201: Dusk witnesses true believers
Immortal Realm.
Tianlan Domain, Nine Heavens Mountain.
As a large domain on the frontier of the Immortal Realm, Tianlan Domain was very remote, with few Immortal traces.
Nine Heavens Mountain was even more desolate, with almost no vegetation and scarce Immortal Qi.
Inside Nine Heavens Mountain, space overlapped layer upon layer.
At this moment, a desolate space.
Immortal Emperor's Tomb, Eighteenth Layer!
Upon the exposed rocks and sand, countless white bones could be seen, corpses strewn everywhere, almost paving the ground white.
A white-haired man, with a little gourd hanging from his waist, stood quietly in place, his gaze cold, looking at a certain spot on Nine Heavens Mountain, where a vast aura emanated, and a wordless Immortal Tablet stood proudly on the mountain Peak.
The wordless Immortal Tablet, made of special material, stood firm against wind and frost, and remained indestructible through calamities.
“Brother Su, my apologies.”
“This formation is too strong, I can’t break it.”
A cold voice sounded behind the white-haired man.
A tall figure was sitting cross-legged, his aura dispirited.
Behind him, there were several other individuals of various appearances, all with pale faces, closing their eyes to recuperate.
“Brother Lin, it’s nothing. You heal first, I’ll take over.”
Floating Slaughter Sword Master stared at him. This figure was not of the Human Race.
A Dragon head and a Human body, with a faint, terrifying might, indicated his extraordinary cultivation.
Heavenly Dragon Clan, Quasi Immortal Emperor, Lin Chu!
He was also his newly befriended brother!
Although newly acquainted, they had already shared several life-or-death experiences!
They had discovered this Immortal Emperor's Tomb many days ago. The Emperor Tomb contained a large amount of temporal turbulence. They had worked together, enduring many hardships, and spent several hundred years to finally reach this Eighteenth Layer!
The little gourd told him that they were not far from the Immortal Emperor's Tomb’s main tomb chamber!
Lin Chu’s Dragon eyes flickered slightly. He subtly glanced at the little gourd on Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s waist, then slowly nodded: “Alright, be careful. I’ll heal for a bit.”
After speaking, he seemed to trust Floating Slaughter Sword Master greatly, sitting cross-legged to Cultivate.
Floating Slaughter Sword Master took out a jade bottle filled with precious Immortal King great medicine and tossed it to him: “Your Divine Soul is damaged, use this.”
Lin Chu’s eyes flickered. After receiving it, he carefully examined it, as if discerning its value, and thanked him sincerely: “Good brother, thank you.”
Floating Slaughter Sword Master waved his hand, saying freely: “Between us brothers, no need for words. Your injury is also because of me.”
Lin Chu smiled bitterly: “I was a bit reckless, and I even implicated you.”
Floating Slaughter Sword Master felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this, and shook his head: “This is an Immortal Emperor's Tomb after all, with countless hidden dangers. Wealth is found in danger, so there’s no talk of implication. You came all the way to the Immortal Realm to help me, and I naturally keep this friendship in my heart.”
Watching Lin Chu pour the bottle of Immortal King great medicine into his mouth like beans, Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little heartache.
These were not ordinary Immortal King great medicines; Brother Lin was truly wasting them.
The Heavenly Dragon Clan’s way of doing things was just too rough.
He could only avert his gaze, staring intently at the wordless Immortal Tablet on the horizon, a Dao sword appearing in his hand.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom boom!
…
Floating Slaughter Sword Master erupted with terrifying aura, attacking the wordless Immortal Tablet.
But the formation on the Immortal Tablet was too terrifying. Even Floating Slaughter Sword Master, using countless wondrous methods, was repeatedly vomiting blood, breaking bones, and suffering severe Divine Soul injuries after several attacks!
Fortunately, the wordless Immortal Tablet was about to loosen!
“Floating Tu, why work so hard? Can’t you let Lin Chu and the others do more?”
The little gourd’s suggestion came to his ears.
“Brother Lin has already had a Luck seed planted in him by you, and these days he has been with me, sharing life and death. He is a trustworthy existence.”
