The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Guangyuan Zi

Though Shen Mo still had many doubts in his heart, he at least understood Guangyuan Zi’s reason for hiding in the Lower Realm.

Originally, he thought such a figure, splitting nearly a billion incarnations to hide from the world, must either be cultivating some remarkable Immortal Law or Skill or have an unknown world-shaking plot. Yet, the reason turned out to be ”hiding out of fear,” which left him speechless!

In any case, the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms is a chessboard he painstakingly crafted to deal with Lord Blue Venerable, not allowing such a huge variable as Guangyuan Zi.

”I dare to ask the senior to leave this domain!” Shen Mo bowed respectfully to Guangyuan Zi, his tone sincere.

Guangyuan Zi seemed a bit annoyed, angrily saying: ”Earlier, fellow daoist threatened my millions of incarnations, forcing me to reveal my real body, and I have not even disputed with you yet. Now you want to drive me away... do you know this realm is my birthplace? Furthermore, I have been secluded here for eighty thousand years, saying I’m half an owner isn’t an exaggeration. Your actions are like breaking into someone else’s house in the middle of the night, slapping the sleeping owner awake, then driving him out while claiming the house for yourself. Truly unreasonable!”

Shen Mo repeatedly bowed, explaining kindly, ”With senior’s capabilities, you should be able to foresee that in a few years this realm’s nine realms will become a battlefield. If senior continues to reside here, you’ll inevitably be drawn into it!”

”Hmm? That old madwoman Lord Blue Venerable!” After calculating for a moment, Guangyuan Zi’s expression slightly changed, looking a bit resentfully at Shen Mo, ”This tribulation is brought by you, the ones who should leave are you, not me. No matter what, I’m not leaving.”

”In that case, I must apologize.” Shen Mo sighed deeply.

The next moment, the God Slaying Array located at the mountain gate subsidiary courtyard erupted with terrifying might, enveloping more than half of the Dragon Claw Realm, making the firmament of this realm appear bloodily dim and bleak.

Feeling the astonishing aura from afar, Guangyuan Zi’s expression showed surprise: ”You haven’t even cultivated into a True Immortal, yet you dare to confront me?”

”With my minimal cultivation level, naturally I can’t kill senior. But giving up cultivation and fate, abandoning everything completely, with full exertion, I can thoroughly destroy these nine Lower Realms. Once all nine realms decay and merge into the Death Ghost Realm, no matter how high senior’s cultivation level, you won’t withstand the Death Ghost Realm’s erosion, ultimately perishing here!”

If Shen Mo were to use Blood Sacrifice magic to operate the Soul Generals Array, he could indeed instantly destroy the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms.

After all, the current Soul Generals Array is not inferior in level and scale to that grand array laid out by Hallow Venerable in his time, and Hallow Venerable nearly killed Jade Spring Fairy through Blood Sacrifice means.

Once Shen Mo does this, the Horned Flood Dragon Nine Realms will immediately shatter and decay, unlike Primordial Realm, Cancering Realm, and others gradually declining, being eroded by Death Ghost Realm. It will almost give no time for reaction, immediately plunging into the Death Ghost Realm, where even True Immortal figures find it hard to escape death!

Shen Mo didn’t genuinely want to fight to the death with Guangyuan Zi, but rather to let him know that he has the means to perish together.

Before coming to the Lower Realm, he did not know a powerful Earth Immortal was residing here, otherwise he would have surely chosen another place;

Now, after nearly a century of hard work and countless time and effort, seeing success around the corner, he naturally has no intention to abandon his efforts for the suddenly appearing Guangyuan Zi!

Guangyuan Zi quietly calculated for a long time, muttering, ”Madmen, all madmen. Lord Blue Venerable is an old madwoman, and you’re just as mad. I’ve had enough of you all; I’ll leave, I’ll leave, isn’t that enough?”

As soon as the words fell, the figures of dozens of demon heads and over two hundred people looting furiously in Wuji Palace slowly dimmed, as if their presence in the world was being gradually erased.

The cultivators fighting them, along with nearby people, momentarily dazed, directly ignored their existence.

A similar scene happens in every corner of the nine worlds in the Constellations of Horned Flood Dragon, the ninety-nine hundred million immortals and mortals of all genders, old and young, beggars and nobles, righteous path cultivators and evil path people, from those just stepping onto the Immortal Path in the Body Tempering Realm to famous Golden Core True Masters... except for Shen Mo, others had no awareness of what was happening.

The humpbacked old man in front of Shen Mo also began to fade, his gaze falling on Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong, seemingly with some reluctance.

Since Guangyuan Zi revealed his real body, Tu Lin and Rongrong’s Daoist body and soul were imprisoned by him through spell, unable to perceive anything happening externally, still standing rooted in place like two stumps of wood!

”Rest assured, senior, I will take care of these two little ones for you!” Shen Mo showed a hint of relaxation on his face, bidding farewell to Guangyuan Zi.

”Bah! Bah bah... what bullshit, I’m not dead yet.”

”These two youngsters have no relation to me; if you wish to care for them, then do so. Why mention it to me! What I’m worried about is these nine worlds; after all, I’ve lived here for tens of thousands of years. Even for the flowers and grass, sand and stones, I’ve developed some affection.”

”When you duel in magic with that old madwoman, be sure not to damage these worlds. When I return from the Heavenly Gateway, I’ll continue living here.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo felt a slight shock in his heart, couldn’t help but ask: ”Is senior Guangyuan about to step into the Immortal Realm?”

Guangyuan Zi sighed leisurely, saying: ”Yes, over these years, my cultivation level has again risen somewhat. Now, I am complete in merit, forgetful of form, Yin exhausted and Yang pure. Once I go to the Immortal Realm, I can transcend essence and ascend to immortality, joining the ranks of the Divine Immortals.”

”Then, if I don’t go to guard the portal, this universe world can’t contain me!”

”After hiding for over eighty thousand years, ultimately, I couldn’t avoid it. Actually, even if you hadn’t come here, in a few years, I would be forced out by this universe world, compelled to reveal my real body and undergo immortal tribulation.”

”I hope my dear friends haven’t all passed away, otherwise guarding the celestial gate alone will be too solitary!”

A complex expression flashed in Shen Mo’s eyes as he cupped his hands and said, ”I wish you a successful journey, senior, quickly cultivate fully, be granted the heavenly book, achieve insight alongside creation, endure throughout eternity, and accomplish the supreme of the supreme in Immortal Ascension!”

With a burst of laughter, Guangyuan Zi’s figure completely vanished.

Simultaneously, Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong, who were spellbound, also freed from imprisonment.

”Senior Yuan... hmm? Who is Senior Yuan?”

Confusion appeared on Tu Lin’s face but quickly threw aside his miscellaneous thoughts, turned to the girl next to him and said, ”Sister Rongrong, my vitality has been exhausted, and the Elixirs we hold are nearly used up. It’s time for us to leave. I want first to go to the Black Fog Forest to relocate my Master’s remains back to Qingfeng Temple for reburial and thoroughly worship them!”

”That’s good. Let us first return to Xinmao City, following the river upstream for quicker progress!”
