Chapter 753

"Little Dai's courage still needs training." The Decayed Fairy popped out. Although Dai Bufan's cultivation base was higher than Little Yangzi's, his courage was far inferior.

"So this is the Ying Tian Immortal?" Yun Zhi looked at the Great Venerable Ying Long with slight curiosity. It seemed that the Junior Brother's trip to the Xiangong had truly yielded significant gains, as even the Ying Tian Immortal, who had been missing for 300,000 years, had been found.

"Yes, the Fairy and I happened to run into Senior Ying Tian Immortal at the Xiangong."

The Great Venerable Ying Long landed, spraying water mist, his dragon eyes reflecting Yun Zhi's expressionless face.

"Junior, are you the 'Eldest Senior Sister' that Little Friend Lu Yang speaks of?"

"The Decayed One also speaks highly of you, and I hope to see you for myself."

"It is merely the undeserved praise of the Fairy Senior."

"Whether it is undeserved or not, I will know once I test it. Junior of later generations, do you dare to spar with me?"

Yun Zhi cupped her fists in an ancient salute: "Then I ask Senior Ying Tian Immortal for some guidance."

This was not part of the plan, so Lu Yang hurriedly stepped forward to stop them: "Senior Ying Tian Immortal, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

The Great Venerable Ying Long laughed heartily: "Little Friend Lu Yang, rest assured. I never use my status to bully others. Since you are worried about your Eldest Senior Sister, I shall let her have three moves."

"That's not what I meant..."

"Enough, the words of an Immortal cannot be changed. This matter is settled!"

"Senior Ying Tian Immortal is truly righteous." Yun Zhi meant it sincerely. In all her battles, she had never met anyone who dared to give her three moves; Ying Tian Immortal was the first.

Ying Tian Immortal was also fond of fighting. His Ying Long body coiled in the high heavens, resembling a legendary supreme Immortal King: "Junior of later generations, you may strike as you wish. Let me see what kind of skills you possess!"

The Decayed Fairy on the side suddenly remembered something very important and shouted a reminder: "Right, Ying Tian, back at the East Sea, it was this Yun girl who beat up the other me!"

"Ah? Isn't this fellow Daoist... wait..."

"Cloud Falling Palm."

A cluster of flawless white auspicious clouds appeared above the small world. The clouds condensed, taking the shape of a palm and descending. The palm was so large that one could not see its end at a glance, even more massive than the body of the Great Venerable Ying Long.

The cloud palm descended, shattering layers of space and slamming the Great Venerable Ying Long directly onto the ground.

Ying Tian Immortal felt as if this palm contained countless worlds; its weight was shockingly immense, and it was a completely soul-targeted attack. He couldn't dodge it at all!

Dai Bufan woke up in a daze, feeling his brain in a mess, having forgotten why he had woken up.

"Did I just see the legendary Ying Tian Immortal? And did Ying Tian Immortal say he was coming to the sect as a guest?"

Dai Bufan remembered. He had seen a golden immortal dragon, noble beyond words, the very Ying Tian Immortal who possessed numerous legends, known as the Immortal among Immortals and the Ancestor of Artifact Refining.

"Where is Ying Tian Immortal?"

He struggled to support his body and saw Yun Zhi slap the Great Venerable Ying Long onto the ground. Dust filled the air, and he could vaguely see the giant dragon rolling on the ground in pain.

"Forget it, I'd better sleep a while longer."

Dai Bufan felt he might not have woken up yet, so he fell back to the ground and went to sleep.

"Tai Yi Formless."

Another palm strike turned the Great Venerable Ying Long back into his Ying Tian Immortal state. Ying Tian Immortal felt his immortal gold limbs trembling uncontrollably, as if they were no longer under his command.

"Tai Chu Qualityless."

"Dou Tian Immortal Thunder! Immovable Immortal Thunder! Jin Que Immortal Thunder!" Ying Tian Immortal condensed supreme immortal thunder. The immortal thunder transformed into layers of barriers, protecting him in front. Multiple immortal thunders resonated and changed, condensing into a lightning immortal shield.

