Chapter 398 The Immortal Lotus Lineage

It flew for another twenty miles.

Only then did Master Zizhen speak to Li Wushou:
"Mountain Lord, we're almost there."

Clearly, the Yanyang Mountains have also begun to be captured by the primordial spirit of Daoist Zizhen.

By comparing his own and Zizhen Daoist's spiritual vision, Li Wushou gained a clearer understanding of the strength of those in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although his primordial spirit was slightly insufficient, overall it was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of a typical late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Furthermore, with the evolution of the divine aperture, his current regular combat strength, even in a head-on confrontation, should not be weaker than that of a typical late-stage incarnation cultivator.

However, compared to a top-tier Nascent Soul cultivator like the Blood Buddha, he is still far behind!
Nodding slightly, Li Wushou asked the Purple True Daoist:

Where does the Luo family live in concentrated communities?

Upon hearing this, Daoist Zizhen pointed to the right front of the two and said:
"Forty miles northeast of the Yanyang Mountains lies Jinyan Mountain, which was originally the site of the Fire Worship Cult. Later, after the Luo Clan moved from the Xuanhuang Territory to the Yanwu Territory, they occupied Jinyan Mountain. However, the Luo Clan did not expel the Fire Worship Cult; they merely drove them from the south of the mountain to the north. Now, the Luo Clan resides in the south of Jinyan Mountain, near Yanyang Mountain."

Li Wushou looked in the direction pointed out by the Purple True Daoist, and sure enough, he saw a golden light and shadow under the clouds, which should be the main peak of Golden Flame Mountain.

At first glance, it really does look like a golden flame!
"Let's go and take a look first."

Master Zizhen nodded in agreement, and the two then flew towards Golden Flame Mountain.

After flying for about ten miles, Daoist Zizhen pondered for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak to Li Wushou:
"This Luo clan originated from the Azure Lotus Sacred Domain, and there should be a Mustard Seed Ferry on Golden Flame Mountain."

The opponent's ancestor, Lotus Venerable, is said to have lived for tens of thousands of years, and his strength is unfathomable.

Furthermore, more than a thousand years ago, a new Venerable of the Lotus Venerable lineage attained enlightenment and established the 'Immortal Lotus' lineage in the Azure Lotus Sacred Domain, known as the Immortal Lotus Great Venerable.

Although this Great Venerable has never preached or traveled the world, Great Venerable Yanwu speculates that he may not have attained enlightenment within the Holy Domain, but rather from the outside world.

As he spoke, Master Zizhen couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension and worry.

He didn't know why the mountain lord was inquiring about the Luo family, but he guessed it wasn't out of friendship.

Based on the version of events in the Sacred Realm of Flesh and Blood that the Mountain Lord had previously instructed to spread, it is highly likely that the Azure Lotus Envoy died at the hands of the Mountain Lord.

During this period, he put a lot of thought into fulfilling the mountain lord's instructions.

He couldn't change the mountain lord's mind about targeting the Luo clan; all he could do was investigate the Luo clan more thoroughly and carefully.

He was terrified that the mountain lord might misjudge the Luo family, thus suffering a great loss or even losing his life.

Upon hearing Zizhen Daoist's words, a fleeting look of surprise crossed Li Wushou's face.

Did he guess that he was going to target the Luo family?
Those who can cultivate to the level of Nascent Soul are indeed not easy people.

Nodding, Li Wushou replied without changing his expression:
"I see."

The information delivered by Master Zizhen was indeed quite important to Li Wushou, who was determined to settle scores with the Luo clan.

But Li Wushou was neither surprised nor flustered, because he knew more about the Immortal Lotus Venerable than Daoist Zizhen.

After Li Wushou met Wu Qinghe once in Zhenhai City, he inquired about her in many ways, but Jin Chuan and others kept quiet.

Later, Li Wushou learned some information about Wu Qinghe's maternal clan from Li Xing, including information about the Qinglian Luo clan and the Immortal Lotus Venerable.

