1047 This is the Immortal World! (3)
The three light barriers shattered instantly.
Shui Ling’s expression changed, and just as she was about to step back, she felt a chill on her back. Slowly turning around, she saw a long sword floating three inches away from her neck, just outside her collar.
The silent approach of the long sword was not the most terrifying thing.
The fact that the long sword shattered three barriers was not the most terrifying thing either.
For Shui Ling, the long sword was already three inches away from her, bypassing her protective treasure, a green spirit pearl, without any reaction.
This was an immortal treasure, a supreme treasure that could even defeat a Heavenly Venerable. Why couldn’t it block this sword and why didn’t it even show the slightest reaction?
“Excellent swordsmanship.” Multicolored radiance shimmered in her eyes, and a blush appeared on Shui Ling’s face.
Trying to see through this sword forcibly caused her Qi, blood, and power to recoil.
“In the mortal world, there are still people who can control the power of time to such an extent. Impressive.”
The sword seemed to be right in front of her, but it remained fixed three breaths ago.
The protective treasure could defend against enemies face-to-face, but it couldn’t stop enemies from the past.
How could she block an attack from three breaths ago?
One sword shattered space.
One sword flew into the river of time, backtracking three breaths.
Could such swordsmanship exist in the mortal world?
Even in the immortal realm, would such techniques only be possessed by top-tier experts?
Shui Ling’s gaze returned to Han Muye.
He claimed to have come to discuss a transaction, yet he first used such swordsmanship to intimidate her.
“Friend, I wonder if we can still have a good discussion about this business?”
Was this business still fair?
How could one negotiate a business deal with a sword?
Han Muye’s expression remained unchanged as the long sword returned to its sheath in an instant, and the shattered void in front of him was restored as if it had never been struck by that sword.
He really hadn’t used that sword!
Only now did Shui Ling’s eyes widen.
Even Jia Wu and Patriarch Bai Ze turned their heads, their eyes flashing with fear.
From beginning to end, Han Muye hadn’t drawn his sword.
He had only used his powerful sword intent to stimulate the backlash of space in this world, then broke through the river of time and swept away the thousand feet of space around Shui Ling.
What Shui Ling experienced were all illusions in the river of time.
If she had really fought to the death, in that instant just now, she would have been directly drowned in the river of time, with no chance of returning!
This was the terror of controlling the power of time and space!
You didn’t even know how the other party would make a move or when.
“I want your clan to propagate in the world I control, but you must not encroach upon the living space of other creatures.”
Han Muye looked at Shui Ling and spoke calmly.
Upon hearing these words, a smile appeared on Shui Ling’s face. She gently shook off the green lotus at the corner of her dress and reached out to touch the green pearl on her head.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re not the first person to say this.
“Tell me, what price can you pay? Or should I say, what price are you offering?”
The nature of the Spiritual Armored Demon Clan made them suitable to be used as whetstones.
Without top-notch experts, this clan wouldn’t truly intimidate other worlds.
Over countless years, many powerful beings from various worlds had come to lure the Spiritual Armored Demon Clan.
Clearly, Shui Ling had experienced too much. Even Han Muye’s control over time and space couldn’t make her retreat.
Business was business.
“You can choose between the two options.”
“First, an immortal treasure.”
Han Muye looked ahead and spoke softly.
Immortal treasures.
This deal was no small matter.
Even though Shui Ling already had two immortal treasures in her possession, it didn’t mean she didn’t need more.
Han Muye directly offered an immortal treasure, which caught her attention.
However, she didn’t immediately agree. Her eyes remained fixed on Han Muye.
“The second option is that we will go to a world and you can come with us.”
Go to a world.
Just a single world?
Shui Ling’s gaze swept over Han Muye and then looked at Jia Wu.
“If it weren’t for my research on the power of the divine soul, I would probably have chosen the first option without hesitation.”
A smile appeared on Shui Ling’s face, with a hint of longing in her eyes.
“For experts like you, using the Immortal Ascension Platform to step into the Immortal World and wasting a thousand years in the Spirit Transformation Pool is definitely not something you want.
“Therefore, the place you’re going to must be directly to the Immortal World.”
At this moment, Shui Ling no longer exuded the same profound and mysterious aura as before. Her face was filled with desire.
“Take me there.”
80 million Spiritual Armored Demons of various cultivation levels were arranged to go to the world where Han Muye and his companions were located.
After arriving there, they needed to obey the commands of Shui Yue’er and Bai Zeyu for control and coordination.
These eighty million Spiritual Armored Demon Clan members couldn’t engage in indiscriminate slaughter. They could only exist as whetstones in the cultivation realm.
