Shangyuque

Chapter 313 Three punches brought tears to the eyes of the raging elephant. Fellow Daoist Yuque, stop! I am your master!

As a low-level cultivator, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had little experience.

But if you let the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable sit in the center of the stage, it will be as smooth as coming home. Not only will there be no pressure, but there will also be a strange sense of comfort.

"Fellow Daoist Di Sha, you must have obtained quite a few Pure Water Relics from the Pure Water Secret Realm back then, right?"

At the ascension banquet of the Earthly Fiend True Man, a True Man from the Blazing Sand Dao Court immediately raised a question after learning about the cultivation experience of the Wind Earthly Fiend.

This is the Crimson Sand Realm. It may seem mindless, but the cultivators here prefer quick and easy methods. The living environment is too harsh, and no one can guarantee that they will live to see tomorrow. Their underlying behavioral code is different from that of the rest of the world.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable did not answer, but silently poured wine for Black Hair Grandson, who had also entered the Celestial Realm.

What's the point of rushing? What's so great about rushing?

Prove your innocence?

How can you clearly explain that you didn't do anything?
Shabi explained, but the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable pretended not to hear.

Wearing the "pure water" identity is a goal, but it shouldn't be done blindly.

Moreover, although the Earthly Fiend Commander has unlimited potential, he still has to take a backseat. The Earthly Fiend True Person is different; strength determines everything.

Attaining enlightenment requires more than just cultivating one's spiritual level; one must also find a foothold on a higher and more distant stage and in confrontations to gain a firm foothold.

The setbacks that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has encountered since the beginning of his journey in the Crimson Sand Realm are largely due to the fact that he has no one to rely on, no system to rely on, and even has to secretly guard against the system he nominally belongs to without anyone knowing.

The situation is different now. The seating arrangement for the Earthly Fiend Lord at the Ascension Banquet is significant; to his left is Black-haired Grandson, and to his right is Blood Frost.

The feeling of being involved is just exhilarating.

Seeing Jade Palace Immortal Venerable personally pour wine for him, Black Hair Sun smiled, turned his head, and his gaze met that of the Blazing Sand Daoist True Man who was trying to explore the mystery of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's speed of ascension to the Celestial Realm.

Black-haired Sun's expression was slightly cold as he spoke bluntly.

"No, the Earthly Fiends are just a bit more talented. The Pure Water Secret Realm, as an important treasure of the Blood Bone Dao Court, was originally opened by the three sects at the same time."

If there were any problems with the Earthly Fiends, the Daoists from the Mysterious River and Imo Fortress would have discovered them back then.

Thus, the possible identity of the Earthly Fiend Commander as a pure water being has gained another layer of 'water content'.

Black-haired Sun's explanation was useless; people's hearts cannot be fooled by a few words of explanation.

To others, Feng Di Sha must have obtained something from the secret realm, but none of the three sects that jointly opened the secret realm could find out.

In this way, there could be many possible answers.

One of them would naturally point to 'the wind and earth evil are originally pure water, and calling it 'earth evil' is a clear indication of the cunning and scheming nature of pure water.'

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable did not intend to explain himself as Pure Water, but instead planned to guide the crowd to increasingly speculate that he might be Pure Water.

This strategy, though somewhat roundabout, is both stable and powerful, and yields the best results.

People are always a little blind to their own judgment.

Yes. Just like when Jade Palace Immortal Venerable encountered a series of setbacks, it was not without the reason that he was confident or even arrogant.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's current caution in choosing his identity implies a reflection on his past arrogance in looking down on the cultivators of the Crimson Sand Realm.

"Haha, Senior Brother Sun, the Pure Water Secret Realm isn't some special place."

Entering the realm of celestial beings is never something that can be achieved through a single stroke of luck.

Fellow Daoists present are all outstanding talents from the two Great Dao Courts.

His exceptional talent needs no further explanation.

As for the talents of the Earthly Fiends, they can only be described as average.

The ascension banquet goes like this: you flatter me, and I flatter you.

We're all on the same side, so why all the twists and turns?
At most, the scenery in the Crimson Sand Realm is a bit more explicit, and the female and male cultivators who dance wear even less clothing, that's all.

Those who cultivate to the Celestial Realm in an environment even more cruel than the heavens and earth (for the lower classes) have already endured hardships, so it's not unreasonable for them to enjoy themselves.