This Immortal Lotus Venerable is none other than Wu Qinghe's birth mother. Indeed, she did not attain enlightenment within the Azure Lotus Sacred Domain, but rather within the Fubo Domain, just like Wu Zhuangyuan. It was precisely because of Wu Zhuangyuan's cover that so little was known about her.

Therefore, the Immortal Lotus Venerable can indeed roam freely throughout the world.

When Li Wushou asked Grandmaster Xianlian why he didn't assist Scholar Wu in guarding the Fubo Domain, Li Xing was certain that Grandmaster Xianlian wouldn't interfere in external affairs; he had more important things to do.

As for what it was, Li Xing didn't say.

But it's obvious that besides helping Wu Qinghe become an immortal, what else could possibly warrant such seriousness from the other party?
It was only after learning this that Li Wushou realized that Wu Zhuangyuan's words about helping Wu Qinghe become an immortal were not a joke.

This should not be the result of Wu Zhuangyuan's decision alone, or even the result of Wu Zhuangyuan's support.

Becoming an immortal is certainly a good thing, but if you know that there is a "roadblock" standing in the world, becoming an immortal may not necessarily be a good thing.

Wu Zhuangyuan clearly didn't want Wu Qinghe to bear so much burden.

However, the Immortal Lotus Venerable, who comes from the Azure Lotus Clan, should support and adopt the Azure Lotus Clan's method of becoming an immortal.

This should also be the core reason for the disagreement between Scholar Wu and the Immortal Lotus Venerable.

Now that things have come to this, because of Wu Qinghe's own choice, Wu Zhuangyuan had no choice but to compromise and began to assist the Immortal Lotus Venerable in helping Wu Qinghe refine her Dao Fruit.

After deducing all this, Li Wushou's hatred for the Luo clan intensified. Then, the Qinglian Envoy killed Tommy, which brought his murderous intent towards the Luo clan to its peak.

Therefore, having two Venerables in one family can intimidate many people, including the Great Venerable Yanwu, but it cannot frighten Li Wushou.

As long as the Immortal Lotus Venerable doesn't make a move, who in the Luo clan can do anything to him?
The reason Li Wushou chose to come and see first was simply to determine whether the strange phenomena in the Yanyang Mountains were related to the Luo family in this area.

If there really is a Dao Fruit that Luo Clan refined for Wu Qinghe within the Yanyang Mountains, then we should wait until the Dao Fruit is ripe before killing her.

If the two are unrelated, then he is now preparing to raze the Luo clan of Jin Yan Mountain to the ground!

The Purple True Daoist, who was flying closely beside Li Wushou, was taken aback when he heard Li Wushou's calm reply.

If he hadn't firmly believed that the mountain lord wasn't stupid, he would have doubted whether the mountain lord hadn't understood what he was saying.

This is a sect with two Venerables, and one of them is even suspected of being able to travel across the Great Domain at any time and dominate the world!

Is it really that simple: "I understand"?
Moreover, for a fleeting moment, Daoist Zizhen sensed a chilling killing intent emanating from the mountain lord.

Knowing all this, why did he not only not care, but also reveal such a firm killing intent?
What exactly did the Luo family do to offend the mountain lord?

Although he had not known the mountain lord for long, he greatly respected the mountain lord's character.

Moreover, what is the background of the mountain lord that he would disregard the Luo family, which has two powerful members?

Although Daoist Zizhen harbored reservations about the Luo family, since the Mountain Lord showed no fear, he had no other choice. The Mountain Lord must have his reasons for doing this.

Just as Daoist Zizhen was pondering, he suddenly heard the mountain lord asking:

What are they doing over there?

Master Zizhen was taken aback, then composed himself, looked towards the direction of Golden Flame Peak, and respectfully replied:

"This is the Zoroastrian religion preparing for a Zoroastrian ceremony!"
