Immortal Travel of Longevity

Song Bao stumbled into the rainy mist. Only now did absolute panic truly set in.

The path ahead was a blur, leaving her completely disoriented.

"Where is this..."

Song Bao grew frantic.

She looked around.

The faint light that had guided her earlier had vanished the moment she stumbled into this place.

Boom!!

A crack of thunder shook the world.

It startled a cry out of Song Bao. The thunder sounded as if it had exploded right above her head, and she immediately dropped into a crouch.

"Father, Mother!! Big Brother Chen!"

She cried out, her heart gripped by fear.

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded by her ear.

"Song Bao, come here..."

Song Bao froze. "Big Brother Chen? Big Brother Chen, where are you?"

"Come here..."

Song Bao quickly ran toward the sound.

She stumbled forward in the direction of the voice. A moment later, the rainy mist parted to reveal two silhouettes.

One was Big Brother Chen in his blue robes, and the other was a woman she had never seen before. The woman was exceptionally beautiful, yet unapproachable; merely looking at her evoked a sense of fear.

"Big Brother Chen!"

Song Bao hurried over.

Chen Changsheng reached out and rubbed her head. "It isn't a good thing for a little girl to be so curious."

Song Bao was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

Chen Changsheng offered a gentle smile. "Go back and wait to be scolded by your mother."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words settled Song Bao's heart, and she no longer felt quite as afraid as before.

She hid behind Chen Changsheng, her gaze shifting to the unknown woman.

Long Rong glanced at Song Bao, then at Chen Changsheng. She gave a cold snort. "Mister must be getting on in years to be so kind."

Chen Changsheng looked at her calmly. "The myriad spirits of the world are not ranked by class, but they are divided by good and evil."

Long Rong said, "Is good and evil not just another ranking? From the moment I first committed evil, I was already the lowest of the low in the eyes of Heaven. Even if I turned to good, I could not change that. You call me a hypocrite, but as the saying goes: judge the deed, not the heart. Is hypocritical kindness no longer kindness?"

Chen Changsheng looked at her calmly. "In my earlier years, This Chen also encountered a demon who held the exact same thoughts as you."

Long Rong asked with interest, "How did Mister treat it?"

Chen Changsheng said, "This Chen stripped away its physical body and ordered it to take on the duties of a City God. It was to protect the common people of the mortal realm and slay evil spirits—without incense, and without merit. Over time, it has suffered three hundred years of loneliness."

Long Rong gave a light snort. "I would rather die than suffer three hundred years of that torment. After three hundred years, the dao heart would be shattered. With the mind no longer present, forced into submission under the Great Dao of Heaven, I would no longer be me. That is a fate worse than death."

Only now did she truly see just how ruthless a person Chen Changsheng was.

He did not kill, but he did things far more terrifying than killing.

Chen Changsheng shook his head. "It was not as extreme as you think. This Chen simply felt that it had yet to repay its sins, and the commoners there also still..."

He sighed softly, not knowing how to continue.

Long Rong stared at Chen Changsheng and said flatly, "Hypocrite."

With that, she looked up.

A sudden flash of light appeared in the sky.

It was the might of heaven and earth, the death-urging sound of the thunder tribulation.

Long Rong exhaled, then smiled. "The Heavenly Tribulation has arrived. I must ask Mister to assist me."

Chen Changsheng looked at Song Bao beside him and said softly, "Cover your ears."

Returning to her senses, Song Bao quickly covered her ears.

Immediately following, the thunderclouds transformed into a vortex hanging directly overhead. Strong winds swept through the surroundings, as if intent on destroying everything in the area.

In Yingshan District.

The gale seemed intent on overturning this entire Market Town.

The old man beating the gong and drum immediately knelt down.

"The Water God shows his might! The Water God shows his might!"

The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The strong winds churned up everything in Yingshan District. Signboards were blown over, and roof tiles were continuously lifted off.

Cries of alarm and screams rang out through the town.

Some houses were already shaking, looking as if they might collapse under the heavy wind and rain.

Seeing the building sway, Lihua immediately panicked.

"Why, why is it shaking..."

Lihua's expression changed, quickly looking toward Yu Hongjin.

Yu Hongjin also recovered from her shock and said, "Quick, stabilize this building!"

Saying that, she scooped up Lihua and ran up to the upper floor.

The fish and the cat cast spells together. Yu Hongjin took a large gulp of wine, and the Lotus Flower mark on her forehead lit up. Streams of Magical Power transformed into a barrier, blocking the wind and rain outside.

Lihua drew upon the spiritual energy of the wind and rain to pacify them, and the inn's swaying slightly subsided.

"Where is Sister Yun?!" Yu Hongjin asked.

Lihua said, "I don't know!"

"I'll go find Sister Yun!" Yu Hongjin said. "Hold on here!"

Lihua nodded and then continued casting.

Yu Hongjin hurriedly ran downstairs, looking everywhere, but she still did not see Sister Yun.

She panicked and sought out Auntie Song.

Auntie Song was also a little flustered, saying, "I, I haven't seen her either..."

Yu Hongjin's heart jolted as she suddenly understood.

"This is bad!"

She should have known. Whenever anything happened to Chen Changsheng, Sister Yun lost her reason. She must have already run outside!

Just as Yu Hongjin was panicking, a crack of thunder suddenly rang out.

A flash of purple light flashed across her eyes.

Long Rong raised her hand and spoke, "Incense of the eight directions, help me break this tribulation!"

As her voice fell, the power of incense rising from thousands of households gathered toward Long Rong. Before long, she was enveloped by the incense.

She spoke again, "Currents of the Sheng River, protect my path!"

The fortune of the incense and the water fortune of the Sheng River intersected, tightly surrounding her.

Chen Changsheng pinched two fingers together, held them before him, and spoke softly.

"Listening Rain."

The Immortal Sword responded to his voice.

Chen Changsheng continued, "Go protect the people of Yingshan!"

The Listening Rain Sword transformed into a streak of azure light and shot into the distance, arriving above Yingshan District before long. Sword Qi circulated, shattering the strong winds churned by the clouds.

Under the purple light, Song Bao closed her eyes.

But how could merely covering her ears block the roar of the Purple Firmament?

Under the mere explosive sound, her ears bled, and all surrounding noises were cut off in that instant.

Chen Changsheng raised his two fingers again, with an edict on his lips. After a moment of silence, he called out, "I request the Heavenly Dao's protection!"

As his voice fell, a ray of golden light descended upon his body.

Seeing this scene, Long Rong frowned, but she had no time to think further.

Boom!!

A thick bolt of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning fell from the vortex.

The heavenly lightning plummeted straight toward Long Rong.
