Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 131 I Want to Slay Immortals
"However, if it stops there, it still won't be enough to break through Wang's fists!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xianzhi vanished. The next instant, he appeared above Lü Xuanzhen, his fist crashing down like a mountain.

Lu Xuanzhen neither dodged nor evaded, but blocked with his Pure Yang Sword, which hummed as it passed through the air. He used the momentum to sink down, dissipating most of the force, and at the same time, he turned the sword and slashed diagonally at Wang Xianzhi's wrist.

Wang Xianzhi changed his move extremely quickly, turning his fist into a palm with his five fingers like hooks, attempting to directly confront the sword's edge.

The two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant, the sound of their fists and swords clashing like thunder, and the surging energy cleaved the sea surface into countless ravines.

In the distance, the crowd watching from the top of Emperor Wu's city wall was already dumbfounded. Someone murmured, "This...this isn't a martial arts contest! It's clearly a battle of gods!"

Just then, Lü Xuanzhen suddenly let out a long roar, his figure rising several feet into the air, his sword pointing towards the sky. In an instant, the clouds churned, and a golden light descended from the heavens, enveloping him.

"Wang Xianzhi, take this sword strike—'Opening Heaven'!"

Before the sword light fell, the world had already lost its color.

Wang Xianzhi's pupils contracted sharply as he felt unprecedented pressure. He took a deep breath, his blood boiling, and slowly thrust out his fists, his energy like a grinding millstone, determined to take this earth-shattering sword strike head-on.

"Come!"

The sword light cascaded like a silver river, and the fist's intent surged like a mountain collapsing across the sky. The moment the two forces collided, time seemed to stand still.

"boom--!"

A blinding white light erupted, forcing the onlookers to close their eyes and cover their faces. When the light dissipated, a colossal crater a thousand feet in diameter was revealed on the sea surface, with seawater overflowing and forming a towering whirlpool.

Wang Xianzhi stood in the center of the vortex, his hair and beard all white, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at the figure holding a sword in the air and suddenly laughed loudly: "How exhilarating! How exhilarating! I haven't encountered such an opponent in decades!"

Lu Xuanzhen landed slowly, his face slightly pale, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished: "Old Monster Wang, can you still fight?"

Wang Xianzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said boldly, "What's wrong with another three hundred rounds?"

Just as their auras were rising again, a deafening roar suddenly came from the heavens.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden crack appeared in the sky above the East China Sea, and the Heavenly Gate opened!

Countless auspicious clouds surged forth from the crack, accompanied by ethereal music and boundless radiant light. Behind the gate, one could vaguely see magnificent palaces and cranes soaring, as a vast and mighty divine power poured down.

“Tianmen…” Wang Xianzhi looked up, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Lu Xuanzhen stood with his sword in hand, his white robes fluttering in the wind. He looked at the magnificent Heavenly Gate and sneered, "It's that same old trick again."

"It seems we won't be able to fight today."

Wang Xianzhi suddenly laughed, his fighting spirit receding like a tide. This second-best in the world patted his tattered clothes and sat cross-legged on the waves.

"However, to have fought with you to this extent is truly the greatest honor of my life!"

Lu Xuanzhen casually tossed the Pure Yang Sword into the clouds, and the longsword transformed into a dragon that circled him three times before finally hovering behind him. He then sat on the crest of a wave, mimicking Wang Xianzhi, and the sea instantly froze into a mirror-like surface.

The two of them completely disregarded the ascension that every martial artist in the world yearns for.

As the two stopped fighting, the magnificent heavenly gate had no choice but to slowly close.

Wang Xianzhi brought the old wine that he had instructed his disciples to fetch beforehand. He broke the jar, took a big sip, and the wine spilled down his clothes and into the sea. He then tossed it to Lü Xuanzhen.

"Try my treasured wine, aged thirty years!" Lü Xuanzhen took the wine jar, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. The wine trickled down his neck, soaking his shirt. He casually wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly, "Fine wine! Let's drink a whole cup!"

Looking at Lü Xuanzhen, whose face still looked quite young, Wang Xianzhi sighed, "I never imagined that Lü Zu in this life would be such a bold and forthright young man."

Lu Xuanzhen tossed the wine jar back, deliberately letting a hint of reminiscence flash in his eyes: "All that happened in my past life is but smoke and clouds. In this life, I only seek to live a life of pleasure and freedom."

He acted as if he were the reincarnation of Lü Dongbin.

Wang Xianzhi took the wine jar, took another sip, and suddenly said seriously, "You came to Wudi City today not just to fight, right?"

Lu Xuanzhen laughed and said, "I have a plan. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"What's the plan?"

Lu Xuanzhen looked up and pointed to the sky, laughing, "The celestial beings in the heavens fish for the fortunes of the mortal world, manipulate the fates of people, and treat all living beings as fish on a chopping board. In the end, they are just a bunch of parasites who steal the time of heaven."

His fingertips flickered with sword energy, slicing a straight trench through the surging seawater: "Why not join forces and slay the immortals!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Wang Xianzhi's eyes.

"Slaying immortals?!"

As can be seen from the original work, although Wang Xianzhi was the reincarnation of the White Emperor, one of the Five Heavenly Emperors, he had a high sense of responsibility towards the human world.

Ascension would be effortless for him. However, Wang Xianzhi chose to remain in the mortal realm to prevent the vast plundering of human fortune. Human fortune is finite; if it were massively seized by immortals, the path of cultivation for martial artists would become even more difficult.

Wang Xianzhi not only refused to ascend himself, but also prevented other martial artists from ascending through the Heavenly Gate. This was because he believed that those who ascended would take away the great fortune of the mortal realm, further weakening its overall strength.

Moreover, on his deathbed, he left three parts of his fortune to future generations of martial artists, so that they would have more opportunities to grow.

It can be said that if Lü Xuanzhen wanted to take action against the immortal realm in the snow world, Wang Xianzhi would definitely be a good partner.

As for why they wanted to take action against the Immortal Realm...

The interior space suggests that there is no better resource than a celestial realm.
In Lü Xuanzhen's view, the so-called Immortal Realm was more like a higher-level blessed land, attached to the mortal realm, similar to the Western Xuan Cave Heaven that his original self, Han Yun, had devoured.

The so-called Heavenly Gate is actually the same as the entrance to a grotto.

According to my understanding of blessed lands, all blessed lands have a coverage area, which overlaps with the space of the real world.

For example, the Western Mysterious Cave Heaven is recorded to be three thousand li in circumference, which also covers the real world within a three thousand li circumference. Within this three thousand li of the real world, one can actually open the cave heaven portal and enter the interior of the Western Mysterious Cave Heaven.

Therefore, there are several theories, one being that it is on Mount Hua, and another that it is at Yuling Pass. In fact, these theories are all correct, except that they are different entrances.

The fairy realm in the snow world covers a much larger area than the Western Mysterious Cave Heaven; otherwise, the Heavenly Gates wouldn't appear in various places in the human world.

Lu Xuanzhen came to the Snow World for two purposes: first, to seek the Dao, and second, to plot against the Immortal Realm.

Wang Xianzhi was the first person invited by Lü Xuanzhen, but definitely not the last.

There are many who are unhappy with the Immortal Realm and can't stand it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Lü Xuanzhen wants to devour the Immortal Realm, he must first eliminate its "residents".

Isn't this a perfect match?
