Chapter 537 Taking Control of the Spirit Sealing Technique, His Name Spreads Across the Realms

Ten days passed in a flash.

In the empty valley, light and shadow flicker.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators led the way, followed by four or five True Lords who appeared one after another.

The group looked around the valley. A True Lord from the back stepped forward and asked in confusion:
"Following the guidance of the Spirit Sealing Envoy, after crossing the Dragon Gate Valley, this should be the Three Immortal Mountains, so why is it so deserted?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Nascent Soul cultivators shouted:
"Silence! The Three Immortals Mountain is where the Venerable One resides, hidden in the mustard seed void. What's so surprising? I will inform Lords Canglang and Lanyu."

Upon hearing the question, the True Lord bowed and replied:
"Qingbo is right to teach me a lesson!"

After reprimanding Zhenjun, Qingbo exchanged a glance with another Nascent Soul cultivator beside him, and then took out a conch shell from the Dharma Realm.

The sea waves surged within the conch shell, and before they could be stirred, a salty sea breeze swept through the valley.

With a gentle whistle, a deep, resonant sound echoed through the valley.

Ripples appeared in the void, and the sky above slowly opened and closed, from which a tree branch extended.

The branch was milky white, and the moment it stretched out, a halo of light rose from the front of the branch, and the sound of the waves in the conch shell immediately stopped.

A branch fell from the sky, took root in the valley, and in the blink of an eye became a towering tree.

A pair of eyes slowly opened within the tree trunk.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators, led by Qingbo, froze for a moment, feeling as if the void had solidified the instant their eyes were fixed upon them.

If even they were like this, let alone the True Lord who accompanied them.

Just as they were filled with fear and anxiety, a fire phoenix flew out from the void.

First, it bowed to the tree, and then carefully landed on the trunk.

He then turned and shouted at Qingbo and his group:

"Who gave you permission to come here and play your trumpets? Do you even know where you are?"

This fire phoenix's aura wasn't strong; it was merely a top-tier True Monarch. Yet, it acted extremely arrogantly towards Qingbo and his group, frequently scolding them.

Qingbo and the others dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and instead spoke up to explain:

"Reporting to the Divine Bird and Divine Tree, we are cultivators from the southern sea area of ​​the Sealed Spirit Path. We have come to pay our respects to the Lord of the Sealed Spirit Path and the esteemed gentlemen of the Three Immortal Mountains on the orders of Lords Canglang and Lanyu."

"Huh? Canglang and Lanyu, the two lords of the South China Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Feng's arrogance lessened somewhat, and her words revealed a hint of surprise and doubt.

During this period, many top figures came to the Three Immortals Mountain, opened many new branches, and became the masters of one branch.

The Canglang and Lanyu mentioned by this person are among them.

However, it belongs to the White Paper Taoist Temple and is the direct descendant of the three masters, so it is not afraid of these later lineage leaders.

Hearing their words, Fire Phoenix, though no longer condescending, still laughed heartily and replied:

"Greetings to the three masters? The three masters have no time to see you."

Upon hearing this, Qingbo paused, somewhat embarrassed.

The fire phoenix ignored them and turned to bow to the trees, saying:

"Fire Phoenix pays respects to the Lord of the Five Elements, and requests that the Lord of the Five Elements verify the whole story with the Lord of the South Sea."

Having said that, it maintained its bowed posture, showing exceptional respect for the Five Elements Master, who also belonged to the direct lineage of the three masters.

Although the abbot has always disliked the Five Elements Masters, and the two often clash, it can't intervene in their disputes, so it's best to behave itself.

The eyes on the tree trunk quietly closed, then slowly opened again, and whispered:
"Access granted!"

After he finished speaking, his eyes looked away, but the trees shook violently and were uprooted.

The branches wriggled in mid-air, forming a ladder to heaven that stretched into the depths of the void.

The fire phoenix spread its wings in the void, circling above the heavenly ladder, and called out to Qingbo and the others:

"Aren't you going to thank the Lord of the Five Elements?"

