Chapter 188: Cave Heaven, Immortal Realm (asking for monthly ticket!!!)

Broken and depressing.

At the foot of this hillside that looked like it had just been hit by a storm, the "immortal" in yellow, who had just recovered from his serious injuries, was now frightened out of his wits!
Several fellow Taoists who had been chatting with him excitedly just now had all fallen to the side in a miserable state of death. In the devastating attack just now, their previously proud cultivation had not played any role at all, and their magic weapons and spells were all useless.

If the other party hadn't stood up himself, I would probably have died without knowing how I died!

No matter how stupid he was, he should have reacted by now. Besides, he was not stupid. He decisively slid down to his knees, showing his humble attitude to the fullest...

The other party was unexpectedly young, even... young, and the appearance of an underage child was really confusing:

Whose child has such accomplishments at such a young age?
Or maybe, the other party is actually an old monster who is pretending to be young?

The yellow-clothed "immortal" was in a state of panic...

The other party seemed to be a little dazed. After saving his life, he stood there for a long time, and then he spoke softly as if waking up from a dream:
"I ask, you answer."

"Yes Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the man in yellow nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying that he would tell him everything he knew and would cooperate as much as possible!

After all, this is the only chance...

[You asked him about their cultivation. You were curious about why they were so weak. Not only could they not reach the level of a true immortal, but they couldn't even withstand a casual blow from you.]

[The man in yellow was groaning inwardly: The fact that you can ask such a nonsensical question can only mean that you are an old monster who has never appeared in the world and has just come out of retreat, so you urgently need to catch a tongue to figure out the current situation... You can also let yourself encounter such a legendary thing?! ]

[The unlucky mother opened the door for the unlucky man, and the unlucky man is so unlucky! ]

[But the more this happened, the less he dared to hide it. In his brief description, for the first time in your life, you got a general understanding of the current monks...]

[“…Since the spiritual energy between heaven and earth dried up, the world has entered the Age of the End of the Dharma. Various sects have hidden themselves in many caves and blessed places…Except for recruiting disciples from outside, practitioners no longer stay in the human world…”]

[According to his description, when the spiritual energy of the prehistoric world was basically completely exhausted, the mortal world returned to mortals, and the cultivators took the initiative to withdraw from some scattered caves and blessed places, and from then on, the two kinds of people and immortals no longer interacted with each other. ]

[The man in yellow is a cultivator who was born in a blessed cave. He usually works with a few fellow Taoists to recruit mortals who are interested in seeking immortality. If they really have immortal roots, they will be accepted into the blessed cave and addressed as "fellow Taoist" by the other cultivators...]

[“So, you are actually the right path?”]

[Seeing you frown and ask, the man in yellow nodded repeatedly and answered seriously: Of course it is the righteous way! We are different from those evil people who wantonly slaughter people in the world. Even our blessed land will take the initiative to protect mortals, which is how we can keep this corner of peace! ]

[Shangxian! Our family is the genuine and righteous one! ]

[After listening to the yellow-clothed man's careful explanation, you are a little confused: If these people are not bad people, but are really decent monks... then why did the immortal use the poison cake to harm you? ]

[You pointed at the dead "poison cake immortal" lying on the ground in confusion: "If you are of the righteous path, then why... why did I see him give the poison cake to a little kid? So vicious..."]

【ah? ! 】

[The man in yellow was shocked at the time, and cursed in his heart: "You are a troublemaker!", and then he decisively crushed the corpse of his fellow disciple to ashes! ]

[He raised his head and cursed: So it was this bastard who offended the Immortal! He deserves to be killed! If the Immortal hadn't taken action in advance, I would have made him wish he was dead...]

[This is the individual behavior of this bastard. It has nothing to do with our fellow monks. Please do not be angry, Immortal! ]

[Slide and cut, all in one go! ]

[You are surprised at his decisiveness. How could you, at such a young age, have ever seen such a scene? Seeing this, you can't help but feel a sense of novelty as if you have opened the door to a new world...]

[However, you still temporarily accepted his decision. In addition, he just said that those mortals who were taken away were going to the blessed land to become disciples, so their lives are probably not in danger.]

[As for the poisonous cake incident, it was also the personal behavior of the "immortal" before. Although your mood is quite extreme, now that the culprit is dead, there is really no need for you to implicate innocent people.]

[As for the monk in front of you who slid to his knees decisively, you still want to get along with him as peacefully as possible. It just so happens that you know nothing about worldly affairs right now, so it would be good to have someone to teach you...]

[So you ask him again: Are all monks nowadays as weak as you? ]

【Man in yellow: ……】

[Although the man in yellow wanted to say that he was not weak, the situation was stronger than him. Facing this unintentional humiliation, he still answered aggrievedly: The reason why the immortal thinks we are weak is because we are not truly strong...]

【Through his description, you have once again perfected your understanding of the current circle of immortal cultivators in the prehistoric world: the prehistoric world is the "mortal world", and the various caves and blessed lands are the "immortal cultivation world", so the immortal cultivation world is full of cultivators who have not yet become immortals.】

[And if they cultivate diligently in the blessed land and become true immortals, then they will have the qualifications to go to the real "immortal world"! ]

[“The Immortal Realm, also known as the Thirty-Three Heavens, is the capital of the Heavenly Court in the mythological era. You can enter it through the Zhongtian Gate on Mount Buzhou!”]

