Chapter 263 : Chapter 263
Chapter 263: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell!
【Over these six years, you have gathered a vast amount of cultivation resources.】
【Although you consumed a portion of these resources through cultivation, most of them could not be used in time because you were unable to focus on secluded cultivation.】
【You know that next year will be the time when the Great Dream Immortal Sect sets out to wage war against the Eldritch Race.】
【This time, you decide to let yourself die early in the battle against the Eldritch Race, then hide away alone and enter secluded cultivation.】
【At first, you thought about directly leaving the Great Dream Immortal Sect, but later, you discovered that if you left the Great Dream Immortal Sect, you would have to return all the resources you had obtained from the Great Dream Immortal Sect over the years. Otherwise, the Great Dream Immortal Sect would not let you go.】
【After this method proved unworkable, you also thought about feigning death on the battlefield or secretly escaping by using Divine Power.】
【Not long after, you rejected this idea as well.】
【In a war supervised by an Immortal King, you have no confidence that you can escape right under the Immortal King’s eyes. Moreover, after so many years of development, the Great Dream Immortal Sect naturally has measures to prevent cultivators from fleeing the battlefield at the last moment.】
【The Great Dream Immortal Sect treats such people with extreme cruelty.】
【In the end, you can only rely on your talent, Protection of Destiny. This skill can allow you to perfectly leave this war and escape anyone’s pursuit.】
【As for why you made such a decision, it is because you currently have no intention of returning to the Canglan Realm. You only want to increase your realm with all your heart.】
【However, you do not tell Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji that you do not want to return to the Canglan Realm.】
【The two of them both subconsciously believe that you will use this war to bring them away from the Taixuan Immortal Domain.】
【The seventh year!】
【You and Xuanyuan Tianji set out together, but this time, you are not under Li Mutian’s command.】
【Three months later!】
【You encounter the first wave of Eerie Creature attacks.】
【In this battle, you deliberately give up resisting, allowing the Eerie Creatures to severely wound you.】
【However, your situation fills Xuanyuan Tianji with confusion.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji cannot understand why you, who are invincible in the Immortal Realm, cannot even defeat a single Immortal Realm Eerie Creature.】
【It would be one thing if you could not defeat it, but you are actually severely wounded by it as well.】
【What makes Xuanyuan Tianji even more unable to understand is that under such circumstances, you do not choose to flee. Instead, a mad smile appears on your face as you directly face the Eerie Creature’s attack.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji wants to support you, but at this moment, she is surrounded by five Eerie Creatures and cannot give you any help at all.】
【Under Xuanyuan Tianji’s shocked gaze, you are pierced through the heart by an Eerie Creature and die.】
【DING!】
【Fatal Crisis detected!】
【Emergency triggering of Unique Skill—Protection of Destiny!】
【Protection of Destiny: Forcefully preserves a trace of vitality and teleports you to a Random Safe Location!】
【WHOOSH—】
【Your body instantly disappears from the battlefield.】
【The Eerie Creature whose hand grasps empty air is filled with endless confusion. However, before it can think further, Chen Shu has already rushed over in fury.】
【In Chen Shu’s eyes, you have already been killed and eaten by the Eerie Creature.】
【Chen Shu risks her life to avenge you.】
【However, Chen Shu does not know that you have now returned to the territory of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.】
【You were prepared in advance for the Eerie Creature’s final strike, so it did not harm your life.】
【Using your last bit of strength, you hide in an uninhabited place and begin recovering from your injuries.】
【Now, you can be considered to have completely left the battlefield, and you can cultivate in peace.】
【On the other side, the first wave of Eerie Creature attacks is quickly defeated. Although your squad suffers casualties, the number is very small, and you are one of them.】
【Unlike Chen Shu, after Xuanyuan Tianji sees you disappear at the end, she knows in her heart that you definitely have not died.】
【However, what Xuanyuan Tianji is puzzled about is what you are trying to accomplish with this series of actions.】
【At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianji feels that you have become especially unfamiliar.】
【In the past, whenever something happened, you would tell them. At the very least, you would tell Xuanyuan Tianji.】
【But now, you have disappeared from the battlefield alone, which leaves Xuanyuan Tianji utterly baffled.】
【Dreamless Immortal King’s team continues forward.】
【Xuanyuan Tianji very much wants to find you and ask you for a clear explanation, but right now, she has no way to escape from under Dreamless Immortal King’s eyes.】
【With no other choice, Xuanyuan Tianji can only continue following them along the way.】
【The eighth year!】
【After more than half a year of rest, your injuries have basically recovered completely.】
【After making some simple inquiries, you learn that the place you are currently in is called Dream One City. It is the city closest to the imperial capital of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.】
【After learning this, you do not plan to return to the imperial capital. After all, the imperial capital is within the Great Dream Immortal Sect’s sphere of influence, and all the members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect’s Outer Sect are still cultivating there.】
【Among these Outer Sect members, many people know your name and have naturally seen your face.】
【After buying a residence in Dream One City, you begin secluded cultivation.】
【In your heart, you swear that this time, you will definitely break through to the Mid Immortal Realm in one vigorous push.】
【Time passes!】
【During your secluded cultivation, many things happen that you never expected.】
【In the battle near the Eldritch Sect, Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji both die there.】
【Although Xuanyuan Tianji has many trump cards, she does not possess the Taixu Ancient Dragon’s inherited Divine Powers as you do. She has no way to leave this battlefield at all.】
【In the end, Xuanyuan Tianji dies at the hands of a Heavenly Immortal Realm Eerie Creature.】
【Moreover, one year after you enter secluded cultivation, the imperial capital of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty suffers a sneak attack from Eerie Creatures.】
【This time, the Eerie Creatures include a full squad of ten Immortal King-level Eldritch Beings, and they slaughter their way from the gates of the imperial capital into the imperial palace of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.】
【Seeing the Eerie Creatures attack, the major aristocratic families in the imperial capital all send out their own ancestors to come and protect the emperor.】
【However, although these aristocratic family ancestors are all at the Immortal King Realm, they are already halfway into the grave and are simply no match for the Eldritch Immortal Kings.】
【Just as everyone falls into despair, the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign awakens from his slumber.】
【As soon as the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign awakens, he kills three Immortal King-level Eldritch Beings with thunderous might. The remaining seven Immortal King-level Eldritch Beings then leave the Great Dream Imperial Capital with the other Eerie Creatures.】
【When everyone believes that the Eldritch Race infiltrated the imperial capital because they wanted to launch a sneak attack on the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign, none of them know that the true purpose of the Eldritch Race was to force the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign to take action.】
【The Eldritch Race knows very well that in the previous battle, the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign suffered injuries even more severe than the Thousand-Eyed Emperor’s. As long as they can force the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign to take action again, his injuries will become utterly impossible to reverse.】
【Since the Eldritch Race has achieved its goal, they naturally will not remain for long.】
【The Eldritch Race knows very well that even a starved camel is still larger than a horse. The Great Dream Immortal Sovereign’s final counterattack before death is not something they can withstand.】
【The Eldritch Race only needs to wait for the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign to fall completely. Then, the Taixuan Immortal Domain will be theirs for the taking.】
