My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.
Chapter 179 This Rebellion Was Like Child's Play
Chapter 179 This Rebellion Was Like Child's Play
Bai Chijing was also surprised that this person would be involved in such a variable. This manager of the Xuanxiu Division of Daxuan had come here not only to bring gifts, but also to ask him to do a task from the Xuanxiu Division.
"Bai Xuanxiu, the prefect of Yuntang Pass has committed a grave offense of disrespect, yet he shows no remorse. He even killed the officials sent by the court to investigate, and now he has raised an army in rebellion! Therefore, His Majesty wishes to invite Bai Xuanxiu to go to Yuntang Pass to execute all the traitors." This is what Steward Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing's heart stirred slightly. He remembered very clearly that this Prefect of Yuntang Pass was the one responsible for completing the final step, forcing him to be born prematurely.
This person possesses a power similar to that of the Celestials.
Unlike those favored by the Heavenly Court, this Prefect of Yuntang Pass seemed to be a part of the Heavenly Court's power reincarnated into the mortal realm. Even with mediocre cultivation, he could easily intimidate ordinary immortals.
Therefore, Bai Chijing had a very deep impression of this person.
Moreover, the celestial power emanating from this prefect of Yuntang Pass was particularly prominent in terms of filth. Even Bai Chijing's immortal stone body was easily corrupted by this celestial power.
It can be said that this person was a crucial pawn in the schemes of those near-immortals.
But now, this chess piece has openly rebelled.
This made Bai Chijing realize some subtle points, because the Zhi Xuan Heaven also values immortality! Therefore, the existence of the Xuanxian Dynasty is of great benefit to many immortals.
Especially those immortal sects and cultivation families within the Xuanxian Dynasty, whose ancestors all had immortals who ascended to the Immortal Extreme Cave.
Those who can go to the Immortal Cave must have had ancestors who were not ordinary immortals.
Therefore, interfering with the immortals' work is a taboo that can easily be committed!
"Could it be that the variable is going to happen here?" Bai Chijing couldn't help but think this way, since it made a lot of sense. So he gladly accepted the task and took his improved Huangqu Panshan Formation with him to Yuntang Pass.
Seeing Bai Chijing accept the order and leave, Manager Chen, knowing he had completed his mission, was overjoyed. He then said to one of the people who had come with him to carry the gifts, "Brother Ye, this mission deserves a great reward. How about I take care of you?"
The young man, whom Manager Chen called "Brother Ye," was a man who looked to be no more than twenty years old. He had an ordinary appearance and dressed in ordinary clothes. Underneath the Xuanxiu Division's uniform, his thin figure was highlighted. However, this young man had exceptionally bright eyes, as if he had extraordinary ambition, and his eyes were full of spirit.
Upon hearing this, the young man smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Chen. The success of this mission is entirely due to your planning and arrangements."
Although the words were spoken humbly, the tone was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of deliberate flattery.
Upon hearing this, Manager Chen couldn't help but laugh. Flattery has different effects depending on the person performing it. He found the young man's words particularly pleasing.
The young man's name was Ye Feifan. He and Manager Chen were not actually related. However, Ye Feifan happened to have saved Manager Chen's sister-in-law. As a result, Manager Chen took extra care of Ye Feifan within the scope of his authority.
In fact, Ye Feifan's successful inclusion in the gift-giving list this time was largely due to Xuan Xiusi's lack of knowledge about Bai Chijing's personality.
Otherwise, such a cushy job wouldn't have fallen to Ye Feifan, who had only recently entered the Xuanxiu Division and whose cultivation was merely at the third level of the External Realm.
Because the entire outer realm of the Xuanxian Dynasty, and even the immortals, are currently paying attention to Bai Chijing, anyone who is just accompanying the gift-giving party and responsible for carrying the gifts can be credited with a great merit.
In the Xuanxiu Division's merit calculation system, a great merit is considered to be of very high value. Once you obtain such a great merit in the Outer Material Realm, you are guaranteed to cultivate to the Upper Outer Appearance Realm!
If a person is also lucky, becoming a cultivator in the Outer Heaven Realm is almost a certainty.
"Hahaha, it's not my strategic planning that's at fault, it's all thanks to the wisdom of my superiors." Although Manager Chen was overjoyed by Ye Feifan's praise, he didn't get carried away.
"Yes, Brother Chen is absolutely right. Speaking of which, Brother Chen, what exactly is the background of this Lord Bai Xuanxiu?" Ye Feifan asked casually.
As soon as he said this, a glint flashed in his eyes.
Originally, Ye Feifan's luck was barely perceptible, which was quite ordinary and common. But as a strange light appeared in Ye Feifan's eyes, his luck suddenly became as thick as a thumb.
