650. The Fire Burns the Four Sects, Leaving Me Out of It!
"Escape!"
The same applies to the other three immortals.
Although Old Monster Granny Lu had the strength to overwhelm them, she was ultimately just a mortal Immortal Method. Unless she could kill the four immortals in one blow, with her Earth Immortal Divine Ability, it would be extremely difficult for her to be killed or left alive.
The Eight Immortals, Divine Ability.
In a flash.
All four immortals have disappeared.
"Escape?"
"Where do you think you're going!"
Old Monster Granny Lu's face was ashen, showing no mercy. While pursuing, she simultaneously unfurled the four scrolls of Landscape Realm Painting in her hands, slashing down with her palm like a blade—
Really.
Four more withered branches.
"Court death!"
Old Granny Lu took a step out, leaving the Lesser Weakwater and arriving outside Peach Mountain.
"Duh!"
The Star-Sucking Divine Hairpin was unleashed and slammed down upon the Peach Mountain Formation—
Rumble!
The sound was deafening, startling the entire world.
The Peach Mountain Formation was broken instantly.
"Where did this old monster come from!"
Peach Mountain Immortal inwardly groaned. Forgetting all about the mountain gate, he swept his sleeves and led thousands of disciples into the Blessed Land. The True Immortal in his sect had already been almost entirely wiped out. If even this last bit of his strength was killed by that madwoman outside, Peach Mountain would truly be left with only him as a lone general.
Earth Immortal resides in this Blessed Land.
Even Celestial Immortal wouldn't dare to enter rashly.
When Old Monster Granny Lu turned to hiding like a coward, she was truly at her wit's end.
"Okay, okay!"
"Let's see how long you can hide!"
The old Granny Lu was so angry that she laughed instead.
The Star-Sucking Divine Hairpin hung horizontally in the air, spewing out thousands of poisonous flames.
Boom!
The poisonous fire swept through, instantly turning the entire Peach Mountain into scorched earth. Millions of years of cultivation vanished in a single day. Even the Peach Mountain disciples who hadn't been taken away were burned to ashes.
Like maggots clinging to bones, they entangle the earth.
Even if we reclaim Peach Mountain, this place will become a dead end, a place that will be difficult to set foot in again.
"You wicked hag!"
"You wicked hag!"
The Peach Mountain Immortal, hiding in the Blessed Land, was so furious that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he was also glad that he had brought his disciples into the Blessed Land.
They saw that the Blessed Land was surrounded by poisonous fire and they could not escape.
Gong Han simply stayed in the middle, waiting for the patriarch to arrive and kill the old woman, "I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death!"
The outer room.
The old monster Granny Lu burned down Peach Mountain, but she was still not satisfied.
"Go!"
He tossed the Star-Sucking Divine Hairpin into the sky, and it immediately split into three, each flying off in one of the three directions.
Call!
Whew!
A sudden gust of wind arose, and poisonous fire raged.
The Heaven Mountain, the Snow Ridge, and the heart of the North Sea were instantly engulfed in Huoyun, turning thousands of miles into scorched earth, and all the efforts of tens of thousands or even millions of years were in vain.
"The four sects lent me their most precious treasures for cultivation."
"We should be grateful that the old woman doesn't hold it against us."
"Now that the treasure is lost, the four factions are definitely involved. Do they really think they can fool this old woman with such a few tricks, a mix of truth and falsehood?!"
The importance of 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' to Old Granny Lu is self-evident.
The four factions, and even Lu Qingfeng before, all thought that this treasure had accidentally fallen into the Lesser Weakwater, but Old Monster Granny Lu placed the Great Wilderness Mountain not far from the Southern Florescence Realm and kept a close eye on it.
They can arrive immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
Over the years.
Old Monster Granny Lu saw it clearly—
Apart from the four factions, no other forces or immortals have paid attention to or come into contact with the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm'.
It only takes a short nap.
Such a short time.
Besides the Peach Mountain Four Sects, who else could steal this treasure?!
"The thief is among the four factions!"
Old Lady Granny Lu was certain of her decision.
