I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 669 Fragments of the Primordial World
Lady Biwei saw the old demon Gongming pacing back and forth in the hall, but she did not urge him on. She simply drank silently by herself.

The old demon Gongming recalled how, in the past, he could crush any wild beast he encountered in that place as easily as stepping on an ant. He felt a chill run down his spine and was determined never to set foot in that terrifying place again.

But the words "Golden Immortal" kept echoing in his mind.

These two words carried a fatal allure, making them irresistible to him.

Eventually, the deadly temptation overcame the fear in his heart.

The old demon Gongming stamped his foot, turned around abruptly, and his facial muscles contorted, as if a series of ferocious centipedes were crawling around.

"When are you going?"

"My cultivation has reached a bottleneck and I can't make any progress, so I don't want to delay any longer."

"I just entered the Ninth Realm a few years ago, and my cultivation is still progressing slowly. It would be best if it could continue for a few more years."

"Very well, I was trying to break through a bottleneck a while ago, so I secretly performed a blood sacrifice on a creature in Cangrong County using an ancient demonic method. However, I was spotted by the judge of that place, who destroyed my lair. Now I have nowhere to go, so I'll stay at Thousand-Legged Mountain for the time being and wait for you." As she finished speaking, Lady Biwei gave the old demon Gongming a flirtatious wink.

"No wonder you suddenly decided to go back to that place. It seems you also want to avenge the annihilation of your clan!" Upon seeing this, the old demon Gongming put his arm around Lady Biwei's slender waist.

Lady Biwei nestled into the arms of the old demon Gongming with a mixture of resistance and reluctance.

"However, that place is too dangerous. Should we invite some more people to join us?" the old demon asked as he gestured to Lady Biwei, revisiting the familiar place.

"No!" Upon hearing this, Lady Biwei shoved Gongming away, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression, "That is a fragment of the primordial world that has not yet been discovered. Once it is leaked, with our current cultivation levels, we will surely be silenced!"

"What you said makes sense; I was short-sighted!" The old demon Gongming immediately realized his mistake.

With that, the old demon Gongming pulled Lady Biwei back into his arms.

Just as they were preparing to revisit the place, a sound transmission talisman flew in.

The old demon Gongming frowned slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he still looked up at the transmission talisman.

The sound transmission talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, transforming into the sound of the sky splitting open.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the Jade Stream Chief is leading his men to attack my Thousand-Legged Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the old demon Gongming released Lady Biwei.

"How dare a mere local official lead troops to attack Thousand-Legged Mountain?" Lady Biwei sat up straight, tidied her messy hair and clothes, and asked with a look of disdain and doubt.

“A mere local official would not dare to be so presumptuous, but his master is quite capable. However, I am still somewhat surprised that he dared to raise an army to attack my Thousand-Legged Mountain.” The old demon Gongming frowned slightly at first, then seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Lady Biwei, and smiled: “However, he has come at just the right time this time.”

"Tell me about Master Si Tu's background first. I don't want to offend powerful figures for the sake of your Thousand-Foot Mountain!" Lady Biwei knew exactly what the old demon Gongming was thinking, and she glared at him.

“He’s just an immortal who ascended from the lower realm. He has no background. If he did, he wouldn’t be stuck in this remote place in Biyuan County! His abilities aren’t that great either. At most, he can only rival a Nine-Assembly True Immortal,” said the old demon Gongming.

"Really? With such a background and ability, he dares to lead troops to attack Thousand-Legged Mountain?" Lady Biwei questioned. "That's for sure. Before I came out of seclusion, because of a celestial stone mine, he threatened that the people from Thousand-Legged Mountain who seized the Jade Stream Celestial Stone Mine would stay in the mining area to serve, or he would attack Thousand-Legged Mountain. In the end, nothing came of it."

Two years ago, when I emerged from seclusion, Thousand-Foot Mountain was very powerful. I deliberately used their own methods against them and wrote a letter threatening that their disciple, the Minister of Land Administration, would personally come to Thousand-Foot Mountain to apologize, or I would kill him at the Minister of Land Administration's temple. As a result, he swallowed his anger and did not respond.

If he were truly capable, he would have stormed Thousand-Legged Mountain long ago, so why would he have gone back on his word? And why would he have remained silent and humiliated for the past two years? It's just that his sudden re-establishment of an army has confused me." The old demon Gongming shook his head, looking puzzled.

"Now that you mention it, that does seem rather strange," Lady Green Tail said, equally puzzled.

"Who cares what he's up to? He never dreamed I'd have such a powerful ally like you!" said the old demon Gongming.

“I never agreed to help you!” Lady Green Tail said.

"Didn't you want to use an ancient demonic technique to break through your bottleneck? Hehe, this time it was the Si Tu Temple's troops that took the initiative to attack my Thousand-Foot Mountain. It's perfectly justifiable for us to annihilate them. Moreover, Biyuan County is different from Cangrong County. It's not only a lower-level county, but also because of the rebellion six hundred years ago, the City God Pavilion has been weakened for many years and won't get involved in this matter," said the old demon Gongming.

"You mean I can perform a blood sacrifice on this army?" Lady Greentail's eyes gleamed with an eerie green light.

"Why not?"

As he spoke, the old demon Gongming flicked his sleeve, and the doors of the main hall slowly opened.

Upon seeing this, the clan leader and elders, who had been waiting outside the main hall, hurriedly entered the hall to pay their respects.

"Where is the army of the Si Tu Temple now, and how many have arrived?" asked the old demon Gong Ming.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, our scouts report that there are over six hundred people, and they are still half a day's journey from my Thousand-Legged Mountain," Wu Lietian replied respectfully.

"A mere six hundred people dare to attack Thousand-Legged Mountain? Xuan Gu Zi, what do you think Xing Yi's master's intentions are?" The old demon Gong Ming looked at Xuan Gu Zi, who was dressed as a white-robed scholar.

Xuan Gu Zi had the lowest cultivation level among the elders, but he was the most skilled at scheming. It was he who proposed forming an alliance with forces such as the Blood Cloud Sect back then.

“When you, Ancestor, were still in seclusion, even Master Xingyi didn’t dare to lead troops to attack my Thousand-Foot Mountain. Clearly, you didn’t have the strength to break my mountain-protecting formation.”

Now that our ancestor has emerged from seclusion, and Thousand-Legged Mountain is at the height of its power, he has instead raised an army to attack us. I suspect his true intention is not to attack Thousand-Legged Mountain, but merely to use the entrance to Thousand-Legged Mountain as a pretext to demonstrate his strength and prestige.

After all, the ancestor had repeatedly sent people to threaten him, which must have been a great humiliation for him and severely damaged the reputation of the Temple of Earth. That's why he finally came up with this plan to restore its prestige! Xuan Guzi stepped forward and bowed in reply.

"That makes some sense!" The old demon Gongming nodded slightly.

“According to your logic, since that person dared to use this plan to restore his prestige, it seems that he must be confident that he has the fighting strength to match your ancestor, or even slightly superior. Otherwise, why would he dare to deliver himself to your door? Isn’t he afraid of making a fool of himself and walking into a trap?” Lady Biwei’s green eyes darted around.

"Senior's insight is brilliant, but that person could never have predicted that you would also be at Thousand-Foot Mountain! With your help, we can no longer just come and go as we please at the entrance of Thousand-Foot Mountain!" Xuan Gu Zi said with a flattering expression.

　That concludes today's update.
