Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 773: A glimpse at the summit

The vast inspiration dispelled all the clouds and mist, and the beautiful sky was as clear as a jade.

Almost at the same time when the young man surnamed Yan took off into the air, the other four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators also shook their bodies, cast spells to force their opponents back, and quickly withdrew to catch up.

Wei Mingde and his men were fighting fiercely, facing rare magic skills one after another. How could they be allowed to retreat safely?
"Thieves, please leave!"

Some roared, some whistled, and Wei Mingde and Li Jianyi chased after them, waving their sleeves.

Seeing this, the four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators became even more silent, determined to escape faster than their companions.

As for sacrificing oneself for justice and staying behind to stop it for one's companions?

The Demonic Heaven Alliance doesn't have this rule for the time being...

Naturally, Chen Mu would not just watch the demon cultivator retreat calmly, but he did not chase after the young man named Yan who performed the secret technique. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the green escape light.

If he saw it correctly, when Old Man Xun came out of the nearby palace, there were more than ten mottled spiritual auras all over his body!
How could such an opportunity be monopolized by the demon cultivator?

I have to divide it into seventy, eighty, ninety or ten ways...

Thinking of this, Chen Mu stretched out his right hand, which was filled with golden light and the sounds of dragons and sparrows. He clenched his hand towards the dark green light from a distance, and saw that Old Man Xun's movements suddenly stopped and his speed dropped sharply.

After seeing his actions, Wei Mingde and Li Jianyi suddenly realized something. After secretly cursing themselves for being stupid, they turned to their common goal.

Looking at the white-robed swordsman slicing through the sky and Wei Mingde rushing towards him like a giant, Old Man Xun's soul was terrified and he shouted loudly, "Come and save me!"

The other four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing these words, they felt as if they had lost their parents and could not help but curse in their hearts.

But Old Man Xun's status was higher than theirs, and he had the key to this plan on him. If they pretended not to hear and turned away, they would have no chance of surviving afterwards.

When they thought of the alliance's unique punishment for Nascent Soul cultivators, they shuddered and could only turn around and grit their teeth to return to rescue them.

However, there are bound to be some time errors in the round trip.

Old Man Xun knew that he couldn't put all his hopes in the hands of others. After all, he was facing the combined forces of Chen Mu and the other two. If he was not careful, he would be destroyed!
His mind raced, he gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to give up his physical body. His Nascent Soul leaped out, and he used a bit of his magic power to string together the storage bag and more than ten opportunities from the Immortal Palace that were filled with spiritual light, and was about to teleport away.

His move was decisive. In almost an instant, he avoided the deadly sword energy and all kinds of powerful forces.

Even Chen Mu's technique of trapping the sky and locking the earth was mostly broken by him, and he was about to regain his freedom.

Chen Mu snorted coldly, and the Dao mark between his Nascent Soul's eyebrows flickered.

The next moment, Old Man Xun felt the void around him suddenly become stagnant and tight, and he felt extremely awkward.

And not only that, invisible knife marks began to approach continuously, slashing at his protective light one after another.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

With a series of loud roars, he was like a small boat swaying in the sea due to the wind and rain. His primordial spirit flickered and his magic power was rapidly consumed.

In just a breath, an invisible knife mark broke through the protective light and slashed heavily on his Nascent Soul.

In an instant, most of his inspiration dissipated, and due to the violent fluctuations, he was no longer able to suppress the opportunities of the Immortal Palace, causing them to break free from their restraints and scatter in long streams of light.

"My destiny!"

Old Man Xun cried out in pain, and from the sound of his voice, it was even more painful than giving up his own body.

At this time, the other four demon cultivators finally arrived, and their faces changed drastically.

Without these opportunities in the Immortal Palace, even if they rescue Old Man Xun, won’t they still be punished by the alliance?

"Hurry up and take action!"

The four of them were quick-eyed and quick-handed. After each of them blocked a ray of spiritual light, they continued to chase after it.

But at this time, Chen Mu and others had already joined forces to kill them. Facing the most outstanding Nascent Soul Taoists in the past hundred years, they were frightened and reluctantly withdrew their outstretched hands. After rolling up the old man Xun who was only in the Nascent Soul stage, they rushed into the sky without saying a word.

"Hahaha……"

Wei Mingde laughed out loud and shouted three times to the sky, feeling so happy.

"Friend Li, you owe me a favor now."

He turned around and smiled, but there was no trace of Li Jianyi behind him.

He finally reacted, looked at the figures flying back and forth, and shouted, "Leave a few for me!"

Not long after, a group of people descended from the clouds and gathered in front of the temple. They all looked happy and were obviously very satisfied with what they had obtained.

Li Jianyi held an ivory round fan and looked at it back and forth until Wei Mingde couldn't help coughing lightly, then he nodded and put it away.

He smiled and bowed, saying, "Thanks to you two for arriving in time. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gained anything, let alone being able to exit safely."

