FIRST IMMORTAL OF THE SWORD

Chapter 1392 - Demonic Golems



Chapter 1392 - Demonic Golems

His sixth incarnation seemed unable to believe his ears. “You... want me to beg you?”

“That’s right,” said Su Yi, as if it were perfectly obvious.

His sixth lifetime burst into laughter, as if he found this incomparably ludicrous.

But Su Yi wasn’t laughing. He said with complete seriousness, “You can also choose to offer up your experiences, revelations, legacies, and secret tomes regarding the Path of Transcendence of your own accord.”

His sixth incarnation’s laughter faded, then disappeared completely.

But it seemed Su Yi wasn’t at all worried about offending him. He continued, entirely unperturbed, “You and I are the same person to begin with. Sooner or later, we’ll compare mental strengths and compete for control of this body. Given that that’s the case, there’s no need to be cagey about anything cultivation-related.

“After all, flaws in my Dao won’t benefit you at all, don’t you think?” Su Yi said calmly and unhurriedly, as if he were commenting on the weather.

But his words enraged his sixth incarnation to the point of laughter. “Nothing but the ravings of a madman! There’s absolutely no way I’ll give you even the slightest guidance unless you beg me!”

With that, he no longer uttered a peep. He was obviously furious.

But Su Yi just laughed. “Don’t speak in such absolutes. Before too long, I’ll seek out an opportunity to break into the Nascent Divinity Realm. You’re welcome to change your mind in the meantime.”

Unlike the Temple Master and Shen Mu, his sixth incarnation was tyrannical, aloof, cold, and indifferent. He fully intended to replace Su Yi.

But how could Su Yi possibly give him the opportunity?

More importantly, Su Yi was confident that if he showed signs of leaving flaws in his cultivation base, his sixth incarnation would be even more frantic than he was!

With that, Su Yi paid his sixth incarnation no further heed. His sixth incarnation didn’t say anymore either. It was as if they were silently fighting to see who gave in first.

But although his sixth incarnation didn’t know it, Su Yi was like a fisherman seated comfortably on the pier, just waiting to reel his catch in...

......

Three days later.

Only five days remained until his duel with Hong Feiguan.

Li Zhong came to visit, saying he was here on orders to escort Su Yi to the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Su Yi thought for a moment, then agreed. 𝖋𝔯𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝖇𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝖈𝔬𝖒

“No need to hide it from you, Fellow Daoist Su. One of the Mo Family’s immortals in the Human Realm has agreed to ensure that after the curtains open on your duel, you’ll face no external interference,” Li Zhong said with a smile.

Both Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha were startled.

An immortal of the Mo Family would serve as their guarantor of fairness?

This had extraordinary significance!

But what the two Cloud Soaring experts struggled to understand was... why the Mo Family would do such a thing. Weren’t they afraid of offending the other factions of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone?

Even though Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha didn’t grasp the secrets behind this decision, they obviously felt much calmer. No matter the Mo Family’s reasoning, this was good news!

That very day, Su Yi left Mount Clearmoon, and he and Li Zhong began their journey to the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

......

Throughout history, the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone had been one of the stars’ most dangerous forbidden grounds. People paled at the mere mention of its name.

The Temple Master had once explored it, but alas, at the time, the entire Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone was shrouded in calamitous, restrictive power. There was no advancing any further.

Now, things were completely different.

Over the past twenty years, numerous unbelievable changes had occurred here. Numerous ancient orthodoxies had awakened from dormancy and risen again, but that wasn’t all. Numerous ruins from the End of the Dharma had appeared too.

It was even fair to say that the changes taking place throughout the stars had originated here!

The Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone was like the ancient orthodoxies’ home base. In the eyes of the general populace, it was like a dragon’s lake or a tiger’s den!

A day later, Su Yi and Li Zhong arrived in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Heaven and earth were boundless, and a dense, desolate air filled the skies of this majestic landscape.

Entering this place was like turning back the passage of time. These lands seemed ancient and primeval.

“It’s completely different from when I last visited...” sighed Su Yi. As soon as he arrived, he sensed that the Laws here contained a power far loftier than those of the outside world.

Furthermore, the ambient spiritual energy was incomparably dense. It too far surpassed the outside world!

There was no need to even question it. Here in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, there were indeed opportunities to prove his Dao and step onto the Path of Transcendence!

“Fellow Daoist Su, my young mistress has arranged a banquet, and we’re just waiting for you to arrive. All we have to do is proceed directly to Verdant View Immortal Mountain,” Li Zhong said with a laugh.

Verdant View Immortal Mountain was the Mo Family’s home base.

Su Yi nodded. “Very well.”

On their way here, Li Zhong told Su Yi all about the current situation in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

There were over a hundred ancient factions distributed throughout these lands. However, only about a dozen were considered top-class.

These included the Profound Divinity Sword House, the Red City Daoist Sect, the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect, Allspirit Immortal Mountain, and several others.

Their ranks included Demonists, yao cultivators, sword cultivators, and Daoists.

These top ancient factions practically all had immortal revenants to hold down the fort!

However, according to Li Zhong, these immortal revenants had only just started to regain their awareness. They couldn’t even explore the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone freely, let alone the outside world.

