Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1299 - 773: Who Will Stand Up for the Disciples of North Continent
Chapter 1299: Chapter 773: Who Will Stand Up for the Disciples of North Continent
Clear pool of jade waves.
A white-robed monk with gaunt features quietly squats by the water’s edge, scooping up the cold, chilling water, tirelessly washing those beautiful, slender hands over and over again.
Soon, several streaks of light silently swept in, transforming into human forms behind him.
"How did it go?" The white-robed monk flicked away the water droplets from his fingertips, stood up calmly, and turned back to look at the bodhisattvas.
"Venerable..." The bodhisattvas looked a bit troubled, lowering their heads in unison.
The Northern Continent has always been under the jurisdiction of the Three Immortal Sect, with the three major sect hierarchs guarding it, countless caves and veins passing down legacies, not to mention the occasional visits from the Five Immortals of the Immortal Court to preach the law.
If it were before, by disguising themselves a little, they could catch some news, more or less.
But ever since the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva took action last time and cut down several Immortal Sect disciples, the entire Northern Continent became like a fortress against unfamiliar faces.
The strange degree of this change is completely not inferior to the occurrences during the Southern Sumeru’s breaking phase.
What’s worse is hearing that Master You Yao was thwarted in the fight for the Dao field, and now he’s filled with thoughts of using their heads to restore his prestige.
Even just today on their way back to report to the Pure World Bodhisattva, they almost got caught by those Three Immortals Sect disciples, at this rate, let alone probing any information, they fear they will find it impossible to move freely in the Northern Continent.
Although the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva’s boundary is profound, he is now deep in Three Immortals’ territory, watched by countless eyes; any hand exposed will confirm the act of bullying, which would inevitably escalate the dispute between the two sects to an irreparable level.
"Really quite similar." The Pure World Venerable dried his hands, gently rubbing his palms.
"Venerable, what’s similar?" The bodhisattvas looked up, full of doubt.
"This person, once comparable to our sect’s Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, this Tai Xu True Monarch."
The Pure World Venerable’s lips slightly lifted, looking far ahead, he said softly: "Coming from the Southern Continent to this unfamiliar place, first restrained himself, remaining obscure, and after preparing well, he acted decisively, rising rapidly at an unimaginable speed, gaining fame, then drawing the attention of a certain sect elder, leveraging this to join a great sect..."
"Don’t you think he and Lingxu are very much like Dragon Subduing and Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva?"
Whether it be cultivators or gods and buddhas, every action carries inertia. A person will instinctively repeat what once brought them benefits.
The Tai Xu True Monarch is now the most prominent existence in the Northern Continent; even these followers of the Bodhi Sect have heard of him.
Upon hearing this, many bodhisattvas realized that their journey to the Northern Continent to investigate the disappearance of their fellow sect members, upon reflection, that this True Monarch who suddenly left the Southern Continent must know quite a bit about it, otherwise, why leave his homeland to seek refuge with the Three Immortals Sect.
"But now, he has already joined the Three Immortals Sect, gained support, and would no longer fear our Southern Sumeru. Even if we privately inquire, why would he divulge the true words?"
"Then strip him of his sanctuary."
The Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva’s smile faded, his gaze grew cold: "Bring him back; I’ll wait for you outside the Northern Continent."
He had a premonition that this person was the key to unraveling it all.
Before his words were finished, the bodhisattvas’ faces had turned extremely peculiar.
Of course, they understood the reasons why the Pure World Venerable couldn’t act himself, but relying only on themselves, a few Six-Six Transformation walkers, to capture the Tai Xu True Monarch within the Kaiyuan Prefecture, under the eyes of the sect before they react... it was simply absurd.
Fortunately, they were not given a chance to speak, as the Pure World Bodhisattva flipped his palm slightly, revealing a dark golden Demon Suppression Zen Stick.
"Five Tempering Buddha Treasure..."
Upon seeing the Zen Stick, the bodhisattvas’ eyes became fixed and dazed.
Only now did they realize that the Pure World Venerable was not joking, and placed a greater importance on this matter than they anticipated.
This Zen Stick was not something given to juniors for protection, but counted among the most frequently used Buddha treasures, a weapon meant for duels of the same boundary, calling it his right-hand companion wouldn’t be exaggerating.
"Go ahead." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
The white-robed monk gently tossed the Zen Stick, then turned away, heading out of the Northern Continent.
Now that the Zen Stick had appeared, he could no longer stay here, otherwise those Golden Immortals certainly would swarm out, leaving no room for escape.
The bodhisattvas caught the Zen Stick collectively, their hands trembling slightly as they caressed this cold treasure, having undergone five temperings, representing its contained tribulation power of half a hundred thousand; even if they could only unleash a fraction, it far surpassed the essence of a Nine-nine Transformation cultivator.
With this in hand, apprehending a Third Grade cultivator is no hardship.
...
Northern Continent, Kaiyuan Prefecture.
From the earlier quiet coldness to now, cultivators come and go in an endless stream; only a month’s time has passed.
The reason undoubtedly lies with Master You Yao.
Everyone wants to know how this struggle will conclude, whether Lingxu Master Uncle’s sudden appearance signifies disputes arising among the elders.
Yet in the end, this Master Sister You Yao, despite suffering heavy losses, began turning her focus towards those Bodhi Sect monks.
This essentially meant the matter ended rather haphazardly.
Tai Xu True Monarch became the first among the Northern Continent’s fellow sect members to successfully snatch food from You Yao’s teeth, thereby taking possession of the Dao field in Kaiyuan Prefecture.