Chen Mu also smiled, he knew it was just a polite remark.

Although there are many demon cultivators, they are still a little short of defeating Li Jianyi and Yaoguang.

The reason why they were able to besiege them was because of their strange and bizarre magical methods.

Once Li Jianyi and the others had adjusted, the situation on the field would have reversed in an instant. Otherwise, those four Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators wouldn't have left in such a hurry at the last moment...

"You're welcome, Brother Li. If Brother Chen and I were trapped, would you just stand by and watch?"

Wei Mingde waved his hand and spoke righteously at first, then changed his tone and laughed, saying, "Of course, if you insist on thanking me, then let's just consider it a personal favor."

After saying this, he winked at Chen Mu and said, "Brother Chen, please don't say anything more. It's not easy to make Xian Jianchi owe you a favor..."

Li Jian shook his head and smiled: "You, you, well, I owe you two a favor today. If I have the chance in the future, I will do my best to repay you."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people burst into laughter. Wei Mingde took a few glances at them before he finally asked, "This fellow Taoist looks unfamiliar. May I know where the immortal mountain is?"

He was dressed in a grey robe, had a tall and thin figure, a magic gourd tied around his waist, and the whole body was filled with the fragrance of wine. His cultivation level was hidden, and he was able to appear in the thirty-third palace. He did not look like an ordinary cultivator at all.

Yaoguang pursed her lips and smiled, introducing Chen Mu and the others, "Speaking of which, this person is also a cultivator from our Central Continent. He has been in seclusion for many years, cultivating arduously. Because the demonic calamity is approaching, he has just come out to prepare..."

"Fellow Daoist Jiumo." Chen Mu suddenly spoke, smiling slightly, "It's been a long time..."

Several people were stunned for a moment. Yaoguang asked with a smile, "Brother Chen actually knows Fellow Daoist Jiumo?"

Chen Mu didn't answer in a hurry, but just looked at the gray-robed figure with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

Taoist Jiumo bowed his head and said in surprise, "I never thought that soon after I came out of seclusion, I would meet the champion of sword fighting."

He smacked his lips and told the story of the demon cultivators besieging the Yuanling Sect...

Yaoguang and the other two suddenly realized and sighed, "You two actually have such a fate..."

"It is because Fellow Daoist Chen has a heart of righteousness and took action to slay the demon that I admire him and came forward to make friends with him."

Taoist Jiumo praised Chen Mu, then picked up the spiritual gourd at his waist, shook it next to his ear, and said with a smile: "I was unable to treat you with spiritual wine at that time, but now that this matter is over, I must not miss it again."

Chen Mu remained calm and responded, "That's easy to discuss." Wei Mingde joined in the fun, saying, "The wine has a light aroma, but a strong spiritual flavor. Fellow Daoist Jiumo, you can't just invite Brother Chen, right?

Taoist Jiumo quickly waved his hand and replied, "Daoyou Wei, you're joking. We'll all go together then!"

"it is good!"

With his intention to make friends, the atmosphere in the venue became joyful.

Chen Mu was still somewhat suspicious of his sudden appearance, so he asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist Jiumo, I suppose you entered the Immortal Palace a few days earlier than us. I wonder if you've seen anyone else?"

"Of course I have seen it, but..."

Taoist Jiumo paused, a bitter taste in his mouth, and sighed, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you all, but I'm a casual cultivator, not from the East China Sea. Those fellow Taoists have no intention of accepting me, so I'm falling further and further behind."

"Right now, I guess those fellow Daoists from the East China Sea are almost at the Thirty-Sixth Floor Immortal Palace."

Wei Mingde frowned, "Still no sign of the Creation Lotus Pond?"

Taoist Jiu Mo shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Although the thirty-six immortal palaces are connected layer by layer, the fluctuations of energy are not the same. It's just..."

"Just what?"

He pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Do you fellow Taoists truly believe that there is a Fortune Lotus Pond here?"

Chen Mu and the other three looked at each other but didn't say anything immediately.

Taoist Jiu Mo continued to ask and answer his own questions: "Even I have a faint suspicion. I think you have also noticed it. It's better not to get your hopes up too much. If possible, it's not impossible to stop here."

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingde's expression softened. "We understand your good intentions, fellow Daoist, but we've come this far, so we must see things through to the end."

Li Jian nodded and said, "That's right. We still have half a month before we can leave, which is enough time for us to reach the summit and search. If there is really no sign of the Fortune Lotus Pond, we can also look for other resources."

"If you want to stop, you can do so. But be careful. There's no guarantee that those evil cultivators won't come back again." Yaoguang reminded kindly.

Taoist Jiumo sighed softly and looked at Chen Mu, the only one who remained silent: "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Mu smiled faintly: "Of course I'll go to the top to have a look."

Hearing this, Taoist Jiumo took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision.

