The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 820: Chapter 820: The Whole Story and the Longevity Demon Lord

Six thousand five hundred years ago, when the Immortal Mansion appeared, Fulong Immortal Master, Immortal Master Cizi, a cultivator with the surname Li, and three other Formless Realm Immortal Masters obtained clues from an immortal scroll and entered this place to seek treasure.

Besides the unfortunate Fulong Immortal Master who fell into the bitter sea, the other four Formless Realm experts, including Immortal Master Cizi, successfully reached the core deep inside. They climbed the withered towering giant trees and entered the Moon Palace!

Not long after, the cultivator with the surname Li died under the prohibitions of the Celestial Palace;

The remaining two also turned into longevity flesh and were refined by the Longevity Demon Lord into high-class Longevity Pills.

Only Immortal Master Cizi was valued by the Longevity Demon Lord, not only spared his life but also continued to consume Longevity Pills to live until now, outliving his eight thousand years lifespan by more than two thousand five hundred years!

However, to prevent information from leaking, the Longevity Demon Lord strictly controls such Formless Realm experts, employing various means to block communication with the Outer Realm. Thus, when the Silver-haired Child awakened to his past wisdom and recited his true name and title, Immortal Master Cizi felt nothing and could not respond.

Considering the Silver-haired Child as an old friend, Immortal Master Cizi revealed a lot of key information to everyone!

Although he spoke very briefly, with this clear reference, many of Shen Mo’s doubts and confusions gained reasonable explanations...

The immortal scroll must have been a clue deliberately released by the Longevity Demon Lord.

And the ”senior” who left the soul mark was likely a cultivator who had consumed a Longevity Pill and whose life and death depended on the whim of the Longevity Demon Lord. By carefully crafting lies, they successfully lured Five Formless Realm experts, including Fulong Immortal Master and Immortal Master Cizi, to take the risk, and the effect continues to this day, enticing Shen Mo and his party to venture inside!

Given this.

It’s no wonder that in every palace, Longevity Pills marked as Elixirs of Longevity are almost everywhere, so more people would consume them.

It’s no wonder that the corpses and relics of those who fell in the Celestial Palace are absent, all taken by the Longevity Demon Lord and his subordinates.

It’s no wonder that when the prohibitions were breached and Immortal Treasures were exposed to everyone, so many unexpected changes occurred, and the Celestial Palace’s grand formation blocked everyone’s paths... It was clear that the Longevity Demon Lord wanted to refine Longevity Pills from more powerful creatures, but worried that their overall strength would exceed his control, so he let everyone fight each other first. Once they were sufficiently weakened, he would reveal his true intentions!

And the indigenous demons residing on the floating land, though having ample opportunities over thousands of years to enter the Moon Palace at close range, acted as if they were avoiding the Celestial Palace and Immortal Treasures, with no native demons attempting to climb the towering giant trees to enter the Celestial Palace.

While the Longevity Demon Lord looks down on them, he would never let indigenous demons learn the inside story. Anyone who sets foot on Bright Moon will be struck down ruthlessly, their souls scattering.

The indigenous demons may not know the truth, but they do know that every person who entered the Celestial Palace never returned. Over time, they’ve come to understand that the Bright Moon overhead is an absolute Forbidden Area!

”Since Immortal Master Cizi hasn’t fallen, then the Storage Bracelet of fellow Fulong, the Five Dragon Divine Chariot, and the relics of the other three seniors were likely taken by him,” Shen Mo speculated to himself, activating [Method Eye Candle Wisp], examining Immortal Master Cizi in front of him.

However, these magic treasures and spiritual items may have been stored in a Universe Bag or other storage spaces, as Shen Mo found no trace of them.

Just then, there was a great commotion from afar!

The ghost-faced great demon of Formless Realm power had already used magic to intercept the bronze halberd. Just as it was preparing to forcibly receive it, a terrifying aura surged from one of the palaces.

Subsequently, all cultivators, demons, and myriad powerful tribes inside the Celestial Palace saw a mass of flesh radiating immortal light appear out of thin air before the ghost-faced great demon.

This mass of flesh resembled Longevity Flesh, almost like it was cast from the same mold!

But unlike Longevity Flesh, which was just seemingly living dead meat, this mass of flesh was a powerful extraordinary creature with extremely intimidating soul fluctuations, possessing astonishing mana, and faint immortal dao aura permeating and agitating, clearly nearing the True Immortal Realm.

In the next instant, the mass of flesh in the immortal light twisted and transformed into an extraordinarily ordinary young cultivator, who casually waved his hand, dispersing the boundless demonic shadows unleashed by the ghost-faced great demon.

”This halberd is my magic treasure, you cannot take it.”

This young cultivator, or rather the mass of flesh radiating immortal light, was none other than the Longevity Demon Lord who had lurked behind the scenes, causing the deaths of countless powerful beings!

He smiled slightly, formed a seal with his hand, and the bronze halberd intercepted by the ghost-faced great demon suddenly erupted in blinding spirit light, turned around, and slashed towards the ghost-faced great demon.

Seeing this, the ghost-faced great demon’s expression changed drastically, quickly summoning magic shadows, and offering up defensive magic treasures to lay down dense barriers before it!

”Rip!”

A sound like paper being torn by a sharp blade rang out as the demonic shadows, magic defenses, and the body of the ghost-faced great demon were all split into two halves.

However, this monstrosity born from the union of powerful beings of the Thousand-eyed clan and other demons had considerable power and was not yet dead. From the separated body, hideous ghostly faces emerged with scarlet tongues interlocking and entangling, forcibly reassembling the body together.

Alas, the bronze halberd was clearly an Immortal-level magic artifact, its divine power unfathomable. Though the wound it inflicted contained no foreign energies, it seemed like an unalterable law that resisted any attempts by the ghost-faced great demon to heal it!

Having witnessed the Longevity Demon Lord’s might and the sharpness of the bronze halberd, the ghost-faced great demon dared not harbor covetous thoughts anymore, immediately conjuring thousands of demonic shadows, wrapping its two severed halves, and fled from the scene.

The Longevity Demon Lord was about to wield the halberd for another slash when formidable magic treasures and savage immortal spells came whistling in, engulfing his figure.

It turned out that the other Formless Realm (Class VI) experts inside the Celestial Palace, noticing the unfavorable situation, secretly joined forces.

However, with just a few swings of the halberd, the Longevity Demon Lord shattered all the magic treasures and immortal spells aimed at him. As the light dimmed, he remained unscathed.

Meanwhile, his subordinates, including powerful Formless Realm beings like Immortal Master Cizi, began attacking those who had previously taken action, preventing them from continuing to cooperate against the Longevity Demon Lord!

”Ha!”

The Longevity Demon Lord chuckled softly, put away the bronze halberd, summoned a dark cloud transforming it into a throne, and watched with keen interest the bloody skirmish unfolding in the Celestial Palace.

With Shen Mo’s group, Immortal Master Cizi felt the intangible pressure from the Longevity Demon Lord, stopped reminiscing with the Silver-haired Child, and spoke directly: ”Fulong was an old friend of mine, and Hao Xiu is my direct descendant. I will speak well for you in front of the Demon Lord so that you won’t be turned into Longevity Flesh.”

”However, Fulong and you juniors must first consume a Longevity Pill. Afterward, you can remain in the Celestial Palace to enjoy longevity!”
