82: Tribulation Crossing Tribulation

"Crap, I was just saying..." Li Changsheng instantly lost his composure.

"If Master wasn't in the Primordial Immortal Sect, you could destroy it as you please. But now that you dare to threaten my Master, I'll kill you."

Clearly, Li Changsheng was angry.

"Old man, wait a moment. If this bullshit Luminous Fire Sect Leader really tries to destroy my Primordial Immortal Sect, then I'll have to ask you to take action."

Zhang Wangu smiled slightly and said, "No problem, just leave it to me."

Shang Li, the Sect Head of the Luminous Fire Sect, conducted a search with his Divine Sense.

Clearly, he found no information regarding the great desolate pagoda.

The flames burning across his body grew even more intense.

His sky-shaking rage was fully manifest.

Zhang Wangu said with a face full of disdain, "This Shang Li Cultivates the Southern Bright Luminous Fire Manual. Its power is extraordinary, but unfortunately, it is perfectly countered by me. To use your words, Lord, I will definitely beat him so hard even his mother won't recognize him."

"Good."

Li Changsheng immediately burst into laughter.

Right at that moment.

In the Void Realm, Shang Li's voice rang out.

"Hand over the great desolate pagoda, or I will destroy your entire Primordial Immortal Sect."

A massive pressure shocked the entire Primordial Immortal Sect.

Li Changsheng couldn't help but look toward the palace where his Master was located.

Shaking his head, he said, "Master, you still don't want to see your Disciple?"

It seemed he had truly made his Master furious.

While it was said his Master was seeking a Breakthrough and was in secluded Cultivation, Li Changsheng could roughly guess that she was just so angry she decided to hide away.

Otherwise, she would have been disturbed by the first great upheaval of the Primordial Immortal Sect earlier.

Let alone this time.

Li Changsheng could even guess.

That his Master knew his every move on Misty Peak.

At this moment, she was likely watching Shang Li in the sky with her own eyes.

Because he had felt a Divine Sense sweeping across the entire Misty Peak more than once.

He was all too familiar with this Divine Sense; it belonged precisely to his Master.

And it was just as he thought.

Inside the palace at the summit of Misty Peak.

A peerless beauty was watching everything before her.

She murmured to herself, "My dear Disciple, I wonder how you plan to handle this crisis. It seems Master truly underestimated you."

She found that she understood this Disciple of hers less and less.

Not only could he summon a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor.

But he had now even recruited a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor.

As for the so-called Immortal Reincarnation and being followed by an Immortal—others might believe it, but she didn't believe it for a second.

Shang Li's rage swept through the entire Primordial Immortal Sect.

Dao Xuan had been very depressed over the past few days.

Because he was pregnant.

If it were a woman who was pregnant, that would be one thing, but he was a man. He had even tried to abort it.

As a Cultivator, destroying an infant inside the body—especially one that had just been conceived—should have been incredibly simple. But when he aborted the child, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief...

The infant was conceived once again.

This happened several times in a row.

Every time he aborted it, the infant would be conceived again.

It repeated like this several times.

Furthermore, every time he aborted the infant, it caused severe damage to his internal blood and Qi. His original Spirit Refining Peak cultivation had regressed to the Spirit Refining Late Stage after only three abortions.

And the cause of all this was one person: Li Changsheng.

The person he wanted to kill.

Yet that person was followed by a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor.

He was driven nearly insane.

He could only hide away and slowly think of a solution.

He didn't even dare to appear before anyone.

And now, a Tribulation Crossing Ancestor had come knocking on the door, demanding the great desolate pagoda.

If I knew where the great desolate pagoda was, I wouldn't continue being the Sect Head of the Primordial Immortal Sect; I would have returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect long ago.

Seeing that the destruction of the Primordial Immortal Sect was imminent.

There was nowhere to run even if he wanted to.

Clearly.

Shang Li was enraged.

He had been asking for a long time.

Yet not a single person had appeared.

"Good, very good. Since none of you will come out to answer, I shall destroy your Primordial Immortal Sect today."

A streak of fire descended from the sky.

It fell toward the Primordial Immortal Sect.

All the Disciples were scared out of their wits, their faces ashen as if the end of the world had arrived.

"This is the Southern Bright Luminous Fire. Once it falls, we will all be turned to ashes in an instant."

"I didn't expect my Primordial Immortal Sect to follow in the footsteps of the Blood River Demonic Sect and be destroyed."

"I regret it! I shouldn't have come to the Primordial Immortal Sect in the first place."

"great desolate pagoda, where on earth are you?"

A Tribulation Crossing Cultivator is also known as a False Immortal.

Anything associated with the word 'Immortal' cannot be judged by common logic.

An aura of despair spread among the crowd. No one resisted, because they all knew that resistance was utterly futile.

Even Li Changsheng shook his head as he watched.

"Damn."

"This Primordial Immortal Sect is beyond saving."

"Even if one is to die, one should die standing. They aren't even dead yet, and they're all kneeling."

"Old man, I'll be counting on you next."

Zhang Wangu nodded, and a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body.

Come to think of it.

This was the first time Li Changsheng would see Zhang Wangu take action.

The Tribulation Crossing Dharma Idol draws upon the power of heaven and earth, shaking the world.

At this moment, blue dharmic power surged around Zhang Wangu, forming a sky-towering giant that appeared before Shang Li. With a wave of its hand, the blue flames descending from the sky were instantly extinguished.

"Sect Head Shang, it would be better if you didn't do that."

"Zhang Wangu."

Zhang Wangu's appearance clearly caught Shang Li by surprise.

"You've also come for the great desolate pagoda. It seems you've been hiding in the Primordial Immortal Sect for a long time."

Zhang Wangu shook his head and said, "Does that matter? My goal is only one: to stop you from destroying the Primordial Immortal Sect."

Shang Li suddenly laughed.

"And what if I insist on destroying the Primordial Immortal Sect?"

Zhang Wangu said, "Shang Li, why don't you take a guess? In my search for the great desolate pagoda, I've already destroyed the Blood River Demonic Sect. Why haven't I destroyed the Primordial Immortal Sect?"

Shang Li said, "Oh? I'm quite curious to know as well."

Zhang Wangu said, "Naturally, it's because there is an existence in the Primordial Immortal Sect that I fear."

"Even if I don't stop you, if you truly harbor the intent to destroy the Primordial Immortal Sect, someone will naturally take action against you. When that time comes, you will die."

"Hahahaha!"

Shang Li reacted as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke.

He snorted coldly, "Zhang Wangu, do you think I'm a fool? To be so easily deceived by you?"

Zhang Wangu shook his head and said, "I'm not lying to you. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Regardless, I won't allow you to destroy the Primordial Immortal Sect. Moreover, if I can't quickly deal with you, someone else will step in."

"At that time, I'm afraid you, a dignified Tribulation Crossing Ancestor, will fall in this very place."

Zhang Wangu's appearance...

...instantly caused the sect members, who had thought the end was near and the Primordial Immortal Sect was doomed, to be filled with wonder.

Even the several Old Ancestors in the rear mountains looked at each other in shock.

They all began to speculate about Zhang Wangu's identity.

Of course, the main issue was that they couldn't hear the conversation between Zhang Wangu and Shang Li.

"Could this Senior be some Old Ancestor of our Primordial Immortal Sect?"

"To think we didn't even recognize him."

"It seems he has been hidden within the Primordial Immortal Sect all along."
