I have a world of immortality

Chapter 1016 Meeting
Chen Lingming stepped onto the steps formed by the water flow and walked towards the misty Five Emperors Mountain step by step.

Although his face was calm, his heart was filled with emotion.

When he left, he thought he would never come back.

As Chen Lingming stepped into the mist, his figure gradually blurred. The three outer sect elders of Yiyuan Xiancheng had different expressions. Elder Lianshui, who was in the lead, couldn't help but ask, "Daozi, have you really thought it through?"

Chen Lingming paused slightly, nodded without turning around, disappeared in the colorful rays of light, and entered the Five Emperors Mountain.

"Long time no see, Uncle Mude."

As soon as Chen Lingming came in, he saw the Lord of Mude Mountain waiting for him.

The Lord of Mude Mountain was a thin scholar. In response to Chen Lingming's greeting, he nodded as a return gesture, and then silently took Chen Lingming to the hall on the top of the mountain.

"The scenery here hasn't changed much since I left..."

On the way, Chen Lingming spoke with a hint of meaning, but Lord Mudeshan remained silent.

Soon, they arrived at the hall.

The other three mountain masters had been waiting for a long time.

"sit!"

When the Lord of Tude Mountain saw Chen Lingming coming in, he pointed to a cushion in front of him and spoke.

"I've met all of you, uncles."

Chen Lingming bowed politely to everyone before sitting down leisurely.

"Lingming, you grew up under our watch. We don't want to see you go astray, so we'll give you one last chance to turn back."

Lord Tudeshan spoke first. After Chen Lingming heard it, his eyes narrowed slightly with a look of confusion.

"Uncle Tude, I don't understand what you are saying. Didn't you call me here to negotiate today? Besides, I am now walking on an unprecedented grand road. You should be the ones who turn back."

The Lord of Jinde Mountain on the side could not help but scold him, "Don't think that you can be lawless and disrespectful just because you have formed an infant. This is the Five Emperors Mountain. We can suppress you with just a thought."

"It seems that the senior brothers don't really want to negotiate. What a pity. I wanted to save your lives..."

Chen Lingming sighed and shook his head, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave."

The vigorous and powerful voice of the Lord of Tude Mountain was heard, and then an invisible and vast force of heaven and earth surged in from all parts of the Five Emperors Mountain, pressing Chen Lingming, who had just stood up, back onto the cushion.

Chen Lingming felt as if his whole body was being pressed down by huge mountains, and it was difficult for him to even move a finger.

He wanted to activate the Hunyuan Qi to break it, but when Lord Tudeshan just stretched out his hand, he felt the Qi he had just gathered suddenly dissipate, and he even began to have difficulty breathing.

Upon realizing this, Chen Lingming knew that, with the help of the Dao Fruit over the years, Lord Tudeshan had not only cultivated the Hunyuan True Qi, but had even reached an extremely high level, almost the same as the original Five Great Elders.

"Uncle Tude, if I die here, the man from the Five Elements Sect will have a legitimate reason to come to the Five Emperors Mountain to settle accounts!"

But under such circumstances, Chen Lingming still spoke word by word, looking calmly at Tude in front of him.

"Lingming, are you so sure that the Five Elements Sect member will stand up for an outsider like you?"

Before Tude could speak, the mountain master Shuide next to him asked with a look of regret.

"What do you mean, uncle?"

Chen Lingming asked with a frown.

"The Five Elements Sect inherited the Dao tradition left by the One Yuan Patriarch when he was in the state of spiritual transformation. However, after the spiritual transformation, there was no knowledge of refining Dao fruit, secret methods of ascension, etc."

"That Chen Guixian is indeed a brilliant man. I have read all the information about him since his debut. It is not impossible for him to achieve Divine Transformation in the future. But precisely because of this, what he cares most about is whether he can make further progress after Divine Transformation, or even ascend to Heaven. This should also be the main purpose of his sponsoring your infant formation and manipulating you to come back."

