Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

Lu Yunzhu snorted coldly, turning away with a detached tone: "Remember, those who shouldn't be touched are best left alone."

The guide's mouth twitched, quietly clenching his hands.

'Li Chengshi' approached: "She seems to know more than we anticipated, what to say?"

"With the world seed of the Western Realm and part of the Human Clan's Source Blood in hand, what can she do knowing more? At most, let her go..."

The guide's eyelids lowered slightly: "With her restraining the Lower Realm here, it's unlikely to cause much trouble."

"Oh, I have another method on my side."

"Speak."

"That Human Clan powerhouse named Zheng Dongliu is not originally from the Lower Realm. After successfully countering, he's a good move."

"Go ahead."

"Alright."

······

Between heaven and earth.

Several void spaces simultaneously shattered, as if some major explosion had occurred within.

When all the phenomena returned to calm, Lu Jin'an stepped forth from the void, with myriad splendid scenes faintly appearing around him within his Dao Domain.

Within his Dao Domain, he evolved a small world where the Changqing Immortal Clan resides, then collided it with his own Dao Domain's small worlds. Upon annihilation, he merged these small worlds fully into his Dao Domain.

Hence, reaching the Late Stage Hidden Life for him was as easy as picking something from a pouch.

However, the path he walked, 'Worldly Splendor,' had not yet reached its end; the remaining path wasn't achievable in a single thought and required an outside force.

And he had a way to temporarily reach that required force.

"Temporarily enough..."

With a murmur, Lu Jin'an took out the Communication Compass, glanced at it, then stepped toward the Chang'an Domain.

Chang'an Domain, Wandao Sect.

"Master, here is today's elixir; disciple... has offended again."

Ji Wenchang said, grabbing Zheng Dongliu's shoulder and forcefully stuffing the elixir into his mouth.

Since returning from the Demon World, due to Zheng Dongliu's forced intake of Qi, his backlash worsened, and now Zheng Dongliu must regularly ingest elixirs to sustain his life.

But Zheng Dongliu himself didn't wish to use such precious elixirs on himself, so during this period, Ji Wenchang had been coercing Zheng Dongliu into taking them.

After feeding Zheng Dongliu the elixir, Ji Wenchang knelt at one side: "Master, disciple has been disrespectful. Please forgive disciple."

Originally fishing by the lakeside, Zheng Dongliu glared annoyingly at this troublesome disciple, finally sighing helplessly: "Nuisance, you scared away the old man's fish."

Ji Wenchang looked up and smiled: "Master, you're not yet at the time to leave; at least see the moment the Sect Master ascends to the Cloud Peak Master throne."

Zheng Dongliu waved his hand: "That child is already invincible; whether I see it or not isn't important anymore."

"Isn't this your lifelong wish?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dongliu fell silent. Ji Wenchang's smile broadened, about to continue speaking when Zheng Dongliu suddenly stood up, eyes showing seriousness.

"Master?" Ji Wenchang's face changed slightly, quickly stood up, and moved closer: "You..."

"The elixir?" Zheng Dongliu turned to Ji Wenchang: "Give them all to me."

Upon hearing, Ji Wenchang initially rejoiced, instinctively wanting to take out all the refined elixirs, but seeing Zheng Dongliu's expression, he hesitated.

Master willing to take medicine is good, but that expression...

"Master, you..."

"Give them to me." Zheng Dongliu's expression softened slightly: "Wenchang, I must resolve the causal chains entangling me."

Ji Wenchang opened his mouth: "With the Sect Master present, you..."

Zheng Dongliu shook his right hand: "Wenchang, this is Master's path, will you stop it too?"

Ji Wenchang looked into Zheng Dongliu's cloudy eyes filled with spirit, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, offering the small porcelain bottle containing five elixir pills.

Zheng Dongliu reached out to take it, swallowing them while walking towards Taiyi Hall: "Wenchang, tell Jin'an... Forget it, I'll tell him in person."

Bam.

Taiyi Hall's doors closed tightly.

Zheng Dongliu turned around, looking at the middle-aged man stepping out of the void, wearing a blood-stained gold robe, and smiled slightly: "You fulfilled your word, Fu Daozhong."

As he spoke, his vision blurred for a moment.

The person before him was exactly like in his youth.

