Chapter 8: Immortals and Mortals Separated Forever
In the sky, a strange vision appears again!
A giant sword that has been tempered thousands of times has been placed in the dark and no one has cared about it for thousands of years.
As time goes by, its sword body is no longer bright, its blade is no longer sharp, and its entire body is covered with rust!
However, a feeling of anger and unwillingness suddenly arose!
The rust became more and more serious, but the magic and majesty of the giant sword also increased day by day!
"The foundation-building cultivator Daoxuanzi has been practicing Taoism for 201 years and achieved the foundation of Taoism with the rare item [Rusty Sword Daoxuan]. In the land of immortals, he fought with others and was eventually killed by the foundation-building cultivator Kou Hong."
"Now that I am dead, my Dao has disappeared and I will return it to Heaven!"
The gorgeous scene lit up the sky for thousands of miles like fireworks.
"Daoxuanzi..." Kou Hong looked up at the magnificent scene, seemed to be completely stunned, and kept muttering to himself.
All the soldiers present also looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
"I am Li Fan, honored to meet the Immortal Master."
At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, walked tremblingly to Kou Hong.
Kou Hong ignored him, and Li Fan was not in a hurry either. He stood aside and waited, while signaling the soldiers to wait patiently.
After a long time, when the strange vision in the sky faded away, Kou Hong looked at Li Fan.
"Are you the leader of the mortals here?" Kou Hong's tone was stiff, and he obviously didn't have a good impression of Li Fan. "The voice that was heard everywhere before was you, right?"
"My tricks are insignificant and not worthy of the Immortal Master's attention." Li Fan cupped his hands, avoiding talking about the matter, and bowed directly: "I beg the Immortal Master to have mercy and save the lives of more than a thousand people in my clan."
"Mercy..." Kou Hong sneered at the words. "When Daoxuanzi and I fight, it's all based on our own abilities. Life and death are left to fate. You, a mere mortal, actually interfere in the fight between us cultivators."
He looked at Li Fan, his words showing his murderous intent: "Speaking of which, although Daoxuanzi and I fought to the death for the Dan-forming technique, he is at least my brother for over a hundred years. Now that you have plotted against him, should I kill you to avenge Daoxuanzi?"
Li Fan ignored Kou Hong's aggressiveness and just smiled bitterly: "It's just a glimmer of hope! As I said before, if the Immortal Master is defeated, my people will surely die."
Kou Hong's expression relaxed when he heard this. He sighed softly, "What a hope for survival. You are right. The world is difficult, and everyone is struggling for that glimmer of hope."
Seeing Kou Hong's tone soften, Li Fan quickly said, "Master Daoxuan... promised me that if..."
Before he finished speaking, Kou Hong frowned and interrupted him: "If this is the case, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Dao Xuanzi may not have intended to fulfill his promise from the beginning."
Li Fan was stunned: "What do you mean by this, Master?"
Kou Hong said with a hint of sarcasm: "Dao Xuanzi has been serious and adamant in front of people for hundreds of years. No one would have imagined that he actually has no bottom line and even deceives ordinary people."
He paused, looked at Li Fan's face, and then said, "The Absolute Immortal Array is so dangerous. It was a bit of luck that the two of us were able to break in before. It would take a lot of effort for us to leave, so how could we possibly take a mortal away?"
"What? You don't know how to leave this place?" Li Fan was shocked and his face turned ugly. After more than a hundred years of expectation was rejected by the immortal cultivator in front of him, Li Fan's mentality almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Li Fan had been tempered for several lifetimes and had a strong mind. He calmed down and said to Kou Hong, "This is not the place to talk. Master, please follow me."
As he spoke, he led Kou Hong through the ruins of Xuanjing City for a while and came to an underground bunker.
When Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi were fighting, the soldiers in the city hid in these bunkers. There were hundreds of similar bunkers of various sizes in Xuanjing City.
Although the bunker is deep underground, it is still as bright as day due to the lighting. There are also ventilation ducts connecting to the outside world, so it is not stuffy.
Kou Hong looked at the lights on the ceiling with interest and praised, "No wonder Dao Xuanzi sought cooperation with mortals like you before. Being able to restrain and utilize the power of thunder and lightning, it seems that you mortals in the Immortal Land have developed quite well over the past thousands of years. And the hidden weapons before were also quite powerful."
Then, he shook his head again: "What a pity, these magic tools are only useful in this place where the Great Dao is incomplete. Outside of this place, under the oppression of the Great Dao's laws, these things are useless."
"Come to think of it, when did Daoxuanzi find you and ask you to plot against me here? The timing doesn't match? Could it be that he secretly practiced the art of clone creation?" Kou Hong suddenly remembered something and asked.
Li Fan remained calm and was about to answer, but saw Kou Hong suddenly lose interest and waved his hand: "Forget it, why bother about this matter. After death, everything is empty." After saying that, he sat down on the chair, looking quite depressed. It seemed that he was hit hard by Dao Xuanzi's death.
"It's best not to ask about this matter. If I say too much, there will inevitably be some loopholes." Li Fan said to himself.
Then he asked Kou Hong with a look of trepidation: "Master, you said before that it is impossible to take mortals away from this immortal land. Is this true?"
Kou Hong sneered: "You are just a mortal, why would I lie to you? Perhaps a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage can protect a mortal and help him pass through the Absolute Immortal Formation, but if it is only the foundation-building stage, it is impossible!"
"Of course, if you don't mind leaving only a few pieces after you go out, I'm willing to give it a try."
Ignoring Kou Hong's not-so-funny joke, Li Fan asked without giving up, "Is it possible that mortals like us have no hope of leaving this world?"
Kou Hong thought about it and shook his head. "If you want to leave the Land of Immortals, you must break through the Great Array of Immortals. With a mere mortal body, there is no way to break through. Any attempt is just to seek death. Besides, you are already half buried in the ground, why are you still so persistent to leave here? Isn't it good to be a local emperor?"
Kou Hong looked disapproving.
"It doesn't matter if I die, but I still want to leave something behind for my descendants." Li Fan did not give up and asked again, "If my descendants can cultivate to the foundation-building stage like the immortal master, then wouldn't it be possible for them to leave here?"
Kou Hong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Not to mention that there is no spiritual energy here, it is impossible to cultivate. Just to say that immortals and mortals are forever separated, the mortals here are covered with miasma, how can they cultivate immortality?"
Kou Hong sneered and said, "I advise you to give up this idea. If you mortals want to practice, you have to go to the outside world to reshape your body and wash away the miasma. Otherwise, even if the road to immortality is placed in front of you, you can only see it but not touch it."
Kou Hong was so confident in answering several questions in a row, and Li Fan finally seemed to give up.
"The immortals and mortals are separated forever, the immortals and mortals are separated forever..." Li Fan muttered to himself in a state of despair, "So, there is really no way out?"
"Really not." Seeing that Li Fan was extremely depressed, Kou Hong was in a good mood for some reason.
"Really not." He repeated.
"Just as the immortal master said, immortals and mortals are separated forever." Li Fan sighed.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Kou Hong nodded repeatedly.
Li Fan seemed to be hit by this cruel fact. He looked a little dazed and said goodbye and left.
The moment I walked out of the bunker, the door slammed shut.
Kou Hong's expression changed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
But it was too late.
Rolling white mist containing immortal and mortal miasma gushed out from all over the room.
"ah!"
Kou Hong let out a scream and was submerged in the thick fog.
Outside the bunker, Li Fan looked dimly and said slowly, "Since immortals and mortals cannot coexist."
"Then how can I, a mere mortal, trust what you say completely?"
