Graceful and majestic,
Indeed, the temperament of this sacred monster commands one’s respect.
If not for its ferocious and terrifying appearance, it could almost be mistaken for a saint descending into the world.
Even the tone of its speech bore no trace of vulgarity, making it difficult to dislike.
But Li Muyang furrowed his brows and snorted coldly, not falling for this act.
“What Ghost Moon Fox? I’ve never heard of it!”
“You have a choice: release Yu Chan now, and I can pretend you never showed up!”
Li Muyang’s gaze was fierce, as Mo Immortal stepped forward coldly, with the Startling Swan Immortal Sword emanating chill intent.
Without further ado, they were ready to fight.
Witnessing this scene, the holy spirit monster sighed.
It shook its head and said, “Ascendant, why must you pressure me so aggressively?”
“Although Ancient Immortal Instruments are strong, several Immortal Artifact Masters who joined hands to stop me also suffered heavy casualties and failed to accomplish their goal.”
“Now, you alone wish to kill me; you’re indeed underestimating me.”
The ancient holy spirit said this as it extended a long, bizarre claw and gently tapped the Reincarnation Record atop its crown.
Suddenly, chilling light burst forth from the Reincarnation Record, and out sprang a ghostly deity with hollow eyes and an expressionless face.
Standing upon two serpents, clad in a blood robe, fresh blood flowed incessantly from the deity, radiating a grim and evil aura.
Seeing the arrival of this deity, the holy spirit monster nodded and said, “I won’t take action myself. I ask a fellow daoist here to block you.”
Li Muyang narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the eerie deity before him.
This deity was clearly a ghostly god from The Peaceful Realms but had perished and become a puppet refined inside the Reincarnation Record.
Yet it seemed different from a mere puppet.
The deity before him had no physical body.
Li Muyang spurred on Mo Immortal’s corpse, with the Startling Swan Immortal Sword slashing out brilliant sword light.
The deity in the blood robe moved woodenly forward, and the serpents at its feet suddenly swelled, transforming into two black rivers that began to furiously dance in the sky.
The pitch-black waters, carrying a bone-chilling, deadly aura, obscured Li Muyang’s vision.
Meanwhile, the voice of the holy spirit monster echoed from beyond the black rivers.
“…Ascendant, oh Ascendant, you have too much to do and too little time.”
“Every increase in your cultivation shortens the lifespan of the Heaven and Earth Seal.”
“Having reached the Purple Mansion Realm, you have triggered the final countdown for the Heaven and Earth Seal’s existence. There’s not much time left for this world, or for you.”
“Don’t delay over trivial matters; I’ll take the Ghost Moon Fox with me, best keep an eye on what’s behind you.”
“Outer Heaven Divine Temple, within Ancient Resentment Well… there are far too many matters you need to attend to.”
“We of The Peaceful Realms will handle our own family affairs, no need for your concern.”
Within the murmuring voice of the holy spirit monster, the terrifying creature quickly retreated.
And with it, Yu Chan was also swiftly receding.
But Li Muyang was not about to let it escape easily.
His eyes blood-red, he exerted his full strength to wield Mo Immortal’s Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
The formidable combat prowess honed in the game was now exhibited to its fullest.
All the power within Mo Immortal’s corpse was pushed to the extreme by his hands.
In just three breaths, the sword light of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword cut through the black waters, pierced the long rivers, and brought down the blood-robed deity from the clouds.
Sensing this scene, the ancient holy spirit was slightly surprised.
It turned its head again to look at Li Muyang.
Their gazes met in the void.
The Holy Spirit monster shook its head in astonishment.
“Such a powerful Ascendant.”
“It’s a pity… a pity…”
What a pity, the monster did not say.
But it directly threw out the “Reincarnation Record” above its head, the “Reincarnation Record” releasing dazzling cold light charged straight towards Li Muyang.
Li Muyang exerted all his might to slash, attempting to cut through this strange book.
However, all the radiant sword lights of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword that fell on the “Reincarnation Record” caused no damage at all.
The bizarre and mysterious “Reincarnation Record” flew directly in front of Li Muyang, its simple cover unfolding, the yellowed pages rustling as they turned, one after another, depictions of mystical monsters on the pages continuously appeared within Li Muyang’s sight.
Finally, the rapidly turning pages settled on an image of a human soul floating in the dark starry sky.
This depiction of the human soul looked exactly like Li Muyang before he passed through to another world!
Seeing this scene, Li Muyang was stunned.
The next second, the image on the “Reincarnation Record” released a frigid cold light, instantly falling upon Li Muyang.
A tremendous suction force directly absorbed him into the book.
A terrifying sensation of the sky and earth spinning unfolded irresistibly upon Li Muyang.
He lost all means of resistance, spinning rapidly in the dark storm.
Finally, he crashed heavily onto the solid stone ground, emitting a dull sound.
An intense dizziness assaulted Li Muyang’s body.
After stepping into the Cultivation World and achieving some progress in his cultivation, it had been a long time since he had felt such vertigo.
It was only with difficulty that he managed to stand up, only to find the body of Mo Immortal, with vacant eyes, also lying fallen beside him.
As well as the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
Cold fog spread around him.
And silhouettes of Demon Cultivators from the Qing Yang sect were faintly visible in the mist.
This place… could it actually be the Reincarnation Platform within the Fox Immortal Secret Realm?!
Li Muyang, realizing that he had somehow returned to the Reincarnation Platform, was dumbfounded.
Had he actually been sucked into the Reincarnation Platform after being absorbed by that strange “Reincarnation Record”?
He abruptly looked up, and sure enough, he saw a massive fox’s head, as large as a mountain, slowly emerging from the sinister fog surrounding the Reincarnation Platform.
Watching Li Muyang’s departure and return, the mystical Fox Immortal’s gaze was incredibly solemn.
“…Kid, how did you come back?”
Li Muyang looked at the mysterious Fox Immortal, fell silent for a moment, then said, “I encountered that ancient Holy Spirit from the Peaceful Realms; it was the ‘Reincarnation Record’ it threw out that sucked me in…”
Looking at the Fox Immortal Secret Realm before him, Li Muyang frowned: “Why is your secret realm connected to that monster’s ‘Reincarnation Record’?”
The mysterious Fox Immortal before him should not be in league with that Holy Spirit monster.
Having said that, Li Muyang added: “Also, Yu Chan was taken away by that monster. It said it wanted to make Yu Chan return to her origin and transform her into the Ghost Moon Fox.”
As Li Muyang spoke, he observed the massive fox’s reaction.
But after hearing Li Muyang’s astonishing revelation, the vast fox’s gaze remained indifferent, unexpectedly showing no surprise at all.
It seemed to have anticipated this.
After a long silence, it slowly said: “With your current cultivation level, if you were to encounter the Holy Spirit, and it wanted to kill you, it would be difficult for you to survive; even if you did escape, you would likely pay with at least half of your life.”
“Yet it did not kill you but casually let you go… Kid, who exactly are you?”
“What secrets do you carry on your person?”
The fox’s gaze was heavy, looking at Li Muyang with great seriousness.
This mysterious Fox Immortal, apparently not as terrifying as the ancient Holy Spirit, failed to see that Li Muyang was an Ascendant.
