A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1401-Chapter 1600)

“How can this matter relate to the Black Feather Tribe? At the time, the Black Feather Tribe weren’t only lacking a holy master, but it also faced powerful enemies and took the initiative to merge with our tribe. We hadn’t forced them.” The young woman said with a casual tone.

Old Man Zhu chuckled and said, “Those matters happened so long ago, who truly knows what actually happened. Since you’ve rejected my clan’s kind intentions, we’ll have to see if your clan’s holy disciples can make it through the earth abyss trial. If they fail, don’t blame me if several branches form a council of elders and discuss the proposal to dismantle your clan. Don’t forget that our Chi Rong race isn’t the only one interested in your clan.”

A charming young woman looked over to them with a sweet smile and said, “Brother Zhu, your esteemed clan has become amongst the top three in strength among the seventy-two branches. There is no need to be so overbearing in your pursuit to consume the Tian Peng Race. Could it be you rush to forcefully contend with the Jiu Yue Race?”

“Lady Qui, don’t speak such rubbish. When did anybody from my clan say that?” When the old man heard her, his face greatly changed.

Elder Qui smiled and thought to say more when heavenly music began to play from the direction of the mountain top. The sky’s color then flickered and became more gorgeous.

They hastily shut their mouths and ceased flight as they floated in the air.

In the blink of an eye, the ten variously dressed people, most of aging appearance and venerable bearing, appeared from the slight.”

“We pay our respects to the Elders.” When Jin Yue and the others saw these ten men, they jumped off their birds in alarm and deeply saluted them.

An old woman with a cane with a beaming smile and said, “There is no need to regard us as outsiders. You’ll join our ranks sooner or later. The other elders are awaiting you on Jade Emperor Peak.”

Jin Yue’s heart stirred and she respectfully asked, “What? Could it be that our three branches were the last?”

The old woman chuckled and answered, “This is not the case. The northmost Gui Mian and Du Jiu branches were busy so we’re able to start the earth abyss trial without them. With you three, we may begin.”

“So it was like that,” Jin Yue nodded.

Standing behind them, Han Li felt his heart tremble when he saw the ten that appeared.

The ten were mostly at Body Integration cultivation. As for the old woman, he wasn’t able to see through her cultivation stage. She was most likely the same as Jin Yue, a fearsome existence at Body Integration stage or higher.

This was the so-called joint assembly elders.

It was said that elders were originally from various tribes, but when their lifespans were nearing their end, they could join these elders and renounce their affiliation with their original branch, taking on the responsibilities of the entire Flying Spirit Tribe.

At that moment, Old Man Zhu and the young woman stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries with the old woman. Soon after, the party flew to the mountain under the guidance of the old woman.

A moment later, the party arrived near the huge mountain and the imposing buildings could be faintly seen. Black dots could be seen circling the air above it.

Under closer examination, Han Li discovered that there were hundreds of huge birds flying through the air as well as huge winged insects with malevolent appearances.

When the mountain appeared to only be a kilometer away, a muffled bang sounded. A seven-colored rainbow flew out in a curve from a long distance away towards them.

Soon after, a gorgeous arched bridge appeared above them.

The old woman and the others blurred, taking a step on the bridge and beckoning the others with a smile.

“Let’s go.” Jin Yue commanded. She then stepped off the bird and quickly walked on the bridge.

The other parties did the same.

When Han Li walked on the bridge, he felt that he was stepping on something completely soft like a thick cushion.

Curious, he wanted to take a close look and released his spiritual sense, but he felt the bridge tremble and their surroundings light up, completely enveloping the party. With several shakes, the light brought them to the other end of the bridge.

At that moment, Han Li was unable to examine the marvelous display of the bridge as he found himself in front of over twenty Flying Spirit Tribe beings. They were all staring at him.

Behind them, there appeared to be a jade-green hall wrapped in white fog.

At the very front of this crowd were two people. One of them was a middle-aged man with a large nose and snow-white hair. The other had a wrinkly face and long cheeks, an old man with a black tattoo on his neck.

When the old woman saw them, she smiled and she walked towards them. As for the rest of them, they joined the crowd.

The tattooed old man waved his hand with a smile, “The elders have brought their holy disciples from a distance away. It must’ve been tiring. The holy disciples may rest in the side hall for a spell. The elders may accompany us to the main hall for a chat. The other clan elders are waiting for us there.”

The Chi Rong’s Elder Zhu rushed to speak, smiling as he said, “Elder Ming is too polite. We’ll do as you request.”

Jin Yue and the young woman from the Pentaluster Race raised no objections.

With that, Han Li and the others entered the white fog.

At an unknown time, a slender white-robed woman appeared in front of Han Li and the other holy disciples. She beamed at them and said, “Holy disciple, please follow me. This servant shall arrange your residences.”





Chapter 1435: Zhu Yinzi


“I must trouble you,” One of the Chi Rong holy disciples said with a respectful tone. Although the woman’s cultivation wasn’t high, he didn’t dare to slight her.

As there were many in the Chi Rong Race, they sent seven holy disciples. The Pentaluster Race sent five.

The one that sent the least were the Tian Peng Race, three including Han Li, and this was with leaving nothing behind. The other branches of the tribe were sure to keep a few holy disciples hidden and not send them.

Furthermore, the holy disciples of the other two branches were at mid-Deity Transformation stage at the very least. Bai Bi and Lei Lan were in truth a grade lower.

From this, it could be seen how weak the Tian Peng Race was when compared to the other branches. It was no wonder the higher echelon of the Tian Peng race had used such effort to rope him in. It would be a common occurrence for stronger branches to target them.

The strong preying on the weak was the rule of law in the spirit realm as well.

With that in mind, Han Li followed after the Chi Rong disciples along with the Bai Bi, Lei Lan, and the Pentaluster disciples.

They all obediently followed after her for a long distance.

Of the many Chi Rong holy disciples, the one that caught Han Li’s attention the most was a man with a sinister face and hostile eyes.

The other Chi Rong holy disciples had about the same cultivation, but only this cultivator gave him a feeling of danger.

With that thought, Han Li couldn't help but look at his back with narrowed eyes.

A beautiful Pentaluster woman that appeared in her twenties sweetly smiled at Han Li and asked, “What? Could Brother Han be interested in Zhu Yinzi?”

Although Han Li was only a fake holy disciple, his cultivation was still at high-grade spirit general. Be it the Chi Rong or the Pentaluster Race, they all viewed Han Li as the leader of the Tian Peng holy disciples.

And with his unfamiliar face, he should’ve been a concealed reserve. The other two tribes viewed Han Li with greater attention.

During their travels, the holy disciples hadn’t spoken to each other as Jin Yue and the other elders were present. Now that they were separated from the elders, the woman decided to open a conversation.

Of course, this was also because the Tian Peng always maintained friendly relations with the Pentaluster Race.

As for the Chi Rong holy disciples, they decided to ignore Han Li for the time being.
