Chapter 184: Immortal Body
"This person is truly too arrogant, does he take our Western Kunlun Sect as a joke? Sect Master, I believe this time we cannot back down. What if it’s Mubei Immortal City? When we established our Western Kunlun, Mubei Immortal City didn’t even have a shadow!" A peak master stood up, speaking boldly.
This was the peak master of Yulun Peak from the Western Kunlun Sect, Tai He Lianbin.
He was known for his fierce temper, and anyone who crossed him could only hope to save themselves.
His disciple had once been rejected by a female disciple from a three-star sect.
In anger, he killed her on the spot.
Normally, such matters would be brushed aside, but his disciple insisted on taking the younger sister of that disciple back to Western Kunlun.
The sister's master, equally fierce, taught the disciple a lesson.
Consequently, Tai He Lianbin went to eliminate the three-star sect altogether.
Given his audacious nature, how could he tolerate a mere city lord from Mubei Immortal City plotting against a golden-cored elder of Western Kunlun? The fact that he wasn’t storming Mubei Immortal City right now showed remarkable restraint.
Elder Fengdu gave Tai He Lianbin a look, contemptible, as if he were a fool.
Peak masters from Western Kunlun were accustomed to being arrogant; they had only ever been the ones to teach others a lesson.
Cun He spoke again, "While I too wish to obliterate Mubei Immortal City at once, this is merely our conjecture..."
Before Cun He could finish, a jade communication sphere in his hand lit up.
He glanced at it and sighed, "It must be Lan Xiaobu. I just received news that Yu Xiangyi has indeed gone to Mubei Immortal City and has settled there."
Zhuo Cailou's gaze turned towards Fengdu.
Although Western Kunlun claimed to have four golden core elders, in reality, only three remained.
Wen Wuqing had been killed, leaving only him and Fengdu.
Fengdu knew the sect master's intent.
He glanced at the numerous peak masters and elders before stating calmly, "I understand everyone’s thoughts; it means we’re to attack Mubei Immortal City immediately. But has anyone considered what would happen if we do this?"
"What can happen? Our Western Kunlun Sect is one of the top five-star sects in Yuanzhou. Furthermore, we can ally with other five-star sects. Lan Xiaobu is far too arrogant; if we do not restrain him, Yuanzhou will never find peace," Tai He Lianbin spoke loudly, visibly dissatisfied.
"We went to Ancient Star Mountain not long ago; Shangguan Xiaoyi was rescued by him from there. Not only that, but he also obtained a mid-grade spiritual vein there, with the Ancient Star Mountain's master, Shi Hailv personally sending him off. Do you think we can unite with the five-star sects to deal with Lan Xiaobu?" Fengdu replied calmly.
Tai He Lianbin stood up, cupping his hands towards Elder Fengdu, "Elder Fengdu, I think we can. The Ancient Star Mountain was not willing to part with the spiritual vein due to their weaker status. If we go and unite with them, we will definitely succeed!"
Tai He Lianbin was at the peak of the Great Divine Core stage, even a half-step into the Human Immortal realm.
Because of his high cultivation level, his status within the sect did not lag much behind Fengdu's, making him quite spirited.
Those who angered him and the Western Kunlun would not fare well.
Fengdu's patience waned a little; after all, he was also a golden core elder.
Tai He Lianbin showed him no respect.
He huffed softly, "Since that’s the case, then Peak Master Tai He will coordinate the other five-star sects. Once you have united them, we will join forces to eliminate Mubei Immortal City, alright?"
Tai He Lianbin seemed oblivious to Fengdu's ridicule, instead bowing to the sect master and saying, "Sect Master, I can accomplish this. Allow me to unite the five-star sects. This time, I will invite the Nine Prefectures Mountain, Ancient Star Mountain, Three Saints Immortal Sect, Nine Paths Temple, Fog Sea Immortal Sect, and Tianyuan Sword Sect to take action together."
Cun He interjected, "Tianyuan Sword Sect and Nine Prefectures Mountain are foes; they might instead side with Mubei Immortal City."
Tai He Lianbin replied confidently, "That’s because there weren’t enough benefits. I assure you this time we can succeed in uniting them. Mubei Immortal City is but a small new force; their arrogance in Yuanzhou should have been crushed long ago."
Zhuo Cailou remained pensive for some time before speaking, "Alright, our golden core members are not so easy to kill. I will personally go to Nine Prefectures Mountain, Elder Fengdu will persuade the Three Saints Immortal Sect, and Elder Cun He will visit the Fog Sea Immortal Sect, while the rest will leave the task to Peak Master Tai He."
"Rest assured, I will definitely unite all the five-star sects of Yuanzhou!" Tai He Lianbin declared passionately.
...
Unbeknownst to Lan Xiaobu, the fact that he had killed Wen Wuqing had drawn the ire of Western Kunlun, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t have taken it to heart.