The immortal revenants were practically all hidden in their respective sects’ forbidden grounds under numerous layers of protection to ensure that nothing went awry.

Aside from the ancient orthodoxies, there were numerous other immortal factions here.

An “immortal faction” was any faction that originated in the Immortal Realm. These included Mo Qingchou's, Fu Dongli's, and Hong Feiguan’s families of origin. Each was considered an immortal faction.

There were currently about twenty of them dispersed throughout the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. However, about half of them no longer really qualified as “factions.” Their numbers were just too small.

Even so, small numbers didn’t imply weakness. Every immortal faction, no matter its size, had foundations and power sufficient to intimidate even ancient orthodoxies!

And among these immortal factions, the Mo and Hong Families were the cream of the crop. These top immortal factions had both numerous powerful subordinates and immortal revenants in residence!

The relationships between the ancient orthodoxies and immortal factions were complex. There was absolutely no simple way of categorizing them.

For instance, the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower was obviously a faction of sword cultivators, but they were on relatively good terms with the Hong Family, a clan of Demonists.

There were too many such instances to count.

Su Yi couldn’t be bothered to concern himself with all that. He just needed to differentiate between enemies and not-enemies. That would be plenty.

......

Whoosh!

Li Zhong led Su Yi, and the two of them shot into the distance.

Along the way, numerous cultivators, all of them revenants, saw them approach. All of them moved further away.

“Isn’t that the Mountain-Overturning Yao Monarch who follows Mo Qingchou?”

“That’s him!”

“Does that mean that young man beside him is Su Yi, the one who controls the secrets of reincarnation?”

“I’m sure of it!”

...After Su Yi and Li Zhong left, the revenants started discussing their arrival, and word spread immediately.

Of late, clouds had been gathering throughout the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone, and dark currents flowed beneath the surface. Every major faction was paying attention to Su Yi and Hong Feiguan’s imminent duel.

And the Mo Family had already announced that they’d oversee this duel.

Furthermore, rumors of Li Zhong repeatedly making contact with Su Yi had been circulating for a long time. When they saw the Mountain-Overturning Yao Monarch appear with an unknown young man, it would have been difficult for them not to have connected the dots.

“I wouldn’t have guessed it, but it seems I’ve already got quite the reputation here.” Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

This was his first time visiting the Forbidden Immortal Flying Zone since his reincarnation.

But it seemed the revenants of ancient orthodoxies knew of his imminent arrival, and furthermore, they recognized him at a glance!

“Fellow Daoist, you control the secrets of reincarnation. What revenant doesn’t know your name?” Li Zhong laughed. “But please, rest assured. Even if they’ve discovered our location, no one will dare act up before the appointed duel. If they do, the Mo Family won’t be the only ones to object. The Hong Family absolutely won’t let them off either.”

He’d only just said this when——

Boom!

A distant stretch of sky exploded, and a black divine arrow shot explosively toward Su Yi. It was unbelievably quick, and the shaft of the arrow was swathed in electric immortal light. It bore a hole through the sky, leaving behind a startling rift.

Crunch!

Su Yi pressed his fingers into a sword and slashed the air. The black divine arrow shattered while it was still over a hundred feet away.

“Wasn’t that 'acting up?'” asked Su Yi.

Li Zhong’s smile froze in place. His cheeks were as hot and red as if he’d been slapped, and his expression darkened.

But before he could respond——

Boom!

Thunder rumbled and boomed throughout the surrounding landscape.

Arrow after arrow fell like rain, each swathed in black lightning. They descended explosively upon Su Yi from all sides, and they were so dense and numerous that they blotted out the sun.

Countless rifts tore open throughout the surrounding skies.

Li Zhong’s heart thudded in his chest, and a single thought rose unbidden to his mind. They’ve undoubtedly planned this ambush thoroughly!

His sleeves billowed around him, but just as he was about to attack, Su Yi sprang into action.

“Go!” Su Yi swung his sleeve through the air, and streaks of sword qi filled the sky, like countless beams of light. They were dazzlingly radiant, forceful, and tyrannical.

In the blink of an eye, countless arrows broke. Explosions rang out continuously, and a current of destructive power swept outward.

And Su Yi’s figure flashed and disappeared.

A moment later, he reappeared at the peak of a mountain tens of thousands of feet away, stretched out his hand, and grabbed.

Boom!

The ten-thousand-foot mountain exploded into bits.

A figure shot out of the base of the mountain, turned, and fled into the distance. However, before he’d gotten far, Su Yi grabbed him and pulled him toward him.

He was a man in black with a wooden expression. His face was pallid, and his eyes were bright red.

When Su Yi dragged him toward him, his wooden expression gave way to a strange and sinister grin.

Su Yi’s eyelids twitched, and he tossed the man in black away.

Boom!

The man in black exploded, stirring up a terrifying current of blood-red destructive power. The surrounding ten thousand feet of sky shattered.

That power was comparable to the full-force attack of a Cloud Soaring Transcendent!

Although Su Yi dodged immediately, the flood of destructive power made him stagger on his feet, his blood and qi churning.

His eyebrows rose.

A Demonic Golem!

These were monsters akin to puppets.

But the man in black who’d just exploded was obviously no ordinary Demonic Golem. His strength had been comparable to a Cloud Soaring revenant!
