Chapter 184: Decayed Immortal

The Sect Master didn't expect that the Decayed Immortal would really appear.

He had indeed sensed that the Decayed Immortal was recovering before, but he didn't expect the Immortal to appear in the world so quickly. This was completely an unexpected joy.

The Sect Master introduced himself excitedly: "Congratulations to the Immortal for waking up from the long river of history. My name is Xie Bingzhi, and I am the Sect Master of the Decayed Sect. The current era is 300,000 years away from the era you know. Oh, you might not know the Decayed Sect. Our Decayed Sect is one of the four great demonic sects, aiming to wake you up from your slumber..."

The Decayed Immortal listened quietly to the Sect Master's endless introduction, and only after seeing that the Sect Master had stopped talking did he laugh twice and say slowly: "Child, don't be excited, I already know everything you just said."

The Sect Master calmed down, realizing that he had just overstepped and lost his composure: "The Immortal knows everything."

The Decayed Immortal shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. Who dares to claim to know everything? Like Ying Tian, Qilin, and the others, they can't say they know everything, let alone that I have been away from the world for 300,000 years. The seas have changed into mulberry fields, the stars have shifted, and things have changed. Who could have predicted today's events back then?"

A golden liquid droplet appeared out of thin air in the Decayed Immortal's hand, and he flicked it casually, landing in the Sect Master's hand.

The Sect Master could feel what kind of terrifying vitality it contained.

"You were injured by a strong enemy. Without a hundred years of time, it is difficult to heal. This drop of Decayed Liquid can help you speed up the recovery of your injuries."

"Is, is this the legendary 'Decayed' Dao fruit?" The Sect Master's hands trembled. This was his first time feeling the Immortal's great power.

The Decayed Immortal smiled kindly: "The Immortal Dao fruit is not easily born. This is just a drop of dew on the 'Decayed' Dao fruit."

The Sect Master swallowed it immediately. As soon as the golden liquid entered his mouth, it turned into a strange energy, filling his limbs and bones, and every detail of his body.

The Sect Master could clearly feel that the recovery speed of his injuries was getting faster.

He had heard that the Immortal Dao fruit is the foundation of every Immortal and is never easily shown to others. The Decayed Immortal is worthy of being the Immortal who saved the human race, selfless, allowing him to have the good fortune to see a trace of the Immortal Dao fruit's power.

"I know why you woke me up. The struggle of geniuses, becoming an Immortal is an eternal topic..."

The Decayed Immortal put his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly closed, somewhat turbid, as if he were recalling ancient past events, finally turning into a long sigh, shaking his head, and not making too many comments on the past.

He muttered: "Does the human race need me to save them... again?"

The Sect Master hurriedly said: "Immortal, the ancient great era has arrived again. There are recovering cultivators everywhere. At that time, if a war breaks out, only if you make a move can you save the human race!"

"Well, perhaps saving the human race is my mission, so what if I save it again?"

The Sect Master just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the Decayed Immortal: "It's just that I only have a soul body now, and the Dao fruit is not yet perfect. I can only temporarily reside in the statue and cannot protect you like in the late ancient period. If you want to return to the peak state, you need a body to entrust."

"Can I?" The Sect Master volunteered.

The Decayed Immortal shook his head: "Your body has already taken shape, and you have taken many wrong paths during cultivation, making it difficult to return. The chance of condensing the Dao fruit is very slim."

"I heard that Yun Zhi of the Dao Seeking Sect is known as the strongest of the five great Immortal sects. Can her body be used?" The Sect Master suggested again.

The Decayed Immortal shook his head: "Heh, the strongest of the five great Immortal sects? As far as I know, the five great Immortal sects are just five sects with some foundation in the Central Continent. Not to mention the four lands of east, west, south, and north, the overall strength of the five great Immortal sects is probably not as good as the Great Xia Dynasty that rules the Central Continent."

"Under these circumstances, how strong can the strongest of the five great Immortal sects be, and can it let me become an Immortal again?"

The Sect Master hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"There is still some time before the struggle of the great era truly breaks out, enough for me to re-cultivate to the peak. I need a body that has just started cultivation. With his body as a entrustment, I can return to the Immortal realm. If I am lucky, maybe I can suppress Ying Tian, Qilin, and others, and become the head of the five ancient Immortals."

"By then, even if I make a move to protect the human race, the risk of falling will be greatly reduced."

"The Immortal is wise."

"Go and gather all the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation stage believers. I will personally select to see who is qualified to be possessed by me."

"Yes."

"Immortal, I want to ask you a question."

"Child, ask."

"Who was it that refined the stars in the sky into a continent in the first place?"

In legend, the Decayed Immortal witnessed this major event that ended the ancient era with his own eyes.

The Decayed Immortal closed his eyes and shook his head: "Your cultivation is too low. This is not something you should know."

The Sect Master was somewhat frustrated, but also admitted that compared to the Immortal, he was really too far behind.

Before leaving, the Sect Master hesitated and asked: "Your name seems... not an ordinary name?"

The Sect Master actually wanted to say that I really couldn't think of what name to make up, so I randomly made up a "Bu Yao Lian". Why would the Immortal have such a strange name?

The Decayed Immortal had a dark face and didn't speak.

The Sect Master realized that he had asked the wrong question and left.

The Sect Master left the secret room and hurriedly gathered the three Vice Sect Masters and the elders, but only Vice Sect Master Jin was present. After inquiring, he learned that Vice Sect Masters Liu and Gao had taken the Immortal Treasure to the Dao Seeking Sect to throw away their lives.

"They don't even want their lives for the sake of fighting for power?!" The Sect Master gritted his teeth. He could guess the thoughts of those two idiots; it was nothing more than wanting to make a name for themselves in the Dao Seeking Sect so they could fight for the position of Sect Master.

But where couldn't you go, why did you have to go to the Dao Seeking Sect?

You have the life to go in, do you have the life to come out?

"How long has it been since the Five Elements Sect finished visiting the Dao Seeking Sect?"

"Just half a day, there is no reply yet."

The Sect Master took a deep breath: "No need to wait for news, they must have been captured by the Dao Seeking Sect. Maybe the Dao Seeking Sect already knows the location of our headquarters!"

"There is only one plan for now."

"Surrender?"

The Sect Master was furious: "Surrender my ass! Have you ever seen a demonic sect surrender to the righteous path!"

"Then are we creating history?"

The Sect Master resisted the urge to strangle this elder and said: "Hurry up and transfer the position, go to the No. 5 backup stronghold!"

"Oh."

In order to prevent high-level members from being captured and revealing the location of the headquarters and backup strongholds, the Sect Master let each Vice Sect Master know only the location of one stronghold.

For example, Vice Sect Master Liu knew the No. 3 backup stronghold, and Vice Sect Master Gao knew the No. 4 backup stronghold.

In just two months, they had to transfer from the second stronghold to the third, all because of the Dao Seeking Sect.

The Decayed Sect acted nimbly and soon packed up their things and headed to the No. 5 backup stronghold.

The Sect Master poked his head into the secret room: "Immortal, should I carry you, or will you walk yourself?"

The Decayed Immortal: "..."

What is this feeling of being in danger at every turn?
