The First Immortal of Destiny

The relic from his previous life was nowhere to be found, making the Silver-haired Child extremely frustrated, yet he was truly unwilling to exit the Immortal Mansion like this!

After a round of discussion, the group set off once more, heading deep into the Dungeon...

When they flew out of the bitter sea, and the magical sound of the Immortal Preaching became barely audible, Shen Mo suddenly stopped and said, "You go ahead first, I’ll fish for some more treasures and catch up with you guys in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Puppet Yama nodded in agreement, while the Silver-haired Child and Kang Haoxiu’s faces showed a peculiar expression.

Shen Mo naturally knew what they were worried about, nothing more than expecting that he would hide in the back to avoid danger, and when the three of them ahead cleared the obstacles on the road, he would catch up later to reap the benefits.

Immediately, Shen Mo shook the Soul Refining Flag, releasing a mid-stage Class V Demon Soul, and ten Class IV Demon Soul Generals. After issuing them instructions, he conveyed to the Silver-haired Child and the others, "I can’t alleviate the pressure for you in the upcoming journey, so I’ll let my Imperial Soul underlings exert effort on my behalf!"

"If not for special circumstances, they won’t easily fall, they’re the best aid for path clearing and danger testing, even better than Qin’s puppets."

Before encountering the Evil Spirit of Zuoli Country, Shen Mo also sent out Demon Soul Generals to open the way.

However, front-located Demon Soul Generals didn’t encounter the Evil Spirit, but instead, the group of Shen Mo behind inexplicably got absorbed into Zuoli Country... Now knowing that the problem lies with Qin Zhen accompanying them, the mechanical heart of the Mechanic Path cultivators in her hands triggered the Evil Spirit disturbance.

In the bitter sea, Shen Mo didn’t summon the Demon Soul Generals either, lest they listen to the distorted teachings and experience uncontrollable changes.

But normally speaking, Soul Generals difficult to fall are indeed good Thunder Hand strategies!

As for why he didn’t bring out more Class V Demon Soul Generals, the reason was simple, there were a total of twenty-eight Class V Demon Soul Generals in the Soul Refining Flag;

If something went wrong during this period, losing one Class V Demon Soul General, he could still set up the God Slaying Array with twenty-seven array cores, but losing two or more Class V Demon Soul Generals, he could only set up a large array with eighteen array cores, significantly reducing the array’s power!

Seeing Shen Mo speak like this, the Silver-haired Child and Kang Haoxiu couldn’t say much either, joining Qin Zhen, they set off with eleven Demon Soul Generals.

After everyone left, Shen Mo turned back to the bitter sea, braving the loud magical sound of Immortal Preaching, continuing to fish for various treasures.

Several days later, Shen Mo had almost fished up all the treasurable items from the bitter sea that could be retrieved.

The remaining treasures were either deep in the bitter sea, out of his reach; or just remaining junk he was uninterested in, not wanting to spend more time here!

However, Shen Mo didn’t stop there, but instead stared intently at the "Disciple of the Immortal" on the auspicious clouds.

On the auspicious clouds, there stood a total of eight thousand seven hundred twenty-three figures, consisting of cultivators, evil cultivators, fierce beasts, demons, and spiritual monsters... They were all once pitiable individuals who fell into the bitter sea, transcending after hearing the Great Path, flying out of the bitter sea to stand under the "Immortal."

Only, these "Disciple of the Immortal," even including thirteen "Immortals" on the Ninth Heaven, were still essentially part of the Evil Spirit, not truly transcended!

Although Shen Mo could not employ [Insight into All Beings] Destiny to discern their strength or weaknesses, the fluctuations of their aura allowed him to roughly gauge everyone’s strength realm... Most of them were Yuan Dan Realm (Fourth Order) experts, with a hundred or so Divine Bridge Realm (Fifth Stage), and twenty-six Formless Realm (Sixth Stage)!

Under [Method Eye Candle Wisp], many people shimmered with the glaring light of magical treasures; among them were five spirit lights that were exceptionally mystical, clearly spiritual treasure level artifacts or treasures of the same level.

The Silver-haired Child, Kang Haoxiu, Qin Zhen, and other strong individuals also traversing the bitter sea were not entirely ignorant of this.

However, just listening to the Preaching of "Immortal" could make a Formless Realm Immortal Master fall; who would dare to act against the "Disciple of the Immortal" on the auspicious clouds, fearing they would die too quickly and miserably?

But to Shen Mo, it was worth a shot.

First, he possessed [Chanjue] Destiny, sensitive enough to perceive crisis in advance, allowing him to avoid the most fatal risks;

Secondly, he had countless formidable and unpredictable means for preserving life, capable of offense, defense, and escape!

As long as he didn’t trigger the questioning of "Immortal," fall into the bitter sea, or be distorted by the chaotic teachings to twist his understanding and enlightenment of the Great Path, even if these "Disciple of the Immortal" personally made a move, he had a certain resistance.

At worst, he could directly invoke [Reverse Yin and Yang] Skill to relocate his real body back to Jade Spring Mountain at any time.

After all, Shen Mo also did not think well of the subsequent descent into the Immortal Mansion searching for relics of Immortal Master Ciji and others, not to mention the oddities on the Silver-haired Child that truly made him uneasy; at this moment, he just needed to snatch away one spiritual treasure from the "Disciple of the Immortal" for his move here not to be in vain!

Thinking this, Shen Mo quickly took action.

First, he operated "All-Encompassing Sword Canon," transforming Demon Slaying Sword into a streak of Starfall Sword Light, slashing it directly, and released it thousands of miles away, then with a thought, transforming into a Three-headed Six-armed form, raised the Green Cloud Umbrella, ignited the Crystal Brahma Flame, and laid down a Palm barrier...

After making preparations, Shen Mo morphed into a colorful sinister aura hand, reaching out to grab a "Disciple of the Immortal" on the clouds.

He targeted this person, a pot-belly, wealthy merchant-dressed short, fat middle-aged man, one of the five mystical lights was around his waist; moreover, he was the only one among the owners of five extraordinary treasures who wasn’t at Formless Realm, only approximately later-stage Divine Bridge Realm!

This was Shen Mo’s first strike, and possibly his last; this short, fat merchant was undoubtedly the best target.

As the Demonic Grabbing Hand lunged towards the short, fat merchant, he simply glared angrily at Shen Mo without any other action; however, as the sinister aura hand reached within one zhang of him, it was like he received a command, his body surged with an electric patterned Protective Spirit Energy, and from his palm burst terrifying thunder light, striking at the sinister aura hand and encompassing Shen Mo!

However, Shen Mo’s action was distinctly quicker than his by a moment.

Before his Protective Spirit Energy emerged, numerous Pure Yang Fire began to ignite from his body;

Also with the [Uncommon Victory] force added, the Demon Slaying Sword Qi with sacrificial intent swept clean the grand thunder light arcs, crushed his Protective Spirit Energy, and straightaway slashed into his forehead!

In a blink, the Demonic Grabbing Hand snatched the treasure from his waist.

Shen Mo hadn’t had a chance to look closely when the following Fairyland Sword Qi flashed by, claiming the extraordinary treasure into the Sword Zone.

Right then, the remaining eight thousand seven hundred and twenty-two figures all looked towards Shen Mo, amidst waves of chilling, continuous laughter, thousands of fearsome assaults including spiritual treasures, magic arts, skills, talismans, pouring down on him!
