Chapter 118 The Plot Discovered
Seeing that the Antarctic Immortal was hesitant and reluctant to give up, he immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Antarctic, although you are not valued by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, this matter is a secret and not known to everyone."
Even some of the Shangqing Immortals wouldn't dare to come to your residence in the past, let alone others? I see that Guangchengzi has only been a disciple for a short time, so he probably doesn't know the wonders of it.
Why don't we go and test him? Let's see if he's capable of understanding this secret. If he does, we can simply apologize and admit defeat. If he doesn't, then we'll be enjoying our freedom for who knows how long!
At this point, fearing that the Antarctic Immortal might not be moved, he immediately pulled the others along to persuade him as well.
The phoenix flower and the dragon blood jujube usually cooperate, unlike ordinary dragons and phoenixes who would hate each other to death. So, they can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at each other's appearance.
It was nothing more than wanting to use the Antarctic Immortal to test Guang Chengzi, and wanting to use the tiger skin of the Primordial Heavenly Lord to scare the old wolf Guang Chengzi.
But after careful consideration, Wutong Fenghuanghua had to admit that Da Rilong Xuezao wasn't speaking without reason; this matter truly had a very high chance of success!
First of all, this matter concerns the privacy of Yuanshi Tianzun, and is a matter of great importance to the Venerable One, so it is impossible for anyone to carelessly publicize matters concerning Yuanshi Tianzun.
Tongtian was his third brother, and Laozi was his great god. They knew Yuanshi Tianzun's temperament, otherwise they wouldn't have talked about these private matters everywhere, and even some Shangqing immortals wouldn't be so clueless.
Even if Guang Chengzi achieved the Great Luo realm and became omniscient and omnipotent, he was still far inferior to Yuanshi Tianzun. There was nothing that Yuanshi Tianzun did not want him to know, and there was no way he could know such things.
Furthermore, the most amazing thing about this whole thing is that it was all done by the Old Man of the South Pole, and they had no connection with it whatsoever.
Even if things were exposed, Guang Chengzi was unlikely to actually fight back and kill the Antarctic Immortal, since no matter what, the relationship between the Antarctic Immortal and the Primordial Heavenly Lord would not change.
Therefore, after much thought, the Old Man of the South Pole is the best choice for conversation!
Thinking of this, the phoenix flower of the phoenix tree did not hesitate and immediately said, "In my opinion, this matter is also beneficial to Fellow Daoist Antarctica."
The Old Man of the South Pole, already somewhat moved by their repeated persuasion, thought perhaps it wouldn't hurt to say something. But upon hearing the words of the Phoenix Flower, he asked, even more puzzled, "What are the benefits?"
The phoenix flower in the parasol tree smiled and said, "The greatest benefit of this matter is that it can be used to test the intentions of the Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable. After all, Fellow Daoist Antarctica has been cultivating in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain for so long, yet his Dao heart is firmly devoted to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable."
Such affection is enough to move even me. Even the Heavenly Venerable would sigh upon seeing it. If the Heavenly Venerable truly intends to acknowledge you, fellow Daoist, he probably wouldn't have allowed Guang Chengzi to punish you further. In that case, we should congratulate you, fellow Daoist Antarctic.
Even if they don't agree, it's fine. After all, this is an opportunity to meet the Primordial Celestial Venerable. Besides, we were only slightly late; would we really risk our lives for that? For Fellow Daoist Antarctica, it's naturally all beneficial and without any drawbacks.
It must be said that what the phoenix flower said really resonated with the old man of the South Pole.
The Old Man of the South Pole didn't care about power or status, but he cared about one thing in particular: the opinion of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
In order to gain the favor of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Antarctic Immortal did all sorts of good deeds and even personally mentioned two Taiyi Golden Immortals, just to emulate the moral conduct of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
What was the purpose of all those years of hard work and forbearance?
It was all so that Yuanshi Tianzun would think highly of him!
For this high regard, the Old Man of the South Pole is even willing to give up everything, including his life.
If the Antarctic Immortal was only initially interested, then this was something he was determined to do. He wanted to use the Guang Chengzi incident to test the feelings of the Primordial Heavenly Lord towards him; he really didn't want to wait any longer.
"Alright! In that case, I'll take the blame. We won't go to Baichuan Peak. If Guangchengzi asks, just say that I deliberately used a grand formation to obscure your perception of time, which is why you couldn't perceive the truth for a while and that's why we were delayed!"
The Antarctic Vanguard's words were tantamount to taking all the responsibility upon himself. The other six naturally praised him greatly, even believing that it would be a great pity if he did not become a disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
This barrage of flattery naturally made the Antarctic Immortal feel incredibly flattered. Before he could even utter a few words of modesty, a voice rang out: "Is that so? I originally thought there was a hidden gem here, so I came here specifically to consider whether I might have the opportunity to recommend it to my mentor in the future."
But now, looking at it, it's all unnecessary. How foolish! Just a few nice words were enough to fool you, even make you overjoyed, leaving you completely unsuspecting and intoxicated by the false praise from the outside world.
"With your qualifications, how could you possibly become my master's top disciple? Not to mention your ungratefulness, coming here to spout things like 'father and son.' If my master didn't instruct you to kill them, I'd truly be grateful for Heaven's mercy."
The voice came out of nowhere, and it carried a calm and collected air, as if it didn't take these people seriously at all, and that even the great formation couldn't stop it in the slightest.
Upon hearing this, the seven people present were immediately terrified. Without hesitation, they sent out their magical treasures and transformed into streaks of light, flying towards the horizon.
They didn't know who was speaking, but the fact that the person could approach so silently without them noticing suggested that their cultivation level was probably exceptionally high.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they cannot resist them. Rather than standing still and discussing whether it is good or bad with the other party, it is better to just run away first.
But after the voice finished speaking, there was no movement. The seven streaks of light that had originally rushed to the ends of the earth instantly flew back involuntarily, and even the speed of their return was faster than their speed of escape!
"What?!"
"Impossible! Who are you?!"
These people used all sorts of Taoist magic and supernatural powers with all their might, but whether it was the supernatural powers they had gained through years of hard work or the ones they had comprehended by listening to the Three Pure Ones preaching, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under this inexplicable force, and they couldn't stop it at all.
The phoenix flowers of the phoenix tree and the blood jujube of the Great Sun Dragon have even begun to burn the origin of the Great Sun Golden Dragon and that phoenix ancestor. This is their trump card and the last legacy left to them.
No matter how the Nirvana Flame or the Great Sun True Flame burned, under this invisible and intangible power, they couldn't even fly out of the surrounding area by half a distance.
Gone is the immense power that could destroy the heavens and the earth; instead, it displays a weak, laughable, and humble demeanor.
As they watched helplessly as the scene in the valley reappeared, despair filled their eyes.
Another chair appeared where they were discussing matters, and sitting on this chair was a young Taoist priest with a calm expression.
