CHAPTER 71: THE IMMORTAL VENERABLE REJECTS THE ALLIANCE!!!

• "Do they think I’m a fool or something similar? Immortal ascension subjects you to a heavenly trial."

• "What do you think Heaven will do to me if I run to it seeking death?"

• "I’ll pretend to be foolish and go far away."

And indeed, Clark pretended to be foolish and conducted the conversation perfectly with Su Tai, as if they were the closest of friends.

After the long laughter, everyone moved forward while Clark and Hai Lou Lan remained behind.

Clark handed her the soul and the Infinite Self.

Since Clark gave it to her willingly, the movement didn’t resist her.

She began by absorbing the soul as a start, then... absorption!

She started refining the soul to harmonize with her body.

After an hour, she regained her vitality and strength as in Hai Lou Lan’s former days.

He looked at her coldly and retrieved the Infinite Self.

Then he said:

• "So, the information! Tell me everything."

Hai Lou Lan sighed:

• "The Immortal World consists of southern, northern, central lands, and the western plains."

• "The central lands are ruled by the great sects: the Zhong Nam Sect, the Shadow Sect which hides in darkness, the Metal Fist Sect, the Lotus Sect, and finally the Heavenly Court - the Heaven’s Guards."

• "You could say that if all the sects together are like an iceberg, then the Heaven’s Guards are the ocean that carries this iceberg."

• "Terrifyingly powerful, their orders are executed to the letter without dispute."

• "Recently, several matters circulated about a dangerous existence in the mortal world, and they want to kill him. They haven’t revealed who it is, fearing public opinion backlash."

• "Among other matters."

• "After that, they gathered some elites from mortal forces in the Immortal World from all sects, with the goal of controlling this inheritance."

Clark replied in surprise:

• "What about me? Have there been orders to kill me?"

Hai Lou Lan sighed:

• "In truth, no. There haven’t been any specific plans targeting you with the goal of killing you or similar."

• "Previously, they demanded the killing of someone they didn’t know, because he was in the dream world, intending to take the inheritance of the Demonic Venerable: the Page of Time."

Clark was shocked! She meant him! A sudden shock!

He didn’t know they were serious about killing him, and that they wanted him desperately.

But he calmed down and pretended to be foolish.

• "Continue."

Hai Lou Lan continued:

• "Well, but things aren’t as calm as you think."

• "There’s a strange human who enters and exits the mortal world frequently, goes to the Heavenly Island - the Heavenly Court - often, obtains various resources, and his refinement has also risen terrifyingly."

Clark felt his heart drop into his intestines!

And who else could this enemy be but Jin!

• "He’s planning something bad against me."

But there was a famous saying on Earth: "The one who listens to your story without saying a word is the one trying to find flaws in it."

And naturally, Jin had always been the quiet observer, rarely taking action, and only doing so when confident.

But one of the planners’ sayings goes: "The highest stage of planning is being able to destroy your enemies’ alliances."

• "So what if he communicates with someone higher? Then I’ll do the same!"

Clark roared loudly in his mind:

• "Mao Hua!!!"

Mao Hua emerged, shocked:

• "What do you want?"

Clark replied:

• "Do you remember the new system feature: communication with the Immortal World?"

Mao Hua’s will nodded in understanding.

The system appeared before Clark.

Hai Lou Lan was silently watching this madman moving his fingers in the air!

Clark spoke in his mind:

• "Mao Hua, listen well! Connect me to the Eternal Venerable: Star Constellation!"

Although she was just a will, her hair stood on end from shock!

• "Are you crazy? Do you intend to kill yourself?!"

Clark laughed:

• "That whore doesn’t want to kill me, she wants to secure me for her ranks. What if I establish a trade with her that she’ll never refuse?"

Mao Hua sighed:

• "Fine!!!"

The system flickered faintly, and the stars cracked.

Clark’s vision was blurred.

Soon he fell to the ground suddenly and terrifyingly!

The music sounds were dazzling and wonderful.

Clark felt the grass on the hill touching his face, and before him... a dazzling woman!

Her soft, faint blue hair reaching her waist.

She had a slender nose and a long, beautiful nose bridge.

Her face was closer to pink.

She had long, slender legs, and a slender, proportionate body.

She looked at Clark with intense tenderness and relentless longing.

She was the Eternal Venerable Star Constellation: Xinq Lian Yu!

The most beautiful woman in the Immortal World, and perhaps the entire world!

