Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 294 The Nine Cities of Immortality, the Space Clan

"I will keep an eye on Yang Wushang's news," Li Changsheng said thoughtfully. "You should also be careful; darkness and the heavens will not allow the Heavenly Court to be at ease."

They fought back and forth, with the Heavenly Emperor standing nearby.

How could we possibly let the Heavenly Emperor sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits?

They will try every means to drag the Heavenly Emperor into the struggle!

"They will not affect me for the time being. The power of the Heavenly Court poses no threat to them," said Emperor Tianxin.

Li Changsheng nodded: "Be careful, I'm going to the Path to Immortality."

In the current Heavenly Court, only the Heavenly Emperor and he pose a threat to the two major powers.

He rarely appears in public, and the Cangtian lineage is unaware that he is the one who controls the river of time.

Even the Dark Clan didn't know his strength, only that he could kill an Immortal.

But the immortals are not a threat to them.

Li Changsheng bid farewell to the Heavenly Heart Emperor and left the Lesser Immortal Realm alone, embarking on the Path to Immortality.

The battles on the path to immortality are fierce, with celestial beings and wicked immortals constantly falling.

Li Changsheng saw the Immortal Venerable-level Evil Immortal, Li Hao, and the other Five Extreme War Gods, who were fighting against them.

Without disturbing them, they quietly entered the path to immortality.

However, the Dark Holy Realm sensed something.

  

This is right at the doorstep of the Dark Holy Realm. Although those old guys can't come out, they can sense the situation nearby.

The Great Venerable's voice rang out: "An Immortal has entered the path to immortality."

"The lineage of the Azure Heavens?" an aged voice asked.

"The Heavenly Court, the Ancestor of Immortality," the Great Venerable said somberly, "They should be on the Path to Immortality, searching for the Five Great Sages."

"I hope the Five Great Sages have already perished," the aged voice said coldly.

If the Five Great Saints return, the Heavenly Heart Emperor's strength will reach an even higher level.

Upon entering the path to immortality, one is greeted by a dense array of wicked immortals, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The path to immortality, once longed for by immortals and leading directly to the celestial realm, has now been occupied by wicked immortals.

Endless evil immortals, Daoist immortals, immortal venerables, and even a few immortals!

The ancient path to immortality has long been marked by the passage of time.

The sacredness of the past has vanished with time.

The long years have long since extinguished the divine light, leaving only this almost decayed road.

It is as vast as the stars, stretching endlessly without end.

Li Changsheng's figure merged into the void, he concealed his aura, and headed towards the path to immortality.

He transcended space, ignoring those wicked immortals.

He came to find the Five Great Sages, not to kill the Evil Immortal.

The power of the Great Dao was activated, but the aura of the Five Great Sages was not detected.

As Li Changsheng traveled, he simultaneously transformed his own inner strength for cultivation.

As they ventured deeper, the number of evil immortals ahead gradually decreased, becoming sparser.

These evil immortals vary in strength, with the weakest only at the Loose Immortal level and the strongest reaching the Immortal Venerable level.

I don't know how much time has passed, maybe a year, maybe ten.

On his path to immortality, Li Changsheng saw palaces and houses, but they were all uninhabited.

In some of the damaged palaces, some writings still remain on the walls.

Li Changsheng did not recognize these characters and did not know which era's immortal had left these traces.

Perhaps it's from another star, after all, there were still some life-bearing stars during the Star Wars, and some immortals emerged from them.

He continued on his journey, encountering a wicked immortal along the way, and headed towards the exit of the path to immortality.

The evil immortals had already received the news that the path to immortality had been opened, and they also knew that some ancient beings could not descend.

The evil immortal's idea was to seize the starry sky before these ancient beings descended.

They don't want to destroy the starry sky, they just want to possess it!

Li Changsheng continued forward, looking at the dark void on both sides of the path to immortality. There was no trace of life, nor any stars.

After traveling for some time, Li Changsheng finally sensed something.

Ahead lay a ruined city, bathed in celestial light, its surface shrouded in the patterns of the Great Dao.

An endless stream of evil immortals surrounded the city, but did not attack; they merely besieged it.

Immortal City!

Li Changsheng arrived above the city and gazed at the Great Dao runes below.

The Six Paths of the Earthly Sovereign, Five-Colored Divine Light, Sun Sacred Mark...

The patterns of the five great saints converge to form the Great Dao patterns, protecting this city.

Within the city walls, there were only three figures.

Li Changsheng entered the city silently.

