"Aren't you leaving yet?" the person in the stone formation asked coldly.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master said, "Grandmaster, that vine demon has threatened to annihilate our Mangshan Mountain. I'm afraid..."
"Once I become an immortal, I will come back to destroy the demons." The person in the stone formation was now preoccupied with transcending the tribulation of immortality; there was nothing more important than that.
Although he learned his craft in Mangshan and lived there for hundreds of years, he should have had a deep affection for Mangshan. Unfortunately, at this point, he only considers his own interests.
His idea was exactly the same as that of the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master.
Perhaps this is why Mangshan's status on the mainland has remained lukewarm.
The disciples in the mountains do not have a strong sense of sect honor or mission.
Such a demon-catching sect was never meant to grow and expand. It was already quite remarkable that it could maintain a place on the continent.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master slunk away from the mountaintop, silently cursing his grandmaster's ancestors for eighteen generations.
If they can't persuade their grandmaster, they can only try to fool their fellow disciples.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master then called his fellow disciples together.
These fellow disciples are naturally not as strong as the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, but they are very familiar with each other and can form a powerful array that can trap and kill Shangguan Hongyu.
"I never imagined that our prestigious Mangshan Demon-Catching Sect would be troubled by a mere vine demon."
"That's normal. Many sects don't encounter even one of those ancient demons that have existed for thousands of years, but we just happened to run into one. We can only blame our bad luck."
"But even if we form an array, we are probably no match for that ten-thousand-year-old vine demon."
"Besides, the Ten-Thousand-Year Vine Demon has helpers by its side."
...
Listening to his fellow disciples' words, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master remained silent.
If you're afraid of death, you'll have to give up your life, let alone encounter a powerful demon, or even a minor one.
Mangshan's demon-slaying formation is renowned throughout the continent, and the brothers are all quite powerful. As long as they work together, they will surely be able to defeat Shangguan Hongyu.
But to achieve this, they must trust each other.
There is no doubt that this is very difficult to do.
As fellow disciples, if they cannot even entrust their backs to each other with complete trust, then no matter what kind of monsters they encounter, the power of the formation they form will not be very strong.
"So what's your decision?" After everyone fell silent, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master finally asked with a frown.
If you abandon monsters to save your own life, you don't deserve to be a disciple of Mangshan.
Mangshan is a sect that hunts demons. If the world knew that the demon hunters of Mangshan dared not hunt powerful demons, it would definitely become the funniest joke on the entire continent.
"Senior brother, why don't we have a good talk with that vine demon and see if there's any misunderstanding that we can clear up?"
"That's good. Catching demons in Mangshan doesn't mean catching every demon you see, since demons can be good or bad."
“That’s right, that’s right, I completely agree with both of you senior brothers.”
In the eyes of the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, they were simply afraid of death and cowards.
“If you really can’t swallow this insult, then don’t go down the mountain anymore. Let’s go talk to that vine demon,” a round-faced old man grinned.
As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. The power of this ancient demon is terrifying, so caution is necessary.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master chuckled, too lazy to talk to them anymore. He could only blame his bad luck for having such fellow disciples.
"No need. You dare not, but I must rid the people of demons." With that, the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master turned and left.
His fellow disciples looked at each other, thought it over and over, and finally decided to go down the mountain.
The ten-thousand-year-old vine demon didn't directly attack Mangshan; it might be a good demon. We absolutely mustn't let the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master provoke it.
But when they arrived outside the mountain, they could no longer see any trace of the vine demon.
The Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master has also disappeared without a trace.
"Could something really have happened?"
"It's alright. Senior Brother Jianghu is actually capable of undergoing the Immortal Tribulation, he's just not ready yet. No matter how powerful that great demon is, Senior Brother Jianghu will still have a chance to escape."
After thinking about it, the group felt much better and turned to go up the mountain.
"But speaking of which, have you guys noticed that Senior Brother Jianghu has been acting strangely lately?"
“I’ve noticed that too. He’s always absent-minded and he’s never in the mountains. I don’t know what he’s always running off to do.”
"Don't ask. Senior Brother Jianghu hates nothing more than others prying into his secrets."
As the saying goes, "If it doesn't concern you, don't bother with it." No matter what the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master was going to do, they felt it was none of their business and there was no need to pay attention.
...
The once bright and sunny sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The animals in the mountains and fields were terrified.
"What's wrong with the weather?" While waiting for the Tiger-Subduing Celestial Master, everyone was bored, but the sudden change in the weather still surprised Liu Yi.
Shangguan Hongyu stared at the dark clouds and frowned, saying, "It seems someone is about to undergo a tribulation of immortality."
"Transcending the Immortal Tribulation?" Liu Yi's eyes were full of envy.
As cultivators, their ultimate goal is naturally to transcend tribulations and become immortals.
To reach that point, one must first raise their cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Once you reach that level of cultivation, you still need to further strengthen your power. Only when you feel confident in your abilities can you attempt to transcend the Immortal Tribulation.
However, very few mortal cultivators ultimately succeed in transcending tribulations and becoming immortals.
Even though the hope of becoming an immortal is slim, there are still many Nascent Soul Ancestors who choose to undergo the Immortal Tribulation without hesitation.
If one does not undergo the Immortal Tribulation, one will die sooner or later, but if one successfully undergoes the Tribulation, one can become an immortal god.
The Nascent Soul Ancestor usually takes a detached view of life and death, and is naturally willing to take a gamble, even if he fails.
