I have the best bloodline

"Headmaster!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Five Elements Immortal was completely stunned, his face wide with disbelief, and he uttered a blankly.

Their ability to fight back against the pursuit of the divine beings, true immortals, and mystical immortals, and to gain the upper hand most of the time, was not only due to the Zhou Tian Star Chart, but also to the power of the Taiyi Daoist in deducing heavenly secrets.

They are often able to anticipate opportunities and block or intercept the enemy's retreat routes during battle.

We've been tricked.

Taiyi Daoist looked at the blackened arm, his expression not changing much, but his brows furrowed. He said to the Five Elements Immortals, "Someone has obscured the secrets of heaven and set a trap within them in advance. Once touched, it will trigger a karmic backlash against the body."

"The secrets I deduced earlier might be what that person wanted me to see. We may have been led to a dead end."

The seemingly nonchalant words of the Taoist Master Taiyi caused the Five Elements Immortals' expressions to change repeatedly.

If the enemy truly possesses such abilities, they could use fate and karma to retaliate against Taiyi Daoist. This person would undoubtedly be superior to Taiyi in the art of deduction.

Does this mean that our trip was actually anticipated by the enemy, and that the enemy deliberately lured us here?

Chapter 757 I'll Take You With Me When I Die

Looking at his twisted, blackened, and purplish arm, Master Taiyi's expression turned solemn as he slowly spoke:

"In the name of the Falling Star Sect Master, I hereby order the Five Star Town Chief: from this moment on, you must withdraw directly from the Central Court World at all costs, and you are not allowed to turn back."

The backlash from the Heavenly Dao was exceptionally strong. Deducing the secrets of Heaven was not without its price. However, in the past, the Taiyi Daoist was protected by the Zhou Tian Star Chart and was not tainted by karma.

The enemy they now face possesses the power to bypass the Zhou Tian Xing Tu (a celestial chart) and directly retaliate through the power of cause and effect, causing Taiyi Daoist to bear the immense terror of peeping into the secrets of heaven.

The power of divine punishment has descended. What appears to be merely an injury to Taiyi Daoist's arm actually involves a cultivator's fundamental destiny and fate.

In the Falling Star Dao lineage, fate and fortune need to be considered separately. A cultivator's fate determines everything about them innately, while fortune is a factor that can amplify or weaken one's fate after birth.

Fate is immutable, but only fortune can influence it. Fortune is not constant; it fluctuates with experience.

The backlash from the power of cause and effect has damaged the life force of the Taoist Taiyi.

Once one's destiny is damaged, to put it bluntly, it means that one has been expelled from the celestial realm by the laws of heaven in this lifetime. Even if one does not perish directly, one is merely a survivor.

Knowing he was doomed, the Taoist Taiyi did not hesitate at all and gave orders to the Five Elements Immortals in the most severe and inhuman tone.

"Retreat immediately! The patriarch's remains and the golden scales are still there. Protecting the Falling Star Sect is not a problem!"

"Sect Leader."

Upon hearing this, the five chief disciples paused in their tracks, causing the Five Elements Mutual Generation Formation to falter for a moment. Their faces showed disbelief, as they had never expected their sect leader to issue such an order.

The sect leader wasn't talking about retreating; he was making arrangements for his own departure.

Is the situation really that dire? It's not like we're without a fighting chance. Could it be that the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal in front of us is really so troublesome that even two gatherings of stars couldn't get us back to Kunlun Mountain?

"retreat!"

Among the Five Elements Immortals, the Year Star looked at Taiyi, his face immediately darkening. He pulled the Morning Star beside him and went straight into the torn spatial rift, shouting back:

"Among us fellow disciples, you all know in your hearts why our junior sister became the sect leader. Don't try to act coy and ruin the sect leader's plans. Come with me immediately!"

In Falling Star City, seniority is not a system of promotion. To get a promotion, you must demonstrate the corresponding abilities. Simply relying on seniority is useless in Falling Star City. No matter how senior you are, you are still just an old ghost.

Taiyi made her decision in the name of the sect leader, and the cultivators of Falling Star City must obey her unconditionally.

"Teacher, please take care."

Chang Gengxing glanced back, said nothing more, and led the other two chiefs to chase after Suiyuexing.