Qingbo and the others felt a sense of relief, as if the void around them had become much lighter. They quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Lord of the Five Elements!"

Having said that, Qingbo, being quite adept at social etiquette, bowed to Huofeng in return and thanked her:

"Thank you, Lord Fire Phoenix."

The fire phoenix circled once, without replying, but it also didn't reprimand the group again.

As everyone ascended the heavenly ladder, it immediately contracted and vanished into the void in the blink of an eye. Light and shadow flickered, and the valley fell silent once more.

Sanxian Mountain

After Qingbo and the others entered through the heavenly ladder, the first thing they saw was a sky full of auspicious golden clouds.

A heavy, pure divine aura pressed down upon them.

This drew gasps of amazement from Qingbo and the others.

Fire Phoenix, who was leading the way, sensed the reactions of Qingbo and the others and looked arrogant.

Seemingly because Qingbo had been sensible earlier, he began to explain to the people behind him.

"Ten days ago, the Second Master swept away all the heroes and established the Fengling Path. My master, the abbot of the Baizhi Taoist Temple, was ordered by the Second Master to take over many territories in the former Central Region."

With numerous powerful beings who have attained divinity presiding over the construction of this network of incense offerings, the entire Sealed Spirit Path is illuminated.

"I suspect that with your visit to Sanxian Mountain, the South China Sea will soon be incorporated into the network of religious pilgrimages."

Qingbo and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

The Central Domain is a place where two supreme beings reside. Has the Fengling Dao really taken over such a large territory?

It seems the rumors are true; that second master slaughtered everyone in his domain, and all regions bowed in submission.

Having gained the favor of the Great Venerable Zhenhai, and with the original Venerable behind the Three Immortal Mountains, even the two Venerables of the Central Domain had no choice but to compromise!
Qingbo and the others remained silent, trembling with fear.

During their time in the Sealed Spirit Path, they had seen many shrines on the Three Immortal Mountains. Indeed, as Fire Phoenix had said, shrines on the Three Immortal Mountains were complete even in small towns on the edge of the South China Sea.

They never expected that the gathering of incense offerings from one region would create such a spectacular scene.

Upon closer inspection, a majestic main mountain stood before everyone's eyes.

Above the main mountain, the incense smoke created a phantom divine kingdom, reflecting the entire Fengling Path, embedded in a golden auspicious cloud, and enveloping the entire Sanxian Mountain area.

Amidst the rising incense smoke, Qingbo and the others could vaguely see that the smoke formed a funnel shape, connecting to the summit of the main mountain.

It was as if someone was bathing in incense, devouring the vast power of the incense.

The legendary Second Master of the Three Immortals Mountain, who swept across all directions and was not a Venerable but comparable to one, also seemed to be quite proficient in divine abilities.

The opponent killed a sixth-level celestial being as soon as he appeared.

Could it be?

Seeing this, Qingbo's mind stirred, and he respectfully asked the Fire Phoenix:

"Is the one currently devouring incense offerings the most renowned master in all the regions?"

Upon hearing this, Fire Phoenix laughed heartily and replied:

"Second Master? The Second Master makes a much bigger fuss. This is my abbot."

Upon hearing this, Qingbo was even more shocked. Was he just the abbot of the Baizhi Taoist Temple?

My reverence for the Three Immortal Mountains has grown even stronger.

The Nascent Soul and True Lords who accompanied him were dumbfounded. Among them were some who resented that Lords Canglang and Lanyu had suddenly devoted themselves to the Three Immortal Mountains.

After all, they were living a carefree life in the South China Sea, and suddenly someone was putting pressure on them. Who would be happy about that?

At this moment, having only glimpsed a corner of the Three Immortals Mountain through a small opening, everyone simultaneously began to understand.

With such a sacred mountain as Sanxian Mountain, who would dare not bow down?

