Chapter 474 The True Face of the Immortal Lord

When Chu Ning came down from the Immortal Mountain, many people noticed it with their spiritual sense.

In everyone's opinion, Chu Ning had to leave the Immortal Mountain in a panic because he did not have enough vitality and could not meet the requirements to enter the Immortal Palace.

Some are happy, some are secretly delighted.

…

At the foot of the mountain.

Chu Ning's eyes kept changing. If Lu Sizhong and the others had not come in this time, he would have chosen to give up directly, because the Immortality Sutra did not have much appeal to him.

You can even take this opportunity to prove that you don't have much time left. Even if you live forever, you can attribute it to the fact that you took elixirs and longevity elixirs, and no one will doubt you anymore.

But Lu Sizhong, Jiang Zuo and the others had already gone in. If he didn't go in, he would feel uneasy if something happened to these guys.

"As an immortal, you shouldn't make too many friends."

Chu Ning sighed in his heart. Having good friends and owing favors to people means having ties. Many times, the choices you make are not based on the optimal solution of the immortals.

But how can he enter the Immortal Palace? According to the explosion of the underground energy, the closer to the top of the mountain, the stronger it will be. I am afraid that in the end, dozens of human-shaped blood shadows will attack him. Each human-shaped blood shadow is equivalent to a mid-stage spirit transformation cultivator. If more than a dozen of them attack at the same time, even he will not be able to withstand it.

It is too risky to climb the Immortal Palace head-on.

Since we can’t climb up the mountain, what about from underground?

Thinking of the rhythm underground, Chu Ning also became curious. He also wanted to see where these human-shaped blood shadows came from.

Chu Ning slipped into the ground, and to his surprise, the ground was extremely hard. Even with his mid-stage Spirit Transformation realm, it was very difficult for him to break through the ground, and he could only advance one zhang every ten breaths.

Formation? Chu Ning ruled out this possibility. If it was because of the formation restriction, there would definitely be energy flowing out, but he did not sense any energy from the formation restriction. There was only one possibility, that the earth itself was so hard.

This land is somewhat special.

A mountain seal appeared above Chu Ning's head, and streams of green energy fell like waterfalls.

This time, Chu Ning stepped underground again without any obstruction.

Mountain power!

These green energies are transformed from his mountain power. No matter how hard the land is, it is as fragile as tofu in the face of the mountain power.

With the Mountain Seal hanging over his head, Chu Ning went deeper and deeper into the ground. The further he went down, the stronger the rhythm became.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chu Ning stopped and a sea of ​​red fire appeared in front of him.

Underground magma!

So, this rhythm is because the Immortal Mountain is actually a volcano, and the magma under the ground is cracking and coming out? "Brother, this is definitely not underground fire." The voice of the underground fire spirit sounded in Chu Ning's mind.

"Not Earth Fire?"

This sea of ​​​​magma and fire inside the mountain is the standard process of underground fire production, but now the spirit of the underground fire actually says that this is not underground fire.

Boom! The next moment, the rhythm sounded again.

The sea of ​​fire was boiling, and a blood-red bubble flew out from it. Chu Ning's eyes condensed, and he clearly saw a human-shaped blood shadow in the blood-red bubble, but the bubble only rose to a height of less than ten feet before it burst, turning into a pool of blood and falling back into the sea of ​​fire.

"This is not a sea of ​​fire, it's a sea of ​​blood."

Chu Ning looked at the sea of ​​blood. It looked very similar to molten lava from the outside, but now he could be sure that it was not molten lava but a sea of ​​blood.

"It's not an illusionary sea of ​​blood, but a real sea of ​​blood and corpses. Every drop is blood. How many people must have been killed?"

After observing the sea of ​​blood for a while, Chu Ning came to a conclusion.

This sea of ​​blood is formed by the condensation of essence and blood.

Those human-shaped blood shadows were born from this essence and blood. Only the essence and blood of cultivators, because they still have residual energy, can do this.

He couldn't imagine how many people had to be killed to create such a sea of ​​blood.

Endless.

Tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, or even more? The stronger the realm of the cultivator, the more energy contained in the blood essence, but the amount of blood essence is about the same. To form such a sea of ​​blood, the number of cultivators who died must be incredibly astonishing.

Is this the person who was killed by the Immortal Venerable? Chu Ning had some understanding of the Immortal Venerable from the information given by Yun Anlan. The Immortal Venerable was born in the Ninth Realm, but no one knew which realm it was. When he became famous, he was already in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm.

