Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 590 - 24 After walking for quite some time, I became hungry

Chapter 590: Chapter 24 After walking for quite some time, I became hungry

The Cultivation World of later generations.

Li Mo sat within Da Hua Taoist’s Spiritual Treasure, traversing the endless Jianmu trees.

He could sense nearly ten thousand Creation Sect cultivators’ auras disappearing inexplicably; unsurprisingly, they must have utilized the Word-to-law ability to travel back to ancient times.

A few years before arriving in ancient times, Li Mo had continuously paid attention to Leiyin Temple.

Did Leiyin Temple ascend with the No-Life Mother?

Yes.

But only survivors who managed to escape after the No-Life Mother sated her hunger.

Li Mo had already given advance advice to Tian Changwen. With the latter’s tactical mind and scheming methods, he could promptly devise strategies to evade dangers.

If successful, Creation Sect might finally establish foundational standing in the Immortal Realm.

Li Mo glanced at the deep and endless void sprawling before him.

If everything went smoothly, Tian Changwen should already be in the Upper Realm’s Buddhist Sect territory by now. Who knows if they’ve achieved True Immortal status?

Li Mo smirked bitterly and shook his head. The exact state of the Immortal Realm remained unknown.

"Hurry up and ascend to the Immortal Realm. I need to uncover the dynamics surrounding the No-Life Mother to initiate the fourth stage of the plan..."

His thoughts were storming, and the cultivators surrounding him dared not intrude.

Da Hua Taoist’s expression was complex.

She had certainly encountered Li Mo before, but his distinct aura today was far more terrifying than previously.

Da Hua Taoist silently speculated, could this iteration of Li Mo, one of the Thirteen Immortals, actually be a puppet body of the No-Life Mother?

"Master Ancestor Da Hua, it won’t be long before we reach the Ancestor Court."

Fan Hua spoke, breaking the silence.

In the endless void ahead, a floating island gradually came into view. Compared to the bleak and barren descriptions in ancient texts, its lush greenery was eye-catching even with the naked eye, instantly uplifting their morale.

"Stay vigilant."

Da Hua Taoist snapped back to reality and exchanged a few concise words with Fan Hua. The speed of the Spiritual Treasure slightly decreased to avoid triggering unnecessary trouble.

"Master, we’ve progressed relatively smoothly. Should we wait for the other junior sisters to catch up?"

Twelve Jianmu trees had already pierced into the tape of the Ancestor Court—their towering trunks completely devoid of foliage, clearly visible even from a distance by Body Integration Realm cultivators.

Other Spiritual Treasures clung to these tree trunks, with Zu Xiuyun and her entourage trailing significantly behind in pace.

"Da Hua, the decision rests with you. I’ll temporarily leave the Spiritual Treasure."

Li Mo retracted the Immortal Suppressing Coffin and stood to stretch his limbs.

"Master, this is the endless void outside! Even True Immortals struggle to endure this environment; if one accidentally gets swept into it..."

Before Da Hua Taoist could finish her words, Li Mo was already nowhere to be seen.

She let out a helpless sigh and transmitted her thoughts to Zu Xiuyun, whose reaction was indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about Li Mo being endangered by the endless void.

As soon as Li Mo stepped out of the Spiritual Treasure’s protection, peculiar energies surged into his body.

His flesh, blood, and bones emitted groaning noises as they began steadily aging amid the harsh surroundings of the void.

The Three Immortal Body activated simultaneously, transforming his Five Internal Organs and Six Viscera.

Li Mo stumbled briefly before gradually steadying his steps, striding on the Jianmu tree trunks with the ease of walking on flat ground—an unimaginable feat for anyone in such an environment.

His gaze fixated on Zhang Qiyang and several others aboard the massive Sword Shuttle nearby.

Though the Sword Shuttle was dilapidated, it was barely capable of reaching the Ancestor Court. Yet, something peculiar about it caught Li Mo’s attention.

"Something from the Returning Ruins is hiding within the Sword Shuttle..."

Li Mo tensed his legs, launched himself upward, and left the Jianmu’s trunk, overwhelmed by the indescribable weightlessness gripping his mind.

The void’s corrosion intensified as time passed, hampering one’s ability to move.

Under the protection of the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, Li Mo regained his senses within mere breaths.

"What a pity. The Longevity Stage Death Disease didn’t take the opportunity to invade my body and soul. I had hoped to use the endless void to lure it out."

