Farewell

"He's not continuing?"
"Dayum, this guy. He was just acting to trick her to hand over the treasures!"
"What a waste! I already took off my pants. Just for this??"
They had seen Wu Yu begin to make free with Mo Yuji, but then not take it further. They were all amazed.
Wu Yu had indeed been very demanding, as though he was prepared to go at it for 10 days and 10 nights without pause. But he had suddenly stopped, and seemed to have put it from his mind. It was perplexing.
The ghostly immortals had wanted to watch a good show. After all, it was no loss for them. Of course they wanted Wu Yu to continue. Now they were all disappointed.
On the other side, the sky palaces' immortal lords heaved a sigh of relief. Their final shred of dignity, preserved. However, Wu Yu's kiss and groping had made many lose their minds!
This was the daughter of one of the Four Heavenly Kings! Usually, she was untouchable, high above them all. It was blasphemy to even dream it. And Wu Yu had so roughly......
An emotional rollercoaster like no other.
Disappointment all around.
However, they were curious as well. Actually, that the 10 Rainbow Pearls could call forth the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King was but a guess. Could the person who gathered all 10 truly call forth the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King? They were curious too.
Before their eyes, Wu Yu did something that caught their attention. He pulled out the other 8 Rainbow Pearls!
Now, all 10 were before him!
"So he is White-Eyed Ghostly Lord and Qing Xuan Immortal Lord!"
"Who in the world is he?"
"Does he have a real identity?"
"What is this technique that allows him such transformations......"
They all looked at Wu Yu uncomprehendingly.
Everyone could only focus on the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King now.
Wu Yu was nervous too. He had no idea what the Jade Emperor had planned. Wu Yu was watching the pearls closely.
Something was happening!
As all 10 were lined up, they seemed to come to life, revolving around a center.
They spun faster and faster, until all 10 Rainbow Pearls had formed a circle, a blur in which one could no longer make out the individual pearls. The rainbow light had morphed into white light as well.
Wu Yu was still watching tensely, as the spectators held their breath, looking at Wu Yu enviously.
And then all 10 Rainbow Pearls vanished. However, there was a milky-white pearl in their stead.
It was the same size as the Rainbow Pearls.
With no idea what it was, Wu Yu swiftly took it up. It seemed like there was an image of the world within the pearl, the 8, 000 Sky Palaces, the 10, 000 Levels of Hell, the 3, 000 greater realms and 90, 000 lesser realms. All of it was within.
If he looked at it too closely, he would be lost in it.
In truth, this Mark of an Immortal King was different from the other Marks.
But then again, the likes of it had never been seen before. The one and only 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, it was understandably different from the others.
Therefore, Wu Yu threw caution to the wind and pocketed it before it could fly away. He was more or less sure that this was the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King.
With the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King in hand, the Astral Hell stage was over.
He looked at Mo Yuji. She had been a little vague just now, but as Wu Yu picked up the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, she had looked at him with fear and respect.
She was still worried that Wu Yu would do something to her.
The others had been expecting some glorious light or fanfare as the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King was obtained. But the effect was muted, and Wu Yu quickly scooped it up.
"That's it?"
"He's got the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King just like that?"
It was over too quickly.
They had thought there would be some grand spectacle.
As to how to confirm if it was the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King, it was very simple. They just had to wait and see if anything changed.
Which it did.
Not just the central glowing sphere, but all of their glowing spheres faded, and then billions of people appeared in the starry sky. Besides Wu Yu and Mo Yuji, the rest all appeared far away.
They looked at each other. This meant that it was the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King after all.
The Hell masters and ghostly kings immediately regained their fighting power.
This proved that the 10th Grade Palace of an Immortal King was truly gone.
They immediately reacted.
Get it!
Wu Yu was still here. If they killed him, they could take the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King! The test might not be over!
Chased by billions, Wu Yu indeed started. This was not easy to get out of. He could be crushed by their sheer numbers into pulp.
However, he realized that he did not need to worry. He had spotted a white halo above Mo Yuji's head, which was pulling her inwards and upwards. All around him, similar halos were appearing over the immortal lords' heads.
