Perfect Double Agent

Chapter 154 Why was I born in the past?

It was an indescribable night, far too exciting.

The little devil took the initiative to ambush the successor of the Immortal Palace. Although he missed, he killed the first generation Jin Lie.

However, now Zhen Gu has also appeared, seemingly for the sake of the little devil.

This is the first generation; their actions are unpredictable, and normal people simply cannot understand their thinking.

Some are arrogant, some are proud and complacent, and some are flamboyant and haughty, but some are calm and composed. Their unparalleled talent destined them to stand above countless others and dominate the entire state from birth. However, the struggle for supremacy among the first generation is also cruel. Once they fight with all their might, only one will survive.

However, this era is too special. It is only seven or eight years away from the opening of the Immortal Ancient Era. Most of the first generation are lying low or seeking opportunities to strengthen their foundation. There are very few people who clash with each other. Even if there are grudges, they will try their best to hold back and wait to resolve them after entering the Immortal Ancient Era.

"Heaven has bestowed upon me an invincible spear to accompany me throughout my life. If it is a gift, why should there be anything superfluous..." Zhen Gu stopped a thousand miles away, his gaze extremely solemn, staring straight at the person in the distant sky.

“Fellow Daoist, let’s settle this once and for all. We must determine who is superior. If you win, you will carry on my glory and live on. If I win, I will carry on your glory and live on, and together we will conquer the Immortal Ancient Realm.”

“What you said makes a lot of sense.” Bai Ye raised his arm, golden light surging on his right arm, and aimed directly at Zhen Gu.

Zhen Gu also raised his hand, the blood-red spear in his hand emitting endless sharpness, as if it had absorbed all of his essence and spirit, its sharp aura astonishing the world.

"A single move decides life or death... Is it really that cruel!" Everyone gasped, even those thousands of miles away felt their bodies tremble and cold sweat instantly break out on their backs.

The oppressive atmosphere of that day was so intense that it made it hard for them to breathe. Even one of the old servants in the late stage of the Divine Fire realm was no exception. He clenched his fists tightly, his body was tense, and his eyes were wide open. Even though sweat kept sliding down his forehead, he didn't dare to blink.

But at that very moment, two incredibly intense beams of light shot out, one a tragic crimson, staining half the sky with blood.

A sacred and vast aura, with boundless energy and an immortal Daoist spirit, surged across the heavens and the earth, sweeping across the grasslands!

They were so fast, like two beams of light that had broken free of their restraints, that they collided in an instant, producing a tremendous roar that seemed to deafen the heavens and earth.

The crimson light radiated outwards, dazzling and blinding, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes; only a raging crimson storm seemed to bloom in their minds.

"Who won... Zhen Gu? Or the little devil?"

No one knew, and no one dared to approach that area. The destructive storm was too terrifying; even if divine fire entered, it would most likely meet with disaster.

But a moment later, when the light faded, people discovered that the land was riddled with holes and had two long ravines.

One path is about two hundred miles long, crimson like blood, and still retains a terrifying sharpness, while the other path is about eight hundred miles long, retaining a sacred and vast aura.

"This……"

The group suddenly shuddered, looking at the end of the crimson ravine, where a man stood upright on the ground, his body cracked like a piece of porcelain about to shatter, even the golden wings on his back were like that, as if they had been shattered by an indescribable and terrifying force.

However, a transparent blood hole appeared at the position of his eye between his eyebrows.

"Young Master!!!"

The old servant of the Divine Fire roared and rushed toward the lifeless corpse as if he had gone mad.

Even the others couldn't help but feel a little downcast. "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand," and every supreme expert treads on countless corpses.

Zhen Gu was actually very powerful, definitely ranking within the top 100 in this era. He possessed the bloodline of the Golden Spirit Clan, divine eyes, wings, and the Crimson Blood Spear, each of which was a powerful innate weapon. Yet, he was no match for the little devil's single spear thrust.

Especially the two deep ravines that remain show how unfathomable the little devil is.

On the surface, it seems that a little devil can be equivalent to four Zhen Gu, but combat power is not calculated in that way. Even if he is slightly better, it is a qualitative difference, not to mention a full four times. Even the successor of the Immortal Palace cannot do this.

