281: Chapter 280: Everything to Survive (Part 2) Big Chapter 281: Chapter 280: Everything to Survive (Part 2) Big Chapter Earth Immortal Realm, Kingdom of Aolai, Wangyun Mountain.

Wangyun Mountain bordered the East Sea and was a million miles distant from Huaguo Mountain, merely a nondescript little mountain occupied by some Little Demons whose highest cultivation was only in the Unification Realm.

Atop the mountain was a pavilion, which appeared intermittently amidst the swirling sea of clouds, giving it a hazy and illusory appearance.

A stone table and two stone stools were set up, with a pot of Immortal Tea on the table.

The clear spring water boiled inside the pot, soon wafting a fragrant tea aroma around.

“Since you have come, Daoist, why not come in for a talk?

Can it be that this little brother is so disdainful to you?” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, as he lifted the jade pot to fill the cups with tea and peered into the void ahead as he opened and closed his eyes.

“Daoist, it’s not that I want to break ties with you, but you really shouldn’t have offended Junior Brother Yang Jian,” sighed Changsheng Immortal Venerable as he materialized from the void and settled across from Ye Xuan in the pavilion.

“Daoist brother jests,” Ye Xuan replied bitterly.

“Not only did Yang Jian humiliate me, but he also wants to kill me in the Heavenly Court.

Should I just wait passively for death and let him kill me?”

“Alas!”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable sighed deeply, knowing Ye Xuan wasn’t wrong, but what had happened couldn’t be changed.

“Dear brother, today you invited me here and I came as promised, remembering our past friendship.

If you would heed my advice, join me and go to the Jade Spring Mountain Jinxi Cave to apologize to Master Yu Ding.”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable said this as he observed Ye Xuan’s expression, which still bore a smile, then continued, “Although Master Yu Ding is Yang Jian’s master, he is a Daluo Golden Immortal, extremely even-tempered.

If he speaks on your behalf, he certainly could reconcile you and Junior Brother Yang Jian.”

Seeing Changsheng Immortal Venerable pleading earnestly, Ye Xuan smiled lightly and said, “Daoist brother, I appreciate your kindness, but if our paths differ, we cannot plan together.

Even if I humbly bow to Yang Jian, with his arrogant nature, how could he ever let me go?”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Changsheng Immortal Venerable brightened up, thinking Ye Xuan intended to reconcile, and quickly replied, “Dear brother rest assured, my Junior Brother Yang Jian holds great respect for Master Yu Ding.

As long as Master Yu Ding speaks, even if he holds grudges against you, he can only let them go.”

“Daoist brother, let’s not talk about my grievances with Yang Jian today.

I invited you here just to touch upon the friendship between us.”

Ye Xuan personally poured tea for Changsheng Immortal Venerable and then raised his jade cup, drank the Immortal Tea, and looked at Changsheng Immortal Venerable, saying, “With this tea, I toast you.”

“Dear brother, won’t you reconsider?”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable frowned deeply, not drinking the Immortal Tea in his cup and his look towards Ye Xuan showed disappointment.

“Some people are born enemies and that will never change.

Only one of us, Yang Jian or I, can survive.

Even though he has the backing of the Chan Sect, I hold no fear.”

Ye Xuan’s smile faded, his tone firm, making Changsheng Immortal Venerable sigh helplessly, lifting his jade cup and drinking the Immortal Tea.

“Dear brother, since you have made your decision, it’s not for me to continue advising you.

But as a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, after drinking this cup of tea, our friendship ends herein.

If you do anything in the future that harms our sect, do not blame me for disregarding our past relationship.”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable heavily threw his jade cup onto the stone table, displaying a look of disappointment, and then stood up, apparently ready to return to the Heavenly Court.

“The essence of Kui Water harms one’s foundation, big brother should stay here.”

Suddenly, before Changsheng Immortal Venerable could leave, Ye Xuan refilled his own cup with tea, slowly and calmly drank the Immortal Tea, and as he opened and closed his eyes, his gaze towards Changsheng Immortal Venerable was indifferent and merciless.

Pfft!

A stream of golden blood spur from Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s mouth, his complexion drastically changing.

He abruptly turned to look at Ye Xuan, only to meet his cold and merciless eyes.

“Ye… Ye Xuan…

you… you…”

Puff puff puff!

Three more streams of golden blood burst forth, Changsheng Immortal Venerable desperately circulated his Immortal Law, but he could not suppress the terrifyingly frigid air inside him, leaving him collapsing powerlessly onto the stone stool, his gaze at Ye Xuan filled with extreme resentment.

“Kui…

the essence of Kui Water…

how could you possibly have that?” Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s complexion turned pale, blood continually spilling from his mouth.

Even as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he couldn’t suppress the rampant spread of Kui Water essence within him.

At that moment!

With an impassive face, Ye Xuan sipped the tea, saying calmly, “I naturally don’t possess the essence of Kui Water, but that doesn’t mean others don’t.”

“Ha ha!”

Suddenly, the void surged, filled with flashing Immortal Light, revealing Zhao Gongming, whose gaze towards Changsheng Immortal Venerable was chilling with a murderous intent.

“Immortal Changsheng, I am truly sorry.

Emperor Dongji asked me for the essence of Kui Water.

