Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 777: The Ten Thousand Years of Exploration is About to Begin

The wind was about to stop, and in the Golden Palace on the top of the fairy palace, colorful lights returned to the throne.

There was a moment of silence in the room, so quiet that one could almost hear the two people breathing.

Taoist Jiu Mo regained his composure and suddenly grinned, "How did Fellow Daoist Chen see that?"

"Ren Yunsu... probably hasn't come into contact with you, right?"

Seeing that he had no intention of refutation, Chen Mu's face darkened and he confirmed his guess.

He pretended not to notice the throne absorbing the seven-colored energy, and simply said in a serious tone: "Chen has never met you, sir. It's just that you underestimated my Fushan Changhe and my Beiyuan Three Great Dao Sects!"

At that time, the ancestor Lihuo died due to injuries, which caused the influence of Fushan Changhe to decline, and there was a sudden surge of dissenting opinions within the mountain and river territory.

The Taoist sect that took the lead in challenging Fushan Changhe at that time was Qianyuan Sect. With its deliberate efforts, it actually mobilized more than ten sects to respond, causing a lot of trouble for Fushan Changhe.

After several years of confrontation, it was finally because Chishan and Zhuangyan gave birth to babies one after another that the decline was overcome and the overall situation was stabilized. The Qianyuan Sect no longer had the desire to compete.

Afterwards, Taoist Tianxing came to the door to question the culprit, and only then did he find out that the Qianyuan Sect had seized the Dao, and there was someone else behind the scenes fanning the flames.

And that person's name is Yunsu Sanren...

In fact, Chen Mu was busy forming a baby at that time and did not take this matter too seriously. The reason why he had an impression of it was because of a joke left by Yun Su Sanren.

This is what it means: "If you don't have the courage to sacrifice your own life, how can you talk about replacing it... Qian Yuan Qian Yuan, don't ask about the fate of immortality from now on..."

Viewing turmoil as a chance to become an immortal shows that Yunsu Sanren has a very broad vision.

Taoist Tianxing also took it very seriously and went to Xuantian Mansion to explain the matter.

The three major sects were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions about the person who intended to stir up unrest in Beiyuan. Soon after, they found out Yun Su Sanren's appearance, behavior characteristics and various details from Qianyuan Sect.

Afterwards, he even passed it on to the Yuanying cultivators in Beiyuan, thinking that if he could meet it again, he would capture it with all his strength!

But who would have thought that decades have passed since then, and there has been no news of Yun Su Sanren, as if this person had evaporated from this world.

Until Chen Mu returned to Zhongzhou and met the extremely enthusiastic Taoist Jiumo...

At first he was just suspicious and didn't dare to confirm it.

But after meeting him again in the Immortal Palace, his suspicions became even stronger and clearer. He just wanted to see his true intentions, so he didn't alert him and immediately questioned him face to face...

"Daoyou Chen is a smart man."

Taoist Jiumo smiled slightly and frankly admitted: "Jiumo is me, and Yunsu Sanren is also me..."

Chen Mu's mind raced, his gaze shifting between himself and the other person, and he whispered, "It seems that you are not here to cause chaos in Beiyuan, but are targeting Chen."

Taoist Jiumo shook his head: "This is both right and wrong."

Unaware of the other party's intentions, Chen Mu was unwilling to act rashly, so he took the opportunity to ask, "What's right, and what's wrong?"

Taoist Jiumo seemed extremely patient. He reached out to straighten the wrinkled corner of his sleeve and said calmly, "Beiyuan is going to be in chaos, but fellow Taoist... is even more important than the former."

After saying this, perhaps feeling that the intensity wasn't enough, he added, "It's a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more important!"

Chen Mu didn't show it on his face, but his heart was moved.

"Fellow Daoist Jiumo, are you joking?"

Taoist Jiumo still shook his head, a fiery look gradually revealed in his eyes, and he stared at Chen Mu closely.

"Are you kidding?" He seemed extremely excited, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and he gasped, "In search of my fellow Daoist, I have been trapped here for ten thousand years."

"Ten thousand years, is this a joke?!"

Chen Mu frowned immediately, and his first reaction was that the person in front of him might also be affected by the seven-colored energy, otherwise why would he start talking nonsense.

In ten thousand years, not to mention a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a True God Transformation Master would not be able to hold on to the end.

You know, even many of the great sects in this world have only been passed down for ten thousand years. This shows how long time has passed, and it is no longer something that the cultivators in this world can coexist with...

Seeing him looking at him like a madman, Taoist Jiumo suddenly flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "At this point, fellow Taoist, are you still going to act crazy and stupid?"

After saying this, he didn't give Chen Mu a chance to react, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiantian Renshui, is it in your hands?!"

The sound was like thunder, and it echoed throughout the Golden Palace.

"Om..."