Shui Ling personally took out a token containing her bloodline power and handed it to the elderly leader who commanded the eighty million clan members. The elder would then pass it on to Shui Yue’er.
After that, Han Muye, Jia Wu, Patriarch Bai Ze, and Shui Yue’er, who was wearing a set of green armor, quietly left.
This world was connected to many other worlds by barriers, and as long as they were broken, they could traverse through them.
The four of them traveled through more than thirty cosmic domains, engaging in battles with numerous powerhouses. It wasn’t until three years later that they finally stopped in an empty galaxy.
“The timeline here is the same as our Source Heaven Star Domain, and it’s far from the corresponding Immortal Ascension Platform.
Han Muye looked at the surrounding void, and beams of spiritual light flashed, transforming into stars.
Every star was the heart of a star, the source power of a world of stars.
Only with such immense power could a grand array be set up to traverse between the immortal and mortal realms.
With the 36 Dao stars as the foundation, pieces of top-grade spiritual rocks flashed.
Even before the grand array was activated, Shui Ling was already amazed.
What kind of background did this guy have?
“Buzz!”
Spiritual lights intersected in the 100,000-foot array.
At this moment, the entire array began to shimmer, and the space was torn apart.
A black and gray void appeared.
“Senior, after breaking through this void, I’ll step into the Immortal World with you. However, I won’t stay for long.”
Turning to look at Jia Wu, Han Muye said loudly, “A year in the Immortal World is a hundred years in the mortal world.
“The Immortal Ascension Platform will open in 3,000 years. It’s only 30 years for the Immortal World.
“I’ll leave when the Immortal Ascension Platform opens.”
Han Muye had put in so much effort to nurture experts for the day when he could utilize them.
Naturally, he wouldn’t just quietly go to the Immortal World.
Moreover, with Mu Wan and the others present, he wouldn’t go to the immortal realm alone.
However, he wanted to take a look at the immortal realm by opening the teleportation array.
“Heh, kid, you’re worrying too much.
“It’s good to go to the Immortal Ascension Platform.” Jia Wu shook his head and chuckled.
The Transformation Pool of the Immortal Ascension Platform could rid them of worldly affairs in a thousand years. For cultivators like Han Muye, it was actually a good thing.
“Let’s go.” Han Muye raised his hand, and the pillar of light in the array instantly tore through the void.
He took a step forward and disappeared into the void.
Jia Wu and Patriarch Bai Ze wore the same expression on their faces, took a deep breath, and followed suit.
Shui Ling’s eyes flashed, “Immortal World, here I come…”
“Boom!”
When Han Muye stepped into the solid space, lightning descended from above.
Countless lightning bolts transformed into chains that struck directly.
“For intruders from the mortal realm who trespass into the Immortal World, the punishment is a ten-thousand-year sentence in the Bitter Immortal Realm for mining!”
A loud shout echoed, and the green immortal light intertwined and entangled with the lightning chains around his body.
Han Muye’s heart stirred, allowing the lightning to bind him.
Behind him, Jia Wu and Patriarch Bai Ze immediately flew in two different directions, their bodies radiating spiritual light, transforming into green immortal auras.
“Han kid, take care of yourself!” Jia Wu’s voice came through, but he was already gone.
This was the Immortal World, and he had no intention of helping Han Muye.
Besides, he did not believe that Han Muye would be captured so easily.
Just as Shui Ling arrived, she flickered and disappeared, protected by the immortal light.
“Caught one out of the three trespassers. This is quite a good mission.”
“Let’s see if there’s any benefit to be gained.”
A figure landed in front of Han Muye and reached for his collar.
But as the man in black armor extended his hand, he muttered to himself and retracted it.
A golden light shimmered on Han Muye’s body, transforming into a golden sword.
“Oh, so you’re a high-ranking member of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect. You should have said so earlier. We’re on the same side.
“I’ll release you from the bindings, sir.”
Han Muye deliberately chose this location as a crossing point to the Immortal World, which was under the jurisdiction of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect.
He had the token of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect’s Heaven Patrol Hall Master and also the inheritance. When the protective sword light appeared, he was naturally recognized as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect.
“Let’s go, take me to meet the Sect’s Chief Guard.” Han Muye released the chains, adjusted his clothes, and spoke aloud with his hands behind his back, the sword aura on his body shimmering.
The man in black armor quickly bowed and raised his hand, summoning a green sword before landing on it, leading the way ahead.
With each step Han Muye took, the sword aura entwined around his feet.
It was only at this moment that he looked up, took a deep breath, and surveyed this world.
This was the Immortal World!
