Chapter 1,299: Immortal Dimension
In front of them were numerous immortal valleys. Clouds and mist surrounded them in the morning, birds chirping harmoniously. At dusk, multicolored rays of light shone brightly. The immortal spirits were completely dyed in the forest, and they were not alarmed. Every evening, they could see many five-colored immortal deer drinking by the stream. Xiao Chen could even gently caress their antlers as he passed by.
This level of immortal realm was truly difficult to find in the mortal world. For a moment, Xiao Chen had actually forgotten to return. He thought in his heart that Wei Yang. If he could bring her to this immortal realm and walk with her in this Drunken Dream Immortal Forest that alternated between dawn and dusk, he would probably forget all the worldly troubles.
Just like that, three days passed. Perhaps the entire Ancient Immortal Realm was much bigger than he had imagined before coming here. After three days, he did not walk out of this mountain range.
Even though the scenery in the forest was strange and surrounded by the aura of the Immortal Dimension, he had never relaxed his vigilance at any moment. He still remembered hearing Medicine Saint and Medicine Saint say that there seemed to be a very powerful Daoist Taixuan in Heavenless Palace who had already entered Ancient Immortal Realm many years ago.
If Daoist Taixuan of the Heavenless Palace knew that he had almost destroyed the Heavenless Palace in the mortal world and killed two Palace Masters, what would happen?
But anyway, Xiao Chen had already remembered what Gu Mo said before he entered the forbidden zone of slaughter that day. “What do you think the path of cultivation is? Is it led by the lives of the world? Let me tell you, the path of cultivation was paved with the blood of countless people.”
In the past, he had always remembered Ling Yin’s words that Immortal cultivators had to be led by all living beings in the world … This sentence was not wrong, but now, he understood that this path of immortal cultivation was originally a bloody path, and Gu Mo’s words were even more correct.
The human world was still like this, and this Immortal Dimension seemed to be filled with the aura of the Immortal Dimension, seemingly an unparalleled paradise in the human world, but in reality, there was probably a more terrifying slaughter hidden within it than in the human world.
Otherwise, how could there be a place like the Forbidden Zone of Slaughter?
Otherwise, in the gap between the Immortal Dimensions, how could all the cultivators from the Immortal Dimension become so bloodthirsty? How could he be insane?
Xiao Chen knew what the next step would be. Before entering Ancient Immortal Realm, Gu Mo had told him very clearly. The world always thought that the Immortal Dimension was a paradise and was indisputable. In fact, it was exactly the opposite. The bloody and cruel battles here were even more terrifying than in the mortal world. This was the reality.
Therefore, Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod Body would become his sharpest method. Whoever came to cause trouble for him would not mind turning this place upside down. Sometimes, slaughter was not for the sake of slaughter, but for the sake of survival.
Just as he was thinking of this, he had already arrived at a valley in front of him. At this moment, two powerful auras seemed to be emanating from the valley. They were getting closer and closer until the nearby mountain peaks began to tremble violently. Thousands of kilometers of clouds also surged endlessly.
“There’s someone fighting …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed and he immediately concealed his aura. How could he not feel danger when he had just emerged from the gap in the Immortal Dimension?
Although he had comprehended the sixth level of the Ancient Battlefield, the so-called aura of an expert was not enough to intimidate him, but these two auras that were getting closer and closer were indeed not trivial. Perhaps even an expert of the Three Realms would tremble!
As soon as he entered Ancient Immortal Realm, Xiao Chen did not want to cause him any trouble. He immediately hid behind a huge boulder. Not long after, he saw two streaks of light galloping towards him from the distant horizon, one green and one white. The clouds in the sky also gushed towards both sides, like an immortal battle technique.
“Master Xuan Dao, you’ve been chasing me for three days and three nights, yet you still aren’t willing to let go?”
“Fairy Shuiyue, I think you should stay behind with this Heavenly Book. I don’t want to harm your life.”
“Hurt my life? Xuan Daozi, you’re a little too confident.”
The green and white rays of light flew closer and turned into two silhouettes.
In front of her was a Fairy dressed in white. However, her originally spotless white clothes were now stained with a lot of blood. However, looking at her uninjured appearance, this blood should not be hers.
Behind him was a white-browed Taoist wearing a cyan robe. He was not injured, but his body was also stained with a lot of blood.
Carefully looking at the white-clothed Fairy, he was holding onto a secret manual tightly. The whisk in Daoist Qingyi’s hand also emitted a trace of golden aura. He firmly entangled himself on the manual and refused to let go. It turned out that the two of them were fighting over the remnant manual.
“Heavenly Book …”
Hearing the two words’ Book of Heaven ‘, Xiao Chen’s expression froze as he looked at the secret manual in Fairy’s hand. He wondered if it was a fragment of the Book of Heaven that was being fought endlessly between the righteous and devilish sects in the mortal world. Even cultivators of the Immortal Dimension wanted that ancient book so badly …
When the two of them chased to the vicinity, they finally stopped. Xiao Chen also watched the change quietly. However, at this moment, a bold idea had already sprouted in his heart. The Heavenly Book he cultivated was not complete. Could it be that the Heavenly Book fragment in this woman’s hand was another scroll?
