Chapter 358: Chapter 154: Luo Fuyao’s Fate, Li Treading Immortal Visits the Sect, Seeking to Learn All Mystic Sect Arts!
She hesitated and wandered to the palace door, looking back.
Only to see at the ’screen’ beside the throne, a figure with a graceful and slender posture emerging, leaning near King Yin’s ear, seemingly whispering something to him.
"Mother..." Lowering her gaze, her fingertips digging into the flesh, Luo Fuyao pressed her lips together and said no more, leaving directly.
Inside the hall.
King Yin’s expression was calm:
"Divine Consort, do not forget what you promised me."
Before him, ’Luo Heavenly Maiden’, Luo Fuyao’s mother Luo Divine Consort, with a face and appearance of absolute beauty, was kneeling and bowing her head. Upon hearing this, she said:
"My Lord, Fuyao is grown up, she won’t stir up any storms."
"The Secret Scroll passed down from the ancestors of the Profound King Lineage, whether or not you grant her freedom, I will present it to you, aiding you in this chaotic world, to quickly become a ’True Master’, to cleanse the world."
Dragging his crimson royal robe, watching the crystal-clear jade beads hanging from the outer corridors, faintly able to glimpse a corner of the entire Divine Capital, King Yin’s gaze was profound:
"The talented individuals in this world are advancing too rapidly; the situation is completely different from twenty years ago."
"In the Divine Capital, each of the six pillars of the nation has their own path."
"If I fall behind."
"Then..."
"You, Fuyao, and the entire Yin Palace will be destroyed overnight, along with your riches and glory as well."
"These things, you need to understand."
Grasping Luo Divine Consort’s chin, King Yin spoke.
To this, the woman softly responded with an ’Mm’, obediently lowering her head.
"I understand."
The candlelight flickered in the hall.
...
World’s First Mysterious Sect, Life and Death Mountain and River Sect!
With the aid of the Wuwei Sect, borrowing Guan Chanzi’s supreme skill from one of the sixteen strong sects ’Lankao Temple’, the ’Lankao Golden Light Escape Book’, it took barely a day and night.
Jixia was brought to the foot of the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect by these three, who were wanted by Great Yin and the world’s Mysterious Sects, truly becoming targets of public ire by today—Feng Zizai, Guan Chanzi, and Zhang Ziqing.
Unlike the reincarnation of ’Song Chai Xin’.
This time,
As his first time, experiencing a fragment of life immersively.
Jixia finally gained some understanding of the world from a hundred years ago.
Todays’ world is still divided into five states.
They are the Northwest Wilderness occupied by the Three Demon Ancestral Courts, three demon behemoths identical to those in later generations; it’s unknown if they remained immortal, surviving to that time.
Shenhuang State is the domain of Divine Blood Nobility, centered around the Divine Capital of Great Yin in Central State, the utmost importance where many influential ministers, clans, and great houses reside.
Among them, the ’Six Pillars of Divine Blood’ shakes the world, even surpassing King Yin’s means by far over the past twenty years; after Jixia’s roundabout inquiry, it turns out...
The predecessor of the later ’Divine Blood Sect’!
As for Tongye and Fuyao, these two states lie west and east of the Divine Capital respectively, being the location where most of the sixteen powerful sects are situated.
And Tongye, seized by his father in this lifetime, can be said to have a father who didn’t care, and a mother who’s gone, plus having just killed his brother. Rumor of this might have spread already; he wondered whether a reckoning would come.
Finally, there is Changbai State, as remote and mountainous as the Northwest Wilderness and Baoping State, rumored to bury many ’ancient relics’, and was said to be taken over by ten thousand Red Eyebrow, claiming hills as king under the leadership of the ’Heaven-Soaring General’ Yellow Dragon Dao, with quite a momentum.
No more, just four big words.
A chaotic mess!
"I wonder..."
"Who exactly will be the one to end such chaos?"
With these thoughts in mind, he looked at the mountain gate of the ’Life and Death Mountain and River Sect’.
Only to see—
Gazing from afar.
This was an area filled with red brick buildings and swallow-tailed ridges, the suspended mountain eaves of numerous Daoist temples, rising and falling, looking quite solemn and grand.
But...
Despite the thriving incense, it didn’t appear as grand and prosperous as the ’World’s First Gate’.
It might be due to the low-profile nature of the owner.
"This is Life and Death Mountain and River Sect." Zhang Ziqing’s tone was complex.
"Founded personally by Zuo Shanhe, with ’Life and Death Mountain and River Profound Skill’ as its core, every disciple must spend a year grinding in the Lower Institute first, regardless of cultivation."
"Even after a year, they might be filtered out, making that year a fruitless hard work."
"Yet, it’s undeniable that mastering just the first tier of ’Life and Death Mountain and River Profound Skill’ grants one the qualification to study the ’Dragon Tiger Divine Power’, which already far surpasses...other sects."
Upon hearing this, Jixia’s heart stirred, refining ’Dragon Tiger Divine Power’? Only the first tier?!
Recalling how he refined Li Shentong, thus amplifying the ’Demon Suppression Dao Qi’...
What Jixia lacked now was,
’Method’!
He absolutely couldn’t use the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of ’Human World Demonstration Dao’ to deduce a cultivation technique for what he learned now.
So, since what’s in front seemed to be the strongest ’Primordial Pill Profound Skill’ in this era, and it even had the qualification to aim for the fourth step True Master.
There was no reason not to pursue it!
"But how do the three of us...bring him up the mountain?"
"Are we going to be beaten out by Zuo Shanhe’s group of disciples who don’t speak martial virtue?" Guan Chanzi was somewhat hesitant.
Instead, Feng Zizai was all straightforward:
"What’s there to fear? We still haven’t—"
Before the words finished.
The trio was stunned.
Because...
The fair-skinned boy before them showed no outward timidity.
Instead, he took steps, one by one up the stairs, crossing a full hundred, walking to the door engraved with the couplet ’Life and Death, Mountain and River’ behind the ’single copper bell burning incense’...
’Bang, bang, bang!’ He knocked three times!
Then,
"Junior Li Treading Immortal, responding to the past promise with the ’Mountain and River Immortal’, today...comes to seek mentorship!"
Rustling sound.
A group of Immortals descended from the forest.
Seeing the door gently open with a ’creak’, a crowd of white-robed disciples came forth...
Feng Zizai and the other two’s faces twitched, neither advancing nor retreating.
"This young fellow..."
"Really unperturbed, not treating himself, let alone us, as outsiders huh."
Feng Zizai scratched his head, forcing a cheerful smile.
And then...
He saw a series of fierce gazes.
