Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 107: Cooperation, the True Witch's Heavenly Pearl

Boom—

Once again, two consecutive blood palms fell, accompanied by Li Fengsheng's angry voice.

"Lu Tianming, if you retreat now, I might spare you a complete corpse. If you continue to be stubborn, I will definitely make you regret it. What level are you at? How dare you come and scheme against me."

Lu Tianming looked up at the roof and let out a long sigh.

He had underestimated these two people. This Blood Spirit Formation had absorbed the essence blood of hundreds of disciples, and with the presence of two Five Realm cultivators and the Blood Silkworm Gu, it was formidable.

The most important thing was that he had just focused most of the formation's power on the side hall, intending to use the power of the formation to assist the Blood Silkworm Gu in wearing down these two people.

If it weren't for the majority of the formation's power being concentrated in the side hall, Xue Qianluo's swordsmanship wouldn't have been able to break through the formation and send the person away.

But unexpectedly, Wang Tanxiao and Li Fengsheng broke through the formation just like that, and even involved a Blood Silkworm Gu.

In theory, a cultivator at the Sixth Realm would never be able to break this Blood Spirit Formation. It was personally set up by the Perfected Being of the Great Gu back then and had been nurtured for thousands of years.

Lu Tianming couldn't understand it, but the current situation was a desperate situation for him. It was only a matter of time before the two outside broke the formation.

Inside, Xue Qianluo alone was enough to contend with him, and she might even surpass him in the end.

And Xu You, along with the other Kunlun disciple who possessed the mysterious Body Integration technique, combined with their overwhelmingly powerful sword formation, could still pose a fatal threat to him.

He clearly saw how easily they killed the Blood Silkworm Gu with a single sword strike.

Moreover, the jade talisman in the opponent's hand was what Lu Tianming truly feared.

He could clearly feel how terrifying that jade talisman would be once activated, and he would be terrified to the point of defeat.

Therefore, Lu Tianming knew that he couldn't defeat these three Kunlun disciples at the moment.

A sense of defeat arose in Lu Tianming's heart. The entire Heaven Splitting Sect had paid such a great price just to kill the disciples of the Immortal Gate and the Demon Alliance.

Creating the illusion of mutual fighting, with the Heaven Splitting Sect as the victim.

This way, they could obtain the inheritance, shed their old selves like a cicada, and continue the inheritance in a hidden place.

When Lu Tianming learned that the Demon Alliance had come to obtain the inheritance of the Great Gu, he immediately planned this matter, using all his cunning and even sacrificing the lives of so many disciples.

But all these schemes were still like paper in the face of absolute strength.

Thinking of how I, Lu Tianming, have been trembling all my life, only because my vision was limited and I couldn't see the grandeur of the heights, I couldn't imagine the greatness of those high above.

Not only did the high-level cultivators of the Demon Alliance exceed his expectations, but the strength of those lofty Immortal Gate geniuses was even more unreasonable.

They could fight across realms so easily.

Everything ultimately failed because of his background.

Lu Tianming's eyes gradually filled with defeat, as he touched the book and the green jade pearl in his arms. Slowly, his gaze became firm once again.

There was still one last path to take.

Just like Lu Tianming, Xu You's pupils contracted at this moment.

He was all too familiar with this person's voice. Wasn't this the pair of Sixth Realm demonic cultivators from outside Xichuan City back then?

The grudge between the two sides could be said to be deep, and now these two suddenly appeared here, causing Xu You to be both shocked and anxious.

If they were to meet, he could already imagine his fate.

Just at this moment, the formation suddenly started to move again, forming a huge blood-colored sphere, which was obviously much better in quality than before.

This sphere instantly absorbed Xue Qianluo and Duan Aotian.

The speed was so fast that neither of them had time to react.

Meanwhile, Lu Tianming, who had completed all of this, was panting slightly, staring at Xu You intently.

The latter's face changed slightly, and he stepped back before cautiously looking at the other party.

"I think we can discuss a cooperation," Lu Tianming said to Xu You in a calm voice, without showing any hostility.

"What do you mean?" Xu You calmly asked in return.

Lu Tianming slowly said, "The two people outside are Wang Tanxiao and Li Fengsheng, the hall masters of the Chijin Gate. They are very powerful, and breaking the formation is only a matter of time. If they break in, I will undoubtedly die, and so will you. Those two hall masters have specifically named you as their target."

Xu You's heart sank, but his face remained unchanged. "So, that's why Master Lu wanted to keep me just now. So, I suppose you were cooperating with those two demonic cultivators before. Why the change of heart now?"

"Xu Xiaoxia is indeed a clever person," Lu Tianming nodded slowly. "When talking to a clever person, I won't beat around the bush. I just wanted to absorb both of you earlier. Obviously, that didn't work out. The demonic cultivators are too powerful, so we have no choice but to cooperate."

