Chapter 484: Chapter 294: Evil Heart Bodhisattva (Part 6)
Upon hearing the Taoist priest’s words, the young man and woman were instantly frightened and got up to flee, but how could they escape from the priest’s grasp.
He took out an object from his chest and threw it, this thing grew with the wind and instantly became a seven-foot long umbrella.
This umbrella was as black as ink, without a trace of color, and under the umbrella, the wind howled, with faint cries and howls of ghosts.
With the Taoist priest’s finger controlling it, the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella flew directly above the heads of the young man and woman, two black arms stretched out straight and pierced into the heads of the young man and woman without hindrance.
With a tug of the black arms, two souls were pulled out from the bodies of the pair.
Once separated from the body, the souls of the young man and woman suddenly transformed, faces resembling evil spirits, limbs like claws, the Taoist priest clapped his hands and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, worthy of my good disciples, even these evil souls have the opportunity to become one of the main souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella."
The two wisps of souls were caught into the umbrella, and with the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella closing, it flew back automatically and fell into the priest’s hand.
The green ox ignored everything and continued to leisurely proceed along the mountain path.
Clop clop clop clop! Clop clop clop clop!
"Drive! Drive! Drive!"
Not long after, a sudden sound of urgent hoofbeats came from the mountain path behind.
The white-robed Taoist priest focused on the book in his hand, without any intention of turning his head to look.
As the horse reached just one zhang [about three meters] away from the green ox, it immediately stopped, and a woman with a backpack quickly dismounted and ran to the side of the green ox.
"Excuse me, are you the Golden Immortal Master?"
The white-robed Taoist priest turned his head to see a woman of about thirty, if Qin Yuesheng was here, he would recognize her as ’Thousand Hands Heartless’ Wan Guying.
"I am."
Wan Guying’s face was honest, and she said respectfully: "Golden Immortal Master, I heard that you have a bounty on the Five Mountains and Eight Hills, that anyone who can retrieve the Crimson Cloud Scripture for you will receive a Lifespan Extension Pill."
The white-robed Taoist priest nodded: "I said it, and it is absolutely true."
Wan Guying untied her backpack, took out an iron box from it, and handed it to him: "Please Golden Immortal Master, take a look."
Wan Guying’s words and actions made it clear to the white-robed Taoist priest her intentions, as he took the iron box and opened it, a red-covered book with the words "Crimson Cloud Scripture" immediately came into his view.
"Good! Good! Good!" The white-robed Taoist priest said good three times, having studied the Crimson Cloud Scripture for so many years, he could naturally immediately discern its authenticity.
Today, it finally returned to its rightful owner!
He slipped the Crimson Cloud Scripture into a small pouch hanging at his waist, the scripture, several times larger than the pouch itself, instantly disappeared in the white-robed Taoist priest’s hand, this magical method made Wan Guying secretly amazed.
Her understanding of the Golden Immortal Master greatly increased.
"For you." The white-robed Taoist priest casually tossed a small octagonal box which landed in Wan Guying’s hand.
She quietly opened it and immediately smelled a peculiar fragrance, just a whiff was enough to make a person feel refreshed, full of energy.
Lifespan Extension Pill!
It is said to grant an additional twenty years of life!
This item, wherever you take it, is priceless, a treasure beyond measure.
Wan Guying was excited and hurriedly swallowed it.
Who doesn’t want to live longer, especially martial artists, if they can live an extra twenty years, their chance of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm would be greater, Wan Guying was no exception.
"Golden Immortal Master, may I, may I dare to ask you a question?" Watching the white-robed Taoist priest urge the green ox to speed up, Wan Guying quickly spoke.
"What is it." Perhaps due to retrieving the Crimson Cloud Scripture, the white-robed Taoist priest seemed to be in a good mood.
"Martial artists have ordinary martial artists, external martial artist, and the Inner Power Realm Tenth Layer divisions; once broken through the Tenth Layer, they become Grandmasters." Wan Guying paused, nervously and expectantly asked: "Above the Grandmaster, is there an even higher realm? Are there really omnipotent immortals in the world?"
The white-robed Taoist priest turned back and looked at her, smiled mysteriously: "Since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you,
Above the Martial Arts Grandmaster, there is, of course, a higher realm, that is, becoming an immortal."
"Becoming an immortal!!!" Wan Guying was shocked.
Could it be that immortals really exist in this world?
"After martial artists break through the Grandmaster Realm, their path is similar to that of Taoists, cultivating Primordial Essence, Primordial Qi, Primordial Spirit, practicing the Samadhi True Flame, using the Samadhi True Flame to cultivate Five Qi Toward the Origin, Three Flowers at the Top, then condensing the Sacred Wheel."
The white-robed Taoist priest spoke seriously and carefully.
But Wan Guying, just an Inner Power Realm martial artist, couldn’t understand so much; things like Samadhi True Flame, Five Qi Toward the Origin, Three Flowers at the Top, Sacred Wheel, she had never heard of, for a moment feeling her horizons greatly expanded.
Unable to suppress her impulse, she planned to thank this Immortal Master.
But at this moment, she suddenly saw a peculiar smile appearing on the other’s face.
This smile had a hint of cunning, revealing a look of expectation and impending triumph.
With a martial artist’s warning instinct, Wan Guying sensed danger, although unaware of forthcoming events, she immediately ran toward her horse.
"It’s too late to realize now." The white-robed Taoist priest said mysteriously, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
Without waiting for Wan Guying to mount, her entire body suddenly collapsed powerlessly to the ground, a bloody slit appeared on her forehead, and a wisp of soul drifted out from it.
The white-robed Taoist priest tossed out the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella and directly absorbed this wisp of soul, adding another powerful ghost to the umbrella.
"Lifespan Extension Pill, where in this world is such a treasure available, and even if it were, how could I bear to give it to you." The white-robed Taoist priest looked at Wan Guying’s corpse and laughed.
He patted the ox and continued onward.
Taoist cultivators, most of all, possess an understanding of face without knowing heart.
Some people outwardly appear like immortals, righteous and awe-inspiring, but behind the scenes are ruthless killers, doing things entirely based on personal whims like a demon.
As it is, the group of Five Mountains and Eight Hills is unaware, Jin Zihua’s character, outside, bears the title ’Ultimate Evil Cultivator,’ showing just how malicious and hostile his nature truly is.
