Chapter 557: Chapter 206: Immortal City Merges with the Desolate Regions, Physical Body Training, Seeking Truth Lineage Enters Immortal City (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!)

Longevity Immortal City.

The sky is suddenly filled with resplendent fireworks. As beautiful as the view may be, many within the Immortal City remain unaware of the true story behind the spectacle.

All the Desolate Regions under the jurisdiction of the Longevity Immortal City are self-destructing at this very moment. The unique Spiritual Energy distinctive to these regions is being extracted and channeled into the Immortal City.

This is the painstaking work of both Feng Yuan and his partner, under the guidance of Chunyangzi and Ling Xiaozi. By setting up arrays with the Golden Core Daoist, it is as if they have constructed a filter.

The additional Spiritual Energy presently in the Immortal City is what remains after all conflicting aspects between the Desolate Regions and the Immortal City have been eliminated.

The native cultivators in the city are oblivious to the additional essence that now permeates their city. However, Jin Quanxiu is all too familiar with this aura.

This is the place he longs to return to, the place that constantly occupies his thoughts. As good as the Immortal City may be, it is in the Desolate Regions where he truly belongs.

His expression, however, quickly changes. For just as the Desolate Regions integrate into the Immortal City, a part of some other extraordinary place also begins to merge into the city.

To put it more accurately, several wormhole entrances have appeared within the city. Though unseen to Jin Quanxiu, he can sense them. The aura emanating from these wormholes reminds him of the beast tide in the Desolate Regions.

Could the Beast Swamp be descending?

In truth, Jin Quanxiu is not mistaken. The Beast Swamp connects to countless Desolate Regions. But simply by self-destructing the Desolate Regions that lie beneath the Longevity Immortal City, the Beast Swamp isn’t damaged in the slightest.

Feng Yuan and his partner purposefully incorporated the Beast Swamp into their scheme, for how else could the Seeking Truth Lineage be truly fooled?

At this moment, Su Wu dares not move a muscle. He witnessed Feng Yuan and his partner set up the Big Array in the backyard with his own eyes, and the impact they’ve had has been considerable.

As the Horizontal Training Method, bolstered by the reminder from the Kaiyuan Child, circulates within his body, coupled with his consumption of Qi and Blood supplements that he only half believed in, they are now rapidly assimilating, spurred on by the sudden appearance of a certain aura.

In no time at all, his physical strength seems to have faintly increased, filling him with immense joy. However, he didn’t thank the Kaiyuan Child for it, as the latter’s array had not yet been fully deployed.

The Kaiyuan Child then takes out a jade box, which contains the Essence Blood previously extracted from Fang Yuan, enhanced with hidden techniques.

Having gone through great lengths to set up this hunting ground. If the prey doesn’t take the bait, wouldn’t all their effort have been in vain?

In the next moment, Feng Yuan and his partner both form a hand seal. The Essence Blood in their hands begins to emanate an eerie blood light before vaporizing. Like a wave of information, it rapidly expands from the center of the Immortal City to its furthest corners.

Once all this was done, Feng Yuan and his partner finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Essence Blood was infused with a soul-controlling mystic art applied by Chunyangzi himself, somehow granting them a miraculous success.

Fang Yuan is utterly oblivious that in his unconscious state, he has been forced to commit a treacherous act.

After the initial excitement wore off, even practitioners of Kaiyuan Child and Feng Yuan’s level can’t help but feel somewhat weary.

Let’s leave it at that for now.

They have used every method at their disposal, and now they will leave things up to fate, patiently awaiting the outcome. As for the matter of the Immortal City after the downfall of the Seeking Truth Lineage, they will no longer be concerned, as the city will be under Su Wu’s command.

What’s it to them anyway? Unbeknownst to Su Wu, he’s been set up as the scapegoat. However, even if he discovered the truth, he would likely still bask in his unexpected fortune.

To ascend to the rank of City Lord, one must be prepared to pay a price. In the end, he is only a Nascent Soul Master.

Against Kaiyuan Child and Feng Yuan, he stands no chance of resistance. Especially now that he remains blissfully ignorant, the only feeling stirring within him being the excitement of his strengthening physical body.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, Kaiyuan Child shook his hand and said, “Su Wu, the rest is up to you. Keep a close eye on the city, and be vigilant of any outsiders. Better to falsely accuse than to let even one person slip through our fingers.”

“Yes!”

…

Liang Sheng’s Mansion.

While Jin Quanxiu is quietly thrilled by the distinctive aura of the Desolate Regions, Zhou Shen reaps the greatest benefits from this event. The sudden eruption of the Desolate Regions’ aura instantly resonates with the supplements for Qi and Blood within his body.

He has no time for any action, he immediately crosses his legs and meditates, feverishly exercising the Horizontal Training Method circulating within his body.

As time passes, a faint golden light sporadically flickers within his meridians. Jin Quanxiu, who has been attentively monitoring the disturbing fluctuations within the Immortal City, now shifts all his attention to Zhou Shen.

Seeing the continuous growth in Zhou Shen’s strength, Jin Quanxiu is assured that the situation is favourable and his worries are eased.

At this moment, he is immensely grateful to Liang Sheng. He had been puzzled as to why his senior had instructed Zhou Shen to practice the Horizontal Training Method. Now he finally has his answer.

Could this be the legendary ability to foresee one’s destiny?

Indeed, it’s truly extraordinary!

However, Jin Quanxiu is unaware of the full extent of the horror that awaits him. The Immortal Dynasty Competition has begun, and the Holy Land has used extraordinary means to block the calculation of destiny. Even distinguished figures such as the Immortal Court Emperor can no longer predict the cause and effect of events.

Only Liang Sheng is an exception. His signature divine ability, the Law of Cause and Effect, has granted him prior insight into potential occurrences.

However, the orchestrated calculation of divine destiny may change. If everything proceeded exactly according to prediction, then why would the greatest cultivators bother to struggle in the mortal world?

Though this place is called the Immortal Cultivation World of the Immortal Court, it is nothing more than another world separate from the mortal world, filled with potent spiritual energy.

At this moment, seeing that the City Array is completed, Liang Sheng does little to acknowledge it. He remains reposed in his lounging chair, eyes closed, recuperating his energy.
