The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 9 The Past (2)

“Yes, I can’t believe my eyes! Not only did he come, but also displayed his life-bonded magic treasure—Virtual Sacred Tree, killing the four Yishui Clan disciples rushing in front. He ignored his position as the next head of the clan, not caring about himself being trapped and guarded directly in front of me!

“I advised him to go because I knew that under the Mysterious Devil Seal, plus the negative impact for using Silence, I was like a candle flickering in the wind, and can die at any time. But he just didn’t leave, and blocked one attack after another. However, the power of just one person was limited, and the two great masters of the Yishui Clan and Blood Divine Sect were also ready to shoot. At the time of life and death, Zhang Mengdao suddenly realized the ultimate Law of Space—Space Shattering! He used the tearing force of the space and took me through numerous spaces incessantly, and we fled to the Devil Forbidden Ground—the Devil Source Sea. At the same time, we also successfully got rid of the pursuit of soldiers from all over.

“At that time, under the suppression of the Mysterious Devil Seal, the refining of the immortal devil body had already dropped to the second tier of the Devil Reshaping Technique, and the soul was extremely unstable. Sooner or later, the Devil Soul would collapse and die. I was tired and wanted to give up. However, he refused; he said that he had not really defeated me! He wanted to save me, and let me restore my peak strength, and then, there would be another battle of life and death!”

“We came to a space crack in the Devil Source Sea. It’s only then, I realized that he also had a Second Primordial Spirit, and it was also in the Late-stage of Void Return. He just never thought of taking it out when competing with me. He said, he wanted to win by using his original body, and only that was considered a win!

“In the crack, he communicated with the spirit of the Silence Sword and finally decided to let the Second Primordial Spirit to master Silence, to destroy the Mysterious Devil Seal in my sea of consciousness. At the same time, he took out a few magic treasures of ultimate grade filled with True Devil Qi to help me resist the pain of breaking the seal. After three years of experience, when his Second Primordial Spirit was about to die and vanish, my Mysterious Devil Seal was completely broken. However, at that time, I was unable to maintain the devil body, and even the soul was no longer complete.

“He took out his own secret treasure that was prepared to refine the Second Primordial Spirit—Soul Fixation Pearl and did not hesitate to take in the last remaining three remnant souls of mine. At the same time, he continued to use his precious devil treasures to provide me with Devil Qi. At that point, the annihilation of my Devil Soul was avoided.

“After that, he was like crazy, constantly traversing different interfaces to find ways to restore my soul. At the same time, he was constantly improving his own strength.

“He fulfilled his reputation of being a genius in exist. In merely six hundred years, he had reached the peak of the Almighty Immortal. He said that since he was unable to find a way in the three realms to conceive and restore my Devil Soul, then he would go to Heaven Realm to try his luck!”

“Although the process of overcoming the heaven calamity was a brush with the death, he succeeded. At that moment, he was happy like a child. Later, when he arrived in Heaven Realm, he obtained a small piece of Soul Cultivation Tree by chance. Soul Cultivation Tree, according to legends, is one of the three immortal trees born in Chaos World. It acts as a treasured wood that can heal and restore the souls. At least in the lower realm, it is the secret treasure of the top sects and families, which was why he has been looking for it yet unsuccessful.

“With the Soul Cultivation Tree, I no longer needed the devil treasure to nourish my soul, and, soon, I was able to condense my face. But he was not satisfied, he said, he would search for the powerful figures, so as to find more pieces of Soul Cultivation Tree, to let me restore my soul to the original state. At the same time, to get a nature-reversed method that allows me to reshape my body.

“His determination had finally paid off. One day after he stayed in the Heaven Realm for more than 500 years, he finally found the whereabouts of the Soul Cultivation Tree in the lower realm and the way to reshape my real body. He said that he was going to the Sunset Kingdom in the Ghost Realm. There was a way to reshape my real body.

“Of course, the first thing he had to do is to go to the lower realm and find me a lot of Soul Cultivation Tree. Soon after, he cultivated to the heavenly lord stage, and the self-styled himself as ‘Dreamless’. Even in the Heaven Realm, Dreamless Heavenly Lord was extremely famous. There were several Powered figures from Heaven Realm wanted to help with his marriage, but he refused. “I asked him why, and he only said that he did not have any mood for romance before defeating me.

