Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1373 - 805: Chi Yunzi at Any Cost_2

"The great tribulation is nearing its end, regardless of victory or defeat, you will not be missing your share of incense." Lady Houtu put away her smile and spoke seriously, "Do not continue to intensify the conflict between the two sects. Your grievances can be settled slowly after the tribulation."

Since the fall of the Divine Dynasty is already set, it’s better to be straightforward and swift.

She doesn’t care who becomes the Immortal Emperor, but she doesn’t wish for the innocent common people to fall into another disaster because of this position.

"I don’t know what agreement Emperor Dongji has reached with you, but if you need any help, you can come to me first."

Lady Houtu is aware of Emperor Dongji’s thoughts. He is no longer satisfied with his current position and is eager for change. Naturally, he hopes the situation becomes chaotic, enticing The Three Pure Ones and the Buddha into the fray. This is why he shamelessly approached Shen Yi, even conceding face, engaging in verbal sophistry in front of the two Joyful True Buddhas.

What she meant to say is that whatever Emperor Dongji can provide, she can provide as well, and it doesn’t require this young man to do anything else.

Consider it a gesture of thanks for his past "unintentional act."

"Go back."

Lady Houtu gently waved her sleeve, evidently no longer interested in casually strolling now that she had her answer.

"..."

Shen Yi raised his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, and respectfully bowed to take his leave.

No matter how much someone looks like a good person, it’s only a likeness. The human heart is hard to fathom, let alone discerning the true intentions of an Emperor.

Shen Yi admitted he didn’t have such ability, so certain things were better off done by himself.

He turned and returned to the main hall.

It was only after Shen Yi left that Shi Mu approached from the other end of the street, observing Lady Houtu’s elegant face, where the joy she hadn’t seen for years had quietly vanished, returning to a somber and cold demeanor, prompting a gentle sigh.

"Lady..." She wished to offer comfort.

"It’s no matter."

Lady Houtu composed herself, her lips subtly lifted, "It was only a luxury."

Perhaps it was the suffocating years in the Emperor’s Mansion making her seek a reason for a major uproar, hence birthing such absurd speculation.

Even if a commotion did arise, the ones who suffer are still the bystanding fish of Shen Zhou in the clashes of the immortals.

...

The entire East Continent fell into an unprecedented silence.

The hundred beasts hibernated, the Great Demons retreated.

Despite the barrier of Sumeru Mountain, the beings within this realm still sensed that imposing aura stirring anxiously and fearfully within the clouds.

The four Heroic Peaks still stood, with True Buddhas and Emperors sitting together.

Below, disciples of the two sects lined up one by one, but compared to before, there’s less gravity on everyone’s faces.

Due to the circumstances of their senior disciple brother, they inexplicably lost the opportunity to partake in the great tribulation, turning into mere spectators.

But no one complained about this, given the fierce prior duels where these once proud Daluo Immortals and Bodhisattvas had clearly seen the truth: ninety-nine percent of cultivators don’t have the qualifications to aspire to the position of Immortal Emperor.

They are merely the white bones that pave this path to heaven, just like those seven Bodhisattvas who reached the level of Ninety-nine Changes only to perish under Jade Void Universe True Monarch.

Now, they didn’t have to personally enter the slaughter and those truly taking action were the undying predecessors, while the division of the final Dao grounds still rested with themselves.

Thinking of this, everyone’s gaze eagerly turned toward the firmament.

The originally boundless and heavy Yellow Cloud, before the hundreds of silhouettes on the horizon, surged like a tumultuous ocean.

Each of them was a terrifying existence at the pinnacle of the world.

Even the Jade Void Universe True Monarch who previously dominated his peers, causing the entire Bodhi Sect to bow their heads, could only rank at the bottom among them.

"If the two have no objections, then let us continue."

The Joyful True Buddha looked expressionlessly at the opposite side, clearly still dissatisfied with Emperor Dongji’s earlier sophistry.

"As you wish."

Emperor Dongji glanced below with a smile. Indeed Shen Yi did not hold an advantage in this level of duel.

But the towering rage he incited among the Bodhi Sect ensured he remained the core of potential chaos.

Just as the Emperor expected.

As soon as the Joyful True Buddha’s words fell, a Great Freedom Bodhisattva swiftly darted out, his bare red feet stomping fiercely on the Yellow Cloud. Apart from the four Heroic Peaks, surrounding mountains trembled violently.

"Come forth!"

He cast a cold glance at the assembled Golden Immortals, his gaze fixed directly on the figure of Xuan Shang among them.

