《Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!》 Chapter 1 - 1 Raise Real Dragons and Phoenixes in a small mountain village_1 Chapter 1 Raise Real Dragons and Phoenixes in a small mountain vige_1 Trantor: 549690339 Xuantian Realm. Southern Territory, Fire Country. Outside Liyang City, a remote little mountain vige. Li Fan walked out of his simple courtyard, holding a bowl of corn kernels in his hands. He called out a few times, and a flock of earth chickens ran out from the yard. After scattering the corn kernels to feed the chickens, he went to the pond and threw bait to a school of golden carp, before heading to a nearby vegetable patch to weed and loosen the soil. After a while, a fine sweat had formed on Li Fan¡¯s face, and he sat down to rest under a peach tree. Li Fan looked at the fruit on the peach tree and showed a contented smile. Actually, Li Fan wasn¡¯t a native of the Xuantian Realm. He was a young man from the twenty-first century who had mysteriously transmigrated to this world. In this world, cultivators were revered. It was said that there were countless powerful beings, even immortals! As a transmigrator, Li Fan naturally yearned to cultivate. He once visited a sect in the Southern Territory, hoping to be a disciple, but after testing, he was found to bepletelycking in talent. At the height of his despair, Li Fan identally awakened a system! Just when he was overjoyed and ready to soar to the heavens with the system¡¯s help, he realized that the system was utterly frustrating! He needed toplete six hundred and sixty-six tasks before the system would open up an invincible path of cultivation for him, and at thepletion of these tasks, he would be an invincible being. These tasks set by the system over the past three years included, but were not limited to: Raising chickens, capturing two wild mountain chickens and sessfully domesticating them, breeding a flock of more than twenty. Feeding fish, raising a batch of fry to adulthood. nting trees, sowing a peach pit, tending to it carefully, and waiting for the peach tree to bear fruit. Digging wells, excavating a usable well by hand. Gardening, creating a well-growing vegetable garden. ¡ In short, there wasn¡¯t a single task that a farmer would do that he had missed! Of course, there were other tasks as well, such as the system forcing him to practice calligraphy for three months, drawing for three months¡ The system also asionally provided him with some basic necessities of life, like hoes, firewood axes, seeds, and some simple books, such as: ¡°Postpartum Care for Sows,¡± ¡°How to Get Chickens to Feed,¡± ¡°Three Hundred and Four Ways to Split Firewood¡±¡ Li Fan had be numb to it all over these past three years. ¡°System, the peach tree has borne fruit, what¡¯s the next task?¡± Li Fan asked, looking at the peaches on the tree. ¡°Helping others, assist Elder Zhao in chopping firewood.¡± The system¡¯s voice rang out. The system often issued odd tasks, such as delivering some fruit to Auntie Wang or helping Uncle Li hoe thend¡ He had done this task before, too. He slung the axe over his shoulder and took some rope to tie up the bundles of firewood before leaving. No sooner had he left than the entire simple courtyard underwent a dramatic change. The Dao roared and dragon cries shook the heavens! From the pond, dragon shadows surged to the sky, a host of glorious divine dragons vying for the bait that Li Fan had just scattered! ¡°You silly dragons of the Dragon n, keep it down! The master isn¡¯t far away yet; do you want to die?¡± The old hen pecking at the corn suddenly looked towards the pond! In an instant, a rainbow light as magnificent as a cascading waterfall exploded behind the old hen, and an immense Phoenix Shadow covered the sky! At the pond, the numerous dragon shadows instantly dissipated, restoring calm as a school of golden carp swam. ¡°Phoenix Matron, my Dragon n is not afraid of you!¡± A majestic voice sounded faintly. ¡°The Phoenix Matron is saving you.¡± At that moment, even the peach tree, which astonishingly began to speak in an extremely pleasant female voice, said, ¡°I feel that the master is bing more and more terrifying. He just sat beneath me for a while, and the Pan Peaches almost matured on the spot¡¡± For a time, everything in the courtyard fell silent. ¡ When he went out, the vigers greeted Li Fan warmly. This ce was very secluded, and the vigers were simple folks. They were all grateful for Li Fan¡¯s help over the days. ¡°Little Li, be careful out there today. When I came back from outside this morning, I saw some cultivatorsing to our area!¡± ¡°Those people are all quite formidable!¡± Auntie Wang advised with concern. ¡°Alright, Auntie Wang.¡± Li Fan responded and left the vige. This mountain vige was very isted; usually, no one came here. Why had some cultivators suddenly appeared? Thinking of cultivators, Li Fan immediately felt a sense of longing. But all of that was irrelevant to his current situation. Before long, Li Fan arrived outside Hongye Valley. Perhaps due to geography, from a distance, Hongye Valley looked as if it was aze, with the foliage of the vegetation disying fiery red leaves. Li Fan was about to enter the valley when he suddenly noticed that there was a convoy ahead. The group was dressed exceptionally well, all very splendid, and their mounts were tall, snowy-white steeds. Now, they were discussing something. ¡°Saintess, do you really wish to risk yourself? This ce is a deathtrap! Even our forebear fell inside¡¡± A middle-aged man was looking at the young girl in the lead with concern. The girl was wearing a pale green dress that entuated her stunning figure, with an extremely beautiful face, a pert nose, sparkling eyes, and longshes fluttering as she looked toward the valley ahead, taking a deep breath: ¡°There¡¯s no other way, whether we can obtain what¡¯s inside the valley is critical to the survival of our sect!¡± ¡°As the Saintess, it is my inescapable responsibility, Mu Qianning!¡± ¡°Besides, we are well-prepared this time, and there might be a glimmer of hope!¡± ¡°Ren Hong, if you are afraid, just wait for me outside.¡± Hearing the resolute tone in Mu Qianning¡¯s words, the middle-aged man puffed out his chest and said, ¡°I am willing to follow the Saintess and give my life for the existence of the Lihuo Sect!¡± Mu Qianning nodded in satisfaction andmanded, ¡°Everyone dismount!¡± Dozens of people dismounted and were about to enter the valley. ¡°Worthy of being a deathtrap, just by nearing it, my heart trembles with fear!¡± Ren Hong¡¯splexion greatly changed, although he was a cultivator at the Initial Golden Core Stage. Yet, his instincts told him that this ce was dangerous, extremely dangerous! Mu Qianning also took a deep breath and said, ¡°Everyone put on your Protective Daoist Clothing, and after I use the Dao Patterns to break through this barrier, we will enter!¡± She stepped forward, holding an ancient Array te that was cracked! ¡°Open!¡± With a low shout from her, sand and stones began flying in front of them! Ren Hong¡¯s pupils shocked, he saw the chaotic auras of destruction, posing a terrifying threat that could annihte a Golden Core¡ ¡°Go!¡± He led the people, following Mu Qianning, and charged in! Behind them, Li Fan saw this scene and was puzzled. What are these people doing? Making such a ruckus, and raising all that dust, it¡¯s not eco-friendly at all! No manners. But he didn¡¯t want to interfere and proceeded to enter the valley. Ahead. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± ¡°No!¡± The Protective Daoist Clothing on Ren Hong and the others burst under the barrage of chaotic Dao auras. They fell to the ground one after another in extreme agony. Even Ren Hong, unable to endure any longer, slumped to the ground. Mu Qianning took a few more steps forward, but at that moment, the Array te in her hand broke in two! Assaulted by numerous Dao auras, her pale green dress with its rippling patterns protected her, but within three seconds, it was riddled with countless holes, exposing her fair skin! ¡°No¡¡± A tear fell from Mu Qianning¡¯s beautiful eyes! This deathtrap was more terrifying than she imagined. At the first barrier, they were utterly unable to pass! And now, they were about to lose their lives here! Were they going to die¡ ¡°Saintess, look!¡± Just at that moment, Ren Hong suddenly eximed! Mu Qianning looked in the direction he was pointing and saw not far away, amidst the highly chaotic Dao auras, a figure strolling as if on t ground, with utmost ease! Even the auras that could easily destroy someone at the Golden Core Realm seemedpletely ineffective against him! Mu Qianning¡¯s eyes narrowed. She had observed the weakest point of the Dao auras to attack through, and even she was in such disarray, but this person came through the most terrifying and chaotic ce without a scratch?! Seeing him as a savior, she urgently cried out: ¡°Senior, save us!¡± Li Fan, who was about to bypass these people and enter the valley, stopped in his tracks. He looked left and right. He made sure that there was no one else around. He couldn¡¯t help being somewhat perplexed and said, ¡°Miss, are you calling me?¡± Senior? Chapter 2 - 2 Terror Exists_1 Chapter 2 Terror Exists_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Yes, senior!¡± Mu Qianning was overjoyed to see the senior in front of her responding. She said, ¡°Senior, we are from the Lihuo Sect. Please lend us your aid. We will never forget this great kindness and favor¡¡± Li Fan grimaced with a toothache. What are these people doing? Weren¡¯t they all fine just a moment ago? Their physical stamina is really poor; having just dismounted, they can¡¯t even walk anymore¡ªespecially the men, who are even weaker than the girls¡ However, the other party said they are from the Lihuo Sect? That name, Li Fan seemed to have heard of it. He couldn¡¯t help but walk over. The dust and smoke around were a bit thick, so he lightly fanned in front of himself and asked, ¡°You are from the Lihuo Sect?¡± However, Mu Qianning and the others had their colors change dramatically, their eyes revealing shock and terror! ¡°He¡ He just casually fanned, and the chaotic Earth¡¯s Way energy has all dissipated?!¡± Ren Hong couldn¡¯t even get his words out clearly. Too, too terrifying! Mu Qianning was alsopletely dumbstruck. When the senior in front of her casually waved his horsetail whisk, she clearly saw the flow of Earth¡¯s Way, impervious to allws! What kind of tremendous power could this be?! Moreover, in an instant, the pressure on their bodies had all disappeared. ¡°You are from the Lihuo Sect?¡± Seeing that they didn¡¯t answer, Li Fan asked again. Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, yes, junior Mu Qianning from the Lihuo Sect, greets senior!¡± She paid her respects deeply! Ren Hong was even prostrating on the ground! Li Fan was surprised. The person in front of him was the Lihuo Sect¡¯s Saintess? Indeed, she had a striking appearance¡ But why call him senior, and pay such respects? Had they gone mad? Li Fan said, ¡°I am no senior, just an ordinary person. What brings you here?¡± An ordinary person? Mu Qianning didn¡¯t believe it for an instant, but remained as respectful as before, and said, ¡°To report to senior, we are here¡ to find something.