"Among the Venerables, no one can withstand that shot..." A soft sigh rang out, echoing between heaven and earth.

It was a golden rune that floated out of Zhen Gu's body. Through the dense patterns of the Great Dao, one could vaguely see a face that resembled Zhen Gu.

“Young Master…” The old servant seemed to remember something, and his face lit up with joy.

“He discovered it… but he didn’t continue to kill me…” Zhen Gu emerged from the golden talisman, gazing into the distance, his eyes filled with memories.

It was as if he saw once again an invincible spear radiating an immortal aura, sweeping away everything in its path and instantly piercing through the blood spear that had gathered all his essence and spirit, heading straight for his head.

If it weren't for the life-saving treasure within his body swallowing his primordial spirit at the critical moment, he would definitely have died.

"Young Master...your health..." the old servant whispered, bringing Zhen Gu back to his senses.

However, the old servant was gratified that his young master was not discouraged, nor did he lose confidence.

"I need to repair my physical body for now. Go to Fufeng City and spread the news about Burial Immortal Valley. Di Chong's true form must be there. He should be looking for Di Chong." Zhen Gu withdrew his gaze and transmitted his voice to the old servant.

"Are we really going to spread this word?" The old servant asked in surprise. That place was a forbidden land, not located on the surface, but in the underground world, and it was suspected to be related to the medicinal fields of an ancient sect in the Fire State.

However, that great sect gradually declined after its leader died in the no-man's land, and was eventually dismantled by other forces. Part of it was divided up, and part was buried in the endless underground. Teng Yi of the Fire Gold Clan and the successor of the Immortal Palace are suspected of searching for that medicinal field underground.

At this moment, Bai Ye was indeed searching for Di Chong, but he changed course midway and headed towards the Crimson Sun Forbidden Zone.

The old demon is still in that area, and he certainly won't do anything good, but he hopes the old demon will go to the Three Thousand Provinces to find the lair of the remnant immortals.

After all, those are four destabilizing factors. Once he formally becomes enemies with the Immortal Palace and Sword Valley, it will inevitably attract attention, although the possibility of the remnant immortal waking up is not high.

However, this is also why he spared Zhen Gu's life.

Zhen Gu has good talent. In the original work, he is similar to Feng Wu in that he successfully survived the Immortal Ancient Era and entered the Nine Heavens Academy.

If he goes to the Nine Heavens in the future and someone suspects him because of the King's Spear, he can use Zhen Gu's Blood-Red Spear to cover it up.

If blood clots can be turned into spears, why can't my skin mutations?

However, after the ninth day, the King Spear would certainly no longer be able to be used openly.

Chapter 155 The Storm Begins

That night, the entire city of Fufeng was in an uproar, with all sorts of news flying around like wildfire.

The Little Demon King single-handedly ventured deep into the grasslands, ambushed the successor of the Immortal Palace, refined Jin Lie, and stabbed Zhen Gu with his spear—his ferocity was breathtaking.

This is rare. After not manifesting in the upper realm for two years, it immediately caused trouble for two of the first generation upon its reappearance, which has made countless people uneasy.

In particular, the Little Demon King's real age is suspected to be less than fourteen years old, yet he managed to defeat a Perfected Venerable while only at the late stage of the Venerable realm.

However, equally astonishingly, someone spread the news that a Valley of Burial Immortals had appeared in the eastern region.

Burial Valley is an ancient ruin related to the destroyed Divine Medicine Palace. When that great sect was destroyed, Burial Valley disappeared and was never found by anyone else.

A prominent figure once said that it was a burial ground for immortals, similar to the Heavenly Immortal Academy, where an immortal corpse was sealed inside. The Heavenly Immortal Academy used the immortal corpse and divine medicine to create immortal elixir to cultivate its disciples.

The Divine Medicine Palace used the immortal corpse to create a medicinal valley, where many precious herbs were planted, including divine medicines. There are even rumors that there may be an elixir of immortality.

No one knows whether it's true or not, but when the Divine Medicine Palace was divided up back then, two divine herbs were indeed taken away.

