Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"You've joined our alliance, yet you disrespect your elders and their orders. Could it be that you, a junior, intend to betray our Earth Immortal Alliance?"

The old man of the heavenly secrets spoke, his smile vanishing instantly, his voice icy cold.

In an instant, the entire palace was filled with a chilling atmosphere, so intense it was almost overwhelming.

"This disciple dares not!" Luo Yan lowered his head, looking like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

He didn't actually want things to turn out this way; he shouldn't have gone against the other party.

He should play along, go through the motions but not put in the effort, and just dawdle.

But the old man of the Heavenly Secrets didn't give Luo Yan a chance to cheat or shirk his duty, forcing him to accept the task of taking care of the successor of the Heavenly Fortune Star.
Faced with such conditions, Luo Yan was naturally unwilling. At worst, he would simply refuse to listen to the secret to becoming an immortal.

He is still young, and he will have plenty of opportunities in the future to learn the secrets of becoming an immortal.

If the reincarnation of the immortal who taught him is Zhong Ning, as long as he can awaken all his memories, the other party will be willing to tell him some secrets about the path to immortality.

Given such an opportunity, why would he sell his freedom?

"Don't dare? I think you're pretty daring!"

"I have heard that the fundamental method of your sect is the technique of creating an external avatar, which is equivalent to your second life."

"I suppose this body of yours is an incarnation?"

"No wonder they dared to disobey the orders of our Earthly Immortal Alliance!"

The Heavenly Mystery Elder remained cold and imposing. In the instant he became enraged, it was as if a god had appeared, causing the entire palace to tremble and an endless stream of profound energy to emanate from it.

A shimmering, radiant energy rippled outwards, enveloping the seven-tiered pagoda in a powerful aura, brimming with boundless spiritual energy.

It was as if a storm had struck, and everything here was suppressed.

Luo Yan remained silent, enduring the immense spiritual energy surge, and lowered his eyes to avoid looking directly into the eyes of the Heavenly Mystery Elder.

He was determined not to take on this mess.

Want him to be a nanny? No way!

Even if this spiritual body is destroyed, Luo Yan has no fear.

As long as his original body exists, Luo Yan can recover again after fifty years.

He originally intended to feign concern and put on a show, using the opportunity to observe the Three Thousand Minor Realms to broaden his knowledge and experience.

But now that the old man has revealed everything, Luo Yan naturally can't delay any longer.

Peeking into a corner of fate and issuing warnings to the three thousand minor realms—such an arrangement, though busy and arduous, is not unacceptable.

After all, the world is vast and full of life, and the more you see, the more your experience, knowledge, and expertise will grow.

Therefore, Luo Yan was not actually that averse to this condition.

Luo Yan had strong objections to the search for the successor of the Heavenly Fortune Star. He wasn't the Earth Immortal Alliance's caretaker, so why should he do his best for the Heavenly Fortune Star?

There's no such arrangement in the world!
Based on this, Luo Yan simply told the truth. Since he had the protection of the Mirror Ancestor and the Tower Ancestor, why would he be afraid of being plotted against by this so-called powerful person?

fear death?

If he were afraid of death, he wouldn't be a second spirit body!
Sitting to the side, Leng Zijin was also taken aback by the situation between the old man and the young man. How could they have started fighting in the blink of an eye?
There's a sense of impending doom, a feeling of wanting to kill the other party.
At this moment, Leng Zijin's mind was completely cleared of thoughts. Judging from the way the two of them were behaving, they didn't seem to be related at all.

Could it be that he has really misunderstood?
Within the seven-tiered pagoda palace, the light of dawn shimmered, and wisps of the mysterious power of destiny drifted in, transforming into the most dazzling stars, floating down from the boundless void, their unparalleled aura pressing down.

These star patterns, woven from the mysterious power of destiny, continued to condense, grow stronger, and spread their energy, directly enveloping Luo Yan within them.

An immense pressure, comparable to the supreme might of heaven, suddenly struck.

"What do you take my Earthly Immortal Alliance for? A dilapidated realm where you can come and go as you please?"

"I'm giving you one last chance to respond. If you still fail to satisfy me, then you may leave this physical body behind."

The old man's tone remained unchanged, but his killing intent had become much stronger, almost solidified.

The stars of destiny within the palace also released boundless holy light, spreading outwards.

‘Kaka! ’

The stone tables, chairs, and carvings inside the palace were all affected, with stone chips falling off.

This is due to excessive energy fluctuations within the temple, which caused the damage to the structures.

In an instant, dust filled the sky, and the main hall looked like it was about to collapse.

