I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 766 Taking Control of the Chi River
Cang Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Immortal Lord, you have misunderstood."

"I am not questioning the Immortal Lord, but rather—"

He paused, his expression becoming even more serious.

"If things are as the Immortal Lord said, then the person who made the move is already at the same level as us."

Yu Chao Xianjun nodded slightly.

“The Azure Dragon King is right.”

"But at our level, we don't easily make a move, let alone such a covert assassination."

"and--"

Yu Chao Xianjun's tone was full of meaning.

"This matter is clearly aimed at the Dragon Palace of the Vast Abyss Sea. The Azure Dragon King should have some suspicions about this."

Upon hearing this, Cang Hong's face grew even more gloomy.

To be honest...

"I have no idea who is targeting my Hanyuan Sea Dragon Palace like this."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Yu Chao Xianjun raised his eyebrows slightly, but a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

"If that's the case."

"I'm afraid my Immortal Lord's Mansion will have to temporarily take over the management of this Chi River."

Cang Hong's expression shifted between light and dark.

The Chi River is vast and teeming with countless aquatic creatures. Without a Golden Immortal to oversee it, the Dragon Palace is merely a facade.

At this moment, he truly dared not send any more Golden Immortals to their deaths.

a long time.

Cang Hong ultimately surrendered.

"In that case, I will have to trouble you, Immortal Lord."

"I also request that the Immortal Lord send more people to investigate this matter."

The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light.

In this situation, he had no choice but to withdraw temporarily.

"That's natural," Immortal Lord Yuchao replied calmly.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Cang Hong got up and left.

When he left, Cang Hong's face was gloomy and unpleasant.

This time, not only did they lose their son and two Golden Immortals, but they also lost the territory of Chijiang.

But he had no idea who the enemy was, and had no clue what to do!

Yu Chao Xianjun watched Cang Hong leave, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"The Vast Ocean... is probably going to be in turmoil."

A golden immortal stepped forward and whispered his request:

"Master, who would be the most suitable person to oversee the Chijiang region?"

Immortal Lord Yuchao pondered for a moment.

"Xingyi".

The golden immortal was slightly taken aback.

"she?"

"He has no background in the immortal realm, yet possesses the bloodline of the Sea Dragon King."

Yu Chao Xianjun said calmly, "It is most suitable for her to take charge of Chijiang."
-
White clouds drift lazily above the Chi River.

The river, like a ribbon, meanders from the horizon, vast and majestic.

Xia Daoming and Xingyi, master and apprentice, rode side by side on auspicious clouds. The cloud path ahead gradually split, one leading to Blood Lake Ridge, and the other pointing towards Dragon Abyss City.

"Pity."

Looking down at the surging waters of the Chi River, Xia Daoming said with a hint of regret, "Now is not the time to destroy the Hanyuan Sea Dragon Palace. Otherwise, with your bloodline as the Sea Dragon King, you could have taken control of this mighty Chi River and used its boundless power to cultivate. It wouldn't have been long before you reached the Opening Realm."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xingyi suddenly felt a stirring in her heart.

She quickly apologized to Xia Daoming and took out the True Lord's Official Seal.

As soon as the official seal appeared, a faint celestial light flowed around it, and a phantom image of a decree slowly materialized on it—

The Immortal Lord Yuchao decrees: Xingyi shall temporarily take charge of the Chijiang River.

The master and apprentice were both taken aback.

A moment later, Xia Daoming suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the sea of ​​clouds. "Hahaha... Just what I wished for came true!"

His gaze turned slightly cold, carrying a hint of knowing-it-all composure. "It must be that old thief Cang Hong has sensed the crisis and dares not send any more Golden Immortals to Chijiang. He has no choice but to hand over this territory to the Immortal Lord's Mansion for safekeeping."

"Master's insight is profound!" Xingyi came back to her senses, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"Go."

Xia Daoming flicked his sleeve, his tone relaxed yet resolute, "Go quickly to the Immortal Lord's Mansion to receive your orders. Chijiang is your place of cultivation, and also the foundation of your existence. I will part ways with you here."

Xingyi paused slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Without saying much, she solemnly descended from the clouds, slowly knelt down before Xia Daoming, and kowtowed in farewell.

"Disciple respectfully sees Master off."

Auspicious clouds broke through the sky and disappeared.

