Chapter 796 - 311: The Mortal World’s Unfettered Immortal

Passing through a special airspace shrouded in mist and intertwined with light and shadow, Celestial Venerable Baiyu completely lost strength and stumbled to the ground.

The gatekeeping disciples were taken aback and hurriedly sent him to Zizai Heaven.

Celestial Venerable Shangli heard the news and quickly rushed over, seeing Celestial Venerable Baiyu’s Dao intent shattered and disordered, even his spirit was affected, languishing and feeble. He was greatly shocked, unable to imagine what had happened for Celestial Venerable Baiyu to end up like this.

He hurriedly operated the Invisible and Formless Dao intent to transform the injured Celestial Venerable Baiyu into a false body, preserving his true self.

Baiyu Celestial Venerable quickly recovered, and the seriously wounded intent of Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate also stabilized.

After a little while, he fully recovered, without a trace of injury left.

"Baiyu, what happened?"

Celestial Venerable Baiyu smiled bitterly,

"There’s always a higher mountain, a more powerful person."

"Over at He Yue Village, there shouldn’t be anyone who can injure you like this." Celestial Venerable Shangli said with suspicion.

Celestial Venerable Baiyu shook his head and said,

"It’s Fan Wubing."

"Him again!"

Celestial Venerable Baiyu pressed his glabella, laboriously recounting the story.

Celestial Venerable Shangli paused,

"He just glanced at your Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate intent and you suffered a severe injury?"

"I don’t even know what kind of attack I suffered from." Celestial Venerable Baiyu’s expression was complex, "We really know nothing about him. Previously, even Carefree Ancestor couldn’t stop him from killing Yu Chen, let alone me."

He knew very well that without Celestial Venerable Shangli’s Invisible and Formless Intent, his Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate Intent, which took thousands of years to cultivate, might have completely collapsed.

"What about the situation over at Supreme Palace?"

Celestial Venerable Shangli sighed and shook his head,

"It’s already been concluded that Celestial Venerable Mihua is a Demon Cultivator. There’s no recovering for Supreme Palace. However, they have found the instigator."

"Who?"

"Jiang Sha, the Greedy Demon Lord."

"So it wasn’t Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable." Celestial Venerable Baiyu paused.

They had previously suspected that Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable was secretly aiding this matter. After all, Ye Wuyue was a disciple of the Heaven-Questioning Sect.

Celestial Venerable Shangli said, "On second thought, it makes sense. Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable, although never walking the righteous path, would never collude with demon cultivators. Her way of dealing with the world is unique, built upon her immense strength. Or rather, she has never considered us as enemies."

Celestial Venerable Baiyu said solemnly,

"Has the Daoist School reached such a state?"

Whether it’s the Great Prosperity Festival or the Demon Extermination Bureau, what they aim to shake are the fundamental systems of terminal Daoists within the Daoist School.

If this system is dismantled, then the White Jade Capital is nothing more than a large cultivation force.

Celestial Venerable Shangli said,

"I accidentally severely injured Guan Xin. Over at Wenxin Heaven, there’s probably no room for maneuver either."

"No matter what, Wenxin Heaven will never become an enemy, at most they won’t be on the same page as us." Celestial Venerable Baiyu said, "Wenxin Heaven’s influence on the world is based on cultural traditions of etiquette, it’s the epitome of secular perceptions. As long as it doesn’t involve this part, they won’t waver. People like Jiang Sha and Fan Wubing... are direct enemies."

Celestial Venerable Shangli said, "To deal with them, we need power equivalent to theirs."

Celestial Venerable Baiyu nodded, "Yes. The real problem is the pressure from the farming side. They directly undermine the interests of terminal Daoists and their forces. We must compensate for the losses this decision by the farming side causes to terminal Daoists and give the farmers a strong counterattack."

"The lifeblood of the farming side lies in the Immortal Farmer Skill. And the execution of the Immortal Farmer Skill relies on the natural spirit’s rhythm. Their unique trait is the cultivation, collection, and transformation of spirit rhythm. We just need to cut off their feeling of the natural spirit’s rhythm." Celestial Venerable Shangli said.

Celestial Venerable Baiyu thought for a moment,

"The natural spirit’s rhythm is a unique Dao intent generated by the operation of myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth. This perhaps cannot be cut off."

"Don’t forget, the flow of natural spirit’s rhythm still relies on Qi and the Great Dao. Especially the Immortal Spirit Qi and the Evolutionary Dao."

"That Qinkong Da Feng Immortal Body governs the Evolutionary Dao, so we can only focus on the Immortal Spirit Qi." Celestial Venerable Baiyu said, concentrating his gaze, "Central Spirit Mountain!"

Celestial Venerable Shangli nodded, "Yes! The Immortal Spirit Qi of the world all comes from Central Spirit Mountain. Severing the main underground vein between Central Spirit Mountain and East Continent is enough! The scattered Spiritual Qi in the air is far from enough to support such a large He Yue Village."

"This is of grave importance and cannot be undertaken rashly, let’s consult the Ancestor." Celestial Venerable Baiyu said.

Both were well aware that severing the main underground vein between Central Spirit Mountain and other continental borders was an immensely significant action.

In the past ten thousand years, even when the Southern Celestial Land was once occupied by demon cultivators and the righteous forces had to survive in a crevice, such an act was never done.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly arose in the air.

Crisp and forceful.

Both heard it and immediately tensed up, preparing for the worst.

Moments later, a Daoist nun wearing a gold and blue Daoist robe stepped in the air. She was tall, over eight feet, yet her proportions were perfectly balanced, flawless; every inch of her flesh seemed to absolutely conform to every type of Dao intent.

Her hair and beard were all silver, her long hair gathered at the back with a redwood hairpin slanted among them, free-flowing yet orderly.

In appearance, it’s difficult to describe her beauty in typical terms. Her brows and eyes, ears and nose, lips and teeth... all ordinary, yet every part emanated an innate sense of harmony. As if she was born to practice Dao.

Her beauty was "most in line with the Dao intent" rather than a visage that captivates or entices one’s spirit.
