CHAPTER 1909: CHAPTER 1909: GREEN BAMBOO SECT

Those dozens of Fire Crowned Eagles did not last long before being completely slain, and Shi Chengjin and the others quickly closed the gap with Fang Bai.

Fang Bai repeated his trick, continuously summoning birds from all directions to obstruct Shi Chengjin and the others’ pursuit.

After several intervals of two hours, they finally flew over the rushing river a thousand miles away.

Fang Bai felt a surge of joy, knowing this river stretched for tens of thousands of miles, eventually flowing into the sea.

And following this river eastward, beside the riverbank thousands of miles away, there is a powerful sect that was already considered a Super Sect tens of thousands of years ago.

In his previous life, Fang Bai traveled through three thousand great worlds and became acquainted with some elite disciples of that Super Sect, forming close bonds, and had even bestowed upon them teachings and guidance.

Among those elite disciples, one was even cultivated as the Sect Master’s successor back then; Fang Bai thought that even if that person hadn’t ascended to the Immortal Realm like himself, reaching the Half-Immortal Rank Realm and succeeding the position of Sect Master would definitely not be a problem.

If that person really became the Sect Master, he would surely remember the gratitude of receiving teachings and would convey this to the younger generations of the sect.

What Fang Bai hoped now was that the younger disciples of that Super Sect would consider the connection between their ancestors and himself and would be willing to help.

Of course, Fang Bai would not reveal that he had resurrected through possession; he would still appear in that Super Sect as a "descendant of Fang Bai."

At this time, Shi Chengjin and the others behind him were less than a hundred yards away, seemingly about to catch up.

"This young master won’t play with you anymore!"

Fang Bai’s figure fell like a shooting star, diving into the deep river with a "thump" sound.

He knew that this ancient river, formed millions of years ago, was home to powerful Spirit Beasts, so after entering the water, he entered the Five Elements Space Ring, then used the method of concealing his aura, letting the Five Elements Space Ring drift with the current.

In this way, Fang Bai seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how Shi Chengjin and the others probed with Divine Sense, they could not discover his slightest trace.

Unwilling to give up, Shi Chengjin and the others conducted a thorough search within a thousand miles of the river area, but found nothing, leaving them greatly disappointed and also feeling anxious.

"If that boy escapes, our tens of thousands of disciples from the Fire Python Sect may face a life-and-death tribulation!"

Shi Chengjin said with a worried expression.

The eight strongest of the Fire Python Sect had chased Fang Bai all the way, intending to kill him. How could Fang Bai not hold a grudge in his heart? If he returned to the sect, he would surely guide the sect’s strongmen to seek justice, and by that time, how could the thousands of disciples of the Fire Python Sect compete?

Li Lingfeng, Cui Zhenren, and other leaders of the Fire Python Sect were equally troubled, unsure of what to do.

"Let’s go back first! Once we break that damned Defensive Array, we’ll slaughter those unruly villagers, then we’ll flee to a distant place and find a secret location to rebuild the sect!"

Shi Chengjin said through gritted teeth.

Li Lingfeng and the others silently nodded, thinking that at this point, they had no other choice.

They had been chasing Fang Bai for half a day, yet letting him escape naturally left them full of resentment. If they couldn’t slaughter the hundreds of villagers from Luoxia Village to vent their anger, the accumulated resentment would leave some psychological shadow.

Once a cultivator has a shadow in their heart, it will affect their future cultivation, which is extremely detrimental to their cultivation.

Fang Bai hid inside the Five Elements Space Ring, drifting eastward with the swift river, until several thousand miles away, before he left the ring, then using a Spiritual Artifact, flew along the river in the air.

That day, Fang Bai saw a vast expanse of green in the continuous mountains beside the river, a sea of bamboo stretching tens of miles around.

The bamboo forest, verdant and lush, each bamboo stalk thick as a waist and towering over a hundred feet high, rendering the scenes within the forest from above invisible; only with Divine Sense could it be explored.

However, in the core hundreds of miles of the bamboo sea, there seemed to be a formation guarding it, a formation that could block Divine Sense, even a ninth level of Heavenly Tribulation expert couldn’t perceive what was inside.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Green Bamboo Sect has changed so much!"

Of course, the formation couldn’t block Fang Bai’s Divine Sense; as his sense penetrated the formation, he discovered that the territory of the Green Bamboo Sect had expanded much compared to tens of thousands of years ago, with thousands of disciples blurry within, no longer containing any familiar strong presence.

Fang Bai descended at the southernmost point of the bamboo sea and walked briskly toward two of the thickest bamboo stalks.

Those two thick bamboo stalks, a few feet apart, seemed unremarkable from afar.

But Fang Bai knew this was the entrance to the Green Bamboo Sect; walking between these two bamboo stalks would lead into a Concealment Formation, confusing those unfamiliar with formations within the vast bamboo sea, even if they eventually walked out, they’d find themselves back at the starting point.

At this time, Fang Bai no longer concealed his aura, striding between the two bamboo stalks and then weaving left and right between the bamboo with lightning speed.

A dozen breaths later, Fang Bai was suddenly met with a vast open space.

In the center of that space stood a stone monument, inscribed with the three elegant characters of "Green Bamboo Sect."

If a genius cultivator were to closely examine those three characters, they would find each stroke imbued with indescribable Taoist Rhyme.

Fang Bai looked up at the three characters with a knowing smile, his eyes reflecting a nostalgic reminiscence.

The three characters "Green Bamboo Sect" were left by the Fang Bai of his previous life, a grand gift offered to the Green Bamboo Sect upon his departure years ago.

At that time, Fang Bai had gained profound understanding of the Heavenly Dao, on the brink of ascending to the Immortal Realm, so the characters he wrote also aligned with the Heavenly Dao.

Back then, as he left the inscription, Fang Bai thought that after ascending to immortality, if the strong of the Green Bamboo Sect could meditate under that stone monument and comprehend the inscription, achieving a mere fraction of understanding, they too might ascend to the Immortal Realm and explore the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain.

But he wondered if in the tens of thousands of years since his departure, any strong members of the Green Bamboo Sect had ascended.

Passing by the monument, from afar one could see exquisitely constructed bamboo houses and towers made from sturdy green bamboo.

Around those bamboo houses and towers, vibrant flowers and lush grass grew, with Spiritual Energy permeating the air, and adorable Spirit Beast cubs harmlessly ran past now and then.

In the open spaces between several bamboo houses, children, meticulously crafted like jade, played and frolicked, their clear laughter echoing all around.

In some secluded places on distant stones, green-clad cultivators sat cross-legged, delving into their cultivation. Fang Bai recognized their attire as that of Green Bamboo Sect disciples.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and it remains like an earthly paradise here!"

Fang Bai circled the monument and continued to proceed slowly forward, constantly observing his surroundings.

And Fang Bai also understood that from the moment he appeared on the open grounds, he was locked onto by several powerful Divine Senses.

Those Divine Senses came from a few ninth level of Heavenly Tribulation experts.
