The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 962: Chapter 962: The Fall of Wuji Palace (Part 1)

Xuanyin Kingdom, Bingzi Immortal City.

The Teleportation Array within the city emitted a flash of spirit light, and as the brilliance dissipated, over a hundred figures emerged from the platform. Among them were Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong.

”Is this Bingzi City under the jurisdiction of the spiritual land? It’s much quieter compared to Xinmao City!” Fan Rongrong glanced around and mumbled softly.

Her words were overheard by a hunched old man who had teleported from Xinmao City. He chuckled and said to her, ”Young girl, you don’t understand. The comrades from Bingzi City have all rushed to Wuji Palace, hoping to gain some benefits while Lingdi Immortal Master breaks their mountain gate!”

”Everyone who has arrived in the past few days is basically thinking along those lines.”

”The Wuji Palace has a legacy of over three thousand years, influencing several surrounding countries, with countless industries under its name. Just imagine the incredible accumulation of its foundation! For individuals like us, dreaming of feasting on meat is out of the question, but with good luck, even a few scraps would be worth years of hard work!”

”Did you spend so much Dreamland Coin to teleport here, just to watch the excitement?”

Fan Rongrong’s eyes lit up upon hearing the old man’s words, and she began to ponder a plan to make a fortune. After a brief thought, she grinned and said, ”Senior, are you a Spirit Sea Realm expert? My father lives in Seventy-six District and is named Fan Gang. Do you know him?”

”Fan Gang... never heard of him! But the old man does have a confidante who lives in Seventy-six District.” The hunched old man’s face revealed a hint of youthful sweetness and embarrassment when mentioning his confidante.

Fan Rongrong knew the person mentioned by the hunched old man, and immediately started to chat with him.

In just a few words, she managed to make the old man joyful and radiant, and he agreed to give them a ride in his escaping light when going to Wuji Palace!

”Hold tight, kids. There’s a long distance to the Wuji Palace mountain gate, at least two days and one night. If you fall off midway and get hurt, the old man takes no responsibility.”

The hunched old man summoned a tortoise-shell-shaped magic artifact, which transformed into the size of a door in mid-air. After Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong leapt onto the shell and sat down, he channeled mana to activate the magic artifact, carrying the three of them as a light rainbow toward Wuji Palace!

The tortoise-shell magic artifact flew in the air for most of the day. The old man’s mana dwindled, prompting him to land on a mountain peak to rest overnight and recover his state.

While eating around the bonfire and chatting idly, the hunched old man once again inquired about the intentions of Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong.

”The Wuji Palace demons killed my master, senior brothers and sisters... more than a hundred members of the entire sect. I can’t personally exact revenge, but I must witness the downfall of Wuji Palace with my own eyes!” Tu Lin bit fiercely into dried rations made from Spirit Valley beast meat, his demeanor akin to swallowing the flesh and blood of his enemies.

Seeing Tu Lin speak openly, Fan Rongrong glared at him, secretly using voice transmission to warn him not to mention Qingfeng Temple and the ”Divine Light Spell”.

”You asked the senior to give us a ride, I thought you trusted him...” Tu Lin hesitated in his voice transmission reply.

”Is that the same thing?” Fan Rongrong was somewhat out of sorts, angrily said, ”You insist on going to Wuji Palace mountain gate, I’m uneasy, that’s why I came with you. If you leisurely make your way to the battlefield, it might take ten days half a month, how can you witness the collapse of the Demonic Sect?”

”Let Senior Yuan bring us along, we can arrive in two days, and it’s safer en route.”

”But we’ve only known him for a short time, and you’re willing to spill your heart out! If he knows you’re carrying a cultivation method coveted even by Wuji Palace, he might really gut you for it!”

Upon learning that ”Lingdi Divine Bridge Immortal Master led a group of Golden Core True Masters to conquer Wuji Palace”, Tu Lin bid farewell to the three members of the Fan family, intending to witness the downfall of the Demonic Sect in Xuanyin Kingdom personally.

Fan Rongrong was uneasy and thus came along, even borrowing a large sum of Dreamland Coin from her parents to pay for the teleportation from Xinmao City directly to Bingzi City, otherwise, with their cultivation realm, it might take two or three months to fly to Xuanyin Kingdom.

However, upon arriving in Bingzi City, still a long way from the mountain gate of Wuji Palace, Fan Rongrong had no choice but to come up with this strategy, getting close to the hunched old man to beg him for a ride.

The hunched old man is also a cultivator from Xinmao City under the jurisdiction of the spiritual land, seemingly more trustworthy than others and not appearing to be a malicious villain, but money can tempt people. The ”Divine Light Spell” coveted by Wuji Palace is certainly a powerful cultivation method. If the hunched old man knew that Tu Lin was carrying this method, it might lead him to commit harm out of greed!

Tu Lin, having received Fan Rongrong’s transmission, dared not disclose any further information.

Luckily, the hunched old man did not think much about it. Upon hearing Tu Lin’s tragic past, he cursed Wuji Palace vehemently and comforted Tu Lin before starting to meditate to restore his mana.

Without further words for the night, the next day, as dawn broke, the three resumed their journey, reaching just outside Wuji Palace’s mountain gate by nightfall.

”Wow, it’s really lively here!”

The hunched old man set down Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong, put away the tortoise-shell magic artifact, and took out several battered array flags to set up a small Breath Concealing Array, concealing their figures and aura.

One can’t blame him for being so cautious, as within a thousand li radius, shadows flit about, various auras, whether righteous or evil, powerful or weak, bright or dark, all lurking around the perimeter, ready to strike. Since the news of the spiritual land’s campaign against Wuji Palace spread, countless carrion vultures have been drawn, all wishing to feast on the downfall of this massive entity!

Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong peered through the Formation toward Wuji Palace’s mountain gate.

A vast array covering an area of hundreds of li, faintly flickering with rune blood light, bathed the skies and earth in a reddish glow; around the four corners of the array, floated dozens of bright spots of varying colors, magic treasures, talismans, magic, formations, and other spirit lights like fireflies, continuously attacking the array!

Even though Tu Lin and the others were far away, they could still sense the intense spiritual energy fluctuations, hearing the thunderous rumbling as if it were distant thunder.

”Senior Yuan, are those light spots all Golden Core True Masters? So many powerful figures have attacked for several days and still haven’t breached the Mountain Protection Array of Wuji Palace?” Fan Rongrong pointed to the sky, seeking an explanation from the meditating hunched old man.

The hunched old man didn’t open his eyes, leisurely replied, ”To destroy Wuji Palace’s Mountain Protection Array, how could it be so easy? Since the sect’s founding, it has experienced ups and downs several times, yet the mountain gate remains standing, the legacy unbroken. Apart from its deep foundation, this Mountain Protection Array also deserves much credit!”

”The actual mountain gate of Wuji Palace is not on the surface but in the earth’s depths thousands of zhang below. After three thousand years of operation, they’ve long linked the Spirit Veins and Earth Meridians together, forming an unparalleled array.”

”The array you’re seeing is but the tip of the iceberg!”
