First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 238: Lesson

Since a hundred years ago, the demons from beyond the domain broke through.

The structure of the cultivation world has undergone drastic changes!

Within the Linjiang Sect, the elites who emerged from the mortal world have risen to power.

Combined with the heavy losses suffered by the aristocratic immortal clans, their ability to reproduce cannot compare to the billions of common people.

Therefore, in those years, the new forces surpassed the aristocratic immortal clans!

However, after nearly a hundred years of development.

These new forces have also married and had children, propagating their descendants...

Gradually, they have transformed into a new immortal clan.

For twenty years of peace, the Linjiang Sect has become a situation where immortal clans and aristocratic families coexist.

And now, a demonic calamity has arisen!

Newly rising geniuses like Shen Mo, who have no immortal clan backing them, naturally become the targets of vigilance and suppression by the aristocratic immortal clans.

Either they can't handle the pressure and become insignificant, becoming cannon fodder in the demonic calamity.

Or they rise up with the wind, sweeping away the demonic atmosphere before them!

Then, when Shen Mo has fought for enough benefits and produced offspring, gradually evolving into a new immortal clan, they will be accepted by them.

Or rather, by that time, there will be no need to guard against or suppress him.

In addition, these two forces are not openly displayed, nor are they clearly and distinctly divided.

For example, Elder Huang Changqing of the Xingchen Peak.

He also has no immortal clan background and has gradually risen from an outer disciple to the Linghai Realm.

He has descendants, but among his descendants, there are no exceptionally talented individuals. The strongest is only at the Third Stage of Qi Gathering.

To say that he belongs to the immortal clan forces is not accurate.

But if there are disciples at the early stage of Qi Gathering who vie for benefits with his descendants, then his family becomes an immortal clan force.

Like the Peak Master of Xingchen Peak, Zhou Shili, who comes from the Zhou immortal clan.

But when he was insignificant, he was suppressed within the clan, and after gaining power, he did not take care of the Zhou family, but instead suppressed them with all his might.

He also did not have a partner and did not propagate offspring.

Therefore, in the eyes of other immortal clans and aristocratic families, he is not considered one of their own.

The relationships among them are extremely complicated.

It cannot be explained in just a few words!

At present, Shen Mo only knows that Tian Kang and Shi Xiaoqian should have received instructions from their respective clans and specifically came to trouble him.

Shen Mo does not know their true intentions, nor does he want to know!

Seeing Shen Mo's calm face without saying a word, Tian Kang sneered and pointed two fingers at his chest.

The tips of his fingers were shining, obviously using immortal techniques and martial skills!

From the sleeves of Shen Mo's robe, fine debris of spirit stones fell.

Information about Tian Kang, his weaknesses, also entered Shen Mo's sight.

After a quick scan, he immediately laughed, "A second-generation like you, where did you get the audacity to make a move against me?"

As he spoke.

He raised his hand and easily caught the two fingers that Tian Kang had stabbed at him.

"Life-Annihilating Pulse Breaking Finger, a Profound Grade superior combat technique. It seems that you haven't fully cultivated it yet!"

This technique uses two opposing forces of qi to penetrate the enemy's body and break the meridians and qi sea of cultivators.

When cultivated to perfection, with just two fingers, one can harm the enemy from a distance!

Unfortunately, Tian Kang has only cultivated this technique to a high level. He needs to be extremely close to control the two forces of qi at his fingertips.

And Shen Mo practices two major body cultivation techniques, as well as the Qinghun Robe, Hongli Inner Armor, and the Jiujie Crystal Sand Armor.

Even if he stands there and allows him to use his technique... Tian Kang can't even think about harming his meridians!

"Crack!"

With a slight force from Shen Mo, Tian Kang's finger bones were broken.

Compared to elite disciples like Li Zhong from Xingchen Peak and Wan Wu from the Tianjian Sect, this person is far inferior.

Whether it's physique, immortal techniques... or mental strength!

