Chapter 785: Chapter 785 Ten Immortals
Light rain fell, accompanied by petals that were clear and transparent. There stood a white-robed male character, dashing as jade, the only flaw being his bald head, smooth and shiny.
His pupils were very special; they bore the symbol of “Wan ,” resplendent and vibrant as if immortal fire was burning within them, yet they possessed a penetrating, mighty force that could reach into the depths of one’s heart.
Who was this person? Not just Shi Hao, even Qi Daolin felt chills; this man was too terrifying. The kind of dao rhythm he exuded was indescribable, detaching from the mortal world, accompanied by an immortal breath.
He stood holding a flower, exuding an unparalleled elegance.
If an ordinary man were to be bald and holding a flower, it would certainly be nauseating, but he displayed an unmatched demeanor, interpreting the endless mysteries of the precious symbol.
“An Ancient Monk!” Qi Daolin’s pupils contracted as he gasped. A recollection of certain rumors came to him.
During the Ancient Immortal Era, there were such cultivators, and today’s Western Sect was said to have risen by referencing their teachings, acquiring their incomplete techniques, and thereby becoming one of the top paths.
After learning of this from Qi Daolin’s Divine Sense, Shi Hao couldn’t help but feel terror-stricken; this was too astonishing!
What realm was this Ancient Monk in?
Countless years had passed and he was still alive, doesn’t that mean he could possibly be a true–a real Immortal!
The sight witnessed today was too shocking, leaving both Qi Daolin and Shi Hao speechless, a coldness spreading from their heads to their feet, their hearts filled with immense reverence.
However, they did not feel any oppression; the white-robed Ancient Monk made no move against them, his gaze was tranquil, all that existed was a supreme demeanor that was above this mundane world.
Before the two could come back to their senses, another figure flew out from the sun-like radiant Bronze Coffin and stood mid-air.
Clad in a Daoist robe that fluttered, with lush hair draped over his front and back, his eyes deep, his body enshrouded by primal chaos mist, he stood high above, compelling an involuntary worship.
On closer inspection, this person evoked fear.
For in his eyes, there were scenes of the Sun rising and Taiyin setting, as well as the distressing visions of stars shattering and the Universe withering, causing one’s heart to tremble.
He seemed to have stepped through the river of time, having witnessed the vast ocean transform into Mulberry Fields, the change of eras.
In his hands, he held an Ancient Banner, shrouded in chaotic mist, giving anyone who saw it the impression that this artifact had the power to create worlds, its might boundless!
Qi Daolin was petrified, a bit stupefied, truly overwhelmed.
“Could this be the Daolord of Clear Tranquility?” He mumbled almost dreamily, his voice unclear, standing there, stunned.
Some have excavated Ancient Immortal Ruins and found records; there was once such an Immortal, claimed to be invincible and unrivaled, who perished in the Ancient Immortal Era.
This cultivator’s appearance was just like that, holding an Ancient Banner in his hand capable of splitting heaven and earth, embodying primal chaos, with limitless Mana.
When Shi Hao cautiously inquired and learned of the situation, he stood dumbfounded, incredulous. A true Immortal was still alive and had emerged again?
His hairs stood on end, a chill encompassing his entire body.
“It is said that Daolord of Clear Tranquility and the Thunder Emperor were master and disciple,” murmured Qi Daolin, still as if in a trance, what he witnessed before his eyes seemed unbelievable.
Shi Hao did not fully understand the Ancient Immortal, but he was familiar with the terms Clear Tranquility and Red Heaven, having heard of them long ago, carrying extraordinary significance for the heavenly passage gate.
“Shi!”
The Bronze Coffin erupted once again in radiant glory, with golden Magma flowing, and a young man with disheveled hair appeared, his gaze bewitching, descending like a supremely seductive Immortal.
This person, Qi Daolin did not recognize, ignorant of his origins.
The scene caused inexplicable panic and the tremor of the divine soul, the only consolation being that after the appearance of the three mighty beings, they did not target them but remained aloof and superior.
And it didn’t stop there; figures kept appearing, each with a peerless divine presence, looking down upon all living beings, their dao rhythm unimaginable.
Even as strong as Qi Daolin was, at this moment, he was dumbfounded, almost foolish, looking up at those people.
“Clang!”
Create Account No one knew how long it had been, but the lid of the Bronze Coffin closed on its own, with no more figures emerging, while the figures that had appeared earlier were already lined up in the air, forming a formidable array.
Counting carefully, there were exactly ten people.
Whether it was the white-robed Ancient Monk, Daolord of Clear Tranquility, or the figures that emerged later, they all had an indescribable aura. They did not release oppressive force, but they made people inherently submit, ready to prostrate themselves in worship.
Shi Hao stiffened his neck, struggling hard to endure. It was the same with Qi Daolin, whose cultivation was powerful; even he felt an immense pressure, trembling slightly as he resisted fiercely.
Both were too proud to submit even in the presence of such supreme beings, doing their utmost to resist and persevere.
“Weren’t they all… dead? How have they appeared again!” Shi Hao uttered with difficulty, his voice weak as a mosquito’s hum.
Qi Daolin was also puzzled; he believed the evidence shown by the excavated relics, saying, “There’s something strange going on!”
From the beginning to the end, these ten beings never looked at them, all gazing in one direction, as if they could see through the earth, break through the void, and foresee the future.
Finally, with a humming sound, the chaotic mist surged, and the ten figures soared into the sky.
“Go!”
