"No wonder you want to kill her. Once she is allowed to grow, her future will be promising!" The scholar suddenly understood.
Earlier, he had been wondering why a dignified Emperor of the Devil Race would waste such a precious opportunity to deal with a nobody at the seventh level of the Void Immortal Realm … But in the end, this was the reason!
"These three should be her demonic beasts …"
Zhang Xuan scanned the area with his Spiritual Perception once more, and three demonic beasts soon appeared in his sight. After taking a closer look at them, a slight frown appeared on his forehead.
The Donkey, the tortoise, and the parrot that the young man was referring to looked completely ordinary. They did not have any immortal bones or beast essence. How did the young man describe them as peerless experts?
Strange!
"Let's not care about him anymore. Once we kill him, we'll be able to complete our mission …"
The Scholar shook his head and was just about to make a move when he suddenly froze. His eyes narrowed in astonishment as he exclaimed, "That young man … possesses the Innate Dao Constitution and the Immortal Bloodline!"
There was a young man in front of the tortoise and Donkey. His cultivation base was only at the second level of the Void Immortal Realm. However, there was Dao Accumulation circling his body. He had a Xiantian Constitution and an Immortal Bloodline!
Such a constitution was extremely rare even in the Celestial World, and there would not be a single case in a few thousand years!
Why would he appear here …
"Despite having such a formidable physique, he's only at the 2nd level of Pseudo Immortal at the age of seventeen or eighteen … What a waste, what a waste!"
With a livid face, the scholar flew into a rage.
The Innate Constitution of Dao was much stronger than the so-called Innate Immortal Bones. It could be considered one of the best constitutions in the Myriad Worlds. With such talent, under his guidance, he would be able to reach the pinnacle of the True Immortal realm by the age of eighteen. In fact, he might even reach the Golden Immortal realm …
Only at the 2nd level of the Pseudo Immortal Stage … What a waste! It was equivalent to polishing a peerless jade into trash!
"No, I want to take him as my disciple!"
A glint flashed across the scholar's eyes as he made up his mind.
He had to kill the culprit, and he had to take in a disciple. Of course, he could give the culprit a chance to 'choose' so that he could better rope him in in the future.
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan descended from the sky, revealing his silhouette that he had been hiding in the void. He walked over to the courtyard, raised his palm, and slowly knocked it down.
Dong dong dong!
"Creak!" The door opened, and the gatekeeper, Uncle Qin, walked out. "Sir, who are you looking for?"
"I'm just passing by. I'm a little thirsty and would like to ask for some water. Is that okay?"
The scholar smiled.
"This … Of course!"
After a moment of hesitation, Mister Qin didn't suspect anything. He turned around and walked towards the courtyard. "Wait here for a moment. I'll go get some water …"
The scholar nodded and walked slowly into the courtyard. Soon, he arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. He smiled and looked into one of the rooms.
The 'disciple' in his eyes was currently scolding three monster beasts and a demonic cultivator child.
Scolding a ninth level Void Immortal was like scolding a grandson …
As expected of the person he had taken a fancy to, such courage!
…
He sat on the stone bench and waited for tea. At this moment, Su Yin was staring at Bliss and frowning.
After meeting up with the Three Beasts, he brought them back to his room. After all, it involved a lot of secrets, and there were many things that he couldn't say in front of Gu Ling 'er.
As soon as Ji Le came in, he apologized profusely and explained in detail.
The Great Demon had been beaten up for so long for no reason. Not only was he unable to redress his grievances, he even had to endure a scolding and apologize carefully … The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the other party was his grandfather!
Seeing Ji Le's attitude, Su Yin's anger dissipated. At the same time, he asked in confusion, "You mean to say that you didn't cause any trouble? If that's the case, why did the passageway shatter?"
Before he entered the passageway, he had investigated it in advance. It was extremely sturdy. Under normal circumstances, as long as one didn't take the initiative to attack or cause trouble, it would be difficult to destroy it. Yet, it ended up in such a state halfway through. At that time, he thought that it was Ji Le's doing, but now, it seemed like that wasn't the case.
Ji Le's Soul Imprint was in his hands, and he was the pet of the tortoise and Donkey. If he really did that, wouldn't he be courting death?
Furthermore, there was no reason for Ji Le to be so cowardly.
