The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 927: Chapter 927: Invitation from Luofu Mountain

The first time the Longevity Demon Lord appeared in the Outer Realm was in Dongjie Continent.

This continent is the farthest from Phoenix Continent. Back then, Shen Mo had not achieved Formless yet; he relied on skills such as Sword Escape and Cloud Thunder Wing, stopping and starting again, and it took him three years to travel from Phoenix Continent to Dayu Mountain in Dongjie Continent!

Of course, with his current Realm and the power of his skills, he could reach Dongjie Continent in approximately three months with full effort.

The second appearance was in Zhuji Continent, which is closer to Phoenix Continent, and now Shen Mo only needs a month to reach this place.

The third time, he directly appeared at Hidden Dragon River in Phoenix Continent, tens of millions of miles from Jade Spring Mountain, equivalent to the distance between Jade Spring Mountain and Five Dragon Mountain, which is hardly distant for the Formless Realm.

After snatching the Thunder Dragon Pearl, the Longevity Demon Lord and the Moon Palace have not appeared again...

It’s very likely that he hasn’t left Phoenix Continent, but is lurking somewhere recovering his vitality and healing his injuries!

As for other information, Shen Mo needs to further verify.

...

Shen Mo bid farewell to an information broker, with sparks constantly splashing from his ”Consciousness” body, pondering while flying to the next trading point.

Just then, a familiar figure descended from the sky, slowly landing behind him.

”Shen Qingyun!”

When cultivators use sensing methods to enter the Dreamland, only part of their consciousness enters, so no matter how high their cultivation level, they cannot use mana sense and can only act with their thoughts.

As Shen Mo was deep in thought, he did not notice someone approaching. He turned around upon hearing his name called and noticed the one calling him was his Dreamland friend Wang San, revealing a look of surprise on his face!

In Dreamland, to avoid exposing true origins and being calculated against, people often use pseudonyms when interacting.

However, after prolonged interactions, some clues inevitably leak out, allowing familiar individuals to guess each other’s real identity in reality;

Shen Mo has known Wang San for decades, and both have long suspected each other’s real identity, but they have always kept it to themselves, neither exposing nor revealing each other’s details to others!

But today, Wang San directly called his dao name, broke the veil of secrecy, leaving Shen Mo somewhat puzzled.

Seeing Shen Mo’s slightly dazed expression, Wang San displayed a mischievous smile and continued, ”Yuquan Immortal Mountain’s Red Flame Sect Law Master, Qingyun Immortal Master Shen Mo, long time no see...”

Shen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly, finding himself in a somewhat amusing predicament.

”Tang Chan, long time no see, fellow daoist!”

Years ago, Shen Mo had already guessed Wang San’s true identity.

As she said, she is indeed of royal descent in a secular small country within the Luofu Mountain Range, ranked third in her family.

Moreover, she holds another key identity as the direct disciple of the Luofu Mountain Master... Wang San’s real name is Tang Chan, none other than the Luofu Mountain’s Young Master Shen Mo encountered while climbing the immortal tree back then!

When Tang Chan was born, a mysterious phenomenon shook the Luofu Mountain Master, who personally revealed her real body to take the infant Tang Chan.

As she grew older, continuously revealing terrifying cultivation talent, the Luofu Mountain Master accepted her as a direct disciple and groomed her as the next generation Mountain Master. She currently stands as a prominent figure in Luofu Mountain, with a status vastly superior to an ordinary Divine Bridge Realm!

Having her real name exposed, Tang Chan did not appear surprised, giving Shen Mo a charming smile, as her consciousness body flickered with sparks and soon transformed into the image of a round-faced girl in a pink dress.

”We had dealings in the Immortal Mansion Dungeon, then interacted in Dreamland for decades, constantly addressing each other as ’fellow daoist’ doesn’t seem too intimate, does it?”

”You walked into Formless before me; as they say, one’s attained path makes them the master. Alas, I already have a Master, so I can only call you Senior Brother. If Senior Brother Shen does not mind, you may call me Junior Sister Chan... even the old fellows in the mountain who have cultivated for two to three millennia without achieving Formless call me this.”

Shen Mo’s expression grew more odd, understanding Tang Chan’s meaning, yet finding the statement awkward, as it implied he had also become one of those old fellows.

However, he did not dwell on the title too much. It is common among cultivators to mutually address each other as ”Senior Brother” or ”fellow daoist.” Subsequently, he cupped his hands to Tang Chan and asked, ”Junior Sister Chan suddenly reveals my true identity today. What is the reason? Could it be you’re planning to visit our Red Flame Sect?”

”If time permits, I would indeed like to tour Jade Spring Mountain, but today’s matter is not about that. My Master Lingxiao Zi wishes to see you.”

Tang Chan’s Master, the Luofu Mountain Master, bears the dao name Lingxiao Zi, and is also known as Lingxiao Immortal Master.

”Senior Lingxiao wants to see me?”

”Yes!”

Tang Chan restrained her playful demeanor, turning serious: ”It’s about the Longevity Demon Lord. Aren’t you also searching for his whereabouts? You’ll find out when you come. After leaving the Dreamland, I will chant your true name and dao name, remember to transform and come over.”

With that, her consciousness body began to fade until disappearing.

Shen Mo looked completely confused, yet he has known Tang Chan for years and understands that although she is domineering and arrogant in her conduct, she’s not maliciously deceitful, and is trustworthy!

She mentioned it’s about the Longevity Demon Lord, which likely means she’s gathered relevant clues...

After all, back then in the Moon Palace, the Longevity Demon Lord killed three Divine Bridge Realm Great Cultivators from Luofu Mountain and nearly turned Tang Chan into longevity flesh for alchemy;

Such a deep-seated hatred, she would want to have the Longevity Demon Lord cut into a thousand pieces, certainly not missing this chance to beat a dog that’s down!

Immediately, Shen Mo’s consciousness also exited the Dreamland, silently sensing with the unique form of the Formless Realm.

He attained enlightenment recently; his true name circulated widely during his lesser-known times and many people still alive today know this name.

Moreover, Shen Mo’s dao name is Qingyun, so the number of people aware of his dao name is even greater!

Thus, after achieving Formless, in the Green Cloud Cave almost every day, tens of thousands of ordinary people, Chi Yan Cultivators, whether intentionally or unintentionally, recite his name, causing him to feel its power.

Normally, Shen Mo would purposely divert a trace of his consciousness to handle these ”noises,” which is also part of the red dust refining one’s heart, allowing him to still grasp worldly miseries while achieving higher cultivation levels and retain ’humanity’!

But he would not respond to common prayers for ordinary matters;

Otherwise, dealing with these ”requests” would waste a significant amount of time and energy, making cultivation impossible!

In just a brief thought, Shen Mo sensed Tang Chan’s location, then slightly moved his thoughts, utilizing the Formless Realm cultivator’s ”clairvoyant consciousness, undefined form, transforming according to opportunity, manifesting entity phantom” miraculous method.

As Tang Chan continuously chanted ”Qingyun Immortal Master,” strands of nature’s spiritual energy began to gather and shape before her, gradually forming a humanoid figure. Although not as vivid as a True Master, the features and attire were lifelike, and one glance could tell it was Shen Mo!

This is merely an entity phantom, with nature’s spiritual energy as its vessel, carrying a trace of Shen Mo’s consciousness...
