Cultivation World, Immortal Realm.
Three hours ago. It was daytime (afternoon) on a busy street in the central continent of the Immortal Realm; Patrick and his first Eternity, Raleigh, casually strolled the city's busy streets within the central continent as they walked in a straight direction. Patrick wore a long grey cultivation robe with white stripes and a hoodie attached to it; he had long grey pants with the same white stripe design on the sides and a high black-laced boot that stopped at his shins.
With his ten black Omnivastant Rings and a black watch on his left wrist, Patrick's appearance was similar to what people on Earth 101 called 'Drip.' Patrick walked in front with hands tucked in his robe's pocket while Raleigh followed his God Master with hands behind his back while portraying a respectable demeanor. While his master wore a casual 21st-century drip, Raleigh was the opposite. Raleigh wore a tailor-made three-piece black suit with a red handkerchief in his left pocket. He had on a high black shoe and a pocket watch string hanging from the pocket of his three-piece suit.
Both master and servant duo steadily walked the lively streets as their unfamiliar attires drew the attention of some nearby cultivators. Noticing the increasing eyes on them, Raleigh slightly moved a finger as the scrutinizing eyes of the cultivators diverted from the two. The master and servant continued their walk and headed deeper into the city. After a few minutes walk, the duo stopped at a three-story majestic building. Standing at the building entrance, Patrick raised his head as he looked at the silver name design of the building, 'Silver Moon Feather Inn.'
Stepping into the Inn, Patrick saw the massive and spacious dining hall that accommodated hundreds of customers who were busy enjoying their delicacies. There were multiple eye-catching designs in the hall, some of which were paintings, statues, and floating golden lamps that brightened the hall, creating a classic and serene scene. There were four sets of silver chairs attached to each round metallic table, and there were hundreds of these in the dining inn.
Inside the Inn, young girls wearing long silver dresses with knotted hair and at guesstimated ages of eighteen roamed around the dining hall as they enthusiastically served the customers. The distances between the tables were about ten feet; despite that, the girls easily and quickly made their way to the tables when requested in seconds; that was because they were all flashing from one place to another with but a single step.
On the third floor of the building, Patrick sat at a table next to a window; his head leaned on his right hand while looking outside through the window. Raleigh stood by Patrick's right side despite having four seats at the table while maintaining his calm and poised demeanor. Looking at the menu scroll on the table, he spoke.
"If His Primordial Highness does not find the menu tasteful, might I suggest an antiquity beast?"
Hearing Raleigh's sentence, Patrick slightly smiled; he still kept his gaze on the streets through the window as he spoke.
"An antiquity beast might not be as tasteful as you think, Osborn. Wine will suffice."
"As the Supreme Creator demands."
Nodding to Patrick's statement, Raleigh raised a finger, requesting a waitress.
In the same city where Patrick and Raleigh were, there was a spacious platform where multiple huge black stones stood in pairs. The black stones each had several peculiar engravings on them, and their engravings radiated blue lights, creating a bluish energy vortex between the rocks, resembling portals. There were five pairs of stones on the platform, and four of those pairs of stones seemed to be already activated, leaving only one pair, which was a distance away from the other four pairs. Standing in front of each portal were warriors in green armors and face-covering helmets. They wielded long green spears twice their height, and they all looked at least six feet.
Above the portal stones were their destinations: the East, West, North, and Southern continents of the Immortal Realm. But then, from the already activated portals emerged multiple groups of people with majestic attires and garments. Suddenly, a cultivator from the nearby crowd murmured.
"Isn't that people from the Soul Cloud Palace? What are they doing in Fengian Sage City? Aren't they from the Soul Screeching Realm? Could it be that there is an event happening?"
"Now that I think about it, their presence here might be related to the auction held tomorrow afternoon by one of the Ancient Families; I just don't know which one."
"Hey, look! Another group came, this time twice the number of the first one at that."
Another cultivator pointed out as from another blue transportation portal emerged another different group. The Soul Cloud Palace group earlier had grey attires with white headbands and bracelets that reached their elbows. A woman, wearing a more luxurious dress and who seemed to be the group leader, floated on a white cloud while the rest walked with domineering demeanors.
