"Our organization is named 'Temple of Immortals'. The strength of the organization is far beyond your imagination. The space pirates on Spider Den are nothing more than a bunch of dogs raised by the organization! Without the support of the organization, how do you think the petty thieves have been able to resist the world of Cultivators for thousands of years without being annihilated?
"In the meantime, the members of the Temple of Immortals are no longer Cultivators. You may call us … Immortal Cultivators!"
Li Yao's eyes were focused on the picture that was burning furiously on the light beam. His eyes were like two black holes that absorbed all the raging flames without leaking out the slightest brilliance. He asked coldly, "What is an 'Immortal Cultivator'?"
Huangpu Shiyi smiled. "Those who break free from the shackles of the identity of mortals, recognize what kind of extraordinary being they are, pursue the ultimate level of immortality, and explore the infinite mysteries of the universe and stars, are called Immortal Cultivators!
Before Li Yao said anything, Huangpu Xiaoya shuddered violently and exclaimed, "They are … Demonic Cultivators! Huangpu Shiyi, you have been seduced by extraterrestrial devils and become a Demonic Cultivator! "
Huangpu Shiyi sneered, "What is deity? What is devil? If even ants have intelligence, and you accidentally stomped dozens of ants to death, and the remaining ants condemned you in speech and writing, calling you an unforgivable devil, how would you feel? "
"I think the only feeling you will have is that you don't care at all.
"Deity or devil, we only seek immortality and the path of Dao. As for what the ants say, who cares?"
Li Yao said, "So to speak, this' Temple of Immortals' is an organization of Demonic Cultivators, or rather Immortal Cultivators, right? You seem to be different from the common Demonic Cultivators. "
Huangpu Shiyi said, "There is a righteous energy in the world named spiritual energy. Those who practice spiritual energy are good people and Cultivators. There is also an evil energy named tenebrum energy. Those who practice tenebrum energy are bad people and Demonic Cultivators. They are as horrifying as you want them to be.
"I thought that such bullsh * t could only fool three-year-olds. Refiners who have a deep understanding of the nature of spiritual energy like you will never believe it.
"Energy is energy, be it psionic energy or tenebrum energy. It's just that the wave structure and frequency of the energy are different. There's no such thing as good or evil! "
"Of course, compared to the relatively stable psionic energy, the psionic energy is more violent and unstable. Those who cultivate the psionic energy are very weak. The chances of Qi Deviation were even higher. When the psionic energy overflows, even blood and slaughter are needed to calm it down. This is why some immortal cultivators are called 'devils'. "
"However, the real Immortal Cultivators who are accomplished in their training are not like that. Look at us. What's the difference between us and regular Cultivators?"
Li Yao said, "So, your goal is to invite the two of us to join the Longevity Palace. Become an immortal cultivator? "
Huangfu Shiyi nodded. "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. I know that you two must be filled with anger right now. No matter what I say, you won't listen to me. But we have plenty of time in the future. It won't be too late to talk about it later. For now, I'll send you down to rest."
Li Yao moved his feet softly and pointed at Huangfu Shiyi's direction. He asked, "Where are we going?"
Huangfu Shiyi smiled. "Aren't you from the Great Horn Exo Society? We are going to the Great Horn Exo Society. "
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He was more or less relieved. "Is that so?"
Huangpu Shiyi's eyes were very weird. He said, "Are you curious why we set up so many bombs so easily? Logically speaking, the Skyhill Sword Seminar is one of the highest competitions in the world of Cultivators, and the security should be very tight, too, since so many big shots of the Cultivators are here.
"The reason is simple. The Skyhill Sword Seminar this year is the one with the least security and the fewest experts in the past hundred years!
"In the past, dozens of Core Formation Stage Cultivators would show up in the Skyhill Sword Seminar. But this year, there are only four. The Skyhill Domain is too large. How can four Core Formation Stage Cultivators control all the places?
"Take a guess. Where did the rest of the experts go?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and raised his head. "Did they ambush Fengyu Zhong?"
Huangfu Shiyi clapped his hands softly. "My young friend Li Yao, you are indeed smart. I appreciate you more and more!
"Not only did the experts of the Skyhill Sword Seminar take part in the battle to ambush Fengyu Zhong, most of the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector are involved in the battle, too. This time, the Cultivators are determined to execute Fengyu Zhong!
"As a result, other than the Skyhill Domain, the security of many important places in the world of Cultivators has been greatly slackened!
"Hehe. The murder of Fengyu Zhong's only son was an accident. But as a result, it has created a rarely-seen opportunity for the Temple of Immortals!
"Do you really think that Fengyu Zhong, the cunning head of space pirates, will rush out of his nest for revenge just because his only son was killed?
"Right now, the news of the astronomical bounty has spread out. Even a pig in the world of Cultivators knows that Fengyu Zhong is going to deal with the Great Horn Exo Society!
"In the eyes of the Cultivators, they have prepared a trap for Fengyu Zhong that he can never escape from.
"But they don't know that Fengyu Zhong is just a bait to lure the experts of the Cultivators away from their bases!
