Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 299 The Ninth City of Immortality

In the starry sky, the Heavenly Emperor sits in preparation for his future return.

Li Changsheng was tasked with finding the Five Great Saints, including Yang Wushang, and leading them back.

Although Ao Yu has been found, there is still no news about the Five Great Sages.

Ao Yu had long since forgotten the whereabouts of the Five Great Saints.

As for Yang Wushang, Ao Yu also knew that Yang Wushang had gone to the Immortal Realm.

"Senior Dragon King, are you familiar with the Dao Sea of ​​the Mortal World?"

Lan Xin'er asked, "Father said that the Mortal World Dao Sea is related to the Chaos Emperor Yang Wushang."

"The Mortal World Dao Sea is a power created by Yang Wushang, but it is unclear whether it has changed over the long years."

Ao Yu shook his head and said, "Back then, Yang Wushang, grateful for his master's enlightenment in the mortal world and his ability to embrace the vast mortal realm, created the Mortal World Dao Sea, which he also casually passed on to three immortals."

"I see." Li Changsheng said calmly, "Back then, I placed Yang Wushang in my world to nurture him, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth did not hide it from him."

  

Yang Wushang has been repeating the same actions for many years and has been constantly comprehending the ways of the mortal world, so he should have gained new insights.

The Daoist tradition of the mortal world can be considered Yang Wushang's lineage, and also his lineage.

"Senior, that resurrected Immortal King is currently targeting the Mortal World Dao Sea," Lan Xin'er hurriedly said.

He immediately stepped out of the celestial star realm and opened the spatial passage for his return.

"The way of space is still so convenient."

A hint of nostalgia appeared on Ao Yu's face as she stepped into the spatial passage first.

Back then, they guarded the path to immortality, suppressed the Space Clan, and forced them to participate in the fight.

This spatial passage provided them with great convenience.

Lan Xin'er followed closely behind and entered the spatial passage.

In the blink of an eye, they traversed the endless starry sky and returned to the Lan family.

Inside the celestial palace, Lan Xin'er bowed and said, "Senior, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch my father."

Ao Yu nodded slightly and sat down inside the Immortal Palace.

She felt the vibrant life force within her, as if she had returned to her teenage years, and her feelings were quite complex.

"Master, I thought this was the last time I would see you, but I never expected to be reborn."

Ao Yu murmured, "In this era, Yu'er will transcend to a new realm, to accompany you to the very end!"

Over the long years, she was almost in despair, unable to see any hope.

Back then, I watched Bai Xian'er leave as the Holy Maiden of Heaven returned.

At that time, she also wanted to return, but there were too many evil immortals, so she had to stay and stop them.

There were too many evil immortals, and they had encountered a powerful evil immortal. They had already done their best to send the Little Immortal Realm and Bai Xian'er back.

If it's not returned, it will cost a huge amount of money to send it back next time.

Bai Xian'er was too arrogant back then, thinking she could handle those old guys.

It's not just those old guys, there are also powerful evil immortals.

Later, the Five Great Saints and she were worried that something had happened to Bai Xian'er, so they sent someone back to check on her. The Heavenly Saintess volunteered to go back.

They sent the Heavenly Saintess back as well, but in the end, she also perished in the starry sky, at the hands of her own people!

If it weren't for the lineage of Cangtian, that golden-haired old man alone wouldn't have been able to kill the Holy Maiden of Cangtian!

"A wicked immortal!" Ao Yu's eyes flashed with cold light. If it weren't for the wicked immortal, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to send Xian'er back.

They can take care of all the Celestial Venerables, and those old guys.

Bai Xian'er will not perish, and the Heavenly Saintess will not be harmed.

"Senior, Xin'er is back."

Lan Xin'er's voice rang out.

"Come in," Ao Yu said calmly, concealing his aura.

The father and daughter pushed open the door and entered. The head of the Lan family bowed respectfully and said, "Lan Yushan, the current head of the Lan family of the Space Clan, greets the Dragon King."

"Tell me about the current situation in the Immortal Remnant Land," Ao Yu said calmly.

The Land of Immortal Remnants is where these immortals reside; they are also descendants of the immortals.

Their ancestors were all immortals from the celestial realm. After the great calamity, they gathered some fragments of the celestial realm, rebuilt the world, and multiplied and survived.

They hide in the crevices of the void on the path to immortality, concealed by various grand formations, and their location can change at any time, making them difficult for even evil immortals to find.

The Space Clan plays a significant role in the changing locations of the Immortal Remnant Land.

This is why Lan Yushan wasn't worried about the Lan family's annihilation when the Sword Realm appeared.

Regardless of who is stronger, the Lan family is indispensable to the Immortal Remnant Land.

"In the current Immortal Remnant Land, the strongest are the Mortal World Dao Sea, the Abyss of Destruction, and the Immortal Emperor Dao."

Lan Yushan recounted, "These three places may still harbor Celestial Kings, but no one has ever seen them."

