I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

When Wei Tu followed the female cultivator surnamed Song to the place where Wu Xingsi and the Blood Phoenix Mountain Patriarch stayed, there was deathly silence inside the Shen Yue Gate.

"Bi Chen's soul tablet has been broken, and the ancestor has not returned to the clan yet, and has not sent a sound transmission note..."

Inside the Patriarch's Hall, the head of the Shen Yue Sect, "Dai You", had a gloomy expression. He turned his back to the group of Nascent Soul elders and silently looked at the seven broken soul tablets floating on the jade platform, and said in a low voice.

"What does the master mean?"

Inside the hall, the old man in ancient robe who was leading the group was suddenly startled when he heard this, and asked in a probing tone.

It is a crime of great disrespect to discuss the life and death of the Golden Shark Patriarch, so although he has some guesses, he dare not speak out bluntly.

"Impossible. As a venerable incarnation, no one in the world can stop the ancestor. Moreover, the place where Bi Chen and others got into trouble is only 400 miles away from the mountain gate. Even if the ancestor is defeated, he can return to the sect in time and defend the formation."

"Maybe... the ancestor was delayed by something."

An elder frowned slightly and refuted.

However, when he said this, although his words were firm, everyone present could tell that he was not being sincere.

There is no other reason. Since... the distance is only over 400 miles, why haven't you returned to the sect until now, or sent back a note to report that you are safe?
"Now is a time of trouble. Long Qianqiu was not murdered by someone back then."

"My idea is to open the soul box and take a look at the ancestor's soul tablet. If the soul tablet is intact, we should be relieved. If the soul tablet is also broken... then we should find a way out in time to extend our sect's spiritual lineage. Otherwise, everything will be ruined!"

Dai You took a deep breath and spoke in a concentrated voice.

As soon as the words fell, all the cultivators present looked at each other in bewilderment, and only a few dared to speak in response.

The soul tablet contains a wisp of the cultivator's spirit, and when the cultivator dies, the tablet will be destroyed.

On the contrary, this soul tablet is also an important item for a monk. Although it is not enough to threaten the monk's life, if someone deliberately casts a spell on it, it is enough to cause serious injury to the owner of the soul tablet.

Therefore, the soul tablets of the ancestors of a sect, such as the Golden Shark Patriarch, are all protected by layers of protection, and will not be easily allowed to be touched by their disciples unless the sect is in danger of being destroyed.

In other words, if this were done, it would be a big taboo - if the Golden Shark Patriarch was not injured and came back to punish the crime, few people present would be able to bear it easily.

But since "Dai You" had gathered all the practitioners in the sect here, he would not give up temporarily. After looking around at the practitioners, he took a deep breath, opened the many restrictions on the jade platform with the order of the sect leader, and took out the jade box containing the soul tablet of the Golden Shark ancestor in the center.

With a "click", the jade box opened, revealing a soul tablet with intricate carvings, powerful spiritual pressure, and perfection...

"The ancestor is fine! Thank goodness!"

Upon seeing this, all the practitioners present, who had been holding their breath due to nervousness, suddenly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

But - at this moment, they couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is the Golden Shark Ancestor doing now?
It's like he disappeared, without a trace or news.

However, at this moment, they were no longer worried about the safety of the Golden Shark Ancestor. After all, although the Guixu Sea was huge, there had never been anything that could trap the Golden Shark Ancestor...

The only explanation was that the Golden Shark Patriarch was delayed by something, or forgot to send the note back to the sect in time, causing his disciples to make a fuss.

"Master, the three sects advance and retreat together. Now the ancestor is delayed by something and there is no news yet. Should we notify Master Tong and Old Monster Dingyang?"

At this time, an elder from the Shenyue Sect asked.

If the Golden Shark Patriarch had suddenly encountered a powerful enemy and was late in returning... then if he could have invited Master Tong and Old Monster Dingyang to help in time, perhaps he could have turned the danger into safety.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Dai You thought for a moment, took a look at the "intact" soul tablet, and slowly shook his head.

It is true that the three factions are in alliance and advance and retreat together, but this is at the level of disciples. At the level of the God Transformation Patriarch, there is a subtle competition between the Golden Shark Patriarch and the other two.

At this moment, he had already committed a big taboo by taking the risk of opening the soul box. If he asked Master Tong and Old Monster Dingyang for help and they ended up making things worse, his position as the head of the sect would be over.

……

More than ten days later.

In the Waixu Sea, there was a desolate island. Wei Tu and the female cultivator surnamed Song, who had fled from the Shenyuemen territory, stopped and landed here.

"This is the temporary hiding place of my master and the ancestor of Blood Phoenix Mountain." The female cultivator surnamed Song introduced to Wei Tu with a slightly nervous look on her face.

