Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

hoohoo!

Half an hour later, a dragon's roar suddenly reached Master Xuanguang's ears.

The void shattered, revealing a ferocious purple dragon head.

"A Mahayana divine beast?"

Master Xuanguang looked at the dragon's horn and the True Spirit's Reverse Scale, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Even among the bloodlines of Mahayana divine beasts, there are distinctions of superiority and inferiority.

True Dragons and Heavenly Phoenixes are undoubtedly among the best, their divine beast bloodlines so powerful that they can rival all other immortals.

These Mahayana divine beasts are already among the best. If they could obtain a celestial artifact that matches their own attributes, they could even surpass ordinary immortals.

"Roar!"

With a long, drawn-out dragon roar, the purple dragon head rapidly shrank, transforming into a long-bearded, purple-robed cultivator.

He landed in the Demon City and simply nodded to the Ancestor of Time Transformation.

Lady Sanxuan of the Demon Clan immediately went to greet her: "Senior Ziyuan's arrival is an honor to our humble abode..."

Although they were both Mahayana cultivators, she addressed them directly as "senior," and the other Mahayana cultivators didn't find it obsequious at all.

"Hmph... If it weren't for the Dragon Taming Clan's invitation out of courtesy, I wouldn't have come here to fight to the death with the monsters in the Fallen Immortal Valley..."

The Purple Dragon Emperor snorted coldly.

"Fallen Immortal Valley? Is that really the place?"

Another Mahayana cultivator from another race, clad in a multicolored feathered robe, asked in surprise, "Everyone... do you know anything about that person's background?"

With the secret realm of mountains and seas sealed off, they naturally searched high and low, employing numerous methods.

"This... Our clan consulted the Celestial Mystery Clan to divine the secrets of heaven, and they did glean some clues... That being came from the battlefield of gods and demons... Back then, many powerful beings in the True Immortal Realm fought fiercely, leading to the formation of the Fallen Immortal Valley, also known as the Valley of Fallen Immortals or the Valley of Immortal Slaughter... It subsequently became a desolate wasteland on the continent, burying countless powerful beings... And legend has it that in the deepest part of the Fallen Immortal Valley, a powerful being is sealed... He resides in a coffin, bound by nine chains..."

Lady Sanxuan of the Demon Clan spoke in a melodious voice.

"So... that person is really that powerful? Then what are we going there for, to die?"

Another giant, whose body was bronze and who was over ten meters tall, snorted coldly.

"Please calm down, everyone..."

At this moment, the silver-robed youth finally opened his eyes: "I am certain that that person is not a Celestial Lord! If it were truly a resurrected Celestial Lord, we wouldn't need to plot against him; we could simply kneel and beg for mercy..."

The progenitor of the Shi Tui lineage thought to himself: 'Of course... a mere remnant soul of an Immortal Lord, with many hidden dangers, is at most comparable to a powerful True Immortal...'

He began, "Furthermore... that strange being was attracted here by that 'True Lord Xuanming Runji'... If we knew the whereabouts of that True Lord, drawing them into a mutually destructive conflict might be a better strategy..."

"For some reason, these kinds of beings keep appearing in our Shan Hai Continent these past few years..."

Lady Sanxuan sighed.

The progenitor of the Time Transformation suddenly looked at the Venerable Xuan Guang: "When that True Monarch last manifested his presence, he was near the human territory... Now that the Mahayana cultivator of the Bone Pattern Sacred Clan is absent, I propose that his position as a great clan be revoked and taken over by the human race. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Our human race has limited resources and is unlikely to rule a region, so let's just forget about it..."

To become a great race in the spirit world!

Master Xuanguang was indeed very excited and thrilled... but he also understood the principle of eating only what one can handle.

Given the current state of the human race, even with two Mahayana cultivators, calling them a major race in the spirit realm would be far too laughable.

Unless... the young master himself joins the human race, then maybe!

"Has the human race recently discovered any trace of that banished immortal?"

