Chapter 974: Chapter 994: If It Were You, Would You Refuse?_1

White Jade Platform, massive bronze pillars, ancient and mysterious formation patterns.

Everything had been cut in half by a single devastating blow, and not only that, this strike had torn apart the earth, creating a bottomless canyon.

What kind of power could create such a terrifying blow?

"Is the immortal who broke the Connecting Heaven Formation the same person who ordered you to guard this place?"

The white-haired old man shook his head: "I’m not sure. When we arrived here, the Connecting Heaven Formation was already this way. I don’t know if it was his doing."

Tang Fengkong frowned and said, "Aren’t you guys curious? This is the path to ascension, don’t you want to ascend to immortality?"

The white-haired old man said with a bitter smile, "We are just following orders. We don’t have the right to question. He doesn’t like us asking too many questions."

"You immortal slaves are awfully loyal!"

The white-haired old man said coldly, "The Connecting Heaven Formation has been destroyed, the passage between the Barren Wilderness and the Immortal Realm has been severed, and people in the Barren Wilderness can no longer ascend to immortality. If we hadn’t agreed to become immortal slaves, we would have turned into white bones long ago, and we wouldn’t have the opportunity to listen to your mockery."

The white-haired old man paused, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, and his words full of ridicule, "You mock me, saying that I am a slave to immortals, but ask yourselves with your conscience, if an immortal comes down now and gives you two choices - either die, or live for ten thousand years and ascend to immortality afterward, but in exchange, you must be a slave for ten thousand years - how many of you would refuse?"

Many Void stage experts were ridiculed by the white-haired old man, and could only exchange glances, at a loss for words.

Yes, they were mocking others, but deep down, they envied them too.

These people are from ten thousand years ago, yet they are still alive and well!

If that immortal truly kept his promise, they would be able to ascend to immortality after guarding this place for ten thousand years. Who among them wouldn’t envy that?

They fought desperately to break into the Valley of Death, isn’t it to seek their immortal chance?

Everyone searched the White Jade Platform but didn’t find anything particularly special.

Although everyone used the Image Recording Stones to capture every detail of the formations, they all knew that this was just the surface, and duplicating the formation wouldn’t necessarily reestablish the passage between the two realms.

To establish a passage, at the very least, the Immortal Realm would have to agree!

Thinking about it carefully, many people have died in the attack on the Valley of Death, and a large number of spiritual treasures and magical artifacts were lost, but in the end, they didn’t gain anything.

Although the secret of the Valley of Death had been revealed, everyone didn’t reap any tangible benefits because the biggest reward, the arm of that immortal, had flown away!

Although they caught a half-immortal, they felt like they were holding a hot potato. What if its owner comes and seeks revenge, who could bear it?

With mixed feelings, everyone began to leave, going back to their previous Cultivator’s Camp.

After discussing for a while, the Sect Masters dispersed, and as for the white-haired old man, he was guarded by the three Tribulation Crossing Elders.

They only had three months left to live, and after that, they had to start the ascension process. But with the realm connection not open and no access to Immortal Spirit Qi in the Barren Wilderness, their ascension was doomed to fail.

Failure meant death!

Before leaving, Lin Chen secretly visited Chen Meifeng.

Chen Meifeng looked at Lin Chen, her eyes full of laughter.

Lin Chen saluted: "Sect Leader Chen, I killed An Ziwu. Will Penglai consider me their enemy and not stop until one of us dies?"

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "Earth Origin Sect’s Guo Ruhai might hate you to the bone, and if given the chance to deal with you, he definitely won’t let it go. However, An Ziwu took the first shot at you, and Guo Ruhai couldn’t openly trouble you. After all, your master and your senior brothers are not easy to deal with."

"With An Ziwu dead, Jia Xue will naturally become the new Son of Penglai. She was originally not inferior to An Ziwu, only losing because of her age. Moreover, her cultivation of Chanü Heart Sutra is going smoothly, tailored just for her. Given enough time, she will definitely be more powerful than An Ziwu."

"Because of Jia Xue, my Xuanfeng Sect and you are naturally considered allies. The other two sects don’t have a stake in this, so they won’t offend you either. So, you just have to be careful of Earth Origin Sect people."

"An Ziwu’s father, An Kaicheng, is an elder of the Earth Origin Sect with Void stage Middle Period strength. An Ziwu was his only son, and he won’t let this go easily. You need to be careful in your daily life and not give them a chance to deal with you."

Lin Chen worriedly asked, "Will they take their anger out on Jia Xue? After all, my relationship with Jia Xue is well-known."

Chen Meifeng smiled and said, "When I return, I will see the Cave Master and officially confirm Jia Xue’s status as the Son of Penglai. With the Cave Master backing her, who in Penglai would dare to take action against her? Besides, I will do everything in my power to protect her for the sake of Xuanfeng Sect’s future. You don’t have to worry about that..."

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "I will have to trouble Sect Leader Chen then. Jia Xue is my wife, and if anyone bullies her, no matter who they are, I will take their life!"
