Chapter 460 - 460 469 Treading the Heavens and Departing

460: Chapter 469: Treading the Heavens and Departing 460: Chapter 469: Treading the Heavens and Departing A Daoist with white hair and beard was murmuring in a low voice.

Although his voice wasn’t loud, all the guests present were Immortals, so naturally, they overheard his words, causing a moment of shock before they helplessly shook their heads and sighed.

“Daoist Jiuyin, such things should never be mentioned, you must know that although Emperor Dongji was stunning, his methods were too brutal.

Not only did he betray the Heavenly Court, but he also turned into a Heavenly Demon in the Northern Continent and killed South Sea Guanyin.

Even if he is still alive in this world, I fear he wouldn’t dare to show himself in the Three Realms.”

“Although Emperor Dongji’s talents and intelligence were unmatched, and he possessed heaven-penetrating and earth-shattering Cultivation, he was too impetuous and unaware of when to advance or retreat.

Otherwise, why would he be wanted by both Lingshan and the Heavenly Court?”

“Alright, alright, such characters are not for us to discuss.

We lesser Immortals will not rest until we’re drunk today.

The struggles of these important figures are not for us to worry about.”

The guests from all directions were discussing spiritedly, clearly showing that even though three thousand years had passed, Ye Xuan’s fame was still circulating within the Three Realms.

However, everyone also knew that even if Ye Xuan was still alive, he had made too many enemies, so he ultimately wouldn’t dare to appear in the Three Realms.

Upon hearing the words of the guests from all quarters, Ye Xuan paid no attention whatsoever, and there was not the slightest ripple in his heart—only a sly smile was etched at the corners of his mouth.

After three days and nights passed, all the guests from every direction had left.

Immortal Qing Huo, having drunk quite a bit of Spiritual Wine, was also slightly tipsy, so he instructed his disciples to clear away the banquet before returning to his own Daoist abode.

The night was like water, and the stars twinkled faintly.

Streams of moonlight poured down, illuminating the entire Heavenly Capital Hall so that not a speck of dust could be seen.

Immortal Qing Huo sat cross-legged in the hall, his body steaming with Immortal Light, breathing in and out, meeting the moonlight.

This was a daily essential practice for him; like other ordinary Immortals, he could only gradually improve his Cultivation over time.

All Laws are void, formless and shapeless.

Ye Xuan, facing the moonlight, walked towards Immortal Qing Huo.

He didn’t make himself known to this person as he advanced until he stood in front of Immortal Qing Huo.

Hum!

A Void Ripple spread out, and in the reflection of the moonlight, Ye Xuan manifested, causing Immortal Qing Huo to suddenly open his eyes in shock, with even more fierce Immortal Light steaming around him.

With an unruffled gaze, Ye Xuan regarded him indifferently, encapsulating the demeanor he maintained at that moment.

“Who might you be, Daoist friend?”

Immortal Qing Huo asked in shock, retreating rapidly.

Obviously, Ye Xuan’s abrupt appearance in front of him was deeply terrifying, and his mind was in complete disarray at this moment.

You have to understand that he was a Taiyin Mystic Immortal.

Although he wouldn’t claim to be a formidable figure, he was certainly not comparable to some lower-level Immortals.

To appear silently before him meant the other’s Cultivation had to surpass his by a great Realm.

Immortal Qing Huo tried his best to calm himself down, but cold sweat incessantly broke out on his forehead, and his eyes darted around nervously while opening and closing.

“I wonder which Great Immortal the senior might be, visiting this junior’s Daoist abode.

What instructions do you have?” Immortal Qing Huo bowed, but he was surrounded by Immortal Light, clearly very wary of Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, “I want to borrow two items from you.”

“May I know what the senior is seeking?

As long as this junior possesses them, I will definitely offer them up to senior.”

Facing someone who might belong to the Luotian Realm, Immortal Qing Huo dared not refuse in the slightest and wished to quickly send Ye Xuan away, even if it meant parting with some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

“The things I want are actually quite simple, and you indeed possess them all.

