Infinite Save: I Cultivate Immortality Through Reincarnation - Chapter 291: Utterly Shameless
Chenping Continent, Fallen Sword Mountain Range.
With each step the lean cultivator clad in pure white daoist robes took towards the direction of the Abyssal Tower, the dense, pervading demonic aura would thin out a little more.
A piercing metallic grinding sound rang out from within the bronze tower.
The five cultivators at the Dao Union Realm stood there, their gazes all fixed upon that lean cultivator.
The skin of these great powers at the Dao Union Realm, which had been exposed and eroded by the demonic aura, had festered, even revealing bone.
At this very moment, flesh and blood were slowly regrowing.
A wisp of profound and wondrous Clear Light burst from the lean cultivator’s fingertip, and the instant this Clear Light appeared, the dense demonic aura pervading this world was instantly dispersed, vanishing without a trace.
“Immortal Qi?”
Bai Yuze, whose facial flesh was slowly regrowing, widened his eyes. He recognized that wisp of profound and wondrous Clear Light; it was completely identical to the speck of Immortal Qi hidden within that ancient jade slip.
Could it be Si Chen of the North Pass Sect?
No, he was wearing the daoist robes of the Kongshan Sect. Moreover, to wield Immortal Qi so casually was definitely something only a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension Realm could accomplish.
The Path to Immortality on Chenping Continent had been severed for seven thousand years.
Now, another Realman at the Immortal Ascension Realm had appeared?
These great powers at the Dao Union Realm were all shocked for a moment, but then, remembering that the Great Demon gestating within the demon egg suppressed inside the Abyssal Tower was also above the Immortal Ascension Realm, they relaxed.
One could even say they breathed a sigh of relief.
That wisp of profound and wondrous Clear Light struck the colossal bronze tower directly. Countless transparent ripples undulated across the tower’s body, completely mobilizing all the remaining vestiges of immortal dao essence within the entire Abyssal Tower.
Alongside the piercing metallic grinding, a low, deep, and resonant chanting sound also began to emanate from within the Abyssal Tower.
The chanting grew louder and louder, while the metallic grinding grew softer and softer.
Crack!
The sound of an eggshell being crushed came from within the massive bronze tower. Then, fragments of the Great Demon’s Egg, like a rain of black meteorites containing boundless resentment and filthy aura, fell downwards from the base of the Abyssal Tower, smashing onto the ground of the valley below.
“The Great Demon’s Egg?”
Lu Li stopped walking and said indifferently,
“A mere pseudo-immortal.”
The several Dao Union Realm cultivators from the Five Great Sects walked towards the lean cultivator dressed in the Kongshan Sect’s pure white daoist robes. Although the injuries left on their bodies from the demonic aura erosion had mostly healed under the repair of their own innate spiritual energy, judging from their withered appearance and depleted auras, it was clear that resisting the struggle of this Great Demon’s Egg had cost them a significant amount of vitality.
“Senior.”
Bai Yuze, at the forefront, bowed with clasped hands towards Lu Li’s direction. The other four Dao Union Realm cultivators also immediately saluted Lu Li.
“This junior is Bai Yuze of the Lingxiao Temple. Many thanks for your rescue today, Senior. That Chenping Continent could turn peril into safety under the threat of this demon egg is entirely due to your assistance, Senior.”
Lu Li merely stood there, his gaze first falling upon the demon egg wreckage in the valley, then lifting to lock onto the Abyssal Tower suspended in the air.
“This matter is concluded here. The Path to Immortality has been reconnected.”
Lu Li’s eyes did not fall upon these several Dao Union Realm cultivators from the Five Great Sects as he spoke thus.
The Path to Immortality has been reconnected.
These several Dao Union Realm cultivators from the Five Great Sects were not the least bit surprised. The moment they saw this lean-faced cultivator in Kongshan Sect’s pure white robes unleash Immortal Qi from his fingertip, they had already realized this fact.
And this also meant that these five individuals, currently at the Dao Union Realm in cultivation, now had the possibility to advance further.
The Immortal Ascension Realm.
It represented nearly limitless lifespan and the truly world-influencing power.
Although Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators possessed a lifespan approaching infinity, all thirty-one Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators who had emerged throughout Chenping Continent’s history had long since perished.
Because of the wear and tear of the Great Dao and Karmic Backlash.
The theoretically limitless lifespan of an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator would ultimately, one day, end in demise due to the wear and tear of the Great Dao and Karmic Backlash.
This was unavoidable.
It was rumored there existed a shortcut method that could allow an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator to escape the effects of Great Dao wear and Karmic Backlash, but what exactly this method was, no cultivator below the Immortal Ascension Realm knew.
“Next, Chenping Continent will welcome a brand new order. Conduct yourselves well.”
Lu Li shifted his gaze away from the Abyssal Tower and spoke to those several Dao Union Realm cultivators currently presiding over the Five Great Sects.
“Many thanks for your guidance, Senior.”
Bai Yuze bowed with clasped hands.
He couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he had spoken to someone with such humble deference.
The Lingxiao Temple was the leader among the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent.
And Bai Yuze had ascended to the position of Supreme Pivot Elder of the Lingxiao Temple four thousand years ago, belonging to the same era as the Supreme Imperial Law Elder Huo Mu of the Kongshan Sect.
In all of Chenping Continent, probably only Li Haoran of the Kongshan Sect could hold an edge over him, and Bai Yuze genuinely admired that figure who was born in the same era as Su Hongzhen.
If the Path to Immortality had not been severed, Li Haoran would have undoubtedly become the thirty-second Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator of Chenping Continent.
This was the consensus among the current Dao Union Realm cultivators of Chenping Continent.
Unfortunately, there were no ‘ifs’.
Up until now, Bai Yuze, Meng Shaoyuan, and the others still did not know exactly who this Realman at the Immortal Ascension Realm before them was, but they had no right to ask.
Then, Lu Li shifted his gaze to Yu Zhou, the Supreme Pivot Elder of the Mirage Palace, standing slightly behind Bai Yuze.
“You are from the Mirage Palace?”
Lu Li asked.
“This junior is.”
Yu Zhou bowed and replied.
“This Great Demon’s Egg within the Fallen Sword Mountain Range was formed from the corruption of the Dao Foundation of the Falling Star Realman, Su Hongzhen, who perished here seven thousand years ago. Your attempt to use the Abyssal Tower to suppress the corrupted Dao Foundation was a good idea.”
Lu Li said slowly,
“But the hidden danger it brought is precisely as you see now. The Abyssal Tower has also been corroded by the Realman Su’s Dao Foundation. Allowing this to continue, I fear a new demon egg might very well form within the Abyssal Tower, with unthinkable consequences.”
“……”
Yu Zhou did not speak, merely lowering his head and listening.
Seeing that this Supreme Pivot Elder of the Mirage Palace had no reaction, Lu Li continued,
“Although I don’t have absolute certainty, I can try to see if I can completely separate the remaining corrupted Dao Foundation from this Abyssal Tower. Consider it settling a potential disaster for your Mirage Palace.”
Hearing this, Yu Zhou hastily bowed,
“No…”
But his words had only just left his mouth halfway when Lu Li waved his sleeve grandly, shrinking that bronze tower hundreds of *zhang* tall and drawing it into his palm.
He gave Yu Zhou no room for refusal whatsoever.
“No need to thank me.”
Lu Li waved his hand towards Yu Zhou’s direction, then transformed into a streak of rainbow light. His figure vanished from the Fallen Sword Mountain Range, leaving behind only a clear, bright voice:
“I am Kong Yang of the Kongshan Sect. You may seek me at the Caijun Tower on Qingchan Peak!”
