Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Rong Residence, inside the rear hall.

The stars and moon shone obliquely, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood, and both fell silent.

Rong Yidao's heart was pounding.

The person in front of him had the exact same face as him! But his eyes were empty and devoid of any emotion.

If he came here seeking revenge and wanted to kill him, why was he just standing there in a daze, unable to even utter a proper sentence? If he didn't come here to kill him, why was he showing up at the gate in the middle of the night? He couldn't possibly be just visiting.

What should I do?

He was a farmer, not good at fighting. Apart from his superhuman physique and the ability to escape by using earth magic, he was nothing. He would definitely not have an advantage in a real fight. Even if the other party was a fool, there was no guarantee that he would not have any deadly moves hidden.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

"Where are the guards?! Where are the guards of the Rong Mansion?!"

He pretended to call out, though he didn't have much hope. But when he actually tried and confirmed that no one responded, he became even more certain of his intention to escape.

Don't stay here for long!

The safest course of action right now is to flee immediately and seek help from the Taoist priests in the city!

No matter who it is, you can't be in the same room with them! That's dangerous!

He sneered, raising his chin, and said, "Hmm... I won't bother with a petty scoundrel like you, but don't let me see you in Yingfeng City again! If I see you once, I won't see you again—!"

boom!

He stomped his foot!

Swish!

A green light appeared, and its body sank down, quickly disappearing into the ground.

The moment the Earth Escape Technique was activated, Rong Yidao breathed a sigh of relief. The Earth Escape Technique of the Farmer's Path is extremely effective at escaping. Even a second-time inner disciple of the Daoist sect would have a hard time catching up with it. As long as he entered the earth, he would be safe!

But he soon realized that once you're buried, you're not far from being buried yourself.

extrusion!

The intense feeling of being squeezed and suffocated sent chills down his spine!

Normally, when he used Earth Escape Technique, the soil layers flowed through him like water, but now they were being squeezed from all sides, tightening more and more like trapping a turtle in a jar! The soil and rocks were frantically squeezing his chest, abdomen, limbs, and face, and his bones were cracking.

I can't breathe!

The entire land is frantically resisting him and ostracizing him!

"What's going on...? What kind of sorcery is this?!"

Rumble-

He desperately tried to activate the Earth-moving Technique to push aside the thick layers of earth on all sides, but he was not very familiar with this technique due to his lack of cultivation. The earth layers on all sides were as solid as steel, and he only moved slightly twice before becoming unmoved.

Tighten! Tighten even more!

They were actually going to seal him alive underground! Was he, a cultivator of the agricultural path, really going to die on the earth?! How the hell was that possible?!

Rong Yidao's pupils shrank drastically; his composure had completely collapsed!

Could this also be... a ground-moving technique?!

But his earth-moving skills were utterly insignificant compared to his opponent's, like showing off one's axe in front of Guan Yu! His opponent was actually using earth-moving techniques ten times more advanced than his to crush him!

His hair stood on end, and he frantically tried to break free using earth magic, but it was too late.

boom!

Suddenly, a white, chubby little foot emerged from the shadows and landed squarely on his face.

The immense force was like a building pressing down on his face, causing his mouth to twist, his eyes to slant, and blood to flow from his seven orifices!

That foot, though not particularly strong, had an absurdly large force, sending him flying on the spot!

boom!

The earth exploded, and rubble flew everywhere.

In the courtyard of the Rong residence, Rong Yidao burst out of the ground, his spine almost dislocated. He coughed up blood halfway through his flight, and fragments of teeth and internal organs were scattered all over the ground. He rolled around more than a dozen times before crashing heavily to the ground, where he collapsed and remained motionless for a long time.

"Heh...heh..."

He lay on the ground, his body aching all over, and struggled to lift his head.

Swish!

A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and Rong Yidao, dressed in black, appeared in front of him without him noticing. The face that was exactly the same as his own looked down at him, his eyes still dull and empty, silent, yet concealing immense pressure.

