Invincible Dad-Chapter 521 521: Want to outnumber others?_1
As Yao Wanshan spoke, his gaze was firmly locked on the Holy Master of Purple Smoke. He felt that this friend, whom he had known for tens of thousands of years, had suddenly become incredibly mysterious. He was once a material for Artifact Refining in the Emperor Realm, yet after countless years of sedimentation, he had actually developed Divine Sense and even cultivated to the Immortal Venerable Realm. If word of this were to spread to the Immortal Domain, it would likely cause countless waves of strife! Even that supreme being in the Heavenly Court would probably be moved. After all, anything related to the Emperor Realm was no small matter.
"Palace Master Yao, I came today to be frank with you," the Holy Master of Purple Smoke said solemnly. "I want to cooperate with you on this trip to the Mass Burial Mound and explore the site of the Emperor's Demise together!"
"The site of the Emperor's Demise?" Yao Wanshan's expression became incredulous once more.
"The corpse there was once a Great Emperor. Although his consciousness dissipated after death, he managed to live a second life," the Holy Master of Purple Smoke said, narrowing his eyes. "What do you think of this information, Palace Master Yao?"
"It's priceless!" Yao Wanshan's breathing grew rapid.
A living being's lifespan was limited. After death, the body dispersed and the soul underwent reincarnation. This was true even for those in the Emperor Realm, who only had a lifespan of one million years. But now, there was a cultivator who had lived a second life—and had been a Great Emperor in both. Could they, the Immortal Venerables and Quasi-Emperors, follow suit? Absolutely no one could resist the temptation of eternal life!
"Over the years, many people have been after me, wanting to refine me into a Magical Treasure. Only you, Palace Master Yao," the Holy Master of Purple Smoke said with emotion, "have been a true friend. That's why I want to join forces with you to explore the Mass Burial Mound."
Those who murder and burn are rewarded with wealth, while those who build bridges and repair roads are left with nothing but bones. Ever since Yao Wanshan stepped into the Cultivation World, he had committed his fair share of wicked deeds; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his current position. In his early years, he had even ambushed the Holy Master of Purple Smoke with other cultivators of the same realm, hoping to kill him for Artifact Refining. Yet now, the man was treating him like a confidant! For a moment, even the ruthless Yao Wanshan felt a pang of guilt, but it vanished as quickly as it came.
He said with a straight face, "Brother Purple Smoke, since you think so highly of me, why don't we become sworn brothers today?"
"Excellent!" the Holy Master of Purple Smoke boomed in response.
Just as the two slung their arms over each other's shoulders and laughed heartily, a series of deep bells suddenly rang out from above the Tianmo Palace branch.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The sound was so profound it felt as if it were striking one's very soul. A large number of Tianmo Palace disciples stationed at the branch shot into the sky, flying off into the distance.
"What happened?" Yao Wanshan, the Palace Master of Tianmo Palace, asked as he stopped a disciple.
"ing to the Palace Master, Senior Brother Baili Wushang has encountered aggressors and is calling for help from a hundred miles away," the disciple answered gravely.
A hundred miles away? Yao Wanshan squinted. That's right outside the Mass Burial Mound.
"Brother Yao, let's go take a look. We can enter the Mass Burial Mound from there," the Holy Master of Purple Smoke suggested.
"Very well." With his hands clasped behind his back, Yao Wanshan transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance alongside the Holy Master.
The eyes of the remaining Tianmo Palace disciples, as well as the few from the Purple Smoke Holy Lands, instantly lit up. "Hurry, the Palace Master is on his way!"
"And the Holy Master of Purple Smoke is with him! Heavens, are two Immortal Venerable experts about to make a move?"
"Quick, have the Elders activate the short-range Teleportation Formation! We absolutely cannot miss an Immortal Venerable in action! This is a great fortune and a rare opportunity!"
The disciples were in an uproar. Cultivators of the Immortal Venerable Realm stood at the apex of the Immortal Domain and rarely took action. The Elders of Tianmo Palace, most of whom were in the Venerable or Celestial Venerable Realm, were particularly excited. What they lacked most was enlightenment. If they could observe an Immortal Venerable fighting, they might gain a sudden insight and break through their current bottlenecks. Thus, all the disciples at the branch rushed toward the location a hundred miles away.