¡± Although she was astonished by the formidable strength of the senior before her, she dared not disclose the matter that concerned the rise and fall of their sect. ¡°Looking for something? This ce is too big, with your stamina, I fear you won¡¯t be able to travel far,¡± said Li Fan, shaking his head. These people, theyck exercise on normal days, and now they can¡¯t even walk a few steps¡ Mu Qianning was greatly shocked. From the senior¡¯s words, it seemed he was very familiar with this ce¡ She and herpanions couldn¡¯t even ovee the first restriction, so it was impossible to find that item¡ However, if they could get the help of this senior¡ Yet, would such an exalted figure help them? Thinking of the survival of the Lihuo Sect, she gritted her teeth, kneeled on the ground, and said, ¡°Senior, I take the liberty of asking for your help! Junior is willing to pay any price if senior would take action!¡± Li Fan, seeing the sincerity of the other party, found it hard to refuse. He was familiar with this ce, so leading the way wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. ¡°That¡¯s not a problem, but your stamina¡¡± With so many people, what if they all copse from exhaustionter on? Mu Qianning quickly said, ¡°Senior, you only need to take me; the others don¡¯t need toe!¡± Li Fan thought for a moment, ¡°Alright.¡± Mu Qianning was ecstatic and extremely grateful! ¡°The path ahead is quiteplex, make sure you don¡¯t lose track of me,¡± said Li Fan as he continued forward. Mu Qianning hurriedly followed behind Li Fan, but soon fear flickered across her face. Ahead of them was an invisible fire ocean! Ordinary people might not see it, but she could feel that annihting terror. The destructive energy around the periphery was just an overflow from that fire ocean. And in that invisible fire ocean were the terrifying mes of the Samadhi True Fire. A wisp of it could burn a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to death! No wonder this was called a ce of no return¡ A chill went through Mu Qianning! ¡°Keep up,¡± said Li Fan, looking back. They had barely taken a few steps! ¡°Of course, senior!¡± Mu Qianning braced herself; now she could only follow this senior. The next moment, she saw the senior step into the invisible fire ocean! ¡°` In that instant, within the invisible sea of fire that destroyed everything, a true void suddenly appeared! The mes receded by a long stretch! Mu Qianning took a sharp breath, what kind of technique was this? It was too terrifying! She hurried to catch up! Before long, they had crossed the invisible sea of fire. Li Fan reached the wood-cutting area and asked, ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Mu Qianning was now utterly impressed with the senior before her and replied, ¡°The Divine Water Bead!¡± ¡°A deep green bead, our sect¡¯s sacred treasure. Many years ago, it was brought here by our ancestor, but after our ancestor fell, the bead was lost¡¡± Li Fan suddenly remembered that every time he seemed to go woodcutting, he would encounter such a bead. But he had never been interested in jewels, and would throw it away if he found one. ¡°I think I¡¯ve seen it¡ you can follow me, I remember it¡¯s in the forest.¡± Mu Qianning was overjoyed upon hearing this. However, when she followed Li Fan to the ¡°forest,¡± she was stunned! It was a forest of fiery red trees. Each one was tall and sturdy! Every leaf was rich with fire properties, one leaf enough to aid inprehending the Dao! ¡°Xuanhuo Wood, hard and indestructible, even cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage cannot harm it in the slightest, known as the Ten-Thousand-Year Indestructible Tree, growing amongst fierce mes¡¡± She murmured, her heart trembling; the senior intended to cut down Xuanhuo Wood? Meanwhile, Li Fan had already raised his axe to cut the trees! ¡°Crack¡ª¡± Arge tree crashed to the ground thunderously. Mu Qianning was shocked; with every swing of Li Fan¡¯s axe, she seemed to witness the copse of the great Dao! What kind of axe was this? Too terrifying. ¡°What kind of terrifying being have I encountered?¡± Shortly, Li Fan finished cutting trees, a bit tired, he opened his water sk and took a sip. ¡°You must be thirsty, right?¡± He said as he passed the sk over. Mu Qianning subconsciously took it. Although she was protected by the senior, her cultivation was too low, and she still felt a bit scorched. The sweet well water, as it entered her stomach, made her feelfortable. But the next moment, she was suddenly stunned. Her aura soared abruptly! Directly from the Golden Core Second Level, she leaped to the Golden Core Third Level! And it didn¡¯t stop there! Golden Core Fourth Level! Quintuple Heaven! ¡uninterruptedly breaking through all the way to the Nine Heavens! Golden Core Perfection! Looking at the sk in her hand, she was incredulous to the extreme; what kind of Jade Liquid Fine Wine was this¡ She was dying to take a few more big swigs! But she took a deep breath instead. She could not, in front of the senior, appear greedy; she had to maintain her image! ¡°Thank you, senior!¡± She respectfully handed back the sk. ¡°Hmm¡ I sense the presence of the Divine Water Bead!¡± At that moment, her expression changed dramatically; her consciousness had be much sharper after the substantial increase in her cultivation. She saw a streak of green light, flying from who knows where, swiftly approaching, and then turning into a bead, rolling to a stop at Li Fan¡¯s feet! ¡°Treasure seeking protection¡¡± She was shaken; she had long known that the Divine Water Bead, a treasure of the sect, was sentient! It was actuallying to Li Fan on its own? ¡°Hmm, found it.¡± Li Fan casually picked up the bead, thinking his luck wasn¡¯t too bad, and handed it to Mu Qianning, saying, ¡°Here, the bead you were looking for.¡± ¡°For, for me?¡± For a moment, Mu Qianning was at a loss for words! Chapter 3: The Lihuo Sect Patriarch?_1 Chapter 3: The Lihuo Sect Patriarch?_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Aren¡¯t you looking for this?¡± Li Fan said. ¡°Yes, thank you senior, thank you so much!¡± At this moment, Mu Qianning was so excited she hardly knew what to say and could only tremble as she took the Divine Water Stone! Li Fan shook his head; women really got too excited at the sight of a gemstone. Too materialistic, utterly mundane! Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but mock internally as he bundled up the firewood and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Mu Qianning hurriedly followed Li Fan out of Hongye Valley. Ren Hong was worried, but when he saw Mu Qianning emerge unscathed, everyone was stunned. This senior actually managed to bring the Saintess out¡ ¡°Saintess, did you find the item?¡± Ren Hong asked. Mu Qianning nodded and, with gratitude, looked at Li Fan, saying, ¡°Everything was made possible by this senior¡¯s grace!¡± Li Fan was speechless. It was just a stone, what was the big deal? ¡°Alright, I¡¯m heading back to the vige, goodbye.¡± Li Fan turned and left. Mu Qianning wanted to say something more, but Li Fan had already gone, and she was uneasy, not daring to trouble the senior further. Next, Mu Qianning, along with Ren Hong and others, hurried back to their sect. Lihuo Sect was very far from here, but once they left the dangerous mountain range, they could fly through the sky. Gliding through countless clouds, theynded on a sprawling mountain peak. There were buildings all over the mountain, clearly the location of Lihuo Sect. ¡°Saintess, you¡¯ve finally returned. The people from me Mountain havee again!¡± Just as she arrived at the sect gate, Mu Qianning learned of a new situation. Her face showed concern as she hurried towards the main hall. Inside the main hall of Lihuo Sect, two groups stood in opposition, the atmosphere tense as if swords were drawn. ¡°Wei Yushan, your Lihuo Sect is finished, with only one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator left. You¡¯ll soon fall to a One-Star Sect. Why not submit to us?¡± An elderly man spoke darkly. He was an elder of me Mountain, Gongsun Qi. Opposite him, the Sect Master of Lihuo Sect, Wei Yushan, had an ugly expression, saying, ¡°You me Mountain can dream on about swallowing up Lihuo Sect!¡± ¡°Heh, heh,¡± Gongsun Qi sneered, ¡°If your old ancestor were still alive, I¡¯d turn around and leave. But your old ancestor has been dead for many years now, what confidence do you have to speak such words?¡± ¡°I know, you have an old Sect Master barely alive in the back hill, but even if he came, it wouldn¡¯t make a difference!¡± With a p on his chair, he stood up alongside two other elders, their formidable auras bursting forth. Three powerful Nascent Soul experts! Wei Yushan¡¯s face turned extremely grim! How could he face three on one?! ¡°Hold on!¡± Just then, a spirited shout came from outside. Everyone turned their heads. Mu Qianning walked in resolutely from outside and, clenching her teeth, said, ¡°Reporting to the Sect Master, the sect¡¯s treasured artifact has been retrieved!¡± She held the Divine Water Stone in both hands. At that instant, the expressions of everyone in the room changed dramatically! ¡°What? The Divine Water Stone of Lihuo Sect has reappeared?!¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t this treasured artifact taken into the forbidden ground by the old ancestor of Lihuo Sect and lost forever?¡± ¡°The Divine Water Stone can increase a cultivator¡¯s strength several times over!¡± Gongsun Qi and others had an extremely unpleasant look on their faces. Meanwhile, Wei Yushan showed an ecstatic expression! He transformed into a beam of light and in the next moment appeared before Mu Qianning, taking the Divine Water Stone, his whole being filled with excitement! ¡°With this stone in hand, my Lihuo Sect shall not perish!¡± Heughed out loud! ¡°Mu Qianning, where did you find this pearl?!¡± Gongsun Qi¡¯s face was grim as he looked at Mu Qianning! This stone was clearly lost in the forbidden ground, how could it be¡ Did Mu Qianning enter that ce? Impossible! Their Sect Master of me Mountain had once checked, not daring to get close! Mu Qianning said each word earnestly, ¡°This is given by a senior for me to bring back!¡± Upon hearing this, the faces of Gongsun Qi and the others turned to shock! ¡°Your Sect Ancestor¡ isn¡¯t dead?!¡± Gongsun Qi¡¯s face was etched with disbelief. Subconsciously, he thought about the predecessor Mu Qianning mentioned, considering the possibility of the Lihuo Sect¡¯s venerable ancestor. That was indeed an extraordinary figure. If he were still alive, that would be troublesome. Mu Qianning proudly said, ¡°You are not worthy to inquire!¡± Although she did not know the true strength of that predecessor, Mu Qianning believed that people like Gongsun Qi weren¡¯t even qualified to carry his shoes! ¡°Heh, I guess, your old ancestor, even if he isn¡¯t dead, must be incapacitated, right?!¡± At this moment, another elder from Fiery Mountain coldly spoke up, ¡°Otherwise, why would he need you to bring this pearl back? Why note in person?¡± At this question, everyone felt a chill. Most likely, it was the case. Mu Qianning¡¯s expression did not change, but she released her cultivation level. ¡°Golden Core Ninth Stage?! How is that possible? ording to our intelligence, you were only at the second stage of Golden Core!¡± Gongsun Qi was shocked. ¡°At such a young age¡ has the Lihuo Sect produced a peerless genius?!¡± The people of Fiery Mountain were all stunned. ¡°Qianning, you¡¡± Even Wei Yushan couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°That predecessor merely gave me a few pointers,¡± she said indifferently. The crowd was shocked. At this moment, the people of me Mountain grew anxious. Exactly who was behind Mu Qianning? She left for just one day and achieved Golden Core Perfection with the guidance of that predecessor?! Gongsun Qi felt that this matter was getting big! ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t think this will scare us. Sooner orter, you will all belong to us at me Mountain!¡± Having said that, he transformed into a rainbow of light and left. With this turn of events, he needed to report to the Sect Master immediately. With their departure, everyone in the Lihuo Sect breathed a long sigh of relief! ¡°Qianning, what exactly happened?!¡± Wei Yushan hurriedly asked. ¡°We¡¯ve encountered a predecessor¡¡± Mu Qianning recounted her encounter with Li Fan. Upon hearing this, Wei Yushan was astonished. Walking through the forbiddennd as if it were t ground? Chopping Xuanhuo Wood with an axe? Not even valuing the Divine Water Stone and casually handing it to Mu Qianning? He was shaken. What kind of terrifying existence could this be? ¡°How is this possible¡ I must go and report to the former Sect Master!¡± ¡ª¡ªAt the Lihuo Sect, the previous Sect Master was still alive, but due to his dwindling lifespan, he was nearly burnt out and had been in seclusion. Before long, an old man who was just skin and bones walked over with Wei Yushan. This person was Wei Yushan¡¯s master, the former Sect Master of the Lihuo Sect, Yu Qishui. Sect Master Yu Qishui was excited and said, ¡°That person might just be the old ancestor of our Lihuo Sect!¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning was immediately shocked. ¡°But that predecessor is very young¡¡± Yu Qishui shook his head repeatedly and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand, the ancestor might have undergone nirvana in dire straits.¡± ¡°Otherwise, the Divine Water Stone wouldn¡¯t recognize him, and he wouldn¡¯t have given the Divine Water Stone to you.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, take us to the old ancestor now!¡± ¡ Meanwhile. me Mountain. ¡°Sect Master, the development is mysterious, and we dared not act rashly, so we have returned to report!¡± Gongsun Qi stood outside an ancient hall to report. Inside the grand hall, a faint voice arose: ¡°No worries, even if the Lihuo Sect¡¯s old ancestor is truly alive, he won¡¯t exceed the Spirit Severing Stage. I want to see for myself what he¡¯s capable of!¡± After speaking, a sh of red light zipped through the grand hall, and in an instant, it had left me Mountain! ¡ Chapter 4 - 4 Village in the Mountains? Holy Land?_1 Chapter 4 Vige in the Mountains? Holy Land?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Li Fan returned to the small mountain vige and delivered the firewood he had chopped to Elder Zhao¡¯s home. ¡°Little Li, really, you shouldn¡¯t have bothered!¡± Elder Zhao said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. I¡¯ll split the wood for you as well.¡± He swung his axe and began to split the firewood. ¡ At the same time, Two streaks of rainbow light shed, and three figures appeared in front of the small mountain vige. ¡°Girl, is that senior powerhouse living here?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like it.¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s face showed confusion. He didn¡¯t sense too powerful an aura, in fact, it could be said¡ it was utterly ordinary. Looking at it, this was just an average small mountain vige. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, but that senior mentioned he was going back to his vige¡ It seems this is the only vige around here.¡± Mu Qianning was also uncertain. ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡± Yu Qishui, however, said, ¡°True experts often y amongst the mortals or seclude themselves in the mountains and forests!¡± ¡°The saying ¡®tigers and leopards hidden in deep mountains, kylins found in the fields,¡¯ speaks to this very truth!¡± Wei Yushan immediately shivered, thinking the words were very true, and said, ¡°It is Yu Shan who is confused.¡± How can such a powerful being be measured bymon sense? ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Yu Qishui waved his hand and led them inside. ¡°Oh, three guests, where have youe from?¡± Just as they entered the vige, they were greeted by Auntie Wang. Wei Yushan scanned Auntie Wang andmunicated with his divine sense, ¡°A mere mortal.¡± But Yu Qishui¡¯s eyes suddenly turned towards Auntie Wang¡¯s hoe, and a trace of astonishment shed through his aged eyes! ¡°That hoe¡ there¡¯s something about it!¡± He stepped forward, bowed slightly to Auntie Wang, and asked, ¡°Excuse me, Auntie, may I take a look at your hoe?¡± Auntie Wang was puzzled. What were these people up to? ¡°A broken hoe, what¡¯s there to see?¡± Still baffled, Auntie Wang set down the hoe. Yu Qishui took the hoe but instantly became excited! ¡°The essence of the Tao, this hoe is filled with it!¡± ¡°This hoe must have been used by an exceptional expert, leaving behind a trace of their presence!¡± He eximed, ¡°To leave behind such essence of the Tao¡ It seems our ancestor truly seeded in his rebirth. He could have very likely made a breakthrough¡ at least to the Hollow Void Realm, or perhaps even the Mahayana Realm?!¡± Mu Qianning and Wei Yushan were instantly shocked. Mahayana Realm! ¡ª Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Divide, Hollow Void, Mahayana, Integration! These are the cultivation levels of the Xuantian Realm¡ªbeyond Integration, one treads upon the path of the immortals. In the entire Fire Country, there are but a few at the Mahayana Realm; they are the exalted giants. If a Mahayana Realm expert were to protect this ce, what of Fiery Mountain? They would be but ants! ¡°It seems that the mighty figure¡ no, our ancestor, might truly be here?¡± Wei Yushan murmured. ¡°May I ask, which senior has used this hoe?¡± Yu Qishui asked Auntie Wang nervously. ¡°Just me, oh¡ and Little Li often helps me with weeding too.¡± Auntie Wang replied nonchntly. Little Li? The group exchanged nces upon hearing this. That¡¯s supposed to be a Mahayana Realm expert. How could he have any connection with this ordinary woman? And the way Auntie Wang spoke, it was as if she were dealing with an ordinary person, with familiarity but without reverence. ¡°Oh dear, I still need to go tend to my vegetables, please don¡¯t hold me up,¡± Auntie Wang urged, snatching back her hoe and heading towards her vegetable patch. ¡°Let¡¯s follow and take a look!¡± The three of them followed. After Auntie Wang walked into the vegetable garden, she began weeding. ¡°That¡ those are your vegetables?¡± Yu Qishui was once again astonished. ¡°These aren¡¯t just vegetables, these are top-grade spiritual medicines¡¡± Wei Yushan began to breathe more rapidly! This Auntie¡¯s vegetable garden was worth more than their entire Lihuo Sect! ¡ª The entire Lihuo Sect had only three top-grade spiritual medicines! In this vige, vegetables turned into top-grade spiritual medicines? He almost wanted to plunder the entire vegetable garden! ¡°Auntie¡ this plot ofnd¡¡± Yu Qishui started speaking, shaken. ¡°Oh, thisnd? It was also Little Li who helped me break the ground, he¡¯s such a diligent person.¡± Little Li again! ¡°Just casually breaking ground, and he turns cabbages into top-grade spiritual medicines?¡± ¡°That¡¯s like a fairy tale!¡± Lihuo Sect¡¯s Yu Qishui was astonished, doubting at this moment whether even an ancestor revived from nirvana could possess such strength. ¡°Auntie, these, these weeds, can I have them?¡± At this time, Wei Yushan stepped forward, pointing at some weeds that Auntie Wang had just removed. Auntie Wang became even more puzzled. What did they want with weeds? To feed pigs? ¡°You¡¯re wee to take as much as you want,¡± she said indifferently. At her words, Wei Yushan hurriedly gathered arge bunch of the herbs. These were all top-grade spiritual medicines. The young disciples of the Lihuo Sect needed these items desperately. Thinking of this, bitterness filled his heart. What his sect treasured as precious was seen as nothing more than roadside weeds in this small mountain vige¡ ¡°Let me taste this!¡± At this moment, Yu Qishui suddenly grabbed a handful and started chewing. ¡°Mmm! Excellent medicine, excellent medicine! The effect is even stronger than the three nts we have at our Sect Gate!¡± He praised with a full mouth! ¡°It¡¯s over, could it be that we¡¯ve encountered three lunatics?¡± Auntie Wang felt her skin crawl at the sight, how could they eat grass? She hurriedly picked up a hoe and ran off. ¡°In my opinion, our ancestor has turned this ce into a Pure Land!¡± Yu Qishui eximed! Unable to hold back, Wei Yushan said, ¡°To treat top-grade spiritual medicines asmon vegetables to be nted¡ only a Holy Land-ranked force would dare to do this, right?¡± At this, Yu Qishui grew even more excited, ¡°Perhaps our ancestor wishes to use this ce as a foundation for our Lihuo Sect to soar to great heights!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s meet the ancestor!¡± They continued toward the depths of the vige. As they walked, they were continuously shocked! ¡°Master, why does this water ditch give me a different feeling? The water flowing through it feels spiritual?¡± ¡°Master, look at this fruit tree, I wonder who nted it, it actually shows signs of spiritual awakening!¡± ¡°Master, look at this bamboo hat¡ why do I feel like it¡¯s a spiritual artifact?¡± Along the way, they saw various objects in the mountain vige, and Wei Yushan was continuously shocked, constantly asking Yu Qishui for exnations. In many details, there were wonderful traces of Tao flowing! ¡°Master, look, why does this stone house give off a sense of harmony with the Dao? It feels naturally rounded and as though it formed naturally¡ It¡¯s simply a Supreme Cave Dwelling!¡± When they reached the stone house, they were all astounded. ¡°Li Fan helped me build this house; his craftsmanship is very good. If you folks need to build houses, you can find Little Li,¡± an stooped old man said with a smile. Li Fan often helped them, and his skills were excellent, but in this mountain vige, there was little money to be made, so he wanted to take this opportunity to advertise for Li Fan. Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and others once again hadplex expressions. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I can¡¯t help it anymore. The ancestor¡¯s cultivation level must have reached a terrifying realm. Our Lihuo Sect will surely prosper greatly!¡± Yu Qishui was wide-eyed, immediately asked for the direction of where Li Fan was, and pulled Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning as they hurried off. At that moment, Li Fan was almost done splitting firewood, and due to years of exercise, he didn¡¯t feel tired. ¡°Little Li, it¡¯s not good! Our vige has just been visited by three beggars!¡± At this time, Auntie Wang suddenly came running with a group of vigers. ¡°Beggars?¡± Li Fan was puzzled. Auntie Wang then exined what happened just now. ¡°Even the sight of a hoe and a patch of vegetables makes them drool, and they can eat weeds¡ If they¡¯re not beggars, what are they? They must havee here to beg. But that girl is quite pretty¡ Why don¡¯t you marry her? It¡¯s pitiful for her to be wandering about¡¡± Auntie Wang said with vivid detail. ¡°That¡¯s right, Little Li, those people were also staring at the fruit tree you nted for me, even though the fruits aren¡¯t even ripe! A bunch of Starved Ghosts¡¡± ¡°There¡¯s something off about them, they seem to be here for you, you should be careful¡¡± The vigers were all speaking out, kindly warning him. Li Fan thought about it, the girl they were describing sounded a lot like Mu Qianning, whom he had met in Hongye Valley¡ But he wasn¡¯t worried, what could they want from him, when he had nothing? ¡°May I inquire if Mr. Li is present here?