Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1645 - 994: How Could One Be Stooped

Compared to these Six Divine Talismans, nothing is more important than his Immortal Life.

There are still some days until the auction, and the news that the Ying Dragon is the auction item has been out for days, yet the Dragon Fish Whale still hasn’t appeared.

The Immortal Essence of the female celestial he gathered in the Immortal World was supposed to support him until the auction ended, and he found the location of the Silver Gate.

But today, seeing the Six Divine Talismans appear in the world, the recipient is merely a Mortal.

With a flick of his finger, he could crush the tiny ant into oblivion.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu thought that his move today to take the Six Spirit Talismans from a junior would be as easy as reaching into his pocket.

Unexpectedly, a small move could provoke the wrathful strike of the Central Netherworld Empress.

Drawing nearly to exhaustion what little Immortal Essence he had left.

Crossing two realms with an Immortal Body, the consumption was already enormous.

If he were to force through the Nine Heavens now, return to the Immortal World, and continue pursuing his target.

To target new female celestials and gather their Immortal Essence, he must first seduce them with emotion.

Forcible suppression and extraction, though not difficult, would inevitably leave traces, and if Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan detected it, his Immortal Path would likely end.

However, the gradual strategizing process undoubtedly takes up a lot of time.

A little carelessness, and he would miss the auction in Shifang City, losing the Silver Gate, leading inevitably to his ruin.

But...

Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s gaze flickered with shadows and greed while assessing Ying Ji’s graceful figure.

Though the Taiyin Emperor hailed from the Nine Nethers of the Underworld, how could he forget that the Taiyin was also a naturally born Immortal Spirit, one of the Five Venerables.

Her Immortal Essence was pure; her daughter, Central Netherworld’s Ying Ji, pursued enlightenment in the mortal world at Houtu, and her bone age is a mere thousand years.

In this long Immortal Path, she is quite young, her immortal power is pure and clear.

Compared to the female celestials who have undergone bitter cultivation in Heaven, her Immortal Essence is so abundant and pure it could rival the Immortal Essence of thousands of female celestials in Heaven.

If he obtained Ying Ji’s Immortal Essence, he would never have to worry about his Immortal Life depleting, at least for the next thousand years.

It would also provide sufficient energy to deal with the Fish-Dragon Whale and find the Silver Gate.

Thinking thus, the Six Divine Talismans seemed trivial compared to this Central Netherworld Empress.

With that in mind, Golden Immortal Feng Xu quietly put away the shadows and greed from his eyes, restrained his killing intent entirely, and his demeanor returned to calm indifference:

His tone was as courteous as if showing favor: "Fine then, since the Heavenly Seal Sword Master has already mediated, I do not wish to make things difficult for a junior any longer.

But regarding the matter of the Divine Talisman, it concerns all beings, I will report this back to the Immortal World and notify Immortal Venerable.""

Baili Yu showed little interest in the matter of the Divine Talisman, and unfazed by Feng Xu’s tone with implicit threats, he raised his eyebrows dispassionately: "Feel free, my lord.""

Feng Xu looked at Baili Yu, his lips curled up, and his heart coldly laughed:

"Sect Master Baili is honored as the Lord of the Common Sword of the world, bearing heavy responsibility, even the Saint Immortal Venerable keeps close watch, one day Sword Master will allow the name of the Thirteen Swords to blaze bright, then you will be granted the qualification to enter Dianjian Palace and transform into Golden Immortal.""

But now, for the sake of a woman’s petty quarrels, you dare enter the Sword Palace, break my sword, I wonder if Sect Master Baili has considered how to explain this to Immortal Venerable."

Baili Yu remained emotionless, saying lightly: "Regarding this, I have my own decisions, there’s no need for Lord Feng Xu to worry.""

He lifted his sharp black eyes, his gaze unusually stern, like the edge of a tempered blade: "As I see it, what Lord Feng Xu did was far from just petty quarrels.""

Baili Yu stepped forward, compared to the killing intent that Golden Immortal Feng Xu gradually restrained.

His aura did not diminish but increased, his hand pressed on the Dragon Ascending Sword at his waist, though the sword was still sheathed, the Sword Qi was already chilling and sharp.

His cold voice sounded like winter water, "Today’s offense on my wife by Lord Feng Xu will be remembered by me.""

Ying Ji frowned deeply, seemingly displeased with this statement.

Golden Immortal Feng Xu dismissed it with a cold smile, he lowered the large sleeve that covered his face, revealing that sinister face beneath.

He stepped forward two steps, unaffected by the imposing aura Baili Yu exuded.

Effortlessly walking to his side, he cast a sidelong glance at Baili Yu, mocking with piercing laughter, "Though this Immortal holds the position of Venerable Immortal in the skies, far removed from the mundane, I am not ignorant of mortal affairs.""

"Five hundred years ago, the righteous and demonic sects war initiated by Sect Master Baili, was fought splendidly and heroically.""

"Sect Master Baili and the Central Netherworld Empress had deep affection, together expelling the evil sect from the Central Plains.""

"Restoring the mortal world to a peaceful, prosperous Immortal Path era, even the Immortal Venerable praised it.""

"But two hundred years ago, Sect Master Baili and the Central Netherworld Dynasty grew estranged, severing ties with the Empress, the only thing missing was the paper of separation.""

"In the last two hundred years, the occasions they met could be counted on one hand, doing as a husband to this extent, even this Immortal sympathizes.""

"Now, why come here pretending to be angry and concerned?""

Baili Yu’s gaze was sharp as a knife: "My family affairs are not for Lord Feng Xu to meddle.""

Feng Xu chuckled lowly, his voice sinister and light, murmuring just loud enough for Baili Yu to hear:

"Today she may be sect master’s wife, tomorrow she might become another’s wife?""

"Sect Master Baili, you say, how loathsome must one be to let such a peerless beauty, a peach blossom empress, wait alone, lonely for a hundred years?""
