Chapter 1016: Wuchen Ancestor

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Wuchen Ancestor

Like Empyrean Fairy Yang Jingmu and Senior Bai Sheng, those fallen Heavenly Immortals, even if the cultivation dojo is passed down, it cannot be called a Heavenly Immortal Ashram!

The Lord of Little Penglai, born in the Penglai Continent, has established a dojo that is a minor world, vast thousands of times more than lower realms like the Primordial Realm and Dragon Heart Realm, even not inferior to the Penglai Continent of the Immortal Realm, thus named "Penglai" and known as Little Penglai, also referred to as Penglai Realm!

Wang Hong, who snatched achievement in heaven and earth from the hands of Jade Spring Fairy and others, since he is a disciple of Little Penglai, must be a direct disciple of the Lord of Little Penglai, having received the heritage of the Heavenly Immortal’s teachings, being groomed as a future True Immortal. This person represents both Little Penglai Dojo and a Heavenly Immortal’s face!

He descended from beyond the heavens to Dongjie Continent, without greeting Jade Spring Fairy and the five others, directly offering the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Water," transforming into a torrential downpour covering the entire western part of Dongjie Continent. The rain lasted for a full three months, after which the corrupt demonic primal intent polluting the land and sky was completely eradicated.

Jade Spring Fairy and her companions, after much struggle and hardship, finally managed to kill off the minor Heavenly Demons like Chunyang Zi, relying on the Earth Yuan Array over several years to refine away demonic primal intent. By then, they would achieve Perfection in virtue.

In the end, the ease of earning achievement was directly snatched away by someone, how could they possibly give up easily?

When the five Earth Immortals confronted Wang Hong, he effortlessly presented the Heavenly Immortal mandate of his master, who is the Lord of Little Penglai, claiming he was sent by his master’s order to "purge demons and protect the path"!

True Immortal’s Five Realms: Ghost Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Divine Immortal, Heavenly Immortal—each variance in realm leads to a gap in cultivation level that cannot be expressed in words, even a Master no far from Divine Immortal Realm like Master Jinguang and Wu Meng, cannot hold a candle to a Heavenly Immortal.

If Jade Spring Fairy and the others, fueled by anger, were to strike down Wang Hong on the spot, they would utterly offend the Lord of Little Penglai.

If such a being were to truly descend, in a single gesture, they could suppress the five Earth Immortals with ease. Even if the Heavenly Immortal does not act immediately, once they achieve the status of Divine Immortals and go to guard the Heavenly Gateway, they would be constantly targeted. Little Penglai has no shortage of ways to scheme against them!

After weighing their options, though the five of Jade Spring were filled with resentment, they still let Wang Hong leave.

"Not coming when the demonic disaster first broke out, not coming when we battled Chunyang Zi, but coming to harvest the fruits when the work is complete. Truly shameless beyond compare!"

Jade Spring Fairy suddenly tilted her head back and poured a cup of Drunken Immortal Wine into her mouth. The crystalline liquid streamed down from the corner of her lips to her chin, and onto her neck, wetting her clothes, without using magic to evaporate the leftover wine. Her radiant attire clung wetly to her chest, creating an enchanting scene as her chest heaved intensely.

A powerful female immortal like her, after cultivating for thousands of years with a heart like calm water untouched by dust, revealing such a demeanor now shows that she is truly infuriated.

After hearing the sequence of events, Shen Mo felt a bit annoyed in his heart, too.

When setting up the Earth Yuan Array, he certainly contributed considerable effort, and now the demonic primal intent polluting the western part of Dongjie Continent got purified by Wang Hong’s Nine Heavens Thunder God Water, meaning the achievement in heaven and earth that should have been his was snatched away!

Precisely for this reason, Jade Spring Fairy had come in her real body to personally share this matter with him.

After all, she was the one who invited Shen Mo to move mountains and set up the formation to share the achievement, but the great virtue was stolen by Wang Hong, akin to Shen Mo laboring for nothing, which made her feel guilty.

"It’s Wang Hong and his master bullying others with power, not the fault of the Fairy!"

Shen Mo did not harbor any resentments against Jade Spring Fairy, understanding her good intention, besides, she and the other four Earth Immortals also lost a significant amount of achievement, making breakthrough to beat the Divine Immortal barrier something distant.

At this moment, the shadow of Death Jaw appeared in the void above their heads, and Guan Ling’s voice resonated around them.

"I happen to know the Heavenly Immortal who founded Little Penglai."

"This person’s surname is Wang, named Wuyue with the Dao name Dustless Child, usually called Wuchen Ancestor. His demeanor seems to be of Dao bone and Immortal wind, but in reality, he’s not a good person. When my master was besieged by remnants of the old era, this old thief stood by, not rendering aid, and even because of some minor grievance from tens of thousands of years ago, struck my master with a sword opportunistically!"

"Fellow Daoist Qingyun, having acquired the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe of the White Venerable, you can be considered half a direct heir of a Heavenly Immortal, just as a Formless Realm cultivator, if you find the opportunity, you can properly teach the Little Penglai disciples like Wang Hong a lesson."

"As long as that old thief still has a bit of shame, he should not interfere in your sparring magic duel, just be careful not to shatter Wang Hong’s soul."

Shen Mo quickly shook his head to refuse.

He merely owned Senior Bai Sheng’s immortal robe, how could he be considered a direct heir of a Heavenly Immortal?

Furthermore, this Wuchen Ancestor made his disciples eradicate the demonic primal intent and seize achievements at the last moment, such shameless actions made Shen Mo doubt this person’s thick-skinnedness. Moreover, this person, due to old grievances from tens of thousands of years ago, added insults when Empyrean Fairy faced calamity, plainly showing himself as petty-minded, thus Shen Mo prefers not to involve himself in this cause and effect entanglement.

Seeing Shen Mo’s refusal, Guan Ling visibly showed some disappointment, but said no more.

Later, at Jade Spring Fairy’s gracious invitation, Guan Ling revealed a simple grass hut that covered the small world, joining the two at a banquet.

...

After the guests had left and the wine had ended, Shen Mo again used escaping light to head southeast, intending to move the remaining two medium-grade immortal mountains over, in order to quickly lay out the formation’s prototype.

Apart from guarding against Lord Blue Venerable using immortal realm forces against him, it was also in preparation for the uncertain situation ahead... During Xuanyuan Clan’s bride-choosing ceremony, Xuanyuan Tongzhen dropped hints that the immortal realm would soon be tumultuous, so this old Divine Immortal upon returning to the Immortal Realm from guarding the Heavenly Gateway, used the bride-choosing opportunity to invite many True Immortals over, forming Xuanyuan Alliance to face the calamity that would follow!

Boom!

Rumble...

The earth veins surged, the disturbance akin to a dragon turning over, causing the entire Corpse Mountain Range to tremble and shake.

When Shen Mo moved the first immortal mountain, Master-level cultivators and powerful figures from the alien tribe nearby each immortal mountain were alerted, mistakenly thinking a True Immortal-level battle had erupted. Once they knew the truth, they sighed with relief, now used to the unusual sight.

Placing the eighth immortal mountain at Five Dragon Mountain’s Dui position, Shen Mo handed over the Mountain-moving Whip to the three waiting by his side, Shi Nianyao and the others.

"The remaining sixty-three lower grade immortal mountains will trouble the three fellow daoists!"

The three Formless Masters vigorously waved their hands, saying, "Sect Master Shen has devoted himself to ensuring the safety of us all at Five Dragon Mountain, sparing no effort. We three are but contributing minor strength, not worth mentioning as trouble."