At the banquet, Xue Hanshuang turned slightly to the side and whispered to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

“Di Sha, you have now entered the Celestial Realm while fighting on the front lines. I happen to be working here as well, so I can directly arrange for you to join the Dao Court’s ranks.”

That was what he said openly; in reality, the conditions offered by Master Frost were even more tempting.

"You are a True Person of the Water Law. After entering the Daoist Court's hierarchy, you can be considered an elder outside our clan, much more respectable than Black-haired Grandson. You will receive generous offerings, and your daily tasks will be easy."

The method of cultivating water is to rise above others; no further explanation is needed.

Even though Hei Mao Sun became a real person, in Xue Han Shuang's words he was still considered a lowly person, unworthy of being on the real stage.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is different. Back then, Pure Water was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and one more step would have been the Transformation Realm.

If Feng Di Sha truly obtained the Pure Water inheritance, or if it was actually Pure Water who possessed or rebuilt his body, then bringing Feng Di Sha into the Blood Clan might make him the second Dao Ancestor of the Blood Clan in the future!
This shows how cleverly Jade Palace Immortal Venerable arranged his cultivation in the Crimson Sand Realm.

The prodigy Wang Yuque in the vast world proved himself little by little, working himself to the bone to earn the title of prodigy, somewhat like starting his own business, attracting a bunch of investors, and finally successfully going public.

The cultivation of the Earthly Fiend Lord in the Crimson Sand Realm was different. By taking advantage of the trip to the Pure Water Secret Realm and the vague strategy of pretending to be a Pure Water Lord, he helped Jade Palace Immortal Venerable achieve a "backdoor listing" and easily gained great expectations and recognition.

"Master Ye Sheng and Heavenly King of the Cloud Mist Sect have all been kind to the Earthly Fiends, yet I'm still someone who cherishes the past."

Wang Yulou casually delayed Xue Hanshuang's invitation, then suddenly looked up and saw Xue Loulan with her eyes lowered, entering the main hall where the ascension banquet was being held through a side door.

"Well, I happen to be a person who cherishes old friendships. I will repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude. The Cloud Mist Sect has treated me well."

After a moment of surprise, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable continued.

It wasn't that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable noticed anything strange about the male-female version of the Mangxiang; he was simply somewhat moved.

Ten years have passed. Everyone thought the Lord of the Earthly Fiends was dead, but Loulan still harbored the most sincere feelings for him.

Even the icy heart of the Immortal Venerable couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth upon seeing the Blood Loulan.

However, the Immortal Venerable probably didn't expect that Xue Loulan had already overheard his conversation with Xue Hanshuang.

You son of a bitch, you still cling to old feelings? What a pretentious act! You just want to devour the Cloud Mist Sect completely before going after its blood and bones.

Bah, vile!

All we can say is that Mangxiang and Yuque were true master and disciple.

Back then, Mangxiang suppressed Jade Palace Immortal for so long, putting so much pressure on him.

In order to overcome the Mangxiang Mountain, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable endured, grew, researched, and learned, and in the end, he even obtained the true teachings of Mangxiang.

So, they ended up thinking the same thing.
However, for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, taking the path of first consuming the clouds and mist and then the blood and bones is perfectly legitimate.

As for the "Wild Elephant Version of Blood Loulan," it would have to erect a memorial archway of deep affection to inherit the identity and legacy of the Earthly Fiend Commander, and then proceed with its plans gradually.

"I understand, I understand. These things are not urgent. Come, Loulan, sit here."

Xue Hanshuang ignored Yuque Xianzun's excuse and instead called out to Xue Loulan.

As long as Xue Loulan exists, the karmic ties between the Xue clan and the Feng Di Sha will never be severed.

Perhaps, if Feng Di Sha develops within the Cloud Mist Sect first, he can eventually bring the Cloud Mist Sect into the Blood Bone Dao Court and make it a branch within the Dao Court.

In this way, the Blood Clan's control over the Dao Court can be further strengthened.

Everyone is scheming. There is no fundamental difference between the cultivation of the Celestial Realm and the cultivation of the Purple Mansion. The fact that the Crimson Sand Realm likes to fight does not mean that the True People of the Crimson Sand Realm only know how to fight.