The progenitor of Shi Tui spoke again.

Master Xuanguang felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that this was the other party's true purpose!

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Our small clans are probably beneath the notice of such powerful beings... Actually, I believe that the banished immortal must have also entered the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, which is why the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm has experienced this anomaly. Otherwise... how come nothing happened when the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm opened so many times before? Why did this problem only occur this time?"

"That's right, that makes sense."

Both Lady Sanxuan and Emperor Ziyuan nodded.

As for the progenitor of the Shi Tui clan?

It existed in the past, and each awakening required the Shituo clan to pay a huge price, and could only be carried out on a specific altar.

Therefore, although the 'past self' was able to escape from the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm after disbanding last time, it is very difficult to enter it again.

Unable to traverse secret realms and spirit worlds as easily as Fang Qing, they naturally cannot obtain much information.

At this moment, deep down, he also didn't believe that the True Lord had much to do with the weak human race.

Even if there is some connection, the power of such a small clan is certainly insignificant in the eyes of the other party.

Anyone hoping to use this to restrain anything is dreaming.

"Heh heh, your noble family already has two Mahayana cultivators... In my long observations over the course of time, once a small clan produces a Mahayana cultivator, it often marks the beginning of its rise. And if the number of Mahayana cultivators reaches two or more, it indicates that the clan has the capability to stably cultivate Mahayana cultivators... This is already the foundation of a great clan."

The progenitor of Shi Tui smiled, but Master Xuan Guang felt the gazes around him were icy and chilling.

"Alright... everyone, please take a look."

With a wave of his hand, the silver-robed youth unleashed a dazzling display of light that transformed into an endless star map.

The numerous brilliant stars swirled and moved according to a specific pattern, subtly communicating with a certain secret realm.

"This is... a void array diagram?"

"The Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas? The Shituo Clan is indeed hiding their true strength... They can actually locate such a celestial palace secret realm?"

All the Mahayana cultivators wore expressions of admiration.

"It was just something a junior did casually... Although we can now locate the void, there's another layer of blockage. It requires the combined efforts of many cultivators skilled in the Great Dao of the Void, and the activation of this 'Yuan Yan Demon City,' to have a 60% chance of breaking through..."

The silver-robed youth said calmly.

"Only 60%?"

A member of the Great Ascension Realm from a different race with illusory silver horns on his head stepped forward: "My Cave Spirit Clan is naturally skilled in the Dao of Void. After reaching the Great Ascension Realm, our comprehension of the Great Dao of the Void progresses by leaps and bounds... Add to that the Five-Colored Phoenix Clan and several fellow Daoists from the Human Race... and this immortal artifact of the Great Dao of the Void, and it's only sixty percent complete?"

"It is precisely because of this Nightmare Demon City that we have a 60% chance; otherwise, the chances would be less than 30%..."

The Time-Transformation Ancestor's eyes remained devoid of any emotion: "However, if we can find a Grand Void Immortal to assist us, the chances of success are at least 99%!"

"Where can one find immortals of the Great Void Dao?"

The Mahayana cultivator of the Dongling clan couldn't help but sneer.

The progenitor of the Shi Tui lineage sighed, "I do have someone in mind, but unfortunately... they won't cooperate with us. Alright, now that everyone is here, it's time to begin..."

"We have gathered here precisely to rescue our own clansmen, haven't we?"

A group of Mahayana practitioners echoed this sentiment.

Standing among the crowd, Master Xuanguang felt as insignificant as an ant.

To break through to the Mahayana stage, one's own aptitude, opportunities, talents, and cultivation techniques are all indispensable... Every Mahayana cultivator who grows up has stepped on countless corpses and encountered countless opportunities.

Not to mention that the powerful individuals among these super races could very well possess the foundation of a True Immortal.

In comparison, his barely attained the Mahayana stage through external forces is like a husky mixed into a wolf pack...

Rumble!

