Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

143: Chapter 143 If he comes to the Eastern Continent, then kill him.Inside the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, the years were peaceful and quiet.

Another six years passed, and Gu Yan’s cultivation Realm reached the third level of the True Immortal Realm.

...

Spirit Realm, Eastern Continent, Tianyan Dao Sect.

In the main peak’s great hall, two people sat facing each other.

One was a Grand Elder of the Tianyan Dao Sect, in the Late Stage of the Mahayana Realm, with white hair and a white beard.

The other was the Old Ancestor of the Sect, named Ancestor of the Sect, with a cultivation at the Early Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

At this moment, the Grand Elder was holding a teacup, his brows tightly furrowed.

”Old Ancestor, the Southern Border side is about to collapse.”

”That Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord, with his Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation and his unpredictable Myriad Tribulations Demonic Technique, was beaten into a retreat by the Bull Demon King, losing his armor and equipment.”

The Grand Elder shook his head, ”It’s said that in last month’s battle, the Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord’s life-bound demonic artifact was shattered, and he himself was severely injured. He is now hiding in the depths of the Southern Border, holding out behind the mountain-protecting formation that the Demonic Cult has operated for years.”

Ancestor of the Sect picked up his teacup and took a sip: ”That Bull Demon King indeed has some skill.”

”More than just some skill?” The Grand Elder gave a bitter smile.

”Old Ancestor, you haven’t seen that fellow strike with your own eyes. I heard from Cultivators who fled from the front lines that the Bull Demon King simply doesn’t talk reason when he fights.”

”Whatever Divine Ability, Mystical Arts, or Formation, he throws a punch, and it all shatters.”

”The path of becoming a saint through the Physical Body?”

”Yes.” The Grand Elder nodded, ”Pure physical Divine Ability, overbearing to the extreme.”

Ancestor of the Sect was silent for a moment, then asked: ”In your view, how much longer can the Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord hold out?”

”At most a year or half a year. Once the Myriad Tribulations Demon Lord falls, the Southern Border will completely fall into the Bull Demon King’s hands.”

As the Grand Elder spoke, his voice lowered slightly: ”Old Ancestor, I’ve also heard rumors... the Bull Demon King’s next target is our Eastern Continent.”

Ancestor of the Sect’s hand holding the teacup paused slightly.

”Are the rumors reliable?”

”Reliable. I have several informants in the Southern Border, and the messages they’ve sent back all say that the Bull Demon King has recently been inquiring about the situation in the Eastern Continent.”

”Those little demon brats under him are capturing Eastern Continent Cultivators everywhere for interrogation, asking which top-tier forces we have in the Eastern Continent and which old monsters are in charge.”

The Grand Elder continued: ”And I also heard one more thing, that Bull Demon King seems to be looking for someone.”

”Looking for someone?”

”Yes, a Cultivator of the Human Race named Ye Chen.” The Grand Elder frowned as he recalled.

”It’s said that Ye Chen was originally imprisoned by him in a cave, but later somehow escaped and came to the Eastern Continent.”

”The Bull Demon King has declared that once he conquers the Southern Border, he will come to the Eastern Continent to find this kid.”

Ancestor of the Sect raised an eyebrow: ”Attacking a whole continent for the sake of one person?”

”Of course it’s not just for one person. The Bull Demon King is attacking the Southern Border for territory, for resources, and for food.”

”Now that the Southern Border is almost finished, he naturally needs to find the next place.”

”The Eastern Continent is wealthy, with rich Spiritual Qi, numerous Schools, and many people. In the eyes of the Yao Race, we are all walking meat.”

Ancestor of the Sect was silent.

After a long while, he spoke and asked: ”What do you think?”

The Grand Elder gave a bitter smile, his tone tinged with helplessness: ”Old Ancestor, if I could see a way out, I wouldn’t have come to disturb your quiet cultivation.”

”Our Tianyan Dao Sect is at the top of the Eastern Continent, occupying several of the best Spiritual Veins. If that Bull Demon King really attacks, we will be the first to bear the brunt.”

