“What? Your son has actually passed the tests for the Courtyard of Ways and joined them?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was surprised at first, but he soon smiled resplendently. “Fellow Scarlet Fire, congratulations! He will spread his wings and rise up after joining the Courtyard of Ways. He will undergo a complete metamorphosis. Your son’s future potential is unlimited.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s compliments were completely sincere. He understood exactly how difficult it was to enter the Courtyard of Ways. Without any exaggeration, those who entered the Courtyard of Ways could no longer be described as prodigies. They could only be described as absolute deviants.

The thirty-three heavens of the Immortals’ World did not lack prodigies. Basically each peak oragnisation had their own rising stars.

However, the Courtyard of Ways was an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of countless prodigies. Who knew how many extraordinary prodigies throughout history wanted to join the Courtyard of Ways, only to be mercilessly rejected, never to set foot beyond its doors.

That was because the tests of the Courtyard of Ways were far too difficult. Even those shining prodigies could only halt at the entrance of the Courtyard of Ways and sigh at its sight.

As a result, anyone who managed to join the Courtyard of Ways was a prodigy among prodigies.

Even if they could not remain at the Courtyard of Ways for very long, just setting foot beyond the entrance was an affirmation of talent. This was the case even if they only remained there for a few days.

As a result, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu only became so surprised when he found out that the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire’s son was joining the Courtyard of Ways.

The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire laughed happily. He made no attempt to hide his complacency and pride. To him, joining the Courtyard of Ways was not just an affirmation of talent. Its greatest value came from joining the top rungs of society. Not only was he able to meet and befriend the supreme prodigies of various peak organisations, but he could also come into contact with supreme experts that even Immortal Exalts like him could only look up to.

As a result, in the eyes of many experts, as long as they could join the Courtyard of Ways, it represented a brand new world and a brand new stage unfurling before them. It held extremely great significance.

“When the Skyscraping World opens, I’ll have to rely on you, fellow Tan Yu. I do hope you can look out for him in the Skyscraping World, fellow Tan Yu.” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire smiled.

When he heard that, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu furrowed his brows. After a moment of silence, he said apologetically, “Fellow Scarlet Fire, I must apologise. I can no longer give you the two spots that I had previously promised.”

“However, I can give you some resources as compensation. Please forgive me for this.”

“What did you say? You can’t give me the spots?” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire’s face changed. His smile immediately vanished. He stared at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu with shining eyes and said sternly, “Fellow Tan Yu, don’t tell me the page of the Skyscraping Sword Scripture that you obtained after so much difficulty, after such a great price, is no longer in your possession?”

“The Skyscraping Sword Scripture is still with me. I haven’t lost it,” said Immortal Exalt Tan Yu.

When he heard that, the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire let out a sigh of relief. He said in confusion, “Brother Tan Yu, then you are confusing me. Since you haven’t lost the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, why can’t you give me the two spots you promised me?”

The city lord of the Azure Afterglow City, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao, did not say anything, but she stared straight at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. Clearly, she was waiting for his explanation as well.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu let out a sigh. There was a hint of helplessness. “Fellow Scarlet Fire, fellow Yi Miao, you too are aware that my Immortal Rising City faced a crisis just a few days ago. This place, known as one of the three great cities of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, had almost been razed to the ground.”

“If it were not for the fact that our Immortal Rising City received the assistance of a man of generosity, perhaps this place would be in ruins already.”

“When he assisted our city, he had conditions as well, which was a spot from the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. As a result, in order to preserve our city, as well as for the sake of my brothers who roamed the world with me in the past, I could only offer up a spot from the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. I had no better options for the current peace and safety of the city.”

“As a result, I no longer have all the spots that I originally promised you.”

After hearing Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s explanation, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao came to an understanding. She had been anticipating this.

However, the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire became slightly sullen. “Fellow Tan Yu, now that’s not very nice of you. You might have done it to preserve your Immortal Rising City, but you already promised these two spots to fellow Yi Miao and me. They already belong to us. Without our permission, how can you offer our spots to others?”

“Especially fellow Yi Miao’s spot. Do you know just how much effort it took me to get fellow Yi Miao to give me this spot?”

The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire became more and more furious as he spoke. In the end, it seemed like his eyes were about to erupt with fire.

Faced with the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire’s scoldings, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s face sank as well. He said sternly, “Fellow Scarlet Fire, don’t tell me the fate of my Immortal Rising City means absolutely nothing in your eyes? You need to be aware that if my Immortal Rising City fell and the Skyscraping Sword Scripture was taken, you wouldn’t get all of your spots anyway.”

