helped the Human Sovereign. I thought the same, too. If… Never mind, you should visit him first.”
“I understand.”
Xing Guan immediately sat crossed-leg. He astral projected and bowed at the lady once more before his consciousness flew away.
At the Immortal Realm.
Li Nianfan finally saw the Fallen Immortal Mountain after a full day’s journey.
He stood at the deck of the skyship as he got closer to the familiar mountains.
The skyship stopped to levitate above the ground before it slowly landed.
Li Nianfan saw something when he was at the deck. He smiled and waved at some figures below.
Soon, the skyship landed.
Li Nianfan walked out in excitement.
He smiled and said, “Daji, Fire Phoenix, you’re back.”
Blackie, on the other hand, had droopy ears. His love from the Master would vanish again, right?
Daji and the Fire Phoenix greeted him at the same time, “Sir.”
Urchin and Xiao Chengfeng hurriedly greeted, “Mr. Li.”
Dragin walked out, too. She smiled sweetly at Urchin and greeted, “Daddy.”
Then, Li Nianfan noticed the six-feet tall Five-Color Sacred Cow.
“Yo, what a big cow. It has five colors!” he exclaimed. “Is this an animal that you guys hunted? Since we’re going to welcome Nanan back, I can make a steak.”
Moo?
The Five-Color Sacred Cow jumped. It was startled. It started to struggle and tear up.
1
Moo!
‘Didn’t they say they wanted to capture me for milk? Why did they suddenly change their minds to make me into a steak?’
The change was too sudden!
‘Mommy, save me. They don’t want my milk, they want my meat!’
Daji smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to drink milk last time? We went out to search. This cow has milk.”
“Oh?” Li Nianfan was intrigued. He said in a surprised tone, “This is a dairy cow.”
Although the cow was black and white, the cow also had three extra colors. However, it was reasonable since it was the Immortal Realm. Even the cows were different.

“Daji, thanks.” Li Nianfan suddenly felt touched. He thought she had gone for a trip. He did not expect that it was to surprise him.
“I brought you something nice, too.” He smiled. He was glad that he prepared a gift for her. He took out the Xuan Water Bracelet. “This bracelet probably suits you. What do you think? Do you like it?”
That… Heavenly Spiritual Treasure?!
2
Everyone jumped. They stared hard at it.
That was a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. Although it was an Inferior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, it was still a hot-shot item that everyone wanted, even during the eldritch eras. The Immortal Realm did not have many Heavenly Spiritual Treasures either.
Urchin was the most shocked. He did not have a lot of Heavenly Spiritual Treasure in the Dragon Palace. Did the expert just simply give one away?
For a cultivator, a Spiritual Treasure was insanely helpful for battles. As long as the item was good, challenges could be easily overcome. Spiritual Treasures were important.
Gu Xirou and the others were ready for that. They looked at the reaction of the others and smiled awkwardly.
‘Oh, surprised?’
‘If only you all knew that it was originally an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure. It became a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure after the expert carved it. You all would faint from shock!’
He transformed an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure into a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure! The expert had magical carving skills.
Daji was instantly joyous. She blushed. “Thank you.”
“As long as you like it.”
Li Nianfan smiled then looked at Gu Xirou and the others. He said, “Immortal Gu, do you all want to hang around in my yard?”
“No thanks, Mr. Li. We should go since you have guests.”
Gu Xirou secretly wanted to. Even a sip of water from the expert would be nice. However, she had to be understanding. She could not be blinded by greed.
More importantly, what a bunch of freaking people!
Xiao Chengfeng, Urchin, the Fire Phoenix, and Daji. She was stressed out being in the presence of the bigshots. How could she shamelessly stay as a puny Immortal? She had to let it go!
“Thanks, everyone, for taking care of me these few days.” Li Nianfan saluted, “Farewell.”
Yao Mengji and the others immediately replied, “Mr. Li, goodbye!”
Then, Li Nianfan and the others walked into the four-part architecture.
Li Nianfan looked at Daji. He suddenly felt a pair of little eyes staring at him.
He noticed something and was instantly intrigued.
“Huh, little fox? Daji, you finally brought your sister.”
The little fox was adorable and snow-white. She almost blended in with Daji who was wearing something white. Its nine tails wrapped around Daji like a belt, which was why Li Nianfan did not notice it at first.
She carefully observed Li Nianfan with her big eyes.
Was that the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox? She was not as scary as described in stories. But she was indeed beautiful and so cute!
Li Nianfan smiled and asked, “Little fox, do you know me?”
“Yes,” said the little fox hesitatingly. She seemed to be shy and nervous.
Daji passed her over to him. “You can hug her.”
“Alright, I’ll try.”
Li Nianfan was not scared. He was excited. He smiled, carrying the little fox while gently caressing her smooth fur.
So comfortable.
A feeling that he had missed.
He remembered how it felt when he touched the Six-Tailed Fox. However, the fur of a Nine-Tailed Fox felt even better.

Softer, smoother, and more importantly, warmer. She was like the best pillow, very lovely to touch.
