2155 Familiar Aura
Scarlet Dark Valley was originally an ordinary black-grade faction at the borders of the Fiend Domain.
However, in the past 10,000 years, it rose rapidly in the vicinity.
Some people said that the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley once obtained a huge opportunity—he entered an ancient ruin by mistake and obtained an ancient diagram. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds and his combat strength increased exponentially, sweeping through all the Heaven Immortal experts in this territory!
Later on, the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley retreated and had not appeared for thousands of years.
It was said that the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley was in seclusion cultivation and was prepared to break through. When he reappeared, he would advance to the Perfected One realm and become a Perfected Fiend!
In the upper world, cultivators of the Black, Earth and Heaven Essence realms could be referred to as immortals no matter which Dharmic Dao they cultivated. They were Black, Earth and Heaven Immortals.
It was said that the founder of this cultivation system was someone from the Immortal Dao to begin with.
Some people said that the Great Emperor who ruled over the previous era came from the immortal sects.
As time passed by, some worlds began to have their own unique titles, such as Black and Earth Witches of the Witch World—the difference was negligible.
It was the same for the Heavenly World.
In the Fiend Domain and Pure Land of Bliss, the cultivators of the Black, Earth and Heaven Essence realms retained their immortal sect traditions.
However, once one condensed a Dao Fruit and entered the Perfected One realm, the way they were addressed would change!
A Perfected One cultivator of the Fiend Domain was known as a Perfected Fiend and a Perfected One cultivator of the Pure Land of Bliss was known as an Arhat.
If the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley were to condense a Dao Fruit and become a Perfected Fiend, the level of Scarlet Dark Valley would rise as well and become an earth-grade faction!
At that time, all the sects and factions in the vicinity would have to bow down!
For thousands of years, although the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley was in seclusion and did not appear, his reputation grew.
It was because the only son of the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley, Heaven Immortal Chi Li, had risen at a speed not inferior to the Valley Master or even faster!
In the territory of thousands of kilometers around Scarlet Dark Valley, Heaven Immortal Chi Li was already invincible when he was only at the Level 8 Heaven Essence realm!
It could be said that Heaven Immortal Chi Li was even stronger than the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley in the past.
To everyone, Heaven Immortal Chi Li was younger than 100,000 years old and had unlimited potential. His future accomplishments would be even greater than the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley!
This day.
Scarlet Dark Valley, main hall.
Heaven Immortal Chi Li sat high in the middle with narrowed eyes that shone with a cold glint as he looked at the cultivators beneath him.
There were dozens of people in the main hall and they were all Heaven Immortals.
Furthermore, the cultivation of these Heaven Immortals was not weak. The weakest were at least Grade 7!
Almost all the Heaven Immortals in the hall were the protectors of Scarlet Dark Valley. They had noble statuses in the valley and led many Earth Immortals and Black Immortals.
On the left and right of Heaven Immortal Chi Li, there were two people sitting right beside him—both of them were Grade 9 Heaven Immortals.
Tian Ze and Pi Feng were the main protectors of Scarlet Dark Valley.
"Young master, I've just received news that the purple-robed man has appeared once more. From the looks of it, there's a high chance he'll pass by Scarlet Dark Valley."
"Young master, let me bring some men and we'll definitely be able to kill this person!"
Below, a burly man stood up and shouted.
"Protector Hu, you won't be able to defeat that person with your strength,"
A protector with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sneered and mocked.
"Hmph, if I can't, can you?"
Protector Hu asked loudly with widened eyes.
"Naturally, I can't either. In my opinion, the few of us might not be a match for that person even if we join forces. That person's background is mysterious. I'm afraid only the young master can suppress him personally,"
The person said.
When he heard that, Heaven Immortal Chi Li revealed an imperceptible smile, as though he was satisfied.
"Tian Ze, Pi Feng, what do you guys think?"
Heaven Immortal Chi Li looked at the two protectors on his left and right.
Tian Ze said in a deep voice, "Young master, for the past thousand years, this person has appeared every once in a while and has already destroyed close to ten black-grade factions such as Yellow Sand Palace, Eight Limbs Mountain, Evil Moon Temple, Purple Star Temple and Malevolent Fiend Pavilion."
"From what I know, those factions also had Heaven Immortal experts presiding over. However, they were all killed by this person. He's definitely hostile."
"Hostile?"
Heaven Immortal Chi Li harrumphed coldly and said slowly, "Such a person is not allowed in my territory. I want him dead!"
Tian Ze said, "In my opinion, there's no need for us to fight him. Why don't we try and recruit him as our subordinate?"
Pi Feng nodded slightly. "Young master, I agree with the Left Protector as well."
Heaven Immortal Chi Li's expression turned cold as he asked, "Why? Do you guys not have confidence in Scarlet Dark Valley or me?"
"Can't I kill this person with my capabilities? I don't dare to say anything about the entire Fiend Domain, but in this land, I reign supreme against everyone beneath the Perfected Immortal realm!"
"Your methods are naturally unparalleled, young master,"
Tian Ze and Pi Feng said hurriedly.
Pausing for a moment, Tian Ze continued, "However, that person is not weak and can be considered as a talent. If you can take him under your wing, it will increase your reputation."
"Yes… you do have a point,"
Heaven Immortal Chi Li murmured softly.
Pi Feng said deeply, "How about this? If that person comes, we'll give him a chance first. If he's tactful, you can take advantage of the situation and take him under his wing, young master. If he's tactless, we'll kill him on the spot!"
"Sure, that's fine,"
Heaven Immortal Chi Li nodded slightly, very satisfied with that suggestion.
…
Ten days later.
The moment the Martial Dao Prime Body arrived at Scarlet Dark Valley, a group of cultivators welcomed him. The two people in the lead were the main protectors of Scarlet Dark Valley, Tian Ze and Pi Feng.
The two protectors released their spirit consciousnesses and sized up the Martial Dao Prime Body carefully but could not make out anything.
"Fellow Daoist, our young master invites you in,"
Tian Ze cupped his fists and said.
"Who is your young master?"
The Martial Dao Prime Body wore a cold mask and asked expressionlessly.
"Heaven Immortal Chi Li,"
Pi Feng said, "Our young master has already prepared a banquet and is waiting for you to take your seat, Fellow Daoist."
The Martial Dao Prime Body was not interested in this young master or his banquet.
His only goal was cultivation resources. He wanted to cultivate as soon as possible and deduce the Martial Dao.
Just as the Martial Dao Prime Body was about to reject, his expression changed and he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking into the depths of Scarlet Dark Valley.
Over there, he sensed a familiar aura that he had not felt for a long time!
An extremely intense hatred surged into the skies, hating the heavens and the earth and filled with negative emotions that were berserk!
When Tian Ze saw the Martial Dao Prime Body looking into the distance, as though he was moved, he said, "That's the main hall of Scarlet Dark Valley. The young master has been waiting for a long time."
"Alright, I'll go take a look,"
The Martial Dao Prime Body clenched his fists instinctively and said indifferently.
Tian Ze and Pi Feng thought that this was merely the Martial Dao Prime Body's personality. Although they could hear the coldness in his tone, they did not take it seriously.
Furthermore, everything would be under their control once he entered the main hall of Scarlet Dark Valley!