With the combined efforts of hundreds of Mahayana cultivators, the Yuanyan Demon City could be activated so powerfully that even True Immortals would flee in terror, and might not even be able to escape!

After all, among these cultivators, there are ruthless figures like the Purple Origin Dragon Emperor and the Ancestor of Time Transformation, not to mention countless others who are hiding their true abilities.

The Yuanyan Demon City drew upon the Great Dao of the Void, and in an instant, it seemed to transform into something infinitely large, or perhaps a point between Sumeru and the Void, before disappearing into the Void.

The surroundings were bizarre and distorted, making space itself seem warped.

The void storm dissipated completely upon landing at the edge of the demon city, causing virtually no damage.

"Here it comes... that person's methods!"

As the progenitor of Shi Tui gazed at the Mountain and Sea Void Map that had just been released, his expression suddenly shifted.

Stab it!

Around the Demon City, from within the bizarre and fantastical void, one after another, pitch-black and ferocious snake heads suddenly emerged.

The eight snake heads converged, spewing water, fire, and venom, resembling the legendary mythical beast, Xiangliu!

boom!

A jet-black snake head crashed onto the Demon City, causing Xuan Guang Shangren and the Dongling Clan Mahayana cultivator to turn pale and nearly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to hold back. Continue to unleash the power of the Void..."

Beside him, a black cloak opened, revealing a figure as short as a little girl, with a body entirely emerald green. With a wave of her hand, boundless vitality appeared, and Xuan Guang Shangren suddenly felt his injuries rapidly healing.

"Tsk tsk... The Flower Fairy Clan's 'Spring Return' technique is rumored to be traced back to a magical art..."

Beside him, a Mahayana cultivator murmured, "Having seen him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved..."

"A celestial beast? It seems so... It must be formed from a restriction, a manifestation of the Great Dao... Fellow Daoist, which of us should make the move?"

The progenitor of the Shi Tui lineage looked toward the Purple Yuan Dragon Emperor.

"Fellow Daoist is a senior, so I will make the first move... However, after this, unless I encounter that person again, I will never make a move again."

Zi Yuanlong Emperor stepped forward with a calm expression and extended his right hand.

His right hand was long, strong, and covered with a layer of purple dragon scales. He gently reached forward and grabbed.

Whizzing!

A purple dragon shape emerged, its surface covered with countless seal characters, which transformed into a giant dragon claw that grabbed the eight-headed Xiang Liu.

An extremely harsh friction sound rang out, but the eight-headed Xiangliu's fangs, water and fire... seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the dragon claw.

Then, the Purple Dragon Emperor formed hand seals, his eyes gleaming brightly, and he chanted incantations before spitting out a mouthful of purple fire.

The giant dragon claw immediately burst into flames, and intense purple flames instantly spread throughout the void!

"Good... This dragon fire already possesses the power of a celestial beast's natal fire, doesn't it?"

The progenitor of the Time Transformation exclaimed in admiration: "In terms of power, it is no less than the 'Immortal-Eating Flame' in my hand!"

Splash!

Under the scorching purple dragon fire, the scales of the jet-black willow tree became illusory, revealing the empty flesh and blood behind it...

The essence, blood, bone marrow... were all illusions. Only one after another, black chains with specks of rust fell into the void.

"Those kinds of celestial beasts would inevitably lead to any Mahayana cultivator being devoured if they encountered them... Yet... they're just a piece of iron chain?"

Master Xuanguang's eyes widened as he deeply understood the dangers of this journey.

The other Mahayana practitioners from various races stared in silence at the rusted, black iron chain: "It's unbelievable..."

"It's not a celestial artifact... yet its aura is somewhat strange..."

"This is... a coffin chain?!"

Lady Sanxuan of the Demon Clan couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh? What is a coffin chain?"

A Mahayana cultivator from the Five-Colored Phoenix Clan immediately spoke up to inquire. He appeared to be a man, but his voice was incredibly melodious, like that of a lark.