Even a wild elephant has its difficulties.

After learning from Xue Hanshuang's telepathic message that Feng Disha had not only returned but had also become a Celestial Realm True Person, Mangxiang considered running away immediately.

Because if they stay and continue to be the Blood Loulan, they will have to face the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Mang Xiang knew his disciple well.

It's impossible to give a simple evaluation; if I had to describe it in general, it would be 'difficult to deal with'.

As a Golden Core cultivator who had infiltrated the Crimson Sand Realm, Mang Xiang had also dispersed most of his cultivation, leaving his own grotto-heaven in the void outside the Crimson Sand Realm.

If Wang Yulou had discovered his identity, wouldn't he have treated the monstrous elephant like a football?

Of course, as a master of the Formless Law, Mang Xiang maintained the strength of the peak Foundation Establishment stage and was confident that he could escape from the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

So, in the end, Mangxiang stayed.

Let Jade Palace Immortal Venerable lead the charge first. Mang Xiang knew that with his unfilial disciple's level, it would take him at least a few decades, or at most a hundred years, to cause a great commotion in the Crimson Sand Realm.

When that time comes, he will kill Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and then inherit everything from Jade Palace Immortal Venerable as his Daoist partner.

In this way, he could ensure that his wicked disciple would no longer threaten him, and he could also smoothly gain a foothold for development in the Crimson Sand Realm.

It must be admitted that the plan of the Immortal Lord Mangxiang seems to have no major problems, and is very efficient and brilliant.

But when the Jade Palace Immortal's gentle gaze fell upon Mang Xiang, Mang Xiang still felt an insurmountable chill in his heart.

The Dao Fruit is wonderful, but is it worth going through all this for the sake of the Dao Fruit?

Between "Originally there was nothing, so where can dust settle?" and "Constantly wipe it clean, lest dust settle," most normal immortals would choose the latter.

It's not that they are too dull to understand cultivation and self, but as beings standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, they deeply understand how important the Bodhi fruit is, and how powerful those who contend for Bodhi are.

Therefore, even a wild elephant will doubt itself again after making some decisions—this is the process of returning to its true self.

When he is convinced that he has reached his true self, he may have already entered into an inevitable failure.

For example, the recent failure of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was because he believed that his 'true self' could control the situation in the Crimson Sand Realm, and then he crashed and burned.

In other words, Mangxiang's self-questioning and constant seeking were not due to his ignorance, but rather because he was sufficiently 'knowledgeable' on the path of pursuing the Dao.

"The Earthly Fiends, you may not know them."

Loulan has been waiting for you all these years, waiting for you to come back.

Ah, what is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?

To have such a Daoist partner is something we all envy immensely.

"Hei Mao Sun said with some emotion."

Actually, what truly moved him was not Xue Loulan's waiting, but the fact that Xue Loulan was actually widowed for the leader of the Earthly Fiends—for the True Men, such a loving woman was extremely rare to encounter.

Because of their powerful cultivation, they attract many female cultivators who can transform into human self-propelled artillery whenever needed.

However, for the Celestial Realm True People who have tasted and seen the world, it is the sincere feelings that Xue Loulan has for the Earthly Fiend Commander that are more enviable.

"Yes, Di Sha, you must cherish Loulan."

Another True Person from the Blood Bone Dao Court chimed in.

Under Xue Hanshuang's thoughtful guidance, Mangxiang sat down somewhat awkwardly next to Feng Disha.

Hearing the others echoing his sentiments at the Ascension Banquet, Mang Xiang felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

It's simply absurd.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Even considering the lifespan of the Great Elephant Immortal Venerable, which spans ten thousand years, the current situation is still quite explosive.

Fortunately, the character of the Earthly Fiend Commander is Xiao Deng, who has just entered the Celestial Realm. Even at his ascension banquet, he remained remarkably low-key.

Therefore, he didn't do anything like immediately dragging Xue Loulan away.

This relieved the pressure on Mangxiang somewhat.

Even though I was mentally prepared, this was still so disgusting, like swallowing three pounds of dog poop. I wanted to postpone it as long as possible.

Don't laugh at Mang Xiang for lacking resolve; it's just that the situation he faced was too difficult to manage—in a sense, his resolve was already quite firm.
-
The Ascension Feast wasn't particularly delicious, and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable wasn't short of food. The main purpose was to get to know the True Immortals from both Dao Courts on the front lines, under the guidance of Xue Hanshuang.

