Fire Monster

Chapter 365: The Immortal World Seeker

Without the noise of Brother Genshan, the days suddenly became quiet and long again.

In fact, Zhao Guanshan sometimes couldn’t help but wonder, he did arrive here one step ahead of Brother Genshan, so he watched a wonderful table-turning drama, but were there other protagonists who arrived one step ahead and also watched his drama?

In addition, can the +17 Ash Shield really deceive all the fallen immortals?
Also, the fallen immortal behind him is the Lihuo Immortal. The Genshan Secret Key in Brother Genshan’s hand, represents the Genshan Immortal. Hasn’t he fallen?

If he jumped out of the Demonic Fire Abyss because of the deal he made with the female fairy in his youth, then at least he had a certain degree of initiative.

Then it is impossible that there is still a young Genshan immortal in Brother Genshan’s heart.

"So this seems to point to a possibility. There is competition among the fallen immortals, as well as life-and-death conflicts and faction conflicts."

"Karma's pursuit is invisible and must rely on other factors. Therefore, the collapse of the Immortal Palace must have two major factions, the ruling party and the opposition party. The collapse of the Immortal Palace and the crisis of karma cannot stop them from letting go of their hatred for each other and fighting each other. That is inevitable."

"If that's the case, Lihuo, Qianjin, Genshan, Qingmu, and Xuanwu are actually the five ruling establishment factions, and the ones opposing them are probably the opposition factions of the opposition party..."

The more Zhao Guanshan thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

Of course, the real situation is definitely not so simple, with a black-and-white confrontation between camps, because the original establishment may also degenerate into the leader of the opposition party, and the original opposition party may become the supporter of the establishment because it maintains a certain degree of clarity.

It is even possible that the two sides will cooperate to a limited extent when the karmic crisis is at its worst.

The situation here is so complicated and treacherous that it cannot be solved by simply turning the table over.

In particular, there is a karmic crisis and a huge karmic debt. If you are not careful, you will be blown to pieces.

"In short, it's right to keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity to act."

Zhao Guanshan once again reaffirmed his determination to lie dormant. He had to review all intelligence and events every once in a while, and then analyze the overall situation. After all, he was also very anxious.

Because the body is the root of everything.

But because of his dormancy, he has not had any systematic and normal practice for fifteen years and eight months.

They are all living off their past achievements.

Although his life fire showed that he still had 782 years to live, this was actually very short. Especially since he now seemed to have left the Lihuo Secret Key, but in fact, he was still supported by the Lihuo Taoist tradition.

Therefore, unless he never practices again in the future, as long as there is any problem with the Lihuo Taoist school in the future, disaster will naturally come.

It is worth mentioning that he is already seventy-five years old this year.

He is no longer the seventeen-year-old boy he once was.

Not being able to practice cultivation is definitely the most torturous and cruel thing for a Qi Refiner.

His body will degenerate and age little by little.

But now he had to choose to do nothing, lying here all day long, unable to move at all, which was actually like torture.

In particular, he had to control himself from having wild thoughts, but he also had to analyze and make judgments rationally and comprehensively, so every time this happened, he had to thank the blue deer again.

In this way, Zhao Guanshan remained dormant for another ten years in agony.

And that guy Genshan was able to stay with him and lie dormant for ten years. He was really awesome.

Then, on this day, Zhao Guanshan felt something in his heart, and without the need for accurate positioning or sensing, he knew that another protagonist had arrived.

And he appeared in a very ostentatious and conspicuous way.

The Qi-refining practitioner of the Qianjin system could fly through the sky with his sword and cover eight thousand miles in one day.

He skipped all steps and used the most direct method, landing directly a hundred miles away from Zhaoguanshan.

Then, Zhao Guanshan fell silent.

Because this was an acquaintance, he had interacted with him in the spiritual world before, they had a good relationship with each other, and they could be said to have a very pleasant conversation with each other, the Qi-refining master Wang Xuan from the Floating Cloud Taoist Palace!
He really hid it too deeply.

However, this could also be a bait.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that the fallen immortals from the Immortal Palace establishment want to speed up.

As soon as Wang Xuan landed, he shouted towards the vast mountains.

"Where is Zhao Chengfeng, the holder of the Lihuo Secret Key? As an old friend, please come out and meet me."

