Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 635 It Depends on Talent [Fifth Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"A sword cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage from another state sensed the existence of the Immortal Tomb and directly struck down with his sword, disrupting the Immortal Tomb's fortune."

In the royal study.

Zhang, the chief minister, said.

Sword cultivators are the most unreasonable type of cultivators.

They always act solely on their conscience, regardless of cause and effect, making them the most difficult to deal with.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy is a good example.

The Emperor frowned deeply.

The appearance of an unidentified Nascent Soul Realm sword cultivator could be a near-devastating blow to the Yu Kingdom.

Fortunately, this time it's targeting the Immortal Tomb.

At this time.

Another person entered the imperial study.

It was Li Rui who said, "Your Majesty, it has been determined that the sword cultivator is from Nanzheng Yangzhou. Perhaps it was the leakage of the Immortal Tomb's aura that allowed him to be discovered."

Nanzhengyang Prefecture?

The Emperor's eyes narrowed upon hearing the name.

This state is very famous.

Although it is not far from Taihua Prefecture and is located in the south of the fourteen prefectures, Nan Zhengyang Prefecture is much more powerful.

What's most unique is that the entire state is populated by sword cultivators.

The Immortal Sect is a sword-wielding Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Dynasty is also a sword-wielding Immortal Dynasty.

They never reason with outsiders.

Even the number one sword cultivator in the cultivation world, Dao Ancestor, is in Nanzhengyang Prefecture.

When cultivators from Nanzhengyang Prefecture went out, they avoided them as if they were plague gods, and no one wanted to provoke them.

Prime Minister Zhang pondered for a moment: "It should still be because of the intervention of the Hall of Myriad Laws. The disturbance in the Immortal Tomb made the cultivators of other states discover the clues, which is why they took action."

Li Rui nodded.

The "action" that Chief Minister Zhang mentioned was naturally the plot by Zhu Kang to rebel in alliance with the Wanfa Hall.

The matter has been resolved.

Moreover, they killed a group of Celestial Realm experts from the Myriad Laws Hall, and even the Extinction True Man perished as a result.

But its impact is far-reaching.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws wants the Immortal Tomb to stir up trouble and then completely muddy the waters.

After all, when it comes to taking advantage of trouble, the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws is full of talented people.

The purpose has been achieved.

The Holy Emperor looked at Li Rui: "Changqing, the matter of the Immortal Tomb is of great importance. I am worried that Dingting cannot handle it alone. You should go south and lend Dingting a hand."

"it is good."

Li Rui agreed without hesitation.

He was naturally very concerned about the situation at the Immortal Tomb.

Even without the Emperor's words, they would still go and take a look.

No sloppiness.

That same day, he led Liu Tiezhu, Wang Zhao, Ning Zhongtian, and several others south, arriving at Qinghe Hunting Ground by flying boat.

Returning.

The Qinghe hunting grounds have changed dramatically and now resemble a huge military camp.

The guards at the gate were elderly people from An'nan Town, so they naturally knew Li Rui.

Upon seeing Li Rui appear, they dared not stop him and respectfully led him to the central tent, saying as they walked, "Lord Li, I used to be a soldier in An'nan Town, and I served there for decades in Anning Guard."

Li Rui looked at the guard and smiled slightly: "I know, your name is Zhang Hu, right?"

Upon hearing the Imperial Observatory Supervisor call out his name, the old soldier's eyes widened, followed by an overflowing sense of pride: "Everyone in Anning Guard misses Lord Li very much and hopes that you will return to Qinghe for a visit."

"I'll go when I have time."

Li Rui thought about it and realized that he hadn't been back for a while.

While talking.

The two had already arrived in front of a large tent.

The old soldier said respectfully, "Lord Yuan is inside."

"Alright, you can go back now. I've noted down what happened with Anning Guard."

As Li Rui spoke, he lifted the curtain and went inside.

Only the old soldier remained outside, excited.

Yuan Dingting was the only one in the large tent.

Upon seeing Yuan Dingting again, this military strategist of the Great Yu Dynasty now possessed a more restrained and understated brilliance, concealing his true strength well. "Brother Li."

Upon seeing Li Rui appear, Yuan Dingting smiled, showing no surprise; he had already guessed that Li Rui would come.

"Your Majesty."

Li Rui cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Yuan Dingting smiled and waved his hand: "I already said, you are Hu Zi's master, so we can just call each other brothers."

Li Rui grinned: "Then I'll gladly accept your offer."

"Brother Yuan, what exactly happened at Shiwan Mountain?"

Yuan Dingting: "A sword cultivator suddenly broke in, and unexpectedly it had a miraculous effect. The Immortal Tomb was pushed forward another ten miles. Some people vaguely saw an immortal tree in the clouds and mist. It was incredibly mysterious. I heard that many experts from Baiyujing, Shenxuan Sect, and Xuanfa Temple came. It must be an extraordinary treasure."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

I don't know if it's a coincidence.

It must have been that sword cultivator who disrupted the flow of fortune that caused the Immortal Tree to manifest.

It wasn't that the swordsman was more skilled.

Instead, they are even more daring.

The powerful figures from the three major immortal sects were afraid that the immortal tomb would escape the five elements, so they were very careful with every step, which naturally slowed down their progress. However, the sword cultivator did not have so many concerns and was able to achieve unexpected results.

However, Li Rui guessed that this might also be a consequence set up by some old monster.

Who can say for sure?

Li Rui pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Yuan, I'll go to the Ten Thousand Mountains and see what's going on."

Yuan Dingting nodded: "Perhaps Brother Li would have a different perspective if he went."

He had always held Li Rui in high regard.

Anyone who has risen from a stable boy to where they are today must be exceptional.

Unlike other monks.

Compared to those immortal cultivators from established families, he admired those who rose from humble beginnings more.

Li Rui didn't bring Liu Tiezhu and the others with him.

He fled alone into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

He didn't actually head straight for the Immortal Tomb, but instead came to a valley with green hills and clear waters in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Here.

There was a fat Taoist priest.

"Senior Li, you've finally arrived! I've missed you so much!"

Wu De grinned as soon as he saw Li Rui.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, have you heard about the Immortal Tomb?"

Li Rui got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Wu De's expression became more serious, and he nodded, saying, "How could I not have heard? Perhaps it's because sword cultivators are purer and more in accord with the Great Dao that that sword strike actually hit that extraordinary immortal object in the Immortal Tomb with pinpoint accuracy. Goodness, it was actually an immortal tree. No wonder those old monsters valued it so much."

"However, celestial objects possess spirits, and obtaining them is not such an easy thing."

Most magical artifacts come from large tombs.

He was a tomb raider, so he naturally knew more about these things than ordinary monks.

Getting a divine object to recognize its master is no easy task.

He heard that several Nascent Soul Realm elders had been stirred up by the spirit of that immortal object, and legend has it that even a True Monarch personally tried to take action, only to be ruthlessly rejected.

This is normal.

When a divine creature recognizes its master, it depends on two things: fate and talent.

Strength is secondary.

Unless it is powerful enough to directly suppress the immortal object.

Li Rui remained silent.

But he knew perfectly well that it wasn't some kind of celestial tree spirit at all; it was clearly rejected by the remnant spirit of the celestial court.

Even he couldn't completely move the remnant spirit of the Celestial Court, let alone other cultivators.

Just as the two were talking.

Wu De's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Why is he here again?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Then they saw an incredibly handsome young man gracefully descend with a smile.

"Little fatty, let's see how you run this time."
