Unlimited priesthood

Chapter 128 It’s over
An old man on Dongting Lake.

Fish and dragons among men.

Upon seeing the man in the straw hat and raincoat, such words suddenly arose from those around him.

The cultivators were even more agitated.

"Ding Shengji..."

"died?"

"He died like this!"

"This person……"

"He must possess a great treasure! He must possess a great treasure!"

His expression was chaotic, a mixture of surprise and delight.

Needless to say, Ding Shengyi, a Thunderfire Sword Cultivator who had reached the peak of Qi Refining and was close to Foundation Establishment, was suddenly killed by his opponent in the blink of an eye, despite having been in control of the situation just moments before.

How could anyone not be astonished by such a thing?

But compared to shock, some people were even more overjoyed.

"This person has been using martial arts techniques to fight his enemies from beginning to end, and has not used any spiritual power. Although the Mad Dragon Drill move was amazing, there was no corresponding spiritual energy in the surrounding world."

“Cultivators possess primordial spirits in their methods. Once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, after the essence, energy, and spirit converge at the top of the head to cultivate spiritual consciousness, they can mobilize the primordial spirits of heaven and earth with their magical power, and even enter the state of unity between heaven and man, where their words become law and heaven and earth respond to them.”

"This person has no primordial spirit, and his moves just now did not seem to resonate with the heavens and earth, indicating that he is still a martial artist and not a cultivator. Yet he was able to kill Ding Shengji in one move, and even shattered that high-grade Xuanjin Shield with a single blow. This undoubtedly proves..."

"This person must possess a priceless treasure, an extraordinary celestial treasure!"

"A martial artist, a cultivator who has defied the odds, and a swordsman specializing in thunder and fire, could only be someone who relies on a treasure."

"No wonder he clearly had the power to kill Ding Shengji instantly, but he was constantly fighting with that Thunderfire Sword. It seems he knew that the treasure was extraordinary and could not be easily shown to others, but in the end, he was still forced to this point by Ding Shengji."

"What kind of divine destiny did he obtain?"

"Such an opportunity..."

The cultivators' minds raced, their eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and delight.

"boom!!!"

Several streaks of light burst through the night sky and plunged into the battlefield.

"Major Foundation Building and Repair!"

"finally come?"

Several beams of spiritual light appeared, each extraordinary, their power surpassing even Ding Shengji's previous thunder and fire sword light. They directly mobilized the spiritual energy of a region, striking the old fisherman in the straw hat and raincoat in the center.

Without further ado, with the precious treasure before us and the opportunity looming ahead, we can only strive to be the first.

kill! ! !

Rob!!!
Several beams of spiritual light pierced through the air, within which the shapes of artifacts could be faintly seen, such as bells, cauldrons, shuttles, swords, and a spiritual pearl in the shape of a serpent. At the very least, they were all top-grade magical artifacts, and two of them even reached the level of "spiritual artifacts," wielding the power of heaven and earth, with extremely astonishing power.

Faced with such an offensive, the old fisherman acted decisively, instantly retracting his bamboo pole. Then, he channeled his inner energy into his hands, and golden light suddenly flashed beneath his raincoat, like the blazing sun, instantly illuminating the night sky over Dongting Lake.

Those who are not cultivators lack spiritual consciousness and cannot achieve harmony with the universe or mobilize its power.

However, the strength of a human body may not be incapable of shaking the might of heaven and earth.

"hold head high!!!"

Shen He raised his Yuan Gong, and the dragon and tiger instantly converged in his dantian. An unparalleled stream of energy flowed through the eight extraordinary meridians, the four limbs and the hundred bones, and finally blasted out with his palm, creating the force of six dragons scattering in all directions.

"boom!!!"

Six dragon shadows shook the five directions, and the unparalleled flow of energy clashed with the primordial spirit artifact. Instantly, the air currents in the five directions exploded. Above, the night sky was in chaos, and below, the lake water surged. The six dragons and five spirits exploded together, finally revealing five figures that flipped back with the powerful current.

