I Became An Immortal On Mortal Realm - Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Chapter 324: Doom God, Time of Ascension
 

The elder in the green robe was surprised by the words of the Extremely Evil Old Immortal and examined him, as if he couldn’t believe he had such enlightenment.

The Extremely Evil Old Immortal, annoyed by his stare, huffed, “What are you looking at? I’m about to die at the hands of my own disciple. Wouldn’t you even grant me one last request before I die?”

The elder in the green robe calmly responded, “I must oppose Tiandao Fangwang, and your disciple has karmic ties with the Fang Family, perhaps even a close relationship with Fang Wang.”

“He has already taken the evil path and will inevitably stand against Fang Wang, so you need not worry. However, I warn you, do not use him as a pawn, for you still owe me a life,” the Extremely Evil Old Immortal declared, staring intently at the elder in the green robe.

The elder in the green robe looked away toward the horizon and said solemnly, “Once I have flattened the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty, I will take care of your disciple.”

Upon hearing this, the Extremely Evil Old Immortal nodded in satisfaction.

He then asked, “Fang Wang is at the peak of his power. Do you truly wish to clash with him to the death? Why do you insist on destroying the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty? What great enmity?”

Hatred as deep as the ocean, and it’s not just about my grudge. Many forces are behind me, some bearing enmity, others faced with conflicts of fate—it’s quite common. The fate of the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty has run out; its end is inevitable. No matter how strong Fang Wang is, trying to protect Emperor Donggong alone is beyond his capabilities.”

The elder in the green robe answered, his words stirring even more curiosity in the Extremely Evil Old Immortal about which powers stood behind the green-robed elder.

However, he knew better than to ask, as it would be taboo.

The Extremely Evil Old Immortal turned and spoke, “You better not die before me and find someone else to take your disciple. I don’t have that many connections.”

The elder in the green robe did not respond, and the Extremely Evil Old Immortal leaped into the air and swiftly disappeared into the horizon.

Once the presence of the Extremely Evil Old Immortal had completely vanished, the elder in the green robe murmured to himself, “My life and death are beyond my control.”

…

The Emperor has died!

This news spread rapidly through the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty, plunging the already troubled dynasty deeper into an abyss. Not just the commoners, but even cultivators from various sects and clans within the Cultivation World began to waver, contemplating whether to flee the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty.

Plague, Heart Demon…

Invisible and intangible dangers shrouded the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty. The unknown was the most terrifying.

Full of civil officials and great cultivators in the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty could not trace the source of the catastrophe and could only do their best to aid the people. When Hong Xian’er brought Xiao Zi to the Pilgrimage Manor, another person arrived.

That was Hong Chen.

Hong Chen didn’t disturb Fang Wang and left on her own.

It wasn’t until four years later, just as Fang Wang had broken through to the seventh level of the Heaven-Breaking Realm and was still consolidating his cultivation, that Hong Chen came to visit.

After entering the great hall, Hong Chen and Fang Wang sat down at the table and drank face to face.

Hong Chen’s expression was grave as she said, “It was the Immortal Gods from the Upper Realm who intervened.”

“What?”

Fang Wang furrowed his brows. The Immortal Gods from the Upper Realm had intervened? Was it that serious?

Why didn’t the Immortal Gods appear themselves?

Hong Chen didn’t keep him in suspense, continuing, “According to my investigations over the years, it should be the Doom God from the Immortal Court who intervened. The heavenly timing has not yet come, so the Immortal Gods cannot directly descend to the Mortal Realm, but the Immortal Court has always been wary of the Mortal Realm. Heaven Emperor has even cultivated his own secret agents among mortals, those who inherit the powers of the Immortal Gods, particularly the Power of Doom from the Doom God.”

“The Immortal Court has ample means to lend their mana to mortal devotees, ostensibly assisting them, but in reality, using the devotees to carry out their own schemes.”

“If you insist on protecting the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty, even with exceptional abilities, you will attract the attention of the Celestial Court of the Upper Realm, which is not a good thing.”

Fang Wang fell silent, lost in thought.

Hong Chen did not disturb him and continued to wait.

After a long while.

Fang Wang asked, “If I were to protect the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty, will the Celestial Court send down Immortal Divine?”

“Yes, but not until the ascension period eight hundred years from now.”

“Eight hundred years?”

“Isn’t that a bit surprising, thinking you can bridge the gap in eight hundred years? But don’t delude yourself. Even with your talent, catching up to the Immortal Divine is not a matter of a millennium. The pinnacle in the Mortal Realm is Celestial Qiankun, and there’s no breaking through that ceiling. Even if you become a Great Saint or Great Emperor, the gap is still vast. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to ascend? Then it’s best you restrain your heart. Every ascension period, you must hide until you truly possess the ability to rival the Immortal Divine.”

Hong Chen spoke earnestly.

Fang Wang fell into thought again.

Hong Chen added, “Even if you stand up now, you might not win. I have deduced that the forces targeting the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty have extensive karmic ties, with over a hundred Saint Clans and Imperial Clans alone. You are almost fighting against half of the Eastern Mortal Realm.”

After hearing this, Fang Wang couldn’t help but laugh, “Emperor Donggong really knows how to make enemies.”

Hong Chen said, “Rather than saying he made enemies, it’s more accurate to say he is feared. They fear the emergence of a second Emperor Donggong from the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty. The Mie Jue Divine Tome is a sword hanging over the heads of all clans in the Mortal Realm. This time, you don’t have Emperor Donggong to uphold justice for you. Once you make a move, it will be a fight to the death.”

He stared at Fang Wang, very seriously.

Fang Wang looked up at him and asked, “Once the war starts, if I want you to lead Wangdao in protecting Grand Qi, and even the Descending Dragon Continent, can you do it?”

Hong Chen narrowed his eyes, speaking slowly, “A single general’s success is built on ten thousand dry bones. If you fail, you will involve countless people—your family, your disciples, your friends, even your loved ones.”

Fang Wang countered, “If I have to consider every possibility that might involve others, what can I do? Even if I do nothing and hide, they will still face their own crises. I don’t care about all that; I just follow my own Dao heart. Some things, I must do.”

They stared intently at each other, the atmosphere growing heavy.

Suddenly.

Hong Chen laughed, stroking his beard, “Very well! Excellent!”

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow, asking, “What? You laugh in anger?”

“If you can’t stand against half the Mortal Realm for righteousness, how will you dare to defy the Immortal Divine when faced with the prospect of the Mortal Realm being blood-washed?” Hong Chen spoke, his tone filled with admiration.

He continued, “Rest assured, I will not only protect the Descending Dragon Continent, but I will also lead Wangdao to guard the Grand Yu Divine Dynasty. It’s about time the entire Mortal Realm knew both the existence and strength of Wangdao.”

“This battle is not only for a victory but also to make a name known throughout the Mortal Realm!”

Fang Wang asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I will come into the view of the Immortal Court early, making it impossible for me to avenge you later?”

Hong Chen chuckled, “Do you really think the Upper Realm hasn’t been watching you? They just can’t deduce your specific fate and karmic ties. When the ascension period comes, they will definitely make a move, so since it’s inevitable sooner or later, why not help you become a Saintly Emperor before then?”

Fang Wang jokingly asked, “You’ve said that being a Great Saint or Great Emperor isn’t enough to wrestle with the Immortal Divine.”

“That’s true for others, but you’re different. Besides, even if I die, I can simply reincarnate.”

Hearing Hong Chen’s words, Fang Wang pointed at him, shaking his head with a laugh.
