Just as you were wondering what was going on, the auras of the several Nascent Soul cultivators standing before you vanished instantly.

A rain of blood suddenly appeared before you.

No one expected the Celestial Master to act so decisively.

[Leaving absolutely no room for compromise.]

From the moment the chaotic battle began, the situation was completely one-sided.

No one could withstand three moves from the Celestial Master.

Even if the opponent had reached the Nascent Soul stage, they still couldn't survive the Celestial Master's sword.

In the short span of half an incense stick's time, the Celestial Master managed to kill half of the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been surrounding the mountain and exerting pressure.

As for the remaining half, they were also injured to varying degrees.

At this moment, all was silent.

When the group surrounding the mountain looked at the Celestial Master again, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.

【Your choice:】

【1. Go all in, wipe them out completely. (This option will grant you reputation, which may affect subsequent plot developments.)】

[2. Let them live, but charge interest. (This option offers a profit and may affect the subsequent developments.)]

[3. Personal intervention, 2 attempt remaining.]

"Reputation? Profit?"

Could all of these factors potentially influence the plot's direction?

If they kill that person, Longhu Mountain's reputation will be unparalleled for a time.

It will most likely be a bad reputation.

If something were to happen to the Celestial Master, Longhu Mountain would be unable to produce another person of unparalleled talent in the present era.

They might be the ones to settle scores with them.

We could just let them go; they wouldn't remember any favors they'd received from Longhu Mountain. They might even be hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to launch a major attack on Longhu Mountain.

Su Chen considered it for a long time.

Choose 2!

[You and the Taoist priest work together, one playing the bad cop, the other the good cop.]

Release the remaining Nascent Souls.

[However, you also forced them to swear an oath with their Dao hearts that if something similar happened again, their Dao hearts would collapse and their path forward would be cut off.]

Before they left, you left behind all the storage artifacts they carried.

This is punishment for their siege of Longhu Mountain.

As the overall balance of power gradually stabilized, the world seemed to finally enter a brief period of tranquility.

Aside from researching new things, you spend most of your time thinking about how to purify the suppressed beings.

What you didn't expect was that after that battle, the Celestial Master's health deteriorated rapidly.

Despite your efforts to acquire numerous miraculous elixirs, the Celestial Master's decline could not be halted.

In just six months, the once spirited and vigorous Celestial Master had become a decrepit old man, resembling an ordinary old man.

"I have reinforced the power of the seal to its limit."

The real way to take control has been handed over to you.

You don't need to worry about anything else; I've taken care of everything.

The Celestial Master lay on the bed, his whole body emaciated, even breathing was difficult.

"After I die, you must burn my body completely. I always feel that things may not end so simply."

Daosheng looked at the Celestial Master with tears in his eyes. His time was coming to an end, and no matter what he did, he could hardly prolong his life.

It's unacceptable, but we have no choice but to accept it.

"You came?"

As soon as the Celestial Master finished speaking, another figure appeared behind Dao Sheng, none other than Lu Wuyai.

"I've searched all the locations you mentioned, but I didn't find anything."

I'll keep an eye on it.

As the foremost figure of his time, the Celestial Master's perception of this world was far more acute than that of others.

The appearance of that monster, which was neither human nor inhuman, was truly strange; it seemed to be something that did not originate from this world.

Although the Celestial Master had already told Lu Wuyai the whole way to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But to actually take that step, the right opportunity is still needed.

Whether there are other worlds beyond this heaven and earth, no one has ever truly seen them with their own eyes.

If those creatures really came from beyond the realm, does it mean that their world has been exposed to danger?

No one can answer these questions.

"Child, don't cry."

The Celestial Master gently wiped away the tears on his disciple's face.

"Your achievements have long surpassed mine. Whether there are heavens beyond heavens, only you can tell for your master."

If anyone can truly protect this world, it can only be you.

Even Lu Wuyai wouldn't do.

Dao Sheng underwent two tribulations of lightning, each time involving nine bolts of lightning.

Even when the Celestial Master was promoted, there wasn't such a big commotion.

Even compared to those legendary geniuses, Daosheng is by no means inferior.

Once perfected, it will be far more powerful than the Celestial Master.

If the Celestial Master's guesses are correct, then everyone will face an unprecedented catastrophe.

After the Celestial Master finished speaking, he fell silent.

The Celestial Master's time has come; the entire Longhu Mountain is draped in white mourning clothes.

All the sects in the land came to offer their condolences.

[Following the Celestial Master's dying words, you cremated his remains, leaving only a handful of ashes, and buried them in the best vantage point on Mount Longhu.]

In your grief, you didn't notice that the seal belonging to the Celestial Master within the bracelet had vanished.

By the time you discover the seal has malfunctioned, the suppressed entity has already vanished without a trace.

You are trying to mobilize resources from all sides to find the other party.

However, the other party vanished without a trace, like a stream flowing into the sea.

You feel remorse.

Just as you're racking your brains, trying to salvage the situation, a familiar figure appears before you.

[Celestial Master!]

[You never expected that, despite your and Lu Wuyai's joint surveillance, the other party would be able to steal the Celestial Master's corpse without anyone noticing.]

What you burned was a false shell!

[The familiar moves, the voice, and the very gestures.]

Everyone's telling you that this seems to be your former master.

But deep down you know that bastard is back!

【Your choice:】

【1. Fight to the end. (This option has a certain chance of failure.)】

2. Negotiate indirectly. (This option has a chance of allowing the other party to escape.)

3. Join forces. (This option has a chance of leading to a desperate situation.)

[4. Personal intervention, 2 attempt remaining.]

Choose 3!

While you are engaged in battle with the enemy, request assistance from Lu Wuyai.

Fortunately, the opponent was not far from Longhu Mountain, and after joining the battle, they immediately suppressed the "Celestial Master".

[The Celestial Master actually made two preparations back then; he had a premonition, but he didn't tell you about them, instead informing Lu Wuyai entirely.]

[If anything unexpected were to happen, Lu Wuyai had a foolproof plan to deal with it.]

What the opponent didn't expect was that what was supposed to be a triumphant battle would gradually push him into a corner.

[The enemy intends to withdraw from the battle, but you and Lu Wuyai have already laid a trap.]

Even the corpse of the Celestial Master was silently contributing its power.

This is probably the last time the Celestial Master will help you.

With their combined forces, the other side had nowhere to escape.

[You are using lightning magic as a foundation to gradually erode the opponent's body, attempting to obliterate them.]

Under the thunderous force, the opponent encountered obstacles at every turn and was unable to retaliate.

Just as your opponent's aura was waning and you thought you were about to succeed, they suddenly unleashed a violent burst of power.

Even if you take precautions, you still can't defend against it.

[The other party has chosen to take their own life here!]

You feel no relief whatsoever, because the other person's death is merely the beginning.

Where he died, a hole stained with fragmented energy appeared.
