The Second Volume of Struggling for Hegemony in the Xian Tian Realm Chapter 26: What is a Scattered Immortal (Tickets that are both loved and hated)

  "The so-called loose immortals are actually the failed cultivators of the true way. There are two types of loose immortals: one is the cultivator who knows they cannot pass the heavenly tribulation during the later stages of their cultivation and thus disperses to become a loose immortal, while the other is the type whose physical body was destroyed and had no choice but to cultivate as a loose immortal. This type of loose immortal is relatively weaker than the first type before passing the second loose immortal tribulation. Only after passing the second loose immortal tribulation and becoming a three-tribulation loose immortal does their strength become roughly equal. Loose immortals need to pass through a loose immortal tribulation once every thousand years, for a total of nine times. After passing all nine loose immortal tribulations, they will directly reforge their physical body and achieve the great Luo Golden Immortal. The loose demons are also the same in this regard. And this three-tribulation loose immortal who came this time is slightly stronger than even the high-ranking cultivators of the true way's greater vehicle stage." Ouyang Qiuyu explained to his wife.

  "It's like that, these scattered immortals are quite pitiful, having to go through the scattered immortal tribulation every thousand years. Going through so many difficulties is truly frightening." Murong Wanqiu sympathetically said.

  Ouyang Jiayu smiled and said with deep meaning, "You say that the loose immortal is pitiful, but some people can clearly pass through the heavenly tribulation, yet still choose to disperse their cultivation as a loose immortal. Do you know why?"

  Murong Wanqiu shook his head, puzzled and said: "Being able to transcend the heavenly tribulation and ascend to become an immortal, yet choosing to disperse as a loose immortal instead? Is there some special benefit to being a loose immortal that's better than ascending to the realm of immortals and becoming an immortal?"

  "The benefits, well, there aren't any, but as I said earlier, these three dispersing immortals are slightly better than the Mahayana period of true cultivators. In other words, in the cultivation world, dispersing immortals above the third tribulation are invincible to true cultivators. For some ambitious people, ascending to the immortal realm can only make them a minor member among many immortals, while choosing to cultivate as a dispersing immortal can make them an unparalleled expert in the cultivation world, and even dominating the cultivation world is not impossible."

  Murong Wanqiu nodded in understanding, since ancient times, people with such ambitions have been countless.

  "They're coming up, good wife, your cultivation has also broken through to the middle of the Yuan Infant stage. How's your comprehension of formations and seals?" asked Ouyang Qiu Yu.

  Murong Wanqiu smiled slightly and said, "I've only grasped the basics of array techniques and seals. I can currently use some relatively simple and commonly used arrays and seals."

  Ouyang Jiuyu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "Forget it, these people think this is the practice cave left by some scattered immortal predecessor, thinking they can come in to find something, thinking there will be beneficial treasures. Anyway, we don't plan to make this place our sect's base, scaring them away is enough, it's not necessary to pursue their crime of destroying the array and restrictions."

  "Scare them away? How can I scare them?" Murong Wanqiu asked in puzzlement.

  Ouyang Jueyu smiled meaningfully and said mysteriously: "A powerful immortal."

  At this moment, dozens of people came from outside the formation. One was a three-tribulation scattered immortal, one was a Mahayana period cultivator, and the others were all above the Out-of-Body period cultivation. Each person's heart was greatly shocked by the formation restrictions on this mountain peak. The person who can set up such a formation restriction must not be an easy-to-deal-with person, and they are even more convinced of the rumors that have been circulating for two years.

  For the past two years, a legend has been circulating among the Eastern cultivators that there is a cultivation cave left behind by at least seven scattered immortals in this place. As a result, people have been coming to break through the formation and lift the ban one after another. However, because the formation's ban was too powerful, the cultivations of those who came were not high enough, so no one had been able to lift the ban until recently. In the past few months, the cultivation levels of those who came to break the formation have been getting higher and higher, including some masters of formations and bans. Some relatively weaker formations and bans were slowly broken, but after breaking through two-thirds of them, the remaining ones were all exquisite formations rarely seen in the Cultivation Realm. Those people had no choice but to leave, and the actions of many powerful cultivators finally caught the attention of several major powers in the East towards this scattered immortal's cultivation cave.

  "Jinling Daoist friend, do you see that this formation still has restrictions? Even the protective formations of the major sects in the Xiuzhen realm may not be stronger than this one. Do you have a way to break the formation?" The Mahayana period expert's eyes shone brightly as he asked slowly.

  San Xian Jin Ling's body burst out with a majestic aura as he heard the words, and he laughed loudly: "Lu Lie Dao friend, the stronger this formation is, the better the things inside are. Look at the formation restrictions here, it's very likely that there are even sacred artifacts inside. As for breaking the formation and restrictions, we dozens of people aren't just eating plain food, without a corresponding method to break the formation, then we'll use the most primitive method, using force to break the formation. As long as we follow a certain method, with you and me as the main attackers, and the others as auxiliary, taking turns to attack the formation base continuously, within three months, we can definitely break all the formations and restrictions."

  "Hmm, it can't be helped. Let's start breaking through then." Luo Lie nodded in agreement and said.

  Just as they were about to break through the formation, a vast and majestic aura burst forth from within, growing stronger by the second. Those with weaker cultivation were already paralyzed on the ground, while even powerful experts like Jinling Yue and Luo Lie couldn't muster a single thought of resistance. The eyes of everyone present were filled with shock and awe, as if the sheer aura alone was enough to suppress any notion of fighting back. What kind of expert had they encountered?

  "Hmm".

  A cold hum echoed in the minds of the crowd, and dozens of people felt a daze in their minds. When they came to, they were all shocked and frightened, and they all knelt down to pay homage to the mountain.

  "Why have you come to destroy the formation seals on Qingfeng Mountain?" The voice that was devoid of joy or anger sounded again.

  "Elder, I'm a junior who misheard that this was a cultivation cave left behind by a senior scattered immortal, but I didn't expect it to be the elder's own cultivation place. Please forgive me, elder." Jin Ling Yue said respectfully. However, in his heart, he thought: When did Bi Lu Xing have such an incredibly powerful figure? Just now, that aura was at least that of a seventh tribulation scattered immortal. A seventh tribulation scattered immortal is equivalent to a heavenly immortal, and there are only a handful of people with this level of cultivation in the entire cultivation world.

  "Yes, senior, we were all deceived by rumors. Please enlighten us." The crowd came to their senses and followed suit.

  "Hmm... Since you didn't intentionally offend me, I won't pursue your responsibility. You can all leave now." The voice sounded again.

  Everyone was overjoyed and hastily thanked him before quickly leaving.

  "Bad husband, is it just that simple?" Murong Wanqiu's eyes blinked involuntarily.

  Ouyang Jiayu burst out laughing and said, "If your husband is hiding in the dark pretending to be a master, I'm afraid no one in the entire cultivation world can see through him."

  "Bad husband, you just said that you didn't plan on making this place our base of operations, so where are we going?" Murong Wanqiu asked.

  Ouyang Jiayu's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment of contemplation, she said with a hint of a smile, "You should also let them meet their master's wife."

  "Ah... Master... Mistress?" Murong Wanqiu's face was slightly flushed, and she looked at Ouyang Jieyu with a scolding expression. This bad person didn't even know how many things he hadn't told her, not to mention that he had an apprentice without telling her either.

  Ouyang Jiayu wrapped his arms around his wife's slender waist and chuckled, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet them." As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of movement took Mu Rong Wanqiu away from the scene.

  Alas... no draft saved, can't keep updating, Zhou Chen's ranking can't even break into the top 20, time is not on my side!
