Chapter 474 319: Struggle for Supremacy in the Fire Domain

"Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Huang means... Immortal Daoist and Master Chang Chun are intricately connected?"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with the 'Hundred Rounds Immortal Skill'?"

The two were still somewhat doubtful, but Li Jizhou once again spoke with certainty, spreading rumors without any psychological burden: "Indeed, the reason Immortal Daoist is interested in someone like Master Chang Chun, who is like an ant to him, lies in the mystery of its longevity.

The 'Hundred Rounds Immortal Skill' he cultivates is flawless and extreme, able to use juniors who cultivate this same technique as nourishment, devouring their essence to rekindle life anew!

And the Taihao Sacred Land of the Eastern Desolation is where such nourishment is cultivated and provided for him.

This time, Immortal Daoist left the Central Spiritual Sea to devour young seedlings, but unexpectedly discovered the death of Master Chang Chun, so he followed his trail, hoping to find residual essence to devour."

These words sent a shock through Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan.

This was a version they had never heard of.

"Could it be that the reason Master Chang Chun was able to counterattack and form the Immortal Golden Core with a lower-grade spirit root was due to Immortal Daoist's work?"

Shocked as they were, the statement seemed too bizarre, and the two found it hard to fully believe at the moment.

After Li Jizhou finished speaking, he replayed it in his mind, and it all seemed to match up with what was currently known and heard.

Even after fabricating the tale, he found it somewhat credible.

"Could it be that the 'Evergreen Skill' I cultivated in my past life was truly part of Immortal Daoist's arrangement to cultivate nourishment?"

Li Jizhou's intention in creating this rumor was simply to disrupt Immortal Daoist's plan to annihilate the Fire Domain, given that many small cultivators at the bottom of the Eastern Desolation practiced the 'Evergreen Skill,' and once the rumor spread, it would cause widespread panic.

Moreover, the rumor wasn't entirely unfounded; the Demon Sect had indeed done similar things before, deliberately spreading the 'Nine Nether Demon Flame' cultivation technique, then devouring the demon flame to advance.

However, whether this move could affect the high and mighty Harmonization Dao Divine Venerable remained unknown.

He was simply doing his best.

Although Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan couldn't fully believe it, the possibility of being possessed was significantly reduced, and the speed of the flying palanquin increased sharply.

They each sent messages to try and verify Li Jizhou's words.

Before long, the flying palanquin had reached the outskirts of the Fire Domain.

By now, the Fire Domain was already packed with people.

Countless cultivators hovered in midair; those below the Fake Pill realm couldn't even find a spot in the sky, forced to stand on the ground.

Above the Fire Domain, Immortal Daoist, dressed in white, stood gracefully, enduring the endless blaze below.

Yet he seemed neither in a hurry nor concerned with the onlooking cultivators, resting with closed eyes, as if waiting for something unknown.

Behind him stood Yu Ziyu and other familiar figures from Li Jizhou's past life, seemingly frozen in place, clearly uncomfortable under the endless flames of the Fire Domain, yet unmoving.

Ji Yue suspended the flying palanquin in the Third Heaven but didn't dare get too close.

Li Jizhou gazed into the distance at Immortal Daoist, also noting the predicament of the familiar figures from his past life.

The space where Immortal Daoist stood was above the fourth layer of the Fire Domain; even Core Formation cultivators couldn't withstand it for long. Yet he obviously wasn't aiming for the nine familiar figures to perish early, but was rather like a frog being slowly boiled, little by little roasted.

Just like that, half a month passed in a flash.

On this day, Immortal Daoist finally moved.

His eyes suddenly opened, slowly raising his head to look into the sky, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You should have arrived?"

In the next moment, what seemed like a mortal's body suddenly burst forth with solid magical power.

The cyan verdant magical power illuminated the heavens, turning the sky a vibrant green, clearly the wood-attribute magical power within his dantian surging forth.

In an instant, the surrounding thousand miles of the Fire Domain were swept by his thick and lasting cyan verdant magical power.

The unlimited vitality contained within his magical power made it feel like a spring breeze, reviving life.

Li Jizhou immediately tried to block this magical power from reaching him, but found himself powerless to resist. His late-stage Foundation Establishment Cyan Emperor's magical power was as fragile as paper before the cyan verdant magical power, unable even to protect the air outside Ji Yue's flying palanquin, which was shielded by an old woman's tier-five magical power.

And in the moment that the cyan verdant magical power permeated his body, Li Jizhou felt astonishment in his heart, certain that this must be the Eternal Spring Magical Power he had practiced in his past life.

The vitality contained within was incredibly familiar to him.

"I guessed right after all, he was cultivating the 'Hundred Transitions Immortal Skill'!" The earlier speculation that his perennial youth might not be due to possession, after three lifetimes of understanding, led him to consider that it was the Evergreen Skill practiced in his past life, now unequivocally confirmed.

"But the normal effect of the 'Evergreen Skill' certainly wouldn't result in eternal youth. Even though in my past life my longevity exceeded that of my peers, it was still limited, and age couldn't be disguised."

The key is, if the Evergreen Skill cultivated in his past life had such a heaven-defying effect, the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror couldn't have concluded upon awakening Innate Wisdom in this life that the supreme cultivation technique acquired in his past life was the 'Cyan Emperor Creation Skill.'

"Could the rumor I casually fabricated have turned out to be true?" For a moment, Li Jizhou felt as if an unseen hand was manipulating his thoughts.

Ji Yue and Zhao Tianyuan simultaneously brought out their treasures, trying to resist the permeating cyan verdant magical power, yet no matter what rare treasures they used, all efforts were futile.

In the end, they could only anxiously experience the effects of the cyan verdant magical power.

"Boom~" Just as everyone was terrified of the cyan verdant magical power, an explosive sound suddenly erupted.
