Chapter 952: Chapter 944: Jinglan Brings Calamity to the World

"Jinglan Immortal!"

A cry of astonishment came from the distant mountains, and these three words caused an uproar among the other mountains.

Lu Lingjun’s face changed slightly; it was evident she had heard of Jinglan Immortal’s name before.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor widened his serpent eyes and said, "Is it the Immortal God who subdued the True Dragon Clan Crown Prince? Oh no, this is a big problem, Spirit Monarch, should we retreat?"

Many years ago, Jinglan Immortal descended to the Lower Realm, subdued the True Dragon Clan Crown Prince, forcing the True Dragon Clan into rebellion against him. Unfortunately, the True Dragon Clan was suppressed by the mysterious existence behind him. This incident spread across the world, causing all living beings to fear Jinglan Immortal.

Jinglan Immortal was different from other Immortal Gods; he stayed in the Human World, acted tyrannically, and caused many disturbances.

Seeing him arrive at the Origin Great Vein, all the creatures participating in this Dao Debate Meeting realized something was amiss.

Judging by Jinglan Immortal’s tone, he was clearly up to no good.

Standing on the back of a Golden Dragon, Jinglan Immortal’s stance was arrogant. He looked down on the Origin Seven-Colored Pearl, his eyes sharp, and a golden light shot out from the center of his forehead, traversing the sky and directly shattering the Origin Seven-Colored Pearl hanging above the mountains.

A multicolored storm swept in all directions, and the two people battling inside stopped one after another.

Lv Xian, dressed in Golden Silk White Clothes, focused his gaze, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed. At a glance, he saw Jinglan Immortal standing on the Golden Dragon.

It was his first time seeing Jinglan Immortal, and the aura surrounding the other immediately led him to a judgment.

Unbeatable!

His opponent, a middle-aged Daoist, also looked cautiously toward Jinglan Immortal.

Jinglan Immortal glanced disdainfully at Lv Xian and his companion, directing his gaze further away. Following his gaze, at the end of the mountains, waves seemed to rise as if to reach the Celestial Vault, a truly magnificent sight.

More and more creatures noticed the distant phenomenon, many showing excitement.

"Is the legendary Origin God about to appear? Is a great battle about to break out next?" the White Spirit Demon Emperor asked excitedly.

Lu Lingjun furrowed her brows, whispering, "Not necessarily, after all, those Great Powers of the Origin Dojo remain seated firmly on the mountain tops. The appearance of the Origin God is likely to prevent the upcoming conflict."

She looked at Jinglan Immortal’s immortal posture, her eyes full of yearning.

She always had a strong competitive spirit. Though she had ascended several times and was knowledgeable, Jinglan Immortal still amazed her.

Jinglan Immortal’s presence exuded absolute confidence and disdain for the entire world.

She had seen many immortals, but she always felt they were pretending, holding back their true selves, whereas Jinglan Immortal was different. His arrogance matched her vision of an immortal.

Though she aspired to become an Immortal God, she also felt displeased with Jinglan Immortal’s attitude.

She seemed like an ant at Jinglan Immortal’s feet, not worth mentioning at all.

Lu Lingjun took a deep breath and said, "Let’s go."

With that, she turned and left.

"With Ancestor Master Wushi here, we should be safe even if we stay, right?" the White Spirit Demon Emperor asked.

Lu Lingjun replied without looking back, "No point, we came for the opportunity at this Dao Debate Meeting, but the appearance of Jinglan Immortal will surely ruin it."

The White Spirit Demon Emperor fell silent, turning his head to look at the enormous Golden Dragon, which seemed as vast as a Giant Mountain, while Jinglan Immortal atop it, though not large, exuded the dominant aura of a ruler looking down upon all living beings.

Every encounter with a true Immortal God left the White Spirit Demon Emperor with a sense of awe.

The Heavenly Dao pressure of an Immortal God made it instinctively feel reverence.

