Perfect Double Agent

At the summit of Longtou Mountain, a tall figure stood by a small lake. Her dark, golden dress was filled with celestial light, making her very eye-catching. But in front of her was a small, withered tree.

"Can't it be transplanted? Does it have to be practiced in that forest?"

The girl was puzzled. There was immortal essence here. Long-term absorption could not only strengthen immortal energy and physique, but also nourish the soul. It also had miraculous effects on plant life. However, the sacred wood she brought back could not survive.

"It seems I still have to take my junior brother to the Sage Tree Forest... I wonder where he went... He hasn't come back for so long..." The girl was very distressed, feeling like she was about to turn into a waiting stone.

But as she looked into the distance, she suddenly realized that her pet dog was also gone. For some time now, she had been letting it roam freely in Panlong Land. The dog was very well-behaved, staying only under the Bloodline Fruit Tree. And it had been there just a few days ago, but now it had disappeared.

However, she didn't care. The puppy was a senior brother, and his identity was probably extraordinary. Wu Tai would never say, and was extremely afraid of him. He was probably secretly taken away by some elder.

……

……

midnight.

The warship landed silently deep within the Immortal Academy, and two figures, one in front of the other, headed towards their respective cave dwellings.

This time, he reaped a great harvest, and even Bai Ye couldn't help but feel overjoyed. If he had anyone to share this with, it would definitely be the witch.

"I wonder how many fellow cultivators she's made and gotten along with. There must be quite a few," Bai Ye murmured. He always agreed that witches were good at dealing with people.

The night was as still as water, the Panlong land remained unchanged, surrounded by celestial light, the immortal mountain was bright, the scenery was naturally beautiful, and the rich essence of heaven and earth could be seen everywhere, but it lacked life and seemed to have less vitality.

Bai Ye raised his hand, and one after another, divine herbs flew out from his sleeve like small suns, running wildly. He even released the two small trees at the door, no longer choosing to confine them.

There's a powerful protective array here, so there's no need to worry about them escaping.

He himself, however, took a single step and silently arrived in front of the palace on Dragon Head Mountain, and then entered the palace.

Everything here was the same, except that a young girl was curled up on the bed in his side room. She seemed to be extremely insecure, tightly covering herself with the quilt, revealing her delicate and pretty face.

Bai Ye didn't wake her up. Instead, he took out the Five Immortal Origin Tree. Instantly, a special medicinal fragrance filled the entire hall. It was so rich and fragrant that, accompanied by dazzling five-colored immortal light, it woke up the girl on the bed.

"Junior brother?" The witch raised her head instantly, her eyes sparkling, not confused at all. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was pretending to be awake.

"Such a young and beautiful fairy... it must have been an entire era since we've seen one... young man, you're keeping a beauty hidden away..."

"Is this... a miracle drug? It's incredibly intelligent!" The witch stood up, scrutinizing it closely.

"The Five Immortal Source Tree, also known as the Five Elements Mother Tree, is a type of longevity elixir. It has a very wicked nature, and the outer formation cannot contain it. We'll have Panzi modify the Panlong Land later, and then there shouldn't be any problems. It will also save those elders from having to come in whenever they want," Bai Ye explained.

He had this idea a long time ago, but the materials were scarce. Now that he had the elixir of immortality that allowed him to fly and travel through the earth, this process had to be arranged.

"This is the first time I've ever seen an elixir of immortality. Is it really an elixir of immortality? We actually have an elixir of immortality one day? Am I dreaming?" The witch couldn't hide her surprise and kept circling the sapling, feeling that it was all too real.

In fact, even Bai Ye was experiencing this for the first time; he had never seen it before.

"Don't look at me with those country bumpkin eyes... People who don't know any better would think I'm raising two idiots who've never seen the world..."

"This..." The witch's face darkened, and with a clang, a small sword appeared in her hand. "Junior brother, help me hold it down, I'm going to chop it up and make a bed board."

In contrast, the Five Immortal Origin Tree remained calm and unperturbed, saying, "You can cut me down to make a coffin board, it's up to you... Wait, are you really going to cut me down!"

The old tree finally panicked and, with a strange cry, had a branch chopped off by the witch. The five-colored sap dripping from it was like concentrated immortal substance, making people want to suck it up.

Bai Ye just smiled at this. This old tree really needed to be disciplined; its temperament was too wicked.

However, he then awakened the Wheel of Reincarnation and discussed the matter with it.

"No need to set up a grand formation... just inscribe some immortal runes..." the Reincarnation Disc responded.

