Cloud Gazing Mountain, Ao Lai, Earth Immortal Realm.
Cloud Gazing Mountain was adjacent to the East Sea and was a million miles away from Mount Huaguo. It was just a nameless mountain, occupied by some small demons, whose highest cultivation was only at the Combination Realm.
There was a pavilion on the top of the mountain, looming in the sea of clouds, making it look hazy and illusory.
There was a stone table, two stone stools, and a pot of Immortal Tea on the stone table. Clear spring water was boiling in the pot, and soon, the fragrance of tea drifted out of the pot.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in and have a chat? Am I so disdainful of you?" Ye Xuan smiled, picked up the jade pot and filled the cup with tea. When he opened and closed his eyes, he looked at the Void in front of him.
"My friend, it's not that I want to cut ties with you, but you really shouldn't have offended Junior Brother Yang Jian." Longevity Immortal Venerable sighed and appeared from the Void. He entered the pavilion and sat opposite Ye Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. Not only did Yang Jian humiliate me, he even wanted to kill me in the Heavenly Court. Could it be that little brother has to wait for death and let him kill me?" Ye Xuan said with a bitter expression.
"Alas!"
The Longevity Immortal Sovereign let out a long sigh. He knew that Ye Xuan wasn't wrong, but what had already happened couldn't be changed.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, you invited me here today, and I came as promised. It's also because of our past friendship. If you can listen to my advice, go with me to Jade Spring Mountain's Golden Clouds Cave and ask for forgiveness from Martial Uncle Yu Ding."
As the Longevity Immortal Venerable spoke up to here, he looked at Ye Xuan's expression and discovered that the other party was still smiling. Then, he continued to advise, "Although Martial Uncle Yu Ding is Yang Jian's master, he's a Great Luo Golden Immortal. His temperament is extremely calm. If he were to speak up, he would definitely be able to turn your hostility with Junior Brother Yang Jian into friendship."
Looking at the Longevity Immortal Venerable bitterly trying to persuade him, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, this little brother appreciates your good intentions. It's just that our paths are different and we can't work together. Even if this little brother is willing to bow down to Yang Jian, how could he let this little brother go?"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Longevity Immortal Venerable's face lit up, thinking that Ye Xuan had the intention to reconcile. He hurriedly said, "A Worthy Younger Brother, don't worry. My Junior Brother Yang Jian respects Martial Uncle Yu Ding the most. As long as Martial Uncle Yu Ding says something, even if he hates you, he can only let it go."
"Fellow Daoist, let's not talk about the grudge between me and Yang Jian today. I asked you to come here today because I want to talk about the relationship between you and me."
Ye Xuan personally poured tea for the Longevity Immortal Sovereign, then raised the jade cup in his hand and downed the immortal tea in one gulp. Then, he looked at the Longevity Immortal Sovereign and said, "Little brother will use tea in place of wine to toast you, Fellow Daoist."
"A Worthy Younger Brother, are you really not going to think about it?"
Longevity Immortal Venerable frowned and did not drink the tea in the cup. He looked at Ye Xuan with a touch of disappointment.
"Some people are born enemies and can never be changed. Between me and Yang Jian, only one can survive. Even if he has the backing of Chan Sect, I have no fear."
Ye Xuan's smile was no longer there. His voice was resolute and decisive, which made Longevity Immortal Venerable sigh helplessly. He raised the jade cup in his hand and drank the tea in one gulp.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, since you have made the decision, I can't continue to persuade you. However, I am a third-generation disciple of Chan Sect. After drinking this cup of tea, we will break off all ties. If you do anything to harm Chan Sect in the future, don't blame me for not taking into account our friendship."
Longevity Immortal Venerable threw the jade cup on the stone table with a touch of disappointment on his face. He stood up at this moment and was obviously going to return to the Celestial Court.
"The Kui Water Essence is the root of harm. Brother, please leave it here."
Suddenly, without waiting for Longevity Immortal Venerable to leave, Ye Xuan poured himself another cup of tea and drank it calmly and leisurely. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Longevity Immortal Venerable with a cold and emotionless gaze.
Poof!
A mouthful of golden blood spurted out from Longevity Immortal Venerable's mouth. His face changed drastically as he turned around to look at Ye Xuan. However, all he saw was Ye Xuan's cold and emotionless gaze.
"Ye Xuan … You … You …"
Poof! Poof!
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Three mouthfuls of golden blood were spat out. Longevity Immortal Venerable tried his best to activate his Immortal Skill, but he could not suppress the extremely horrifying Yin Qi in his body. This caused him to fall onto the stone bench powerlessly. He looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely resentful gaze.
"Kui … Kui Water Essence … You … How could you have such a thing?" Longevity Immortal Venerable's face was pale as blood flowed out of his mouth continuously. Even though he was a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he could not suppress the Kui Water Essence from spreading wildly in his body.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan's face was expressionless. He took a sip of the Immortal Tea in his cup and said in a calm voice, "Naturally, I don't have the Kui Water Essence. However, it doesn't mean that others don't have it."
"HAHA!"
Suddenly, the void surged, and immortal light appeared. Zhao Gongming appeared, looking at the Longevity Immortal Venerable with a cold murderous look.
