Chapter 493 – Deity

The ancient tree was tall and wide, and the branches were like old dragons . The translucent leaves were few in number, sparsely adorning the tree . The great dao’s aura swirled around this place .

This was an ancient tree that had lived for who knew how many years . Successive generations of deities all sat under this tree, bringing it more enlightenment and insight into the great dao .

Deities either passed away over time, or they entered the higher realms . The only thing that was unchanged was this old tree . It continued to take root here .

“I wish to see my father and mother . ” Shi Hao said . Even though he was experiencing great emotions, he didn’t shout loudly . He didn’t take action either and only spoke calmly .

In this place, he truly experienced a type of great dao that was like the heavens and the sensation of emptiness . He felt extremely close to the dao here, as if he could touch it just by reaching out his hand .

While sitting underneath the tree, his restlessness disappeared, and his anger dissolved . His mood gradually became peaceful . He was greatly affected by the ancient tree and the deity below it .

The deity sat with his legs crossed underneath the tree . He seemed aloof and detached from worldliness . However, that type of beauty and otherworldliness didn’t seem to belong to the mortal world . He was distant and unapproachable like a true immortal .

Shi Hao had never seen someone like this before . Just by sitting there, he could affect heaven and earth, turning this place into a divine land .

The flower petals were sparkling and translucent as they scattered down . This individual possessed an aura as if he truly transcended beyond everyone . He didn’t display an immeasurable divine might, nor did he use fear to suppress Shi Hao . What was there was only reality, a ‘true self’ that was displayed .

“A behavior that is only natural . You can go visit them . ” He said with his eyes still closed . The golden battle clothes were brilliant and gentle, not intimidating at all . His entire being looked like it was outside the world of mortals .

Shi Hao was astonished . The other party agreed just like that . He thought that there would be many troubles and had expected Immortal Mountain’s people to continuously obstruct him, preventing him from meeting with his parents .

“Please open up the formation then . ” Shi Hao spoke .

“I do not agree!” Right at this time, a tremendous sound transmitted over . It was like an enormous golden bell as it rumbled in a long and drawn out manner, shaking the entire valley .

Even the body of someone as powerful as Shi Hao began to tremble . This was definitely not a supreme expert . His magical force poured out like a tide in a violent manner . The manner seemed disdainful towards all else, aloof and lofty . .

Shi Hao didn’t see anyone, but he knew that this was a powerful peak level figure that did not have any kind intentions towards him!

“Qin Wu, you are still so domineering . ” The deity under the tree lightly sighed .

Five peaks rested side by side within the Immortal Mountain, towering like five fingers on the great earth . There was one peak that had an enormous bronze palace . It was incomparably grand and covered in green copper rust .

The one that voiced in opposition previously came precisely from this place . An individual in the bronze palace hall opened his eyes and stood up from the praying mat . His body flowed with a silver radiance that throbbed like an unfading sacred flame .

“Qin Yifan, I admit that you are a heaven warping genius, one of the best in the history of my Immortal Mountain . However, you have already entered the higher realms, and you have already separated yourself from my clan . Why do you still meddle in the affairs of the clan in the lower realm?

He pushed aside the rust-mottled palace gates and stood on top of the peak to overlook the divine valley . His eyes continuously flickered, and within his eyes, tens of thousands of creatures were living and dying, and starry streams flowed about . It was terrifying to the extreme .

Valley of the divine was right below Immortal Mountain’s Five Phase Peak . Hazy multicolored light fluttered about, and ancient medicines grew stalk after stalk . There were a few special beasts that were especially auspicious and peaceful .

However, under the gaze of this individual, everything seemed to look bleak . This place was filled with a harsh and desolate feeling .

Within the valley, Shi Hao was greatly shocked . That tremendous voice resounded through his mind, leaving him horrified . Was what he said true?

He couldn’t help but look towards that ancient tree . The one that was sitting there was like a buddha that smiled while holding a flower . He was exceptional and otherworldly as he sat under the translucent flower petals, untainted by the breath of mortals .

