Chapter 221: Slaying the Golden Immortal (Silver Alliance Shangguan Yulin Bonus Chapter 3)
Lan Xiaobu explained, "Now that the rules of the Five Realms Immortal World have just been established, countless sects will spring up like mushrooms after the rain. Under the laws of heaven, any sect can only be established once. This means that if someone else establishes the Great Desolate Immortal Sect and it is recognized by heaven, we will never be able to establish it again. That's why I must establish the Great Desolate Immortal Sect now."
Fu Qianhen didn't hesitate at all.
"Sect Master, I, Fu Qianhen, am willing to join the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. For the sake of this pure land in the immortal world, I am willing to follow in your footsteps and contribute my strength to the Great Desolate Immortal Sect."
Chang Qingshuang bowed deeply.
"From this moment on, I, Chang Qingshuang, am willing to follow the Sect Master and Senior Brother, dedicating my strength to the Great Desolate Immortal Sect."
Qi Hanfu also bowed.
"I, Qi Hanfu, am willing to join the Great Desolate Immortal Sect. May the tragedy of the Medicine Fragrance Valley never happen again."
Gu Dao's eyes darted around a few times before he spoke up.
"Wherever Boss Lan goes, I'll follow. East or west, I'll go wherever he says."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qianhen and both Senior Sisters for your help. Let's go find a location for our sect and set up the Great Desolate Immortal Sect," Lan Xiaobu said, bowing in gratitude.
No matter how good an idea is, it can't be realized without help.
Fu Qianhen spoke seriously, "Sect Master, from now on, you shouldn't call us Senior Brother or Senior Sister. Without rules, there can be no order."
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand.
"Titles aren't important. What matters is what we do. Let's go find a location for our sect."
With a new goal in mind, both Chang Qingshuang and Qi Hanfu buried their grief deep in their hearts.
Chang Qingshuang had been plagued by guilt, feeling that she bore the main responsibility for the destruction of her sect.
But now, with a new purpose, that guilt was set aside, and everything was focused on striving for this new goal.
The rules of the Five Realms Immortal World had just been established, and as Lan Xiaobu and his companions traveled, they found various refining materials scattered everywhere—remnants from the chaotic rifts.
Not only were Lan Xiaobu and his group frantically collecting materials, but any cultivator who wasn't busy cultivating was also gathering resources.
As they traveled, they occasionally saw simple formations enclosing large areas, with signs declaring them as the territory of some sect.
"Sect Master, are we too late?" Qi Hanfu couldn't help but ask.
"No," Lan Xiaobu replied firmly.
The Five Realms Immortal World was vast and boundless, and there were bound to be many excellent locations.
Besides, they were still relatively early.
"Actually, don't be fooled by these areas that people have claimed as sect territories. In truth, they're still searching elsewhere. Once they find a better location, they'll abandon this place immediately," Lan Xiaobu added.
"Then let's also find a few locations first and pick the best one later," Qi Hanfu suggested, thinking this was a good idea.
"We can't do that," Lan Xiaobu said.
"Establishing a sect is a matter that aligns with the laws of heaven. Once you choose a location as your sect's base, it becomes the place where your sect's legacy and fortune gather. If you abandon it without reason, that fortune will dissipate, and the future of the sect will be bleak."
Fu Qianhen hadn't been very familiar with Lan Xiaobu before, but after learning that Lan Xiaobu had saved Chang Qingshuang and Qi Hanfu from Yan Chengjian at the Qifeng Immortal Pool, he began to see Lan Xiaobu as extraordinary.
Later, when Lan Xiaobu produced the Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom—and not just one—Fu Qianhen was even more impressed.
The Five-Colored Immortal Mushroom was indeed a treasure that one could obtain with good luck.
But under the laws of heaven, did anyone really think that "good luck" came so easily?
When Lan Xiaobu declared that he would pave the way where the path was uneven, Fu Qianhen became convinced that Lan Xiaobu's future was limitless.
As the senior brother of the Medicine Fragrance Valley, though he couldn't compare to the disciples of top-tier sects, he still had his own insights.
Two months later, they still hadn't found a suitable location for their sect, but they had collected an increasing amount of materials, even finding many ninth-grade immortal materials.
One day, as their Jihai Cloud Boat flew over a mountain range, Lan Xiaobu suddenly stopped.
The area was barren, the kind of desolate mountain range they had seen countless times before—mostly remnants of the world's fusion, and the least suitable for a sect base.
Yet, deep in his heart, Lan Xiaobu felt that this place was suitable for the Great Desolate Immortal Sect.
"Construct a dimensional model of this area," Lan Xiaobu ordered the Cosmic Dimensional Matrix, while instructing the others to disembark from the Jihai Cloud Boat.
"Sect Master, this place is unremarkable. The immortal spiritual energy isn't dense, and it's far inferior to the places we've seen before," Qi Hanfu said, puzzled.
They had seen many places that were perfect for a sect base—places with mountains, water, and dense immortal spiritual energy.
This place, however, was just a barren wasteland with a few low hills.
There were no mountains, no water, and no dense immortal spiritual energy.
In the Five Realms Immortal World, where immortal spiritual energy was abundant everywhere, such a desolate wilderness was indeed rare.
"Wait, let me take a look around first..."
Lan Xiaobu began inspecting the area when Gu Dao suddenly shouted, "Boss Lan, I sense something good up ahead!"
"Lead the way, let's check it out," Lan Xiaobu said immediately.
Gu Dao had a natural sensitivity to spiritual treasures, a trait common to many divine beasts.
Gu Dao sprinted ahead, and after just the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he stopped.
