Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1263 - 756 Brother will cover you, but only for a while_2

Chapter 1263: Chapter 756 Brother will cover you, but only for a while_2

At least one must occupy one mansion, perhaps even contend with numerous Heavenly Pride for that final position.

For such a significant matter, it’s always prudent to consult with Uncle Master first.

The magnificent Immortal Chariot ascended on clouds, making the land below blur into obscurity.

After a few days, they encountered a White Crane, flapping its wings to guide the Immortal Chariot into a beautiful Immortal Mountain.

"True Master Yun Miao has personally arrived. Is there something urgent? Please, come this way."

The White Crane transformed into a child, leading True Master Yun Miao into a grand hall shrouded in misty smoke.

Within the hall, there were only a sparse few disciples, all direct disciples of the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal True Master Qing Guang.

"Yun Miao from Lingxu Cave, paying respects to Senior Sister You Yao."

On the secondary seat of the hall, a young woman lazily reclined, not wearing a Taoist robe but a black skirt that accentuated her fair skin, adorned with a treasure crown, making it difficult for anyone to look directly at her face.

True Master Yun Miao first saluted the woman, then followed the Crane Child to a seat.

"Brother Yun Miao is quite a rare and esteemed guest; we’ve almost forgotten when we last saw you."

A few fellow disciples jested.

Yun Miao felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing this but only responded with a gentle smile.

"..."

The Crane Child stood quietly at the entrance of the hall, listening to their casual exchanges, occasionally glancing at Yun Miao and noticing his growing unease.

"You all may not know, but Yun Miao came here today with a matter to inquire about."

"Seeing the current world in turmoil, you all have found your paths amidst the chaos. However, I have been cultivating for many years and reached a bottleneck in my boundary with no breakthrough in sight. I wish to travel and seek insights. Do you have any advice?"

Once True Master Yun Miao tactfully explained his purpose.

The Crane Child slowly retracted his gaze, smiling wistfully.

Last time, he thought that this master brother from Lingxu Cave was too slick. Now it seems, the man might have stayed on the mountain too long, focusing only on observing the changing winds and clouds, failing to grasp the most basic situations.

Still thinking that vying for incense during calamity was like hosting a feast, inviting everyone over for a polite chat, and then expecting others to share the delicious dishes on their plates.

As expected, as his words faded, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

The disciples who were warmly exchanging pleasantries moments ago now all averted their gazes, as if they couldn’t understand a word he said.

"Everyone..."

Seeing this, True Master Yun Miao felt a bit embarrassed.

In his opinion, comparing strength solely, even against Senior Sister You Yao of Qingguang Cave, the outcome was still uncertain.

Having such a boundary, and personally coming to discuss should have been a gesture to maintain harmony.

But he never expected this group to be so ungracious.

"Brother Yun Miao."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, a disciple in a blue robe finally took over the conversation, smiling politely: "Previously, Lingxu Cave presented an image of not contending or competing, we believed so and thus discussed compensating with Heavenly Tower Mountain."

"Now that you’ve accepted Heavenly Tower Mountain, and come to say this, isn’t it somewhat unreasonable?"

He acknowledged Yun Miao’s profound boundary but was not willing to enter calamity, not wanting to truly fight, and relied only on the fame of Extreme Nine-Nine Changes, wishing to enjoy everlasting incense, which seemed overly ambitious.

"Brother Shu Yu..."

Yun Miao frowned, wanting to refute but was interrupted.

"Look at our newly initiated junior brothers and sisters of Qingguang Cave, they still have no position. However, your junior sister Ling Su effortlessly took Heavenly Tower Mountain."

Master Shu Yu extended his thumb, pointing to the last two seats.

Jade Pond Ancestor and Shen Mountain Ancestor hurriedly squeezed out smiles, having just arrived in the North Continent and were lucky to be accepted into Qingguang Cave, it was fortunate to keep their lives, let alone participating in these disputes among Northern Continent cultivators.

"Brother, give us a clear answer, if you intend to contest, our previous discussions won’t hold."

