"Senior Brother, a Tribulation Realm elder from Beiyun Sect has personally come after us!"
"Everyone else is fighting, while I... just broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm... It's kind of..."
"Senior Brother! The enemy is about to break through the defensive formation around the forbidden ground!"
"Doesn't matter. I'll handle it."
Faced with the constantly provoking elder from the rival sect, An Nanchen chooses to...
"Trash! Trash elder, can't even take a lightning-attracting spell from a Golden Core cultivator?"

No matter the cultivator's realm, their spells carry the spiritual pressure of a True Immortal. Even the great powers can't see through the act, and all take An Nanchen for the crown prince of the Immortal Realm.

It allows him to livestream across the myriad worlds, showcase heroic deeds, gather the aura of heroism, and even bring rare goods to the audience.
