Immortal of the Nine Realms-Chapter 1553: Cant Help It

The Immortal gazed at the strange phenomenon above the Void Immortal Sword Sect. He calmly asked, "Do you think he might have clues about Wang Chongsong's whereabouts?"

The Corrosive Dragon King thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Hard to say. But we could capture him and interrogate him. If he has also been implanted with the Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo, we might be able to find out what Wang Chongsong is really up to. That way, we could also put him on trial."

"Trial? That's completely unnecessary," the immortal scoffed coldly. "The fact that Wang Chongsong is a traitor has already been confirmed. Many years ago, he came here bearing the hopes of countless people from our homeland, holding the one and only key, yet he never used it. How many years has it been now? This place should have long since become our territory. But look at it, still the Nine Mortal Realms. The memories of our kin cannot awaken, and they will always treat us as outsiders!"

Hidden in the shadows, Fang Chen wore an expression of understanding. So that was it, Wang Chongsong had already been exposed...

The Corrosive Dragon King let out a soft sigh. "Then we can only proceed slowly..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"There isn't much time left. Our homeland is on the verge of falling. We are its final hope," the immortal said flatly. "Once no more clansmen reincarnate into this world, and those already here cannot awaken their memories, we will be no different from an extinct race."

The Corrosive Dragon King gritted his teeth. "But the key is in Wang Chongsong's hands. If he refuses to hand it over, there's nothing we can do. It's all because of those Yang Gods. If not for their obstruction, this place would have long become our second homeland."

"Fortunately, there is a prodigy like the Saint Son." The Immortal Venerable chuckled softly. "The Saint Son created a technique that does not require the key in Wang Chongsong's possession, yet can still awaken the memories of our kin. After countless years of refinement and adjustment, this technique has matured. This time, we will conduct our first experiment here."

The Corrosive Dragon King was startled. "What kind of technique is it? One that can rival the key in Wang Chongsong's hands?"

"Tuxiong Star is not large. To perform this technique, it will probably require the sacrifice of five fifth-transformation immortals," said the immortal, smiling. "They're already on their way. Once they arrive, we'll see just how powerful this technique truly is."

The Corrosive Dragon King was extremely curious. "Senior, what kind of technique is it?"

The Immortal Venerable smiled. "You've experienced it before."

"I've experienced it before?"

The Corrosive Dragon King pondered for a moment. His expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice. "A demonic calamity?"

The Immortal Venerable merely smiled without answering.

A demonic calamity? The Demon Ancestor?

Fang Chen's eyes flickered. The Saint Son the Immortal Venerable mentioned, could it be the Demon Ancestor? And the technique they were referring to... is it a large-scale demonic calamity?

Fang Chen's expression grew grave. They've already mastered a method of awakening past-life memories through demonic calamities?

If that were true, then the Nine Mortal Realms would soon face another era of chaos.

Even if he could stop a large-scale demonic calamity from erupting on Tuxiong Star today, what about the other places? In the end, his power would not be enough.

This information is critical. I need to inform Old Wang as soon as possible. I don't know where Master Yun He and the others are. Perhaps they have a solution.

Fang Chen suppressed the rising killing intent in his heart, planning to send these two on a brief trip to the Underworld once Wang Zhenlong finished advancing to a first-transformation Sword Immortal.

The Corrosive Dragon King and the other Immortal no longer seemed to value Wang Chongsong much. Despite knowing that the one advancing was Wang Chongsong's adoptive father, they had no intention of interfering.

Fang Chen understood their thoughts.

If their experiment succeeded, then whether mortals or cultivators on Tuxiong Star, all would awaken their memories. By then, Wang Zhenlong, a first-transformation immortal, would also become one of their own.

***

As the days passed, Wang Zhenlong's aura grew more and more complete.

Cultivators from the Central Continent, Celestial Heaven, and Northern Dipper all maintained a certain distance from the Void Immortal Sword Sect to avoid any misunderstandings.

"The Ancestor... should be about to succeed!"

The sword cultivators of the Void Immortal Sword Sect looked at the aura surging like a blazing sun, anticipation shining in their eyes.

Back when the old sword immortal was alive, he had never been able to touch the level of a First Rate Sect Leader. Despite that, with a sword in hand, he could stand toe-to-toe against one!

If Ancestor Wang Zhenlong succeeded in his breakthrough, the Void Immortal Sword Sect's strength would undergo a world-shaking transformation!

"The path of sword cultivation is a heretical one, focused solely on killing, not longevity. How could it be worthy of reaching that level?"

"Are the First Rate Sect Leaders of the Central Continent really going to sit by and allow such a reckless brute to stand alongside them?"

"The example of Li Changsheng of the Kunlun Sword Sect is still vivid! Have you all forgotten already?"

Voices of awakening echoed in everyone's ears. The sound seemed to pierce directly into the soul, instantly clearing the mind.

The two First Rate Sect Leaders from Celestial Heaven and the one from Northern Dipper were all startled and began looking around.

Even the three of them had not detected where this speaker was, meaning the other party's cultivation was far above theirs!

"Someone really intends to stop Wang Zhenlong from advancing!"

Ouyang Xuanzhen and the others were startled as well, their gazes sweeping the surroundings as they tried to find the speaker.

Inside the Void Immortal Sword Sect, the peak masters were all alarmed, but soon relaxed. Led by Li Wuwang, the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Division appeared one after another, yin qi swirling about them.

"Shhhhh! Let's see which great figure this is," said Li Wuwang, his lips curling.

At the same time, that voice continued to speak, spouting arguments aimed at persuading the First Rate Sect Leaders present to join forces.

"You've talked for so long, why not show yourself? If you want us to join forces, is it because you fear that person from the Central Continent's Desolate Academy?" said the expert from Northern Dipper.

That's a second First Rate Sect Leader!

The crowd was astonished.

This meant that aside from the Immortal Worshipping Sect's First Rate Sect Leader, at least two more had arrived.

"If it weren't Wang Zhenlong advancing, who else would warrant such a grand scene?" Ouyang Xuanzhen muttered to himself.

Gong Tianxin remained calm, though a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He knew Northern Dipper's First Rate Sect Leader, but he truly hadn't sensed where the one speaking was.

Hm, likely a second-transformation immortal. It seems that aside from Xun Guozhu, Tuxiong Star has another second-transformation immortal.

Gong Tianxin silently noted this.

The immortal beside the Corrosive Dragon King suddenly revealed a faint smile and glanced toward a certain spot in the void.

Fang Chen was also looking in that direction.

In that patch of void stood an old man with white hair and beard. His immortal essence was extremely robust, clearly a second-transformation immortal.

After hearing the words of the Northern Dipper's expert, he suddenly smiled, stepped out of the void, and appeared before everyone.

Countless gazes fell upon him.

Both First Rate Sect Leaders from Celestial Heaven looked confused. They had never seen this person before and had no idea of his background.

"Do not be afraid, you three," said the white-haired old man, stroking his beard. "You may not have seen this old sack of bones before, but I've actually seen all three of you long ago. Today, I come for two reasons. First, to stop a heretical path from advancing. Second, to ask you all, if this old one intends to rule the world and integrate the Central Continent, Celestial Heaven, and Northern Dipper into one, would you be willing to lend me a hand?"