Two men and one woman, all quite powerful, at the Dao Immortal realm!

The three were wandering through the city, searching for any ancient traditions or heritage.

Li Changsheng watched them search quietly, awaiting their results.

More than a month later, the three met up in the center of the city.

"Junior Sister Lan, have you found any treasures?" a young man in white robes asked.

The woman in blue shook her head slightly: "No, it's completely empty here, nothing was left."

"This was the first stop for the Five Great Sages. When they left, they took everything with them."

Another young man in blue took out three rotten immortal swords: "All that's left is this scrap metal."

"The Five Great Saints' first line of defense is too ancient," the woman in blue sighed. "We should go to the fifth, or even the sixth, city; there should still be some things left there."

"There's nothing left; it was all looted long ago."

The young man in blue shook his head and said, "Before the Five Great Saints disappeared, they took everything with them. The remaining treasures were also divided up by various forces."

"If only we could find the five great tombs, how wonderful that would be," the woman in blue thought wistfully.

"Don't even think about it. Nobody knows whether the Five Great Sages are dead or not."

The white-robed youth said, "I heard that the Five Great Saints are sealed away. If they are just sealed away, going there will only lead to certain death."

"We are doomed, but if we can find the sealed land of the Five Great Saints, those old guys will do everything they can to wear them down."

The young man in blue sneered, "In their prime, the Five Great Saints were untouchable; in their twilight years, they are treasures."

"Let's forget about the five sacred, sealed lands and leave this place first."

The woman in blue pondered for a moment and said, "There's a group of evil immortals watching this place outside."

"Those evil immortals are foolish. How many years has it been? What could possibly be left here?" the young man in blue said disdainfully.

"They are not fools; they have plenty of immortals who can wait," said the white-robed youth. "They don't know the fate of the Five Great Sages, but they do know that their master is still alive."

"As long as we guard every place related to the Five Great Sages, we will know immediately when the Five Great Sages' master comes looking for us."

"That legendary immortal ancestor? He's probably already passed away. How many years have passed since the Five Great Saints?"

The woman in blue produced a white gemstone and said, "Let's go, let's leave the city first."

Infused with divine power, the white gemstone radiated spatial energy.

The surrounding space fluctuated, forming a huge vortex.

Through the vortex, Li Changsheng sensed a spatial force in a distant place that resonated with the white gemstone.

Spatial passage?

The three entered the vortex. Li Changsheng silently entered the body of the woman in blue and followed her.

Space is changing and compressing; in this instant, it traverses an infinite distance.

Teleportation!

To have comprehended the Dao of Space to this extent, one's strength is absolutely extraordinary.

Even he couldn't do it, crossing such a distance in one go.

The three appeared inside a palace, where there was a huge spatial magic array, with the patterns of the Great Dao of Space drawn on it.

Two Daoist immortals guarded the entrance. Upon seeing the three of them, they respectfully bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss and Gentlemen."

The woman in blue nodded slightly and asked, "Is my father at home?"

"The patriarch has returned from the ancient battlefield," the two Dao Immortals said respectfully.

The woman in blue said, "My two brothers, I'll go back first. We'll explore the five sacred treasures together once we have news."

"Junior sister, let's go back and check the records. We've heard that someone found clues about the Dragon King Ao Yu three thousand years ago," said the white-robed youth.

The three parted ways, and the woman in blue walked out of the temple.

The palace is surrounded by towering pavilions and is filled with celestial energy. The space here is also extremely solid.

Li Changsheng sensed the space; without activating the Great Dao of Space, he would be unable to break through the space here even with all his might.

The woman in blue moved through the palace, and soon a group of maids came and respectfully followed behind her.

These maids are all at the True Immortal Realm!

Upon arriving at a palace, the woman in blue respectfully said, "Xin'er requests an audience with the head of the family."

"Come in."

A strong, resonant voice rang out.

Lan Xin'er entered the palace, with a maid standing guard outside the door.

A middle-aged man, engrossed in a book, asked without looking up, "I heard you went to the City of Immortality? Did you find anything?"

Lan Xin'er said disappointedly, "We didn't get anything, just a few rotten magic swords. It was a wasted trip."

"That was just the first stop for the Five Great Saints. Back when they built that city, the Five Great Saints were only at the Celestial Immortal realm."

The middle-aged man said, "Although the Longevity City was later strengthened, it didn't leave behind many treasures."

"Father, you said that of the Nine Cities of Immortality, three cities—seven, eight, and nine—are off-limits. So, which city might contain treasures?"

