Chapter 151: Immortality Has Already Failed

The slender figure in the water pavilion still gazed at him silently; after a long while, a cold, indifferent voice finally spoke.

"No need for interference—whether the Master Jianzu comes or not makes no difference."

Makes no difference?

The Councilor was slightly surprised, but immediately a surge of wild joy rose in his heart.

Could it be that this elder already has absolute certainty…

"Congratulations, Elder…"

Before the words of congratulation were finished, the Councilor felt all scenery before him dissolving; in an instant, strange purple mist surrounded him.

A purple mass of flesh lurked within the mist, like a pulsating giant heart—deeply eerie.

Moreover, his once-placid spirit grew tense again, fear continuously rising.

Clearly, he had been expelled to the deepest reaches of the Secret Realm.

"…"

No, Elder, couldn't you just throw me out directly?! The Councilor sighed inwardly, but had no choice—he could only retrace his steps, walking slowly outward.

And at this moment, in the deepest reaches of the Secret Realm, a paradise fit for immortals.

Within the water pavilion, the seated slender figure's face was cold and expressionless; her fair, delicate skin writhed continuously.

"Heaven gives all things to nourish humanity…"

A vast, ancient voice echoed beside her ear, but it was cut short mid-sentence by a cold voice.

"Enough."

The vast, ancient voice fell silent.

Then, a flash of colorful light appeared in the slender figure's eyes, and a divine figure, seemingly forged from seven-colored divine radiance, stepped forward as if emerging from antiquity.

Yet upon the chest and abdomen of that magnificent seven-colored divine figure, a terrifying sword-light—capable of severing all things, even the Dao itself—continuously slithered.

The two figures locked gazes, their eyes equally cold and indifferent.

"Your attempt to breach the Immortal Gate has failed," Gu said first. "Had I not severed your heart's qi and nourished your spirit, you would have long since perished—your soul extinguished, your Dao vanished."

In ages past, the Master Jianzu severed the heart's qi of the Cang Clan, securing a sliver of victory.

Now, borrowing his past shadow, though unable to sever the heart's qi of humanity as he once did, severing the heart's qi of the True Path Alliance was effortless.

Thus is the cycle of cause and effect—retribution never fails.

"Hah!" The slender figure sneered. "You merely seek to borrow my Dao."

"This is your only chance," Gu's tone remained unmoved by her exposure. "You should understand well the Master Jianzu's strength."

A scene seemed to appear before her…

It was the Master Jianzu swinging his blade—only to be drowned by an unmatched sword-light!

"What happened in the past? Isn't it all subject to your manipulation?" the slender figure said coldly.

Gu said no more and vanished.

If there were truly no doubts, why accept the nourishment of heart's qi?

Humans are masters of hypocrisy.

As Gu vanished, the slender figure did not close her eyes; the eerie writhing beneath her skin grew even more horrifying.

Aside from the fabrications Gu invented, one thing was true.

Everyone in the Alliance, including Gu Mo, believed she was about to breach the Immortal Gate—but only she herself knew the truth…

Her attempt to breach the Immortal Gate had already failed, and the backlash had come with overwhelming force.

Thus, she could only huddle within this tiny space formed from the condensed heart's qi of the True Path Alliance.

Yet, strangely enough, she truly felt the trend of attempting the Immortal Gate once more.

But…

Just as the exterior of the Secret Realm is the true reality.

The slender figure gently caressed her refined cheek—or rather, touched the terrifying entity hidden within.

As time passed, her struggle grew weaker and weaker.

What is true heart? …………

Western Star Region, Chi Yu Star System, Chifeng 47th Star System.

Fifth planet.

Inside a hidden cave, Zhang Yunlu pulled out the arrow embedded in her waist and abdomen; blood sprayed out, yet was quickly suppressed by her true qi.

She swallowed a pill and settled her breath.

As the pill's potency took effect, the grotesque, horrifying wound healed at a visible rate; her true qi, reduced to one-quarter, gradually returned to full.

The black-and-white Dao platform upon her true qi sea grew increasingly solid and heavy, its colors becoming more vivid in the process.

Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage cultivate to make their Dao platform capable of bearing the Weight of the Golden Core.

And now, Zhang Yunlu was nearly at mid-Foundation Establishment!

During this period, unable to find a way to evade detection by the biological weapons' central core, Zhang Yunlu chose the most crude method—kill every Fifth Third Third Jiajiao in Wang Cheng.

Warfare raged across all regions of the fifth planet; reinforcement would be impossible in the short term, so Wang Cheng's defenses were severely limited.

She launched multiple assassinations against Wang Cheng.

When her true qi ran out, she withdrew; when injured, she took pills to recover swiftly.

Through her repeated assassinations, the number of Fifth Third Third Jiajiao in Wang Cheng had dropped to less than one-tenth of its original number, and several of the biological weapon serpents had died in her hands.

And just fifteen minutes ago, during this latest strike, the alien king hid in ambush, wounding her—but she severed one of his arms in return.

Intense combat, repeated brushes with death, had accelerated her cultivation speed dramatically.

"This time, it's enough!"

Zhang Yunlu opened her eyes, a flash of spiritual light gleaming within them.

Fewer than one-tenth of the Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe remained—she could absolutely break through their line and kill the Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe's king.

If she delayed any longer, even if the front-line battle turned unfavorable, new Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe reinforcements would surely return to defend.

The thought arose, and an ice-crystal longsword appeared before her—its translucent blade spotlessly clean, bright and exquisite, even emanating a faint, joyful emotion.

Nurtured within the Moon Shadow Secret Realm and honed with the blood of tens of thousands of alien races, this sword, whose grade was not particularly high, had now birthed an extremely faint spark of spirituality.

The next moment, Zhang Yunlu rode her sword out of the cave and headed straight for Wang Cheng.

……

……

Within the royal palace.

A tall figure clad in a splendid golden robe and wearing Wang Guan sat atop Wang Zuo with an iron-blue expression, looking down at the subjects kneeling below.

One of his sleeves hung empty, fury churning in his eyes.

"Damned lowly humans!"

Even now, he had to admit he had indeed underestimated that human.

Judging by her aura, she was clearly only at the Lie Lu level, yet she was unimaginably strong!

Facing the siege of countless cultivators of the same realm, she had actually been able to come and go as she pleased—even when he personally joined the ambush, he had instead lost an arm.

"Damn it!"

If his power had not been suppressed, he could have crushed this kind of ant with a single finger; now he could only hide within the royal palace and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The frustration in his heart was simply beyond words.

Boom!

A tremendous crash! The Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe king's expression grew even uglier.

That damned human had come again! The kneeling Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe below trembled slightly at the sound.

Their former realm had once been far higher than that of ordinary Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe members, so the effect on them was considerably weaker.

Perhaps when facing the human directly, their survival instinct would be overwhelmed by greed, but merely hearing the sound was not yet to that point.

"Report—!"

Sure enough, a panicked Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe soldier rushed into the royal palace.

"Reporting to the supreme king, that human has attacked again!"

"Hold her back! Absolutely cannot let her break in."

Having said this, the Fifth Third Third Jiajiao tribe king waved everyone out, then turned and walked behind Wang Zuo himself.

Even with the holy artifact he had been hiding and all the city's citizens, he could do nothing to that human; now fewer than one-tenth of the city's citizens remained, making it even more impossible to hold her back.

Then let that human slaughter and vent her fury.

Based on the lessons of previous times, once she had killed to her satisfaction, she would naturally leave.

He absolutely could not take risks—he had to wait until reinforcements arrived!
