Chapter 70 - 65 Almost Immortal? A Snap of the Fingers Away_1
The Battle of the Southern Territory!
In the grand hall, everyone’s face became stern!
No one expected that the tense situation that had swords drawn and bows bent would be defused in an instant!
“That’s better, avoiding a battle among Almost Immortals is good for the entire Xuantian Realm.”
“Indeed, if four Almost Immortals started fighting, who knows how many cultivators would be implicated…”
“The four domains still have the advantage; among the younger generation, the geniuses of the Southern Territory are certainly no match for those of the four major domains!”
For a moment, everyone started speaking up.
They all seemed to agree with this proposition.
“Hehe, good, in three days, right here, let you barbarians of the Southern Territory see what, exactly, true geniuses are!”
Cao Yijian spoke icily. After finishing, he waved his sleeve grandly and turned to leave.
“I hope the younger generation of the Southern Territory will not disappoint me.”
The Luofu Holy Master also spoke indifferently, then departed.
The people from the other powers didn’t stay either.
“Let’s go, hurry back to the Sect Gate. Pick out the strongest prodigy; in three days, they will represent the Sect in battle!”
“Right, as long as we get good results in this battle of the younger generation, the Sect will gain more resources in the Southern Territory.”
“Hehe, this time, those geniuses of our Sect are going to shine brightly…”
Outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a series of Yu Kong Flying Ships continuously took off.
All the major powers had left.
“Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling’er, the Divine Maiden,”
After everyone left, Yuanyang and Ling Chao turned to look at Mu Qianning and the other.
“The Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect came threateningly, clearly ready to engage in a big battle. But when you two stood up, their attitudes instantly shifted, seeming too strange!”
“I think, maybe they saw something in the two of you, felt intimidated, and that’s why they took a step back.”
The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke solemnly, “I suspect, behind them, there might be someone else manipulating the situation!”
Being Saint Masters, they naturally could sense the oddity in it.
“Right, and I’m sure that when they first arrived in the Southern Territory, both the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian had not reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm. In less than a month, how could they have advanced so quickly? There must be someone supporting them from behind!”
Ling Chao also chimed in.
They had all received favors from Senior Li to cross that chasm and they deeply understood how difficult it was to advance from Supreme to Almost Immortal.
There must be something fishy about the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian.
Fire Spirit nodded and said, “Qian Ning, perhaps we should report this matter to Senior Li.”
Mu Qianning said, “I’ll go inform Senior Li right away!”
The Luofu Holy Land.
In the secret chamber.
“Master, we were ready to take down the Southern Territory in one battle. Why did you…”
The Luofu Holy Master cautiously inquired, with a trace of confusion on his face.
They had clearly had the upper hand, and even though the appearance of two Almost Immortals was beyond their expectations, with the support of the major Sects from the four domains, they were still confident in taking down the Southern Territory!
Upon hearing this, the man in the linen clothes in front of him looked at him coldly and said, “You also have the right to question my decision?”
Upon hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately knelt down, saying in a rush, “How dare l!”
The man before him was a True Immortal, after all; even a single glance could reduce the Luofu Holy Master to ashes!
“Hmph! There’s no harm telling you. On those two girls, I sensed Immortal Treasures that surpass the True Immortal grade!”
Hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master’s face changed dramatically!
Treasures that surpassed the True Immortal grade!
Did that not mean that behind the Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, there truly stood a being that surpassed True Immortal?
If that were the case, weren’t they just courting death?
“But you don’t need to worry, even if a Profound Immortal were to come, it wouldn’t change a thing!”
The man in linen spoke coldly, “Hurry up and find the best disciples from your Sect for me. I will make them invincible in the shortest time possible!”
Since they wanted to probe the existence behind Taiyan Holy Land and the others through this competition of the younger generation, they certainly needed to make an effort to ensure the talents of the Luofu Holy Land had the strength to force the other side’s hand…
Hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master took a deep breath and said, “Yes! I’ll go find them right away!”
No matter what, having come this far, there was no turning back.
And for the juniors of the Sect to be able to receive guidance from a True Immortal was a tremendous fortune for the entire Luofu Holy Land!
The Divine Sword Sect.
“These three good-for-nothings are the best disciples of the Divine Sword Sect?”
Luo Ming looked at the three young people in front of him with disdain.
Two men and a woman, they were the strongest seed-level figures of the Divine Sword Sect.
Hearing Luo Ming’s scornful words, the three’s faces looked extremely ugly, but they dared not show disrespect because the Sect Master had said that this person was now the master of their entire Divine Sword Sect.
