Chapter 189 - Great Heavenly Venerate, Battlefield of the Worlds, Elder Bai

As soon as she stepped on the island, a divine light spread from her feet. Linglong was led away, and the nine clones followed after her.

They were not traveling at a fast pace, so it gave them a chance to take in the surroundings.

It was a big island that floated amongst the clouds.

They couldn’t tell how high they were in the sky as they couldn’t see the ground below. On this island, there were three mountains and they all looked normal.

The mountain right in front of them had its top cleaved clean and became a platform. At the center of the platform sat an old man in a lotus position. He was beaming brightly and waving at Linglong, who was approaching him.

“Nine clones? Not only that, but all of them are of high level? You’re truly impressive, girl!”

“Nice to meet you, sir!” Linglong and the nine clones landed in front of the old man and greeted him respectfully.

“Zi Linglong, you’ve passed the test. From today onward, you’ll be the disciple of the Heavenly Venerate. I’m your personal guide, and you can call me Taoist Bai,” the old man said, “I can answer your queries about the ‘Dao’, I can explain to you the way of your cultivation, or I can teach you about the thousands of Dao. Of course, you can make a request and ask for the Dao you want to know. I’ll answer everything that you want to know about cultivation! Could you see the two mountains over there? One of them is the place for you to rest. You can cultivate over there as well, and there are a lot of scrolls and books for you to study. On the other side, it’s a training ground. If you want to leave this place, you need to go through the Heavenly Order. When you return to this place again, you’ll arrive at your resting zone.”

“Thank you for the information, Master Bai!” Linglong bowed at him again. Taoist Bai shook his hand and said, “Just call me Taoist Bai. After you’ve become the Heavenly Venerate, I won’t be good enough to become your master.”

“I’ll call you Elder Bai, then!” “Alright then!” “Elder Bai, can I know where my master came from?”

“You’re too weak right now, so you don’t have the right to know about it. You’ll learn of his origin in the future. You’re at the Imminent Immortal Realm right now, and you have the capability of ascending into the next realm. However, you should take some rest now. After you’ve conditioned yourself back to your peak state, I’ll start teaching you the Dao.”

“Thank you, Elder Bai!”

Linglong sat in a lotus position and began to recuperate.

It was only then she noticed the massive amount of Dao fluctuation and spiritual Qi here.

Very soon, she had recovered to her full strength and she asked Elder Bai to start teaching her.

“Look closely!”

Elder Bai smiled and the surroundings began to change. A Sword Dao space appeared. It was filled with sword energies to the brim. When Linglong turned around, she could also sense the Dao fluctuations and the essence of True Immortal here.

Her eyes glowed and she thought inwardly, “This is performing Dao with the law. It’s the best way of teaching Dao.’ She also sensed that each of the nine clones had appeared in the realm of Dao that corresponded to their attributes.

She felt relieved and began cultivating.

Doomsday.

After the clone defeated the last level 11 higher demon and flung it in front of the Fifth Immortal Moon, he looked at the interdimensional portal ahead and fell silent.

It had been almost a year since he came here. He had crushed many parties with the army of combat mannequins, and in the end, he found there were a lot of demons gathered in a valley trying to create an interdimensional portal. He was delighted, so he did not exterminate all of them and spare them.

After the interdimensional portal had been created, hordes of demons poured out from it, but all of them were killed by the combat mannequins.

The combat mannequins could kill even level 11 demons since they were in a daze when they first came out of the portal. In the event where they slipped past the combat mannequins’ hands, the Fifth Immortal Moon would step in and put them down.

After all, she was a genius and was capable of putting down a True Immortal.

Even if she couldn’t kill them, the clone would help her.

After they did this for a month, perhaps the demons had noticed something was wrong on the other side, fewer and fewer of them were coming through the portal. Eventually, none of them were coming through the portal.

The corner of the Fifth Immortal Moon’s lips twitched.

The clone waited for some time, but the demons were not appearing from the portal anymore. Leaving with no choices, he destroyed the portal.

He turned around and glanced at the Fifth Immortal Moon. His voice rang inside her soul, “Try to purify the land of the demons and return this land to its original form. Maybe we can get higher marks in the rating.”

The Fifth Immortal Moon’s eyes lit up and she nodded.

They still had some time left, and it was worth a try.

The clone flew into the sky and gazed down at the land.

He thought about the Tianyuan World. What would it become and what would happen to the living beings over there if it weren’t for him to thwart the invasion of the demons?

He did not dare to think about it. Before the mission deadline, the Fifth Immortal Moon tried to purify the land of the demons. However, it was a difficult process and it was only possible because all of the demons had been exterminated as well as the blessing of the origin of the universe.

The clone was running out of power, so he handed the three immortal weapons to the FifthImmortal Moon before returning through the Human Paths Record.

It also consumed some of Jiang Ming’s mana this time, but it was nothing compared to when he first sent the clone over to the Fifth Immortal Moon. He did not know whether it was because the clone was running out of energy or because he did not carry many items with him. Perhaps it was because it consumed less mana on the way back?

Chuyang Peak.

Jiang Ming cracked his eyes open and let out a boisterous laugh.

“Hahaha! I did it!”

He rose to his feet and his face was brimming with joy.

After the Fifth Immortal Moon returned, the rating was raised by one level to SSS level and he received a large amount of rewards.

