When the old deer secretly descended to the mortal realm, he stole this treasure and brought it along with him. After that, he was brought back to the Heavenly Court along with the sceptre by Lord Longevity God.
Now that the Great Calamity had passed, and the White Deer Demon had managed to escape from the calamity, the Wyvern Sceptre would naturally fall into his hands.
Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu let out a sigh. As his Qin strings were vibrating, sword qi wasn’t attacking the hall spirit anymore. Instead, it vaguely pointed towards the White Deer.
“Don’t be greedy about this place anymore. Just try your best to escape.” Zhang Buxu shook his head and let out a sigh.
The White Deer Demon’s strength alone was enough to suppress everyone other than the hall spirit.
And yet, he colluded together with the hall spirit.
Even if the hall spirit didn’t attack, and concentrated on completing his ritual, the situation would still be bad for them.
Zhang Buxu strided forward, and went up against the White Deer Demon.
He wasn’t being selfless. Instead, it was because the White Deer Demon’s target was him, as he was the only Profound Immortal present.
The others were no threat to the White Deer Demon who had Five Qis Unification.
Sure enough, the White Deer Demon was smiling. He extended his hand and grabbed towards Zhang Buxu.
With his five fingers wide open, the power of the Five Elements started circulating. A part of the world seemed to be suppressing towards Zhang Buxu.
As the demonic qi was skyrocketing, it seemed to resemble the changes in profundities displayed by the Jade Clear Lineage’s Cyclic Heavenly Scripture and Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.
Once upon a time, Lord Longevity God of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace was also a disciple of the Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord.
The White Deer Demon’s supreme arts and techniques were mostly taught by Lord Longevity God. After that, he would fuse them together with his demonic arts, which would pave a pathway which was suitable for him.
Zhang Buxu’s gaze turned serious. He plucked the Qin’s strings, and the Qin melody started spreading. They were systematically turned into jet black sword-lights, and were intersecting within the void. They formed into a condensed and sharp sword net, and blocked the opponent’s palm.
After that, red light flickered from his body, and he started escaping towards another direction.
The White Deer Demon didn’t hold the black sword net in high regards. His palm still grabbed towards it.
As his palm descended, a voice suddenly resounded.
It wasn’t the White Deer Demon that spoke. Instead, following his actions, sounds resounded.
It sounded like multiple Heavenly Immortals singing a carol together. Within the void of the Pill Hall’s internal universe, runes were being lighted up, and were fusing with one another to form bands of lights.
As the bands of lights were vibrating, a divine voice which was very pleasing to listen to, and filled with extraordinary profoundness resounded within the part of the world.
After the initial sound, the sonorous melody slowly became softer.
It wasn’t because the melody became softer. Instead, it became much more profound, and was hard to understand. It included the profoundness of “The better the music was, the lower it sounds. The better the image, the better it looks when it’s ethereal and faraway.”
As this sound sounded, other than the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu who was in the Profound Immortal Realm, everyone else felt as if their spirit was going to completely turn hollow. They felt that they were slowly succumbing into a state of ignorance.
Nothing to think of, nothing to contemplate, nothing to miss, and nothing to remember.
Everything turned blank. It was as if their entire body was being refined together with this melody of great dao.
The phenomenon of the peerless infinity appeared within Yan Zhaoge’s body, which caused his soul and thoughts to be more relaxed. However, he could still feel his circulation of mind being oppressed.
He didn’t do anything, nor did he display any special expressions. He was just quietly observing. He saw that the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud had already appeared on top of his father’s head, and was constantly switching between swirling and resting.
While he and Yan Di’s conditions were slightly better, Long Xueji and He Mian looked sluggish.
The Cloud Conquest Emperor was also slightly better. However, he was in a state where he was constantly circulating between being clear-headed and being sluggish.
“… Sonorous Voice of the Great Dao!” Yan Zhaoge let out a very long sigh.
Leakless True Immortal.
Tranquil Profound Immortal.
Grand Virtual Immortal.
Grand Virtual, also known as Great Virtual. They were the representatives of all cultivators. They were virtually tranquil because of how vast the dao was. They were the foundations of the world, and even surpassed life creation.
With Five Qis Unification within one’s chest, only by then would one be able to truly come in contact with the profundity of the great dao.
If someone cultivated to that level, they could discard their title as a martial art practitioner. Instead, they could call themselves dao practitioners.
The Sonorous Voice of the Great Dao was the most obvious characteristic displayed when Virtual Immortals fought each other. It was ingenious and ethereal, and was filled with profundities which were hard to interpret.
When the sonorous melody resounded, even a Leakless True Immortal which had pushed open the Immortal Door would be oppressed, which would render them into a state where they were unable to feel anything.
For martial arts practitioners, it wasn’t anything bad. It was more convenient for them to gain insights towards the profundities of martial arts. With only slight efforts used, they would be able to accomplish great results. It was a profound state where people desire.
However, if they were under this state when fighting against someone, it would render them defenseless, thus unable to do anything about their opponent’s attacks.
