Chapter 291: The Senior's Identity
Chapter 291: The Senior's Identity
Inside the Soul Suppressing Tower.
Life-Stealer opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, and his gaze was filled with shock and suspicion.
"How could his aura be severed?"
Life-Stealer began to cast spells and perform divinations. He didn't consider the possibility that White Crane True Man had already died, as he was well aware of his disciple's cultivation level. In his realm, White Crane True Man could single-handedly suppress three divine and bizarre ghost kings, demonstrating his terrifying strength. Even if he encountered a Transcendent Immortal, it wouldn't result in a silent death.
However, no matter how he divined, he could not determine where White Crane True Man was.
The cause and effect of White Crane True Man were continuously disappearing, indicating that he had likely perished, and his soul had dissipated. The cosmic rules were erasing all traces of his existence.
Life-Stealer's brows were tightly furrowed, and his heart was filled with anger and shock.
Did a Transcendent Immortal make a move?
To achieve such a degree, it certainly wouldn't be a low-realm Transcendent Immortal!
Life-Stealer first thought of the existence within the Holy Court. How could such a powerful being be hidden in this human realm?
According to Life-Stealer's knowledge, the strongest being in this human realm was merely a Heavenly Flying Immortal. The sects here barely touched the strength beyond the heavens.
The Divine and Bizarre World Lord had been enough to suppress this human realm for so many years. How could a Transcendent Immortal be hiding here?
Wait a moment.
Life-Stealer suddenly thought of the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
Although he didn't have a deep impression of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, he had some vague memories. The Seven Star Spirit Realm had always tried to curry favor with the Holy King he supported. However, the Holy King didn't think much of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, but some of his subordinates had benefited from the Seven Star Spirit Realm, making it, to some extent, an ally in his camp.
He remembered a fellow Daoist mentioning that the Seven Star Spirit Realm had once sought aid, but the Daoist didn't think it was worth his effort, so he assigned the Seven Star Spirit Realm a task. The Seven Star Spirit Realm helped the Divine and Bizarre World manifest, but was immediately dismantled. Because there were still remnants, his fellow Daoist didn't think much of it, assuming it was a local power struggle.
Now, thinking about it, could something be hidden in this human realm?
Could it be related to the reincarnated existence?
Life-Stealer's eyes flickered. He wasn't afraid; instead, he felt a bit of joy.
Massacring the mortals wasn't his primary goal; everything was to force out the reincarnated existence. Now that the signs were beginning to show, how could he not be happy?
He immediately took out an ancient bronze oil lamp and cast a spell on the wick.
"Let's call the old fellows together!"
...
The calamity triggered by White Crane True Man was vast and immeasurable. The continent where the TaiXuan Gate was located had escaped the disaster, and many sects speculated that it was the work of Dao Sword Venerable, causing his name to spread wildly across the continent again.
While the continent's inhabitants were excited and amazed, the ocean was a dead silence, with many islands and continents turning into seas of fire.
How could the ordinary cultivation sects withstand the divine abilities of White Crane True Man?
Even if the sects promptly formed arrays, they couldn't withstand the sky-high flames, which was one of the reasons Gu An decided to intervene.
This heavenly fire killed three-tenths of the living beings in this human realm, a staggering number.
After the calamity, on the seventh day.
Gu An came to the Immortal-Seeking Island alone. The atmosphere within the island was severe, and the number of passing cultivators had significantly decreased, with a tense mood hanging over the streets.
From the buildings, it was clear that the island hadn't been directly hit by the heavenly fire, but the nearby seas were filled with dead fish and dead monsters, indicating that the Immortal-Seeking Island was also within the range of the heavenly fire.
The divine abilities of a Heavenly Flying Immortal were enough to obliterate all life!
Gu An summoned Hu Xiaojian, who immediately relaxed upon seeing him.
"Senior, you finally made it!"
Hu Xiaojian's tone was a mix of relief and grievance. Seven days ago, he truly thought he would die on Immortal Seeker Island. Although he ultimately escaped the disaster, he lived each day in constant fear, dreading the next catastrophe.
Gu An teased, "So scared?"
Hu Xiaojian nodded, "How could I not be afraid? Did you see that massive fire? It was terrifying, blotting out the sky and the sun. I can't even imagine how powerful the person behind it must be."
He wanted to add that the person might be far stronger than a wandering immortal, but considering Gu An was a wandering immortal himself, he held back.
"Rest assured, evil can never triumph over good. The person behind this will surely face retribution," Gu An comforted him.
In truth, the one who caused this catastrophe, Real White Hong, was already dead.
The reason Gu An arrived late was to guard against a deadly immortal attacking the Great Profound Gate. The deadly immortal, however, did not show up. Given the deadly immortal's capabilities, he must have known about Real White Hong's demise and was likely plotting something.
Gu An suspected the deadly immortal was probably swaying, given the immense size of the Great Cold Demon Sect, with an incalculable number of cultivators.
After that, Gu An followed Hu Xiaojian around to understand the situation on Immortal Seeker Island.
According to Hu Xiaojian, after the catastrophe, the island's master clearly intended to abandon Immortal Seeker Island. He had already moved some of his assets and disciples to safety, leaving the Sea Protection Prefecture in a state of panic. Cultivators like Hu Xiaojian were uncertain about their future.
In the past, Immortal Seeker Island was their home and their greatest support. The Sea Protection Prefecture wouldn't take them in.
Gu An listened but did not comment. Instead, he asked Hu Xiaojian to take him to buy medicinal herbs, which only made Hu Xiaojian more anxious.
He feared this might be Gu An's last visit to Immortal Seeker Island.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Hu Xiaojian's courtyard. After Gu An sat down, Hu Xiaojian immediately poured him some wine. Gu An did not refuse, and his attitude made Hu Xiaojian feel a bit more at ease.
Once the wine was poured, Gu An said, "Rest assured, I genuinely want Immortal Seeker Island. I will send a traveling immortal to take over. When that happens, your position in the Sea Protection Prefecture will improve. You must also work hard in your cultivation to deserve a higher rank."
Traveling immortal?
Hu Xiaojian trembled, cautiously asking, "Senior, who exactly are you?"
Gu An, being only a wandering immortal, could summon a traveling immortal, indicating a powerful force backed him.
For Hu Xiaojian, this was a cause for celebration.
No matter how strong an individual, they couldn't stand against a vast force!
Gu An said, "Don't ask about my identity. Knowing too much won't benefit you. If the deadly immortal's attack can't be stopped, I will take you away. I have a place where you can live in peace. But for now, I want to take a gamble. What if a powerful cultivator emerges from the sea and eliminates the deadly immortal?"
Hu Xiaojian nodded vigorously. Regardless, his plan was to cling to Gu An's powerful support.
Of course, deep down, he believed the deadly immortal was unbeatable.
The celestial fire had left him with a profound fear that still lingered.
"Senior, what do you need me to do now?" Hu Xiaojian asked respectfully.
