The Shadow of Immortality-Chapter 117: The Illusion Formation

• "Finally, after all this work, we have completely destroyed the Illusion Formation."

Clark looked ahead.

A vast plain stretched as far as the eye could see, filled with condensed fire and ice, and obviously dangerous.

Gu Chang spoke warmly:

• "Thanks to the work of Master Jin and Zo Long, we finished the work in shorter periods. But the fruits of our hard work have all borne results thanks to that. We can finish early, perhaps even within two weeks."

Jin clasped his hands.

• "Glad our work, mine and my companion’s, pleased you. But the Refinement Conference is nearing its end. What is your opinion, my Lord? My mind is tired from thinking and is now preoccupied with the formation we must solve. Everyone!!!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Clark looked coldly at Jin.

• "How clever. He’s now pressuring Master Shark’s Den to get a reward. Fine, let me help him a little."

Clark clasped his hands behind his back and said:

• "Master Gu Chang, if not for Master Jin inviting me to accompany him, and us being sworn brothers, I want to consider my brother Jin. He has made astonishing contributions."

Gu Chang looked at Jin and smiled.

• "Brother Jin, I have burdened you. I will present you with a generous reward. Your hard work will help me. Please accept my gift."

Jin continued cultivating the Transformation Path, but what he lacked most was the complete "Sword Dragon Form." And it seemed his need was now in Gu Chang’s hands.

A white light burst from Gu Chang’s chest.

He took out from his Immortal Will the immortal-level Extreme Move of seventh rank: "Sword Dragon Form."

Jin took it with a calm smile. He didn’t show excessive excitement; he was completely composed.

Huang Bo looked angrily. He was in complete darkness, but could no longer contain himself.

• "What have we done? This is malice! How can you exploit the Lord’s kindness to get a reward?!"

Clark looked with a cold gaze and icy killing intent.

This companion had been annoying the whole time because he was envious and wanted a reward. But he had been standing in darkness the whole time.

Also, someone had to speak and respond to him because Gu Chang looked at him with interest.

It seemed he would support Huang Bo after all.

Jin spoke:

• "It seems Master Huang misunderstood. But you didn’t contribute anything. You’ve been talking nonsense the whole time. Why are you so narrow-minded like this? As I see, you’re angry because you don’t possess a complete Star Path heritage. Fine, as everyone present here knows, you didn’t succeed in the chance encounter."

• "Master Zo Long possesses a complete Star Path heritage and amazed us as well. What he lacked was merely immortal-level Extreme Moves, nothing more."

• "So why do you like to complicate matters? Prove your worth, and we won’t disappoint you. And respect the Lord who is among us. After all, isn’t it rude to talk about him and shout in our faces, even if you are his friend?"

• "The ranks between you are Saint rank, while you are merely an ordinary Immortal. Think about it well, and you’ll find my words correct."

Huang Bo’s face became completely stunned and blue. He could no longer speak.

Even though he wasn’t directly insulted, the reply was logical and very diplomatic.

Because of that, even Lord Gu Chang couldn’t support him further.

Gu Chang spoke:

• "Alright, Huang Bo, calm down. Nothing is lost. You can achieve other gains."

• "I apologize to the two masters for what came from Huang Bo. Therefore, I invite you to my palace again to rest."

Clark replied calmly:

• "I have an idea, Master. A thought flashed in my mind during the battle to deepen my strength. Therefore, I will enter closed-door cultivation."

Gu Chang nodded to Clark with understanding.

Meanwhile, Jin spoke:

• "My Lord, as you know, five days remain until the end of the Refinement Conference, and you know how important it is."

Gu Chang laughed.

• "Of course, Master Jin is excited to see your great results. I excuse you to go. May safety accompany you."

Clark and Jin flew far from the sight of the two Immortals.

Meanwhile, Clark asked:

• "Why does he want you to win the Refinement Conference?"

Jin replied:

• "Because he wants to save his young son. His son was born with a strange condition; he had a very short lifespan. So he was forced to turn him into a zombie to live. But he found the problem: the lifespan issue that afflicted his son now needs a solution to the zombie transformation."

• "What? Can’t he remove it?"

• "Yes, he needs to refine the immortal-level Extreme Move ’Nirvana Flames,’ alongside the immortal-level Extreme Move from the Restriction Path called ’The Bound.’"