As a Profound Immortal, Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu wasn’t oppressed by the Sonorous Voice of the Great Dao by the White Deer Demon. However, when the sonorous voice resounded, his Qin’s melody became negligible and insignificant.
The White Deer Demon used his bare hands to grab the dark sword net, and tore it apart.
After tearing the black sword net, his palm continued going downwards, and was grabbing towards Zhang Buxu.
Zhang Buxu quickly played the Qin with ten of his fingers. Crimson, white, green, and black coloured sword lights were flying all around in the sky.
Different coloured sword-lights were fusing together by a group of twos and threes. They were constantly changing, and were intersecting with each other as they danced around. They were performing a soul-stirring piece.
The Qin’s melody became louder again. While it was still insignificant compared to the Sonorous Voice of the Great Dao produced by the White Deer Demon with a wave of his hand, it wasn’t dissipating. It remained for a long time, and wasn’t muffled by the opponent’s melody.
The White Deer Spirit made his move. The brilliant great sun started to slowly return back to the dark void.
Yan Zhaoge felt an ice cold gaze on him.
Within the gaze, the hatred and killing intent was so intense that Yan Zhaoge was wondering if the opponent would just stop the ritual to dispose of him first.
However, the hall spirit did not take action in the end.
The White Deer Demon looked at the brilliant great sun that was going to disappear. His eyes flickered as if he had just thought of something.
However, he felt a sense of irritation when he looked at Zhang Buxu who was in front of him.
He felt embarrassed when he couldn’t immediately take down his opponent when he was the one who attacked.
Just as he wanted to punish Zhang Buxu, the White Deer Demon’s ears suddenly trembled.
He immediately raised his head, and swept his gaze around.
As if he felt something, the White Deer stared angrily at the brilliant great sun that was going to fade, and yelled, “Who’s that?”
“Enemy.” The Pill Hall hall spirit said coldly.
Currently, through the North Ocean Clone in the central control hub, Yan Zhaoge could see that another group of intruders had intruded the Pill Hall.
There wasn’t only one of them. However, the one in front of them was as fast as lightning. Within a short amount of time, he had already traversed through layers of void, and was entering the core area which was engulfed in black shadows.
The Pill Hall’s cosmos and space which was intricate seemed like nothing to him.
As he entered, the shadow engulfing the core areas like the Purple Divine Pavilion and Pill Storage were all dissipating.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1267 - Possessing a Earlier Heaven Nascent Form!
As the person intruded, the light screen in front of the North Ocean Clone located in the central control hub became blurry. It was difficult to continue displaying the mechanisms and pathways of the insides of the Pill Hall.
As for the medicine storage area where Yan Zhaoge and the others were, a fire was kindled among the cosmos’s void.
The fire did not approach from far away to a nearer distance. Instead, from the moment it was kindled, the raging flames had devoured the cosmos void, and turned the black cosmos into a flaming world.
The White Deer Demon’s facial expression turned unsightly when he saw this. Facing the fire, he placed the Wyvern Sceptre in front of his chest.
He turned around, looked at the Pill Hall hall spirit, and scolded, “You already knew about such an existence beforehand. You had already planned to let me be your cannon fodder? How dared you!?”
“Thy also desired the disposal of me and the others together.” The hall spirit – Awakened Sky answered peacefully, “If thy wanted to deal with me, thy is still destined to face him. Does it matter if thy knew?”
The White Deer Demon sneered, “Your forged body was refined from a vast amount of spirit pills, medicines, and precious resources. Let me dispose of you first, and acquire these treasures. As long as I get to keep them, it doesn’t matter how much I managed to acquire!”
After he finished speaking, he didn’t care about Zhang Buxu anymore. He raised his Wyvern Sceptre, and smashed it against the great sun that was going to disappear!
When the scepter smashed against the great sun, the brilliant great sun that seemed ordinary, but was slowly fading into the darkness was immediately forced out of the void.
Under the horrifying pressure, the great sun distorted, and its shape transformed from a round shape to an oblate shape!
The hall spirit, which could withstand the combined attacks of the three Prime Clear Sword Cultivators – Lofty Sovereign, Cloud Emperor, and Long Xueji, was now having difficulties withstanding the White Deer Demon’s attack.
The brilliant great sun seemed like it was going to shatter.
However, a human silhouette slowly emerged from within the great sun and was slowly getting clearer and clearer.
It was a boy’s figure with a five to six years old appearance.
On the white face which was delicate, a hint of childishness could not be seen on his face. Only ice-cold seriousness remained.
Between his brows, he was filled with brutalness and fierceness. He was staring coldly at the White Deer Demon.
When Yan Zhaoge saw it, he immediately understood that it was the body the Pill Hall’s hall spirit had forged for himself.
However, Yan Zhaoge felt that something was even more off when he was looking at the body, “There’s something weird about it…”
In the next moment, the boy clasped his hands together. After that, the sunlight which engulfed him slowly shrunk.
