Cultivation of immortality by toad starts with cultivating demons

Chapter 1856 Fire Phoenix's Departure, Preparing to Smuggle Away

Fang Yunxian's words touched Mo Fan deeply.

Although he wasn't sure if Fang Yunxian's words were true or false, he was still happy for Gu Wuming.

At least for now, Gu Wuming can be considered to have a successor.

"With such aspirations, I believe the spirit of the nameless ancient master will find peace in heaven."

Mo Fan gave Fang Yunxian a deep look, and then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately transmitted his voice to her: "Master Song once told me that the ancient abbot had always wanted to find a successor, and that the ancient abbot had left the successor in that thatched hut."

I had not provided an answer before, and therefore did not accept the transmission from the ancient abbot.

If you are truly prepared to protect the Nine Provinces for eternity, then when you have time, go and sit in the thatched hut of the Ancient Abbot!

Upon hearing this, Fang Yunxian glanced at the surrounding mountain lords, only to find that they did not seem to have heard Mo Fan's words, before nodding slightly.

"Alright, the purpose of my visit is to tell you these things. Now that I have told you, I will not stay any longer."

Mo Fan suddenly spoke, then bowed to the mountain lords of Daoxuan Mountain and said solemnly, "Everyone, from now on, the fate of all people in the Nine Provinces is in your hands!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will definitely protect everything on the Nine Provinces Continent!"

The mountain lords quickly returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Mo Fan smiled slightly and turned to leave.

"and many more……"

Suddenly, Huo Huang spoke up. As Mo Fan turned around, she asked urgently, "When are you planning to leave?"

Mo Fan glanced at Huo Huang with some surprise upon hearing this, then replied, "A hundred years from now!"

"Alright, then I'll come looking for you a hundred years from now!"

Huo Huang's words startled Mo Fan again. He didn't understand what she meant, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

After Mo Fan left, all the mountain lords looked at Huo Huang.

"Demon Lord, what did you mean by what you just said?" a mountain lord asked, frowning.

"Gentlemen, the reason I entered Upside-Down Mountain in the past was because of the request of the ancient abbot."

"Now that the Nine Provinces are at peace, I can leave in peace and pursue my own path."

Fire Phoenix spoke calmly.

"You are the lord of Demon Mountain, how can you just leave like that?"

The mountain lord looked at Fire Phoenix with a deep, indignant voice.

"Why not?"

"At worst, you can just abolish my title of Demon Lord, and then choose another Demon Lord later, right?"

Huo Huang glanced at the guy, then looked at Fang Yunxian and said, "You won't stop me, will you?"

"Naturally, the upside-down mountain has always been free to come and go."

Fang Yunxian smiled slightly.

"That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Huang chuckled lightly, then, without giving the other mountain lords another glance, vanished from the spot in a flash.

"Sword Master, are you really going to let the Demon Lord leave?"

The other mountain lords looked rather grim. They immediately looked at Fang Yunxian, while others looked at Array Emperor Fan Jiu, hoping he would step forward and say a few words.

"I'm so sleepy. I must not have slept well last night. Well, I'm going back to catch up on some sleep. You guys do as you please."

Fan Jiu immediately yawned, and before the mountain lords could react, he too disappeared.

This left the mountain lords speechless.

They were all newly selected mountain lords of Upside-Down Mountain in the last two hundred years. Although their cultivation had reached the Saint Realm, they were far from being comparable to the four Saint Emperors, including Fang Yunxian.

Whether for the sake of the future of Upside-Down Mountain or for their own future safety, they were unwilling to let Fire Phoenix leave.

After all, Huo Huang's strength is no less than Fang Yunxian's.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and not everything can be forced.

"Instead of placing your hopes on others, it's better to cultivate yourself diligently!"

Fang Yunxian glanced at the mountain lords, as if she could see through their thoughts, and then said calmly, "Alright, go back to your cultivation!"

After saying that, she walked straight towards a thatched hut in the distance.