At that time, the Immortal Venerable's actual lifespan had exceeded 7,000 years, which had already surpassed the lifespan limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm. This was also what the Immortal Venerable said later.

In order not to reveal the truth that he had a long lifespan, the Immortal Venerable practiced very secretly in the early stages. It was not until he broke through to the Void Realm that he revealed some of his past experiences.

At that time, no one in the Ninth Realm dared to take advantage of the Immortal Lord.

In the nearly 20,000 years since the Immortal Venerable appeared in the eyes of the world, there has not been much killing. Normally, no cultivator would dare to offend a powerful Cave Void Master, and even the major sects mostly treat him with courtesy.

The cultivator world's evaluation of the Immortal Reverend was not that of a bloodthirsty evil cultivator, but rather that of a knowledgeable old senior who gave guidance to younger cultivators and had a very good reputation at the time.

How could there be so much essence and blood in the tomb of such a powerful man?

Chu Ning had a bad feeling in his heart that this Immortal Venerable might be different from what was rumored by the outside world.

His spiritual consciousness spread across the sea of ​​blood. The next moment, Chu Ning's pupils shrank rapidly. He found dozens of corpses beneath the sea of ​​blood.

Those gods who came in with them and were killed for no reason, and those gods who were killed by the killing array on the Immortal Mountain.

The bodies of these people were now lying quietly under the sea of ​​blood. The blood kept flowing out and poured into the sea of ​​blood, becoming a part of it. After all the blood had been lost, the flesh and bones on their bodies began to slowly sink, and finally, were wrapped by a layer of red film.

One, two...

Hundreds of red membranes wrapped around corpses were now suspended in the depths of the sea of ​​blood. Seeing these membranes, Chu Ning understood what those human-shaped blood shadows were.

The human-shaped blood shadows are the transformations of those dead monks.

These cultivators were all powerful gods. Although they were dead, they were gods when they were alive, and their spirit remained in their bones. In the history of cultivators, there were some crazy guys who specialized in digging up the graves of gods and taking out their bones to use as materials for refining weapons.

These human-shaped blood shadows are formed by the corpses of the powerful gods who were wiped out and the sea of ​​blood.

At this moment, a bold guess suddenly came to Chu Ning's mind.

In order to verify his guess, Chu Ning summoned a puppet to fly over the sea of ​​blood, and he followed behind the puppet, crossing the sea of ​​blood. Wherever he passed, the sea of ​​blood below was boiling, and blood bubbles popped up from time to time, but they all fell from a height of hundreds of feet and fell back into the sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood was flowing, and Chu Ning was following the direction of the flow of the blood. After half an hour, he finally reached the end of the sea of ​​blood.

When I looked into the distance, I was completely stunned.

At the end of the sea of ​​blood, there are many river branches that divert the blood away. These river branches crisscross and there is no end in sight.

This scene made Chu Ning think of a word: blood vessels.

Just like the blood vessels in the human body, each canal is a blood vessel, and eventually all these blood vessels will lead to a common place.

heart.

Chu Ning's face was gloomy. He only paused for three breaths and then continued to move forward. Soon he confirmed his guess.

These rivers and canals finally converged together into a huge red coffin.

These blood vessel-like channels flow into the red coffin.

On all four sides of the red coffin, there is a pattern of a lying real phoenix carved with a strange blood-red halo, which looks lifelike. If you look closely, you will find that the blood-red halo of the real phoenix pattern is the strands of flowing blood.

Reborn in blood.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Chu Ning whispered, and now he was even more certain of his guess that the Immortal Lord did not want to leave any inheritance behind, but wanted to be reborn in this way, or to be more precise, to be resurrected from the dead.

A man who lived for more than 20,000 years, did not leave his heritage to future generations, but paradoxically left a grave, searched for a suitable successor with great fanfare, left behind all kinds of treasures, and the temptation of the Immortality Sutra that could prolong life drove many powerful gods to enter, and finally turned into the essence of the sea of ​​blood, which became a condition for his resurrection.

Chu Ning’s spiritual consciousness followed the True Phoenix pattern upwards. The True Phoenix’s raised head was carved on the coffin lid, and its mouth, which was ten feet long, was aimed right at the center of the coffin lid, which was also the place where the essence and blood gathered.

The True Phoenix absorbed the essence and blood, and then transferred it into the Immortal Lord in the coffin in some form.

At this moment, Chu Ning could already be sure that the person lying in the coffin was the Immortal Lord.

"The Immortal Demon King, who has a long lifespan, tried every possible way to be reborn. Now the Immortal Venerable is doing the same. Throughout the ages, all the strong men cannot escape the law of cherishing their lives. The stronger they are, the more so. There is no such thing as immortality without suffering."

