The last mortal immortal

When Lu Li heard the other party talking about the extremely powerful person who left behind the Hundred Rocks Wonderland, he immediately became interested and asked, "I wonder what exactly this Nine Spirits Disaster Area is?"

"Actually, I don't know a lot. According to legend, after the six powerful beings brought the Qingxuan Realm here, in order to ensure that the Qingxuan Fairyland could remain stable for thousands of years, they deliberately left treasures in nine different places to guard the stability of the world. If these treasures were destroyed, this world might collapse and dissipate." Wu Ze said.

These words made Lu Li sound even more confused. If the information Wu Ze knew was correct, the nine places were the key to stabilizing this world. Once the Qingxuan Fairyland was lost, the world would be in danger. As the lord of the holy land and the master of the Qingxuan Fairyland, even if he wanted to find the Nine Spirits Disaster Area, he should personally send his confidants to do it, or even do it himself. He would never hand it over to outside cultivators.

As an outsider as well, Lu Li understood the intrigues and schemes among cultivators best. At least 80% of the people here would only act for their own interests and would never care whether the indigenous inhabitants of the Qingxuan Immortal Realm were dead or alive. Once there were really treasures in the Jiuling Disaster Area, the cultivator who found them first would definitely try every means to take them away first, and even if they could not take them away, they would squeeze out all the value of the treasure.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The Lord of the Holy Land must have other purposes for making such a decision, at least it cannot be for protecting the Qingxuan Fairyland.

While Lu Li was deep in thought, Wu Ze asked carefully, "Uh, Master Lu, I'm sorry to ask, why are you suddenly interested in this matter? Is it related to the Holy Land?"

At this point, Wu Ze immediately explained: "I saw that Lord Lu was planning to go to the Holy Land to look for other inheritance stone tablets. Now that I see you are returning so soon, I asked this question."

Seeing the other party being so cautious, afraid of angering him, Lu Li, who often survives in the cracks, felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He shook his head and smiled, "Wu clan leader, there is no need to be so nervous. In fact, this is not a secret. I learned about the Nine Spirit Disaster Area from the Holy Land. Not only that, the Holy Land also issued a special mission, requiring us outsiders to find the locations of the nine places. Only those who find the locations are qualified to enter the Holy Land. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Qingxuan Fairyland. Finding such a place is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. That's why I returned to the Baimai Clan to make a long-term plan."

"It is indeed a mission issued by the Holy Land...but why would the Holy Lord make such a decision?" Wu Ze murmured to himself, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Seeing that the other party's doubts did not seem fake and he obviously could not understand the meaning of this task, Lu Li changed the subject and asked from another angle: "I wonder if the Wu clan leader knows what kind of person the current master of the holy land is?"

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you, Lord Lu. I'm ashamed to say that since the Baimai Clan has been in decline for so many years, I have spent most of these years on the run since I took over the affairs of the clan. I have never had the opportunity to go to the holy land to see the face of the Holy Lord, so I heard a lot of scattered news from others..." Wu Ze paused, as if he was lost in memory: "It is said that this Holy Lord is the most outstanding in talent, qualifications, character, and strategy in the past thousand years. It can be said that there has never been such a perfect, powerful, and ambitious Holy Lord in the past thousand years. It is because of his appearance that our Baimai Clan has been able to survive until now."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Oh, in the past Qingxuan Fairyland, any weak tribe would be in danger of genocide at any time. That meant not only seizing the inheritance stele, but also killing all the people to eradicate the roots. This situation lasted for too long, resulting in a smaller and smaller number of native residents in Qingxuan Fairyland. The number of newborns was far less than the number of people who died in the chaos of fighting. Until this Saint Lord appeared, he relied on his own powerful cultivation to comprehend the Mind-Confusing Spell from the inheritance stele, which is the spell you saw us use on the Dangyun tribe before. After using this spell, the memories of these people will be completely wiped out, and we only need to give them some hints to completely become our people!"

Lu Li was most familiar with the way of spiritual consciousness. Naturally, he had heard of this kind of magic that could confuse the mind. However, relatively few people could use this kind of magical power. The main reason was that the cultivation realm required was too high. It could only be possible if the caster's cultivation realm was several levels higher than that of the recipient. It was said that even a cultivator in the God-Separation Stage might not be 100% sure when attacking a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage. This was enough to show how impractical this technique was.

The so-called change is far more difficult to destroy. Many people with high cultivation can take over the body and devour the soul, but it is too difficult to make a person become a puppet who will never betray himself from heart to body. Even if you control others with spiritual consciousness, there is always a possibility that the other party will betray you. Therefore, this method of relying on the stone tablet to control other tribesmen for one's own use, even if the target is just these ordinary people with almost no cultivation, this kind of magical power is quite extraordinary.

At the same time, Wu Ze continued, "Not only that, the Holy Lord personally ordered that all the indigenous people in the Qingxuan Fairyland must not be forcibly exterminated. If you want to expand the population, you can only use the inheritance stone tablet method. In addition, it is said that the Holy Lord is planning something that can benefit all the residents of Qingxuan Fairyland since he has achieved success in cultivation. Once successful, we will have a better living environment. But unfortunately, the information I have obtained is too little, and I don’t know what this so-called big event is for the time being."

"Something big that can change the living environment of all the indigenous people..." Lu Li shook his head helplessly. There were too few clues in this matter, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the Holy Lord wanted to do.

Since there was no accurate information to solve the mystery of the mission for the time being, Lu Li had to temporarily shift his focus to the real purpose of coming to the Baimai Clan this time: "Let's put the holy land mission aside for now. Do you know if there are other ownerless inheritance steles in the Qingxuan Immortal Realm? I heard that over the years, many tribes have declined or even disappeared due to various reasons. Their inheritance steles have not been found, and they may still be left in their original places."

"It is indeed possible. To be honest with you, Lord Lu, I just happen to have some news."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Li was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Where is it?"

"There is a Linghuai Mountain five hundred miles away. It is said that the Sanshan Clan disappeared there. However, I still advise Lord Lu not to go there." Wu Ze said with some concern.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Could it be that there is some powerful monster guarding there?"

"That's not the case!" When Wu Ze mentioned this, he suddenly showed a trace of fear and whispered, "It's haunted there!"
