Free Web NovelChapter 604: Chapter 404: Entering the Immortal Sect, Meeting the Immortal_2
If the Five Elements Sect or the Peacock Race objects, he’d easily resolve it.
If possible, Zhong Heng was quite interested in a Royal Peacock.
Zhong Heng began his cultivation like a typical disciple of the Immortal Sect, utilizing the sect’s resources.
[Your journey of cultivation in the Five Elements Immortal Sect has begun.]
[As a direct disciple, you don’t need to go through the various trials that ordinary disciples face to access these cultivation treasure lands.]
[You browsed through numerous books in the Scripture Pavilion, absorbing a wealth of knowledge, and combined with the River Map Inference, you continued to perfect your cultivation technique.]
[On the Ten Thousand Dao Pride List, you sparred with countless experts, experiencing both victories and losses. The list provided you with feedback on your combat weaknesses and advice, and you gained tremendously.]
[You ranked in the top hundred on the Ten Thousand Dao Pride List, Nascent Soul Sub-list, earning a substantial amount of sect contributions.]
[You entered the Hundred Arts Hall, where you met with the souls of numerous array masters. They were astonished and praised you, and you gained a vast amount of knowledge, especially in Five Elements Array knowledge.]
[You could feel that your previous understanding of arrays was like a mayfly before the vast sea compared to now.]
[You spent eight years in the Hundred Arts Hall.]
[In the Martial Arts Arena, you encountered the illusions of masters shaped by transformations, all of whom were powerful figures in the history of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.]
[In the Great Dream Academy, you reforged your Dao Foundation, as if starting cultivation from the beginning again, and learned many techniques from it. The academy had a hint of the River Map Inference, allowing you to deduce a version of a technique best suited for a cultivator.] ƒгeewёbnovel.com
[In the Five Elements Holy Land, you sensed the Five Paths of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, gaining a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Divine Light.]
[You bathed your body in the Red Dragon Waterfall, where, instead of river water, the waterfall flowed with Red Dragon Blood. Within just three days, you could feel the mercurial Qi-Blood within your body, even comparable to some Nascent Soul Body Cultivators.]
[In the Kunpeng Mist Realm, you comprehended True Essence, which dispersed and fused with the mist. After seven days in seclusion, you mastered the Kunpeng Breathing Technique, almost doubling the True Essence capacity of your Dantian Meridian.]
[In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Transformations, you engaged in fierce combat with endless waves of enemies, experiencing the transformations between life and death.] freewebnovёl.ƈom
[In the Five Elements Reincarnation, you transformed into a single-attribute Celestial Spirit Root, sensing the Path of the Five Elements through different celestial root qualifications.]
[Under the Five Elements Stele, you realized the Seven Five Elements Techniques, one of which, the Five Elements Seven Star Sword, was only slightly inferior to the Five Elements Divine Light.]
[In the Dragon Transformation Pool, you sensed the transformation of your bloodline.]
[In the Mortal Dream Abyss, you transformed into a mortal and lived life after life... ]
The resources of the Immortal Sect were even more abundant than Zhong Heng had imagined.
Any one of them would be considered a great opportunity in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
[After twelve years of cultivation, you again headed to the Ten Thousand Dao Pride List.]
[In twelve years, you have been thoroughly transformed, with your Essence, Qi, and Spirit reaching a state of transformation. Your understanding of the Path of the Five Elements has greatly improved, elevating your Five Elements Spirit Body to a new level, and your mastery of Array Dao has stabilized at Tier Eight.]
[On the Celestial Pride List, you fought and ranked eleventh.]
The Celestial Pride List ranks disciples from most of the Immortal Sects in the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
However, the sect disciples are not everything in Jiuzhou; even in remote places, Celestial Prides can emerge to challenge sect disciples.
So, it does not mean that Zhong Heng ranks eleventh in the entire Jiuzhou Nascent Soul Realm.
Nonetheless, it is still quite extraordinary.
Zhong Heng was meditating on the Cultivation Square.
He was clothed in a loose white robe, with the Five Elements Amplification of the Five Elements Stele imprinted on his forehead.
His aura was profound, as if he could perceive all things in the world with a single glance.
The surrounding disciples looked at Zhong Heng with reverent eyes.
Over these twelve years, Zhong Heng thoroughly demonstrated to them what a genius truly means.
Zhong Heng had already completed his Dao Foundation.
Previously, Zhong Heng relied on arrays; without them, he could only use the Five Elements Divine Light to fend off enemies.
But now, Zhong Heng has virtually no weaknesses.
