Recalling all the things he had gone through, Seaway Monarch replied with murderous intent, “Yeah, he’s the one—Shade Demon Zhu Wushou.”
Zenith Venerable pondered for a mont and slowly said, “My enemy is not Shade Demon Zhu Wushou, but if our Master is willing to help you get rid of him, then he may also be able to help kill my enemy. I will forever give my loyalty to him if he can help.”
“Who exactly is your enemy, though?” Seaway Monarch asked curiously.
“Icesnow Supre, Han Tiannan.” Zenith Venerable gritted his teeth.
“Well, we have too many enemies. It’d be great if our Master can really help get our revenge.” Seaway Monarch forced a smile. “But I do think the Great Tang Empire would be developing into a terrifying existence in the future given its current state. Leaving all else aside, just those children who started cultivation from their early, tender age alone are simply killing machines in the making. With such an iron-fist training regi, they will likely beco fearso killers in the future.”
Zenith Venerable nodded. “I’ve been to countless Immortal Domains and seen countless Immortal armies. I even had my own share of training such an army myself. Yet, in terms of military discipline, attitude, and training regi, I’ve never seen one that could rival the Great Tang Empire’s four major legions. But what shocked the most was those 30,000-plus Monster Immortals. From my observation and understanding, these sentient monsters have survived for more than hundreds of thousands of years and are likely even older. Their accumulation and comprehension have reached a terrifying level. I’m sure you have also noticed that several hundreds of Celestial Immortals among those Monster Immortals have broken through to the Golden Immortal Stage recently, right?”
“Yeah, I did notice it, but there’s sothing else you missed here,” Seaway Monarch replied.
“What else have you noticed?” asked Zenith Venerable curiously.
“I accidentally ran into another disciple of our Master—that young man called Chen Zhizhong. He has the Praecantator artifact of ancient tis other than being a Praecantator cultivator himself. Although the clan that possessed this sorcery artifact suffered persecution and was cruelly oppressed and vanished, I’m sure you’re also clear about this clan’s terror, yes?”
Zenith Venerable blurted out in horror, “Then they are...”
Inside the majestic palace.
Apotheosis Bella sat cross-legged on the Nine Dragons Cathedra. Her complexion was pale and her vigor was even weaker, while so bloodstains could also be seen on her chest.
“Apotheosis Immortal...”
After Apotheon Mu ca floating and landed on the floor, he saw Apotheosis Bella’s appearance and looked worried.
Squeezing out a smile, Apotheosis Bella happily nodded and said, “You didn’t let down, Apotheon Mu. Heavenly Mountain is a trap set by the enemy and a chance to get out from that place is dismal. I’m really thankful that you understand the truth that the chance to get revenge is always there as long as we’re still alive.”
Apotheon Mu took the Holy Dragon Fruit from his interspatial ring, wrapped it with his Immortal Force, sent the fruit to Apotheosis Bella, and said respectfully, “Venerable, there have been so circumstances and things changed, so I have yet to rush to save my four martial brothers and sister in Heavenly Mountain. I brought this Holy Dragon Fruit for you, please take your ti to heal yourself after I leave.”
Apotheosis Bella was taken aback and shocked. She held the Holy Dragon Fruit and scrutinized it for a while, then turned to look at Apotheon Mu and muttered, “As one of the main ingredients for concocting the Primordial Chaos Pill, the Holy Dragon Fruit is very scarce and extrely precious. How... did you find this fruit?”
Apotheon Mu faintly smiled in response and said, “That aside, this Junior has an important matter to discuss with you in private, Apotheosis Bella. It’s very important. I hope you can grant my wish.”
Junior?!
Apotheosis Bella was dazed because she realized that it was the first ti Apotheon Mu addressed himself as a junior in front of her. It had been thousands of years and it was the first ti.
What exactly is going on?
This person in front was undoubtedly Apotheon Mu. It was just impossible for him to deceive her eyes with so shape-shifting art or the likes. But why did he act out of his usual mannerism?
She remained reticent for a while and then slowly said, “You guys leave first. You’re not allowed to enter without my summons.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two elderlies, one male and one female, appeared in front of Apotheosis Bella out of nowhere. Wariness and vigilance were evident on their faces, and the old woman said in a deep voice, “Venerable, there’s sothing amiss with Apotheon Mu. He brought 2 Perfected Golden Immortals this ti, and I’ve t one of them, Zenith Venerable, whose strength cannot be underestimated.”
Apotheon Bella shot a deep glance at Apotheon Mu and replied in a deep voice, “You both don’t need to say more. I choose to believe him. After all, he didn’t need to bring the Holy Dragon Fruit if he had the intention to harm . Well, he doesn’t need to pull any tricks either on this matter since it’s hard for to even last for another century.”
“About this...”
The two elderlies exchanged glances before they finally retreated with a wry smile.
Apotheosis Bella shifted to Apotheon Mu and calmly said, “I already ordered them to leave and we’re the only ones left here. I’m all ears!”
