The First Immortal of Destiny

"Buzz!"

The nature’s spiritual energy trembled slightly, and a streak of golden light appeared above the mountains.

As the light faded, Shen Mo’s figure emerged, his eyes shimmering as he constantly surveyed below!

This place is located to the east of Dayu Mountain, about a hundred thousand miles away. This distance is not considered far for those in the Divine Bridge Realm, and using ordinary escape techniques, they can reach it in a few shichen.

According to Qin Hu and others, within a million miles, in addition to the relatively rich spiritual energy of Dayu Mountain, there are several similar Immortal Mountains, all located in the eastern mountains. However, they have now been occupied by a group of demons with considerable strength!

Under the continuous exploration of the five senses and the [Method Eye Candle Wisp] Destiny, Shen Mo quickly discovered an Immortal Mountain slightly smaller than Five Dragon Mountain;

This mountain has excellent earthly veins, rich spiritual qi, and abundant resources. Apart from being smaller in scale, it is a top-notch cultivation blessed land in every other aspect!

But he could see that this Immortal Mountain was extraordinary, and the demons and monsters here could also see that. Just on this mountain alone, there were seven or eight Class V demons residing, with countless demons and monsters below Class V, turning a good Immortal Mountain into a place reeking with Demonic Aura.

"These demons and monsters are likely remnants fleeing from even further east!"

This place originally housed a large number of local demons, but they were no match for the invading demons. They either died or surrendered, and the place was taken over by the outsiders.

Several Immortal Masters from the Heaven Patrolling Temple had inquired into their backgrounds, learning that farther away, two terrifying great demons had erupted in battle, and these were the subordinates of one of those great demons. After their leader’s defeat and fall, they fled here.

Dayu Mountain has numerous formations and prohibitions constructed, not to guard against these "remnants", but against the greater great demons to the east.

Shen Mo evaluated the strength of the demons in the mountains, concluding that exterminating them entirely wouldn’t be difficult, but he didn’t act immediately...he was searching for a suitable future site for the Green Cloud Cave Fairyland, and this was just one of the alternatives. If Jade Spring Fairy managed to kill the Hallow Venerable and returned to the Immortal Realm, the Green Cloud Cave could completely remain on Jade Spring Mountain, with no need to move to Dongjie Continent!

Moreover, even if he killed all the demons nested in the mountain now, it wouldn’t be long before other demons occupied it again, requiring another cleanup, so there was no need to act now.

After lingering for a moment above the mountains, Shen Mo once again escaped towards the east.

With his current abilities, as long as he didn’t encounter a Demon True Immortal, there wouldn’t be a risk of falling, so he planned to continue eastward to see if he could find a more suitable Immortal Mountain and investigate the status of the great demons there!

After all, he intended to collect the Green Cloud Cave if the Hallow Venerable returned to the Corpse Mountain Range and bring it near Dayu Mountain to be neighbors with the Heaven Patrolling Temple.

If the great demons further east were terrifyingly powerful and hard to contend with, he could only search for another blessed land...

Several days later, Shen Mo entered a wild mountain range.

Similar to the Corpse Mountain Range, Immortal Mountains with excellent earthly veins and rich spiritual qi were everywhere, but the deeper he went, the sparser the demons and monsters became, as if a daunting presence in the depths was terrifying even to demons!

After trekking for another three days, a majestic Immortal Mountain, no less magnificent than Jade Spring Mountain, suddenly appeared in Shen Mo’s vision.

"This is..."

Standing high in the sky tens of thousands of miles away, Shen Mo raised his head to look vigilantly, suddenly noticing a familiar figure perched atop the towering peak reaching into the Firmament.

Its massive body was of indeterminate length, with no legs under its belly but two wings. Both its head and body bore a striking resemblance to a True Dragon, with only slight differences in various details...it was the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon that had once devoured Qing State and billions of creatures!

"It has indeed come to the Immortal Realm!" Shen Mo squinted his eyes slightly, unable to conceal the cold light within his eyes.

This moment, the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon had its eyes tightly shut, seemingly immersed in sleep, its snores like peals of Heavenly Thunder, continuously echoing in the mountains, stirring clouds with the nature’s spiritual energy undulating non-stop!

On its left flank was a lengthy wound several feet long, now healed and scabbed over. Though vicious and fearsome in appearance, to the gigantic body of the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon, this wound was no more bothersome than a scratch from a sharp blade to a human.

The dragon blood that had dripped onto the rocks had long since dried, resembling a large patch of blood-colored amber, sparkling with a beautiful luster and nurturing hundreds of Dragon Blood Grass!

The Immortal Mountain where the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon was coiling had its mountainside obviously gnawed upon, reminiscent of the old Qing State; however, the Universal Realm had a high sky and thick earth, making the space unusually stable, unlike the Primordial Realm where even an entire region vanished entirely.

According to the inherited manuals of the Zhou family of Immortals, the Soaring Serpent belongs to the True Dragon lineage, being one of the ancient Bizarre Dragons.

The compilers of the manuals had made numerous conjectures regarding its origins.

Now, with Shen Mo’s cultivation level and experience having grown, he could mostly confirm that the Soaring Serpent, like the Heavenly Demons, originated from other worlds...during Ancient Times, the Primordial Realm and other worlds intersected and connected, and the Soaring Serpent clan roamed over, leaving behind many legends. Once the two realms parted, they returned to their original world and vanished from the Primordial Realm!

The Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon he was seeing might have entered the Primordial Realm in Ancient Times, although it’s hard to say.

But one thing was certain—the world it came from likely saw its "Artificial Realm" half vanish completely, after which it roamed among many Withering Realms;

As the Universal Realm established connections with all realms, it ascended to the Immortal Realm along with Shen Mo and others!

The entity that had slain the ruler of this mountain range, forcing a group of demons to flee, and subsequently defeated the Demon-corrupted True Dragon to near extinction, was likely the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon; years ago, it came here, fancied this Immortal Mountain, fought fiercely with the original "natives", and after eliminating all threats, began to gnaw on the Immortal Mountain, then fell into slumber.

"This evil dragon is at the sixth Dao Realm peak, only one step away from achieving the True Immortal Realm. With my current strength, even if I sacrificed all the Soul Generals, I’m afraid I still couldn’t handle it!" Shen Mo pondered for a moment, ultimately abandoning the thought of testing it with the God Slaying Array.

In those days, he could wound the Longevity Demon Lord with the Soul Generals Array because the Lord was also suppressed inexplicably by the power of a True Immortal’s cave mansion.

After standing in place and mulling over the situation for a moment, Shen Mo unleashed the Demon Slaying Sword, slashing in the direction he came from, then initiated the escaping light, flying towards the mountain peak, and upon nearing it, promptly used a spell to collect the dried dragon blood resembling blood-colored amber, storing it in the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

It wasn’t that he intended to use the blood of the Soaring Serpent Bizarre Dragon for cultivation, but having obtained its blood, even if it awoke and left here, he could use the Divination Treasure Mirror to deduce its approximate destination.