It was an unsettling night. In the end, even Taurus arrived, and together with the witch, they watched the divine medicine running all over the mountains, both looking completely dazed.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Bai Ye had overturned the immortal's herb garden.

Chapter 281 Holy Sacrifice

Three days passed in the blink of an eye; for cultivators, it was merely a short rest.

On this day, a figure flew from the depths of the Immortal Academy and landed at the entrance of Panlong Mountain. She was very eye-catching, with a blue dress, blue hair and blue eyes, surrounded by rich immortal light. She was tall and holy, like a real fairy.

"Little Celestial Abode? Are you sure it's not Little Celestial King's Abode?" The girl took a step forward, curiously looking at the stone tablet standing at the entrance, smiling brightly. Then she patted the small array on the stone tablet.

A moment later, a crack appeared in the great formation, and three figures emerged from it.

One was golden and gleaming, as strong as an iron tower, topped with two towering bull horns. A radiant light emanated from it, and it was draped in a black dress, both sacred and alluring. In contrast, the other was unusually blurry, with its face and figure obscured. It was hazy and ethereal, as if shrouded in endless mist.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister," Bai Ye said.

"Not really, I happen to be going to the Flying Immortal Land anyway." Lan Xian smiled faintly, her eyes constantly lingering on the witch, after all, that fairy gold dress was too eye-catching.

Even the witch was sizing up Lan Xian. This woman wasn't very old, but she was excessively beautiful, almost as beautiful as her, especially with that noble air that seemed to be innate, which was not something she had cultivated later in life.

"Who is she? You didn't even tell me about such an important thing as having a senior sister?" the witch transmitted her voice.

"The legitimate princess of the Longevity Family, a top seed of the Immortal Academy."

The witch felt incredibly tired. How long had it been? She already knew the legitimate princess of the Changsheng family, and they seemed quite familiar with each other. The princess's enthusiastic attitude was also hard to fathom.

Just like now.

"Those two should be close to reaching the standard of cultivating immortal energy, right? I do know some secret places, I'll take them there when the time comes." Lan Xian smiled at the witch, took the initiative to link arms with the witch, and acted as if they were old friends.

"That would be perfect." Bai Ye nodded, and then the group began to fly deeper into the Immortal Academy.

……

The Flying Immortal Land is an independent world created by True Immortals. Gods and above are not allowed to enter. Over the long years, many powerful ferocious beasts have long existed within it, along with a wealth of precious medicines and abundant fortune. There are even many inscriptions left by predecessors.

This is an ancient and vast world, like a fairyland, and it is very magnificent.

The mountains are majestic and imposing, with ancient trees reaching for the sky. Their grandeur exudes the vicissitudes of time, accompanied by the pervasive aura of primordial order, making one feel as if they have been transported to a primitive era.

Even in the sky, mirages appeared, reflecting on ancient lands one after another, which was quite mysterious.

"Is this the Immortal Ancient World...? I heard from the Second Elder that you get along very well with the others." Bai Ye looked around. The environment here was vastly different from the outside world. Not only was the energy of heaven and earth different, but even the rules were completely different.

"Yes, your senior sister is so kind, she's likable wherever she goes, and the senior brothers in the academy are so enthusiastic." The witch smiled, her smile very reserved, like a very well-mannered lady.

However, for some reason, the witch's emotions seemed very strange. As soon as she entered the Flying Immortal Land, her eyes kept glancing around.

"The Immortal Academy does not forbid fighting. If you make enemies in the future, you can mention your older sister's name, which will be of some use." Lan Xian smiled and took out her small jade platform, intending to teleport into the ancient land where the Sage Tree was located.

"No need, I've always been kind to others..."

However, just as she finished speaking, two long rainbows suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, seemingly heading towards the exit.

"Little Fairy?"

"It's her! I'd recognize her even if she were ashes!"

"She actually dared to enter the Flying Immortal Land! Last time, she and Yin Ling buried me underground for ten whole days, almost killing me. How dare she come here again?"

"Little fairy, offer your neck for slaughter!"

With a loud shout, a gleaming halberd came crashing down from several miles away. When magnified, it was extremely spectacular, like a celestial mountain falling from the sky to suppress the world.

At the same time, another person also made a move, shooting out an arrow that exuded a terrifying aura.

The witch's face immediately darkened, and with a clang, she drew her seven-colored sword from her sleeve. These two were too disrespectful; she had just said she was very enthusiastic, and now this enthusiasm had suddenly appeared—wasn't this a slap in the face?

