Chapter 605: Chapter 405: Stepping Into the Void Again, The Truth Behind the Legend
The True Immortal stood upon the clouds.
Zhong Heng faced the True Immortal.
However, at this moment, Zhong Heng felt as if the True Immortal before him was constantly magnifying, seemingly transforming into a giant towering over all.
The giant looked down, as if viewing ants.
Yet, this feeling vanished in the blink of an eye.
The True Immortal, such an existence truly possesses the ability to roam the world for eternity.
Such an existence is marked prominently in the history of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
In front of the True Immortal, although the other party did not employ any magic, Zhong Heng instinctively wanted to express all his thoughts.
But Zhong Heng was not an ordinary person; he had seen quite a bit of the world.
There was a gleam in Zhong Heng’s eyes that others could not detect.
Zhong Heng lowered his head, a trace of uncertainty flickering in his eyes, as if he had seen something else. He took a deep breath.
"Naturally, it is... to lend an Immortal a helping hand."
At the side, Kong Hong’s indifferent and expressionless face turned to one of astonishment.
In front of an Immortal, there was not much difference between mortals and Nascent Souls. Where did he get the courage to speak such words?
The Five Elements True Immortal’s expression was calm.
His eyes seemed to contain all things, vast and encompassing.
The Immortal said nothing.
Zhong Heng, however, glanced at Kong Hong.
Kong Hong went from shock to surprise.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
The Immortal smiled, waved his hand gently, and in the next second, Kong Hong found himself back in the Five Elements Mountain Cave Mansion.
Kong Ling, who hadn’t come to her senses, stared blankly at her grandfather who had returned to her side and couldn’t help but rub her eyes.
Grandfather and granddaughter exchanged a look, both showing the same confusion in their eyes.
...............
"Junior from the Central State Wanlang Mountains, originally just wanting to become an Immortal Disciple, using Immortal prestige to return home and solve difficulties."
"But I never expected to encounter such things..."
Zhong Heng raised his head, unexpected to find the Immortal looking at him. At this moment, their eyes met, and Zhong Heng felt as if he had turned into a sheet of paper.
The Immortal was browsing the ’inscriptions’ on him, traces left by time and karma.
..................
Jiang Ming looked at the golden inscriptions.
The images flashed before his eyes one by one.
Jiang Ming possessed the experiences of the Undying Demon Venerable, Xiang Wuji.
He knew if this continued, everything about Zhong Heng would become known to the Immortal.
In this state, Jiang Ming couldn’t guarantee whether the matters of the River Map would be known to the Immortal.
After all, in Zhong Heng’s cultivation path, the River Map occupied a significant Chapter.
"The prerequisite for communication is equality..."
Jiang Ming closed his eyes, countless memories flashing through his mind.
"Initiate interference."
"Zhong Heng has the potential to become a True Immortal; this file cannot be lost so quickly."
..................
"Hmm?"
The Five Elements True Immortal paused slightly.
The eyes of Zhong Heng in front of him regained color.
At this moment, Zhong Heng was already interfered with by Jiang Ming.
It wasn’t directly seizing control, but rather descending with an existence similar to a Celestial Soul. Zhong Heng was still Zhong Heng, only with many more things in his mind.
"Immortal... Five Elements True Immortal..."
"Five Elements True Immortal? Or perhaps I should call you... Peacock Great Saint..."
A storm suddenly arose in the sky of the True Immortal Grotto Heaven, with wind, rain, thunder, and lightning filling the entire space.
That was celestial might.
Yet, the celestial might vanished in an instant.
Both stared into each other’s eyes.
At this moment, the Divine Sense of the True Immortal receded, and he did not notice that under Zhong Heng’s robe, his back was drenched in sweat.
The River Map analysis had unknowingly begun, in Zhong Heng’s vision.
The heavens and earth transformed into lines.
The River Map was analyzing this world.
Only the Five Elements True Immortal remained unchanged.
Amid the chaos of lines, the Five Elements True Immortal was still dressed in white, standing there.
However, behind him was a peacock.
The peacock spread its feathers into five colors, the five colors turning into five thin lines, connecting to the limbs and head of the Five Elements True Immortal.
"Old Turtle! If you get me killed, who will find your lost Luo Book?" Zhong Heng thought angrily.
Zhong Heng, though a grateful person, was not stubborn. When Elder Hu requested his help, Zhong Heng hesitated.
In Zhong Heng’s view, he could repay kindness or take revenge after achieving immortality, after all, it wasn’t like the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable was standing right in front of him waiting for rescue, but rather Elder Hu’s perception.
After noticing Kong Hong’s abnormality, Zhong Heng had already prepared to flee.
More so, meeting an Immortal also meant there was a possibility of his secrets being exposed. If it were the original normal Five Elements True Immortal, Zhong Heng wouldn’t be as worried.
However, the behavior of the Peacock Race alone was enough to indicate something was wrong with the Five Elements True Immortal.
Kong Ling, knowing Zhong Heng’s temperament, was surprised by his abnormal reaction.
At this moment, the River Map Illusion, which hadn’t transformed for a long time, revealed the Divine Turtle.
Old Turtle told him there was a scent of the Luo Book on the Immortal in this place.
In that instant, Zhong Heng made an uncontrollable choice.
When he arrived at the Immortal Grotto Mansion, Zhong Heng already regretted it.
But the River Map ability of Zhong Heng seemed to have gained a strong enhancement here, able to spy on the Immortal and even... spy on things hidden much deeper.
Zhong Heng swore he really didn’t want to know these things.
"Oh? You’re the first one other than the Immortal Sect to see through my identity."
The Five Elements True Immortal wasn’t surprised at all.
It seemed that his real identity was not a secret at the Immortal level.
The Five Elements True Immortal...
Perhaps only the peerless powerhouses of ancient times in Jiuzhou, among the Great Saints of the Demon Race, could the Peacock Great Saint wield the title of the Five Elements.