At this moment, the throne suddenly trembled, and all the colorful air was absorbed. The universe became clear, and the fairy palace became more and more magnificent.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment. It was different from the brief moment of shock he had had in the past, but he was really dazed.

The biggest secret in his heart was revealed by someone, and even he couldn't help but lose his composure.

"You...what did you say?"

He didn't know how long had passed, it seemed like a moment and also like an eternity. He bit his tongue hard, forced himself to calm down, and then spoke slowly. At the same time, his mind was racing, sorting out all the possibilities about the matter.

"Xiantian Renshui. Why does he know about Xiantian Renshui, and why can he accurately say its name?"

"Even I only heard it from a vision in the immortal world when I was going through the tribulation of the inner demon."

"Just now he said he had been looking for me for ten thousand years. Could it be that he was just talking nonsense?"

"Who can survive for ten thousand years? Where did he come from?!"

In an instant, a series of questions filled his mind, causing his eyes to flicker.

Seeing this, Taoist Jiumo shook his head and sneered, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you really think you can get away with it by just ducking your head and pretending not to know?"

"Back then, I instigated rebellion in Beiyuan but returned without success, just in time for your infant formation tribulation."

He tutted his words, as if admiringly saying, "Ninth-level Nascent Soul, what an exceptional talent! I originally wanted to plant a celestial bond with you and help you serve me, but after I got to know you better..."

He suddenly sneered: "I just realized that fellow Daoist is just a remote and small cultivator with low-grade water spiritual roots!"

"But the question is, how did such a small cultivator from a remote area manage to surpass the geniuses of his generation and achieve the ninth level of Nascent Soul in this small world where the immortal path is lacking, and even a Water-walking Nascent Soul?"

"There are examples of useless people making a comeback in this world. Those who can achieve something with a lowly status are all blessed with great opportunities and great fortune!"

"And the same is true for you. The answer is self-evident..."

Taoist Jiumo took a deep breath and said with emotion, "I have been searching for Xiantian Renshui for ten thousand years, and finally I have found it..."

Chen Mu remained expressionless, and said in a clear voice, "Are you so sure that this is my destiny? Is it that innate Ren water?"

Taoist Jiumo laughed and said, "I was not sure at first, but who made Fellow Daoist Chen go to the Misty Lake of Zhao State?"

Chen Mu was shocked and frowned, "Did you lure out that mysterious boulder in advance?"

There is a self-generated space inside the boulder, and there is a teleportation array point in the space.

He was puzzled at the time. Clearly, to pass through that teleportation point, he needed to be at least in the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Perfection stage, yet he didn't know why he had revealed himself so early. After all, the boulder clearly had an owner, and if there had been some arrangement, this mistake wouldn't have happened.

But if Jiu Mo was involved, then everything would make sense...

"It is thanks to you, fellow Daoist, that I was able to follow the clues and find Guangchengzi's otherworldly cave."

Taoist Jiumo continued to smile and mentioned a name that shocked Chen Mu.

"He even knows the name of Immortal Guangcheng..."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed, and a startled thought occurred to him: "Could it be that he really isn't from this world, but an immortal from Heaven?!"

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Taoist Jiumo casually waved his sleeves and admitted loudly: "I might as well tell you that I am the Anqing True Immortal from the upper realm. I have descended to this place to search for the trace of Xiantian Renshui."

"Xiantian Renshui is a treasure of the immortals. Even I cannot touch it. How can a mere cultivator like you possess it?"

Then he slowed down his tone, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of temptation, "However, as the saying goes, ignorance is not a sin. It is not your fault that Fellow Daoist Chen was chosen by Xiantian Renshui."

"Now that I've explained everything to you, as long as you offer the Xiantian Ren Water, this matter will no longer concern you. From now on, you can cultivate the Dao peacefully. There's a chance you'll be among the immortals in the future!"

Being ranked among the immortals is probably a path that even cultivators in this world dare not even think about...

Chen Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After getting the correct answer, he became much calmer than at the beginning.

Taoist Jiumo did not urge him, as if he wanted to give him some time to think it over carefully.

The Heavenly Court sent people to search for the innate Ren water, and thus came to Chen Mu. This was not something Chen Mu had not thought about, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly and suddenly.

Long before he overcame his inner demonic tribulation, he had made some vague plans, intending to enhance his voice and status in this world.

Although his efforts may be insignificant in the eyes of immortals, he still has an attitude.

That is, there will be no compromise...

It was so in the past and it is so now.

The pendant given by his mother, which is the innate water element, is the greatest fortune in his life. How can he give it to others so easily?

Not to mention that there is only a Nascent Soul cultivator who claims to be an immortal at the moment, even if a real immortal came here, he would not change his mind!

Chen Mu's eyes fixed, and for some reason he suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard during his inner demonic tribulation.

