Chapter 488: The Bluer Than Blue Emerges TriumphantWe purchased
The plan described by Lu Heng sounds well-prepared and flawless, without any loopholes.
When Lu Heng finally imparted the essence of "Soul Seizure" to Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon, both men furrowed their brows slightly.
"This " Jiu Mie looked at Lu Heng with a peculiar expression and said, "Old wolf, your technique is truly peculiar"
"Too malicious, causing harm to heaven," Candle Dragon commented succinctly.
Regarding this, Lu Heng smiled and said, "That's why I am only sharing this technique with you, my two good friends. It must never be divulged to others."
Candle Dragon shook his head and said, "Although this technique is indeed malicious, it is rather complementary when used on these foreign people. The concept of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, holds true in this context."
Jiu Mie continued, "We understand how to deal with the battle between righteousness and evil, but upon your return, old wolf, were you aware of what transpired at Hanyu Mountain?"
Jiu Mie reminded, "That peach tree you cultivated years ago has actually transformed into the All Souls Ancestral Root, and it has now yielded thirty-six divine fruits. If consumed, they will bestow immeasurable benefits. Before heading to the Arctic Skyark Palace, you should collect these divine fruits and keep them safe."
Jiu Mie's well-intentioned reminder made Lu Heng nod in agreement. "I have also taken possession of those thirty-six divine fruits; currently, I carry them with me. However, as for how to handle these fruits, I have not yet devised a plan. I wonder if my two good friends have any suggestions?"
Candle Dragon chuckled and said, "If Friend Lu Heng is undecided on how to handle them, why not let me consume them all? I am genuinely curious about this legendary All Souls Ancestral Root and willingly offer myself as a test subject."
Jiu Mie shook his head and said, "It would be better to give these thirty-six divine fruits to Lian Cangqing. In her prime, she was no weaker than that ancient demon and remains the most formidable cultivator in the Celestial Desolation Realm, closest to the realm of the Emperor, after the downfall of the Heavenly Court."
"Now, as she returns through a corporeal vessel, she is constrained by the injuries inflicted upon her physical form and soul, making it difficult to regain her former peak state. If we were to give her these thirty-six divine fruits, it would rid her of all traces of deathly aura, allowing her to once again exhibit the magnificent prowess of the Immortal of Martial Arts. In doing so, the Celestial Desolation Realm would gain another peerless master, capable of awe-inspiring dominance across realms."
Jiu Mie put forward a highly constructive suggestion.
However, when Candle Dragon heard this, a peculiar expression appeared on his face. "This give them to Lian Cangqing? So she can regain her former glory? Friend Jiu Mie, are you suggesting a quicker death for Friend Lu Heng? Let us not forget that Lian Cangqing once openly declared her intent to kill Friend Lu Heng. If Friend Lu Heng were to bestow the divine fruits upon her, wouldn't that be inviting his own demise?"
Regarding this, Jiu Mie chuckled and said, "Wasn't it you who said so? The Immortal of Martial Arts, Lian Cangqing, is the kindest and most gentle being in the world. If she were to regain her former state, how could she possibly cause any trouble for Friend Lu Heng? In fact, she might not only avoid causing trouble but also be willing to sacrifice herself for him."
Lu Heng's hairs stood on end as he listened to Jiu Mie's words, and he quickly exclaimed, "This is absolutely impossible! The divine fruits cannot be given to Lian Cangqing!"
As Lu Heng and his companions ventured further north, the sight of ruined walls and desolate towns grew increasingly prevalent.
The monarch of the Youxiong Country intended to relocate all the citizens within a thousand miles south of the country's border, transforming all the towns into deserted ruins, thus denying any opportunity for the malevolent forces to invade the countryside.
Upon reaching the final moments, they could even catch a glimpse of the desolate and eerie sight of ten ghostly empty villages in the wilderness, with not a single living soul to be found within a thousand miles.
However, as the mortals departed, the aura belonging to the cultivators in the air became increasingly potent.
The heavenly glow, whether soaring towards the north or descending from it, weaves incessantly in the celestial realm. Righteous cultivators from the Three Sacred Mountains, the Five Sacred Peaks, and all nations across the Four Seas, have all answered the call of the Heavenly Court, gathering in the northern domain to unite against evil forces and jointly eradicate them.
Like a grand and magnificent spectacle, even when witnessed with their own eyes, Lu Heng and his two companions couldn't help but be deeply moved.
Although the righteous cultivators from the Three Sacred Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks mostly possessed ordinary cultivation levels, they have multiplied in numbers within the wilderness and various sects' gates, thanks to the support and assistance of the Heavenly Court over the past two millennia. The cultivation world's prosperity, compared to the time when Lu Heng departed, has increased manifold.
Now, under the command of the supreme god, cultivators from the Three Sacred Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks have all assembled. Such a magnificent scene evoked a sense of awe in Candle Dragon, who remarked, "Miss Xiao Ai is truly extraordinary With so many cultivators, it can almost be said that she single-handedly supported and nurtured them. Although their cultivation levels may not be high for the most part, imagine the prosperity that awaits the cultivation world in a few thousand more years, as these mountain and wilderness sects continue to flourish"
Although the three of them are aware that the Heavenly Court, since its establishment, has continuously supported cultivators in establishing sects and forming mountain gates. However, the vastness of the Celestial Desolation Realm, with numerous cultivators scattered throughout the heavens and earth, makes it difficult to have a tangible experience, despite knowing about many sects and schools.
However, nowadays, the Heavenly Court has issued a decree that directly summons all cultivators from the celestial realm and earthly domain.
The dense and sprawling appearance of cultivators continuously emerging within the heavens and earth finally startled these three reclusive old monsters.
Even the experienced and well-traveled Candle Dragon, who has "died" numerous times, couldn't help but marvel and be astonished upon witnessing the spectacle of such a vast number of cultivators arriving as commanded.
After exchanging sighs for a long moment, they finally turned their gaze towards Lu Heng and said, "Friend Lu Heng, your Xiao Ai truly inherits and surpasses the excellence of you."
"Much stronger than you, hahaha"
Lu Heng's face turned dark with a wry smile upon hearing the boisterous laughter of his two mischievous comrades.
"These two scoundrels really don't miss any opportunity to tease me," Lu Heng thought with a hint of annoyance.