He had gotten plenty of points as well. “Next step, I should ask the Fifth Immortal Moon to exchange the Xuanhuang Origin Essence and accept another mission.”

When the thought appeared in Jiang Ming’s head, he stretched his body and he was in a good mood.

The sun was bright and the wind was comfortable.

When he saw Xi Yao was coming at him, the grin on his face widened.

“Have you done with your cultivation?” Jiang Ming asked with a smile.

“Well, it’s not good for our mental health if we keep staying in seclusion for a long time. Since it’s almost noon, I think it’s almost time for me to eat something,” Xi Yao said as she landed.

“Right on time! I was about to cook something to eat!” Jiang Ming smiled as he walked into the kitchen, “Is there anything that you want to eat?”

“Noodles. I like the noodles that you make.”

“Alright, then! I’ll make some noodles for

you!”

Jiang Ming took out the flour, which surprisingly emitted a seven-colored light.

This was the spirit wheat given to him by the system. He used the Verdant Emperor Spirit Transformation Technique to speed up the ripening process and grinded it into flour with his own strength.

After he had finished kneading the dough, he set it aside for it to rise. Then, he started to prepare the minced meat.

He thought for a while and decided to use the crab roe as the main ingredient with some chopped squids and slices of sea eel’s heart.

“I’m already drooling!” Xi Yao came over and swallowed a large gulp of saliva. “It’s a great pleasure to eat the food cooked by you!”

“Well, thank you for the compliment!” Jiang Ming laughed.

“I don’t think I can find any cook like you in this world anymore!” Xi Yao added.

Very soon, the noodles were ready.

Jiang Ming gave a bowl to Xi Yao, and both of them sat opposite of each other to enjoy the meal.

Jiang Ming ate the noodle slowly, reveling in the aroma and fragrance that tickled his nostrils.

Suddenly, he thought of Pan Jinglian and Ximen Qing.

He felt itchiness on his feet, and he had the urge to throw his chopsticks below the table. In the meantime, a scene that he watched from one of the videos appeared in his head.

In a restaurant, a man was peeking at a young lady who was enjoying her meal. The young lady knew that the man was looking at her, so when he cast his gaze on her again, she opened her legs and the man was stunned.

“What are you thinking, Brother Jiang?” Xi Yao asked, snapping Jiang Ming out of his thoughts. “Looking at your face, could it be something enjoyable?”

“Well, it is,” Jiang Ming replied, “I remembered a forest that has a lot of interesting things in it.”

“What kind of a forest is that?”

“Well, there’s a hot spring in the forest and there’s an eel inside the hot spring, but I killed it in the end!”

Both of them then laughed.

After a short while, Xi Yao patted her tummy and said, “I’m so full.”

Then, she went to clean her bowl and flew away. “See you again, Brother Jiang.”

“You’re leaving so soon?”

“I’m worried that I won’t be able to go away if I don’t leave now.”

“You talk as if I’m a demon.”

“You’re more evil than a demon!” Xi Yao mumbled and went away.

She landed in the courtyard.

She turned around and looked at the front. There was a strange expression on her face and she suddenly sighed, “Why can’t I just stop wanting to go near him? I really hope that I can stay by his side forever…”

She sat on the stone stool. Suddenly, something glowed in her eyes and she shouted inwardly.

‘Pull yourself together, Xi Yao! You’re here to cultivate, to become stronger, not to fall in love with another man!’

After she had admonished herself inwardly, her eyes became clear again.

In the endless flood of space and time, a crumbling world appeared. It was being pulled by several great torrents of power, and was moving fast. However, the endless void space was so vast that even immortals looked like ants here.

This torn world would eventually be torn apart and annihilated by the endless torrent of power.

Immortal Realm.

There was a magnificent palace, and inside sat a middle-aged man that exuded a terrifying aura.

“Greetings, father,” a young man walked in and greeted the middle-aged man.

“Is there anything you want to tell me, Chen Guang?” “Father, I’m sure you’re aware that I’m seeking an opportunity in the mortal world. I activated the Golden Heaven Path, but I failed in the end. Therefore, I would like to ask for assistance from you, father. I hope you can lend me some immortal soldiers so that I can lure that world to the Battlefield of Multiverse so that I can seize it again.”

“You can’t even take control of a mere mortal world?”

“Father, that world is very special. Not only are there abyssal demons, but it’s also frequented by many visitors from other dimensions. Besides, they also have a genius that is capable of slaying immortals.”

“These are nothing but your excuses!” “That world holds a chance for me to gain enlightenment. I hope you can give me another chance, Father.”

“Not long ago, I went to the Heaven Court to see the Great Heaven Venerate. He has laid down the Great Astral Formation to seal off the universe and prevent the middle immortal chiliocosm from reaching the Land of Eternity. He wants to unify and take control over all the worlds.”

“How could he?!”

“He’s strong, so of course, he can do whatever he wants. If I were him, I would do the same too. Perhaps he will reach the realm in the legend. Sigh, there’s nothing we can do about it. Now that we’re being restricted, we can’t do anything as we wish. If we mobilize an army of immortal soldiers, we will be noticed.”

“But…”

“Fine, I’ll give you one last chance. Remember, you have to succeed this time. Plan everything carefully before making your move, and you must keep a low profile.”

“Thank you, father. I’ll be aware of it.”
