With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 867 - 622: Out-of-Body Soul, Endless Intention, Ritual Commencement!

Chapter 867: Chapter 622: Out-of-Body Soul, Endless Intention, Ritual Commencement!

Drifting towards Yong’an Martial Arts University, with his current level of control, he could already feel the chill accumulating on his soul.

As the [Descending Technique] continued to operate, it would likely reach a point where the soul had to return.

Meng Chuan gathered his mind’s power, sat cross-legged, and remotely maneuvered his soul to float into Yong’an Martial Arts University.

Time was limited; first, take care of business.

The operation begins!

...

Meanwhile, far away in Taihang, Jin Land.

Unlike the festive atmosphere of New Year in San Qin’s Yong’an, the winds here carried a murderous intent.

In the sky, starlight flowed, and the dark night floated up and down.

The bright moonlight flashed by, and a shadowy figure waved an arm, cloaking the night.

Halfway up Tianshan Mountain, a few people stood in the air as if on solid ground, their postures extraordinary.

They were precisely the four Taoist Monarchs of Wudang.

Around the four, the void manifested into a sea of stars, vast and magnificent.

The bright moon reappeared, and the four immediately vanished from their original spots.

Encircling the mountainside, they stood with the Four Symbols Mystical Rhythm Formation, setting up the array.

Taoist Monarch Chentuan held the [True Martial Scripture], standing in the "East Palace of Ziwei East Corner."

Taoist Monarch Zhang Jingshi wielded the [Black Charge Horn Broken Demon Heroic Sword], defending the "Listening Wave Terrace West Cliff."

Taoist Monarch Zhang Ziyu held the [Black Hawk Banner], occupying the "Alchemy Peak South Rock."

Taoist Monarch Cheng Miaochang carried the [True Martial Seal], securing the "Northern Xuanwu Altar."

The four Taoist Monarchs wielded True Martial Magic Artifacts, stabilizing the nine altar foundations.

Purifying the field with Divine Communication, calibrating the star positions and saving mystical energy for endurance.

This was the final preparation for opening the Grand Celestial Ritual Altar of Daoism.

Meanwhile, below the mountain, figures moved in unison, carving Dao patterns onto stone slabs to pave the hundred-zhang wide altar.

The Fifth Heavenly Limit True Monarchs of the Daoist sect, holding magic artifacts, positioned themselves on both sides.

Further away, the government and United University stood ready in formation.

The Buddhist sect had other arrangements and was not on the Mystical Altar.

Yet here, one could still faintly hear the chanting, as the Tao and Buddhist harmonies drifted over the Taihang Mountain foothills.

In the distance, a mass of shadows gathered along the mountain path, all soaring talents of flight and evasion, yet terrifyingly aligned like soldiers in an army.

The officials, military, and Martial Arts University of Great Chu.

Almost ninety percent of the Martial Arts Grandmasters in the country had gathered!

At a glance, there were nearly ten thousand!

This was the true foundation of Great Chu, with each rarely seen Fourth Heavenly Limit expert standing straight like pine trees, their vigorous energy blending with the Qi Blood to the sky, surging upwards.

The Demon Path, seeing this scene, would be utterly terrified.

The Grandmasters of Great Chu stood solemnly.

With the sound of a military whistle.

Nearly ten thousand Grandmasters converged like rivers returning to the sea, each finding their position.

The spacing between them was at least three zhang, at most ten zhang.

Their bodies served as earth poles, subtly aligning with the Yin-Yang Five Elements and the landscape of the Mystic Heavenly Rivers and Mountains.

The formation divided into nine palaces, guided by the Big Dipper.

In the east, south, west, and north, each stood a guarding Celestial King, their auras deep and imposing as abysses.

Lu Ang, guarding the north, had the [Nine-Ring Dragon-Slaying Divine Saber] slung over his shoulder, surrounded by nine-colored mystical glow, revealing a gigantic bear shadow.

In the center, a ten-zhang high platform was left empty, filled with the Martial Saint’s aura, yet no light mass was visible.

No one spoke, only the rustling of robes sounded, like the low hum of thousands of banners.

A sudden wind arose, sweeping sand without raising dust.

It was an abnormal phenomenon caused by everyone’s breathing.

They were waiting for a chance, or perhaps a command...

...

Under the same sky.

Deep within the Demon Nest!

A shadow in a black robe sat high on the platform, surrounded by countless prostrating demon shadows.

"Not good!"

The little demon responsible for surveillance hurried over.

From afar, it prostrated at the shadow’s feet, a buzzing in its ears.

"Divine Master, the mortals outside seem to have formed an array, truly intending to launch an attack on us tonight!"

As the words fell, the entire crowd of demons was in uproar, whispering:

"It’s insane, are these humans crazy? We didn’t go out looking for them, so how dare they come up the mountain to attack us?"

Some had left the territory to hunt in the human world outside.

They knew that the places where humans referred to the Mountain Range Divine Master’s bases were considered untouchable [Ultimate Darkness].

"My demon heart keeps trembling, feeling something ominous..."

A demon expressed concern:

"Humans are cunning; could they have come prepared?"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Midway through the sentence, a massive creature like a human bear stood up.

A tremendous roar burst in the ears of all the chattering demon shadows, and the demons immediately fell silent, not daring to speak further.

Seeing no reaction from the Divine Master, the Big Buddha Head in front of them turned its gaze below and sneered:

"It’s just the struggle of defeated dogs. The strongest of humans is but seventh-tier, with what do they fight the Divine Master?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

On the other side, a black shadow burning with black flames like a phoenix chimed in:

"Stay calm! This world has no gods; you are all the elite of the cosmos expedition. You came here for achievements, to seek opportunities to become powerful, even the chance to become gods.

Now, the opportunity lies right in front of you. The heads of these people across the mountain are your spiritual resources and the merits for becoming gods!"

"The lord is right, we have witnessed firsthand the frailty of humans! We came all this way for this very day, didn’t we?"

"Assemble! Assemble!"

"Roar, roar, roar, roar~!"

"Kill, kill, kill! First eat the women and children!"

The twisted black shadow lit up the cave walls, as countless demon shadows surged with torrential black air, intertwining and forming a tsunami.

At the signal from the Divine Master, three Celestial Demon Generals immediately stepped forward, heading toward the entrance of the Demon Nest.

"Call forth your respective offspring, and let us achieve greatness together!"

Faced with a human sneak attack, although there was surprise inside the Demon Nest.

They managed to maintain composure under the words of the three demons.

In an instant, the other celestial demon commanders within the cave communicated with their respective followers.

Like a tide, they emerged from all parts of the Demon Nest, pouring out, chasing after the three Celestial Demon Generals.

A moment later, within the abyss clothed in black crystal, only the shadow in a black robe remained.

If Meng Chuan were here, he would see.

It was so similar to the figure he had seen when he killed Yan Huan and invaded his sea of consciousness.

The Mountain Range Divine Master lifted the hood, revealing a face of chaotic colors.

There were no features, only flowing, wavering void like ripples of water.
