The Immortal's Wine Store

Looking at the archaic wooden door, Cornelia felt that it was even more glorious than their Bloodfallen Family's history.

"Let's go."

She suddenly heard Jiu Shen's calm voice urging her. She followed behind him and they stepped inside the world behind the wooden door.

Cornelia closed her eyes and when she opened them, she saw a world unlike any other. Her mouth gaped as she stared at the vibrant forest in front of her. It was beyond her understanding that such a magnificent sight actually exists. "This place is..."

Jiu Shen poked her and said with an impatient look. "Your father is nearby. Come with me."

"Oh, okay." Cornelia replied absentmindedly.

Jiu Shen tapped his foot and slowly flew towards the sky. Cornelia immediately trailed him while enjoying the beautiful sight down below.

"Amazing..." She muttered.

"Your father is currently training his new body strengthening technique. He is on top of that mountain right there." Jiu Shen pointed at a mountain that was covered by tall trees and thick shrubberies.

As they slowly descended, Cornelia finally spotted the figure of her father.

He was standing in front of a huge boulder with his eyes shut tight. However, when she glanced one more time at the towering boulder, she discovered that it contained a strange kind of energy that made it more durable. Perhaps it was much harder than their empire's hardest plate armor!

Suddenly, she saw Balmond opening his eyes and saw him do something so unbelievable.

Balmond already discovered the arrival of Jiu Shen and Cornelia, but he focused on completing his cultivation. He slowly walked towards the giant boulder and released his aura.

Bang!

The boulder exploded and broke into millions of tiny pieces!

It was only the power produced when he released his aura!

"Father!" Cornelia greeted him with a look of admiration on her face.

Balmond glanced at Cornelia and then towards Jiu Shen who was standing beside her. He then bowed towards Jiu Shen and said with respect. "Wine Master Jiu, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Cornelia was shocked by this, but she remained silent. Looking at the body gestures of this two, she realized something. 'Is father working for Wine Master Jiu? But isn't he also a Void God Realm expert?'

"Your daughter is looking for you. I'm also about to breakthrough, so I will take my leave now. Farewell." Jiu Shen's figure blurred before it vanished.

Looking at the empty space, the father and daughter duo was silent for a moment.

"Father, are you perhaps..." Cornelia stared at Balmond with knitted eyebrows.

Balmond sighed and cut her off. "Don't make trouble with Wine Master Jiu Shen anymore. I've already accepted him as my lord. From now on, our Bloodfallen Family will work for him."

"What?!" Cornelia was stunned upon hearing this. Although she already guessed it after seeing the interaction between the two, it was still shocking when she heard it from her father's mouth.

Balmond gazed at the horizon and muttered. "Even your father is just a bug in his presence. I don't know why a peerless individual like him came into our world, but I do know that only by following him will our Bloodfallen Family can prosper."

Cornelia was speechless. She didn't know why her father had such high evaluations about Jiu Shen. The human might be strong, but it shouldn't be too exaggerated, right?

"Anyway, why did you request Wine Master Jiu to meet me? Did something happen?" Balmond asked while looking at Cornelia.

The succubus nodded her head and said in a grave tone. "It's about Amon. He's dead."

Hm?

Balmond's aura suddenly leaked out, making Cornelia almost unable to breathe.

"What happened?"

Cornelia swiftly told him how her brother died. She also did not forget what her brother spoke about the humans. After spilling everything out, Cornelia felt the heavy burden was finally lifted off her chest.

"That foolish child!" Balmond's face contorted upon hearing everything. He knew his son was so disappointing, but he never thought that Amon would also be foolish enough to mock the humans under the eyes of many. It would have been fine if he had spoken it secretly, but the idiot said it under the eyes of many people. Even Wine Master Jiu Shen's subordinates were present when he said those demeaning words.

Balmond was a bit saddened by his death, but he was also angered by Amon's foolishness. "Just give him a proper burial. As for that Elyk... Sigh. Just let him be..."

Cornelia merely nodded her head obediently.

Suddenly, Balmond narrowed his eyes as he glanced above the darkening airspace. He could sense a heavy pressure that was about to descend!

"This is!"

"Father, is there something wrong?" Cornelia asked in surprise when she saw Balmond's expression.

Balmond pointed at the dark clouds and replied in a solemn tone. "Tribulation lightning."

Hearing this, Cornelia's eyes flickered as she glanced towards the sky. "Is it him?"

Dark clouds slowly congregated and flashes of lightning illuminated the airspace.

However, something even more shocking happened.

A huge tear in space appeared and it slowly widened, showing a hideous and huge eyeball staring at them with a profound gaze.

An overwhelming aura that covered the entire world descended, making all creatures living on the Spirit World collapse.

Balmond grabbed his daughter's hand and swiftly flew away from the mountain. He then brought her to a faraway region, but he still didn't feel safe.

"What the hell is that thing?" He nervously stared at the gigantic eyeball. He could feel that this strange creature was bearing down an enormous pressure on the Spirit World, but there was also a mysterious force that prevented it from destroying the world.

Without this mysterious force, Balmond was certain that they would be killed in just a few seconds!

"Is this Wine Master Jiu Shen's tribulation? Even the heavens don't want him to live... Just what kind of figure is he that even the heavens is jealous of his talent...."
