The Heavenly Lord killed all the immortals
Chapter 520: Celestial Venerable Slaughters Myriad Immortals
Not knowing what he had discovered, he actually took Senior Sister Zhao's drop of blood out of the isolated space without authorization and examined it closely from nearby.
"Sect Leader, you!" Senior Sister Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"No harm done!" A layer of black light emerged around Ji Changxi, wrapping himself tightly.
Senior Sister Zhao instantly recognized that was the unique divine light manifested by the Divine Ability [Grand Dao of Sole Self] within the Scripture of the Great Dao of Executing Heaven.
In front of this Divine Ability, all heterogeneous energies would be converted into existences that could be controlled by oneself.
She had also practiced this divine technique briefly before! But right now…
Lowering her head, Senior Sister Zhao carefully concealed the ambition and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Fortunately, the Seniors of the Great Dao Sect present had all their attention focused on the constantly churning drop of blood in Ji Changxi's hand, and it seemed no one noticed the abnormality on her body.
On Sect Leader Ji's body, black light continuously emerged, surrounding the drop of blood.
While the black radiance churned unceasingly, the drop of blood was constantly being consumed.
However, before Ji Changxi could analyze anything out of it, a crisp cough suddenly sounded beside him.
A trace of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
And this was only the beginning.
As if triggering some kind of chain reaction, soon, one after another, uncontrolled coughs resounded throughout this elite-gathered Sect grand hall.
"How is this possible?!" After personally experiencing the severity of this unknown disease, the Elders' expressions changed drastically one after another.
"Interesting, interesting…"
"Wait, this seems to be…"
However, those present were, after all, the elite among the elites left behind in the Xuanhuang Cultivation World for thousands of years.
Soon, they each used various methods to suppress the abnormality in their bodies.
Moreover, some of them even began studying it on the spot with great interest.
Seeing the Elders behave this way, both Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao glanced at each other, feeling slightly more at ease in their hearts.
"Both its transmissibility and pathogenicity are extremely terrifying. It is truly something seen only once in a lifetime! I'm afraid even the [Immortal-Terminating Edict] released by the Xuantian Sect in their desperate final struggle back then is inferior to it," a white-haired old man slowly said.
Li Fan only knew that this person was named Mo Ziran, one of the Elders of the Great Dao Sect, proficient in the Dao of pharmacology. He kept to himself and did not meddle in the Sect's miscellaneous affairs. However, it was rumored that the Medicinal Pills he refined were of extremely high quality. Even with the previously swallowed Fortune Purple Golden Pill, this person could refine a flawed product with seventy to eighty percent efficacy using his Dao Integration cultivation.
Mo Ziran initiated the conversation, and the other Elders immediately spoke freely as well, sharing their own views.
"This disease, one is all. As long as one comes into contact with it, it will spontaneously grow within the Cultivator's body. Mild cases are still fine, but if it cannot be suppressed in time and transforms into severe cases…"
"At best, one's cultivation regresses, and at worst, body and Dao perish!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present gradually became somewhat solemn.
"I just tried more than a dozen methods; although they can quickly eliminate the symptoms it brings, the power of Origin causing this disease seems to have never truly dissipated, still deeply hidden within the body. What on earth is its parasitic medium? How bizarre and strange…"
"Old fellows like us have decent cultivation and can easily suppress the symptoms. But what about those Disciples within the Sect? If there are no Medicinal Pills to save them, I'm afraid…"
"First incompatible cultivation methods, and then this bizarre and strange disease…"
"The immortal path is severed, the future is bleak! Better to return home, better to return home!"
"Lei Fanzi, with juniors present, what are you talking nonsense about again?"
…
The dignified Sect grand hall, the most solemn and serious place, had now become as noisy as a vegetable market, endlessly clamoring.
Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao only lowered their heads, not daring to reveal the slightest abnormality.
"Everyone!"
At this very moment, a voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
The scene instantly quieted down.
"I have an idea," Great Dao Sect Sect Leader Ji Changxi said with a solemn expression.
"Presumably some people have already discovered that this so-called strange disease is so hard to guard against entirely because it is also one of the newly born Laws between heaven and earth."
"Namely, the principles of heaven and earth. Moreover, unlike incompatible cultivation methods."
"It was done by a Cultivator!"
Their voices like rolling thunder, Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao abruptly raised their heads, staring at Ji Changxi as towering waves instantly surged in their minds.
Done by a Cultivator?
Defying the principles of heaven and earth?
You must know that ever since the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission attained longevity and only the New Law could be cultivated between heaven and earth,
although a large number of Dao Integration Cultivators had emerged in the world, not a single person had been able to defy the principles of heaven and earth and achieve a Breakthrough to the Longevity Realm.
Among the Ten Immortal Sects, there were countless heroes and talents.
After decades of attempts, still not a single so-called Prodigy succeeded.
It was evident how difficult it was to defy the principles of heaven and earth!
However, according to Sect Leader Ji's statement now, a Cultivator had actually quietly and successfully attained the Dao of longevity?
Who on earth was it?
Although the Ten Immortal Sects harbored their own sinister motives, they still kept each other informed of news. For such a major event as a Disciple achieving a Breakthrough to the Longevity Realm, even if there was no prior notice, once successfully promoted, they would definitely send a message to inform all Sects.
Furthermore, this newly promoted Celestial Venerable of Longevity seemed to be defying "epidemics being unable to harm Immortal Cultivators".
This approach of nearly making an enemy of all Cultivators was definitely not the handiwork of Cultivators from the Ten Immortal Sects.
How could there be any reason to dig one's own grave?
Therefore, what kind of person was it that advancing to the Longevity Realm themselves wasn't enough, they also wanted to slaughter all Cultivators in the world?
This was a blatant provocation and declaration of war.
It was not just Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao.
In the eyes of the various Elders and Ji Changxi inside the grand hall, wisps of Killing Intent surged forth, hard to suppress.
"Investigate! We must investigate it thoroughly!"
"Even if this person is the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, such behavior is unforgivable!"
"I will immediately meet with other leaders of the immortal Sects to pass on this news. As for the Myriad Immortals Alliance…" Ji Changxi paused.
"Send someone to inform them of this matter as well to sound out their stance."
"With all the top-tier forces of the entire Xuanhuang World uniting together, I refuse to believe we can't let this fellow remain at large!"
"While tracking down the mastermind, we must also pay attention to protecting against this disease. Starting today, the Medicine Hall will operate at full capacity, ensuring an adequate supply of Medicinal Pills within our Great Dao Sect."
"As for outside the Great Dao Sect…"
Ji Changxi hesitated slightly for a moment.
"After multiple tribulations, our Great Dao Sect has also suffered heavy losses. We probably lack the strength even to protect ourselves…"
"Let them fend for themselves."
The various Elders all nodded slightly, having no objections to Sect Leader Ji's decision.
"I will also try to see if I can find a method to alleviate the symptoms of this strange disease," a trace of desire surged in Mo Ziran's eyes.
"If we can completely dismantle its harm to Cultivators, it will be equivalent to defying the principles of heaven and earth once more."
"If so, perhaps my longevity is in sight."
He muttered to himself.