"Recently, the Sword Realm has emerged again, wiping out several families. The previous White-browed Sword Ancestor even touched the Immortal King realm, but perished at the hands of the Resurrected Immortal King."

"But we suspect that a new Immortal King may have been born in the Sword Realm. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the White-browed Sword Ancestor to be so high-profile."

"The Sword Realm?" Ao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Their swordsmanship is indeed quite good."

"Dragon King, you may not know this, but the Sword Realm rebelled back then," Lan Yushan sighed.

"They've rebelled?" Ao Yu frowned. "What happened?"

"After the Dragon King was sealed away, the Sword Realm colluded with the Evil Immortal to try to deal with the Five Great Sages, but was banished into the Sword Realm by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."

Lan Yushan recounted, "The Sword Realm begged for mercy, remaining closed for ten thousand years before daring to open a crack, but even then, they dared not be too high-profile..."

The sword world only truly came alive after the Five Great Saints disappeared.

Now, the sword world has recovered and returned to its peak.

"After ten thousand years of seclusion and cultivation, the Sword Realm may have given birth to an Immortal King. Now, he has made a high-profile comeback, not even giving face to the Mortal World Dao Sea," said Lan Yushan.

"How could the Great Sage Equaling Heaven have left behind the Sword Realm?"

Ao Yu's expression turned slightly cold: "Colluding with a wicked immortal is a capital offense, but Ping Tian's temperament is still too mild."

Lan Yushan lowered his head slightly and said, "Back then, the forces of the Evil Immortals were powerful, while our strength was weak. The Great Sage of Heaven did not want to destroy the Sword Realm, so he left behind some seeds."

"Since you've chosen to act, you shouldn't have shown any mercy!" Ao Yu said coldly, "After all these years, he hasn't inherited a single trace of the Great Emperor's character!"

Lan Yushan remained silent, not daring to comment.

To them, the Five Great Saints were supreme beings.

There are few records about that Heavenly Emperor, and they don't know much about him.

"Does the Mortal World still revere the Chaos Emperor in this day and age?" Ao Yu asked again.

"I don't know."

Lan Yushan shook his head slightly, paused, and said, "I only know that a grand ceremony to worship the Chaos Emperor was held every thousand years in the past, but it has not been held for four thousand years now."

"Perhaps it has been forgotten," Ao Yu said calmly.

It's normal for things to be forgotten over time, especially in this age where immortality is impossible.

Even immortal kings cannot live forever, so how can they guarantee they won't be forgotten?

"Does the Space Clan have any leads regarding the Five Great Saints?" Ao Yu asked.

"Stopped at the Ninth City of Immortality."

Lan Yushan said, "We all want to know the news of the Five Great Saints, but they disappeared too suddenly. There are only legends about the Ninth City. Your disciple also went there and died in the Ninth City."

"disciple?"

Ao Yu frowned slightly: "I have been in seclusion for many years, how could I have a disciple?"

"Three thousand years ago, someone claiming to be your disciple entered the Ninth City of Immortality and died tragically there," Lan Yushan said.

"Impossible. When I was sealed away, I did not leave any inheritance. How could it be my disciple?" Ao Yu frowned.

She simply kept it hidden away, hoping that after many years, Li Changsheng would find her and she could see her master again.

Without leaving behind any teachings, and without the other party being able to learn her methods, how can she be considered her disciple?

"Not your disciple? But it was that disciple who leaked the secrets of your sealed land," Lan Yushan said.

If it weren't for that immortal appearing three thousand years ago, claiming to be a disciple of Ao Yu, and emerging from Ao Yu's sealed land, they would never have known where Ao Yu was.

It was impossible for Li Changsheng to easily find Ao Yu and awaken her from her slumber.

"Go to the Ninth City and you'll know," Ao Yu said thoughtfully.

"Senior, Xin'er is willing to accompany you on a journey to the Ninth City," Lan Xin'er said quickly.

This time, Lan Yushan did not stop him. If even the Dragon King Ao Yu had trouble going to the Ninth City, then who would dare to go?

Moreover, Ao Yu's master is inside his own daughter's body!

Could Ao Yu's master be the Longevity Dao Ancestor of the Five Great Saints?

Lan Yushan dared not ask, fearing he might anger that senior and offend the Dragon King.

Before this Dragon King was sealed away, he was at the Immortal King realm!

"Then come with me to the Ninth City." Ao Yu nodded slightly and looked at Lan Yushan: "The matter of the Mortal World and the Dao Sea will be discussed after I return from the Ninth City."

"Rest assured, Dragon King, the Lan family will keep an eye on the situation in the Mortal World Dao Sea," Lan Yushan said respectfully. "However, since that Immortal King has his eye on us, the Lan family can only keep an eye on what's going on."

Ao Yu flicked his finger, and a golden light entered Lan Yushan's body: "I bestow upon you the Seal of the Ten Thousand Demon King. If you encounter a Celestial King, you may activate this seal to awaken one of my divine souls."

