The First Immortal of Destiny

There were six people blocking the path of the Evil-eating Centipede, four men and two women, with cultivations ranging from early to late Divine Bridge Realm!

Through "Insight into All Beings," Shen Mo learned their backgrounds and details. These individuals were not from the Outer Zone but came from a Xiu Xian Force named Luofu Mountain on the Phoenix Continent.

The silver-haired child, a True Immortal of the Formless Realm in his past life, well-versed in knowledge, recognized their origin from their attire and cultivation method aura, and secretly transmitted his voice to Shen Mo and the other two: "Luofu Mountain is an Immortal Mountain slightly smaller in scale than Jade Spring Mountain. The cultivators on the mountain form a sect, which can also be called the Luofu Sect!"

"Six thousand five hundred years ago, the master of Luofu Mountain had already cultivated to the peak of the Formless Realm, just half a step to a True Immortal. If this person did not attain immortality, they have likely perished. I am not sure about the cultivation of the current master of Luofu Mountain."

"The overall strength of Luofu Mountain is not weak, and the cultivators on the mountain are quite united. Their way of doing things has always been domineering and arrogant. It seems that over thousands of years, this trend has not changed."

As the silver-haired child said, these six Luofu Mountain cultivators were indeed somewhat unreasonable, eyeing the convenience of the Evil-eating Centipede and then stopping us, taking out over a dozen middle-grade Spirit Stones and demanding Shen Mo to take them along...

If they had asked nicely, it would be fine. Considering we are fellow cultivators from Phoenix Continent, even if Shen Mo refused, he wouldn’t have fallen out with them.

Yet, their behavior was so arrogant, making it hard not to suspect whether they were deliberately causing trouble?

For instance, if Shen Mo and the others refused their request, they might use this as an excuse to fight, seizing the opportunity to snatch Shen Mo and the others’ spiritual resources; if they agreed, once the Evil-eating Centipede carried them, they might suddenly rise or cause other issues midway!

Therefore, when Shen Mo returned the dozen middle-grade Spirit Stones, he, the silver-haired child, Kang Haoxiu, and Qin Zhen were secretly prepared for a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.

One young female cultivator in pink with a round face from the Luofu Mountain six suddenly spoke: "Since their Spirit Pet can’t carry us, forget it! Don’t block the path anymore, let the four fellow daoists pass."

"Yes, Young Mistress!"

The other five complied and quickly withdrew their magic and magic artifacts, making way for Shen Mo and the others.

Shen Mo gave a deep look at the pink-clothed female cultivator, then patted the Evil-eating Centipede’s head, letting it continue swimming towards the treetop.

After they left, another female cultivator from Luofu Mountain asked, puzzled: "Young Mistress, why did you let them leave so easily?"

"On this trip, besides needing the Centipede Spirit Pet for transportation, once we enter the Celestial Palace, we also need someone to lead and test the dangers ahead. If they refuse, we could just take them down. We have the advantage in numbers, and Senior Brother Fang is a strong late-stage Divine Bridge Realm, so it shouldn’t take much effort!"

The Luofu Mountain Young Mistress rubbed her round face, sighed after a while, and said: "You know, I, the Young Mistress, possess an Innate Divine Ability to sense danger!"

"Just now, I sensed an extremely dangerous aura from them. Especially the owner of the Spirit Pet and the white-haired child. If we truly anger them, aside from the treasure bestowed by my master ensuring my survival, all of you would die here, including Senior Brother Fang."

Upon hearing this, the other five showed faces of surprise and soon turned to relief.

"Almost brought us fatal disaster; fortunately, the Young Mistress possesses extraordinary Skill and stopped us! Seems we must find other candidates to test the dangers at the Celestial Palace."

...

"That Luofu Mountain Young Mistress Tang Chan, her cultivation Talent is truly extraordinary!"

"Actually cultivated three magic arts to the Extremely Perfection level of Epic, awakening three Skills. One of the Skills is similar to my [Chanjue] Destiny, able to sense danger in advance."

"No wonder she suddenly changed her attitude and decisively gave up on being our enemy!"

Shen Mo summoned the Destiny Panel, carefully checking the information on the pink-clothed girl, marveling at the Immortal Realm’s amazing talents, such unique immortals appear.

In the Primordial Realm Chiyan Domain, Shen Mo only saw one person cultivate a magic and martial arts technique to such a level, that person being Heaven Sword Sect’s former Law Master, now Red Flame Sect’s Deputy Sect Master Situ Huo; he cultivated a profound level top-grade swordplay to the Epic realm, triggering Godlike Swordplay and awakening a Skill related to Sword Path!

Considering Luofu Mountain’s long-standing inheritance, what Tang Chan practiced was inevitably a spiritual or even treasured level cultivation method, the difficulty of cultivating it to Extremely Perfection was not something a profound level cultivation method could compare to, showing her terrifying talent in cultivating magic arts.

At the same time, it sparked Shen Mo’s interest in Luofu Mountain and this woman.

Once she and the other five enter the Celestial Palace, there’s a high possibility of competing for celestial treasures together, and he must be prepared!

"Fulong, is Luofu Mountain an immortal sect or a cultivating family? What’s the relationship between the so-called Young Mistress and Luofu Mountain’s master?" Shen Mo asked while using his sense to scout ahead.

"Luofu Mountain’s structure is quite unique. Although it takes the form of an immortal sect, it mainly consists of eighteen Cultivating Families, including Dou, Tao, Yang, and Tang. The cultivators on the mountain come from these families. Outsiders wishing to join Luofu Mountain for cultivation must marry into the sect—men by marrying into a family, and women by marrying one of the surnames, similar to the Kang Family!"

"And the Young Mistress of Luofu Mountain must be the direct descendant of these eighteen families, and also the direct disciple of the current Luofu Mountain master."

"Upon the Luofu Mountain master’s demise, he will leave behind his legacy and some primal power to help her reach Formless Realm, making her the most likely candidate to take over Luofu Mountain and lead the eighteen families. Her status is probably not much inferior to other True Immortals in Luofu Mountain!"

The silver-haired child spoke serenely, sharing with Shen Mo and the others many tales about Luofu Mountain, although these were news from over six thousand five hundred years ago and might not be accurate now!

Chatting leisurely, the Evil-eating Centipede approached the Bright Moon Palace.

Apart from Luofu Mountain cultivators, Shen Mo’s group encountered several waves of strong individuals climbing towards the treetops, including Human Cultivators, demons and monsters, and powerful beings from other zones like Outer Zone creatures, most of whom came from other immortal continents, with few from Phoenix Continent!

Upon encounters, most were wary of each other, avoiding and bypassing without conflict;

After all, all the powerful climbing towards the Celestial Palace are there for the Immortal treasures, there’s no need to fight to the death before even seeing the shadow of the celestial treasures!