Although we are both Great Immortals of the Heavenly Court, when the Emperor commands, I dare not disobey,” Zhao Gongming laughed coldly, his eyes filled with triumph.

“Zhao… Zhao Gongming?”

“You… how dare you do this… are you trying to provoke a great war between the Chan Sect and Jie Sect?”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s eyes were red with rage, and he roared loudly.

He tried to stand up, but under the effect of the Kui Water Essence, he couldn’t muster a trace of immortal power.

“This matter no longer concerns you, you may leave now.”

Without waiting for Zhao Gongming to respond, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, causing Zhao Gongming’s expression to change slightly.

He then bowed deeply to Ye Xuan and said, “Emperor, you must not forget the promise made to the lineage of the Jie Sect.”

“You talk too much.” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling intent to kill emerged around him, causing Zhao Gongming’s expression to change again.

With a flattering laugh, he transformed into an escape light and vanished.

“Ye… Ye Xuan… why… why?”

Changsheng Immortal Venerable clenched his fists tightly, his face turning exceedingly flushed.

He had never imagined that Ye Xuan would ally with Zhao Gongming to put him to death.

“Why?”

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, then mockingly smiled, looking at Changsheng Immortal Venerable with a hint of pity in his gaze.

“The reason is simple, because, as a kid, I don’t want to die.

I want to live well in these Three Realms, and step by step reach the Nine Heavens, to viciously stomp the Jade Emperor underfoot.

If possible, I even want to become a saint and ancestor, and compete with The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints for the secrets of the great Dao.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was very calm, so calm it caused no ripples, but upon reaching Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s ears, it caused his complexion to drastically change, his look towards Ye Xuan filled with extreme terror.

Changsheng Immortal Venerable could never have imagined that Ye Xuan’s ambition was so immense, so unimaginable.

Was Ye Xuan mad?

“You… do you even know what you’re saying?” Changsheng Immortal Venerable trembled as he spoke.

Ye Xuan slowly stood up, approached Changsheng Immortal Venerable, and solemnly bowed to him, saying, “Daoist brother, there is no enmity between us.

Ever since I entered the Heavenly Court, you have also looked after me, and I have always remembered this.”

Ye Xuan paused briefly at this point, then continued, “But our paths are different, and we cannot confederate.

I am already at odds with the Chan Sect like fire and water, and you, brother, being a Taiyi Golden Immortal, only by devouring your cultivation can I advance further.”

“Ye Xuan, you of treacherous ambitions, even if you kill me, you will not end well, and the disciples of the Chan Sect will certainly not let you go.” Changsheng Immortal Venerable roared furiously.

At that moment, Ye Xuan gave a faint smile.

He pointed distantly to Huaguo Mountain, saying calmly, “Daoist brother, within Huaguo Mountain there are seventy-two Cave Demon Kings, extremely terrifying forces of the Eastern Continent, and this Wangyun Mountain is but a subordinated range under their control.

Thousands of Little Demons fill the mountain, no one will know of your death by my hands, and the true perpetrator will be these seventy-two Cave Demon Kings.”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s eyes were bloodshot, and blood kept overflowing from his mouth, his heart filled with extreme fury.

“Daoist brother, go in peace.

Your cultivation bestowed upon me, if I become a saint and ancestor in the future, I will surely reverse the Space-Time Origin and return you a future embodiment.”

Pfft!

Amidst the calm, Ye Xuan’s crystalline palm pierced through Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s heart, suddenly crushing his Immortal Heart, and the terrifying Taiyi Golden Light diffused out, instantly scattering and annihilating Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s Divine Soul.

“Ye Xuan… you will not die a good death…!”

In his final moment as his soul scattered, Changsheng Immortal Venerable roared at Ye Xuan.

But before he could finish, his body already exploded into a mist of blood, as the vast immortal power wildly surged into Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Spirit.

“Tribulation Immortal Skill!”

With an emotionless voice, Ye Xuan directly sat cross-legged atop the mountain summit, operating the Undying Immortal Scripture to crazily refine Changsheng Immortal Venerable’s cultivation.

A full month passed by, and when Ye Xuan opened his eyes, His Taiyi Golden Light shone dazzlingly, and at this moment, he advanced to the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

“Indeed, by devouring a fellow immortal of the same level, my cultivation can achieve an extremely terrifying advancement.” Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a trace of blood quietly flashing in his eyes.

Today, having eliminated Changsheng Immortal Venerable and devoured his cultivation, Ye Xuan felt no guilt at all.

Indeed, Changsheng Immortal Venerable was never his enemy, but in this cruel world, there was no reason at all.

Ye Xuan knew, to ascend to the Nine Heavens, he had to abandon the lowly heart of mercy.

Moreover, Changsheng Immortal Venerable was a disciple of the Chan Sect, who would certainly be a stumbling block in the future.

Killing him now or later, there was actually no difference.

Changsheng Immortal Venerable was not wrong, Ye Xuan was not wrong, the only wrong was this cruel world, for Ye Xuan did not want to die, nor did he want to become someone else’s stepping stone.

He could only step by step attain the peak and look down on all beings, because there was simply no way back for him.

He had to achieve his goals, ultimately piling up endless bones of immortals and gods, and this first person would start with Changsheng Immortal Venerable.