I'm going to fuck you!
How did you know I would be here?
Zhao Guanshan didn't move, he was numb.

But his lack of movement doesn't mean others won't move. In an instant, a stone giant over three hundred feet tall stood up on a mountain five hundred miles away and strode over, laughing as he walked. Who else could it be but Brother Genshan?
"Jiang Yunbai, the holder of the Genshan secret key, is here. Fellow Daoist Wang Xuan, I didn't expect that you, an old man, hid it so well!"

They actually recognized each other, but that seemed normal. With Wang Xuan's social circle, it seemed that there was no one he didn't recognize.

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai, nice to meet you. I didn't expect to see you here."

Wang Xuan bowed, and the sword beams around him were retracted, transforming into a huge sword shield, which was actually made up of a total of eighty-one spiritual weapons. Each spiritual weapon was strengthened by at least +10, which echoed with the Qianjin Sword Body he practiced, and was very powerful.

In addition to this, he had unexpectedly cultivated four more pieces of soul armor at the center of his eyebrows, making a total of five pieces.

This guy’s cultivation speed is too fast. When they parted from the spiritual world forty years ago, he was only an eighth-level Qi Refiner, right?

Anyway, something is not right.

Maybe it was the 'protagonist' quickly created by the immortal in the Floating Cloud Taoist Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Xuan, who is the Zhao Chengfeng you just mentioned? Shouldn't the holder of the Secret Key of Lihuo be Su Changan? I remember that among your Fuyun Dao Palace, the most outstanding one is him."

Jiang Yunbai asked in surprise.

"Su Changan is dead. The final winner of the Lihuo Secret Key is Zhao Chengfeng, but he hasn't shown up yet. He's probably still on the way."

Wang Xuan looked around and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunbai, I suggest that you and I work together to pass the level quickly. We should not wait here. Although this land, and even the entire country, is a false evolution, everyone living in it is a living native of the immortal world. It is not appropriate to kill them, otherwise it will be contaminated with karma." "What did you say? What karma! These are real people!"

Jiang Yunbai was shocked three times in a row. He actually didn't know about karma. However, he didn't seem to be faking it.

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai, the Genshan Immortal left behind the least amount of Taoist traditions. It is normal that you don't know about it. It is precisely because of this that I was ordered to come and guide you!"

"Under orders? What do you mean!"

Jiang Yunbai was stunned and stopped immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai, why are you asking when you already know the answer? It is naturally the order of the Qianjin Immortal of the Floating Cloud Daoist Palace, and more importantly, the command of the Palace Master. You don't think that the five great Daoist sects of Lihuo, Qianjin, Qingmu, Genshan, and Xuanwu came out of thin air without any basis, right? These are actually the five core Daoist sects of the Heavenly Palace of the Immortal Realm."

"Although you don't know, why do you insist on coming here? This is because of the command implied in the Taoist tradition you practice. As the holders of the secret key and the inheritors of the Taoist tradition, we need to kill a fallen immortal each in order to survive the calamity, ascend to the immortal world, and rebuild the immortal palace."

"If we succeed, we will be the Five Emperors of the Celestial Palace one day!"

"If we fail, the five of us will be like five chess pieces crossing the river. Once we leave, there will be no chance of turning back."

"I don't believe it! I don't want to be a chess piece. I jumped out of the Devil's Fire Abyss. I want to survive the catastrophe and ascend to heaven. I don't want to be a chess piece!"

Jiang Yunbai suddenly roared angrily, his emotions seemed a little out of control.

But just when Zhao Guanshan thought he was really going to lose control, he suddenly laughed, pointed at Wang Xuan and yelled, "What a good dog! I almost fell for your trick!"

Wang Xuan sneered, "Believe it or not, you are carrying the destiny and merits left by the previous generation of Genshan Immortals. You have lost a lot by fooling around here, do you know? Do you know who arranged everything here? You are already in a trap, losing your capital every moment, but you don't even know it!"

"Do you really think you are being very stealthy? Do you really think you can cross the sky and the sea with a flawless shield on your back?"

"Little do you know that your every move is watched by the fallen immortal behind the scenes who is in charge of everything, and he is delighted. Believe it or not, there are many eyes watching you right now!"