¡± Just then, a voice rang out. Everyone turned around to see Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and Mu Qianning from the Lihuo Sect walking up the road toward them. ¡°Little Li, it¡¯s them!¡± Auntie Wang pointed out. Li Fan looked up and saw Mu Qianning, he couldn¡¯t help but smile, it really was this girl. However, they didn¡¯t look like beggars. ¡°Sect Masters¡ he, he is that senior,¡± Mu Qianning whispered. Upon hearing this, Yu Qishui took a serious look at Li Fan but didn¡¯t sense even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power! Just like an ordinary person! Yu Qishui gasped in shock. Even a Mahayana Realm expert should emit a trace of aura, yet this man before him was perfectly reclusive. Could he be above the Mahayana Realm? That would be horrifying; such a person would surely be well-known throughout the entire Xuantian Realm! ¡°Master¡ look!¡± Wei Yushan pointed at the ¡°pile of firewood¡± by the side! Yu Qishui looked over, and instantly, they were all fixated on that pile of ¡°firewood¡±! ¡°It¡¯s really Xuanhuo Wood¡ and with such an old age¡¡± ¡°Any one of these, if found in the outside world, would cause a scramble. Here, it¡¯s really just firewood¡¡± Yu Qishui was astonished. What kind of person would burn Xuanhuo Wood as firewood? ¡°Master, what do you think, is the Soul Mark que showing any sign of activity?¡± Wei Yushan immediately followed up with a question. To confirm the identity of the ancestor, they had brought a Life que sealed with a strand of the ancestor¡¯s soul mark. If it was truly their ancestor, the Soul Mark que would respond. Even if a cultivator underwent nirvana, their soul would never change. Yu Qishui also hurriedly checked, but immediately, his face froze, saying, ¡°No response.¡± ¡°Have we¡ mistaken someone else?¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s face became extremely unpleasant. Disappointment! Utter disappointment! If it were their Lihuo Sect¡¯s ancestor, then their sect¡¯s future would be endlessly glorious! But now, it seemed they might have found the wrong person¡ Chapter 5 - 5 The Terrifying Courtyard_1 Chapter 5 The Terrifying Courtyard_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Master, what should we do? We¡¯ve recognized the wrong person¡¡± Wei Yushan sent his inquiry through spiritual sense. ¡°But, if it¡¯s not the ancestor, why would the Divine Water Stone acknowledge him as its master? Why would he give the Divine Water Stone to us?!¡± The old Sect Master did not understand. ¡°¡Master, in my opinion, could it be that this senior has some past connection with our Lihuo Sect¡¯s ancestors, and hence extended a helping hand to us?¡± Wei Yushan ventured uncertainly. ¡°Very possible!¡± The old Sect Master also expressed some doubt. In the meantime, Li Fan had already started walking toward them. ¡°Why have youe again? Who are these two?¡± Li Fan asked Mu Qianning. Could it be that because he gave this girl a precious stone, her family wanted to find more? That must be it, after all, though they seemed to dress decently, ording to Auntie Zhang¡¯s description, they even ate weeds, which was quite pitiful¡ If they found a gemstone, perhaps their days would get a little better? It really is hard for cultivators too¡ Li Fan roughly made a judgment. ¡°Senior, these¡ these two are elders from our sect. They wanted to visit with the senior, so I came presumptuously¡¡± Mu Qianning began stuttering, and now, she felt even more reverence toward the senior before her. ¡°Alright,¡± Li Fan said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk at my ce.¡± He then bid Auntie Wang farewell and led the group towards his dwelling. ¡°Master, what should we do?¡± On the way, Wei Yushan asked anxiously. Yet the old Sect Master said, ¡°Such a person this senior is, his seemingly casual actions must all have deep meanings, since he is taking us to his cave abode, there must be profound reasons, let¡¯s just follow him¡¡± It wasn¡¯t much longer before they arrived at Li Fan¡¯s residence. Simple, tidy, constructed from stone and wood materials. ¡°Master, this¡ what kind of Immortal¡¯s Cave Abode is this? I feel that merely by approaching, spiritual power is wildly surging, tremendously active, as if increasing¡¡± Wei Yushan was astounded! This ce couldn¡¯t simply be described as a cave abode¡ Yu Qishui waspletely entranced, murmuring, ¡°This is clearly¡ clearly a world of its own¡¡± The more powerful the cultivation, the more one could sense the vastness and inscrutability of this ce. It was Mu Qianning, with her insufficient cultivation, who did not perceive these deepyers. She simply felt veryfortable, very natural. As she approached this courtyard, she became entirely serene, as if all worries were forgotten, and her Dao heart was incredibly peaceful. ¡°Such a ce is truly where an Immortal would live, natural, spontaneous, yet detached from the material world¡¡± She couldn¡¯t help but nce at Li Fan, thinking that such a highly cultivated individual chose to live here in seclusion, mixing withmon people, sharing in the decay of nts and trees¡ Perhaps this, truly was what it meant to earnestly cultivate the Dao? ¡°Come in.¡± At that moment, Li Fan had already opened the door and turned back to speak. Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan both took a deep breath, feeling as though they were poor folk facing a resplendent great hall, somewhat at a loss! They followed Li Fan inside. ¡°In this courtyard, the essence of the Dao is so rich, I feel I¡¯m about to enter meditation.¡± Wei Yushan eximed in shock, sensing the shackles that hadn¡¯t loosened in many years suddenly showing a slight possibility of breaking. This was too fearsome. ¡°Such a senior, yet he raises chickens, farms thend¡¡± In Mu Qianning¡¯s beautiful eyes, there was a clear sense of envy; all she sensed was nature and leisure. How many cultivators throughout the world could possess the state of mind of this senior? After Yu Qishui entered, confusion flickered in his eyes. In this courtyard, every single nt and tree gave him an inexplicable, indescribable feeling! He saw the earth chickens strutting around the yard, his brow furrowed tightly as if he was trying to make sense of something. Just at that moment, one of the chickens in the flock suddenly nced his way. Boom! At that instant, Yu Qishui felt as if he was facing an ancient ferocious beast, a cosmic demon. His mind buzzed, his dao heart nearly copsed, sweat poured down, and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground! Fortunately, Li Fan turned around in time and grabbed him, shaking his head and saying, ¡°At such an old age, you can¡¯t even walk steadily, yet you insist on rushing about, it¡¯s indeed hard work.¡± The moment Li Fan¡¯s hand touched Yu Qishui, the terrifying pressure he faced vanished, and his spirit recovered in an instant! With lingering fear, he saw that the earth chickens had already resumed pecking at the corn on the ground, paying him no attention. Yu Qishui did not dare to look any longer, swiftly lowering his head and trembling! Damn it, what kind of earth chickens were these that the senior kept? The might of these earth chickens was even more terrifying than the famous fire beast in the Fire Nation Imperial Pce! It was possible that the realm of these earth chickens was above the Hollow Void Realm¡ Just who was this senior, really? At that moment, he truly felt afraid, his gaze not daring to roam around any longer, fearful of attracting some formidable existence. Fortunately, Li Fan quickly led them into the hall. ¡°I¡¯m aware of the purpose of your visit.¡± Li Fan spoke indifferently. Hearing this, Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and the others were all taken aback. ¡°Indeed, how could our intentions have escaped the perception of such a senior whose powers align with creation?¡± But thinking this over, they all felt relieved, because in their eyes Li Fan¡¯s realm was simply too lofty. ¡°That stone, it happens to share some fate with me, having encountered it many times.¡± Li Fan continued to speak. A surge of tion filled Yu Qishui¡¯s heart. The meaning in the senior¡¯s words was clear: he did indeed have some connection to the Lihuo Sect! Could it be that an elder of the Lihuo Sect once had a rtionship with this being? That must be why he nonchntly returned the Divine Water Stone to the Lihuo Sect, right? ¡°However, it¡¯s just that one stone alone.¡± Li Fan nced at the three of them and said, ¡°So you shouldn¡¯t think too much about it.¡± He thought to himself that he couldn¡¯t find another stone for them anyway, so Li Fan felt quite helpless. But upon hearing his words, the three of them suddenly turned pale! How could they not hear the warning in the senior¡¯s words? It was clear. Just that one stone, they couldn¡¯t think too much about¡ it meant that the senior¡¯s connection with the Lihuo Sect was only that much! They shouldn¡¯t hope for anything more¡ Yu Qishui felt a bitter taste in his heart, very helpless, understanding that the more one was at Senior Li¡¯s level, the more one valued fate and causation. Since he had said this, they really should not have any more undue expectations¡ Just now, he had been hoping to ask Senior Li to look after the Lihuo Sect¡ Mu Qianning also felt a tinge of disappointment. ¡°However, it was not easy for you toe all the way here,¡± said Li Fan, noticing the look of disappointment and difort on their faces, he couldn¡¯t bear it and said, ¡°Have some tea and a simple meal before you go.¡± After speaking, he went to make tea for the three of them. The elderly one was so hungry that he was frail, and could barely walk steadily. If they didn¡¯t have a meal before leaving, Li Fan really feared they might have an ident. ¡°Teacher¡¡± Wei Yushan looked towards Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui shook his head and said, ¡°Let it be. The senior helped us recover the Divine Water Stone and also helped Qian Ning reach Golden Core Perfection. He has already granted us a huge favor. We really shouldn¡¯t ask for anything more.¡± But Mu Qianning said, ¡°Teacher, Senior Teacher, I feel that if Senior Li brought us here, it shouldn¡¯t be just to dispel our thoughts so simply¡¡± Yu Qishui paused upon hearing this, then suddenly his eyes lit up, ¡°I¡¯ve figured it out!¡± ¡°What have you figured out, Teacher?¡± Wei Yushan quickly asked. ¡°What did Senior Li say just now? He said it wasn¡¯t easy for us toe all the way, suggesting we have some food and drink before leaving¡ isn¡¯t this a sign that he is bestowing an opportunity upon us?!¡± ¡°Have you forgotten? After Qian Ning drank the senior¡¯s water, she reached Golden Core Perfection!¡± His old eyes were filled with excitement! A being as terrifyingly powerful as Senior Li, even a little something spilled from his fingertips was enough for them to benefit from for a lifetime! Immediately, Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning were also filled with expectation! Chapter 6 - 6 Senior Li is Truly a Godlike Figure_1 Chapter 6 Senior Li is Truly a Godlike Figure_1 Trantor: 549690339 Li Fan heated up a small pot of rice porridge in the kitchen and carried it out. The steam rose, filling the air with its fragrance. ¡°It smells so good! So incredibly good!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up with desire. The enticing aroma aroused the gluttony in her. ¡°Merely smelling this aroma, you can sense the intense spiritual energy of heaven and earth¡ What kind of heavenly ingredient was used to cook this?