They knew very well that the Sect Master’s advancement to Almost Immortal was largely thanks to this person…
Cao Yijian hastily said with a greasy smile, “Master, though they are all useless, I believe that under your guidance, they will inevitably become invincible in this event! Sweeping through the entire Southern Territory! No, the entire Xuantian Realm!”
Luo Ming snorted coldly and said, “At least you know your place.”
After speaking, he looked at the three young people and said, “Kneel down, I will impart to you the peerless Immortal Techniques!”
“Cao Shuang, Xia Tong, Zhang Dujian, why aren’t you kneeling down quickly, to listen to the Master’s teachings?!”
Cao Yijian urgently chastised even more.
All three young people knelt down instantaneously, while Luo Ming took a step forward, extended his hand, and suddenly, tangible golden runes emitted from his palm, turning into three streams of light that entered the minds of the three!
At this moment.
In a tranquil little mountain village, Li Fan was basking in the sun in the courtyard.
Several days had passed, and not another person had come to become a disciple.
This left Li Fan feeling quite bored.
He was still eight disciples short of the ten required by the system.
When would that ever be completed?
In his free time these days, he would teach his disciples or sit with a cup of tea, listen to a tune, and peacefully pass the days.
How carefree.
After days of feasting on Holy Medicine, Lu Rang was now robust enough to wield a hoe, and his cultivation level soared once more!
With every meal, a terrifying surge of Immortal Spirit Qi would enter his body, and the subsequent farming would help him refine the expanding Spiritual Energy. In just a few days, he had reached the Hollow Void Realm and was about to enter Mahayana!
“With my master here, the shackles between realms seem like they don’t exist…”
Lu Rang once again struggled to lift his hoe, dripping with sweat but filled with happiness.
On another side, Long Zixuan also made rapid progress. He was already in the Mahayana Realm, his Dragon Soul becoming ever more perfect and powerful, transforming every day!
The time he could spend observing the koi swimming had also increased a bit.
“I must work hard to catch up with my two older fellow disciples as soon as possible…” he muttered to himself, then took a deep breath and continued watching the koi.
Elsewhere, Nan Feng, like a stunning beauty from a fallen kingdom, produced a graceful and airy melody on her instrument, wholly immersed in it. Under Li Fan’s continuous guidance, she had escaped the constraints of technique and achieved a kind of spiritual charm!
However, at this moment, Nan Feng, while playing, gradually fell into a state of confusion.
She felt that her melody had turned into a light kite, soaring with her towards the heavens above…
She seemed to see endless Immortal Palaces in the clouds, Immortals who lived forever without aging, and a complex interplay of light and shadow…
But at the same time, she was lost.
Where am I?
Which way should I go?
How should I proceed, what should I do?
When she looked back, she could not see the road she had come.
In front of her, the Heavenly Palace was magnificent and solemn, seemingly within reach if she wished to enter and enjoy everything within…
But there was a panic in her heart, a deep confusion.
Like a child drowning.
At this moment.
In the courtyard, suddenly, Zi Ling who was painting, Lu Rang who was hoeing, and Long Zixuan who was watching the fish, all turned their heads to look at Nan Feng!
They saw that Nan Feng, with her eyes tightly closed and her fingers plucking the strings, emitted waves of Immortal Charm from the instrument…
“Did older sister touch the Immortal Path?”
Long Zixuan exclaimed in shock.
“Is sister Nan Feng about to make a breakthrough?” Zi Ling also opened her mouth in surprise.
They all felt it, Nan Feng was in a mystical realm at this moment!
By the side, Li Fan, listening to her melody, found it very pleasant to the ear, but sensed a trace of discordance.
He immediately lightly tapped the stone table with his finger, precisely aligning with the tune under Nan Feng’s fingers.
Gently guiding, he brought Nan Feng back to the correct melody.
As his finger touched the stone table in that instant.
Nan Feng, who was in a state of confusion and helpless in the Immortal Path, saw the mist before her eyes suddenly clear, as if in the distance, a mysterious melody helped her instantly find herself!
All illusions vanished, she turned back and found the road she had come from.
She saw the many versions of herself from the past… small and weak, yet always moving forward with strength!
“I am always myself.”
She murmured to herself, and the next moment, Nan Feng, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them!
In a flash, a faint golden Immortal light streaked through her eyes!
The melody also stopped abruptly!
“I’ve seen the door… now Almost Immortal!”
She muttered subconsciously, shocked as she looked up at Li Fan, only to see a slight upturn of his mouth, a hint of approval in his expression, as he said:
“You played well.”
