Cultivating To Immortality

"Fang Hong?" Azure Emperor looked in the direction where the yellow light descended, her eyebrows slightly raised, clearly a little surprised.

Could it be that Fang Hong killed an Elder of the Fallen Immortal Sect?

This was simply unbelievable; Fang Hong had only recently advanced to the Body Integration Stage, how could he possibly kill a cultivator in the Late Stage of Body Integration?

Wu He's gaze also followed the yellow light to Fang Hong, and when he saw that Fang Hong was only at the Early Stage of Body Integration, his expression also showed some surprise.

Only an Early Stage Body Integration Cultivator?

How exactly was Grand Elder Hu San killed?

"Azure Emperor, you saw it too, didn't you? Who is that person? Could he be an Elder of your Holy Land?"

Wu He raised his hand and pointed into the void at Fang Hong, questioning in a cold voice.

Although he couldn't understand how an Early Stage Body Integration Cultivator could kill Grand Elder Hu San, who was in the Late Stage of Body Integration, the Soul-Fixing Plate never made mistakes.

Since the light pointed to Fang Hong, Grand Elder Hu San's death must be related to him.

"Fang Hong, come over here." Azure Emperor's face remained calm, and her tone revealed no emotion.

Fang Hong, helpless, could only fly out of his Immortal Cave and land a few feet to Azure Emperor's side, bowing in greeting.

Su Shan of Azure Emperor Palace looked at this scene, her face full of worry.

"Fang Hong, what exactly happened? Tell me truthfully, with me here, I will certainly uphold justice for you." Azure Emperor's gaze fell on him as she slowly said

"Holy lord, what happened was..."

Fang Hong composed himself and recounted everything that had occurred in Black Abyss Ridge.

From encountering Grand Elder Hu San's provocation, to the other party attempting to kill him, and then to him being forced to counterattack and kill him, he concealed nothing.

Azure Emperor was visibly stunned after listening.

Good heavens, this kid really dared to act, he actually killed an Elder in the Late Stage of Body Integration from the Fallen Immortal Sect.

When Wu He heard Fang Hong's explanation, although he was angry, he was more surprised.

He had cultivated for thousands of years and had never heard of any Early Stage Body Integration Cultivator being able to kill a Late Stage Body Integration Cultivator without suffering any harm, which completely overturned his understanding.

"Azure Emperor, you heard it too. This person killed a Grand Elder of my sect, this matter absolutely cannot be overlooked."

"Hand him over to my Fallen Immortal Sect, we will imprison him for three thousand years, and then return him to you intact." Wu He suppressed the shock in his heart and said coldly.

No matter what, Fang Hong had killed an Elder of his Fallen Immortal Sect, and there must be an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hong rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking, if I'm imprisoned by you for three thousand years, will I even be able to return.

"Hahaha." Azure Emperor suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter clear and resonant.

"Good. Very good. Fang Hong, you did very well, this is the demeanor of my Azure Emperor Holy Land, greatly enhancing the prestige of my Holy Land."

Not only did Azure Emperor not blame Fang Hong for causing trouble, but she openly praised him without reservation, her eyes full of admiration.

"Azure Emperor, what do you mean by this? Do you intend to shield a criminal? You should consider the consequences carefully." Wu He's face instantly darkened.

His cultivation power suddenly erupted, and a terrifying pressure spread outwards, instantly changing the color of the sky, gathering dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.

Fang Hong felt his mind shake violently, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, his chest felt stifled, and even breathing became difficult.

Just then, Azure Emperor flicked her finger, and a soft green light enveloped him; the terrifying oppressive feeling immediately dissipated, and he finally caught his breath.

"Enough, Wu He, don't play these tricks in front of me."

Azure Emperor's tone turned cold, and she said unceremoniously, "That Elder Grand Elder Hu San of yours was entirely to blame, he deserved to die for being inferior in skill, and no one else is to be blamed."

"Good. It seems your Azure Emperor Holy Land is determined to go to war with my Fallen Immortal Sect?"

Wu He's face grew even uglier, his eyes filled with Killing Intent, and his cultivation power surged even more violently, while the lightning in the sky became even more ferocious.

