Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Mu Longyu was shocked but did not show it.

However, he became more and more curious about the person who wanted to help them become immortals.

If it was really the same person, he might be in the midst of the ancient immortal will.

He would need to inform the others about this.

“When did he leave?” Mu Longyu asked.

“About a month ago,” Duanmu Yi said.

He had just missed him. Mu Longyu sighed.

Then, he asked about the person’s appearance.

He did not get a clear answer. Duanmu Yi only said that he looked like a scholar.

There were too many scholars in the world. Could he have been from the Astronomical Academy?

If it was not someone from the immortal sect, who could it be?

In the current cultivation world, he knew of no one who fit the description.

“Did he say anything before he left?” Mu Longyu asked.

“Yes,” said Duanmu Yi. “He said, ‘When your Heavenly King returns, tell him that I’m waiting for treasures from other places.’ Those were his exact words.”

“Got it.” Mu Longyu nodded.

It seemed that he was right, after all. He needed to do it as soon as possible.

The time was just right to explain to others everything he had learned about the Twelve Heavenly Kings becoming immortals.

This needed preparation. Hai Luo was important, but so was this.

Twenty years to become an immortal was not considered that long.

They needed to be in their best condition and had to have the support to walk the immortal path.

He had failed before because he did not know the details. He finally had a chance.

Even if they were destined to fail, they would not give up.

After returning to the palace, Mu Longyu sent someone to inform the other Heavenly Kings about an emergency meeting.

…

The blue-robed woman who was discussing a way out with Xu Bai in the deep sea suddenly raised her eyebrows.

At that moment, they were talking while playing chess.

“It seems that you have something to attend to.” Xu Bai smiled and put down the chess piece in his hand.

“There are… new developments. Please excuse me,” said the woman apologetically.

“That’s alright. There’s still time. If you want to find another way, there is no rush to do so,” said Xu Bai.

The blue-robed woman’s face did not change. She politely excused herself and left the island. She sank into the deep blue sea as if she had completely fused with it.

Xu Bai just watched as she left. Then, he looked up at the sky. “Something big might have happened overseas. My time is almost up.”

He was about to become an immortal. He could try to break through to the Immortal Ascension Platform at any time.

However, he felt that it was not the right time.

At least, it was not the best time yet.

The Immortal Ascension Platform was extraordinarily difficult. If he was not careful, he would fail. He had a bad feeling about it.

If he forced himself to become an immortal at present, he would easily fall into the traps of his inner demon.

He would be like Zhang from back then.

Since ancient times, not many people had been able to successfully step onto the path of immortality in the clutches of their inner demons.

He did not know if he could do it, but he did not want to try.

The blue-robed woman who had left connected to the sea realm and condensed into a water body on a water pillar. She stood on the water pillar and looked around.

The figures on the other eleven water pillars appeared one after another.

The other ten Heavenly Kings revealed their power.

Heavenly King Hai Luo was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone was used to it, so they treated it as if Hai Luo was gone.

There were only eleven of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

“Did you find something this time, heavenly King Mu?” asked the blue-robed woman.

“Heavenly King Meng, you’re right. I called for this meeting because I have something to say this time,” said Mu Longyu calmly. The authority in his voice was apparent.

He seemed very gentle and polite when he was in the Heavenly Note Sect. But in the sea realm, his authority began to show.

Meng Lanling looked at him but did not say anything. She waited quietly.

“Heavenly King Mu, it’s not so long ago that you traveled to the South, right?” asked Heavenly King Taomu. “Did you figure out a method to become immortals?”

“Heavenly King Mu Longyu has called for several meetings before. Will this be any different?” asked someone else.

Mu Longyu was used to facing these skeptical Heavenly Kings.

He did not beat around the bush and said, “I have indeed found a way to become an immortal.”

Everyone was surprised. They did not expect him to claim such a thing with conviction.

If it was so easy to figure something out, they would have already done it sooner.

Everyone thought that Mu Longyu was not serious about this.

Mu Longyu had expected the Heavenly Kings to be doubtful. “Before, we didn’t entirely know the requirements for the Heavenly Kings to become immortals. I traveled to the South, and now I know exactly how difficult it is for us to become immortals.”

Everyone was surprised.

However, no one spoke.

“Let’s start with the simplest requirement. The Twelve Heavenly Kings need to gather together to ascend to the Immortal Ascension Platform, and the location where this must happen is the core of the twelve sea regions,” Mu Longyu said.

The others nodded.

This was already common knowledge.

Hai Luo was the problem.

“There’s another point that you might not have thought of. That is, one of the Heavenly Kings’ Fortune has to be damaged.”

The others were surprised by this, but they immediately thought of Hai Luo.

“Hai Luo can do that. He just happens to have the opportunity that we can all use to become immortals. Most importantly, there must be someone who can borrow Hai Luo’s damaged fortune to walk alongside the Twelve Heavenly Kings and the twelve seas to lead us to become immortals. This person wants to break through to the Immortal Ascension Realm too. He also wants to be the first in history to attempt something like this. He wants to be the first of his name in the past, present, and future. Only then can the Twelve Heavenly Kings become immortals,” Mu Longyu said seriously.

He did not say anything else.

The other ten Heavenly Kings frowned.

Meng Lanling was silent for a long time. Then, she said, “Is there such a person in the cultivation world?”

“How can someone like that exist? Even if they do, they won’t be able to become an immortal directly with our opportunity,” said Heavenly King Taomu.

“But that might mean that we won’t become immortals at all, right?”

The requirements did not leave any way out for the Heavenly Kings.

They felt despair.

Even if such a person existed, they might not meet them even in a hundred years.

Mu Longyu’s words did make sense. If it wasn’t difficult, every Heavenly King in the past would have become an immortal.

“Let’s listen to Heavenly King Mu. He called for this meeting urgently, so there must be some weight to his words.”

Everyone looked at Mu Longyu.

“There is someone who wants to try it,” said Mu Longyu.

“Who is it?”

“I don’t… know.”

“Can he open the path to immortality?”

“I don’t know…”

“There must have been something convincing about him for you to vouch for him, right?”

“No.”

“Then, what do you actually have for us?”

“His person informed me about the requirements for the heavenly Kings to become immortals.”

Everyone was silent.

However, Mu Longyu did not give them any time to think. He said, “There’s another problem… We only have twenty-four and a half years to prepare to attempt it. That person will have ascended to the Immortal Ascension Platform in that time. If we aren’t ready at that time… Well, time waits for no one.”
