Chapter 816: Chapter 511: Immortal-Slaying_2
“Alright, alright!”
Just then, an old woman came by and interrupted their conversation, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense. Now that the demons are gone, we are all that’s left after the calamity. Everything needs to be reconstructed. Hurry back to the Immortal Spirit Island and rebuild our family’s business!”
The young man heard this but was unwilling, “Granny, I…”
“What about you?”
The old woman glanced at him and lowered her voice, “Silly boy, don’t just look at the surface glamour and ignore the dangers behind it. This kind of whirlpool is not something you and I can get involved in. Go back with me honestly, have a few more children with Ling Er, and make our Immortal Spirit Island prosper. That is the righteous path, understand?”
...
The young man: “…”

And so, several months later.
The White Jade Immortal City broke through the realm, leaving behind a newly built academy and a world of reconstruction waiting to happen in the Twilight Realm.
The unrest in the lower realm, the calamity of the demons, thus came to an end.
Yet in the lower realm, among the earth immortals, the real drama was just beginning.
Several months later, in the Earth Immortal Realm, outside the Ascension Platform, within the execution ground.
“Zhou Yunming, a cultivator of the lower realm, Twilight Sect Master, who conspired with demons, brought chaos to one realm, and fed on the blood of countless living beings, is beyond forgiveness. Today, right here on the Immortal Slaying Stage, he shall be executed according to the law!”
Two enforcement cultivators, Celestial Soldiers from the Thunder Department, pressed a man onto the Immortal Slaying Stage right at the chopping block.
It was Zhou Yunming, the recently captured Twilight Sect Master.
Now look at this Immortal Slaying Stage at the execution ground!
The execution ground was vast, situated above the Sea of Clouds, with a platform built in the center from white jade, subtly incorporating Tai Chi, Bagua, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, along with Thunder Talisman Electric Seals, imbued with the True Law Cloud Pattern, dignified yet deadly.
Upon the platform, execution instruments were set, with a tall guillotine as the main piece. Its blade was as cold as ice, sending shivers down the spine.
Within the execution ground, around the high platform, a myriad of cultivators gathered, watching Zhou Yunming at the guillotine, inciting discussions and debates.
“Twilight Mountain…”
“To think such a scandal could happen?”
“Alas, the Calamity Realm Immortal Fruit, the promise of immortality, led so many astray, even to the point of madness.”
“Hmph, he chose his own path, what’s there to say?”
“Conspiring with demons, bringing chaos to a whole realm, devouring the blood of countless beings, such a person guilty of heinous crimes deserves to die, does he not?”
“He sure deserves more than death, but unlucky for Twilight Mountain, it’s stained with such infamy.”
“What lack of surveillance, what lack of instruction?”
“What do you mean lack of surveillance? It’s not easy to communicate between the upper and lower realms. This Zhou Yunming, being a sect master of the lower realm and in league with demons, didn’t report anything. The Monster Realm even sent a Demon God to seal the skies and earth, forbidding any news from going out. How could Twilight Mountain have been alerted?”
“Exactly. It has been just over three hundred years without anyone ascending from the lower realm, isn’t that a pretty normal occurrence?”
“The way you put it, if they didn’t know, then how could the Wandao School be aware of it?”
“Obviously, it’s because of that Honored Wandao!”
“With a Great Vehicle Body, comparable to a True Immortal, he also possesses Heaven-Connecting Skill and the Way of Inquiry, opening his eyes and glimpsing across three thousand worlds. Of course, he would notice something amiss.”
“He is of Mahayana, without the need for Crossing the Tribulation, with no concerns for his life, naturally, he can devote his attention to external affairs. What other Calamity Immortal has such a luxury, to not be aware of the change in the lower realm? Isn’t that expected?”
“…”
On the Immortal Slaying Stage, the Law Enforcement Spirit Official loudly proclaimed, retelling the details of the case, prompting ongoing heated discussion among the onlookers below.
Once the criminal’s charges were declared, the Spirit Official did not say much else, simply lifted a command arrow and coldly threw it out.
“Execute!!!”
With the arrow hitting the ground, the guillotine swiftly fell, and with a splat, blood splattered across the White Jade Platform, causing onlookers to shudder in horror.
A Mahayana True Immortal, someone who could be a master of a palace even in the Heavenly Court, lay slain by the guillotine; his body severed, and with his Primordial Spirit also destroyed, even the cycle of reincarnation was out of reach for him.
“This Immortal Slaying Stage…!”
Even though it was not their first time witnessing an execution, the crowd was still profoundly shaken by the scene.
This was, after all, a Mahayana True Immortal, a figure who could lead a palace in the Heavenly Court!
Such a figure, his blood spilling on the high platform, made into an appalling example, how could it not shock them?
The cultivators felt a chill in their hearts, their unease yet to fade, when they saw a Golden Armor Divine General escorting another prisoner to the stage, astonishingly a monk with a halo over his head.
This monk was robust and huge, resembling a demon, with an utterly fearsome face. His whole body shone a dark golden color, twisting demonic Qi intermingled with Buddha’s light, pressed by two Mahayana Cultivation Golden Armor Divine Generals onto the stage, held at the guillotine yet still defiant, even shouting challenges and defiance.
“The Immortal Slaying Stage?”
“Hahaha!”
“A mere Superior Immortal Implement, dares to be called the Immortal-Slaying Stage?”
“I, the monk, have achieved the Vajra Invulnerable Body. With this broken sickle, you think you can take this monk’s life? It’s like a fool dreaming. Where is Li Liuxian? Let him use the Nine Rituals Heavenly Sword to take my head!”