• "’The Bound’ will restrict the zombie transformation, and he managed to find that. Only ’Nirvana Flames’ remain, and refining it is extremely difficult."

• "Winning the Refinement Conference provides you with what’s called ’Dao Marks of Success,’ which increase the success rate of immortal refinement."

Clark thought for a moment and used "Sword Stars" to quickly find the suitable option...

• "Alright, it seems interesting. The idea of ’Nirvana Flames’ and ’The Bound’ is very excellent."

• "I need both of them. The matter is good, but I need to refine the immortal-level Extreme Move ’Phantom Existence.’ I had modified it, and it will provide things like aura concealment and shape modification."

• "If I share the Dao Marks of Success with Jin, the benefit... I don’t want to benefit twice. Jin must obtain ’Nirvana Flames’ and also ’The Bound.’ I want both in the end."

• "I thought deeply about using zombie combat methods from the Transformation Path. After all, they are very strong, and I will benefit from them in increasing my strength amazingly in difficult battles."

Clark spoke calmly:

• "Alright, I’ll help you. First, we’ll share the Dao Marks of Success because there’s something I want to refine too."

• "I want you to take ’Nirvana Flames’ since you will be refining it. Therefore, also take ’The Bound’ from Master Shark’s Den."

Jin asked coldly:

• "What’s the benefit of the two immortal-level Extreme Moves for you? Tell me?!"

• "I don’t want to take them from you. Just in the future, I will benefit from them. So I will help you if you agree to my condition for these two."

Jin thought for a moment, then agreed.

• "Fine, I agree. Let’s establish a blood pact because I don’t trust you. You might fight me or betray me."

Clark nodded in agreement, and they successfully made a blood pact.

The terms were simple: they would share the Dao Marks of Success. Jin would obtain ’Nirvana Flames’ and it would be his, and he would also obtain ’The Bound.’

The two returned to the Wu Clan headquarters.

Wu Zi Bo received them.

• "Master Jin and Master Zo Long, let’s go."

They had been contacted earlier by Clark and Jin. There was a difficult task for them.

An ancient celestial beast appeared, at the peak strength of a King-rank cultivator, and also close to Saint-rank strength.

It had the body of a giant bear and a giant diamond turtle shell on its back. And most disgustingly, it possessed an immortal-level Extreme Move from the Judgment Path in its body, making combat difficult.

Therefore, the head of the Wu Clan sent everyone under his command and requested help from Jin and Clark, who didn’t refuse since the gains were good.

Also, Clark had one idea: to obtain the Extreme Move from the Judgment Path at any cost.

Everyone rushed to the Devil’s Cave.

The distances stretching before them were vast, and also traces of battle were everywhere.

Clark asked Wu Zi Bo:

• "Master Wu, tell us what type of immortal-level Extreme Move that bear possesses."

Wu Zi Bo replied, remembering the miserable battle everyone had fought:

• "It’s called the immortal-level Extreme Move ’Qi Purification.’ Its claws swell with malignant Qi aura and can cut through anything."

• "Its attacks are terrifying. It managed to injure everyone with one move."

Clark smiled inwardly.

• "Against such beasts, the best method is attrition."

Clark thought deeply about the matter until they appeared before the Wu Clan members.

They were all Immortals, led by a man with huge muscles, a slender body, and a beard extending to his waist. He was called Wu Han Ting.

He greeted Clark and Jin.

• "We greet Master Wu."

Wu Han Ting laughed.

• "Welcome, Masters. We are honored by your presence. Let’s go see the giant beast."

Everyone flew to the silent beast, which was gigantic, mountain-sized.

Its hands were beastly and huge.

But more terrifying was that it had two red eyes, condensed with killing intent.

Every time Clark looked at them, he felt this beast wasn’t natural.

How could such a gigantic thing condense such insane killing intent?

Soon, a fist flew rapidly towards Clark, who took out a clone to fight.

• "How can it be so fast?!"

Everyone rushed into battle.

Meanwhile, Clark and Jin stood in darkness.

Jin spoke angrily:

• "They’re toying with us! Why didn’t they tell us this beast is so fast?!"

Clark replied calmly:

• "It’s this Wu Han Ting. It seems he wants to show off his muscles to us. Fine, let him fight alone and wear down the enemy."
