CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 60: SLAYING IMMORTALS, SEIZING THEIR DANTIAN

The number of passing cultivators is increasing, primarily from the Three Elements Pavilion.

"Junior Brother, be careful."

Qu Ai transmitted thoughts to stop Li Mo, then hid underground using the cover of the Gobi, while Li Mo communicated with the Kun Whale to slowly merge into the clouds.

The two chose to use divine sense communication to first scout the situation.

Li Mo felt puzzled, mumbling to himself, "If the Immortal Realm has always been experiencing world-altering events, why would it descend to the mortal world now?"

Perhaps in the eyes of large sects, the Immortal Realm might be about to repeat the chaos of the world-altering event, but the real truth should be far more complex than imagined.

The Immortal and Mortal Realms are isolated; the fall of the Ancestor Court must have deeper truths.

"It’s getting harder and harder to handle."

Li Mo frowned slightly. The upheaval sweeping through the mortal world is already troublesome. If the Immortal Realm suddenly gets involved, how many people will die and have their Dao disappear because of it...

Can I escape this calamity, or use the disaster to become immortal in one fell swoop?

No.

I will undoubtedly achieve immortality and the Dao.

Li Mo’s eyes were filled with sharpness; his goal is to transcend the Immortal and Mortal Realms. No matter what happens, his Dao heart remains unwavering as a rock.

He closed his eyes and transmitted thoughts to Tian Changwen, instructing him to withdraw forces without holding back.

Li Mo needs the Creation Sect to utilize all its manpower to develop the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, even including the underground meteorite.

"Eleventh Senior Sister, where is Senior Sister Si Rui from the Si Rui Pavilion?"

Li Mo’s Cave God’s Eye scanned the Ancestor Court, but he didn’t notice Si Rui Pavilion’s presence, though Zhibai Dao, where Si Rui was, had participated.

Qu Ai’s expression turned serious, her gaze flickering as if she was contemplating something secretly.

Li Mo understood and did not disturb her.

He realized Qu Ai was likely using the unique heart and mind of the Twelve Immortals to communicate; plans related to the Ancestor Court probably couldn’t keep up with the changes.

"Junior Brother, Eighth Senior Sister has already stepped into the Ancestor Court. You cover me as I go to the Ancestor Court."

"What do you mean?"

Li Mo glanced around the Ancestor Court, currently housing eight large sects on the mountains, including Qu Ai’s Yellow Dragon Mountain, but excluding the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Every mountain had a Land Immortal; however, those responsible for setting up the mountains were at the Void Refining Stage.

Qu Ai coldly explained, "Only exiles who have self-identified with certain names can enter the Ancestor Court. If nothing unexpected happens, there have been 236 people stepping inside."

"These 236 people share a common trait; their cultivation does not exceed the Void Refining Stage."

"What happens with duplicate names?"

"Try one by one; see how they manage."

Li Mo focused on the Ancestor Court. Indeed, some cultivators were driving the crowd towards meat lumps, ultimately leaving all as nourishment for the Ancestor Court’s corpses.

The corpses were like water ghosts, grabbing live people to ravenously gnaw at their flesh and bones.

Qu Ai chuckled, "Look across the cultivation world; only a few cultivators like us are Land Immortals and yet have a spot."

"Immortal Body?"

"That’s right, it’s the Immortal Body."

Qu Ai confidently said, "The immortals within the Ancestor Court are just selecting their reincarnated body; it’s just that most mortals are not up to their standards."

Being recognized by the exiles requires cultivators with top-tier Taoist Body talent.

"Then why are you..."

Without hesitation, Qu Ai said, "For slaying immortals, those immortals are utterly unfit for the mortal realm’s environment, so they hide in the Snail Dojo."

"Taking the upper, middle, and lower Three Elixir Fields can be crafted into spiritual treasures that aid in ascension. Our First Senior Sister assigned the three of us to the Ancestor Court, and each can take one of the Three Elixir Fields."

Li Mo’s mouth opened slightly, but he remembered that the Twelve Immortals came from the era ten thousand years ago.

They had witnessed the sight of immortals as ants and naturally bore no reverence, immediately scheming for the immortal organs.