Blood tears streamed from Rong Yidao's eyes as fear and savagery grew to the extreme, yet he also found it hard to believe.

"You can also perform earth-moving magic...! This isn't a Taoist spell; you're also a cultivator of the agricultural path?!"

"How could there be such a powerful cultivator of the agricultural path in this world?! Could it be that you... you are an unprecedented cultivator of the Third Realm?!"

The Taoist sect's agricultural path has been stuck at the eighth rank for over a decade without ever touching the third realm. They originally thought it was an unattainable realm, but the person before them has clearly surpassed the scope of a mere farmer!

The lack of a way forward was a major reason why he indulged in pleasure and debauchery. He never expected that a living, breathing cultivator of the third realm would appear right in front of him!

In a daze, he even felt a pang of regret. What had he been doing? He had wasted so many years without any ambition, and had actually squandered a golden path!

No, even if there is a Great Dao, so what?

Under the strong oppression of the Taoist sect, they are nothing more than cattle and sheep to be slaughtered!

Even if they grow up, there's no way out! It's better to enjoy the previously coveted bliss of having multiple wives before being harvested...

Snapped!

The snow owl on his shoulder fanned Rong Yidao, who was dressed in black robes, once again.

The man in black robes then remembered something, his lips moved, and he spoke slowly, one word at a time.

"You are not worthy of the title of cultivator of the agricultural path."

"A cultivator of the agricultural path reveres the earth, loves farming, and is diligent and eager to learn, rather than indulging in pleasure, exploiting the people, and being cruel and inhumane."

"Rong Yidao, you deserve to die."

"Do you still remember the people of Yingfeng City who pleaded day and night outside the Rong Mansion with no one to turn to? Do you still remember the innocent people who were forced to relocate because of you? Do you still remember Zhou Ning'e who was verbally harassed by you? Do you still remember the wealthy Zhou who was thrown out of the house by you?"

"They've come to take your life."

He slowly raised his finger and pointed at Rong Yidao, seemingly sentencing him to death—

His speech was completely incoherent, broken and disjointed, like a toddler learning to speak. Coupled with his blank expression, he was utterly harmless, yet strangely absurd and terrifying!

Rong Yidao trembled all over, tears streaming down his face, and forced himself to kneel and kowtow: "Spare me! My lord, spare me! I...I received a sacred decree from the Daoist sect, and I will certainly restrain myself from now on and never indulge in arrogance and pleasure again! My crime does not deserve death!"

The black-robed Rong Yi paused, seemingly genuinely deceived by his appearance.

Snapped!

The snowy owl slapped him again in exasperation. "Silly kid, can you stop being so naive?! You believe everything?"

You might as well believe I am Qin Shi Huang if you think he can change his ways!

Rong Yidao knelt on the ground, his face covered in blood, looking like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy. But his hand was secretly reaching down to his waist, and what he was hiding there was not the root of his troubles... but his last trump card!

"Even if... even if you want to kill me, please let me finish my last words!"

Both Rong Yidao in black robes and Snow Owl tilted their heads to look at him.

Rong Yidao suddenly looked up, his face contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with fury, as if he had gained the will to fight to the death: "You should have cut off my hand first!"

He reached down to his waist, and... he grabbed nothing!

empty.

Where's his trump card?! Where's his prized possession?!

That's it?!

Rong Yidao's ferocious expression froze on his face, and his desperate courage collapsed on the spot, leaving him blank and dazed, a perfect replica of the black-robed Rong Yidao.

Swish!

Just then, a chubby little girl appeared out of nowhere. She was pretty and cute, with two little tufts of hair on her head swinging back and forth. She was sitting with her short legs crossed, holding a brocade pouch and taking things out, throwing them one by one in front of him.

Ding-dong!

A secret sentry of the Taoist sect.

Whoosh!

Several medicine bottles with Taoist symbols on them.

pat.

The three talismans stacked together are the Five Thunder Talisman, the Flying Sword Talisman, and the Void Escape Talisman.

