Chapter 262 Tang San: I am the Immortal Lord's personally taught disciple!
However, even after suffering such inhuman torture, Tang San's mysterious self-confidence remained unshaken.
"Huff, huff..."
Tang San buried his face in the dark red soil, panting heavily, then suddenly his eyes lit up:
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will and strengthens their body."
"That immortal lord must be observing me in secret."
"He wants to see if I, Tang San, can still maintain the pride that comes with living two lives in such a desperate situation!"
"As long as I can get through this ordeal, I will surely gain the favor of the Immortal Lord, who will directly bestow upon me supreme immortal techniques, allowing me to ascend to the heavens in one step!"
Thinking of this, Tang San miraculously mustered a strength and forcefully twisted his neck, managing to lift his face off the mud.
Just as Tang San turned his head, a muffled sound suddenly came from the distant horizon.
The sound was so loud that the ground beneath him trembled.
Tang San, sensing all this, was startled and quickly opened his eyes, activating his Purple Demon Eye to look in the direction from which the sound came.
"ah!"
With just one glance, Tang San felt as if his eyes were being burned by raging fire, and two lines of bloody tears flowed from them.
Even so, he was still able to see the scene in the distance.
Amidst the blood-red sandstorm, a troop of heavily armored cavalry was galloping toward his location.
Those are the Imperial Guards, responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter of the borderland Imperial Pass!
This team of guards consists of about a dozen people.
The creatures they rode were not the spirit beasts of Douluo Continent, but ancient species as large as small mountains, covered with jet-black scales, and with dragon horns on their heads: dragon-horned elephants and dragon-horned horses!
From the nostrils of each dragon-horned elephant and dragon-horned horse spewed terrifying divine fire, and with a single step, they could leave a deep crater in the scorched earth of the indestructible Imperial Pass.
On the backs of these ancient creatures were cavalrymen whose blood and qi were extremely vigorous!
Among these people, the lowest level was the Divine Fire Realm, and the young knight captain in the lead was an even more terrifying existence who had stepped into the True One Realm!
"What a terrifying mount..."
Not far away, Tang San, who had just arrived in this world and was immediately suppressed to the ground, looked at the dragon-horned elephants rushing towards him and couldn't help but feel a sense of horror.
"With such a powerful soul beast, this place must be the Immortal Realm, right?"
"And these people should be the servants or patrolling disciples on the outskirts of the Primordial Immortal Court?"
In Tang San's mind, only people from the Celestial Court could afford such a grand display.
And I must have been extremely lucky to have descended to the immortal realm I had always dreamed of, rather than some lower realm or upper realm.
Thinking of this, Tang San also stared greedily at the dragon-horned elephants and dragon-horned horses, secretly calculating in his heart:
"If I become a direct disciple of the Celestial Court, I'll definitely get a few of these exotic beasts to take back to Douluo Continent and use them as guardian beasts for my Tang Sect."
"And their armor, though it looks imposing, is extremely crudely forged."
"If it could be integrated into the hidden weapon mechanism of my Tang Clan, its power would definitely increase several times!"
At this moment, Tang San had completely immersed himself in the identity of a direct disciple of the Primordial Immortal Court.
As the Imperial Guards drew ever closer, about to whiz past him, he watched them approach.
Despite being pinned to the ground, Tang San didn't flinch. Instead, he mustered his last breath and shouted at the guards:
"The personal disciple of the Primordial Immortal Lord is here!"
"You wait, stop right now!"
Although Tang San's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by the extremely perceptive Imperial Guards.
The young captain of the leading knights frowned, then suddenly pulled on the reins.
"Whoa!"
The pure-blooded dragon-horned elephant beneath him roared, its four hooves carving a furrow over a hundred meters long into the ground, before stopping less than ten meters from Tang San.
In an instant, a gust of wind mixed with divine fire rushed towards him, almost burning Tang San's hair off.
The remaining dozen or so guards also reined in their mounts and all looked at the young man in blue.
Who is it?
The young knight captain looked down at Tang San with a wary expression.
Outside the Desolate Emperor Pass, spies from other realms could appear at any time.
But when he carefully scanned Tang San on the ground with his divine sense, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There is no divine fire?
There are no inscriptions either?
It doesn't even have the most basic blood energy of the Blood Moving Realm?
Although this person possesses an extremely strange and faint energy, in terms of physical strength, he is even weaker than a newborn baby in the Great Wilderness!
How did such an ant, which is not even as good as a mortal, manage to get here by passing through the Imperial Pass Formation?
For a moment, facing the gazes of more than a dozen experts at the Divine Fire Realm or above, a normal person would probably have been terrified out of their wits.
But Tang San is different.
Tang San raised his head with great difficulty. Although his cheeks were still pressed against the mud, his eyes were frighteningly bright.
"You guys are lucky to have run into me."
Tang San coughed twice, then said in a somewhat affected manner:
"I am an unparalleled prodigy who ascended from the lower realm."
"And this is Tang San, the unparalleled genius whom the current Primordial Immortal Lord has just taken a liking to and is preparing to take as his personal disciple!"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Imperial Guards froze on the back of the dragon-horned elephant, staring wide-eyed at the blue-clad youth on the ground.
The Primordial Immortal Lord?
His personal disciple?
A few days ago, they might not have known this name.
But not long ago, the unparalleled immortal might of the Primordial Immortal Court descended upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the supreme feat of guiding the ancestral spirits had already spread throughout the entire Imperial Pass!
What a forbidden and magnificent existence that is! It is the pinnacle of the immortal path, to which even the invincible supreme beings must kneel!
And now, this ant on the ground, which can't even stand up and is weaker than an ant, dares to spout nonsense, claiming to be the personal disciple of that immortal master.
Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the cavalry, Tang San assumed they were stunned by his identity, which greatly satisfied his sense of superiority.
Then, Tang San spoke to the knight captain in an unquestionable, commanding tone:
"What? Why aren't you dismounting and coming to pay your respects!"
"I have only suffered minor injuries due to the interdimensional crossing."
"Come quickly and help me up from the ground, then give me your best healing medicine to help me recover!"
At this point, Tang San confidently threw out his chips.
"Don't worry, I, Tang San, have always been clear about my gratitude and grudges."
"As long as you serve me well today, when I see the Immortal Master, I will definitely put in a good word for you."
"Not only that, I will also give you some pointers and even reward you with a few sets of my Tang Clan's unparalleled hidden weapon techniques, enough to make you roam freely in this Immortal Realm!"
