Chapter 194: Chapter 194: The Sect Leader’s Profound Intent
The team traveled for another three months, during which time everything remained calm.
The Void Immortal Realm is so vast that it’s hard to encounter other domain experts unless you deliberately seek them out.
Jiang Cheng was not like the Celestial Demon Domain and some large domains, thinking about attacking others everywhere.
As long as others haven’t offended him first, he actually has no aggressive desire.
It’s not because he’s merciful, but... how exhausting it would be.
Isn’t it nice to lie down every day?
Meanwhile, the Female Chicken King and the Frost Rabbit King tried several times to secretly win over the Three-Eyed Tiger.
"You’re so powerful, why demean yourself by serving others?"
"Brother Hu, as long as you leave this human race, we’ll stick with you even if we go to the Immortal Realm!"
"They like formidable strong people who stand tall, not someone else’s lackey."
"Brother Hu, you have the strength but lack ambition..."
Unfortunately, ’loyal advice is hard to hear’.
The Three-Eyed Tiger not only didn’t listen but got so angry that it started beating up the two demons.
"I’ll teach you to rebel!"
"I’ll teach you to spread rumors!"
"You’re always thinking about harming me!"
It didn’t want to let go of Sect Leader Jiang’s leg.
Not to mention the potential talent enhancement in the future, just the Dark Gold Demon Body, a show-off weapon it got this time, would have been impossible without Jiang Cheng.
Moreover, following Brother Cheng, there’s no worry about being killed.
Now no one can drive it away, and yet these two demons are trying to convince it to go independent, which is simply going against it.
After being beaten up twice, the Female Chicken King and the Frost Rabbit King finally calmed down for a while.
That day, the Bone Refining Banner above suddenly showed a reaction.
The banner radiated intensely with purple light, pointing to the right front as if ready to fly off that way.
"What’s going on?"
"Why is this Magical Treasure reacting?"
"Could it be pointing to the road to the Immortal Realm?"
Mo Chen was somewhat doubtful and uncertain.
The Void Immortal Realm was opened by the nine Inheritance Treasures, so when it comes to clues to the Immortal Realm, they are certainly the most likely.
"Should we change direction?"
The direction to the altar was pretty clear, but it was a different road from where the Bone Refining Banner pointed.
"Let’s head to the altar first."
Brother Cheng waved his hand, deciding to ignore the guidance of the Bone Refining Banner.
"Brother, why?"
The Three-Eyed Tiger was a bit puzzled.
Instead, Mo Chen caught on quickly.
"You stupid tiger, how can you understand the Sect Leader’s profound intentions?"
"The Void Immortal Realm was obviously created by the Immortal Emperors of the Upper Realm, and the nine Inheritance Treasures were likely left behind intentionally."
"Everything is within the calculations of those Immortal Emperors."
"Choosing the direction of the Bone Refining Banner is to follow the route arranged by others. Who knows what conspiracy might be there in the end."
"In contrast, choosing the altar is something the Upper Realm wouldn’t foresee, which might break the situation!"
Hearing this analysis, Sect Leader Jiang felt slightly embarrassed.
Was my random point so profound?
In fact, he wasn’t thinking much, just felt uncomfortable if he didn’t visit the altar after walking so long.
Who knew Mo Chen would come up with such a profound reason for him?
"Indeed, Elder Mo understands me well. How could this Sect Leader be manipulated by others?"
"Sect Leader is wise!"
Mo Chen sincerely praised aloud, "If not for the Sect Leader’s guidance, even this old man couldn’t have thought of this, and might have chosen the Bone Refining Banner route."
As they continued towards the altar, the War Division of the Immortal Remnant Race, which possessed the Immortal Slayer Spear, also received a similar signal.
The Immortal Slayer Spear pointed in some unknown direction.
Since they originally had no goal, they naturally rushed there without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Qingsuo and other Heart Race People traveled with another group, facing numerous hardships along the way.
Despite neighboring entrances, after entering, they and Jiang Cheng ended up far apart and weren’t able to reunite.
Along the way, they faced many challenges.
If it weren’t for the Heart-Piercing Awl allowing them to battle against Saint Tier, they might have been wiped out long ago.
They were fortunate to eventually join with the Water Tribe, gaining a Saint Tier expert, which finally brought them security.
"I wonder how Jiang Cheng’s side is doing."
"With Sect Leader Jiang’s capabilities, he probably still dominates the Void Immortal Realm effortlessly."
"Yes, it would be even better if we could join him."
Though also one of the nine divisions of the Immortal Remnant Race, the Water Tribe hadn’t had much past conflict with the Heart Division, they weren’t particularly close now either.
They hadn’t communicated for millions of years, and there was a sense of unfamiliarity. The others didn’t really consider them as their own.
They just reluctantly allowed them to travel together, and due to their lack of strength, they faced a lot of disdain along the way.
Thinking back, it was far more comfortable when allied with Jiang Cheng, with no worries and the promise of resurrection even in death, solidly assured.
As the group communicated via transmission,
the Heart-Piercing Awl and the Water Control Bead of the Water Tribe simultaneously lit up.
One pointed left, the other right, both seemingly about to burst through the void.
"Does this mean we’ve finally found the entrance to the Immortal Realm?"
"It must be!"
"Finally, there’s a reaction!"
Everyone from the two teams cheered joyfully at the same time.
However, the two Inheritance Treasures pointed in completely opposite directions.
This left everyone somewhat doubtful and uncertain, not knowing which way to choose for the moment.
The Clan Leader of the Water Tribe, Tu Gu, quickly made a decision, splitting into two parts, each going their own way.
Qingsuo felt a bit uneasy, as splitting up would make the Heart Division vulnerable to other domains again.
But her opinion didn’t matter much, and after Tu Gu’s order, many of the Water Tribe people even privately said they were glad to have thrown off the burden.
This left Qingsuo and others with mixed emotions in their hearts.
They began to question the meaning behind the collective term Immortal Remnant Race.
"Let’s set off too!"
"Once we reach the Immortal Realm, everything will get better."
The Heart Race People nodded silently, embarking once more on an unknown and perilous quest.
However, this journey was much smoother than they imagined.
Guided by the Heart-Piercing Awl, they arrived on an empty grassland in just ten days.
The lush green grassland wasn’t large, only about a mile in area.
But in the sandstorm-ridden, rule-chaotic Void Immortal Realm, it was simply miraculous!
"Ah!"
"Where is this place? The Spiritual Qi is so dense!"
"Entering here, I feel my mind gaining so much insight!"
"Oh my god, could this already be the Immortal Realm?"
They excitedly jumped on the small grassland, having endured months of monotony, this rare pure land was a delight.
Qingsuo also showed a long-awaited smile, soon followed by more good news.
In the center of the grassland, they discovered an unknown Jade Platform.
At the center of the Jade Platform was a groove, shaped exactly like the Heart-Piercing Awl.
"What a coincidence!"
"This must be part of the arrangement by the nine Immortal Ancestors from back in the day."
No wonder their direction and the Water Tribe’s were different, the Water Tribe should have something similar on their side.
"There’s no doubt about it, Clan Leader, quickly put the Heart-Piercing Awl in and see!"
"I bet once you place it, it’ll directly transport us to the Immortal Realm."
"Hahaha, can’t wait."