When Mubei Immortal City was attacked, he would be the first to know.
At this moment, Lan Xiaobu was joyously observing the Cosmic Dimension Matrix.
Although it hadn't constructed a grand formation to identify Earth Immortals, it had found an entrance to the cosmic abyss.
For Lan Xiaobu, this was sufficient.
Following the method the Cosmic Dimension Matrix proposed to enter the abyss, he began refining formation flags.
As he crafted the flags and arranged them, an entrance gradually began to take shape from indistinctness to clarity.
An hour later, he stepped directly inside, finding himself in a vast and boundless cosmic abyss.
As his divine sense swept in, it was immediately obliterated.
Although he couldn't penetrate the abyss using his divine sense, from his instincts, Lan Xiaobu sensed that this grand wall was vastly broader than the first cosmic wall.
The only difference was that standing here, there didn’t seem to be much pulling force.
A thunderous roar resonated, causing Lan Xiaobu to instinctively retreat.
The next moment, he felt fierce winds erupting around him.
The winds felt substantial, forming towering waves, with debris swirling in it like leaves tossed in a tornado.
He caught sight of some remnants of treasures and was silently impressed.
Beneath such a terrifying storm, even a low-grade flight immortal tool would likely be reduced to nothing more than splinters.
No wonder Chi Jiangnie warned Fang Ang that those below the Earth Immortal completion level should not approach the grand wall.
However, Lan Xiaobu drew closer to the cosmic abyss, wanting to feel the strong residual winds' might.
As the winds swept past him, they slammed into his body.
A powerful, tearing force threatened to rip his primordial spirit away, causing a tingling sensation on his scalp—was it trying to separate his primordial spirit from his body?
Panicking, Lan Xiaobu attempted to retreat, but this separating sensation completely locked his movements as if bound by some regulation.
The dreadful winds quickly tore apart his clothes, leaving his skin lacerated.
Startled, Lan Xiaobu frantically operated the Undying Technique.
Under such violent winds, even if his primordial spirit remained intact, his flesh would be shredded into pieces.
The Undying Technique’s power shone in this moment, as all the winds trying to tear apart his skin and primordial spirit transformed into a source for body refinement, continuously tempering his organs.
Initially, Lan Xiaobu struggled to fend off the winds with his true essence, but as time passed, he involuntarily moved along with the winds.
The closer he got to them, the more effectively he refined his body.
It was hard to tell how long had passed, but Lan Xiaobu felt his organs undergoing a sublimation, an invisible power nourishing his entire being.
He was overjoyed; here, he had completed the first stage of the Immortal Body's three stages, refining his organs.
What a phenomenal place for body refinement!
Just as he thought this, a wave of deathly energy swept over him, prompting Lan Xiaobu to quickly retreat.
To his shock, he had actually entered the cosmic abyss and wasn’t just at the shore.
Without a point of leverage, he struggled to shift his body.
In the next instant, a piercing cold killing intent penetrated his organs, sending blood spiraling up.
Lan Xiaobu briefly scanned with his divine sense, fortunate to see the edge of the cosmic abyss.
Thankfully, he hadn't been inside for too long.
Another wave of hurricane-like winds swept back.
Although he knew these winds helped refine his body, he dare not remain any longer.
That chilling beam had nearly claimed his life.
Had he not completed the organ refinement, he would have been struck down by that killing intent.
Swallowing a few pills, Lan Xiaobu hurled himself out of the abyss when he noticed a skeletal remains.
More accurately, it was only half a body, its hand tightly gripping something.
Summoning his divine sense, he sought to bring the remains over.
But the fierce winds shredded his divine sense.
Lan Xiaobu boldly charged forward, grasped the skeleton, but before he could turn around, an even more fearsome killing intent locked onto him.
At the same time, he noticed a ring being swept by the winds, yet he dared not reach for it, desperately trying to escape the cosmic abyss.
"Pop!" A blade of light cut through under his armpit, nearly severing half of his body.
Lan Xiaobu understood then why the skeletal remains were only half; the other half had undoubtedly been sliced away by that killing beam.
This terrifying beam was laced with frightful spatial forces, making it impossible for him to evade.
"Bang!" When a third beam swept over, Lan Xiaobu took advantage of its momentarily unformed intent to plunge out of the cosmic abyss, landing heavily on the ground.
What a power! Struggling, Lan Xiaobu hastily swallowed another Yulin Pill, astonished.
He suspected Shangguan Xiaoyi's master had been eliminated.
After all, her master was merely an Earth Immortal, and in a place like this, even body refiners had a hard time escaping the dire fate.
Lying on the ground, he surveyed the abyss.
His cultivation level should be sufficient to cross this place, but his body was too weak.
He had to refine himself to the pulse level to complete the three stages of the Immortal Body.
