Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 641 - 515: The Unfamiliar Hongze, The Familiar Sect_3

Chapter 641: Chapter 515: The Unfamiliar Hongze, The Familiar Sect_3

Su Hongxiu and several other Daozi looked over curiously, a Daozi searching for someone in their own Sect doesn’t need to use any Golden Scroll.

Calling to the outside Cultivators through the Sect’s treasured land? Such a method is indeed rare in Southern Hong.

Wei Yuanzhou was also somewhat puzzled, a mighty Daozi of the Ban Shan Sect, the demeanor he was displaying now seemed somewhat inferior.

Who exactly was the other party?

In theory, Shen Yi was the person with the least experience present and also not very interested in things other than demons.

But at this moment, he was earnestly looking towards the sky, his clear eyes gradually beginning to sparkle.

At the moment when the Golden Scroll’s Spiritual Light dissipated.

A light layer of gold covered the sky-high clouds, then thread by thread, it began to weave.

Eventually, it formed a lifelike River and Mountains Scroll, spanning across the heavens and earth.

In the center of the great hall within that picture, there was a golden-thread cushion, and on top of the cushion sat an indistinct figure made of Spiritual Light.

He sat within the river and mountains, yet seemed to exist outside of the five elements.

Everything around him, whether it be the peddlers, the officials of high rank, the chubby monks, or the lean Taoists, were all vividly alive but always at a separate plane from him.

"This is?"

Even Wei Yuanzhou, who was the most knowledgeable, was somewhat shocked at this moment.

Yan Chongzhang explained in a soft voice as he stared at the firmament, "Immeasurable... Dao Imperial Palace."

"Immortal Law?" Bai Wu might not be outstanding in cultivation, but being a Daozi, he could tell at a glance that this was not purely a Dao Palace, the Cultivator must not be here and must have used some method to manifest part of the Dao Palace within the Ban Shan Sect.

Mentioning those two words, his voice trembled slightly.

"It’s not that serious," Yan Chongzhang gave a wry smile and then said, "We haven’t reached that level yet, this is a Daoist Technique they have comprehended, somewhere between a Spiritual Technique and an Immortal Law."

As he spoke, he suddenly fell silent.

Because the figure of Spiritual Light on the cushion slowly opened his eyes and cast his gaze downward.

"This is the item your Sect needs," Yan Chongzhang said evenly, pointing to the black-haired Giant Lion next to him.

The moment the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace appeared, this demon, which had been roaring incessantly before, suddenly lay on the ground, trembling slightly.

It had long heard that the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect was collecting various Spiritual Birds and Strange Beasts, a collection that had encompassed almost half of Hongze, with only Southern Hong escaping the ordeal.

Their approach was typically extinction of the entire clan, keeping only the one with the most outstanding talents.

Many from the Demon Race had fled to Southern Hong upon hearing the news, but very few had succeeded, and clearly, its luck wasn’t that good, it just didn’t know what sort of cruel methods it would face upon being brought into the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect.

"Not quite,"

Finally, the figure of Spiritual Light on the cushion spoke, he had been looking at Yan Chongzhang from the start, completely disregarding the other Southern Hong Daozi beside him.

"What do you mean?" Yan Chongzhang was taken aback.

"This isn’t what we want," the figure of Spiritual Light shook his head indifferently, "You are a Daozi of the Ban Shan Sect, you should be more diligent, this item... is too poor."

After he finished speaking, a beggar suddenly stood up in the scroll, and from his dirty sleeves, he drew a dark green short sword.

Then he seemed to casually toss it down.

Thwack.

A green light fell from the sky, penetrating directly into the top of the black-haired Giant Lion’s head, silently taking away its life force.

The green light remained unstained with blood, still pure and clean, and quickly returned to the beggar’s sleeve.

He sat back down at the side of the street, holding up his broken bowl.

"..."

Wei Yuanzhou’s eyelids twitched, that green light emitted the aura of a Dao Soldier, the opponent, without arriving in person and only using this mysterious method, was able to send a Dao Soldier over, which was beyond the understanding of Wei Yuanzhou, the Ling Yun Daozi.

"What’s the probability of winning?" Bai Wu habitually fanned the flames.

This time, he was met with a cold glare from Wei Yuanzhou.

"Is it necessary? It’s just a Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier, who doesn’t have one?" Bai Wu withdrew his gaze resentfully and then looked towards Su Hongxiu.

"All flash and no substance," Su Hongxiu looked up indifferently, staring at the sky where the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace was, her fingertips trembling eagerly.

In the struggle of life and death, it wasn’t about who had the grandest display.

Only those who could drive a Dao Soldier into their opponent’s body were truly powerful.

Hearing this, Bai Wu showed a surprised expression.