The second arrived group wore black gowns with hoodies; this group exuded extreme killing auras, causing no one in the crowd to not even look at them for long, let alone talk about them. But then, another series of the same event began happening; different groups with different attires and names began emerging from the portals. Some of the emerged parties were a group of tall and huge half-naked men, a party of women wearing beautiful pink dresses, a party arriving on flying swords, some with beasts, and even some arriving with arrogant demeanors and having humans chained to their carts.
The more the groups of people arrived, the crowdier and congested the spacious platform became. Some arrived groups began exiting the scene as they moved from the transportation platform, but suddenly, the large crowd went quiet when the fifth pair of stone portals activated. This single event caused the many arrived groups to stop in their tracks as they stared at the activated portal with anticipation.
"I can't believe it; I have seen the fifth transportation portal activate for the first time in my life."
"Haha, that's because you are a kid; every city in the central and other continents has five transportation portals, four of which can be used to travel back and forth into a city or continent, and one that is specifically reserved for only people of nobility or status, such as the Ancient families, Overlords, the Immortal Gate and many other sacred powers. You are about to witness someone from the higher echelons visit the Fengian Sage City; it is quite an honor for the city lord."
An old man stroked his long white beard as he explained the reason for the fifth portal to a young man. But the explanation only intensified the young man's curiosity as he eagerly stared at where the fifth portal was, anticipating seeing the mighty nobles who are sought so highly. All attention was now on the fifth portal. But what happened next was a disaster.
From the activated fifth portal emerged a single foot that stepped out of the portal, but the emergence of that one foot brought down an overwhelming gravitational force on the present scene cultivators, causing thousands of people, cultivators or not, within a hundred-meter radius to heavily fall on their knees, with some even completely smashing to the ground and dying instantly. But despite the overbearing pressure, some cultivators remained standing as they defended their groups from the pressure with their Qi energies.
"Wherever I go, the world shall kneel to my name, the heavens shall tumble to my will, and the weak shall face death. For I am the son of heaven, I am Gong Tieshan."
A heavy, oppressive, and majestic male voice sounded as a male figure emerged from the portal.
Standing at the portal was a seven-foot-tall man with long silver hair reaching his elbows; this person wore a luxurious white robe with intricate majestic dragon designs. He had an extremely handsome face with pure radiant blue eyes. Standing at the portal entrance with hands behind his back and portraying a godly attitude was Gong Tieshan.
Then a second later, another male figure emerged from the portal, followed by a female figure and then a male figure. Four people emerged from the portal; the newly emerged three weren't any less overbearing compared to Gond Tieshan; to be precise, they were all on the same level, except they didn't cause a huge commotion upon their arrival.
"How pathetic, a small release of pressure caused such a messy scene; the people of the Fengtian Sage City must be quite the weak group."
The second male figure to emerge from the portal spoke with a disgusted look as he saw the kneeling cultivators and some who were already dead squashed to blood paste. But suddenly, a loud voice bellowed out.
"This city lord pleads that the ancient descendants show mercy; If there had been any inconvenience, this city lord would personally handle it for the young ancient descendants."
Not long after the voice sounded, a middle-aged man flashed and appeared in the scene; the man wore an extravagantly luxurious green garment with golden bracelets on his arms; the man had a short black beard and was slightly below six feet. Hovering in the air, the man stared at his pressured citizens as a look of anger quickly flashed across his face. But regaining his calm, the middle-aged man steadily clapped twice as the overbearing pressure descending on the cultivators instantly vanished.
"I am the city lord of Fengian Sage City; I have been expecting your arrival; please kindly follow me, Ancient Descendents; I shall personally accommodate you as your host."
Looking at the middle-aged man in the air, Gong Tieshan nodded as if approving the man's words. The feeling of dominating these thousands of people boosted his power, the Law of Domination. But just when he was about to be immersed in the feeling, a flashback of a silver-haired man brutally and effortlessly slaughtering his clone appeared in his mind; unnoticeably, he tightly clenched his right fist as he spoke to one of the males beside him.
