Chapter 6: Watching the Immortals Fight
Endless Ruins, located in the easternmost part of the Great Xuan Nation, is bottomless and is covered by thick fog all year round. If you accidentally fall into it, you will definitely end up with no remains left.
No one knows what lies beneath the abyss. Even birds have disappeared, and it has been a forbidden area for humans for many years.
Li Fan knew from the last simulation that the thick fog above Xuyuan would disperse every fifteen years. Today, he came to Xuyuan just to see it with his own eyes.
After all, if his guess was correct, the two immortal cultivators, Daoxuanzi and Kou Hong, most likely came to this immortal place through Xuyuan.
Li Fan stood silently, looking at the daunting endless abyss not far away, waiting patiently.
After an unknown amount of time, the thick white fog that exuded an eternal aura finally changed.
“Woo…”
It seemed as if there was a low howl of an ancient beast coming from below. When the sound gradually became louder, everyone could hear it clearly. It turned out to be the sound of the wind!
The thick white fog was stirred, creating ripples.
Then the wind grew stronger and stronger, and a large amount of white mist was forced to gush out from the abyss, like a reverse waterfall, rushing straight into the sky.
Such a strong wind lasted for half an hour before the thick fog dissipated.
Li Fan looked solemn. He took out a telescope and looked towards the bottom of the abyss.
At first, the bottom of the abyss was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Gradually, little bits of light appeared.
After a long time, a bright light appeared at the bottom of the abyss, and an inverted scene like a mirage came into Li Fan's eyes.
According to the intelligence, the scene at the bottom of the abyss looks different to everyone.
The scene before Li Fan made him feel extremely shocked.
A dilapidated mountain gate, with collapsed buildings everywhere. The cracked ground and walls were filled with traces of swords and magic attacks.
There are also several areas that seem to be stained with blood, showing a strange dark red color.
The scattered corpses and weapons on the ground seemed to be silently telling of a disaster that happened many years ago.
Li Fan was filled with shock. He turned his head and saw four large characters carved on the smooth cliff of a cliff.
"The way to immortality is dead!"
The four characters were black and red, as if they were written in blood.
Even though he was at an unknown distance, when he saw these four big words, Li Fan could still feel the unspeakable fear and despair contained in them.
"The immortal path is dead... What kind of change happened here? What happened in the entire world of immortal cultivation?" Li Fan was immersed in it and remained silent for a long time.
…
The fog only dissipated for half a day before it began to condense again, and Li Fan returned to Xuanjing.
After that, time passed and soon it was the fifty-year anniversary.
On this day, it was Li Fan’s 70th birthday, and thousands of soldiers in Xuanjing City were on high alert.
"Dao Xuanzi! Don't go too far!"
Kou Hong turned around and shouted angrily, then flew over Xuanjing City.
However, before Dao Xuanzi could respond, a series of voices came from below and echoed throughout Xuanjing.
"My dear Kou Hong, we have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of Immortal Master Dao Xuanzi!"
Along with the sound, there was also a barrage of bullets.
Caught off guard, Kou Hong was hit directly.
"How is this possible? Did Daoxuanzi know that I was going to escape here? When did he become so scheming?!" Kou Hong was shocked and angry.
And then, Kou Hong was horrified to find that his spiritual power was being rapidly consumed while resisting these magical weapons. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, Kou Hong immediately understood.
"Immortal and mortal miasma!? Daoxuanzi, you are so despicable!" Kou Hong looked at Daoxuanzi who came later with an incredulous look, as if he was meeting this close friend whom he had known for a hundred years for the first time.
Daoxuanzi was a little confused at this moment.
"What's wrong with these mortals? Why did they attack Kou Hong under my name? They even use immortal and mortal miasma?" The incident happened suddenly, and Daoxuanzi's brain crashed for a moment.
But looking at Kou Hong who was already in extreme anger not far away, Dao Xuanzi suddenly shuddered.
"Something is weird here! Kou Hong, these mortals were not ordered by me!" Daoxuanzi explained hurriedly.
"What? You dare to do it but not admit it?" Kou Hong laughed in anger. "Are you afraid that if the news of your use of the Immortal Mortal Miasma gets out, all the cultivators will unite to hunt you down? Or are you more worried that the good reputation you have cultivated for a hundred years will be ruined in an instant?"
Daoxuanzi was familiar with his brother's temper and knew that he had lost his mind at the moment. He was afraid that he would not listen to anything he said.
Daoxuanzi vaguely felt that he had fallen into a trap.
The strange atmosphere here made him feel a great sense of crisis.
It is not wise to fight with Kou Hong at this moment.
Therefore, he patiently explained to Kou Hong: "We have known each other for a hundred years. When have you ever seen me tell a lie? This is definitely not the case..."
However, before he could finish his words, an old voice suddenly came from all directions, interrupting him abruptly.
"Why has Immortal Master Daoxuanzi turned against me? Didn't we agree that as long as we help you kill Kou Hong here and seize his Jindan technique, you will lead my people away from this immortal land?" His voice sounded aggrieved and a little resentful.
"Dan Jie Gong method?!" Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi's faces changed at the same time when they heard this.
"You still say it's not you! Apart from you and me, who else in this world would know about this!" Kou Hong's hair and beard stood up, and he seemed to be extremely angry.
"This person actually knows about the Core Forming Technique..." Daoxuanzi's heart sank completely.
The voice below was still talking to itself: "You know, we have aroused public anger because of the immortal miasma you mentioned. Now the people of the world are boiling with resentment. If the immortal master cannot keep his word and take us out, I am afraid that it will not be long before my people will die without a burial place!"
Dao Xuanzi was upset by the slander and shouted, "Shameless villain, shut up!"
He flew towards the source of the sound, trying to find the mastermind behind it, but he only saw a strange rectangular object. The sound came from it. Similar things were scattered throughout Xuanjing City, and there was no way to know how many there were!
“Too cautious…” Daoxuanzi was extremely helpless.
"Does the Immortal Master want to kill people now to silence them?" Some sarcastic words continued to be heard from inside.
Daoxuanzi gnashed his teeth and crushed it to pieces with one hand.
But in Kou Hong's eyes, it looked like Dao Xuanzi was so angry and humiliated after being exposed that he wanted to kill people to silence them.
Kou Hong raised his head and howled, "Dao Xuanzi! We have known each other for a hundred years, but I misjudged you! Don't you want the Dan-forming technique? Why do you have to resort to so many despicable means? I won't run away, come and get it if you have the guts!"
"Taoism: Flame Dragon's Rage!"
An enraged fire dragon surrounded Kou Hong, roaring loudly.
The fire dragon glared ahead, spitting out a long red flame from its mouth, and rushed straight towards Dao Xuanzi.
Dao Xuanzi sighed helplessly, and with a soft hum, a flying sword appeared out of thin air from behind him, turning into a white light and heading towards Chi Yan.
