Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 1855 Being Teasered, The Path of the Sword Immortal

After the man in white left, Mo Fan did not linger. Instead, he flashed and arrived on the Upside-Down Mountain.

He was quite familiar with the Upside-Down Mountain. He went straight to the slightly dilapidated Taoist temple, but instead of going in, he looked up and examined the sword mark on the plaque.

"The sword energy has disappeared..."

Mo Fan murmured to himself, a hint of melancholy in his heart.

There was a time when he was troubled by the sword energy here, and he also gained a lot from it.

Now that the swordplay energy has vanished, everything from the past has become just a memory.

"What, does this bring back some memories from the past?"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the Taoist temple, and then the temple gate was opened, and a figure walked out.

Mo Fan looked at the other person, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

The newcomer was none other than Huo Huang. She was dressed in a phoenix robe, her face still beautiful, and her whole being exuded an air of elegance and nobility. Hundreds of years had not left a trace on her.

"It did remind me of some things from the past."

Mo Fan withdrew his gaze and looked again at the sword mark on the plaque, saying, "It is said that this was left by the Empress back then, and it originally contained a sword energy."

"That sword energy has already been refined by Fang Yunxian, which is why she was able to condense the sword seed," Huo Huang replied. Then she looked at Mo Fan and asked, "You haven't returned for two hundred years. Why aren't you handling government affairs in the Myriad Demon Palace? What are you doing here?"

"What, you're not welcome?"

Mo Fan gave an irrelevant answer, smiling as he looked at Huo Huang.

Fire Phoenix also revealed a bright smile, and actually took a step in front of Mo Fan, then brought her beautiful face close to Mo Fan's cheek, and said with a breath as sweet as orchids, "How could I not welcome Your Majesty the Demon Emperor with your presence?"

"This humble servant would be most grateful if Your Majesty the Demon Emperor could stay as a guest on my Demon Mountain forever!"

"But are your two wicked empresses willing?"

After Huo Huang finished speaking, before Mo Fan could react, she immediately took several steps back, still smiling brightly.

"Ahem... I've come here this time specifically for matters concerning Kyushu."

Mo Fan avoided Huo Huang's gaze, coughed twice, and felt his heart pounding. He could vaguely smell the unique fragrance on her body.

"Is it only for the sake of the Nine Provinces?" Fire Phoenix pressed.

"Well... let's go inside and talk!"

Mo Fan smiled helplessly at Huo Huang.

Although the Fire Phoenix was beautiful, he had no romantic feelings for her.

Strictly speaking, Huo Huang could be considered his senior, a cultivator from the same era as Bai Hu Sheng Wang. How could he dare to have any thoughts about him?

Of course, more importantly, Mo Fan was unaware of Huo Huang's current state, because the cultivation technique Huo Huang practiced was somewhat unique.

Granny Sparrow and even the Holy Son of Phoenix could be considered part of the Fire Phoenix, which is the main reason why Mo Fan dared not have any thoughts about the Fire Phoenix.

Seeing that Mo Fan had already said that, Huo Huang didn't say anything more. Instead, she seemed to enjoy Mo Fan's embarrassed expression.

"Okay, let's go!"

"I'm not kidding you anymore!"

Huo Huang chuckled softly and stepped back into the Taoist temple.

Seeing this, Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and then followed.

The Upside-Down Mountain is now suspended in the sea of ​​clouds above Black Wind Mountain. With Yun Rou and Bai Yaoyao's current cultivation levels, they can completely bring the entire Upside-Down Mountain into their divine sense range. Faced with Huo Huang's ambiguous actions, Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

After fully entering the Upside-Down Cave Heaven, Mo Fan discovered that all the mountain lords of Upside-Down Mountain were waiting for him.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!!"

Upon seeing Mo Fan arrive, Fang Yunxian and the other mountain lords of Upside-Down Mountain immediately bowed in greeting.

They didn't have the same deep friendship as Huo Huang and Mo Fan, so naturally they couldn't be as casual as Huo Huang.

"Please, there is no need for formalities. I have come here today to discuss matters concerning the Nine Provinces with you all."

Mo Fan smiled and began to speak, then repeated what he had said at the court assembly earlier.

Upon hearing that Mo Fan intended to leave the Nine Provinces Continent, Fang Yunxian and the other cultivators were not surprised; on the contrary, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Fan's oppressive aura was simply too strong, and the influence of the Myriad Demon Emperor Dynasty was too great.

