Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

The Avatar of the Hell King's Primordial Spirit was completely bewildered this time.

Before coming, he had thought of what situations he might encounter and made many guesses.

Yet, he never imagined he would encounter such a situation, facing a great existence beyond the Dark Calamity!

In front of such a great existence,

The Avatar of the Hell King's Primordial Spirit knelt down without hesitation at the first moment.

And actively opened his mind, expressing submission towards the Void Sovereign.

The choice of the other party made Su Ping slightly surprised, yet upon reflection, it was reasonable.

This Hell King, as an old Saint in the Holy Domain,

As long as he still had the resolve not to be subordinated before becoming a Saint, seeking the Grand Dao at all costs!

This Hell King would never have been unwilling to take that last step all along.

Although because of the precedent set by the Dark Calamities, the Saints realized how terrible the consequence of pursuing the Grand Dao could be.

However... giving up due to extreme danger also lost the original heart of oneself.

The Hell King met the Void Sovereign, henceforth adding a supreme Void Empress to his heart.

After speaking everything he knew exhaustively,

He returned to the Holy Domain with a face full of reverence.

As for whether the Hell King would change his mind after returning,

Su Ping was not worried.

Obtaining the intelligence from such an old Saint of the Holy Domain was already an unexpected joy.

Having an additional dark chess would naturally be excellent.

If it failed, the Hell King himself would destroy his own Primordial Spirit Avatar.

Su Ping wouldn't mind either.

However, the worst outcome did not appear.

Su Ping could feel that after the Hell King's Avatar returned home, the connection did not disappear.

Only that an invitation three days later was rejected by the other side.

In Su Ping's view, this Avatar was probably reclaimed by his original self.

Only this way could prevent the Avatar's subjective consciousness from responding to the invitation.

Yet, the other side still maintained this contact without severing it.

Clearly, this Hell King was caught in a dilemma.

His original heart was likely still inclined towards the Holy Domain.

Only after knowing that the other side had an existence beyond the Dark Calamity level,

The Hell King's original self evidently also wanted to leave a way out for himself.

...

Immortal Cultivation World, North King's Time Domain, Tao Alliance Headquarters.

The realm of the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven where the Heavenly Mending Sect resided suddenly quaked on this day.

The four Heavenly Gates guarding the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven,

At this moment, all cracked open from the middle simultaneously.

The four Heavenly Gates were one of the Tao Alliance's greatest trump cards in the Tao Realm.

With a status similar to those Tathagata Bodhi Divine Trees in the Buddha Realm.

At this time, with all four Heavenly Gates cracking, even this Cave Heaven World which had been stable for tens of thousands of years began to falter.

"What is going on!"

The Taoist elders who were cultivating in the Turquoise Pool were all awakened, rising into the air one by one with astonished expressions.

"Could it be an attack by the Dark Calamity?"

A white-haired elder, who served as a high official of the Heavenly Court this time, flew over from afar, emitting the aura of a seasoned Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In an instant, he stabilized the hearts of the cultivators around him.

Upon seeing this white-haired elder, a middle-aged Taoist quickly flew up, saluted, and said:

"No traces of Dark Calamity contamination have been detected invading this realm."

"It seems..."

The middle-aged Taoist hesitated, then under the severe gaze of the white-haired elder, he smiled bitterly and said:

"It more resembles… human disaster."

"Someone has sabotaged the array core and used things beyond our understanding to cause malfunctions at all four Heavenly Gates."

"Outrageous!"

The white-haired elder was furious, opened his mouth and spat out an azure treasure bead that flew into the sky, forming an azure moon that stabilized the precarious space.

Then, this white-haired elder took out a treasured sword, just as he was about to direct the grand array of the entire Cave Heaven World, trying to regain control by harnessing the remaining array power.

"Master, I'm sorry."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside the white-haired elder's ear.

This voice sent a shiver through the white-haired elder.

Soon after, the white-haired elder discovered beneath the Earth Vein Core below the Turquoise Pool,

The Direct Disciple he had arranged to guard that place out of trust,

Took out a pitch-black dagger, piercing through layers of protective barriers, stabbing into the Earth Vein Core.

Causing the entire array to collapse once again.

Also causing the white-haired elder who just chose to host the array to suffer from the array's backlash.

In the blink of an eye, his body became shriveled, like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin.

His white hair also fell completely.

However, in the end, this was an old school Heavenly Immortal in the Taoism.

Though in such a state, he was still alive and even able to drive the Innate Treasure in his hands to launch a counterattack.

The treasured sword left the elder's wrist, transforming into a jiao dragon composed of azure energy, pouncing downward.

With a roar, the landlord actively split the land open, revealing the Direct Disciple deep below.

Roar!

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth wide, watching as it was about to swallow this sect traitor whole.

The Direct Disciple's body suddenly manifested with lines of Immortal Text.

Following that, a projection clad in Emperor's attire appeared before the Direct Disciple, meeting the oncoming Azure Dragon head-on.

With a disdainful smile, this Emperor projection opened his mouth and, with a single gulp, swallowed the entire Azure Dragon into his abdomen!

"Hmm, a Supreme Treasure refined with the souls of twelve Mahayana Realm jiao dragons?"

"Quite a technique, but the quality of the raw materials is lacking, so the taste is also somewhat less."

The moment after the Emperor projection commented, he appeared beside the elder.

Looking at the elder's expression of astonishment and uncertainty.