Master Shu Yu maintained his polite demeanor, yet his words rendered Yun Miao speechless.

True Master Yun Miao’s face showed signs of anger: "Heavenly Tower Mountain is not currently under my junior sister Ling Su’s care but that Taixu Pill Emperor from Southern Continent. Don’t forget, that cultivator traveled from afar to the North Continent closely related to Qingguang Cave."

He intended to come and discuss, yet he gained nothing and even had to give up Heavenly Tower Mountain?

"That’s not my concern; it’s your Lingxu Cave’s internal affair." Master Shu Yu shrugged.

"My internal affair? If not for your Master’s Crane Child coming over back then..."

Anger surged, True Master Yun Miao abruptly stood up, about to lose his temper on the spot.

At this moment, a cold gaze fell upon him, causing him to freeze and instinctively look back.

He saw that the lazily reclining woman had opened her eyes at some unknown time.

"..."

Although they were cultivators of the same realm, True Master Yun Miao felt a touch of pressure under that gaze.

Even though they were both senior disciples of their respective sects, the difference was You Yao had been among the first batch of cultivators entering calamity, having built a vast reputation and established four mansions worth of grounds, with no one daring to challenge her till now.

Frankly, Yun Miao’s aspiration was somewhat similar, hoping to have enough grounds covering four mansions for his enjoyment.

"If you wish to enter calamity, be forthright about it."

True Master You Yao retracted her gaze, seemingly too lazy to converse further, saying indifferently: "I have no guidance to offer, nor a habit of giving incense to others freely. If you are willing, follow me and compete. After the great calamity, you can take two-tenths of the grounds.

"If you lack the courage, then return to your Lingxu Cave and guard your Heavenly Tower Mountain."

"You!"

Faced with such blunt words, True Master Yun Miao’s expression darkened instantly.

He always considered himself a peer to her, but now her attitude clearly showed she didn’t regard him seriously.

Yun Miao initially thought of leaving in a huff, but upon turning around, his feet wouldn’t take that step.

Combining efforts and receiving only two-tenths, with the return of Heavenly Tower Mountain seemed almost an insult.

But thinking it over, with You Yao having already made a great name and undertaking considerable risk, he merely needed to follow her lead.

When worst comes to worst, owning even two-tenths among four mansions is far larger than Heavenly Tower Mountain.

All he would lose was some face.

Moreover, Ling Su appeared ready to give up on Heavenly Tower Mountain, and Taixu Pill Emperor doesn’t even count as a disciple of Lingxu Cave; yielding to him shouldn’t be an issue.

"I possess such courage." True Master Yun Miao turned back around.

"Ha ha."

Master Shu Yu couldn’t help but laugh, walking over to Jade Pond and Shen Mountain, patting their shoulders meaningfully: "Junior Brother and Sister, shouldn’t you thank Brother Yun Miao? He came specifically to offer you both a grand opportunity."

Shen Mountain Ancestor instinctively squeezed out a smile.

Jade Pond, however, fell into silence, lightly pulling Shen Mountain.

Master Shu Yu intended to disgust Yun Miao through these two, but their reaction was unexpected, raising his eyebrow: "Could it be you’re not satisfied with Heavenly Tower Mountain?"

Hearing this, Shen Mountain Ancestor grew anxious; he had just narrowly escaped with his life and was lucky to join Qingguang Cave, now he could even get a piece of land—what hesitation could there be?

"Thank you for your kindness, but we just arrived in the North Continent and have contributed nothing, how could we take the Dan Emperor’s grounds."

Jade Pond Ancestor humbly bowed his head, politely declining the offer.

In the Southern Continent, she had already figured it out; as calamity arises, those destined for it would emerge.

Taixu Pill Emperor was one such being.

By comparison, having been in the North Continent for mere months.

They were disciples in name, essentially without status, while the Dan Emperor, even bearing the name of an Insect Demon junior, had claimed a territory for himself.

This already proved a lot.

Barely escaping from the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, Jade Pond wouldn’t dare provoke another, recognizing it as courting a fatal disaster, not a benefit.
