My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 111 Old Monster Bai Doesn't Like Overly Domineering People (Part 2)

Wei Renjie is one of the "Four Heroes" among the Three Heroes and Four Outstanding Figures of Shushan.

Its origins are even more extraordinary.

Before joining the Shu Mountain sect in this life, he was a wandering immortal of the Purple Cloud Sect. A wandering immortal is someone who attains enlightenment through independent cultivation. The fact that he was named after the Purple Cloud Sect shows that he was no ordinary person.

Back then, the Old Demon of Crimson Spring attempted to use the essence and souls of countless living beings to create a sinful soul, thereby cultivating an unparalleled evil technique. However, just as the Old Demon of Crimson Spring was about to succeed, he was fortunately discovered by the Immortal of Purple Cloud. The Immortal then unleashed his natal treasure, the Purple Cloud Star-Slaying Thunder Ruler, and with overwhelming force, destroyed the Old Demon of Crimson Spring's cultivation.

However, although the evil plan of the Old Demon of the Crimson Spring was thwarted, the countless living beings at that time were also blasted into dust.

Therefore, although Zixiao Loose Immortal's actions prevented a great calamity of evil, he committed an unforgivable crime of excessive slaughter, and was thus invited to Mount Shu by the Five Elders of Mount Shu. Soon, realizing his mistake, Zixiao Loose Immortal shattered his own immortal soul with a single palm strike, atoning for his sins with a lifetime of Celestial Immortal cultivation.

However, the reincarnated Zixiao Immortal is not the current Wei Renjie.

Instead, he joined a large family in the secular world.

Although this large family was only in the secular world, they had excellent relationships with the imperial court, the surrounding independent cultivators, and two small immortal sects, which caused the spread of the Dharma at the nearby Great Vajra Temple to fail repeatedly.

The Purple Cloud Immortal, who was reincarnated into this large family, happened to possess the cultivation conditions for the Vajra Wrathful Hell Subduing Demon Body in this life. Thus, through a series of coincidences, he entered the Great Vajra Temple, received the true teachings, and became a living Arhat, equivalent to a human immortal.

However, although he became an Arhat, he had to repay his sins with all his cultivation in this life because of the excessive killing in his previous life.

After that, this immortal from the Purple Clouds went through many reincarnations, achieving great success in each life and making a name for himself.

However, upon achieving fame and success, he was forced to pay for his sins.

However, the reason why the Purple Cloud Immortal has achieved extraordinary things in each of his reincarnations is not because of his own extraordinary nature, but because of the Purple Cloud True Power contained in his soul.

After so many reincarnations, that wisp of Purple Heaven True Power was completely worn away.

Thus, in this life, the Purple Cloud Immortal became Wei Renjie, and was then taken in as a disciple by a Celestial Immortal from Mount Shu. In just over twenty years, he cultivated himself to the level of an Earth Immortal.

Those in the know all praised Wei Renjie, saying that he had finally paid off his karmic debts and that his suffering had finally come to an end.

Because of his young age, Wei Renjie had a rather unruly personality, and whenever he encountered people from evil sects, he would inevitably verbally insult them.

For example, when Wei Renjie knocked on the door of the Buddhist temple cave at this moment, he claimed to be the grandfather of the demon monk.

Upon hearing this voice, the demon monk's face immediately darkened. Without a second thought, he transformed into a golden ray of light, piercing through his cave and disappearing into the clouds. His ability to repeatedly escape from the "Four Heroes of Shu Mountain" wasn't solely due to his mastery of the Mind Realm technique; this incredibly skillful Golden Light Cloud Escape was also one of his specialties.

The reason why this technique cannot be used in the human world of Yaotian is entirely due to insufficient recovery of cultivation.

Although the demon monk was resurrected from his servants, these servants were carefully raised by the demon monk. Therefore, upon resurrection, the demon monk's cultivation level had already reached the Human Immortal level. After consuming a few pills prepared in advance, he had already raised his cultivation level to the Earth Immortal level.

As for celestial beings, they cannot reach that level in this way; they need to cultivate in seclusion for decades.

This is because the demon monk's mental realm is not as perfect as Bai Chijing's; it has some inherent flaws.

Otherwise, after being resurrected, there would be no need for such recovery, as each resurrection represents the peak of one's cultivation!

Just like the White Pond scene at this moment!

"You wicked monk, don't run away! Just you wait!" Wei Renjie's voice rang out again, followed by a dazzling golden rainbow that shot straight through the sun.

