Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 174 - Opening The Gates

“Ox Tail Gate?” Dan Yangzi was shocked at being able to recognize the characters on the jade plate. He felt his brain buzzing from shock. The three characters had revealed themselves to him just like that.

How could this be the Ox Tail Gate? Wasn’t this the Southern Heavenly Gate? Is the Immortal Realm not behind it? Weren’t those Immortals?

He looked down at the stars and then looked up into the darkness. He wasn’t sure what to do now. It was as if everything had lost its meaning.

“You are still clueless? There’s no such thing as the Immortal Realm! You’ve been fooled and your entire life has been nothing more than a joke!”

A familiar voice rang out, causing Dan Yangzi to turn around. However, there was nothing there.

Just as he thought that the illusions from earlier were about to appear once again, he found the source of the voice.

It was one of his three heads!

Currently, his left-most head had been replaced by Li Huowang’s head!

“Impossible! I’ve already slain my Three Corpses! Who are you?” shouted Dan Yangzi as he raised the coin sword in his hand and placed it on Li Huowang’s neck, threatening to cut him off.

However, Li Huowang was unfazed. “Hehe, why don’t you take a guess?”

“You fucking ungrateful disciple!” raged Dan Yangzi as he tried to slash downward, but couldn’t. He noticed that a mysterious force was stopping him.

Suddenly, Dan Yangzi raised his other arm and slapped his own face.

On the other hand, as he saw Dan Yangzi growing more and more infuriated, Li Huowang laughed even harder.

Back when Dan Yangzi had sucked out his essence from Li Huowang’s body, the latter had barely managed to regain consciousness. At the time, the first decision he made was to never let Dan Yangzi live peacefully!

And so, he followed the other Dan Yangzi and allowed himself to get sucked into Dan Yangzi’s main body. Now that he was in here, he had some degree of control over Dan Yangzi’s body.

“You dare to hit me?” Dan Yangzi was angered and tried to cut off Li Huowang.

Unfortunately, since this was Dan Yangzi’s main body, he was the one who had more control over it. Soon, Li Huowang lost control and the coin sword started to cut into his neck.

However, Li Huowang was not the slightest bit afraid. Instead, he started laughing like a maniac.

“Baldy! Did you know, I’ve tried so many methods to kill and get rid of you, but none of them worked. Then I had a thought... Why should I kill you? All I have to do is to torture you until death seemed like a paradise! And to think that the torture that I’ve endured all these years will become useful now,” said Li Huowang.

Before Dan Yangzi could even figure out what was happening, numerous voices suddenly appeared all around him.

“Yang Danzi! You stupid brat, you deserve to die! Li Huowang, kill him! Take revenge for me!”

“You filthy ass-kisser, why don’t you just die?!”

“Taoist, kill him quickly! Take the place of the Heavens and exact revenge for us!”

Gradually, illusions belonging to both Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi started appearing one by one.

At this moment, Li Huowang’s bewilderment and sense of doubt had appeared within Dan Yangzi.

Soon, the illusions elongated in the darkness and became like seagrass, twisting and encircling both of them.

Following Li Huowang’s will, his properties as a Strayed One had started manifesting themselves within Dan Yangzi.

As he saw Dan Yangzi start panicking, Li Huowang chuckled. “How is it, Master? Do you like it? This is how I will show my respect for you. Even though you’ve managed to kill me, you will continue to suffer as a Strayed One!”

“YOU CRAZY LUNATIC!” Dan Yangzi dared not attack him anymore as fear gripped his heart.

“I’m a lunatic? It’s all thanks to your guidance!” said Li Huowang.

As the two of them continued arguing, something massive started to move within the jade plate.

Originally, the monstrous beings within the jade plate had all been eating something, but now, all of them were staring at Dan Yangzi and Li Huowang through the jade plate.

Without any warning, the jade plate disappeared into the darkness. At the same time, a wondrous phenomenon manifested itself at the location where the jade plate disappeared from.

With this, both Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi caught a glimpse of the inside. Instantly, a primal fear gripped both of their hearts; the evil beings within far exceeded anything they could comprehend.

At that moment, a gentle breeze floated out along with a sigh, slowly approaching Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi.

“‘The Baiyu Capital resides in the heavens, with twelve pavilions and five cities. The Immortals caress our heads and we shall become Immortals’. Is this the legendary Baiyu Capital?!” shouted one of the illusions, a divine-looking Taoist. He was clearly very excited.

When Dan Yangzi heard those words, he immediately took action. He completely ignored Li Huowang and rushed straight toward the Baiyu Capital!

“I want to go to the Baiyu Capital! I want to become an Immortal! I’ve become an Immortal!” shouted Dan Yangzi as he rushed toward the ‘Baiyu Capital’.

On the other hand, Li Huowang tried his best to pull him backward.

“Don’t stop me from becoming an Immortal! You can’t stop me!” Dan Yangzi struggled against Li Huowang’s control, using all his energy to run inside.

As the two of them struggled over controlling the main body, they gradually closed in on the bizarre phenomenon. All the while, the ‘Immortals’ were patiently waiting for them.

The being closest to them within the Baiyu Capital was a Bodhisattva. Her movements were fluid and elegant, and her floating shawl gave everyone the impression that they were underwater.A pale halo of light could be seen resting at the back of her head.

Both Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi failed to see her appearance until they were very close to her; the light emitted by the halo wasn’t just regular light. Instead, it was a halo made from numerous white eyes!

However, this was the most normal thing within the entire Baiyu Capital. Soon, they saw more and more monstrosities, each worse than the last.

As he stared at the Bodhisattva in front of him, Dan Yangzi’s heart was instantly gripped with fear. His instincts were telling him that this was a dangerous place, one that he must avoid entering at all costs!

No! This is not the Southern Heavenly Gate! This is the Ox Tail Gate! These are not Immortals!

At that moment, Dan Yangzi finally snapped out of his obsession with becoming an Immortal.

However, at that moment, just as Dan Yangzi was trying to pull back, Li Huowang’s voice suddenly rang out. “Master! Are you ready? Then let me help you become an Immortal!”

At the same time, Li Huowang suddenly stopped pulling Dan Yangzi back and instead pushed him forward. Failing to react, Dan Yangzi was propelled straight toward the face of the Bodhisattva.
