I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 652: The End of Scorpio, Wei Tu Appears (4k, please subscribe)

"Dayan Cultivation World?"

When Alliance Leader Tan heard this, he was moved.

He had long heard about the prosperity of the neighboring immortal cultivation world, but he had never found a way to cross the endless wilderness of heaven and earth that separated the two great cultivation worlds. So even though he had the idea of ​​going to the Dayan cultivation world to look for a breakthrough opportunity, he had no choice but to give it up and was forced to continue to hide in the Dacang cultivation world.

However, he now saw from the jade slip that Wei Tu threw to him the possibility of going to the Great Yan cultivation world, as well as the possibility of achieving enlightenment and becoming a god in the Great Yan cultivation world.

Even though the possibility of the latter is very small...

But Tan Mengzhu is conceited and believes that once he has a wider world, his achievements will definitely be higher and stronger than what he has now.

Even if one cannot achieve godhood, one can still go one step further and become a quasi-godhood expert.

By then, after becoming a quasi-god, the state of god transformation will be within reach again.

"Thank you, Venerable Wei."

After roughly reading the contents of the jade slip, Alliance Leader Tan bowed to Wei Tu to thank him, and as usual, took out a "Tian Ming True Page" and handed it to Wei Tu.

What he meant was obvious.

Only after Wei Tu swore a soul oath on the Tianming True Page, would he help Wei Tu to complete the act of "patricide".

Wei Tu had anticipated this and naturally would not resist.

After he swore the soul oath, he looked deeply at Alliance Leader Tan and disappeared from the spot.

At this time, the Scorpio Patriarch and Gong Shulan, who had disguised themselves, rushed from outside the city and arrived slowly. They sent talismans to the cave where Alliance Leader Tan was.

……

Lean less.

In the living room of the cave, Alliance Leader Tan invited Scorpio Patriarch as the guest of honor and ordered the maid to pour tea and water for him.

"Fellow Daoist Tianxie, why are you here?"

Leader Tan pretended to be ignorant.

After the words fell, Gong Shulan, who was sitting next to the Scorpio Patriarch, had a calm expression on her face, but her heart was tense, fearing that the conspiracy between her and Wei Tu would be leaked.

After all, this was a matter of life and death for her.

"Shulan is still trustworthy. You and I don't have to act in front of her."

The Scorpio Patriarch did not immediately answer the question raised by the Alliance Leader. He waved his hand and said this first.

"Dad." Upon hearing this, Alliance Leader Tan's face immediately showed a hint of respect and he called out "Dad".

Hearing this respectful title, there was a hint of satisfaction in the eyes of Scorpio Patriarch.

He did not completely trust Alliance Leader Tan, and his own son had been out of his control for a long time.

In fact, with his means, it is not easy for Alliance Leader Tan to escape from his control, but even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, so he would not scheme against his own son.

But now, since his life and death were at stake, he had no choice but to go with the flow and add an extra safety measure.

——Let Alliance Leader Tan be on guard against Gong Shulan, while using Gong Shulan to check and balance Alliance Leader Tan to prevent him from taking action against him.

As one of the most famous "old antiques" in the Da Cang cultivation world, he has many treasures on him, which are very coveted by his son.

Now, he told Gong Shulan the secret about his father-son relationship with Alliance Leader Tan, and personally pointed out this relationship in front of Alliance Leader Tan, just to tell Alliance Leader Tan that Gong Shulan was his confidant and different from other disciples.

"Reincarnating as a celestial ghost is a serious matter. If I go to the secret cave I set up before, I will be easily discovered. That's why I came to you..."

The Scorpio Patriarch paused and told the reason why he came to discuss the alliance leader's cave.

Upon hearing this, Gong Shulan's mind suddenly became clear as a mirror. She knew that the Scorpio Patriarch did not have 100% trust in his son.

Otherwise, the real reason would not have been hidden from him.

——Ancestor Scorpio did not seek out Alliance Leader Tan and ask him to protect him because he was worried that his secret cave would be discovered.

Instead, her soul was severely damaged, and he had to take away the soul from her sea of ​​consciousness to make her "soul heal itself". In the process, he came to the cave of Alliance Leader Tan to guard against her.

"It seems that Alliance Leader Tan has most likely... been convinced by Fellow Daoist Wei." Gong Shulan's eyes flickered slightly, and she used the excuse of drinking tea to hide her emotional fluctuations.

as predicted.

During the subsequent greetings between the two, Alliance Leader Tan did not inform Patriarch Tianxie of the earth-shaking "changes" that had recently taken place in Shengya Mountain in Xiao State, as if he had deliberately concealed this information.

However, from the perspective of the Scorpio Patriarch, there was no "change" in the situation of Alliance Leader Tan.

Still the same as before.