The Array Dao is not Zhong Heng’s reliance but his specialty.
Looking at him now, he truly possesses the demeanor of a sect disciple.
"Elder Zhong, my grandfather has finally contacted me..."
Kong Ling sent a Divine Consciousness Incarnation message into Zhong Heng’s ear.
After twelve years, Kong Hong, the third disciple of the Immortal and one of the nine Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, had finally come out of seclusion.
Under Kong Ling’s guidance and with Zhong Heng’s status as a direct disciple,
Zhong Heng soon met this Divinity Transformation elder.
However, upon seeing the other party, Zhong Heng’s heart sank.
Kong Hong wore simple white clothes, unstained by dust. His garments fluttered with the wind, and his posture was tall and erect, each step seeming to carry an elegant rhythm. His white robe was as pure as snow, and his attire waved gracefully.
Two strands of white hair fell from his temples.
Looking at him thus, one could tell he had Returned to the Essence, appearing like a mortal.
But with Zhong Heng’s perfected Dao Foundation, he could almost sharply sense the other’s weakness...
Or rather... the other seemed frail, almost as if... everything inside was depleted.
It looked similar to a shadow, yet it was real, at least superficially real.
More like a hollow doll propped up by air.
"Your perception is keen..."
Kong Hong stared fixedly at Zhong Heng.
"Grandfather..." Kong Ling whispered something in Kong Hong’s ear.
Kong Hong’s eyes seemed to flash with a few glimmers of light.
Not at all like Zhong Heng perceived.
"You are outstanding, and I can feel you are different from ordinary cultivators..."
"You shouldn’t be here; take Kong Ling. I will give you the status of an Immortal Sect traveller and have you temporarily leave the Five Elements Sect."
Kong Hong spoke these words without any explanation.
Kong Ling was a bit astonished and confused.
Zhong Heng narrowed his eyes.
"Elder, I wish to meet the True Immortal."
"Impossible." Almost as soon as Zhong Heng finished speaking, Kong Hong bluntly replied.
"Why not? I am a direct disciple of the Five Elements Sect and qualified to meet the True Immortal."
Zhong Heng argued with Kong Hong at this moment.
Kong Ling turned, somewhat dazed, looking at Zhong Heng, then at Kong Hong.
The lively eyes now bore a look of bewilderment.
Did I get the wrong script?
Her grandfather Kong Hong had previously told her differently, asking her to return an item to the Peacock Race, a task only he could perform.
Zhong Heng, too, had said something different, mentioning that meeting the True Immortal wasn’t strictly necessary.
Now Kong Hong was urging her to leave directly.
Yet Zhong Heng was insisting on meeting the True Immortal?
.........
"Elder Hu, are you certain?"
The usually composed Elder Hu’s voice now trembled slightly.
"Certain, it is my lord... it is the aura of the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable..."
Zhong Heng remained silent for a moment.
"The Five Elements Qiankun Gourd still has one chance to traverse space. I will ensure your safety."
If it were the original disposition of Zhong Heng, he might have fled with Kong Ling already; his gains in the Five Elements Sect were substantial.
Though somewhat reluctant, it was still a significant profit.
Given Kong Hong’s tone, the Five Elements Sect might be facing some trouble, and Zhong Heng would typically escape trouble.
But now, Zhong Heng could sense the urgency in Elder Hu, who had been silent for twelve years and now was unusually active.
Zhong Heng hesitated for a moment, but suddenly, his heart skipped.
Zhong Heng lifted his head, his eyes filled with determination, and said to Kong Hong, "Yes, I wish to meet the Immortal."
Kong Hong seemed like he wanted to say something but appeared to hear something else and continued in a now expressionless tone, "The Immortal has permitted it."
"Grandfather..."
Kong Ling seemed to sense a strange atmosphere.
Yet Kong Hong merely glanced at her like a puppet; even with Kong Ling’s high cultivation, she felt a chill down her spine.
Kong Hong, with Zhong Heng, transformed into a Flowing Light and left.
When Zhong Heng opened his eyes again,
he was greeted by a cloudscape resembling an Immortal Realm.
A man in white clothes stood with hands folded behind him.
Zhong Heng saluted him and said, "Greetings, Five Elements True Immortal."
The Five Elements True Immortal turned around, and Zhong Heng did not meet his gaze directly.
"Zhong Heng? Quite a promise you show. Why have you come?"
Zhong Heng lifted his head, the gourd at his waist shimmered with light.
"I have come... to lend a hand to the Immortal."