Qi Daolin, having an epiphany, grabbed Shi Hao and followed, instantly reaching the ground.
“Boom!”
The ten figures, fragmented inch by inch in the sky, turned into ten beams of light, blazingly brilliant, illuminating the past, present, and future, shaking the heavens and earth.
“What’s going on?” Shi Hao was astonished, his heart trembling.
“They’re not living beings.” Qi Daolin spoke up, gazing at the high sky.
They were not true bodies of flesh; they were all light, splendorous and magnificent, including the Ancient Banner of Daolord of Clear Tranquility, which was not a tangible entity but a mass of light, fused together with him.
“What the hell… is this a matter of karma or a human being!?” Qi Daolin gnashed his teeth, thinking about the embarrassment he almost faced, his eyes ablaze like Divine Spears, and his hair flying wildly.
In the end, ten streaks of light sped towards the same direction and vanished at the edge of the sky.
“That direction is…” Qi Daolin’s complexion changed, even more turbulent than when he witnessed those people appearing.
“What’s wrong with the Daolord?” Shi Hao asked.
“That direction is the vast No-Man’s Land!” Qi Daolin’s expression was extremely serious, he took a deep breath, feeling a headache come on, even his temples throbbing.
What could happen? No one could say for sure.
“Are they still alive?” Shi Hao asked in shock.
“Impossible!” Qi Daolin shook his head, carefully perceiving that those ten figures were not living beings and had no will.
The two stood silent, gazing into the distance, unable to predict what kind of sudden event might occur or why this happened.
“We might have accelerated a certain process, not knowing whether it’s good or bad, maybe something will happen in the next few days. It’s said that the Three-life Copper Coffin is mysterious, tied to great Cause and Effect, and it seems to be true!” Qi Daolin let out a long sigh, his brow furrowed deeply.
Later, they returned underground, staring at the Bronze Coffin, silent for a long time.
“There’s still something in this coffin, right? It can’t have been just those ten streaks of light just now,” Shi Hao said after a long time.
“Yes, at least I saw others who haven’t emerged yet,” Qi Daolin nodded.
They stared at the Ancient Coffin, no longer wanting to act rashly.
Suddenly, a light flickered in the dark space in the distance, swaying as it approached this place.
“It’s that!” Shi Hao was excited, having seen that mysterious flame again.
It was only as big as a fist, very special, comprised of pure symbols, not seeming like godly flames, with an ancient aura and rich in dao rhythm.
Qi Daolin’s eyes were profound as he watched the flame, strong as he was, his brow furrowed, unable to make sense of it.
“Is this Chaotic Flame?” Shi Hao whispered.
“No!” Qi Daolin shook his head; he had never seen the Chaotic Flame but had read records of it on the bone texts, and it was certainly not like this.
“Immortal Fire?”
Qi Daolin, knowledgeable, notorious, a thief who learned from many, felt a headache as he couldn’t see through this flame; the more he looked, the more elusive it seemed.
“Is the formation of Fire Province related to it?” Shi Hao whispered.
At these words, Qi Daolin’s heart stirred. Fire Province was vast and boundless, conservatively estimated to span tens of millions of miles, perhaps even ten times larger. Could all this be because of a flame underground that caused spontaneous fires in the province?
“Try communicating with it using the Ancient Immortal ritual language I taught you, see if you can ask it to follow you.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao immediately took action.
However, the flame was calm, bright and clear, suspended in mid-air, confronting them without any change.
Shi Hao’s mouth was dry after talking for two hours, at last, his throat was smoking, and the flame hadn’t moved at all.
This annoyed him; he really wanted to grab it with a slap.
“Daolord, it’s not working, it’s your turn to take action, collect it with the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique, and then pass it on to me,” Shi Hao urged Qi Daolin to make his move.
Qi Daolin focused on the flame not far away, and after observing for a moment he nodded; he felt that the flame was very mysterious and worth exploring.
However, the moment he moved, the Bone Text just bloomed, and the flame sensed it, pouncing over instantly, incredibly fast.
The entire world suddenly became dazzling. The light from the flame was infinitely more intense than before, nearly blinding anyone who looked at it. Qi Daolin shouted in alarm, feeling something was terribly wrong!
This flame was too demonic, horrifying to the extreme, surely capable of burning giants to death.
His body lit up, intending to rush away with Shi Hao, but to his astonishment, the flame had already approached, incredibly fast, standing between the master and disciple.
The only reassurance for him was that the flame was targeting him and had not burned Shi Hao.
Qi Daolin didn’t think too much before soaring into the sky at lightning speed, leaving the underground world behind.
The intense blaze subsided, and the flame returned to its previous state, becoming gentle and suspended close in front of Shi Hao.
“Old man, you ran off so quickly, he… He left me behind here!” Shi Hao ground his teeth.
The fist-sized flame started to change, extending into a small tree about half a meter tall, composed entirely of symbols, and exceedingly mysterious.
Shi Hao’s eyes popped out on the spot. This small tree… how could it resemble the Willow Deity?
In an instant, the flame changed again, turning into a series of lightning bolts across the void, also made of symbols.
“Is it imitating the Thunder Emperor Technique?” his heart skipped a beat.
Then the flame changed once more, becoming a bird, flapping its wings, and when diving, transforming into a fish, circling around in the void.

“Giant Peng bird!” Shi Hao’s expression flickered. This flame responded to the laws he learned and the supreme precious symbols he encountered – was it imitating them or communicating with him?
