Chapter 223 Problematic “Immortal True Essence”
Daoist Three Yang’s footsteps paused imperceptibly. Then, he looked at Cui Heng with a puzzled expression and said in a daze, “Senior, why do you say that?”
Cui Heng still had a smile on his face as he said, “I heard from Perfected Zhang that Daoist Three Yang was already the Sect Master of Daoyi Palace 3,000 years ago and was already a Taiyi Mystic Deity.”
“…” Daoist Three Yang fell silent when he heard this, but his expression was still puzzled. “Senior, what are you trying to say?”
“So why are you only 1,700 years old?” Cui Heng chuckled.
To him, who was already at the Nascent Soul realm, it was very easy to sense a person’s vitality. He could tell at a glance how many years a living being had lived.
“What exactly does Senior want to do?” Daoist Three Yang’s expression darkened. His identity was his greatest secret.
This was something that could intimidate the Nine Immortal Sects and also the foundation to ensure the stable development of Daoyi Palace.
If the group of Taiyi Mystic Deity from the Nine Immortal Sects knew that he was no longer the Daoist Three Yang who had once suppressed them until they could not raise their heads, the situation of Daoyi Palace would probably be in danger.
Even if this “senior” in front of him was an enemy of the Nine Immortal Sects, he was naturally shocked when such a critical matter was suddenly exposed.
“I can help you become a true Golden Immortal.” Cui Heng smiled.
“Senior don’t have to worry about that. As long as I digest the Immortal True Essence, I’ll naturally become a Golden Immortal.” Daoist Three Yang shook his head, clearly not interested in Cui Heng’s suggestion.
Of course, this was also because he had never heard of anyone using any methods to speed up the digestion of the Immortal True Essence. He did not believe that Cui Heng could help him become a Golden Immortal.
“Can’t one become a Golden Immortal without digesting the Immortal True Essence?” Cui Heng pretended to be puzzled.
“Senior, if you have something to say, just say it.” Daoist Three Yang was already completely vigilant.
At this moment, in Daoist Three Yang’s eyes, Cui Heng was completely looking for trouble.
An existence that was countless times stronger than a Golden Immortal actually asked if one could become a Golden Immortal without digesting Immortal True Essence?
If he wasn’t teasing someone, what was he doing?
Daoist Three Yang was even prepared to face Cui Heng’s attack.
Although he knew very well that Cui Heng’s strength was incomparably powerful and was not something he could resist at all, if Cui Heng wanted to harm Daoyi Palace, he would still rush up to resist without hesitation.
The inheritance of the Daoyi Palace was a will left behind by his master.
He was willing to sacrifice his life for it.
“Daoist Priest, don’t be anxious. Why don’t you take a look at this first?” Cui Heng smiled. He didn’t care about Daoist Three Yang’s attitude. Instead, he raised his right hand and extended a finger.
Hu –
A ball of scarlet flames suddenly emerged from Cui Heng’s fingertips. The extremely dazzling light made even a Half-step Golden Immortal like Daoist Three Yang feel temporarily blinded.
However, after this short period of blindness, he saw endless light. It was as if the entire universe was illuminated by this crimson light.
In an instant, this flame was the brightest light that Daoist Three Yang had ever seen in his life.
There was no other.
Immediately after, Daoist Three Yang felt a faint pressure appear in the bright and hot fire.
At first, this sense of prestige was very weak, but it became stronger extremely quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had already surpassed him in strength, a Half-step Golden Immortal.
It was stronger than a Half-step Golden Immortal!
It had reached the Golden Immortal realm!
Moreover, Daoist Three Yang could clearly sense that this was not Cui Heng using any martial technique.
Instead, a living creature was being born!
In the ball of fire that emerged from Cui Heng’s fingertips, he sensed the process of the birth of life and the process of a life growing from birth to maturity
However, after sensing all of this, fear appeared on Daoist Three Yang’s face. His eyes widened as he looked at Cui Heng in disbelief. “How, how is this possible? How is this possible?! What did I see, what did I just
see?!”
I actually saw a new life being born on this person’s fingertips.
Moreover, it was a Golden Immortal level creature.
Am I crazy, or was I hallucinating?!
At this moment, Daoist Three Yang was already doubting his life in his extreme shock.
After all, creating living beings out of thin air was really unbelievable and too shocking.
It was simply unbelievable.
“Wuwu!”
At this moment, the flame suddenly made a sound. It was very young. It was the first sound this new life made in this world.
Then, a seven-inch-long Fire Dragon flew out from Cui Heng’s fingertips.
This was the fifth Nine Fire Flame Dragon.
It could be called “Huo Wu”.
It also possessed Late-stage Golden Core realm and Dharmic powers.
In addition, Cui Heng had also engraved a few spell seals on the Nine Fire Flame Dragon. As long as he used his Dharmic powers to activate these seals, he could release the spells.
In other words, Huo Wu’s usage of spells was much stronger than the previous four.
At this moment, Daoist Three Yang, who was standing at the side, was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Huo Wu, who was dancing freely in the air, and almost suspected that he was hallucinating.
Cui Heng was not in a hurry. He just stood there and quietly looked at Daoist Three Yang opposite him, waiting for his reply.