And then there was one above him as well. This meant that, by the rules, the Jade Emperor was taking them all back to the Great Void Immortal Path. The 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King had been taken, and there was no need for them to remain here. The epochal immortal design over Astral Hell was probably dissolving as well!
Even in the final moments, there were still Hell masters chasing him!
A flash of inspiration came to Wu Yu. There were some things that he could not use when he returned to the sky palaces. Therefore, he threw them all out now!
There were so many treasures.
There were even great void immortal treasures amongst them!
For example, the Lasting Blood Banner, Primal Lightning Calabash, Abominable Hook Soul Chains, Tundra Spirit's Lamp, Lifebreaking Darkness Brush, Nine Moons Devil Emperor's Battle Axe, Riposte Needle etc......
Although they were all fine treasures, but using them would expose his identity. He had to get rid of them, no matter how good they were.
Besides those, Wu Yu even tossed away Greater Darkness Heaven from Gu Huo Immortal Lord. He threw away all of the evidence into Astral Hell, which raised a huge fuss.
At first, they did not understand why he did this, because then he would have no treasures.
They left Astral Hell quickly. The halo sucked them in through a long tunnel, and then they flew through the light ahead back into a starry sky. Wu Yu knew without looking that he was back in Great Void Immortal Path.
Perhaps because the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King had been won early, there were still about a dozen days left for the Great Void Immortal Path. They would still linger here for a while, and some might make use of the time to hunt more Marks of an Immortal King.
As they returned, all of the immortal lords were together. Wu Yu was still in the guise of the White Chalk Ghostly Lord, and was naturally very obvious!
Everyone immediately chased him upon seeing him!
Especially for the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King.
Others in his shoes might have been helpless, but it was easy for Wu Yu. With a flip of the Somersault Cloud, he was worlds away. Another shake of his body, and he was someone else.
He had changed back to his real body. After all, there was no one around.
"From now on, I am just an ordinary 6-realm immortal lord. All I used before, especially the Submerged Cloud Seal, should not be used in my real body."
He reminded himself.
Actually, he wanted to take the 10th Grade Mark of an Immortal King out to examine. However, Wu Yu resisted. This was a thing best left hidden. The fewer who knew about it the better. He should only take it out when he was going to become an immortal king.
There was not much time left now. He just had to wander about and pass time quietly. After all, he had many Marks of an Immortal King with him now.
Nangong Wei had emerged from within, probably to discuss what they would do. Wu Yu had not yet managed to save her completely, and so she still had worries.
"Congratulations on your stunning victory." She said with complex feelings. However, she was used to Wu Yu creating such miracles.
"When you go out, you're returning to Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm, right?" Nangong Wei asked with a smile.
"Mm. As I planned, yes......" Luo Pin had been waiting for him for some time now. She must be missing him.
Nangong Wei did not seem too disappointed either. She had probably expected it. She nodded: "Don't worry about me. Her attitude isn't bad, and she seems to have come around. We will share the identity. You don't need to worry. Although she knows a lot, but she thinks of herself as yours now. She has accepted her lot, and will not do anything foolish. If she tries, I will stop her."
Meaning she would take her down together.
This Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord indeed knew all of Wu Yu's identities. However, Nangong Wei had said thus, and Wu Yu still trusted her quite a lot. Besides, Wu Yu had no other solution. He could not very well imprison her forever.
"Then it's settled?" Nangong Wei said with a seemingly-carefree smile.
"it is." Wu Yu could not let Luo Pin down. He could only choose one, and there was nothing he could do about Nangong Wei.
"Then I will go to find the eternal phoenix tribe. We will all be in the sky palaces, and there will be chances to meet in the future. It is not bad. I wish you both well." Wu Yu was not accustomed to her warmth. She was not like this before. Perhaps the transformation this time round had made a huge impact on her.
"Alright." Wu Yu nodded, not sure of what to say.
"Then I will be leaving first." She pursed her lips. After saying farewell to Wu Yu, she turned, her fiery outline soon disappearing in the sky. Wu Yu could not see her eyes welling with tears, nor understand why they fell. Perhaps it was for chances missed.
Of course, she knew that Wu Yu would return to wed Luo Pin this time.
But he had already saved her. What more was there to ask?
