Chapter 63: The Immortal King's Cave Appears, the Seventh and Eighth Sequences!
The one who found it hardest to accept was Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé, the lecherous tiger Dai Mubai.
Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.
"Blood Transformation Realm… Great Perfection? H-how is that possible?!"
Dai Mubai stared at Zhu Zhuqing on the sky screen, whose temperament had completely transformed. His teeth clenched in hatred as his eyes turned bloodshot.
"That Qian Renxue had Two-Headed Fire Rhinoceros meat and Monkey Wine, yet she only reached the early stage of the Blood Transformation Realm!"
"So why does Zhu Zhuqing achieve this result?!"
"All she does every day is work and more work. How is she two entire minor realms ahead of Qian Renxue?!"
"This isn't fair. This isn't fair!"
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Dai Mubai stared at Zhu Zhuqing's changed demeanor as if a thought had struck him. His expression froze.
"Zhu Zhuqing… don't tell me you already… gave it away?"
However, just as Dai Mubai was indulging in wild speculation, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. It was Yu Xiaogang, speaking in his usual pretentious, analytical tone.
"No. It's due to environmental differences."
"According to my latest research last night, The Ten Core Competencies of Perfect World, this terrifying disparity is related to the difference between the upper and lower realms."
"That so-called Great Wilderness is merely a lower realm, a barren land."
"But the Primordial Immortal Court exists above the upper realms, within the Immortal Domain, a colossal power established there."
"So even a single breath of air there is probably far beyond what the Great Wilderness can compare to."
"On top of that, with the foundation of the Primordial Immortal Court, even the scraps that leak from between their fingernails, unwanted servant resources, would far surpass what Qian Renxue has."
"In other words, even a pig… or myself… could reach this realm. Perhaps even higher."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang glanced somewhat pitifully at the nearly collapsing Dai Mubai in front of him and chose not to continue.
Instead, he turned around and returned to studying his Ten Core Competencies of a Perfect World.

Meanwhile,
Perfect World.
Primordial Immortal Court, Servant Peak.
Zhu Zhuqing had no idea about the shock spreading across the Douluo Continent. She remained focused on the broom in her hands.
After all, in a place filled with countless powerful figures, where even a random steward could easily crush a God King, she had learned humility… and an even stronger desire for power.
"Sister Zhuqing! Sister Zhuqing!"
At that moment, an excited voice suddenly rang out from the distance.
Soon after, a young girl wearing the same servant clothes came running over like a gust of wind. She had a round face and a lively, mischievous look.
This was Zhu Zhuqing's new friend on Servant Peak, Xiao Cui.
Although she was only responsible for tending the fire in the kitchen, she was a genuine expert whose cultivation far surpassed Zhu Zhuqing's. It was even said that her ancestors were once powerful, and she knew many hidden secrets.
"What's wrong, Xiao Cui? Why are you running so urgently?"
Zhu Zhuqing stopped sweeping, wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, and asked gently.
"A huge opportunity! A heaven-defying opportunity!"
Xiao Cui ran up to her while panting. After glancing around and confirming no one was nearby, she leaned close and whispered mysteriously into Zhu Zhuqing's ear.
"Sister, have you heard?"
"In the Falling Heaven Domain, it's said that an ancient Immortal King's cave has appeared!"
"Or perhaps the burial ground of some ancient supreme being has been unearthed. It's already shaken many major forces!
Zhu Zhuqing was clearly startled.
But soon she paused, then shook her head with a bitter smile.
"An Immortal King's cave? What does that level of competition have to do with us?"
"We're just insignificant servants. Before we even get close, we'd probably be reduced to ashes by the aftershocks of those big figures fighting."
"Oh, Sister, you only know half the story!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cui stomped her foot anxiously and hurriedly explained.
"Normally, we wouldn't dare go. But this time is different!"
"I heard too many forces are going this time. Not only our Primordial Immortal Court, but also Pan King's Mansion, the Yuanchu Imperial Clan, and the Ao Family!"
"Four Immortal King-level Dao lineages gathering together!"
"And on top of that, countless Immortal clans and Immortal dynasties are going to join the excitement too!"
At this point, Xiao Cui took a deep breath before dropping another shocking piece of news.
"And I heard from Steward Liu in the kitchen… the one leading our Primordial Immortal Court this time."
"Are the legendary Seventh Sequence and Eighth Sequence Lords!"
…
Outside the Sky Screen.
When Xiao Cui's excited words were heard, the entire Douluo Continent trembled at the mention of the Seventh Sequence and Eighth Sequence.
After all, they had only just witnessed the elegance of the Tenth Sequence, Ye Qingyu.
That figure who defied heaven and slew immortals was still vivid in their memories.
And now, two even more terrifying Sequence figures had appeared.
How frightening would that be?
How powerful must they be?
The beings of the Douluo Continent did not dare think any further. A chill spread through their entire bodies.
…
Back within the Sky Screen.
After hearing Xiao Cui's gossip, Zhu Zhuqing was also slightly shocked.
"The Seventh Sequence and Eighth Sequence?"
"Exactly! You have no idea how many legends about them exist in our Immortal Domain. And after so many years, who knows how powerful the two Sequence Lords have become?"
"They're probably not far from the Immortal King Realm by now."
As she spoke, Xiao Cui's eyes sparkled with admiration.
"So, with those two leading the expedition, the core treasures of the Immortal King's cave will definitely be divided among our Immortal Court and the other great powers."
"But…"
At this point, Xiao Cui glanced at the thoughtful and shocked Zhu Zhuqing before suddenly grabbing her hand excitedly.
"Think about it. On a battlefield like that, a lot of people are bound to die."
"Servants of those clans, guards, even people with some status—they must all be carrying plenty of good things."
"And although those items are trash to those big figures, to servants like us, they're heaven-defying opportunities!"
"Even picking up a broken scripture or a damaged magical artifact would be enough to live comfortably!"
"If your luck is good, you might even undergo a complete transformation and enter the outer sect… or join an immortal dynasty under the Immortal Court!"
Xiao Cui grew more and more excited as she spoke, practically drooling.
"This is also the unspoken rule among servants of great Dao lineages."
"The big fish eat the meat, the small fish drink the soup, and the shrimp eat the mud!"
"Not just us. Even Steward Liu and Granny Wang are going to the outskirts to pick up leftovers."
"If an imperial prince from some immortal dynasty gets killed by the shockwaves and I just happen to find his storage bag, that would be perfect, hehe!"
Then Xiao Cui suddenly leaned closer and asked eagerly,
"Hey… after all that, are you going or not?"
