Chapter 45: Maybe help from the immortal world
Chapter 45: Maybe help from the immortal world
Right in the middle of the ten immortal dragon cities, lies a very fertile mountain.
Faintly, there was an immortal aura emanating from the mountain.
Moreover, the mountain was also filled with many mighty auras so the pressure around the mountain was several times heavier. Mortals who haven't cultivated can't walk there. Even iron body cultivators had to lower their heads because the pressure there made it difficult for them to raise their heads.
On top of that mountain was the headquarters of the Immortal Dragon Academy, it was the academy established by the Immortal Dragon King to pass down his techniques to generations after his generation.
Of course, not just anyone could enter the academy, people needed to prove that their talent was above the rest.
Luo Tian and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Lei gave him a suggestion to stay there as it was one of the best places in that world, so he decided to go there.
At this moment, there were many people who came to the mountain, each of them looking extraordinary with a mighty elder leading them. From the clothes and mounts they wore, it was clear that they had a high status.
Apparently many were worried about the massive invasion of the blood demons, therefore, many clans had moved their bases to the area around the mountain for the safety of their clans.
It might still be a while before they could attack, but they could still use other tricks like controlling beasts in human territory.
They just needed to order their minions to implant the beast-controlling red cores in the beasts' bodies.
Just a moment after Luo Tian and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, a rather thin man with curly hair suddenly came up to them.
He looked at them one by one but when he saw Luo Tian, he was a bit confused on how to react. He might wonder where he came from.
His appearance was indeed on another level. In fact, it took everyone who saw him a long time to take their eyes off him. Even though he didn't emit any spiritual aura, only his natural aura suppressed all the youths there.
"Hmmm." The curly haired man cleared his throat to calm his heart. He then looked at Zhou Lei and the others.
"Elder Gu told you to come to his residence, please follow me," he said.
Zhou Lei nodded.
He looked at Luo Tian with a waiting expression.
The latter said nothing and took a step towards the mountain.
His actions confused the man.
He then whispered to Zhou Lei to ask, "Who is he?"
Zhou Lei did not answer, he slightly moved his head to the side as if telling him not to ask.
They started climbing the mountain. It wasn't really that big, but it was full of gardens and plants that exuded an aura of life, one would feel comfortable just by breathing in the air around them.
Luo Tian also saw a lot of disciples, all of them wearing dragon coats.
Some of them had already reached the golden body realm, on par with Zhou Lei who was already at middle age.
The three younger generations of the Zhou clan were only considered average among them.
Seeing the proud expressions on their faces as if they were special beings, Luo Tian couldn't help but think of the geniuses in the nirvana realm. There, the number of geniuses was too great that no one dared to act as if they were the best of the best.
Immortal emperors who were ranked in the top ten of the heaven's path might seem extraordinary to the immortal realms, but to the people of the heavenly realms, they were only the younger generation who took a very long time to reach their level, that too if they don't die.
At least every ten thousand years, there would be new geniuses occupying the top ten positions. But ten thousand years of time was like a blink of an eye to experts who had lived millions of years.
Luo Tian and the others soon arrived at one of the courtyards at the top of the mountain. It was somewhat isolated from the rest of the courtyard, and there were strange plants in the courtyard. If we look closely, we will find disgusting worms in the plants. From the residence in the center of the courtyard, emanated a pungent odor that made everyone's noses twitch.
Luo Tian couldn't help but change his expression because of the smell.
'I thought it was just his surname Gu, it turns out he's a Gu master.'
As the name suggests, Gu masters were people who specialized in poison. Their strength was not strong, but their poison was something that many people hated the most.
In some places, this path is considered the path of devil, heresy that must be eradicated. It was also because many of them used evil means to increase their strength.
Luo Tian had never interacted with them, but now he also felt that he did not like them.
"Oh, you guys have come," a hoarse voice echoed from within the residence.
Immediately after that an old man who was so thin that his bones were clearly visible came out from within the residence.
His skin was green, some strange plants were growing on his body.
His eyes were a bit big so it gave off a terrifying impression.
His appearance can definitely make the children stop crying.