After a while, Daoist Three Yang finally calmed down slightly. He looked at Huo Wu, who was dancing in the air, and his heart was even more moved, as if a storm had stirred
up.
Plop!
Daoist Three Yang knelt down in front of Cui Heng and said respectfully, “Senior, you have great divine powers. If you’ve come here to destroy Daoyi Palace, please kill me first.”
At this moment, in his eyes, Cui Heng was already a god-like existence. Even in myths, he was an ancient figure.
Facing such an expert, he was completely in despair.
“Daoist Priest, when did I say I was here to destroy Daoyi Palace?” Cui Heng laughed when he saw this. He raised his hand and let Daoist Three Yang stand up. “Didn’t I say earlier that I wanted to discuss with you if you can become a Golden Immortal without using Immortal True Essence?”.
“…” Daoist Three Yang was a little stunned when he heard this. So the question just now was not to tease him. It was actually real?!
This was too ridiculous!
However, Cui Heng’s current expression did not seem fake.
Moreover, there was no need for such a powerful existence to lie about such things.
Thinking of this, Daoist Three Yang took a deep breath and said, “Senior, I’m indeed not the original Daoist Three Yang. The person who brought the entire Daoyi Palace to the Heavenly Void World was actually my master.
“I’m Master’s third disciple, and also the only disciple of Master who has cultivated to the Mystic Deity realm. 1,500 years ago, Master passed away and passed on his Immortal True Essence to me. He even asked me to take on his name to prevent the Nine Immortal Sects from plotting against us.
Senior, this is my situation. Do you have any other questions?”
As long as the other party’s goal was not to harm Daoyi Palace, he could heave a sigh of relief.
VA
“I want your Immortal True Essence.” Cui Heng did not beat around the bush and said bluntly, “If you believe me, give me your Immortal True Essence. I will help you directly become a Golden Immortal.”
This was his final goal, and also the reason why he directly exposed Daoist Three Yang’s identity from the beginning.
He wanted to obtain a complete version of the Immortal True Essence to study.
Let’s see what’s the difference between this and Immortal Golden nature.
If there were really many differences between the two, Cui Heng would definitely receive a lot of feedback from exploring the unknown, directly improving his cultivation.
“…Alright!”
Daoist Three Yang spoke with some difficulty.
Although he had already expected this, he still felt suffocated when he heard this request.
However, in the end, he agreed.
Hence, Daoist Three Yang closed his eyes and began to reverse the power in his body.
He tried to condense the Immortal True Essence that had been partially digested into a complete state.
This process was very smooth.
Although the Immortal True Essence in the body of a Half-step Golden Immortal had already begun to be digested, as long as it was not completely digested, he had not fused with the Immortal True Essence.
Therefore, in just a moment, a ball of golden light that emitted an undying charm flew out from Daoist Three Yang’s head.
At the same time, Daoist Three Yang also went from a Half-step Golden Immortal to a Taiyi Mystic Deity.
An unprecedented sense of loss and emptiness filled his heart.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment before Daoist Three Yang felt an extremely strong force pour in from the top of his head.
Moreover, it contained an extremely strong aura of immortality.
In an instant, Daoist Three Yang felt that he had fused with this immortal aura. The power in his body immediately boiled, and the essence of his life began to sublimate to the extreme.
A moment later, he woke up and looked down at his hands in disbelief. Then, he looked up at Cui Heng and said in shock, “I, I became a Golden Immortal just like that?!”
“Just a simple move.” Cui Heng chuckled.
He had just used a trace of Dharmic powers to simulate some Immortal Golden nature and instantly helped Daoist Three Yang break through.
At the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed the Immortal True Essence.
Then, he realized that it was actually a fingernail-sized transparent crystal.
It was just that the power aura it emitted had an undying charm.
It was this power that had the effect of letting Mystic Deities transform into Golden Immortals.
However, when Cui Heng sensed carefully, he realized that there was something wrong with this so-called “Immortal True Essence”.
There were actually subtle traces of artificial work on this thing. An essential item for breaking through to the next realm actually had traces of artificial work!
“Daoist priest, do you know the source of the Immortal True Essence?” Cui Heng asked Daoist Three Yang without changing his expression.
“I heard from Master that it’s born from nature and is a necessary item to break through to the Golden Immortal realm,” Daoist Three Yang replied truthfully. “Moreover, Master also said that under this starry sky, there are only four sources of Immortal True Essence, so Golden Immortals have a limited quota…”
He could not continue.
If there was really a fixed number of Golden Immortals, if there were only four sources of Immortal True Essence, and if the Immortal True Essence was a necessary item to break through to the Golden Immortal realm…
Then what was going on with this person in front of him? What was with the Golden Immortal Fire Dragon that had just been created out of thin air? And what was going on with him, who had just become a Golden Immortal?
For a moment, Daoist Three Yang suddenly fell into a strange confusion.
He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with his cultivation method all along, as if something had gone wrong.
“Heh…” Cui Heng suddenly laughed. He opened his palm and suppressed the golden light that contained the aura of immortality, revealing the form of the crystal. “I’m afraid there’s a problem with the Golden Immortal cultivation technique you cultivate.”