This is the magic sword bestowed upon Wei Renjie by Mount Shu, Zhenwu Tianzun.

This is a perfect match for Wei Renjie in this life.

In the hands of other cultivators, even sword masters, this sword can only achieve a state of perfect harmony between man and sword. But in Wei Renjie's hands, it can manifest the true form of a martial artist and recreate the majesty of a Heavenly Venerable.

It was precisely because of this sword that Wei Renjie was invincible. Even when facing a demon monk at the Heavenly Immortal realm, he killed him so badly that his thousand years of cultivation were rendered meaningless, and he could only flee for his life in a sorry state.

That's absolutely unreasonable!
After Wei Renjie and the demon monk left, a group of young men and women entered the cave on swords.

The group of young men were all tall and handsome, but when they entered the cave, they couldn't hide their arrogance. No matter what they looked at, they had a haughty attitude.

Then, without saying a word, the group of people used their magical swords to hack and slash at the servants inside the cave.

These magical swords each radiate spiritual light, their bodies resembling crystal, allowing them to move freely.

Although many of the demon monks and servants in the Buddhist temple had achieved minor Qi Refining, they were unable to even put up a fight at this moment.

Because often, just when one side manages to raise a golden bowl, the other side will slash it with a single sword strike.

The bowl cracked, and its spiritual essence vanished instantly.

The magical swords wielded by these young men and women were of extremely high quality! They were far superior to the magical artifacts that these servants had crafted themselves from materials they had gathered.

The magical treasures in the Shu Mountain Realm are classified according to their cultivation level, just like those in the Yao Tian Realm.

Among them, the magical swords held by the young men and women in this group were magical treasures of immortals. Meanwhile, the magical treasures crafted by the demon monks and servants within the Buddhist temple were merely Qi-cultivation treasures.

Many of them are barely even algorithmic treasures.

Given such a qualitative difference, when these young men and women in this line of work get into a fight, it's naturally no different from chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

In the Shu Mountain Realm, a key factor affecting the combat power of cultivators is magical treasures!

"Senior Brother Xiao, all the evil cultivators under this demonic monk have been killed. However..." Soon, someone came to report to a young man who was leading the group, but as he spoke, he showed some hesitation.

"But what?" The young man surnamed Xiao raised an eyebrow and gestured to his junior brother to speak freely.

“We found a little child inside this demonic monk’s cave. Because this child doesn’t have any cultivation, my junior brother is a bit unsure what to do,” the man quickly said.

They were all newly initiated disciples of Shushan, and their cultivation levels were all at the beginner stage of Qi Refining. Only the "Senior Brother Xiao" in front of them had reached the minor completion stage of Qi Refining.

When they came here with their fellow disciple Wei Renjie, they were ordered to kill everyone with cultivation in the demon monk's cave.

Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Xiao was about to frown, but before his brows fully furrowed, he relaxed and said in a high-spirited tone, "If he has no cultivation, then he must have been recently captured! Our Shu Mountain is a prestigious and righteous sect, the leader of the righteous path. Since this little brat hasn't yet cultivated that demonic monk's Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment, then he is an innocent person. Go and test his aptitude. If it is acceptable, then bring him back to Shu Mountain."

"Yes!"

The person who came to report immediately responded.

The young man surnamed Xiao's answer seemed reasonable to both the man himself and those around him. Only one person who was close to him and knew him well was somewhat surprised.

Because this young man surnamed Xiao, to put it nicely, was someone who hated evil as if it were his enemy; to put it bluntly, he had an excessive desire to kill.

Therefore, killing that mortal child with a single sword strike was the usual practice of this young man surnamed Xiao.

However, upon further reflection, those close to the young man surnamed Xiao found this quite reasonable. Although the fellow disciples who accompanied him were all newcomers, their backgrounds were far from ordinary.

They were either powerful families from secular dynasties or from distant lands beyond the mortal realm. For example, one of their junior sisters came from the ancient kingdom of supernatural powers.

The people of the ancient kingdom of supernatural powers are not incapable of cultivation, but simply lack the knowledge of it.

Moreover, people of the Ancient Kingdom of Supernatural Powers are allowed to intermarry with outsiders, so many of the new generation of people from the Ancient Kingdom of Supernatural Powers not only possess innate supernatural powers, but also have extremely superior talent for cultivation.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for this young man surnamed Xiao to deliberately demonstrate the benevolence of Mount Shu at this moment.

Before long, this group of newly initiated disciples of Mount Shu left the Buddhist temple cave. And when they left, they naturally took with them a figure that looked exactly like Bai Chijing.