"If we are willing to give him these inheritances, the condition is that he gives up you, agrees with our Five Emperors Mountain's declaration, and confirms that you have been expelled from the One Yuan Dao Palace and are no longer a Daoist. Do you think he will agree?"

The Lord of Tude Mountain spoke at this time.

In his opinion, Chen Mobai dominates the three border regions of Dongzhou and has almost no shortage of resources of all kinds. His only pursuit at present is to achieve divine transformation and the path after that.

Originally, the Lord of Bende Mountain wanted to confront the Five Elements Sect head-on, but after a period of testing, he found that the Five Elements Sect was not afraid of the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, and the other holy places in the East seemed to give more face to the Five Elements Sect rather than the Five Emperors Mountain.

After realizing that he couldn't suppress it with brute force, Lord Tudeshan used another method.

The rules of Yiyuan Taoist Palace are here. Even if Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli are dealt with today, there will still be the next generation of Taoist sons and saint daughters in the future.

As long as Chen Guixian of the East Wilderness Five Elements Sect is still there, they will not give up coveting the Lianxu inheritance, ascension secrets, etc. left by Yiyuan Zhenjun.

But if he reached an agreement with Chen Guixian and opened all these contents to the Donghuang Five Elements Sect in exchange for time to refine his Dao Fruit or even become a god, then he would be able to calmly deal with Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli and overcome the current difficulties first.

"If I were Master Chen, I would agree."

Chen Lingming thought about it and said this.

After all, Chen Lingming was not a direct descendant of the Five Elements Sect, and it could even be said that he had no relationship with them at all. He just called him Little Grandmaster out of necessity.

If he could exchange Chen Lingming's life and reputation for all the inheritance of Yiyuan Taoist Palace, it would be a great deal no matter how you look at it.

"Lingming, but we are still willing to give you a chance. If you are willing to turn back and testify on behalf of the Yiyuan Dao Palace that Chen Guixian of the Wuxing Sect manipulated you to ruin the reputation of the four of us, we are willing to let you return to Wudi Mountain. Not only will we give you the subsequent cultivation methods, but we will also pass on the Hunyuan Dao Fruit to you after your Nascent Soul is complete in the future."

But at this time, Lord Tudeshan changed the subject again and said these words.

Chen Lingming couldn't help but look surprised.

"Can you swear to pass on all the inheritance to me and provide all the resources of the sect to support me in my cultivation to the perfection of the Nascent Soul?"

If this is the case, Chen Lingming can consider going back to Donghuang to persuade Chen Mobai, for example, to pass the inheritance to the Five Elements Sect first, and then wait until he obtains the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and then give the Dao Fruit to the Five Elements Sect.

He allowed the Five Emperors Mountain and the Five Elements Sect to reach a cooperative relationship with himself as the hub. At the same time, he could also utilize the resources of both sides to cultivate to the perfection of the Nascent Soul in the shortest possible time.

"We can swear, but you have to promise us one thing."

When Lord Tudeshan saw that Chen Lingming was moved, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that the fish had taken the bait.

Chen Lingming: "What's the matter?"

Lord Tudeshan: "Like Xiao Yuli, she led the disciples of Yiyuan Dao Palace to participate in the war between good and evil. We gave her the resources to form a baby, the subsequent cultivation techniques, and helped her to obtain a spiritual vein in Dongli to support her in establishing a sect. And 25 years later, the True Lord Wuchen of Daode Sect wanted to open up the wasteland and kill the Golden Flame Suanni. You also happened to have formed a baby, and were qualified to lead Yiyuan Dao Palace to participate."

"I hope you can make contributions and obtain a Tongsheng Zhenling Pill for the Dao Palace. In this way, it can be regarded as your redemption of merit. In the future, we can also let you take over the position of the Grand Elder or even the Palace Master."

"If you are willing, we will naturally do our best to improve your cultivation."

After Chen Lingming heard this, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Then who will this Tongsheng Zhenling Pill belong to?"

