Chapter 1343: Chapter 560: The Eight Levels of Wan Ming, Fenming Immortal Monarch_2 Chapter 1343: Chapter 560: The Eight Levels of Wan Ming, Fenming Immortal Monarch_2 “`

Soon, he was led into the Immortal Court, entering one of the Realm Heavens.

Before the division of the Daluo Fairy Court, there were thirty-three Realm Heavens, also known as Heaven Realms. When the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm collapsed, Han Yi was inside and encountered the rampage of the Inverse Tao Aura.

With the fall of the Void Ancient Tao Ancestor, the Daluo fractured, and many of the thirty-three Realm Heavens fell, with the remaining ones inherited by Luotian and the Imperial Court.

Luotian inherited more, with a total of nine Heaven Realms, while the Imperial Court had only seven left.

Of course.

Although Luotian Immortal Court only had nine Realm Heavens left, it didn’t mean there were only nine Immortal Monarchs.

Han Yi was led into the Gale Realm Heaven.

Inside the Gale Realm Heaven, Han Yi met his target for visiting the Luotian Immortal Court this time, Fenming Immortal Monarch.

Fenming Immortal Monarch appeared elderly and not particularly spirited, even if thrown into the Mortal World, one would think he was just an ordinary old man.

But Han Yi dared not underestimate him.

In the information he obtained, the appearance, demeanor, and aura of Fenming Immortal Monarch were exactly like this.

Yet, this Immortal Monarch, who seemed old and frail, once he exploded into action, it was a life-threatening move, even seasoned Immortal Monarchs had difficulty coping with it.

It was precisely because his moves involved risking his life, causing severe depletion of life force, that his appearance became so decrepit.

And hence the Tao Title of Fenming was derived.

Burning Life Force, Fierce Sword Immortal.

In the presence of Fenming Immortal Monarch, Han Yi made his request for a wisp of Fenming Sword Qi, and he was forthright, indicating that his motive for seeking this wisp of Sword Qi was to temper his Sword Heart for his own sword.

This candor of his was also based on the personality of Fenming Immortal Monarch, not arbitrary.

After hearing Han Yi’s words, Fenming Immortal Monarch didn’t immediately respond. He had no prior connection with Han Yi, and now that Han Yi was seeking Sword Qi from him, he was asking for a favor. If granted, it would establish Cause and Effect, which Han Yi would need to repay.

And Cause and Effect, in other words, is a price, a trade in the broader sense.

“My wisp of Sword Qi is not particularly precious.”

“However, a wisp of Sword Qi is also a Cause and Effect. You’re aware of this, right, Dao friend?”

Upon hearing this, a slight movement stirred in Han Yi’s heart.

Fenming Immortal Monarch did not directly address Han Yi by his name, instead treating him as an equal, calling him Dao friend, which felt somewhat peculiar to him.

However, he only found it strange and didn’t give it much thought.

And he was well aware of the necessity to repay Cause and Effect before coming here and readily agreed.

Seeing Han Yi calmly accept, a hint of a smile appeared on the solemn face of Fenming Immortal Monarch. His gaze was profound as he looked at Han Yi, with a different implication, and he continued,

“I have one condition. If Han Dao friend accepts it, this Cause and Effect shall naturally be considered repaid.”

“The condition is simple, not for now, but for the future. When Han Dao friend ascends to an Immortal Monarch, you will need to assist me in killing someone.”

Han Yi’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

The person Fenming Immortal Monarch wished to kill was certainly not simple, likely an Immortal Monarch, and a wisp of Fenming Sword Qi in exchange for assisting in the killing of an Immortal Monarch was not enough for Han Yi.

To say ‘assist’, but once committed, the Cause and Effect are not different from him acting himself.

So, to put it bluntly, the trade is ’cause’ and ‘effect’ unbalanced.

Moreover.

Logically speaking, Fenming Immortal Monarch should also be aware that the price of a wisp of Sword Qi was killing an Immortal Monarch, an excessively high disparity. He certainly shouldn’t be willing to so straightforwardly propose it. Why then would he still do so?

As thoughts whirled, Han Yi was about to refuse, but Fenming Immortal Monarch gestured for him to be patient and continued,

“Han Dao friend, do not hurry to refuse.”

“Within this affair of Cause and Effect, Han Dao friend only needs to assist; the final act of slaying the other party will be carried out by me personally.”

“Moreover, the key point is, the Immortal Monarch I want to kill, you know him. He and you also have some Cause and Effect; your action would not be one of unfounded involvement in Cause and Effect but rather, it would be to conclude Cause and Effect.”

“`

“Fellow Daoist, do you still remember, not long ago, when you clashed with two Immortal Monarchs from the Imperial Court in the Barren Fold Mountains, and one of them was named Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch?”

“The one I seek to kill is Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch.”

As he spoke, a terrifying murderous intent suddenly surged from Fenming Immortal Monarch’s body, like a millennia-old wildfire, startling even Han Yi.

“Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch.”