The voice, resounding like a great bell, echoed through the heavens and earth, causing the disciples of the Three Immortals Sect to change color. Indeed... Even though the argument for reestablishment was made, past enmities could not be erased.

At least seven Great Freedom Bodhisattvas were determined to send their first disciple brother into slumber.

Moreover, unlike other elders, this brother had only recently achieved Second Rank. Although he occupied many Dao teachings, he abandoned the old method of using demons to harvest Emperor’s Aura, and might not be able to accumulate enough foundation to reshape his Tao Body in a short time.

Once he returns to the Heavenly Dao, who knows how many years he will remain dormant before awakening.

By then, not to mention being one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, by the time he returns to the terrestrial world, he might find that everything has changed.

"... ..."

Shen Yi opened his eyes, just as he intended to rise, Chi Yunzi immediately pulled him back.

"Why should a junior act, let me stretch my muscles first." Another Golden Immortal laughed aloud, casually slapped the sword hilt, and in an instant, a thunderbolt illuminating all East Sumeru.

The true form of the Great Freedom Bodhisattva was Dharma Aspect.

Shedding the grand Golden Body thousands of feet high, his seven-foot-tall figure strode out, opening his mouth wide like a whale swallowing a long river, directly absorbing the thunder into his belly.

The moment they clashed, the scene was earth-shattering, making previous debates among juniors look like child’s play.

Two Dao Patterns slowly emerged, each representing a grand Dao principle.

If not for the suppression of four True Buddha Emperors here, their every move would be enough to shake the entire East Continent.

Undying and Undying signifies no restrictions.

The immortal’s flesh withstood a palm from the Bodhisattva, and half of the Tao Body shattered instantly, yet his long laughter still echoed in the air, and he countered by unleashing the Immortal Rope, binding the Bodhisattva tightly.

He wielded the Immortal Rope like a whip, and with a thunderous boom, countless raging thunder fell like a sudden downpour, pouring entirely on the Bodhisattva’s flesh.

The monk bathed in thunder plasma, surprisingly closed his eyes, the entire person like a wooden stake.

His skin was scorched black, but soon new flesh grew, as if possessing endless vitality, repeatedly repairing the physique.

"Humph... ..." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The Golden Immortal laughed no more, but panted heavily in midair, cursing after a long while: "Crazy!"

The opponent was using Tribulation Power without restraint, intending to exhaust him completely.

Evidently, the pioneering Golden Immortal felt some heartache, as the foundation he accumulated in the Heavenly Dao was built little by little, how could he readily waste it away.

The monk opposite didn’t compete in techniques but took such a costless approach, clearly incensed by the heavy casualties of the Bodhi Sect earlier, intending to forcefully regain face.

The Golden Immortal of the Seventy-two Caves slowly furrowed his brows.

Though everyone appreciated Shen Yi, few could squander their own reserves for the grudges he previously formed.

At this moment, Chi Yunzi stood up indifferently, glanced at the brother in the sky, and said coldly: "Let me."

The Golden Immortal hurriedly seized the opportunity to retreat, returning to the crowd and began to meditate with closed eyes, repairing the damaged Tao Body.

"... ..."

The Great Freedom Bodhisattva slowly walked out of the thunder plasma, a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips.

He continued to focus on the figure of Xuan Shang.

After reestablishing the arguments, the most critical task for the Bodhi Sect was to first expel the Jade Void Universe True Monarch from the mortal world, for which the consumption of some Tribulation Power was insignificant.

As for these Golden Immortals each hiding their true intentions, wishing for them to exert effort without involving the decisive point of victory seemed as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

At this moment, the eyelid of the Great Freedom Bodhisattva suddenly twitched.

He abruptly looked around, spotting an ascent of red rising amidst the yellow clouds all around, quickly dyeing the underneath of the four peaks a crimson hue.

Before the fight began, seventy thousand tribulations were directly unleashed?!

The Great Freedom Bodhisattva’s pupils shrank, looking at the Taoist opposite sitting cross-legged on the Chi Yun, swallowing nervously.

"Costless?"

Chi Yunzi looked calm, not a trace of madness visible, only the corner of his mouth gradually oozed a few sarcasms.

His own family was almost exterminated, what worldly possessions were left and for whom?

In an instant, the majestic Chi Yun converged into an immeasurable monstrous dragon, a ferocious Dragon Head slowly descending, the fierce eyes gradually met that Great Freedom Bodhisattva.
