Chapter 509: Ancient Immortal Road

Chapter 509: Ancient Immortal Road

Fairy Yu looked at the sorry figure Ning Tieniu cut as he left and softly said, "Lord, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain? The Immortal Dynasty Holy Land's Ning Family is not easy to deal with."

"This child's nature is not bad. I can see that." Fang Chen smiled. "Even if we let the tiger return to the mountain, if he comes to trouble us again, it'll only take a single sword strike for him to be dealt with. It's not that big of a deal."

Fairy Yu suddenly felt joyful. "Now that you can slay even Immortal Seedlings, as long as Nascent Soul Realm cultivators don't take action, no one will be your match, right?"

Fang Chen shook his head lightly. "It's hard to say. Cultivators have unpredictable means. If it’s someone with more cunning techniques, I don’t know how it’ll turn out."

He was able to easily kill Immortal Seedlings because of the Shadow Buddha Technique and his fourth-rank Sword Body.

After Little Sword ascended to the fourth rank, its attacking power became even more terrifying. However, killing the three Immortal Seedlings had not been as simple as it seemed. All three of them had spiritual barriers protecting them, and they were far stronger than ordinary grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivators.

If Little Sword hadn't ascended to the fourth rank, it would have been troublesome to deal with them.

However... What Fairy Yu said was correct. This time, with Little Sword ascending to the fourth rank, it unlocked a new inheritance. This inheritance was not a technique or cultivation method but the patched bloodstain on the sword body.

That was the blood of immortals. Even though these immortals have long since passed away, the bloodstains still contain mighty, terrifying power.

As long as he paid a certain price, Fang Chen could temporarily use this power. If he used it, he might very well be able to kill Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with a single strike. However, the price to be paid was quite expensive.... Unless absolutely necessary, Fang Chen did not want to resort to this trump card at all.

Fairy Yu smiled. "Lord, you may not know how much weight the two words 'Immortal Seedlings' hold in the Central Continent Empire."

Fang Chen's eyes lit up. "Are there many Immortal Candidates in the Central Continent Empire?"

"There are very few." Fairy Yu shook her head lightly. "You see, the Void Immortal Sword Sect is known to have a hundred thousand sword cultivators. However, in this generation, the sect does not even have one Immortal Seedling. Perhaps when Senior Sister Jing ascends to the grand completion stage of Golden Core Realm, she can join the ranks of Immortal Seedlings through the Immortal Seedling assessment."

"The Void Immortal Sword Sect doesn't have any Immortal Seedlings?" Fang Chen was surprised. "What's this assessment about?"

Fairy Yu thought for a moment. Then, she began, "I'm not too sure about the specifics. Senior Sister mentioned it before. In a certain boundary of the Central Continent Empire, there seems to be an ancient Immortal Road. It is rumored that in ancient times, those who could traverse this Immortal Road could be accepted to the Immortal Realm without ascension.

"However, at some point, it seems that the gates to the Immortal Realm closed. Whether it's ascension or passing through this Immortal Road, no one can enter the Immortal Realm. Since then, even those who successfully complete the ancient Immortal Road cannot reach the Immortal Realm. However, these people are from that point called Immortal Seedlings, and they are akin to treasures to the major sects."

After a moment, Fairy Yu added, "Think about it, my lord. Even in the past, the Immortal Realm was willing to accept them prematurely, this goes to show how high their potential is."

Fang Chen was somewhat surprised. An Ancient Immortal Road?

Fairy Yu looked around curiously. "Lord, where is this?"

The Central Continent Empire was vast. Even though she had been in the Void Immortal Sword Sect for many years, it's actually rare to say which places she had visited.

“I'm not sure either. Xia Ji's route only goes up to here.” Fang Chen shook his head with a smile. “Let's go find someone to ask for directions and see which direction leads to the Greenwood Sect.”

One month later, the two finally saw a residence in the wilderness, bustling with activity at the entrance, as if hosting a banquet.

Fairy Yu observed the residence closely. Shortly later, she said with a hint of envy, “Lord, looks like someone is getting married.”

The residence was festooned with lanterns and decorations, clearly indicating a joyous occasion.

Fang Chen said with a smile. “That's perfect. Let's go over, give a gift, and ask for directions.”

He led Fairy Yu to the front of the residence, where a middle-aged man was standing and holding a book and a pen.

When the middle-aged man saw them, he was surprised a little. They were unfamiliar faces. “Who are you two?”

“We are passing cultivators. We noticed that your residence seems to be having a celebration, so we brought a gift. We also wanted to take the chance to ask for directions."

Fang Chen took out a hundred low-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

Passing cultivator?

Glancing at the hundred low-grade spirit stones, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a sliver of disdain. Nevertheless, he took the spirit stones, put them away, and calmly said, "Where are you two heading? I know this area quite well and should be able to help you."

Fang Chen asked, "Do you happen to know the direction of the Greenwood Sect?"

The middle-aged man with struck with surprise. The Greenwood Sect?!

Confused, he replied, "What sect is that? I've never heard of it."

"Lord, it seems we are quite a distance away from the Greenwood Sect," Fairy Yu said through voice transmission.

Fang Chen sighed inwardly, realizing that there had to be a considerable distance separating the two places, so much so that the cultivator in front of him did not even recognize the name of the Greenwood Sect.

Just then, a wedding procession came from the sky, and among the grand red carriages, there was an aura that felt oddly familiar to Fang Chen.
