Chapter 45: The Zither and Brush of the Three Absolute Immortali
The world had quieted to an extreme.
The scroll that had echoed through the Jiuxiao Immortal Domain, oppressing the entire Xuan Tian Realm, had gently fallen and returned to Fire Spirit’s hands.
However, the myriad Supremes around her were still kneeling, unable to stand for a long time.
They had been thoroughly conquered.
Fire Spirit held the scroll in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity. To what grade had this piece of calligraphy reached?
Senior Li… what kind of existence was he, really?
Before, they had thought that Senior Li was a being who transcended the Supreme, a single painting that could slay a Demon Venerable.
But now, a piece of Senior Li’s calligraphy had made Immortals bleed in the Supreme Burial Ground, Almost Immortals kneel, and Supremes prostrate themselves…
They couldn’t even begin to imagine the realm of Senior Li.
"This is just one piece of calligraphy from Senior Li…”Mu Qianning murmured, gazing up at the heavens above…
There lay the Immortal Land that so many cultivators in the Xuan Tian Realm aspired to reach in their dreams, where entry meant truly stepping onto the Immortal Path.
Throughout the entire history of the Xuan Tian Realm, those who had managed to enter were few and far between.
Yet now, a single scroll had managed to shatter the boundary wall…
This was terrifying…
Gradually, the Supremes kneeling on the ground began to regain their senses as the cold wind blew past them, bringing them back to the reality of the world.
"A true Goddess!”
Some Supremes looked at Fire Spirit with eyes full of worship!
"An emissary of a Supreme being, behind Fire Country lies such a formidable and absolutely terrifying personage…”
"Too frightful, when did such a being appear in the Xuan Tian Realm…”
All of them had complex expressions.
Luo Ming and Hong Xuan, observing the painting in Fire Spirit’s hands, prostrated themselves completely, their hearts filled with utmost reverence!
"At first, we thought Senior Li was a powerful Immortal. Now it seems his identity is probably beyond our wildest imagination…”
"Even True Immortals, even the Sect Gates above the Immortal Domain, submit to his calligraphy…”
Luo Ming’s eyes were filled with sheer adoration.
"Senior Li is definitely a major figure in the Immortal Realm, capable of breaking through boundaries… This is something rarely seen even in the legends of the Immortal Path.”
Hong Xuan also spoke, feeling a chill retrospectively.
Fortunately, they of the Taiyan Holy Land had chosen to stand on this Senior’s side.
"Looking at it now, we have significantly underestimated the major figure behind Fire Country…”
The Saint Master Ling Chao Supreme of the Taiyan Holy Land couldn’t help but smile wryly, glanced toward Primordial Yang Venerable and said,
“Even if the founders of our Holy Lands were to return, they would probably… probably choose to retreat…”
For the Holy Lands, their founders were the object of their faith and pride.
Now that he had uttered such words, it was apparent how deeply he had been shaken.
"Such a being must surely come from the Immortal Domain, and we are nothing more than pawns under his hand…”
Primordial Yang Venerable spoke, his expression incredibly grave as he speculated, looking towards the Supreme Burial Ground where a pool of True Immortal’s Blood had dyed the ground red, and said,
“Clearly, someone is plotting against the entire Southern Territory, even the entire Xuan Tian Realm!”
"And all of this has not escaped that being’s eyes; thus, he bestowed the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu, allowing us to enter it and even to lure out the True Immortals behind it all, annihilating them in one fell swoop!”
"Such a grand scheme, such a magnificent spirit… The Holy Land bows down, the True Immortals vanquished…”
His voice was filled with an almost tremulous awe.
"It’s laughable that we used to think that Senior Li’s target was the Evil God; now it seems that to him, this so-called Evil God is nothing more than a blade of grass by the roadside, no, not even a blade of grass!”
Spirit Transcendence Venerable laughed bitterly!
Looking back now, their initial judgment of this Senior… was utterly absurd!
The level of the other party, was simply beyond their capacity to admire.
All the Supremes felt shocked but also joyous.
"The rogue Spiritual Power in my body has vanished, and my strength is recovering!”
"That piece of calligraphy possesses Supreme power to suppress all evil and nefarious forces!”
"With the death of the True Immortal, the Spiritual Power he left necessarily dissipated like smoke!”
The fear of falling in realm and being controlled disappeared in that instant.
"True Immortal vanquished, Sword breaking through the Immortal Domain… what kind of existence is this Senior? Such an awe-inspiring spirit…
The white-haired woman also murmured to herself, then she turned her head, looked at Fire Spirit, and said,
“May I have the honor to meet this Senior?”
She was extremely solemn.
Fire Spirit was taken aback by the request, this woman was an Almost Immortal after all…
One of the pinnacle figures in the entire Xuan Tian Realm.
And now she too wished to meet Senior Li…
"If possible, we also wish to see this Senior, please give us a chance!”
At this moment, Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable also appealed to Fire Spirit and her companions.
They were all extremely deferential!
Although Yu Qishui, Mu Qianning, and others were only at the Mahayana Realm now, they did not dare to show disrespect because the person behind Mu Qianning was that Senior.
Fire Spirit looked at Yu Qishui and Mu Qianning, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
"Qian Ning, what do you think?”
Yu Qishui was also unsure and turned to Mu Qianning.
In fact, it was Mu Qianning who had initially received Senior Li’s favor.
Even though Fire Spirit had received many gifts from Senior Li before and after, she was very clear that without Mu Qianning, none of it would have been possible.