It even felt somewhat confused, seemingly no matter how much it cultivated, it could not compare to an Immortal God.

"Such an aura, it’s worth my journey, Origin God, battle me; if you win, you shall have the opportunity to ascend to immortality, and if you lose, you will become a slave spirit in my hands!"

Jinglan Immortal’s voice resounded, and he laughed recklessly, his laughter echoing in the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.

Zui flew out from a grove, looked at Lv Xian, and urged him to hurry down.

Lv Xian looked around; he could feel the vast aura of the Origin God. He was unwilling, having just found a worthy opponent to fight, only to have it disrupted.

No matter how proud he was, he understood that neither Jinglan Immortal nor the Origin God would take notice of him.

Clenching his teeth, he immediately flew toward Zui.

Simultaneously, the world began to tremble, the mountains of the Origin Great Vein gradually fell into darkness as the towering waves rose higher and higher.

Jinglan Immortal slowly raised his head, a manic smile on his face. He raised his right hand, and a golden sword appeared in his hand, the blade etched with lines of red, igniting flames that distorted the surrounding space.

...

A hundred years later.

On the Mountain of No End, Gu An sat on the steps munching sunflower seeds, listening to Lv Xian and Zui recount that world-shaking battle, as they mimicked the stances of Jinglan Immortal and the Origin God’s fight.

"The Origin God summoned the Origin Sea, drowning the land, forming a Heaven and Earth Tao Formation, and Jinglan Immortal had nowhere to escape. Yet, the Immortal Sword in Jinglan Immortal’s hand could sever the sea with one strike."

Lv Xian spoke in an elevated tone, and beside him, Zui swung a sword.

Indeed, Zui’s sword stance was identical to that of Jinglan Immortal’s, accurately learned.

Gu An watched their performance with a smile, finding it very amusing.

Gu An had also witnessed that battle; Jinglan Immortal and the Origin God had similar cultivations, both being Miao Zhen Daluo Immortals. They broke the Heavenly Dao rules but did not incur punishment from Cangtian.

Jinglan Immortal laughed last, subduing the Origin God, and severing the main Spiritual Vein of the Origin Great Vein, leading to the land known as Central Heaven Blessed Land losing its Spiritual Energy, becoming a place of calamity.

In the past years, the Origin God had lectured several times, protecting countless creatures, spreading his divine name far and wide. However, his battle with Jinglan Immortal showed all living beings the might of the Immortal Gods.

Without becoming an immortal, one is ultimately an ant!

First, the True Dragon Clan Crown Prince, then the Origin God, the Great Dao and the mortal realm’s experts all felt a chill in their hearts, fearing Jinglan Immortal might come knocking.

Even the internally conflicting Demon Race factions became compliant.

After Lv Xian enthusiastically finished recounting the battle, Zui asked curiously, "Master, will the Celestial Court really do nothing about Jinglan Immortal? In the past, the Immortal Gods preached about the Heavenly Dao’s benevolence, but Jinglan Immortal’s actions were contrary to their preaching, doesn’t that render the Immortal Gods’ past efforts meaningless?"

Central Heaven always had Immortal Gods preaching, and they would reveal the Heavenly Tao Will and the Celestial Court’s views on all living beings. Before Jinglan Immortal appeared, all creatures revered the Immortal Gods, eager to ascend to immortality.

"Perhaps it’s like the past Immortal Demon conflict in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a scheme of the Son of Heaven," Lv Xian snorted, invigorated by the battle between Jinglan Immortal and the Origin God, though he didn’t favor Jinglan Immortal.

Gu An smiled and said, "No, it’s just that the Celestial Court is facing an unprecedented change, some Immortal Gods believe they hold certain victory, so they act recklessly."

Jinglan Immortal’s father was a confidant of Emperor Taihao. When he was certain that Emperor Taihao could achieve the position of Celestial Emperor, he began to swell with pride, unaware that the Son of Heaven he served had already been replaced by the Celestial Emperor.