"I'm not sure either …" Ji Le shook his head. Then, he thought of something and said, "Grandfather said that when we woke up, we appeared outside the Demon Imperial City. Could it be that the Giant Demon Tribe discovered us and secretly attacked us? We used the altar that they set up, and that was how we fell into their trap … "
Su Yin was taken aback. "That's possible!"
The Demon Tribe was known for their evil deeds. If Gu Ling 'er hadn't made a move, they might have really been killed! Just thinking about it left a lingering fear in his heart.
"Alright, I believe you. Now, why don't you tell me how you were able to arrive so quickly?" Su Yin asked curiously. "Alright, I believe you.
"We came from the Immortal Suppression Sect," Ji Le explained in detail.
"Immortal Suppression Sect?"
Su Yin furrowed his brows.
He only knew that there was a passageway that connected to the Lingyuan Abyss in the Great Yan Prefecture, but he didn't think that it would lead to the Lingyuan Abyss as well.
"This should be the passageway that the Sealing Stone mentioned previously …" A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
When he first arrived at Dry Origin City, he had taken a closer look at the Eight Great Halls. Just like the Alliance of the Great Yan Prefecture, the Dragon Ball was located in the Immortal Suppression Sect. Perhaps, this passageway corresponded to that.
"Those old fogeys … As soon as I asked them, they feigned death. When The Great Demon of Ji Le arrived, they took the initiative to reveal the passageway …"
Su Yin was rendered speechless.
After learning that the forbidden grounds were extraordinary, he had gone to look for them, but who knew that those lingering spirits wouldn't say anything at all. But now … Ji Le and the Three Beasts had obediently opened the passageway for them.
Sometimes, he wondered if he was the other party's disciple, but those three fellows were!
…
While Zhang Xuan was cursing in his heart, the forbidden grounds of the Immortal Suppression Sect suddenly glowed, and countless lingering spirits appeared once more.
"How many times in a day … Can't we rest at all?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The tomb keeper has appeared. If I'm not mistaken, the great upheaval has already begun!"
"The tomb keeper can only be awakened by the Seal of the Celestial World. It seems like the Celestial World has already noticed Little Su Yin. Trouble is coming!"
"Fusing one's art is equivalent to fusing one's Great Dao. It's bound to cause all kinds of upheaval. It's hard not to attract attention."
"I didn't tell him what I was imparting to him because I wanted him to keep a low profile. Who could have thought that this fellow would be too high-profile? He hasn't learned the essence of my conduct at all!"
Yang Xuan sighed.
"You want to keep a low profile?" the lingering spirits scoffed.
They had been together for ten thousand years, and they were all familiar with each other. This fellow was just short of being high-profile, and yet he still wanted to keep a low profile … Why didn't he just die!
"There's no point in discussing this anymore. I want to ask, what do we do now?" one of the lingering spirits asked.
"There's nothing we can do. Putting aside the fact that we can't leave this place, even if we can, the tomb keeper will immediately awaken once we leave the forbidden grounds. At that time, it'll be even more troublesome! If things go wrong, we might even expose Little Su Yin's identity in advance. "
"We can only wait for Little Su Yin to resolve this matter on his own! Let's just hope that … he can hold on! "
"It shouldn't be a problem. Every time Little Su Yin comprehended a new skill and received a reward, we would secretly transfer a portion of our strength to the tortoise, Donkey, and the other beasts. Those three beasts might look silly, but their true strength is not weak. While the tomb keeper is strong, he's still far from being a match for them!"
"That's true. With them guarding him, even if Little Su Yin doesn't have much experience, he should be safe!"
The lingering spirits discussed for a long time before they finally relaxed and returned to the tomb.
…
The first sacred mountain of the Celestial World, Mount Buzhou!
Light flowed and spun in the sky, shining in all kinds of colors. It seemed to outline countless Great Daos.
If there were experts of the Celestial World here, they would definitely recognize that this was the most supreme treasure of the Celestial World … the Light of Origin!
It was a treasure that could only be born from the origin of the Great Dao. Observing it often would be of great benefit to one's cultivation.
Rumble!
The light in the sky twisted wildly, letting out a thunderous roar.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few huge faces suddenly appeared, looking at the strange pattern in the sky. One of them frowned. "Someone has merged with the Great Dao of Distortion! It's probably related to Yang Xuan and the others. "
"Haven't they been killed and sealed? Why are they still causing trouble? "another huge face said.
"Let's open up the Immortal Passage first. It's been ten thousand years … I think they can't stand the loneliness anymore!"