"Thank you, Dragon King." Lan Yushan was overjoyed and quickly bowed in greeting.

Even if Dragon King Ao Yu's divine soul couldn't defeat the Immortal King, it could still protect him for a short while, enough for the Dragon King to return.

Lan Yushan immediately opened a spatial passage, leading directly to the Ninth City.

The Ninth City of Immortality.

The majestic city is as vast as a star.

The patterns of the Five Great Saints are spread throughout the entire city, and each pattern surpasses the realm of Immortal King.

The five great saints of that time were all beings who surpassed the Celestial King!

A spatial rift appeared, and Lan Xin'er and Ao Yu stepped out of it, arriving above the Ninth City.

"Master, this is our strongest line of defense, and the place where we have fought for so many years."

Ao Yu stood in the sky, looking down at the city below. Many places were damaged, and evil immortals passed through the damaged areas.

"Back then, we created the Ninth City to suppress the path to immortality, and no evil immortal could pass through."

Ao Yu sighed, "But now, the Ninth City is damaged, the Five Great Saints are gone, and there is no one left to stop the Evil Immortal."

The evil immortal can pass through here at will, as long as he does not disturb the patterns of the Great Dao.

"You've all worked hard." Li Changsheng sighed softly. "This time, I will accompany you."

"With Master here, Yu'er feels at ease, and so do Junior Brother Qitian and the others." Ao Yu smiled and said, "In the end, I was the first to receive Master. They will definitely envy Yu'er when they find out."

"Sigh." Li Changsheng sighed softly, "Let's find them first."

Ao Yu nodded and led Lan Xin'er into the Ninth City.

The patterns on the path automatically dispersed, making way for a passage.

Inside the Ninth City, countless array patterns were carved on the ground, and on the ground lay corpses, all of which had long since lost their luster.

It has no energy left; a light touch and it turns to ashes.

"These are the people who have entered the Ninth City over the years," Lan Xin'er said in a low voice.

"Many people are eyeing the Five Great Sages," Ao Yu scoffed. "But how could they possibly leave this old man to be devoured by a pack of wolves?"

Lan Xin'er did not deny it, and said frankly, "Yes, everyone is a pack of wolves."

In the land of immortal relics, the wicked immortals all covet the remnants of the five great saints.

If the five great saints are nearing the end of their lives, they will fight desperately to wear them down and seize everything from them.

Ao Yu led Lan Xin'er towards the inner city.

Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, as well as decaying immortal artifacts.

Over time, even celestial artifacts lose their divine charm and become decaying mortal weapons.

Lan Xin'er also saw the land of immortal ruins, some immortals who had long since disappeared, and their immortal artifacts.

They all came to the Ninth City and perished there.

The surrounding killing formations were still in operation. If it weren't for Ao Yu, but Lan Xin'er herself, she probably would have triggered the killing formations as soon as she entered.

Ao Yu walked slowly and looked around carefully: "After I sealed this place away, it has changed a lot. There were no restaurants here before."

Lan Xin'er remained silent.

The Dragon King was sealed away too early; he couldn't hold on until the end.

Ao Yu arrived at the end of the outer city, where there was a gate leading directly to the inner city.

"Back then, there were no gates here. I even reminisced about our master with Qi Tian here." Ao Yu smiled slightly and looked towards the inner city.

Everything inside was hazy and filled with chaotic energy. Even Ao Yu couldn't see what was inside.

The two entered, and in the hazy, chaotic aura, they stepped on skeletons and decaying fragments of immortal artifacts.

"Many have reached the inner city, but none of them have been able to get out," Lan Xin'er whispered.

Ao Yu stopped and looked at Lan Xin'er: "Master, Yu'er can't see ahead."

Buzz

Li Changsheng's aura emanated from Lan Xin'er's body.

The surrounding chaotic energy surged and quickly rushed to both sides, making way for a path.

The warm sunlight dispelled the chaos and illuminated the path ahead.

They then discovered that a sun was hanging high in the sky, emanating an aura of radiance reaching to the heavens.

"Great Sage of the Sun," Ao Yu said, looking up.

"Was this left behind by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?" Lan Xin'er asked, looking up.

She could feel the terrifying power within the sun; if it were activated, she would instantly turn to ashes.

Ao Yu didn't say anything and continued walking along the road.

A chaotic energy shield appeared ahead, containing endless chaotic energy flow.

Before the protective barrier stood a chaotic stone tablet, inscribed with four words: "Land of Origin!"

"The Land of Origin?" Lan Xin'er asked, puzzled. "What origin?"

"Go in. This was created under the guidance of Yang Wushang," Li Changsheng's voice rang out. "He used the method of self-reconstruction to teach the Five Great Sages..."

He realized that this was a place where he himself was repeating himself.

Yang Wuchuan imparted this knowledge to the Five Great Sages, hoping that they too would obtain the Chaos Dao Embryo Physique.

Ao Yu led Lan Xin'er into the air shield, which offered no resistance because of Li Changsheng's presence.