"boom!!!"

At the same time, the fisherman leaped into Dongting Lake and swam away with the rolling waves, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"What a thief!"

High in the sky, a person, still struggling to maintain his balance, looked at the dimly lit magic weapon in his hand and the turbulent Dongting Lake below, and exclaimed in shock and anger, "How could someone possess such power?"

"This is no ordinary stroke of luck; he must be carrying a great treasure!"

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also stood still and immediately probed the lake with their spiritual senses, trying to find the person's whereabouts, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea; they couldn't find any clues at all.

"So fast?"

"He can't go very far!"

"It must still be in Dongting Lake."

"Fellow Daoists, let us join forces and surely bring him to justice!"

Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage are all decisive individuals. After exchanging spiritual senses, the group once again activated their magical artifacts, either flying into the air or plunging into the water, showing a determination to achieve their goal.

"this……!"

Those around were also stunned and speechless upon seeing this.

"One person facing five Foundation Establishment cultivators alone?"

"Martial arts skills and physical strength were enough to withstand five powerful cultivators and even create an opportunity for my escape?"

"What kind of extraordinary treasure or destiny does this person possess?"

"Such a performance suggests that this sect's destiny for immortality is extraordinary."

"Judging from the attitude of these five great cultivators, this person's value in their hearts is probably no less than that of the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp, or even greater. They will not give up until they get him."

"With five powerful cultivators joining forces, using their Foundation Establishment spiritual senses to sweep away all obstacles, can this person truly escape alive?"

The cultivators talked incessantly, discussing the matter animatedly.

Meanwhile, those martial artists were still immersed in the splendor of the "immortal sword fight," unable to extricate themselves and unwilling to wake up.

In the distance, the fishing gangs scattered like birds and beasts, the fishermen hid deep in the reeds, and countless people secretly discussed the supernatural events of the night, as well as the legend of the "Old Fisherman of Dongting Lake".

...It was late at night on Dongting Lake.

A flying boat soared through the air, cruising on the lake.

On the flying boat, another person appeared, an old man with white hair, his brows furrowed.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

"How could the art of observing qi fail?"

"Could it be the effect of this person's destiny with immortality?"

Li Fengshan frowned, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he possesses a technique for finding spirits and observing auras. When used in the heavens and earth, it can be used to search for primordial spirits and collect all sorts of rare treasures. When used on living beings, it can be used to track them down and lock in even the slightest trace of their aura. It can be found anywhere, whether in the heavens or the earth, and is a powerful method for pursuing souls and taking lives.

With this, he not only gained many rare and precious treasures, but also robbed and killed some fat sheep who were unaware of the dangers of the cultivation world.

When the Nine-Star True Dragon Carp was born, he originally wanted to try his luck, but he unexpectedly stumbled upon such a celestial destiny, a celestial being who could cultivate true essence and establish a foundation in martial arts in the mortal world, with outstanding strength.

This greatly excited him. He thought he could use his ability to detect spirits and observe auras to seize this opportunity to become a celestial being, but what he didn't expect...

Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, vanished without a trace!
The search for his spirit and aura was ineffective; the old fisherman of Dongting seemed to have vanished, and no trace of his presence could be found.

Just as Li Fengshan was feeling down, a carriage pulled by a strange beast came galloping by.

A large, rugged-looking man sat on the carriage and blocked the way.

"Um!?"

Li Fengshan's eyes narrowed: "So it's Fellow Daoist Meng from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. May I ask why you've stopped me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The burly man surnamed Meng snorted coldly: "Have you found any trace of that person?"

Li Fengshan frowned: "I haven't seen it!"

"really?"

The burly man surnamed Meng looked at him coldly: "Even your technique of searching for spirits and observing qi cannot find his trace."

"Even with your spirit beasts capable of tracking across thousands of miles, Fellow Daoist Meng still couldn't find him, could he?"