The first item is a Jade Token to attend the Peach Banquet, and the second item is your head on your neck.”

Ye Xuan spoke as if he was mentioning something trivial, but his words caused Immortal Qing Huo’s complexion to drastically change, prompting him to quickly look up at Ye Xuan.

Yet, when Ye Xuan’s features entered his line of sight, Immortal Qing Huo froze in place completely.

What did he see?

A visage of graceful handsomeness that resembled a Confucian scholar, yet it was this very face that caused the Qing Huo Immortal’s body to quiver, his teeth to chatter, and his knees to buckle until he collapsed onto the ground like a pile of mud.

“Emperor…

Emperor Dongji?”

The Qing Huo Immortal trembled with a horrified cry, his eyes displaying utter despair, and an extremely bitter expression spread across his face.

Earlier, the arrival of Ye Xuan had thrown the Qing Huo Immortal into turmoil, so he hadn’t paid much attention to Ye Xuan’s appearance, but when he finally saw Ye Xuan’s face clearly, he recognized his identity.

Qing Huo Immortal could never have imagined that Emperor Dongji, who had vanished three thousand years ago, would appear before him, alive and well, seeking to borrow his life.

Unable to resist, needless to beg for mercy, and no need to ring the Daoist bell for assistance because Qing Huo Immortal was acutely aware that the Emperor Dongji before him could kill a Daluo Golden Immortal with a single thought, and it would take no more than a whim to destroy his Heavenly Capital City.

But even an ant fights for its life, what more the Qing Huo Immortal?

He had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years to reach the Taiyin Mystic Immortal Realm, so how could he willingly die at Ye Xuan’s hands today?

Escape!

Without any hesitation or unnecessary words, Qing Huo Immortal immediately employed his strongest Immortal Law, even at the expense of his own vital essence, erupting with a cultivation akin to a Taiyi Golden Immortal in a bid to flee.

Unfortunately, even if Qing Huo Immortal’s cultivation had been that of a Taiyi Mystic Immortal, and even doubling it for a Daluo Golden Immortal here, escaping from Ye Xuan’s grasp would still be impossible.

“Dust to dust, earth to earth, vanish with the wind.”

With no visible action from Ye Xuan, as his calm voice sounded, something truly terrifying happened!

The body of Qing Huo Immortal shattered, and even his Primordial Spirit dissipated into nonexistence, his soul scattering and he died in an instant, not even having a chance to let out a final scream.

Without any disturbance or concern, Ye Xuan carried a simple goal; he intended to attend the banquet at the Turquoise Pool, and naturally, he needed an identity.

Unfortunately for Qing Huo Immortal, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, sealing his inevitable death.

No pity, no mercy, to Ye Xuan, killing Qing Huo Immortal was as normal as drinking water or eating food.

This world was just so, the powerful as heavy as mountains, the weak groveling like ants, there was no rationale to be discussed; if you’re weak, you deserve to die, this is the essence of the Heaven and Earth Three Realms.

Ye Xuan had come a long way, stepping over countless skeletons, fully understanding this principle, not wishing to become another skeleton under someone else’s foot, and this drove his relentless pursuit of strength.

Ding!

A jade token fell to the ground, which Ye Xuan promptly summoned into his hand.

The token, inscribed with ancient patterns, bore the words “Turquoise Pool,” indicating it was the token to attend the Peach Banquet.

Hum!

The void shifted, All Laws and Forms manifested, and Daluo Immortal Light swirled around Ye Xuan.

Once the light dissipated, Ye Xuan transformed, taking on the appearance of Qing Huo Immortal, down to the very aura of his being—so much so that not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could see through his disguise.

With one step, a vast distance was crossed; Ye Xuan silently vanished within the halls, and no one knew that Qing Huo Immortal had met his end, his soul scattered to the winds, never to be seen again in this world.

Nor did anyone know that Emperor Dongji, Ye Xuan, had been here, had taken Qing Huo Immortal’s jade token, and headed towards the Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.

This would disturb the power structures of the Heaven and Earth Three Realms.

An unimaginable shift quietly began to rise at that moment.
