Cultivation: Being Immortal - Chapter 220
Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom
Li Yuncheng is showing signs of going mad, but Gu Pingbo still has no intention of backing down. Now it’s their Immortal Alliance’s fight for their lives – either they stay here forever or they go out and live freely.
For cultivators, losing their spiritual power and strength is even more painful than death. So even if Li Yuncheng gets angry, they are still determined to fight to the end.
And for Li Yuncheng, the Li Family of the Divine Kingdom is his obsession. He was born during the peak of the Divine Kingdom and was influenced by the family’s ideals since childhood. When he was young, he felt proud of the Divine Kingdom and followed the footsteps of his ancestors, fighting for the Divine Kingdom, expanding its territory. At that time, the Li Family of the Divine Kingdom was still known as heroes of the human race.
Until the expansion of the Divine Kingdom hindered the power of others and when the demon race counterattacked, the human race betrayed the Divine Kingdom. It suffered attacks from both inside and outside, and although they ultimately survived, the losses were devastating. All the high-ranking officials of the Li Family, except him, died in battle, and the Li Family was on the verge of extinction.
In order to protect the Li Family, Li Yuncheng willingly gave up everything and became a Formation Spirit to protect the Divine Kingdom. This protection lasted for tens of thousands of years, but no matter how much time passed, the Li Family was still his obsession. If their existence was threatened, he would go mad.
“Senior Gu, be careful, he’s about to go mad.”
At this moment, Lin Jiang also rushed into the palace, activating his golden core at full speed to absorb the spiritual energy within.
“It’s okay.”
Gu Pingbo shook his head, he was Lin Jiang’s last move in Jingdu City.
Lin Jiang had a deep plan in Jingdu City, and Jade Concubine was the most important part of it. Over the years, he and Jade Concubine had managed to handle the other concubines in the emperor’s harem. With Jade Concubine’s favor, he almost controlled the entire palace. That’s why he was sent to the palace early, and with the spiritual energy of the palace, he had already regained his strength.
Now he was the most important part of the Immortal Alliance plan, he couldn’t retreat, he had to force Li Yuncheng to submit.
“Boom…”
Li Yuncheng went completely insane, attacking Gu Pingbo frantically. Lin Jiang and the others quickly distanced themselves from Gu Pingbo. It wasn’t that they betrayed Gu Pingbo, but their cultivation hadn’t fully recovered, and going up against Li Yuncheng would be suicide.
Gu Pingbo was at the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. Although he was continuously being attacked, he didn’t immediately fall. Li Yuncheng’s power was too scattered.
Lin Batian, Zhou Huaiying, and others held most of their attention, while he still had to protect the descendants of the Li family, restrain Yi Zhibai and others, and even deal with the ongoing battles across the Divine Kingdom. The power left on Gu Pingbo was almost depleted.
“Gu Pingbo, hold on. He’s almost done.”
Zhou Huaiying told Gu Pingbo that the Immortal Alliance has taken control of around 20 or 30 spiritual mountains. They are now using methods to pollute the spiritual veins. The longer it goes on, the weaker Li Yuncheng becomes, and it will be advantageous for them if they keep dragging it out.
Not only is Li Yuncheng in a difficult situation, but also outside the Heavenly Wall, people from the four major families have received news of Chen Zheng’s death. They are gathering their skilled individuals and eyeing the Heavenly Wall Divine Kingdom.
“Elders, it has been confirmed that the power of the Heavenly Wall is extremely weak, nearly nonexistent.”
A Formation Master from one of the four major families spoke to the two elders. They received news of Chen Zheng’s death and already knew that there would be major changes within the Divine Kingdom.
“Chen Zheng is dead, and now we have no more reservations. We must avenge Chen Zheng and launch a strong attack.”
“We will launch a strong attack, defeat Li Yuncheng, and wipe out the Li Family of the Divine Kingdom, all to avenge Chen Zheng.”
The high-ranking members of the four major families all agreed. Immediately, the people from the four major families joined forces, forming a formation and launching an attack on the Heavenly Wall.