"Since that's the case, I'll shamelessly follow you fellow Taoists. I only hope that the Fortune Lotus Pond really exists. Even if it doesn't, just taking a look at it would be worth the trip!"

……

In the thirty-two palaces, amidst a vast sea of ​​clouds, several beams of light burst out, then stepped on the clouds and landed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is a huge loss. Not only have most of our opportunities been taken away, but even Elder Xun's body has been abandoned."

"It's not our fault. Even Envoy Yan was defeated by that man. How can we compete with him?"

A burly demon cultivator among the four glanced at Elder Xun, snorted, and shouted, "If Envoy Yan hadn't been so focused on escaping, how could Elder Xun have been in such trouble? When we return to the alliance, I will definitely speak up for Elder Xun!"

Old Man Xun's Nascent Soul was floating, and he said nothing when he heard this.

He knew that it was a bit far-fetched to blame the young man surnamed Yan for this matter. After all, Chen Mu clearly wanted to seize the opportunity and fortune. Even if the young man surnamed Yan turned around to save him, he would not be able to change his mind.

However, when he encountered such a disaster, he couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Yan Shang.

If he had not been so arrogant and conceited as to fight Chen Mu with real weapons without authorization, how could he not have the means to support him?

It's a shame that others are so arrogant and conceited, but he has to bear the consequences...

The burly demon cultivator was about to say something more, but was quickly stopped by someone beside him: "Envoy Yan is here."

He couldn't help but tremble, and quickly shut up and looked back.

A young man surnamed Yan came from a distance. When he saw the old man Xun, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Elder Xun? Why are you here..."

Old Man Xun muttered, "Yan Shang's Blood Curse Heart-Devouring Escape Technique is truly becoming more and more powerful..."

The young man surnamed Yan's face darkened as he sensed the resentment in the other person's voice.

His mind raced, and he felt that Elder Xun was an elder in the alliance, and he didn't want to offend him easily, so he explained in a slightly slower tone, "Elder Xun is well aware that my escape technique has serious drawbacks, and once it's used, all five senses are blocked. I really don't know what the situation will be like afterwards..."

Old Man Xun sighed deeply, then said in a deep voice: "Most of the opportunities gained by Zhaohui Palace were taken away by Chen Mu and others."

The young man named Yan's pupils shrank and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But after taking a look at Old Man Xun's miserable state, he spoke again to comfort him, "A small opportunity is nothing to worry about. The most urgent thing is to send you back to the alliance as soon as possible. That way, we can find a good body for you to possess."

Old Man Xun shook his head: "The deadline has not yet arrived, no matter how anxious you are, it's useless..."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Has there been any news from the Divine Master?"

The young man surnamed Yan nodded and smiled, "We are helping the God, and the God will not forget us. He has set up a large formation in the Thirty-Sixth Immortal Palace. Once those people enter, they will be trapped until they leave."

"During this period, we can search for opportunities and good fortunes to our heart's content. As long as we break the restrictions on the palaces in the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth levels of the palace, why should we worry about not being able to report to the alliance?"

Old Man Xun was overjoyed when he heard this. No wonder Envoy Yan didn't react much to the loss of opportunity. It turned out that there was this layer of protection.

His mind raced. He originally thought that since he had lost his physical body on this trip, even if he was reborn by taking over another body later on, his realm would be greatly damaged and his status in the alliance would plummet.

But if everything goes as he wishes and he achieves merit, he might have the opportunity to quickly recover his cultivation...

"However, with so many cultivators in the East China Sea, including Dragon Son Ao Yun, and now a group of Central Continent Daoists... with such a large scale, is the Divine Lord sure he can trap them all?"

He was pleasantly surprised, but also worried.

It's no wonder that he thought so. There were more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, especially those in the middle and late stages. Even the True Lord of Transformation was not sure that all of them could stay, right?

The young man surnamed Yan also had some doubts in his heart, but he still replied, "Elder Xun, don't judge others by your own standards. The power of the Divine Lord is far beyond our imagination. Since you sent the message in this way, you must be confident."

Old Man Xun nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then we'll just wait for a while..."

"That's how it should be."

The young man surnamed Yan smiled slightly, looked at the Nascent Soul body of old man Xun, thought for a moment, and took out a black jade bracelet.

"This item can temporarily delay the dissipation of spiritual power. Elder Xun, please accept it. After this matter is settled, I will personally arrange the matter of possessing the body."

The Nascent Soul is not the Primordial Spirit, and has not yet reached the level of being indestructible.

Old Man Xun's expression relaxed, and after taking the jade bracelet and putting it on, he fell into deep thought.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly asked softly, "Envoy Yan, how many times have you come into contact with the Divine Lord? I wonder what kind of person he is?"

The young man surnamed Yan paused, raised his eyes and looked towards the sea of ​​clouds in the Immortal Palace. He seemed hesitant and uncertain, and replied intermittently: "God, it doesn't seem to be human..."
