Yellow Court Daoist

Chapter 197 - 185: 3 Years Later, Demon Suppressing Mountain!

Certainly.

These two individuals also have considerable renown among the True Immortals of the Upper Realm.

Yet in their descent to the mortal world, they remained dormant until just before their Core Formation stage, barely revealing themselves, leaving Lu Qingfeng knowing very little about them.

"Go on, tell me more."

Lu Qingfeng became interested and prompted.

Master Xuan Music pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and began to narrate smoothly.

It turned out that both Chen Shang and Luo Ming were top talents of one realm. Not only did they dominate one realm, but they also cut through brambles and thorns to ascend as True Immortals and ascended to the Upper Realm. Once there, they joined the Thunder Department, became disciples under the Demon-breaking Thunder God and the Flying Heaven Star Suppressing God, and were highly valued.

The Demon-breaking Thunder God and the Flying Heaven Star Suppressing General were just among the Divine Generals with thousands of soldiers under their command.

With Chen Shang and Luo Ming, by leveraging their command of troops, they made repeated contributions within the Thunder Department. Chen Shang and Luo Ming also gained fame because of this and stood out among the many True Immortals of the Thunder Department.

In the eyes of the various Thunder Department Gods, there was quite a hope to attain the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.

That they would descend to the mortal world in the same reincarnation as them was something that Xuan Music and the other two had not anticipated.

"It seems these two have great ambitions; their descent to the mortal, this time, must be aimed at the opportunities within the Changqing Realm. They want to rise with the tide and seek to achieve the highest realm in one realm; they not only want to attain Earth Immortalhood but also to strive for the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit!"

Master Zi Qi spoke, his eyes flashing with astounding fighting spirit.

"Earth Immortal!"

"Heavenly Immortal!"

Both Xuan Music and Chang Lin's eyes shone with light.

Of the True Immortals who descended this time, which one wouldn't desire to attain the Dao Fruits of Earth and even Heavenly Immortals? Upon returning to the Upper Realm, one would immediately become a Divine General of the Thunder Department on par with their own master ancestors, or even a Thunder Department God.

A revered status, with troops pouring in like rain.

That is the true prestige, revered by ten thousand gods.

However, very few True Immortals who had hope of attaining the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit were willing to risk the peril of descending into mortal reincarnation.

After all, in this life, they were already in reach of Earth Immortality. Descending adds many dangers, let alone that it differs from the previous life.

Take Chang Fengzi and Chang Qi for example.

Both were True Immortals of the heavens once, who fell into the dust of the mortal realm, dreaming of going even higher.

In the end, they fell at the hands of Lower Realm Mortal Cultivators.

Possibilities of entering the cycle of reincarnations and eternally sinking are extremely high. If they encountered a True Immortal, a mortal cultivator like Lu Qingfeng could extinguish them with a single thought.

Therefore.

Like Chang Lin True Immortal, like Master Zi Qi, like Master Xuan Music, who were nearing the end of their Life Spans and had no hopes of enlightenment, they would contend for the rare opportunity in the Changqing Realm, fight desperately, and reincarnate into the mortal world.

Success would mean becoming an Immortal God in the heavens in another life.

Failure would mean becoming dust for all eternity.

Chen Shang and Luo Ming were different.

They really had great courage; they had hopes of attaining Earth Immortality and achieving everlasting life, yet they chose to descend into the mortal world. Willing to face incredible risks, presumably not just for the sake of an Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.

Heavenly Immortal!

That was their true pursuit!

"Great courage, great resolve."

"When I have the time, I indeed should meet these two True Immortals."

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but become curious.

Those who had such courage and could swiftly rise in the lower realm surely had extraordinary aspects. He has been leading the world alone for two hundred years since he descended, feeling quite lonely.

Now there was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, making Lu Qingfeng's heart fluctuate for once.

...

With thoughts in his mind.

Opportunity came soon after.

The Changqing Realm.

Master Soul

Lu Qingfeng looked at Black Mountain before him, his expectations also burgeoning from the details he learned from the trio.

Spirit Void Practitioners moved with speed.

All practitioners from Soul Searching Temple rode spiritual birds, arriving at the foot of Black Mountain in a flash upon seeing it.

By this time, groups of cultivators had already gathered outside Black Mountain.

"Five-colored Flying Phoenix! It's Soul Searching Temple!"

"The green-robed Daoist must be Master Guang Yuan. Living up to his reputation as The World's First Immortal, he truly appears elegant and distinguished!"

"That's for sure. It's said that Master Guang Yuan, despite not being a Reincarnated True Immortal, can suppress many Reincarnated True Immortals, which is really impressive."

"Apart from Master Guang Yuan, Soul Searching Temple has also brought sixteen Spirit Void Practitioners. Such a move is worthy of the world's number one Immortal Sect!"

...

The arrival of Soul Searching Temple immediately caused an uproar.

Whether it was the renown of Soul Searching Guangyuan or the influence of Soul Searching Temple itself, both were the strongest in the Changqing Realm.

Every single action was closely watched by the people.

Yet as strong as they were, their popularity was indeed very poor.

The various Immortal Sects that had arrived early stayed put, merely observing from the sidelines, but did not come forward to greet them.

One reason was that Lu Qingfeng had traveled through the Seven Countries in the past, stepping over various Spiritual Mountains, forcibly borrowing Cultivation Techniques, seizing Spiritual Objects, and forming rivalries.

Another reason was that Lu Qingfeng, merely a mortal cultivator, was able to suppress the various Reincarnated True Immortals. These Immortal Sects' True Immortals felt humiliated and prideful, naturally not going forward to welcome them.

With Reincarnated True Immortals serving as the pillars of the Immortal Sects, if they remained still, the sects themselves naturally would not act.

Lu Qingfeng, however, paid them no mind and was merely assessing Black Mountain before him.

Black Mountain stood tall.

It was awe-inspiring from afar.

Approaching it, one felt as though Divine Mountain had settled in the heart, bringing with it a sonorous heaviness.

The original dense fog was gradually thinning, becoming sparser. Following this trend, in at most one or two months, it would completely dissipate.

At this time, many cultivators and various Immortal Sects gathered outside Black Mountain, clearly awaiting the moment when the fog fully lifted before venturing into Black Mountain to explore the unknown.

Lu Qingfeng led the practitioners of Soul Searching Temple and occupied the nearest mountain peak outside Black Mountain.

Previously, this mountain peak was occupied by the group from Seven Insect Immortal Mountain.

Upon Lu Qingfeng's arrival, he forcibly took it over. The lingering prestige from Master Guang Yuan decades ago, when he first killed Chang Qi, then seized the inheritance, was still potent. The Seven Insect Immortal Mountain dared not voice their anger and meekly retreated.
