I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 464: The evil ways of the shrine, the crisis from the Middle-earth Shenzhou!

"boom!"

This finger was filled with blood and a domineering and silent aura. Mu Fengbai retreated repeatedly in the air, and was knocked back several steps by his own finger. He staggered and almost fell.

There was a hint of confusion and trance in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan frowned.

After this attack, the aura in Mu Fengbai's body rapidly declined, and he fell directly from the Yuanxiang realm. Not only that, he couldn't even maintain the peak of Daotai, and only reached the late stage of Daotai. His face was pale, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

But above his eyebrows, there was an extra blood-red symbol, like a red chain.

"boom!"

There was no need for the Taoist puppet to take action. Gu Yuan's mind moved, and the innate Qi catching seal emerged from behind him. It directly crossed the void, grabbed Mu Fengbai, and captured him in front of him.

Although Mu Fengbai's face was pale and his breath was weak, he still had the strength of an ordinary late Daotai. Facing Gu Yuan's capture, he did not put up any resistance and let Gu Yuan capture him, even with a carefree smile on his face.

"what have you done?"

Gu Yuan's spiritual thoughts surged and fell towards the red blood symbol above Mu Fengbai's eyebrows, and he asked in a deep voice.

This blood talisman had mysterious and unparalleled restrictions, was extremely heavy, and was filled with bloody murderous energy. Even with his divine sense, he felt a slight stinging sensation when he touched it, making it difficult to detect.

“Hahaha, fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be angry. I just used the power of Yuan Xiang to lock up a trace of my memory. If someone forcibly searches my soul or devours it, the blood talisman will explode and instantly erase all my memories…”

Mu Fengbai smiled faintly and glanced at the heart-eating insect.

"Is this the purpose of this plan?"

"What exactly is recorded in the letter?"

Although he had guessed it in his mind, Gu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Mu Fengbai admit it himself.

Needless to say, this memory must be the letter from the Middle-earth China.

He used the power of Yuan Xiang not for killing, but just to lock up a trace of his own memory and use it to threaten the Taoist temple. He was willing to disregard his life for this.

What exactly was written in this letter that made Mu Fengbai so sure?

"I don't know what exactly is recorded. This memory is locked, and I can't spy on it myself. Otherwise, wouldn't the dream of the Venerable be full of loopholes?"

"Now, if I want to know the contents of this letter, I have to break through the Yuanxiang realm to unlock the restriction. Otherwise, even if a cultivator at the peak of the Yuanxiang realm comes to search my soul, he will not be able to spy on it."

"But I can tell you three words to show my sincerity. I only know these three words. I don't know the rest."

Mu Fengbai chuckled, then put his fingers together like swords and wrote six words in the air.

"Ancestor!"

"Return to the vein!"

"Come quickly!"

The six words circulated and flashed continuously in front of Gu Yuan's eyes, reflecting his flickering expression.

"Daoyou is really good at scheming!"

Gu Yuan looked at these six words and couldn't help but sigh.

This was the first time he called the other person "fellow Taoist".

The person in front of me is bold and careful, and good at making use of human nature. He is indeed a person with promising prospects.

In today's situation, even if the opponent has Yuanxiang combat power, it is difficult to change the situation, and life and death are in the hands of others.

Even if you want to surrender, Gu Yuan will not agree.

Although the other party is a quasi-Yuanxiang cultivator with great potential, if he joins the Taoist Academy, it is possible that the Taoist Academy will gain a new Yuanxiang cultivator.

But how could the Taoist temple dare to accept someone who turned against their allies in the middle of a battle and was born a demon?

If you want to surrender, you can do so by tying your hands, imposing restrictions, and letting the Taoist temple control your life and death, just like Liuyin Zhenren and others.

This is the "surrender" that the Taoist temple wants, safe and reliable.

But the other party obviously didn't want to do this.

He did not want to surrender on his knees, but wanted to stand, pay some price, and cleanse himself with relative freedom, so he made this tortuous plan.

In the current situation, there are not many options. One is to kill this person and forcibly search his soul to find out the contents of the letter.

But there is a high probability of failure.

Or should we accept this person's surrender and help him achieve Yuan Xiang?
Or should we just ignore what is in the letter and kill the man directly?
Or send someone to the Middle-earth Shenzhou to find the source of the letter themselves.

"Although the Middle-earth Shenzhou is far away, it is only a mere forty years. You are wrong to use this letter as a threat."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly and suggested the third option.

"Then fellow Daoist, go to the Middle-earth Shenzhou by yourself and look for the source of this letter."

"I am doing this just to try my best to survive. If it fails, then just kill me and I will have no regrets."

"I have already done what I can think of. Man proposes, God disposes. I have accepted it calmly since the day I started practicing self-cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fengbai did not make any further excuses and just smiled nonchalantly.

Gu Yuan actually admired this demeanor.

He originally had no intention of accepting this man's surrender. Even if he had to accept it, he would have to defeat him and make him submit to him like the Six Yin Immortals, and serve him.