Then, with a boom, he was sent flying by Yun Zhi's palm, flying backward for who knows how far, and plunged headfirst into the world barrier of the small world.

Ying Tian Immortal supported himself against the world barrier with both hands and pulled his head out with a 'pop', feeling his head buzzing.

First, the Decayed One's self-detonation gave him a hard time, and then Yun Zhi sent him flying with three moves. Why had he been beaten twice in two days, and by his own people at that?

Back in the ancient times, whenever the Decayed One was around, he would always inexplicably fail to show off. Why was it still like this now?

Ying Tian Immortal walked over with a brisk pace, his demeanor free and easy: "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yun truly has methods. However, we Immortals seek freedom and ease; blindly showing off one's strength is actually inferior. Let us treat each other as friends through the Dao, and stop at the point of contact. I think there's no need to compete for superiority, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Ying Tian's words are reasonable."

Yun Zhi glanced at Dai Bufan, who was sleeping soundly on the ground: "Strange, I seem to have seen Junior Brother Dai wake up during the battle just now?"

Seeing that Dai Bufan wouldn't wake up for a while, she performed a hand seal. Dai Bufan automatically flew out of the Ancient Ring small world and back to the Mission Hall. Only then did they start discussing serious matters.

"Fairy Senior, Junior Brother, how did you find Fellow Daoist Ying Tian?"

"Fellow Daoist Yun, don't be anxious. Sit down and let's talk slowly."

Ying Tian Immortal moved his mind, and the ground deformed, growing four chairs connected to the ground.

The Ancient Ring small world was meticulously refined by him, and he could change the shape of the small world at will.

"Those who invaded the Xiangong yesterday, besides the two decoys of the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Slaying Divine Lords, there was another person who secretly entered the Xiangong..."

After listening, Yun Zhi pondered for a moment: "So that's how it is. The Zhong Tian Emperor tried to open the world, and his clone possesses the ability to devour. From this, it can be guessed that he himself possesses the Devouring Dao Fruit."

"Generally speaking, one cannot use this Dao Fruit without a profound understanding of it. The Replacement Dao Fruit and Imprint Dao Fruit we obtained have been left unused for this very reason."

"Judging from the actions of the Ghost Monarch, he was prepared to directly seize the Tribulation-Responding Dao Fruit. This means the Great Qian side has a way to use the Tribulation-Responding Dao Fruit."

"The most likely scenario is that the Devouring Dao Fruit can ignore the limitation of understanding and devour other Dao Fruits for its own use."

"It is likely because the Zhong Tian Emperor's soul cannot control multiple Dao Fruits simultaneously, so he needs to use the ancestor of the laurel tree to strengthen his immortal soul."

"That is what I think as well." Ying Tian Immortal and the Decayed Fairy nodded one after another.

Lu Yang thought about it and also pretended to understand, nodding along.

"As for the origin and usage of these three Immortal-Seeking Tokens, the Ghost Monarch is dead, but the Demon-Subduing and Demon-Slaying Divine Lords should know something."

"I will find an opportunity to go to the Xiangong and gather information. This shouldn't be difficult."

Having finally captured two important figures of the Great Qian Dynasty, both the Immortal Sect and the Imperial Court would take this matter very seriously. Perhaps the Xiangong would directly use soul-searching to violently obtain all the information.

"As for the fact that one of the Four Immortals has been possessed by the mastermind behind the scenes, that is indeed a problem."

"The mastermind is hiding in the dark. Now that one person has been possessed, it is equivalent to moving from the dark to the semi-light, which is also an opportunity."

"Junior Brother, you must be extra careful if you encounter the Qilin and Jiu Chong Immortals in the future."

"Understood. But Eldest Senior Sister, are you so sure I will encounter the Qilin and Jiu Chong Immortals?" Lu Yang remembered that Eldest Senior Sister had always told him to stay away from the disputes of Immortals. Why had she changed her approach now?

Responding to Lu Yang was Yun Zhi's complex gaze. Lu Yang tactfully did not ask any further.

It seemed that it really wasn't a matter of being able to stay away just because he wanted to.