Fu Daozhong looked at the weary Zheng Dongliu and slowly exhaled a breath: "I said, next time I come, it's time to reclaim everything...

And everything you have, was given by me."

Zheng Dongliu gave an indifferent chuckle: "Even if I'm a split soul of yours, I am not you."

"You will ultimately be." Fu Daozhong's hands flashed with golden spiritual energy: "Although your will surprised me, your growth also delighted me. Though you're aged now, your lifelong learnings suffice for me to move another step forward."

"Another step forward... What is it?" Zheng Dongliu asked with some curiosity.

Fu Daozhong looked up to the sky: "Once I cross that Heavenly Gate, you'll naturally know... Though there's some distance, at least, it's achievable."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dongliu showed disappointment: "I thought you could become the strongest in Outer Heaven, but just mediocre."

Fu Daozhong's mouth twitched: "You don't understand."

"Alright, treat it as if I don't understand." Zheng Dongliu looked at the blood on his body: "So, how did you return?"

"Yunding will become a true fortress."

Fu Daozhong spoke, extending his hands: "And I will ultimately lead the Hundred Clans."

As his words fell, his surrounding Great Dao swept forth, and instantly, a gigantic dragon surged out, illuminating the entire Taiyi Peak.

Zheng Dongliu felt this immensely powerful spectacle and spoke softly: "To lead the Hundred Clans, you... are still unqualified!"

Zheng Dongliu spoke, his eyes shining like torches in the dark, bursting forth with an imposing aura reaching the sky.

Rip—

With a sound akin to cloth being ripped, Zheng Dongliu's Great Dao Domain, governed by the Da Yan Creation Technique, swept across, rejuvenating his aged face, emaciated body, and grey hair to a pinnacle beyond pinnacle.

Transcendence!

Fu Daozhong's expression changed: "How could this body breakthrough again?!"

He knew Zheng Dongliu had the qualification for Transcendence, but after so many years, Zheng Dongliu had aged in their eyes to a point where he could no longer take that step!

Zheng Dongliu didn't reply, just casually clenched his hand, gathering the endless sharpness and destiny accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Wandao Sect.

The heavens crumbled, earth shattered, and divine light scattered.

Zheng Dongliu spread his hands wide, his robe fluttering as the sharpness and destiny in his hands transformed instantly into a sharp spear.

In this moment, he stepped into the void, thrusting out the spear.

Stars surrounded, heaven and earth split!

Fu Daozhong's expression drastically changed: "Zheng Dongliu, are you gambling with your life!?"

"You're babbling nonsense."

Zheng Dongliu's gaze was like pillars, seemingly able to burn the world, burning a great hole in the Sky Dome: "Not controlled by you... is the old man's last gift!"

The Great Dao trembled, intense golden light soared like a great sun.

Clangorous sounds, resounding through the heavens.

Rumble—

Mountains crumbled, earth shattered, the entire Taiyi Peak collapsed with a thunderous sound.

Only a broken Taiyi Hall remained hovering in the void.

On the courtyard wall, a spear of destiny pierced through Fu Daozhong's chest, pinning him to the wall, lifeless.

Also pinned, was a Dragon Soul.

Zheng Dongliu took steps forward until he powerlessly sat on the steps before Taiyi Hall, hair and beard white, panting heavily.

In just a moment, silhouettes appeared here, unanimously looking at Fu Daozhong, then turning their gaze to Zheng Dongliu.

Transcendence...

Zheng Dongliu raised his eyes, until seeing Lu Jin'an, then grinned, his tone excited like a child: "Young one, the old man is now the world's number one again."

Lu Jin'an arrived instantly before Zheng Dongliu, raising his hand as the brilliance from his Dao Domain poured down like a waterfall.

Feeling the Time Path contained within the divine aura, the smile on Zheng Dongliu's face gradually faded: "Oh, I see, not anymore."

Lu Jin'an smiled slightly: "Even now, elder must witness the conclusion, else it's the Wandao Sect disciples who are unfilial."

"Conclusion... fine!"

Lu Jin'an turned, looking at the Human Race Immortal Monarch and the All Saints of the Hundred Clans who had gathered, his voice like thunder.

"Asking Sword Hidden Life Mountain!"

Within the Dao Domain, All Saints lowered their heads, daring not to disobey.
