Tian Yuan

Chapter 2489 The Oriole in the Crow's Nest: Extreme Jealousy

In any era, the strong have privileges and earn the respect of others.

Mu Cangyan's attitude towards Emperor Taiwei was quite friendly, which was considered very reasonable by the other emperors.

"Thanks to you."

Emperor Taiwei remained calm and spoke the truth.

Mu Cangyan smiled and said, "It's nothing, no need to thank me."

"The path to immortality is within reach; it's time for you to take action."

After the casual conversation ended, Emperor Taiwei urged him on.

The implication was that he wouldn't pave the way for Mu Cangyan. He wasn't that obsessed with immortality.

"It's time to move forward."

Having expended countless efforts, Mu Cangyan has finally created the Path to Immortality, and he will not stop there. If he were to truly die on the Path to Immortality, he could only blame himself for insufficient preparation, and would have no regrets.

The main purpose of Mu Cangyan's conversation with everyone just now was to adjust her own mental state.

I'm in top form now, time to get down to business.

The emperors' attention was still focused on Chen Qingyuan, and the turmoil in their hearts was growing stronger and stronger, showing no signs of stopping.

Those who could attain the Dao and become emperors were all top-tier geniuses who had suppressed countless prodigies. However, when they came to the Divine Continent and saw Chen Qingyuan, they realized what a true prodigy of all ages was, and compared to him, they were worlds apart.

Hey!

It wasn't until Mu Cangyan made a move that the emperors snapped out of their daze and looked over in unison, their hearts trembling slightly.

It's obvious that Mu Cangyan is preparing to embark on the path to immortality!

Mu Cangyan, standing six zhang tall, wore a dark black robe with wide sleeves. His body was covered in festering sores. He strode forward, facing the path to immortality.

His steps were very steady, and with each step he took, the void would tremble slightly and countless Dao patterns would fly out.

His broad shoulders seemed capable of supporting the entire world.

Every fingertip exudes the intent of ultimate annihilation; if it were to fall elsewhere, it would surely cause devastating damage.

In less than ten steps, we arrived at the Path to Immortality.

Just as Mu Cangyan decided to step forward, an untimely voice rang out: "The path to immortality actually exists! Unbelievable!"

Mu Cangyan's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stopped.

At the same moment, Emperor Taiwei also showed a hint of apprehension, using this voice as a guide to try and locate the source.

"Who is speaking?"

The priestess and others felt an intense sense of crisis, as if a huge weight was hanging over their hearts, their bodies tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The fact that Mu Cangyan and Emperor Taiwei could both show a hint of solemnity meant that the newcomer was definitely someone of the same level.

Furthermore, the visitor had been hiding in the shadows, managing to deceive both Mu Cangyan and Emperor Taiwei, demonstrating extraordinary skill.

A few breaths later, a section of space in this realm collapsed.

Boom!

Space shattered, and a tall, thin old man appeared.

The old man was dressed in a simple gray cloth robe, his face was full of wrinkles, and he had lost all his hair.

On the surface, he appears to be a kind and gentle old man who poses no threat to others.

He opened his mouth, revealing a set of yellow, foul-smelling teeth. His voice was low and husky, with a hint of wicked charm: "You've managed to create the Path to Immortality. Not bad, not bad. You've got some skill."

He loudly praised Mu Cangyan, speaking in a condescending manner that made everyone who heard it feel uncomfortable.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold and solemn as everyone stared at the bald old man who had suddenly appeared.

The bald old man only had eyes for Mu Cangyan and Emperor Taiwei; he completely ignored everyone else.

"You've been hiding your true intentions quite well!"

Mu Cangyan said sternly.

The bald old man laughed loudly, "Not bad."

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The bald old man had a basic understanding of the situation in Shenzhou. He had been staying in the Chaotic Boundary Sea, concealing his presence with secret techniques, not wanting to reveal his whereabouts.

He has eyes to know the specific situation in China.

On his way, an emperor encountered a bald old man who secretly planted a mark on him. Through this emperor's perspective, he witnessed the bald old man's entire scheme for achieving immortality.

Unfortunately, that emperor didn't survive until now and has become a corpse.

The path to immortality had appeared, so the bald old man could no longer hide and rushed over with a clear intention.

"What do you call it?"

Mu Cangyan had always hesitated to wage war against the Taiwei Emperor precisely because he feared this situation. He wanted to prevent a third-party force from taking advantage of the situation and seizing the Dao Fruit.

"Nie Chang'an".

Out of respect for those of the same social standing, the bald old man did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

Nie Chang'an!

Mu Cangyan remembered this name.

This person is truly extraordinary, having hidden himself for so long before revealing himself!

After observing for a few moments, Mu Cangyan detected a familiar aura, raised his hand, and a sudden surge of law-based energy arose.

Something flew out of Nie Chang'an's arms.

call out!

Nie Chang'an immediately made a move, grabbing the object and interrupting Mu Cangyan's spellcasting.

How did you get this thing?

Looking at the two Origin Dao Leaves held in Nie Chang'an's palm, Mu Cangyan guessed the reason.

"Not long ago I met a fellow Daoist and saw her take out these two Daoist leaves, so I took the liberty of keeping them for her."

To put it nicely, it's called safekeeping; to put it bluntly, it's taking possession of it.

The fellow Daoist that Nie Chang'an mentioned was Hong Yan.

Hong Yan was an elderly woman, a top-tier existence at the peak of the Emperor Path. She had tried to kill Chen Qingyuan, thus obtaining two Dao Leaves. Sensing something was wrong, Hong Yan immediately left the Extreme Dao Feast site and headed to the Chaotic Boundary Sea to plan her next move.

It might have been a coincidence, or perhaps everything was under Nie Chang'an's control. While Hong Yan was in seclusion to comprehend the Dao, Nie Chang'an made his move, seizing the Dao Leaf with incredible speed.

The Origin Dao Leaf is a treasure that Hong Yan obtained with great difficulty; how could she simply give it away?

In the end, Nie Chang'an arrived at the Ultimate Feast with the Dao Leaf.

This shows what Hong Yan's fate was.

A once-mighty emperor lies buried in a corner of the chaotic sea. Countless years from now, if someone with exceptional fortune encounters him, they may gain immense fortune from his remains.

Those present were not fools; they could glean a great deal of information from Nie Chang'an's words alone.

No one mourned Hong Yan's death. Those who knew of it were tense and terrified, filled with apprehension towards Nie Chang'an.

"The path to immortality has been opened. Since Fellow Daoist Nie has come, why don't we travel together?"

Even now, Mu Cangyan remains in her prime, showing no fear whatsoever, and instead extends an invitation.

"Right on my mind."

Nie Chang'an grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth that was nauseating and disgusting.

Nie Chang'an carefully studied those two Origin Dao Leaves, and although he gained some insights, they did not play a decisive role.

"This little kid is really annoying!"

Suddenly, Nie Chang'an glanced at Chen Qingyuan, who was standing on a certain platform, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

He had cultivated diligently for many years to reach this point, and he was extremely jealous of Chen Qingyuan's extraordinary talent, feeling very unbalanced.