"The Xiantian Renshui chose me as its master, so how could I give it up to others just because you guys force me to do so?!"

In an instant, the image of Immortal Guangcheng laughing towards the sky floated in his mind, and for the first time he felt a sense of resonance.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must do what others dare not do!"

He no longer hesitated, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he laughed out loud: "Fellow Daoist Jiumo, you already knew that the Xiantian Renshui was in my hands, but you didn't directly reach into Zhongzhou to capture me. I guess the power of the Black and White Dao Palace is not something you can contend with at this moment, right?"

When these words came out, the calm and composed Jiu Mo Daoist suddenly froze, but in the next moment he sneered and said, "Are you testing me?"

Chen Mu ignored him and continued, "So it seems that you must have spread the news about the Fortune Lotus Pond in the Immortal Palace specifically to lure me here."

"You might have thought that without the protection of the Black and White Dao Palace, I would be at your mercy. But after arriving here, you discovered that I had made some progress, and it wasn't just ordinary progress. Your confidence was shaken again, and then you deliberately met me and blended in with us, waiting for the right opportunity..."

The more Chen Mu spoke, the clearer his words became. In contrast, Taoist Jiumo's expression was still as dark as dark water, and extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Jiumo, is Chen's guess correct?"

Chen Mu smiled, but his eyes still fell on the other person.

"Ha ha……"

After a period of silence, Taoist Jiumo suddenly laughed out of anger, nodded and said in praise: "I have said before, Fellow Daoist Chen is a smart man."

"However, fellow Daoist, why don't you think about why I went to so much trouble to allow you to ascend to this thirty-six-story palace?"

Chen Mu's face darkened and he didn't say anything rashly.

Taoist Jiu Mo looked at Chen Mu with a leisurely expression and a playful look. Without explaining, he just sneered, "You dare to show off here? Are you really smart or just pretending to be smart?"

His eyes turned cold: "Since you are determined to seek death, I don't mind fulfilling your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, colorful clouds of mist suddenly gushed out from the golden throne. He took a deep breath and the clouds of mist entered his body in an instant.

In an instant, his temperament changed suddenly, and a strong pressure came towards him. Chen Mu's robe moved without wind, and then he couldn't help but take a step back!
"This is……"

Chen Mu's pupils couldn't help but shrink: "The state of Nascent Soul perfection!"

"Even if I have been weak for ten thousand years, I am still not your equal!"

Taoist Jiumo shouted loudly, and his tremendous magic power condensed into a Dharma image, like a golden sun rising from behind him, radiating thousands of feet of brilliance, reflecting the Golden Palace. The two rays of red gold light took away the color of heaven and earth. With a rumbling sound, they pressed towards Chen Mu.

The gap in realm was quite large, so Chen Mu did not dare to be careless at all. With a shake of his body, his magic power turned into a vast water light and spread out.

In an instant, the two colors in the sky collided.

Such a collision with no room for maneuver, there was no room for tricks. The vast water light only lasted for a few breaths before it disappeared, leaving only a piece of white land.

Chen Mu groaned and retreated a thousand feet. His expression showed both surprise and sigh.

Being surprised is discovering that the opponent is different from what he guessed before he made the move.

He originally thought that Jiu Mo had temporarily broken through the realm with the help of the inexplicable colorful energy in the throne, and his strength was definitely not as good as his. However, he did not expect that his tremendous magic power was not only not insufficient, but exceeded it by a lot!
As for the sigh, it was because ever since he started practicing Taoism, he had always used his magical powers to suppress others, and he had never encountered a scene like today...

Taoist Jiumo didn't care whether he was surprised or sighing, and immediately took advantage of the situation to pursue him.

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and pushed forward, then he raised his hand and clicked, and there was a loud roar, and countless thunderclouds exploded, with lightning flying and flashing inside.

Taoist Jiumo just sneered and didn't take it to heart at all.

He also raised his hand and summoned something, and instantly a red flame flew from the sky, rising high and majestically, surrounded by a golden halo.

This was not the end. He looked up to the sky and let out a clear whistle, and the sound shook the nine heavens. In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible force spread across the four directions, shattering the thunderclouds in one breath.

Then he stretched out his hand and pressed forward, suppressing all the thunder energy and instantly eliminating it into nothingness.

"Is your Taoism worthy of endangering a True Immortal?"

He scolded with disdain, waving his hand to send down the red flames in the sky.

Red flames streaked across the sky, so scorching that even the void seemed to be slightly distorted, as if it could not bear it.

Although Chen Mu was cautious in his heart, he did not give in in his words.

"Since you claim to be a True Immortal, then use your True Immortal skills. What can a mere small fire do to me?"

He flicked his sleeves slightly, and suddenly a flash of water appeared, sweeping the red flames away, and disappeared into nowhere...