Before Lan Xiaobu and the others was a massive, dark, metallic object, about ten zhang in diameter, partially buried in the ground.
"This is definitely something good," Fu Qianhen exclaimed, sensing the chaotic aura emanating from the metal.
"This is Chaos Iron Mother," Lan Xiaobu said in awe.
Chaos Iron Mother only appeared during the creation of a chaotic world, and yet here it was in the Five Realms Immortal World.
"Hahaha..."
A wild laugh echoed as a man of average build landed not far from Lan Xiaobu and his group.
His eyes swept over the Chaos Iron Mother, gleaming with greed.
Then his gaze fell on Fu Qianhen.
"Since you're a Golden Immortal, I'll let you and your people go. Consider this a mercy."
Fu Qianhen looked at Lan Xiaobu, who thought to himself that this was where the Medicine Fragrance Valley fell short compared to other sects.
The Medicine Fragrance Valley specialized in cultivating immortal herbs, and they were more knowledgeable about the properties of immortal herbs than anyone else.
But in other areas, they were clearly lacking.
If Lan Xiaobu were a Golden Immortal, he would have already attacked based on the man's words alone.
Lan Xiaobu didn't speak.
Instead, he summoned the Seven-Tone Halberd into his hand.
The man was only at the late Golden Immortal stage, at most a peak Golden Immortal.
On their side, besides Fu Qianhen, a Golden Immortal, there were two True Immortals and Lan Xiaobu himself, a second-level Earth Immortal.
Lan Xiaobu was certain that the man wouldn't even spare him a glance.
A second-level Earth Immortal, no matter how strong, wouldn't be taken seriously by a Golden Immortal.
The Golden Immortal indeed didn't pay much attention to Lan Xiaobu, but when he saw the Seven-Tone Halberd in Lan Xiaobu's hand, his eyes lit up.
What a fine halberd, was his only thought.
"Attack!" Lan Xiaobu shouted, swinging the halberd and sending a blade of energy hurtling toward the man.
Fu Qianhen summoned a long spear, which transformed into a flurry of spear shadows, attempting to lock down the surrounding space.
"Let Lao Zaiyu see what a few little ants are capable of," the Golden Immortal sneered, summoning his own weapon—a heavy hammer.
No wonder he was so excited upon seeing the Chaos Iron Mother.
If he could obtain it and forge a hammer from it, his strength would increase by several levels.
The hammer swung, and a violent surge of immortal energy instantly tore through Fu Qianhen's spear shadows.
Lan Xiaobu was like a leaf caught in a storm, flung backward by the overwhelming force of the immortal energy.
Fu Qianhen sighed inwardly.
Lan Xiaobu's strength was still too low.
The gap between an Earth Immortal and a Golden Immortal was vast.
If he fled now, the others would surely die.
With that thought, Fu Qianhen changed his spear technique, no longer trying to lock down the space but instead sending a massive spear strike toward Lao Zaiyu, shouting, "Sect Master, I'll hold him off. You all need to leave now. This man is too strong; I'm no match for him."
Indeed, Fu Qianhen was no match for Lao Zaiyu.
The man was a late-stage Golden Immortal, his combat skills honed through countless battles.
Fu Qianhen had only recently reached the Golden Immortal stage, and even as a True Immortal, his combat prowess had been average at best.
Now, as a Golden Immortal, his strength was below average for his level.
Escape? The concept of abandoning his companions and fleeing had never existed in Lan Xiaobu's dictionary.
The Seven-Tone Halberd swung again, sending another blade of energy toward Lao Zaiyu.
But once more, Lan Xiaobu was overwhelmed by the hammer's force, spitting blood as he was sent flying.
"Pfft!" A spray of blood erupted as a blade of energy from Lao Zaiyu's hammer tore through Fu Qianhen's chest.
At the same time, Qi Hanfu's weapon was struck by the hammer, and the backlash of immortal energy sent her flying, blood spraying from her mouth.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was about to charge at Lao Zaiyu for the third time.
"Little ant, aren't you afraid of death?" Lao Zaiyu sneered, gathering his immortal energy.
Another blade of energy shot from his hammer, aimed directly at Lan Xiaobu.
He was done toying with Lan Xiaobu; this time, he intended to kill him outright.
In Lao Zaiyu's eyes, Lan Xiaobu would be sent flying dozens of miles before perishing under the blade of energy.
Sensing Lan Xiaobu's danger, Fu Qianhen ignored his injuries and desperately thrust his spear toward Lao Zaiyu.
Chang Qingshuang also summoned her weapon, attacking Lao Zaiyu without regard for her own life.
Their grand ambitions had yet to be realized—how could they die here?
To Lao Zaiyu's shock, despite the increased force of his immortal energy and the overwhelming pressure, Lan Xiaobu wasn't sent flying.
What was going on?
"Pfft!" The blade of energy pierced through Lan Xiaobu's chest.
But at that moment, Lao Zaiyu felt a surge of danger as several Soul Thorns struck his Sea of Consciousness.
Lao Zaiyu was horrified, his divine sense frantically trying to repel the attack.
Fortunately, Lan Xiaobu's strength was far inferior to his, so the Soul Thorns only distracted him and didn't cause serious damage.
"Boom!" Lao Zaiyu's hammer weakened, striking Fu Qianhen's spear with a loud crack, shattering it.
Fu Qianhen spat another mouthful of blood, now severely injured.
Lao Zaiyu felt no joy.
Instead, he sensed the aura of death.
Then he saw a halberd shadow appear out of nowhere, cleaving through his skull in an instant.
Spatial technique? That was Lao Zaiyu's final thought.
(That's all for today's update.
Goodnight, friends!)
