There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 145: The Ceremony of Nine Generations, the Banquet of Qianyuan

There are two major events happening in Daguan Xianzhou recently.

First, the ninth generation ascends to the throne, and the sun rises high in the sky.

Second, Qianyuan comes to congratulate and intends to form a marriage alliance.

The ascension of the ninth generation will take place at the Ninth Immortal Gate, where the ritual of bathing will be performed.

The so-called bathing ritual is when the crown prince bathes himself in the Tianhe River, the river of celestial energy.

Then, the crown prince will guide the river of spiritual energy and infuse it into the territory of Xianzhou.

All cultivators who attend the ceremony will have the opportunity to bathe in the torrent of spiritual energy.

For young cultivators, this is an extremely rare opportunity.

To have a crown prince only once in a generation is considered a great fortune.

The Ceremony of Nine Generations must not be missed.

As for the Banquet of Qianyuan, it is an event that cannot be missed either.

The princess of Qianyuan Xianzhou will hold a grand banquet at the Wendaohu Lake, inviting the descendants of immortals.

She has also invited various sects to discuss and talk about the Immortal Law.

At that time, there will be romance and talented individuals.

It will be a wonderful event.

What's even more coincidental is that these two grand events do not conflict with each other.

The Banquet of Qianyuan will be held at the Tenth Immortal Gate's Wendaohu Lake, one season and eleven days later in the winter month.

The Ceremony of Nine Generations will take place at the Ninth Immortal Gate's Taiye Pool in the following spring month.

After attending the Banquet of Qianyuan, one can conveniently proceed to witness the ceremony.

By doing so, one can say that they have no regrets in life.

As a result, many talented young individuals from Xianzhou rushed to the Tenth Immortal Gate to participate in the grand banquet.

Among them are outstanding descendants of immortals.

Coincidentally, these two locations are also the targets of Xia Ming and the others.

Descending from Wumang Mountain, Xia Ming and the others seemed inconspicuous.

They entered this magnificent world directly.

Accompanying the sense of freshness is a deep sense of fear.

Such a grand world makes people feel insignificant.

In this grand world, countless people go with the flow, but who is the pillar in the middle of the stream?

On this journey, Xia Ming asked Han many questions.

Now, Xia Ming is extremely certain.

Han has been brainwashed by the immortals.

There is no saving him.

Although he didn't extract any useful information, Xia Ming learned a valuable piece of intelligence through Han.

Within Xianzhou, the highest known combat power is at the Yin-Yang Realm.

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Core Formation are considered the initial stages of cultivation.

Nascent Soul and Soul Formation are the true beginning of the cultivation path.

At that point, the cultivator's soul has transcended the mundane.

After Soul Formation, there is Void Refining and the Return to Yang Realm.

Because these two realms combine the Yin and Yang Great Dao, some people refer to them as Yin God and Yang God.

After the Yin-Yang Realm, there are the Mahayana and Transcending Tribulation Realms.

Within Xianzhou, Mahayana cultivators are extremely rare, except for the immortals themselves.

Because Xianzhou belongs to the immortals.

Within Xianzhou, it is forbidden for ordinary cultivators to go beyond the Yin-Yang Realm.

The world is vast, and where can't Mahayana cultivators go?

As for Transcending Tribulation cultivators, they are even rarer in the world because once they enter the Transcending Tribulation Realm, it means they have truly embarked on the path of immortality.

With heaven's mandate, mortals strive to cross the tribulation, and those who ultimately receive heaven's mandate will ascend and become immortals.

...

Yin God, Yang God.

Repeating these two names, Xia Ming's thoughts fluctuated.

The Yin-Yang Realm is already considered the high-end combat power in Xianzhou, which means most of the younger generation should be at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage.

Compared to them, Xia Ming still falls short.

His physical body is improving, but his spiritual energy cannot remain stagnant.

Core Formation... Core Formation...

Thinking of Core Formation, Xia Ming thought of Zhao Jiu's sun.

Although Xia Ming has now shifted the blame onto Zhao Jiu, he doesn't want to deal with him.

That guy is now the crown prince and possesses the power of the sun, making his combat strength immeasurable.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Jiu could probably crush Xia Ming with just a flick of his finger.

Zhao Jiu cannot be touched, but it doesn't mean other Zhao cultivators cannot be touched.

Xia Ming has a hunch that the Xianzhou sun created by Zhao Jiu is essentially a source of energy.

If he can understand Zhao Jiu's Xianzhou sun and then apply it to his own Core Formation method, who knows what might happen?

Thinking of this, Xia Ming becomes restless.

