Chapter 180 Immortal General, Devil Lord, Golden Heaven Path
“The Great Zhou Dynasty has dispatched a troop with the Crown Prince as the leader to the Eastern REgion. Tian Ci has the potential to become immortal. He has returned and joined the Great Zhou Dynasty,” Xi Yao read the message that she received.
“Senior Liu Changkong from the Tianyuan School sent me this message,” Xi Yao said. “But why would the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly send their troops to the Eastern Region? The chaos has only ended for a short period, and they’re going to expand their territory? Are they not afraid of incurring the wrath from other Sacred Lands? We all know that Tian Ci has the potential to become immortal, but what does it mean that he has returned? Besides, did he join the Great Zhou Dynasty? But why? The Tianyuan School is a much better place to cultivate compared to the Dynasty.”
Xi Yao couldn’t understand it at all.
“I think we’re the reason they dispatched a troop to the Eastern Region.” Zi Linglong smiled. “As for Tian Ci, he obviously has betrayed the Tianyuan School and joined forces with the Great Zhou Dynasty to destroy us. As for what it means that he has returned, I guess they’re suspecting that he’s a reincarnator.” “Linglong is right!” Jiang Ming nodded and said, “This Liu Changkong is kind of interesting. He knows that our Jiuyang Sect holds a big secret, and it’s related to you, so he sent the message to Xi Yao instead, hoping that she could forward the message to us.”
It was no longer a secret that Xi Yao was with them.
“The Tianyuan School has always maintained a neutral stance. Besides, their foundation is far deeper than we can imagine,” Xi Yao said with a frown. “What I don’t understand now is why Tian Ci would choose to cultivate in the Great Zhou Dynasty instead of in the Tianyuan School. Why does the Great Zhou Dynasty want to attack you guys?”.
“Because I killed Zhou Tian and four Extreme Path experts,” Linglong said. “What!? You killed Zhou Tian and four Extreme Path experts!?” Xi Yao was shocked. “Linglong, since when did you become so strong? Even though I’m the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect and I’ve been cultivating here, I’m still only in the Primal Spirit Realm. But you… You killed four Extreme Path experts? Hold on for a second. Haven’t you been on the mountain the whole time? How did you kill them?”
“Look over there,” Linglong said as she nudged her chin.
Xi Yao jerked her head back and saw a human figure coming in their direction. She went through Chuyang Peak’s protective barrier and landed in the gazebo without any difficulties.
“Another Linglong?” Xi Yao was stunned but soon saw the light. “She’s your clone?”
“Long time no see, Xi Yao,” Spatial Linglong greeted her as she studied her from head to toe. “Why are you still a virgin? You haven’t made a move on my Senior Brother yet? You suck, Xi Yao.”
Xi Yao’s face turned red in embarrassment as she glared at her. She wanted to turn around and leave, but it would only give herself away if she did that.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming’s voice rang out. “Stop making fun of her. The army from the Great Zhou Dynasty is coming soon. Can you handle them?”
“Well, I can try,” Spatial Linglong said. “Can I really kill them all? After all, I was holding myself back when I was there. Since they have the guts to step into our territory, I don’t need to hold myself back anymore.” “Yeah, you can do whatever you want,” Jiang Ming said as he opened the Human Path Records to check Liu Changkong’s Status.
He learned why Tian Ci had joined the Great Zhou Dynasty from his Status.
‘He tried to kill the Elders from the Tianyuan School? He really has a lot of guts. Since he was able to reach the Imminent Immortal and the Extreme Path Realm, he must’ve awakened the Immortal Memory. If not, he wouldn’t have been so arrogant. But I have to say, the foundation of the Tianyuan School is truly incredible. It’s even deeper than I expected.’
Name: Tian Ci (Jun Tianci)
Race: Immortal
Gender: Male Cultivation Base: Imminent Immortal Realm.
Background: The reincarnated soul of the Immortal General from the Chenguang Immortal Mansion
Relationship: -67
Innate Talent: Immortal (Awakened Immortal Soul)
Status: After returning from the Eastern Region, he was assassinated and received a heavy blow. He went into seclusion to cultivate after returning to the Tianyuan School. He had comprehended the Light-and-Dark Dao and reached the Paradis Realm in the Chamber of Time. His broken soul was mended, and he awakened the memory of his immortal soul. After knowing the significance of his reincarnation, he learned that this world was special, and the big secret was hidden in the Eastern Region. However, he was too weak, so he did not do anything and focused on cultivation. It was only when he reached the Imminent Immortal Realm that he came out of his seclusion and learned about the changes in the outside world.