Without the support of the Five Elements Mutual Generation Array, the Zhou Tian Star Chart's energy was entirely absorbed by Taiyi Daoist. Even with Taiyi Daoist's composure, his cheeks twitched slightly as he felt the rate at which his immortal spiritual power was draining and the pressure on his body.

"Oh? Finally stopped struggling?"

Under the baptism of the deep blue meteor shower, the Corpse-Dissolving God, whose body was torn to pieces, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "That saves trouble."

Under the oppressive power of the stars, the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal God could only ensure his own immortality and had no power to resist the might of the Celestial Star Chart.

Therefore, he simply stood still and endured the immense power of the stars tearing apart his body and soul, staring intently at Taiyi Daoist and his group, as if afraid they would all run away.

The Zhou Tian Star Chart is a lost treasure of the Xuanpin Sect. If it can be handed over to the leader of the Daosheng family, perhaps I can obtain a place in that void.

"Hey hey hey"

As the immense power exerted by the stars gradually dissipated, the Corpse-Dissolving God let out a series of strange laughs. The shattered corpses gradually transformed into wisps of black and red smoke, which then coalesced back into the unharmed form of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Alliance God.

"Suppress and kill!"

When Taiyi Daoist saw that the Corpse-Dissolving God had recovered, and that the other True Immortals and Mystic Immortals did not approach, he knew what the God in front of him was planning. With an indifferent expression, he raised the pointer in his hand and activated the final Gathering of Stars.

Why bother?

The deep blue starlight flickered again, and the aura around Taiyi Daoist became extremely chaotic. He was even unable to maintain his floating posture in the void and fell to the ground. His white clothes were even stained with dust, and he fell into the five signs of decay of the celestial beings.

The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal gazed at the falling star in the sky, then looked down at the Taiyi Daoist, his face full of pity, and said, "A mere True Immortal is utterly useless to us. We only want what you have. Why risk your life for something that doesn't belong to you?"

"Fellow Daoist, greed will only lead to poverty in the end!" The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal God looked regretful. His body was once again severely injured by the power of the stars, and his body was instantly torn to pieces. The weight of the stars was all applied to the great formation, causing the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal God's broken immortal body to collapse inch by inch.

But this alone cannot kill a god. Without the power derived from the laws of nature, even if the god's soul and body are annihilated countless times, he can still return.

"Oh"

Looking at the pretentious Corpse-Dissolving Immortal, Taiyi Daoist smiled coldly and mocked him, "Useless effort? Not necessarily. At least I feel very comfortable right now. I can see you enduring the pain of physical and mental torment, yet you still stubbornly insist on gritting your teeth and saying that it doesn't hurt."

"After the soul is ignited, you can still stubbornly say a few words that it doesn't hurt, even though you're a dead man."

The Immortal of Corpse Dissection twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, clearly not expecting that Taiyi, who had been silent all along, was actually quite skilled in cursing.

He was indeed trembling with pain. The Zhou Tian Star Chart was a pure physical attack, and all laws seemed so fragile under such great power that they could not withstand it at all.

"You piece of trash who can't even touch me dares to bark and howl in front of me!"

"I'll take you with me when I die." Master Taiyi sneered, abandoning his usual indifferent and cold demeanor as a sect leader, and began to curse without saying another word.

As the Taoist Taiyi spoke, he raised the pointer in his hand and placed it back into the Zhou Tian Star Chart compass. He raised his hand and chanted something. A dark red light emanated from the Zhou Tian Star Chart, and correspondingly, the hundreds of stars in the sky that had been manipulated also emitted an ominous scarlet light at this moment.

"you dare!"

The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal was stunned upon seeing this, then his expression changed drastically as he realized something. He dared not continue with his previous condescending and compassionate demeanor, and begged for mercy:

"If you were to detonate the Zhou Tian Star Chart and unleash the power of hundreds of stars, it would be enough to destroy one-tenth of the land in the Central Court, and even your true spirit would be in danger. I admit that I am a trashy person with a foul mouth. I was greedy, and after I had my fill of greed, I still wanted to be high and mighty."

"Please, it's not worth sacrificing trillions of lives in the Midgard world for trash like me. Their lives are far more precious than that of a foul-mouthed, greedy thief like me."

"I keep my word. If I say I'll take you away, I must take you with me." The Taiyi Daoist was beaming with pleasure as he watched the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal beg for mercy, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

Even after winning, they still have so much nonsense to say, rambling on and on about how they acted, only to drag you down with them when they die.

