Chapter 418: Black Nematode!

The Heavenly Immortal Realm is equivalent to the Ninth Tier in the Pot Heaven.

As for titles, they are quite varied in the North King Time Domain.

Some are called Immortal Lords, others Heavenly Lords, and even various Holy Venerables and Old Ancestors.

In the Daoist lineage, there are more Immortal Lords, while other factions are dominated by Old Ancestors.

And this seems to better fit the description required for a Heavenly Immortal's breakthrough.

After all, every Ninth Tier in this Cultivation World has, to a greater or lesser extent, spread the Dao to the myriad worlds.

They have spread their own inherited Dharma lineages to countless Small Worlds.

They even go so far as to spare no cost in consuming vast resources to refine various inherited divine weapons or Dharma treasures.

And then they cast them into the Time-Space Turbulence and time-space vortices.

Letting them seek their own opportunities throughout the long passage of time.

In the current North King Time Domain.

The fact that so many Small Worlds have Return to Void and Dao Integration powerhouses appear as soon as they enter the world.

Can be said to be inseparable from the contributions of these Heavenly Immortals.

…………

This young master of the Cao Family, who came from the family of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family.

Performed a display of what he thought was cleverness in the Xuanling World auction venue.

In the eyes of this young master, by taking the initiative to soften his stance, he had not truly used the prestige of his Old Ancestor to lose face for the entity existing behind the other party.

In the eyes of those in high positions, this was merely a small squabble between juniors, not worth mentioning.

After all, under normal circumstances, just as this young master of the Cao Family was not truly willing to offend a force suspected of having a Heavenly Immortal behind it for this.

The guardian of the other party here, as long as they were slightly sensible, would certainly not dare to fall out with a Heavenly Immortal family over this.

And he himself could thus steadily obtain that Spirit Herb and win the favor of his Old Ancestor.

Thinking of this, the young master of the Cao Family excitedly glanced at the projection of the Spirit Herb at the auction house again.

This was a genuine, high-quality item.

Combined with other heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the family, it was possible to refine a longevity-extending pill that even a Heavenly Immortal could use.

Although theoretically, one could obtain a long life of tens of thousands of years or even longer after becoming a Heavenly Immortal.

But in reality, hidden dangers in the cultivation process, and various dark wounds involving the depths of the primordial spirit left behind during the process of resisting the Dark Catastrophe or fighting powerhouses of the same realm.

And even defects that were not noticed during the breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal itself.

All led to some great divine ability users in the Heavenly Immortal Realm often aging after several thousand years, with their Divine Souls also heading downhill.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Immortal Old Ancestor of the Cao Family was of the type with more defects...

And had always had a soft spot for Spirit Herbs involving life extension and consolidating the Divine Soul.

This young master of the Cao Family stared at Elder Lu.

He had already seen the hesitation and the inclination toward compromise in Elder Lu's emotional fluctuations.

Just as he began to smile in his heart.

Elder Lu and Deacon Xiahou suddenly turned solemn in expression.

Looking coldly at the two, the old and the young of the Cao Family, they said:

"We hold respect for the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family."

"But rules are rules!"

"Guest number 112, you have disrupted the order of the venue."

"You have lost your auction eligibility, please leave the venue and provide compensation."

"Considering that you have not caused too much damage, we will not make things too difficult for you."

"Huh?"

The young master of the Cao Family opened his mouth wide, doubting he had heard correctly.

"Do... do you know what you are saying?"

"Does the force behind you agree with you offending a Heavenly Immortal?"

The young master of the Cao Family flushed red.

Having grown up so big, this was the first time he had encountered a force that did not give him face.

If it weren't for seeing the Xuanwu Jie beaten into ruins while passing by, knowing that the strength behind the scenes was not bad.

This young master of the Cao Family would have already moved to kill.

The old servant of the Cao Family also sighed in his heart, flashed to the young master's side, and faintly exuded his aura.

The realm of this old servant was not higher than that of Elder Lu.

But the various Dharma treasures on the other party made Elder Lu feel immense pressure.

However, this time Elder Lu bit the bullet and shouted:

"Still daring to resist?"

"This Venerable thinks you are the ones who are bold and reckless!"

"Do you really think the Xuanling World is still the same Xuanling World as before!"

"This is a place under the protection of the Savior Heavenly Venerable, how can you be so presumptuous!"

Elder Lu was righteous and awe-inspiring, his whole person was graceful, and there was even sunlight faintly emerging from his body.

The two, the old and the young of the Cao Family, also frowned slightly, secretly communicating and planning to leave the venue first, and then contact people in the family to see how to handle it.

The old servant suddenly felt danger approaching and let out a low cry:

"Young master, be careful!"

The next instant, accompanied by a flash of white light, it vanished from above the main hall.

The two people from the Cao Family, the old and the young, who had been acting so aggressively just before.

Had vanished without a trace.

The Cultivators in the venue were no ordinary Cultivators.

They could tell that this was not the Cao Family pair choosing to disappear on their own.

