These things sound ridiculous, even to Immortal Yanshen, who is a True Immortal.
But this is the truth; it is the knowledge gained through blood by the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates in the human world.
To this day, the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates in the human world, directly or indirectly, have almost all perished because of the Qiao family members, which naturally makes Immortal Yanshen take them seriously.
In the moment Qiao Mu charged at him, countless thoughts flashed through Immortal Yanshen’s mind.
"I cannot kill him, I can only trap him, and I must stop him from contacting other Qiao family members through their bloodline connection…"
"In other words, it would be best to capture him alive and make sure he cannot resist or lose consciousness; otherwise, if he commits suicide, it may attract more Qiao family members…"
As Immortal Yanshen thought about this, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
What a hellish difficulty…
If he hasn’t yet become a True Immortal, he might be ten times stronger than the current Qiao Huo, and he might still not be able to resist at all.
But he, the Soul Predicting Path practitioner, had already ascended to the Immortal Realm a hundred thousand years ago and became a True Immortal!In the blink of an eye.
His thoughts had already raced a thousand times, and he had made a decision in his heart.
Just as Qiao Mu came flying like a shooting star, cutting through the heavy clouds.
Immortal Yanshen gestured with his fingers, pointed at Qiao Mu from a distance, and shouted:
"Freeze!"
Just as his words fell.
Qiao Mu, who originally moved through the sky like a shooting star, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
This stop was very abrupt, changing from great motion to complete stillness in an instant.
Everyone looked closely and saw Qiao Mu flying through the air, his long, snowy hair still flowing backward.
Beneath him, the vast True Strength took on the shape of flowing clouds, pausing at the moment just before it would scatter.
In that moment, Qiao Mu resembled an insect caught in amber, frozen in its previous motion, like a lifelike sculpture full of movement.
It was not Qiao Mu who changed from great motion to stillness.
Rather, it was time that had stopped flowing at this moment.
"Qiao Huo, my friend…" Immortal Diyuan’s gaze deepened.
"He should not act in this way; True Immortals stand at the peak of all worlds, ultimate beings that exist alongside heaven and earth."
"Although he has lived for sixty-nine thousand years, and should be very wise, this time he still acted a bit recklessly."
A cultivator on the path of immortality uses their own magical power to harness the power of the universe.
When one reaches the True Immortal Stage, they can even live as long as the universe, with endless life.
The abilities of a True Immortal can capture stars and the moon, create a small world, and establish an Immortal Gate lineage that blesses future generations for thousands of years.
With an Immobilization Skill from Immortal Yanshen, one can also influence the flow of time in a small area, which indeed is a power like that of the gods.
"The reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor’s daughter… Could it reveal the path to survival?" Immortal Diyuan felt anxious.
"Desperate Strategy · Flying Immortal Halberd!"
Qiao Feixian desperately hurled the halberd in her hand, and it transformed into a sharp light that sliced through the sky, flying towards Qiao Mu, who seemed frozen in the air.
But then, as the halberd got closer, it too, like an insect caught in a spider’s web, paused in the air just like Qiao Mu.
The Immortal Yanshen was attracted by the noise and lifted his eyes to look at the many martial artists in front of him.
"Friend Deyuan, you appear here to share a piece of the pie with me?" Immortal Yanshen said with a calm expression.
The Immobilization Skill could originally only last for a very short time.
To maintain it for a long time is quite difficult, even for someone like him, a True Immortal.
But besides that Qiao Mu, the martial artists who appeared here were nothing more than common folks to him.
Even if he used the Immobilization Skill to hold Qiao Mu in place, he was still unmatched among humans.
As Immortal Yanshen looked over, the martial artists were greatly shaken, their gazes darting between Qiao Mu, who was frozen in the air, and Immortal Yanshen.
This unimaginable Immobilization Skill had long surpassed these martial artists’ understanding of celestial arts.
At the back of the battlefield, Flying Fish Guard Commander Wei En steadied himself, though his heart was trembling.
Nowadays, he can be considered a main pillar for the Great Yan soldiers, but at this moment, he could not think of any solution.
He could only instinctively use the Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique to spread the happenings on the battlefield as quickly as possible.
