Chapter 729: Chapter 529: Dustless Pure Land (Part 2)

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch did not speak again, and Lu Qian became increasingly uneasy.

After a moment, the Celestial Monarch finally spoke softly: "Immortal techniques are of great consequence, with many karmic ties, and cannot be transmitted lightly for fear of calamity. Additionally, you must warn your disciples that transforming and traversing like butterflies, engaging with the heavens and the earth, is no trivial matter. In the face of the Great Dao, a moment’s negligence can lead to permanent loss, with the Divine Soul utterly extinguished."

Lu Qian was shocked, cold sweat formed on his forehead; he never realized the danger was so profound!

To think he has been roaming in the Dao Rhyme for over thirty years, isn’t every moment spent circling Ghost Gate’s threshold?!

Wait, the Celestial Monarch’s words have deep meaning. Why is he warning the disciples, and what about himself?

Before Lu Qian could ponder further, the Life and Death Celestial Monarch spoke again: "You wish to resist the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, this is good. But as I have said before, my authority and rights are limited, and I cannot recruit talents. You wish to pledge allegiance, but I cannot accept."

His attitude had changed! Lu Qian had one question after another spring up in his mind, but he could only temporarily suppress them and follow the conversation.

"Celestial Monarch does not need to take me as a subordinate, nor be responsible for my actions. It just happens that what I do aligns with the Celestial Monarch’s goals."

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch closed his pale, turbid eyes: "Your cultivation is far too low. The means left by the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch cannot be resisted until Void Refining level; you have no power to withstand them."

"A tall tree grows from tiny buds, a nine-story tower starts with a pile of earth, and even True Immortal Celestial Monarchs cultivate step by step. How do they know my humble Golden Core cannot reach the day of Void Refining?" Lu Qian said loudly.

"Moreover, I will not be arrogant, nor will I underestimate myself. I will undertake as much as my capabilities allow, remain hidden and grow when weak, like a dragon that avoids use; when strength is sufficient, I will be unstoppable, soaring like a dragon in the sky. Please be assured, Celestial Monarch."

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch smiled subtly.

Encouraged, Lu Qian blinked bashfully: "However, what the Celestial Monarch said is very true, my cultivation is indeed low, and my means are limited. I wonder if it’s possible to pass down some Immortal Techniques for defense; if not, I find the Exterminating Thunder Lotus very appealing..."

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Regrettably, the limitations remain, everything accomplished by me, through my hands, for my gains, pointed out by me, none can be given to you."

"No problem, no problem." Lu Qian agreed repeatedly, although deeply disappointed, being able to proactively stand in the territory of the Life and Death Celestial Monarch, naturally there would be countless advantages.

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch continued: "You must understand, everything accomplished by me, through my hands, for my gains, pointed out by me, none can be given to you."

Lu Qian raised his head in some confusion: "Yes, Celestial Monarch, I understand."

"Everything accomplished by me, through my hands, for my gains, pointed out by me, none can be given to you." The Life and Death Celestial Monarch emphasized his words.

Lu Qian suddenly opened his eyes wide.

...

On Minglong Mountain, the sharp whistles never ceased, silver lights, golden rays, and various attacks interweaved, illuminating half the night sky.

There was another explosion, and the Immortal Dragon Slayer Sword shattered with a strike from the twin whips, as eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators were thrown high, falling into various parts of Minglong Mountain, many spewing blood mid-air.

The Ming Snake Daoist Soldiers were entangled with the Venus Unity Ball, parts of their scale armor shattered, revealing streams of flickering light within their bodies.

Wu Yan had just leveled up, and hadn’t had the chance to practice the many Golden Core level Secret Techniques recorded in the Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Profound Skill. Coupled with her depleted Spiritual Power, her Water Whip, Water Blade, and Water Tornado attacks against the Indestructible Golden Body of the Qiming Spirit Monarch were nothing more than weak and powerless distractions.

They are close to being unable to hold on!

"Guh Niqiang!" Qiming Spirit Monarch laughed loudly, effortlessly smashing the Starlight Longsword slashed by the Vast Sea Star Grand Array into pieces, "Is this your reinforcement? So weak, in front of this Monarch, nothing but garbage!"

Just as he finished speaking, a flash of crimson light appeared before him, Dong Chengjun, struggling with his severe injuries, appeared in front of him. With a turn of his body, a five-finger-wide broadsword, surprisingly light, swiftly like lightning, directly slashed towards Qiming Spirit Monarch’s throat.

Yet, with a light clang, the broadsword clashed against the platinum glow of the Indestructible Golden Body, merely stirring some ripples. Then, the Qiming Spirit Monarch raised his golden whip, causing Dong Chengjun to cough up a mouthful of fresh blood, being heavily blasted into the mountain.

"If you don’t come out, I’ll kill all these people." Qiming Spirit Monarch said triumphantly, shouting loudly.

