The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2259: Shocking Transformation (part 3)
Previously on The Quest for Immortality...
A band of Heaven Void Ancestors soon uncovered a crucial find.
"Southwest direction!"
"The edge of the Third Grade Yanluo Mountain!"
Yanluo Mountain stood as the same site where Mo Hua had previously wiped out the Demon Sect.
One ancestor swiftly engaged the Heaven Peeping Mirror, aiming it southwest to encompass eight hundred miles of poison mist and miasma-shrouded marshes around Yanluo Mountain.
A fierce whirlwind churned the air, shifting the displayed scene.
Within the Heaven Peeping Mirror, viewers beheld Xuantian Peak rising alone into the clouds, located at the Mountain Realm's fringe in the Qian Learning State Boundary, directly adjacent to the Third Grade Yanluo Mountain.
This landscape left every Heaven Void Ancestor utterly stunned.
"This?!"
"Could it be..."
Without a chance to respond, Xuantian Peak toppled over right before their eyes.
A thunderous "boom" resounded, reshaping mountains and rivers while dust billowed across the sky.
Having been shifted by the Fifth Grade Mount of Tao Formation to the border of the Fifth Grade Qian Learning State Boundary, the lofty Xuantian Peak crashed and crumbled from the Fifth Grade State Realm straight into the Third Grade Yanluo Mountain Realm.
Thus, the whole Xuantian Peak formed a colossal "bridge" linking the Fifth Grade and Third Grade State Realms.
Constrained by Heavenly Dao Laws restrictions, these ancestors refrained from rash actions within the Third Grade Realm.
What an immense conspiracy! What intricate plots!
For an instant, a piercing chill gripped the hearts of all ancestors.
...
Nearly simultaneously, the dramatic upheaval at Xuantian Peak seized the focus of everyone there, from exalted ancestors to everyday cultivators spectating the event.
At the Shangguan Family's viewing platform.
Wenren Wan stared in shock at the scene, gazing upward where Xuantian Peak had vanished, clutching Yu Er firmly against her.
Yet in the blink of an eye, a shadow flickered—a cultivator materialized beside Wenren Wan, pressing a "Dao Discussion Jade"-shaped jade pendant onto Yu Er's forehead.
A burst of azure light flashed, and Yu Er vanished completely.
Wenren Wan's arms abruptly felt vacant without Yu Er; her complexion turned ashen, her heart overwhelmed by torment.
She whipped her head around, her lovely eyes blazing with fury, and rasped in a voice thick with loathing:
"Shangguan Wang——"
Shangguan Wang sneered coldly.
This abrupt twist also pulled the gaze of fellow Shangguan Family elders, one of whom bellowed in outrage and disbelief:
"Elder Wang, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Wang sneered again, declaring, "I'm granting the Shangguan Family's direct descendant a chance, letting this child cast off mortality and ascend to divinity."
Upon finishing, he crushed a blood jade outright, and his figure dissolved into nothingness.
Time was of the essence; solely amid this fleeting chaos at Xuantian Peak did he possess this opening. Once Shangguan Yu got dispatched, immediate flight was essential—no lingering possible.
Should he tarry, the moment any Heaven Void Ancestor refocused and detected him, departure would prove impossible.
The area cleared out in a flash.
Within mere moments, Yu Er was gone.
Shangguan Wang had also vanished.
Wenren Wan remained clueless about where Shangguan Wang had transported her Yu Er.
What horrors awaited Yu Er's destiny?
The terrifying nightmare replayed vividly before Wenren Wan's eyes.
Yu Er, bled dry with organs gutted, bloodied face, ghostly pale skin, hollow eyes fixed on her, pleading why a mother failed to safeguard her own child...
Interminable dread welled up from deep within her heart.
It was as though a knife carved gradually into Wenren Wan's heart, shredding her with excruciating agony...
...
Following the cataclysm.
Deep in a hidden chamber within the Qian Learning State Boundary.
Mr. Tu reassembled from a puddle of blood and meat, then arrayed himself in sacrificial robes. His demeanor grew shadowy and skeletal, akin to a demonic beast molting its human hide to unveil its authentic shape—elongated talons and a pallid, corpse-like countenance.
"All preparations stand complete: Divine Fetus, Blood River, Flesh City, Blood Eye, Bone Pivot, and crowning the Qian Learning State Boundary... the sacrifice."
"Though hastily arranged, no alternatives remain...
"That cursed brat, were it not for him...
Mr. Tu's features contorted in fury, teeth gnashing, before he reined in his ire and exhaled deeply:
"No matter, delay is impossible now...
"Time to commence...
Mr. Tu dropped to his knees, forehead pressed to the floor, intoning, "The lowly servants humbly anticipate the advent of the Great Wilderness's Master...
His eyes protruded wildly, gleaming with bloodlust intertwined with fanatic zeal and insanity.
"Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation!"
"Activate!"
