Old Ao, Just Give In to My Big Brother!
Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised, wondering why Shan Ting had sneaked into the Immortal Palace at this time. However, he keenly sensed that the chaos on this Immortal Mountain was not yet completely over.
He remained calm, but the many Immortal Kings were already in a frenzy. After killing the Mountain Guardian, they immediately began to scramble for the Yin Yang Immortal Tree.
Great Immortal King joined forces to vie for the Yin Yang Immortal Tree, creating a chaotic scene.
"You are all esteemed Immortal King, so why are you scrambling for it like those lowly cultivators?"
One of the Immortal King, unable to snatch it, couldn't help but speak up, speaking with righteous indignation.
However, the Immortal King completely ignored this person, fighting amongst themselves for the Yin Yang Ancient Tree, digging up all its leaves, branches, and even the soil.
Even the Buddhist Immortal King, who had remained indifferent until now, rushed into the Yin Yang Immortal Tree.
"Master, didn't you say you wouldn't participate?"
Someone spoke up and looked at the Buddhist Immortal King. This Buddhist Immortal King had previously said that he would not participate and would just stay on the sidelines to help everyone pass on, but now he had come over to compete for the Immortal Tree, which inevitably caused discussion.
"Amitabha, it is not that this humble monk wants to fight for it, but that the few Immortal King who just died want to fight for it. Their obsession is hard to let go, and they insist that this humble monk take this item, otherwise their souls will not be at peace."
The Buddhist Immortal King spoke earnestly, his face filled with compassion, as if he were not vying for the Yin Yang Immortal Tree, but rather for the sake of these obsessed souls.
Upon hearing this, Immortal King fell silent.
Someone wanted to say something, but couldn't figure out what to say.
But at that moment, several Immortal King joined forces and uprooted the Yin Yang Immortal Tree. In an instant, Yin Yang Qi surged, and the entire Yin Yang Immortal Tree transformed into a terrifying Yin Yang Immortal Fire, which instantly burned the Immortal King.
Whether it was leaves or soil, everything related to the Yin Yang Immortal Tree transformed into clusters of Yin Yang Immortal Fire, burning on the bodies of the Immortal King.
"Oh no, this is fake."
"Damn it, we've been tricked."
"Help me, help me!"
"Save your ass! I can barely protect myself, don't come near me."
"Run! It's a fake tree! Everyone run!"
None of the Immortal King expected that this Yin Yang Immortal Tree would become so strange.
"Master, I can't take it anymore, please come and help me pass on to the afterlife."
An Immortal King, bathed in Yin Yang Immortal Fire, screamed incessantly, pleading with a Buddhist Immortal King to help him be saved.
However, this Buddhist immortal Immortal King himself had also been tainted by some Yin Yang True Fire and was running around in agony. Upon hearing this, his expression froze for a moment, and then he said with a dignified expression, "Amitabha, the My Buddha does not save those without affinity. This benefactor, you should slowly save yourself."
Who has the mind to pray for the soul of others at a time like this? Let's deal with our own troubles first.
The Yin Yang True Fire swept through the area, and all the cultivators were infected by it. Every cultivator was in excruciating pain, and basically ninety percent of the Immortal King were burned by the Yin Yang True Fire -Yin Yang True Fire.
Boom!
Bodhi Wisdom opens up the Buddhist Pure Land, resisting the Yin -Yin Yang True Fire. Guiding Bitter Sea, holding the Seven Treasures Mystical Tree, its Seven Colors divine light permeating the air, impervious to all evil. As for Wa Huang Chenxi and Wa Huang Ling Yun, they join forces to open an Ancient Divine Diagram, resisting the Yin Yang True Fire.
The remaining Immortal King who had not yet been consumed by the true fire also unleashed their full power of magic to resist the terrifying Yin Yang True Fire.
This flame is terrifying. The Yin Yang True Fire is a celestial fire used to refine imperial artifacts, let alone the Innate Yin Yang True Fire. Even a Celestial Emperor might frown upon it.
Lu Changsheng glanced at everyone present. There were a total of 108 people, including himself. Apart from him and Wa Huang Ling Yun, almost all of them were Immortal King level experts.
However, at least 90% of the Immortal King have been tainted by the Innate Yin Yang True Fire. Although they are Immortal King, they are unable to resist the burning of this true fire. If this continues, it is feared that in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, 90% of the Immortal King will die here.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng didn't say anything more.
Splash!
A holy spring appeared in Lu Changsheng's hand. This was the holy spring he had obtained from Heaven Abyss God Mountain. It possessed various divine effects. Although Lu Changsheng did not know whether the holy spring could extinguish the Yin Yang True Fire, he had no other choice at the moment.
Saving people wasn't out of Lu Changsheng's compassion, but because if all these Immortal King died, there would be no one left to use as tools. He couldn't possibly fight alone, could he?
Of course, there is still a little compassion, since the holy spring doesn't have much use at the moment.
Sizzle!
