Chapter 191: Slaying Blue Blood! The Qin Royal Manor of the Four Directions Immortal Kingdom (Part 1
Chapter 191: Slaying Blue Blood! The Qin Royal Manor of the Four Directions Immortal Kingdom (Part 1)
"Hmm?"
The two of them headed towards one of the portals, causing the others to frown in confusion.
"How can they hold back from cursing?"
"Is it because of that beastly Yuanyang Immortal Monarch?"
"Are they even human?"
"I don't think they are. They probably have no human emotions left. Could it be that they cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness?"
Wen Ren Rici and Fire Ghost were taken aback, suspecting that these people were not human after being painfully killed.
The Yuanyang Immortal Monarch was too despicable and shameless, even worse than a beast, so it was no surprise that he was not considered 'human'. But for these people to endure his treatment without cursing him was truly baffling.
They were not human either!
Just as they were perplexed, they noticed that Shun Gonggong and his two companions had also stepped out from the crowd, each choosing a portal and entering it.
"They didn't curse either?!"
The Ke siblings were bewildered. "In that situation, shouldn't everyone be cursing? How did they manage to hold back?"
"Even with the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch, a beast among beasts, they can still hold back from cursing???"
"They lack experience."
Fire Ghost scoffed, "What are they? Eunuchs!"
"Even if they are just eunuchs from a small Immortal Kingdom, they are still eunuchs!"
"Eunuchs, having lost their emotions, naturally cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness. They are like machines that only know how to follow orders, unlike us cultivators who act as we please, seeking satisfaction."
"For such people, even if you have a grudge spanning nine generations, they won't kill you out of anger or hatred. They'll do it because they think it's the right thing to do."
"In their hearts, there's only cold calculation."
"Why are you laughing?"
Ke Deping retorted, "You seem to know a lot about eunuchs. Have you ever been one?"
"Moreover, if they can enter, why are you happy that you can't?"
Fire Ghost: "???"
Damn it!
Fire Ghost's third eye twitched, and his brain felt like it was about to explode.
Those words were too hurtful.
And it wasn't just hurtful; it was also particularly wounding.
"Hmph."
"It's just a matter of luck that they have an advantage in this trial. But do you think they'll make it out alive?!"
As Fire Ghost coldly snorted, he also contemplated whether he could find a way to enter. After all, the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch might have been extremely powerful in the past, but who knew how many years had passed since his demise. With his eighth-stage cultivation, if he just barged in...
It might just be possible.
But he couldn't be sure, as it was too risky.
He then began to ponder how the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch determined whether someone had cursed him.
It couldn't be that the Immortal Monarch was still alive and constantly monitoring their thoughts, could it?
So, he knew that someone had cursed him?
"No, that's not it. It's normal for someone to curse him. If no one did, that would be strange. With a tiny bit of self-awareness, he could guess."
"And the reason he can confirm that I cursed him is probably because there's a special formation within these portals..."
"If so, then it must be that in a moment of unpreparedness, he extracted and read my memories..."
"Memories..."
"Since it's about memories, then..."
Huff!
Fire Ghost took a deep breath.
He still wasn't ready to give up.
Although it was still a bit risky, this was a chance to seize the treasures of an Immortal Monarch. How could he not take the risk?
Fortune favors the bold! With this thought, Fire Ghost immediately pinched his fingers into a seal and then... cut himself!
He severed the memories of cursing the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch!
Like a majestic lion, he strode into one of the portals that no one had entered yet.
Ke Deping and Wen Ren Rici raised their eyebrows.
They immediately retreated to a safer distance.
After all, Fire Ghost was an eighth-stage cultivator, and if he encountered danger, he would surely fight back. Being too close might result in unnecessary harm.
But...
They were puzzled as to why Fire Ghost dared to enter.
"That old ghost has a fiery temper. He must have cursed, and quite harshly at that. Why is he taking the risk?"
"I don't believe he didn't curse that beastly Immortal Monarch!"
"Perhaps he thinks he's strong enough and wants to force his way in?"
"That's a possibility."
Their eyes flickered with uncertainty, and they continued to observe carefully.
But soon, they were left bewildered.