Xu You furrowed his brows slightly. "Master Lu, those two are very strong. Even if the four of us join forces, we probably won't be a match for them."

Xu You wouldn't easily believe the other party. Just now, they wanted to take his life, and now they wanted to cooperate. Did they really think he was a fool?

Recalling the details from just now until now, Xu You's mind quickly turned, considering the possibilities.

"I still have a way out. With the Transformation Gu, we can confront those two demonic cultivators using the Blood Spirit Formation," Lu Tianming said slowly.

"I can escort you all out of here, and I will stay behind to deal with it alone. However, I need you to agree to two things," Lu Tianming said.

Xu You, upon hearing this, looked at the other party with some surprise and followed the other party's train of thought. "Please go on."

Lu Tianming said, "First, the formation targeting you was my doing alone. The Heaven Splitting Sect is almost completely destroyed now, and no one from your side has been killed. After leaving this place, I hope you can promise not to completely eradicate the Heaven Splitting Sect."

With that, Lu Tianming paused for a moment, then took out a book and a green jade bead from his pocket and threw them to Xu You before continuing, "Second, I hope Xu Xiaoxia can do me a favor. Take the book to a specific location and give it to my junior brother, Lei Ze. This is the complete inheritance of our sect's founder, a legacy that the Heaven Splitting Sect has dreamed of for thousands of years. As for this green jade bead, it is a gift for you, but please don't tell my junior brother that you have it."

Xu You looked at the book and the green jade bead in his hand with a puzzled expression.

He had seen Lu Tianming's reaction when he obtained these two things just now, it was fanaticism.

Now he was entrusting such important things to him? Was this a joke?

"May I ask why Master Lu doesn't deliver them himself?" Xu You asked with a hesitant fist.

"Once transformed into the Transformation Gu, I will lose my rationality. My path ends here," Lu Tianming said calmly, as if he had seen through life and death.

"Please consider quickly, Xu Xiaoxia. If you agree, I will immediately send you out. If you refuse, I can only kill you all to eliminate future troubles," Lu Tianming said.

Xu You smiled helplessly. "Since Master Lu has said so, what reason do I have to refuse? But I have one question. Why does Master Lu trust that I will deliver the items?"

Lu Tianming took out a blood-red page and handed it over. "This is a page from the River of Styx. Xu Xiaoxia, swear on your Dao Heart that you will deliver the book intact to my junior brother."

Xu You looked at the black pages and no longer doubted.

This is a commonly used method in the cultivation world. The pages of the Styx River Book are produced in the ghost realm and made from the water of the Styx River. By swearing with one's Dao heart, an immediate contract can be generated.

Once completed, the pages turn into ashes. If the oath is violated, the person who made the oath will be devoured by countless ghosts, and their Great Dao will sink.

It is equivalent to a nuclear weapon-like deterrent. Once the agreement is made, it is basically impossible for both parties to violate it.

Xu You carefully examined the pages of the Styx River Book, then looked at Xue Qianluo and Duan Aotian trapped in the light sphere. He also looked at Lu Tianming, who had already resigned himself to death.

He then looked at the two demon leaders outside, who were attacking frantically.

There were wolves in front and tigers behind.

Under the current circumstances, the only way out was to make these two agreements with the other party, otherwise there would be no way to survive.

"Alright, I agree." Xu You no longer hesitated and immediately made the oath on the pages of the Styx River Book with Lu Tianming.

After the oath was made, the pages of the Styx River Book emitted a faint green light. Xu You could clearly feel the traces of the oath entwined on his soul.

The oath must be fulfilled before it can be released.

"Master Lu, I'm curious why you would trust me?" Xu You asked the other party curiously.

Lu Tianming formed hand seals, and his cultivation surged again, causing the only living blood silkworm gu beside him to also become violent.

The sharp teeth in the blood basin were restless, and in the end, it directly bit into Lu Tianming's abdomen.

A slight look of pain appeared on Lu Tianming's face as his essence blood continuously flowed into the mouth of the blood silkworm gu.

"Because of your extraordinary background," Lu Tianming answered Xu You's question with a calm breath, despite the pain. "Those two demon cultivators didn't even dare to kill you with their own hands.

They had to use me. If they had other plans, they wouldn't have shown up. So, I believe that your background is enough to help me accomplish this task.

Secondly, you are a smart person, and I like doing business with smart people. That's all."

"I see." Xu You lowered his head and looked at the green jade bead in his hand. "May I ask what this bead is and why you gave it to me?"

Lu Tianming stared at the green jade bead, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance. "It's the True Witch Heaven Bead."

