Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

40: Chapter 40: Establishing the Righteous Alliance and Closing the Mountain Gate!Could this person be a descendant of the True Lord?

Xu Gang naturally did not know that You Hun was the evil body, one of the three bodies severed by Gu Yan’s newly mastered Divine Ability, External Incarnation.

This body carried a portion of Gu Yan’s will and seventy percent of his strength; its temperament leaned towards decisive slaughter, being both wicked and eccentric.

Gu Yan had sent it to walk the world and investigate whether there were traces of other immortal cultivators, never expecting it to encounter this matter by chance.

”Playing tricks! Since you’re looking for death, I shall fulfill your wish!”

The Grey-robed Martial Cultivator was enraged by You Hun’s nonchalant attitude. He exchanged a look with his companion, and they both lunged forward simultaneously with perfect coordination!

Attacking from the left and right with surging True Yuan, they unleashed life-risking killing moves from the start, striving for a one-hit kill!

However, facing this fierce pincer attack, You Hun merely let out a soft tsk.

Without seeing him make any grand gesture, his black-clad figure seemed to blur for just an instant.

In the next moment, the Black-robed Martial Cultivator pouncing on him suddenly froze, a thin, barely perceptible red line appearing at his neck.

The ferocity on his face instantly transformed into extreme terror and bewilderment.

He seemed to want to look down, but his head had already tilted and slid off.

Thud!

The headless corpse fell to the ground, blood gushing out like a fountain.

On the other side, the Grey-robed Martial Cultivator maintained his forward charging posture, yet at some point, his chest had been pierced through by a slender, fair palm.

You Hun’s hand emerged from his back, his palm still clutching a slightly throbbing heart that quickly dimmed.

”Ugh... gah...”

The vitality in the Grey-robed Martial Cultivator’s eyes faded rapidly as he stared incredulously at the handsome face inches away.

You Hun smiled, slowly withdrawing his hand and letting the still-warm heart stop beating in his palm.

Then, he tossed it aside like a piece of filth.

He flicked the blood off his hand and cast a half-smiling gaze toward the third person hidden on the other side who had yet to reveal himself.

”I’ve heard that your One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains have many peculiar races. I find myself somewhat interested in that.”

”So, my friend, could I trouble you to lead the way and take me for a tour?”

You Hun’s voice remained calm, even carrying a hint of playfulness.

The third person hiding behind the large tree was already so terrified his teeth were chattering; how could he possibly speak?

”Oh? You don’t want to talk?” You Hun’s smile remained unchanged, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

”Fine, I’ll just take it myself.”

His figure flashed, appearing behind the hidden person like a ghost, his palm lightly covering the man’s crown.

”Soul Search.”

With a soft murmur, a faint ghostly light flickered in his palm.

The Martial Cultivator’s eyes immediately rolled back, his entire body trembling violently like a sieve.

After a moment, You Hun let go, and the man collapsed like a heap of mud.

Though not dead, his Divine Soul was wounded, leaving him an idiot.

”So it’s in that direction...”

Having obtained the location, You Hun suddenly laughed heartily and recited:

”Demons and ghosts run rampant in this turbid world, yet I hold my long sword to question the blue sky.”

”Only when the foul blood is cleansed from the nine heavens, shall the clouds clear to reveal the round moon!”

”Haha, One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, here I, You Hun, come!”

Before the laughter faded, the black-clad figure had already vanished like green smoke, leaving no trace behind.

Only the blood-scented forest and the echoes of those wild, unrestrained verses remained, drifting through the valley.

Xu Gang forced himself to sit up, looking at the carnage before him, feeling a bone-chilling cold.

That You Hun’s strength was unfathomable, and his methods were ruthless and eerie.

His face actually bore some resemblance to Longevity True Lord... the implications of this connection were terrifying to contemplate.

He didn’t dare think too deeply, knowing this matter was of great importance.

The priority was to report back to the Sect immediately!