Chu Ning smiled bitterly. He had previously believed that this Immortal Lord had lived too long and witnessed the passing of his relatives and friends one after another, and finally became disheartened.

Now it seems that unless it is true eternal life, let alone 20,000 years, even 30,000 years, 50,000 years, or 100,000 years is still not enough for human heart.

"Perhaps one day in the future, I will follow the same path as the Immortal Lord."

This terrible thought suddenly popped up in Chu Ning's mind. He now has a long life and is extremely contemptuous of this Immortal Venerable, but what about waiting for 50,000 years to pass?

The longer one lives, the more he cherishes his life.

There are many cases where dragon slayers eventually turn into dragons.

Looking at the blood vessels connecting the coffin, Chu Ning's eyes flickered. If he cut them off, would the Immortal Lord's plan fail?

Just when this thought popped up in Chu Ning's mind, the pair of blood-red eyes of the True Phoenix on the red coffin suddenly flashed.

Boom! Chu Ning felt dizzy for a moment, and the next moment, a picture appeared in his mind.

In the vast sea of ​​clouds, an old man appeared in front of him.

"I have finally waited for you."

The old man looked at Chu Ning, but Chu Ning frowned: "Why do you have to pretend to be me?"

When Chu Ning saw the old man in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity, and the next moment he realized that this was his old self.

When he fought with Zuo Xuan, he burned up his lifespan and looked old.

"Everyone will grow old one day, so why pretend? It's probably because you don't want to accept the way you look when you're old."

The old man smiled slightly. "The eagle that once soared in the sky will one day be unable to flap its wings due to old age and can only cry to the sky. How sad it is."

"All living things can grow old, and no one can change that." Chu Ning replied calmly.

"They are ordinary creatures. Their lifespans are limited by the shackles of heaven and earth. But you are different. An immortal can transcend heaven and earth and achieve true immortality."

The old man looked deep in his eyes: "Your life span is longer than mine. If you choose to live again, you will have an endless life span."

"So, you are the means of protection left by the Immortal Reverend, and you are saying these words to persuade me?"

Chu Ning had judged the identity of the old man. It was very likely that he was the man behind the scenes who manipulated those blood-red figures. Now that he had entered here, these blood-red figures could not deal with him and could only use persuasion.

"When I was your age, I had the same thoughts as you. It was enough to live until the end of my life. After all, compared to those monks, we are already favored by heaven."

"But people will eventually change. When you have witnessed the changes of the times, when you are really old, especially when you have the opportunity to live your life again, do you still want to end it like this?"

"I'm not at that age yet, so I don't think about these things." Chu Ning said directly.

The old man obviously didn't expect Chu Ning to answer like this. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Chu Ning, a disciple of Danshan Sect and the heir of the mysterious mountain sect, guarded the destiny of the Central Region, but was suppressed by other forces. In order to protect himself, he had to pretend that he was dying. Don't you feel aggrieved and have you never thought about revenge?"

"What revenge do I need? I have killed all those who wanted to deal with me. I have already taken revenge. As for those forces, even though I cannot defeat them now, I can always rely on my lifespan to outlast them."

elder:……

"If I were to be reborn, I would be able to live another 20,000 years. By then, I would definitely be the number one person in the Cavernous Realm. I could rewrite the rules of the cultivator world and accept you as my disciple. Whether it's the Soul Realm or the Nine Heavens Holy Land, I could eradicate them for you."

After a while, the old man threw out the bait.

"I can also teach you a method to live again. When your lifespan is truly exhausted, you can use this method to live again. You will have as many years of life in this life as you lived in your previous life."

"I will not take the lives of your friends. With me as your backer, no one in the North will dare to touch you."

Chu Ning had a look of excitement on his face, and said seriously: "It's really attractive, but it doesn't impress me."

Boom! A flame suddenly appeared on the canals, instantly evaporating all the blood in the canals.

"Why?" The old man looked puzzled. "Are you standing up for those irrelevant people?"

Chu Ning shook his head: "I'm not that saintly."

"Why is that?"

"Because you know the secret of my longevity." Chu Ning looked at the old man: "If you can live a second life, you will think of ways to live a third life. I'm afraid you will set your sights on me."

The puzzled look on the old man's face disappeared, and he smiled bitterly: "You think more clearly than I do, but you are still a step behind."

The old man's figure disappeared, and the next moment, the red hanging coffin burst into light. Chu Ning only felt a blood-red color all around him, and the next moment he fell into darkness.