"Fellow Daoist Longevity, I'm really sorry. The East Pole Emperor asked me for the Kui Water Essence. Even though you and I are both Great Immortals of the Celestial Court, I dare not disobey the orders of the Emperor Emperor." Zhao Gongming laughed coldly as his eyes were filled with pride.
"Zhao … Zhao Gongming?"
"You … How dare you do this … Are you trying to start a war between the Chan Sect and Jie Sect?"
The Longevity Immortal Venerable's eyes were bloodshot as he roared. He wanted to stand up, but under the effect of the Kui Water Essence, he could not even mobilize a trace of immortal power.
"There's nothing for you to do here. You can go back."
Without waiting for Zhao Gongming to reply, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, causing Zhao Gongming's expression to change slightly. Then, he bowed to Ye Xuan and said, "Emperor, don't forget your promise to the Jie Sect."
"You talk too much nonsense." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes as a cold killing intent appeared around him. Zhao Gongming's expression changed as he laughed ingratiatingly before turning into a streak of light and disappearing.
"Ye Xuan … Why … Why?"
The Longevity Immortal Venerable clenched his fists tightly as his face flushed red. He had never thought that Ye Xuan would join forces with Zhao Gongming to kill him.
"Why?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself and then laughed self-deprecatingly. He looked at the Longevity Immortal Venerable with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"The reason is very simple. It's because I don't want to die. I want to live well in the Three Realms. I want to ascend to the Nine Heavens step by step and trample the Jade Emperor under my feet. If possible, I want to become a saint and become an ancestor. I want to compete with the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West for the Great Dao."
Ye Xuan's voice was very calm, so calm that it didn't have the slightest ripple. However, when the Longevity Immortal Sovereign heard it, his expression greatly changed, and he looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely terrified expression.
The Longevity Immortal Venerable had never thought that Ye Xuan's ambition would be so great. It was so great that it was unimaginable. Could it be that Ye Xuan was a lunatic?
"Do … do you know what you are talking about?" The Longevity Immortal Venerable asked in a trembling voice.
Ye Xuan slowly got up and came to the Longevity Immortal Venerable. He bowed solemnly and said, "Taoist brother, there is no enmity between us. Since I entered the Celestial Court, you have taken good care of me. I have always remembered it."
After Ye Xuan said this, his voice paused for a moment before he continued, "It's just that our paths are different and we don't work together. Little brother is already like fire and water with the Chan School, and Daoist brother is a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Only by devouring your cultivation will I be able to advance further."
"Ye Xuan, you are a wolf with wild ambitions. Even if you kill me, you will not have a good ending. The disciples of the Clan of Enlightenment will not let you go." The Longevity Immortal Venerable roared angrily.
At this time, Ye Xuan smiled. He pointed to the Mount of Huaguo millions of miles away and said calmly, "Taoist brother, there are 72 Demon Kings in the Mount of Huaguo. They are a terrifying force in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Cloud Gazing Mountain is one of the mountains under their jurisdiction. There are thousands of small demons in the mountain. No one will know that you were killed by me, and the real murderer is also one of the 72 Demon Kings."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Longevity Immortal Venerable's eyes turned red and blood flowed out of his mouth. His heart was full of hatred.
"Taoist brother, you can go in peace. Give your cultivation to me. If I become a saint in the future and become an ancestor, I will certainly reverse the origin of time and space and give you a future body."
"Pfft!"
Ye Xuan made his move calmly. His jade-like palm pierced through the Longevity Immortal Venerable's heart and crushed it. The extremely terrifying Primordial Golden Light spread out and annihilated the Longevity Immortal Venerable's spirit in an instant.
"Ye Xuan … you will die a horrible death …!"
At the last moment of his life, the Longevity Immortal Venerable roared at Ye Xuan. But before he could finish his words, his body exploded into a mist of blood, and an extremely majestic Immortal Force violently poured into Ye Xuan's head.
"Tribulation Immortal Technique!"
Ye Xuan's voice was cold and emotionless. He sat cross-legged on the mountain peak and operated the Immortal Scripture to frantically refine the Longevity Immortal Venerable's cultivation.
A full month passed. When Ye Xuan opened his eyes, the Primordial Golden Light around him was extremely bright. At this moment, he had broken through to the Middle-stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
"Sure enough, devouring an Immortal of the same level can increase my cultivation by a terrifying amount." Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a touch of blood quietly flashing across his eyes.
Today, Ye Xuan killed the Longevity Immortal Venerable and devoured his cultivation, but he did not feel the slightest bit guilty.
Yes, the Longevity Immortal Venerable had never been Ye Xuan's enemy, but there was no reason in this cruel world.
Ye Xuan knew that if he wanted to ascend to the Nine Heavens, he had to abandon his humble heart of pity.
Moreover, the Longevity Immortal Venerable was a member of the Chan Sect and would definitely be his stumbling block in the future. There was no difference between killing him now and killing him in the future.
The Longevity Immortal Venerable was not wrong, and neither was Ye Xuan. It was only this cruel world that was wrong. Ye Xuan did not want to die, nor did he want to become someone else's stepping stone. He could only climb to the top step by step and look down on all living things, because there was no retreat behind him.
If he wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to pile up endless corpses of Immortals and Gods under his feet. Then, he would start with the Longevity Immortal Venerable.