But now it seems that I have to think of other options.

But this matter was of great importance, and he could not make a decision on his own. He immediately took out a sword from his sleeve and flew into the strong wind and clouds.

The six Yuan Xiangs were using all their strength to activate the main formation. Unless the situation was urgent, they would not distract themselves to enter the sub-formation.

But as Gu Yuan fired his sword, thunder suddenly flowed, and a phantom appeared out of thin air in the formation, and Gu Yuan immediately saluted.

The shadowy figure had white hair and beard and was holding a whisk. It was obviously the dean.

"Blood Soul Locking Curse?"

"Something interesting."

"I didn't expect that there are such interesting people in Wanling Island."

"Do you know the premise of your calculations for all this?"

There was a flash of lightning in the dean's eyes. He saw through Mu Fengbai at a glance and asked lightly.

"I know that it is because I have not hurt anyone and there is no blood on my body. I can barely be considered a saver and my crime does not deserve death!"

As soon as the dean appeared, Gu Yuan released his hold on Mu Fengbai. The man immediately bowed and answered the dean respectfully.

"good!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of admiration flashed across the dean's eyes.

Threaten the Taoist temple? Achieve the Yuanxiang?
No matter how big the events in the Middle-earth are, it is difficult for them to affect the Dongshan Region. This is the Taoist Academy's base. It is simply wishful thinking to want to threaten the Taoist Academy with a letter.

If the situation was really urgent and out of control, it wouldn't just be a letter.

The prerequisite for plotting against the Taoist temple is that you are still a "savior".

If you are a real devil, do you still want to achieve Yuanxiang?
Without this awareness, there is no way you can clear yourself of wrongdoing.

"It is not impossible to break through the Yuan Xiang, but you need to set up restrictions and be bound by a great oath. You must serve for 500 years and protect the Dao Academy with all your heart and strength. In the future, you must also do your best to look after the Dao Academy's life and death."

"You can be free, not slave!"

The dean looked at the six words in the air and said lightly.

It is a good thing to be able to obtain a Yuanxiang, but it also needs to be controlled. It only gives you freedom, but your life and death are not controlled by others.

"Disciple Mu Fengbai, hello to the dean!"

Upon seeing this, Mu Fengbai bowed his head without any hesitation and saluted respectfully to the dean.

Although he lost some of his freedom, he got a chance to clean himself up and achieve Yuan Xiang safely. Mu Fengbai finally felt relieved. Until now, he has realized that unless he can enter the Four Seas Dragon Court, the Xuanmen is still the most respected on land, and only those with roots can live longer.

"Master Donghua is the head of the Taoist temple. He controls all matters of the Taoist temple, and he can also control you!"

The dean looked at Gu Yuan and added another sentence.

"The guilty cultivator Mu Fengbai, I pay my respects to the dean. I have been disrespectful to you before, I hope you will forgive me!"

Mu Fengbai bowed deeply again and saluted to Gu Yuan.

"You should congratulate your fellow Taoist for having earned your freedom."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan chuckled and felt a little admiration in his heart.

He is able to bend and stretch, and bow deeply, worthy of being a top monk who walked out of the devil's cave.

"What's in the letter?"

The dean was just a clone here and didn't have much time, so he asked Mu Fengbai simply and clearly.

"Please wait a moment, Dean!"

Mu Fengbai had already figured out everything in his mind, and when he heard the dean asking, he stopped hesitating, took out a golden knife from his sleeve, and cut off a strand of his hair.

After this strand of hair was cut off, it immediately turned from black to white, then turned completely white and then disappeared with the wind.

"boom!"

Along with the disappearance of the white hair, the momentum in Mu Fengbai's body surged again, and with a bang, he rushed into the realm of Yuanxiang again.

"clang!"

As his realm broke through, the blood-colored soul spell above his brow suddenly opened like a golden lock.

The power of Yuanxiang only lasted for a moment and then dissipated, but in this instant, Mu Fengbai had retrieved his locked memories.

Only by breaking through the Yuanxiang can the soul-locking blood curse be broken. This is true, but he cannot really let the Taoist temple wait for him to break through. Although his realm is extremely high, breaking through the Yuanxiang is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Therefore, he had already made arrangements for a backup plan, and directly sacrificed forty years of his own life to obtain a breath of life.

This is his last trump card. If the Taoist temple is unwilling to accept his deal, he will fight to the death.

"Here is the golden sword and jade letter. Please take a look at it, dean."

Mu Fengbai took out the letter, presented it to the dean, and said tremblingly.

Breaking through again will have huge consequences.

This time, his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't even maintain his cultivation in the late stage of Dao Tai, and fell directly to the early stage of Dao Tai. Fortunately, his realm did not fall permanently, and he could still recover after recuperation.

Cleanse yourself, go ashore, drop your realm, recuperate, and slowly break through, this is also part of his plan.

The dean took the letter, his mind surged, he glanced at it, and immediately shook his head and sighed.

