Translator: Atlas Studios , Editor: Atlas Studios
In the sky of the Eastern Wanggu.
Outside the barrier formed by the peerless array formation constructed by the human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, the Demon Feather Holy Land floated with a majestic aura.
From afar, its shape was like a disc and its range was vast, comparable to a region.
On its eastern and western sides stood awe-inspiring sculptures.
They were like two wings!
They angled upwards, as if about to take flight.
“That’s the Great Emperors’ Dao altars in the Demon Feather Holy Land!” Xu Qing and Erniu were speeding forward. At that moment, the latter looked at the shocking huge winged statue in the distance and spoke in a low voice.
“By comparing Feng Lintao’s and Yue Dong’s memories, I’m now very clear about the structure of this Demon Feather Holy Land.”
“Little Qing, the Demon Feather Holy Land is divided into east and west.”
“Both sides have a Great Emperor Dao altar. That’s the spiritual pillar of their race!”
“But now, the Dao altar of the Great Emperor Nether Flame in the East has dimmed…”
Erniu’s voice echoed. As Xu Qing listened, he looked at the Dao altar in the distance.
Although they were very far away, because the Dao altar was vast, they could still see it from here.
What he saw was indeed as Eldest Senior Brother had said. This wing-shaped Dao altar was becoming ordinary.
It had lost its light and was dim.
“Just like the eastern forces of the Demon Feather Holy Land, it’s bleak.” Erniu narrowed his eyes and looked to the west as he continued to speak. “However, in the west of the holy land, the Dao altar of the Great Emperor who rose after inheriting the title ‘Demon Feather’ is dazzling and radiant, its brilliance capable of illuminating the entire holy land.”
“It’s also because of this that the current Demon Feather Holy Land is led by the west.”
“The western forces of the Demon Feather are domineering and prosperous, while the eastern forces are weak.”
Erniu retracted his gaze and looked at Xu Qing.
“However, it’s beneficial to our major event this time. The weaker the eastern forces are, the better.”
Xu Qing nodded.
Erniu continued to speak.
“Of course, Little Qing, you still need to know about the various forces of the east.”
In the east of this holy land, there are three ancient families. These three families have existed since the holy land was first established and have continued until now.”
“The Lan family is one of them.”
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He didn’t know much about the structure and information of the holy land. According to his and Erniu’s usual practice, Erniu was primarily responsible for handling such matters.
As for Erniu, he was very familiar with it. In the past month, he had gathered a lot of information.
“Other than the three great families, there are also nine Ruler Mountains in the east and the corresponding forces formed with these nine Ruler Mountains as the center.”
“Ruler Mountain?” Xu Qing looked at Erniu. The word ‘Ruler’ made him pay special attention.
Erniu nodded.
“Mountains with Rulers are naturally the Ruler Mountains. Among these nine Ruler Mountains, six of them are disciples of the Great Emperor Nether Flame.” “Only by breaking through and reaching the Ruler realm can one have the qualifications to establish their own Ruler Mountain.”
Xu Qing thought about it and raised his question.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I remember that Lu Lingzi called himself the tenth disciple of the Great Emperor Nether Flame. However, that Great Emperor only has six disciples who have achieved their Ruler Mountain.”
Erniu smiled and explained.
“This point is also in Yue Dong’s memories. Lu Lingzi had three senior brothers who perished long ago. As for the Ruler Mountain, only living Rulers can establish it.”
After death, the mountain will no longer exist.”
Xu Qing nodded and no longer had any doubts.
Seeing that Xu Qing had no more questions, Erniu took a deep breath and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
“Little Qing, other than the three ancient families and the nine Ruler Mountains, there is a transcendent organization among the eastern forces of the Demon Feather Holy Land. We’re actually unfamiliar with this organization; it’s called the Immortal Arts Hall.”
“This hall inherited the immortal arts from the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era and nurtured cultivators who could use immortal arts in the holy land. Such cultivators are known as Immortal Masters by the holy lands.” “Yue Dong’s master was the previous generation’s Great Immortal Master who controlled the Immortal Arts Hall. However, many years ago, with the inheritance and Yue Dong mastering the Six Thieves Delusions, this Great Immortal Master passed away.”
“The Immortal Arts Hall of the Eastern Demon Feather also gradually grew weaker in influence because of the dimness of the Great Emperor Nether Flame.”
“Originally, according to Yue Dong’s plan, if she successfully fused with Feng Lintao’s inheritance authority and transformed her immortal art, then after she returned, she would have the qualifications to become a Great Immortal Master. She would then lead the rise of the Immortal Arts Hall.”
“If that happened, her status would be completely different from before.”
Erniu sighed with emotion and looked regretful.
“Yue Dong has already done so much for us. I naturally have the responsibility and obligation to help her fulfill her dream.”
“Therefore… becoming a Great Immortal Master and controlling the Immortal Arts Hall is my next step.”
Erniu patted his chest and let out a muffled sound.
Regarding Eldest Senior Brother’s regrets and heroic aspirations, Xu Qing didn’t care. At that moment, his gaze landed on the Western Demon Feather.
“Senior Brother, how’s the Western Demon Feather’s influence?”
When Erniu heard this, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
“The Western Demon Feather has a Great Emperor and is supported by five ancient families. There are twenty one Ruler Mountains there and many sects…”
“There’s an Immortal Arts Hall there as well. The main immortal art passed down in that hall is called the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal!”
At this point, Erniu paused.
Xu Qing started. The name of this immortal art was really a little strange.
