novelFour Nine Immortal Palace

Luo Yan and the others turned pale from fright upon seeing An Lin's sinister expression!
"White-Robed Exalted Immortal, we've told you everything we know. You promised that you would only give us light punishments..." Wang Chen spoke in a trembling voice.
An Lin wasn't really thinking about using the Dark Crystals on them. He simply wanted to try, and they just so happened to be nearby. Thinking about it now, there were many other experimental subjects he could try these on, so there was no point in using Wang Chen and the others as lab rats. They still had other uses.
"Alright, I will spare your lives." An Lin nodded. Aside from the deceased Grand Elder Fu Haocang and the escaped six Kun Lun Divine Generals, these other elders were quite tame and could be useful to him.
"I can spare your lives, but you must swear dao heart vows to never oppress the weak again. Furthermore, you must dedicate your lives to the Four Nine Immortal Sect and live according to the rules of the Four Nine Immortal Palace!" An Lin spoke with a solemn expression.
Wang Chen, Luo Yan, and Sun Biyu immediately nodded in agreement to save their own lives.
However, they quickly came to their senses.
"Wait, what is this Four Nine Immortal Palace and Four Nine Immortal Sect?"
Luo Yan faltered slightly before posing a question.
An Lin clasped his hands behind his back."From this day forth, the Immortal King Palace will cease to exist. There is only the Four Nine Immortal Palace now..."
All three of them stirred upon hearing this. The Immortal King was dead, and the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was the ruler of this entire Divine Source Continent. Right now, his word was like a god's decree, so they had to agree with everything he proposed!
With this in mind, all three of them bowed in unison."We are happy to serve you, Immortal King!"
"Hah? Don't give me such a crappy title!" An Lin was quite displeased.
Awkward expressions appeared on their faces. The Immortal King was the king of all immortals, what was wrong with that?
"Please call me Immortal Emperor!" An Lin corrected.
Luo Yan, Wang Chen, Sun Biyu: "..."
"Haha... Just kidding. You can keep calling me White-Robed Exalted Immortal. I'm pretty fond of that name. Don't try to give me any official titles."
An Lin waved his hands with a nonchalant expression.
After that, all three of them swore dao heart vows as instructed by An Lin, and if they were to renounce or violate these vows, their dao hearts would crumble, and their cultivation bases would disappear.
This was a result better than any they could imagine. However, they found it strange that An Lin prohibited them from oppressing or harming people weaker than them. Weren't powerful exalted immortals the most valuable people in this world? Were they not well within their rights to push around weaker living beings from time to time?
This was the culture of the Divine Source Continent. If you were more powerful, then all weaker living beings would concede to you. Living beings of lower cultivation bases even had to kneel whenever they encountered living beings of higher cultivation bases than them.
The Immortal King envoys were part of the Immortal King's core forces, so they were exempt from this hierarchy.
Of course, An Lin was going to flip all of these concepts on their heads.
He was establishing the Four Nine Immortal Palace with the sole purpose of making this world a better place!
Yi Xi was actually also a bit perplexed about what An Lin was doing.
In his opinion, they should just go back after obtaining the Heavenly Dao fragment. Why did it matter to them what happened to this world? Besides, the main antagonist, the Immortal King, had already perished, so this world would eventually reach a new power balance and equilibrium by itself over time.
However, this was not what An Lin wanted. With the Immortal King now dead, widespread unrest and revolution would inevitably ensue, and that new equilibrium Yi Xi referred to would indeed be reached given time, but countless people could die in that process. He really couldn't bear to just leave this world in such a state of turmoil.
He had taken so much of Feng Wuya's treasures, so it was time to give back to this world.
An Lin made his way out of the Immortal King's imperial suite to discover an extremely beautiful woman waiting for him outside. She was standing in a respectful manner.
She immediately knelt down at the sight of An Lin."Yan Shuqin pays her respects to the White-Robed Exalted Immortal!"
"You're the Immortal Queen, Yan Shuqin?" An Lin was a little surprised.
Yan Shuqin was a Return to Void Intermediate Stage exalted immortal, so she had more than ample opportunity to run away when the sky was crumbling.
"The Immortal King is now dead, so I am no longer the Immortal Queen. You can just refer to me by my name..." Yan Shuqin's voice was soft and sweet like candy floss, completely devoid of the ferocity An Lin would expect from the queen of a harem.
An Lin nodded."Alright then, please stand up, and tell me why you have come to find me."
Yan Shuqin stood up, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisitely beautiful features."There are still six hundred and twenty-three concubines left in the Spring Light Palace who would be more than happy to serve you. Would you like to visit them now?"
An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this."They want to serve me? But they're all concubines of the Immortal King!"
Yan Shuqin continued in her gentle voice, "White-Robed Exalted Immortal, you're aware of Immortal King Feng Wuya's... condition. Those concubines are all virgins, and they chose to stay behind and serve you of their own volition. You will only need to give me a nod, and they're all yours."
Gasp... He only had to nod, and he would have a harem of over six hundred beauties?
An Lin's heart rate accelerated drastically. How stimulating!
To think that over half of the remaining thousand concubines wished to stay by his side.
It looked like his plan of conquest worked quite well! A bit too well, in fact!
As for the question of whether he was going to accept all of these concubines...
Was he that type of person?!
"I said that I would give them freedom, and I would deliver on my promises! They want to stay and serve me? Sorry, I'm not into harems, " An Lin said in an indifferent voice.
Yan Shuqin was a little stunned by An Lin.
In this world, all powerful men were revered by countless people and had hordes of concubines.
However, the White-Robed Exalted Immortal was going to refuse all of these beauties?
"But... why?" Yan Shuqin couldn't help but ask.
An Lin looked at Yan Shuqin with a serious expression."My heart is very small, and it can only hold one person."
Yan Shuqin was dumbstruck. This was the first time she had heard something like this, and these words were being spoken by the most powerful being on the entire Divine Source Continent...
Yan Shuqin's well-rehearsed facade was beginning to crumble as her heart rate accelerated for some reason.
Yang Lingqian was also staring blankly at the man beside her.
If that one person he was referring to was her, then she would definitely be the happiest woman in the world. However, she knew that that was impossible.
"Please send all of the Spring Light Palace concubines away and give them some spirit stones before they leave. Also, may I ask why you haven't left yet?" An Lin asked with a genuinely curious expression.
