Novel Full Chapter 467: Most Beautiful Creature
As they discussed their experiences, Asha couldn’t help but murmur his dissatisfaction.
“Father, you had to avenge us! We nearly died in the 100-year trial because someone were bullying us!” Asha held his hand, acting pitifully.
“What?! Who dared to bully you?”
“It was one of the direct disciples! Because we didn’t want to be her followers, she was harassing us. Because of this, Sister Lily decided that we take on the 100-year trial to become core disciples,” Asha explained.
The others also looked aggrieved.
Although they had successfully completed the 100-year trial, they had suffered and nearly died in the process.
If not for this so-called direct disciple, they would have remained dormant in the Immortal Palace Sect for a few thousand years before attempting the 100-year trial.
If they had perfect foundations, possessing a hundred million magnitude of power, how easy would it have been to complete such a trial?
Unfortunately, a regular disciple couldn’t match the status of a direct disciple.
Even though they couldn’t openly violate the sect’s rules, their status still gave them the power to openly bully them.
Thinking that something would happen to them sooner or later, Lily decided they should take the core disciple trial after some consideration.
Although a direct disciple was still higher in standing than a core disciple, a core disciple still had a status that they couldn’t touch.
With their current status, unless it was the sect leader, even an elder couldn’t order them around.
“Is that so?” Maximus frowned, thinking of how to make these kinds of scums regret what they had done.
If not for the cleverness and ability of these girls, they might have suffered a catastrophe.
While Maximus was deep in thought, a woman barged into the courtyard.
Sensing her strength, Maximus quickly became alert.
A Tier 11 individual mastering the River of Law! This was on another level than a regular Tier 11 powerhouse.
“Teacher Alexandra, you’re here!” Lily and the others greeted the woman.
“I’m here to congratulate you on becoming core disciples. I didn’t expect you to progress this fast,” Alexandra said sincerely.
As their introducer, Alexandra couldn’t help but feel emotional, like seeing her crop bloom overnight.
“It’s because of your help, teacher; otherwise, we couldn’t even take the trial,” Lily thanked her.
“That’s right! Without Teacher Alexandra, we might still be regular disciples!”
“Hahaha, it’s because you kids are talented.” Seeing their gratitude, Alexandra couldn’t help but be happy.
Turning her attention to Maximus, Alexandra grew serious, “Is this your father?”
“I’m sorry I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Maximus Shadowcrest, the father and grandfather of these girls,” Maximus said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Although the woman before him mastered a River of Law, Maximus had to maintain some bearing to uphold the status he was portraying.
“Maximus? How did you get that guest pass? Where is it from?” Alexandra questioned.
“Hmm? Does it matter?” Maximus didn’t answer directly and just smiled.
“It doesn’t matter to me, but the Immortal Palace Sect Master wants to meet with you,” Alexandra smiled back.
Maximus’ guest pass signified that he was an inheritor of one of the top sects, families, or even one of the overlords.
Although she could crush Maximus with just the tip of her finger, it would cause chaos in the Aeon Plane.
“Want to meet me?” Maximus frowned, feeling uneasy.
If he faced Alexandra, he could still escape, but facing the sect master, who was probably a master of the Ocean of Law, Maximus could only wait for death.
“When will we meet?” Maximus asked as if ready to face death.
If he didn’t want to implicate his daughters and granddaughters, Maximus had to meet this mysterious sect leader.
This was the consequence of being high-profile; he had to face danger head-on.
“Now. The sect leader awaits you in the Immortal Palace Primordial Domain…” Alexandra said, waving her hand and teleporting them to the place.
Looking at the now-empty courtyard, Lily and the others looked at each other.
“Is Father in danger?” Lydia asked nervously.
“Father should be alright. He must be fine…” Lily said though she was not entirely confident.
“Maybe Grandfather will even seduce the sect leader~” Lila joked.
“What are you thinking with your head? Be serious!” Asha said, smacking Lila on the head.
“Hehe, who knows…”

Immortal Palace Primordial Domain:
Looking at the misty, immortal-looking place, Maximus felt like he had ascended to a fairyland.