Fire Ghost's figure disappeared, and the portal lit up, but there was no reaction or movement within. Not even a trace of a battle could be seen.
"What?"
"This can't be!"
"How could that old ghost not have cursed the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch? Even if we were wrong, and he didn't, he wouldn't have waited this long. With his temperament, he would've been the first to react."
"Could it be that the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch is deceiving us, and there's no real danger?!"
Some nodded, agreeing with this possibility.
After all, the Yuanyang Immortal Monarch was notoriously cunning, and with the previous experience, the so-called danger might not be real.
But others questioned, "But didn't that powerful cultivator just get forced into the portal, only to hear his pitiful screams before going silent?"
"No one actually saw it; we only heard the screams." Ke Deping scoffed, "Perhaps it was a ruse, a deliberate act to mislead us!"
"Using screams and feigning death to confuse and buy time, ensuring he had enough time to act..."
"This explains why Fire Ghost entered and wasn't immediately attacked or killed!"
"That..."
"It's possible."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
"..."
Silence.
An eerie silence ensued.
Speaking of which, it does seem reasonable, but... who's going in?
I, for one, am not going in.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned eerie again.
And then...
Naturally, another round of laughter erupted.
Yuan Yang Immortal King, you're truly despicable!!! We've been played by you so many times that we're all suffering from nervous exhaustion, and we dare not continue gambling.
You're inhuman!
"Pfft."
Wang Teng burst out laughing.
He and Chi Lian did not enter.
Firstly, he had just cursed viciously in his mind.
In his opinion, he didn't need the Yuan Yang Immortal King's inheritance at all. In his eyes, what's so great about the Yuan Yang Immortal King? What's the difference between him and that guy from Ancient Chaos?
There's none!
They're exactly the same!
Moreover, if he were to obtain the Yuan Yang Immortal King's inheritance and fall into the same trap, who knows what kind of pitfall he might encounter.
As for the treasures...
It would be great to obtain them, but it's not a big deal if it's not obtained.
He has the greatest Master in the entire world, and various invincible techniques are at his fingertips. As long as he... ahem... sticks close to his Master, what need is there for inheritance or treasures?
In the future, when he has mastered all the invincible techniques, he himself will be the inheritance and the treasure!
After I take a few more steps forward and turn the Artificial Sun Fist into my basic attack, as Master said, I'll fear no treasure. With a single strike, I'll turn them all into molten iron, just like that feather duster!
Why should I fear you?
So, there's no need for him to take the risk.
Secondly, Qin Yu had previously sent a telepathic message, telling him not to enter.
When it comes to his Junior Brother, he naturally trusts him.
Chi Lian feels the same way.
Therefore, neither of them has any intention of entering.
It's good not to go in...
They can observe the others' movements from the outside, and at the same time, they can alleviate some pressure for Qin Yu inside. For example, at this moment, they can confuse the others' senses, making them hesitant to enter.
"Everyone," Wang Teng said, a smirk forming on his lips. "What are you afraid of?"
"In my opinion, it's probably fake. After all, Yuan Yang Immortal King has always been playing tricks on us, hasn't he? Don't you remember the entrance just now? It seemed dangerous, but in reality, it was a path to rebirth from the brink of death!"
"And isn't it the same now?"
"It's exactly the same!"
"Moreover, Yuan Yang Immortal King is, after all, a dignified Immortal King. How could he be so petty-minded? Just because you curse him in your hearts, does that mean he'll seek revenge? No way!"
"Furthermore, we're all cultivators, and we understand the heavens but find it difficult to go against them. Our cultivation path is already against the heavens, so when are we not in danger, and when are we not risking our lives?"
"If you're not willing to take this little risk, what's the point of cultivating immortality?"
"Fortune lies in danger, my friends!"
"If you don't go in and take action now, you'll truly miss the opportunity. This is the inheritance of an Immortal King, and there might even be an Immortal King's artifact! If you obtain it, you'll become a holy land, and you might not even need to consider the others in the future!"
"What are you still hesitating about?"
"Opportunities come and go, and they may never return. Seize the moment, everyone!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Ren Rici and the others were stunned.
