I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 386 - 305 Azure Dragon’s Body_2

A moment later.

The divine wind blew past, turning the cave dwelling into nothingness.

The ground soil and rocks rumbled as they stacked up on their own, forming a new Daoist temple. Three seal-script characters hung over the main entrance.

The Temple of Four Immortals!

Inside the temple, four human immortals from the Bu Tian Sect were venerated, their likenesses bearing a seventy percent resemblance to the ancient ancestors of the sect. On Zhou Yi’s suggestion, they did not use their obscure and hard-to-understand true names but were given approachable titles like God of Wealth, Marriage God, Child-Delivering God, Peace God...

The common people didn’t care what the immortals were called. All that mattered was that worshipping them could bring promotion, wealth, and peace!

Eight years later.

Another ten years had passed, bringing the time to distribute the incense.

Zhou Yi left Coiling Cloud Mountain and, after traveling through various places, returned to Heavenly Mountain, where he feasted with his fellow sect brothers for several days.

Originally, collecting incense offerings and Wish Power Beads by occupying mountains and rivers was done in secret, but now, with the approval of the four ancient ancestors, the once reserved fellow disciples began urging action to be taken more quickly.

In the Dongsheng Divine Continent, there were so many demons and ghosts causing trouble, and the common people suffered terribly, waiting for the people from Bu Tian Sect to rescue them!

Golden Light Hall.

Zhou Yi pacified the urging of his fellow disciples, promising to vanquish demons and slay monsters as quickly as possible, but then he voiced his doubts.

"Our sect’s ancient ancestors have already tacitly approved of this matter, so why don’t my fellow brothers seek out their own territories, slay the Demon Heads, and then self-appoint themselves as Mountain Gods? As long as the temples venerate the four ancient ancestors, this should not be a difficult thing to do!"

"Brother Zhu, you are unaware of something."

A Daoist under Xiao Yunzi said, "The Sect Leader has handed down an order prohibiting us from acting on our own. We must follow the plans laid out by you, Elder Brother!"

"I see."

Zhou Yi’s thoughts raced, unable to guess the Sect Leader’s intentions. But knowing the Iron Crown Immortal, his martial uncle, if there was any disadvantage, he would have spoken directly to him and would not stoop to deceiving his disciples.

"My fellow brothers, rest assured, the next target is already set!"

White Tiger Ridge!

A great mountain in the central part of Dongsheng Divine Continent, inhabited by four Nascent Soul old demons, who commanded considerable respect among demonic and heretical paths.

Bai Suixin had already devised a way to lure the four demons down from the mountain, falling into a pre-arranged Formation trap, whereupon the people from Bu Tian Sect would join forces and attack.

...

Two years later.

Golden Light Hall.

The roar of a dragon resounded, piercing the clouds.

A dragon more than thirty feet long flew out, circling the sky several times before descending back into the hall.

Its form swiftly shortened until it stood upright, transforming into the figure of Zhou Yi.

Bai Suixin rubbed his head. His soul trembled from the continuous deviations, leaving his memory somewhat unclear, "Junior brother, Crimson Feather Immortal, our ancestor, is summoning you back to the sect, saying there’s an important matter to instruct!"

Zhou Yi was startled at first, then he let go of the worry.

The Mind-Splitting Scripture has already yielded an exotic heart, kept in the Golden Light Hall. So even if something calamitous befalls the Severing Heaven Sect, no harm would come to his life.

This possibility was incredibly slim, yet he couldn’t overlook the need for precautions.

"I’ve been under master’s tutelage for nearly twenty years, always busy with investigating the secret matters of the Severing Heaven Sect and haven’t formally paid a visit to show respect. It seems I need to trouble master to send out decrees, my oversight indeed."

Zhou Yi nodded, "Then I shall find a reason to leave and go to the Severing Heaven blessed land to pay respects to master!"

Having spoken of official matters, Bai Suixin now turned to personal concerns, "Junior brother, those four demons are quite tricky to deal with. They might have caught wind of something or are frightened by the continuous fall of demon heads, so they’re stubbornly holed up on White Tiger Ridge and refuse to come down."

"I’ve tried several excuses, even invoking the ancestor’s name, but nothing could coax them."

"Senior brother has worked hard."

Zhou Yi said, "Those four demon heads, they can’t stir up too much trouble. If they won’t come down to be captured, then I’ll go up the mountain to seize them!"

Nascent Soul True Lords of the Severing Heaven Sect, each one incredibly powerful, could easily cleanse White Tiger Ridge. A promise to see the four demons die on the same day, the same month, and the same year would be fulfilled.

"Junior brother always handles matters completely, those demons should meet their fate."

Bai Suixin said, "The Black Wind Demon Monarch has died, and the heads of the Yin-Yang Dao are inquiring about the cause everywhere. I’ve connected with a few of them over the years, and we’ve established a fiery rapport. Looking for a chance to eliminate them one by one!"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, aware that the sect master had been informed about the demonic sect’s affairs and had received full support.

The tussle between the Severing Heaven and Severing Sky Sect was a clash of ideals, yet both sides acknowledged each other as orthodoxies of the Xuanmen. But against genuine demonic cultivators, the stance was always to exterminate them without mercy.

The Yin-Yang Dao was an important branch of the demonic path. If the roots could be traced through a few demon heads and the branch entirely eradicated, it would be a great merit!

"Senior brother must be very careful when dealing with demon heads and not reveal your tracks. After all, our sect is also a sworn enemy of the demonic path," Zhou Yi said, taking out a pill from his sleeve. Black, foul-smelling, and unappealing, he offered, "This pill is called Barrier Breaker. I obtained it from the tomb of an ancient sage, said to break all sorts of nightmares and curses.

Would you like to try it?"

"Barrier Breaker?"

Bai Suixin took the pill, nearly gagged from the smell, and took a tentative lick, finding the taste strangely familiar. Memories of jumping into a manure pit to evade the chase of beasts came to mind...

"Phooey, phooey, phooey! Junior brother Zhou, you can’t be serious."

"Just give it a try, brother."

Zhou Yi himself did not know the ingredients of this pill, most likely nothing pleasant. However, the Iron Crown Immortal had assured that taking it could resolve Bai Suixin’s curse.

After much hesitation, Bai Suixin, tormented by the curse of nightmares and fearing a day when qi deviation would be irreversible, swallowed the pill despite the nausea.

Once the pill was ingested, it dissolved, exuding a nauseating scent that surged out with each breath.

"Ugh! This..."

Just as Bai Suixin was about to curse the deceiving sage, his soul unexpectedly felt relaxed and free. The intangible shackles burst open.

"This pill is delicious!"

"As long as it works," Zhou Yi said, covering his nose and mouth. He reminded Bai Suixin, "Senior brother, be more careful with your words from now on, especially regarding matters of the immortal ancestor. Should you encounter someone petty..."
