Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

"Mother is seeing who has fallen again."

The woman in the purple dress spoke slowly, her voice ethereal, echoing in the hall like the sound of spring water flowing through a mountain stream.

The boy on her shoulder asked confusedly, "What is there to see? People die all the time, don't they? As long as less than half of the lamps on this wall are extinguished, the fortune of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm won't be severed."

The woman in the purple dress replied, "Three wandering immortals have died recently, all from the same place. This place is close to the Star Sea Congregations; I don't know if it's their plot or if someone else is causing trouble in the dark."

The boy followed her gaze to the oil lamps on the wall and began to ponder.

At this moment, footsteps echoed from the darkness behind, and an old voice said,

"Cave Master, the spirit mirror is showing divine sense fluctuations."

When the woman in the purple dress heard this, she turned and walked into the darkness.

The boy on her shoulder turned his head to look, his clear eyes drawn to the oil lamps on the wall.

...

Under the night sky, in a dilapidated city.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord sat meditating in front of a fire, with Chu Jingfeng sitting next to him.

Chu Jingfeng occasionally glanced into the distance; beneath the moonlight, dense fog surged, vaguely revealing terrifying ghostly shadows.

"Can you feel it?" the Nine-Finger Divine Lord suddenly asked.

Chu Jingfeng's thoughts were pulled back, and he cautiously asked, "Master, feel what?"

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord whispered, "It is approaching."

"Who is it?"

"The Immortal Spirit of Divine Exotic City."

Chu Jingfeng's eyes widened, and his breath quickened.

Since coming to Divine Exotic City, he had learned about the Immortal Spirit from the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.

As long as the Immortal Spirit accepted a master, one could control the great power of Divine Exotic City!

The Immortal Spirit's choice of master was not solely based on cultivation level; it might also depend on fate, which was why so many non-Immortal Path Realm beings came to adventure here.

Chu Jingfeng did not dare to hope that he could obtain Divine Exotic City, but he hoped his master could.

The stronger his master became, the more benefits he would get. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he was grateful to the Nine-Finger Divine Lord—it was the Nine-Finger Divine Lord who had given him a chance to be reborn.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord stopped speaking and continued absorbing energy.

Chu Jingfeng then began to imagine what might happen next.

After entering the city with the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, he had witnessed many battles. No matter how strong the demons and ghosts were, they were no match for his master.

He believed that as soon as the Immortal Spirit appeared, his master would inevitably control it and thus dominate Divine Exotic City!

The moon set and the sun rose.

The sun rose in the east outside the city.

Chu Jingfeng was practicing Qi absorption cultivation when he suddenly felt the ground tremble. He opened his eyes to find the surrounding buildings shaking.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who was sitting opposite him, slowly stood up. Before Chu Jingfeng could ask, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord raised his hand, and both of them soared into the sky.

Chu Jingfeng looked down and his eyes widened in fear.

He saw endless demons and ghosts appearing in all directions, surging like black waves, engulfing the city's buildings, and stimulating his eyes.

"This is the true power of Divine Exotic City, the Divine Soul Demons. Over countless years, an endless number of Divine Soul Demons have accumulated here. This is a force that can overthrow the Mortal World."

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord spoke indifferently, looking into the distance.

Before Chu Jingfeng could respond, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord raised his right hand and pressed down.

Boom—

The city below instantly collapsed, and countless Divine Soul Demons dissipated into ghostly mist. It seemed as if the entire earth was collapsing, with dust flying up, turning the sky and ground murky.

Chu Jingfeng vaguely heard a child's playful laughter, like a ghost, giving him goosebumps.

...

Divine Exotic City, East Gate.

The gate stood open, and from outside, the streets inside appeared empty.

Suddenly, the space inside the gate rippled, and three people emerged: Chi Bei, Chi Jiuxiao, and An Hao.

The three of them walked ten steps forward. An Hao turned to look back, seeing the majestic city gate of Divine Exotic City, and sighed in relief.

Finally, they were out!

"An Hao?"

A voice came from afar; An Hao looked and saw a group of cultivators in the distance, including Lv Baitian.

An Hao quickly called out, "Master!"

He was about to go over, but Chi Bei blocked him.

"From now on, do not acknowledge your association with the Supreme Sect," Chi Bei said sternly, his gaze fixed on the distance.

An Hao frowned and asked, "Why?"

"They are here!"

Chi Bei's expression turned serious. He raised his hand, pulling out a magic artifact, ready for battle.

Chi Jiuxiao also took out the Dragon-Slaying Spear, cursing under his breath, "It's troublesome to be in the territory of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. These guys move fast."

"After seven days and the fall of two wandering immortals, it's impossible for the Seven Stars Spirit Realm not to have noticed." Chi Bei said calmly.

Chi Jiuxiao looked at him and asked, "Master, what do we do?"

Chi Bei sneered, "If the Seven Stars Spirit Realm makes a move, our Star Sea Congregations will respond in kind!"

Hearing this, Chi Jiuxiao showed a smile of delight. He turned to look into the distance, his face lighting up with excitement.