Besides, I'm afraid that Lords Canglang and Lanyu were not in control of their own destiny.
After all, that second master was no benevolent person. A dozen days ago, he killed more top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators at Zhongtian Pass than True Monarchs in the South China Sea.

The group stood in the void, looking around.

Surrounding the central main mountain, seven other peaks, each emanating a distinct aura, stand silently.

Qingbo and the others, who had already entered the Nascent Soul stage, naturally knew that it was the aura of the Dao.

Upon closer examination, the two could easily distinguish the two auras of the Water Path.

This aura emanated from Lords Canglang and Lanyu.

At this moment, the two people's auras lingered on a mountain peak on the outskirts of the main mountain.

Inside, there is chaos, yin and yang, calamity, the five elements, the mysterious yellow, and the netherworld that one can feel chilling to the bone with just one glance.

Various Taoist principles are contained within the seven mountains, intertwined beneath the golden auspicious clouds.

Seven mountains, seven veins, and eight top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators?

In addition, there's the abbot of the White Paper Taoist Temple who devours all the incense offerings, and three other masters above him!

I thought the rumors were mostly exaggerated, but seeing it for myself was even more shocking.

While Qingbo and the others were shocked, they also felt a sense of pride!
After all, they are now also members of the Three Immortals Mountain!
Just then, three long rainbows flew out from the foot of the main mountain and headed towards the area where Huo Feng and the others were.

Qingbo and the others' expressions tightened slightly.

Those who came were all at the Nascent Soul stage, far stronger than the two of them.

They initially thought it was their colleagues from the Three Immortal Mountains, but instead, three long rainbows stopped in front of the Fire Phoenix and bowed to it, saying:

“We have paid the ransom and received permission from the abbot to leave. Please open the gate, Fellow Daoist Fire Phoenix.”

His words and expression were sincere, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, Fire Phoenix raised an eyebrow and asked:

"So fast? Someone from your Holy Land has come out again?"

The leader coughed lightly, replying with a hint of reluctance:
"Over the years, I have accumulated some wealth, and I have specially ordered my grand-disciple to send it out of the Holy Domain."

Seeing this, the fire phoenix chuckled, flapped its wings, and said:
"Six World Treasures for three lives, you're not losing out."

Upon hearing this, the old man at the Nascent Soul stage did not refute it; in fact, he nodded in agreement, echoing:

"The Second Master is indeed benevolent and virtuous; we admire him greatly."

"Of course, my second master is the most benevolent, and of course the first and third masters are the same!"

Fire Phoenix laughed and took out a red glass feather from its bosom.

With a slash across the void, a crack appeared in the auspicious clouds.

At the same time, a root broke through the soil and extended into the crevice. The fire phoenix waved its hand:
"Go, leave Fengling Path as soon as possible. If you want to stay, don't forget to abide by the rules of the Three Immortal Mountains. If you offend the Second Master, it won't just be a matter of a few World Treasures!"

The old man, now a Nascent Soul cultivator, nodded in agreement.

"The Three Immortals Mountain became famous after the battle, and its fame spread throughout the regions. Who would dare to offend the Second Master again?"
The Lord of our Sacred Domain has also sent a formal invitation to the gentlemen of the Three Immortal Mountains. If the gentlemen of the Three Immortal Mountains have the time, they are welcome to come to the Sacred Domain for a chat and to discuss plans for the great changes in the world.

Fire Phoenix's smile widened, but she replied directly:
"This matter will be decided by the three gentlemen; you should simply follow the rules."

The old man, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, nodded slightly, then flew out of the Three Immortals Mountain with the two people behind him without looking back.

Qingbo and the others then realized what was happening.

These people must be the Nascent Soul cultivators who were detained at Zhongtian Pass earlier.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Holy Realm can only redeem himself?

Moreover, judging from this person's words, even the Lord of the Holy Domain has heard of the name of the Three Immortal Mountains and wants to befriend them.

Is this the fame of Sanxian Mountain?

It must be said that Lord Canglang and Lord Lanyu are truly visionary!
Bai has really mastered the art of diplomacy!