“Who knows how many layers the Immortal Emperor's Tomb has? This layer isn’t very dangerous, so I’ll put in more effort.”
“They are weaker than me and already injured. Let them recover as soon as possible. Even if there are dangers later, they can help block them.”
Floating Slaughter Sword Master responded coldly.
The Luck seed planted by the little gourd could not only share Luck but also make the person with the Luck seed maintain goodwill or even loyalty towards him!
This was the Heaven-Defying aspect of the little gourd!
The only flaw was that it could only plant Luck seeds in those weaker than oneself!
Even so, it had given him too many conveniences.
The little gourd heard this and said: “Are you planning to abandon them then?”
He did not hide anything, directly telling him his plan: “On the outskirts of the Emperor Tomb, we suffered heavy losses. When we truly reach the depths of the Emperor Tomb, the danger will surely increase significantly. Letting these pawns like Great Master Yi and Lu Immortal King scout ahead will be worthwhile.”
“Oh, I see… that’s not impossible.”
“But Great Master Yi and the others are somewhat talented. The Luck seeds you’ve planted now are too few. You’ve only just managed to gather a group, isn’t it too much of a waste to just throw them away?”
“The Immortal Emperor's Tomb is here, it won’t run away after so many years. Should we prepare more thoroughly before coming back?”
The little gourd asked hesitantly.
Floating Slaughter Sword Master said coldly: “I don’t have that much time. Failures must have the attitude of failures. The Immortal Emperor's Tomb is of great importance. If I can obtain the Legacy, I will surely advance further.”
“At that time, I am confident I can suppress that woman, forcibly plant a Luck seed, and once I enter the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, there will be ways to suppress that beast Chu Feng.”
“For the long-term plan, losing some seeds is worth it.”
He was very decisive!
He already had a complete plan in his mind!
These days, it’s a long story.
That day, after he escaped from Chu Feng unscathed, vanished into the Void Realm, and fled the Immortal Realm into the endless realms, he used the little gourd to cross infinite distances, calling upon friends, wanting to fight back.
Unexpectedly, those old friends he had made in other worlds all made excuses, and nothing came of it.
Disheartened.
He had planned to lie low, endure, and make a Breakthrough before coming back to reclaim his dignity.
But the little gourd had suffered a great grievance this time and refused to endure!
It kept clamoring to fight back!
It brought out its trump card!
It took him to several dangerous Supreme Secret Realms to strengthen his foundation.
And proposed an extremely feasible plan!
Chu Feng’s momentum was already established, and he had usurped the Immortal Realm, so a head-on clash was impossible.
But he could find a way to suppress that woman of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, plant a Luck seed, and forcibly take her!
Coerce her into forcibly joining the Hongmeng Divine Alliance!
Floating Slaughter Sword Master was initially unwilling.
He knew very well that he couldn’t afford to provoke that woman’s background!
If he became enemies with Chu Feng, as long as he left the Immortal Realm, he would have plenty of time to fight back.
But if he became enemies with Hong, the power of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance was not something he could contend with!
But the little gourd laid its cards on the table!
It told Floating Slaughter Sword Master that it also had an astonishing background!
It was even related to a great Dao!
Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s development of it was less than one percent!
Many trump cards couldn’t be brought out because his strength was insufficient!
He still remembered that day after escaping, the little gourd excitedly said: “What are you afraid of, the Hongmeng Divine Alliance?!”
“Once your strength increases, Grandpa Gourd will back you up! You simply don’t know what terrifying existence stands behind your Grandpa Gourd!”
“It’s just that your current strength is too weak. Grandpa Gourd has many Legacies that you simply can’t receive, otherwise Grandpa Gourd would have brought them out long ago!”
Floating Slaughter Sword Master was swayed by the promises of the little gourd!
I am indeed the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist!
What kind of Heavenly Mandate Protagonist seed could have such a great background as mine?
Since that woman Hong is as unappreciative as that bitch Su Ji, then don’t blame me for being impolite.
Floating Slaughter Sword Master developed great ambition!
