Request of Phoenix Cry!
Poison Sold in the Gourd_2 With such ‘confidence’ and warlike spirit, they were naturally filled with ambition, desiring to charge into the Outer Region and plunder everything.
Under the gaze of numerous pairs of eyes filled with battle intent and excitement, a grand gateway’s outline gradually became visible at the top of the light column above Floating Island.
...
An ethereal and mysterious, yet vast and majestic force like heavenly might, radiated from the colossal and splendid outline of the light gate.
“The Immortal’s gateway!
The Immortal’s gateway has appeared!”
“After a thousand years!
The gateway to the ancient Heavenly Immortal World has finally opened for us again!”
“This is even more thrilling than opening the passage to the Outer Region…”
…
Within the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain, resembling a colossal flaming phoenix tree in the distant starry skies.
Phoenix Cry Daoist, in her brightly colored dress like the phoenix’s tail feathers, stood in the tower atop the lofty branches, solitary and imposing, with an air of inviolability.
Her dignified and powerful phoenix-like eyes sparkled, as if she could peer through the vast expanse of starry sky and directly witness the grand spectacle of the Immortal’s gateway’s appearance, speaking directly from a great distance to people like the Demon Lord.
“Phoenix Cry Daoist!”
Rebellious like Demon Lord Mo Luo and aloof like the Elderly Qingming, upon sensing the divine thought from Phoenix Cry Daoist across the distant starry skies, they both immediately showed their respect with humility.
“Mo Luo!
The Immortal’s gateway has opened.
You have declared that if no one would lead the cultivators of the Ancient Realm out of the Ancient Realm, you would be the first to do so.
As such, try not to create too much slaughter.”
Within the Demon Palace, the Demon Lord with flowing black hair furrowed his brow upon hearing this—they respected Phoenix Cry Daoist, but he would not condescend to such differing views.
“Phoenix Cry Daoist, those who achieve great deeds need not fuss over trifles.
War inevitably leads to death and injury.
If it allows the Ancient Realm to revive its former glory, even if the Underground Mansion is full, the Mortal World will still be rejuvenated next year.”
This was the Demon Lord—ruthless and decisive, with grand visions and ambitions, but also willing to achieve his goals by any means, even if it meant turning his back on the world.
Phoenix Cry Daoist already knew the Demon Lord would respond like this, and she changed her tone to a more neutral one, “This is my condition.”
The furrow between Demon Lord’s brows deepened.
If any unforeseen events occurred during the battle in the Heavenly Immortal World, he would ultimately still need the power of Phoenix Cry Daoist and require her to take action.
Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Qingmingzi hastily stepped in to smooth things over with humility.
“Please be assured, Phoenix Cry Daoist, Qingming is not a bloodthirsty person either.
Should we ultimately get our hands on the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm and the time comes to attack the Four Seas and Four Realms, we will certainly show mercy to those who surrender—there will be no needless killing.”
The Demon Lord remained silent.
This response was also a compromise he could make, and having Qingmingzi say it at this moment couldn’t have been better.
But any cultivator who entered the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm and participated in the ambush would not be shown any leniency; there would be no clemency.
Rumble—
In the sky, the Immortal’s gateway became more and more visible, with a vortex seeming to emerge inside the gate, where vapors of Immortal Spirit Qi were swirling and purifying.
The Demon Lord stood up, and a black lotus enshrouded in Demonic Qi flew from his brow to the ancient Demon Fetus outside the palace.
As the black lotus flew out, the smoky-like Demonic Qi gradually transformed into strands of blue Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, and the lotus itself turned to the same blue.
For a moment, many cultivators on the platform below felt the artifacts given to them by the Demon Lord emit light, as beams began to rise towards the heavens.
Their silhouettes ascended within the light beams…
…
Four days earlier.
Inside the Longevity Peak of the Eastern Region of the Four Regions.
Chen Dengming accepted the Beheading Dao Gourd, which radiated Spiritual Light, from the hands of the Gourd Twin Swords couple.
Treasure Calabash True Monarch Yu Mo made a gesture of respect with his hand and hesitantly said, “Sect Leader Chen, this Beheading Dao Gourd is the treasure of our Gourd Sword Island.
We are only lending it out this time.
After this endeavor, we hope Sect Leader Chen will return it as promised.”
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, his eyes flashing deeply as he looked straight into the depths of the Gourd Twin Swords couple’s eyes, as though a flash of silver fire passed fleetingly within his gaze.
The couple felt a tremor in their hearts, as if that one look had penetrated and seen through all their secrets in an instant.
This sensation, too, was fleeting.
Seeing Chen Dengming respond with a smile, Reedsword True Monarch Huang Yue felt apologetic and anxious, worried that Chen Dengming might feel displeased, and hurriedly added, “If Sect Leader Chen finds the gourd convenient to use, you are welcome to keep using it for a while after the journey ends, no problem at all.”
“No trouble!”
Chen Dengming waved his hand, “I have always kept my promises.
When the time comes, I will surely return it on time as agreed.”
The Gourd Twin Swords couple breathed a sigh of relief, and Treasure Calabash True Monarch Yu Mo bowed in shame, “Sect Leader Chen is noble and honorable.
It was presumptuous of me just now.
May I know if we…”
Chen Dengming nodded and said, “Come with me.”
The expressions of the Gourd Twin Swords couple turned joyous and excited.
With this assurance from the Longevity Sect Leader, their entry into the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm was secured.
Chen Dengming said no more and led the two towards Longevity Hall.
After meeting with the numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs already present, he announced that in an incense stick’s time, he would lead everyone into the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm and asked everyone to prepare themselves accordingly.
The number of cultivators from Longevity Sect entering the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm this time was thirty-two, all Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Four Seas and Four Realms.
Only two among them had achieved Complete Nascent Soul stage—Star Cloud Sword Sect’s Elder Gongye Chengyu and the former Island Master of Divine Tortoise Island, Mou Dalong.
The rest included four at the late stage of Nascent Soul, eleven at the mid stage of Nascent Soul, with the remaining at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Among these cultivators, those from the Immortal Sects of the Four Oceans were in the majority.
With Chen Dengming’s word that he would lead everyone into the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm after an incense stick’s time, although everyone was puzzled, they all happily agreed.