Given Su Hongxiu’s character, motivating her to make such comments about an opponent before the fight had even begun was actually a clear sign of how much pressure she was under.

"""

"Huff."

Yan Chongzhang fell silent for a long while, slowly clenched his fist, and turned around, "Understood, I will look again, you can go."

For the Ban Shan Sect, forging a relationship with the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, a top force of Northern Hong, was definitely a good thing.

But for a Daozi, lowering one’s posture in front of an unknown cultivator was no doubt a humiliation.

"Be more diligent."

The figure enveloped in spiritual light didn’t get angry, only advising with an aloof tone once more.

Then, the entire River and Mountains Scroll quietly dissipated.

Yan Chongzhang snapped shut the Golden Scroll with a clap.

Only at this moment did Yang Yunheng put on a helpless smile and turned to look at Bai Wu, "That’s no ordinary Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier, the Green Lotus Sword of Bihuo ranks within the top seventy on the Daoist Soldier Record."

"What is the Daoist Soldier Record?" With one question, Bai Wu revealed the predicament of Southern Hong; it wasn’t that he was slow-witted, he simply felt there was no longer any need to hide anything.

To the Seven Sons of South Hong, who learned about the situation through ancient texts, Hongze was becoming more and more alien.

"It only records one hundred Dao Soldiers, and to this day, the basic condition for inclusion is the Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier. Some people occupy three spots, while others can’t make it onto the list in their lifetime," said Yang Yunheng, pride creeping into his voice, "Our sect’s Daozi has claimed one such spot, ranking even above that Green Lotus Sword of Bihuo."

"Then why?" Bai Wu raised an eyebrow, leaving the question hanging.

But the implication was clear: if their ranking was higher than the other party’s, why the humility?

"You!"

Yang Yunheng immediately shot him a glare. Why? Of course, it was because the Green Lotus Sword of Bihuo was just one of the Dao Soldiers shown by that cultivator from the Infinite Dao Imperial Sect, while their own Daozi’s Dao Soldier was the most powerful one he had.

Su Hongxiu withdrew her gaze.

Clearly, the so-called Daoist Soldier Record was not something that included the cultivators of Southern Hong.

She was indeed curious to know what ranking her three Hongmeng Heavenly Soldiers could achieve.

"..."

Shen Yi kept his gaze fixed on the sky. He was certainly interested in the Daoist Soldier Record, but the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace also reminded him of something.

It was about his own Demon Emperor Palace, which had been using demon Dao Pillars to break through, and it had been a long time since he had comprehended anything else. This resulted in a situation where, despite being the same Cultivation Technique, the Immeasurable Demon Emperor Palace seemed like a castle in the air with only a boundary to its name.

A Daoist Technique that almost seems like an Immortal Law... I wonder if I can learn it?

He shook his head and cast a casual glance over the corpse of the black-furred Giant Lion on the ground, his eyes betraying a hint of regret.

Shen Yi truly disliked wasting food.

Especially when it was wasted right in front of him.

He suddenly remembered something else, which was his encounter with the Jin Bird young master and the Green Rhinoceros brothers in Southern Hong, who had come fleeing with their tribe. He wondered if it had anything to do with the actions of the Infinite Dao Imperial Sect.

If so, things could get troublesome.

Shen Yi took a deep breath. Now, he had to fight not just against demons, but also contend with a power that seemed quite formidable for the treasures of the Demon Race?

Lucky he had left early; otherwise, if he had leisurely spent more time in Southern Hong...

He might not even get a bite of leftovers then.

"Fellow Daoists, if there is anything you wish to discuss, please be direct, as I would like to go to Guan Mountain to cultivate in peace." Yan Chongzhang finally suppressed his emotions and smiled at everyone.

"..."

Wei Yuanzhou was somewhat at a loss for words.

They all wanted the help of the Ban Shan Sect.

Could the Seven Sons of South Hong truly compare with the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect?

If Xuan Qing the elder hadn’t had an incident and Southern Hong hadn’t wasted these ten thousand years, under normal circumstances, both might still be comparable top-tier forces... But now, there was a clear gap.

Forcing the Ban Shan Sect to choose would only show a lack of self-awareness.

"I will deal with my matters as soon as possible." Yan Chongzhang, as if sensing Wei Yuanzhou’s concern, pondered for a moment and offered a promise as best he could.

"Then, thank you very much, fellow Daoist." Wei Yuanzhou returned the gesture with a bow.

Yang Yunheng stood silent on the side, seemingly wanting to say something to Yan Chongzhang but never finding the right opportunity.

Just then, this Ban Shan Sect Daozi smiled, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, would you be interested in accompanying me to view that treasure mountain?"

Before his words fell, Yang Yunheng’s face changed dramatically.

He wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