The little girl shook the brocade pouch to make sure it was empty, then covered her mouth and giggled non-stop. She even patted her little bottom and stuck out her tongue, clearly provoking him!

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

Rong Yidao's vision went black: "..."

That was all the possessions he had to save his life! When was it stolen?!

When did this child appear?!

What kind of decent person would go out and kill someone while bringing their child along?! Is this something a human being could do?!

And this child looks so cute, how come he acts like a little devil?!

He mustered his last bit of strength and lunged forward, trying to grab the talisman!

Swish!

A flash of green light, and everything vanished into thin air.

He missed his target and fell flat on his face, his movements momentarily halting.

"Please, I... I know the secrets of Taoism. Everything I am now is because of Taoism, it's all—" He trembled, his voice filled with sobs, utterly pathetic.

This time, no one listened to him.

The clever straw man jumped high, its little feet landing firmly on the back of his head. It bounced around happily for a few moments, then stomped his head into the stone slab.

Click! Click click click!

The stone slab shattered, and stone chips flew everywhere.

Followed by.

Swish!Swish!

Sharp spikes suddenly erupted from the ground, splattering blood as his two hands were severed at the root.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the courtyard in the night sky.

The intelligent straw man squatted beside the severed hand, tilted its head to look at it, and chuckled, its expression clearly saying: Look! I chopped off his hand first!

Following closely behind—

puff!puff!puff!

One after another, earth spikes emerged from the ground, piercing Rong Yidao's entire body, creating glaring, gaping holes of blood.

A refreshing coolness, a feeling of exhilaration.

Fresh blood dripped and splattered along the stone spikes, forming a thick, crimson stain.

Rong Yidao only had time to let out a muffled groan, his eyes wide open, before his soul vanished completely, his body and spirit vanished.

The snowy owl flapped its wings and flew down, sprinkling dark black powder all over him as it raised its wings.

hiss hiss hiss—

Flesh and blood turned to water, bones dissolved, and in just a few breaths, only a pool of dark red blood remained on the ground, seeping into the earth without leaving a trace.

This is corpse-dissolving powder made by Jiang Tu using the only superior poisonous herb found in the underground farmland. It is an essential medicine for killing people.

At this moment, only Rong Yidao remained in the courtyard, and everything returned to silence.

But the moment the blood flowed into the earth, a strange tremor surged up from beneath his feet.

The three straw figures stopped at the same time.

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Rong Yidao's empty, dull eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he clearly gained a bit more vitality.

The snowy owl suddenly flapped its wings excitedly, circled twice in the air, and glimmers of light emanated from its body, with a faint halo appearing at the edges of its feathers.

The intelligent straw man sat cross-legged, its body shimmering with a green aura, and it seemed to have grown a little taller?

The three straw men looked at each other, completely bewildered.

……

……

After a while.

Huai Shu Village, Jiang Residence.

A hundred miles away, Jiang Tu, who was hiding behind the scenes committing murder, suddenly opened his eyes after a moment of delay caused by the passage of time and distance.

A profound and intense feedback of cultivation energy surged from the depths of the earth, penetrating every part of his body! The feeling was more than ten times stronger than the feedback he received in daily life... at least equivalent to two years of diligent cultivation!

"Cultivation Level: Rank 7 - Imperial Herbalist (1184/15000) → (1491/15000)"

Jiang Tu froze, his pupils shrinking!

Killing Rong with a single strike actually yielded such a powerful boost to his cultivation?! And it seems he wasn't the only one who benefited; the three straw dolls involved in the operation also received varying degrees of enhancement. All of this indicates that this was no coincidence!

Rong Yidao was a cultivator of the Agricultural Path! Because his cultivation was immortal, his cultivation did not dissipate after his death but was intercepted by himself, who was also a cultivator of the Agricultural Path!

This seems to be another manifestation of the reverse inheritance method!

After tonight, the old Rong Yidao is dead, and Yingfeng City is reborn...

He came, and the blue sky appeared!