As the saying goes, knowledge gained from books is shallow, true understanding comes from personal experience.

And then.

Xia Ming proposed his idea to Pòliù Hán.

Using Zhao Xiu to study Zhao Jiǔ's strengths and weaknesses, knowing oneself and the enemy, and being invincible in a hundred battles.

And then.

Pòliù Hán agreed.

My younger brother has great talent, but unfortunately, he is a little devil.

As Pòliù Hán felt emotional, the two of them began to look for suitable targets.

Although there were many cultivators in Xianzhou Zhao Xiu, it was not easy to find someone who was not too strong but could still unleash the power of the Great Sun Illusion.

And so.

The following scene appeared.

Xianzhou's "Thirteen Rings".

In a lush forest.

Red leaves and frost, layer upon layer.

A man and a woman strolled through the woods.

The man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was gentle and affectionate.

This scene can truly be described as a perfect match of talent and beauty.

Without any warning.

A gust of wind suddenly rose, and a crimson leaf from the treetop spun down.

Then, a flash of golden light, and the man punched through the woman's chest.

As the intense pain struck, the woman tightly grasped the man's robe.

"Zhao...Zhao Lang...why...why..."

The woman looked at the man in front of her, even at this moment, she still refused to believe this cruel reality.

"Wan'er, please forgive me."

Quietly watching the woman in front of him, Zhao Xiu slowly said,

"Wan'er, in the next life, don't look for Zhao Xiu again. Everyone says that the Zhao Xiu bloodline is noble, but how many people know the grievances of those with the surname Zhao!"

At this point, Zhao Xiu's face suddenly became ferocious.

"A generation of princes! The prince is undecided! My name is Zhao Daguan! If the prince is decided, then I will become Zhao Xiu!"

"Zhao Xiu! Zhao Xiu! What is Zhao Xiu? Just a cultivator surnamed Zhao! To hell with Zhao Xiu!"

"Zhao Jiǔ blocked my path! Zhao Jiǔ took my name! I was born for that dream! Now that dream is shattered..."

"Wan'er, Wan'er...I don't want to be Zhao Xiu..."

Supporting the woman's shoulder, Zhao Xiu continued to speak.

"But Wan'er! Qiányuán! Lord Lóngyuè may be my chance."

"As long as I marry Princess Lóngyuè, the clan will surely value me! I don't want to be just Zhao Xiu!"

"But I heard that Princess Lóngyuè is resentful of cultivators' past, so...you should die."

"If you die, no one will know."

Before the words fell.

Another dazzling golden light.

The golden light dimmed, and the woman vanished.

Looking at the curve of the woman's lips.

Zhao Xiu inexplicably felt a tremor in his heart.

Hoo--

"It's an illusion, it's all my illusion."

"Everything...everything will be fine."

Just as Zhao Xiu was panting, hunched over with his hands on his knees, a large hand firmly grabbed his head.

On top of the large hand, immense power was exerted. If Zhao Xiu dared to make the slightest movement, this large hand would mercilessly crush him.

"Let me ask you, are you surnamed Zhao? Are you of the Dàguān Immortal Bloodline?"

Hearing the hoarse voice coming from above, Zhao Xiu's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Zhao Xiu knew very well that he had encountered a dangerous person.

His eyes darted around, and Zhao Xiu immediately made up his mind.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want wealth? Spirit stones? Law Treasures? I can give you everything, we can talk about anything."

As Zhao Xiu spoke, the large hand on his head tightened a bit.

Feeling the terrifying force coming from above, Zhao Xiu's expression immediately changed.

"Answer my question."

Hearing this cold voice, a suppressed fear flashed in Zhao Xiu's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist! I advise you not to do anything foolish. The Qiányuán Banquet and the Crown Prince's ceremony are about to happen. It is extremely unwise to offend the Immortal Bloodline at this time! I advise Fellow Daoist to think twice. I can pretend that this never happened."

Upon hearing Zhao Xiu's words, Xia Ming, who was beside him, also had some doubts in his mind.

Actually, what Zhao Xiu said was not wrong.

Although the "Dàguān Code" did not specifically protect cultivators surnamed Zhao.

But considering that those two major events were about to happen.

If a serious incident were to occur, for the sake of the Immortal's reputation, it might invite terrible consequences.

It might even attract the personal presence of Zhao Jiǔ!

A new official always wants to burn down three houses. Who knows if this Zhao Jiǔ will take the opportunity to show his power?

As Xia Ming pondered.

Only a crisp sound of a melon being crushed was heard.

Zhao Xiu was dead.