The deity below the tree had long entered the higher realms, so why could he still appear here?

“I am undergoing a mental journey and happened to stumble upon this matter . I wish to send him into the higher realms and take him on as my disciple . ” The deity under the tree spoke softly . The golden battle clothes on his body released a brilliant light .

“Rumor has it that your situation isn’t good, and you might die . Is this your own will, or is it the higher realms projection?” In front of the great bronze palace hall, Qin Wu stood tall while speaking indifferently .

“You didn’t die . With the descent of the great calamity, you borrow the dao to come here . You also wish to search for an opportunity?!” Qin Wu continued .

Shi Hao trembled . The things he experienced today was truly a bit strange . The deity he encountered first wasn’t his true body? He even came from the higher realms .

“It seems like it is rather troublesome . I can’t bring you away . ” The figure under the tree opened his eyes . Flower petals fluttered down, and each flake produced a reflection of him .

This was a mysterious and magnificent scene . All of the petals reflected the distant and powerful deity clad in golden battle clothes . Golden splendor flowed about .

The space here trembled, and it was accompanied with the rumbling of the great dao!

He finally took action . A golden diagram appeared, sweeping towards Shi Hao to bring him away together with it from this valley .

“No matter what, you cannot bring him away! Let me see whether you are a will left behind by him in the lower realm or if you are a projection from the higher realms . ” On top of Immortal Mountain and in front of the bronze palace hall, Qin Wu took a step outwards, releasing a booming sound . Heaven and earth immediately lost color, and thunderous sounds shook the skies .

In front of the bronze hall, there was an altar that was quite special . It was also formed from bronze, and there were a few shining traces of blood on it . It was left behind by a sacrifice that had been offered not too long ago .

At this moment, Qin Wu took action . He moved over a bronze cover that directly sealed this altar!

With a hong sound, heaven and earth seemed to have been isolated, the connection between the two severed .

Shi Hao had already pulled out his magical sword to resist that golden diagram, yet after the Immortal Mountain’s altar was sealed, Qin Yifan and that precious diagram directly faded .

“It was a projection from the higher realms as expected!” Qin Wu said .

He closed the bronze formation, cutting off the higher realms . It immediately cut off Qin Yifan’s figure, making his image greatly dim and hard to take action .

“Since you left the clan, why did you reappear?” Qin Wu shouted . Shi Hao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration . The deity below the tree was aloof and otherworldly and actually had this amount of skill, able to borrow the clan’s altar at any time . This also meant that he was truly stunning . Even when separated by a realm, he could still cast a projection here .

Weng

Suddenly, the sky trembled . The golden diagram that had grown dim reappeared and suddenly rushed over, wrapping around Shi Hao to bring him out of this place with it .

Chi

Shi Hao also took action . He was naturally unwilling to be forcefully brought away by someone . He had his own choice, and he wanted to stay behind to see his parents .

The country guarding sword was incomparably sharp, and the golden sword surged with multicolored light . It was as if sliced through space itself . It collided with the golden diagram to prevent it from sweeping through him .

However, this diagram drawing was extremely strange, as if it was a world of nothingness . The magical sword sliced inside, but it didn’t touch anything, as it it has struck empty air .

Hong!

Shi Hao decisively brought out the emperor imprint . Imperial draconic energy filled this place, and the heavens trembled . The entire valley distorted, as if it was going to collapse, the power that was produced exceeded all expectations .

The imperial draconic energy was quite special . It formed a protective curtain of light that prevented harm from coming onto Shi Hao .

“The fruit of the world, it truly contains a fantastic force . What a pity it is that my projection is becoming dim . ” The deity under the tree sighed . He was one of the strongest geniuses of the Immortal Mountain in all of its history .

At this moment, he stood up and walked towards Shi Hao .

“Qin Yifan, you dare disturb my Immortal Mountain? Audacious!” On the mountain peak, Qin Wu shouted loudly . He pointed outwards, and a silver light crashed down like a waterfall .

However, the with a gentle slash from the outstanding figure, the silver light was defeated in midair, unable to serve any use .