However, this is not Shiraike Kei, but rather a reflection of Shiraike Kei's inspiration.

Although Bai Chijing could easily resurrect unharmed even if killed, it's best to avoid the risk if possible. Who knows what those five Golden Immortals from Mount Shu are thinking?

Then, Bai Chijing's true form did not leave this place. He simply let his outer mental realm continue to expand outward until it completely covered the area below the cliff.

He intends to transform the demon monk's dilapidated cave into his own sacred site here.

Although many people died here, it doesn't matter; they can all be thrown into the ceaselessly flowing, winding water. As for the belongings within the former demon monk's cave, it was as if time had been accelerated, and they all weathered away, turning to dust. In an instant, this former cave of one of the ten most powerful figures in the Shu Mountain Realm was forgotten by countless people.

After Xinxiang ascends to the Outer Mind Realm, even if someone has never met Bai Chijing, as long as they know something about it, they can still be affected by the Outer Mind Realm.

……

While Bai Chijing's true form silently displayed the "power of an old monster," his inspired reflection appeared utterly helpless.

Because these Shu Mountain disciples flew too slowly.

After all, their cultivation levels were not high, with the highest being only at the minor stage of Qi Refining. Naturally, this group of young men and women would fly for a while and then stop to rest.

In addition, they dared not fly too high, so when they encountered some mountains blocking their way, these Shushan disciples had to take detours.

So Bai Chijing simply began to observe the cultivation levels within these Shushan disciples.

Unlike the External Realm, which requires breaking through to the Middle External Realm to cultivate Dao, in the Shu Mountain Realm, as long as one completes the Hundred-Day Foundation Building and then cultivates a suitable Qi Refining Method, one can cultivate Dao.

However, the cultivation bottlenecks here are far more numerous than in Yao Tian's cultivation system, and even the spiritual energy is toxic.

It can only be said that each has its own advantages.

On this day, these disciples of Mount Shu flew around a mountain peak, and then suddenly, they heard shouts of killing.

Bai Chijing's inspired gaze fell upon the verdant mountain path, where a clear spring cascaded down a precipice, creating a misty spray. And deep within this mist was the source of the shouts of battle.

There were two groups of people facing off there.

The leader on one side was a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a moon-white robe and wearing a fish-tail crown. He had a thin face, and the faint sound of swords could be heard around him. Around him were several other cultivators whose bodies emitted a faint blue sword light, clearly his fellow disciples.

Opposite them stood seven cultivators, each dressed differently but exuding a fierce aura. The leader, dressed in a dark blue outfit, had a crimson sword lying across his face. His expression was gloomy, and his narrow eyes shone with a sharp light.

Behind this person were some cultivators, whose identities were unclear, whether they were from the same sect or shared the same path. Their auras were quite mixed, unlike the unified auras on the other side.

At this moment, it was the man dressed in a dark black outfit with a gloomy face who spoke first, breaking the deadlock: "Brother Daoist, this Spirit King Ginseng is not within your sect's territory, therefore it is ownerless and should rightfully belong to someone destined to possess it. What is the reason for your sect to seize this rare treasure without distinguishing right from wrong? Do you think you can be so domineering just because you have some connection with Mount Shu?"

Although the man lowered his stance while speaking, those behind him all showed signs of anger at that moment.

“Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. Although this Spirit King Ginseng is naturally grown, to be honest, long before my sect’s founder descended from Mount Shu and established the Qingyun Sect, he received guidance from the elders of Mount Shu, who said that my sect’s founder had worked hard for Mount Shu all his life, and that before his lifespan was about to end, he should enjoy a Spirit King Ginseng and obtain the merit of a human immortal.” The middle-aged Daoist wearing a fish-tail crown said this upon hearing this.

"Too deceiving!"

Upon hearing these words, the cultivators on the other side could not swallow their anger.

Because Qingyun Sect was founded 1,200 years ago.

A single ginseng plant, known as the "King of Spiritual Enlightenment," typically takes five hundred years to grow from its birth to maturity.

It's one thing for the Shu Mountain sect to be domineering, but the Qingyun Sect was founded by a mere menial disciple of the Shu Mountain sect. How dare they act like this? Do they think they're all dead men?

As a result, the war was about to break out.

The crimson sword emitted a burst of bloody light, within which countless hideous ghostly phantoms emitted mournful and piercing howls.

This move had been brewing for a long time, and when it was unleashed, it made a great contribution.

The Qingyun Sect members froze instantly.