Tudeshan Master pointed at himself and said, "As you know, there is no one in the Spiritual Transformation Realm in our sect right now. Although it is still the Holy Land of Dongzhou, it is already in danger. As the sect elder who is closest to a breakthrough, even if I have a high probability of death if I try to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm, I have no choice but to do it!"

When Chen Lingming heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Master, I'm afraid I will be afraid of fighting and flee at that time. You should ask someone else for help, or you can go out in person and open up the wasteland on behalf of Yiyuan Dao Palace."

"Evil creature, I gave you a chance but you didn't want it!"

When the Lord of Tude Mountain saw his ridicule, he couldn't help but get furious, and directly manipulated the Five Emperors Mountain formation, creating an even greater pressure, which directly forced Chen Lingming to lie down completely and kneel in front of him.

"Lingming, you have to know that even if you don't want to, we can still reach an agreement by negotiating with Chen Guixian of the Five Elements Sect. At most, the Tongsheng Zhenling Pill will depend on your ability, but you will definitely be abandoned."

Lord Mudeshan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke at this time.

"In that case, please ask the four uncles to go to the Eastern Wasteland and give it a try."

Chen Lingming, who was unable to get up, gritted his teeth and said this.

"Stubborn!"

Master Jin Deshan spoke in a cold tone.

"Let Lianshui and the others at the foot of the mountain contact the Five Elements Sect and invite that Sect Leader Chen to have a talk."

Lord Tude of Mountain spoke to Lord Shuide of Mountain beside him. The latter nodded, then waved his sleeves lightly, and a pool of clear water emerged, turning into a water mirror.

"Meet the four mountain masters."

After a while, the three outer sect Nascent Soul elders who were in charge of Yiyuan Immortal City appeared in the water mirror. When they saw Chen Lingming kneeling, they shook their heads slightly and saluted to Tude and the other three.

"Go and deliver this letter to Chen Guixian from the Five Elements Sect."

While Lord Shuideshan was speaking, he put the things he had prepared long ago into the water mirror. This mirror was like a portal, instantly transferring the letter to the eyes of Lianshui and the other two.

"Yes."

Lianshui took it and nodded slightly.

"Lingming, you will soon realize that you have missed your only chance to survive. When we reach an agreement with Sect Leader Chen, will it be too cruel for him to kill you with his own hands?"

The Lord of Tude Mountain said these words with compassion in his eyes to Chen Lingming who was kneeling in front of him.

"Brother, Lingming is just too young and hasn't seen the true face of the man from Donghuang. After a while, when he gets a reply from the other side, he will come to his senses. At that time, we should spare his life and imprison him in the back mountain."

The Lord of Mude Mountain showed an expression of reluctance and pleaded for Chen Lingming.

"No, we must root out the traitors and kill them!"

But the Lord of Jinde Mountain on the side refused without any hesitation.

"Brother Mu De, I know you have a kind heart, but it's not that I won't give you a chance..."

While Tude was speaking, he controlled the Five Emperors Mountain formation and completely sealed Chen Lingming off. Chen Lingming could no longer hear what was said afterwards. It was as if he had entered a colorful prison with no up, down, left, right or any other direction.

Chen Lingming knew that this was the Five-Colored Light Prison of the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, which was specifically used to punish disciples who made mistakes.

In this cage filled with only colors, many disciples of Yiyuan Dao Palace will eventually go crazy.

Chen Lingming began to waver.

Was his choice really wrong?
Chen Lingming thought of Xiao Yuli. After returning to the East, he went to Dongli and met her once.

The two people who met again after a long separation had nothing to say to each other.

After all, when they were in the Five Emperors Mountain, they both practiced on their own and rarely communicated with each other.

But there was one thing Xiao Yuli said that left a deep impression on Chen Lingming.

"If we had grown up in the Five Elements Sect, we would not be inferior to Ye Qing from the Nine Heavens Demon Sect."

Xiao Yuli and Chen Lingming, as the saints of the Yiyuan Taoist Palace, had no shortage of resources such as spirit stones and elixirs. Even when they were practicing the Five Elements Qi, they were given initiations by the elders of the sect.

