A Rumor: Becoming an Immortal?

Inside the Dao Repository Academy, Bai Shu glanced into the distance, then turned to an old man fishing by the lake and asked, "Dean, those two little rascals have caused quite a commotion. The entire Kuangqing Mountain Range has become a ghost town, and many fellow Daoists are already complaining. Shouldn't we stop them?"

That's true. After all, that entire mountain range had become a ghost town, so it's impossible that no one discovered it. Besides, it wasn't exactly a place devoid of life.

If the Dao Repository Academy hadn't intervened and suppressed some people, Shen Ge and his companion wouldn't be so safe and sound.

"No rush, no rush, wait a little longer." The old man calmly tugged at the fishing rod, and the next moment a large red fish, about ten feet in size, was pulled out of the water.

This fish is no ordinary fish; it is a dragon fish, containing a trace of dragon blood within its body. It is a fifth-tier spiritual creature, and if its luck is exceptionally strong enough, it might even leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon.

The old man waved his hand and threw the fish back into the water, then continued fishing. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Bai Shu didn't say anything more. He walked to the lakeside, found a rock to sit on, and took out a piece of ordinary wood to start carving.

Before long, a wooden fish took shape in his hands. The wooden fish was lifelike with distinct scales and armor, and it also contained a mysterious spirit, looking as if it were alive.

Bai Shu tossed the wooden fish into the water, and the wooden body swayed slightly the moment it entered the water—truly magical.

Bai Shu on the shore glanced at it, shook her head, and gradually disappeared.

White Dragon City, Xie Fan and Bai Yu emerged from a Treasure Pavilion and immediately went to the cave abode rental office to rent a cave abode and begin healing.

With the newly acquired elixir, the injuries sustained from the destruction of the clone were nothing to worry about.

Sure enough, they both woke up in less than ten days, and their injuries had healed completely.

However, the lost clones cannot be reproduced, since clones are not something that can be created easily.

Fortunately, they didn't only have one clone, so the loss wasn't too great.

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

Xie Fan waved his hand and placed several pastries and spiritual tea on the table. As soon as he sat down in the chair opposite him, Bai Yu appeared.

Xie Fan calmly picked up a piece of pastry and handed it over, his expression gentle and refined, saying, "I have no particular thoughts."

"Mortals in the mortal world say that suffering a loss is a blessing, and I think there's some truth to that. Our losses this time weren't that great, so there's no need for further losses."

"Besides, we were the ones who had the bad intentions first, so this loss can be considered a lesson learned."

Bai Yu chuckled, took the pastry, and took a small bite, saying as he ate, "Since when has my brother become someone who's willing to suffer a loss?"

"That makes sense, that guy seems to the Dao Repository Academy, so it's really not appropriate for us to do anything."

"See, you know perfectly well, so why are you still making sarcastic remarks?" Xie Fan pushed the plate of pastries away, looking somewhat helpless.

They figured it out as soon as they arrived in White Dragon City. The mountain range wasn't particularly far from White Dragon City, yet it still existed. Clearly, someone was protecting it. And the strongest organization in the vicinity was the Dao Repository Academy. Without their approval, how could the area have been turned into a ghost town while everyone remained indifferent?

Having figured this out, the two of them decided to stop arguing. After all, if they really went too far, they might provoke the experts from the Dao Repository Academy, and since they weren't exactly innocent either, they might end up getting slapped to death.

"I never expected that the Dao Repository Academy, one of the leading righteous sects in the Flowing Splendor Domain, would actually harbor such a monstrous creature. It truly surprises me."

Because their clones were destroyed, neither of them knew who was in the mountains.

"That's true." Bai Yu tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her beautiful face showing a thoughtful expression.

"Forget it, never mind. Thinking about these things will never lead to anything." Bai Yu shook off her pensive expression and reverted to her usual charming and bright demeanor. "Brother, let's go, let's take a detour to Azure Province. There have been a lot of rumors lately, saying that a senior from the Azure Origin Palace is about to ascend to immortality. I wonder if it's true or not. Let's go and witness the ceremony."

Xie Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "This rumor is really quite unfounded. I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, then the status of the Azure Origin Palace is no weaker than the two great holy lands of the Central Domain. The only person to become an immortal in nearly 30,000 years, that's quite a prestigious title."

"Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. This rumor alone is enough to draw a lot of people to Azure Origin City. More people means more treasures. Let's go see if we can get anything."

After agreeing on the terms, the two did not linger and went directly from the teleportation array in White Dragon City to Azure Province.

There might also be a hint of escaping in their actions, since they were only at the Spirit Severing Middle Stage Soul realm, and they dared not linger in White Dragon City if they risked offending the Dao Repository Academy.

Void Star Hall Battlefield.

Su Liuyue had just finished a fierce battle, and she was already battered and bruised, on the verge of death.

She was fighting a demonic Demon Beast with the bloodline of the Yazi, which came from the Heavenly Demon Domain. Although it was only in the Spirit Severing Middle Stage Soul realm, its powerful physique and terrifying Divine Ability almost killed Su Liuyue, who was in the Late Spirit Severing Realm Soul realm, demonstrating its strength.

After collecting the corpse, Su Liuyue dared not linger and immediately cast over a dozen concealment arrays before leaving the area.

Although she almost died this time, the gains were quite significant; just the corpse alone made the trip worthwhile for her.

Because most of Demon Cultivator's strength lies in their physical body, Demon Cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Domain almost always descend in their true form. Therefore, their corpses are their most valuable possessions, and many Demon Cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Domain often find themselves surrounded and killed by multiple people.

On the other side of the Star Palace, Mo Qingyu was fleeing in a sorry state, pursued by three people, all of whom were at the Late Spirit Severing Realm Soul realm. Judging from their Spiritual Qi fluctuations, they seemed to be Devil Cultivator from the Devil Domain Realm.

"Mo Qingyu, aren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Why are you running away?!" a Devil Cultivator shouted.

"Mo Teng, back then on the Gods and Devils Battlefield, I killed you like a chicken. Why didn't you shout when your head hit the ground?" Mo Qingyu sneered, but she didn't stop. Instead, she increased her speed even more.

This Mo Teng is from the Black Devil Sect, and his strength is quite formidable. During the later stages of the war between the righteous and demonic factions, he fought against Mo Qingyu. Because he was only present as an avatar, he was no match for Mo Qingyu and was killed by her. This incident enraged him so much that he went mad. If the war hadn't ended, he might have come to kill her in his true form.

However, he never expected to run into them again at the Void Star Hall. This time, he's determined to avenge his previous humiliation!