The pressure from the Mahayana realm swept over them like an abyss or a waterfall, making Luo Yan and the other person present feel the fragility of life.

Like a lone boat sailing on a turbulent sea.

It felt as if the ship could capsize and everyone could perish at any moment.

"Senior Tianji, please be merciful. This disciple is innocent. May I take my leave?"

At this moment, Luo Yan's eyes remained defiant, and she did not give an answer. Instead, Leng Zijin, looking dejected, hurriedly spoke up.

At such close range, enduring the oppressive force of a powerful old monster, it is already an extremely rare feat for him to maintain the spiritual light within his body.

He feared that if he continued to endure this, he would also be implicated.

That was that guy's choice, it had nothing to do with me, so why should Leng Zijin suffer along with him?
He was implicated, but he was also the most innocent!

Upon hearing this, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets remained calm and composed, and with a single wave of his hand, he sent Leng Zijin flying out of the main hall.

The oppressive aura within the seven-tiered pagoda palace intensified, and all the stars of destiny solidified, as if real stars were falling.

'Snapped! ''Snapped! ''Snapped! ’

The stone tables, chairs, and cushions inside the palace could not withstand the pressure and suddenly shattered, turning into dust.

Dust filled the sky, and the aura was terrifying, like the supreme spiritual energy of a peerless god, filling every inch of space.

Luo Yan sat cross-legged on the futon, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He felt as if an endless mountain was bearing down on his shoulders and back, with immense force pressing down on him.

This rendered him unable to move, his soul imprisoned, and even his thoughts frozen.

The pressure was so intense it was suffocating, driving him to despair and leaving him with no thought of resistance whatsoever.

Even so, Luo Yan's eyes remained calm, and even though his spine was being pressed down with a 'crackling' sound, almost shattering, his back did not bend.

Tall and straight, like a drawn sword, it stands firm and unyielding.

Even if the pressure from the Mahayana realm is intense and the most intense killing intent is concentrated, so what?

Anyway, Luo Yan is not afraid of death. With his original body still around, he has long since disregarded life and death.

Because he will never die!
At worst, this spiritual body can be destroyed; I can just go back and condense another avatar from my original body. There's no way he'll take on this hot potato, Tianyun Star!

As for the old man Tianji's scheme, with the protection of the Linglong Pagoda and the Jiantian Ancient Mirror, two semi-immortal artifacts, what did Luo Yan have to fear?

If it were a real fight, he didn't think he would lose!

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

The old man's tone was chilling, conveying an air of indifference towards all things.

"I know my strength is too weak and I am not up to the task. Please ask the senior to find someone else."

Under such immense pressure, Luo Yan could feel his body trembling, and even his body, formed from the Five Elements Pearl, showed signs of cracking.

It was clearly on the verge of collapse.

One can imagine just how heavy the murderous intent must have been within the seven-tiered pagoda at this moment.

"So you really aren't afraid of death?"

"Don't you know that if our Earthly Immortal Alliance wants to destroy someone, besides killing them directly, there are at least ten thousand other ways!"

"Would you like to try it on?"

The old man's voice was cold and imposing, carrying a condescending and scrutinizing tone.

At the same time, he was also threatening, trying to force this young man in blue to submit.

"Please forgive me, senior, for my inability to help!" Luo Yan gritted his teeth, still refusing to budge.

The karma of Tianyun Star is too great; how could he dare to accept it?

If it were merely a matter of simulating some crisis scenarios, Luo Yan would still have ways to protect himself.

For example, in front of the astrologer, one could take out a chess piece and subtly hint at whether this small world would face a calamity in the future by crushing a certain number of fragments.
As for how much the other party can ultimately comprehend, or even what they can comprehend, that is none of Luo Yan's concern.

Because those were all insights gained from astrology.

Therefore, as long as Luo Yan wants, he can avoid the shackles of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao's consciousness and be warned of whether there will be a calamity in the future.
There's always a way.

Unfortunately, the old man's request was too much. He even wanted him to help find the successor of the Star Envoy. Although the benefit was the news of becoming an immortal, it was not as easy as he made it sound.
The former, by making a little effort to avoid the backlash from the Heavenly Dao's consciousness, is not a major issue.

The latter requires Luo Yan to stay here until a suitable successor to the Star Compass is found before he can leave.
Think about it, even you, an old monster at the Mahayana realm, have been busy for thousands of years and still haven't found this seedling.

How could Luo Yan, a mere cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm, possibly find him?

Are we just going to waste our lifespan waiting and suffering?

If they can't find it, will Luo Yan continue working or leave this place?
He can't possibly put himself in this mess, can he?
"Young man, you're very good!"

