Chapter 271 Long Yuanguang Retreats
Looking at Wanshan Immortal King in the distance, Long Yuanguang felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.
There was no other way.
He truly couldn't defeat him.
Due to the suddenness of the matter, he hadn't summoned the other Great Luo Immortal Kings within the Sect.
Although the Great Luo Immortal Kings of the Divine Beast Sect, adding Long Yuanguang himself, totaled as many as five people.
If the Sect-protecting Divine Beast was included, there would be six Great Luo Immortal Kings.
However, these Great Luo Immortal Kings were either guarding various places separately,
or had gone to other distant immortal domains to seek friends and ask about the Dao.
To be honest.
Long Yuanguang couldn't find a suitable helper for a moment.
Originally, he also planned to take this fated opportunity to weaken the strength of Myriad Immortals Gate and Chaotian Palace.
Now it seemed there was probably no chance.
With Wanshan Immortal King present, not only did his plans fall through, but even his son essentially died in vain.
Oh, that's not right.
Long Aotian wasn't dead yet.
For now, he could only be considered missing.
After all, Long Aotian's soul lamp was still lit right now.
However, failing to return from the Taixu Secret Realm in time was actually no different from being dead.
Thinking about how his plans had fallen through, Long Yuanguang felt incomparably depressed in his heart.
He said to Wanshan Immortal King through gritted teeth,
"Wanshan, do you want to provoke a war between the three major Sects?"
Wanshan Immortal King didn't even think about it, instead responding indifferently,
"Brother Long is overthinking it; I simply hope that you won't interfere in the matters between the juniors."
Long Yuanguang said resentfully,
"My son is dead."
Wanshan Immortal King looked up at the sky, and after a good while, slowly responded,
"Who in this world cannot die? Brother Long, please restrain your grief."
Seeing Wanshan Immortal King's impervious demeanor, Long Yuanguang was utterly speechless.
It wasn't that he was clumsy with words.
In fact.
Long Yuanguang considered himself to be quite eloquent.
Yet this time, he truly was in the wrong.
Therefore, even when arguing with words, he couldn't win at all.
The three major forces had an agreement long ago.
After entering the Taixu Secret Realm, life and death were up to fate, and afterwards no one could pursue the matter.
For so many years.
The Taixu Secret Realm had also been opened countless times, and quite a few people had died inside.
Among them, many people were killed by Cultivators from other Sects.
But afterwards, everyone didn't say anything.
During such Secret Realm operations, anyone dying inside was a possibility.
If one really wanted to pursue the matter seriously,
then everyone might as well stop opening the Secret Realm altogether.
Looking at Wanshan Immortal King in the distance, Long Yuanguang was extremely unwilling to accept this.
He spoke up again,
"What if I insist on going over?"
Wanshan Immortal King responded indifferently,
"If you can defeat me, go wherever you please."
"Fine, then let us settle this with our true strength."
Long Yuanguang was completely enraged.
Even if he couldn't win, he still had to fight a battle with Wanshan Immortal King first.
Otherwise,
if he retreated directly like this, his anger would never subside.
Thinking of this,
Long Yuanguang waved his right hand.
A black spear, carrying awe-inspiring might, streaked across the endless sky and lunged straight at Wanshan Immortal King in the distance.
Top-grade Immortal Artifact, Dragon World Extinguishing Spear.
Rumor has it that this Dragon World Extinguishing Spear was refined from the corpse of a Venerable-level Chaos Beast, combined with other precious materials.
It possessed extremely powerful destructive force.
It was the treasure of the Sect of the Divine Beast Sect.
Wanshan Immortal King stood in the distance, watching the black spear lunge straight towards him.
The expression on his face showed no fluctuation at all.
He stood in place and directly threw a punch.
The golden fist shadow shattered the the void, striking the black spear without any fancy tricks.
Boom...
The fist shadow and the spear collided solidly together, producing a heaven-shaking loud noise.
The surrounding the void was shaken out with tiny cracks, like a shattered mirror.
The Dragon World Extinguishing Spear quickly flew backward, and the spiritual light on the body of the spear seemed to dim by a few shades.
