I am a living immortal.

In fact, this is true. At least until now, they are still going smoothly, but this smooth sailing is relative.

It’s just a little late now.

They have put themselves in danger because of their recklessness, and there is no turning back.

But then again, a certain amount of caution is helpful, but it shouldn't make the two of them timid. After all, a smooth journey is a sign of ability, not to mention that their master is so dedicated to preventing them from suffering.

They come, the security.

The two of them became more alert and continued on their way.

Only when they arrived at the foot of the mountain did they truly feel the majesty of the mountain.

Riding the wind, they climbed to the summit, which was covered in snow yet seemed incredibly sacred. They encountered other survivors: three demons, one monster, and one immortal. The five of them had already arrived outside the main hall.

The Jade Palace stands there quietly.

The five people stood outside the hall, just five. The previous battle had essentially kept ninety-nine percent of the people outside. This was a foregone conclusion. After all, that monstrous being with immortality was not easy to deal with, or even difficult to handle.

"We meet again." The immortal whom they met in the teahouse before greeted them.

"yes."

The man didn't care about these two simple words. He just spoke to himself, as if he was talking to Yun Yue and Lin Yuan, or to everyone present.

"It's pretty much the same as I imagined, just about the same number of people. It's just that the insect demon didn't come up, it seems fate is playing tricks on us and we just lack a bit of luck."

"But this outcome isn't much different."

Of course, this person could also see what Lin Yuan and Yun Yue could perceive.

Knowing your opponent is a must.

This soliloquy received no response from the crowd. The three demons stared at the palace ahead, unsure of what to think. The adult-shaped goblin, with a blush on his face, burped.

In contrast, Lin Yuan and Yun Yue ignored each other.

From now on, everyone is an opponent. There is no benefit in saying more or less, so I won’t waste any more words.

The two men looked past the speaker and towards the palace. These people had arrived earlier or later, yet they hadn't entered. It certainly wasn't because they were waiting for everyone to arrive. The only reason they were waiting here was because they didn't dare or couldn't.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the self-familiar immortal touched his nose awkwardly and muttered, "It seems that my opponent is a bit arrogant."

"You see, flowers can be useful. This is obviously not a problem that you or I can solve alone. Do you want to work together?"

The immortal had a purpose for saying those things before, which was to attract the public's unfavorable impression. Although it seemed to be a futile effort, no one wanted to pay attention to him.

But he had one point, which was that this was not something that could be resolved by one person, it was an established fact. They could either give up and go back to their own homes, which was obviously unacceptable to everyone.

Otherwise, they would have to cooperate reluctantly and at least get through this hurdle. Otherwise, let alone getting the inheritance, they would just stare at each other in disbelief and be unable to do anything.

After the immortal finished speaking, he was still responded with silence.

He wasn't in a hurry; everyone had their own considerations. Outside, the wind and snow were howling. He didn't know how much time had passed before all the words he had spoken were swept away by the wind and snow, never to be seen again.

Just then, someone finally responded.

"How do we cooperate? Attack together?" The spirit was the first to respond. Although he hated to admit it, he was the weakest of the group. Three demons, three immortals, and he was a lone spirit, weak and vulnerable.

"Otherwise, maybe you have a better way."

Lin Yuan and Yun Yue remained silent, staring instead at the palace, or rather, the guard at the palace's gate. He was a heavily armored guard, over three feet tall, his upper body a humanoid, covered in golden armor and wielding a halberd, while his lower body was the form of a tiger, with brown and black markings and sturdy limbs.

He was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He stood guard at the door, motionless. Yet, everyone present could sense his immense strength. If one were to draw a comparison, he was like a Taoist initiate. While this analogy might not be entirely accurate, the point was clear.

Having such a presence guarding the gate was truly a luxury, but also a safe one. After all, the fact that even the most cunning demon could only stand in awe and stare blankly from afar spoke volumes.

After all, if there was even the slightest chance, they would try at all costs. But facing this guard, they had no idea where to begin. He wasn't a normal creature; just standing there, his aura enveloped the entire palace. There was no other solution except to defeat him head-on.

But the difficulty lies in how to defeat the opponent. This is different from the undead monsters they encountered before.

All it takes is a bit of patience and time to constantly try to find the opponent's weaknesses and then kill them. The only problem is that they are impossible to kill. But how could there be something in this world that is immortal? To put it bluntly, the world cannot be eternal.

Eternity, immortality, and immortality—these absolute terms themselves aren't very precise. Furthermore, the idea that even the gods who created these monsters could remain in eternal silence, and that the monsters they created could be immortal, seems a bit far-fetched.

but......

All of this has a prerequisite, that is, you can kill the other party.

If you can't kill these undead monsters even once, there's no need to talk about the future.

And now, the problem lies before us.

They simply couldn't kill each other in a one-on-one fight, not to mention who could know if this being also possessed that bizarre immortality?

No one dares to gamble his life on that uncertainty.

So, after the first person responded, the rest followed suit. There wasn't any beating around the bush, showing that everyone had some guts.

"Very good, now there is only one problem left." The immortal clapped his hands.

"So can the seven of us defeat them?"

"Yes." The remaining six people said at the same time.

The answer is yes.

"I'm starting to admire you guys a little bit. So go ahead, teammates."

After saying this, the immortal was the first to rush forward.

The others didn't care about the silly question of why he was giving the orders, and they all put all their efforts into it. After all, if they weren't careful, they could really die. Their earlier comparison of the strength of those who had entered the Dao wasn't an exaggeration, but a statement of fact.

And the giant statue guarding the gate also moved in an instant.