Without waiting for the White Deer Demon’s scepter to come crashing down, the boy suddenly extended his hand and pushed forward with his might.
The great sun formed by the brilliant sunlight exploded on its own. Golden lights started spreading continuously everywhere.
However, below the boy’s body, the golden lights were being compressed inwards until they collapsed, and a huge black hole was formed.
Using the golden light as a form of defense, the boy successfully dropped down into the black hole.
The White Deer Demon was stunned.
It was because the Pill Hall’s hall spirit’s ritual hadn’t been completed yet.
However, he stopped the ritual himself and utilized the explosion to flee.
As a result, while he managed to escape, his ritual had failed.
It was a chance that would never return a second time. Once he failed, all his efforts would be for naught.
With the eyesight of the White Deer Demon, he could even see that the boy’s body was slowly disintegrating. It seemed like it was returning back to the form of numerous divine pills and spiritual treasures.
“To hide from his opponent, he gave up so easily?” The White Deer Demon felt that something wasn’t right.
Unfortunately, the old deer didn’t have much time to think about it.
In the faraway fiery sea, it vaguely resounded with a dragon’s roar. A tall figure walked out from within the fire. His hair was short, and his eyes were like thunder.
While the old deer wanted to chase after the Pill Hall’s hall spirit, the fire dragon was already lunging itself towards him.
On the other side, Yan Zhaoge and the others were affected by the gravitational force of the black hole, and everyone fell into it.
The black hole immediately disappeared. The old white deer was both surprised and furious. However, he could only fight against the new opponent before him.
After entering the black hole, space seemed to be in constant change and was in a total state of disorder. After a while, everything returned back to normal.
“We’re still within the Pill Hall’s internal cosmos space. However, we do not know where we are located.” Yan Zhaoge observed his surroundings.
The light screen in front of the North Ocean Clone in the central control hub was still blurry. The control central hub was basically crippled now, and it was hard to determine Yan Zhaoge’s current location.
However, even so, Yan Zhaoge could still feel that the space he was in was still trembling. He also felt the heat.
The ongoing battle was affecting the whole universe inside the Pill Hall.
The hall spirit wasn’t in the Purple Divine Pavilion now. Yan Zhaoge even suspected that the hall might be destroyed by the battle.
Needless to say, with such a power, cultivation, and concept of power, the person that came was Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang.
He arrived in time and managed to help Yan Zhaoge and the others from the sticky situation they were in. However, he also gave the hall spirit Awakened Sky an opportunity.
“As expected, something’s weird about that hall spirit’s ritual.”
Yan Zhaoge now understood.
The hall spirit – Awakened Sky conducting his ritual in the medicine storage was just his first plan.
If everything went well, and he was successful, nothing else would be necessary.
However, if something went wrong, he would use the ritual to escape.
For example, if Yan Zhaoge were to threaten him, or was plotted against by the White Deer Demon, or even if Suo Mingzhang came in with the intent to kill.
However, if those happened, he would need a backup plan.
“Other than that, his ritual is a bit weird…” Yan Zhaoge frowned, “He is the Pill Hall’s hall spirit, not a Martial Repository spirit like me. How did he know of such an unpopular supreme art? Who taught him that?”
“And his backup plan…”
Yan Zhaoge dare not delay any further. He quickly strode forwar
d.
The lingering smell of medicinal fragrance served for Yan Zhaoge as a navigator.
After following the fragrance for a while, Yan Zhaoge found his target.
Within the dark void, purple and golden lights were radiating.
Within the purple light, a man in black was sitting in a lotus position. It was Nie Jingshen!
Previously, Nie Jingshen didn’t manage to reach the Pill Hall in time.
However, the PIll Hall’s hall spirit stopped the ritual and changed his location solely for him!
This was the hall spirit’s backup plan.
For a hall spirit like him, he should not be able to possess a human body in order to become human.
However, with the myriad of things around the world, there was always an exception.
Nie Jingshen’s Earlier Heaven Nascent Form was the Pill Hall’s hall spirit, Awakened Sky’s exception. His body was the only body that could be taken over and would enable one to immediately become a human.
The two people that would threaten him, which was Suo Mingzhang and the White Deer Demon were both fighting each other now, which allowed the hall spirit to do whatever he wanted to.
Yan Zhaoge even suspected that this was the hall spirit’s original plan. Everything that happened previously was just to distract and mislead everyone.
Currently, Nie Jingshen was sitting in a lotus position and was guarding himself internally. He was trying to prevent the hall spirit from taking over his body.
On top of his head, the body of the boy which the hall spirit, Awakened Sky, had created beforehand was also forming hand seals with both of his hands. His hand incarnations were constantly changing.
The body was condensing and dissipating. It was close to collapsing.
However, this didn’t affect his overbearing strength.
His strength was unable to be classified using Daoist martial arts practitioner’s realm as a standard. However, his horrifying aura wasn’t any weaker compared to the White Deer Demon.
The one he wanted to take over was Nie Jingshen, a mere Human Immortal. It made Nie Jingshen’s struggle seem futile!