Soon, a dark glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly spoke.
“Six Thieves Delusions, Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal… It seems that the two Immortal Arts Halls in the Demon Feather Holy Land inherit complementary techniques that are part of a unified art.”
Erniu nodded.
According to Yue Dong’s memories, the two Immortal Arts Halls of the Demon Feather Holy Land actually inherited a supreme killing immortal art that could be ranked in the top three among countless immortal arts during the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era!”
“This immortal art has a long name, known as the Art of Three Poisons, Four Snakes, Five Dogs, Six Thieves, Seven Kills, Eight Sins, and Ten Thousand Evils!”
“The Demon Feather Holy Land only mastered two arts among them. As for the origin of this art, it is said that all living beings suffer endlessly throughout their lifetimes across the three realms, unable to find liberation. This suffering is caused by the arrows of the Three Poisons, the bites of the Four Snakes, the thefts of the Five Dogs, the terror of the Six Thieves, the demise of the Seven Kills, the entanglements of the Eight Sins, and the congregation of Ten Thousand Evils.”
“The Three Poisons are stupidity, attachment, and desire.”
“Deluding the heart, known as stupidity. Taking the self as object, forsaking detachment, and clinging to delusions of memory, known as attachment. Greed for sensual pleasure is known as desire. When these three afflictions arise, they are called ordinary beings.”
“The Four Snakes are ulceration, indignation, jealousy, and envy.”
“Not valuing others’ goodness is ulceration. Suppressing anger is indignation. Fear of others’ superiority is jealousy. Feeling threatened by others’ beauty is envy.”
“The Five Dogs are miserliness, greed, delusion, evil, and precipice.” “Refusing to part with possessions is miserliness. Insatiable desire is greed. Creating false standards is delusion. Winning arguments through deceit is evil. Refusing to accept the truth and obstinately rejecting the three paths to liberation is the precipice.”
“As for the Seven Kills and Eight Sins, Yue Dong doesn’t fully understand them. In her memory, she focused on the Western Demon Feather’s Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal.”
“Simply put, this immortal art states… When the miserly dog enters, one loses treasures; when the greedy dog enters, one is bound; when the deluded dog enters, one falls into the cycle of life and death; when the evil dog enters, one falls into hell; when the precipice dog enters, one forever loses human form.”
Erniu’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Xu Qing.
I his art sounds extraordinarily unique. If we can somehow obtain the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal from the Western Demon Feather and devise a plan to acquire several other immortal arts from other holy lands in the future… after combining them, whoever opposes us, we can just use a set of immortal arts!”
“Our opponents will definitely feel incredibly comfortable!”
A look of anticipation appeared in Erniu’s eyes.
After Xu Qing heard this, his interest also rose. From Eldest Senior Brother’s expression, he knew that the latter should be even more interested in the complete immortal art.
Just as he was about to speak, his expression immediately turned sluggish and his eyes were listless.
Erniu, his expression instantly turned cold. He stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look into the distance, frowning.
In the distant sky, whistling sounds surged over. At first, they were still weak but very soon, they were like beating drums. The rumbling sounds continued and they even stirred up a storm that moved like an avalanche.
This storm was blood-red.
In the storm was a figure in a blood-red robe. His cultivation base of six worlds Soul Accumulation Realm spread violently. His hair was also red and now that they were fluttering in the wind, coupled with the stench of blood, this cultivator who arrived looked like a fiend.
The instant he got close, he shouted.
“Yue Dong, die!”
As his words rumbled and exploded like thunder, the storm headed straight for
Erniu and Xu Qing.
Erniu raised his brows but didn’t dodge. Instead, he lifted his hand and took out the wordless concealment seal.
Xu Qing’s listless eyes revealed a hint of light.
Although he didn’t know the identity of the person who came, this person’s cultivation wasn’t bad. Moreover, he dared to attack Yue Dong here. Clearly, he had a certain status.
In that case, he would probably be suitable.
At the next instant, the storm rumbled over. Under the intense killing intent of the red-robed youth, blood mist churned and instantly enveloped Xu Qing and Erniu. ~ °
Lightning swam within, and rumbling sounds echoed.
The sky changed color.
A while later, the churning of the blood mist became even more intense. A blood-red figure wanted to rush out, but in the blink of an eye, two heavenly vines rapidly approached, instantly entangling it and pulling it fiercely.
The blood figure wanted to struggle but it was useless. It wanted to shout but a graceful figure stuck behind it and pressed a hand over its mouth.
In the end, the figure could only be pulled into the depths of the blood mist again by the two vines.
After that, the fluctuations of the Six Thieves Delusions Immortal Art spread out in all directions.
It was getting more and more intense.
However, at this moment, fluctuations came from the distant sky. A luxurious war chariot shuttled through the void and directly appeared here.
At the front and back of the war chariot, a large number of cultivators stood guard. They still had the bloodthirsty aura from the battlefield.
From the chariot, a figure quickly rushed out and headed straight for the mist ahead.
It was Yue Dong’s pursuer, the luxuriously-dressed youth.
His eyes were filled with anxiety as he shouted.
“Xue Chenzi, if you dare to hurt Miss Dong’er in the slightest, I’ll make sure to kill you!”
“All cultivators, heed my command! Xue Chenzi has gone mad and intends to
harm me. Seal off the area and eliminate Xue Chenzi!”
The surrounding cultivators all erupted with killing intent and rushed toward the blood mist.
At the same time, the luxuriously-dressed youth had already arrived at the edge of the blood mist and spoke rapidly.
