Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Opening of the Cave Residence (Keeping Full Attendance, Next Chapter Later)_1

“Sorry, not this time.”@@novelbin@@

Mei Xiyao gently shook her head, without offering much explanation, and then she walked upstairs past several people.

Watching her graceful silhouette.

A few Primordial Grandmasters exchanged glances and quickly resumed their seats.

The other cultivators, their faces full of anticipation, also hurriedly withdrew their gazes.

Every time Xuanjian True Person brought his own ingredients, after his departure, the Eight Directions Food Pavilion would start serving meals and invite guests.

But there were exceptions.

Like when Nie Jun brought the corpses of the demons from the Thousand Demon Cave.

Unlike wild demons, the people of Wutong Mountain dared to eat them, but those from smaller factions did not have the courage to do so, they didn’t even dare to ask.

“Get ready, the cave residence is about to open.”

Master Zhang waved his sleeve and headed towards the door as well.

He did not lower his voice; instead, he made sure everyone heard him.

This magnanimous act once again earned him the admiration of the crowd, while the Xuanjian True Person might have inscrutable cultivation, others couldn’t benefit from it. In comparison, the master of the Mysterious Light Cave seemed more approachable.

Following the departure of Master Zhang from the pavilion.

A noisy crowd followed him.

Mei Xiyao, who had just gone upstairs, came back out, followed by several people from the pavilion, all quietly looking down.

Until the people downstairs were gone and the pavilion empty.

She sighed unconsciously, and the others also shook their heads with bitter smiles.

The situation was exactly the same as the last time.

All of them hard-earned strong practitioners, do they really believe in the so-called “Immortal Sect” reputation of the Mysterious Light Cave?

In the corner, Shen Yi also stood up.

Such eccentric behavior from Master Zhang, for someone like him who had killed his way out of Baiyun County as a small constable, appeared clearer.

However, no matter how wary he was, he had to go.

After safely developing in Great Qian for so long, wasn’t it to ensure that he wouldn’t be overly cautious after coming out?

“Grandmaster didn’t come for the cave residence?”

Mei Xiyao had noticed the young man in black early on, as they welcomed and saw off many, how could they overlook any cultivator of strength.

Seeing that he didn’t leave with Master Zhang, she reminded him, “If that’s the case, please come to the third floor for a meal?”

“We’ll talk when I come back.”

Shen Yi shook his head and quickly walked out.

Despite his interest in the delicacies comparable to precious pills, proper matters were more important.

“…”

Despite being cautious, ambition ultimately prevailed.

It was just a casual reminder, and Mei Xiyao had no intention of holding him back a second time.

It’s just that, coming back might not be so easy.

…

Eight Directions Valley is to the west.

What comes into view are two cliffs shaped like eagle beaks facing each other.

They look very much like a towering archway.

Zhang Mingyang stands with his hands behind his back at the foot of the cliff, and even after many times, his eyes still show longing.

Cultivators from the Immortal Sect, even those who leave the inner gates to find a secluded spot elsewhere, can build such wonderfully exquisite cave residences.

Despite the passage of many years, they still manage to keep the likes of him and others outside, causing helpless sighs.

In fact, their cultivation as Divinity Transformation Realm practitioners might not be much lower than that of the other party.

But in terms of various methods and knowledge, they are far inferior.

He silently calculated the time.

About after the sixth day and night cycle, the moonlight enveloped the eagle beak cliffs like a thin veil.

At the archway formed by the two cliffs, a faint light screen suddenly emerged.

The cave residence is open!

Nearly everyone’s eyes became incredibly fervent.

But as Master Zhang had not yet made a move, they also had to forcibly suppress the excitement in their hearts.

“Xuanjian Cave is hardly the sort of place that behaves with such unbridled tyranny. There is no need to heed my words, my friends. Please, do as you wish.”

Zhang Mingyang waved his sleeve, dispelling everyone’s doubts.

While those with lower cultivation hesitated, the ten or so Primordial Grandmasters clasped their hands in thanks: “We thank you, True Person Zhang, and we shall not stand on ceremony.”

Small forces with a thin foundation couldn’t compare to two Immortal Sects, and even the collections of the Martial Temple were enough to make them covet.

Primordial Grandmasters of humble origins could be said to have reached the end of their paths.

Even knowing of the dangers within, they would not pass up any chance compared to the torment of no progress, and the agony of their waning life spans.

Besides, if fortune favored them and they found a Cultivation Technique of the Divinity Transformation Realm—

perhaps the forces behind them could someday ascend to the top echelons… even replacing the Great Qian Martial Temple.

As they spoke, their bodies began to radiate light.

An immense aura belonging to the Primordial Realm spread out, soaring to the sky!

Over ten figures sprung forward, merging into the archway’s light screen in an instant, and both their shapes and auras disappeared entirely.

With some taking the lead, the remaining cultivators became eager to try.

Their cultivations were already low; if they fell behind, even if their ancestors blessed them and they encountered something valuable, they definitely wouldn’t be able to keep it.

In an instant, several dozen more people rushed in.

The rest quietly watched True Person Zhang, belonging to those who had followed the crowd here. Now that they were actually here, they hesitated.

Zhang Mingyang smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

He just whispered a few words to those behind him.

Then, he casually walked through the light screen with the old man in grey and two others.

“What?”

The cultivators stared at the remaining person, suddenly feeling something was amiss.

If they weren’t mistaken, that person was also a famously known real person from Xuanjian Cave, named Zhang Chenlin, whose cultivation had reached the Ultimate Realm Primordial; to think he would be left outside to guard the cave?

“Heh.”

Zhang Chenlin stood in place, looking at the light screen with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Seeing this, the cultivators immediately held their breath, relieved they hadn’t acted rashly. Who would have thought that Xuanjian Cave, a force of such caliber, would stoop to guarding a gate for a cave mansion—it was as if they had no shame at all.

“Let’s go.”

The crowd whispered to each other and quietly began to back away.

If they couldn’t take what they found, what was the point of risking danger? Only a fool would do so.

Just then, a “fool” finally took a step forward.

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow.

He had thought Xuanjian Cave had some conspiracy in place, only to watch in silence for a long while and find they resorted to tactics worse than a village bully.

A waste of time.

In the dazed gaze of the crowd, the youth in dark robes flew through the air, stepping directly over Zhang Chenlin’s head and into the light screen.

“No, seriously? Someone can still go in?”

They sneak a glance at Zhang Chenlin and saw his face was extremely unsightly.

“Others are Primordial Grandmasters, of course they have some guts.”

“So young, yet to think which great power he might come from.”

“If truly a great power… wouldn’t Xuanjian Cave recognize him?”

The group retreated while whispering among themselves.

Yet, after much discussion, none knew the young man’s background. With various thoughts running through their minds, some felt pity, others felt empathy; after all, only disciples of smaller forces knew how precious a path leading to the next realm was, and that it was worth risking everything to fight for.

But most were mocking from those who thought themselves wise.

No matter how high his cultivation, he was still just an impetuous youth. Although their realms were lower, they likely could live longer than him.

While they buzzed with discussion on one side—

Outside Eight Directions Valley, at a certain place.

A white crane, along with several other demons, stood quietly in place.

In front of them, a narrow light screen slowly emerged, like a tear in a piece of clothing.

Even the most perfect Formation, after withstanding the passage of time, would show flaws.

The news even a cultivator at the Embrace Pill Realm knew—how would the Thousand Demon Cave remain ignorant?

Feigning ignorance was only to give Xuanjian Cave a little surprise.
