#1943 - Taibai Immortal
“Ninety-fourth life! Return to your place!”
Accompanied by an angry shout, San Cai transformed into a ray of light and entered Ji Dongfeng's body. Ji Dongfeng turned his head to look at the ninety-third life, a female cultivator nearly two meters tall.
This cultivator wore a red dress, with hair reaching her waist. A faint red apple mark could be seen on her forehead. In terms of aura, this woman was not weak, reaching around the fifth level of the Celestial Realm.
“I only need you to do one thing,” the woman said, her voice crisp, yet carrying a trace of sorrow.
“Go find a tree, called the Emotionless Tree.”
“Ding, accepted the Hundred Lifetimes Task: Emotionless Tree!”
“Emotionless Tree: Destroy the Emotionless Tree for Wu Mieqing. Task reward: Wu Mieqing's Hundred Lifetimes item.”
Ji Dongfeng curled his lips upon hearing this and said, “You should at least tell me the approximate location.”
“In Honglin,” Wu Mieqing said.
“Okay, okay, okay! That's really approximate. Fine, I'll try my best to find it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my master,” Ji Dongfeng said.
“Boy, there isn't much time left before the Broken Filth Army gathers. You still have a lot to do next,” said the Ancestor of Ghost Dao.
Ji Dongfeng grinned upon hearing this and said, “Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've already thought about the next plan. I'll prepare for the Nine Stars Alignment while cultivating. I'll go back to the Third Heaven first. I still need to find Xuanwu to get the Dao Sound Bell.”
“Besides that, I also need to go to the Ji family to forge a treasure of heaven and earth. Damn it, I'm going to be busy to death.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng exited the Hundred Lifetimes Space and, with a thought, returned to the Third Heaven.
At the same time, inside the Third Heaven, a group of creatures floated in the void with resentful expressions. After Ji Dongfeng, Xian Datong, and Xiao Ling left, although the Spirit Treasure Ascension had not completely disappeared, not many more treasures appeared.
“What's going on! Why is it so quiet between heaven and earth! Where are the treasures!”
“It shouldn't be! In the past, this Spirit Treasure Ascension was one round after another. Why did it suddenly disappear this time!”
“It's not gone… it's paused. Look, the light of treasures is flickering between heaven and earth, and it doesn't mean it has completely disappeared. I guess treasures will appear again in a while.”
“This doesn't make sense! The treasures of heaven and earth appear! How can there be a reason to suddenly pause! Could it be waiting for someone?!”
In the next moment, the expressions of a group of creatures changed, and a name appeared in their minds.
“This isn't waiting for Ji Dongfeng, is it.”
Just as a group of creatures was wondering, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.
“Hahahaha, what is the difference between immortals and mortals when they wait bitterly for what they seek!”
A group of creatures turned their heads upon hearing this and were surprised to find a middle-aged man in a white robe flying over on a sword. This person stood with his hands behind his back, with a shining brush hanging from his waist, exuding a scholarly air, but his aura had already reached the Opening God Realm, not to be underestimated.
“Immortal Taibai? Why are you out?” a cultivator shouted.
The man smiled lightly upon hearing this and said, “I was bored, so I came out for some fresh air and to join in the fun, to see if I could write any good lines. Unfortunately, everything I see is unbearably vulgar.”
A group of creatures curled their lips upon hearing this and didn't say much. They knew in their hearts that this was just Immortal Taibai's temperament.
“Speaking of which, Immortal Taibai, you have quite a few treasures all over your body, with a brush and a sword. This time, you've encountered the rare Spirit Treasure Ascension. Aren't you considering hoarding more good things?”
Immortal Taibai said upon hearing this, “The more you get, the more worries you have. When you need to pay the price, the more you lose. Rather than feeling sorry and reluctant at that time, it's better not to be involved now.”
“You continue to do worldly things. I said, I'm just out for some fresh air.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Taibai was about to leave on his sword when a figure rushed over.
“Immortal Taibai, wait,”
Immortal Taibai turned his head upon hearing this and found that the person who came was none other than the long-bearded old man from the Eternal Soaring Sky Sect.
“What's the matter?” Immortal Taibai asked.
The long-bearded old man chuckled and said, “It's nothing big, I just hope Immortal Taibai will wait here a little longer. You also know that my Eternal Soaring Sky Sect has a disciple named Ji Dongfeng. He comes from the First Heaven, or rather, from a place called Earth.”
Immortal Taibai's eyes lit up upon hearing this and said, “I know the name Ji Dongfeng, but I have been in seclusion, sealing my heart, and I don't know much about him. I didn't expect him to come from Earth. Could it be from China?”
“That's right, it's from China. I heard that your avatar also traveled in China. You should have some fate with him. Why not wait here? He should be back soon,” the long-bearded old man smiled.
Immortal Taibai nodded upon hearing this and said, “Speaking of which, many of my war poems were written on Earth. My avatar experienced it, and my main body created it. China is indeed the most precious treasure land in my past. Since he has a connection with me, I'll wait.”
“However, you asked me to wait for him here, not to discuss fate with him, right?”
The long-bearded old man laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, “That's right, you are a straightforward person, and I will be direct. This kid is about to experience a great battle, and I hope you can write a body-protecting poem for him.”
The expressions of a group of creatures around them changed slightly, and many showed envy.
“What is a body-protecting poem?” a creature asked.
“Immortal Taibai has three treasures, one is the sword, two is the brush, and three is the poem. The brush and sword are the treasures you can see now. This poem is his move. The poems he recites can turn into spells, and the poems he writes can turn into treasures, which is extremely magical,” a creature explained.
“If Immortal Taibai had not been in seclusion all the time, this Third Heaven would be full of his legends. It's just a pity that, for some reason, Immortal Taibai has always been unwilling to have too much contact with other creatures.”
“If he really has a connection with me, it doesn't matter if I give him a poem, but the premise is that he is worthy of my poem,” Immortal Taibai said.
The long-bearded old man chuckled upon hearing this and was about to speak when he noticed Ji Dongfeng's figure appearing beside him.
“He's here,” the long-bearded old man smiled.
“Damn, why is your outfit the same as the Poet Immortal Li Taibai?” Ji Dongfeng looked at Immortal Taibai, his eyes lighting up.
“Li Taibai… it's been a long time since someone called me that,” Immortal Taibai laughed.
Ji Dongfeng shouted excitedly upon hearing this, “Damn! Are you really Li Bai?!”
“Which one fought to the death with the demon cultivator in the First Heaven!”