They were all deeply tempted.
Indeed, Wang Teng wasn't exaggerating, and his words were as true as the principles of the Dao.
The Yuan Yang Immortal King, that notorious trickster, loved to play with everyone, always crying wolf. This time... it's highly likely to be the same.
Having come this far and with such an opportunity, it would be a pity to give up now.
Perhaps...
They were tempted.
Just as someone was about to take action, Ke Deping let out a cold laugh. "Well said."
"You go first."
Everyone's scalp went numb, and they immediately calmed down.
Wait a minute!
Damn, we almost fell for this kid's trick.
Why don't you go in if you're so confident?
In Ke Deping's eyes, Wang Teng's level of cunning was no less than that of the Yuan Yang Immortal King!
The Yuan Yang Immortal King was openly deceitful, but this kid was sly and sneaky. Following his advice would be seeking death.
They might not even know how they died.
Although Ke Deping couldn't see through Wang Teng's plan, he was certain that this little scoundrel had noticed something and was trying to trick everyone into a deadly trap!
Moreover, the person he most wanted to get rid of was probably Ke Deping himself.
After all, Wang Teng had indirectly harmed his second brother, and they were sworn enemies. Wang Teng would never give up the chance to get rid of him.
Everything became crystal clear.
This little thief was trying to trick him, and he must not fall for it!
By not falling for it, Ke Deping was clearly showing that he wasn't going to walk into a trap.
Wen Ren Rici, Feng Yuming, and the others were also scared, their eyes wide with fear, and they dared not enter.
Seeing this, Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, why won't you go in?"
"I've told you there's no danger, but you refuse to believe me."
"What? You ask why I'm not going in? Why should I take such a risk when I have invincible techniques, and not just one?"
"I have the best Master in the world. Do you?"
"You don't!"
"You have nothing, yet you're still unwilling to take a chance and face a little risk."
"It's no wonder you've been cultivating for so many years and still have no significant achievements."
"Even an Eighth Realm cultivator was defeated by us, two Sixth Realm cultivators, and his physical body was shattered."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Amidst the taunts and ridicule, Wang Teng's face was filled with disappointment.
This only reinforced the others' belief that their judgment was correct—this kid was trying to trick them. Those portals must be dangerous, and having cursed the Yuan Yang Immortal King, they must not enter!
If the Blue Blood Daoist were here, he would have surely lost his temper and started cursing.
Damn it! Why don't you just call out my name directly?
If I weren't in a weakened state right now, I'd show you!
But...
That Artificial Sun Fist technique is too ruthless.
The Blue Blood Daoist was also startled, and without a certain level of assurance, he might not dare to make a move...
...
The true core area was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.
But it was yet another small garden.
Within the garden, there was another pavilion.
Floating within the pavilion were three golden small swords.
"Immortal Artifact!"
With just a glance, they were certain that they were Immortal Artifacts, also known as Imperial Armaments!
"It's mine!"
The Fire Ghost roared and charged towards the pavilion.
Shun Gonggong and the other two exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and then acted simultaneously.
They formed a special formation, and within the formation, their emotions were stripped away, even the Fire Ghost's surging battle intent was instantly weakened, leaving him dazed.
His speed decreased sharply.
"The Path of Emotionlessness combined with those bald donkey's techniques?"
The Blue Blood Daoist frowned. His speed wasn't as fast as the Fire Ghost's, but because of this, he wasn't immediately enveloped by the formation, giving him time to catch his breath. However, he didn't have a good solution either.
"Since I can't solve the problem, I'll solve the one who raised it!"
However, as an experienced old-timer, the Blue Blood Daoist quickly realized what was going on and attacked the three eunuchs from outside the formation.
Unfortunately, his attacks were ineffective, like a stone sinking into the sea, causing little disturbance.
"How could this be?"
The Blue Blood Daoist's expression changed.
Although he wasn't in his prime state and his strength was much weaker, he was still at the 7.95th Realm, and dealing with a few eunuchs should have been easy and effortless. But the result...
"Not right!"
Suddenly, he realized, "You're not a Seventh Realm eunuch, you're hiding your cultivation!"