¡± Wei Yushan was even more shocked and filled with anticipation! ¡°It¡¯s more than just a heavenly ingredient¡ haven¡¯t you noticed that the rising steam is actually in the shape of a Kylin!?¡± Yu Qishui¡¯s whole body was trembling,pletely trembling. All three of them focused intently, and indeed, with the steam rising from the porridge, an invisible Dao charm took the form of a Kylin, dancing in the air! ¡°ording to legend, only when producing earth-shattering elixirs would such phenomena appear, right?¡± Wei Yushan murmured, finding himself at a loss for words. Li Fan, seeing their expressions, also smiled faintly. His culinary skills, after being honed by the ¡°System,¡± had long since reached a peak. Even the simplest ingredients, in his hands, could turn into a culinary masterpiece. He was quite confident in this regard. ¡°I just made some simple rice porridge, please eat.¡± He took out bowls, served a portion to each person, and handed them their food. Wei Yushan and the other two instantly perked up, eyes aze, swallowing their saliva! Taking the porridge with trembling hands, Yu Qishui opened his mouth and eagerly began to eat! Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning did the same! They devoured it greedily! ¡°It¡¯s truly delicious!¡± Even Mu Qianning, usually such ady, now finished a bowl of porridge in just a few gulps. ¡°Not good!¡± At this moment, Yu Qishui suddenly cried out loud! Just then, the spiritual power within his body becamepletely revitalized! He could feel that his body, which had been depleted for hundreds of years, seemed like a spring gushing forth in a desert, vitality returning in this instant! His internal organs surged with essence and vitality, and at this moment, he reached the peak of his prime years! He almost wanted to howl to the heavens! And the shackles that hadn¡¯t been broken for hundreds of years burst open at this moment! Nascent Soul Perfection broke through the shackles, advancing into the Spirit Severing Stage! At this moment, he became a powerhouse of the Spirit Severing Stage! Moreover, his aura continued to rise rapidly. Soul Splitting First Layer! Soul Splitting Second Layer! ¡ Soul Splitting Ninth Layer! He leaped across a major realm from Nascent Soul Realm, reaching the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Severing Stage! At this moment, he truly wanted to roar to the heavens! Simultaneously, Wei Yushan¡¯s face also shook, and he abruptly closed his eyes. At this moment, unknown shackles within his body shattered! His aura rocketed! Boom! He went from Nascent Soul Eighth Layer directly to Nascent Soul Perfection! Immediately after, he crossed the line between Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing! Divided Spirit First Heaven! Divided Spirit Second Heaven! ¡ Straight to Divided Spirit Seventh Heaven! Next to him, Mu Qianning also experienced a shock in her beautiful eyes. She advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, her aura growing drastically. She went from Golden Core Ninth Layer straight to Nascent Soul Ninth Layer! A leap across a major realm! What¡ what is going on? She was utterly astounded. What on earth was this otherworldly treasure she had eaten? ¡°Master¡ Qian Ning¡¡± Wei Yushan was excited, thoroughly stirred. He looked at Yu Qishui and Mu Qianning, speechless. To step from Nascent Soul directly into Spirit Severing and climb several realms at once, what kind of fortune was this? It was against the heavens! ¡°These grains of rice¡ are probably priceless treasures!¡± Yu Qishui spoke gravely, taking a deep breath. His life force was now restored to its peak, and he could at any moment return to his former glory, but with Senior Li present, he didn¡¯t dare act recklessly. ¡°Priceless treasures¡¡± Mu Qianning murmured to herself. These were treasures of iparable value, yet Senior Li had said¡ it was just some casually made rice porridge? This¡ must be what a true Supreme figure looks like, right? ¡°Are you thirsty?¡± Seeing that something was not quite right with the few of them, perhaps afraid that the porridge had scalded them, Li Fan said, ¡°One can¡¯t eat hot tofu in a hurry, you¡¯ve eaten too quickly. Have a cup of tea.¡± As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for each of the three. All three received it with the utmost respect. Yu Qishui drank it in one gulp and instantly, a sh of brilliance sparkled in his aged eyes, his face beaming with joy! As soon as the tea entered his mouth, his entire consciousness seemed to be baptized. In an instant, he saw clearly every single detail of his cultivation level. He distinctly saw that due to the madness of his earlier breakthrough, there were many ws in his cultivation, but this cup of tea, once consumed, made those ws disappear, making his cultivation more rounded and natural! This was a great gift from heaven! Without this cup of tea, their future cultivation could have probably encountered major problems! Now, their foundations were stable. Yu Qishui was even more shaken. This Senior Li truly had Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze ¡ª in his eyes, their cultivation levels must have been as clear as watching fire, and that¡¯s why he said they couldn¡¯t eat hot tofu in haste! He couldn¡¯t help but bow deeply and said, ¡°Senior Li¡¯s great kindness and virtue, Yu Qishui will never forget!¡± Seeing this, Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning also hurriedly knelt to the ground and kowtowed! Li Fan was simply shocked. Is there really a need for this? It¡¯s just a bowl of porridge and a cup of tea, right? Do the cultivators in this world have an issue? I guess these three in front of me are the impoverished in the Cultivation World? The kind that can¡¯t even afford a meal? They still have to rely on mortal¡¯s charity, how pitiful. ¡°No need for this, no need for this. Meeting by chance is predestined, these are just trivial matters.¡± Li Fan shook his head and said, ¡°All of you stand up, I won¡¯t keep you any longer.¡± Upon hearing this, Yu Qishui and the others all sighed in their hearts, their affinity had indeede to an end. This Senior and their Lihuo Sect, the cause and effect probably ended here. ¡°Thank you, Senior. We will take our leave now.¡± Yu Qishui deeply bowed. The group then turned and left, but before leaving, Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t help but look back and muster up the courage to say, ¡°Senior, Qian Ning¡ may I visit you again in the future?¡± Her beautiful eyes were filled with a hopeful light. Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan, however, felt their hearts suddenly clutch with extreme nervousness. In the face of a figure like Senior Li, how could they dare make such an unreasonable request? If they displeased him, the Lihuo Sect would be doomed! But Li Fan just smiled, as he did not have a bad impression of Mu Qianning, and said, ¡°Of course, you may.¡± The idea of such a beautiful woman visiting him often was certainly a pleasure in itself. Mu Qianning was instantly overjoyed and nearly jumped with delight. A blush swept over her face as she said, ¡°Thank you, thank you for granting permission, Senior!¡± Li Fan watched them leave the courtyard, observing as they went on their way. ¡ ¡°Qian Ning, your teacher was really sweating for you just now!¡± Having left Li Fan¡¯s residence, Wei Yushan finally rxed and let out a breath of relief. ¡°Qian Ning, securing Senior Li¡¯s promise is indeed the luck of your life¡¯s cultivation. You must pay respects to Senior Li more often from now on!¡± Yu Qishui was even more delighted. Even though Senior Li did not agree to look after the Lihuo Sect, with Qian Ning around, if the true Lihuo Sect encountered any insurmountable hurdle, the other party would just have to lift a finger, and everything would be resolved, right? This truly was an immense stroke of fortune! Mu Qianning was also somewhat excited and said, ¡°Actually, I think Senior Li is very approachable. He truly has¡ not an ounce of arrogance.¡± Her beautiful eyes brimmed with admiration. To possess such earth-shattering abilities and yet reside humbly in a mountain vige, so amiable and unpretentious, he was the kind of cultivator she imagined. ¡°By the way, Qian Ning, have you now reached Nascent Soul Ninth Layer?¡± Wei Yushan asked again. Mentioning their realms, the three of them were exceedingly excited. ¡°Yes, Nine Heavensplete, and I feel that the essence of the tea is still within me, there is more toprehend!¡± Mu Qianning was thrilled. ¡°Haha, with just a lift of Senior Li¡¯s hand, our Lihuo Sect will flourish. Your teacher has also broken into the Soul Splitting First Layer!¡± Wei Yushan was full of confidence. Now, even throughout the entire Fire Country, their Lihuo Sect could definitely not be considered insignificant. ¡°Teacher, how about you?¡± he then asked Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui smiled and said, ¡°Your teacher has spent more time at the Nascent Soul Realm, umted more, and now has reached Spirit Severing Stage Perfection, adding another three hundred years to my lifespan!¡± Hearing this, Wei Yushan could only deeply sigh, ¡°Senior Li really is like a godlike figure!¡± Before they knew it, they had reached the edge of the vige. ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s not right!¡± Suddenly, Yu Qishui¡¯s brow furrowed and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he looked up at the sky! In that sky, a red light gradually emerged, the me redening half of the sky. At the center of the me, a majestic middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, arrogantly overlooking the people below! ¡°Fiery Mountain, Yin Xiaokong!¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s voice sank! This middle-aged man was none other than the master of Fiery Mountain! He had actually found this ce! Chapter 7 - 7 The Great Power Must Not Be Insulted_1 Chapter 7 The Great Power Must Not Be Insulted_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°Yin Xiaokong, your dog¡¯s nose is really keen; you even dare to chase us here!¡± Wei Yushan spoke coldly. In the half-empty sky, Yin Xiaokong looked down at them with cold contempt, saying, ¡°This is yourst chance.¡± ¡°Either submitpletely to my Fiery Mountain, or die!¡± Wei Yushan advanced coldly, saying, ¡°Who do you think you are? Do you really think our Lihuo Sect is so easy to bully?¡± Yin Xiaokong shook his head and responded, ¡°In my eyes, you are but ants.¡± ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance to submit, don¡¯t squander it.¡± His arrogance was overpowering! He did not take the Lihuo Sect seriously at all. As he spoke, his aura gradually revealed itself, filling half the sky with an immense oppressive force! Spirit Severing Realm, Nine Heavens! ¡°Your Lihuo Sect, even with the ancestor around, is just at the Spirit Severing Realm, and moreover, he¡¯s long been dead.¡± ¡°What will you use to withstand me?¡± With a single step, he stood hovering in the air; his mighty aura caused the vegetation below to swing suddenly. ¡°Spirit Severing?¡± Wei Yushan let out a coldugh; with a step forward, a simrly terrifying aura burst forth! ¡°Spirit Severing?!