He touched down on the Jianmu’s surface; the surrounding cultivators exchanged perplexed glances, astonished that someone traversed the void with their mortal body. Such endeavors typically required one to be a True Immortal at minimum.

Before setting out, Li Mo hadn’t even reached the Tribulation Crossing stage.

Yet now, so little time had passed, and he’d already achieved Immortal status?

No, that couldn’t be right.

The cultivators quickly realized that Li Mo’s sudden advancement was likely tied to the miraculous properties of his Immortal Body, as ascending to a True Immortal in such a short window was implausible.

Some, like Ninth Senior Sister Ruo Shui, recognized that it wasn’t solely attributable to the Immortal Body. Examining him closely, she discerned that his Immortal Body primarily served auxiliary purposes. Yet, astonishingly, Li Mo refrained from utilizing a Protective Spirit Shield, relying solely on his fleshly strength and resilience.

"The No-Life Mother? Li Mo? What connection could they possibly have..."

Within the massive Sword Shuttle, dead silence reigned, unbeknownst to its passengers that they had become everyone’s target of interest.

Zhang Qiyang and his group were utterly focused on maintaining the Sword Shuttle, terrified that any destabilization of its Arrays might render them stranded in the endless void.

Suddenly, from within their shadows, eyes emerged.

The shadowy eyes furtively scanned the surroundings, their gaze landing outside the Sword Shuttle with palpable dread. It seemed to sense the suffocating oppression emanating from Li Mo’s approach.

Crackling sounds filled the air.

Grotesque noises arose.

Zhang Qiyang and his group were paralyzed by fear, realizing that a deceitful object had invaded their Sword Shuttle.

Without warning, Li Mo had vanished moments ago, and now, should the Sword Shuttle sustain damage, they’d likely perish in the void.

"I’ll deal with the deceitful object. You all stabilize the Sword Shuttle; don’t let it falter."

Five Heads Taoist decisively relinquished the Arrays and stepped forward.

The four heads beneath his main neck clenched and bit into the primary head, radically amplifying his Five Senses.

The profound intrigue of the Immortal Creation Body left even the Tribulation Crossing-stage Five Heads Taoist in awe, turning him into an ardent advocate of the Immortal Creation Technique.

"Seek."

Four pairs of eyes exploded simultaneously, with heightened acuity granted to the primary head’s vision, briefly rivaling the prowess of Immortal Bone.

"Found you!"

He unleashed a nail-shaped Magic Treasure aimed at the shadows lurking in a corner, only for the deceitful object to disappear instantaneously. In the next moment, a cry of alarm erupted from Ye Zhuo Daoist.

"Something’s wrong!"

Five Heads Taoist moved to pursue the deceitful object, as his mastery of Creation Sect techniques assured that his spells wouldn’t inadvertently harm the Sword Shuttle.

But the Arrays shattered abruptly; Ye Zhuo Daoist evidently lacked the capacity to maintain them further.

Five Heads Taoist had no alternative but to mend the Array’s rupture.

At that moment, a heavy thud resounded outside the Sword Shuttle, followed by the agonizing screams of the deceitful object, leaving Five Heads Taoist dumbfounded.

"Ye Zhuo, you..."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"But—believe me—you’ll never guess what I just witnessed."

Staggered, Ye Zhuo Daoist stuttered in utter disbelief. "Li Mo—Li Mo’s striding through the endless void!"

"What the hell?"

Five Heads Taoist’s jaw slackened, and he unleashed Divine Sense to survey outside the Sword Shuttle.

And there he saw—a familiar silhouette. Li Mo was pounding on the shadowed surface of the Sword Shuttle, sparks flying.

A sinister chuckle rang out.

Li Mo yanked forcefully, dragging out a human-faced koi from the darkness.

"Immortal."

The koi fish spat human speech, frantically attempting to free itself from Li Mo’s grip. But it found itself increasingly powerless, its scales cracking under the mounting strain.

"Die, damn you!"

Li Mo wrenched fiercely, tearing the koi into two.

Five Heads Taoist shivered to his core.

The koi fish, originating from the Returning Ruins, had reached the Tribulation Crossing stage. Yet, upon encountering Li Mo, it lasted less than a single exchange. What sort of monstrous physical body was this?

Though not wholly obliterated, under the Word-to-law ability, the deceitful object began regenerating its flesh.

"Undying, unperishable—the deceitful objects amidst the world’s upheavals are always the same ilk."