"The Temple of Immortals has been lurking in the darkness for so many years. Now, we can finally take this opportunity to surface!
"The Flying Star Sector will not be peaceful in the next few days. A lot of blood will be shed, and a lot of people will die. When the dust settles in a few days, you will see how immeasurable the strength of the Temple of Immortals is!"
Huangpu Xiaoya struggled hard and shouted desperately, "Huangpu Shiyi, how can you be so insane? I don't care if you are an Immortal Cultivator or a demonic Cultivator. You will not make us surrender! I am a Cultivator, and I always will be. I will never be the same as you, who regard mortals as ants! "
Huangpu Shiyi sighed and said, "Xiao Ya, there's no need to be so confident, especially when everybody knows the truth."
"Saber of the civilization of mankind? Guardian of the Cultivators? Ha. If I didn't know 'that thing', I would've been fooled by you.
"Since you are the strongest heir of the Huangpu family in this generation, I wonder, has the family leader ever told you about the incident five thousand years ago?"
Huangpu Xiaoya shuddered, as if she had been punched hard. She suddenly lost all strength.
Huangpu Shiyi smiled and said, "Judging from your appearance, you must have, didn't you?
"If you know what happened five thousand years ago, you should know why we left the planet five thousand years ago. Then you should know how we left the planet and wandered in the sea of stars. Even now, we are too ashamed to return to our true home. "
"Saber of the civilization of mankind? How hilarious. Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators are no better than each other!
"Besides, why did so many Cultivators degenerate into space pirates in the first place? You should know the reason, shouldn't you?
"Is the identity of a Cultivator really worth your pride?"
Huangpu Xiaoya's face was gloomy. She was rendered speechless.
Huangpu Shiyi said, "Alright. You can take a rest now. Everything will be settled in a few days. We can talk about it later.
"Right. You must have Cosmos Rings on you. Maybe you even have some gadgets that you can use to escape. To show my sincerity, you can keep them. However, do not let Black Stone and White Dew discover them when you use them. "
"Their sabers are very fast.
"You may not be scared of death, but as a refiner, you are not scared of death. If your hands are like mine … "
Huangpu Shiyi waved his hands, which were as dry as rotten wood. He mocked himself and said, "Irreversible damage? It would be worse than death, wouldn't it?"
Li Yao stared at Huangpu Shiyi and took a long breath. He said, "I understand it now. You used Fengyu Zhong as bait to lure the experts of the Cultivators out. Then, you took the opportunity to attack the nest of the Cultivators.
"When the Cultivators discovered it, they would naturally think that it was a trap and retreat to defend themselves.
"In the meantime, you will be able to come back and completely destroy the Great Horn Exo Society!
"The key is that the Cultivators only know about Spider Den and consider the space pirates on Spider Den as their opponents. But they don't know that behind Spider Den, a terrifying organization named the Temple of Immortals has emerged among the Immortal Cultivators, or rather, the Demonic Cultivators!
"Therefore, the Cultivators are bound to fail in the war, and the Great Horn Exo Society is destined to be destroyed, too!"
Huangpu Shiyi applauded. "Your deduction is very interesting. But don't worry. I know that you joined the Great Horn Exo Society after Star Lord Temple. Hunting Fengyu Ming had nothing to do with you. As long as you are willing to join the Temple of Immortals and become an Immortal Cultivator, I believe that Fengyu Zhong will do me a favor and not pursue the matter."
Li Yao sniffed and stopped talking.
Huangpu Shiyi waved his hands. Black Stone and White Dew walked behind them and looked at them with hideous smiles.
Li Yao followed them out of the cabin dutifully.
While walking, he pondered.
Who was the mysterious expert in the corner exactly?
Just now, he was almost ready to summon the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and slay all four Immortal Cultivators.
However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly sensed that there was an invisible powerhouse lurking in the corner of the cabin!
The expert's scent was feeble, but Li Yao had a bad feeling about it. The expert might be as strong as him, if not stronger!
Black Stone, White Dew, and Fei Ming were not weak at all. Although Huangpu Shiyi was a pure refiner, he must have carried a lot of defensive magical equipment with him.
Together with the mysterious expert who was as strong as himself, Li Yao was not confident that he could kill all five Immortal Cultivators in a row.
Of course, even with the help of the mysterious expert, Li Yao's capability and the formidability of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit would be more than easy for him to escape from the starship unscathed.
However, since the starship was going to participate in the battle to destroy the Great Horn Exo Society, Li Yao could not stay out of it.
Moreover.
The picture of countless ordinary people struggling in the burning fire in the Skyhill Domain was etched into Li Yao's brain and could not be erased at all.
"Temple of Immortals? Immortal Cultivators? "
Li Yao's eyes turned even darker. His back slowly disappeared into the dim pathway.
…
After Li Yao and Huangpu Xiaoya were taken away, a cluster of ripples appeared in the corner behind Huangpu Shiyi, from which a slender figure slowly showed up.
"Master Su!"
Huangpu Shiyi's face changed as he greeted him respectfully. (To be continued)
