Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Land of the Four Heavenly Pillars.

Near the South Gate Pillar, there existed a city naturally formed by the forces of creation.

This city was called Yimu Immortal City.

The entire city seemed to have evolved naturally. From a distance, the walls appeared lush and verdant, but up close, they were a complex web of thorny vines. Ambiguous wisps of colored mist intertwined into intricate patterns, signifying that the city walls were in fact made of intertwining spiritual trees. And the mists were the accompanying spiritual light of these trees.

These had the effect of confining enemies, providing resistance, and serving offensive purposes.

Moreover, these spiritual trees could support and grow with one another, especially in the face of enemies, where they could even form powers akin to combination formation techniques.

The city had no gates. After entering the city, one would see irregular yet perfectly fitting large stone blocks scattered across the ground like stars, followed by houses formed from the towering ancient trees and green vines. Venturing further, there was a pond with endlessly circulating water and a small bridge made of interlocking lotus leaves...

Inside Yimu Immortal City, there were not many cultivators compared to other places. One would have to travel several miles to encounter a cultivator residing in the city. However, without exception, those who lived in Yimu Immortal City were at the initial stages of immortality!

As for what the cultivators here wore, it primarily consisted of clothing made from wood armor, vine clothes, and leaf skirts.

Because these were obtained from the spiritual trees within the city itself, no refinement was necessary. If one wore them for a long enough time, they would become innately imbued with spirit and transform into protective magical treasures of considerable power.

And the most incredible thing was that these protective magical treasures could receive enhancements from the wearer's own cultivation path!

Some spiritual tree magical treasures could even continue to grow and become more powerful or develop mutations. For example, a water-attribute tree armor worn by a fire cultivator for a long time could potentially develop both water and fire attributes.

The reason for such wonders in Yimu Immortal City was because a True Immortal resided here!

The Greenwood Immortal!

At this very moment, as Gu Xuanyi was heading toward the Jiawu Realm and was instantly killed by the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, a lively mysterious light soared down from the central grand azure ancient tree within Yimu Immortal City.

When the mysterious light descended, a figure swiftly flew from afar and landed under the azure ancient tree.

This figure respectfully knelt towards the grand azure tree, "Greetings to my Master!"

This was a woman of stunning beauty.

Her figure was exquisite, and her leaf skirt revealed most of her splendid figure. However, she was enveloped in a flowing spiritual light, with an energy that was intermittently present and absent, creating illusions that evoked the image of a white lotus swaying in the wind.

She was a cultivator who had achieved the Three Confirmations!

Unlike those hasty Three Confirmation ancestors from the Jiawu Realm, this woman was a local cultivator of the Land of the Four Pillars, thus more genuine and authentic.

Her level of cultivation had reached nearly three thousand years.

And her years of cultivation were even more extensive, totaling more than five thousand years.

"In the end, the Ancestor of Sword Disciple Mountain belongs to a lineage of the Ancestor of the Dao. It doesn't look good that they have been annihilated under my very nose. It will trouble you to make a journey and guide the transmigration of those from Sword Disciple Mountain," boomed a voice from within the grand azure ancient tree.

The voice was deep and thunderous, but incredibly, it vanished after traveling a certain distance.

The beautiful woman responded, then asked, "Master, should your disciple investigate who was responsible? While those from Sword Disciple Mountain have lost their path to immortality and were rushed along in their progress, they all have the foundation of the Three Confirmations. Someone who made so many Three Confirmation cultivators unable to escape and perish on the spot might be a battle cultivator who cultivates the Way of Slaughter, seeking to break through to immortality and master the Earthly Fiend Orthodox Law..."

"No need. I only wish to have an explanation to offer when asked. That's all," the grand azure ancient tree replied with a resonant sound.

"Yes!"

The beautiful woman clearly understood her Master's intentions.

Having received her Master's command, she immediately left Yimu Immortal City and headed in the direction of Sword Disciple Mountain.

After all, the face of the Ancestor of the Dao still mattered, so when the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain ascended, they were neither as unbearable as those from Luoja Mountain nor as awkward as the ancestors from Upper Clear View or Western Tuo Mountain. The ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain even re-established the signboard of Sword Disciple Mountain in the Land of the Four Pillars.

However, at the beginning, the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain didn't actively display the signboard of the Ancestor of the Dao, because after their ascension, they were unable to make contact with the Ancestor of the Dao. Therefore, out of concern that using the Ancestor of the Dao's name without permission could displease him, they refrained.

Even though they didn't flaunt the signboard of the Ancestor of the Dao, they didn't conceal their cultivation lineage either.

And in the Land of the Four Pillars, there were few who didn't know that the "Absolute Immortal Sword" was the introductory chapter to the "Four Extinctions Divine Sword" technique created by the Ancestor of the Dao.

Thus, as long as the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain kept to themselves, no one else sought trouble with them. Even when competing for mortal offerings, the opposing sects would suggest setting up a competition with disciples to determine the final allocation, rather than directly confronting the ancestors of Sword Disciple Mountain with force.

One should know that those sects which competed with Sword Disciple Mountain for mortal offerings all had True Immortals in residence! Even if they didn't, they were connected to the Primordial Heavenly Realm!
