Free Web NovelChapter 432: Chapter 192: When an Immortal Descends and Encounters a Cultivation Master in the City (Part 2)
Oh my gosh!
Ancestor, you sure are generous!
But my dear and charming old ancestor, aren’t you setting up your junior for trouble!
This is quite a test for me!
...
On another street, the Fleeting Shadow around Lu Wenwu slowly dispersed.
He revealed himself before the True Monarch of Destiny.
[True Monarch of Destiny / Celestial Secret Daoist (A+/S-)]: 550 0000/550 0000
[Current State]: Destiny Resonance, Heavenly Dao Favor, Law Body Protection, Bewildered, Shocked
Hmm...
Is this the legendary Immortal descending to the Mortal World?
But... they seem weaker than I imagined...
An existence at the Immortal level is only S- level?
This is barely worth ten free attribute points, somewhat dull.
Perhaps their so-called Destiny Resonance and Law Body Protection can enhance their combat power?
Although this one is a bit weak, necessary courtesy must still be observed.
Looking at the white-haired elder with an Immortal-like bearing in front of him, Lu Wenwu smiled and said, "True Monarch of Destiny, you look much more handsome in person than your Golden Body statue, maybe you should find a good sculptor, young people today care a lot about appearances."
Perhaps Lu Wenwu’s topic was off-track, the True Monarch of Destiny’s eyes were filled with intense confusion.
What is all this?
Why is this meeting not going as I expected?
Not knowing how to respond, I better just stick to the usual protocol.
"I am the True Monarch of Destiny, this... Fellow Daoist may call me by my Human Realm title—Tianji. May I know how to address Fellow Daoist, and what brings you to contact me?"
Having had his identity uncovered, he didn’t hide it, casually casting a seal to conceal the surroundings, admitting straightforwardly.
"Daoist Tianji, you can just call me ’Bao Long’." Lu Wenwu returned the courtesy with a bow, pointing to Mao Mao and said, "This is my dog, Mao Mao."
Squatting in place, Mao Mao immediately raised its right paw, smiling with its tongue out: "Hello, Grandpa Tianji!"
The True Monarch of Destiny’s pupils slightly contracted.
He discreetly displayed a polite smile, nodding slightly, while his heart was already in tumultuous waves.
The flame power contained within such a Spirit Beast is astonishingly intense, with spiritual energy fluctuations not inferior to a Near-God Level expert in the Mortal World.
This person is definitely not simple!
Lu Wenwu continued: "As for why... well, I actually didn’t intend to call you down. I just heard that your wish-granting is quite effective, so I wanted to see if you could help me find the cause of the end-of-world crisis. If you can, great, if not, it’s okay."
True Monarch of Destiny: "???"
Thank you very much!
Putting such a big job on me!
If it weren’t for my profound cultivation, I would have been scared to death by you!
True Monarch of Destiny’s forehead faintly showed a vein popping.
But Lu Wenwu’s words were indeed true.
He never expected that he could perfectly clear a scenario just by making a wish, he had to rely on himself.
The soul power transmission just now was indeed just for fun.
It’s just that the True Monarch of Destiny looks very serious, not at all like someone who enjoys fun like himself.
This left Lu Wenwu feeling somewhat disappointed.
"So... Fellow Daoist Tianji came down here for..."
"Naturally, it is for this end-of-world crisis," said the True Monarch of Destiny.
"Then please tell me the cause of the end-of-world crisis quickly..."
"Then please lay out the causes and effects of the end-of-world crisis..."
"Ah?"
"Hmm?"
Both spoke at the same time, then stopped simultaneously, both stunned.
Lu Wenwu looked bewilderedly at the white-bearded old man in front of him: "Fellow Daoist, weren’t you here to tell me the solution after investigating the truth, and then make me pay the price?"
The True Monarch of Destiny was more bewildered, his eyes wide open: "Fellow Daoist, weren’t you already aware of all the causes and effects, contacting me to tell me the whole truth, so that the Upper Realm could prepare earlier?"
"Of course I’m not! If I knew, why would I ask you?" Lu Wenwu answered confidently, "If I already knew, why would I make a wish? I obviously don’t know, that’s why I made a wish!"