Furthermore, by leveraging the frontline systems of the two major Daoist courts, the legitimacy of the newly promoted Celestial Realm True Person, Earthly Fiend True Person, was acknowledged.

In the Crimson Sand Realm, becoming a True Person doesn't require any permission, but the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable must cultivate within the Dao Court system, so being recognized and acknowledged is still very important.

Otherwise, if someone were to investigate in the future whether the death of Lan Cao was related to the Earthly Fiend Commander, it would be troublesome.

Of course, of course, the Earthly Fiend Commander certainly didn't have the power to kill Lan Cao. Lan Cao's death was definitely caused by Li Qiugan.

However, this world only values ​​strength and not reason. Once legitimacy is established, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they will face a choice with higher costs and lower relative benefits.

That's enough. In a constantly changing world, there's not much certainty.

The mansion of the Earthly Fiend Lord had already been taken away during the ten years he was 'missing', which was understood by people as the time he died in battle.

Therefore, he naturally took Xue Loulan back to Xue Loulan's residence first.

As for his new residence, it depends on the will of King Chu and the Blood Bone Dao Ancestor—the war between the Earthly Fiend Lords is most likely coming to an end.

Let me emphasize again—in this wretched place called the Crimson Sand Realm, the Water Master is undoubtedly a superior being.

The lights were bright, and the curtains were lightly drawn.

Beautiful women sit facing each other, their reflections mirrored in the water.

The Jade Palace Immortal looked at the beauty before him and said softly.

"Loulan, it's late at night. You've waited for me for ten years. I have no way to repay you except this..."

Only what?
cut!
Being able to become a Daoist partner of the Immortal Venerable is truly a blessing for Xue Loulan. She earned the Immortal Venerable's approval through her loyalty.

Even though the Immortal Venerable has now regained his true strength, he is still willing to give Xue Loulan the right to be chiseled.

The Immortal's kindness is truly admirable!
"and many more!"

Seeing the Jade Palace Immortal's large hand, Mang Xiang could no longer hold back.

There's always a way when you reach the mountain, but when you're in a house, you'll be dug out. When it really came to this, Mangxiang realized that he might not actually be the kind of person with an exceptionally, exceptionally, exceptionally firm belief in Taoism.

Being humiliated by a disciple, especially as a gender-swapped disciple intended as a Daoist partner, is something I, Mang Xiang, cannot do. I can achieve Dao, but this is truly unacceptable.

Mang Xiang wasn't stupid; he immediately came up with a reason.

"Di Sha, Loulan doesn't want to be seen as someone who rose to power by relying on you."

Therefore, give Loulan some time. Once Loulan reaches the Celestial Realm, then we can engage in human relations together.

It is reasonable and full of the unique charm of cultivators in the Crimson Sand Realm.

There is no concept of gender equality in the Crimson Sand Realm. Because of the hardship of survival, everyone in this realm is a survivor struggling on the brink of life and death.

Female cultivators in this realm often possess extremely high aspirations, as evidenced by Zi Xirou's disdain for Feng Di Sha.

Moreover, it's not that difficult for someone from the Crimson Sand Realm to enter the Celestial Realm, not to mention that Xue Loulan comes from a Dao Ancestor's family.

Therefore, the reason that Mangxiang made up on the spot actually fooled the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

"Good, your current cultivation level is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Celestial Realm."

I estimate that I will be personally summoned by the Blood Bone Dao Ancestor for a meeting, and at that time, I will take you away from the front line.

The front lines are dangerous. Once you return to the Blood Bone Dao Court, you can focus on your cultivation and break through to a higher realm.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is truly considering the well-being of Xue Loulan!
However.
The same thing can have different appearances in different dimensions.

In Yu Mangxiang's eyes, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's suggestion was clearly a trap.

We're all used to unresolved games, there's no need to pretend to be foreign guests.

If Jade Palace Immortal Venerable brought Blood Loulan back to the Dao Court, was it to join forces with Blood Bone Dao Ancestor to deal with the Mangxiang?

The mad elephant dared not gamble!
Just as the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable encounters unexpected and uncontrollable events, so too does the Wild Elephant. The Immortal Venerable approaches absolute rationality, yet he cannot achieve it. Even if he did achieve absolute rationality, not everything would go smoothly or as desired.

