Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 600 - 438 What Are You Using to Compete Against Me?

The cold wind whistled outside the window, and heavy snow pressed down on the branches. In the vast sea of clouds, mountains towered tens of thousands of feet high. On the horizon, the Eagle Immortal Palace floated majestically, like a graceful and martial Golden-Winged Roc.

At that moment, Hong Yuan had finally arrived in the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land after a long absence.

Eagle Immortal Blessed Land... Hong Yuan remained silent.

With a thought, he stepped into the Eagle Immortal Palace.

The Eagle Immortal Blessed Land held tremendous significance for the Rainbow Fire Peak lineage. This was because it was not only Master Lin Daoyan's Dragon Rising Land but also the source of a profound regret that his fellow disciples had harbored for a very long time. If Hong Yuan had not taken action, Master Lin Daoyan might have gone to his grave unable to reconcile the loss of the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land. Fortunately, the Rainbow Fire Peak lineage had Hong Yuan, who had emerged to turn the tide!

When Hong Yuan easily defeated Liu Mantang, became the holder of Phoenix Creek Tutelage, and recaptured the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land, all the Sect's regrets were remedied by him alone. It could be said that within the Rainbow Fire Peak lineage, Hong Yuan thoroughly deserved the title of the sect's reviver!

However, to Hong Yuan, the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land was merely so-so, not of great value. Because even his least impressive blessed land was a special-grade Blessed Land of his Power Tao Incarnation. The mere Eagle Immortal Blessed Land could hardly catch his eye. Not to mention that the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land was a public Blessed Land of the Phoenix Creek Sect, with very poor confidentiality, which was why Hong Yuan rarely used its channels.

"Master, you have finally returned!"

A soft and tender voice rang out. The speaker was the Earth Spirit of the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land, a little creature Hong Yuan called Little Eagle Immortal!

Little Eagle Immortal appeared as a seven or eight-year-old girl, wearing a princess crown, with a sweet face, dressed in a pink robe, with white feathers on her back, and her skin was tender and smooth. She was the very image of an adorable little girl!

At that moment, seeing Hong Yuan's return, Little Eagle Immortal's eyes crinkled with a wide smile, her face filled with excitement.

"Hehe, Master, do you need me to do anything?" Little Eagle Immortal hopped and skipped, eagerly following Hong Yuan, her small hand lightly gripping the corner of his dark Taoist robe. She was afraid, afraid that Hong Yuan would still ignore her!

Although Earth Spirits are typically manifestations of a Saint's lingering obsessions and somewhat like programmed, mechanical beings, in the Martial World, a transcendent realm, all things can potentially gain sentience. Indeed, Earth Spirits that have existed for a long time can develop Spiritual Wisdom comparable to that of ordinary people. It was quite normal for Little Eagle Immortal to develop some emotions!

In the past, Little Eagle Immortal had followed different holders of the Phoenix Creek Tutelage, serving them. But she had never encountered someone as unusual as Hong Yuan. Hong Yuan hardly ever cultivated in the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land! This made Little Eagle Immortal doubt herself, wondering where she had failed to meet Hong Yuan's expectations. She even became so distressed at one point that she hid in the dark and cried alone.

"Little Eagle Immortal, fetch a Green Grapes Immortal Nuance from the stores in the blessed land," Hong Yuan instructed softly, sitting on the ice-snow throne.

With a flash of white light, a Communicating Sky Bug resembling a white cat appeared in his palm. The Communicating Sky Bug was a pathway to Treasured Yellow Heaven. However, activating the Communicating Sky Bug required a Demon Saint or a Martial Saint to infuse an Immortal Nuance into it, channeling their energy. Ostensibly, Hong Yuan was still a mortal Martial Artist and thus could neither possess nor produce Immortal Nuance. That was why the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land's role became particularly important. It could help Hong Yuan connect with Treasured Yellow Heaven!

"Yes, Master," Little Eagle Immortal responded, her eyelashes fluttering, her voice crisp. Her snow-white wings vibrated, lifting her off the ground as her form slowly floated into the air.

Little Eagle Immortal waved her small hand.

The next moment, a ball of green light materialized in front of Hong Yuan and then slowly drifted towards the Communicating Sky Bug.

SQUEAK! SQUEAK! The Communicating Sky Bug, having been fed the Immortal Nuance, immediately made joyful sounds. Gradually, it began to float, lifting off Hong Yuan's large hand. In the process, its body expanded to the size of a Tibetan mastiff. It resembled a plump, large white cat, looking somewhat adorably foolish.

Instantly, the simple Eagle Immortal Palace filled with brilliant yellow light, and Hong Yuan's features became hazy. Following a certain channel, Hong Yuan's consciousness ascended to Treasured Yellow Heaven. Hong Yuan needed to access Treasured Yellow Heaven through the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land because Phoenix Creek Great Saint had important matters to discuss with him!

「 」

Treasured Yellow Heaven.

A place where outstanding people communed with the spirited land, where the mountains were clear and the waters splendid. Those who came and went here were, without exception, heroes among humans and the dragons and phoenixes among demons.