Luo Tian glanced at Zhou Lei with a disgruntled look. The elder that Zhou Lei said was actually this dirty old man.
The old man or Elder Gu quickly arrived in front of them. Even though what he wanted to meet were those four Zhou people, the first person he looked at was still Luo Tian.
As he looked at his face, his eyes rolled, he leaned forward slightly while patting his thighs.
He then looked at Zhou Lei. "I thought you didn't bring me any gifts, but you did bring me a gem."
He stopped and looked at Luo Tian again. He looked his body up and down before continuing, "look at his skin, I'm sure my worms will be very happy when they eat him."
"...."
Zhou Lei's face froze while Luo Tian's eyes became so cold that the old man was taken aback.
Zhou Lei recovered faster, he quickly spoke. "Wait, wait, Elder Gu, he's not what you think he is."
Elder Gu had a close relationship with their ancestor. He also often helps their clan.
He had originally thought of helping her build a relationship with Luo Tian.
Unfortunately, before he could explain, Luo Tian had already spoken.
"Little bastard, what did you just say?" he asked him.
With his age, he could indeed call everyone in that world a little bastard, but the old man clearly didn't think so.
He was a little hesitant at first after hearing Zhou Lei speak frantically, but Luo Tian's words made him tremble with anger.
"Son, what do you call me?" he asked.
Zhou Lei, "..."
The atmosphere quickly heated up, a hint of aura radiated from Elder Gu's body. Even though the latter was a Gu master who was weak in battle, his cultivation was already at the peak of the spiritual king realm. In the mortal world, he was a great figure who could shake a landmass.
Luo Tian no longer responded, he looked at Black Flame and said, "burn both legs."
"Yes, master," said Black Flame.
He then grabbed the old man's legs, the latter was unable to react and his legs were already caught by Black Flame.
No fire came out of his hand, but a burning sound could be heard from the old man's feet.
Before he could even react, both of his legs had been completely reduced to ashes.
His big eyes immediately widened, he looked down and rubbed his eyes many times but his legs were still not there anymore, the only thing left was his third leg which had become so small it was barely visible anymore.
Luo Tian didn't care about him anymore.
He looked at the three younger generations of the Zhou family and said, "Follow me!"
After that, he stepped into a spacious courtyard not far from Elder Gu's courtyard.
It was in such a strategic location that it was visible even from the foot of the mountain.
There, there was a garden filled with plants that were very precious to the mortal world.
There was a formation covering the courtyard, even a spiritual emperor might not be able to break through that formation.
But with Black Flame's gaze, the formation instantly shattered like glass. He then waved his hand over there, soon after that an extremely majestic palace appeared in the middle of the garden.
Even though it appeared in the middle of the garden, it didn't damage the garden at all. Instead, the garden expanded so that an empty area appeared in the middle.
But of course, it was visible from all around the mountain so people were surprised by the palace's sudden appearance.
Luo Tian didn't plan on doing anything else, he would use the remaining time to guide the three young people.
Even though he was only a mortal, he possessed many cultivation techniques and knowledge.
....
Far below the mountain, there was a not-so-big crypt.
The crypt wasn't dark, it was filled with white light, and the light came from the broken spear stuck in the middle of the crypt.
There were three old men meditating around the spear. They didn't breathe like the dead, nor did they emit any aura, but they seemed to resonate with nature around them.
The three of them opened their eyes simultaneously, they showed surprised expressions before looking at each other.
"Do you feel it?"
"Yes, for a moment, I felt a very, very great power on the mountain."
"That power makes me feel as if I am just a grain of sand in the vast ocean. If father is like a star in the sky, it is like the sky itself, vast and boundless."
"What really happened?"
"Quick, we have to go there. It definitely didn't emerge from nothing, it probably came from an incomparable existence."
"Perhaps father managed to find help in the immortal world."
"...."
....
Note:
Well, this chapter seems a bit bad, I wasn't feeling well while writing this chapter. The arc in this mortal world isn't very long either, so there's no big plot here. But I'm pretty sure, this novel becomes very epic after Luo Tian breaks the chains. By the way, you guys can already give golden tickets to this novel.
