The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: Xuanku Ceases, Preparing for Migration

The Dharma Body of Xuanku Patriarch snorted out a toxic smoke flame, a testament to his inner fury, but he soon calmed down.

After this exchange, although he found it inexplicable, he had to admit that Shen Mo’s combat strength was now equal to his own. Continuing the fight wouldn’t yield any advantage and might even result in the damage of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lock, this celestial artifact, and his current Dharma Body!

With the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lock damaged, using it now to seal the spirit veins and earth meridians would inevitably be flawed, allowing Shen Mo to exploit this leak to mobilize nature’s spiritual energy and disaster power, making his strength even greater than before.

Moreover, Xuanku noticed that, as time passed, he could use fewer and fewer magical abilities, increasingly constrained by some indescribable power.

As one decreases and the other increases, the situation would just become more unfavorable for him, ultimately leading to an outright defeat.

Though he came with only a Dharma Body, which, even if destroyed, wouldn’t endanger his life, the Dharma Body is closely related to cultivation level. Once cut, he’d lose at least a thousand years of cultivation, perhaps dropping a minor realm.

Besides, the Spirit Lock’s current damage isn’t severe. If repaired and nurtured timely, it could be restored in about a hundred years, but if it receives any more attacks of the previous intensity, it might shatter into pieces, causing even the Artifact Spirit to collapse. Even if fixed, its grade would drop.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xuanku Patriarch reabsorbed the smoke and flame back into his nose, then gestured with a hand.

The celestial charm of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lock circulated and vanished into the void, only to reappear outside of the suppressive force of the Soul Generals Array, falling into the claw-like palm of Xuanku Patriarch’s Dharma Body!

Then, Xuanku Patriarch spat out a tongue, red and covered in bone spikes, wrapping the celestial lock to swallow it into his belly, his blood-red eyes looking at Shen Mo, smoke rolling from his nose: ”Boy, you do have some skills. If my real body wasn’t undergoing the Three Disasters and Six Tribulations, preventing me from going out, I’d ensure you were slain here; I wouldn’t let you run wild like this. Take those flower demons and get out of Cangwu Continent!”

With these words, he turned without a glance, heading towards Kungu Island.

From a distance, Wu Lan hurriedly flew up, riding the black mist cloud, following respectfully behind Xuanku Patriarch’s Dharma Body: ”Master, it’s too easy letting that boy go, and letting him take the Flower Fairy clan too—isn’t that too lenient?”

The Dharma Body of Xuanku Patriarch paused slightly, abruptly turning, observing Wu Lan with his eerie blood-red gaze.

Just as Wu Lan was feeling a chill, regretting her words, Xuanku Patriarch swung a slap, sending her thousands of miles away.

Her figure plummeted like a meteor, heavily crashing into the earth, destroying an underground nest of insect demons.

”Useless fool, can’t even handle a small matter. Had you taken the flower demon’s lair, that boy wouldn’t have gotten involved. How dare you spout nonsense in front of me,” Xuanku Patriarch angrily said.

”Didn’t you also withdraw defeated?”

Wu Lan felt some grievance in her heart, but she only dared think it and didn’t dare say it out loud.

She then struggled up from the ruins filled with insect carcasses. Fortunately, Xuanku Patriarch’s strike seemed heavy but had spared her; her Daoist body and mind suffered only some shock—nothing severe. After casting spells to suppress the injuries, she rode escaping light to follow him again.

...

Shen Mo didn’t attempt to stop the master and disciple’s departure; he came to Cangwu Continent to rescue the Flower Fairy clan, not to become mortal enemies with a True Immortal!

While Xuanku Patriarch’s words before leaving seemed very strong, they were essentially giving himself an exit; he didn’t even mention revenge, indicating he likewise didn’t want a lethal conflict over Fairy Flower Valley and lost face.

”A pragmatic one, but a Demon True Immortal, we don’t share paths!”

Shen Mo shook the blood flag, retracting the Soul Generals Array, clearing the skies instantly. Then he dispelled his Three-headed Six-armed form and consumed several grade six elixirs to restore the severely depleted Mana within him.

As his escaping light landed in Fairy Flower Valley, the Flower Fairies inside were jubilant, transformed into countless fireflies, fluttering between the flowers and spirit wood, passionately expressing their post-crisis excitement and joy, creating a beautiful, dream-like scene.

As Shen Mo’s figure appeared, each Flower Fairy, regardless of realm, flapped their wings and flew up, surrounding him.

Since there were quite a few Flower Fairies of minor cultivation levels, Shen Mo had to carefully restrain his exuberant spirit energy to prevent them from being affected by his Essence and Qi radiation and transforming into neither demon nor human monsters!

Mi managed to squeeze through a large crowd of Flower Fairies, flying onto Shen Mo’s shoulder, first rubbing his cheeks with her wings, then with hands on her hips, proudly chirping to the other Flower Fairies; after spending years with her, Shen Mo, with his powerful soul and high Wisdom Basic Destiny, knew the Flower Fairy language, understanding that Mi was boasting to the other Flower Fairies about his prowess and achievements.

Without Mi’s boasting, the expressions and looks of the Flower Fairies spoke volumes about their admiration for Shen Mo; had the Flower Fairy clan practiced worship, his feet would probably have been covered in them now.

Nevertheless, they offered their treasured nectar Spirit Fruit and performed a splendid fairy dance, expressing their gratitude next to the Mother Tree.

After the commotion, all the Flower Fairies busied themselves.

They cast spells, transplanting the valley’s flowers and spiritual plants into several Golden Flowery Realms, and what couldn’t fit was sent into Shen Mo’s Sword Zone.

Shen Mo sought the opinions of Yao, Jia, and other clan leaders, who were also inclined to leave Cangwu Continent; considering they had offended Xuanku Patriarch, staying would eventually lead to capture. Shen Mo couldn’t always watch over Fairy Flower Valley.

Thus, Shen Mo invited the Flower Fairy clan to move to Five Dragon Mountain.

With the Earth Yuan Array, they can be protected, and the Flower Fairies, adept at cultivating spiritual plants, could provide Red Flame Sect with abundant high-class spiritual medicine, benefiting both sides!

Yet, the forbidden land of Fairy Flower Valley, developed over the years, couldn’t be moved.

Due to the heavy and expansive world of the Immortal Realm, with the limited power of Yao and other high-class Flower Fairies, they couldn’t push the forbidden land to the Outer Zone, nor towards Five Dragon Mountain.

Though Shen Mo could move the forbidden land, he wasn’t the Protector of Fairy Flower Valley—unconnected to it, he could only use the Mountain-moving Whip to relocate the earth meridians and Immortal Mountain. But the distance to Phoenix Continent is too far, requiring at least a hundred years—not worth it!

Once Yao and Jia, the two sixth grade Flower Fairies, reach a higher cultivation level, they can return and apply spells to move the entire Fairy Flower Valley.