“Before the going to lower realm, he used the space secrets learned from a senior who was proficient in the Law of Space, combined with his own life-bonded magic treasure, the Virtual Sacred Tree, to create a heaven abode and named it the Virtual Land. He set up a series of laws of heaven and earth, and intentionally infused a place with the source of Devil Qi for me so that I could enjoy the endless True Devil Qi in the realm. He said I would live here later, at this place where his future inheritance would be.

“After everything was ready, he took me to the lower realm. During that year, the powerful figures who created the Heaven Realm had established the heaven laws when setting up the Realm-sealing Formation. Where the powerful figures, if entering the lower realm, the rank strength would be suppressed to the same level as the Early-stage of Fairly Immortal.

“After Mengdao entered the lower realm, he placed the Virtual Land in a space crack and then left temporarily. I knew that he was going to seek for the Soul Cultivation Tree, and it would never be as easy as he said, and he knew it for sure. He took away the Virtual Sacred Tree, which was the magic treasure that he would use when he was about to kill.

“Half a year later, he came back, and the number of Soul Cultivation Tree brought back made me stunned! Fully, he gave me three wooden chairs made of Soul Cultivation Tree. The small piece of Soul Cultivation Tree found previously was no longer in use. He said, keep it in your hands, and in case there came a day where the soul shatters and disappears, you can leave a soul remnant in it, maybe you will be resuscitated if you have a chance.

“He also said that these Soul Cultivation Trees were given to him forcingly by some sects in the lower realm after knowing that he was a powerful figure from the Heaven Realm. I didn’t believe that, although I have a broken soul and low Divine Sense, I could feel that he must be hurt. Just, he didn’t say it.

“After a hundred years, he made every effort to perfect the Virtual Land. Finally, it was also time for him to go to the Ghost Realm. Before leaving, he left the Virtual Sacred Tree as the foundation of the Virtual Land and collected all kinds of high graded magic treasure to be kept in the Rare Treasure Hall. He said that he had to leave some real things for his disciples, or he would have no face if he was despised by his disciples.”

“He left, just like he used to go out. However, it had been nearly 10,000 years, and I wondered where he was now?”

The eyes of Feiwu have been blurred, lights flashed and glistened her eyes, and her thoughts drifted away to somewhere far and unknown...

......

Back in the memories, on the summit of Mount Zhiling, a man in cyan frowned his eyebrows, held his sword and stood by, near him, a glamorous woman in black was in high spirit.

“Hey, Witch! You are just winning me by chance, relying on your many doppelgangers!”

“Do not talk nonsense, give me the devil treasure! Oh, you have already lost five of them to me, and your heart must hurt shockingly?”

“Wait till I promote to the Fairly Immortal stage, I, Zhang Mengdao, must kill you under my sword !”

“Look at you! Your lifespan is shorter than mine, body weaker than mine, what do you depend on to kill me? Relying on your Taoism Name—Demon Slayer? And, there were thousands and millions of Devil Clan all over the world. Why do you keep harassing me?”

“You, you, witch! Who is harassing you! I, Demon Slayer who has killed thousands and millions of devils, but I have lost to you, the only one, so who else to kill except you?!”

...

Once recalled, in the Devil Demolish Formation, the face of the man in cyan was chilly and ferocious, after he turned his back, the woman in black was shivering slightly with her eyes glistening with emotions.

“Are you crazy! How can you help me, this witch, to kill your peers!”

“Peers? I, Zhang Mengdao, do not have such hypocrite peers from the same clan! How ridiculous! I have been cultivating since I was young, determined to kill all the demons and devils in the world and to defend righteousness. I never thought that the real devil was not in the race, but in the heart! Hey! From today onwards, there was no more Demon Slayer in the world!”

“You, are you stupid?! You are the next heir of the Yishui Clan! I have already lost seven spirits out of the three souls and was struck with the Mysterious Devil Seal, I have come to a dead end! You better go now! For me, worth it?”

“Hey, I am here not for you! Didn’t you see that few merciless and disowned bastards were trying to kill me too! I am fighting for self-defense!”

...

Memories flashed past, on the Devil Source Sea, the man in cyan frowned, mysterious waves changing in his eyes. In the Soul Fixation Pearl, a vague shadow of a remnant of the black robe loomed.

“Why are you doing this? I have only three remnant souls left, without nourishment of Devil Qi, I could only last for another few hours. Why do you want to use the Soul Fixation Pearl to condense the Second Primordial Spirit for me?”