"So it's you, Chi Bei of the Chi family from the Star Sea Congregations. Do you know the consequences of killing our disciples in the territory of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?"

An icy voice echoed through the sky, the killing intent in it sending a chill down the spines of all beings outside the city.

The disciples of the Supreme Sect quickly stood up, nervously looking into the distance.

Terrifying auras erupted from all directions, shaking the earth and mountains.

An Hao looked around and found that they were surrounded.

Such a fearsome aura, could it be from wandering immortals as well?

He was secretly alarmed, his eyes turning towards Chi Bei, wondering if this senior could hold out.

When would the wandering immortals of the Star Sea Congregations arrive?

"Oh? So this land belongs to the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. I thought you had long abandoned it!"

A domineering voice rang out, opposing the previous wandering immortal of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

Chi Bei clearly recognized the owner of this voice, a smile appearing on his face.

The true battle of the wandering immortals was about to begin!

...

The world was desolate, and smoky ghostly mist pervaded the land. Chu Jingfeng stood on a gourd, surrounded by a faint light veil.

His eyes were fixed ahead.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord stood bare-chested, surrounded by fiery energy, his hair wild, looking like a war god, his posture imposing!

In front of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord floated a fiery red phoenix, its wings spanning a thousand feet, flapping as fiery waves surged, like dragons sweeping towards the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.

"Humph! Since you refuse to bow, I can only subdue you!"

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord spoke, his eyes cold, his body covered with black runes, crawling and horrific.

With those words, he suddenly charged towards the phoenix.

The phoenix let out an ear-piercing screech, flapping its wings once more. The surrounding dust waves scattered, revealing terrifying ghostly figures, each a hundred feet tall, clad in battle armor, wielding long weapons, like ancient divine generals, exuding an unrivaled aura!

In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord was engulfed by these terrifying ghostly figures.

Boom—

A violent gale exploded, scattering the ghostly figures. The Nine-Finger Divine Lord burst forth with relentless energy, striking towards the phoenix, shaking the mountains and rivers.

This punch shattered space, and an ancient bell seemingly from the river of time emerged from a space rift, crashing directly into the phoenix.

The enormous phoenix seemed small as a sparrow before a tree compared to this ancient bell.

The phoenix let out a mournful cry, as chains emerged from the surface of the bell, quickly binding the phoenix.

No matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free from the chains.

The air was filled with a frenzied energy as more and more Divine Soul Demons approached from all directions, of various sizes and forms, with even a thousand-foot-tall Divine Soul descending from the sky.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord faced countless enemies alone, his punches and kicks like the wind, shaking the mountains and rivers, unstoppable.

Chu Jingfeng stood on the gourd, his blood boiling as he looked on. Though he couldn't see the specific movements of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord clearly, seeing those Divine Soul Demons being destroyed one after another, he could feel the immense power of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord!

So strong!

At this moment, Chu Jingfeng even felt that the Sword Dao was not the ultimate path; the path of the physical body was the strongest!

The world roared, and the earth continuously raised dust. No matter how many Divine Soul Demons the Nine-Finger Divine Lord eradicated, there were always more to come.

Rumble—

An enormous shadow rose at the edge of the world, like a mountain towering up, awe-inspiring.

Chu Jingfeng looked from afar, feeling a chilling aura.

"What is that..." he thought, terrified.

Before he could think further, the mysterious giant shadow stepped out from the dust waves that covered the sky. It was a figure ten thousand feet tall, with a strong build, each muscle like a rocky mountain, exuding a power that made all living things fear.

It was entirely black, with disheveled hair, wearing only armored pants, and holding a massive axe in its hand.

Wielding the axe in both hands, it swept forward. The force of the axe, even without reaching, sent a devastating wind along its path, nearly flinging the gourd Chu Jingfeng stood on.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord appeared in front of the gourd out of thin air, throwing a punch.

Dong—

The deafening roar echoed, as the Nine-Finger Divine Lord met the mysterious giant's axe with his own power.

Both sides retreated; the Nine-Finger Divine Lord frowned, feeling his right fist numb.

The mysterious giant stabilized after retreating several steps, then swung the axe again. This time, the mysterious force from the heavens gathered on the axe blade, slashing down with the power of creation!

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord raised his hand, which had only four fingers, extending two fingers as a golden beam shot out, piercing through the murkiness of the world, sweeping all obstacles aside!

Boom—

The ten-thousand-foot-tall giant shadow was annihilated by the golden light, leaving a vacuum in the world, and a huge canyon appeared below, astonishing Chu Jingfeng.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord turned and flew towards the phoenix.

The phoenix was still trapped by the ancient bell, unable to move.

Just as the Nine-Finger Divine Lord was about to approach the phoenix, a figure appeared out of thin air, raising a hand to capture the phoenix.

The phoenix with wings spanning a thousand feet shrank to the size of a palm!

"Who are you?" the Nine-Finger Divine Lord asked in a deep voice. He didn't rashly advance, as he couldn't gauge the person's strength.

Gu An, in his Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body form, turned to the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and said, "The Immortal Spirit, I'll take it."

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord's face instantly twisted with rage, and he roared angrily, "Arrogant!"
