Chapter 265: Temporary Peace

The Snow-Haired Elder had his own method of fusion.

However, this method was so torturous that he had undergone endless suffering over the years.

If there were a more perfect fusion method, he would certainly seek it.

“Disciple, write it down for me to see.”

“Yes, Master.”

Chen Ansheng respectfully condensed a wisp of black alien immortal power and began to demonstrate the writing in front of the old man.

As for the characters?

Chen Ansheng wrote a small section of the Demon Scripture left behind by his deceased Immortal Sovereign master, Zhu Feng, using alien immortal script as form, with Elder Ji’s magical realm script for meaning, interspersed with some characters from the Lost Realm.

“What kind of script is this?”

Not to mention the Snow-Haired Elder, even the King of Heaven wouldn’t understand it.

“I don’t recognize it either…”

Chen Ansheng shrugged.

“Then how do you know that this is a method of fusion?”

The Snow-Haired Elder frowned as he stared at Chen Ansheng.

“This is a long story.” Chen Ansheng lied without a hint of embarrassment, instead speaking very seriously: “The disciple accidentally wandered into a forbidden zone and saw two extremely terrifying celestial bodies floating in the sky. Later, a terrifying power erupted, and I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself protected by this imperial weapon, and strong beings left some strange memories in my mind.

“Although I don’t recognize these characters, I can roughly sense their meaning; it has to do with fusion and carries very low risk.”

Upon hearing this, the Snow-Haired Elder furrowed his brows.

Such an incident occurred with this kid?

Could it be that some powerful being encountered an issue with alien immortals and, out of desperation, chose him as a successor?

It seemed this kid had a hint of the aura of a destined child.

Regardless of whether his words were true or not, it was best to spare his life for now, as he wouldn’t be able to escape his own forbidden zone.

“In that case, you must have encountered a great opportunity.” After some internal speculation, the Snow-Haired Elder said.

“Yet aside from using the Divine Earth Stone to open the Alien World, I haven’t gained any other benefits. That’s puzzling.” Chen Ansheng looked frustrated.

“Hahaha.” The Snow-Haired Elder laughed heartily and said, “I fear the time isn’t right yet. Once the time comes, the memories you have inherited will unlock, helping you soar to new heights.”

“Is there really such good fortune?” Chen Ansheng’s face lit up with joy as he hurriedly clasped his hands: “Thank you, Master, for clearing my doubts. If I ever unlock the memory seal, I will definitely turn it all over to you.”

The Snow-Haired Elder silently chuckled; this little brat was truly foolish; there was no need to kill him after all.

“That is your fortune; how can you give it to me?” The Snow-Haired Elder thought about it but maintained a semblance of being a mentor, “Alright, let’s not discuss this any further. Follow me back to the palace.”

“Yes, Master.”

Feeling the killing intent completely dissipate, Chen Ansheng quietly sighed in relief and dispersed the Alien World.

This hurdle had been navigated for now.

In the palace.

As soon as the Snow-Haired Elder returned with Chen Ansheng, he saw a fierce general wearing red battle armor and holding a patterned spear kneeling at the entrance.

“Reporting to the Immortal King, I am incompetent and have not yet found any trace of that female demon. Please impose a punishment, my lord.”

This fierce general, in Chen Ansheng’s perception, was certainly not weaker than Gu Miaoyan, and might even be a lower-grade Immortal King.

“Get up. This matter is not your fault. That female demon killed my grandson and stole the Linglong Essence; even this king cannot trace her whereabouts.”

The Snow-Haired Elder said lightly.

“Thank you, Immortal King.”

The general stood up.

“Congang, that female demon will not escape Peace City. From now on, you shall apprehend all suspicious women. It’s better to wrongfully kill than to let any escape.” A chilling murderous intent revealed itself in the Snow-Haired Elder’s eyes.

Wu Congang felt a chill down his spine. He wanted to say something but hesitated after glancing at Chen Ansheng standing to the side.

“Speak freely.”

The Snow-Haired Elder waved dismissively.

“Yes.” Wu Congang finally spoke up: “My lord, if we capture and kill all the women in the city, it may cause panic and affect the reputation of Peace City.”

“Hmph.” The Snow-Haired Elder sneered, “The people here are merely flesh and blood I cultivate. The time is almost ripe. There’s no need to preserve any reputation; just carry on with it.”

Hearing this, Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but feel a tightening in his chest.

He recalled how, back in the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion, under “Elder Dong’s” orders, they had deceived those in need to supply food for the slumbering Dong Xianwang, and their fate had been tragic.

And today, Peace City, in the depths of this wretched dragon sea, was not a true place of peace.

This old fellow deliberately created this paradise to lure people to settle here, only waiting to use them all as food when he required fusion.

Realizing this, Chen Ansheng couldn’t help but lament how perilous the immortal realm was—a single misstep could lead to irreversible consequences.

Wu Congang received his orders and withdrew.

In the coming days, Peace City was bound to run with blood.

“Disciple, do you think I am too ruthless?”

The Snow-Haired Elder suddenly asked.

“Master has his reasons for doing so; I dare not comment recklessly. From now on, in my heart, everything Master does is right, and I wouldn’t dare harbor any thoughts of defiance.” Chen Ansheng expressed his thoughts insincerely.

The Snow-Haired Elder patted Chen Ansheng’s shoulder, “I won’t explain the reasons to you in detail. Your attitude is very correct, and it pleases me greatly.”

“Thank you for your praise, Master.”

“By the way…” The Snow-Haired Elder continued, “Today you have entered my doors and accomplished great merits. I had promised to reward you, so if you have any requests, feel free to bring them up.”

“I dare not.” Chen Ansheng’s mind raced, and he quickly turned the conversation, “But if Master could provide me with a quiet place for meditation, I would be immensely grateful.”

“Don’t you want any magical treasures or pills?” The Snow-Haired Elder sensed something was off about this kid.

Chen Ansheng quickly explained, “Reporting to you, Master, I know that the method of fusion is extremely important to you. That’s why I want to find a peaceful place for deeper meditation to see if I can unlock the memory seal sooner and assist you.”

After hearing this, the Snow-Haired Elder’s doubts were swept away.

It seemed this foolish kid was just incredibly loyal; taking him under his wing might indeed prove useful.

“Alright, alright, since you have this filial piety, I shall grant your request.”

Saying this, the Snow-Haired Elder waved his sleeve, and a spatial treasure appeared.

“This is the True Spirit Treasure Tower. You can meditate and cultivate within this tower without anyone disturbing you. Take it.”

“Thank you, Master! I will go and cultivate right away!”

Chen Ansheng appeared taken aback, looking grateful as he accepted the treasure tower.

“Mm, go ahead.”

Having received permission, the stone in Chen Ansheng’s heart finally dropped.

And what to do next?

Of course, he would secretly find Master Elder Ji to see if he had any way to save himself.