Qu Ai’s dragon eyes were full of mockery, "They think the Ancestor Court is a place for immortals granting enlightenment; little did they know, the immortals don’t even care about them."

Li Mo nodded slightly.

After observing for a long time, indeed, some cultivators left the Ancestor Court, as if there was no danger within.

"Eighth Senior Sister is unravelling a formation within the Ancestor Court and is currently stuck. I must immediately go and support her; would you lend a hand, Junior Brother?"

Without waiting for Li Mo to respond, Qu Ai spoke again, "Rest assured, if you are unwilling to participate in slaying immortals, First Senior Sister will send others; she doesn’t wish to trouble you."

"No problem, what should I do?"

With the Double Immortal Body, Li Mo could sense that Qu Ai harbored no malice.

Around the Ancestor Court, there is indeed residual aura from a type of shifting array, which should be how Si Rui Pavilion quietly sneaked into the Ancestor Court using a formation.

And the immortal elixir fields have great use for Li Mo.

The Heavenly Dao Page is not omnipotent; when activating word-to-law, Li Mo must be specific to ensure the Heavenly Dao Page doesn’t speak insincerely, while also limiting the scope of the wish.

If one ascends to the Upper Realm, the importance of the immortal elixir fields is self-evident.

"I’ll head to the Ancestor Court first; stay outside and don’t rush in. I’ll contact you when Si Rui Pavilion and I are about to unravel the formation."

"Senior Sister, I also have insight into array Tao."

"It’s different."

Qu Ai did not belittle Li Mo’s understanding of array Tao, after all, his talent in cultivation techniques far surpassed that of the Twelve Immortals.

"The upper realm’s formations are extremely cunning. If Eighth Senior Sister wasn’t relying on the Cave Void Immortal Eye, with our Body Integration Realm cultivation, even if we understood the array Tao, we couldn’t shake the immortal arrays."

Li Mo raised an eyebrow.

It felt as if the Twelve Immortals were extremely familiar with the Ancestor Court, giving the illusion that they had prepared everything in advance for it.

The other forces likely had no idea there were living immortals inside the Ancestor Court, only assuming it contained resources and inheritance from the Upper Realm.

"Let’s force our way in. They won’t allow you and me to approach the Ancestor Court, but at most the Land Immortals stationed at the Ancestor Court are at the Mahayana Realm."

Most Land Immortals are focused on the world-altering event.

The great momentum of the world-altering event is sweeping in, difficult to change its repeated fate; various forces wouldn’t expend too much energy because of the Ancestor Court.

"Wait."

Li Mo pondered as he scrutinized the mountain range distribution.

"The Land Immortal in Medicine King Valley is at the Body Integration Realm, but the Pill Cultivation is evasive and not the first choice for action; Three Elements Pavilion has many enemies, but their Land Immortal is at the Mahayana Realm..."

Li Mo carefully analyzed the connections between various forces, finally looking towards the Golden Armor Sect.

The Golden Armor Sect was founded by two former Land Immortals from the Three Elements Pavilion and established a little over three thousand years ago, with very shallow foundations.

Three Elements Pavilion’s attitude towards the Golden Armor Sect is ambiguous, surely they will not lend a hand.

The remaining forces will likely watch and do nothing.

"Let’s go with the Golden Armor Sect, do you recognize the Land Immortal stationed there, Senior Sister?"

"Zhou Zhu, a monster, adept in dual cultivation and body refinement spells, enjoys children, with Body Integration Realm cultivation, and has been stuck at a fifty percent integration of the Externalized Dharma Body with the Void Realm for thousands of years."

Li Mo skimmed over the feedback from the Creation Book, Zhou Zhu is not a difficult character to deal with.

"Senior Sister, let’s choose him."

"Alright."

Qu Ai exhaled dust from her mouth and nose, immediately prepared to leave the Gobi’s protection.

"Don’t be impulsive, just wait where you are, Senior Sister." Li Mo spoke while dazzlingly arranging a Nearby Array in the Gobi, using a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones as the array eye.

"You..."

Li Mo simply informed Qu Ai of his plan to replicate Si Rui Pavilion’s actions.

Spirit Root Worms drilled into the Gobi, illusions shrouded a ten-mile radius.