The news caused a sensation as soon as it was released, exciting countless people.

The Fire Continent is full of opportunities, and that's no exaggeration. Celestial gold, precious fire, divine mines, and ancient ruins—each one is enough to get your blood pumping.

“Young Master… by doing this, we are making enemies of the Immortal Palace disciples…” An old man and a young man stood on the city wall, watching the crowd pouring out, remaining silent for a long time.

"Is that Zhen Gu... the second-best spearman in the world!"

"It's him! Run! That's the terrifying gun god, second only to the Little Demon King. He wields an almost invincible blood-red spear; whoever he stabs will get pregnant!"

"I……"

On the city wall, Zhen Gu's face was extremely dark. Even though he was usually very composed, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling. What the hell? Whoever he stabbed would get pregnant. These two dog-headed monsters dared to spout nonsense at him. In the past, who wouldn't have been in awe of him?

"Young Master, please calm down, it's not that bad..." The old servant lowered his head. This was too much of a blow. Don't be fooled by his young master's usual taciturn nature; his pride was higher than the sky. However, that pride was pierced by a boy named Bai Ye last night.

Zhen Gu took a deep breath, regaining his composure. "Has the little devil not shown himself yet?"

"No, he seems to have disappeared. However, some people say that Li Yuncong and Shandianzi crossed over from Kunzhou, along with Taotie and the young master of the White Tiger Clan."

“Has it disappeared…” Zhen Gu gazed into the distance, then moved and headed east.

He certainly didn't disappear. At this moment, Bai Ye was not in the Burial Immortal Valley, but standing inside a mountain of white bones.

At the same time, a tall figure stood in front of him.

The towering body, over three meters tall, was in much better condition than before. The stench of decay had long since dissipated, and even the numerous pieces of flesh that were about to fall off had disappeared, replaced by fine lines like cracks in porcelain.

Bai Ye guessed that Pu Laomo must have swallowed the remnant body of a celestial king from the lower realm, and his body had been greatly repaired.

"I need to go into seclusion for a period of time, about three to five years. During this time, you should improve your cultivation as much as possible. When I emerge from seclusion, I will take you to slay immortals!"

"Yes, sir." Bai Ye nodded without asking any questions. As expected, the old demon should have cleaned this place up.

But just as he was about to leave, three things were sent over by the Demon King Pu: two globs of golden liquid, only the size of a thumb, yet as dazzling as two small suns, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes at all.

"You and Pudu each take one drop. Unless there's a life-or-death crisis, don't bother me..."

With his hands behind his back, Pu Mowang walked toward the ancient coffin made of World Stone.

Clearly, although Old Demon Pu is ruthless, he is still good to his own people, and he takes good care of both Pu Du and himself.

Bai Ye nodded, put away the two drops of Immortal King's blood and a soul seed, and turned to leave the ruins.

It's a good thing that the old demon is in seclusion; he doesn't like having an old monster lying on his arm all day that can probe him.

Now, there are still about seven or eight years until the final opening of the Immortal Ancient Realm. He can wait three to five years.

……

……

The earth was silent, and the seal of the Crimson Sun Forbidden Zone remained intact, but thousands of miles away, beneath the earth, two figures were stealthily approaching.

They were dressed in uniform black iron armor, exuding a thick aura of death, like two lifeless, emaciated corpses.

"The divine child went to the burial ground of immortals. Are there really immortal corpses there?"

"Who knows? But there are definitely demonic corpses in the Crimson Sun Secret Realm." The two were cautious yet bold as they headed towards a ten-foot-long crack in the ground.

But at that moment, a chaotic figure suddenly appeared from the underground crack, silent and without any disturbance.

However, a calm, chaotic figure startled the two of them.

"You little devil!"

"Netherworld?"

Their eyes met, and they all saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"go!"

The two turned to flee, but the chaotic figure pounced on them.

"You little devil, do you want to be my Netherworld Clan's mortal enemy?!"

The chaotic figure remained silent, its hand resembling a dragon's claw, its surface covered with fine scales like dragon scales, each scale formed from dragon-shaped runes. The moment it reached out, the pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.