The man lying before her rose.

It was Clark, with a cold and sharp gaze, looking at the Venerable with indifference.

She was holding an erhu in her hands.

She looked at Clark with gentle expressions, while he appeared indifferent to her.

• "So, you’ve specifically transported me to your dream world."

• "Well, since I requested your presence, I’ll state what I want."

• "Stop supporting Jin, and I’ll give you the information and all the steps of the Demonic Venerable Spectral King."

• "What do you think?"

Star Constellation looked at him:

• "Fine, but my condition is that you come to the Immortal World for three days."

• "And also accept that I place a personal guard with you."

Clark looked at her in surprise:

• "Why all this? You’re asking for this knowing I’ll refuse."

The Venerable laughed softly and said:

• "I knew you wouldn’t be easily deceived."

• "But Clark, why don’t you stop and rest? You’ve struggled so much."

• "You were Clark, you were Xiao Chen, you were Zou Long."

• "Just rest."

Clark looked at her with contempt:

• "What?!"

Clark’s facial expressions became ugly! Even his handsome face with this expression became ugly and full of anger!

• "How dare you try to stand in my way?! I’m the one who faced difficulties, struggled, and fought! I got injured, and the injuries are still in my body!"

• "Not once have I thought in my mind that I would stop! Now you’re asking me to stop?!"

The Venerable Star Constellation approached Clark.

His face was extremely cold.

Star Constellation placed her hand on Clark’s forehead.

Soon the scene before Clark changed!

He was standing above a pool of water, with the Venerable Star Constellation beside him, watching a scene from Star Constellation’s own memories.

Star Constellation was an extremely ancient existence, one of the first Venerables.

In her long life, she met a farmer over 500 years old, named Xian Tian.

His hair was white, but he had a handsome appearance.

He alternated between the demonic and righteous paths.

In one of his lives, he met the Venerable Star Constellation.

He didn’t know it was her herself, because at that time she was thought to be dead.

But Clark found her by chance!

It was a quiet place - Clark’s Immortal Consciousness, or his other name Xian Tian.

An immortal lady came, the Eternal Venerable.

She traded with Clark, and gradually formed a friendship with him.

The friendship evolved into mutual respect and simple feelings, until it became love.

Clark loved her, even though he was just a weak farmer, not even at that level.

The water rippled, as if it didn’t want to show Clark the truth.

But Clark’s face remained cold, despite seeing many memories, there wasn’t a trace of feeling towards the Venerable.

But Clark said an interesting statement:

• "Give a man love, and he’ll trade his crown for a kiss."

• "Strip a man of love and emotions, and he’ll build you a great kingdom from the ashes of those feelings."

• "I don’t care about love, I don’t care about emotions."

• "I follow my desires."

• "Don’t try to mislead me by saying I wasn’t like this."

• "Whoever I was, I’ve always been Clark or Xian Tian or whatever my name was, it doesn’t matter."

• "My goal is one, and my will is of steel. Try saying whatever you want."

• "My chipped sword, if it intensifies its strikes, can even cut through the sky."

Star Constellation smiled helplessly:

• "Then, you will follow your whims."

Clark laughed like a madman:

• "And throughout my life, what have I been following? Are you trying to mislead me? Will you open your legs to me?! So I’ll follow you!"

• "And what do you think? A dog without women’s feet?! I’m happiest when a woman opens her legs to me! I don’t care!"

• "Even if you were the most beautiful woman and the one who understands me most... no, in truth you don’t understand me."

A simple memory flashed through Clark’s face, like a gust of wind.

He smelled the beautiful sea, and a sweet singing voice in his ear.

The face wasn’t clear, but it affected him slightly.

But he calmed down, for that moment he remembered made Clark repeat his words in Star Constellation’s ear:

• "What could make my life more exciting than immortality?!"

• "Years of setbacks and struggle, that’s the bitterness of life, and at the same time its sweetness."

• "Without hardships, where is the true value of existence?!"

• "Let me tell you: whether I sacrifice for humans, I sacrifice humans, O Venerable of Stars!"

• "I’m not deceived by your trivial details and your pitiful obsession and past with me!"

• "You’re just obsessed!"

• "I’m the opposite! I exploit humans, I kill them, I love them worshiping me while I kill them and exploit them, and make them a bridge for my ambitions!"

• "Do you like that?!"

Star Constellation’s gaze became calm.

She didn’t prolong the conversation, it ended, and Clark woke up!!!
