Chapter 531 The Black Crow Bows Its Head, A Single Word Safeguards the Pass
The five deities successively withdrew from Zhongtian Pass.

But the mountain in everyone's hearts remains.

The Second Master of Sanxian Mountain!

A scroll painting hangs overhead, depicting a golden-red lark hovering with outstretched wings, its overwhelming aura of killing intent staining the clouds crimson.

Just standing there, he exuded an aura of transcendence and power.

Even heaven and earth seemed to be avoiding each other.

Only at this moment did the many Nascent Soul cultivators below Zhongtian Pass realize the truth.

Of the many powerful figures and giants who had just entered the abyss, only a handful emerged.

Those people were obviously all dead.

It goes without saying who killed him!

In addition, there are the avatars of the two Venerable Ones.

Such horrific carnage left everyone deeply disturbed, and they dared not look directly at the figure hovering in the void.

The term "god of slaughter" spontaneously came to mind for everyone.

As the net of incense offerings in the sky began to gather again, the seal on Zhongtian Pass showed no sign of being lifted.

Fear, unease, and a mix of other emotions welled up inside me.

The crowd was like "fish on a chopping board," left only to await the final judgment.

Like everyone else, Xuan Ya's mood also plummeted to rock bottom.

With the four figures gone, Xuan Ya's last hope was dashed.

He was unaware of the communication between the five deities.

But Li Wushou, in front of Wan Shou and Jin Guang Shuang Zun, killed their clones, and in the end, the two didn't even dare to utter a sound before slinking away.

This behavior can only mean one thing: Li Wushou has won.

The Sealed Spirit Path has already become theirs.

Even if all four arrived, they could not change this outcome.

How could he not feel disheartened?

What made him even more desperate was that he once again felt a gaze fixed on him.

After watching the Great Venerable Zhenhai leave, the other party saw through his disguise at a glance and fixed his gaze on him.

Xuan Ya didn't understand why he was being targeted by this second master.

With a wry smile, Xuan Ya removed his disguise, straightened his clothes, and stepped out of the shadows.

Standing still in the void, facing the figure in the sky, he bowed and said:

"Fengling Dao Xuanya greets Second Master!"

Upon hearing these words, the many Nascent Soul cultivators around Xuan Ya were startled and quickly distanced themselves from Xuan Ya.

Even as outsiders, they had heard quite a bit about the calamity associated with the Xuan Ya of the Sealed Spirit Path during this period.

After all, over the years, the only person who has been jointly banned from entering by the three venerables of the two realms is this one.

Xuan Ya was already used to everyone's reactions.

In his early years, having just emerged from chaos and grasped the meaning of calamity, he struggled to control his own power and indeed caused many calamities.

But after so many years of cultivation, he had already mastered his own power.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to being alone and no longer bothers to explain himself to others.

At this moment, I don't care about what these people think.

Quietly bowing, Xuan Ya awaited the Second Master's judgment.

They appeared calm, but in reality, they had no other options.

In mid-air, Li Wushou took another swig of wine.

Within the divine aperture, the invisible golden elixir impatiently detached itself from the corpse of Daoist Longyuan, stripping away his Myriad Beasts Dharma Realm.

It had already burrowed inside, devouring the bloodlines of various strange beasts.

While replenishing the dragon's completeness, it also repaired and stabilized Li Wushou's physical body.

With the help of consuming the essence of ten thousand beasts and Wu Zhuangyuan's wine, the cracks on his body were contained.

Li Wushou composed himself, looked at Xuan Ya with interest, and asked with a light laugh:

"No more hiding?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ya lowered his head even further, his bitter smile deepening. He was not mistaken; this second master was indeed very interested in him.

"Xuanya entered the Sealed Spirit Path without the permission of the Three Immortals Mountain and competed with the Second Master for the Mandate of Heaven. Knowing that his sins were grave, he begs the Second Master to punish him."

Xuan Ya was quite straightforward. Since he couldn't hide or run away, he simply surrendered and bowed his head in defeat.

Little did he know that his words would leave Deng Jiuyou, who was standing to the side feeling uneasy, and the other Nascent Soul cultivators feeling completely awkward.

"Entering the Sealed Spirit Path to contest destiny without the permission of the Three Immortals Mountain?"

Who here hasn't come to challenge fate without permission?
Didn't we say before that "anyone who has achieved success in cultivation can try to enter the Spirit Sealing Realm"?

You're the one who's weak-kneed, and now you've even convicted us?

What left everyone speechless was that this second master of the Three Immortals Mountain clearly had no intention of correcting the situation.

Li Wushou, suspended in mid-air, nodded slightly and spoke directly to Xuan Ya:

“The Three Immortals Mountain is accustomed to governing the world with benevolence and virtue, and I am also unwilling to see bloodshed. Since you have admitted your mistake and come from the Sealing Spirit Path, I wish to reopen the Calamity lineage in the Three Immortals Mountain and have you take charge of it to help the Sealing Spirit Path eliminate disasters and difficulties.”

What do you think? "

As he spoke, Li Wushou flicked his finger.

With a flick of the fingertip, a speck of golden flesh detached from the body.

It landed in front of the black crow, resembling a golden elixir.

A strange fragrance emanated from this golden flesh.

The onlookers couldn't help but swallow hard.