Li Mo refrained from absorbing it into his Artifact Pill Body, unwilling to interact further with the Word-to-law. Besides, nourishment from a Tribulation Crossing deceitful entity was negligible at best.

His leg muscles swelled dramatically, followed by a dozen arms sprouting from his ribs.

"Begone!"

Boom.

Li Mo hurled the koi remains with tremendous force; the burst left only fading shadows behind, and the Gang Wind stirred enough to tremble Jianmu’s trunk slightly.

"Don’t recognize me anymore?"

The cultivators fell into silence. Although Li Mo had vanished not long ago, his return revealed he had already achieved True Immortal status.

"I lack time for pleasantries. The Ancestor Court awaits urgently."

During the brief delay, the Twelve Immortals had begun entering the Ancestor Court, and Li Mo sensed the presence of an Incense Fire Immortal amidst them.

Zu Xiuyun transmitted thoughts into Li Mo’s consciousness, conveying peculiar warnings about the Ancestor Court.

"Heh."

Li Mo grasped the massive Sword Shuttle, hoisting the incomparably heavy Spiritual Treasure merely with his physical might.

Holding nothing back, he strode rapidly, each step spanning a kilometer, his roused vitality roasting the Sword Shuttle as though it sat in flames.

"Undoubtedly, that’s the Li Mo we know."

Ye Zhuo Daoist’s lips twitched; such brazen conduct defined Li Mo’s character.

After gauging the distance, Li Mo’s stature expanded to over a hundred meters—his Buddha Demon Body merging seamlessly with his flesh, amplifying his strength several dozen times over.

"Go!"

The flung Sword Shuttle pierced through the air.

Li Mo landed lightly on its bow, taking an exceedingly crude approach to steering the massive shuttle straight towards the Jianmu’s gateway.

......

Inside the Ancestor Court.

The surroundings brimmed with boundless green vitality, brimming with numerous grass and wood cultivators.

Zu Xiuyun and her group progressed into the labyrinth of the Ancestor Court without resistance; the small world seemed to subtly aid their passage forward.

As nearly a hundred Land Immortals tread deeper into the Ancestor Court, immense footsteps resounded, and the towering figure of three to four thousand meters stooped closer.

"Fellow Daoists, I welcome you. I am Jing Shen, an Upper Realm Immortal."

The mountain-shaped being resembling a vast brain nodded in greeting as if it had awaited them for millennia, its expression betraying a forced cordiality.

"Where is Kong Yong?"

Zu Xiuyun abruptly questioned, her tone blunt, alarming the surrounding cultivators.

Jing Shen laughed heartily. "I can see you are bound for the Immortal Realm. Perhaps I can grant you some warnings to sharpen your vigilance."

"Where is Kong Yong?"

"I am unfamiliar with this Kong Yong you speak of. Could he be one of the Immortal Gods?"

"Where is Kong Yong?"

Zu Xiuyun’s unyielding inquiry persisted, unnerving the gathered cultivators who dared not move rashly. Before them stood a veritable Immortal.

Jing Shen’s face darkened into a grim smile. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Oh, you little brat—hardheaded and unwise, aren’t you? Do you truly believe this Little Immortal Realm is some Secret Realm you can come and go from at will?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth quaked as seven or eight Incense Fire Immortals approached them.

The Twelve Immortals were unfazed.

But the other cultivators couldn’t help sow seeds of doubt—why would the Ancestor Court amass so many Immortals here? Additionally, how had these Immortals managed to evade mutation and remain untainted?

Incense Fire Immortals, frequently meddling with mortals during earthly upheavals, should have been deeply affected.

Jing Shen scrutinized the crowd and, assured of no immediate threats, spoke, "Kong Yong? He claimed to have been dispatched here by an Immortal."

"An Immortal? Which Immortal?"

"He tricked us for nearly ten thousand years; I’ll make sure to flay him alive!"

Jing Shen’s flesh began spiraling out of control, tendrils sprouting from his mountainous crevices as grass and wood cultivators instinctively retreated from the presence of the Incense Fire Immortals.

"The bodies of grass and wood spirits are far too lacking. I’ll possess you all instead!!!"

Bang!!!

The ground convulsed violently.

The massive Sword Shuttle upheaved through the soil as Li Mo landed, pristine and unsoiled.

"Kong Yong must be quite generous, sending out a banquet of ingredients just to welcome me."