Han Yi murmured the name, he naturally remembered this Immortal Monarch. At the time, he was fleeing from the Eastern Emperor, traversing the Barren Fold Mountains, planning to use the Imperial Court’s Immortal Court to return to Age Candle, but unexpectedly witnessed Mountain Solitude and Jade Affinity, two Immortal Monarchs, besieging the Celestial Ghost True Body of the Eastern Emperor Unique.

Afterward, he sensed a subtle murderous intent from Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, retreated into the Barren Fold Mountains, and left two phrases that deterred Mountain Solitude and Jade Affinity from pursuing him.

He remembered there were about a dozen Golden Immortals watching the scene at that time.

Fenming Immortal Monarch must have learned of this from a certain Golden Immortal who had revealed it to him, or rather, Fenming Immortal Monarch had assigned a Golden Immortal to stay with Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, ready to pass on information at any time.

Putting the pieces together with the fact that Luotian and Imperial Cliff were both splinters from Daluo, before the split, Fenming and Mountain Solitude had some grudges, which now appeared to be far from simple, but a matter of life and death feud.

Perhaps, they had this deadly enmity even before Daluo split, and at the time, because of the high pressure of the Immortal Court, he could not kill the other party, nor could the other party slay him. After the split, as their strengths became equal, they still could not do anything to each other.

This time, with Han Yi approaching, Fenming Immortal Monarch had a sudden inspiration and then put forth his request.

After hearing Fenming Immortal Monarch’s words, Han Yi initially wanted to refuse since Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, although he did not make a move, was the main person who forced him to retreat back to the Evil World.

Thus, he nodded in agreement, but he also set some harsh terms upfront.

“However.”

“A strand of your Sword Qi is only enough for me to make one move. I’m only responsible for acting at a crucial moment, either to block his escape or to create an opportunity for you, Immortal Monarch.”

“Moreover, whether before or after the event, you must not reveal my identity.”

Han Yi made it clear that if Fenming Immortal Monarch wanted to cut down Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, he could only make one move, and that move would be as a mysterious figure, not as Age Candle Han Yi. After all, if such an incident were to be known, other Immortal Monarchs or Immortal Venerates of Imperial Cliff would surely have their opinions, and who knows what variables might emerge at any time.

Fenming Immortal Monarch nodded his head in agreement:

“Of course.”

Afterward, his aura suddenly surged, he pointed out, and a strand of fiery red Sword Qi, flickering in front of Han Yi.

Han Yi was prepared and reached out to grasp it, his hand covered in a similarly fiery red flame.

Deity Sealing Skill.

Just as in the Tao Tomb World, Han Yi easily sealed the strand of Sword Qi with Divine Force, temporarily storing it in the Divine Aperture World.

Stowing away the Sword Qi, Han Yi’s face revealed a hint of pleasure.

Although the price was not small, the process of upgrading Qingping to a Seventh-order Immortal Sword was now halfway complete.

Furthermore, this halfway point was the hardest part. The upcoming challenges of Abyssal Ghost Sword Qi and Witch Demon Sword Qi tested his own strength and, for him, was actually easier.

Whether it was the Abyssal Ghost Pool or the Sword Formation of Demon Witch Mountain, it all depended on sheer power, and Han Yi was confident that with his current level of cultivation, he could easily gain a strand of Sword Qi.

Leaving Luotian Immortal Court, Han Yi returned to Proluo Immortal City, took the Cross-realm Teleportation Array, and headed south. His destination was Ying Long Immortal Territory.

The other end of the teleportation array was Ying Long Immortal City, the largest Immortal City in Ying Long Immortal Territory.

Ying Long Immortal City was also the location of Ying Long Dojo, the site of Ying Long’s ascension to Immortal Sovereignty.

As a peak Immortal Venerate, Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, along with Qingling Celestial Venerable and Qingxuan Immortal Venerable, occupied the three southern domains of the Immortal Realm, not under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court. This showcased their strength and influence, ranking them among the top in the class of Immortal Venerates.

Han Yi did not linger in Ying Long Immortal City; after leaving the massive city, he headed straight for Demon Witch Mountain.

The master of Demon Witch Mountain was an individual cultivator, who in fact had no Tao Title, but because he had resided in the mountain for a long time, the outside world called him the Master of the Demon Witch Mountain.

The strength of Witch Demon Sword Qi was beyond that of a Golden Immortal, so the outside world conjectured that the Master of Demon Witch Mountain must at least be an Immortal Monarch, and did not exclude the possibility of being an Immortal Venerate.

On Demon Witch Mountain, the Master had set up a Nameless Sword Array, inviting all Sword Immortals from around the world. This Sword Array was composed of Witch Demon Sword Qi, a blend of Heavenly Demon and ancient witchcraft power, fierce beyond comparison.

Demon Witch Mountain was not close to Ying Long Immortal City; it was further south in the Immortal Realm. Before the Sacrificers intervened, gathering and establishing the South Pole ImmortalTerritory, Demon Witch Mountain would have been considered the most perilous place.

It took Han Yi two hours to reach Demon Witch Mountain, where he saw this famous mountain in the Immortal Realm.
