Chapter 607: Chapter 420: Has Celestial Master Xu Become An Immortal?_3
He was surrounded by brilliant Buddha light, and a golden lotus flew above his head, shattering the lightning before flying over to him.
Among the remaining people, Black and White Impermanence looked at each other but did not come forward, instead retreating to leave the area.
Master Chen from the Wudang Sect, Zhao Wuji from the Quanzhen Sect, Master Yimei from the Maoshan Sect, and the ancestral founders of the Wang Clan, Cui Clan, and the Elder of the Bloodblade Sect tried to force their way through but could not break the lightning and could only stand 800 meters away to watch!
“Greetings to the honorable immortals!”
Wang Hou, Divine Master Chengming, and others cup their fists in salute one after another.
Lord Thunder glanced at Wang Hou and exclaimed, “What strong martial arts, what strong luck, you must be Wang Hou, right? Not bad, not bad…carrying the fate of the nation, in ancient times, you would have definitely been an emperor. I’m afraid there will be one more true martial immortal in the world soon!”
He then looked at Divine Master Chengming with astonishment and said, “With Daoist Master’s cultivation, you should be able to ascend at any time. Why are you still in the mortal world?”
Grandmaster Chengming laughed and replied, “What use is there for an old and lonely Daoist like me in heaven? There are people I care for in the mortal world, so naturally, I should stay here.”
He looked at Xu Yang, his eyes flashing with amazement for a moment before shaking his head and sighing, “It’s really a case of others being better than oneself… I’ve practiced for over 600 years before comprehending Immortal Daoist, but this young man has already gotten a glimpse of Immortal Daoist at such a tender age… I reckon he won’t take long to ascend either.”
Lord Thunder smiled and said, “Even if Celestial Master Xu becomes an immortal, he probably won’t ascend to the Heavenly Court. More likely, he would return to the Underworld to continue the family business.”
As they talked, Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes on the small mountain.
He took a long breath and sighed. Glancing at the remaining 6.6 million merit points, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss. Expending such a large amount of merit points, he had only barely touched the threshold of “Immortal” and condensed a single complete “rule of Immortal Daoist” inside his body.
“Sigh!”
He couldn’t help but sigh deeply, lamenting, “It’s difficult to become an immortal, so difficult… Now I finally understand the meaning of this saying.”
“…”
Everyone at the foot of the mountain fell silent.
Xu Yang got up, patted the dust off his bottom, flew down the mountain, and asked, “Lord Thunder, is the heavenly punishment over?”
Lord Thunder said, “It’s over.”
“Since it’s over, let’s go back.”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Let’s go… I’ll treat you to Wu City’s breakfast and sheep soup.”
Lord Thunder and the Lightning Goddess were not about to miss the chance to experience the mortal world, having rarely descended from the heavens.
Following Xu Yang to Wu City, they enjoyed the local noodles and sheep soup before wandering around the shopping mall. It was only then, with reluctance, that they said farewell to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang, on the other hand, gathered everyone back at the funeral home and said, “Where were we before? Nuclear weapons, right? Since we can’t bomb the Wangwu Ghost Market with nuclear weapons, we’ll have to rely on manpower.”
“Rely on manpower?”
Someone’s eyes flashed, and he asked, “Celestial Master Xu, do you mean…?”
“As soon as the Netherworld Demons were born, we killed a few of them. They must be worried about being targeted by us again, so they occupied the Wangwu Ghost Market as a breeding ground to recuperate and wait until they regain their peak strength before causing havoc in the human world again.”
Xu Yang’s face turned solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice, “From what I know, the Netherworld Demons need to devour fresh blood to recover their strength. In that case… They will definitely leave the Wangwu Ghost Market at some point. I’ve decided to go to the Wangwu Ghost Market and block its entrance. When they come out one by one, I’ll kill them. When they come out in pairs, I’ll kill them in pairs!”