“Qin Wu, even though I am just a projected image, moreover an extremely faint one, I am still not someone who someone like you who hasn’t taken that step can defy . ” Qin Yifan said .

The golden battle clothes flickered, and the faint void image condensed a bit . He walked towards Shi Hao and said, “I hope you can take me on as your master . I will bring you to the higher realms . ”

“Not willing!” Shi Hao replied .

“The Immortal Mountain is not a place anyone can blaspheme against . Even if you were once a Qin disciple, as well as the strongest genius, if you go against us, we will still suppress and kill you!” Qin Wu shouted loudly .

His entire being shone, and with a weng long sound, he withdrew into the bronze palace . It was unknown what type of formation was activated, but it immediately made this ancient land seem different . A terrifying wave of aura was released .

Qin Yifan trembled . Even if he was a heaven warping talent, right now, he was still a bit shaken .

Chi

The grand Immortal Mountain shone . One of the mountain peaks scattered down an expanse of radiance that flew into the divine valley . It caused Qin Yifan to quickly retreat . All of the golden light around him flourished, and his battle clothes burned furiously .

“You did not take that step, but you’ve actually acquired Five Phase Mountain’s approval . No wonder no one more powerful was left behind to protect this place . ” Qin Yifan looked like he was facing a great opponent .

“After the calamity passed, I managed to escape with luck . ” Qin Wu said .

Then, he chanted an incantation . He knelt down within the palace hall and piously offered his sacrifice . The Immortal Mountain shone, and one of the peaks became shining and translucent . With an explosive sound, even more brilliant light descended .

Qin Yifan’s eyes became deep . In the end, with a wave of his golden sleeves, he collected the golden diagram and didn’t bring away Shi Hao . Instead, it wrapped around himself . Even though it was just a projected body, he still wasn’t willing to have it fall here .

Chi

Golden light flickered and flowers scattered down . He entered the void and disappeared .

Qin Wu didn’t dare to act carelessly and continued to offer sacrifices . One of Five Phase Mountain’s peaks shone with light that covered everything . Many formations were activated as well, and only after ensuring that Qin Yifan left did they gradually die down .

Silver radiance flickered . Qin Wu descended into the valley, and after looking at Shi Hao, he nodded and said, “As expected, your foundational bone is not ordinary and extremely rare . ”

Shi Hao didn’t say anything and calmly looked at him .

“Are you willing to stay behind in my Qin Clan?” Qin Wu asked .

“Not willing . ” Shi Hao still gave this response . He definitely wouldn’t go against his own wishes .

“After entering the mountains, do you still think you have the option of choice? Even if you didn’t come, I would have personally gone to convert you . ” Qin Wu said indifferently .

“The so-called act of the Immortal Mountain passing out a decree to invite me over was just to detain me?” Shi Hao asked .

“The one that wrote the decree is no longer present . If it was me, why would I have gone through all that trouble?” Qin Wu’s face was filled with chilly intent . “Killing my Immortal Mountain’s disciples was said and done, but you even killed two supreme experts . You’ve crossed the bottom line!”

“I want to meet my father and mother!” Shi Hao said . No matter what, he still truly, truly wished to see them .

“You can, and if you play your part, I won’t kill you, and I would even give you opportunities . ” Qin Wu waved his hand, opening the formations in part of the valley, sending Shi Hao in .

This was a special pure land where the vegetation was rich . There were five reservoirs here, and the liquid inside was sparkling and translucent as it flowed about .

“What is this place? Where are my parents?” Shi Hao asked .

“You will cultivate here first . These are the Nirvana Pools . If you are stunning enough, then you can transform here . ” Qin Wu said .

There were five ponds here, and all of them were different . An ancient monument stood in front of each of them, and different realms were carved on top: Blood Transformation, Heavenly Passage, Spiritual Transformation, Engravement, Formation Arrangement . They correspondingly represented five precious ponds .

This was the real core location of the Immortal Mountain . It could bring about nirvana and rebirth!
