Chapter 1937 - 223: Immortal Monarch Du’e, Pinnacle of Heavenly Immortal

The river roared.

The waters were murky, carrying billions of golden sands, surging wave upon wave.

"Everyone—"

Suddenly, a resonant voice erupted from the river.

Soon after, a human-like shadow emerged over the river’s surface.

It was an ethereal image of a man in blue robes, his features indistinct, his robes like distant Qingshan hills.

"Brother Qingshan—"

Another resonant voice arose from the river’s waters.

Following this, a figure bathed in white light appeared on the distant river surface.

The long robes resembled white cloud Immortal Cranes, ethereal and transcendent.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist Qingshan!"

A lingering melody sounded, a melodious voice of a woman.

Following this, a bluish-green shadow materialized on the river’s surface.

"Fellow Daoist Qingshan!"

The voice thundered, spreading across the waves.

A mysterious yellow shadow simultaneously appeared.

"Qingshan!"

At this moment, an ephemeral sound descended from above the river, as if echoing from all directions, an imposing voice akin to the emperor above the Nine Heavens.

"Salutations to Xuan E Immortal Monarch—"

"Salutations to Xuan E Immortal Monarch—"

"Salutations to Xuan E Immortal Monarch—"

"Salutations to Xuan E Immortal Monarch—"

The three figures that had just appeared, along with the initially appearing figure named Qingshan, all collectively bowed to the purple aura figure emerging over the river.

"I’ve arrived, speak your thoughts!" The purple aura figure called Xuan E Immortal Monarch spoke.

"Xuan E Immortal Monarch!" The bluish-green figure gave a distant salute to the purple aura of Xuan E Immortal Monarch and then said: "Whether the Martial Saint has passed on remains a mystery. We must first probe this before proceeding with our plans."

"Indeed!" The white light figure nodded slightly, "Water Cloud Fairy speaks rightly; the Martial Saint has dominated the world for over eight centuries. If he has truly passed, we can finally emerge from the Grotto Heaven, strategize on confronting the impending calamity, which is also a great opportunity! The unification of Ten Domains marks unprecedented change. However, with the current uncertainty, if we rashly emerge and fall into the Martial Saint’s trap, unless Xuan E Immortal Monarch intervenes personally, none among us can oppose him."

"I agree with this statement!" Another yellow aura figure nodded, voice deep as a mountain, "But who will probe? Even if we Heavenly Immortals step out of the Grotto Heaven, we are no match for the Martial Saint! Who dares take this risk? Yet, if we do not act, who can confront the King Luoshui?"

"Indeed, the second offspring is truly troublesome!" The white light figure spoke, continuing: "White Cloud Chief’s foremost disciple wielded the Immortal Sword to the Royal Capital, only to fall at the hands of King Luoshui! Now, King Luoshui has truly grown, allowing me to faintly glimpse the silhouette of the Martial Saint."

With this statement, silence befell the river’s surface.

Only the relentless river waters clashed and collided, producing thunderous roars.

"My reasons for coming today mainly concern the second offspring!" The purple orb-surrounded Xuan E Immortal Monarch slowly spoke.

"Xuan E Immortal Monarch, what do you mean?" The bluish-green figure hinted a bewildered expression.

"To you, whether the Martial Saint has passed is crucial, but to me, King Luoshui is the pivotal factor!" The purple orb-surrounded Xuan E Immortal Monarch spoke and continued, "King Luoshui now possesses the capabilities of past figures, invincible in this world yet younger; given time, another Martial Saint may re-emerge. No matter if Mo Chen lives or dies, he has reached his limits, differing only by a few years, sooner or later."

Upon finishing, Xuan E Immortal Monarch paused.

He continued: "But King Luoshui differs; if he truly reaches that pinnacle, the scene from eight hundred years ago will recur upon entering the worldly realm. I am not his opponent."

"Then... Immortal Monarch may you..." The bluish-green figure hesitated, glancing at Xuan E Immortal Monarch.

"Shui Yun! Do you wish me dead?!!" The purple-circled Xuan E Immortal Monarch slowly spoke.

But each word fell like world-shattering lightning.

Exploding with booming waves upon the lake’s surface.

This seemingly unimposing scene struck the hearts of the other four figures.

For their meeting took place above the River of Time.

The river’s waters, each drop heavier than myriad tonnes, contained the most original power.

Even stirring them slightly proved difficult.

Yet Xuan E Immortal Monarch’s mere sound could explode waves upon the Long River.

This immense power filled their hearts with fear.

"Is this the Heavenly Immortal Extreme Realm, the power of blooms of five flowers?!" The figure named Qingshan trembled within.

"Xuan E Immortal Monarch, calm your wrath!!" The bluish-green figure bowed.

"It is no longer our era!" Xuan E Immortal Monarch slowly spoke.

With these words, the four instantly understood.

In the convoluted matter, the focus still lay on the Martial Saint’s living status.

Being not the era of Immortal Dao, even one like Xuan E Immortal Monarch from Nine Heavens at the peak of Heavenly Immortal, flowers blooming fivefold, dared not face the aged Martial Saint.

"Xuan E Immortal Monarch, I have a proposal!" Just then, a blue figure that had remained silent spoke.

Hearing this, the other figures, including Xuan E, turned their attention to the blue figure.

"What insight does fellow Daoist Qingshan have?" The purple-circled Xuan E Immortal Monarch asked.

"Given the previously displayed strength of King Luoshui, I now have three strategies to address him." The blue figure spoke.

"What three strategies?" Xuan E Immortal Monarch inquired.

"Firstly, I can contact several newly revived Gods to take action. The Gods are eternal; they are unlike us, unrestricted by earthly conditions." The blue figure glanced at Xuan E Immortal Monarch.