Shun Gonggong turned around, still expressionless. Having cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness, he had long discarded his emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
"Indeed."
Shun Gonggong nodded and no longer hid his cultivation.
The cultivation of the Eighth Realm erupted at this moment, even surpassing the Fire Ghost!
"You?!"
The Blue Blood Daoist's expression changed dramatically, "You've hidden it so well!"
"After serving the royal family of the small Immortal Kingdom for thousands of years in the depths of the palace, you've already reached such a level of cultivation?!"
He felt that something was seriously wrong.
In Shun Gonggong's current state, even if he were in his prime, he wouldn't be able to gain the slightest advantage.
However, if his physical body were still intact...
Damn it!!!
His hatred for Wang Teng and Qin Yu intensified.
If his physical body were still intact, and he had sacrificed the Demonic Deity to summon its shadow, he might have had a chance to fight. But now...
"Ah!"
The Fire Ghost roared! He sensed the problem.
Although affected by the formation, he was still an Eighth Realm Great Power and had his own trump card.
Amidst his roars, he summoned a sea of flames, but instead of burning others, he burned himself!
In the midst of the pain, he briefly broke free from the restraints and continued forward, closely following Shun Gonggong.
"Stop them."
Shun Gonggong frowned.
Behind him, the two eunuchs also erupted, both at the Ninth Level of the Seventh Realm. The Blue Blood Daoist clenched his teeth in frustration.
"So, the ones who hid the deepest were you two!"
"A small Immortal Kingdom sending you out, they must have sent their best. You're quite bold!"
He cursed and mocked them.
However, he also knew that in his current state, with these two eunuchs blocking him, he had no chance with the Immortal Artifacts.
What a pity...
It was truly a pity at this moment.
Shun Gonggong was the first to grab a golden sword.
He originally wanted to use his divine perception or essence energy to have the other two swords fly towards him, but he couldn't do it.
It seemed that the Yuanyang Immortal King intentionally left an opportunity for others.
At that moment, the Fire Ghost, who had burned himself half to death, also successfully obtained a sword.
Just as they were about to fight for the third sword, a figure quietly appeared and grabbed it.
"Such incredible speed!"
Both of them frowned.
The newcomer was Qin Yu!
His speed far exceeded their imagination, and the teardrop-shaped pendant on his chest glowed, warding off the formation's invasion, leaving him unaffected.
At this moment, the three of them looked at each other, wary of each other, but none of them made the first move.
Logically, Qin Yu, a Sixth Realm cultivator, had no right to compete with them.
But Qin Yu's speed was astonishing, and the moment he grabbed the sword, they had already become wary of each other.
Because, upon touching the sword, they received a message.
These three golden swords were the Yuanyang Immortal King's tokens! They were also the keys to the Yuanyang Realm!
This Immortal Mansion was just one of the Yuanyang Immortal King's early palaces, and there weren't many good things here. The real treasures were in the Yuanyang Realm.
And the Yuanyang Realm was in the Upper Realm!
Additionally, within these small swords, there were three strands of sword energy! All of them were personally slashed and sealed by the Yuanyang Immortal King.
He was quite skilled in sword techniques, and even with restraint, these sword energies could effortlessly cut through the Eighth Realm.
In other words...
At this moment, even if Qin Yu was ordinary, he had the qualifications to kill them! For Qin Yu, this was a valuable opportunity.
"What a pity."
They all secretly lamented the missed opportunity.
They had thought these were three Immortal Swords, but they could only be considered half-step Imperial Armaments, and they were more like 'keys'.
Unless all three golden swords were obtained and combined, they could become true Imperial Armaments. But no one was willing to give up.
At the same time, they all had mutual reservations.
A fight was definitely not going to happen.
Each of them held a sword, and it ended there. If they had the chance to ascend to the Upper Realm in the future, they could visit the Yuanyang Realm.
Of course, there was another possibility: in the future, they could exchange the other two small swords for a high enough price.
Perhaps one day I'll be strong enough to disregard all threats and snatch it for myself, otherwise... it seems there's no other possibility, right?
The three of them exchanged glances, each wary of the others, maintaining a distance from one another, but none of them spoke up.