¡± Yin Xiaokong was immediately startled! Wasn¡¯t Wei Yushan just a minor Nascent Soul cultivator? When had he broken through to the Spirit Severing Realm? And his aura was even pressing against his own! Impossible, the intelligence can¡¯t be wrong. When Gongsun Qi came to report, Wei Yushan was still only at the Nascent Soul¡ It was just a visit to this little mountain vige! A great unease arose in his heart, yet he said sternly, ¡°Even if you¡¯ve broken through to Spirit Severing Realm, you are still not my match!¡± ¡°Hehe, is that so? What if we add me into the mix?!¡± At this moment, Yu Qishui also spoke. He stepped forward calmly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wei Yushan. An even more terrifying aura spread, instantly suppressing Yin Xiaokong¡¯s aura! Yin Xiaokong was shocked. This was¡ theplete aura of the Spirit Severing Realm! How could this be possible! Hadn¡¯t Yu Qishui long been half-dead, with cultivation that could hardly advance? But now, he clearly appeared at his peak, causing even him to feel terror! They were both at the Soul Splitting Ninth Layer, but he was no match for Yu Qishui! ¡°Why¡ you were clearly only at the Nascent Soul Realm¡¡± He blurted out in disbelief. Two Nascent Soul Realm individuals breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm in a single day, one at the seventhyer and the otherplete?! This is simply soul-crushing! How could this be possible¡ What exactly is in this mountain vige? Unable to help himself, Yin Xiaokong took a nce at the vige below, seemingly peaceful and simple, yet in his heart, a tumultuous wave was surging! Could it be that the ancestor of Fiery Mountain hadn¡¯t really died? And that his cultivation level had reached a terrifying realm? Or was there some incredible opportunity hidden here?! ¡°Yin Xiaokong, it¡¯s time for you to die!¡± Wei Yushan and Yu Qishui did not say much more, they attacked together! Not killing Yin Xiaokong would still be a threat to their Lihuo Sect. Yin Xiaokong¡¯s heart sank; against two cultivators of the same realm attacking together, he couldn¡¯t possibly resist. Yet, he did not retreat an inch, murmering low, ¡°Today, I just have to see what kind of opportunity is hidden in this small vige that allowed you two to advance so quickly!¡± Having said that, he suddenly shook fourrge gs out of his sleeve! With bones as poles and human skin as gs, the gs whipped in the wind, bringing a chilling gust! The fourrge gs immediately surrounded Wei Yushan and Yu Qishui. A horrific aura spread, and it seemed as if countless resentful ghosts were wailing. ¡°What¡ what is this thing?¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s face changed. ¡°Wicked heretical methods!¡± Yu Qishui¡¯splexion changed; his hair flew wildly as he released a furious aura in an attempt to st away the fourrge gs! But, in between the four gs, ck invisible chains appeared in an instant, oppressing everything skywards. Wei Yushan and Yu Qishui resisted with all their might, but the chains seemed to ignore their spiritual power shields, striking heavily upon them. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Wei Yushan and Yu Qishui fell straight down from the sky. Theynded heavily on the ground. ¡°You really think you can stand against me just because you¡¯ve reached the Spirit Severing Stage?¡± Yin Xiaokong spoke coldly, having prepared to face the elders of the Lihuo Sect before he came. This Array g was his ultimate trump card, capable of ughtering Hollow Void experts! ¡°Ancestor, Master!¡± Mu Qianning hurried forward as she saw what happened, releasing her spiritual power to catch Yu Qishui and the others. Both Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were now pale, with cracked lips! They were extremely weak. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with that Array g, it¡¯s probably an artifact of a Mahayana expert¡¡± Yu Qishui managed to say with difficulty. ¡°What do we do¡¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s heart was filled with unwillingness. At this moment, Yin Xiaokong too was slowly descending. He didn¡¯t even nce at Yu Qishui and the others, instead focusing on the quiet little mountain vige ahead. ¡°What exactly is there? An opportunity?¡± He muttered to himself, and suddenly waved his hand, the fourrge gs in the sky swooped down towards the four corners of the small mountain vige! ¡°Whatever it is, I¡¯ll refine all the living beings in it first!¡± He was very cautious, wanting to use the Array g to kill every living creature first. ¡°How dare you!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s face changed drastically. ¡°What wouldn¡¯t I dare? Haha, I should thank you all for pointing out such a great opportunity to me. Perhaps, it¡¯s time for me to ascend to the Hollow Void Realm as well!¡± The gs, like four meteors, streaked across the sky, heading straight for the earth around the small mountain vige. But, right at the moment when the Array gs were about tond, they suddenly stopped, and the next moment, they shattered! They turned directly into flying ash! It was at that instant that Yin Xiaokong¡¯s face changed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, cried out in pain, and was sent flying hundreds of meters away! ¡°Bang!¡± He hit the ground hard, dust and debris scattering everywhere. Yu Qishui and the others were all shocked. ¡°Senior Li¡ took action?¡± Wei Yushan spoke with some disbelief. ¡°No¡ he didn¡¯t take action; it was just a passive defense. This mountain vige¡ due to Senior Li¡¯s residence here, had long be a terrifying forbidden area¡¡± Yu Qishui was the one who spoke in shock! Those four Array gs, most likely made by a Mahayana cultivator, but without Senior Li taking action, just by nearing the location where Senior Li resided, they were destroyed? That¡¯s terrifying. Is this the might of a peerless great power? ¡°Great powers cannot be insulted, truly they cannot deceive me¡¡± Wei Yushan muttered to himself. ¡°No¡¡± Yin Xiaokong crawled out from the ¡°Three Lives Soil¡±, his heart trembling, looking at the peaceful little mountain vige ahead, his eyes filled with fear! What¡¯s going on? How is this possible¡ The Array g in his hand was supposed to be a weapon that could nearly annihte Hollow Void Realm experts. And now it was shattered? And he himself, with all his cultivation, was almost wiped clean in an instant; he had be crippled! All of this, just because the Array g neared this mountain vige? What exactly was inside this mountain vige? Whatever it was, it was definitely not something someone of his level could touch! He must report this immediately! In that instant, he couldn¡¯t care about anything else, took out a White Jade Array te, burned his blood essence again, and activated the Teleportation Array! His figure disappeared instantly. He had escaped! Yu Qishui and the others, at this moment, all let out a sigh of relief! ¡°Ancestor, Master, how are you?¡± Mu Qianning asked anxiously. Both Wei Yushan and Yu Qishui were trying their best to circte their energy, but they found that the ck chain scars, no matter what, were difficult to remove! ¡°Such scars, if left by a Mahayana Realm expert, cannot be healed with our power¡¡± Yu Qishui gave a wry smile and looked back at the mountain vige, saying, ¡°We can only ask Senior Li for help now¡¡± Chapter 8 - 8 Way of the Great Sun_1 Chapter 8 Way of the Great Sun_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the small courtyard, Li Fan had just finished feeding the Earth Chickens with corn kernels and sat under the Peach Tree with a few leisure books to read. As dusk approached, Li Fan picked up his paintbox, along with his brushes, ink, paper, and ink stone, ready to leave. Every day at this time, he would go to the top of the mountain to paint the sunset. At first, it was a strange task issued by the System, butter, through practice after practice, Li Fan found a different kind of joy. When each stroke captured the setting sun and the rising sun of a day on paper, his heart truly felt a kind of active peace. Carrying his paintbox on his back, he left the courtyard as a group of barefoot children ran past the doorway. ¡°Walk slowly, don¡¯t fall over,¡± he said. Li Fan reminded them with a smile. ¡°Big Brother Li, are you going to climb the mountain to paint the sun again?¡± The children were all very familiar with Li Fan, and one named Wang Xiao¡¯er asked. Li Fan said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Big Brother Li Fan, you gave Er Ya a sunst time; I want one too!¡± A group of children crowded around him. Li Fan¡¯s paintings of the sun were vivid and lifelike, and the children all loved them very much. Moreover, some parents said that pasting his painting by their children¡¯s bed helped them sleep soundly, which made his paintings very popr throughout the mountain vige. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°The one from yesterday is still here; I¡¯ll give it to you guys.¡± He took out the previous day¡¯s painting from his paintbox and handed it to Wang Xiao¡¯er. Wang Xiao¡¯er jumped for joy, and as the children scrambled to look, Li Fan left. ¡ ¡°We just left and have returned; will this upset Senior Li?¡± As they were nearly there, Wei Yushan felt somewhat anxious. How could he not tread on thin ice when facing such a formidable elder? ¡°Senior Li is such a person; he probably won¡¯t mind,¡± Yu Qishui said, though without much confidence in his own heart. At that moment, a group of children ran over from the front, scrambling for a piece of paper. ¡°Wang Xiao¡¯er, give it to me¡¡± ¡°No, I won¡¯t give it to you¡¡± As the children were tugging at it, Wang Xiao¡¯er who was holding the paper stumbled and was about to fall. At the crucial moment, Mu Qianning stepped forward and steadied him, saying with a smile, ¡°Be careful.¡± ¡°Sister, they¡¯re grabbing my painting!¡± Wang Xiao¡¯er hurriedly hid behind Mu Qianning. ¡°It was Big Brother Li who gave it to us, and he didn¡¯t say it was just for you!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, hand it over!¡± The other children spoke up. Hearing the words ¡°Big Brother Li,¡± the faces of Mu Qianning and the other two people all shook. ¡°What painting? What¡¯s going on?¡± Mu Qianning asked, puzzled. Wang Xiao¡¯er handed the painting to Mu Qianning and said, ¡°Sister, look, the sunset painted by Big Brother Li Fan, it¡¯s very well done.¡± Mu Qianning took the painting and just one nce left her eyes wide with shock! On the rice paper, a red sun was slowly sinking into a sea of clouds. It was as if she was seeing the sunset with her own eyes. Moreover, she clearly felt that upon this painting, there was an infinite charm of the Dao, containing the Way of Heaven and Earth, which caused her head to swell suddenly, and she quickly averted her eyes. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Qian Ning?¡± Wei Yushan inquired. ¡°Master, Ancestor, look at this¡¡± Mu Qianning showed the painting to the two of them. Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan leaned in and scrutinized the painting closely. Boom! In the minds of Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan, the image from the painting filled their thoughts; they distinctly felt that each stroke bore traces of the natural Way! This was no ordinary painting; it could be considered a sacred picture of cultivation! If a strong individual at a cultivation bottleneck saw this painting, they might achieve instant enlightenment on the spot! And at the moment theyid eyes on this painting, an invisible dark energy within them dissipated instantly. ¡°I¡ I feel the scars inside my body are gone?!¡± Wei Yushan was shocked. Yu Qishui took in a sharp breath, saying, ¡°Senior Li¡¯s painting contains the Way of the Great Sun! In front of this painting, all dark and evil forces dissipate like smoke!