A mocking voice seemed to emanate from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's mouth, but the next moment, it was not the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine that responded to Wen Yu's question, but rather Mo Xuan, who stood in front of him.
Mo Xuan respectfully presented the token with both hands, then knelt down on one knee, gently placing his forehead on the ground. A voice filled with fervor spoke from Mo Xuan's lips.
“Greetings, young master!”
...
“Greetings, young master!”
Looking at the indigenous people of the Immortal Heroic World who were kneeling down following Mo Xuan, Wen Yu almost spat out the drink in his mouth!
“Young master?”
On the surface, Wen Yu remained expressionless, but deep inside, he was urgently asking the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
“A golden stripe represents the alliance leader, while the absence of a golden stripe signifies someone above the alliance leader. The only three people who can wear this clothing are...”
Ignoring Wen Yu, who was still in shock, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine continued.
“One is the founder of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, and also the first alliance leader, the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor.”
“The second is the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor's eldest disciple, an eleventh level transcendent strongman, second only to the Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Heroic World—Tian Dao. That guy should have been resurrected in the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace by now.”
“The third one is the identity I’ve arranged for you...”
The last sentence was spoken with some hesitation by the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
However, Wen Yu did not detect the oddity in the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's words. Having been hit by a massive pie in the face, his head was spinning, and he instinctively asked, “What identity?”
“The son of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, yes, the only son...”
“Son... son?”
It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and Wen Yu instantly came to his senses!
Being the son? That was quite a lot to handle.
It wasn't that Wen Yu had a psychological cleanliness issue. The Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor was of such old age and high status that being his son was more than sufficient, and he might even gain something from it.
However, being the only son of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor meant that many people were surely aware of this identity. This meant that anyone with a slightly higher status who had come into contact with the identity's real essence could easily expose Wen Yu's false identity the moment they saw him!
This identity might allow Wen Yu to get by in the lower Heavenly Palace, but once he reached the upper levels, well...
Just thinking about being chased and attacked by a large group of level 10 limit breakers wielding various foundation level artifacts made Wen Yu instantly feel the world's malice directed his way.
Sensing Wen Yu's concerns, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine let out a light sigh.
“Your son identity is definitely fake, as the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor has no sons...”
“But this identity is real, because before the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor died, this identity was already established. Aside from that kid, Tian Dao, no one can expose your false identity, and...”
“Tian Dao is also aware of the entire plan; he will actively cover for you.”
“This means you have nothing to fear. Your identity is now the only son of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, the most noble identity in the entire Heavenly Palace.”
“So, young man, do you now understand why I said that the clothing and the token are your greatest gains on this trip to the Heavenly Palace?”
Wen Yu swallowed hard.
What does being the only son of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor mean?
It means possessing the second or even the highest status in the entire Heavenly Palace. With this identity in hand...
Wait, a thought suddenly flashed through Wen Yu's mind.
He glanced oddly at Mo Xuan and the others still kneeling on the ground, not daring to move, and hesitantly said to the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine,
