Chapter 897: Chasing the Path

Time was running out. Although her battle strength had been improving rapidly, her cultivation level hadn’t increased much. She was still stuck at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. This slow progress was something she hadn’t experienced since arriving on the Mystic Void Continent.

After one hour, just as expected, Tian Wuya brought out two more Devil Ghosts, even stronger than the last batch.

The devil ghost struggled fiercely in her grip, but as soon as she let them go, they bolted. They had a degree of intelligence that the previous devil ghost lacked, but as soon as they caught the scent of weaker prey, their eerie glowing eyes appeared through the black mist.

A gust of wind swept through the Nether Ghost Abyss Realm as the devil ghost charged at Amalia.

Without thinking, Amalia reflexively slashed with her blade.

The blade cut through the air, and just as the Devil Ghost neared her, it seemed to sense the threat and tried to retreat. But it was too slow—her blade struck at it first, and with a piercing scream, the devil ghost dissolved.

The other two Devil Ghosts became more cautious, no longer willing to rush forward.

Seeing this, Tian Wuya released another devil ghost.

Now, with three attacking from different directions, the devil ghost no longer hesitated and launched a coordinated assault.

These devil ghost were far stronger than the previous ones. Amalia knew that if they managed to land a hit, she could be seriously injured. She couldn’t afford to let her guard down.

As Amalia fought to grow stronger, far away on the Wild West Continent, Kenny Lin was also watching a mirror.

"Do you see now? She’s working even harder than you. In just two and a half months, she’s managed to kill Devil Ghosts in the Nether Ghost Abyss Realm. Truly a genius," said Master Lian with a smile.

Kenny Lin silently stared at the mirror, watching Amalia’s constantly shifting figure as she fought off the Devil Ghosts. Every time there was a small opening, she would strike with precision.

Each slash of her blade found its mark, hitting a Devil Ghost with unerring accuracy. Her blade and hand seemed to have become one, like a finely-tuned machine.

"So, what do you think?" asked Master Lian with interest, knowing that this disciple never failed to surprise him.

"Yes," Kenny Lin’s eyes lit up as he stared at the mirror.

"What’s your thought?" Master Lian asked, curious.

Kenny Lin pointed at the mirror. "How did you make this? How can you live-stream what’s happening in the Nether Ghost Abyss Realm from so far away?"

Master Lian paused for a moment, then laughed. "You watched all this time, and that’s all you noticed?"

Kenny Lin hesitated. "Well, Amlia is really impressive and I need to catch up to her."

With a wave of Master Lian’s sleeve, the mirror disappeared, and so did his smile. "Continue."

Kenny Lin: "...right."

...

Green Lotus Sect, Main Peak Plaza.

"Back then, when the Great Elder of the back mountain waved his hand, it scared Old Demon Woonyeong and the other powerful cultivators so badly that they fled in panic. They didn’t dare stay for a second longer."

"Really? Is that true?"

"Of course it is! Back then, there weren’t just a few people who saw it—there were at least hundreds of thousands."

"What a shame! If only I had joined the Green Lotus Sect earlier, I could’ve seen it myself."

Four months had passed since the incident with the Life Restoration Heavenly Pill, but it was still a hot topic among the disciples. Whenever new disciples joined, this story was always used as a point of pride.

All of Green Lotus Sect’s disciples took great pride in being part of the sect. In fact, because of this event, more and more cultivators had been joining the Green Lotus Sect lately. Even powerful cultivators had come on their own, hoping to become guest elders of the sect.

"We’ll probably get to see something like that again in the future. After all, it was just the Great Elder back then. Master Lian himself didn’t even make a move," said one disciple, brimming with pride.

"Yeah, I heard that the most powerful cultivator in the Green Lotus Sect is Master Lian. If he had shown up, those wild cultivators like Old Demon Woonyeong wouldn’t have dared to cause any trouble, right?"

"Think, why would the strongest cultivator show up so easily? He has to stay behind to keep everything stable."

"What’s the point of talking about that now? Let’s talk about the upcoming Path of All Immortals instead."

"Right! There’s only one month left before they start choosing participants for the Path of All Immortals. There are so many people who want to join, but I’ve heard that not many people will actually get a spot. Is it really that hard to earn a spot?"

"Of course! That’s why it’s called the Path of All Immortals—it leads to a place for immortals."

"I’m so curious. Even if we can’t participate, can we go and watch? Has anyone ever seen it? Can you describe what it’s like?"

"I haven’t seen it myself, but I’ve heard a bit about the entrance to the Path of All Immortals."

The disciple asked around, but no one had actually witnessed it.

"I heard that to enter the Path of All Immortals, you have to pass through some kind of dangerous place. It’s not for everyone. You all might want to wait. The time between the opening of the path isn’t too long. By the time you’re stronger, you might be able to see it for yourselves," said a senior disciple, speaking from experience.

"Senior Brother, have you seen the Path of All Immortals?" Hearing a possible lead, all the disciples’ eyes lit up, focusing on him.

"Uh..." The senior disciple looked embarrassed, rubbing his nose. "I haven’t seen it. Back then, I was still young and my cultivation wasn’t high enough to even qualify to watch."

The crowd was disappointed. "So, you haven’t seen it either?"

Someone muttered, "He talks like he’s seen it, but he hasn’t."
