Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1286 - 767: When the Sky Falls, There’s a Tall One to Hold It Up
Chapter 1286: Chapter 767: When the Sky Falls, There’s a Tall One to Hold It Up
Since the Bodhi Sect caused trouble, the North Continent has been suppressed for a long time.
In the other continents, numerous Third Grade Cultivators who had the qualifications to open their meridians and call themselves ancestors, have fallen one after another. This was unimaginable in the past.
The monks could not be found for a long time, yet the deaths continued, and they were dying at the hands of the Great Demons released by their own people.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere in the North Continent became increasingly tense. Everyone lived in fear and harbored suspicion towards each other.
Finally, a new rumor completely ignited everyone’s emotions!
Sister You Yao from Qingguang Cave, was planning to take action against Kaiyuan Prefecture.
It is known that the North Continent is now in a situation of three-legged balance. Aside from those smaller Taoist places, only three people have the qualification to occupy the lands of four prefectures. Together, they account for nearly half of the North Continent.
These three are Sister You Yao from Qingguang Cave under the Upper Pure Sect Leader, Senior Brother Li Shan from Xuanwei Cave under the Taiching Sect Master, and Revered One Qi Xian under Emperor Dongji.
A delicate balance had long been formed among the three.
However, after many fellow disciples left the North Continent, Sister You Yao was the first to take action, intending to become the first cultivator to occupy five prefectures.
Therefore, everyone started to pay attention to Kaiyuan Prefecture, wanting to know which unfortunate fellow disciple was involved.
This investigation revealed a shocking truth: when the title of Taixu Pill Emperor was mentioned, everyone was momentarily stunned, then remembered the past news of a Southern Continent cultivator fleeing and arriving here.
This news was undoubtedly even more shocking than the previous one.
A cultivator from the Southern Continent had silently occupied an entire prefecture as a Taoist venue. Even more surprising was that this person had no master and was not even considered a fellow of the Three Immortals Sect!
No wonder Sister You Yao was tempted, for anyone else would have felt the same.
They were not concerned about who would ultimately claim Kaiyuan Prefecture, as that was already a foregone conclusion. While regretting that they had not discovered this sooner, they were more curious about how the other two senior brothers would respond to this matter.
Would they just willingly hand over the title of the "First Disciple" of the Three Immortals Sect?
Amidst the various speculations, True Master Yun Miao was completely taken aback.
He sought out Sister You Yao, thinking to seize this opportunity to offer some help without any risk and to claim some of the items she had promised beforehand, also to taste the flavor of Emperor’s Aura.
To his surprise, he saw a scene that even moved him at a glance.
He saw You Yao sitting serenely on the high platform, her fair face under the Treasure Crown exuding a sense of indifference as she calmly scanned the scene below.
Beneath her, four Great Demons clad in heavy armor, the Taoist talismans on them profound and enigmatic. Although Yun Miao was not skilled in artifact crafting, his cultivation and experience allowed him to grasp some understanding, showing how much effort You Yao had put into these.
Beyond this, what truly made Yun Miao envious was the White Deer Great Demon lazily sitting on the steps ahead of the four Six-Six Transformation Great Demons, slowly picking its teeth with its nails.
Its face bore a scar, and it was dressed in a short yellow cloth shirt, yet the armored demons dared not make a sound.
"..."
Yun Miao knew that Qing Guang’s Master Uncle had two child servants, Lu and Crane, and had heard that Lu Tong had a brother in the secular world. He never expected that this brother had silently reached a cultivation level not weaker than his own and had been assigned by the Master Uncle to You Yao.
In the North Continent, there were some Third Rank Great Demons, but those who reached the Ninety-nine Changes and hadn’t pledged to the Three Immortals Sect were rare indeed.
"What are you here for?" You Yao looked over.
"Nothing... Nothing, just looking around." Yun Miao squeezed out a smile, inevitably feeling a bit disappointed. With such a formidable lineup, it seemed there was no need for him.
Besides, apart from these, You Yao’s original four prefectures also needed Great Demons to oversee them, indicating that her background was even more profound than this.
In comparison, his own master never provided such support, causing some resentment to well up in his heart.
"Go ahead."
You Yao no longer looked at him but turned her gaze towards the White Deer Great Demon: "Move quickly."
She wouldn’t give too many orders. The matter of breaking cities and occupying lands had been done numerous times by the other party. In fact, half of the territory of her four prefectures was conquered thanks to White Deer.
The White Deer stopped picking its teeth, smiled faintly, entirely unbothered by the woman’s attitude.
If the situation remained stalemated, it would only be increasingly sidelined. Only by making significant contributions could it secure an opportunity for its brother to shed the child servant identity and truly join the Qingguang Cave.
No matter how high a demon’s cultivation, it was merely a demon. Without the guise of an immortal, it would never be able to lift its head among the Immortal Sect disciples.
It wobbled to its feet, leading the four tall figures away from the great hall.
As the White Deer Great Demon set off, this news finally brewed to its peak in the North Continent.
"Senior Brother indeed had foresight."
Elsewhere, Hua Ming uncharacteristically refrained from bickering with his senior brother. Sister You Yao had released the news beforehand, there was no doubt she would give her all to ensure success.
Clearly, they weren’t just after one Heavenly Tower Mountain.
Had they not withdrawn in time, not only would they have been humiliated, but had any accident occurred, they might not have survived, becoming the second Chi Yun Cave, with no one to appeal to for justice.
"But that kid from the Southern Continent, not only did he not leave, he even set up his Tai Xu True Monarch Temple all over Kaiyuan Prefecture."