After throwing that punch, Wanshan Immortal King still stood in place, his expression incomparably calm.
Long Yuanguang reached out with a wave and put away the Dragon World Extinguishing Spear.
He asked with a gloomy expression,
"Have you already reached Perfection in your Immortal Body?"
Wanshan Immortal King neither unleashed any Divine Ability nor used an Immortal Artifact.
Relying solely on the power of his physical body, he shook back the Dragon World Extinguishing Spear.
To be able to take a top-grade Immortal Artifact head-on,
then without a doubt,
Wanshan Immortal King must have already cultivated his Immortal Body to the realm of Perfection.
This shocked Long Yuanguang immensely.
The further one progressed in cultivating the Immortal Body, the harder it became.
To be precise,
if there was no special fated opportunity, almost no one could cultivation the Immortal Body to the realm of Perfection.
Long Yuanguang never expected that Wanshan Immortal King,
had actually quietly cultivated his Immortal Body to the realm of Perfection at some unknown time.
What a profound fated opportunity indeed.
Thinking of this, Long Yuanguang felt somewhat jealous.
You must know,
compared to himself, Wanshan Immortal King could only be considered a junior who came up later.
He had cultivated for a much longer time than Wanshan Immortal King.
Yet up until now, he still hadn't been able to cultivation his Immortal Body to the realm of Perfection.
Unexpectedly, Wanshan Immortal King had taken a step ahead.
Originally, his strength was inferior to Wanshan Immortal King's, and now he could fight him even less.
More importantly,
Immortal Body Perfection was a crucial step for a Zenith Heaven Immortal to advance to a Dao Ancestor.
If a Zenith Heaven Immortal wanted to advance to a Dao Ancestor, the first step was to elevate their cultivation base to the realm of Perfection.
Then, the Immortal Body and the Law also needed to be cultivated to Perfection.
Finally, it was to master a Dao Art.
If all these four aspects were fully prepared, then one could set about attempting to break through to the realm of Dao Ancestor.
Long Yuanguang had cultivated for countless years, and currently he had only taken two steps.
He had only elevated his cultivation base and the Law to the realm of Perfection.
His Immortal Body still remained at the realm of Great Mastery, and had been so for countless years.
As for mastering a Dao Art, that was even less of something to think about.
Before opening the Origin of the Great Dao, all of this was empty talk.
However, Wanshan Immortal King had already taken three steps.
As long as he found an Origin Item and then figured out a way to cultivation a Dao Art,
then he would have the possibility of advancing to the realm of Dao Ancestor at some time in the future.
Of course,
this was only a theoretical possibility.
The realm of Dao Ancestor was not that easy to break through.
But at least Wanshan Immortal King was currently one step ahead of him.
This made Long Yuanguang extremely fearful.
Wanshan Immortal King responded indifferently,
"It was merely a fluke success. Does Brother Long still want to fight?"
After shaking back the Dragon World Extinguishing Spear with a single punch, he did not press his advantage to pursue.
Being of the same Great Luo Immortal Perfection, Long Yuanguang wasn't that easy to kill.
Even if he exerted his full strength, he estimated he still couldn't kill him.
At most, he would grab Long Yuanguang and give him a fierce beating.
It was completely meaningless.
Since he couldn't kill the other party,
Wanshan Immortal King didn't want to waste his energy in vain anymore either.
In case both sides got enraged and truly ignited a war between the three major Sects, that wouldn't be very good.
And there was completely no need for it.
Anyway, his objective this time was simply to drive Long Yuanguang back.
"Hmph."
Long Yuanguang let out a cold snort, then turned around and left.
He completely couldn't defeat him.
Originally, his strength was already a notch weaker than Wanshan Immortal King's.
Now that the other party had cultivated their Immortal Body to the realm of Perfection, he could defeat him even less.
Since that was the case, why remain here?
Staying here to make a fool of oneself?
Thinking of this, Long Yuanguang felt immensely depressed.
Without saying a single word, he directly turned around and left.
Not only that,
Long Yuanguang even forgot to notify the Wu Brothers and let them hurry back.