However, the two of them relied entirely on their own understanding to practice the Yiyuan Taoist Scriptures, Hunyuan Zhenqi and so on.

Just for this reason, they took a lot of detours and wasted a lot of time.

Both Chen Lingming and Xiao Yuli had stayed in Eastern Wilderness for a period of time, and had even personally come into contact with Chen Mobai.

You can tell a person’s character from what he does.

The rapid development of Donghuang in the past hundred years has amazed Chen Lingming, who has lived in seclusion in Beiyuan City for a long time. The source of all this is Chen Mobai.

Chen Lingming has collected all the biographies about Chen Mobai on the market, and from his various behaviors he can see that this is a "sage" who is very different from Donghuang.

He possesses incredible noble character, fearless courage to overcome all difficulties, and a firm belief that remains unchanged for hundreds of years.

Under his guidance and example, Donghuang, a remote frontier area of ​​Dongzhou, has been transformed into the paradise and pure land on earth it is today.

It is for this reason that Chen Lingming is more willing to believe Chen Mobai rather than Tude and others.

But at this time, Chen Lingming was also worried that he might have seen it wrong.

What if he was really sacrificed in exchange for the complete inheritance of Yiyuan Taoist Palace?
When Chen Lingming's thoughts began to become confused, the people sent by Yiyuan Taoist Palace had already arrived at Jiutian Immortal City.

Elder Lianshui was not willing to meet Chen Mobai. As soon as he revealed his aura outside the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, Su Ziluo sensed it and flew out, looking at him with burning eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Su, this is the letter that several mountain masters asked me to give to Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect."

While Lianshui was talking, he handed the item to Su Ziluo. After the latter took it, he scanned it with Hunyuan Zhenqi. Then, he seemed to think of something, his pupils tightened, and he asked, "Where is Chen Lingming? What did you do with him?"

"He has gone up to the Five Emperors Mountain and will not come down again in the short term. However, if he does not get in the way, it may be easier to negotiate what Master Chen wants."

Elder Lianshui spoke with a hint of meaning. As soon as he said this, Su Ziluo knew that Chen Lingming was probably in danger.

"You are very brave. You dare to leave Yiyuan Xiancheng to see me."

Su Ziluo's eyes flashed with five colors. The Hunyuan Qi was a nemesis for these Yuanying elders of the Yiyuan Dao Palace. If Tude had not refined the Hunyuan Dao Fruit and controlled the Five Emperors Mountain Formation, Chen Lingming would not have been completely powerless to fight back.

"This time, I came here with a cooperative attitude. I hope that Fellow Daoist Su will not delay the important matter of Master Chen of the Five Elements Sect because of your behavior."

Elder Lianshui, however, was not afraid at all. As a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, he had been under the shadow of Hunyuan Qi for many years and had actually already mastered some methods beyond the Five Elements.

If Su Ziluo, who is now a Dharmakaya and Nascent Soul, were to take action, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"I hope Chen Lingming is still alive, otherwise, you won't be able to withstand his wrath."

Su Ziluo just said this one sentence.

"Hey, I still say that, let's wait until he dares to come to Yiyuan Xiancheng."

Elder Lianshui sneered, then turned into a streak of water light and disappeared on the spot.

After Su Ziluo talked to Yue Zutao, they did not waste time in Jiutian Immortal City. They immediately returned to Donghuang through the large teleportation array and personally handed the letter to Chen Mobai.

Beiyuan mountain top.

Chen Mobai finished reading the contents of the letter in his hand, then put it on the tea table without any change in his expression.

"The Lord of Tude Mountain wants to invite me to talk in person. He said that he is willing to pass on all the inheritance of Yiyuan Dao Palace to Wuxing Sect, but in exchange, Chen Lingming must be handed over to them..."

After Chen Mobai finished explaining the general content, Su Ziluo nodded as expected.