A white radiance slowly rose, Guh Niqiang’s body covered in a thin layer of Cyan Flame, fresh blood seeping from various wounds, her golden-red eyes defiantly glaring at Qiming Spirit Monarch.

"Stop! I’ll go with you."

Qiming Spirit Monarch nodded satisfied, another whip shattered the surging water wave, the exploding aftermath directly sent the exhausted Wu Yan flying away: "You should have done this sooner——"

Roaring sounds resonated through the night sky, a river of Tri-Color Ruyi Divine Sand raged, spanning the mountain, swallowing Qiming Spirit Monarch.

It is the Tri-Color Ruyi Divine Sand!

Ye Xiao stepped on the Divine Sand, charging directly here, shouting loudly: "Daoist friends of Yunshan Sect, Ye Xiao comes to assist!"

And behind her, Master Cangfeng revealed his form, holding a light beam-shaped Magical Treasure, dazzlingly sharp and boundless.

Just now, Ye Xiao suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Let’s go for it, take a gamble!" In a flash, his figure dashed towards Minglong Mountain.

He understood Ye Xiao’s intention, and the balance in his heart also tilted, so he followed closely, with spiritual power surging and a sharp sword intent soaring into the sky.

Lu Qian, I hope you’re really okay!

...

"It’s time to send you back," said the Life and Death Celestial Monarch.

Lu Qian took a deep breath of the extremely active immortal spirit qi, which made the spiritual power circulate quickly, and he was indeed a bit reluctant to leave.

However, this world, or rather the Immortal Realm of the Life and Death Celestial Monarch—the Dustless Pure Land, shared the same flow of time as the Primordial Main Realm, making it impossible to stay here for cultivation.

Thus, after being here for half an hour, he was extremely anxious about the ongoing battle on Minglong Mountain.

This was the first time the entire sect had faced a Nascent Soul Spirit Monarch, and there was really no confidence in his heart.

Has the Cangzhou Nascent Soul come to aid? Can our Ming Snake Daoist Soldiers, Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting, Vast Sea Star Battle Array, along with Wu Yan and Jade Flood Dragon, two Golden Core cultivators, hold on?

Sensing the anxiety in Lu Qian’s heart, the Life and Death Celestial Monarch said, "As I’ve mentioned earlier, my immortal power can no longer penetrate the Heaven-Encompassing Forbidden Immortal Tent. So now, we must ask another Celestial Monarch to help send you back."

Lu Qian looked up in surprise, another Celestial Monarch?!

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch gently took a breath and blew upwards.

Instantly, the intense tremor caused a crack to slowly appear in the pure white sky. Outside, there was pitch-black darkness without a hint of light. Just one glance made Lu Qian feel dizzy, as if his divine sense was about to be swallowed up. He hurriedly focused his mind and lowered his eyes.

"Moon," said the Life and Death Celestial Monarch, uttering the name.

In the next moment, a soft, clear light illuminated the originally pitch-black space!

Was this... moonlight?

A full moon suddenly appeared in the dark world, shining brilliantly like jade, casting its bright light.

Moonlight poured down like water, directly into the Dustless Pure Land, enveloping the golden giant tree in a thin veil.

A clear and melodious female voice echoed, like the trickling sound of a cold, secluded spring.

"Life and Death Celestial Monarch, what brings you here?"

However, the Life and Death Celestial Monarch nodded towards Lu Qian: "Lu Qian, aren’t you going to pay respects to the Moon Celestial Monarch?"

The Moon Celestial Monarch? Ah, it’s the legendary master of the Moon Palace, one of the dual saints, the Arctic Celestial God—

Hidden Mysterious Que Moon Celestial Monarch!

Lu Qian quickly knelt down on the ground, respectfully paying his respects. But taking advantage of this movement, he swiftly glanced sideways, yet saw nothing.

This time, whether with naked eyes or divine sense, all he saw was void.

It seemed the Moon Celestial Monarch did not wish to reveal her form in front of this mortal cultivator.

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch pointed to Lu Qian and briefly explained the situation to the Moon Celestial Monarch.

"Moon, you also have the authority to patrol the night sky and uphold the justice of the realms. It’s up to you to send Lu Qian back to the Primordial Realm."

"Merciful Propagation of Miao Fa Celestial Monarch..." The Moon Celestial Monarch, after hearing the whole story, couldn’t help but recite this name. She paused for a moment and then said again, "Alright, I will help you."

A beam of moonlight suddenly fell, enveloping Lu Qian. Before Lu Qian could react, his body shuddered and he disappeared from the Dustless Pure Land!

A moment later, the voice of the Moon Celestial Monarch sounded again.

"I have sent him back. But Life and Death Celestial Monarch, why go to such lengths for a mere mortal cultivator?"

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch was silent for a moment, then softly said, "He is..."

The sound of the wind rose, the leaves of the golden giant tree rustled, swallowing his words.
