I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Therefore, after resting for a while, Wei Tu and the others did not hesitate and immediately appeared in front of Zi Chi Jun and Yu Long Clan Dragon Lord in a flash.

"I can hand over a portion of my original divine soul, but... this divine soul can only be controlled by Fellow Daoist Wei. No other cultivator is allowed to touch this 'original divine soul' of mine..."

"I also hope that Fellow Daoist Wei can fulfill his previous agreement and return this wisp of 'original divine soul' to me again two thousand years later."

At this moment, upon seeing Wei Tu and the others reappear, the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan, after a brief moment of cold glare, also made his own demands.

Regarding this scene.

Wei Tu and others were not surprised.

After quickly eliminating Mr. Cloud Falcon and Mr. Divine Elephant, the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan, trapped in the formation and 'isolated and helpless', would hardly have any intention of resisting.
Surrender was their only option.

However, now that the situation has changed, he is also worried that the preferential treatment previously offered may change further.

After all, that "two-thousand-year agreement" was proposed by Wei Tu before Mr. Yun Jun and Mr. Shen Xiang died.

In other words, as long as Wei Tu agrees to the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan's surrender condition at this moment, today's great battle can come to an end.

"Two thousand years... I wonder if Wei Tu will agree. In such a short time, even with his immortal foundation, it's hard to imagine that he will be able to face the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan without fear after two thousand years..." Tian Yizi's eyes flickered slightly, neither expecting nor opposing the outcome.

Simply put, whichever way this matter develops, it will benefit him and the Seeking Wish Sect.

Two thousand years later, if Wei Tu truly reaches the level where he is fearless against the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan, his status as an ally of the 'Wish-Seeking Cult' will be tantamount to indirectly strengthening the 'Wish-Seeking Cult's' power.

Conversely, if they do not possess such strength two thousand years later, they will suffer the most tragic fate—having no choice but to hastily 'flee' from the Feathered Dragon Clan and wander to other realms.

Therefore, it means that the "Prayer Church" has gotten a huge advantage.

Of course, this is on the premise that the two keep their promise and do not suddenly go back on their word.

However, at this moment, the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan seemed to have guessed what Tian Yizi and the others were thinking, and sneered:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, you don't need to think about what words to use to deceive me. If I break my promise, I won't mind sacrificing my own life in front of 'Ancestor Ao' and taking you down with me..."

The Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan issued a direct warning.

The implication is quite simple.

His confidence in facing Wei Tu and the others has never changed from beginning to end; it is the legacy of 'Old Ancestor Ao'.

This point remains unchanged regardless of whether Mr. Yun Jun or Mr. Shen Xiang live or die.

If Wei Tu were to impose any more harsh conditions, or break his promise in the future, he would not mind sacrificing his own future to reveal today's events to 'Old Ancestor Ao'.

At that time, Wei Tu and the others will not only be facing a Dragon Lord of the same realm, but the entire Feathered Dragon Clan, as well as the Tribulation Transcending Immortal, 'Ancestor Ao'.

However, Wei Tu did not show much surprise upon hearing this.

After a slight flicker in his eyes, he nodded and agreed to the conditions proposed by the Feathered Dragon Clan's Dragon Lord.

For him, it would be a terrible thing if the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan lost his hope of escaping in one or two thousand years and became 'unrestrained'.

His concerns mean that he is trying his best to protect him in the spirit world and among the Feathered Dragon Clan, so as not to expose the secret agreement made at the Treasure Sun Divine Tower today.

As for two thousand years from now...

There's no need to be overly afraid of this.

After all, once you're on that pirate ship, it's not so easy to get out.

Zi Chi Jun, Tian Yi Zi, and Xuan Ling Xian Zi will all be his most steadfast allies.

—The Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan can deal with him alone, but can he possibly eliminate all of these people?

Moreover, with the assistance of the 'Holy Emperor's Tomb', barring unforeseen circumstances, two thousand years later, his cultivation level would certainly not still be stuck at the 'early stage of Mahayana'...

By then, he might not be able to defeat the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan, but he would certainly be more than capable of protecting himself.

"But Dragon Lord, you must also remember that in front of outsiders, we must continue to maintain harmony..."

Wei Tu smiled faintly and reminded the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan.

"I am aware of this."

"There's no need for fellow defenders of morality to remind us..."

Seeing that Wei Tu had agreed, the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then snorted coldly.

After speaking, he did not hesitate any longer. He raised his hand to touch his brow, took out a 'blood-red dragon' that looked like a phantom, and then flicked his sleeve, using his magic to hand it to Wei Tu.