Even Lan Xian had a dark expression. She had just said that people could say her name, but these two started fighting from several miles away. What did that mean?

Instead, Bai Ye reached out and held down the witch who wanted to kill someone, blocked Lan Xian who wanted to fly out, and took a step forward. With his movement, the whole world seemed to freeze.

The space and time rumbled, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens, magnificent and dreamlike, freezing the halberd, stopping the arrows, and even the two figures were no exception.

It was faintly visible that there were two teenagers, each with outstanding talent and extraordinary bearing, radiating extremely astonishing energy fluctuations. They stood in the sky, their expressions filled with surprise and doubt.

"Gentlemen, is there something you need?" Bai Ye asked, his figure still hidden, his attitude still quite friendly.

"No...no..." The two shook their heads, quickly retreated, and left without looking back, seemingly not intending to leave.

Even after running quite a distance, she was still shaken. "Was that blue figure Lan Xian? I was so focused on Little Fairy just now."

"Her face was obscured by celestial aura, but isn't Lan Xian someone who prefers to be alone? She probably wouldn't end up with Xiao Tian Xian, would she?"

The two were filled with doubt and suspicion. They observed for a long time before realizing that the others had already teleported away and had not taken them seriously.

"That white figure, could it be the Little Immortal King who's been making headlines lately?"

"Little Immortal King? Where did you get this information? I don't know anyone by that name. Are you sure it's not Little Heavenly King?" another person asked doubtfully.

"No, it is the Little Immortal King. The First Elder's attendant said it himself, so it should be true. I heard that the elders have discussed the Little Immortal King many times... This is going to be interesting, and most people will want to challenge him."

This is obvious. The Immortal Academy is divided into ordinary disciples and elite disciples. Although the total number is not large, the competition is always fierce. This is not only about resources, but also about face. Everyone is a genius among geniuses. If you want others to respect you, the first thing you need is strength.

……

"This is the Sacred Tree Forest. There are a few other places, but this one is the most effective. Are you sure you don't need me to guard it during the Sacred Ritual?" Lan Xian asked, standing outside a grove of golden, shimmering trees.

"No need. You take my senior sister and Taurus to the place of creation you mentioned. I'll go there after my holy sacrifice is successful." Bai Ye put his hands behind his back and stepped into the forest alone, exuding a powerful confidence in every move.

Sacred ritual is a very special realm, or even not a realm at all. Legend has it that without undergoing sacred ritual, it is impossible to live forever, and one may not even be able to break through the final barrier, thus failing to achieve immortality.

Only those who have stepped into the realm of sacred rituals can be considered true kings among gods, hence the most amazing people choose to take this step.

However, this realm is also very dangerous. Once you enter it, your realm will fluctuate wildly and be extremely unstable. When it is high, you can have the combat power of a celestial god. When it is low, you will fall directly to the Divine Fire Realm. If you cannot break through for a long time, you will never be able to break through and will fall into ruin.

The most severely affected person was directly knocked down from their original cultivation level, possibly even falling below the level of a Divine Fire Realm cultivator.

Such things have happened before, because those who dare to walk the sacred path are all exceptionally talented individuals. No one can guarantee absolute success; when things go wrong, even drinking water can cause problems.

Lan Xian left, taking the witch and Taurus with her, using her little jade platform to teleport. Bai Ye, on the other hand, walked deep into the golden forest and chose an open space to sit down cross-legged.

At the same time, he began to draw upon the essence within the Sacred Tree, a strange substance resembling firelight, a fragment of law, incomparably sacred. Upon its appearance, it engulfed him, tempering him.

This kind of tempering is very strange. It not only tempers his physical body, but also refines his methods and Tao. Even his primordial spirit and immortal energy are not spared. It is extremely comprehensive.

But at that moment, for some unknown reason, a series of chilling sobs emanated from the woods.

A blood-red mist appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by one broken and frozen scene after another. The eeriness of the scene was enough to send chills down one's spine.

This is very strange. According to rumors, many incomprehensible things happen during the holy festival. Some people see a mysterious ancient road, and disappear after stepping on it. Others feel themselves ascending, and then their whole body explodes after ascending into the air.

Some people seemed to be called, and after responding, they suddenly died, with black blood flowing from their seven orifices.

He had only just begun, yet he had already encountered this situation.

Chapter 282 The Future

More than ten days passed, and the forest returned to silence. The Dao principles that seemed like flames disappeared, and only a white-robed creature sat quietly in the entire forest, comprehending its own changes.
