Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 774 Yaoguang: There is no one who doesn’t know him...

Clouds and mists drifted by, and where the sun and moon shone, the fairy palace was gently bathed in light.

The six demon cultivators hid deep in the sea of ​​clouds, and the surrounding world was silent for a moment.

"Not... a human?"

Old Man Xun stared at him, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

The young man surnamed Yan frowned and shook his head: "I don't know why exactly, but I just have this vague feeling."

"The Divine Master is not a member of our alliance, but he has been like a prophet since two or three hundred years ago, establishing the alliance's framework and spreading his magic skills to strengthen our foundation."

"It's as if the God is the natural messenger of the demonic calamity, and every action of his is paving the way for a prosperous era..."

Old Man Xun pondered for a moment, and a surprising guess popped up in his mind: "Could it be that the Godly Lord... is he the incarnation of a true demon?"

The young man surnamed Yan's eyes flashed with passion: "To be honest, I also suspected the same."

Seeing him nod, Old Man Xun immediately became excited. If the God is really the incarnation of the true devil, then his slight sacrifice this time is more than worth it...

"However, if the God is the true incarnation of the devil, why doesn't he actually join the Demonic Heaven Alliance?"

While he was excited, he couldn't help but express his doubts.

The young man surnamed Yan shook his head and said, "How can we know what the God is thinking? I guess he must have his own considerations."

Old Man Xun nodded in agreement, and immediately began to imagine the future.

The sea of ​​clouds was vast, and the two of them said no more...

……

Besides, Chen Mu and his group of five, without the constraints of the demon cultivators, can be said to be making rapid progress.

Within two days, they reached the thirty-fifth level of the Immortal Palace.

"Qiang!"

The clouds and mist were surging, and the brilliant sword light shot straight forward.

But after hearing a loud roar, the golden armor statue, which was comparable to the strength of a fourth-stage late-stage cultivator, began to crack. After a few stumbles, it suddenly collapsed and scattered all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu and his companions' opponents were sent flying backwards and fell heavily on the jade steps.

In an instant, the dazzling golden light dissipated, and the thirty-five palace gates suddenly opened!

"What a trick!"

Several people praised each other at the same time, and then laughed out loud.

Taoist Jiu Mo, who hadn't made a move, said with admiration, "If it weren't for the help of you fellow Taoists, I would never have gotten here..."

Wei Mingde was straightforward. Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Jiumo, you're saying this again. The fact that you could reach the Thirty-third Palace as a casual cultivator already astonishes us."

"And if I could give you the same background as us, maybe right now, I, Wei, would be the one benefiting from you, fellow Daoist!"
Taoist Jiumo laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Just based on what Fellow Daoist Wei said, I will offer you three cups of strong liquor afterwards."

After hearing this, Wei Mingde nodded in satisfaction: "This is what I like."

After saying this, he took the lead and walked through the palace gate. He then released his spiritual sense to explore. After a while, his smile faded. He shook his head and sighed, "There's still no energy from the 'Lotus Pond of Creation'..."

Hearing this, Yaoguang and others couldn't help but calm down and walked into the thirty-fifth palace.

Nearing the top of the sky, there is no need to say much about the grandeur of this palace. It is full of golden splendor, carved railings and jade bricks. The scale of the palace is no less than that of the "Chaohui Palace", and there are several of them within the range of spiritual consciousness.

Li Jianyi said in a clear voice: "Lotus ponds are very rare in the world. Even if they exist here, they will definitely not be discovered at first glance. Let's search carefully. If we really can't find it, then we will go up to the next level, to the thirty-sixth heaven!"

Yaoguang smiled and said, "It's as it should be. Let's do it like last time. Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Wei, you two will go to the southeast. As for the northwest, I, Brother Chen, and Fellow Daoist Jiumo will explore it."

No one objected, and they immediately separated and went to explore.

In fact, to determine whether there is a Fortune Lotus Pond or not, they only need to see whether the first group of people came in. After all, compared to them, those people must have searched more carefully.

If there were a lotus pond with Qi, how could it be as quiet as it is now?

The reason why I searched again is that I actually believe in destiny and fate.

Others can’t find it, what if I can find it?
It is with this kind of thinking that they have these seemingly "wasted time" behaviors...

At the same time, in front of the Thirty-Six Palaces.

Li Chengyue and his group all frowned as they looked at the four golden-armored statues guarding the palace gate.

Someone groaned in frustration.

"With so many of us, how could we not defeat these four dead creatures?"

"dead?"

