Aspiring to the Immortal Path C.880: Green Snake

Even though Tang Jie and Xu Miaoran had spent several hundred years living in that isolated dimension, to the people in the Celestial Maze Formation, only a little time had passed, so short that they were still battling with the Wandering Souls. If Tang Jie hadn't gone out to kill the serpent, they might have had the false impression that Tang Jie had gone in one second ago and then come out a second later.

The white-browed elder was furious to see Tang Jie leave, but there seemed to be a neverending flood of Wandering Souls, and it was impossible to kill them all in short order. In the middle of this tough battle, Tang Jie suddenly reappeared again.

The elder was startled, and then he crowed in delight, "Brat, let's see where you run off to this time!"

His hand penetrated through space to grab Tang Jie. Although he hadn't entered the Dao of Space, this grab had its own mysterious properties.

But Tang Jie simply stepped to the side, easily evading the claw. He casually replied, "This one has never offended this honored Immortal, so why do you attack me?"

The white-browed elder said, "The peasant has no crime, but harboring treasure is itself a sin! Hand over the treasure you got from the tomb and that demon, and I'll spare your life!"

On the side, Yan Beiqiu shouted, "Young Brother, don't listen to this old Whitebrow. Give your things to me and my Stellar Net Gate will ensure your safety. Not only that, we'll accept you into our sect. Having cultivated to this level, you must understand that being a wandering cultivator is not easy. My Stellar Net Gate has a Gold Immortal Ancestor and countless other Immortals. You can choose any one to be your master to instruct you in cultivation, at which point reaching Immortal Platform won't just be a dream!"

Yan Beiqiu clearly offered better conditions.

The green-robed scholar snorted. "What the Stellar Net Gate can offer, my Heaven's Equal Sect can offer as well."

"But without as much sincerity as my Stellar Net Gate!" the purple-clothed muscular man laughed. A human form appeared behind him, the man's Divine Soul manifestation. It loomed large like a mighty god, holding a bronze staff in his hand.

The soul manifestation of an Immortal Platform expert was a god!

This True Immortal's Primal Divinity made manifest raised the staff and pointed, upon which the staff transformed into a flood that surged toward the Wandering Souls. At the same time, the muscular man shouted, "Little Brother, come over here. I will protect you."

When it came to public relations, the Stellar Net Gate was somewhat more formidable than the Heaven's Equal Sect.

The staff blasted apart the Wandering Souls, and Tang Jie was amazed by the man's display of power.

This display of power was clearly a warning to Tang Jie.

Alas, his warning might have been useful against others, but Tang Jie didn't care at all.

Tang Jie simply smiled. "Right after I entered the hidden tomb, I was pushed out by a mysterious force, so I don't have any treasure to give you. The Stellar Net Gate and Heaven's Equal Sect are both good places, and this one is willing to join either. But I wonder if you still want me after you learn there's no treasure?"

He began to walk toward an asteroid behind him.

"We need to search you first," the white-browed elder barked. "Come over this instant!"

His shout was imbued with divine power that erupted in Tang Jie's mind. His mind grew dizzy, and he started to walk over to the elder.

Fortunately, Little Three appeared and shouted at Tang Jie.

It was a sharp wail, piercing into Tang Jie's mind and instantly clearing his confusion. In shock, he realized that he had been too careless and fallen into the white-browed elder's trap. He had somehow taken control of his Divine Soul. Thankfully, Little Three, with his ability to communicate with souls, was able to awaken him.

Only now did Tang Jie realize how big the gap was between him and True Immortals.

He could only move wherever he could see, while these people could attack whatever they could see. Even when they were separated by a sea of Wandering Souls and a vast distance, they could still easily kill him.

With his mind clear, Tang Jie didn't delay, immediately taking a step and appearing on an asteroid. "This lowly one is too much of a coward to compete with my elders, so I will be taking a step back for now."

As he rode the asteroid away, he put up layers of barriers around himself, locked down his Violet Palace, and focused his will so that the white-browed elder had no opening to exploit.

"Damn it!" the elder bellowed in rage.

"Let me catch this boy," the scholar grunted, shooting a green light at Tang Jie.

As the green light howled through the air and rapidly closed the distance, it suddenly turned into a snake.

Tang Jie didn't dare to underestimate anything a True Immortal threw at him, taking out the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace. Nine divine treasures flew out of the furnace, condensing a beam of divine light and firing it at the snake.

The combined power of nine divine treasures was immense and majestic.

But the green snake seemed to not feel it, putting up a green barrier and pushing through the rainbow beam, a savage look in its eyes. Its gaze seemed rather similar to that of its owner, the green-robed scholar.

Tang Jie slapped the Myriad Yin Yang Furnace again, and eighteen divine treasures emerged, adding their power to the beam, but this still couldn't stop the snake.

27, 36, and finally 108 divine treasures were put into the fray. This divine beam that could even kill an Earth Immortal was just barely able to stop the green snake.

But at that moment, the scholar's eyes flashed, and then the snake hissed and suddenly forced its way past the beam, lunging straight at Tang Jie.

Just when it seemed like Tang Jie would be caught, countless rainbow threads of light erupted from his body, instantly weaving themselves into a majestic palace.