”Even if the Demon Slaying Alliance formed years ago to oppose the Southern Border’s Myriad Tribulations Demonic Cult still exists and all members strike together, I’m afraid they might not be a match for that Bull Demon King.”

”If we fight, even if we win, our Origin Qi will surely be greatly damaged.”

”If we don’t fight...” He sighed again.

”If we don’t fight, we can only relocate the Sect. But relocate the Sect where? To the Central Plains?”

”But in the Central Plains, what good blessed lands are still waiting for us?”

Ancestor of the Sect also said helplessly: ”Indeed, those good places in the Central Plains were carved up long ago by those ancient great Sects.”

”If we go there, we either have to snatch someone else’s territory or pick up the scraps that others don’t want.”

The Grand Elder was silent.

After a moment, he sighed faintly: ”What a pity...”

”What’s a pity?”

”A pity for our Sect’s supreme treasure, the heavenly heart enlightenment lotus.” A trace of regret flashed in the Grand Elder’s eyes.

”Old Ancestor, do you still remember? That Senior Lord Long back then...”

Ancestor of the Sect nodded: ”I remember.”

”That heavenly heart enlightenment lotus is a true treasure of heaven and earth. If it were still in our hands, with this treasure, even if we moved to the Central Plains and found just any place with decent Spiritual Qi, we could slowly nurture a top-tier blessed land.”

Hearing this, Ancestor of the Sect’s expression straightened slightly: ”Watch your words.”

The Grand Elder was startled.

Ancestor of the Sect looked at him, his tone solemn: ”That Senior Lord Long didn’t take our things for nothing.”

”When he left, he gave us a dragon talisman, saying it contained nine of his Fist Gangs, capable of slaying someone in the Late Stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.”

”I tested the power of this Talisman before. In my view, those words were no lie.”

The Grand Elder was silent for a long time, and light gradually dawned in his eyes.

”Old Ancestor means...”

”I mean, if that Bull Demon King really dares to come to the Eastern Continent, we might not be unable to fight.” Ancestor of the Sect picked up his teacup.

...

Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, Hall of Longevity.

Gu Yan held the haotian mirror, watching with great interest.

”Interesting, this old Daoist is quite calculating.”

He originally just wanted to take a casual look at the current situation in the Spirit Realm, and happened to stumble upon this scene at the Tianyan Dao Sect.

He had some impression of that Talisman in Ancestor of the Sect’s hand.

Years ago, when Lord Long traveled the Spirit Realm, he had indeed visited the Tianyan Dao Sect.

That heavenly heart enlightenment lotus...

Gu Yan thought for a moment; there did indeed seem to be such a thing.

He waved his hand, and the scene outside the Hall of Longevity appeared before him.

The heavenly palace was majestic, with continuous halls and pavilions. Amidst the swirling clouds, palaces could be seen faintly floating in the Void Realm.

Around the Hall of Longevity, various types of exotic flowers and rare plants were planted.

Immortal lotuses bloomed, spiritual vines entwined, precious trees swayed, and divine medicines exhaled fragrance.

On the roof of one of the side halls, a lotus flower was planted.

That lotus was crystal clear throughout; it was precisely the heavenly heart enlightenment lotus.

Gu Yan glanced at the lotus and was silent for a moment.

This thing... it seems Lord Long snatched it from them?

Cough, no, it should have been exchanged.

Gu Yan thought for a bit, and with a slight movement of his mind, a wisp of Divine Thought passed through the grotto-heaven’s barrier and descended into the Spirit Realm.

Spirit Realm, Eastern Continent, atop a solitary peak.

Ghost sat cross-legged in a stone pavilion, holding an ancient book, engrossed in reading.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He put down the ancient book, stood up, and bowed slightly toward the Void Realm: ”I shall follow your instructions. I will slay him at the appropriate time.”

Gu Yan, far away in the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, withdrew his Divine Thought, his gaze lowering slightly.

The instruction he gave to Ghost was very simple: if that Bull Demon King really attacks the Eastern Continent, find an opportunity to secretly slay him.