Because no matter how imaginative he was, it was hard for him to imagine that in just less than half a year, Ding Lezheng, the only true god who had dominated the Da Cang cultivation world for more than two hundred years, was now dead and replaced by Wei Tu, a person he had never expected.

After the greetings, Alliance Leader Tan wasted no time and took Patriarch Scorpio directly to another secret retreat room deep in the cave.

"This is the array plate of the secret room here..."

Alliance Leader Tan took out a white jade array plate from his sleeve, handed it to the Scorpio Patriarch, and said.

The formation of the retreat room in a large cave is often not interconnected with the main formation of the cave and is a separate formation.

This is for the safety of the cave owner.

Seeing that Alliance Leader Tan was so sensible, Old Ancestor Scorpio felt relieved and extremely satisfied. He felt more and more that the decision to train Alliance Leader Tan and his descendants was the right one.

In the world of immortal cultivation, blood relations are often not a good thing for cultivators, especially for "demon cultivators" and "evil cultivators" like him.

Where there is blood relationship, there will be flaws.

Because this represents one's own traces, which may be found by enemies through the blood-attracting secret technique.

However, he was born a mortal and attached great importance to the issue of succession and continuation of the family line. Therefore, after he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he deliberately left behind Alliance Leader Tan, a blood relative with good qualifications, in the righteous area to train and cultivate him in secret.

Hard work pays off. Alliance Leader Tan’s achievements today are no less than his. He is now the well-known leader of the Feixian Alliance in the righteous region.

"After I am reincarnated as a celestial ghost and break through to the quasi-god state, I will definitely help you reach this state as well."

The Scorpio Patriarch patted Alliance Leader Tan on the shoulder and made a promise.

After saying this, the Scorpio Patriarch called out to Gong Shulan and asked her to follow him into the secret retreat room.

……

This secret retreat room is called a retreat room, but in fact, it is also a scaled-down version of a cave, which has everything you need, such as an animal room, an alchemy room, a living room, etc.

After entering the cave.

The smile on the face of Scorpio Patriarch faded. He glanced at Gong Shulan indifferently and ordered Gong Shulan to sit cross-legged.

"Shulan, among all the disciples, you have the highest aptitude. In order to prolong my life, I covet your body... This is also normal behavior in the devil's way..."

"Shulan, what do you think?"

Gong Shulan's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly heard this voice in her ears. She immediately realized that this was a test of the Scorpio Patriarch's "loyalty" to her. As long as she could pass this test, the old demon would take away the soul in her sea of ​​consciousness.

"My disciple approves."

Gong Shulan knelt down and bowed, saying respectfully, "Without Master, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Seven hundred years ago, my disciple mistakenly entered the Demon Wolf Mountain Range, and it was Master who saved me."

“Without the support of the master, even if the disciple has high aptitude and is lucky enough to join a righteous sect, it is difficult for him to reach 300 golden cores, 500 Nascent Souls… and now, to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul…”

Gong Shulan explained the main idea that there are rewards only when there are risks.

Although she was cultivated by the Scorpio Patriarch as a "body for possession", it was also because of this that she obtained resources that were difficult for ordinary righteous geniuses to obtain, as well as the careful cultivation of the Scorpio Patriarch.

In the world of immortal cultivation, aptitude is useful, but it does not determine everything. Whether it is a righteous sect or a demonic sect, most of them give priority to cultivating blood relatives, and then the disciples under the master-disciple lineage.

The second generation of immortals with superior spiritual roots will generally be given priority in terms of training level over the spiritual roots of geniuses from poor families.

Without the support of Patriarch Scorpio, she would probably have difficulty getting through even the Nascent Soul stage.

"I am very pleased that you have this heart."

The Scorpio Patriarch nodded slightly and gently closed his palm, closing the "weird vertical pupil" in his palm that was staring at Gong Shulan's every move.

The monks' thoughts are hard to predict.

Gong Shulan is a female cultivator who is used to acting as a puppet to deceive people.

Therefore, he did not believe all of Gong Shulan's answer, only a small part of it.

However, based on his observations just now, he was also certain that, without the interference of unexpected factors, this closed disciple would most likely not betray him when he was reincarnated as a celestial ghost.

And this is enough.

"Today, I will set you free."

The Scorpio Patriarch turned around, narrowed his eyes, walked to Gong Shulan, raised his right hand, and grabbed into the void.

Not long after, a black scorpion the size of an apricot kernel, condensed from soul power, emerged from between Gong Shulan's eyebrows and was held in the palm of the hand by the Scorpio Ancestor.

This black scorpion is the soul of the Scorpio ancestor.

The black scorpion fell into the hands of the Scorpio Ancestor, and soon drilled into the Scorpio Ancestor's body like water.

With the nourishment of this split soul, the pale complexion of Scorpio Patriarch suddenly showed obvious improvement, and his aura also became more restrained.

