Exposed After I became an Immortal
Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Liu Bowen Kneels Before Zhu Xuanji!

Whoosh!

Liu Bowen’s sudden action completely bewildered Zhu Xuanji.

Zhu Xuanji had never expected Liu Bowen to have the ability to see him! What was going on? Did the system glitch again? Previously, neither his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang nor his father Zhu Biao could see him. Zhu Biao could only see him, after being revived by him.

Liu Bowen truly was remarkable! To actually see his form!

Amazing! Truly amazing.

Zhu Xuanji composed himself.

And said calmly, “Mr. Liu, long time no see!”

The reason Zhu Xuanji said this was to test Liu Bowen. To see if Liu Bowen had seen him six years ago, and just didn’t say anything.

Liu Bowen stood there, a smile flickering on his face.

“Realized Being, you are truly extraordinary! Six years have passed since we last met, and your spirit is even more remarkable than before! Your invisibility technique is unmatched in the world! If it weren’t for the Yin-Yang Eyes I gained through the Wuhou method, I would never have been able to see you!”

Liu Bowen’s candor surprised Zhu Xuanji. However, since Liu Bowen explained the reason. There was no need to dwell on it.

A guest was a guest.

All these years, Liu Bowen was the first to see him. Such a person was worth conversing with, no matter what.

Just based on Liu Bowen’s abilities, he was worth talking to.

However, Zhu Xuanji decided to create a profound and inscrutable image of himself. So, he asked calmly.

“Mr. Liu, you should be under eighty this year?”

Liu Bowen humbly bowed, saying, “Indeed! I am seventy-three this year! Still some years before reaching eighty.”

Zhu Xuanji nodded slightly.

“I observe that your vitality is waning! It seems your life is hanging by a thread. You probably only have half a year left.”

Hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed in Liu Bowen’s eyes.

“Realized Being, you truly have keen eyes! As the saying goes, at seventy-three and eighty-four, one goes to the netherworld even without being called upon! Although I am a disciple of Wuhou, I probably can’t pass this threshold. I know my days are numbered. So, before I die, I brought my disciple here to seek out the Realized Being! To ask for a favor!”

Hearing this, Zhu Xuanji became even more curious.

“Oh? You specifically came to seek me? That is interesting! I believe we have never met before and have no previous grievances! Why are you seeking me out? And what is this favor you wish to ask?”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen smiled faintly.

“Because, after that brief encounter six years ago. I knew the Realized Being was no ordinary figure! Since the day Tiemuzhen of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty marched on Zijinshan! After Realized Being Ziwei fled! For the past hundred years! No one has dared to cultivate on this mountain! Does the Realized Being know why?”

Hearing this.

Zhu Xuanji raised an eyebrow.

“Oh? Please, enlighten me!”

Liu Bowen spoke with eloquence: “Initially, it was because the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was so powerful that practitioners of the Immortal Dao feared the might of Tiemuzhen. No one dared to openly oppose him. But even after Tiemuzhen’s death, no one ventured to Zijinshan. The reason was that Tiemuzhen had set up a Great Heavenly Demon Array on this mountain, using the power of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demons.

“This array was so formidable that any Immortal Dao cultivator who dared to set foot on Zijinshan would be disoriented and suppressed. If they stayed here for more than a month, it wasn’t uncommon for them to go mad or even die from their bodies exploding.

“Even after the Mongol Yuan Divine Dynasty fragmented and both Nanjing City and Zijinshan fell under the territory of the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to cultivate on this mountain. Firstly, because of the lingering fear of the Great Heavenly Demon Array.

“Secondly, because the mountain was designated by the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the site for royal tombs. With these two factors combined, who in their right mind would dare to cultivate on Zijinshan?

“But six years ago, I saw something extraordinary! I witnessed a Realized Being cultivating on this very mountain! Not only did I see the Realized Being, but I also noticed that the Great Heavenly Demon Array set up by Tiemuzhen and the Thirty-Six Demons had vanished! All of this proves the Realized Being possesses supernatural powers, capable of not only breaking the Great Heavenly Demon Array but also remaining unafraid of the emperor’s might! This is the true elegance of the Immortal Dao!

“A Realized Being of the Immortal Dao should be like this—undaunted by imperial power, focused solely on the pursuit of the Immortal Dao! With such demeanor, this is why I have come to seek you out, Realized Being!”

Liu Bowen’s words left Zhu Xuanji somewhat embarrassed, for he had no knowledge of this Great Heavenly Demon Array set up by Tiemuzhen and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demons!

The reason he cultivated on Zijinshan was because he had no other choice! That Great Heavenly Demon Array must have been cleared by the system when it transformed Zijinshan!

However, Liu Bowen didn’t know this!

Zhu Xuanji’s face showed no emotion, he just nodded slightly.

“May I know what Mr. Liu is here for?”

At this moment, Liu Bowen suddenly fell to his knees with a thud!

Whoosh!

This caught Zhu Xuanji off-guard!

My goodness! Liu Bowen is not playing by the rules at all! What is he up to? Why did he suddenly kneel?