No matter what her reasons were, it was an indisputable fact that she had brought a "powerful enemy" to her master who was recuperating from his injuries. She could only hope that this Venerable Wei would not break his promise.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xingsi's dissatisfied voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you lead Wei Tu here? Are you my disciple, or a disciple of Jishan Sect?"

However, perhaps because Wei Tu was present, Wu Xingsi was quite restrained when he was furious. He only questioned and did not "clean up the house" or take violent action.

Unfortunately, Wu Xingsi's consciousness was too ethereal. Even though the female cultivator surnamed Song wanted to explain herself, she had no choice but to swallow the explanation back into her stomach because she could not locate Wu Xingsi.

But this is a female cultivator named Song, not Wei Tu.

In the moment when Wu Xingsi's spiritual consciousness was released, Wei Tu, who was standing next to the female cultivator named Song, immediately sensed Wu Xingsi's specific location. With a thought, his huge spiritual consciousness instantly caught up with the thread of spiritual consciousness that Wu Xingsi had withdrawn from the ear of the female cultivator named Song.

"It is indeed against etiquette for Wei to disturb you without telling you. I hope fellow Taoist Wu will not blame me." Wei Tu smiled faintly and apologized.

As soon as this trick was leaked, Wu Xingsi, who was about to close the door to visitors, was greatly surprised and a look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.

Being in the same realm of Divine Transformation, ordinary Divine Transformation masters would never be able to sense his telepathic communication unless they were close to him.

And Wei Tu not only sensed his telepathic communication with the female cultivator named Song at this moment, but also caught up with his extremely ethereal thread of spiritual consciousness in the blink of an eye.

This method is too terrifying.

This means that Wei Tu’s spiritual awareness is several levels stronger than his.

"Friend Wu, what's wrong? Does this Wei Tu come with ill intentions?" In the cave deep in the deserted island, the middle-aged monk with a golden crown who was meditating next to Wu Xingsi saw this scene and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

When he and Wu Xingsi fought against several great gods such as Tong Zunzhe and Golden Shark Patriarch, although Wu Xingsi was afraid, he had never been as "disappointed" as he is today!
"I'm afraid that Wei Tu's realm has now reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation." Wu Xingsi's face was solemn and cold as iron as he spoke word by word.

"What, the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation?"

"How many years has Wei Tu been practicing? At most, he has only been in the Spiritualization Stage for 600 years. Where did he get the resources to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage? Jishan Sect cannot have such resources. If it did, that old ghost Han Yue would not be at the same level as us until now."

The middle-aged monk with the golden crown was stunned for a moment. While he was surprised by the words, his face gradually darkened, just like Wu Xingsi.

Seven years ago, when the three factions attacked the "Tianxing Alliance", the two of them asked for help from the Jishan Sect, hoping that the Jishan Sect could maintain the three-way balance of power for the sake of the overall situation and join forces with the Tianxing Alliance to sanction the three factions alliance.

However, after this letter for help was sent out, it fell into oblivion.

Later, he repeatedly sent his disciples to Jishan Sect to ask for help, but received no response.

Now, the situation is gradually becoming clear - after the battle of Yukong Island, although he and Wu Xingsi escaped by chance, they both suffered serious injuries and were forced to recuperate here... But at this moment, Wei Tu came?
And it came after he had achieved the "mid-stage of transformation of spirit"!

No matter how stupid they were, it was not difficult for them to figure out what Wei Tu was planning.

"An evil guest has come to our door. It seems that this time it will not end peacefully. The three gods of Jishan Sect are much more difficult to deal with than the alliance of the three sects. They are of one mind. At this moment, Wei Tu has arrived, and his Taoist partner may be lying in ambush nearby."

Wu Xingsi did not hesitate to speculate the purpose of Wei Tu's "visit" with the greatest malice.

After all, he and Wei Tu didn't have much friendship, and he hadn't been able to get help from the Jishan Sect in the past seven years. Now that Wei Tu, who had made a breakthrough in his realm, suddenly came to him, his purpose was naturally obvious.

Their idea is nothing more than the same as that of the three factions alliance, which is to seize the "Tianyi Ruins" of Blood Phoenix Mountain.

"Now, without the protection of the protective formations of Tianxing Island and Yukong Island, we are stranded on a deserted island. This is our weakest moment... It may not be easy to repel this powerful enemy." The middle-aged monk with the golden crown had an unpleasant and uncertain expression.

In his opinion, Wei Tu, who took advantage of the situation, was even more hateful than the alliance of the three factions. He had the words "sit back and reap the benefits" engraved on his forehead.

"This is not the time to be angry. We still need to find a way to escape in time."