Xingyi stood on the cloud for a long time, watching the figure disappear into the horizon.
-
Blood Lake Ridge.

The lake of blood was as smooth as a mirror.

Deep within the lake, the ancient Mirage Dragon Tomb appears like a dream, shrouded in the void, exuding the aura of time and vicissitudes.

Inside the Dragon Tomb Hall.

Xia Daoming sat high in the hall.

Your Highness, Xiao Bei, Cang Ze, Zhu Chixuan, Zhu Qiluo, and Cang Jun, the Dragon Clan Elder who recently attained the Golden Immortal Dao, sat cross-legged in turn.

The sound of the Great Dao echoed in the main hall.

Seven illusory paths appeared and disappeared in the void, intertwining and resonating with the ancient mirage aura within the Dragon Tomb, making the entire hall seem like a temporary Dao domain.

This scene is exactly the same as the main hall of Qianzu Mountain, but with an added touch of ancient mirage mystery.

Seven days later.

The sound of the Dao gradually subsided.

Xia Daoming drifted away.

Before leaving, he bestowed opportunities upon each person according to their foundation, talent, and the path they cultivated.

Among them, the nominal disciple Zhu Chixuan received the greatest reward—

A fire sycamore fruit.

Zhu Qiluo's talent is not as good as her ancestor Zhu Chixuan's, and she has only been at the early stage of the Dao Condensation realm for more than two thousand years. In terms of cultivation foundation, she is far inferior to Zhu Chixuan and is not yet qualified to receive the Fire Phoenix Fruit.

With Zhu Chixuan's current cultivation level and foundation, and having obtained the Fire Phoenix Fruit, he is expected to reach the late stage of the Opening Realm in the near future.

Once they reach the late stage of the Opening Realm, no one in Qionghua Shangjun should be able to rival the Zhu family of Danxia Mountain.

Xiao Bei and Cang Ze, having heard of the Great Dao and received the Primordial Opportunity bestowed by Xia Daoming, should also be able to step into the Opening Realm in the near future.

In this way, they can more quickly and truly inherit the mantle of the ancient mirage, and their strength will increase rapidly.

Even if Xia Daoming is delayed in returning and unable to personally oversee operations, they should still be capable of launching a military campaign to attack the Dragon Palace of the Vast Abyss Sea and reclaim their dominance!
Suiyuan Xianzhou, Minglang County.

Outside Xiaolang Mountain.

The mountain gate was wide open.

More than two thousand years later, Xia Daoming returned to this place.

Xiao Xuan, Lu Ziying, Xiao Liezhao and his family of three, along with Zhong Lishuyun, Luo Mu, Yan Ling and others, came out to greet them.

When Lu Ziying saw that familiar figure, the tall, strong, and fierce woman's eyes involuntarily reddened, and she was speechless for a moment.

Xia Daoming looked at her, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He now has many disciples, but Lu Ziying is not only his chief disciple, but also his earliest, closest, and most trusted person.

Xia Daoming stayed at Xiaolang Mountain for more than ten days.

In the past ten days or so, in addition to opening an altar to teach the two Golden Immortals, Lu Ziying and his wife, and pointing out the direction of the Great Dao of Opening the Realm, he also specifically pointed out the final illusion of the Great Dao of Golden Immortals to Zhongli Shuyun, Luo Mu, Xiao Liezhao, Yan Ling and others.

The group had all reached the Twelfth Stage of True Immortal cultivation, but due to their limited talents and the limited supply of True Yuan Pills left over from back then, they had been unable to attain the Golden Immortal status for a long time. This time, under Xia Daoming's personal guidance, they all had some enlightenment, their auras were subtly loosening, and the path to Golden Immortal was in sight.

After imparting his knowledge and resolving his doubts, Xia Daoming bestowed upon him a primordial opportunity, as well as the Great Dao True Essence Pill obtained from refining pills after killing Cang Xun and the other two a few days ago.

Lu Ziying cultivates the earth element, while Xiao Xuan cultivates the fire element.

The couple each received a Fire Phoenix Fruit.

In addition, Xia Daoming took out a crimson magic seal and solemnly handed it to Lu Ziying.

"This seal can unlock the fragmented world of the primordial world."

"You are my chief disciple, brave and skilled in battle yet cautious and meticulous. This seal shall be yours to wield."

Lu Ziying accepted it with both hands, her expression more solemn than ever before.