·······
“*Sound effect: ‘pfft’*”
When the first attack from the four major families came, Li Yuncheng’s figure was directly shattered, despite his quick reformation, he still felt the weakening of his power.
“Stop, everyone stop!”
Lin Batian was the first to react, shouting at Zhou Huaiying and the others. Zhou Huaiying and the others were skeptical but slowly stopped.
“Li Yuncheng, come out!”
“What do you want to do?”
“Now I’ll give you two choices. Either die, not only yourself, but also the extinction of the Lee family. I can assure you that not a single Divine Kingdom citizen with Lee bloodline will survive. The second choice is to preserve the Lee family.”
“What is the cost of preserving the Lee family?”
“Acknowledge me as the master and establish a Master-servant Contract.”
Lin Batian said calmly. As soon as these words came out, Li Yuncheng’s face turned pale, while Zhou Huaiying and the others had different expressions.
“Lin Batian, who would have thought you had such big ambitions?”
Someone angrily shouted at Lin Batian, and now they finally realized that he had used all of them. Such cunning strategies, what a frightening schemer.
“So what? It’s only natural to seek wealth and fortune at great risk. I deserve it.”
“Such bold words, Lin Batian. Sorry, but I’ll have to seek wealth and fortune at great risk too. I only need to establish an equal contract.”
Zhou Huaiying immediately sneered, knowing that if Li Yuncheng, this Formation Spirit, could be used, it would be extremely valuable. It could ensure the safety of any mountain gate, making a force worry-free and not needing to assign skilled experts to guard the gate.
“Why do you dare to challenge me?”
“Just because I am Void Achieving and you are Soul Changing, Lin Batian, are you really going to fight me?”
“Hah, what’s so great about Void Achieving? You’re just a poor man, Li Yuncheng. Do you even know about Mountain Spirit?”
“Do you have a Mountain Spirit?”
“Of course, I never fight without preparation, let’s make a Master-servant Contract, I’ll give you a Mountain Spirit, your power will greatly increase, no one can break the Heavenly Wall.”
Lin Batian said. Mountain Spirit is a very precious treasure, it is very important and useful for a spiritual being like Li Yuncheng, enough to instantly restore his peak strength.
“Li Yuncheng, it’s better to make them not take action, otherwise I will destroy the Mountain Spirit, and everyone will scatter.”
Lin Batian saw Zhou Huaiying and a few Soul Changing individuals exchanging glances, immediately exposing their intentions. Zhou Huaiying and his group wanted to take Lin Batian’s Mountain Spirit.
As soon as the words were spoken, the pressure on Zhou Huaiying and the others returned to its previous level, making them hesitant to make any reckless moves. If Lin Batian and Li Yuncheng teamed up, they might not be able to win.
“Zhou Huaiying, don’t worry, I have no intention towards you. I’m sure you’ll be able to make it out. Just listen to me in advance, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless. Chen Zheng is already in the Tao Achieving period, can you surpass him?”
“Hmph.”
Zhou Huaiying gave a cold snort, no longer saying much. His plan had been exposed and he no longer had a chance for a surprise attack. He had witnessed Lin Batian’s strength and it would be difficult to defeat him casually.
“Li Yuncheng, you only have ten breaths to consider, either die or sacrifice yourself for the Li family once again. Your time is running out, ten, nine…”
Lin Batian pushed Li Yuncheng to his limit, leaving him in a difficult situation. The attacks from outside the formation grew stronger and stronger, and he struggled to defend himself. If there were more attacks from within the formation, he would undoubtedly die. If he died, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Lee family, who had imprisoned Zhou Huaiying and others for centuries, to be annihilated.
“Three, two…”
“Boom!”
Before Lin Batian could finish counting, the Heavenly Wall was on the verge of collapsing, and the crowd even saw members of the four major families.
“I promise you.”
Under intense pressure, Li Yuncheng yielded to Lin Batian. As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Batian flicked his hand, and a beam of light flew towards Li Yuncheng. Li Yuncheng opened his mouth and sucked in the light, allowing a powerful surge of energy to burst forth. The cracks in the sky slowly disappeared, and it became clear that the Mountain Spirit was indeed incredibly strong.