At this moment, Wei Tu also grabbed the 'blood-red dragon' into his palm. After seeing that it was indeed a part of the 'original divine soul' of the Feathered Dragon Clan's Dragon Lord, he nodded slightly and said 'good'.

As soon as he said this...

The tense atmosphere around them instantly dissipated.

“As for Fellow Daoist Zi, there’s no need for that. After all, if something were to happen to me, Fellow Daoist would find it difficult to survive within the Feather Dragon Clan…” Wei Tu added.

Upon hearing this, Zi Chi Jun, who was awaiting his 'final judgment', couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even though he already knew why Wei Tu wouldn't lay a hand on him, hearing Wei Tu say it now still changed his mind.

"Now that we are friends, these two fellow Daoists, the 'Fleshly Buddhas,' may continue their attempts... to verify whether what I said is true or false..."

After completely turning potential enemies into allies, Wei Tu then brought up the old matter again, indicating that Zi Chi Jun and Yu Long Clan Dragon Lord could continue to attack this "fleshly Buddha" as they had done before.

However, the two people who heard this...

Despite their great excitement, a hint of apprehension flashed across their faces when they saw the 'mummified Buddha' inside the ancient temple.

There's no other reason than that they all witnessed the tragic destruction of the Divine Elephant's 'demon body'.

To date.

Wei Tu and the others did not get too close to this 'living Buddha'.

Although they were far superior to Wei Tu and other cultivators of the same realm in terms of strength and realm, these 'differences' were almost zero in front of this 'physical Buddha' who was comparable to a Tribulation Transcending Immortal.

……

Two days later.

Seeing that they were completely unable to do anything to this 'fleshly Buddha', from the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan down to Old Ghost Pei... they all gave up the idea of ​​squeezing any benefits out of him, and instead began to think about leaving the 'Precious Sun Divine Tower'.

After all, as Mahayana cultivators of the Spirit Realm, they also bear the heavy responsibility of conquering the Zichen Realm and participating in the 'Two Realms War'.

It's impossible to be absent from this matter for too long.

However, what's even more deadly is—

After Mr. Yun Jun self-destructed and perished, the Soul-Controlling Bell in his hand, which controlled the Five Ghosts Golden Lock Formation, was also destroyed.

This means that, at present, their only possibility of leaving the 'Precious Sun Divine Tower' is to forcibly break through the formation...

And this is not something that can be achieved in an instant.

At this moment, Wei Tu, who was seeing the Mahayana practitioners around him activating their 'Buddhist Sutra Mind Methods' and leaving the underground palace one after another, couldn't help but glance at the 'Azure Spirit Restriction' hidden near the 'Clay Sculpture Ancient Temple' and set up by the Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor.

"This forbidden area is only 'twenty feet' away from the living Buddha... Even with Fairy Xuanling's 'Great Light Sutra' and An Liangcai's 'Indestructible Demon Body,' it's still far too dangerous..."

"Once Fairy Xuanling has fully recovered, perhaps we can find an opportunity to return here and give it another try..."

Wei Tu shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself.

The reason is simple: compared to seizing the inheritance of the 'Fleshly Buddha,' taking the treasures hidden beneath the 'Azure Spirit Restriction' that the 'Seven Treasures Demon Ancestor's' painstaking efforts are undoubtedly more promising.

However, with Tian Yizi and the others present, he couldn't act rashly... He could only wait until this matter was over before returning to this place alone and taking the risk.

……

The 'Five Ghosts Golden Lock Formation' is an eighth-order formation used by Mr. Yun Jun and others to guard against powerful Mahayana cultivators like the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan, so it is certainly no ordinary formation.

However, with the combined efforts of Wei Tu and the other six Mahayana masters to break the formation, it was broken in just a few days.

The five ugly-looking 'infant ghosts' that had become the array's cores were also shattered after a wail, leaving only a few fragmented array flags containing the power of the array, which slowly fell from mid-air.

With the formation broken, even 'Old Ghost Pei,' who had originally come here with Mr. Yun Jun and Mr. Shen Xiang, had no reason to stay any longer.

After flying out of this almost boundless chaotic area of ​​laws, he took a deep look at the cultivators, then bowed and prepared to take his leave.

“Fellow Daoist Pei, there’s no need to go first. After you’ve met with the other cultivators of my ‘Seeking Wish’ sect, there’s no rush to take your leave…”

Tian Yizi suddenly spoke, calling out to Pei Laogui, who had just soared into the sky and fled into the distance.

"what?"

"Please allow us to meet?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators changed slightly.

Even though their strength was not enough to make them fear the 'Cult of Prayer' which was hiding in the shadows of the world, they had no reason to fear it.

However, the mystery surrounding its origins and strength forces them to be wary of it.

