Undying Life

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Ascension to Immortality

Before Huiguang the Arhat could even react, he was swallowed.

Swallowed so directly.

In the Niwan Palace, the Eight Extreme Heavenly Tail was extremely satisfied, patting its belly with two of its tails in a thoroughly contented manner.

Then, it quickly began to digest the primordial spirit of the Huangji Realm expert.

The Eight Extreme Heavenly Tail was too powerful!

Its monstrous aspect lay in the fact that as soon as it swallowed the Huangji Realm expert, after just a slight tremor, it was basically already refined. And this was when the Eight Extreme Heavenly Tail was at its weakest.

All eight tails of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Tail swayed gently, and Zhongshan's divine consciousness suddenly expanded.

"Buzz~~~"

Directly through Ada's shield, it extended outward.

And with a wave of her divine consciousness, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth crazily gathered towards Zhongshan, surging into her body in vast quantities.

Countless spiritual energies quickly entered her body, transforming into true essence and then into pure Yang energy.

The great sword was placed between Zhongshan's legs, while Ada quickly withdrew the shield and kept a wary eye on Nian Youyou.

Nian Youyou seemed to understand Ada's vigilance and quickly stepped back, with Ada following suit.

Leaving Zhongshan alone to absorb spiritual energy frantically.

Terrifying spiritual energy rapidly tempered Zhongshan's body.

And after transforming into pure Yang energy within her body, it was also released.

Lightning, lightning surrounded Zhongshan's body.

More and more lightning gathered around Zhongshan's body, tempering her body and the great sword. In an instant, Zhongshan was enveloped in a huge ball of lightning, thunderstorms raging all around, with numerous lightning bolts descending from the sky.

The Lightning Purgatory Pure Yang Technique!

Within a hundred yards, countless lightning bolts rained down madly. Even the magma frozen into ice was shattered by the thunderstorms.

"The Seventh Layer of the Golden Core?" Nian Youyou's eyes widened.

This, this was all too unbelievable. The Seventh Layer of the Golden Core? Just a moment ago she was possessed, and now she's refining it?

Was she still human? That was a Huangji Realm expert, the Huiguang Arhat. And now she's refined him into herself?

Nian Youyou was astonished, but wasn't Ada equally surprised? Or rather, Ada was more aware of Zhongshan's cultivation speed. Zhongshan's aptitude was so poor that it was heartbreaking to look at, but her cultivation speed was something that made people conflicted.

This was the Master, a true marvel of the world!

Nian Youyou's eyes turned, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ada continued to guard carefully.

Two hours later, Zhongshan's body shook lightly.

"Boom~~~"

Endless lightning, like a tsunami, surged in all directions from Zhongshan's center.

Ice rocks shattered, even hitting a mountain. It was as if a super explosion had occurred in all directions, everything destroyed, with a wave of air like a sea and waves rushing in all directions.

Success!

Zhongshan took a deep breath, opened her eyes gently, and stood up with a slight smile.

The Seventh Layer of the Golden Core!

Breaking through again, Zhongshan's divine consciousness now covered a diameter of five hundred meters. It was truly a major breakthrough. If there were more people like Huiguang the Arhat, wouldn't that be wonderful?

But Zhongshan also knew that such people were few and far between. How many Huangji Realm experts were there? And how many of them were willing to sacrifice their physical bodies?

"Congratulations, Master!" Ada flew over immediately to congratulate her.

"Hehe!" Zhongshan nodded in satisfaction.

"Zhongshan, did you refine Huiguang?" Nian Youyou flew over to inquire.

"It's just luck," Zhongshan shook her head.

"I've decided, from now on, I'll follow you every day," Nian Youyou suddenly said.

"Huh? Miss Youyou, why?" Zhongshan furrowed her brow.

"Call me Youyou!" Nian Youyou said.

"Alright, Youyou, the matter of the spiritual energy here is over, why are you still following me?" Zhongshan furrowed her brow.

Nian Youyou pretended to be concerned about Zhongshan, and Zhongshan wouldn't show her true feelings. At this point, she should do what she needed to do.

"You still have the nerve to say that the roses from before should have been mine!" Nian Youyou wouldn't let it go.

"I promised, and I'll definitely do it. Don't worry, I'll find three thousand different roses for you in the future," Zhongshan said.

"No, no, what if you forget? Following you can remind you at all times. Besides, I've noticed that wherever you go, something big happens, just like a plague god," Nian Youyou said with a smile.

Plague god? Zhongshan broke out in a cold sweat!

"Is it okay?" Nian Youyou suddenly grabbed Zhongshan's sleeve and shook it, looking pitiful.

Zhongshan's hair stood on end, and she quickly pulled her sleeve back, saying, "Alright! But don't interfere with what I do."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Nian Youyou immediately said with a smile.

Although Nian Youyou was insincere towards herself, Zhongshan knew that having an Huangji Realm expert by her side, as long as she handled it properly, would mean an extra level of safety. Although it was inconvenient, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, so Zhongshan readily agreed.

"By the way, we saw a lot of people when we came here earlier. Where did they all go?" Zhongshan asked.

