Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 170 - Dan Yangzi

Chapter 170 - Dan Yangzi

“Hahaha! This is it!”

Dan Yangzi, who was standing amidst a scene of carnage, now grinned wildly. At this point, he had finally come to an understanding.

He had finally understood what that Senior in the heavens had said to him about killing the Three Corpses. He had always assumed that he had to turn Li Huowang into the Three Corpses, and then kill him. But his understanding had been incorrect.

Those seeking Immortality had to first eliminate the Three Corpses, be calm and without any desires, and possess a serene spirit.

As it turned out, there was no Li Huowang in this entire process—Li Huowang was just a part of his past, an inner demon, and a part of his Three Corpses.

It was because he was filled with mortal energy that he had prevented himself from becoming an Immortal. Now, he had completely become himself, meaning that one of the three corpses had been killed.

Back when he had taken the medicine was the moment that another corpse had been killed. That was precisely why he had become a half-Immortal.

Overjoyed, he laughed while using his blade to slaughter the remaining people; whenever he was happy, he wanted nothing more than to kill people.

While he did not know where the final corpse of his three corpses was, Dan Yangzi had a premonition that at this point was already capable of passing through the Southern Heavenly Gate.

The others in the cave were no match for Dan Yangzi. Soon,he was the only one still alive within the cave.

Dan Yangzi stopped and once again looked down at his youthful body before laughing out triumphantly, “Haha! I’m finally going to become a true Immortal!”

On the other hand, Monk watched him with an astonished expression on his face before gradually vanishing.

However, not long after, Dan Yangzi suppressed his joy; it was not yet time for him to be happy.

Without the support of the Five Elements Intercalation, this battered body without its five internal organs was about to collapse.

He could not afford to die now; first, he had to merge with his true body.

“Hmph! A mere inner demon wanted to ruin my path to Immortality? Now, I am an Immortal!” muttered Dan Yangzi.

Then, he took out the bronze bell in his possession and shook it quickly. Soon, the surroundings morphed into chaos and a few Wandering Gods appeared before him.

Dan Yangzi hummed his orders to them, and then they quickly flew away.

When they returned, they brought along a cinnabar brush, some yellow paper, a piece of wood, a lump of soil, a torch, a jug of water, and a golden ingot.

Dan Yangzi staggered over to the lifeless bodies on the ground and picked one of them for each of the elements—water, fire, earth, wood, and gold. Then, he lifted his sword and beheaded them.

After that, he opened the mouths of one of the dismembered heads before stuffing the golden ingot within. Then, he used some of the yellow paper to seal the mouth. Next, he held the cinnabar brush in his hand and quickly drew something on the yellow paper.

As soon as he finished the last stroke, the head suddenly emitted a creaking sound and began to shrink. Soon, its skin, hair, and facial features all fell away, until the head shrank down to less than half its original size.

At that point, Dan Yangzi picked up the head and stuffed it into his own chest.

Following the same procedure, the other four heads were also stuffed into Li Huowang’s empty chest, replacing the positions of the five organs.

When the last head occupied the position of the heart, Dan Yangzi nodded with satisfaction. While this sinister method that he had stolen from the Lion Dance Palace would not last long, it would suffice for now.

Satisfied, he took out the sacred text and gazed at it with mixed emotions. Even if he did not understand a single character on it, it was what had led him down the path of Immortality.

I wonder if I’ll still be able to meet that Immortal after passing through the Southern Heavenly Gate. If I do meet them, then I must sincerely express my gratitude.

After all, it was only because of his help that he would be able to enter the Southern Heavenly Gates and live as long as the heavens and earth.

“Fucking useless!”

This unexpected sound of someone cursing caused Dan Yangzi’s expression to freeze. He quickly turned toward the source of the voice, yet there was nobody there; everything continued to remain motionless.

“Who’s there?! Show yourself now, and I’ll leave your corpse intact if I’m feeling good!” Dan Yangzi’s enraged voice echoed through the large cave, but there was no response.

With a furious expression, Dan Yangzi snorted, picked up the sacred text and walked out of the cave.

The situation within the cave was very strange. The God of Happiness was not a friendly entity either, and it was best for him to leave this area first, and then find a quiet place to wait for his own body to return to him.

As long as he became a true Immortal at the end, everyone in this mortal world would be nothing more than an ant to him!

When Dan Yangzi came back to the battlefield, he found that the surroundings outside were extremely quiet.

He was the only person in the entire cave who was alive—the rest of them were all dead. Ao Jing Sect’s entire stronghold within these mountains had been completely wiped out.

“Baldy! Do you really think you can become an Immortal? How can a despicable wretch like you do it?”

Swish!

Hearing the voice, Dan Yangzi threw out his sword which stabbed firmly into the solid cave wall while trembling with a low hum.

Ring ring ring!

At this point, Dan Yangzi could no longer sit still, and decided to once again ring the bronze bell. Immediately, Wandering Gods appeared all around Dan Yangzi.

At his command, they all began to frantically search around for the person who had spoken previously.

But even after searching for fifteen minutes, the Wandering Gods, entities that could fly up high and through the ground, had still not found anyone. Even their search underground and within the walls didn’t yield any results.

“What’s going on? Could it be an ambush set by the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao?” Dan Yangzi was rather unsettled as he mumbled to himself while looking at his unfamiliar surroundings.

After two times, Dan Yangzi dared not let down his guard anymore. He pointed with the bell in his hand, and the Wandering Gods quickly flew out of the cave to find his true body.

Then, he raised his sword and waited on the spot.

After about thirty minutes, Dan Yangzi heard some commotion from outside. His heart leaped with joy as he quickly turned over to look.

However, he found that it was not his true body that had walked into the cave, but a strangely dressed woman. He had traveled extensively for many years and had seen all kinds of things, but he had never seen a woman dressed like this. Her clothes looked like they were made of silk, and she carried a peculiar rectangular box under her arm. Her hair was tied up in a bun.

She seemed to be around forty odd years of age, and had a round face, large eyes, short hair, and seemed a little tired.

Where is this person from? Was the person who cursed me just now her? Why did she come here at such a critical juncture? Is she one of my old enemies?

Just as Dan Yangzi was racking his brain, he saw the woman smile apologetically at him. “Son, we’re late because the hospital had to handle some paperwork. Your external injuries have almost completely healed, so your dad and I have found a new hospital for you.”

Right after she started speaking, Dan Yangzi noticed the bright cave around him collapsing rapidly and changing. Soon, the bright cave around him had turned completely white.

At the same time, he noticed that while he should have been standing inside the cave, objects were quickly piling up on his own body.