Suppressing his injuries and shock, he did his best to comfort the frightened children, saying:

”Don’t be afraid, the villains have been eliminated. We’re going back to the Sect at once!”

...

After Xu Gang endured his injuries to rush back to the Sect, he immediately reported the encounter with You Hun,

recounting everything in detail to his Master, Qin Su, and the Xuan Chenzi, Xuan Chenzi.

When Xuan Chenzi finished listening to Xu Gang’s account—especially hearing that You Hun’s face resembled Longevity True Lord’s while his methods were ruthless and eerie—

he exchanged a look with Qin Su, a flash of deep meaning and gravity appearing in both their eyes.

After a moment of silence, Xuan Chenzi spoke slowly: ”Since You Hun did not make things difficult for you and the Immortal Sprouts, but instead intervened to resolve the danger and kill the invaders...”

”You should treat this matter as if you never knew about it and do not mention it to anyone else.”

Though doubts churned in Xu Gang’s heart, he still respectfully complied: ”This Disciple understands.”

He knew well that some matters were far beyond what a Disciple of his level could touch or speculate upon.

...

Inside the Immortal Cave on Longevity Peak.

Through their mental connection, Gu Yan naturally knew everything the evil body, You Hun, had done.

”The One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains... they want to replace the Great Gan, yet they come to provoke my Taiyi Dao Sect first?”

Gu Yan shook his head, finding it quite absurd.

”Aren’t you supposed to pick the softest persimmons to squeeze? Does my Taiyi Dao Sect look like an easy target?”

He couldn’t understand these people’s logic, but he didn’t care to look into it deeply.

The evil body’s nature was like that, killing according to its heart; it was perfect for exploring the outside world on his behalf.

Early the next morning, Xuan Chenzi Xuan Chenzi and Grand Elder Yun Chenzi visited together.

Gu Yan led the two into his Immortal Cave.

As soon as Xuan Chenzi and Yun Chenzi stepped inside, they felt their bodies clear as dense and pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi washed over them, far stronger than in the outside world.

Just taking a few breaths made the thin spiritual power in their bodies feel a bit more active.

”The True Lord’s residence is truly an immortal’s cave, a blessed land on earth,” Yun Chenzi couldn’t help but sigh with genuine emotion.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and sitting down, Xuan Chenzi Xuan Chenzi stated their purpose, his words inevitably revealing some anxiety regarding the You Hun matter from yesterday.

After a moment’s thought, Gu Yan said directly: ”There is no need for you two to worry.”

”That You Hun is one of the External Incarnations I recently severed after mastering a Divine Ability. He embodies evil thoughts and killing intent, and his specific duty is to walk the world for me to investigate if there are other immortal cultivators.”

”As for the enemies from the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, they are merely a minor nuisance. Since You Hun has already headed there, leave it to him to handle.”

”However, their designs on the Great Gan require some attention.”

Xuan Chenzi and the other were first startled, then enlightened, the heavy stone in their hearts finally falling away.

So that terrifying and eerie You Hun was actually an Incarnation of Longevity True Lord!

Amidst their shock, they couldn’t help but feel even more awe for the True Lord’s methods.

After a moment, Yun Chenzi stroked his beard and pondered: ”The forces of the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains truly lack common sense.”

”If they want to plot against the Great Gan, they should just go ahead and do it. Why must they provoke our Taiyi Dao Sect?”

Xuan Chenzi added: ”True Lord, after this incident, my Junior Martial Uncle and I have discussed a long-term strategy.”

”Since our Sect has received your true immortal legacy, our focus should shift in the future.”

”Why don’t my Junior Martial Uncle and I go to the Imperial City of the Central Prefecture in Great Gan to try and contact various righteous Sects and form an alliance?”

”Firstly, we can gather strength to deal with external threats like the One Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.”

”Secondly, it will allow our Taiyi Dao Sect to gradually fade into the background, close our mountain gates, and focus on cultivating the Great Dao, lest a tall tree attracts the wind and draws unwanted attention.”