"As a chess piece, don't think about sneaking around. It's better to fight your way out with your own strength."

Having said this, Wang Xuan suddenly continued shouting around.

"Zhao Chengfeng, get out here! I know you've been here for a long time, get out! Hiding here will not help! I've told you, the flawless shield can't hide anything from the world!"

But the only response Wang Xuan got was the echo of the vast mountains.

"Fuck, this damn coward!"

"What is the Flawless Great Shield?"

Jiang Yunbai suddenly asked.

"It's the Spirit Ash Shield, a unique spiritual weapon made from the spirit ashes of the skeletons of immortals. In your terms, anything with an enhancement of +15 or above is called flawless grade."

Wang Xuan snorted coldly.

"What about enhancements above +20? Is it called the unparalleled level?"

"No, it's called peerless. You have to understand that the skeletons of immortals are the bodies of immortals that they have spent countless years and countless natural treasures to refine. After their death, their bodies turned into ashes. The spiritual weapons strengthened with these ashes have an extremely high starting point. Therefore, it is actually impossible for peerless spiritual weapons to exist."

"What if I want to strengthen to +18, or +19? Will no one, including the fallen immortals, be able to detect me?" Jiang Yunbai seemed to have discovered a blind spot.

"In theory, it is true, but the prerequisite is that you need to pay most of your destiny merits. You must be sure that you are willing to do so. Without destiny merits, you will never, ever be able to transcend the tribulation and ascend."

"Don't you dare talk to me about destiny? You're trying to fool me with this excuse. Destiny is the evil god, the evil god is destiny, and the evil god is the fallen immortal. I've finally figured this out. The facts are there. Why are you still talking to me about destiny? What bullshit!"

Jiang Yunbai sneered.

"You don't have to believe it, but there is a story about a monkey seeking Buddhist scriptures over there. What do you think of it?"

"Does this have anything to do with it?"

"How do you know it's not related? I'm just reminding you, Fellow Daoist Yunbai, that the five of us chess pieces crossing the river are actually the same in essence as the story of the monkey seeking Buddhist scriptures over there."

"You may not acknowledge the existence of destiny, but we five heirs of the Taoist lineage must complete the mission of killing five fallen immortals and then transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven."

"What if I don't cooperate?"

Jiang Yunbai was so angry that he laughed.

"Simple, your four confidantes and everyone in your Taoist palace will die. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that soon, in a few decades, a second holder of the Genshan Secret Key will appear here to replace you. You can always stay here like an old turtle. Zhao Chengfeng, I'm talking about you. You can choose not to pass, but one day, someone with a higher level of authority of the Lihuo Dao Talisman will come here, and you will die in front of him."

"Really, Fellow Daoist Yun Bai, to be honest, you are not even as good as this Fellow Daoist Zhao Chengfeng. The cards you think you hold are ridiculous."

"So, stop making such a fuss and be more careful."

"If you still don't understand that even though the Celestial Palace has collapsed, there are still rules in operation in this world of immortal cultivation, then you are really stupid."

"Among the fallen immortals, there is still a part that maintains a high level of rationality. They are trying to get everything back on track. Although it will cost a lot, they don't care. Really, you think they care, but they really don't care."

Jiang Yunbai was silent. His previous unreasonable behavior was only on the surface. This stone giant was still just one of his smaller counterparts.

But now, he had to believe it.

"So, what you mean is that the five of us are the people who are seeking scriptures from the immortal world, and we are responsible for repairing the disordered Taoism in the immortal world?"

"Correct answer, that's what I mean. The current situation in the world of immortal cultivation, the crisis of karma, is getting worse and worse, but there is no solution from this level. We must rebuild the palace of the immortal world and let the five kinds of power return to their place. This is the only way."

"You, me, Zhao Chengfeng, and the two Taoist friends who have not yet appeared were selected in this way. There may be some twists and turns in the process, but the basic direction remains unchanged."

"If you don't accept this, that's fine. You just want freedom and democracy, right? I'll give you freedom to kill the fallen immortals, and then transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven. Then you will naturally find that the only correct path is to rebuild the immortal palace and sort out your own tradition."

"Could it be possible that you would betray your own lineage?"

"You can distrust all the fallen immortals and distrust me, but can you distrust your own judgment?"
