Adam Brooks felt a surge of joy in his heart: this Evan Carter was a direct disciple of the renowned The Carter Family, one of the most famous clans in the Immortal Realm. The The Carter Family controlled “Jizhen Cave,” one of the thirteen great immortal jade mines known as the “Upper Three, Lower Ten.” Although it was one of the “Lower Ten Caves,” it still made the The Carter Family fabulously wealthy! Yet this Evan Carter immortal youth was a homebody in the Immortal Realm, naturally introverted and awkward, not good at socializing. Even speaking a few words to a strange woman would leave him blushing and tongue-tied. He had ascended for several hundred years and was considered a normal “adult man” in the Immortal Realm, but he had never even been in a relationship. The union of yin and yang, dual cultivation—this was the righteous path; there were countless dual cultivation methods in the Immortal Realm, any of which would allow for much faster progress than cultivating alone.

What a pity for Evan Carter—such a handsome face and illustrious family background, yet so clumsy with words, still single to this day. But even homebodies have their needs, and Adam Brooks had put in a lot of effort to win over such a big client. Of course, high investment brings high returns: ever since Evan Carter nervously watched the first disc Adam Brooks gave him, he had… become even more of a recluse!

With discs from the kingdom of erotica and a DVD player, Evan Carter rarely left his The Carter Family residence in the prime location of “Qingping Source” in the Immortal Realm, except to visit Brooks Trading to buy new discs and batteries.

The Immortal Realm’s “Three Heavens, Six Sources, Overseas Twelve Continents, and Thirty-Six Mountains within the Universe” were all places rich in spiritual energy, perfect for cultivation—the higher the ranking, the more beneficial for one’s practice. After the “Three Heavens”—“Yu Qing Heaven, Shang Qing Heaven, Tai Qing Heaven”—came the so-called Six Sources, and Qingping Source was one of them. To have a cave residence in such a place meant you had entered the “upper class” of the Immortal Realm; it was not something that could be achieved with just a considerable amount of standard immortal jade.

The currency in the Immortal Realm was standard immortal jade. One level above that was lower-grade immortal jade, exchanged at a rate of one to one hundred. Two levels above was middle-grade immortal jade, exchanged at one to ten thousand. Three levels above was upper-grade immortal jade, exchanged at one to one million. Beyond that, the supreme immortal jade used for crafting immortal artifacts could not be so easily exchanged.

All in all, Adam Brooks had already earned three million standard immortal jade from this Young Master Carter! He was his biggest client, so General Manager Adam Brooks personally took care of him—not that he had a choice, since he didn’t have a single employee, not even a sultry receptionist to serve tea and water. In his grand development plan, that was still a distant milestone on the horizon…

“Haha, Young Carter, this is the latest release—it wasn’t easy to get!” Adam Brooks revealed the disc, and Evan Carter hurriedly snatched it, as if afraid someone might see, even though there was no “someone” here. That’s just how homebodies are.

With just a glance, he saw that the female lead was his favorite actress, and Evan Carter couldn’t help but feel his blood surge. Who says immortals have no desires? Evan Carter’s gaze landed on the two rosy points on the actress’s chest on the disc cover, and he immediately felt that the part of him that made him a man had not been left behind in the deep, mansion-like The Carter Family residence.

“All right, all right, go back and enjoy it slowly!” Adam Brooks chuckled. Evan Carter blushed, quickly put the disc away, and gratefully said, “Thank you, Brother Brooks!” Adam Brooks replied, “Young Carter, you know how serious a crime this is in the Immortal Realm. I’m taking a big risk here!”

With the technological boom in the human world, detection methods had become more and more advanced. Immortals who liked to fly around in the sky were increasingly easy to spot. So, in recent centuries, whether in the Immortal Realm or other realms like the Divine, Demon, or Buddhist Realms, strict controls had been imposed on descending to the lower world.

Take the Immortal Realm as an example: originally, only three immortal officials were responsible for investigating the crime of immortals descending to the lower world. But as enforcement intensified, three hundred years ago, the Immortal Realm established a special department—the “Imperial Inspectorate”—under the Immortal Realm’s security agency, the “Realm Security Institute,” specifically to investigate immortals who descended without permission.

And to prevent the Imperial Inspectorate from abusing its power, it was stipulated that even its officials could not descend to the lower world. In the entire Immortal Realm, unless one had the Immortal Emperor’s golden jade decree, no one could descend.

To apprehend immortals who descended without permission, the Immortal Emperor granted the Imperial Inspectorate three immortal artifacts: the Kun Dragon Whisker, the Heaven-Monitoring Net, and the Twelve Golden Command Swords. The Kun Dragon Whisker was used as a warning—once activated from the Immortal Realm, it could reach the human world and pierce the immortal veins of the offender, suppressing eighty percent of their immortal power. If the warned immortal immediately returned to the Immortal Realm, there was a chance for leniency—but even leniency meant being cast into reincarnation, left to fend for oneself.

The Heaven-Monitoring Net was used for capture. For those who refused to return, the net could be cast, easily fishing them back from the human world. The immortal artifacts bestowed by the Immortal Emperor were immensely powerful—almost no immortal could resist.

If they encountered an especially powerful immortal who had descended without permission and the first two artifacts were ineffective, then the ultimate weapon would be used: the Twelve Golden Command Swords. Twelve golden command swords in succession, with power rivaling the Immortal Tribulation itself—even a ninth-rank immortal would find it hard to escape death!
