Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 597 Immortal Heroes
The first half of the sentence already made her body tremble, and her spirit became even more weak.

It seems somewhat unbelievable; that's Mount Shu.
Xu Xuan then recounted how Mount Shu was destroyed, such as how the Blood Demon, acting as an inside agent, broke through the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Formation, and how the Ten Great Demons, along with their demon sons and grandsons, besieged the mountain gate.

Some time ago, the suspended mountain gate also fell from the sky, and flying swords and magical treasures all chose their own masters.

The nameless man took a while to process.

She had some suspicions when she was robbed, but the extent of the tragedy was still unexpected.

"I had a feeling it would be a pity from the moment I saw the Galaxy Sword."

"I originally set off from the East China Sea to aid Mount Shu."

Upon hearing that Xu Xuan was being sent to aid Shushan, one knew it was a tragedy.

Originally, the combined power of the demonic path far surpassed that of the righteous path. In the past, the righteous path maintained its advantage by using the demonic path to split up and recruit more people to encircle and erode the enemy in small areas.

Now, fate is not on our side, and the enemy has been united with the Old Demon of Youquan.

With top-tier celestial cultivators like Changmei secretly pulling the strings, the destruction of Mount Shu is now a foregone conclusion.

All the righteous and accomplished individuals who participated in it perished.

The workings of the heavens and the calculations involved here are enough to make even someone like the Holy Father feel a chill run down his spine.

After all, Changmei doesn't possess the qualities of a pure white lotus; she relies entirely on her profound understanding of the rise and fall of the Dao and her own talents to influence everything.

Those who participate in such a bloodbath are destined to perish.

Seeing the other person so sad, Xu Xuan also acted as a good person.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be too sad. The flame of Shu Mountain has been preserved."

"The fundamental cultivation method, the true edict, and many divine weapons have been recovered, and the sect can be re-established at any time."

"As long as the tradition continues, anything is possible."

Xu Xuan swore that he was really just trying to comfort the other person, after all, it was too tragic to see them about to be completely destroyed.

I absolutely had no intention of taking that jade bottle.

Then the small bottle and a ray of light fell into his hands.

"The monk is right, the transmission of knowledge is the most important thing."

"This magical artifact also contains cultivation techniques. I would appreciate it if you could help me find a suitable person to pass it on to."

Since the snake demon had already been taken care of, the nameless man was no longer anxious and answered many of Xu Xuan's questions from the air.

The nameless man was one of the disciples of Ji Xuan, the Sea Goddess of the North Sea.

Speaking of Jellyfish, she was quite a figure back in the day. She was a true cultivator from the North Sea who had long since ascended to the upper realm.

Several disciples were left behind to inherit the Daoist teachings, as those who cultivated the Dao of Water Element remained throughout the four seas, the most famous being the Crimson Cloud Palace in the North Sea.

However, the Beihai branch was wiped out by a great demon a few years ago, and it was Master Ruoxu of the Pure Land School who turned the tide.

They chased the demons all the way from the North Sea to the Southern Volcano, slaying countless monsters and avenging the Jellyfish Palace from a blood debt.

This is why she trusts the Pure Land School.

The nameless branch ended up in the Eastern Sea Immortal Abode.

Upon receiving a message from Master Miaoyi, he flew out of the East Sea to come and help, but was intercepted and killed by Jiupanpo on the way.

The Naked Cult Leader is a top-tier heretical master in the world, oscillating between good and evil. Normally, everyone keeps to themselves.

I don't know why I joined the Demonic Alliance this time.

Such masters would naturally be no match for an unknown person who intends to ambush them.

After a fierce battle, his physical body was shattered and even his soul was severely damaged. He desperately escaped and hid in Jiang Le County.

Jiupanpo was busy rushing to Shushan to participate in the final battle, so she enlightened a snake demon and cast a spell to search for her whereabouts with Yongling as the core.

Because her physical body and essence had fallen into the hands of the old demon, she was trapped by evil magic and could neither escape nor run away.

Xu Xuan felt particularly saddened upon hearing this; this man was truly full of passion, yet he ended up in such a state.

As for the sacrifice, it was purely the shaman's own decision after communicating with the spirits.

When she regained consciousness, nine girls had already been murdered, so she was naturally eager to have Li Ji take the lead and slay the demon.

Although one can only use this skill once before one's soul is destroyed, this is what a righteous person should do.

What a pure cultivator of Taoism!

Xu Xuan sighed, "Why must such a good person like you suffer this calamity? Even I can't save you now."

“Zen Master, there is no need to be sad. On the contrary, you should be wary of the matter at Mount Shu.”

"There must be something fishy about this devastating battle. There may be someone skilled in divination behind it all. Otherwise, even though I am not very capable, I would not have fallen into this trap."

Standing in the clouds, the holy monk hesitated for the first time.

Should we tell this dying person the truth? Wouldn't that be too cruel?

Or perhaps the other party noticed something and took the initiative to ask.

It's not unreasonable for someone to ask for the truth before they die.

"It's long eyebrows."