Mu Qianning thought for a moment but shook her head and said,
“Senior Li likes quiet, likes to lead the life of a mortal, I think he wouldn’t want to be disturbed.”
"However, we can go and ask for Senior Li’s opinion first.”
Upon hearing this, both Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui nodded; that seemed for the best.
"Respected Seniors, we cannot decide by ourselves, we need to ask that Senior first.”
Yu Qishui spoke up.
However, everyone nodded, saying,
“Of course, of course, with such a personage as that senior, we shall wait.”
There wasn’t a hint of displeasure.
Even the white-haired woman didn’t say anything, though a slight look of disappointment was evident in her eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the matter here is concluded, it is time for us to depart.”
At this time, Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke up.
The Ascension Platform was already destroyed, and the killing scheme had been unraveled, leaving everyone somewhat relieved.
Immediately after, they turned around and began making preparations to leave.
Right, the True Immortal’s Blood spilled all over the ground, what a peerless treasure…”
At this moment, a Supreme spoke up, a fervent look in his eyes.
Primordial Yang Venerable and Spirit Transcendence Venerable exchanged looks and respectfully turned to Mu Qianning, asking,
“Miss, may we collect this item?”
Everything must first be discussed with the emissary of that senior.
Mu Qianning quickly waved her hand, saying,
“The two seniors may do as you please.”
Upon hearing this, the two Saint Masters were elated beyond expectation!
Many Supremes then came forward, carefully collecting the True Immortal’s Blood.
"Haha, this is truly a great opportunity! A drop of True Immortal’s Blood could create a new Holy Land…”
"Indeed, it could allow a complete Supreme to comprehend the Immortal Path!”
"This is also a blessing granted by that very existence…”
Everyone was extremely joyful!
"Senior, won’t you collect some?”
At this time, Mu Qianning looked at the white-haired woman with curiosity.
Being an Almost Immortal, perhaps she could become an Immortal directly if she acquired the True Immortal’s Blood?
But the woman shook her head, looking towards the calligraphy in Fire Spirit’s hands, saying,
“I have already beheld the true Supreme Immortal Path. All other paths are but dust.”
All are but dust!
Mu Qianning immediately understood that this Almost Immortal had set her heart on seeking an audience with Senior Li, indifferent even to the True Immortal’s Blood…
While people were collecting the True Immortal blood, a grave suddenly cracked open, and two rays of light flew towards Mu Qianning and the others.
"What is that?!”
"Protect the envoys!”
Everyone hastily shouted, with some Supremes quickly standing in front of Fire Spirit and the others, fearing they would get hurt.
However, those two rays of light hovered in front of them, motionless.
It was an ancient and unadorned Seven-Stringed Zither, along with a mottled brush!
A zither and a brush!
They exuded an aura of antiquity.
"This…”
Everyone was taken aback.
"The zither and brush of the Three Absolutes.”
The white-haired woman spoke up, with a slight sigh.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!
The zither and brush of the Three Absolutes!
"The Three Absolutes… It truly is the zither and brush of the Three Absolute Immortal. It is said that after becoming an Immortal, he did not take the Immortal Artifacts into the Immortal Realm but left them in the Xuantian Realm for the later generations… 1 never imagined it to be true!”
"These are two Immortal Artifacts… too terrifying. No wonder, no wonder Three Absolutes Holy Land launched a campaign to the Southern Territory!”
"Why would the Immortal Artifacts of the Three Absolutes Immortal suddenly appear… could it be that the treasures are seeking refuge?!”
Everyone was extremely shocked. These were two Immortal Artifacts that, if their existence were made known, would shake the entire Xuantian Realm. If the Three Absolutes Holy Land were to obtain them, it could very likely create several more Immortals.
It should be noted that the Three Absolute Immortal was known for excelling in zither, calligraphy, and painting. A zither and a brush were the embodiment of his Immortal Path, containing the secrets of the Immortal Path.
At the same time, they were also guessing why the two Immortal Artifacts had suddenly appeared.
"Clearly, this is just the treasures seeking refuge,” said Spirit Transcendence Venerable with a sigh.
“In the entire Xuantian Realm, no one but that senior could make sentient Immortal Artifacts automatically follow and attach themselves…”
Complex expressions filled everyone’s eyes.
Many people would fight tooth and nail over these treasures, unable to obtain them even if they begged, yet the treasures chose to follow someone on their own initiative…
"Master, what should we do with these?”
Mu Qianning asked Yu Qishui.
Yu Qishui hesitated for a moment before saying,
“Let’s collect them for now and present them to Senior Li!”
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning both nodded, and with a gentle gesture, the two treasures fell into their hands.
Although the eyes of many Supremes were filled with fervor, no one dared harbor any thoughts of covetousness.
It was a joke—since even True Immortals had perished, who would dare to court death so blindly?
After the two Immortal Artifacts were collected, everyone turned back and finished gathering the True Immortal’s Blood, not a single drop left.
Afterward, the group left the Cangli Mountain Range in a grand procession.
Meanwhile.
A massive army that blotted out the skies was approaching the Cangli Mountain Range!
Within the army, the war banners of the Three Absolutes Holy Land were held high.
Majestic and imposing!
"We of the Three Absolutes Holy Land have come for vengeance!”
"The scoundrels who harmed our Holy Land’s Tie Ming and Shi Tai, show yourselves and meet your demise!”
The voice of a Supreme resonated throughout the land!