However, this scene, which could be described as earth-shattering, went unnoticed by anyone.
The only person who could be found, Bai Chijing, had already left.
Of those who remained, none were immortals. To see destiny, only those in the outer realms who possess extraordinary abilities, or immortals, could do so.
It should be understood that in this Heaven of Mystery, 98% of the resources and power related to immortals are concentrated in the Immortal Extreme Cave. The remaining 0.2% is scattered throughout the Azure Dragon Continent, giving this place its name, the Azure Dragon Immortal Abode.
In such circumstances, if a person does not have a good background, then their fortune will be as thin as a thread, just like Ye Feifan originally was.
At this moment, the change in fortune undoubtedly indicates that this person named Ye Feifan is no ordinary person.
And this is indeed the case.
Ye Feifan possesses a bead named Tianyun.
Ye Feifan, who possesses this item called "Heavenly Fortune," can use this bead to continuously seize the predetermined fortune of others, thereby strengthening himself.
What is predetermined destiny?
It is the destiny that is preordained for a person.
For example, this part of the fortune originally belonged to a magical artifact, and as this magical artifact was refined by a person, that person naturally obtained the fortune of the magical artifact.
However, not all magical artifacts that carry fortune possess this power.
Instead, the owner of this magical artifact must be predetermined as soon as it is created, so that Ye Feifan can fully utilize its fortune after successfully seizing it.
Once the fortune has been transformed and belongs to Ye Feifan, even if the magic weapon is taken away again, no one will be able to obtain this part of the fortune from Ye Feifan.
Right now, this Zhixuan Heaven is filled with a great deal of such predetermined destiny.
Because two immortal kings have been reincarnated and are about to ascend to the throne!
The ascension to the position of the Supreme Being of the Heavenly Realm is not something that can be achieved simply by reaching the peak of the attainment stage in this lifetime. Instead, one must return to the mortal realm and undergo numerous trials on the path to ascension.
At this moment, when Manager Chen heard Ye Feifan ask this question, along with several other people around him who had previously been in charge of rare and precious materials, they all looked at him.
After thinking for a moment, Manager Chen considered that these people were all close to him, and besides, the matter of Bai Chijing was not a secret, so he began to speak.
After he finished speaking, the group of people were naturally amazed.
Ye Feifan was the same, but the expression in his eyes had clearly changed, revealing extreme greed and joy.
He was certain that this man named Bai Chijing was someone of special status. Therefore, he must possess immense good fortune!
Even with the bead called Heavenly Fortune, Ye Feifan still couldn't see the flow of fortune, as his cultivation level was too low. Therefore, Ye Feifan's search for fortune that met his needs followed a set of basic logic.
And this set of basic logical judgments is indeed correct.
However, Ye Feifan never expected that Bai Chijing's luck was enormous, but unlike others, his luck was not predetermined; it all originated from himself and was not aided by any external factors.
Then Ye Feifan said, "Since this Lord Bai Xuanxiu is so extraordinary, may we go to Yuntang Pass and serve Lord Bai?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Chen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly realized that Ye Feifan and he were not actually that close. He was just repaying a favor. Besides, with Bai Chijing's strength, his trip to Yuntang Pass was almost guaranteed to succeed.
So, Manager Chen nodded and said, "Of course you can. But swords have no eyes and the battlefield is dangerous. Brother Ye, and all of you brothers, if you want to go, I will not stop you, but I would like to ask you to think it over carefully."
Human hearts are unpredictable. Once someone sees you as someone who is blocking your path, it is common for brothers to quarrel and fathers and sons to turn against each other. Therefore, even as a superior, Manager Chen could not forcefully suppress this matter.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feifan did not hesitate and clasped his hands in thanks.
Now that he has found his prey, he will surely follow it closely.
……
At this moment, Bai Chijing had already arrived at Yuntang Pass. His original location was far from Yuntang Pass; even an immortal would need to fly there for a day or two. Bai Chijing was able to arrive so quickly because there was no pass nearby.
At this moment, he saw that the two armies were already facing off outside Yuntang Pass.
One army was stationed on the city wall of Yuntang Pass, while the other was encamped outside the city. Therefore, it was obvious which side was friendly.
Bai Chijing descended from the clouds towards the direction where the camp was set up. Holding the mission order, after handing it over to the person in charge of the area, before the original person in charge of the area could leave in high spirits, he first set up the Huangqu Panshan Formation outside Yuntang Pass.
The killing formation had already been prepared, so setting it up at this time was extremely simple.
In an instant, dark clouds surged, and a gloomy atmosphere permeated the air, while a swirling stream of yellow water surrounded the entire Yuntang Pass.
This killing formation has now borrowed the power of heaven and earth.