The "theory of the omnipotence of reason" and the "theory of the omnipotence of productivity" are both things that seem correct but are often inapplicable.

In short, the Jade Palace Immortal's well-intentioned suggestion was seen by Mang Xiang as a potential threat.

The unexpected has already occurred, and the possible developments have been dictated by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable in the power struggle between the two sides.

Mang Xiang carefully considered his options and came up with another excuse.

"Hahaha, we cultivators should seek opportunities for advancement in life-and-death battles."

Hiding in the back is certainly good, but my ambition is to become the Dao Ancestor, so how can I be afraid of the predicament before me?

"Earthly Fiend, didn't you also survive a life-or-death crisis before reaching the Celestial Realm?"

He sang it very well, but a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Mangxiang knew that the excuse she came up with in the second wave was somewhat ridiculous, so she tried to find another one.

“However, if you wish for me to stay by your side, I can certainly return to the Bloodbone Dao Court with you.”

They feign agreement, then turn the tables or run away halfway.

The difference between reality and expectations was too great, and Mang Xiang had already realized that, given Wang Yulou's skill level, if he stayed by his good apprentice's side for too long, his true abilities would be exposed sooner or later—he couldn't possibly actually start digging with Wang Yulou, could he?

However, just as Jade Palace Immortal Venerable could not imagine that beneath the surface of Blood Loulan lay a savage elephant, the savage elephant could not imagine that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable he encountered was different from those he had encountered before.

Where is it different?
Over the past ten years, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has experienced the most setbacks and unexpected events since he began his cultivation!
Unexpected events kept creating new complications, and when the whip landed on the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's buttocks, it almost made him scream.

They didn't lose in the end, but it was a victory won with all their might, so it was almost the same as losing.

It can be said that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable that Mangxiang is currently facing is at a certain peak state.

So, what is a high-ranking monk?

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable looked tenderly at Blood Loulan, reaching out as if to stroke her cheek, and then unleashed a wondrous technique to transform into a dragon.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable didn't care about the reasons, possibilities, or consequences. The key point was that he was absolutely certain that Blood Tower was definitely not right.

A little bit of something is not a big deal, two little bits of something is not a big deal, but when a bunch of things are connected, what is there to hesitate about?
The Wonderful Transformation into Dragon is a special version of the divine power that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable improved upon the Golden Elixir Divine Power 'Seven Spirit Water Dragon'. Its power needs no further explanation.

Starting from zero frames, the Immortal Venerable's sneak attack was indeed terrifying. In order to survive, Mang Xiang had no choice but to immediately reveal his formless form.

Before the Jade Palace Immortal's incredulous and shocked gaze, Blood Loulan transformed into a wisp of pure energy, about to escape from in front of him.

Wild elephant!

Hey, it's a wild elephant!
And it even tried to run away!
The shock this event brought to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was beyond the limits of what language could express.

It's too abstract, too abstract.

The thought of almost having to break through the dam with the wild elephant sent a chill down the Jade Palace Immortal's spine.

It's hard to say whether Xue Loulan would choose Mangxiang or Bifang if his identity were replaced and Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had to choose.

How outrageous!
Since it was a wild elephant, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable stopped pretending and directly took out the Immortal Shell Water Sound Golden Token.

He didn't even bother to pursue, simply holding the golden token and calmly watching the monstrous elephant transform into pure energy.

Damn it, keep acting with me!
"Run?"
Why don't you run?
"Try it, keep running, and see if your escape speed is faster or my Senbei Water Sound Golden Token is faster!"

It must be stated that Mangxiang intended to leave directly.

After all, in his view, if Jade Palace Immortal Venerable exposed his excessive strength, he would also be targeted. Therefore, Wang Yulou was most likely just using the Water Drop Immortal Venerable's supernatural power as a pretense.

However, Mangxiang was too clever. At almost the same moment, he realized that even if Jade Palace Immortal Venerable really used the Immortal Shell Water Sound, he could find an excuse from Pure Water.

Therefore, it's not a lose-lose situation; it's that the mad elephant loses to the death, while the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable suffers a minor loss.

In this situation, if Mang Xiang insists on running away, considering their relationship, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable might actually risk being suspected and directly kill him.