The sacred spring was indeed effective. When it landed on the Yin Yang True Fire, a hissing sound immediately rang out, and many Immortal Kings were saved, all of whom showed surprise among themselves.
"It was Fellow Daoist Changsheng who saved us."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Changsheng."
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you are so compassionate and merciful, I am extremely grateful."
After being rescued, the Immortal King all spoke up to express their gratitude to Lu Changsheng for saving them.
"Amitabha, thank you for saving this humble monk from dire straits. Please rest assured, benefactor Changsheng, when you need to perform a ritual for the deceased, this humble monk will perform the ritual and will surely repay this kindness."
Immortal King Kong Du spoke, explaining that he had been using Buddhist power to resist the Yin Yang True Fire. In fact, while all the other Immortal King were suffering, Immortal King Kong Du was the most relaxed, as he had Secret Method to resist the Yin Yang True Fire, but it was far less effective than the Holy Spring.
The Immortal King breathed a sigh of relief after being rescued. Some of Immortal King were too badly injured, so after thanking Lu Changsheng, they hurriedly left the immortal mountain.
Although the treasures are tempting, life is more precious. Even Immortal King don't want to die here in vain. They still have plenty of good days ahead of them, so there's no need to take risks here.
Some of the Immortal King left, about twenty people in total. The vast majority remained in place, meditating to recover their Celestial Power. They were still unwilling to give up and wanted to seize the opportunities here.
However, the goodwill of almost all the Immortal King towards Lu Changsheng has skyrocketed. Not to mention that Lu Changsheng was already likable, now that they are in such a crisis, all the God Race Tianjiao are looking after themselves, but Lu Changsheng is the only one who is willing to help them. How could they not be grateful?
So after some of the Immortal King had rested, they all came to Lu Changsheng's side, introducing themselves and expressing their gratitude, thus leaving an impression.
After a full half hour, the Immortal King had fully recovered and looked at the Yin Yang Immortal Palace with curiosity and doubt in their eyes.
"This place is so strange, how can we break this deadlock?"
"The Mountain Guardian has already been killed by our combined efforts, so why can't we break this deadlock?"
What is the mystery behind this?
The Immortal King spoke up, expressing their great curiosity about how to unravel the mysteries of Yin Yang Immortal Mountain.
"Yes, Yin Yang Immortal Mountain is so strange. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Changsheng's help, we would probably have died here long ago."
"Who would have thought that this Yin Yang Immortal Tree was actually fake and would transform into Yin Yang True Fire? If I had known, I wouldn't have been so reckless."
"As expected of the Supreme Immortal Mountain, it is indeed fraught with danger. Before, I thought that it was too easy to seize the treasure by simply killing the Mountain Guardian. Now I see that I was right."
The voices of the Immortal King rang out, their tones filled with helplessness and confusion, as they truly had no idea how to break the deadlock.
However, at that moment, the Yin Yang Immortal Palace trembled, and in an instant, another Yin Yang Person walked out of the palace. At the same time, the Yin Yang Immortal Tree, which had been uprooted, released a large amount of Yin-Yang energy and then returned to its original state without any change.
Everything seemed to have returned to what it was before. The Yin Yang Immortal Tree was still ancient and sacred, with wisps of Innate Yin Yang Qi emanating out like a waterfall, incredibly wondrous.
Boom!
The next moment, the Yin Yang Immortal Tree transformed into a Yin Yang Immortal Sword, returning to the hands of the Mountain Guardian.
As before, tens of thousands of Yin Yang Sword Qi were unleashed, without the slightest change.
This proves one point.
The solution is not to kill the Mountain Guardian.
If it's not this, then what is it?
Not only was Lu Changsheng in a bind, but all the Immortal King were also confused and had no idea how to break the deadlock.
But for now, everyone is still putting up a stubborn resistance.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Yin Yang Immortal Palace.
Shan Ting had already sneaked into the Immortal Palace. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he appeared inside the Immortal Palace quietly.
At this very moment, the celestial palace was filled with Yin Yang Qi, and the figure of the Qilin appeared in the center of the celestial palace, imprisoned.
"Old Ao!"
"Old Ao!"
Shan Ting voice rang out, and the celestial palace was very quiet. His voice was not loud, but it still broke the tranquility of the celestial palace.
Gu Aotian seemed to have fainted, but at Shan Ting's call, Gu Aotian groggily opened his eyes.
In an instant, Gu Aotian woke up. He looked at Shan Ting, and anger immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Don't be angry, Old Ao. I know I did some things wrong, but don't worry, I'm here to save you."
Before Gu Aotian get angry, Shan Ting voice rang out, trying to calm him down.
Upon hearing this, Gu Aotian finally suppressed his anger.
But this doesn't mean Gu Aotian wasn't angry; on the contrary, he was extremely angry, even furious.
Previously, he and Shan Ting had come to this Yin Yang Immortal Mountain. Shan Ting had been scouting the way. After arriving at the Yin Yang Immortal Palace, they used the divine beast's innate abilities to sneak into the palace without making a sound.
