Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 828: Chapter 820 Eternal God

Bathed in white light, Lin Canghai continued to tremble all over, looking as if in pain, yet the ferocious smile on his face seemed excited.

He seemed to be anticipating something!

The other Great Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance also sensed something was amiss and took action one after another. One by one, streams of mana were cast onto Lin Canghai but were dissipated by the black aura surrounding him.

All the Great Cultivators felt as if their mana was falling into an abyss, instantly cutting off their connection and leaving them unable to discern how deep it truly was. This made them feel as if facing a formidable enemy, prompting them to scatter and encircle Lin Canghai.

An Zizai also sensed something was off with Lin Canghai and stepped forward, saying, “Withdraw your Divine Skills, let us handle the aftermath from here.”

Zhuang Xian did not arrogantly hold back either, immediately dispelling the Supreme Dao Mixed Yuan Plate,

only to see the black aura around Lin Canghai quickly converge into a door, a black door as tall as one hundred zhang, and as it opened from the right, waves of silver light poured out from within.

An overwhelming might enveloped the entire Celestial Spirit Great World, startling countless cultivators.

In the boundless chain of mountains, a strong man meditating under a waterfall opened his eyes, his shirtless body adorned with two red dragon patterns that writhed.

He lifted his gaze, frowning, with a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He was none other than Son of Heaven Jie Yan.

“This aura…” Son of Heaven Jie Yan murmured to himself, seemingly recalling something, his gaze becoming increasingly piercing.

He was not alone, more and more beings of immense power were startled, even the many dojos in the Outer Heaven could sense this vast aura.

Before the World Gate.

The Celestial Spirit God opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through, looking towards the Celestial Spirit Great World.

“What is that?”

It was the first time he had felt such an aura, his instincts told him it was very dangerous, and he was certainly not its match.

He did not rise to act, not because he was afraid, but because there were stronger Immortal Gods within the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch and the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave moved swiftly, appearing before the black door even before it fully opened.

Bang!

Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s right palm pressed against the black door, forcefully holding it shut.

The appearance of Taiyi Immortal Monarch and the Seventy-Two Immortals startled the Great Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, and someone soon recognized their identities, exclaiming, “Immortal Gods!”

As these words were spoken, instead of feeling relieved, the other Great Cultivators grew even more tense, wondering what sort of cause and effect had provoked the Immortal Gods to intervene?

The Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave each possessed an extraordinary aura, far surpassing the Great Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, but compared to Taiyi Immortal Monarch, their aura was significantly weaker.

The world fell silent, everyone held their breaths and fixed their gaze on Taiyi Immortal Monarch.

An Zizai also refrained from taking action, watching Taiyi Immortal Monarch silently, for he had met Taiyi Immortal Monarch before and knew he was no ordinary Immortal God.

Zhuang Xian was not amazed by the appearance of Immortal Gods but instead, his gaze remained complex as he looked at Lin Canghai.

Seeing Lin Canghai trembling amidst the black aura, images of them years ago drinking and enjoying themselves, resolving grudges with pleasure, floated into his mind. Those joyous images were shattered by scenes of their numerous battles, returning to reality where they had completely turned against each other.

“Brother Zhuang, there are so many suffering people in this world, how can you save them all? Why not find the source of the suffering and uproot it, even if it can’t bring absolute peace, it can at least spare more Mortal Spirits from suffering.”

Lin Canghai’s words from the past echoed in his ear, filling Zhuang Xian’s heart with sorrow.

Even with the Immortal Gods intervening, no matter the outcome, he and Lin Canghai had ultimately parted ways.

In his heart, Lin Canghai was his best friend, he would be saddened, but never would he relent.

He had to save the innocent cultivators captured by Lin Canghai!

At this moment.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s face changed slightly as he held his hand against the black door. His arm trembled slightly, and the door began to open once more, a sight that made the Seventy-Two Immortals of Golden Cave and all onlookers tense.

More and more Great Cultivators arrived, witnessing Taiyi Immortal Monarch suppressing the black door, they dared not act rashly.

Boom——

Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s aura suddenly erupted, shaking the heavens and earth, the clouds churned, and the Celestial Dao Light Layer above the Celestial Spirit Great World burst forth with innumerable rays of light, penetrating the sea of clouds and entering Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s body.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s aura rose steadily, but his arm continued to tremble, unable to completely resist the black door.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort came from the black door, causing Taiyi Immortal Monarch to leap back, putting distance between him and the door. Not just him, but the Seventy-Two Immortals also backed away.

The black door opened with a roar, inside shone a silver light, revealing a majestic figure within. No one could clearly see his true appearance. He seemed to be wearing a wide robe, with three heads and wild long hair, resembling a Rakshasa, horrifying and terrifying.

When everyone saw this figure, they only felt an endless cold force hitting them, making them feel as if they were in a freezing cellar.

Their greatest fear was losing control over their own bodies.

No Divine Sense.

No mana.

No strength.

It was as if their souls were detaching from their bodies, and even their souls could not move freely.

An Zizai and Zhuang Xian felt this too, their eyes widened, cold sweat streaming down their faces.

Their gazes were fixed tightly on the mysterious figure within the black door. In broad daylight, the mysterious figure standing in the silver light appeared so terrifying, bringing an extreme sense of horror and oppression to everyone.

The Great Cultivators who had come to support were also petrified upon seeing him.

For a moment, the heavens and earth fell into a bizarre scene, as people continued to fly in and then stopped, staring blankly at the black door like all the others.

Lin Canghai seemed to have been drained of all energy, his arms hung down, his entire body swaying precariously, yet the black aura held him aloft, preventing him from falling.

He only felt his eyelids were so heavy, trying hard to keep them open, his gaze landed on Zhuang Xian down on the ground afar.

Looking at Zhuang Xian, images from the past similarly flashed through his mind.

“Brother Lin, seeking the root of disaster is a form of escapism, do what you can do, that is enough.”

Zhuang Xian’s words echoed in his ears, a self-mocking smile tugged at his mouth.

Indeed, it was a form of escapism.

Lin Canghai knew he was never a good person, helping Mortal Spirits was merely to fill the inner terror and unease, thinking that by doing so, he could balance merit and sin, in line with the Heavenly Dao.

But now he no longer believed in the Heavenly Dao.

He wanted to believe in the Eternal Path.

He prayed in his heart to the Eternal Deity, asking to kill everyone present, but not to kill Zhuang Xian.

He never believed in the existence of true good people until he met Zhuang Xian.

Originally from Wushi, Zhuang Xian could have enjoyed everything, yet he insisted on journeying the world, enduring so many hardships, doing good deeds that offered no reward.

Zhuang Xian, standing behind An Zizai, saw Lin Canghai’s gaze, and understood his eyes.

But now he was powerless to resist, and compared to Lin Canghai, he was more worried about the calamity the mysterious figure inside the black door might bring.