Wu Xingsi shook his head and got down to business.

When they landed on this deserted island, the two of them had already built a teleportation array here. However, due to limited time, the teleportation array they built was only a short-distance teleportation array. A short-distance teleportation array was okay for avoiding the pursuit of the Nascent Soul, but it was not enough to avoid the pursuit of the God Transformation, and could only delay for a certain period of time.

Secondly, with Wei Tu's realm, once he sensed the spatial fluctuations when the two of them activated the teleportation array, he would definitely take action immediately and would never come to visit like a guest.

Therefore, even if he could escape temporarily with the help of the teleportation array, it would still be too late in terms of time.

"Unlike Old Monster Dingyang and the others, the two of us have not yet made a mortal enemy with Wei Tu and Jishan Sect. If we offer Tianyi Ruins Realm now, Jishan Sect will not abandon us."

"Of course, this situation should be the last consideration."

Wu Xingsi pondered for a moment and then spoke again.

Hearing this, the middle-aged monk with the golden crown nodded slowly. If the situation was really unavoidable, in order to save his and Wu Xingsi's lives, it would not be a big deal to hand over the ancestral inheritance of "Tianyi Ruins".

"Let's test it first to see if Wei Tu came alone or asked the Jishan Sect's incarnations to come together. The difference between the two is huge."

"If it's the former, with our strength, we can still fight even if we are injured."

"The Jishan Sect is also being watched covetously by Venerable Tong and Old Monster Dingyang. It is impossible for the Jishan Sect to easily send two incarnations to the outside world."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xingsi came up with a specific and feasible strategy.

After hearing this, the middle-aged monk in the golden crown hesitated for a moment, then agreed with the wise man's words.

Then, Wu Xingsi's eyes flashed slightly, and his lips moved slightly as he conveyed a few words to the middle-aged monk in the golden crown. After explaining some details, he waved his sleeves and turned into a stream of light. He flew out of the cave under the deserted island and came to the shore, confronting Wei Tu and the female monk surnamed Song in the air.

"I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Wei for many years. I never thought that Fellow Daoist Wei would have achieved the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm today."

"Compared to Fellow Daoist Wei, Wu and his foolish incarnations have lived in vain for thousands of years."

Wu Xingsi smiled, bowed to Wei Tu leisurely, and complimented him in a casual tone. It was hard to tell that he had previously discussed with the middle-aged monk with the golden crown how to deal with the threat posed by the arrival of Wei Tu, a powerful incarnation master.

After hearing these compliments, although Wei Tu knew that Wu Xingsi had misjudged his realm, he couldn't say it directly at the moment.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you are joking. I am also lucky to have received the legacy of a senior. That is why I was able to break through in just a few hundred years."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and spoke modestly.

"The legacy of the senior?" Upon hearing this, Wu Xingsi said inwardly, "As expected." He and Old Monster Dingyang had long believed that Wei Tu must have obtained a great opportunity before he achieved the state of god transformation, which is why he was fortunate enough to achieve the state of god transformation and support his Taoist partner in breaking through the state of god transformation.

However, unlike the old monster Dingyang, he chose to make friends with Wei Tu at that time, rather than waiting for an opportunity to do something wrong.

"But unfortunately, people have no intention to harm tigers, but tigers have the intention to hurt people." Wu Xingsi sighed secretly, feeling regretful about making friends with Wei Tu before. If he had known that Wei Tu was such a double-faced villain, he would never make friends with him again.

"I wonder what business fellow Wei has that has brought my disciple to see me this time, what could be the reason?" After the greetings, Wu Xingsi's words suddenly became heavy and he got to the point.

"What are you doing?" Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Wei Tu frowned slightly.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he let it go. After all, if it were him, and a powerful man he was not very familiar with suddenly came to visit him, and he was carrying a treasure like a "child holding gold", he would also be very uneasy.

This is human nature.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wu. I came here only to discuss cooperation, not to threaten you two."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, patted the storage bag on his waist, and released the Golden Shark Ancestor who had been soul-marked by him and had become like a soul servant.

However, after seeing this scene, Wu Xingsi was frightened and retreated hundreds of steps, as if facing a formidable enemy.

In his eyes, Wei Tu's behavior was undoubtedly a naked threat.

——It is not difficult to understand the meaning. If he does not obey, he will suffer the same fate as the Golden Shark Ancestor!

"Master, this Golden Shark Patriarch was captured by Master Wei in order to save his disciple. He did not do it on purpose."

The female cultivator named Song standing nearby noticed that Wu Xingsi was like a frightened bird, so she quickly stepped forward and explained loudly.

"what?"

"You caught him by chance?"

After hearing these words, Wu Xingsi was completely stunned, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face again. (End of this chapter)