"So what if they can't stand it? They couldn't do it when they were alive. I don't believe that the lingering spirits left behind by clothes can do much! "
"Let's leave it to the juniors. The Five Decays of the Immortals that occur once every ten thousand years is here. We have to focus on resisting it. Otherwise, we won't be able to avoid the same calamity as them."
"That's true. Inform the juniors to deal with it as soon as possible. What we have to do is to prepare for the calamity … That's the most important thing!"
"Mm!"
Without saying anything else, the huge faces disappeared at the same time.
Whoosh!
After they disappeared, the colorful light in the sky twisted again. It turned into Pleasant Goat, Gray Wolf, Luffy, Teletubbies, Detective Conan, Ultraman …
Iconic figures appeared one after another …
…
"Tell me, what's going on with that fellow?" Su Yin knew that the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt. He could only stop thinking about it and look at the charcoal man thrown into the corner.
At this moment, Patriarch Qiong Yuan had already lost his consciousness under the torture of the lightning, fire, and donkey hooves. Only his body was twitching uncontrollably. It was as miserable as one could imagine.
"Bliss detected that you were in danger through the lingering spirit that master left in the Soul Jade Token. We thought that you were captured by the Demon Race, so we rushed into their palace … and beat that fellow up!"
The parrot explained.
"That's a Heavenly True Immortal we're talking about! I saw it with my own eyes when he made a breakthrough. How could he be defeated so easily?"
Su Yin was perplexed.
Even until now, he was still unable to make sense of the strength of the Three Beasts. In fact, even he himself was unable to make sense of it.
After all, it had only been seven days since he left the Forbidden Land of Beasts, and he had yet to make a move.
He had been relying on his opponent's imagination and intimidation …
"It wasn't easy …" Dahei tilted his head to the side as he pondered for a moment. "I used close to a hundredth of my strength to kick him down from the sky!"
"A hundredth?" Su Yin felt a headache coming on.
"Indeed. When I kicked Bliss in the past, I used around a ten-thousandth of my strength … The lingering spirits told me to keep a low profile …" Dahei nodded.
"…"
Bliss's mouth was agape for a long time.
He had thought that he was on par with the other party, but in the end, the other party had only used a ten-thousandth of his strength. It was no wonder why he was able to survive despite being kicked so many times. On the other hand, a Heavenly True Immortal like Old Ancestor Qiong Yuan was nearly dead …
What the f * ck … Should I thank you?
"Alright …" Su Yin rolled his eyes. Since Donkey was already so formidable, could it be that even though he was only at Pseudo Immortal 2-dan on the surface, he was actually very powerful as well?
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan turned to The Great Demon and said, "Use your full strength to attack me …"
"…"
Bliss's body twitched violently, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Grandfather, I haven't recovered from my injuries yet …"
Again?
This is already the third time! Before I even made a move, you had already gotten Donkey and the tortoise to pummel me half to death. If I had really made a move, wouldn't I have been annihilated?
"Which one of you wants to give it a try?" Su Yin turned to the Three Beasts and asked.
"We can't do it either …" The Three Beasts shook their heads.
Speechless, Su Yin was just about to dissuade the Three Beasts when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"What's wrong with you? I brought you some water out of goodwill, so why are you in the courtyard? Hurry up and get out, or else I'll call the guards … "
Grandpa Qin's voice sounded.
"You're just a Juxi realm brat. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"
A scholarly voice rang out. Immediately after, the air outside rumbled. Then, Uncle Qin's frightened voice rang out, "You, you let go …"
Su Yin frowned, but he couldn't be bothered to reprimand her. He pushed open the door and walked out.
At this moment, Gu Ling'er and the others also walked out of the room with wary gazes.
Many of the informants had just been killed, and another person was causing trouble. It was likely that the other party was in cahoots with them.
Su Yin turned his gaze over and saw a middle-aged scholar. At this moment, he was waving a folding fan in front of his chest with a scholarly look on his face. Grandpa Qin and a large group of guards were currently floating in midair, as if someone was grabbing them by the neck. No matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free.
"If you're here under the orders of the Demon Emperor to kill me, please let them go. They're just ordinary people, innocent!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Ling'er narrowed her eyes.
She was already very powerful, but she was still unable to see through the middle-aged man before her!
In other words … the other party's cultivation far surpassed hers, even surpassing that of Han Ling's …
She thought that it was already inconceivable that there were so many experts hiding in Dry Origin City. Who could have thought that there would be an even stronger expert here?
