Chapter 117 The True Story of the Antarctic Immortal
Upon hearing this, all six people present fell silent, speechless, clearly unsure whether to go or not.
Not only that, even the phoenix flower in the phoenix tree sighed deeply after speaking. Its lifelike phoenix head was full of entanglement, clearly indicating that it was also thinking about its own little thoughts.
The ocean is vast because it can accommodate all rivers; these people must know this principle, or rather, Guang Chengzi has already made his plans public and no longer wants to pretend.
If they obediently go to Baichuan Peak to pay homage to Guangdong Zi, then they will naturally submit to him and follow his lead, which can be considered as becoming disciples of Yuxu Palace.
This is naturally part of the Jade Void Palace. After all, they obeyed Guang Chengzi's words and were therefore his disciples outside the sect, which would be considered as second-generation disciples in the Three Pure Peaks.
Moreover, their superior was not someone like Tongtian who didn't care about the life or death of his disciples, but Yuanshi Tianzun, a great god who was extremely protective of his own.
Being a second-generation disciple is a disgrace to these Taiyi Golden Immortals, but becoming a second-generation disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun is a blessing that one can only dream of.
but--
That being said, the seven of them were used to a carefree life, and would often go to the top of Kunlun Mountain to listen to the sermons of those celestial beings. Even the disciples of Shangqing treated them with courtesy and did not boss them around like they would ordinary people.
Although these are just superficial gestures, anyone who is used to being carefree will find it difficult to adjust to suddenly having a boss above them.
So even though they knew that becoming a second-generation disciple of the Jade Void Palace would bring countless benefits and provide them with a powerful backer in the future, they were still somewhat conflicted, thinking that there might be another compromise and a better way.
If the order had been issued by Duobao, then the others would have had the confidence to refuse, at least they would have inquired about it first.
But now that this order was issued by Guang Chengzi, a newly promoted Great Luo Golden Immortal, and someone trusted by the Three Pure Ones, they no longer have the power to question him.
After all, while they were in the Kunlun Mountains, they had also learned a lot of rumors about this Guang Chengzi from some of the Shangqing disciples.
They described it in a terrifying way, as if Guang Chengzi were an utterly wicked villain who could only fall asleep after swallowing the souls of several people every day.
Although they knew that these Shangqing disciples didn't tell the truth, the fact that Guangchengzi could frighten these unruly people to such an extent, to the point that they turned pale at the mere mention of their names, showed that Guangchengzi himself was an extremely strict person.
Otherwise, given how these Shangqing disciples treat people differently based on their status, if the other party were easy to talk to, they wouldn't be so frightened.
Now they are caught between a rock and a hard place. They are unwilling to take a step forward and be ordered around, but they dare not take a step back and offend that person.
So the seven people present thought it over and over, and slowly, six of them turned their attention to a Taoist priest who looked like an old man.
The Taoist priest was of medium build, but he had a broad forehead and a large belly. He held a huge pink peach in his hand, and his round face, which was without a single wrinkle, was always smiling. He was riding a sika deer, which made him look quite festive.
This person was none other than the son of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Antarctic Immortal.
Seeing the others looking at him with slightly expectant eyes, the Antarctic Immortal gave a wry smile and said, "Fellow cultivators, I know what you're thinking. It's not that I don't want to help, but I've never actually interacted with this Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, so I don't know what kind of person he is. Besides, my identity as the Son of Primordial Beginning is only good for fooling others. You've cultivated with me for so long, have you ever seen my Heavenly Father pay me any attention even once?"
What the Old Man of the South Pole said is not wrong. Although he has always regarded the Primordial Celestial Lord as his biological father, it is a pity that the Primordial Celestial Lord did not want him as his adopted son.
Moreover, it was merely a wisp of his aura mixed with primordial magnetic energy that took form. To say it was mixed with primordial magnetic energy would be an understatement. In reality, the true form of the Antarctic Immortal was entangled by the Southern Frontier Flame Vein Qi, making it difficult for him to escape and ascend to heaven.
Just then, a wisp of the aura of the Primordial Celestial Venerable descended. The Primordial Celestial Venerable was the true primordial spirit of Pangu, formed from the pure energy of the Nine Heavens. Even a wisp of his aura was accompanied by immeasurable pure energy.
The so-called repulsion between the pure and the impure is that the fiery veins are hidden deep within the earth's veins and contain an extremely large amount of impure energy. Now, when it encounters this boundless pure energy, it immediately produces a world-shaking change.
It was during this opportunity that the Antarctic Immortal managed to escape. After years of arduous cultivation, he transformed into human form and came to Kunlun Mountain, wanting to recognize the Primordial Celestial Venerable as his father.
Unfortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun only wanted to be the other party's benefactor, not their father. He only bestowed a few treasures upon them out of consideration for their fate, and left nothing else behind.
Otherwise, given the nature of Yuanshi Tianzun, if the Antarctic Immortal was truly his child, he would surely protect him well and keep him hidden in the Jade Void Palace to properly train him.
How could we allow the other side to fall into this trap?
It was only through the spread of misinformation that the identity of the Antarctic Immortal became so mysterious, but the other six knew it perfectly well.
But now that they've found an opportunity, how can they not make the most of it?
The Great Sun Dragon Blood Jujube did not make its true form at this moment. After all, it was a jujube tree and grew in the earth. It was best not to move it unnecessarily, unlike the Wutong Phoenix Flower, which could roam the sky and was itself a divine flower growing in the sky.
Therefore, he only sent out an avatar made from his first jujube. Judging from his appearance, he did not travel in his true form like the phoenix flower, but was a majestic middle-aged man wearing an imperial dragon robe and a crown of the great sun.
If any dragon elders who have seen the Great Sun Golden Dragon were to see the Great Sun Dragon Blood Jujube here, they would be extremely surprised, even horrified, because its appearance is exactly the same as the Great Sun Golden Dragon that once died.
Unlike the Great Sun Golden Dragon, which is unyielding to the death and whose corpse roams the starry sky like the sun even in death, the Great Sun Dragon Blood Jujube understands better what is real, what is illusory, what is true, and what is false.
As a primordial spiritual tree without the protection of a primordial array and unable to be easily moved, the Great Sun Dragon Blood Jujube has experienced countless hardships and dangers throughout its life.
On several occasions, he was even controlled by others, and his spiritual consciousness was restricted, so that he could only become a spiritual root for others to cultivate.
He didn't despair back then, but quietly waited for the right opportunity, which is how he regained his freedom. How much more so now?
