Li Jiuzhong's long hair fluttered on his shoulders, making him look like an immortal who had not yet descended into the mortal world.
Behind him, the evil spirit that was once so ferocious in Qingyun Mountain became as obedient as a servant, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and was extremely docile.
There was no one beside the Canglan Lan River, only the howling cold wind.
Li Jiuzhong shook his head and smiled.
"Old man, you told me a thousand years ago that when the second anti-immortal appeared in Beizhou, that would be the time when my soul would return to Beizhou. You were right and wrong..." Li Jiuzhong said to himself in the face of the dim and silent Canglan.
"I am indeed back, but in Beizhou, there are not only two anti-immortals, but three."
Li Jiuzhong thought of the young man in blue and chuckled.
“Perhaps soon, there will be even more anti-immortals.”
Li Jiuzhong raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky.
"When the time comes, the spark will spread like wildfire, and those greedy and hypocritical guys who are oppressing us will be burned to ashes!"
On the edge of the vast ocean, a cold wind was blowing. Suddenly, a towering shadow covered the vast ocean waves.
"well……"
With a sigh, the entire Canglan was swept by huge waves, but strangely, the huge waves quietly disappeared three feet away from Li Jiuzhong.
"You have a chance of winning against the entire Immortal Realm?"
A deep and dark voice sounded, and a gray-green willow branch poked out from the Canglan, tapping lightly on the chessboard. A sea of black chess pieces instantly occupied the entire chessboard.
The three white pieces were isolated and covered by the black sky, like a lone boat in the weak sea, drifting in the desolate sky.
"A thousand years ago, you used drastic measures to change the Heavenly Dao of Beizhou and sealed Beizhou's Dao Qi for a thousand years. However, those foolish people ultimately did not recognize you. Your actions only brought upon yourself an insurmountable karmic disaster. The fate of Beizhou cannot be changed by one person."
Li Jiuzhong shook his head and looked at the black sky on the chessboard with an expressionless face.
"I said, I am not one, but three, and later, there will be more."
The deep voice fell silent for a moment before resounding, "Li Jiuzhong, you've been to the Immortal Realm. You should know how powerful it is. It's not just a foundation of hundreds of thousands of years, but also a terrifying force that has devoured Northern Continent's Dao Qi for thousands of years. Once the Immortal Realm descends, Northern Continent, without a Great Sage to rule, will be doomed."
"Are you pinning your hopes on a certain great sage from the Central Sacred Continent?" the deep voice sneered, "Have you forgotten that the reason the Northern Continent is in this state is because that fellow from the Central Sacred Continent sacrificed him to the Immortal Realm to reach some kind of deal?"
Li Jiuzhong didn't have any emotion. He knew everything this person said.
In fact, he knew even more.
"I know that the cultivation world of Northern Continent is no match for the Immortal World, and I can't place my hopes on those ungrateful scum of Central Saint Continent. That's why I came looking for you."
The corners of Li Jiuzhong's mouth slowly raised up into a strange arc.
"The Canglan demon tribe calls themselves the Kingdom of God, but they are actually descendants of the God Realm, right?"
As the four words "descendants of the divine world" fell, the entire Canglan shook violently, and the boundless black fog dissipated, revealing the figure of a willow tree that reached the sky and penetrated the earth, standing tall in the Canglan.
Uncle Liu took root under Canglan, and his roots were invisible. On the tree trunk, which was thousands of miles thick and thick, was the face of an old man who was slightly surprised.
"How do you know?"
Li Jiuzhong smiled and said, "A thousand years ago, when I was about to ascend to heaven, you told me many secrets about the fairyland. I was able to successfully return from the fairyland with your help. Later, when I caused trouble in Beizhou, it was also due to your instigation. Hehe..."
Li Jiuzhong didn't seem to know that if everything he said were to be made public, it would cause huge turmoil in Beizhou. But at this moment, it was just a casual joke between friends.
"Old fellow, do you think I can completely trust your words without any investigation? The human race and the demon race are born in opposition. You are an old demon who has lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. How can I not be extremely careful when doing business with you?"
Li Jiuzhong continued.
"After a thousand years of slumber, I thought a lot and finally confirmed one thing. Canglan... No, it should be said that some of the great monsters hidden in Canglan are descendants of the God Realm that was destroyed a hundred thousand years ago, including you."
"Only a descendant of the God Realm who was destroyed at the hands of the Immortals could hide Canglan's power so deeply and resort to such unscrupulous means, even instigating a human cultivator to deal with the Immortal Realm."
Li Jiuzhong smiled slightly.
"The people of Beizhou have been fighting against you, the great demon Canglan, for years. It seems like they are evenly matched, but that's just a deception you deliberately put up to confuse the immortals above. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid Beizhou would have ceased to exist."
"After all, there is only one Canglan in the entire cultivation world, and the human race cultivates, and Beizhou is just a corner that is sacrificed."
By the sea, the atmosphere was gloomy.
The willow tree standing in the vast ocean seemed like endless darkness, covering the entire sky.
Li Jiuzhong, dressed in white as white as snow, is the only light here.
"You want me, Canglan, to work with you, the anti-immortal, to deal with the sky above our heads?" The voice of the God of Willow came again.
Li Jiuzhong nodded and chuckled, "You so-called descendants of the gods, since you have been willing to hide in the darkness and dormant for countless years, how can I, Li Jiuzhong, have the face to let you come forward?"
"I just need you to do me a favor."
"What?" asked the Willow God.
"Help me find the two guys who came down with me that year."
…
"How much do you know about Li Jiuzhong's story?"
Li Changan lay on the rattan chair and picked up a pear next to him and took a bite out of it.
Beside him, Li Mingyue stood gracefully, like a fairy from this world.
I have to say that this woman is very charming, and her figure and temperament are first-class. The only regret is that I have not seen Li Mingyue's true face yet.
"Not much, but not less either." Li Mingyue's long, curved eyes were filled with watery light, shimmering and colorful.
"In the beginning, my ancestor was a bastard son of a small family in the Great Yuan Empire, but he was gifted with extraordinary talent for cultivation since he was young. The clan members said that my ancestor was the reincarnation of an immortal and would achieve great things in the future."
"Sure enough, at the age of twelve, my ancestor learned everything without a teacher. He was a young genius, and achieved enlightenment in one step. He then stood out among the people of the Yuan Empire and was sent to the ancient city of Chaoyang. After practicing in Chaoyang City for less than a year, he was chosen to go to the Sword Tomb. He sat under the spiritual locust tree for ten years and successfully attained enlightenment."
Li Changan was amazed. This guy really had the aura of a protagonist. He was so much more awesome than himself.
"After attaining enlightenment, our ancestor was expected to become the Lord of Chaoyang City, but he didn't have that idea. Instead, he traveled alone to Canglan and never returned to Beizhou. Many people believe that he died at the hands of the Canglan demon, but that wasn't the case."
Li Mingyue's expression was a little strange, with a deep sigh.
"In fact, our ancestor transcended the tribulation and ascended to heaven in Canglan."
