Yikes—

Yao Mengji and the others felt their skin crawl. They went cold all over.

However, although they were terrified, they did not want to beg for mercy.

Yao Mengji raised his hand and took out the Tianxin Zither. He played the zither with determination. He had a zither duet with Gu Xirou.

The Holy Emperor looked serious, too. He took out his Gold Alms Bowl and casted spells. Red hot flames rose from the alms bowl and transformed into a fiery dragon. The fire dragon circled and attacked the Xuanyin Immortal Water.

Sizzle—

The flames went out immediately when in contact with the Xuanyin Immortal Water. It was useless.

The Holy Emperor did not look happy at all. It was a fated and expected result but he still felt helpless.

Jang!

Yao Mengji and Gu Xirou played their zithers like the sounds crossed strands of strings. The sounds were expanding in waves, covering everyone like a shield.

Splash!

The Xuanyin Immortal Water acted up, cornering everyone into the center of the shield. Its huge waves were like the mouths of beasts, about to swallow everyone whole.

Yao Mengji and Gu Xirou were visibly exhausted. Their zithers were gradually defenseless.

“Haha, why the meaningless struggle?” the scrawny elder laughed cruelly. Then, he said, “As a cultivator, you should take opportunities and avoid trouble. Go with the flow. That’s the way to live long lives. It’s not too late to beg for mercy!”

“Beg for mercy? Nonsense!” the Holy Emperor said. He hated that he was useless.

He looked at his Gold Alms Bowl and suddenly had an idea!

“Longevous Qingfeng, stop being in a daze. Hurry up and help!”

After he said that, he groaned and crushed his Gold Alms Bowl. Then, the crushed pieces started to regroup as elements.

Longevous Qingfeng was startled. “Holy Emperor, what are you doing? You crushed your Livelihood Treasure?!”

“It’s already crushed, I don’t want it anymore! Did you forget what the expert said? A speaker. We have to make a speaker on the spot to amplify their zither sounds!”

The Holy Emperor was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He endured it and said, “Snap out of it! Are you perhaps afraid to die?!”

“Me? Afraid to die? I’m left with only three hundred years. So what if I die?”

Longevous Qingfeng was immediately pissed off. “I’m proud to die by battling an Immortal! It’s also a battle for my people and the realm! I’d be honored to die!”

Then, he took out a green wind chime without saying another word. He tore it apart!

“Let’s combine our Livelihood Treasures! My Livelihood Treasure’s a wind-type. It can help enhance the zither!”

Longevous Qingfeng was slightly insane. “Come on! Merge!”

The two items quickly merged into a huge shiny speaker. It filtered the zither sounds and made it five times louder!

Jam!

The zither sounds seemed to be working. It gradually pushed the Xuanyin Immortal Water away!

“Haha, I’m still useful!” laughed the Holy Emperor.

Sigh!

Suddenly, the painting scroll that Nanan was holding automatically flew up into the sky with a long sigh. It shined like a halo that surrounded everyone.

The painting unscrolled itself and the writings transformed into the Immortal with the white hair again. The figure levitated.

Nanan looked at him and hurriedly said, “Grandpa Immortal!”

“Nanan, I have a consciousness that was gifted by the Master. It’s to protect you.”

The elder looked at Nanan lovingly. “The time has come. Let me help you out!”

He emitted Spiritual Qi. White light rained down like the zither sounds, covering the Xuanyin Immortal Water.

Power of Devour started to appear in waves. It started to devour the Xuanyin Immortal Water!

However, the Xuanyin Immortal Water was birthed in a land of despair. It existed in death for a long while so it had corrosive properties. Immortals would avoid it whenever they encountered it.

As he absorbed the Xuanyin Immortal Water, his figure was gradually weakened. He swayed as if the wind could blow him apart.

“Grandpa Immortal!” Nanan hurriedly grabbed the painting scroll but she realized the writings on it had vanished. It became a blank piece of paper.

The elder looked calm. “Since you’ve chosen the path of Devour, how’s it enough to just absorb powers? You should be able to devour anything. You should be able to devour the Xuanyin Immortal Water, Samadhi Real Fire, and the Flame of Golden Crow!”

He used his Devour experiences to help Nanan on her cultivation journey.

“A challenge?”

The scrawny elder laughed. He raised his hand and out came a levitating bracelet. Then, a threatening aura exploded out from the bracelet!

The aura was very unfamiliar, but they could tell it was not from the Immortal Realm. It seemed to be coming from the Above Immortal Realm. The bracelet was an agent!

Gu Xirou looked horrified. She said in a trembling voice, “The Ultimate Spiritual Treasure doesn’t belong to you!”

“