"I always help people without expecting compensation, where does the talk of price come from? Even if there is a price, it is the doing of the Path of Destiny, I simply give every wisher a chance to realize their wish! Even I can’t accurately control the final outcome!"
The True Monarch of Destiny was on the verge of going crazy, feeling extremely anxious, directly laying out the reason why wish-granting doesn’t include after-sales and has bizarre realization methods.
"So what exactly is this end-of-world crisis you mentioned, and how did you learn about it!?"
"Fellow Daoist, at this point, you mustn’t mock the old man! This is for the lives of all beings under heaven!"
"Alright, alright, I know you are anxious, but don’t rush, I’ll tell you slowly."
Lu Wenwu realized both sides made a blunder, so he immediately used brief words to convey the rhetoric he used to fool the Great Xia Government to the True Monarch of Destiny.
After listening to Lu Wenwu’s brief explanation, the True Monarch of Destiny frowned deeply: "So Fellow Daoist means, you only sensed that there will be an end-of-world crisis within this world within a year, but you know nothing about the specific cause?"
Lu Wenwu nodded: "That’s right, and that’s why I made a wish while passing by, hoping for help and guidance from the Immortal Gods. I originally thought this matter only concerned the Human Realm, but from what you say, it seems not so simple?"
"It’s indeed not simple, I have never encountered such a troublesome affair since I started learning Dao at the age of six," the True Monarch of Destiny said very seriously, "This matter must involve Immortal Gods, that is certain. According to the old man’s view, it might have something to do with the Western Gods."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenwu’s eyes lit up with excitement: "Then what are we waiting for? Go talk to that Celestial Emperor, let him open the Celestial Gate so I can go up there and have a look first, swiftly check internally. After we investigate ourselves, then we can mobilize everyone to eliminate the Western Divine Realm, that should resolve the issue."
"Haha, Fellow Daoist, you sure know how to joke, if it were that simple, it would be wonderful." The True Monarch of Destiny stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
Then...
The True Monarch of Destiny laughed heartily, but suddenly noticed that Lu Wenwu was not laughing.
Not only was Lu Wenwu not laughing, but his eyes even revealed killing intent and evil qi.
Looking at the extremely excited person in front of him, whose expression was not fake at all, along with the sincere words and sharp bloodthirsty gaze, the smile gradually disappeared from the True Monarch of Destiny’s face.
The True Monarch of Destiny could not smile anymore.
He suddenly realized that Lu Wenwu might not be joking at all.
Kid... are you seriously serious!?
Do you hear yourself!
If the Western Divine Realm was so easy to eliminate, would we have remained at peace with them for so many years?
And this is just an unfounded guess!
"Fellow Daoist! Do not speak such absurd words anymore!"
The True Monarch of Destiny took a few deep breaths, suppressing the impulse to curse.
In recent years, communication in the Immortal Realm has been minimal, causing deterioration in maintaining composure.
"Let alone the fact that the Western Divine Realm is no ordinary entity, even the Celestial Gate only opens during mortal ascension," the True Monarch of Destiny advised with good words.
Lu Wenwu immediately expressed confusion: "If that’s the case, how do you plan to return?"
"I can resonate with the Path of Destiny, undergo another Ascension Thunder Tribulation, and manifest the Celestial Gate to return to the Upper Realm." This time, it was the True Monarch of Destiny’s turn to speak confidently.
After a brief thought, Lu Wenwu stroked his chin and asked, "Is there a possibility where you open the Celestial Gate, and I accompany you through the Thunder Tribulation and enter? Then we follow the old plan where I deal with those Western Gods and finish the task!"
The True Monarch of Destiny was shocked, looking at him as if he were a Wildman: "Fellow Daoist Bao Long, you’re crazy! Even if you withstand the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, you, who have not yet resonated with the Path to forge a Supreme Immortal Body, have absolutely no chance of entering the Upper Realm."
"Whether it’s the Immortal Realm or the Divine Realm, the moment you enter, the Heavenly Dao will erase you! This has been tried by seniors long ago; hasn’t your teacher told you this?"