"Just wait and see, and we can discuss it after we break this formation."

"Even if someone has already abandoned the dark and joined the light, there will be no generals available on Wanling Island, and breaking the formation is just around the corner."

The dean waved his sleeves and handed the letter to Gu Yuan, then waved his sleeves again and disappeared.

Gu Yuan took the letter, glanced at it, and was immediately surprised.

"Master, I, your disciple Yuanhua, present this."

"My disciple has entered the Central Plains of the Divine Land since the 36,129th year of the Immortal Calendar. It has been 260 years now."

"I followed the rules and searched for the traces of the ancestors, intending to contact the Heavenly Palace. I never stopped for a day."

"It is difficult to cause trouble, but I, as a disciple, owe the academy a great favor, so I should do my best."

"But the sky was not good enough. The golden bell was shattered, blood rained across the sky, and the Supreme fell!"

"Alas!"

"The Supreme One has fallen, the True Immortal is no longer here, the Heavenly Palace is even harder to contact, and the whereabouts of the Patriarch are even more elusive and untraceable."

"If that's all, I won't bother the dean. However, the death of a true immortal has shaken the Nine Provinces. The Linchuan Dao School wants to act tyrannically and even wants to expel my Qingfeng Dao School from Tianhe Province, put it on the list of lewd temples, and include it in the left-handed stream."

"It's a pity that our Taoist temple was inherited from the Purple Sky Immortal. How can it be reduced to a shrine of evil and lewdness?"

"The tool and name cannot be lent to others. If you return to the temple of obscenity, all my disciples who enter the Central Plains of China will be imprisoned or expelled from the state and will not be allowed to go ashore."

"If a man does not think ahead, he will have immediate worries. The master is ambitious and enterprising. I know this very well. Without the name of the Middle-earth Divine Land, where will our Taoist temple go?"

"Now, the only way to survive is to return to the orthodox tradition."

"With the help of the master's secret treasure, this disciple is only one step away from entering the realm of Dao Embryo. However, this level of cultivation is just average in the Central Plains of China, and is lost among the crowd."

"But I have lived in Tianhe Province for many years, and I still have some opportunities. I can delay for a while. I also ask the dean to immediately select the Tianjiao Jindan disciples in the academy and send them to Shenzhou to help me and preserve the reputation of the Taoist academy."

"Let's not even talk about the cultivation level of the person we send here, but he must be extremely gifted, have a natural body of Taoism, and have an extraordinary understanding."

"Please send him away immediately!"

"Disciple, Hu Yuanhua pays respect to you!"

The letter was full of sincere feelings and words of helplessness and confusion.

"Break into the lewd temple and the evil ways?"

When Gu Yuan saw this, he was also startled.

Although he didn't know the specific situation, he thought that obscene temples and evil practices were definitely not a good thing.

If it were to be turned into a lewd temple, could his Taoist temple still enforce justice, punish the good and promote the evil, and wield the stick of morality?
The most crucial thing is that "all disciples of the Taoist temple, once they enter the Central Plains of China, will be imprisoned or arrested, or expelled from the state and will not be allowed to go ashore." What a severe punishment this is.

The four regions of the world are all remote and poor places.

If you want to be famous, you can't avoid the Middle-earth China.

If you are not allowed to enter the Central Plains of China, your path to immortality will be cut off!

This is a huge event for those who are determined to make progress in the Taoist temple!
"Wanling Island!"

Gu Yuan put away the letter, exhaled a breath, and looked at the several fourth-level demons who were struggling with the Heart-Eating Bug and others and were trapped in the formation, with murderous intent in his heart.

Such an important and confidential matter was not received by the Taoist temple because of the arrogance of Wanling Island, which robbed treasure ships and blocked the waterway. The person who sent the letter may have died.

The reason why the several factions hit it off so easily may be closely related to the waterway of Tongtian River.

I would rather make a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Although the top cultivators from several major sects in Dongshan Domain want to be the leaders, this route cannot be cut off, otherwise they will really lose their hope of achieving immortality.

Mu Fengbai's methods and character were extraordinary, and he earned a surrender, which temporarily put the matter to rest.

But these demons must be killed!
"boom!"

Gu Yuan's mind moved, his spiritual power surged, and his sword energy became fierce. He assisted the Heart-Eating Bug and others to capture all these demons and control their cultivation.

"No!"

Mu Fengbai turned against them, and the fate of these demons was already sealed. No matter how much they screamed, it was of no avail, and they were all captured.

"boom!"

The Taoist puppet leaped up and hung in the sky, showing its fifth-level strength, assisting the dean and others to further suppress the earth veins.

The three sub-arrays operate as one, transmitting a steady stream of spiritual energy to nourish the larger array.

The entire Wanling Island was silent for a moment, with only the roaring river as the sound.

Just like that, three months passed.

Four terrifying auras, unable to bear it any longer, leaped up from the Ten Thousand Demons Island.