…………………………..
Zhong Province, Imperial Capital Palace.
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Wuping sat at the long table, looking extremely serious.
Beside him was 1st rank True strength master, the spiritual refining Flying Fish Guard, Chu Xing.
Since the Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique became widely known, there has always been a spiritual refining Flying Fish Guard by Emperor Wuping’s side.
But at this moment, within Flying Fish Guard Chu Xing’s spiritual refining intuition, he received an extremely terrifying message.
"True Immortal, within the Soul Predicting Path Immortal Gate of Southeast Province, a True Immortal has unexpectedly appeared… and even Qiao family member Qiao Huo…"
Emperor Wuping walked in the Imperial Study, and at that moment, he felt troubled.
But the news that troubled him was not just this.
"Your Majesty…" The Flying Fish Guard Chu Xing looked pained.
"In Bei Province, East Bei Province, and Northwest Prefecture, the spiritual refining Flying Fish Guards have lost contact."
"The great network of Flying Fish Guards created by Lord Wei En was supposed to cover Jiu Province, quickly sending news to the Imperial Capital, but just now, there has been no response from the Flying Fish Guards in those three regions…"
At this point, Flying Fish Guard Chu Xing’s expression changed again, and he said, "No, in Bei Province… there is still one spiritual refining Flying Fish Guard who sent a message…"
"He said… a True Immortal has also appeared in Bei Province, claiming to be… Immortal Lord Qingxuan."
"The entire Bei Province is now in despair, with many cities silent and lifeless…"
Emperor Wuping, who was previously walking in the Imperial Study, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A news scarier than the arrival of a True Immortal is that there is more than one True Immortal.
Hearing this news, it seems that Immortal Lord Qingxuan and Immortal Yanshen have appeared not just in Bei Province and Southeast Province…
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the Imperial Study.
"Wandering hero Nian Chao Sheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The Flying Fish Guard Chu Xing immediately widened his eyes, drew his sword, and looked at the figure that had appeared outside the Imperial Study without anyone noticing.
Founding Emperor Yan was not in the palace, yet the always mysterious Nian Chao Sheng chose this moment to appear in the palace…
"Nian Chao Sheng?" Emperor Wuping squinted his eyes.
Many years ago, during the fall of the Great Dao Sect, he had caught a glimpse of Nian Chao Sheng, the master of Tide Listening Building, and knew this person was extraordinary.
Even Founding Emperor Yan, who had lived for three to four hundred years, seemed not to know much about Nian Chao Sheng and Tide Listening Building.
He is now over sixty years old and is no longer the young emperor he once was. Even when faced with sudden changes, he remains composed, though his expression shows some emotion.
"You, someone so above the world, appear at this moment. You must have come for a reason, not just to visit the Three Treasure Hall…" He looked at the Flying Fish Guard, Chu Xing, beside him.
"Step back. Today seems to be a very important time, and I’m sure Landlord is not here just to assassinate me."
"Your Majesty, you joke," Nian Chao Sheng, who usually seemed carefree, appeared very serious this time.
Though he did not kneel, he bowed respectfully and addressed him as Your Majesty.
As the King of Demons, his gesture towards the mortal emperor, Emperor Wuping, clearly showed respect.
"My visit to the palace is actually to offer Your Majesty a plan to survive the great disaster in Jiu Province," Nian Chao Sheng said earnestly.
"No eggs are unbroken under a collapsed nest; how can mere mortals escape from a great calamity?"
"A plan for me?" Emperor Wuping frowned.
"Is this the right time to enter the palace and offer my advice?"
"That’s correct." Nian Chao Sheng paused, looking directly into Emperor Wuping’s eyes, and slowly said:
"Your Majesty mustn’t underestimate yourself. Even though your martial skills are not high and your power is low…."
"Before this great disaster, what difference does it make if we have strong or weak individuals among us?"
"As the emperor of the Great Yan Imperial Court, Your Majesty has an important task that only you can fulfill."
Nian Chao Sheng’s expression turned serious as he spoke softly.
Emperor Wuping narrowed his eyes.
He was not young anymore; he was an elderly emperor and would not easily believe this mysterious Nian Chao Sheng.