“There is no way for you to vanish so easily! I haven’t beaten you personally, and that can’t just be over! Devil Qi isn’t it? I have tens of millions of devil treasures, and from now on, all will be used to raise you!”

“Erm? Isn’t that your precious treasures? How can it be used to do this kind of thing? Once you start to raise a Devil Soul, the devil magic treasure will be abolished once the Devil Qi was used up!”

“Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, my interest has changed.”

“Ah? You were heart-wrenching when you lost to me half a year ago! Hey, why are you crying?”

“Hey! I, Zhang Mengdao, a strong and muscular man, how can I cry! It is clear that the wind blows the sand into my eyes and blurred it!”

“You are almost Fairly Immortal, and you will be affected by sands? Some more, how do the sands come from the sea... Hey? What are you doing! I haven’t finished it yet! Why do you put me away!”

...

Back in the memories, in the abode in Heaven Realm, the man in cyan seemed to show vicissitudes of life, but the sharpness in the eyes was better than the past. In the Soul Cultivation Tree, the black robe face was condensed, eyes full of gratification.

“Ha ha ha! Feiwu! Today is a great harvest! Not only did I find out where the Soul Cultivation Tree were in the lower realms, but also find a way to restore your body!”

“Hey, why don’t you call me a witch anymore? Also, didn’t I already have Soul Cultivation Tree? Why do I still need it?”

“Erm, I feel that I can be promoted to Heavenly Lord soon. When I succeed, I will have Dreamless as my Taoism Title. In the future, I will be Dreamless Heavenly Lord! How is that, great right! Such little amount of Soul Cultivation Tree can only nourish your face, but it can’t let you condense your body, of course, I have to find it again!”

“Actually, I am satisfied already! Don’t try to fight for those foreign things already, alright?”

“That’s impossible! If body shape is not condensed, how to restore your body! If your body not restored, how can I defeat you!”

“By then you were already a Heavenly Lord, even if I cultivated for a million years after restoring my body, I wouldn’t be able to defeat you. Why are you still obsessed?”

“Then I will wait for you for a million years! Millions of years! Wait for you to restore your body, and become an External Heavenly Devil, we shall fight again!”

...

Memories flashed. Inside the Cenotaph, the man in cyan forced to calm himself down and healed sneakily. On the chair of soul cultivation, the black robe remnant shadow sat in three sides, welling up in tears.

“Small tree! You say, that so many Soul Cultivation Tree were not snatched by him desperately, right! Is he injured?”

“Ya, ya, it’s master beat...”

“Hey, why did you keep him away before he finished?”

“Virtual was tired, he hid it back himself! These Soul Cultivation Trees were given to me as they asked me to receive! My Xuanyuan Swordsmanship is invincible, who can defeat me!”

“Why do I feel that you are running Xuanyuan Mantra to heal?”

“That, you don’t understand! I am not giving up the time of cultivation! This is called hard work!”

...

Once recalled, under the Virtual Tree, the man in cyan stood with his back facing the black robe shadow, tears rolling down the cheek, and in the Devil Qi, the black robe shadow was full of eyes and looking far.

“I finally passed on my skills, and then I shall see which kid can have the fate to become my disciple.”

“That’s just passing down your skills! Why are you acting so old-fashioned, with the ‘thy’, ‘thee’, you sound like an old ancestor.”

“Chey! That, you don’t understand! It is called the majesty! Understand? This will help me to build my tall, mighty and mysterious glorious image in my future disciple’s heart! Oh, yes, your little medicine furnace, which by all means, refused to enter the Rare Treasure Hall. I have given him the north to be used as Elixir-refining Room and all the Spirit Grass that I have collected over these years will be given to him. If you need any medicines, just find him directly, I have helped him to gather the true spirit already.”

“Isn’t it better to stay in person to find a disciple? My soul has been mostly condensed, and I don’t want to be extravagant to ask for a devil body.”

“How many times have I said already! My purpose is to wait for you to recover to the optimum so that I can defeat you! I am also a Heavenly Lord who lived for a million years, and my only defeat was by you, how can I accept this result!”

“Then leave as usual, why do you even blocked my Divine Sense, and only dared to pass your voice to me, you don’t want to even throw me a glance?”

...

“You, why don’t you talk! Talk! Little tree! What is he doing?”

“Erm, erm, the master he, he had already left...”

In fact, I knew, I knew that you dare not look at me, you were afraid, only one glance, you could no longer leave.

Now, thousands of years had passed, and you, where were you?
