Chapter 73

"Family head, something terrible has happened, young master... young master is gone!"

"What?"

"That ruin doesn't know what's going on, it only lets people in and not out; young master offended an immortal sect disciple when he went, was besieged, and wanted to come out to avoid the limelight, but turned into black ash before my eyes when he was leaving the mountain!"

In the Shen family of Yongzhou, the contemporary family head was admiring the surging immortal light outside the Qiling mountain range, and upon hearing the bad news, his face turned pale instantly.

Didn't they say the price for obtaining immortal fate was turning into an evil seed? As long as one sheds the mortal body after ascending, it's fine; why would he be directly annihilated?

The Shen family head widened his eyes in disbelief, immediately thinking that the ancestor, younger brother, and daughter were still in the mountain, so he immediately ordered people to pass the order, not allowing anyone to come out of the mountain for the time being.

Just at this moment, a rumbling sound was triggered in the mountain again.

But what appeared at this moment was not the immortal light seen in the previous few days, but countless black flames swaying and rising to the sky, like dancing black snakes, instantly igniting the mountains.

Nishan, Huangyun Mountain, Lingjian Mountain, Dao-Seeking Mountain, Xuanyuan Mountain, Pill Mountain, Mist Mountain.

Above the seven immortal sect Dao grounds, countless burning gazes were gathering here.

Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the barbarian territory, a withered old man like a mountain slowly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the night and looking toward the Central Plains.

In the demon domain on the west side of the Northern Plains, a majestic figure also appeared above the clouds, and the terrifying aura constantly surged under the night.

At this moment, Qiling could be called the focus of the world.

But the cultivators in the immortal mountain of the ruins could no longer perceive the outside communication at this moment, because they were immersed in endless mystery.

The Shen family ancestor was already 130 years old and had stayed in the Boundless realm for many years.

Relying on his powerful cultivation, he was the first to climb the immortal mountain and had been sitting here for three days, drinking immortal dew and refining heavenly light every day.

He seemed to have entered a mysterious state of great freedom, entering the vast and boundless void like an ascension, constantly floating with the immortal energy.

Subsequently, he saw a majestic figure.

That was an old man.

The aged face was like gullies, and white hair fluttered.

His hands were folded and hung down, like withered branches, but his whole body was full of exuberant immortal intent.

Underneath his bright yellow old robe, what was covered was a huge, wriggling flesh body, like a thick and fat tail generated by the accumulation of disorderly flesh and blood, entrenched on a high mountain suspended in the void.

The Shen family's eldest daughter was named Shen Yan; in her line of sight, the ancestor's body was gradually dissolving in the swaying black flames, finally leaving only a brilliant golden elixir.

And from the outside, at this moment, a blood-red aura rushed into the sky from the mountain, opening the clouds.

According to time, it was dawn, and the red sun should be rising.

But at this time, the red sun did not appear, but a viscous blackness spread in all directions with Qiling as the center.

Zuo Qiuyang, the Hall Master of the Carefree Hall at the peak of Nishan, walked out of the clouds and mist, looking at the aura echoing in the heavens, his expression solemn.

"Someone wants to ascend?"

"How could this be possible?"

Zuo Qiuyang, as one of the five Hall Masters of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, knew that to ascend to become an immortal in the Azure Cloud World, one needs the recognition of the orthodoxy and the guidance of a holy artifact.

So this opportunity for ascension could appear in any of the seven great immortal sects, but it would absolutely not appear in the Qiling mountain range.

Unless that place is not constrained by the Heavenly Dao and can allow people to ascend directly.

Just at this moment, another red light suddenly rose and boomed toward Huangyun Mountain.

The protective formation of the Chen family immortal clan rose rapidly, but collapsed under this strike.

It wasn't until a hunched old man appeared in the depths of Huangyun Mountain, looking over with burning eyes, that the red light dissipated.

This was a provocation, a demonstration.

Zuo Qiuyang looked at this sudden strike, his brows instantly furrowed.

There was a genuine Approaching Immortal Realm cultivator in the mountain, but the aura was still constantly climbing, infinitely approaching ascension.

Zuo Qiuyang had only felt this kind of aura once when his master was drunk.

He remained silent for a long time, finally flew away from the Carefree Hall, and came to a forest sea in the deepest part of Nishan.

Everyone thought that the residence of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan Abbot must be magnificent, comparable to a heavenly palace, but no one knew that he actually lived in a fence garden built in the forest sea.

And as Zuo Qiuyang came here, Hall Master Chai Hu of the Longevity Hall and Hall Master Lu Fengchuan of the No-Desire Hall had also arrived in front of the fence garden.

There was also Hall Master Fei She of the Buchan Hall; he had encountered a bottleneck when impacting the Approaching Immortal Realm, and had not closed for cultivation again after coming out of seclusion this time.

Seeing Zuo Qiuyang floating over, Chai Hu spoke first: "Senior brother, someone is ascending."

"I have already seen it; black flames ignited in the Qiling mountain, and the aura of ascension came from there."

"Perhaps... someone really obtained the opportunity for ascension?"

After the words fell, the four people in the field were all silent, looking at the sky, their expressions solemn.

Lu Fengchuan couldn't help but speak: "I have never seen such red immortal light, evil thoughts rushing to the sky, making my spiritual sense very uncomfortable."

Fei She opened his mouth after a long silence: "No need to discuss, let Master decide."

Lu Fengchuan and Chai Hu looked at each other: "Master is not in the bamboo house."

"Not here?"

"He likes to cover the heavenly secrets before doing things; Junior brother Lu and I searched for a long time and couldn't find him, and we were just guessing if he went down the mountain to drink again."

Only then did Zuo Qiuyang realize that there were only four of them in the field: "Is Junior sister You not here either?"

The Hall Masters of the Longevity Hall and No-Desire Hall nodded together.

And just at this moment, the three managers of the Management Tian Shuyuan rode the wind and landed on Nishan.

Qin Rong bowed and arched his hands: "Something happened in Qiling; the aura of the disciples who entered the mountain dissipated, the communication never responded, and the disciples of other immortal sects and aristocratic families are all the same..."

At the same time, in the vast sea of clouds, an old wooden boat was riding the wind.

The old man holding a wine pot was wearing loose white clothes, looking at the sky in the distance, his expression incomparably solemn.

Hall Master You Yingqiu of the Auspicious Hall stood behind him at this moment, and after following him for a long time, spoke: "Master, what exactly is in the mountain?"

"Something that is already dead."

"Why would something that is already dead make such a commotion?"

"After the ruins caused an evil disaster, I thought it was just the immortal Dao of the relic race accidentally overflowing, but I didn't expect that there were living people who wanted to use that dead thing to prove the Dao."

The old man muttered while stroking his long beard, and handed a jade box to her.

You Yingqiu held the jade box, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat stunned.

What was contained in this jade box was the holy artifact of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, which is the Little Little Tian Shu that legend says awakens the spirit for the human race.

But for some reason, the Little Little Tian Shu at this moment had no spirituality at all, and even a trace of aura fluctuation did not exist, as if... it had died.

But when she became the Hall Master of the Auspicious Hall, she had once paid respects to the main body of the Heavenly Book, and had also seen its profound and magnificent aura.

Just at this moment, the wooden boat suddenly broke into a piece of night, and then rapidly began to descend.

Below them was a county town, but it was still some distance from the Qiling mountain range where the fire was raging.

"Master, we are not going into the mountain?"

"It's useless to go now; we have to find Ji You first."