Apotheon Mu looked around first and contemplated for a mont. Then, he spoke, “Senior Venerable, what I’d like to discuss with you is very important. Not just for , but also for you. That’s why there must be no one else here, else after all the things we’re about to speak here were to be known by others, no matter how much you trust them, it will only be harmful to them.”
Apotheosis Bella’s complexion slightly changed, but she still replied serenely, “Just say it! I guarantee that we’re the only ones left in this place.”
Apotheon Mu paced a few steps forward and sent a voice transmission, “Senior Venerable, my Master asked to send his regards to you on his behalf.”
“What did you say?”
Apotheosis Bella abruptly lunged forward and appeared in front of Apotheon Mu in an instant. Her trembling hands instantly grabbed Apotheon Mu’s front robe and she shouted sharply, “I forbid you to spit out any bullshit about him or anything else related to this matter! Explain! You owe an explanation!”
Apotheon Mu smiled in response and said, “Venerable, my Master is not dead. He’s back.”
“He didn’t die? He has co back?!”
The short sentence was as though exploding thunderclaps in Apotheosis Bella’s heart, shocking her to the core for so ti. It took her a while to recover from the shock as tears appeared in her eyes. She asked with extrely fluctuating emotions, “Where’s he now? Tell quickly!”
Her voice turned very sharp when she was finally able to speak.
“Haih, please don’t get too worked up and excited. Your injury is very serious, Venerable.” Apotheon Mu forced a smile and said, “Master is in my place in the Misty Spring Ocean. He can’t co here or even see you due to so particular circumstances.”
Apotheosis Bella snapped. “Why? Why can’t he see now? Tell what bullshit circumstances he’s in! I’ve sacrificed and risked my life countless tis for him. Even countless relatives and friends of mine have died in battle. What are those particular circumstances that he doesn’t want to co to see ?”
“Venerable, Master didn’t die due to his failure in crossing his tribulation but was ambushed by others and died. Fortunately, a wisp of his soul traversed through space and entered a lower plane world and was barely able to survive. Master has been cultivating from the scratch again and his cultivation is at least comparable to Celestial Immortals. But his enemies in the Immortal World, just those Supres alone, are no less than five. Do you think he can easily reveal his identity? Do you think he can co here so easily without courting the storm to co?”
Apotheosis Bella’s pupils shrunk and she staggeringly paced five steps backward before she was able to barely stabilize her footing. Her shocked expression began to recede from her face and she growled with intense killing intent in her voice. “Are Great Emperor Danqing and Zither Demon Jiuyao among those Supres?”
Apotheon Mu nodded and said, “The two of them are archenemies. You may have no idea that after I left your Immortal Lyceum last ti, I ran into Zither Demon’s dogs and was besieged. If it wasn’t for Master and his people who arrived in ti and killed the enemy’s 6 Perfected Golden Immortals and gravely injured the other two. I’m afraid I’d have already vanished into oblivion by now.”
Finally, Apotheosis Bella understood why Tang Xiu couldn’t co to see her.
He was facing difficulties with so many enemies on all sides.
Two lines of tears flowed down Apotheosis Bella’s face. She cried joyfully for a long ti in front of Apotheon Mu before she finally wiped the tears off her face.
“Apotheon Mu, does he... still dislike and shut out just like before?” Apotheosis Bella looked very afraid and asked carefully.
“No.” Apotheon Mu shook his head. “Master already knows what you’ve done for him and feels guilty toward you. But I can see from his emotions that he seems.... to care about you when I ntioned you to him.”
He cares about ?
Apotheosis Bella’s eyes widened and she quickly savored the aning of the words. A happy and surprised look gradually appeared in her eyes before she looked ecstatic shortly after.
“He now cherishes and cares about ? Did I finally touch his heart?”
Apotheosis Bella’s body slightly shivered and she burst into tears again as she said aloud, “Tell about his thoughts and plans, Apotheon Mu. He has enemies and we’ll kill them all. He has co and there’s nothing in this Immortal World he can’t achieve. I... I trust him. I believe in him.”
“There are four issues he did ntion.” Apotheon Mu smiled.
Apotheosis Bella’s eyes lit up and she imdiately said, “Spit them out. I’m all ears!”
“The first one: the news that he’s still alive can only be known to you alone. You can never tell another soul about this, no matter how close the others are to you,” said Apotheon Mu. “Only both of us know that he’s still alive, even Martial Aunt Star Tears who have been following Master has yet to be told about this.”
“I promise you on this,” Apotheosis Bella said in a deep voice.
“The second one: Master wants you to seize the ti and take the Holy Dragon Fruit to recuperate,” Apotheon Mu smilingly said. “Try to recover back to your pri condition within a few months. In addition, I also brought you so healing elixirs that can speed up your recovery.”
Apotheosis Bella firmly nodded and said, “No problem. After obtaining the Holy Dragon Fruit, I’m sure I can be back to my pri condition in a few months at most.”
“The third one: Master needs Immortal Crystals and Crystal Essences. The more, the better. After getting Immortal Crystals and Crystals, I must go back imdiately and give them to him.”