"It's their method, but it's not a loss for you, Daozi. With the inheritance of the First Yuan Patriarch, with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to become a god or even ascend to heaven in the future."

After Su Ziluo finished speaking, she secretly looked at the handsome young man who was sitting in front of her drinking tea.

She wanted to know Chen Mobai's choice.

Although rationally speaking, it is very cost-effective to exchange Chen Lingming for all the inheritance of Yiyuan Zhenjun, the ascended monk.

But deep down she hoped that Chen Mobai would not be so cold-blooded.

After all, she is following him now.

If Chen Mobai can sacrifice Chen Lingming today, he might also be able to sacrifice her in the future.

"That's not enough."

After Chen Mobai said this, Su Ziluo felt very complicated. Then she asked, "Is there anything else you want? I'll pass it on for you."

"I want everything in Yiyuan Dao Palace! Chen Lingming, I want him alive too!"

Chen Mobai said this in a calm tone, and Su Ziluo suddenly felt an indescribable surprise in her heart.

"Yes, Daozi!"

……

Five Emperors Mountain.

After listening to Elder Lianshui’s report, the four mountain masters’ faces turned pale.

"You ungrateful person, do you really think our Yiyuan Dao Palace is a soft persimmon?"

Lord Jin Deshan spoke first and looked coldly towards the back mountain where Chen Lingming was imprisoned. He planned to send Chen Lingming's head back to humiliate the Five Elements Sect.

"Forget it. Negotiations are something that will definitely fail the first time. Just try a few more times."

But at this time, Lord Tudeshan shook his head to stop him.

The difference in strength between the Yiyuan Taoist Palace and the Five Elements Sect is not that big.

If Chen Lingming were really killed in this way, a civil war within the Yiyuan Taoist sect would be inevitable.

Even if their Five Emperors Mountain can rely on the great formation to remain safe and sound, if the branch sects of the Eastern Wilderness come to attack, the face of the holy land will definitely be lost.

Tudeshan tried his best to avoid this happening.

"Let Lianshui go to Jiutian Immortal City again. The natal flying sword of the head of Jiutian Demon-Slaying Sect, Ni Yuanzhong, was originally made with the help of the Great Elder Wuming. Let him come forward to mediate. At least it will allow me to have a personal talk with the head of the sect, Chen."

Lord Tude's words made Lord Jinde look dissatisfied, but the other two lords did not say anything, and he would not continue to object.

With a cold snort, Lord Jin Deshan left the hall first.

"Junior Brother Jin De's murderous intent seems to be a bit too much."

Seeing him leave, Lord Shuideshan suddenly spoke something.

"Let him be. Have you informed those two Taoist brothers?"

The Lord of Tude Mountain shook his head and asked Shuide about another matter.

"They have all been notified, and they are all willing to help Brother."

"very good!"

After listening to this, Tude smiled and became more confident about this negotiation.

Speaking of which, it was those two who took the initiative to contact Wudishan.

Otherwise, Tude really wouldn't know that the Five Elements Sect actually had a grudge against them.

Jin De stopped at a lake somewhere in Wudi Mountain. After a while, the surface of the lake began to ripple and a vague figure emerged on the water.

"Tu De is timid and cowardly, and he only wants to negotiate with the Five Elements Sect. He is not someone who can accomplish great things."

Jin De spoke with a cold face, and the blurry figure in the water nodded after listening.

"I understand, but I think it would be better for you to facilitate this meeting between the two parties."

"Oh, why?" Jin De looked puzzled.

"Tu De will never give up the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit, and Chen Guixian is only pursuing the transformation of spirit. Therefore, the negotiation between the two sides is doomed to fail. In the end, it will definitely be determined by strength. Although Tu De has refined the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit, it is not orthodox after all. Even if he can kill Chen Guixian, he will definitely suffer a great loss of vitality. At that time, you can take action and become the next custodian of the Hun Yuan Dao Fruit. Of course, before that, Chen Lingming, the Taoist, cannot stay in Wudi Mountain."

