Chapter 323: 79: The Final Act of the Heavenly Gate! (10,000-Word Update)_2
Soon after, he discreetly glanced towards the teleportation array beneath the statue.
Ning Daohuan still seemed to be immersed in the pleasure of his confession, his eyes gradually lighting up:
“Regrettably, it’s truly too difficult to achieve Immortal Ascension. One must have the opportunity of enlightenment, and yet these chances are almost always held by the major sects. I had thought that I would only reach the Nascent Soul in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, I discovered Fanming’s primordial spirit teeming with enlightenment in Chen State… With it, I can ascend to Immortal as long as I reach the peak of Nascent Soul and refine it!”
“And before that, I must reach the peak state of the Nascent Soul…”
“The disciple will assist the Sect Hierarch in achieving this undertaking!”
Lu Yuansheng hesitated for a moment, then respectfully pledged.
Upon hearing Lu Yuansheng’s words, Ning Daohuan seemed to finally return to reality.
He looked at Lu Yuansheng, approval once again flashing in his eyes: “Indeed, you’re right. Without you, I may not be able to reach the peak in a short time.”
Before his voice dropped.
A sudden sense of extreme danger surged in Lu Yuansheng’s heart!
Without a second thought, the mana he had been accumulating for a long time burst forth.
Blood Bone Saint Venerable emerged from his skin in an instant, blocking the abruply condensed massive mana hand formed by Ning Daohuan!
Meanwhile, Lu Yuansheng gave up Blood Bone Saint Venerable directly and dropped towards the ground!
Henceforth, he shot towards the teleportation array like a bolt of lightning!
However, just as he was about to land on the teleportation array.
The luminous spots on the array pattern of the teleportation array dimmed instantly.
At the same moment, Ning Daohuan’s voice leisurely raised:
“You really are clever, truly someone I admire.”
Lu Yuansheng’s expression turned decidedly grim.
He abruptly turned around to see that Blood Bone Saint Venerable had fragmented into pieces of blood bone, floating around Ning Daohuan who had descended from above.
It was full of obedience and submission.
Lu Yuansheng, who had always bowed his body, finally stood upright. His usual respectful cover was finally torn off by himself.
At this moment, there was no hint of respect in his expression. He coldly scoffed:
“I knew it… You couldn’t possibly have given Blood Bone Saint Venerable to me completely.”
“Give it to you?”
Ning Daohuan chuckled lightly: “This was refined from the bones of my old master. How could I possibly give it to you?”
“Stop resisting, come, become a part of me and together let’s experience the world of Immortal Ascension. Together, we will make those major forces who look down on me respect and fear me!”
Hearing his words, Lu Yuansheng laughed derisively.
Finally no longer hiding, he waved his sleeve, and a Spirit Chicken that emitted Class III spiritual power waves jumped out.
“Cluck cluck!”
In an instant.
The Class III Spirit Chicken crowed with its head high.
At the same time.
In the far-off location of East Saint.
A purple figure, tightly shackled by numerous iron chains between mountain peaks, seemed to sense something. A trace of pain flashed in its indifferent eyes.
The next second, it immediately shriveled as if drained, the purple figure suddenly wilted a lot.
At the same moment.
In the black Daze.
A rich purple light suddenly emerged from the body of the Class III Spirit Chicken, and then the entire chicken, wings and body, began to grow wildly.
In just a brief moment, before Ning Daohuan could even react, the Class III Spirit Chicken had already transformed into the spitting image of Fanming!
Two vertical eyes had appeared on its two wings!
However, these vertical eyes were tightly closed, not showing any intention to open.
But that was already enough.
The Spirit Chicken’s aura was astonishingly close to the true body of Fanming’s Primordial Spirit!
At this moment, the Spirit Chicken was staring coldly at Ning Daohuan.
Ning Daohuan had no doubts that if he made any moves, he would incite an assault from the chicken like a sudden rainstorm!
“Late-stage Nascent Soul…”
Ning Daohuan’s expression turned incredibly ugly in an instant.
The previous composure and leisurely demeanor was quietly taken over with heaviness.
He had a vague feeling that the situation seemed to be subtly progressing beyond his expectations, vaguely towards the edge of getting out of control!
And then, he seemed to realize something, involuntarily looking at Lu Yuansheng:
“This Class III Spirit Chicken… Was it given to you by Wang Ba?!”
“Hehe, I do have to thank him for this.”
The emergence of the Spirit Chicken that resembled Fanming made Lu Yuansheng much more composed.
Confidence filled his gaze as he looked at Ning Daohuan:
“Ning Daohuan, let’s be frank with each other! Now, with this Class IV upper grade Spirit Chicken here, you can’t handle me and most likely, I can’t handle you either. So why don’t we cease fire?”
Upon hearing Lu Yuansheng’s words, Ning Daohuan, however, asked a question instead of answering:
“When did you realize something was amiss?”
Lu Yuansheng was taken aback, then he laughed softly: “From the first day I became your disciple. You were just too nice to me, so nice that it didn’t seem like you were a head of the Devil Cult…”
“So that’s how it is.”
Ning Daohuan suddenly realized that he had been nurturing Lu Yuansheng in the same style as the previous Sect Hierarch had nurtured him, never thinking that it would make Lu Yuansheng suspicious.
But Lu Yuansheng was impatient and said: “Sect Hierarch Ning, my master, can you please hurry up? If we destroy each other, how will you be able to ascend to Immortal status before Master Tang Shangzhen returns?”
“Moreover, even if I’m gone, there are still more than ten Golden Core elders in the sect. They will be enough for you to progress further.”