With a swift thought, Mangxiang reverted to its original form and transformed back into the appearance of Xue Loulan.

"Di Sha, you just scared me, that's why I ran away."

Old Mang tried to put on an act, but note that this is still not the case with the idiot Mang Xiang.

Mang Xiang was thinking that, at the very least, at the very least, he shouldn't let Wang Yulou immediately confirm that he was Mang Xiang.

The two were so irreconcilable enemies that Mang Xiang dared not imagine how Jade Palace Immortal Venerable would torture him.

"Snapped!"

Starting with zero frames again, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable coldly delivered a powerful blow to the Savage Elephant.

The wild elephant fled, while the Jade Palace Immortal pursued.

Old Mang didn't dare to rush out, so the two of them chased each other inside the courtyard.

For a moment, it had a playful, teasing feel to it.

There was no way around it; Wang Yulou was too good at scheming. In just a few years, he had already become one of the Blood Bone Dao Court's own people.

Since Mangxiang has seized Xueloulan's identity, if the two fight big, the people of Xuegu Daoting will definitely be more willing to help Yuque Immortal Venerable.

By then, two fists will be no match for four hands, and the situation might be even worse than it is now, where we only need to deal with Wang Yulou.
However, the Mangxiang, which is theoretically faster, gradually couldn't outrun the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable due to his strategy of constantly adding Xuan Water to the environment.

That's how shameless the great cultivator of water magic is!
To make matters worse, Mang Xiang wasn't in a hurry to enter the Celestial Realm; he wanted to devour the Cloud Mist Sect first and then enter the Celestial Realm within it.

But he just happened to run into Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who had returned to the True Person realm. Fighting a True Person with the strength of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, and fighting an enemy like Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, Mang Xiang had no chance of winning.

Grabbing the elephant's body, the Immortal Venerable gave him no chance to explain, and immediately attacked with both hands, slamming it into his groin twice more.

"Crack! Crack!"

It can be said that the boy from Wangjiashan's long-cherished dream has finally become a reality in this absurd world.

That mountain that once suffocated the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was as easy to handle as a lump of dough in the Immortal Venerable's hands.

Having already been slapped three times, Mangxiang saw that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable still showed no sign of stopping, and hurriedly shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, stop immediately! I am your master!"

As the saying goes: Three punches brought tears to the eyes of the raging elephant. Fellow Daoist Yuque, please stop! I am your master.

Wang Yulou used the Xuan Shui as chains to bind the monstrous elephant and then lifted it up.

The Xuan Shui chains were wrapped around the body of the savage elephant. Within the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's 'Mysterious Water Limitless Spirit' domain, the savage elephant now resembled a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Starting with zero frames, the powerful opponent locked onto the enemy; Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's bold judgment yielded huge benefits!

"Mang Xiang, give me a reason not to kill you!"

Wang Yulou couldn't think of any reason why he wouldn't kill Mang Xiang.

There's no need to dwell on the reasons behind many things. The fact that Mangxiang appeared before Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and was captured by him suggests that even Heaven thinks Mangxiang deserves to die!

"Wang Yulou, the situation of the world is extremely precarious. Now that we have entered this realm, it is the perfect time for us to make our mark. If we, master and disciple, join forces and slaughter this realm, we will both be able to reach the top-tier Golden Core realm!"

There was one thing that Mang Xiang had never expected—Wang Yulou had also mastered a great path.

This matter is actually quite outrageous.

Mang Xiang started out practicing the Formless Method, and his understanding of the Formless Great Dao is actually just so-so.

As the acquired path he created, Mangxiang is the highest level of the Formless Method—although it's not that high.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had only cultivated for two hundred years, yet he had already mastered a Great Dao. By using the Mysterious Water Dao Divine Power Combat System and the suppression of his cultivation, he beat the Mangxiang into a ball.

Therefore, the monstrous elephant, now like fish on a chopping board, can only try its best to give reasons for its survival.

"That's not enough. I can cut through the Crimson Sand Realm all by myself. I'll leave you alive and deal with you later."

There's no point in pretending. Even if Wang Yulou cooperates with Mang Xiang, he'll eventually turn against him.

Rather than risk a future falling out and uncertainty about victory or defeat, it's better to secure the victory in the present.