Lan Xin'er asked.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The six cities of Changsheng are all empty and have long lost their value."

"What about the remaining three cities?" Lan Xin'er asked.

"Don't even think about the remaining three cities; your father wouldn't dare to set foot there lightly."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"Father, what's inside? Why do you always avoid talking about these three cities?" Lan Xin'er asked. "Could it be that there are clues about the Five Great Sages?"

"A clue?" The middle-aged man's expression was grave. "It's not a clue, but a killing formation. Those three cities are cities of death. Even I, your father, dare not venture deep into them."

"The City of Death?" Lan Xin'er exclaimed in surprise, "Even Father, who has attained immortality, couldn't penetrate it?"

"For the Five Great Sages, immortality means nothing."

A hint of fear appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "Those who have transcended immortality have also wondered if there are clues inside, and even suspected that the Five Great Saints are sealed inside."

Lan Xin'er quickly asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Forget about clues, not a single immortal who went there came out alive!"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Even now, there are still many immortals who want to investigate these three cities and find out why the immortals disappeared back then, but they only investigated on the periphery until three thousand years ago, when the one who claimed to be the successor of the Dragon King Ao Yu appeared."

"The successor of Dragon King Ao Yu?" Lan Xin'er asked upon hearing this. "I was just about to inquire about this immortal."

"No need to investigate anymore, they died in the Ninth City," the middle-aged man said.

"Died in the Ninth City?"

Lan Xin'er was stunned: "Isn't he Ao Yu's successor? Dragon King Ao Yu has an extremely good relationship with the Five Great Sages."

"Because he touched something he shouldn't have."

The middle-aged man sighed, "According to the message left behind by that person before his death, the Ninth City of Longevity has an inner city that contains the remnants of the Five Great Saints and the secrets about the Ancestor of Longevity."

"Only the Five Great Saints and Ao Yu himself can access the inner city. If anyone else goes there, they will only face certain death."

Inside Lan Xin'er's body, Li Changsheng heard these messages: the remnants of the Five Great Saints and the secrets about himself.

If that's the case, I need to go to the Ninth City to check; perhaps there are relevant clues in the inner city.

"So, in other words, if we want to obtain the legacy of the Five Great Saints and learn the secrets of the Ancestor of Immortality, we can only go to the Ninth City?" Lan Xin'er asked.

The middle-aged man glanced at her and said, "Don't even think about it. This isn't a place for you. Although we Space Clan are known for our unparalleled survival skills, we can't just go anywhere."

"I understand, Father. Don't worry, I won't go to my death," Lan Xin'er quickly replied.

"It's good that you understand. Several hundred years ago, the space shook, and a large tomb was taken away from the void, which brought out a fragment of the immortal realm."

The middle-aged man said, "In a few days, the major families will decide to explore the Immortal Realm fragments together. You will go with your father."

"Thank you, Father." Lan Xin'er's face lit up with joy, and she bowed respectfully. "Father, who led that great tomb away from the void? Some of the great tombs in the void are beyond our control."

They are a spatial race, extracting resources from the void and searching for secret realms, making them arguably the best in the immortal realm.

However, some tombs are too powerful and terrifying, with such strong Dao patterns that they are simply beyond their ability to shake.

Moreover, the spatial turbulence near some large tombs is something even the Space Clan cannot guarantee they can pass through smoothly.

"I don't know. That large tomb has completely disappeared and cannot be found."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The one who can lead that great tomb away is not someone our Lan family can afford to offend."

Lan Xin'er nodded and said no more.

"Go and rest. I will have someone notify you when we explore the fragments of the Immortal Realm," the middle-aged man said, waving his hand.

"Yes, Father," Lan Xin'er replied respectfully.

"Oh, right," the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Don't get too close to those two families. Sword Master will be back in a few days."

Lan Xin'er's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Father, Sword Lord is too arrogant, I can't get along with him."

"I know, but Sword Lord has already inherited the sword bone and will open the immortal gate and return to the immortal realm in the future."

The middle-aged man said slowly, "I don't demand anything from you, I just hope you don't provoke him. He's got his eye on those two families."

Lan Xin'er's face darkened: "Just because he's got his eye on something, does that mean we have to give it to him?"

"Alas, the Sword Realm is too powerful. As long as that person is still alive, we cannot afford to provoke them," the middle-aged man said, shaking his head.

"Hmph, the Five Great Saints should have wiped out the Sword Realm back then, instead of leaving them a chance to survive!" Lan Xin'er said coldly.

"This cannot be said outside, although I think so too," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