The fluctuation of the Nearby Array obscured most of the area, plus Li Mo attracted attention, making it hard for Land Immortals to detect Qu Ai’s presence.

In Li Mo’s view, even to obtain immortal elixir fields, there’s no need to make it widely known.

"Alright, let Junior Brother handle this, no wonder Eighth Senior Sister wants me to listen to your advice more, your spiritual wisdom is so bright."

Li Mo was speechless for a moment.

After a few more reminders, he didn’t conceal the traces of the Kun Whale at all.

Simultaneously, the Kun Whale began to reveal the aftermath of the Body Integration Realm, its body rapidly expanding to the ultimate size of six thousand meters.

Hum～～

A whale’s cry echoed, causing the ground to vibrate.

All the Land Immortals dispersed their spiritual power; clearly, the Kun Whale made them feel threatened, more importantly, Li Mo represented the Heavenly Sword Sect.

As they found Li Mo coming to the Ancestor Court alone, they returned to tranquility.

It is widely recognized that Land Immortals cannot enter the Ancestor Court; with Li Mo alone there is no threat, perhaps it is merely a probe by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

At the mountain range where the Three Elements Pavilion resided, a One Body Cultivation was surprised.

Xu Ning had crossed swords with Li Mo several times in the Demon Cave, but couldn’t imagine that in just a few hundred years, the latter had already achieved the status of a Land Immortal.

He himself was still stuck at the Divine Separation Stage, unable to break through to the Void Refining Stage.

"Taiyi..."

Xu Ning felt breathless as Li Mo retracted the Kun Whale and headed straight for the depths of the Ancestor Court.

Li Mo laughed heartily, "Greetings to fellow cultivators, upon hearing of the Ancestor Court’s fall in the northwest, I came to seek immortal fate."

"Immortal fate?"

The Three Elements Pavilion Land Immortal Tai Ci commented lightly, "You lack immortal fate? With it, wouldn’t you stand a chance to transcend the tribulation?"

Medicine King Valley Land Immortal Xu Yanrui shook her head and said, "Where is there immortal fate in the Ancestor Court; if the Heavenly Sword Sect intends to involve in the Ancestor Court, they might as well send someone of our generation."

"No immortal fate? I don’t think so."

Li Mo with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, gazed at the Ancestor Court, "The Ancestor Court, composed of thousands of corpses, isn’t something from the mortal world; it’s extraordinary."

"Junior."

Seeing Li Mo approaching within a thousand meters of Yellow Dragon Mountain, Master Huang Shi appeared wary, trying to block him, but his spiritual power stalled.

Li Mo contemplated the Ancestor Court for a few breaths, and an inexplicable Dao rhythm emanated from his entire being.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Li Mo suddenly comprehended a top-quality blood attribute Superior Sword Intent, along with a dozen or so mid to lower rank blood attribute sword intents.

They looked uncertainly at the Ancestor Court, having sat in the northwest for years; how had they not noticed the Ancestor Court’s enlightenment effect?

Little did they know it was purely from the daily accumulation in the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone.

Li Mo had no interest in digesting it daily, so he stored the profound Dao rhythm in the Immortal Bone.

"If the Ancestor Court is useful to you, Tai Ci, staying here is fine too."

Tai Ci, a typical ancient cultivator leaning towards ascension to the Upper Realm, sensed Li Mo presented no threat, naturally willing to befriend him.

Xu Yanrui withdrew her gaze, "Alright."

Chang Peng Daoist from Zhibai Dao said, "Let the Heavenly Sword Sect give us a guarantee; clearly, they promised Sword Cultivators wouldn’t interfere in the northwest."

Medicinal King Valley’s Guo Zihua shared opposing sentiments, "No, setting a precedent leads to trouble, soon everyone will want to join."

"Please, Taiyi, return."

"Opportunities are plentiful, but the northwest isn’t your place to linger in."

......

The Land Immortals were mostly against it. Zhou Zhu gently caressed the children by her side, and followed with, "Taiyi, there’s no need..."

Before Zhou Zhu finished speaking, a ferocity flashed on Li Mo’s face, and he shouted.

"Ha!"

"The Golden Armor Sect is too much, not taking me seriously!!!"

"Huh?"
