Chapter 426: I Am the Immortal Emperor of the Upper Realm Reincarnated! (1)

Zhong Province, Great Dao Sect.

Elder Changqing from Long Life Gate sat in the pavilion, facing Elder Qingzhuo from Great Dao Sect.

This time, Elder Changqing came as a messenger, traveling far to Great Dao Sect.

Along with him, other Nascent Soul Elders also set off for other Immortal Gates at the same time.

Ever since Elder Qingzhuo was cleared of the incident and his status within the sect rose, he became a wise man who escaped from the Qiao family’s martial arts.

Even this visit from Immortal Changqing is being received by Elder Qingzhuo.

Therefore, this time, Elder Qingzhuo represents Great Dao Sect, and their conversation is a dialogue between the two major Immortal Gates, needing to be careful and respectful…

"What?" Elder Qingzhuo was shaken all over, almost unable to resist standing up:

"Do you want Long Life Gate to join hands with Seven Immortal Gates, to divide Nan Province and defeat a member of the Qiao family?"

"Do you even not want incense offerings, only to capture a member of the Qiao family alive?"

"…Why are you so surprised, Qingzhuo friend?" Elder Changqing said with some astonishment.

"In our Long Life Gate’s view, the threat posed by a member of the Qiao family is more important than competing for the incense offerings of those two provinces."

"Although the incense offerings of the two provinces are plentiful, even if they are divided among the Seven Immortal Gates, it won’t be too much."

"Moreover, we are also very curious about the martial arts practiced by the Qiao family member."

Elder Changqing pondered that his response was logical, without any loopholes.

After all, Long Life Gate is well-known for its dedication to martial arts, so saying so also aligns with the impressions other Immortal Gates have of Long Life Gate.

He just didn’t understand why Elder Qingzhuo suddenly seemed so surprised, making him think he had said something wrong.

Elder Qingzhuo was feeling confused at the moment.

"What is Long Life Gate up to, Dao Zhen?"

The Qiao family member, originating from the small world idea, initially just made a guess to avoid being blamed by the sect leader.

Unsure if the guess was true or false, he had no confidence, as long as he could get by, not showing that he, as an elder, had been out for so long without accomplishing anything important, it would be fine.

Unexpectedly, Long Life Gate suddenly made such a move, which also surprised Elder Qingzhuo.

"Could it be a lucky hit?"

Upon careful consideration, although this Qiao family member claimed to "Use Martial Arts to Defeat Immortals", challenging the immortal path with martial arts, in reality, wasn’t it just what was left behind by the Great Dao Sect?

The legend of using martial arts to enter the Dao has a long history in Zhong Province.

Initially, Elder Qingyi taught King Qin Qin Shiqing and others the method of "using martial arts to enter the Dao" in the Zhong Province Imperial Capital, achieving the Martial Arts Golden Body technique, boasting that the Martial Arts Golden Body could withstand any sword or spear.

In essence, they use magical Taoist techniques to turn ordinary people’s bodies into iron Taoist soldiers.

Even the unbeatable King Qin Qin Shiqing from Zhong Province has been solving many supernatural disasters and defeating cultivators with his iron fists, gaining fame for using martial arts to defeat immortals in Zhong Province.

He was later titled as a king by Emperor Yonghe and given the title of Great Qin Prefecture, becoming extremely famous.

During the era after Martial Saint’s fake death, King Qin Qin Shiqing was seen as a strong competitor to the martial arts leader of Jiu Province.

Just when they were almost ready to establish the Earthly Immortal Kingdom, a member of the Qiao family appeared at their door.

After that event, Elder Qingzhuo was sent overseas to find out the origin of the Qiao family.

"They have learned this technique from us," Elder Qingzhuo realized with regret.

Elder Qingzhuo felt disappointed.

At the same time, he felt curious.

The ordinary martial artist had limited knowledge and thought that the Martial Arts Golden Body mentioned by King Qin was a transformation after superbly mastering martial arts.

Later on, other sects like the Yunxiao Sect followed suit and supported a Demon Spear named Qing Li, who had Jingwei demon blood flowing in his veins, to become the Feather King.

So, what about the current members of the Qiao family?

Are their extraordinary skills in martial arts similar to King Qin’s "Martial Arts Golden Body," or are they the result of some kind of more advanced immortal technique?

"If the mastermind behind the Qiao family is indeed the Long Life Gate, then this Long Life Gate is truly sinister."

Elder Qingzhuo thought to himself:

"Supporting the Qiao family behind the scenes, causing the downfall of the Xuantian Sect and Yunxiao Sect, the two major Immortal Gates."

"When things escalate, while the other Immortal Gates are still watching, they come out proposing to join forces against the Qiao family member… but paradoxically, they want to capture the Qiao family member alive and keep them safe."

"Are they taking advantage of all the good opportunities in this world?"

In this world, only cultivators hold power, and no other creatures can rival them.

Only immortals can deal with immortals, martial arts won’t work.