As a result, the Upside-Down Mountain has become almost obsolete over the past few centuries, which naturally puts enormous pressure on its inheritors.

In their view, the existence of the Myriad Demon Dynasty could indeed stabilize the Nine Provinces, but it would also put immense pressure on the Upside-Down Mountain, making it difficult for it to breathe.

If the Myriad Demon Dynasty leaves the Nine Provinces, then Upside-Down Mountain will still be Upside-Down Mountain, and will remain the "gatekeeper" of the entire Nine Provinces.

"Have you made a decision yet?"

Fire Phoenix couldn't help but ask.

"Well, now that the Nine Provinces are at peace, the time limit for my agreement with the former abbot is also approaching, so there is no need for me to stay in the Nine Provinces any longer."

After all, there are still millions of cultivators in the entire Myriad Demon Dynasty watching me.

I also need to be responsible for them.

"So I plan to take them with me and leave Kyushu a hundred years from now, and head to the Upper Realm!" Mo Fan said earnestly.

However, his words startled all the mountain lords of Upside-Down Mountain.

"Are you planning to ascend to heaven with the entire court?"

Array Emperor Fan Jiu's eyes widened in disbelief.

As the newly appointed Array Emperor, he has long studied array formations and naturally often comes into contact with some of the rules governing the world's operation. Therefore, he is very clear about what it means for the entire court to ascend to power.

This might seem unbelievable to many, but he understood that it was a defying act, a challenge to the entire Heavenly Dao rules of the Upper Realm by his own strength!

This isn't just a matter of whether it's a heroic feat or not; it's simply impossible to do.

"The entire court ascended to heaven?"

"It sounds interesting, although it's a little different, but it's something like that!"

Mo Fan nodded.

"You are crazy!"

"If it were just a Saint Realm cultivator ascending, that would be fine. As long as they pass the Heavenly Tribulation, they can successfully ascend to the Upper Realm."

But it seems that your Myriad Demon Emperor Dynasty only has tens of thousands of Saint Realm cultivators, right?

Most of them are beings below the Saint Realm, and these cultivators are not accepted by the rules of the Upper Realm. In other words, they have no chance of ascending to the Upper Realm through tribulation.

If you want to forcibly take them to ascend to the upper realm, you can only do so by using a spatial magic artifact to smuggle them up. However, if the Heavenly Dao of the upper realm discovers this, the consequences will be that the entire law of the upper realm will be used to annihilate them.

"At that time, not only you, but even a true immortal will die!" Fan Jiu said in a deep voice.

Although he was the array king of Upside-Down Mountain, Mo Fan had shown him great favor, so he naturally didn't want to see Mo Fan die.

Fan Jiu's words did not anger Mo Fan; instead, they moved him slightly. He then smiled and said, "I know all that you're saying. Don't worry, I still want to live a good life. Why would I seek my own death?"

Fan Jiu frowned, and seeing that Mo Fan had already said so, he didn't say anything more.

"You came to us to entrust the safety of Kyushu to us?" Fang Yunxian asked.

“That’s right. I plan to let the Nine Provinces Alliance take over the management of the Nine Provinces affairs from the Myriad Demons Dynasty. However, the Nine Provinces Alliance’s foundation is ultimately too shallow. If the Nine Provinces really encounter any major crisis in the future, we will still need your Upside-Down Mountain to take action.” Mo Fan nodded solemnly.

"Do not worry!"

"The purpose of our Upside-Down Mountain is to protect all living beings in the Nine Provinces. If we ever encounter a crisis in the future, we will risk our lives to protect everything in this world!" Fang Yunxian said in a deep voice.

"Aren't you planning to ascend?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

"If we all ascend to heaven, who will protect all living beings in the Nine Provinces in the future?"

Fang Yunxian's eyes reflected the distant clouds and mist as she softly asked a question.

Seeing Mo Fan remain silent, a faint smile appeared on her lips, but her tone became increasingly firm: "The path of cultivation is long and endless, littered with corpses along the way, and no one dares to say that they can reach the end."

The cultivators of this world exhaust their entire lives, seeking nothing more than that elusive and unattainable immortality.

But I am different.

What I cultivate is not the path to immortality, but the path of protection.

What we safeguard is the peace of the land, what we protect is the safety of all people, and what we seek is a clear conscience!

Years ago, when my sect suffered a calamity, I was filled with grief but powerless to help; now that I possess the strength to protect the Nine Provinces, I must naturally carry out this duty to the very end, without ever looking back!