They had a premonition that consuming this flesh and blood would greatly benefit them. Unlike them, the Black Crow naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

The better the flesh and blood, the less reason it should be eaten for nothing.

Having witnessed Li Wushou's methods firsthand, Xuan Ya firmly believed this.

Li Wushou's intention in placing the flesh and blood before him was extremely clear.

Then he entered the Three Immortals Mountain and established the lineage of Calamity.

If he didn't accept, Li Wushou probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the lark above his head would flap its wings and he would be completely obliterated into the world.

After all, even the Venerable One's Yang Spirit could not withstand a single blow from the opponent.

It seems like he has a choice, but in reality, he has no choice at all!
Black Crow felt bitter inside. Without hesitation, he took the flesh and blood and swallowed it.

As expected, once the flesh and blood entered his body, a large number of inscriptions spread out from it, covering his physical body and even his primordial spirit.

The next instant, Xuan Ya's body, which had been eroded by the Daoist aura of calamity, suddenly radiated boundless vitality.

Her slender figure also became a bit more upright.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Xuan Ya felt that his own path of calamity seemed to be more active.

There are actually such benefits?

Worth, so worth it!

When the black crow looked at the figure in the sky again, its senses had been transformed, and it felt a sense of respect and closeness from the bottom of its heart.

So he bowed to Li Wushou again and said:
"Black Crow, the Calamity Master of the Three Immortals Mountain, greets Second Master!"

His voice was firm and earnest, tinged with a sense of relief and pride.

Upon seeing this, Deng Jiuyou's eyes revealed a complex expression.

Now that the other party has entered the Three Immortals Mountain, I probably won't have another chance to cause trouble for this old rival.

So where should I go from here?

The four deities who just left the stage each took with them the Nascent Soul cultivators from their respective territories.

She had been hoping that when the Great Lord Zhenhai left, he would take her with him.

Unexpectedly, the Great Venerable had no such intention at all.

Deng Jiuyou knew that the situation in Fubo Domain was different from the other domains, and the Great Venerable did not directly rule them, but he still felt a sense of loss at that moment.

They also yearn to become a part of Zhenhai.

But the Great Ones had no such idea, and they were helpless.

Seeing the black crow return to the Three Immortals Mountain, Deng Jiuyou's thoughts became complicated.

There are many others at Zhongtianguan who share the same feelings as her.

After this battle, the fate of the Sealed Spirit Path has been decided.

With the protection of a Great Venerable Zhenhai, the presence of a Cloud Sparrow who is suspected to be a Venerable, and the presence of an invincible Nascent Soul Realm Second Master who can slay a Venerable's clone.

It would be difficult for Sanxian Mountain not to rise to fame and become a powerful force in the world.

Moreover, Fenglingdao has swallowed up a large part of the Central Domain.

In the few days since they entered, they have already realized that Fenglingdao is currently in dire need of manpower.

Even if they cannot establish a new lineage like Xuan Ya Dao Ren by joining at this time, their abilities are enough to govern a region.

Thinking this, everyone became excited.

I just don't know what that flesh and blood is.
Despite their careful observation, they couldn't discern the slightest clue.

However, the Black Crow's physical body became much stronger in an instant.

Are there only benefits?

In addition, there are many others who are thinking of leaving Zhongtian Pass and even Fengling Path as soon as possible.

They're used to a carefree life and don't want to gamble.

Li Wushou surveyed the scene, taking in everyone's expressions.

He was still willing to offer a choice in the ritual when facing the Black Crow.

But Li Wushou never intended for these people to choose for themselves.

To this day, the transformation into a deity has long since lost its autonomy to him.

With a thought, the net of incense quietly dissipated.

Sealing off the entire Zhongtian Pass will consume a considerable amount of resources.

Before the person who wanted to leave could even react, a look of joy appeared on their face.

The scroll above Li Wushou's head slowly unfurled, once again enveloping Zhongtian Pass.

A powerful aura descended from the sky, and everyone felt as if the end of the world was approaching, thinking that Li Wushou was about to unleash a massacre.

The Nascent Soul cultivator, who had already intended to surrender, quickly bowed down and begged for mercy, expressing his loyalty.

The group, who had originally planned to leave, turned pale.

They don't want to lose their freedom, but they don't want to lose their lives even more.

He immediately bowed down and begged for mercy.

Li Wushou looked down at Zhongtian Pass and ignored these people.

With a thought, he transmitted his voice to the black crow:
"You will guard Zhongtian Pass for a while. I'm going back to Sanxian Mountain to catch a few rats. When I return, these people will be dealt with by the talisman masters."

As it transmitted the message, the golden lark above its head flapped its wings and quietly flew down.

The moment it landed at Li Wushou's feet, the lark had already become so large that it blotted out the sky.

With a flap of its wings, the phrase echoed between heaven and earth at Zhongtian Pass:
"Anyone who leaves the pass without authorization will be killed!"

The man and the bird then disappeared at Zhongtian Pass.

Looking at the vividly depicted mountains and rivers in the painting, seemingly about to fall at any moment, and the silent black crow in the void, yet surrounded by an aura of calamity, he was struck by the scene.

Zhongtian Pass was as still as a cicada in winter.

A single word can be used to quell a conflict; that's all there is to it!