"What if we go to war?"

Before her words finished, Azure Emperor no longer held back, her entire aura erupted, and she took out a green longsword, directly slashing out a green Sword Qi towards Wu He.

Whoosh.

This Sword Qi appeared ordinary, but in reality, it contained the power to destroy heaven and earth; wherever it passed, winds and clouds rolled back, and only this incomparably sharp green light remained between heaven and earth.

Wu He's face suddenly changed drastically, his heart violently shook, and not daring to be negligent in the slightest, he quickly put up a protective shield to defend against the Sword Qi attack.

Bang.

With a loud bang, the green Sword Qi was exceptionally sharp, breaking through everything in its path, instantly tearing apart Wu He's protective shield and fiercely sending him flying hundreds of feet away.

Pfft.

Wu He barely managed to stabilize himself, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

He clutched his chest, his face full of shock, and pointed at Azure Emperor, crying out in a lost voice.

"You, how could you. Late Stage Mahayana. When did you advance to the Late Stage Mahayana?"

"Late Stage Mahayana." Fang Hong witnessed this astonishing sword strike firsthand from the side, and his heart violently shook.

He had always thought that Azure Emperor was only at the Early Stage Mahayana, but he never expected her to have already reached the Late Stage Mahayana, which completely exceeded his expectations.

Once one advances to the Late Stage Mahayana, it is enough to trigger the True Immortal Tribulation, and one becomes qualified to contend for the True Immortal Realm; their strength is far beyond that of ordinary Mahayana Cultivators.

"If you want to go to war, I am ready anytime."

"Even if your Fallen Immortal Sect has the capability to annihilate my Azure Emperor Holy Land, you must also remember that the sword in my hand can likewise bring chaos to your Fallen Immortal Sect."

"Scram." Azure Emperor pointed her sword at Wu He, reprimanding him unceremoniously, her tone majestic.

Wu He's face was extremely grim, and without saying a word, he immediately fled.

"Holy Lord's Divine Might."

"Holy Lord's Divine Might."

"Holy Lord's Divine Might."

...

Azure Emperor repelled Wu He with a single sword strike, and all the Elders and disciples of Azure Emperor Holy Land were flushed with excitement, raising their arms and cheering, their voices echoing through the sky.

Everyone's gaze towards the green figure high in the sky was filled with fervent worship.

Fang Hong composed himself, took a step forward, and respectfully bowed to Azure Emperor, saying, "Congratulations, Holy Lord, on advancing to the Late Stage Mahayana; Ascension to the Immortal Realm is just around the corner."

"Hahaha. Ascension to the Immortal Realm is still a long way off."

Azure Emperor put away her longsword, and the pressure around her slowly receded, and the celestial phenomena in the sky also dissipated.

"Speaking of which, I must thank you for the Dragon Blood you gave me, which allowed me to successfully achieve this breakthrough."

"The spirit pills refined with that Dragon Blood just happened to help me break through my bottleneck." Azure Emperor smiled.

Fang Hong was slightly surprised; it turned out that Azure Emperor's breakthrough was also related to him.

At this moment, Azure Emperor teased, "You little rascal, you're really bold, you even dared to kill a Grand Elder of the Fallen Immortal Sect. But then again, that Grand Elder Hu San was also to blame, his death is not to be regretted."

Fang Hong looked embarrassed; this time, he was indeed careless and didn't expect the Fallen Immortal Sect to have a Soul-Fixing Plate.

"Holy Lord, the Fallen Immortal Sect won't come over with an Immortal Artifact, will they?" Fang Hong asked seriously, worriedly.

"You even know about Immortal Artifacts? It seems that Grand Elder Hu San suffered quite a bit at your hands. Don't worry, activating an Immortal Artifact consumes a great deal, and those three old fellows from the Fallen Immortal Sect won't act rashly."

"After all, there are still the two great sects, the Creation sect and the Sword Immortal sect, eyeing them covetously; once those three old fellows consume too much, the Fallen Immortal Sect will face a crisis, which would be more loss than gain." Azure Emperor explained.