While keeping an eye on the four Earth Immortal in the Northern Frost Snow Domain, the true form outside the void sealed off the Southern Florescence Realm, and at the same time sent a message to the 'Old Man of Bitter Bamboo' in the Great Wilderness Mountain—
"Old Monster Kuzhu has a 'Crystal Ball' obtained from the Poison Dragon. As long as the thief is still near Southern Splendor, he can see the situation from the crystal ball. Although he only knows what happened and not what will happen in the future, if he observes the past and the present situation, it is as if he has witnessed it himself."
"We'll catch you red-handed then, let's see what you have to say!"
The Northern Frost Snow Domain.
Stealthily move without making a sound.
Lu Qingfeng left Lesser Weakwater and went far away from Peach Mountain.
Just hundreds of thousands of miles away, he suddenly sensed the fluctuations of energy in the Lesser Weakwater, and the release of fighting spirit.
He immediately laughed.
Continue heading southeast.
Before long, flames shot into the sky again, their powerful aura as bright as the sun and moon.
Lu Qingfeng continued, but instead unleashed the ' Heaven-Hearing Earth-Seeing Great Method'—
Immediately, they saw that the four sects had been reduced to scorched earth, the immortals were trapped in the Blessed Land, and an old Daoist priestess with a face as cold as frost blocked the four sects of immortals.
They laughed even harder for a moment.
"Pity."
"The Southern Florescence Realm does not tolerate Celestial Immortal. Old Monster Granny Lu could only send down one of his Dharma bodies, and his strength was limited, so he was unable to kill the four immortals."
Lu Qingfeng smiled, thinking it was a pity, but his smile remained unchanged.
If he were to make a move, given the power of the 'Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Saber,' there would be a high chance he could kill the four immortals. However, there would be many troubles afterwards, and he might even have to trouble his elder brother to protect him.
They would have to worry about the wrath of that vicious old hag Granny Lu from time to time.
It's inevitable to feel anxious and apprehensive.
And right now.
To muddy the waters and shift the blame eastward.
Although the four sects of Earth Immortal immortals managed to escape with their lives, they still suffered considerable losses.
He also made a deadly enemy of someone like Old Granny Lu.
Let alone whether the misunderstanding can be cleared up.
Even if they later learned it was a misunderstanding, the fact that Old Granny Lu had humiliated the four sects and burned their foundations to ashes meant that the four sects would have to consider their reputation and might not reconcile with Old Monster Granny Lu.
Both sides have made enemies.
This result couldn't be better.
Feeling happy.
From the tip of his hair, Golden Silkworm the size of a soybean swung up to Lu Qingfeng and stopped, bouncing around, clearly overjoyed.
"Ha ha!"
"Once this matter is settled, we can return to Yellow Wind Ridge after we have destroyed the Divine Empyrean Sect."
"One must not leave the mountain unless one becomes Earth Immortal!"
Carrying valuable treasures abroad is like a child holding gold—ultimately unsafe.
Furthermore, after his trials in the Nine Netherworlds and Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, his cultivation reached its peak, and it was time for him to prove Earth Immortal.
The Seven-Treasure Gourd in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm is something Lu Qingfeng is really looking forward to.
Upon hearing this,
The Golden Silkworm swayed back and forth, clutching the end of her hair, its Six Wings fluttering, growing increasingly joyful.
Beyond the stars.
The old monster Granny Lu stood expressionless in the void. A beam of light appeared, revealing a short, skeletal, thin, and withered old woman.
It was no stranger.
It was none other than the 'Withered Bamboo Elder', one of the Two Elders of the Great Wilderness
"Although the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' is also a fourth-tier Immortal Artifact, its effectiveness is ultimately limited. Is it really worth the Immortal Granny going to such lengths to achieve the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit after hundreds of thousands of years?"
The Withered Bamboo Elder opened his mouth and spoke, his voice as hoarse as an old tree.
This treasure was crafted by Old Monster Granny Lu at his request, so he was well aware of its true nature.
The only thing I don't know is—
This 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' also hides a rare treasure of heaven and earth, the 'Seven-Treasure Gourd'.
Treasures that move the heart.
Although Old Monster Granny Lu and Withered Bamboo Elder are known as the "Two Elders of the Great Wilderness," they were not on good terms in the past. Even though they have cooperated a lot in recent years, it has only been for their own benefit.
Therefore, it is inconvenient to say so explicitly.
Old Monster Granny Lu said, "'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' may not be special at the moment, but if it can really help one quickly become Earth Immortal, and then be refined into Spirit Treasure, it may be possible to quickly become Celestial Immortal, or even help us break through and advance."