Liu Bohong said angrily, "Each of these four golden-armored statues possesses the strength comparable to a fourth-order perfected cultivator. Once awakened, they are full of spiritual energy and possess immense experience in combat. Even I am ashamed of myself for not being able to match them."

"If you still regard it as a dead object, then there is no need for us to try any further. Let's stop here!"

Taoist Sun's face froze. He bowed and said hesitantly, "Brother Liu, please don't be angry. I've been held back by this statue for several days and I'm extremely worried. That's why I'm speechless..."

He felt that he was not wrong, but due to Liu Bohong's reputation, he had to be humble.

Li Chengyue, however, was unfazed. He snorted coldly and said, "Instead of wasting time on preaching, Brother Liu should focus more on the next attempt. Every time, your side is the first to lose. How can we expect to win safely?"

During the few days they were blocked outside, they had tried several times, but the results were always worse.

The reason was that Liu Bohong and his team were defeated early, which affected the entire team.

Liu Bohong's face flushed crimson, and he wanted to retort, but given the reality, he could only groan and reply, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. I've already made up my mind, and next time I'll definitely hold out longer than you!"

Li Chengyue smiled coldly: "That's the best."

Everyone was already used to their bickering. They shook their heads and sighed, thinking to themselves, "With fate ahead of us, are we even unable to get through the door?"

If they were eliminated hastily because of this, they would become a laughing stock for the next five hundred years or even a thousand years.

"Prince, what do you think?"

Someone looked at the calm Dragon Son Ao Yun standing aside, with hope in his eyes.

Ao Yun curled his lips unconsciously: "This prince has already taken on one of them alone, what else do you want?"

The man hesitated to speak, and slowly shifted his gaze to the two followers behind him.

Although they are called followers, they actually all have the Nascent Soul cultivation level. It’s just that their attitude is extremely respectful, which makes people overlook their realm.

Seeing him acting like this, how could Ao Yun not see what he was thinking?
"Forget about them. In times of crisis, this prince still hopes that they can protect me. If they are used now, then after the thirty-sixth palace, if we encounter any danger, do you think you will risk your life to protect me?"

The man smiled awkwardly and hurriedly climbed up the pole: "If I really encounter an unspeakable situation, what's the harm in risking my life for the prince?"

Ao Yun naturally didn't believe it. He waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest. He didn't seem to be worried at all about being stopped here.

The man got himself into trouble and had to turn around and leave in disappointment.

"Let this prince be the first to reveal his trump card? How dare you think..."

"Do you think this prince can't see it? You're all hiding deeper and deeper than the other. Isn't it all for the final fight for the Fortune Lotus Pond?"

"I don't believe that if it really comes to the end, you can still endure being trapped here!"

……

Ao Yun pondered inwardly, opening his eyes from time to time to check the expressions and reactions of the others.

Having said that, he was actually very anxious.

He even considered that if the East Sea cultivators could truly endure and be willing to be trapped here, he would also send help from behind and strive to enter the Thirty-Sixth Palace. As he was pondering this, the silver-haired old woman suddenly let out a light exclamation, pausing and attracting everyone's attention.

Liu Bohong's old face was still as gloomy as the dark water, but it softened slightly when he faced her: "Old sister, have you found anything?"

The old woman said in a deep voice, "The Thousand-Eyed Bug has sent a message that there is movement outside."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.

Li Chengyue frowned and asked, "But the demon cultivators are catching up?"

They have not forgotten the demon cultivators. They have been in the Immortal Palace for more than half a month. Logically, the demon cultivators should have caught up with them long ago.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They still think that the dangers in the open are easier to deal with than those in the dark...

But to their surprise, the silver-haired old woman shook her head.

"There are at least five people coming here, and their aura is pure. They are not demonic cultivators."

"Who could that be? How could he have come this far..."

They didn't even know about the "demonic cultivators blocking the door", so they never thought that cultivators from Central Continent would come.

Just as everyone was racking their brains, Liu Bohong's eyes rolled around and he said in surprise, "As long as he's not a demon cultivator, it doesn't matter who he is."

Someone understood what he meant, and their eyes lit up: "If we can attract their help, wouldn't this predicament be solved in an instant?"

In their opinion, those who could come here were not ordinary people. They were just a little short of success. With the help of others, they would be able to break in in one fell swoop!

"I will go and invite you myself!"

The silver-haired old woman nodded and smiled, then turned and flew away.

Li Chengyue and Liu Bohong exchanged a glance, and each sent a fellow disciple to follow...

……

Chen Mu paced in the corridor, silently exploring the surrounding energy.

When walking through a long bamboo forest, he suddenly stopped and looked back as if he had sensed something. He saw a green insect-beast, only an inch long, with a thousand eyeballs on its back, hiding in the dense bamboo leaves, without any aura.

