Forty-Year-Old True Immortal

"Saint-grade Ice Spirit Root, Top-grade Water Spiritual Root. Not bad, not bad." Ice Water Daoist looked at the two of them and nodded repeatedly.

"This junior is undeserving of your praise, Senior," Shui Nianyao said respectfully.

Could the opportunity left behind by the ancient great sect, Ice Water Sect, be Ice Water Daoist himself?

However, Ice Water Daoist revealed a strange smile. "You two little girls are the final step in my achievement of the Ice Water Dharma Body. I've waited a thousand years, and you've finally come."

"Senior, what do you mean?" Shui Nianyao's expression changed when she heard this.

"Hahahaha, I don't mind telling you two little girls. I've spent ten thousand years preparing for this. You're the ninety-ninth pair of Ice and Water Spiritual Roots to come here. Everyone who entered this place before has already been refined into Ice Water Pills. Only after gathering ninety-nine Ice Water Pills can I reconstruct my physical body and descend upon this world with invincible strength."

Ice Water Daoist laughed smugly. He made no effort to conceal his intentions.

After all, one was at Foundation Establishment and the other was at Qi Refining. Against two little girls like them, he wouldn't even need to do more than exhale for them to be unable to withstand it.

"What?!"

Sū Nán's face paled when she heard this.

Shui Nianyao remained calm. "We are true disciples of Dao Tian Sect in Azure Continent. If you kill us, Dao Tian Sect definitely won't let you off."

"What a joke. After I kill you and reconstruct my physical body, my cultivation will soon reach Mahayana. Not to mention Azure Continent—even if all the experts from every continent joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to find me." Ice Water Daoist let out a cold chuckle.

Then he continued, "You two little girls, stop making pointless resistance."

The instant his voice fell, an immensely powerful pressure suddenly erupted from Ice Water Daoist's body. It was like a mountain, crashing down heavily upon Shui Nianyao and Sū Nán.

Their already pale faces turned even paler.

Before such a powerful expert, the two of them had no strength to resist at all.

Am I going to die?

Sū Nán thought this to herself.

But she still wanted to eat her master's cooking one more time.

Although it made her dizzy, it really was delicious...

Just then, Ice Water Daoist's gaze fell upon Shui Nianyao.

He bared his teeth in a grin. "I'll start with you, little girl."

With that, Ice Water Daoist flashed forward and appeared before Shui Nianyao.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.

A woman's phantom drifted out of Shui Nianyao's body.

It was none other than Canglan Mountain Lord.

"What Demonic Path scum are you, to dare lay a hand on this mountain lord's disciple?" Canglan Mountain Lord looked coldly at Ice Water Daoist.

"Master!"

Shui Nianyao's expression brightened when she saw her.

"A Virtual Immortal Realm clone?" Ice Water Daoist was slightly taken aback when he saw her, then sneered. "If your true body had come, I might have found it troublesome. But you're merely a tiny clone, so don't come out and make a fool of yourself. Although my physical body has perished, even my Primordial Spirit possesses the might of the Integration Realm. Since your clone has come, it might as well become nourishment for me."

"Seeking death!"

Canglan Mountain Lord flew into a thunderous rage. With a raise of her hand, she struck out a Sword Qi like a tsunami.

But Ice Water Daoist merely raised a withered hand and gave it a light slap. The Sword Qi shattered with a thunderous boom.

Canglan Mountain Lord's expression tightened.

The next moment, Ice Water Daoist appeared before her. Before she could react, he slammed a palm into her chest. Canglan Mountain Lord flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.

The clone's form flickered erratically, growing dim and bright.

"Nothing but an ant." Ice Water Daoist sneered.

If this book is to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Sū Nán and Shui Nianyao were both shocked when they saw Canglan Mountain Lord's clone defeated.

Shui Nianyao's face turned deathly pale, and she cried out, "Master!"

Crying out, Shui Nianyao was about to go help her master up.

"What a touching display of master-and-disciple affection." Ice Water Daoist clicked his tongue in wonder.

Then his gaze fell upon Sū Nán.

"Saint-grade Ice Spirit Root. I've been waiting long enough." Looking at Sū Nán, Ice Water Daoist revealed the gaze of a hungry wolf before flashing to her side.

He raised a hand and reached for Sū Nán's neck.

Suddenly, a sinister aura erupted from Sū Nán's body.

Ice Water Daoist sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly dodged.

The next moment, the figure of a young man in a blue-green robe stood before Sū Nán.

"Master!" Sū Nán's eyes filled with delight when she saw him.

"Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord!"

Shui Nianyao and Canglan Mountain Lord both relaxed at the sight of him.

After all, he was hailed as the youngest Tribulation Transcendence expert in Azure Continent's history. It seemed they would be saved today.

"You little girl." Li Zhōujūn flicked Sū Nán on the forehead, then looked toward Ice Water Daoist. "You wanted to hurt my disciple?"

"Heh heh, it's merely a clone. As long as I wait until the energy in your clone is exhausted, your disciple will still be prey in my hands."

Looking at the unfathomable young man before him, Ice Water Daoist narrowed his eyes.

A Saint-grade Ice Spirit Root—he didn't want to give up so easily.

"What you said is indeed one way to handle it." Li Zhōujūn nodded in agreement. But then his tone shifted, and he smiled faintly. "However, you've overestimated yourself."

"Hm?" Ice Water Daoist froze.

But the next moment, a terrifying aura descended, making Ice Water Daoist's flesh crawl.

He looked up at the sky and saw a flying sword hurtling toward him with the force of splitting heaven and earth.

"A Ninth-grade Immortal Sword?!"

Ice Water Daoist lost his voice in shock. "How is that possible?!"

Before he could finish speaking, the flying sword descended with an unstoppable might, smashing Ice Water Daoist's ten-thousand-year-old remnant soul into oblivion.

"A Ninth-grade Immortal Sword..." Canglan Mountain Lord stared at the flying sword in Li Zhōujūn's hand in shock.

The fact that Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord could wield a Ninth-grade Immortal Sword indirectly meant that his cultivation had already reached the level of a Mahayana True Immortal, didn't it?

Canglan Mountain Lord hardly dared to imagine it.

A forty-year-old Tribulation Transcendence expert was still understandable.

But a forty-year-old True Immortal was something she genuinely didn't even dare imagine.

Seeing her master casually suppress and kill Ice Water Daoist, Sū Nán couldn't help feeling proud.

Shui Nianyao gave Sū Nán a complicated look, with no lack of envy in her eyes. She also knew that a Ninth-grade Immortal Sword was not something just anyone could wield.

To wield a Ninth-grade Immortal Sword to the extent Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord had—killing someone thousands of miles away in an instant—one needed to possess at least Mahayana cultivation.

"You two, are you all right?" Li Zhōujūn asked Canglan Mountain Lord and Shui Nianyao.

"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me, Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord." Canglan Mountain Lord respectfully bowed to Li Zhōujūn.

"Thank you for saving me, Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord." Shui Nianyao also addressed Li Zhōujūn with awe.

"We're fellow disciples. There's no need for such courtesy." Li Zhōujūn waved his hand and chuckled.