「One hundred miles away」
PFFT!
As Huang Fu thrust his Bloodshadow Spear, several more people fell dead. Soon, only one Tianmo Palace disciple remained: Baili Wushang, a Venerable Realm cultivator. The hedonistic cultivator's face was a mask of terror. He stumbled backward, his voice trembling as he pleaded, "You can't kill me! My brother is Baili Chongtai, the Saint Heir of the Tianmo Palace! If I die, you'll all die with me!"
WHOOSH!
Huang Fu's expression was like ice as he thrust his spear forward. A sky full of blood-colored phantoms coalesced into a terrifying beam of light that shot toward Baili Wushang. Despite being in the same realm, Baili Wushang had lost all will to resist. His legs trembled violently, and a puddle of yellow liquid spread from beneath him. Just as the overwhelming murderous aura was about to tear him to shreds, a cold, detached voice echoed from the distance.
"Who dares harm a disciple of my Tianmo Palace?"
The voice was calm, yet it possessed a magical quality that instantly shattered Huang Fu's ferocious attack.
In the distance, two figures approached at what seemed a leisurely pace, yet they arrived in an instant. It was Yao Wanshan and the Holy Master of Purple Smoke.
"Hmm?" Xu Lai and the Second Divine General, Baize, both raised their eyebrows, their gazes falling upon the Holy Master of Purple Smoke.
Even Yu Guiwan found herself drawn to the unique aura of the 'purple person'. Her cherry lips parted slightly. "What a large Purple Smoke Stone."
"Indeed. I am the Holy Master of the Purple Smoke Holy Lands," the Holy Master said cheerfully. "And who might you fellow cultivators be?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Divine General Baize cocked her head to the side. "Get lost, or I'll refine you into a weapon."
A dead silence fell over the area.
The disciples who had just arrived via the Teleportation Formation were stunned, and even Yao Wanshan, the Palace Master of Tianmo Palace, broke out in a cold sweat. The Holy Master of Purple Smoke was once a treasured item that belonged to the peerless existence in the Mass burial mound—a being who had been a Great Emperor across two lifetimes. His own combat strength was that of a true Immortal Venerable, and his physical body was of a toughness rarely seen in the world. Yet someone had just arrogantly declared they would refine him into a weapon?
"Audacious!" a disciple from the Purple Smoke Holy Lands trembled with rage. "How dare you, a mere woman, disrespect an Immortal Venerable! You're courting death!"
Baize turned to Xu Lai and asked, "Is being an Immortal Venerable such a big deal?"
"They're alright," Xu Lai replied.
Looking slightly hurt, Yu Guiwan muttered, "I feel a little insulted."
Xu Lai chuckled. "Senior Sister, your Immortal Venerable Realm is naturally different from theirs."
"You're also an Immortal Venerable?" The Holy Master of Purple Smoke's gaze shifted to Yu Guiwan. "No wonder you have the gall to kill Tianmo Palace disciples and provoke me."
"Palace Master!" Baili Wushang cried, his face a mask of grief. "I saw them acting suspiciously, so I came to investigate out of duty to the Tianmo Palace! But they... they showed our sect no respect at all! They insulted and provoked us, then they attacked! They even boasted that they killed my brother!"
"You really killed Baili Chongtai?" The Palace Master of Tianmo Palace's eyes grew cold. "I see. Only an Immortal Venerable could have acted without leaving a trace. To think we'd find you here after searching for so long."
"My brother... is dead?" Baili Wushang asked, dazed.
"He is," an Elder from Tianmo Palace sighed. "His life tablet shattered. We didn't have a chance to inform you."
BOOM!
The world seemed to crash down around Baili Wushang. "My brother can't be dead! How could he possibly be dead..."
But no one paid him any mind.
"You've killed our sect's Saint Heir and dozens of disciples and elders. You've also insulted my sworn brother, the Holy Master of Purple Smoke." Yao Wanshan said coolly, "If you don't give us a proper explanation today, you'll find that the Tianmo Palace is not to be trifled with."
"KILL! KILL! KILL!"
Behind him, the tens of thousands of Tianmo Palace disciples roared as one. The terrifying sound wave was like a physical Divine Sense attack.
"What, are we competing with numbers now?" Baize finally smiled.