"Thank you, ancestor."

Seeing this, Gong Shulan's eyes showed joy and she respectfully thanked the Scorpio Ancestor.

"You go down and wait for me outside the retreat room with Tan'er." The Scorpio Patriarch waved his hand, signaling Gong Shulan to leave.

Now, although he has taken the "split soul" from Gong Shulan's body, the restrictions on Gong Shulan's soul that he had placed on her are still there, and this is enough to control Gong Shulan.

"Yes, old man."

Gong Shulan bowed slightly and walked out of the secret room.

When Gong Shulan left, the formation of the secret retreat room was activated, isolating it from the outside world.

Seeing this, Alliance Leader Tan and Gong Shulan looked at each other subconsciously.

Then, Gong Shulan walked to another room separated from the retreat room.

After a few breaths, spatial fluctuations were heard in the room, as if a teleportation array had been activated.

But the Scorpio Patriarch, who was shielded by the formation, was still unaware of it. He sat down in the secret room where he was in seclusion, took out the jade box he got from the Wanyin Sect from the storage ring on his finger, and slowly removed the sealing talisman on it.

The next moment, a terrifying colorful light burst out from the jade box, illuminating the entire room.

After waiting for a while, the spiritual light gradually faded, revealing the true appearance of the treasure in the jade box.

This thing is black jade in color all over and looks similar to ginseng, except that it has eight orifices on its head.

This orifice, one more than the seven orifices in a human head, is located in the center of the skull, and exudes pure netherworld energy.

“Could this acupoint be the legendary “Yellow Spring Eye” of the Heavenly Ghost Clan?”

The Scorpio Patriarch was slightly excited.

The extra hole of "Yellow Spring Eye" is not just for decoration. It is the difference between the Sky Ghost Clan, a superior spiritual race, and the human race, a mortal race.

The "Yellow Spring Eye" can communicate with the underworld and understand yin and yang.

To be able to communicate with the Netherworld means to be able to find the spatial location of the Netherworld, a superior interface, and to draw the Netherworld's energy from it to irrigate one's body.

This means that the Sky Ghost Clan does not need a spiritual place to practice and can continue to become stronger.

And Xiao Yin Yang...

It is the magical power of the Yellow Spring Eye that can see through the yin and yang changes of all things in the world.

After a brief excitement, the Scorpio Patriarch calmed down and began to peel off his soul from his body and Nascent Soul one by one, preparing for the ceremony of reincarnation as a celestial ghost.

only--

Right now.

He suddenly realized that there seemed to be the presence of a strange monk in the secret room.

"How could there be someone else?"

"impossible!"

The Scorpio Patriarch frowned, and began to doubt his own spiritual intuition. After all, he had checked this secret room several times before, and there was no secret door or other people hiding.

However, although he had doubts, he did not let his guard down. He moved his spiritual sense and prepared to scan the source of the aura.

But just at the moment when his spiritual consciousness moved.

Then he saw Wei Tu, who was looking down at him from a high position in front of him.

One of them was wearing a green robe and had an ordinary complexion, but at this moment his face was full of amusement, as if he was looking at him as if he was a fool.

"Weitu?"

The Scorpio Patriarch was stunned. He couldn't understand how Wei Tu could easily break into the retreat room guarded by Gong Shulan and Tan Mengzhu, two late Nascent Soul stage warriors.

But this shock did not last long.

The next moment, he understood.

Because when he was making hand gestures and preparing to return his soul to his body to fight the enemy, he instantly felt the powerful spiritual consciousness emanating from Wei Tu's body, which directly "frozen" him.

It made his soul unable to move.

This powerful spiritual consciousness is only possessed by cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Weitu has become a god? How is that possible?"

The Scorpio Patriarch couldn't believe this fact. After all, Wei Tu's age was just a fraction of his. It would be difficult for him to achieve that realm in his entire life, so how could it be possible for this young generation to achieve it?

But he had to believe it.

Without this explanation, how can we explain the fact that Wei Tu bypassed Tan Mengzhu and Gong Shulan and broke into his secret retreat room?

"As expected of the Scorpio Ancestor, the strength of his soul can actually sense Wei's arrival."

At this time, Scorpio Patriarch heard Wei Tu's appreciative words.

But when the Scorpio Ancestor heard this, he found it very irritating.

As a great evil giant in the Da Cang cultivation world, how could he be criticized by a junior like Wei Tu at this moment?

However, when he thought about the possibility that Wei Tu had already become a god, the anger in his heart inevitably weakened a lot.

"Weitu, what are you doing here?"

The Scorpio Patriarch gritted his teeth and used the "soul fluctuations" of his immobilized soul to transmit a message to ask Wei Tu.

He did not address Wei Tu with any respect. After all, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Wei Tu had come here with no good intentions.