In the middle was a small pavilion where a woman leisurely appreciated the scenery.
Seeing the woman, Maximus felt mesmerized, his heartbeat regaining its long-lost vigor.
He seemed to have seen the most beautiful thing in his life.
Even the fairy-like atmosphere paled in comparison as if an immortal had descended into the mortal world.
“How is it? Beautiful, right?” Alexandra chuckled, seeing his dazed expression.
The Immortal Palace Sect Leader, Iris, was hailed as the most beautiful creature in the Aeon Plane.
Whether male, female, race, or state, no one had been more beautiful than Iris since she was born.
According to legend, when Iris was born, another color lit up on the Aeon Plane.
“Alexandra, stop flattering me and bring the guest to sit,” Iris said plainly.
However, in Maximus’ ears, it seemed like a heavenly voice, making him dizzy.
“This is an illusion! A seduction technique! Or an aura possessed by those who mastered the Ocean of Law!” Maximus repeatedly reminded himself.
He knew his priorities; this woman might kill him instantly if he showed any discourtesy.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Maximus Shadowcrest, here to visit my family in your sect.” Calming his heart, he turned to the Immortal Sect Leader and slightly bowed.
“Don’t be so formal, come sit,” Iris said lightly as if she were a normal person entertaining guest.
Maximus nodded and sat opposite the woman.
“I’m Iris, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Palace Sect. I have heard about what happened to your daughters and granddaughters. As the sect leader, it was my oversight that caused such bullying. For that, I sincerely apologize.” Iris apologized sincerely.
Although she wanted to turn the Immortal Sect into a pure land for women like herself to have a home, she also had a path to pursue and couldn’t micromanage the sect all the time.
“It’s fine. Nothing bad happened; instead, it made them stronger both physically and mentally. For this, I have to thank Elder Alexandra for her help. I only wish that such a thing does not happen again.”
Although angry, Maximus couldn’t blame those not involved in the situation.
“Don’t worry, I will impose punishment on the individuals involved in this case…” Iris said lightly.
“Thank you.”
“Hmm, now that that’s out of the way, can you tell me more about yourself?” Iris asked in an unquestionable tone.
This time, Maximus couldn’t escape any longer; he felt that as soon as he lied or made something up, he would be killed instantly.
Maximus couldn’t understand why he felt this way in front of such a gentle woman who was even willing to apologize for a mistake she didn’t make.
“Could it be because of the difference in power?” Maximus thought but quickly dismissed it.
Although he didn’t feel any killing intent, every part of his body seemed to be screaming in danger.
Finally, after deliberation, he nodded, ready to reveal his identity.
Passing the Tier 9 Virtual Trial was not a secret matter.
Besides, the overlords and top officials of the dimensional alliance knew his identity.
What’s the problem with one more person knowing?
“I can, but…” Maximus nodded at Iris’ question and then turned to Alexandra.
Understanding his meaning, Iris waved her hand to Alexandra. “Leave us be. This gentleman and I have something to talk about.”
“Yes, Sect Master!” Although curious, Alexandra hurriedly bowed and left.
“Now, can you tell me who you really are?” Iris asked, squinting her eyes.
She knew all the successors of the three overlords, sects, and families.
Even the most secretive ones were on her list, but she had never heard of this man.
From what she could tell, he was undoubtedly from a Tier 9 dimension.
However, possessing an ultimate physique and perfect foundation, even surpassing that of the immortal seedlings of the sect, Iris couldn’t help but be curious.
“All that I have said is true. The reason I was able to obtain such an identity was because I passed the 161,803rd floor of the Tier 9 Virtual Trial.”
“You passed that trial?!” Iris’ eyes widened in disbelief.
Since the Dimensional Alliance conceived the Virtual Trial, no one had ever passed it.
Even they, the almighty, who mastered the power of the Ocean of Law, couldn’t pass the trial after suppressing their strength.
They either stopped at the 161,801st floor or at the 161,802nd floor.
Some even mocked the Dimensional Alliance for wasting manpower and resources to build a tower that no one could ever pass.
Hearing that Maximus had passed such an impossible trial, Iris felt her worldview shatter.