In the eyes of the Immortal Venerable, there was nothing difficult to choose.

Thinking of this, a resolute look flashed in Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's eyes, and he immediately prepared to deal with his good master.

However, Mang Xiang was very clever. How could an old man like him not understand the thoughts revealed in the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal?

"Wait, wait, His Majesty has dispatched more than four hundred cultivators in order to expand the heavens."

A new era has begun, and infinite possibilities lie hidden in the void. Yu Lou, our conflicts are nothing; we have a basis for cooperation.

If we join forces, after we've consumed this world, we can consume other worlds outside of it.

I am sincere. If you kill me, you will gain nothing and lose an important ally.

I stayed by your side to follow these plans, but I wasn't ready to do *that* with you yet, which is why I was inadvertently exposed.

Lao Mang's survival instinct has exploded, and he's now willing to be exposed—he's really willing to take on any role in order to survive.

"Ha, the void is not so easy to explore, Mangxiang, don't try to fool me."

The way of Heaven is to take from those who have more than enough to give to those who have less than enough; the way of the immortals is to take from those who have less than enough to give to those who have more than enough.

It's the same everywhere, and the same in everything.

Those cultivators sent out by Bifang, supposedly to explore the outer worlds, will also become provisions in the future.

Seeing that Wang Yulou remained unmoved, Mang Xiang finally resorted to his trump card for survival.

“We are different. We have already attained enlightenment, and we have the opportunity to go further.”

Yu Lou, let me be frank, before I came here His Majesty gave me a feather.

"If you kill me, His Majesty will see it through these feathers on his body that you killed me."

The dying words of Bifang's feathers are a testament.
That's outrageous. Those who know will understand that Bifang is a Celestial King, but those who don't will think it's some kind of high-tech camera.

"Let me see first, come on."

Upon hearing about Bifang's feathers, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable immediately became interested.

It should be noted that, given the level of the Celestial King Bifang, the things that fall from its body are often excellent spiritual objects and materials.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable wanted Bi Fang's feathers so that he could ask his never-before-seen superior for help when necessary.

Bi Fang is of course Wang Yulou's superior. His master, Mang Xiang, is Bi Fang's man. His father-in-law, Mu Chunze, is the prime minister of the Immortal Kingdom. His former faction leader, Qing Rui, is also Bi Fang's man. His Daoist partner, Di Shui, even attained Dao directly in the Immortal Kingdom.
With these entanglements, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can naturally do whatever he wants. No matter which direction he strives in, he will inevitably have to deal with Bi Fang in the future.

Compared to the Wuji Dao Lord who kept his true identity hidden, the Bifang Immortal King was much more active; his power was real and could be activated.

“No, Wang Yulou, don’t play dumb. We have no grudge against each other, do we?” Mang Xiang said helplessly.

This time, Mang Xiang was caught off guard by Wang Yulou, who had mastered the Dao of Water, and he was finally unable to hold on any longer.

From the moment he left until now, Mangxiang has been on the verge of life and death.

In the battle between cultivators, sometimes it's just a matter of a flash. Since he couldn't deal with the Immortal Shell Water Sound, Mang Xiang naturally needed to avoid a lose-lose situation with Wang Yulou.

"No grudge? Mangxiang, our Wang clan has served you for a thousand years, and you have killed countless Foundation Establishment cultivators of our Wang clan. And you claim that there is 'no grudge' at all? Ha, how laughable!"

Wang Yulou was truly disgusted and felt quite uncomfortable, as did Mang Xiang.

Those people, those events
Well, given a sufficiently long time span, these events are bound to happen.

I took a lot from the Wang family, but I also gave them a lot in return!
Wang Yulou, even at this point, you still want to cherish your reputation? Don't forget, the world is a slaughterhouse.

"You've had it too easy, and you're too protective of your reputation. How will you ever grow bigger? How will you ever climb higher?"

Mang Xiang knew his disciple well, and he was fully aware of Wang Yulou's shortcomings.

Well, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is good in every way, but sometimes, he just can't bring himself to be ruthless.

They cherish their reputation and are unwilling to take responsibility!
The Jade Palace Immortal, though caught off guard, remained calm and asked the question.

"You don't cherish your feathers, but you're so generous. Then give me Bifang's spirit feathers—I'll help you cherish your feathers!"

(End of this chapter)