Thus, under the guidance of the little gourd, he entered several terrifying Secret Realms, constantly exploring!
Although only half a month has passed, due to the temporal disorder in various Secret Realms, he had actually Cultivated for tens of thousands of years!
He even boldly returned to the Immortal Realm several times, and with the little gourd’s concealment, even the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao and the foolish Chu Feng wouldn’t have thought that he dared to wander under their noses!
Although some unpleasant things also happened these days.
Several times he suffered heavy losses and narrowly escaped death, but he also successively befriended brothers and friends like Lin Chu, Great Master Yi, and Lu Immortal King!
Some of them were Immortal Kings persecuted by Chu Feng in the Immortal Realm, and some were Quasi Immortal Emperors like Lin Chu who traveled outside the realm!
With the Luck seeds planted by the little gourd, they were trustworthy and formed a new small group.
Floating Slaughter Sword Master looked at these figures.
The elegant Great Master of Array Dao, Invincible Immortal King, Great Master Yi.
The Peak Immortal King proficient in strange arts, Umbrella Immortal King.
The Peak Immortal King with exquisite blade Dao, Lu Immortal King.
And the Peak Immortal King who had Body Refining to the extreme, Immortal King Chu Ba.
These few, plus Quasi Immortal Emperor Lin Chu.
Were enough to sweep through most of the forces in the Immortal Realm!
And this was just the foundation he had built in the past half month!
If I am not the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist, who is?
Want to make me fall into evil?
I can only say, Chu Feng, you are too naive.
Floating Slaughter Sword Master was full of ambition.
As the saying goes, glory welcomes false spectators, while twilight witnesses true believers.
His Luck reached the heavens; even when a tiger was down, he could still gather such a terrifying lineup.
And under your very nose, he discovered an Immortal Emperor's Tomb.
The Immortal Realm had just ascended to the Supreme Realm, yet there was an Immortal Emperor's Tomb. This Emperor Tomb must be extraordinary.
Perhaps there would be an emperor source inside!
Once he obtained the Legacy from the tomb, he would surely reclaim the Immortal Realm, Sword Domain, and Su Ji—all that belonged to him!
Just wait!
I will soon return to the Peak!
With endless rage, Floating Slaughter Sword Master once again drew his sword and struck the wordless Immortal Tablet.
Boom!
Floating Slaughter Sword Master vomited blood and flew backward, his face like golden paper!
Boom!
He attacked again!
He became a puddle of flesh!
Those recuperating figures all opened their eyes.
Watching Floating Slaughter Sword Master wield his sword, attacking the wordless Immortal Tablet again, and being suppressed by the terrifying Immortal formation in a sorry state, their eyes exchanged glances.
“This idiot, he’s really putting his life on the line.”
Lu Immortal King looked at Floating Slaughter Sword Master with admiration.
The Umbrella Immortal King, not far from him, transmitted his voice: “How much longer until the main tomb chamber? We can’t let him get the benefits. Should we mess with him some more?”
Great Master Yi spoke coldly: “Boss Chu Zero asked Grandpa Gourd, and it said it’s almost at the main tomb. It has already notified the master to come and intercept.”
“Then the master needs to be quick. We can’t let this idiot succeed.”
“Although he’s an idiot, his Luck is indeed very good. Many times he was on the verge of death, but he managed to turn things around. He casually found an Immortal Lord's Tomb, and it even contained an Immortal Emperor's Tomb! If Grandpa Gourd really wanted to help him, perhaps he would have cleared this Immortal Emperor's Tomb.”
“So what exactly does ‘idiot’ mean?”
“It’s not a good word. Go ask the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, it was the first to say it.”
Lin Chu then interjected: “No need to rush. The main tomb chamber seems close, but it will actually take over a hundred years to explore. If we deliberately trigger or create some more dangers, delaying him for a thousand years is no problem.”
The little gourd also joined the group chat: “Coming, coming! Master says he’ll be here soon!”
Everyone’s spirits lifted!
These years, they had been acting with the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao and the little gourd around this idiot Floating Slaughter Sword Master, which was truly vexing.
Finally, it was time to wrap up.