The opportunity for ascension has arrived.

After hearing this, the other party was clearly in a state of shock; no one could accept this fact.

Rushing to the aid of Mount Shu in such a perilous moment, only to be betrayed by the sect's founder. His death was utterly meaningless. It's only now, on the verge of death, that I can finally accept it. If I have the chance to be reincarnated, I will definitely find Long-Brow and hurl three or five divine thunderbolts at him.

Having reached this point, all one can do is sigh.

The scattered divine souls coalesced once more.

When asked by Xu Xuan if he ever regretted his actions, he replied that he did not.

"Since Brother Longbrow has fallen into demonic possession, then I am going to aid Master Miaoyi and the thousands of Shushan swordsmen."

"Unfortunately, his skills were insufficient, and he died and his cultivation vanished."

“Master, as the saying goes, when the world is governed by the Way, one should sacrifice oneself for the Way; when the world is not governed by the Way, one should sacrifice oneself for the Way.”

"We righteous people always have to do something."

Even on her deathbed, she did not abandon her awareness as a person of the righteous path.

The Father was startled by what he heard.

Only one sentence came to mind: This is the essence of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts).

There are immortals and heroes.

After recounting the story of Mount Shu, the other party began to explain his lineage.

The first thing left behind in the glimmer of light was the inherited cultivation technique—the Great Mysterious Heaven Chapter.

The cultivation method that can lead to immortality contains many essential techniques for cultivation, directly pointing to the celestial immortal position.

The jade bottle contained the Gui Water Thunder Pearl and the Yuan Gui Divine Sword.

The Yuan Gui Divine Sword was forged by the Jellyfish using profound and mysterious methods, beneath the 100,000-foot-deep icy spring of the North Sea Eye, by condensing the true essence of Gui water and the Great Yin Primordial Magnetic Force. When unleashed, its chilling light is overwhelming; even without touching the body, those with weak Daoist power will be instantly poisoned by its cold light within a hundred paces. Without a chance to retreat quickly, being struck or coming into contact with it will result in the cold poison attacking the heart and freezing the blood and marrow, causing the body to turn black and the person to faint, inevitably leading to death. Even the fiercest fire will be extinguished upon contact.

The Gui Water Thunder Pearl is a superior thunder technique of Gui Water Yin Thunder, and it is also a secret technique not passed down within the sect.

"Gui Water Yin Thunder? I have a friend who is also good at this method."

Xu Xuan took out a lightning ball and handed it over.

The nameless man stared at it for a long time. The restrictions within were both very special and familiar. Standing on the cloud, he began to reminisce about something.

"So you know Sister Bai too?"

"If you see her again, tell her that Min girl from the East Sea has passed away and cannot be seen again."

Xu Xuan's heart tightened; it was someone Bai Suzhen knew.

Oh, Long Eyebrows, you really deserve to die.

Finally, the nameless man asked to borrow the Galaxy Sword.

"This sword actually originated from the Jellyfish Palace."

"Before I die, I'll take one more demon with me."

Low-hanging, cold clouds filled the night sky, the stars shone brightly, and the fairy's figure was so ethereal that it was almost transparent.

The Milky Way Sword in her hand was unusually lively, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a clear sword sound, with the Milky Way patterns flowing endlessly.

He glanced down at the divine weapon in his hand, his fingers gently tracing the blade, his voice soft yet carrying an undeniable firmness: "Go!"

He suddenly raised his hand and hurled the Galaxy Sword into the sky.

The sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying the momentum of the Milky Way, and plummeted straight down.

Wherever the sword's edge struck, starlight rained down, as if the entire Milky Way had been stirred, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that struck the ground.

The moment the Galaxy Sword flew out, the illusory figure finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to slowly dissipate.

The armor transformed into specks of golden light and vanished with the wind; its form, like smoke and mist, gradually merged into the night sky.

"When the righteous path declines, evil rises; but the true path endures."

"Master, take care."

The cold clouds dispersed, the starlight reappeared, and a dazzling Milky Way seemed to appear in the night sky—her final trace.

It is:

Nine stars fall from the heavens, swords as cold as frost; the Milky Way pours down, shattering the vastness.

Golden armor stained with blood, clouds dissipate; jade bottle held empty, tears turn to light.

"Amitabha."

Even now, all that is known is that the other party's surname is Min; his full name and Taoist name are completely unknown.

She can't even set up a memorial tablet; what a carefree fairy!

The holy monk returned to the ground only after reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra once. Looking at the still-burning embers, he felt a deep emotion.

For him, the trip to Dongye County was also a form of spiritual practice.

He thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of humanity, and was absolutely certain of his understanding of human nature. In reality, he was given a harsh lesson by the realities of life.

It's possible that Prefect Zhou, one of their own, is a madman, or that the mastermind behind it all is a righteous cultivator who upholds the true path.

Reaching out, the Galaxy Sword flew back from the flames, still cold and clear in his hand.

Just like his mood.

Those who make great progress in their spiritual practice are not necessarily happy.