After the blurry figure in the water finished speaking, Jin De's eyes lit up.

"When Tude and Chen Guixian are both defeated, I will kill Chen Lingming."

"No, you can give him to me. I want to taste Yiyuan Daozi again." The blurred figure said in a sinister tone.

"Wait for my news."

As Master Jin Deshan spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the originally rippling water surface suddenly returned to calm.

……

Donghuang.

When Chen Mobai saw Yuan Zhen in front of him, he couldn't help but look confused.

"The headmaster owed a favor to the One Yuan Dao Palace. Although I am a saint, I still have to obey his orders. I can only make this one trip."

Yuan Zhen said helplessly that after Yuan Qingque ascended, Ni Yuanzhong became the person with the highest status and the strongest cultivation in the Jiutian Dangmo Sect. Even she was helpless in the face of the sect leader's orders.

Ye Qing also went into seclusion not long ago, intending to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the last twenty years before the land reclamation.

"Forget it. I just want to resolve this matter quickly, so I'll meet with the Lord of Tude Mountain."

The Jiutian Dangmo Sect helped the Wuxing Sect a lot, and Chen Mobai didn't want to make things difficult for Yuan Zhen, so he simply agreed.

"The location is set in Jiutian Immortal City. I will arrange it!"

When Yuan Zhen heard Chen Mobai nod, she breathed a sigh of relief and then began to talk about the following events.

"Let me know once the time is set and I'll be there right away."

Chen Mobai personally sent Yuan Zhen away, and then informed Zhou Shengqing about the matter.

After all, if he wants to go to the East, he will be needed to come here and take charge for a while.

……

Nine Heavens Fairy City.

When Chen Mobai stepped out of the teleportation array, Yuan Zhen and Su Ziluo were already waiting for him.

"The negotiations will be arranged for tomorrow, and my sect leader will also be here then."

Yuan Zhen spoke and Chen Mobai nodded.

There was still one day left, so Chen Mobai went to the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce to have a look.

the next day.

Chen Mobai arrived at the meeting place, Jiutian Tower.

"Master Chen, I have long heard of your great name."

When Ni Yuanzhong of the Jiu Tian Dang Mo Sect saw him come in, he stood up and came to greet him personally. Chen Mobai also politely returned the greeting.

"The Lord of Tude Mountain has also arrived..."

At this time, Ni Yuanzhong looked outside the door, pointed at Chen Mobai and said.

Chen Mobai turned around and saw that in addition to Tude, there were actually two other Nascent Soul cultivators.

One of them wore a crown of feathers and was tall and thin with sunken eye sockets.

The other one was a short and fat monk wearing a red Taoist robe, with a ruddy complexion and a round figure.

"Hey, why are you two here with Lord Tudeshan?"

Ni Yuanzhong obviously knew the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, and his tone was even very polite when he spoke to them.

"Let me introduce you. This is the Great Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Mu Youyi. The other one is the Great Elder of the Fire Cloud Palace, Hong Yun."

After listening to Ni Yuanzhong's introduction, Chen Mobai couldn't help but frown.

Beast Taming Sect, Fire Cloud Palace.

It seems like they all have a grudge against the Five Elements Sect.

Are these two guys coming here to support Tude?
However, even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Perfect stage, he can now fight one against three and kill them calmly.

"Master Tude, are you planning to bring these two fellow Taoists with you to negotiate with me?"

Chen Mobai spoke with a half-smile, as if mocking the other party for not having the courage to attend the meeting alone.

"No, no, I just haven't been out for a while, so I took this opportunity to catch up with these two Taoist friends I haven't seen for a long time. They heard that I was going to meet you, the young hero, Master Chen, today, and they were all very curious and wanted to come and meet you."

While speaking, Lord Tudeshan was observing Chen Mobai's expression.

But what disappointed him was that even if the three of them, cultivators who had reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage, came together, they still could not shake the man in front of him.

【He must be pretending to be calm.】

Tude thought secretly in his heart.