“I don’t care. Since the Skyscraping Sword Scripture is with you, then I want all of the spots, no more, no less,” the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire said seriously.

“Fellow Scarlet Fire, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu only did that to save the Immortal Rising City, so let’s just forget about this.” Immortal Exalt Yi Miao tried to persuade him.

The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire completely disregarded her attempt at persuasion. He sneered and said, “You’ve already given your spot to me. You’re obviously not losing out, so of course, you don’t care. That spot is extremely important to me. Not only does it affect whether my eldest son can become an Immortal Exalt, but it also affects my youngest son’s status and future at the Courtyard of Ways.”

“Tan Yu, I don’t care how you saved the Immortal Rising City. I only want the two spots that belong to me. Don’t you even think about taking those spots from me.” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire stared straight at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu. He was being completely unreasonable.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was infuriated as well. His voice gradually turned cold. “A hundred thousand years ago, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao and I were invited to the Yi Immortal City as guests. As we had a good time, I declared that I would try and obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture for the fortune of reaching the Third Heavenly Layer. As a result, you joked that if I managed to obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, I had better give fellow Yi Miao and you the two other spots. I happily agreed back then, as I only needed one of these spots. There was nothing wrong with giving away the other two.”

“When I fought for the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, you did absolutely nothing. Not only that, but when my Immortal Rising City faced destruction, you did not provide any assistance either. In the end, when the Immortal Rising City was on the brink of annihilation and I had run out of options, I was forced to exchange one of these spots to rescue the city.”

“I truly feel guilty over losing the spot that I promised you, so I planned on compensating you through other methods.”

“In the end, you refuse to understand my difficulties and instead blindly scold me in such a self-righteous manner. You care nothing for my safety. You care nothing for the survival of my Immortal Rising City. The only thing that exists in your eyes are your own interests.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu stared straight at the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire and said firmly, “Fellow Scarlet Fire, why don’t you think about if you had ever provided any assistance at all when it came to fighting for the Skyscraping Sword Scripture or when my Immortal Rising City faced a crisis?”

“Tan Yu, I never said that I would assist you with fighting for the Skyscraping Sword Scripture. As for the crisis that your Immortal Rising City faced, hmph, which one of our three great cities doesn’t have their own problems to deal with?” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire was just as self-righteous as before.

“So be it. You’ve already said all that. I don’t want to say anything more. You might as well call me a faithless little man this time. You’re not getting any of the two spots I promised you anymore,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu lost his calm as well and said resolutely.

“City lord Tan Yu, you are obstructing my sons’ path of cultivation? If my sons’ path of cultivation is obstructed because of you, have you ever considered the consequences?” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire stood up slowly. He balled his fists firmly and ground his teeth.

“Hahahaha, since when did I become an obstacle for your youngest son in the Courtyard of Ways? City lord Scarlet Fire, I won’t be seeing you off.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu laughed aloud and directly asked him to leave.

“Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, you faithless little man. Let’s see what happens!” The Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire held back his urge to fight him. After forcing out that threat through his teeth, he turned around and left in a huff.

“Sigh, this is just how the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire is like. Fellow Tan Yu, don’t take his words to heart. When we head back, I’ll try and calm him down some more. He truly has gone too far with this.” Immortal Exalt Yi Miao sighed after the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire had left. A hint of helplessness flashed across her beautiful and icy face. “Tan Yu, you aren’t actually in the wrong. Neither the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire nor I owe you anything. You have no obligation to give us these spots. After all, you risked your life to obtain the Skyscraping Sword Scripture, and we did nothing at all. We would be ashamed to accept these spots from you.”

“If you managed to use a spot to resolve the danger that the Immortal Rising City faced, you were extremely fortunate.” Reaching there, Immortal Exalt Yi Miao paused before reminding him. “Though, you need to be careful about the Immortal Exalt of Scarlet Fire. He’s stubborn and has a fiery temper. He is someone who bears grudges. Be careful of him making trouble in the future.”

“In particular, ever since his seventh son joined the Courtyard of Ways, his confidence has swelled. Under these circumstances, even the expert who helped you resolve the Immortal Rising City’s danger might not be able to keep him at bay.”

“The fact that you can understand my difficulties brings me some comfort. As for whether Scarlet Fire will come after me because of this, hmph, I’ve even survived the near-destruction of the Immortal Rising City. Am I supposed to be afraid of trouble from him?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s voice gradually turned cold.