"The True Witch Heaven Bead?" Xu You was taken aback and asked, "But what does it have to do with the True Witch Heaven Sect?"

Lu Tianming nodded slowly. "I only know that this bead is also a precious existence in the True Witch Heaven Sect.

When the founder of the sect left the True Witch Heaven Sect, it may have been related to this bead. Over the thousands of years, many people from the True Witch Heaven Sect have secretly come to the Heaven Splitting Sect, but they have found nothing.

An artifact that the True Witch Heaven Sect has been coveting for thousands of years, I think it is enough to prove its importance.

Only the successive sect masters know about this matter, but it is also because our Heaven Splitting Sect really doesn't know where the founder's burial place is, nor the specific whereabouts of the True Witch Heaven Bead.

Otherwise, if the True Witch Heaven Sect knew that the True Witch Heaven Bead was in our Heaven Splitting Sect, how could it have continued for so many years?

Keeping us, the Heaven Splitting Sect, is just for the day when it can be useful in finding the True Witch Heaven Bead.

I didn't expect that in the end, the Demon Alliance would be the one to know the burial place of our founder. This time, those two demon cultivators came mainly to find the True Witch Heaven Bead.

What I did was just struggling in this quagmire.

Now, the True Witch Heaven Bead is in your hands. How you handle it is up to you. This matter has nothing to do with the Heaven Splitting Sect anymore. I only hope that the Heaven Splitting Sect can continue to exist peacefully."

Lu Tianming's face became more and more painful. Perhaps knowing that the end was near, he no longer concealed the various reasons from Xu You.

After listening in a daze, Xu You finally understood the twists and turns of the situation. Looking at the True Witch Heaven Bead in his hand, he felt even more absurd.

The treasure that can make both the True Witch Tianmen and the Demon Alliance so concerned must be truly precious. In the end, I didn't expect it to fall into my hands in this way.

It's really a matter of timing and fate. Xu You solemnly put away the bead, preparing to study it carefully later.

Just as Lu Tianming said earlier, he is not afraid to swallow this troublesome thing, and Xu You is not afraid to rely on his background.

Moreover, it is unlikely that anyone knows that he has the bead.

"Roar—"

Lu Tianming let out a painful roar, as the blood silkworm had completely merged into his body.

At this moment, his body underwent a strange transformation, turning red, and all the flesh on his body turned into a disgusting wriggling state.

His entire face became a blood-red gaping mouth without any features, completely resembling a human-shaped blood silkworm.

The blood energy of the Blood Spirit Formation continuously flowed into his body, and his cultivation level continued to rise, finally stopping at the Late Stage of the Sixth Realm.

His strength underwent a tremendous change.

"Young Hero Xu, I hope you can keep your promise!" Lu Tianming said in a muffled voice.

Before Xu You could respond with a fist salute, Lu Tianming, who was about to lose his sanity, formed a black hole in the formation, sucking in Xu You, Xue Qianluo, and Duan Aotian.

Then, Wang Tanxiao and Li Fengsheng outside were also sucked in, and the two groups of people passed by each other.

Xu You could even see the angry gaze that Li Fengsheng directed at him, and he directly showed a gentle smile towards him.

Finally, Xu You's gaze fell on Lu Tianming, who was in a state of human and silkworm, completely devoid of any human appearance, and his body exuded a wild and violent aura, without any trace of reason.

At this moment, he rushed towards Wang Tanxiao and Li Fengsheng.

Xu You sighed softly and was completely sucked out.

After a moment of dizziness, Xu You found himself outside the Blood Spirit Formation, looking at the blood-red scene in the hall like hell, he felt a bit emotional.

Xu You didn't know how to evaluate Lu Tianming, the Sect Master.

Cruel, intelligent, decisive, and patient.

He could be considered a strong person, but there was nothing he could do when faced with absolute power, especially when the Heaven Splitting Sect was targeted by the Demon Alliance.

Under the overall situation, small characters and small forces can often only survive in the quagmire.

In fact, this time the Heaven Splitting Sect was almost destroyed, and he also had some responsibility.

If it weren't for him being here, Wang Tanxiao and Li Fengsheng probably wouldn't have set up such an ambush to kill him.

Forcing him to make mistakes and end up in this situation.

Of course, Xu You naturally wouldn't have too much sympathy. Lu Tianming had wanted to kill him before. It was only when he was pushed to a desperate situation that he cooperated with him.

In the end, he did save his life. Without him desperately restraining those two demonic cultivators, he would have been in big trouble.

"What happened?" Xue Qianluo frowned slightly as she looked at the Blood Spirit Formation in front of her.

She could still vaguely feel the fierce battle inside.

"Sister, let's retreat first. I'll explain on the way."

"Okay."