Rather, they had been swept away by that flash of white light just now!

These Cultivators naturally guessed that this must have been the handiwork of a Great Ability behind the auction house.

It was no wonder that Lu Zhanglao had suddenly become so firm.

It was just unclear whether the one who acted was that same Great Ability who wiped out the Profound Martial Sect?

And it was unknown how many such Great Abilities this Savior Heavenly Venerable faction possessed?

"Ahem, those who violated the Order have already been taken away."

"Fellow Daoists, let us continue with the auction of the next collection items!"

Xiahou Zhishi coughed, revealed a smiling face, and offered some reassurance.

As the host returned to the stage.

The attention of the Cultivators in the venue was refocused on the auction items.

Because of this disturbance by the Cao Family pair.

It actually caused this Spirit Herb to be auctioned off at a sky-high price far exceeding the estimated value.

Clearly, the young master of the Cao Family had let some Cultivators know the importance Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities placed on this kind of Spirit Herb.

They naturally tended to want to get their hands on these Spirit Herbs, so as to use them as a stepping stone to approach the other party.

For this, spending a few more Spirit Stones or the like was all worth it!

Outside the Xuanling World.

The two from the Cao Family, the old and the young, who had been swept away by Su Ping using an Array and the Divine Power of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

Were currently standing on the wilderness inside the Sun Moon Star Chart, looking up at the ten-thousand-meter-tall Youming Hufa Shenjun.

Facing such an incense-fed divine lord, both of them felt a tremendous sense of crisis.

"Kneel!"

The Hufa Shenjun issued a thunderous roar.

Under the loud noise, the young master of the Cao Family let out a cold snort:

"This faction is a bunch of lunatics! I suspect they are actually the Demon Sect in disguise!"

"You still want me to kneel? Do you know what this implies?"

Facing the young master of the Cao Family's questioning, the Hufa Shenjun made no response, only raising a large hand and gripping the air; immediately, a spear of lightning formed from deep green light, which was then hurled over.

The old servant hurriedly blocked in front of the young master, and as spiritual light flickered on his body, layers upon layers of crystalline shields appeared in front of him.

Bang! Bang, bang, bang!

Within a single breath, a series of strikes landed on the shields.

Afterwards, the old servant's face was seen to turn pale in an instant, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Following that, accompanied by a scream.

As the crystal shields shattered and dissipated, the old servant also landed on the ground, creating a large crater.

The young master of the Cao Family also retreated repeatedly, not paying any attention to whether the old servant was still alive.

Instead, he took out his waist token and held it high:

"You cannot!"

"You cannot treat me like this, this young master... this young master is the favorite direct grandson of the Old Ancestor!"

"The Old Ancestor has left many protections on this young master; touching me will surely enrage the Old Ancestor!"

"Is that so?"

Su Ping chuckled.

He had no confidence in running into the territories of those major factions.

But if the other party took the initiative to run to him, Su Ping was not afraid.

He fished out the Bronze Ghost Mask and shook it in his hand.

Instead of putting it on his own face, he threw it out.

After Su Ping had seized this Innate Supreme Treasure, he had originally thought he could continue to use it to swindle a meal ticket.

But after being brought into the Pot Heaven.

The Bronze Ghost Mask was like a little white rabbit entering a beast park.

The auras, whether overt or hidden on the mountain peaks everywhere, were enough to make this little mask tremble incessantly.

After being thrown into the Hu Shen Shensha to be fumigated with incense, and then placed in the Zhenwu Fumo Shensha to have one thousand three hundred and eighty Fumo Spells recited over it.

It was then taken to the Xukong Shengdian.

While seeing Chiyuan Xianren there, whom it fell in love with at first sight.

It was also shaken into being much more obedient and quiet by the aura of the Xukong Shengdian.

Then it was taken out by Su Ping to be used temporarily.

Although it had not acknowledged a master.

It could still be used by Su Ping to ambush people.

The Bronze Ghost Mask was thrown down and quickly rushed toward the young master of the Cao Family.

In the blink of an eye, the young master of the Cao Family's face was covered by the Bronze Ghost Mask.

After a fit of manic trembling.

This young master giggled as he walked toward the old servant who had fallen to the ground.

The various magic treasures on the old servant's body sensed danger and flew up.

Yet, instead of attacking the Cao Family young master, they had their control easily seized by him due to his status.

The Bronze Ghost Mask opened its large mouth and sucked in fiercely.

These various magic treasures, which served as the foundation of the Cao Family and could not be used by anyone without the Cao Family Bloodline, all had their spiritual light dim and shatter, turning into ordinary objects.

At the same time, the spiritual essence contained within them was all absorbed by the Bronze Ghost Mask, making its laughter grow even louder.

But after laughing for a while, the Bronze Ghost Mask suddenly thought about how these spiritual essences would eventually have to be used to create the evil world demons, its own dependents.

All to make them produce Harmony Realm Demon Crystals quickly and efficiently.

The Bronze Ghost Mask's mood suddenly turned sour.