Therefore, once this formation was completed, the power it emitted was already comparable to that of an immortal.
This is what makes Zhi Xuantian's formations unique.
Seeing this scene, Bai Chijing was still somewhat amazed, even though he already knew what kind of power this formation would have when fully deployed, since he was only at the Outer Manifestation Realm.
With this formation in hand, as long as no one comes who is equivalent to an immortal involved in the Mi Luo Zhi Zhen realm, then no matter how many come, they will all be reduced in cultivation.
Zhi Xuantian's array formations are truly ruthless and defy the heavens.
"May I ask your name, General?" There were naturally no ignorant people in Yuntang Pass, so as soon as this killing formation was formed, a figure appeared on the city wall and loudly questioned Bai Chijing.
"Definitely next time."
Bai Chijing was very perfunctory, after all, he had not come here to serve the Xuanxian Dynasty.
While revenge was one aspect, his primary motivation was to break through Yuntang Pass and find out what those near-immortals who had schemed against him were up to.
Let's investigate further what exactly these variables related to the ascension to the throne are!
"The little Huangqu Panshan Formation, let's see if the True Lord can break it!" Upon hearing Bai Chijing say this, someone inside Yuntang Pass immediately became unhappy and angrily stepped out, riding a black dragon, looking very majestic and extraordinary.
As soon as this person appeared, his mount roared angrily.
The terrifying dragon's might immediately stunned all the soldiers and generals in the camp behind Bai Chijing, including the former leader who had not yet left, who all sat down on the ground with a thud.
The former person in charge couldn't help but show a look of horror, and exclaimed repeatedly, "It's True Lord Xuanlong, the Celestial Being!"
Undoubtedly, this immortal riding a black dragon is no ordinary being.
After exclaiming in surprise, the former person in charge seemed worried that Bai Chijing was unaware of how terrifying the other party was, and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, this True Monarch Xuanlong could have entered the Immortal Extreme Cave, but his cultivation was not enough, so he has been cultivating in seclusion in Qinglong Continent. I don't know what methods the thieves of Yuntang Pass used to invite him out!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing did not dare to be arrogant and immediately activated the Yellow Curve Mountain Formation.
The reason why this Xuanlong Zhenjun Saitianren dared to step forward this time is that he is very familiar with this killing formation. After all, the Huangqu Panshan Formation, as the iconic formation of the Xuanxian Dynasty, has been passed down for many years.
However, as the first stream of water from the mountain landed on him, the Xuanlong True Monarch discovered that this killing formation was very different from the Huangqu Panshan Formation he was familiar with.
Thus, the man and the dragon, who were originally flying in mid-air, fell straight down. As they were swept up and rolled by the swirling yellow water, their immortal cultivation was completely wiped out.
Then, the accompanying thunderous force was about to turn the man and the dragon into dust.
However, at that moment, a streak of light flew into the killing formation and forcibly took away the Xuanlong True Monarch. As for the black dragon, it was beyond the scope of rescue and was directly killed by the lightning within the formation.
A dragon pearl that was originally radiant with divine light was not only dulled by the blow, but also shattered into pieces and scattered.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xuanlong Zhenjun, who had been rescued by the flowing light, had his already pale face, which was already ashen due to the loss of his cultivation, instantly turn extremely gloomy, as if water could drip from it.
However, the immortal who saved the Xuanlong True Monarch did not care about this at all. He simply clasped his fists at Bai Chijing and then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am here on my master's orders to take away this disciple of my master. Consider this a favor I, Lü, owe you."
"Your favor?" Bai Chijing shook his head upon hearing this.
"What, fellow Daoist, do you look down on me, Lü?" The immortal frowned slightly. Even though he knew that Bai Chijing was the reincarnation of the Primordial Immortal Power, he was still very displeased. After all, Bai Chijing was a direct disciple of a near-Dao Heavenly Venerable!
His cultivation level has already reached the stage of attainment!
"It's not a matter of whether you think highly of him or not, it's just that your junior brother might not appreciate it right now and be willing to let it go!" Bai Chijing pointed at the Xuanlong True Monarch, whose gaze towards Bai Chijing was one of utter hatred, as if he wanted to kill him.
After all, anyone who has spent years of hard work only to have it all go to waste will lose their composure and their emotions.
"This is Master's will, and your cultivation is not beyond recovery. I will take you to the imperial city of the Xuanxian Dynasty." Upon seeing this, the immortal immediately glanced at the Xuanlong True Monarch indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the True Lord Xuanlong, though still somewhat unwilling, finally sighed and nodded with a resentful expression. Although he had taken a near-Dao Celestial Venerable as his master, in the end, he was merely a disciple in name only.