That was the former residence of Gu Wuming, the abbot of the Upside-Down Temple!

Mo Fan was naturally unaware of what had happened inside Upside-Down Mountain. At this moment, he had returned to Black Wind Mountain and was enjoying the flowers in the Spirit Fruit Garden on the back of Black Wind Mountain with the two demon queens.

"Husband, are you really planning to ascend to heaven with the entire nation?" Yun Rou couldn't help but ask.

“That’s right. Everyone has followed me for so long, and with ascension imminent, I can’t just abandon them, can I?” Mo Fan nodded.

"But I learned from the memories passed down by that ice and snow dragon that it is not easy for us cultivators from the lower realm to ascend to the upper realm, and it is unheard of for an entire dynasty to ascend."

As for smuggling, that's even more dangerous. Once discovered by the Heavenly Dao of the Upper Realm, it will violate the laws and order of the Upper Realm. At that time, countless laws will transform into heavenly tribulations, and even a Great Sage will perish!

Bai Yaoyao, standing to the side, couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly, her words tinged with worry.

"Don't worry, I won't take any risks without being fully prepared."

Mo Fan smiled and spoke. He himself would naturally not dare to do such a bold thing, but Uncle Qian could!

Many years ago, he had discussed methods of smuggling with Grandpa Qian. Although it was somewhat dangerous, it was not impossible to succeed.

The usual method of smuggling involves an ascendant leading a group of cultivators who cannot ascend to force their way through the ascension gate. However, this will inevitably attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and once the smuggling is discovered, it will naturally be met with a backlash from the laws of the world.

Although Grandpa Qian's method was also a form of smuggling, it did not involve going to the upper realm through the Gate of Ascension. Instead, he found the two weakest spatial nodes in the world and used the Sky-Shuttle to silently smuggle them across, thus avoiding the attention of the Heavenly Dao in the upper realm.

The Way of Heaven is the manifestation of the world's will. Although it has the authority to monitor the world, it cannot always pay attention to the entire world. Only when a special power appears can it attract its attention.

The ascension of cultivators and the connection between the two realms is a rather special power, which is why it is possible for it to attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, spatial fluctuations will also attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, but compared to ascension and the connection between the two realms, some spatial fluctuations are not so "eye-catching".

Mo Fan had asked Grandpa Qian about this, and he explained why the Nine Netherworld Heavenly Dao hadn't discovered him when he entered the Nine Netherworld. Grandpa Qian's answer was simple: the passage was originally created to lure in cultivators from the Nine Netherworld.

In other words, the existence of that passage was intended to allow cultivators from the Nine Netherworld to better invade the Nine Provinces. This would not have a negative impact on the Nine Netherworld, and the Nine Netherworld Heavenly Dao would naturally not concern itself with it.

This is similar to how celestial beings can descend from the spirit world to the mortal realm.

When cultivators from the upper realm descend to the lower realm, their purpose is to bring resources back to the upper realm, which the Heavenly Dao of the upper realm naturally ignores. However, when cultivators from the lower realm go to the upper realm, their purpose is to divide up the resources of the upper realm, so their purpose is different. Therefore, it is not so easy for cultivators from the lower realm to go to the upper realm; they must accept the test of the upper realm, namely the Ascension Tribulation!

Simply put, it's still a matter of global resource allocation. From the perspective of the upper realm, most beings in the lower realm are inferior and not qualified to go to the upper realm. After all, if they go to the upper realm, it means they will take away some of the resources of the cultivators in the upper realm, which is not very fair to the cultivators in the upper realm.

As the will of the world, the Heavenly Way naturally takes the protection of all living beings in its own world as its primary responsibility.

Therefore, if Mo Fan wanted to lead the entire Myriad Demon Dynasty to ascend to the Upper Realm, he had no choice but to smuggle himself across. However, to smuggle himself across safely, he had to find the weakest spatial node between the two realms; otherwise, it would be difficult to do so.

And that is the problem he has been trying to solve over the past hundred years.