¡± Wei Yushan said, ¡°Could it be that Senior Li had anticipated we would be harmed by the evil gpole and thus deliberately had these children bring the painting to us?¡± ¡°It must be the case!¡± Yu Qishui said with great seriousness, ¡°A person like Senior Li, nothing escapes his sight, everything is under his control!¡± At this moment, he became even more convinced, ¡°I suddenly understand, with Senior Li¡¯s cultivation level, Yin Xiaokong is but an ant to him, why was he able to leave unscathed? It¡¯s clear that Senior Li let him go.¡± ¡°Behind Yin Xiaokong, there must be a power of at least the Mahayana Realm, or even more terrifying forces¡ Senior Li¡ is definitely ying a chess game, and we are just the opening gambit¡¡± In his aged eyes glimmered the light of wisdom! Wei Yushan also nodded, saying, ¡°In that case, the many blessings bestowed by Senior Li are probably so that we would work for him¡¡± Yin Xiaokong, however, shook his head, saying, ¡°We do not yet qualify!¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s expression wasplex. ¡°Let¡¯s go, since Senior Li sent these children with the painting to save us, he obviously doesn¡¯t want to see us, let¡¯s leave.¡± Yin Xiaokong spoke. Mu Qianning returned the painting to Wang Xiao¡¯er, saying, ¡°You must stop fighting over it, understand? Everyone gets to look at it for a while, don¡¯t be greedy.¡± As she earnestly admonished them, her beautiful eyes carried a hint of envy. These innocent children might think this is just an ordinary painting. Little did they know, what they possessed was a blessing countless cultivators could not obtain even if they sought it! ¡ At this moment. Above Fiery Mountain. A violent tremor in the air, the space itself was torn open. A figure fell out. ¡°Sect Leader!¡± In the main hall, several elders sensed something, hurriedly appeared, and caught Yin Xiaokong. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Sect Leader¡ howe you are so weak?!¡± They all were shocked. Yin Xiaokong struggled to say, ¡°Take me to the secret chamber!¡± The elders hurriedly took him inside. Upon entering the secret chamber, they could see that it was filled with densely arranged skulls. In the center, a painting was enshrined. On the painting was the image of an Evil God! The Evil God with eight arms and two heads, the colors eerily vibrant. Yin Xiaokong lit the blood-colored incense in front of the divine image, and amidst the sparse smoke, the painting seemed toe to life. ¡°Report to the High God, I have failed, I¡¯ve met a terrifying entity!¡± ¡°That person, located at the entrance to the mountain range you indicated, resides within a vige, and the great g you bestowed¡ has been destroyed.¡± Yin Xiaokong said, bowing his head. ¡ After a long while, Yin Xiaokong emerged from the secret chamber. All the elders of Fiery Mountain were waiting. They sensed that Yin Xiaokong¡¯s breath had fully recovered and, moreover, it seemed even stronger than before! ¡°elerate our pace, we must unify all forces in that region within a month!¡± ¡°Those who resist, exterminate them directly!¡± Yin Xiaokong¡¯s face bore a sinister expression! Gongsun Qi and the other elders promptly left. Yin Xiaokong looked in a certain direction, icily said, ¡°When the messenger of the High God arrives, no matter who you are, you shall die!¡± ¡ After crossing many mountain peaks, Li Fan finally climbed the highest one. Surrounding forests extended far and wide; looking ahead, the vast mountain range resembled a Giant Dragon lying dormant upon the earth. Li Fan had not ventured deep into it, for it was likely home to dangerous spiritual beasts, and encountering them would mean a certain death for him. At this moment, the red sunset was slowly sinking in the west. Li Fan took out rice paper, ced it on a giant rock at the peak, with brush and inkstone ready, he began to paint. Chapter 9 - 9 The Divine Bird Left in the Painting by Chance_1 Chapter 9 The Divine Bird Left in the Painting by Chance_1 Trantor: 549690339 A red sun gradually descended in the ever-changing winds and clouds. The mountain range, nketed in red, was as if cloaked in a golden mantle. A cool breeze, filled with a gentle infinite sadness, suggesting the good scene was fleeting. On the rice paper, the tip of the brush had alreadyid down the first stroke. At this moment, Li Fan¡¯s heart was quiet to the extreme, his mind focused solely on that sunset. He felt with his heart the passing of time. And at this moment. A momentous event was unfolding within this boundless mountain range! Deep within the earth, it was as though a giant heart was pulsating. Countless beasts, in that instant, felt an endless panic and were fleeing rapidly from the woods. Birds and beasts, at this very moment, had triggered a massive tide of creatures! In the shadows behind this torrent of beasts, a few flying creatures coldly drove the hordes onward! The stampede of beasts was in turmoil! Within the herd, a small white tiger¡¯s body transformed into a streak of light, outpacing numerous spirit beasts! Following behind were three fearsome birds of prey with terrifying auras! The three birds of prey were enveloped in mes, and each feather was as sharp as a steel de¡ªclearly, they were no ordinary spirit beasts! ¡°Catch her, our master will definitely need the White Tiger Ancestral Blood in her body!¡± ¡°Stop running, or we will not spare your life!¡± These three birds of prey were actually speaking humannguage! But the little white tiger just kept desperately running! Seeing that the three birds were getting closer and closer, she was about to run out of ces to escape. And ahead, a mountain peak suddenly appeared. All the wild beasts in escape surprisingly avoided this mountain. She felt even more so that upon this seemingly ordinary peak, the essence of dao was evolving continuously, with thews of the dao circting non-stop! Spiritual beasts of the world are most sensitive to such auras. Generally speaking, this means that within the mountain peak, there must be a presence that was extraordinarily unordinary. It inspired a natural fear in countless fierce beasts! Just by approaching, the small tiger felt a trembling from her soul, as if facing an ancient and unparalleled terrifying being. However, at this moment, with the pursuers too close behind, she had no choice. Biting hard, she turned into a streak of light and soared toward the mountain peak! Seeing the small tiger rushing up the mountain, the three birds of prey immediately halted in their tracks! ¡°Wait, this ce¡ why do I feel such terror?¡± ¡°This mountain is strange¡¡± The stronger their cultivation level, the more palpably they felt the pressure that touched their souls. ¡°What shall we do? Are we going to let her escape just like this?¡± The three birds of prey discussed amongst themselves. ¡°No way! Our master is at a crucial juncture in his revival, desperately in need of arge number of ancestral blood creatures. There¡¯s a trace of ancestral blood in this White Tiger¡¯s body, we absolutely cannot let her go!¡± One of the birds of prey revealed a gleam of icy light in its eyes: ¡°Let¡¯s go up and take a look. On thisnd, there is nothing stronger than our master!¡± Instantly, the three birds of prey soared at high speed! The small tiger transformed into a beam of light and charged upwards, finallynding on the mountain¡¯s peak. When she became three Looking ahead, she saw at the top of the peak, next to a boulder, a youth, oblivious to everything else, was painting! In the distance, the setting sun was boundless, its rays painting the world in a deste but stunningly beautiful scene. In the foreground, a youth focused on his painting, utterly absorbed, each movement seeming to merge with the essence of the world around him¡ ¡°Such a rich essence of dao, thews of heaven and earth are flowing with his brush¡¡± Xiao Bai the tiger was astonished. Who was this incredibly powerful being? As she was shocked, the three birds of prey alsonded behind her. However, in their eyes, there was a look of horror. They were fixated on the youth in front who was painting. ¡°So terrifying¡ such a terrifying presence, I feel like my soul is about to be directly subdued¡¡± ¡°Impossible, how can there be such a being in this ce?¡± The three birds of prey were trembling! In their eyes, each stroke and line drawn by Li Fan seemed to epass the entire dao of the world. The sunset that Li Fan painted did not resemble a painting at all, but a real sunset! It was as if the gradually setting sun had simply entered his painting. As Li Fan¡¯s artwork approachedpletion, it seemed as though the Dao was also converging within the entire mountain peak! ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, the bodies of the three birds of prey resounded with a thunderous Dao melody! Within their bodies, thin runes began to emerge from their blood, gradually brightening and taking shape! ¡°This¡ This is the call of the Dao, the faint Divine Beast symbols within our beings are actually reemerging?¡± ¡°Heavens, are we¡ going to restore the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Peng of our ancestors?!¡± ¡°This is a defiance of the heavens, a chance against the heavens!¡± The three birds of prey were excited at this moment, thoroughly excited! Merely by watching the man before them paint, they had activated the faint Divine Beast rune imprints within their bodies! And Xiao Bai also let out a low growl. At this moment, she radiated light all over, as if transformed into a Divine Beast! She distinctly felt the mixed blood within her transforming into a pale golden color! That was¡ the White Tiger Ancestral Blood! ¡ Li Fan was fully engaged in his painting,pletely oblivious to everything around him. When the sunset finally dipped below the clouds, his brush also conveniently came to a stop! The sunset between heaven and earth had disappeared, but the sunset he had painted had just perfectly formed! ¡°Huff¡ª¡± Li Fan breathed out gently and, with a smile, admired the sunset on the paper. To capture the beauty of this world with ink and brush was indeed a joyful thing. When he turned around, he noticed that on the other side of the mountain peak, three unusually remarkable birds and an adorable kitten had appeared at some point. ¡°Hmm?