That makes sense.
These individuals have cultivated themselves for countless years. Although they enjoy Changsheng and freedom, they also know best the torment of being stuck at a bottleneck and making little progress.
Therefore, there were numerous attempts over the long years.
For example, 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm'.
This was one of the attempts by Old Granny Lu.
Whether it succeeds or not, it's at least a possible path.
When the old monster Granny Lu mentioned this heavy object, the Withered Bamboo Elder, knowing the old woman's temperament, didn't suspect anything for a moment. He then took out a Crystal Ball as large as a bushel of wheat. Without Granny Lu's prompting, he immediately began his ritual—
He stepped on the Xuan Gang, chanted a magic incantation, bit his middle finger, took a mouthful of magical water, and sprayed it onto the crystal ball. Immediately, smoke and clouds rose from Crystal Ball crystal ball, and the transparent sphere was shrouded in a white mist.
In a short while, the smoke and clouds dissipated.
Granny Lu the Old Monster and the Withered Bamboo Elder looked at the Crystal Ball at the same time, only to see it distort and become blurry and invisible.
"What's going on?!" Old Granny Lu's eyes widened as she turned to look at the Withered Bamboo Elder.
The latter shook his head, "Perhaps a master intervened and disrupted the secrets of heaven, or perhaps the person who stole the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' has the supernatural Divine Ability to conceal the secrets of heaven."
"Disrupting the secrets of heaven?"
"Concealing the secrets of heaven?"
Old Monster Granny Lu frowned and pressed on, "Your Crystal Ball is incredibly mysterious; even Celestial Immortal beings can detect it. Could it be that a powerful Golden Immortal would covet my fourth-tier immortal Immortal Artifact?!"
She said it.
My heart sank suddenly.
Yes!
The Golden Immortal might look down on the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm,' but the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm contains the 'Seven-Treasure Gourd,' a rare treasure second only to the Earth Spirit. Not to mention the Golden Immortal, even the most famous figures in the Primordial World would Heart Movement.
If it were truly Golden Immortal making a move, there would be no way to get it back.
"If he were Golden Immortal, why would he need to go through all this trouble?"
The Withered Bamboo Elder laughed.
When Old Granny Lu heard this, she was puzzled for a moment, but after a pause, she understood.
She was so concerned that she lost her mind and became confused.
The Withered Bamboo Elder clearly meant:
If Golden Immortal were to see the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' and take it away casually, who could snatch it back from him?
This idea isn't wrong for a fourth-tier Immortal Artifact that's practically useless.
But--
"Wrong!"
Old Monster Granny Lu felt bitter. "Golden Immortal might not care about the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm, but there is a 'Seven-Treasure Gourd' in the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm. If this Golden Immortal is impatient with trouble, he might just disturb the heavenly secrets and erase the traces."
This is information asymmetry.
The Withered Bamboo Elder was not wrong to say that he started from "Lesser Shu Mountain Realm".
But Old Granny Lu knew the truth.
Not daring to rule out the possibility of the Golden Immortal intervening, he was momentarily anxious and his expression inevitably became abnormal.
"Xing is probably a mortal cultivator, at most Earth Immortal, who has a treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven and has thus escaped the detection of the Crystal Ball." The Withered Bamboo Elder said to himself, without any change in expression.
But as he glanced at Old Monster Granny Lu, a cold smile crept into his heart, "'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' may have mysteries and the potential to produce Earth Immortal, but so far no Earth Immortal has emerged from it. It is by no means of great importance to Old Granny Lu. Her sudden commotion and self-inflicted chaos must mean she has some secrets."
Thinking to myself.
The Withered Bamboo Elder also felt some regret.
When Old Monster Granny Lu asked him to jointly refine the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm', there was nothing unusual about it, and the reasons were quite reasonable, so he actually believed it. Over the years, seeing Old Monster Granny Lu place the Lesser Shu Mountain Realm in the Lesser Weakwater and let the four sects use it, he also thought that she was observing and testing the waters.
So much so.
He never even considered taking a closer look at 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm'.
Looking back now, I realize there was something fishy going on everywhere.
"I wonder what kind of treasure it is?"
The Withered Bamboo Elder gripped the Crystal Ball, his heart pounding with anxiety.