Before entering the volcano, there were the forces of the Great Deer King, as well as the people from various sects, but when they came up just now, they were all gone.

"They're dead! All dead!" Ada said.

"Dead?" Zhongshan was surprised.

"Yes, there are still some bodies over there. Master, do you want to take a look?" Ada asked.

"Let's go!" Zhongshan nodded.

Then, the three of them quickly flew towards a valley in the distance.

There were ten bodies in the valley, but these bodies were strangely desiccated.

Mummies! Ten mummies!

"These are the subordinates of the Great Deer King!" Zhongshan frowned.

"They're dead, their blood has been drained, not just these ten, all the bodies around here have had their blood drained. They've turned into mummies!" Ada said.

"What's going on?" Zhongshan frowned.

"It's a Demon of Retribution, created by the Great Wei Tianlong Bodhisattva!" Nian Youyou said.

"Demon of Retribution? Is that the dark red thing? What is it?" Zhongshan asked.

"It's the qi of resentment, gathered over countless years, forming a bit of intelligence, and then becoming a Demon of Retribution. The life of a Demon of Retribution is to cause mischief. This kind of Demon of Retribution sucks human blood. It wants to suck the blood of countless people to make itself powerful, powerful enough to defy the heavenly might. The Great Wei Tianlong Bodhisattva let it loose, and this karmic retribution will be counted on his head. For every ten misdeeds the Demon of Retribution commits, one-tenth will be counted against the Great Wei Tianlong Bodhisattva. By then, countless karmic forces will entangle him and pull him down from the position of Bodhisattva." Nian Youyou said with malicious pleasure.

"So, this means that chaos is about to erupt in the Four Directions?" Zhongshan said.

"It should be!" Nian Youyou said.

"Hmm!" Zhongshan showed a hint of a sinister smile.

"Let's go, back to the Yu Heng Sect," Zhongshan said.

"Mm," Ada immediately carried Zhongshan on the clouds.

"Zhongshan, you still haven't told me, what did the immortal say to you down there? Who is she? How do you know each other? Why did she only look for you?" Nian Youyou immediately asked.

"Maybe I'm just more handsome?" Zhongshan was in a very good mood and joked.

Hearing Zhongshan's words, Ada and Nian Youyou were speechless for a while—

"Awoo~~"

"Awoo~~"

... At that moment, most of the wolves in the world suddenly looked up at the sky, roaring excitedly one by one.

On Wolf Island, in all directions, whether they were idle wolves or cavalry wolves, they all howled excitedly.

On the land of Shenzhou, countless places were filled with endless howls of wolves, all infinitely excited.

Because at that moment, all the wolves in the world suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Many wolves knew that it was because their young master, the young master Xian Xian, had come of age! At that moment, he had reached the Golden Core stage.

Young Master, Young Master Xian Xian!

In the Great Dong Kingdom, Zhongshan also stood on a high terrace, watching countless demonic wolves howl towards the sky with infinite excitement.

Zhongshan quickly went to the place where the Qingyun Wolf General was.

At this moment, the Qingyun Wolf General was also excitedly standing outside the main hall, looking towards the distant east.

"Qingyun, did Xian Xian reach the Golden Core stage?" Zhongshan asked directly.

"Mm," Qingyun Wolf General nodded—

Three days after returning to the Yu Heng Sect.

Sitting in a side hall, holding a small jade slip in his hand, this was left to him by Zixun. At that time, Zixun was forcibly fused with that rose, and then quickly returned to the Yu Heng Sect, throwing a jade slip to Liu Suifeng, and then left immediately, leaving no trace.

The jade slip was left to Zhongshan.

After reading it, Zhongshan found that there were only five words inside.

Be careful of Nian Youyou!

Be careful of Nian Youyou, this was a warning from Zixun to Zhongshan. Looking at this exquisite small jade slip, Zhongshan smiled slightly. Was she caring about him?

At this moment, someone also walked in from outside the hall and picked up the jade slip. Zhongshan looked at the newcomer.

It was Liu Wushuang!

"Wushuang pays respects to Master!" Liu Wushuang bowed respectfully to Zhongshan.

"What's the matter, have you made up your mind?" Zhongshan smiled and asked.

"Yes, Wushuang has decided to follow Master from now on, to create a great career, and hopes that Master will fulfill his wish!" Liu Wushuang knelt down with one knee.

Halfway through kneeling down, Zhongshan stepped forward and held him up, saying, "Good, I've been waiting for this moment here for these days."

"Thank you, Master!" Liu Wushuang said moved.

"Great talents mature late, and often achieve higher accomplishments. From today onwards, you will call me Grand Marshal! At that time, you will lead the wolf cavalry of the Zhihuo Mountain Range and follow me to conquer the world," Zhongshan exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, Grand Marshal, it's just that leading the wolf pack of the Zhihuo Mountain Range..." Liu Wushuang showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Don't worry, it's different now from before. I'm confident now that I can take away all the demonic wolves of the Zhihuo Mountain Range," Zhongshan said with absolute certainty.

"Uh? Okay!" Liu Wushuang hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed.
