Chapter 473 319: Struggle for Supremacy in the Fire Domain

In the Third Heaven, the Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure flying chariot of Fairy Ji Yue slowly headed towards the Fire Domain, with Li Jizhou, Ji Yue, and Zhao Tianyuan sitting across from each other.

Ji Yue's Dao-protecting old woman personally drove the flying chariot.

Upon reuniting, Ji Yue and her companion showed noticeably more respect towards Li Jizhou.

"Daoist friend Huangshan, what do you think of the Immortal Daoist?" Zhao Tianyuan was somewhat uncertain about this trip.

Three months ago, the moment the Immortal Daoist appeared, he received a message from his subordinates in the Cangming Imperial City. The Immortal Daoist uttered just one sentence, and without hesitation, the Emperor of Cangming sent the Chancellor to personally deliver An Liuli, who was connected to Master Chang Chun.

This showed the standing of the Immortal Daoist in the eyes of the Emperor of Cangming.

If the Immortal Daoist truly, as rumored, repairs his Dao injuries every thousand years by seizing bodies to maintain his youth, then Ji Yue, with his Innate Spiritual Body, would be a likely target, mainly due to his youth.

Similarly, Ji Yue was also worried, after all, rumors had it that the Immortal Daoist once appeared in female guise.

This was one of the reasons she wasn't in a hurry to head to the Fire Domain.

Li Jizhou smiled faintly, not hiding his conjecture, and pointed out the truth:

"The credibility of the rumors is low. If it truly was possible to infinitely seize bodies, then even if the Celestial Dao doesn't care, the other old fogeys in the Spiritual Sea wouldn't stand idly by."

Ji Yue nodded but then smiled and said, "What you say, Daoist friend Huang, certainly makes sense. However, some seniors speculate that perhaps the old fogeys in the Spiritual Sea have an agreement not to target the descendants of those old fogeys. There are too many talented individuals in this world.

"The fairy has a point. However, what I'm saying is not that the old fogeys in the Spiritual Sea are afraid of having their descendants' bodies seized and thus taking action. What I'm saying is, in the face of infinite body-seizing, lifespan extension, and the opportunity to become immortal... it's impossible not to be tempted. And the fact that he has been safe all these years is proof that there is no such infinite body-seizing secret skill. Otherwise, even if this secret skill has many hidden dangers and difficulties, those who see the great age of ascension approaching but whose lifespans are near their end would certainly not let him go!" Li Jizhou spoke calmly, without contention or anger, yet clearly.

Ji Yue nodded slightly, but it was unclear whether she was truly convinced by Li Jizhou's words.

However, seeing Li Jizhou's indifferent demeanor, she felt a bit more at ease.

After all, now in her heart, Li Jizhou's status was not lower than hers, and even perhaps, there were elders in his clan in the Central Spiritual Sea.

Zhao Tianyuan thought the same.

"Daoist friend Huang, you have true insight, I respect you." Zhao Tianyuan said.

"Hongyue also respects Daoist friend Huang."

"Please!"

After drinking it all in one go, Zhao Tianyuan looked at Li Jizhou again: "May I ask, Daoist friend Huang, do you know whether the Immortal Daoist's destruction of the Fire Domain this time is for the Potion of Immortality? Could it be that there truly is a divine elixir of immortality at the center of the Fire Domain?"

Li Jizhou chuckled and shook his head. A year ago, when the three of them gathered, Zhao Tianyuan had deliberately brought up the rumor of the Potion of Immortality to engage Ji Yue.

At the moment, however, it revealed the actual information he had.

Regarding the Potion of Immortality, it was surely just speculation, perhaps with no basis at all, simply because many secretive great powers coveted the outskirts of the Fire Domain.

"What do you two think?" Li Jizhou asked in return.

Zhao Tianyuan gave a self-deprecating smile, "Haha, to be honest, I've always just heard rumors about the divine elixir of immortality and am not even clear about its fundamental effects."

Ji Yue didn't show any displeasure, instead nodding with approval, "Aren't we all the same? The Potion of Immortality, that's a natural divine elixir that only an Immortal Monarch after ascension has the right to possess, and already became extinct before the ancient times, mostly ascending with the Immortal Monarchs to the Immortal Realm. How many times do people hear about it in the world?

Look at the Jiuli Dynasty's Saint Emperor whose lifespan has reduced and there is no Potion of Immortality to extend his life."

As Ji Yue spoke, she carefully sensed Li Jizhou's aura fluctuations.

The result was that she felt no abnormalities.

"Not from the Jiuli Dynasty?"

"Indeed, if it were truly the Potion of Immortality, the major dynasties of Central State, especially the Jiuli Dynasty and the Cangming Dynasty with their Saint Emperors nearing the end of their lifespans, would definitely get involved." Zhao Tianyuan added.

Li Jizhou nodded, looking quite serious, and said, "Indeed, it must not be for the Potion of Immortality, is there really such a thing as a Potion of Immortality?

His aim is clearly for Master Chang Chun.

However, he is not after the Quasi-Immortal Artifact, the Guanghan Seal; at his realm, not for extending the Immortal Race nor for contesting for kingship and dominance, whether he has a Quasi-Immortal Artifact or not makes little difference."

Seeing the usually easygoing Huangshan suddenly appearing serious, Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan became intrigued: "Oh? Judging by his actions since appearing in the world, he is indeed tracing the tracks of Master Chang Chun. It's just... at his Cultivation Realm, Master Chang Chun is really too insignificant, there seems to be no reason."

"What if the Immortal Daoist's Evergreen Secret Skill is related to him?" Li Jizhou continued to guide.

"Please explain further, Daoist friend Huang."

Li Jizhou no longer concealed, decisively saying with certainty: "The reason the Immortal Daoist can remain eternally youthful lies in the Cultivation Technique he practices, the Wood Attribute 'Hundred Transitions Immortal Skill'.

And as you know, Master Chang Chun also cultivates this Cultivation Technique."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan fell into contemplation.

Li Jizhou openly sharing his speculation was not because he was especially close to the two, but rather he hoped they would spread this speculation.

Currently, Li Jizhou had no power to resist the Immortal Daoist.

The only leverage he had was the information deduced from his behaviors.

Do not underestimate any piece of information, as it may become an effective means of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf.