With his fingers broken, Tian Kang's face twitched in pain, but he still had some pride and didn't scream out.

Perhaps he didn't expect Shen Mo to easily neutralize his immortal technique.

He quickly took several steps back, forcefully straightened his fingers, and then reached for the Universe Pouch at his waist.

A flash of light, and a third-grade talisman appeared at his fingertips.

"Jianyu Talisman!"

Shen Mo narrowed his eyes, his frustration reaching its peak.

Among third-grade talismans, this talisman could be considered one with extremely powerful killing power.

This person first provoked him for no reason, and after being ridiculed, he used his techniques to harm his meridians and qi sea. Now, he even used a talisman of killing power.

Such an aggressive approach!

If Shen Mo were to tolerate him, it would go against his character and be a disgrace to his understanding of the free and easy sword intent.

Before Tian Kang could activate the talisman with spiritual power, Shen Mo's Demonslaying Sword had already slashed out.

"Boom!"

Terrifying sword energy pressed down on Tian Kang with a mighty force.

On Tian Kang's body, a jade pendant emitted a red light.

It was like a thick scab protecting him, intending to block this sword energy.

"Crack!"

The scab and the protective jade pendant shattered into pieces.

At the same time, the robe he wore under his uniform emitted a faint golden glow.

However, it was of no use.

Under the pressure of the Jianyu Talisman, Tian Kang fell to the ground like a toad, in a miserable state.

Faint traces of blood seeped from his mouth and nose.

"Shen Junior Brother, please show mercy."

Guo Zhao, who was on the side, was shocked and quickly spoke to dissuade him.

He had not personally witnessed Shen Mo's performance at the Tianshan Ceremony, and when he heard others talk about it, he thought it was an exaggeration.

But now that he saw it for himself, he realized that Shen Mo's swordsmanship had reached a level where it could threaten him.

In less than a year.

That Body Tempering disciple from before had actually grown to such a level!

Hearing Guo Zhao's words, Shen Mo nodded slightly and swung his Demonslaying Sword horizontally.

Meanwhile, another person present, Shi Xiaoqian, quickly took out a magical tool, a dark red whip covered in thorns.

Whistling, she lashed it down towards Shen Mo's head!

The whip's shadow was as fast as lightning, with sparks swirling around it, like a crimson thunderbolt.

But its power was much stronger than the lightning unleashed by Lu Ming. After all, the difference in cultivation level was evident.

Shen Mo didn't dodge or evade, and instead, he directly withstood the attack with his Nine Extremes Crystal Sand Armor.

At the same time.

The two hands hidden under his outer robe, which were concealed by his inner armor and robe, finished forming complex hand seals and settled on the final hand seal.

"The Southern Vermilion Seven Constellations, Great Hand Seal, Ghost!"

As the low chanting sound resounded.

A sheep-like phantom emerged from his chest and charged towards Shi Xiaoqian.

This star constellation hand seal, which transformed into a ghostly golden sheep, could even intimidate a peak second-stage Heavenly Demon for a moment, let alone a Qi Gathering Seventh Layer cultivator like Shi Xiaoqian.

In the blink of an eye, her body stiffened as if she had been hit by a petrification talisman.

The blood whip covered in thorns also instantly drooped down, as if it had been grabbed by a seven-inch snake.

However, this Great Hand Seal was different from petrification talismans and immobilization spells. It simultaneously affected the spirit and flesh of living beings.

It stagnated the spirit and imprisoned the flesh.

Immediately, the sword energy swept through,

Sending Tian Kang, who couldn't move on the ground, and Shi Xiaoqian, who was frozen in place, into the Lancang River.

"Plump!"

"Plump!"

Two splashes sounded.

Shen Mo's mood also became much more cheerful, clapping his hands and laughing, "Senior Brothers, remember to bring up two catties of river clams! I have spiritual stones in my hand, waiting for you to come and take them."