After sneaking into the celestial palace, they immediately discovered the Yin Yang Person, but he and Shan Ting remained calm and did not disturb the Mountain Guardian.
They had planned to steal the Innate Yin Yang Diagram, but unexpectedly, Shan Ting, wanting to keep the treasure for herself, deliberately alerted the Mountain Guardian when she made her move, wanting him to take the brunt of the Mountain Guardian's attack so she could steal the treasure and run away.
When has Gu Aotian ever suffered such humiliation?
So when the Mountain Guardian made his move, Gu Aotian surrendered immediately. And it's true that the Mountain Guardian didn't actually fight back, he just imprisoned him. Shan Ting didn't expect Gu Aotian to pull this trick, so before he could steal the treasure, he ran away.
"Old Ao, let me tell you, I can save you, but my elder brother is outside. After you get out, you must submit to my elder brother and become his mount. How about it?"
Shan Ting stood in front of the prison cell and looked at Gu Aotian with extreme seriousness, saying...
"Your older brother is here?"
Gu Aotian was somewhat surprised. Although he had never met Shan Ting's older brother, the person Shan Ting mentioned most often over the years was his older brother. So Gu Aotian was genuinely curious about who Shan Ting's older brother was.
"Yes, my older brother has arrived, and I've also learned something about him."
Shan Ting said with a confident expression.
"About my older brother?"
Gu Aotian could no longer remain calm and quickly asked a question.
"Yes, your elder brother is my elder brother's Nemesis. However, my elder brother has already arrived in the Immortal Realm and is renowned far and wide. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely become the Six Realms Master in the future. Old Ao, we are friends. Although you have bullied me a lot over the years, you have indeed helped me a lot in critical moments."
"I know that as a divine beast, a dignified Qilin, you must not be happy to be someone's mount, but you should know that a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. As the saying goes, if you follow a good big brother, you will never have to worry about food in the future. As long as you agree to become my big brother's mount, I guarantee that from now on you will eat and drink well."
Shan Ting earnestly brainwashed Gu Aotian, saying both pleasant and unpleasant things. To be honest, Gu Aotian was not only a Qilin, but also a golden Qilin, the best among Qilin. If he could be persuaded to become Lu Changsheng's mount, it would definitely be a good thing.
Nemesis?
Gu Aotian was slightly taken aback. He really didn't expect that his master, Shan Ting, was actually his Nemesis.
But upon closer reflection, what Nemesis does Lu Changsheng have in the Lower Realm?
Even after racking his brains, Gu Aotian couldn't come up with an answer.
"Old Ao, just give in to my elder brother. After all, it doesn't matter who you are as a mount. We divine beasts have been ridden before. You've met a good elder brother, so just give in."
Shan Ting spoke with the tone of someone who had been through it all.
Gu Aotian really wanted to kick Shan Ting in the face, but he knew that if he turned against him now, this guy would definitely not come to his rescue.
Thinking of this, Gu Aotian took a deep breath and looked at Shan Ting, saying, "I can agree to your request."
In order to gain freedom, Gu Aotian plans to deceive Shan Ting.
Ke Shan Ting shook her head and said, "Old Ao, we've known each other well over the years. You agreed so quickly, do you think I can't guess what you're thinking? You just want me to let you go so you can run away?"
Shan Ting sighed; he saw through Gu Aotian's thoughts at a glance.
"You truly Shan Ting standards, like Qilin. Do you think I, Gu Aotian, am that kind of Qilin?"
"While you're not entirely wrong, think about it carefully. I've never even met your older brother, and you expect me to be his mount? Tell me, would you be willing to be my older brother's mount?"
"You're unwilling too? Here's what we'll do: I swear to God, if it's really possible after I meet your older brother, I'll be his mount. But if your older brother isn't good enough for me, I'll leave on my own. What do you think?"
Gu Aotian spoke, saying this.
But after hearing this, Shan Ting hesitated.
Because what Gu Aotian said was actually true.
Asking someone to acknowledge you as their elder brother without even looking at them is indeed a bit excessive.
After thinking it over, Shan Ting looked at Gu Aotian and said, "Alright, after I get the treasure, I'll take you to see my older brother. But you have to promise me you won't try anything funny, or I'll never forgive you in this lifetime. I'm serious."
Shan Ting to what is said.
"Don't worry, I, Gu Aotian, always keep my word. When have I ever lied to you?"
Gu Aotian immediately became extremely excited.
After saying that, Shan Ting felt relieved and decided to trust Gu Aotian for the last time.
Although I've been fooled so many times, to be fair, it's a Qilin after all. Even if it's Qilin, it can't be that shameless, right?
His elder brother, who could become the Nemesis of his elder brother Lu Changsheng, was obviously a gentleman. Since he was a gentleman, he would only deceive two people, not three.
It's impossible to lie every time, right?
Thinking of this, Shan Ting didn't say anything more and decided to go get the treasure first.