"Survey the city, and make sure no one enters or leaves without my permission."
"Hmm. I shall personally handle it, young prince."
Then, one of the men who came with Gong Tieshan's group and wore a grey cultivation robe instantly vanished from his spot. Then, Gong Tieshan and the other two arrived members steadily floated next to the city lord, ignoring the dissatisfied expression of the middle-aged man; Gong Tieshan spoke.
"We will be in your care then."
At the Silver Moon Feather Inn, Patrick sat with his left hand on his elbow while the other holding a small silver wine cup, from which he casually siped.
"Grace, initiate a forty-eight hours timer for the complete extinction of the entire Gong family and their allies. Account for the Immortal Gate and the Overlords interfering, although I doubt that happening."
[48:00:00]
[47:59:58]
[Timer Initiated]
"Master, should I make this objective a task for your servant, Raleigh Osborn?"
"Not necessary; I already have someone else in mind."
Patrick chatted with Grace as his system interface hovered in his view. Taking a sip from the small wine cup, which Raleigh continued to pour physically, Patrick raised his left hand as he stared at the black watch on his wrist as if looking at the time, which was already approaching evening.
[Designated Possession: Absolute Omniversal Void Watch; Constructed by Patrick Alexander King with the Cosmic elements of the Final Void, the Absolute Infinity conceptions, and the endless and unmeasurable Omniverse-verse - Has absolute infinite dimensions, contains the energy core of infinite Omniverses - Has passive eternal upgrading, can only be worn by Patrick Alexander King - Has Time/Space/Reality self-control]
Looking at the watch's description, Patrick didn't have the slightest expression. To him, his watch was just like any other watch, to tell time, despite his watch being a literal Self-God of its existence that's only connected to him. Still keeping his eyes on the watch, which had the design of the cosmos inside it, Patrick spoke.
"My wives will be returning now. Raleigh, make something a little fancy; I want my wives to feel welcomed, and don't forget, we have a guest."
"As the Supreme Creator commands."
Raleigh respectfully bowed his head towards Patrick as his system interface opened the next moment.
[Passive Skill: Reality/Dimension Administrator; Can create, manipulate and destroy any concept of reality that is already known in existence and beyond]
As Raleigh's first Eternity system sounded, the view changed from the Inn's dining hall to an ice land with blazing ice storms in the background. But despite the catastrophic environment, the scene was chaotic yet dangerously romantic; that was because in the middle of the devastating ice blizzard ice storms was a glass-made dining lodge, with the glass being a see-through all around. Meaning one could see the entire outside from the inside.
Sitting in the glass-made lodge, Patrick got up from the inn chair he was sitting on and steadily walked to where he wanted to sit. The moment Patrick rose, Raleigh looked at the chair as it melted in liquid fabrics of reality. And as Patrick was about to sit down, a majestic black sofa throne timely materialized behind him, making the scene look perfect. Then a long white table materialized in the center of the room, followed by three white thrones, similar but less than Patrick's.
The three white thrones were situated next to Patrick, two on his right and one on his left, and at the far end of the table was another chair, this chair was simply a luxurious sofa, and it was blue-colored. Finishing his setup, Raleigh clapped once as six humanoid beings with human female characteristics instantly appeared in the room, each holding a food plate. The six females wore white suits with white gloves; they then gently settled the foods on the table and slowly retreated, like a group of well-trained butlers.
Seeing the setup, Patrick smiled as he approved Raleigh's arrangements; he spoke.
"Now, time to match the venue."
As he spoke, his Void watch changed color from black to white; his grey cultivation robe changed to a majestic white robe with black dragon and snake designs, and his boots also changed to a luxurious cultivation boot, but his ten black rings of Omnivastance remained the same, which was black. Raleigh only changed his red pocket handkerchief to white and his gold pocket watch to white, matching his master's color.
With everything set and ready, Patrick watched as a space door opened directly into the dining room; he slowly got up and stretched his arms wide, saying with a smile.
"Welcome back, my dear lovely wives."