Why, when it should clearly be sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor, devouring Harmony Realm or higher Demon Crystals delivered to its doorstep.

How did it turn into having to take action itself, helping to manufacture Harmony Realm Demon Crystals, only to watch others enjoy them?

The Filthy Evil World thought about fleeing.

But soon it recalled Chiyuan Xianren and immediately found itself unable to leave.

When it saw Chiyuan Xianren.

The Filthy Evil World saw the vision of itself being worn on her face, and then splitting the North King Time Domain with a single sword strike.

This convinced this Innate Supreme Treasure that it was the other party's destined object.

For this reason, suffering a little bit now was not entirely unacceptable.

After all, servants are easy to find, but a master worthy of being served... is something encountered once in ten thousand years!

After the magic treasures shattered and the waist token also turned into an ordinary object due to the loss of spiritual essence.

The Cao Family young master knelt before the Dharma-Protecting Divine Lord and began to confess everything he knew.

As a direct descendant young master of the Cao Family.

This person was named Cao Xuanwu, and he was an outstanding talent among the 'Xuan' generation.

He was not lying; he was indeed the one most valued by the Old Ancestor in this generation.

That was why he not only had a Harmony Realm old servant to protect him, but also carried various life-saving items on his person.

It was just that he had encountered Su Ping's Sun Moon Star Chart, an Artifact that formed a world of its own.

And the Underworld Realm was helping to seal off the space.

Furthermore, the first move had been a sneak attack with an Innate Supreme Treasure!

If it had been the previous Xuanwu Sect, they would never have been able to trap the other party.

It was also through the other party's answers.

Su Ping gradually learned of quite a few secrets.

For instance, like other great families, the Cao Family was also collecting Spirit Objects related to space.

It was rumored that an expert in the Dao Alliance had calculated that a catastrophe affecting the entire North King Time Domain would soon arrive.

At that time, the more stable each family's Small World-level Cave Heaven and Blessed Land was, the more they could reduce their losses.

In addition, the Dao Alliance would open the Sanshisan Chongtian, the safest and most mysterious place within its Dao Realm space.

And to enter and take refuge, aside from the quotas for various Elders, providing rare space-type Spirit Objects was another way to obtain a quota, and it was also the recognized mainstream method.

Then there was the fact that for the last two thousand years, the Cao Family's foundation had been constantly consumed to extend the Old Ancestor's life.

In these last few hundred years, the Old Ancestor was even suspected of having begun to practice some Evil Arts.

This made the Cao Family young master himself actually feel both awe and fear toward the Old Ancestor.

"Every year, the family must collect a million women and children who meet certain physical requirements for him to practice."

"This Heavenly Immortal Cao, I fear he has truly developed problems himself."

"Hmm?"

As Su Ping whispered in his heart, he immediately sensed a certain trigger.

It seemed that the information he had just learned.

Had instantly triggered some kind of restrictive divine ability.

Causing that Cao Family Old Heavenly Immortal to become aware.

And the Divine Soul within the Cao Family young master's body also suddenly underwent a strange change.

A Black Line Worm woke up within the Divine Soul and was just about to devour it.

When it saw the Bronze Ghost Mask giggle and swallow the Black Line Worm with its large mouth.

It actually ended up saving the Cao Family young master's life.

Su Ping had never seen that Black Line Worm before.

But it did not matter.

Biyuan World, Bronze High Tower.

Su Ping found the know-it-all Tian Rulai.

Recently, Tian Rulai had been doing quite well in the Buddha Realm.

According to Tian Rulai, it seemed he had achieved great success in his Dharma transmission.

The Buddha light on his body was even much brighter than that of many veteran Buddha Venerables.

Tian Rulai even glanced at Su Ping a few times because of this, seemingly guessing that it was related to Su Ping.

And Su Ping tacitly acknowledged this.

Su Ping had indeed tried to teach and impart the Great Freedom Bright Light Mantra over on Water Blue Star.

Furthermore, because it is simple and easy to understand, and easy to gain Entry, its popularity is not bad.

This is because the Fomen on Water Blue Star already had many High Monks.

Those High Monks were merely suffering from a lack of Spirit Qi and the absence of a correct method.

Having obtained the Great Freedom Bright Light Mantra this time, they naturally treated it like a Supreme Treasure.

Although, due to the short amount of time, even the most powerful among them have not been able to break through the Qi Refining level.

Yet, in their personal understanding and realization of the Great Freedom Bright Light Mantra, the High Monks are clearly far superior to those ordinary people.

And regarding the spreading of the Dharma.

Besides the number of people, quality is clearly also very important.

This caused Tian Rulai to satisfy many conditions for preaching the Dao in the dark, and his cultivation base rose continuously.

Su Ping entered the high tower, found the avatar of Tian Rulai, and took out the Black Line Worm.

"Amitabha."

"This is a Heavenly Demon Larva."

"It is an evil object from a Demon Sect Secret Technique."

Upon seeing the Black Line Worm, Tian Rulai's expression immediately turned serious, and he stated the origin of the Black Line Worm in one breath.