“Brat, you don’t want to die anymore. You dare to think about what they stole?” At this moment, Gu Mo’s voice suddenly entered his divine sea, as if he could see what he was thinking.
“Why don’t you dare?”
Xiao Chen sent Shen Nian back and said, “Look, the two of them are stained with a lot of blood. This Heavenly Book must have been snatched by a lot of people. In any case, it’s all a fight between us. Why don’t I wait for them to fight until both of them are injured?”
Gu Mo did not expect that he would actually dare to think of these two people. Let alone their cultivation levels, who knew what kind of power was behind them? Did he think that with Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod Body, he could walk around the Immortal Dimension?
Xiao Chen was naturally clear. At this moment, he could also see that the two of them were practically fighting for this secret book with their lives. However, if it was really a fragment of the Heavenly Book, then at most, he would borrow Dugu Tianxia’s Divine Devil Body and would definitely obtain this fragment of the Heavenly Book.
The life and death backlash in his body originated from the incomplete fragment of the Heavenly Book. Although Fairy Su Wen’s method of changing hearts was useful, it could not solve the problem of the source. And this source was the Heavenly Book.
“Humph!”
In mid-air, Daoist Qingyi coldly snorted. He flicked his palm towards the white-clothed woman, causing the earth to shake. Even though it was extremely far away, Xiao Chen could still feel the terrifying power of this power. The two cultivators’ cultivation bases were likely capable of killing a Three Realms cultivator with a single palm strike.
Seeing Daoist Qingyi’s palm attack, the white-clothed woman also chanted an incantation. With a swipe of her finger, a profound light flew out. With a “boom”, the surrounding mountain peaks trembled and large pieces of broken stones tumbled down.
How could this woman have such strength? Something’s wrong … Old man Qingyi focused his attention and said tentatively, “Fairy Shuiyue, your magic power is inferior to mine. Why are you struggling to hold on until today? If I’m not mistaken, you must have received Old Monster Ding’s palm strike before you died. You deliberately wiped his blood on your body to cover up your own blood, right?”
Seeing him start attacking, the woman in white sneered, “I just happened to be unwell these past few days. After these few days, you, a mere immortal, dare to fight me? Besides …”
When she said this, her gaze became very sharp and her voice became much colder. “This Heavenly Book is something Empress wants. You are not afraid that you will be beaten to death by Empress in the future if you snatch it today. Do you think you will be able to protect your primordial spirit if you provoke Empress, and then a Yun Zhongjun will be able to protect your primordial spirit?”
“Hmph, don’t use the Great Empress to suppress the poor.”
Hearing the word “Great Empress”, not only was Xuan Daozi not afraid, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Feeling the murderous intent in his eyes, Fairy Shuiyue felt that something was amiss. If Old Monster Ding hadn’t been for her profound arts protecting her body, she would have been seriously injured by that palm strike. However, these past few days, she couldn’t take it anymore. If Xuan Daozi were to reveal the truth at this moment, it would probably be very bad …
But the Heavenly Book in his hand …
Fairy Shuiyue glanced at the Heavenly Book in her hand. At this moment, the Heavenly Book was wrapped around Master Xuan Dao’s Golden Silk. She could not put it away. Could it be that she wanted to throw it away? No, absolutely not …
“Hmph.”
Daoist Xuan snorted coldly, and his left hand suddenly formed a seal. With a “pa” sound, a ten zhang cyan profound seal appeared in the void, and it suddenly struck towards Fairy Shuiyue.
This time, it came very quickly. Even though Fairy Shuiyue had reacted in time, she was still unable to move. In the end, she was shaken back by the green profound seal. Her face finally couldn’t be concealed and became very pale.
“Hmph, looks like you’re really injured.”
Xuan Daozi snorted coldly, and his gaze instantly became like a snake and scorpion. As soon as his voice fell, another storm of attacks came.
Facing this storm of attacks, Fairy Shuiyue still refused to let go of her hand. She moved lightly with a lotus step, leaving behind a few afterimages on the spot. Her true self had already moved dozens of feet away.
However, no matter how far away she was, she was still unable to get rid of Xuan Daozi’s golden silk. Helplessly, she could only pinch her hand seal and countless strands of sword qi appeared in the void and slashed towards Xuan Daozi.
“Hundred Flowers Sword Formation? Humph!”
Xuan Daozi snorted coldly. He swept his gaze across the dust and instantly condensed a dozen layers of true energy. With a “clang clang” sound, he actually blocked all of the sword energy that was raining down from the sky.
After releasing this round of sword qi, Fairy Shuiyue’s face became even paler. In fact, her cultivation was still above that of the Mysterious Dao Child. However, that day, she was ambushed by the other party and was struck by Old Monster Ding’s Five Poisons Divine Palm before she died.
If it weren’t for her high cultivation, profound arts, and timely use of the Hundred Flowers Secret Technique to force out the poison, she would have already been attacked by the poisonous fire. However, even so, she was still injured. Moreover, circulating the Hundred Flowers Secret Technique consumed too much of her magic power, making it difficult for her to deal with Xuan Daozi at this moment.
“Alright, I’ll give you this fragment of the Heavenly Book.”
Suddenly, Fairy Shuiyue waved her hand and threw the fragment of the Heavenly Book that she had obtained with great difficulty towards Master Xuan Dao.