Although the divine general forcefully brought him to the stage, the Demon Monk was still defiant, laughing wildly, showing no fear.
“This…”
Everyone’s pupils constricted, their faces even more terrified.
At that moment, they saw on the Immortal-Slaying Stage, the Law Enforcement Spirit Official loudly proclaimed.
“Xingchi, originally a cultivator of Buddhism, Venerable of the Calamity Realm, yet turned to the Demon Path, aiding the tiger in its violence. Two hundred years ago in the Lower Realm, he rebelled, slaughtered beings in an entire realm, crafted demonic artifacts, and even used them to ambush the Academy’s Celestial Patrol Warship. Captured by the Taoist Master himself, his crimes are unforgivable. Today, on the Immortal-Slaying Stage, his sentence shall be carried out in broad daylight.”
The Enforcement Spirit Officer, holding the scroll of charges, read out the criminal’s accusations.
“This…”
“Kill the rogue monk, Xingchi!”
“A Venerable of the Tribulation Realm!”
“It’s actually this person?”
Although many had already guessed, upon confirmation, they were still shockingly startled.
“A rebel of Buddhism, the rogue monk, Xingchi!”
“Both a Buddha and a demon, a powerful being of the Five Stages of the Calamity Realm!”
“Has actually been captured alive on the Immortal-Slaying Stage…”
“That Honored Wandao…”
Watching the Demon Monk on the stage, the people murmured amongst themselves, unable to hide the tremors in their hearts.
Since three thousand years ago, when the Wandao School was established in South Observance, the situation in the Earth Immortal Realm had undergone intense changes.
Originally, the Earth Immortal Realm was a tripartite balance amongst the Four States.
The Human Clan’s Three Teaching Sect occupied the states of East Victorious and West Bovine, establishing the Tao Lineage of the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect.
The Demon Race occupied Beiju and areas beyond the Four States in the Monster Realm, forming the Monster Nation Abyss.
In such a manner, the three clans stood in opposition to each other, maintaining a semblance of balance. Although the Heavenly Court’s Buddhist Sect was strong, the Monster Nation Abyss was not weak. Each vying for supremacy in battles and warfare, with victories and defeats for all, and the underlying potential preventing any side from achieving complete victory or suffering total defeat.
But three thousand years ago, this situation, this balance, was broken.
With the establishment of the Academy, claiming South Observance, the Human Clan not only gained a leader as powerful as a True Immortal, the Honored Wandao, but also saw a significant increase in overall strength due to the implementation of Heavenly Mechanics Methods and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor. Many Mahayana cultivators, equipped with Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, possessed combat power comparable to that of Calamity Immortals, unrestricted by the limitations Calamity Immortals faced, allowing them to act freely.
This alone was enough to upset the balance!
Not to mention the Wandao School’s insatiable ambition; after establishing themselves in South Observance, they allied with the Eastern Victory Heavenly Court, allowing the court to gain an extra “Six Imperial Majesties,” and reaching a deal on cooperation in Heavenly Mechanics Methods and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.
With the Eastern Victory Heavenly Court’s profound potentiality, they built numerous mechas and deployed them in the demons’ battlefield, drastically changing the state of the war. The Demon Race was forced into a retreat, requiring the Demon God Demon Venerate to intervene personally just to stabilize the frontlines.
But the purpose of this war was to force the Calamity beings into action, to push them into a disadvantageous position in the soon to open Heavenly Secret Realm. With the Demon Race cornered to this extent, one could say they had already been defeated by the Heavenly Court.
Just as it was with the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist Sect similarly reached an agreement with the Wandao School on Heavenly Mechanics Methods and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, allowing them to obtain mech combat capabilities and strengthen their suppression of the Demon Race.
Under these circumstances, how could the Monster Nation Abyss tolerate this?
Two thousand years ago, a Nine-Tribulations Demon God spectacularly emerged, personally leading an army to attack South Observance, only to be repelled by the Nine Instruments Formation wielded by the Honored Wandao. The Heavenly Court and Buddhist Sect opportunistically intervened, and although they failed to capture the Nine-Tribulations Demon God, they decimated the demon forces, causing heavy losses.
Seeing this, the Demon Race had no choice but to abandon the idea of a strong assault on South Observance and instead sought to acquire Heavenly Mechanics Methods and Immortal Spirit Mech Armor.
Conveniently, the Wandao School reached an agreement with the Eastern Victory Heavenly Court to supervise the Ascension Platforms and patrol the Ten Thousand Realms.
Thus, the Demon Race set up ambushes outside the realms, repeatedly attacking Academy Monks to capture their souls and obtain the secrets of Heavenly Mechanics Methods.
But the Wandao School was prepared, often turning the tables and counterattacking the Demon Race; the Honored Wandao even personally took action, slaying several Demon Gods and Demon Venerates.
As of today, this clash has not only failed to subside, but it has also grown more intense, with the Demon Race at an even greater disadvantage and their desire for Heavenly Mechanics Methods increasingly strong.
This led to the current situation with the Twilight Realm and the incident with this Demon Buddha rogue monk.
There’s no need to elaborate on the Twilight Realm; they captured just a Great Vehicle Evil Cultivator, without any sight of the Calamity Demon Gods.
But this Demon Buddha rogue monk…
A formidable Five Calamity Demon God, captured and brought here!
Needless to say, this is surely the work of that Honored Wandao.
