My disciple's cultivation returns ten thousand times, so I have to be invincible.

At the same time as Bai Ling made her move, Ren Guxing and the others also took action, trying to capture the black-clad priest and the black god.

It took them years to finally track down the Black God's true form. Once they let him go, who knows when they'll be able to do it again?

The power of death emanating from the Black God was terrifying. Looking across the starry sky, apart from the immortal White Silk and Zhong Qing himself, it was hard to imagine what other being could withstand it.

Even innate gods and demons are subject to life and death, which means they too are unable to resist the power of death.

Who knows what will happen, or what serious consequences, if this power falls into the hands of this mysterious and obviously ambitious priest?

However, none of their attacks managed to break through the black-clad priest's light barrier.

They could only watch helplessly as the black-clad priests took the Black God away.

Before they completely disappear.

A cold glint flashed in the black-clad priest's eyes.

"If you continue to grow, it will also be a huge threat."

"So before that, you should go to sleep."

Just before the shadows of the black-clad priest and the black god disappeared, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the spot where they had vanished, striking Bai Ling squarely in the chest.

Bai Ling could have dodged the attack earlier, but she had lowered her guard because she thought the two were about to escape, and that's how she got hit.

But what struck Bai Ling's chest was a strange flower with a metallic color and a shape somewhat like a lotus.

The golden lotus slowly bloomed on Bai Ling's chest, displaying a splendid beauty. The next moment, the petals continued to spread, wrapping around Bai Ling's body in reverse.

Bai Ling threw a punch, trying to scatter the petals, but the petals instead spread up her arm and wrapped around her, engulfing her completely in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no... This is a seal! Some kind of imprisoning celestial artifact!"

Ren Guxing's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to eliminate the petals.

However, these petals seemed endless. As the five people eliminated billions of petals, even more petals were born in an instant. They themselves had no destructive power, but continued to split and spread, wrapping the white silk in them.

The petals that had been submerged and wrapped in white silk began to close up layer by layer, eventually forming a golden lotus the size of a person, with only seventy-two petals remaining, which floated quietly in the starry sky.

The white silk ribbon was no longer visible.

"Indeed, this is some kind of seal."

"But it is unlike any known sealing technique."

Ren Guxing and the others were too late to stop her. Their faces turned grim as they approached Jinlian and began casting spells in an attempt to analyze and break the spell.

Clearly, this was because the black-clad priest, after discovering that even the power of death could not harm Bai Ling, became wary of Bai Ling's immortality and wanted to restrict her through some means.

The best way to deal with an immortal being is naturally to seal them.

If we were to use the standards of immortality, this golden lotus would probably be at least a Universe-level immortal artifact, or even close to the level of a supreme immortal artifact.

But the power and operating methods involved are unlike anything they know.

"It seems this is not a method of immortality."

Cang Xuanzi stared at the golden lotus and said in a deep voice.

"The so-called priest was clearly not a cultivator."

"It is very likely...something that existed before the Immortal Path."

The path to immortality is a means created by beings born after birth to improve themselves in order to get closer to the innate gods and demons.

By the time before the Great Calamity, the path of immortality had spread throughout the starry sky, reaching maturity and even its peak.

But clearly, the path to immortality is not the only one.

However, the other paths were not successful and could not compete with the Immortal Path.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

The appearance of the black-clad priests suggests that a path comparable to, or even surpassing, the Immortal Path may have existed before it.