The Infinite Palace!

The green snake slammed into the Infinite Palace. While the Infinite Palace could not be called a supreme defensive Dao Art, its defenses were not so casually broken. The green snake had a small part of a True Immortal's power, but it was still at the Earth Immortal level, so it couldn't break through with a single strike.

At the same time, the shining golden Sovereign Blade sliced toward the snake!

Tang Jie truly couldn't hold back against a True Immortal, not even considering that he wasn't even his complete self at the moment, making it all the more necessary to use everything he had. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

The Sovereign Blade cut right through the snake's barrier, and it proceeded to chop the snake in half.

"Ah!" the green-robed scholar shouted, throwing up blood.

This golden blood was devoured by some Wandering Souls, which immediately transformed into even stronger ghosts that attacked the cultivators.

But compared to the transformation of the Wandering Souls, the green snake being cut in half was a far greater shock, this feat stunning even Yan Beiqiu and the purple-clothed man. But this matter wasn't over just yet. As the barrier was destroyed and the snake was cut in half, the divine beam from the furnace once more took aim. There was nothing to stop the terrifying power of 108 divine treasures this time, so the snake howled in pain and immediately transformed into thousands of smaller snakes that scattered in all directions.

"Trying to run?" Tang Jie snorted. He waved the Sovereign Blade, creating a torrent of ethereal swords.

Skyrend Swordfall!

Tang Jie was truly going all-out, and this was just to deal with a green snake this True Immortal had casually thrown out.

A thousand phantom swords rushed forward like a celestial waterfall.

The Skyrend Swordfall had its name for a reason, and when coupled with the unstoppable killing power of the Sovereign Blade, it served as one of Tang Jie's strongest trump cards. Even the Flame Celestial Sovereign hadn't forced him to use this combination. But this move that was only some percentage of a True Immortal's power had made Tang Jie use it.

Once the waterfall of blades had passed, the divine beam also ceased. Not a single snake had survived, and their spiritual energy gathered together into a nail shaped like a green snake.

Tang Jie picked it up and found that it was only a hidden weapon on the level of a divine treasure. However, when empowered by a True Immortal's Divine Will, it was capable of displaying a terrifying might.

In the middle of his shock, he still remembered to shake his hand, upon which the Sovereign Blade dissolved into countless golden flakes.

Tang Jie did this on purpose to trick his foes into thinking that the treasure he had used to destroy the green snake was only a one-time-use item, thus concealing the secret of the Sovereign Blade. In truth, Tang Jie didn't think this would actually work, but he did it out of habit.

In the Rosecloud Domain, his high status and peerless prestige allowed him to act frankly and openly. But in the Vast Wilderness World, where numerous Immortals had gathered, every step held potential danger, and everywhere he looked were existences stronger than him. As a result, his old cunning and cautious habits started to return, the scheming Tang Jie once more taking the fore.

From this, one could see that it was the environment that changed the person. A person's personality, thoughts, and methods were closely connected to their circumstances.

Tang Jie collected the shattered Sovereign Blade into his sleeve, putting on a reluctant appearance. As he was flexing his acting skills, he fled away on the asteroid.

The green-robed scholar and Yan Beiqiu were both dumbfounded.

Yan Beiqiu suddenly covered her mouth and giggled. "Who would have thought that Yu Hualong's Green Snake Nail would fail? Not only that, you even lost one of them. With one of the 36 Green Snake Nails missing, your Dracoform Astral Formation will be impossible to lay down. Hahaha, we must celebrate this!"

The green-robed scholar was still in shock.

Just as Yan Beiqiu had said, though one divine weapon was a trifle to a True Immortal, a lost Green Snake Nail preventing him from laying down a formation was a big deal.

The scholar was so enraged that Tang Jie had taken one of his nails that he threw up blood again, once more causing several Wandering Souls to transform.

Whitebrow Shao snorted, "Just a Soul Projection brat. He just managed to survive thanks to some treasures he found, yet he dares to act so arrogantly!"

In his view, Tang Jie must have found the sword he had used to slice through the barrier and chop apart the green snake in the Immortal Emperor's tomb. Alas, it seemed to have shattered after doing its job. However, the Immortal Emperor's tomb couldn't only have had that sword. There were probably even better treasures, or else he couldn't explain how Tang Jie could both survive a True Immortal's attack and even seize a treasure.

Whitebrow Shao said, "But so what if he's gained some of the Immortal Emperor's legacy? There's only one exit. We'll just go back and stop it up!"

"That's right!" Yu Hualong snarled.

Because of the Green Snake Nail, he could never let Tang Jie go.

Yan Beiqiu chuckled. "If that's the case, we'll join in too. In my view, there's no need for us to keep fighting. We can evenly split the spoils."

"Of course," Whitebrow Shao replied.

The two sects had fought for more than ten thousand years, with neither coming out ahead. Thus, it was better to split the profits rather than fight.

"However, Big Brother's Green Snake Nail will have to be considered as an artificial Dao armament when it comes to calculating the share," Yan Beiqiu added.

Yu Hualong almost threw up blood again, for Yan Beiqiu was saying that the Heaven's Equal Sect was essentially losing out on half a Dao armament's worth of loot, but there was nothing he could do about it.
