Chapter 2337: Chapter 2337: Devoted Soul
Zhan Zhong remained silent for a long time.
The day Jing Yan killed Diao Fu with a single move, Zhan Zhong felt Jing Yan might have already stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, but he couldn’t be sure. Jing Yan acted too swiftly, and his power was concealed, making it difficult for Zhan Zhong to confirm that Jing Yan was indeed an Immortal Venerable Realm expert. Of course, if he himself were an Immortal Venerable, he would definitely be able to sense Jing Yan’s realm.
Now, hearing Che Zi confirm that Jing Yan killed Min Lan Immortal Venerable in Huatong City, Zhan Zhong could determine that Jing Yan was indeed an Immortal Venerable Realm expert. To kill Min Lan Immortal Venerable right in front of Xima Immortal Venerable in Huatong City, only an extremely powerful Immortal Venerable could achieve that.
But...
Even if Mr. Jing Yan is an Immortal Venerable expert, once he travels to the Slaughter God Hall, he might never return. The Slaughter God Hall is one of the oldest forces in Faro Heaven, and the sheer defensive power of its Guardian Array is enough to deter anyone. It’s rumored that one formation in the Slaughter God Hall was personally arranged by an Immortal Emperor.
Besides, the Slaughter God Hall possesses a vast number of extremely fierce magic treasures.
Faced with such a colossal entity, if Mr. Jing Yan heads to the Slaughter God Hall, how could he possibly survive?
...
Faro Heaven, Fiery Flame Extreme Territory.
The Fiery Flame Extreme Territory is one of the renowned dangerous places in Faro Heaven. This place is so treacherous that even regular Immortal Venerable experts dare not venture deep into it.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable resides in the depths of the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory.
In fact, the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory is located underground; it is an environment filled with subterranean magma. The magma here is no ordinary magma; it can even directly destroy Immortal Venerable-level magic treasures, charged with terrifying flames law energy.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is most skilled in Fire Attribute Dao Techniques. Long ago, upon discovering the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory, he retreated into seclusion here. Unless there’s something important, he seldom leaves the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory.
He occasionally takes some disciples, but his criteria for accepting disciples are extremely stringent. Once chosen, he bestows special treasures upon them to resist the magma energy of the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory. Over countless years, he has nurtured two cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Realm, one of whom was Min Lan Immortal Venerable, killed by Jing Yan.
As for cultivators of the Immortal Rhythm level, there are even more.
Countless powerful figures seek to win favor with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable not just because he excels at teaching disciples; there’s another reason related to the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory. In this place lies a unique type of energy baryte named Fire Cloud Crystal Stone by Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.
This mineral can enhance an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator’s divine power intensity.
Which Immortal Venerable wouldn’t want such treasures? Throughout the ages, many have tried to seize control of the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory from Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, but to this day, no one has succeeded.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, possessing immense strength yet also great wisdom, knows that hoarding the Fire Cloud Crystal Stone would surely incite public wrath, so he distributes some of it as well. Unintentionally, he has crafted an extensive network of contacts. Today, almost every Immortal Venerable in Faro Heaven has to consider Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s influence.
Wu Guo Heavenly Lord is the best example; even this great Heavenly Lord had to bear the humiliation of being belittled by a single word from Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.
Recently, the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory has been restless.
Because Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s disciple, Min Lan Immortal Venerable, was killed by a cultivator named Jing Yan. Despite his reclusive lifestyle in the Fiery Flame Extreme Territory, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable isn’t out of touch. Shortly after Min Lan’s death, he received the news. When he first heard it, he considered going out to personally kill Jing Yan to avenge his disciple, but ultimately hesitated.
Because Min Lan was killed by Jing Yan in Huatong City. Moreover, Xima Immortal Venerable was present on site.
In the ranks of the many Immortal Venerables, Xima Immortal Venerable is relatively powerful.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable realized that even Xima Immortal Venerable couldn’t prevent Jing Yan from killing Min Lan, and Jing Yan did it effortlessly. This made him ponder on whether Jing Yan’s strength might be formidable.
Soon, he confirmed one thing — Jing Yan had already stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm!
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable wasn’t recently acquainted with Jing Yan; he knew the name early on when Jing Yan killed the Slaughter God Hall’s E Si Saint. A cultivator at the Immortal Rhythm level killing a Slaughter God Hall Saint like E Si — someone of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s stature had to investigate further.
Being so powerful at the Immortal Rhythm level, how strong must he be now, having entered the Immortal Venerable Realm?
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable had no choice but to consider that even if he personally confronted Jing Yan, he might not have absolute confidence in killing him. And if he couldn’t kill him, that would be even more humiliating.
This dilemma made him hesitate, unable to decide whether to immediately go out and kill Jing Yan.
To ignore Jing Yan’s killing of Min Lan would likewise tarnish his reputation.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable prized his reputation highly.
This complexity worsened Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s mood. Knowing Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s recent foul mood, even his disciples dared not meet him.
"Master!" One day, a disciple highly valued by Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable approached the Flame Immortal Venerable.
This was a cultivator at the Immortal Charm Peak Level with a great opportunity to reach the Immortal Venerable Realm — a disciple Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable had been particularly fond of over the past hundreds of millions of years.
"Jing Yan has declared that three hundred years from now, he will destroy the Slaughter God Hall," the disciple said, head lowered.
"Hmm?" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s eyes narrowed, and the surface of his red robe surging with Fire Attribute Dao Techniques began to flow.
"Master, if that Jing Yan truly heads to the Slaughter God Hall, isn’t he walking into death? He is quite strong, and if he were outside, no amount of Immortal Venerables sent by the Slaughter God Hall could handle him. But if he goes to the Slaughter God Hall, those in the hall probably wouldn’t need to exert much effort to suppress and kill him, right? The Slaughter God Hall’s big array and various treasures — there’s no other force in Faro Heaven that could compare." This disciple showed genuine insight.
"Is the news true?" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s eyes narrowed deeply.
"Absolutely true, the news has already spread, and it won’t be long before it’s known throughout Faro Heaven," the disciple nodded.
Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable began to ponder.
If Jing Yan goes to the Slaughter God Hall, he will certainly die, sparing him the personal action.
As for the three hundred years, that’s insignificant. To an Immortal Venerable expert, let alone a Dao Skill Realm youngling, three hundred years is a mere instant.
Three hundred years? No matter if he has three billion years, Jing Yan could never dream of destroying the Slaughter God Hall! To destroy the Slaughter God Hall — unless Jing Yan becomes an Immortal Emperor. Or if Jing Yan could rally half of Faro Heaven’s Immortal Venerables to attack the Slaughter God Hall.
Having this thought, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable snorted scornfully.
"He’s just a romantic fool, going to the Slaughter God Hall to save that Wuxia? Truly foolish!" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable sneered.
Soon after, he extracted a Communication Magical Treasure, and with a Divine Thought, sent a message again to Wu Guo Heavenly Lord.