"what?"

He couldn't help but frown and suppressed his spiritual sense again, but the result was nothing, as if the insect beast didn't exist.

"Can it be hidden from divine consciousness?"

He was secretly shocked. If it weren't for his powerful spirit and soul, which allowed him to sense something, the insect beast in front of him would have really avoided him.

"There is a fluctuation of the soul brand..."

Chen Mu took another look at it, flicked his finger and sent out a stream of magic power, about to take it out.

At this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the depths of the Immortal Palace: "Wait a minute, fellow Daoist!"

Chen Mu ignored it and rolled the thousand-eyed insect beast closer.

Then he looked up and saw three beams of light coming from afar and landing not far from him.

"Who are you?"

The silver-haired old woman was somewhat displeased with Chen Mu's indifferent behavior. She wanted to take advantage of her seniority, but she saw that he was so majestic and his aura was so refined and pure that her momentum weakened by a little.

"My Taoist name is Miao Zhen. May I know where your immortal mountain is?"

"So it's Fellow Daoist Miao Zhen." Chen Mu smiled faintly: "I am Chen Mu."

"Chen Mu?"

The old woman frowned at first, then she cried out in surprise, "Are you the leader of the sword fighting in Central Continent?"

At this time, Li Jianyi and others heard the noise and rushed over.

After another round of introductions, the old woman was even more surprised and puzzled. She tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoists from Zhongzhou, how did you get here?"

Wei Mingde was outspoken and immediately told the story of the "demon cultivators blocking the door".

The faces of the three old women gradually darkened, but they did not seem too surprised.

Even before they came in, they had a premonition that something bad would happen to the demon cultivators, but they hadn't expected them to do something like "blocking the door" like this...

"If that's the case, we would like to thank all of you fellow Taoists for coming..."

The old woman raised the corner of her mouth and saluted, then looked at the Thousand-Eyed Bug in Chen Mu's hand and said in a slow tone, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I released this little bug to prevent the demon cultivators. I have no intention of targeting you, so..."

Chen Mu smiled and waved his hand to hand the insect beast over.

He had already investigated clearly and found that this insect beast had little life left and was of no value.

The old woman felt relieved, but then she thought of the demon cultivator she had mentioned: "Fellow Daoists, on your way here, did you see any demon cultivators following us?"

Yaoguang frowned slightly, and after exchanging a glance with Chen Mu and the others, she said, "Except for the encounter in the Thirty-Three Palaces, we haven't run into each other since then."

Hearing this, the old woman shook her head and murmured, "How could it be?"

She didn't think about it for too long. After suppressing her confusion, she told the five people about the dilemma they were currently facing.

"Since you fellow Daoists have arrived, I'm sure you all have some ideas about the Fortune Lotus Pond. How about joining forces with us to first obtain the Thirty-Six Palaces, and then discuss other matters later? Is that okay?"

Wei Mingde didn't rush to answer, but murmured, "It seems that there really is no lotus pond in this Chongxian Palace..."

He sighed secretly, and then asked curiously, "Is it really comparable to a fourth-level perfect golden armor statue?"

The old woman replied, "That's right. Even Longzi could only hold back one of them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been held up for several days."

She looked calm and confident that she could persuade them to work together.

After all, there are four such powerful statues blocking the way, and even Chen Mu and his companions will not be able to pass easily.

"Brother Chen, Fellow Daoist Li...what do you think?"

Fairy Yaoguang pursed her lips and looked at the two of them.

Chen Mu thought about it for a moment and felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, so he nodded.

Li Jianyi was more tactful: "I am confident that I can tie up one of the statues, but winning is not an easy task..."

Yaoguang immediately understood and chuckled with the old woman, saying, "Let's do as you say, fellow Taoist. Please lead the way."

The silver-haired old woman was delighted and immediately smiled and said, "Please!"

The group rose into the sky and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds. Before long, they arrived in front of the thirty-six palace gates.

Liu Bohong and the others noticed something and looked up. Just as they were wondering about their identities, they saw Longzi Ao Yun standing up and asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Chen Mu, why are you here?"

Chen Mu smiled faintly: "Friend Ao, it's been a long time since we last met..."

Everyone was stunned, their eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

The East China Sea cultivators were surprised that Ao Yun knew the visitor, and were also surprised by the name "Chen Mu".

Fairy Yaoguang and the others were much simpler, and they all pondered, "Fellow Daoist Chen...what exactly is his relationship with the Dragon Palace?"

It seems that all the dragon sons and daughters know him...