However, upon hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately guessed the profound meaning of the "head-touching" that Tian Yizi had mentioned.

This is based on the premise that the Purple Palace Realm has been 'occupied' by the Spirit Realm's tribulation.

Regardless of whether the higher-ups of the 'Prayer Sect' are still in the Purple Chen Realm, it is impossible for them to easily come to the 'Precious Sun Divine Tower' to meet with them.

Therefore, the so-called "meeting" can only be one possibility—it is similar to the "invocation of the Netherworld God" technique of the Weeping River Demon Ancestor, summoning the "soul fragments" of the high-ranking members of the Prayer Cult to meet here.

"To formally meet the Weeping River Demon Ancestor?"

Thinking of this, Wei Tu felt a surge of anticipation.

After all, he possessed the magic restriction that An Liangcai had taught him... the one that controlled the Weeping River Demon Ancestor.

"Our Wish Sect has never participated in the conflicts of the Spirit Realm... Although the Dragon Lord is the patriarch of the Feathered Dragon Clan, he can also be considered a member of our Wish Sect, which does not contradict his status... Even if the Dragon Lord does not wish to have too much involvement with our sect, this 'meeting' is still a great opportunity for the Dragon Lord to discern the true strength of our sect..."

After stopping Pei Laogui, Tian Yizi suddenly smiled and said this to the Dragon Lord of the Feather Dragon Clan, who was the most sensitive and easily attracted attention among the cultivators.

“What Fellow Daoist Tianyizi said is very true.”

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Lord of the Feathered Dragon Clan did not refute it. He nodded and waited in place with a normal expression for the arrival of the high-ranking members of the 'Wish-Seeking Cult' that Tian Yizi had mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu, Zi Chi Jun, and Xuan Ling Xian Zi exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly with a hint of ambiguity in their eyes, without raising any questions.

next moment.

As Tian Yizi's lips moved slightly, wisps of dark gray mist began to slowly spread around them.

A few breaths later, an aura that Wei Tu was extremely familiar with also appeared here.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious female phantom, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe and with a white veil covering her face, slowly emerged from the gray mist.

only--

The moment the woman appeared, a look of surprise appeared on her rosy cheeks as she stared incredulously at Wei Tu in the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, his expression changed to one of deep hatred.

It was as if Wei Tu harbored a deep-seated hatred towards him.

However, in an instant, she realized something, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at 'Tian Yizi' who was chanting incantations with a solemn expression.

"No wonder, no wonder this wisp of my soul was summoned here. It turns out it was Fellow Daoist Tian Yizi's doing..." His eyes flashed, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he questioned Tian Yizi with these words.

"Fellow Daoist Qihe, could it be... that you have some grudge against Fellow Daoist Wei?" Upon hearing this, Tian Yizi was also taken aback. Although the incantation in his mouth did not stop, his surprised voice could be heard by anyone.

There's no other reason than that, from any perspective, Wei Tu, who suddenly rose to prominence in the past thousand years, should not have known the Weeping River Demon Ancestor, an 'old demon' who was hidden deep within the cultivation world.

It's even less likely that he would have a major grudge against this woman.

—Because, whether this woman was before becoming the Demon Ancestor or after she had become the Demon Ancestor, her strength was a powerful existence that Wei Tu could hardly contend with.

As soon as he said this...

The Demon Ancestor of the Weeping River was momentarily speechless as she split her soul. Having guessed Tian Yizi's intention, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across her face.

"This Wei Tu, in terms of his relationship with this Demon Ancestor, is practically a mentor-student bond..."

He didn't elaborate further, simply summarizing it with this statement.

However, its meaning is quite obvious.

This means that her relationship with Wei Tu at the beginning was not a simple contest of strength.

Therefore, failure is not shameful.

Although this was a cover-up, it also simply explained her extraordinary relationship with Wei Tu.

only--

After he finished speaking...

The Weeping River Demon Ancestor suddenly noticed that the few Mahayana cultivators standing beside Wei Tu who had heard these words also had a strange and indescribable look on their faces at this moment.

"Dragon Lord, Purple Dragon Lord, Mysterious Spirit Fairy, Old Ghost Pei of the Mist Ghost Clan..."

"Strange! How can there be so many Mahayana practitioners here?"

Immediately, the expression on the divided soul of the Weeping River Demon Ancestor changed again.

At the same time, she subconsciously thought of something and looked at Wei Tu with disbelief, using the divine sense of her divided soul to directly probe Wei Tu.

"Mahayana? Junior, you've already reached the Mahayana stage?" Instantly, the Weeping River Demon Ancestor's divided soul paled, and with a flash, it retreated violently.

They seemed terrified of Wei Tu. (End of Chapter)