He was stunned at the news of a powerful being sabotaging the devil invasion in the Northern Region. He was certain that he must have stepped into the Immortal Realm, and he wondered who he was. After all, if he wanted to claim the Eastern Region, he must learn his identity. Therefore, he tried to convince the Elders of the Tianyuan School to do something about it. However, little did he expect that the Elders would reject him because they thought it was unnecessary to do that. Besides, they did not want to stir up any more commotion. Also, they had noticed his changes and wanted to investigate him.
Not intending to let them learn about his real identity, he tried to kill them and take control of the Tianyuan School but to no avail. After escaping from the Tianyuan School, he ran to the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he learned that four of the Extreme Path experts from the Great Zhou Dynasty had been killed, he had an idea and approached Emperor Zhou. He revealed himself as a reincarnated immortal and informed him that he was capable of showing him the Golden Heaven Path that could lead to the Immortal Realm. He also said that he came here to look for a sinful disciple who had run to the mortal world. The Tianyuan School had refused to offer him help, so he came to the Great Zhou Dynasty instead.
He offered them three slots in exchange for their help. He said that the sinner should be hiding in the Eastern Region and asked the Great Zhou Dynasty to look into it. After the Court of Elders had discussed amongst themselves, they decided to ask Emperor Zhou to send troops to the Eastern Region. Emperor Zhou then ordered the Crown Prince to lead the troops to the Eastern Region.
Jiang Ming fell silent.
‘His original name was Tian Ci, but now he called himself Jun Tianci? This is interesting. He even offered so many things in exchange for the Great Zhou Dynasty’s help, but I bet they didn’t believe him. The reason they decided to help is probably because of the Golden Heaven Path, right?’
Jiang Ming frowned as he thought.
It went without saying that a criminal from the immortal realm was nothing but a fraud. Tian Ci just wanted to look and get rid of him first so that no one would stand in his way as he revealed the secret of the Eastern Region.
‘What kind of secret is it? Could it be the secret chamber behind the sect door?’
Jiang Ming squinted his eyes and looked toward Taiyang Peak.
There was a spatial node, and the thing that was hidden within it was terrifying. He had once tried to go into it, but he forwent the attempt in the end when he sensed a chill down his spine that felt like death after getting closer to it.
‘I guess I should explore it after everything is over.’
The first thing he should do right now was to get rid of Tian Ci. After all, he was a reincarnated immortal soul.
‘Should I just try it?’ Jiang Ming thought, but he abandoned the idea very soon.
After all, it was not an exaggeration to say that Tian Ci was an immortal right now. He was completely unaware of his power, and he did not know what kind of immortal weapons he had up his sleeves.
It would be troublesome if he could not kill him in one strike.
Most importantly, he was becoming stronger and stronger every day. ‘Well, I guess I should let him live for some time. After all, he doesn’t know my real identity, and I’m able to keep an eye on him.’
Most importantly, he wanted to know the secret of the Eastern Region as well.
Meanwhile, at the Submerged Dragon Continent…
On a peak, the Devil Lord grabbed a ray of light. After reading the message, he smiled. ‘Interesting! The Great Zhou Dynasty has sent troops to the Eastern Region? Are they going to fight that person? It would be best if they could enrage that person. Then, he would wipe out all of the Sacred Lands on this world, exhaust their powers, and then I would destroy them all in one fell swoop!’
The Devil Lord stood up and looked at the land of Shenzhou beneath him with a serious expression dawning upon his face.
He was well aware of the situation over there.
‘There were many devils that scattered all over the land. All of them were very powerful and wielded different special abilities, but most of them are dead now. There’s only one explanation for this kind of situation. That person is able to notice us when we come into this world. That is also the reason I haven’t made any moves until now. However, it’s time for me to take action! I’m sure he won’t be able to take care of me while he’s dealing with the troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty.’
When the thought appeared in the Devil Lord’s head, a pitch-black portal appeared in his hand. There was nothing but darkness on the other side of the door, and it was filled with the aura of another world.
He tossed it into the air, and the portal landed in the middle of the mountains.
‘Once the Great Zhou army enters the Eastern Region, it will be my time to take action. But to be on the safe side, I should leave the Submerged Dragon Continent first.’
The Devil Lord turned around and vanished into the air.
On Chuyang Peak…
“Girl, the troops are arriving at the Eastern Region and Zhong Province intersection, so what are you still waiting for?” Jiang Ming said as he patted Spatial Linglong’s leg.
His eyes were closed.
“I’m hungry!” Spatial Linglong mumbled, “They should pay with their lives for making me starve!”