Unable to move.

However, at this moment, a clear voice rang out: "You heretics have quite the audacity. You dare to disobey the prophecy of my Shu Mountain elders! You are truly lowly people, unable to understand the true words of the Immortal Venerable! And you, this evil cultivator, have actually forged such a magical sword. Do you even deserve to wield a sword?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light descended, instantly severing the crimson sword with the power of a human immortal's magic weapon, and also killing three people on this side.

The person who made the move was none other than the young man surnamed Xiao.

He was only at the minor stage of Qi Refining, while the man who forged that crimson, malevolent sword was at the major stage of Qi Refining. Yet, when facing this young man surnamed Xiao, not only was his magic weapon shattered in a single exchange, but he was also severely injured by the locking force of his Qi.

"I'll sever your sword as punishment for disgracing the way of the sword. Do you have any objections?" The young man surnamed Xiao approached with his sword, raising his head to look at the disheveled man dressed in a dark blue outfit.

"Cultivate clear judgment!"

The man in the dark brown outfit turned pale and quickly lowered his head to answer.

"Then cut off your own arm and get lost!" the young man surnamed Xiao ordered casually, his tone full of contempt. He had originally had some murderous intent, but now he had lost interest in it instantly.

"Many thanks to the monks of Mount Shu for their kindness!"

Upon hearing this, the man dressed in dark blue tight-fitting clothes dared not resist at all. He cut off his own arm and, without bothering to stop the bleeding, turned and left in a sorry state.

The other three surviving members of the heretical sects, seeing this, dared not linger any longer and fled in panic.

"Many thanks to fellow Daoist from Mount Shu for your help!"

At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist priest with a slender face clasped his hands in a salute.

Several fellow disciples around him naturally followed suit, bowing and expressing their gratitude, all adopting a very humble posture.

The young man surnamed Xiao didn't seem to care much. He simply nodded in response, then flew away on his sword and returned to the group of Shu Mountain disciples who were now floating in mid-air.

"Fellow disciples, this matter is not our concern, but it does involve the prophecy of our Shushan elders. Although the elders' prophecies are never wrong, there are always some lowly heretics who do not understand destiny and have no respect for it. Therefore, we need to take appropriate action! Only in this way can we show the prestige of the leaders of the righteous path of Shushan and better protect the safety of the common people!" The young man surnamed Xiao explained in a calm tone.

"Yes, Senior Brother! We swear to defend the honor of Mount Shu to the death!"

The others readily agreed, expressing their loyalty to Mount Shu.

After all, this is the number one immortal sect in the world!

However, Bai Chijing's inspired self, witnessing this scene, found it utterly absurd. Natural treasures are born of nature, and anyone is entitled to them.

This so-called prophetic statement from the elder of Mount Shu is nothing but an attempt to claim credit for Heaven's work!
Even the demonic cultivators of Yaotian wouldn't dare to do this!
However, although it was absurd, Bai Chijing didn't care too much, because at this moment he was more concerned about the cultivation level of those few heretical people.

Previously, they were just servants in the caves of some demon monks, and Bai Chijing was not sure. But now he was certain that these were the evil people who cultivated their Taoist skills, which were inherently inferior to those of the Shu Mountain disciples.

This is why the young man surnamed Xiao beat up a Qi Refining Master as if he were beating his grandson.

Achieving mastery of Qi cultivation is equivalent to becoming a high-ranking external minister.

In Yaotian, if someone of a lower cultivation level were to provoke a person of the Outer Aspect Realm, even if the other party possessed a magic weapon of the Outer Heaven Realm, it would only take a little more time to kill them.

"What's inside the bodies of cultivators in the Shu Mountain Realm is less about cultivation level and more about things like true qi and magical power, which can have a qualitative difference."

As Bai Chijing was thinking this, his gaze suddenly paused slightly.

Because at this moment he "saw" that the Qingyun Sect group, after taking the Spirit King Ginseng, began chasing after those evil cultivators.

Apart from the one who had lost an arm and reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the other three were quickly killed by the Qingyun Sect.

"The cultivators on Mount Shu have already let us go!"

The person who had reached the peak of Qi cultivation shouted in utter frustration.

"Eliminate evil completely! Besides, it's just that the fellow Daoists from Mount Shu let you go, but that doesn't mean we'll let you go too!" Upon hearing this, the gaunt-faced middle-aged Daoist couldn't help but laugh.

He then laughed himself to death.

At the same time, the old monster's inspired body slowly withdrew its gaze.