Even though characters like Qiao family member have appeared, Elder Qingzhuo and others still believe that other Immortal Gates are behind this.

"Friend Qingzhuo? Friend Qingzhuo?" Elder Changqing couldn’t help but speak up when Elder Qingzhuo kept spacing out.

"… The proposal from your sect is indeed important, I am thinking about how to inform the sect leader about this matter," Elder Qingzhuo said with a smile.

Elder Changqing could only nod.

Although he didn’t know Elder Qingzhuo’s true thoughts, he wasn’t blind. Based on Elder Qingzhuo’s reaction just now, he had some idea in his heart that this matter might not be easily resolved.

Blame the extraordinary heritage of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates.

Whether it’s Long Life Gate or Great Dao Sect, both have extraordinary heritage and believe they can handle Qiao family member, as long as they pay a price.

It was like a wild boar charging into the territory of the tigers.

Although some suggested hunting down the boar, no one wanted to take the risk of getting hurt.

The tigers did not hunt in groups. If one was injured or showed weakness, the third Immortal Gate might be in danger.

"Seven Immortal Gates, maybe they symbolize seven different thoughts… Even if this can be achieved, it may not happen quickly, we might not be able to avoid conflicts…" Immortal Changqing sighed softly.

Although it was said like that.

But if the Long Life Gate family had to take the risk alone, they naturally wouldn’t want to.

………………………………….

Headquarters of the Wuji Association in Zhong Province.

Zhong Province’s Moon Xuan Envoys Li Gongde and Wu Qizheng faced each other in silence.

"If Lord Qizheng truly wants to know the source of the Spiritual Meat Pill, it’s not impossible. Follow me then."

Li Gongde pondered for a long time before speaking.

"Are you going to lead the way for me? Aren’t you afraid that Martial Saint will find out and harm you?" Wu Qizheng did not appreciate the offer and responded coldly.

"Lord Qizheng came prepared this time, I couldn’t stop him, so I didn’t try." Li Gongde put on a friendly smile, resembling an ordinary wealthy man.

"Besides, Martial Saint had anticipated this situation, so if Lord Qizheng returns, leading the way should be fine."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qizheng remained cautious, his brow furrowing deeper.

"Was this also within Martial Saint’s expectations? Or is there another trap waiting here?"

He stayed alert, following Li Gongde into the small building.

The small building was nestled against the mountain, appearing as a humble wooden structure from the outside, but inside, it held hidden secrets, connected to a deep cave.

The cave was dark inside, with a wide but winding passage.

Li Gongde led the way, saying little as only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the cave, reverberating far into the distance.

"We’ve reached the prison cell," Li Gongde spoke up.

"This Spiritual Meat Pill actually has two main sources…"

"The first type of Spiritual Meat Pill can only be refined by Martial Saint…"

Li Gongde made hand gestures and a faint halo of light spread out, illuminating the dark cave.

Inside the cave, one could see artificially created square prison cells, each containing blurry humanoid figures either crouching or lying down, silently staying in the cells.

Wu Qizheng approached one cell and went to look at a figure lying on the ground inside.

It was a strange humanoid creature, over two meters tall, with a strong and slender body, bones extending outward from the chest, forming two additional arms to the original pair, making a total of four arms.

"What’s this?" Wu Qizheng frowned and carefully examined it.

"Is… it Big Brother Strange?" The four-armed monster spoke with a surprisingly delicate voice, causing even the experienced Wu Qizheng to be taken aback.

"Sorry, you are…" Wu Qizheng leaned in to study the face of the four-armed monster, trying to see something in it.

However, the face of this monster remained shrouded in darkness, not even the soft light of magic could illuminate it, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female.

Yet the four-armed monster began to shrink back, almost curling up in the corner, only a small figure left, still emitting the crisp voice of a young girl.

"No, don’t look at me, don’t look at me…"

"Who are you really…" Wu Qizheng furrowed his brow, taking a step closer to the cell bars, wanting to see clearly.

"Lord Qizheng, please don’t—-" Li Gongde tried to stop him, but Wu Qizheng was already on guard and unwilling to listen.

"I am… I am…" The four-armed monster frantically covered its face with its hands, the delicate voice starting to sound tearful:

"I am… I am your wild dad! I told you not to look, look at your mom!"

The four-armed monster curled up in the corner suddenly pounced out, a strong wind swept by, and hit the prison fence.

With a loud clang, a faint light appeared on the fence, and faint electric lights flickered from within, obviously with protective barriers, not just an ordinary prison cell.

However, two sharp bone spurs grew from the palms of the four-armed monster’s chest, piercing through the fence in an instant, stabbing through Wu Qizheng’s waist and abdomen.

Wu Qizheng looked down at his waist and abdomen expressionlessly.

Then, he reached out with both arms, amidst the strange cries of the four-armed monster, through the gap in the fence.

The electric lights on the fence burst open again, Wu Qizheng’s arms turned black in an instant, and then his flesh and blood quickly regenerated…