[When the man in yellow mentioned the fairyland, he clearly showed a longing look, but the more he spoke, the more regretful he became: It's a pity that Zhongtianmen is on Mount Buzhou, and Mount Buzhou is the backbone of Pangu. Even though countless years have passed, it still has the heavy legacy of Pangu.]

[Those below the level of True Immortal cannot move at all in Buzhou Mountain. Only True Immortals can enter the Thirty-Three Heavens with their remaining power! ]

[“It is said that in the fairyland, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still abundant, and all kinds of resources are available. There is no sign of the end of the law. True immortals are just ants, and celestial immortals and mysterious immortals are not uncommon... That is the real essence of heaven and earth!”]

[His description will shock you: There are still masters in the world?! ]

[For a moment, you can't help but calm down a little...][And your attention is also attracted by part of his words: Mythical Heaven? ]

[You remembered the strategy that your "other self" had given you before, which asked you to collect as much information about the Heavenly Palace as possible. Now that you have met someone who knows the inside story, you must ask him some questions.]

[“I want to know how the Heavenly Palace was destroyed?”]

[Faced with your question, the man in yellow was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: Immortal, your question is too far-fetched, how would I know this...]

[“I only know that the Heavenly Palace disappeared suddenly, and the Thirty-Three Heavens is the capital city left behind by the Heavenly Palace. I don’t know anything else…”]

[You are a little disappointed. It seems that you will have to answer this question slowly in the future.]

【After thinking about it, you decided to ask him one last question. 】

[“I want to find a few mortals. I wonder if you can help?”]

[The man in yellow patted his chest upon hearing this and said with a confident smile: Immortal, just speak up. I will protect and control this mortal world. As long as you want to find someone, I will definitely find him! ]

[You feel relieved. It seems that you will find your parents and brother soon... This person said that his paradise is a righteous place, and he only recruits mortals to become his disciples.]

[Now that I have become a powerful True Immortal, I only need to give orders in this blessed land, and my family will naturally receive better treatment.]

[You have already thought about it. As the protagonist, you must travel far and wide, up to the sky and into the earth, in order to solve one eternal mystery after another for the "other self". If you do this, you will not have the energy to take care of your family in the future.]

[In this case, why not entrust them to this righteous family, so that I can solve the mystery with peace of mind...]

[Thinking this way, you can't help but have a great liking for this righteous family, and you're still thinking about what kind of reward you should give them. After all, you're not chaotic and evil. Although your thoughts are extreme, you still have a basic sense of good and evil.]

[So, you gently said to the man in yellow: "I am looking for three mortals who joined your paradise a few days ago..."]

[Ding! Ding! Boom!]

[The man in yellow called out Gordon in his heart, and his originally confident face suddenly became a little stiff...]

[But he still held out a glimmer of hope, so he asked cautiously: "My Lord, can you reveal the names of these three people? I can check them carefully..."]

[You didn't think there was anything wrong, and you told him the names of your parents and brother. He immediately started to recall them, and the result of his recall was...]

[“Sir… these three people may not be found…”]

[He said with sweat on his forehead: "Although we in the righteous way protect mortals, we will only recruit those who are suitable for cultivation and have immortal roots, and those ordinary mortals who are recruited..."]

[You suddenly panic and ask: "What will happen to them?"]

[The man in yellow was sweating profusely, but still tried to struggle: "Forgive me for being so rude... I wonder if these three people have any old relationship with you?"]

【“They are my parents and my younger brother.”】

【Man in yellow: ……】

[He looked at you in disbelief. It was hard to believe that a true immortal like you could have three mortal relatives... But with the facts in front of him, he had no choice but to believe this nonsense.]

[So he sighed and said, "Goddess, these three people do not have immortal roots, so they do not meet our entry standards. For such mortals, we have already arranged for them to resettle in other places with better harvests!"]

[“Besides, the natural disaster this year affected too large an area, too many people came, and we didn’t carefully record the whereabouts of three ordinary mortals, so it is really difficult to find them…”]

[He was extremely self-blaming and in a very low mood. He was very sorry that he couldn't help you.]

[But your expression gradually turned cold...]

[“I ask, you answer.”]

[You clenched your fists tightly and asked the yellow-clothed man, whose face was becoming increasingly pale, coldly again: "What will happen to ordinary mortals?"]

[Seeing that his clumsy tricks failed to fool you, a true immortal, the man in yellow wanted to struggle a few more times, but under your increasingly cold and severe threats, his psychological defenses finally collapsed...]

[“…He…they will be stripped of their bodies, and their souls…their souls will be refined into spiritual energy to…fill the needs of the cave…”]

[The man in yellow kowtowed repeatedly, crying and begging for mercy: Immortal! I didn’t do this! This is the rule set by the elders and stewards of the blessed land, and they also sent people to enforce it... Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, please spare my life! ]

[However, his justice cut did not work this time...]

[Your face is pale, and your eyes are filled with sadness, confusion, anger, and regret...]

[You opened your mouth and spoke after a long time, but your voice was extremely dry.]

[“Take me… to your paradise.”]