Li Fengshan's expression remained unchanged: "This person must have something to shield his aura. My method of searching for spirits and observing auras is nothing but a heretical approach. Even in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, I couldn't find it. How could I possibly find it?"

"That's best!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man surnamed Meng felt that there was some truth to it, but he still gave a warning before driving away in his spirit beast chariot.

"Bah! You scoundrel who relies on his master's power! One day when you fall into my hands, I'll make you know what it means to wish you were dead!"

Watching him leave, Li Fengshan cursed inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, continuing his search by piloting the flying boat.

……

The storm raged on Dongting Lake, but the main character was nowhere to be seen.

"Wow!"

The Iron-feathered Eagle flapped its wings and traversed through the sea of ​​clouds.

Shen He sat on the back of the iron sculpture, looking at the gold-embroidered storage bag in his hand, which was of exceptional quality, with a satisfied expression in his eyes.

He had planned this battle in advance. His contracted spirit beasts, such as the Seven-Star Dragon Carp and the Copper-Backed Alligator Dragon, hid in the water to collect the spoils of war. At the last moment, they cooperated with him to use the Spirit Fusion Secret Technique and escape quickly using the power of water escape.

In layman's terms, it means showing off and then running away, not giving the other party a chance to retaliate.

As for why he was showing off like that, it was obviously to gain experience from the "Hidden Immortals".

Hermitage is the primary way for hermits to gain experience.

However, this kind of seclusion does not necessarily mean leaving the world and practicing in seclusion.

If you conceal your identity and use various aliases to do some big things, causing a huge uproar and even turning the world upside down, and yet no one can find you, you can still gain secluded cultivation experience, and a lot of it at that.

To use that outdated and clichéd phrase, it's like saying, "I may be out of the game, but my legend lives on!"

Therefore, Shen He created the pseudonym "Dongting Fisherman" and destroyed the Goldfish Gang tonight, fighting against cultivators to maximize his influence without revealing himself, thus cultivating in seclusion and gaining experience.

The entire plan went very smoothly. Although he was only at the third level of martial arts cultivation, with the Xingyi Shenwu of the Human Empire, as well as the martial arts achievements accumulated over thousands of years of hard work and several lifetimes, he not only easily killed the Thunderfire Sword Cultivator Ding Shengji, but also exchanged blows with the five Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although he did not win, he still demonstrated his strength and further expanded his influence.

Now, the story of the old fisherman of Dongting Lake is known to everyone. Ordinary people and fishermen have long regarded him as a deity, while cultivators regard him as a fat sheep who has encountered immortality and possesses great treasures.

All of these aspects can provide him with the experience of a hermit immortal.

In fact, several days ago, he had already used the experience gained from "Dongting Fisherman" in destroying several major gangs and families to turn his small island into a place of seclusion. Tonight's visit was just the final harvest.

Now that the harvest is complete, it's time for him to withdraw and escape this vortex.

What, go back?

Although the island had been converted into a secluded cultivation ground, possessing concealment abilities comparable to those of immortal hermits, making it difficult even for Foundation Establishment cultivators to detect, Shen He still did not intend to return.

After all, just because Foundation Establishment is hard to detect doesn't mean Core Formation is hard to detect.

What if the other side doesn't have any martial ethics and brings in their Core Formation Ancestor?
Shen He didn't want to take any risks.

Therefore, withdrawing is the wise choice.

Since the island has become a secluded place for cultivation, and he has made arrangements in advance, the spiritual creatures on the island can grow on their own. As long as they are not discovered, after a few years, when this storm has completely passed, he can come back and harvest them at his leisure and continue to manage the island.

Isn't it beautiful?

So now, he has decided to temporarily leave Dongting Lake and go to explore the "cultivation world".

It is just as the saying goes: "Having accomplished his task, he dusted off his clothes and departed, concealing his identity and fame!"

But before that, he wanted to open the package and see what these "spending money boys" had contributed.

A person destined for immortality?
Who is the immortal, and who is fate, is never certain.