As soon as Hong Yuan's will appeared, the voice of Phoenix Creek Great Saint immediately sounded beside him.

"Yuan, you're doing well," Phoenix Creek Great Saint said, looking at Hong Yuan with satisfaction. He praised him softly and gestured for Hong Yuan to sit in the stone pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, a gentle breeze blew, causing ripples across the lake. Inside, Hong Yuan and Phoenix Creek Great Saint sat opposite each other, conversing. Their conversation primarily involved Phoenix Creek Great Saint offering encouragement, with Hong Yuan nodding to indicate he understood and would be careful.

Midway through their conversation, Phoenix Creek Great Saint suddenly lowered his voice, "Always prioritize your own well-being. When necessary, it's alright to retreat a little."

As he spoke, Phoenix Creek Great Saint auctioned an Information Tao paper sparrow to Hong Yuan, which Hong Yuan quickly accepted.

「 」

Within the Eagle Immortal Blessed Land.

An Information Tao paper sparrow materialized before Hong Yuan via the Communicating Sky Bug's channel. Hong Yuan reached out, his large hand grasping it firmly. A stream of blue True Essence flowed from his Aperture, along his right arm, completely enveloping the Information Tao paper sparrow. In a mere instant, Hong Yuan had successfully refined the paper sparrow and understood the intelligence within.

[Yuan, you must understand that our Phoenix Creek Sect is Phoenix Creek Sect, and Mythical Sound Pavilion is Mythical Sound Pavilion.]

[You must absolutely not, for Shang Yaoqin's sake, recklessly involve yourself in the deadly battles among the nine Great Dream Seeds...]

[The Daxuan Dynasty bears deep enmity towards our Phoenix Creek Sect. I foresee that Tang Tianlong, the Great Dream Seed of the Daxuan Dynasty, will surely target you to test his blade upon emerging from seclusion.]

[You must be exceedingly careful. If necessary, you can send Shang Yaoqin out to confront Tang Tianlong...]

[The unification of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent is inevitable, but this process will not take too long—three to five years at most.]

[The Sect's legacy will still need your strong support. If you truly face an insurmountable enemy, don't be obstinate—prioritize your survival...]

[Yuan, keep up the good work. I have high hopes for you as the next 'Phoenix Creek Great Saint.' Perhaps you will be able to see the fantastic vistas that I have never witnessed.]

[...]

This flood of information left Hong Yuan's head spinning. However, with his superior information processing abilities, Hong Yuan quickly grasped what Phoenix Creek Great Saint was conveying.

The distinction between internal and external considerations, and the expectation that I inherit the mantle of Phoenix Creek Great Saint...

Hong Yuan felt somewhat conflicted about Phoenix Creek Great Saint's arrangements. His Sword Body held an irreconcilable, life-and-death grudge against Phoenix Creek Great Saint. Yet, his Original Body shared a bond of Tao Heritage with Phoenix Creek Great Saint.

Just imagine, he thought, if I, Hong Yuan, were to become the Phoenix Creek Great Saint, the power and resources I could command would be astronomical!

WHOOSH—

While Hong Yuan was lost in thought, the Communicating Sky Bug spat out another item. It was a Divine Power Jade Simple, radiating a cold, white divine brilliance!

Upon briefly refining it, Hong Yuan learned what this Divine Power Jade Simple was. It was named the "Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill." This was the supreme Divine Power cultivated by generations of Phoenix Creek Great Saints—a legendary Quasi-Emperor Technique!

HISS.

Hong Yuan's pupils dilated in surprise.

Each generation of Phoenix Creek Great Saint cultivated a different Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill. For example, the current Phoenix Creek Great Saint, Fu Yanjiang, possessed one of the Ten Extreme Bodies: the Northern Ming Ice Soul Body. Fu Yanjiang's Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill embodied the profundities of the Ice Tao and Soul Tao, leaning more towards destructive capabilities.

Truthfully, even a Quasi-Emperor Technique like the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill wasn't extraordinary to Hong Yuan, as he already possessed Great Emperor Level Taoism Shen Tong. However, Hong Yuan could not openly display such power in the current battle for Destiny. Its origins would raise too many questions!

But now, with the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill, he had a legitimate reason to display even greater strength!!

"Sigh."

It seems I have no choice but to become this old ancestor of the Phoenix Creek Sect, whether I like it or not.

But then again, isn't this also a blessing in disguise?

Bo Qing among the demonic, Hong Yuan among the righteous, Xuan Guangqiao among the monsters...

With my personas among humans, monsters, the righteous, and the demonic, what can any of you possibly use to fight me?

HEEHEEHEE!!!

Having reached this understanding in his mind, Hong Yuan let out a long-absent, elated cackle. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Nearby, the sweet, delicate Little Eagle Immortal heard this laughter and shuddered violently, nearly losing her balance in mid-air and tumbling down. She lowered her head, staring at Hong Yuan's boots with a mixture of fear and awe.

Master, he hasn't gone mad, has he?