"You're very brave, and you're not afraid of death."

"What if I, Your Excellency, say this is an order?"

When the Heavenly Mystery Elder spoke, Luo Yan was puzzled. He was not even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of a mere order from an elder of the Earthly Immortal Alliance?
This is a huge joke!
Under Luo Yan's casual gaze, the white-haired old man's aura began to change, originally carrying an attitude of indifference towards all things and looking down on all living beings.

Now, however, it has transformed into a state of ethereal mystery, with an aura like clouds, mist, and dust, yet also containing a sinister and menacing glint.

A familiar aura appeared before Luo Yan.

He even rubbed his eyes violently and patted his forehead, mistakenly thinking he had sensed the wrong person.
Because what I was seeing was simply too unbelievable.

This aura actually came from that elder.
As the aura emanating from the Heavenly Mystery Elder continued to change, Luo Yan's eyes went from being indifferent at first to being shocked, and then wide open.

After a long while, Luo Yan finally opened his mouth, his throat dry, and hurriedly bowed, saying:
"This disciple has been impolite. Greetings, Palace Master!"

Gongsun Yan!
The mysterious master of the Heavenly Mystery Hall is actually the ruler of the Heavenly Fortune Star of the Earthly Immortal Alliance!
How ridiculous is this?
The Earth Immortal Alliance and the Five Elements Sect seem to have nothing in common, but who would have thought that the dignified Heavenly Fortune Star Envoy is actually the head of the Heavenly Mystery Hall of the Five Elements Sect?
Upon seeing this scene, Luo Yan instantly understood everything. No wonder the White-Browed Palace Master specifically asked him to attend the Immortal Destiny Conference.

It was clearly a selection process for astrologers, so why did the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets treat such a nobody as him differently and entrust him with such an important task?
It turns out that the mastermind behind all of this was none other than the most mysterious temple master.

Luo Yan's throat was dry, his eyes were bitter, and he felt as if mud had fallen into his crotch.

Now, it will be really difficult for him to slip away and avoid trouble.

After all, in front of the Celestial Elder, he could rely on his spiritual body and act without restraint.

But facing his own palace master, Luo Yan dared not be presumptuous anymore and could only helplessly bow.

Who told this old monster to be their own direct disciple and mentor?
"Oh? Weren't you so full of backbone just now, young man?"

"Why are you backing down now?"

The old man of the heavens smiled slightly, observing the changes in the young man in green before him, while the immense pressure that had been hovering above the palace disappeared.

That sense of gloom vanished without a trace.

Even though Wei Li was gone, Luo Yan felt even more pressure on her.

"This disciple was blind and did not recognize the esteemed Lord of the Palace. I beg the Lord of the Palace to forgive me."

Luo Yan bowed again, his reliance on others vanishing instantly.

His fearlessness of death is conditional on one thing: that his physical body can survive safely.

His true form was far away in the Myriad Stars Sea, countless miles from here, so he naturally had nothing to fear.

But Luo Yan never expected that the second spirit body of that Palace Master Gongsun would actually be lurking here.
He also became the ruler of the Heavenly Fortune Star.
Such a disappearance was a devastating blow, leaving Luo Yan's eyes glazed over and his path shrouded in darkness.

Faced with his own temple master's order, Luo Yan didn't even have the thought of refusing, even if it would bring him immense karma.

If his own lord really wanted to deal with him, he could really lose his life.

Even with the protection of the Mirror Ancestor and the Pagoda Ancestor, the same applies.

It all depends on whether their own lord is willing to pay the price.

After all, the greatest being of the Five Elements Sect is not the Tower Ancestor or the Mirror Ancestor, but the Immortal Spirit of Five Finger Mountain.
"I've heard Junior Brother Bai Mei mention you. He said that you, as a young person, possess a composure beyond your years, and your thinking is extremely quick. You are also adept at avoiding disaster, making you an exceptional talent."

"At first, I didn't care much, because which of my disciples in the Heavenly Mystery Hall wouldn't be able to avoid calamities?"

"But what I never expected was that you wouldn't even touch the immortal inheritance I prepared for you."

"What are you thinking, young man?"

"Is it possible that even the scriptures for attaining immortality and becoming a true immortal can remain unmoved?"

Palace Master Gongsun's eyes were filled with curiosity; this junior disciple's choice was truly beyond his expectations.

During the Immortal Destiny Gathering, countless immortal inheritances approached, and one could easily obtain a true immortal inheritance simply by waving one's hand.
It was a supreme inheritance delivered right to their doorstep, yet they disdained it and discarded it carelessly. (End of Chapter)