"To be able to see through life and death at such a young age, interesting …"
With a slight smile, Grandpa Qin and the guards fell from the sky with a 'hu!'. They were panting heavily, and their faces were pale.
In just a short moment, they felt as if they had walked on the brink of death.
"I'm indeed here under the orders of the Demon Emperor to kill you … Now, I'll give you two choices. Either I kill all of you, or I spare the lives of the few of you!"
With a single hand behind his back, the scholar closed his folding fan and pointed it at a few people. They were Su Yin, Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, Zhao Xun, Li Yang, The Great Demon of Paradise, the guards in the residence, and Grandpa Qin.
Knowing that there was bound to be conditions, Gu Ling'er harrumphed coldly. "What do you need us to do?"
"Not bad. You've seen through things quite clearly. I do have conditions for you!"
The scholar chuckled as he pointed his folding fan at Su Yin. "As long as you acknowledge me as your teacher, I'll go easy on you … It doesn't matter to me how many of you die!"
"Acknowledge you as my teacher?" Su Yin was taken aback.
He didn't think that the other party would have such conditions.
"That's right. It's your honor to be acknowledged by me and accepted as my disciple …"
The scholar's lips curled up as he pointed at the charred man lying in Su Yin's room. "That should be Qiong Yuan, who has regained his cultivation as a Heavenly True Immortal, right? He's nothing compared to me. Putting aside the fact that he hasn't fully recovered from his injuries, even if he was in perfect condition, I would be able to crush him with a single finger!"
"…"
The faces of Gu Ling 'er and the others immediately paled.
After witnessing how Donkey and the others easily killed Han Ling and the others, they felt that it was dangerous, but they still thought that there was still a chance. However, after hearing those words, they realized that it wasn't the case at all.
If even Old Ancestor Qiong Yuan wasn't a match for the other party, just how strong was the scholar?
Was he a Heavenly True Immortal? Or … had he surpassed the Heavenly True Immortal realm?
If that was the case, it would be truly terrifying!
"What should we do?" With such thoughts in mind, everyone turned to Su Yin and asked.
It was up to him to decide whether everyone would die or survive.
"Why did you accept me as your disciple?" Su Yin asked. He had no idea why he was so popular.
"That's none of your business. The decision is yours to make," the scholar replied with a smile.
"It's not that I can't acknowledge you as my teacher, but I'll have to see how strong you are first …"
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yin's eyes lit up. "How about this? I'll stand here, and you'll attack me. Show me your true strength … If you're really that strong, I'll accept your challenge!"
The Three Beasts and Paradise had been feigning fear all this while, but since the other party was an expert who wanted to take him in as his disciple, he would surely control his strength. This way, there would be no danger, and he could test his strength … No matter how he thought about it, the other party was the most suitable candidate.
"Oh?"
Not expecting the other party to agree so easily, the scholar's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "That's easy. I'll suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours right now so that you'll be convinced!"
Since he wanted to take in a disciple, he had to display his strength so that the other party would be impressed. In other words, this wasn't an unreasonable request at all.
As soon as he said those words, his aura swiftly weakened. Previously, Gu Ling 'er and the others were unable to sense his cultivation, but at this moment, it had already fallen to Pseudo Immortal realm pinnacle.
"Take a good look. This is my personal creation, the Great Merciless Palm! With a single palm strike, the world will be slaughtered, and the world will mourn … "
With a flick of his wrist, the scholar's five fingers morphed into palm imprints that fell from the sky.
In an instant, Gu Ling 'er and the others felt as if they had been plunged into the depths of hell. The corpses of their friends and family were strewn all around them, and their deaths were gruesome. There were also the corpses of many children lying around them. Just a single look at them would leave one feeling deeply sorrowful.
A mental attack!
Normal battle techniques only dealt with physical attacks. Those that could harm one's soul would have to be at least at Earth high-tier or above!
On the other hand, the mental attack that could induce one to resonate with one's soul, evoking sorrow, resentment, and all sorts of other negative emotions was a feat that even heaven-tier pinnacle martial arts would find difficult to achieve.
In other words, the other party had executed a battle technique that surpassed heaven-tier … How fearsome!
With such a battle technique paired with a cultivation of Pseudo Immortal realm, even if one wasn't a top-notch expert, it would still be difficult for a Pseudo Immortal realm cultivator to stand a chance against him.
"Brother Tianya, be careful …"
Gu Ling 'er clenched her fists tightly as worry surfaced in her eyes.