"Snapped--"

A pale arm slowly pushed aside the star chart floating behind Master Taiyi. A golden incantation spread along the arm, firmly locking the self-destruction of the Zhou Tian star chart. The other arm grasped Master Taiyi's raised hand and said:

"The uses of the Zhou Tian Star Chart are not limited to this." Golden incantations spread across Taiyi Daoist's body, and the woman's face was also reflected in Taiyi Daoist's eyes at this moment.

Taiyi Daoist's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the woman who had silently appeared behind him, wearing a veil and dressed simply: "Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—"

Chapter 758 The Benevolent Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—"

When Taiyi Daoist was ambushed and controlled by a powerful figure, and his self-destruction process of the Zhou Tian Star Chart was forcibly stopped, his expression changed drastically, especially when he saw the attacker who had stopped him.

The ruler of the underworld: the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Although the person in front of them was dressed differently and had a completely different aura, there was no doubt that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in front of them was exactly the same as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden they had seen at the Ten Thousand Immortals Banquet, and even the aura of Daoist magic emanating from her body was completely consistent.

"Although I also dislike the Corpse-Dissolving Immortals, what he just said is not without reason. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of millions of living beings for just a few Corpse-Dissolving Immortals." After binding Taiyi Daoist and Zhou Tian Xing Tu, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, dressed in a plain white dress, caused all the stars in the sky to gradually return to their original positions.

The ominous, dark red aura gradually dissipated.

"what?"

Taiyi Daoist's expression changed again, as if he couldn't understand the words of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and he revealed a cold smile.

The ruler of the Netherworld, now claims to hate the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal?

What mythology are you spouting here? Are you trying to fool a dead man like me with a mix of coaxing and deception? You've already stolen my most valuable possession, the Zhou Tian Xing Tu (a celestial chart).

But the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's next move completely stunned the Taoist Taiyi.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden raised her hand and pointed, causing golden ripples to spread across the void. Before the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal and several True Immortals and Mystic Immortals could react, they were suspended in the void. As the golden incantation tightened, the greedy members of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal Alliance died from their dismembered bodies.

With another raise of her arm, the aura of divine punishment that had been entangled around the Taoist Taiyi was dispelled by the golden incantations on her body, and the injuries on her life chart were rapidly healed.

In the blink of an eye, Taiyi Daoist, who should have entered the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, completely recovered and regained control of the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

Taiyi Daoist, his face full of vigilance, stepped back and looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in front of him.

"hehe."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned to Taiyi, chuckled, and said, "What? You passed my test and stand before me, yet now you look at me so warily, unwilling to communicate. Have you been suffering in the Central Court World for nothing?"

"It is not wrong for you to be wary when you see my face. After all, I am the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who is in charge of destroying the world in the Netherworld, the mastermind behind the split of the Primordial Immortal Realm, and the earth-shattering villain destined by fate."

“It’s normal for you to feel wary and afraid.” The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden slowly raised her hand, and under Taiyi’s wary and uncertain gaze, she used the Heavenly Transformation and Earthly Illusion to arrive at a misty immortal mountain.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Supreme Daoist took their seats. When they glanced to the side, they could see a colossal and exceptionally prosperous city at the foot of the mountain, with people coming and going on the streets and immortals flashing and moving in the sky.

The two characters "玄牝" (Xuanpin) caught the eye of the Taoist Taiyi.

Taiyi Daoist fell silent, and gradually came to understand something.

During the time when the Heavenly Dao conceals its secrets and seals off all methods of divination in the world, those who wish to deduce the Heavenly Dao must pay the price of their lives and the inability to speak out in order to exchange everything within the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

However, there is one exception: the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who is one of the guardians of the Primordial Chaos. She can use her own strength to deduce the secrets of heaven and obtain exemption from the Heavenly Dao.

There are some things that Master Taiyi himself can vaguely sense, but he cannot be sure of them.

This is why the Taoist Master Taiyi is so determined to investigate the origins of the Luoxing City lineage.

Especially during the last banquet of immortals, when he saw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in person, the Taoist Taiyi secretly revealed some things as a test, but he did not receive a response from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and it could even be said that she ignored him.

Her relaxed mood was immediately lifted by the appearance of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden in plain clothes.

So it turns out that the lineage of the Falling Star Sect really did originate from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. No wonder the Blissful Immortal advised him not to get involved with the Mysterious Female Sect.