¡± Li Fan suddenly felt something. It was the first time that living creatures had appeared while he was painting. It is said that some exceptionally skilled musicians could attract birds of all kinds and even Phoenixes with their music. Could painting also have such miraculous effects? Li Fan was taken aback. He thought it was indeed an event worthmemorating. Thus, he picked up his brush again and dered, ¡°Since you¡¯ve appeared, then I shall keep you in the painting¡ª¡± He added the birds to the painting, right among that round of sunset. Therge birds spread their wings as if flying towards the sunset. Vivid and lifelike, indistinguishable from the raptors, his simple strokes conveyed the spirit! His first stroke wasid down! Xiao Bai suddenly sensed something and quickly turned her head, only to see a terrifying bird of prey behind her with panic-stricken eyes, seemingly controlled by some iprehensible power. In the next moment, it vanished on the spot! Li Fan¡¯s first bird had just taken shape! Li Fan picked up his brush to paint the second one. ¡°No¡¡± The remaining two birds of prey showed terror in their eyes. An unknown, mysterious, and terrifying power petrified them; they wanted to flee with their wings but were immobilized! The instant Li Fan¡¯s second bird took shape, another bird of prey disappeared. The third bird of prey copsed onto the ground, trembling as it stared at the terrifying youth. But this did not change its fate of vanishing along with Li Fan¡¯s brushstrokes! Li Fan finally finished painting the third bird, and all three birds of prey¡ were gone! Xiao Bai looked at Li Fan, her intelligent tiger eyes filled with fear. Good heavens, what Great Demon King had she encountered? What kind of terrifying being? With just a few brushstrokes, three Divine Birds beyond the Hollow Void Realm were directly¡ drawn into the painting? If word got out¡ it would scare a tiger to death! No, he was going to paint her next¡ No, I, Bai Xiaoqing, don¡¯t want to, don¡¯t want to disappear¡ don¡¯t want to enter the painting¡ Whimper, what to do¡ Her tiger eyes were frantic with fear when she suddenly remembered, humans are said to love cats¡ Gathering all her courage, she directed the most humiliating sounds of her life toward the terrifying human; ¡°Meow meow~~~~ Meow meow meow~~~¡± Chapter 10 - 10 White Tiger as a Pet_1 Chapter 10 White Tiger as a Pet_1 Trantor: 549690339 Li Fan heard a cat¡¯s meowing from behind and immediately stopped writing, smiling as he said, ¡°The scene is now full, adding more would be unwee; there is no ce for you in this painting anymore.¡± When he turned around, he was surprised to find that the threerge birds had vanished. Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled, wondering why they had flown away¡ But the little kitten was still there. He packed up his painting kit and walked over to the kitten, squatting down beside it. Bai Xiaoqing looked at the young man¡¯s handsome face, his smile so gentle; however, she felt extremely frightened and could only let out a weak, ¡°Meow meow, meow meow meow~~¡± ¡°A stray cat?¡± Li Fan muttered to himself. This little white cat was pure snow white, without any other color, and itsrge eyes were bright and pitiful, indeed evoking sympathy. ¡°It so happens that I¡¯m missing a cat at home; I¡¯ll take you in.¡± He reached out and gently stroked the little white cat¡¯s head. Bai Xiaoqing was terrified at that moment, but sheplied and kept ¡°meowing¡± in response. Li Fan then picked up the little white cat and headed down the mountain. Bai Xiaoqing had felt a bit of fear and hesitation, but as Li Fan held her tightly in his arms, she suddenly revealed an intoxicated look on her face! Sofortable! This man¡¯s body was full of the essence of the Dao, carrying the fragrance of the great way, making every one of her pores nearly open up in rxation! She never wanted to leave him ever! However, when Li Fan was walking down the rugged mountain path, herfort level was not very good, as it was somewhat bumpy. Why does a powerful being like him still need to walk¡ Bai Xiaoqing was puzzled, but she quickly pushed these thoughts aside, as lying in the young man¡¯s arms was just toofortable. Before long, Li Fan had entered a small mountain vige. ¡°Little Li, you¡¯re back? Oh, where did you pick up a stray cat?¡± Along the way, people greeted Li Fan warmly and were a bit surprised to see the little white cat in his arms. ¡°Yes, I picked it up to keep as a pet; it could be quite fun.¡± Li Fan replied with a smile. ¡°My, Little Li, I¡¯ve always said you needed apanion. Why keep a cat? The girls in our vige are all waiting for you. Having a wife is better than any cat, right? If you had listened to Auntie Li, by now you¡¯d be holding your own chubby little boy!¡± A woman nearby jested, ¡°Seriously, how about old Sun¡¯s daughter? She really likes you.¡± Faced with this topic, Li Fan fled in haste. In Li Fan¡¯s arms, Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s wide eyes were filled with astonishment; all these people were inly mortals¡ Such a formidable figure, actually living in seclusion in an ordinary small mountain vige? Mixing withmon people? When she was brought to the front of Li Fan¡¯s courtyard, Bai Xiaoqing suddenly became anxious. Was she really going to be raised as a pet¡ After all, she was a princess of the White Tiger Lineage¡ To have wandered into the Cangli Mountain Range once and been chased by a Divine Beast was one thing, but to be a pet was another¡ She suddenly felt reluctant. Li Fan had already pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, cing her on a stone table, then went into the house to find food for the kitten. ¡°Now is the time to escape¡¡± Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s eyes darted around, and she quietly leaped from the stone table, ready to transform into a streak of light and flee. But, at that moment, an Earth Chicken swimming nearby suddenly nced at Bai Xiaoqing. Her mind exploded! A primal fear instantly spread throughout her, causing her legs to go soft, and she copsed to the ground! What was happening¡what sort of colossal cmity possessed such authority? Bai Xiaoqing trembled! Fortunately, at that moment, Li Fan, who had walked out of the room with a bowl in his hand, came over and saw the little white cat on the ground, saying with a smile, ¡°Look at you being naughty, did you fall down?¡± After speaking, he reached forward and picked up the little white cat. Instantly, that sensation as if facing an ancient fierce beast disappeared for Bai Xiaoqing! She was scared out of her wits, her courage almost shattered¡ Oh my goodness, what kind of terrifying Divine Beast was that, with just a look, it overwhelmed her! Even the most dreadful giant beasts in the outside world that could stir up huge waves seemed like nothingpared to it¡ Not to mention herself; even if her father came, he would be nothing more than an ant before it! And this young man, he¡¯s actually keeping a flock of them¡ Bai Xiaoqing felt like her view on feline life, no, her view on tiger life, had beenpletely overturned that day. ¡°We¡¯re out of meat at home, and I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯ll eat these vegetables¡¡± Li Fan took out a piece of wheat bread from the bowl, broke it into small pieces, and offered it to the little white cat¡¯s mouth. Bai Xiaoqing was still immersed in shock when she suddenly smelled the aroma of wheat cakes. Herrge eyes immediately lit up! ¡°Meow! Meow meow!¡± She let out a joyful meowing sound! Opening her small, flesh-colored mouth, she swallowed the wheat cake in Li Fan¡¯s hand in one gulp. At this moment, her face showed an expression of sheer enjoyment and intoxication! My goodness! It¡¯s so delicious! And, it has such strong spiritual power¡ Just as she swallowed the wheat cake, she clearly felt the White Tiger Ancestral Blood within her body grow stronger¡ She was excited, trembling. Could this be her supreme opportunity? Could it be that by staying in this courtyard with this senior, she could be a true pure-blooded Divine Beast, the White Tiger? At this moment, she suddenly felt that being a human¡¯s pet¡ wasn¡¯t such an uneptable idea¡ ¡°Hey, even cats know how to enjoy themselves.¡± Li Fanughed. He knew his cooking skills were definitely good, but he had not expected the kitten to like it too. This solved a big problem; otherwise, where would he find meat for the kitten? Feed it with the chickens he raised himself? There weren¡¯t many to begin with, and it would be a shame to kill them. ¡ The small mountain vige where Li Fan lived was so peaceful. Yet he had no idea that far away, in the cities of the Southern Fire Country, great cmity had struck! It was none other than the beast tide from the Cangli Mountain Range that had directly assaulted the cities of the Southern Fire Country! Yan Yuan City, Li Jing City, and several other cities were almost submerged by the beast tide, their defenses broken, with countless lives lost and creatures perishing! This beast tide sent shock waves throughout the Fire Country! ¡ At this moment. Lihuo Sect. Yu Qishui and the others who had returned were sitting in the grand hall. ¡°Master, what should we do next?¡± Wei Yushan asked. Yu Qishui pondered and said, ¡°Without a doubt, Senior Li is setting a trap!¡± ¡°And those who are involved in this trap are bound to be no ordinary characters.¡± ¡°Our Lihuo Sect has already drawn out part of it for Senior Li, which is Fiery Mountain.¡± ¡°But, I believe that¡¯s not enough. Otherwise, there would be no need for Senior Li to have us advance to the Soul Divide Realm!¡± As he spoke, Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning both nodded in agreement. The more they thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense. Such a great person must have meaningful intentions behind every move they make. ¡°So, what should we do now to align with Senior Li¡¯s ns?¡± Wei Yushan said. Yu Qishui shook his head and replied, ¡°What kind of person is Senior Li? How dare we specte about his ns?¡± ¡°One thing we can be sure of is that Senior Li and the forces behind Fiery Mountain are definitely not on good terms!¡± ¡°Therefore, as juniors supported by Senior Li, it¡¯s certain that taking a stand against them is the right choice!¡± ¡°Today, we dere war on Fiery Mountain!¡± He swept his sleeve with a grand gesture! Wei Yushan was shocked. This was definitely a major event. In the past half-year, Fiery Mountain had be extremely aggressive, sweeping through the entire Southern Fire Country from its previous status as a second-tier sect. Almost all the sects had been swallowed up. To dere war now signified an open confrontation! But, recalling the senior back in the small mountain vige, Wei Yushan¡¯s courage surged. Fiery Mountain was nothing to fear! He stood up and said, ¡°Good, Yu Shan will immediately issue the Sect Master¡¯s decree!¡± ¡°Dere war on Fiery Mountain!¡± ¡ As the news spread, it caused another stir in the Fire Country! ¡ To focus on writing, I live stream my writing every day from 19:30 to 22:00 on Douyin. You can find my live stream by searching on Douyin for: writerguixin (or search: Writer Guixin). Chapter 11 - 11 Potential Sun-Level Power?_1 Chapter 11 Potential Sun-Level Power?_1 Trantor: 549690339 The rapid rise of Fiery Mountain had long since be a noteworthy event throughout the entire Fire Nation. Within the territory of the Fire Nation, ¡°Sun-Level¡± powers were already few. ¡ª¡ªA force with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was known as a ¡°Star-Level¡± power; those with Soul Divided experts were called ¡°Moon-Level¡±, and those with Hollow Void experts were the ¡°Sun-Level¡± powers. Those possessing Mahayana realm powerhouses were known as Transcendent Powers, As for sects with Body Integration realm experts, they were revered as Supreme forces! Above the Supreme forces were the terrifying Holy Land-ranked forces; it was said those forces had all once produced Immortals! ¡During this time, Fiery Mountain had risen swiftly, swallowing up a bunch of Star and Moon-Level powers, and even annihted a Sun-Level power. This could be said to be extremely terrifying! And now, in the southern part of the Fire Country, a sect, which previously was merely a Star-Level force, actually dered war on Fiery Mountain? At first, most people didn¡¯t pay it any mind. Because, in the eyes of the world, this was nothing but the Lihuo Sect being driven to a dead end and striking at a stone with an egg. But a monthter, Lihuo Sect was still there, in good condition, and no one from Fiery Mountain dared to trouble them! This directly surprised many powers within the Fire Nation. They all spected that the Lihuo Sect had a hidden trump card! Add to that the disturbances in the Cangli Mountain Range in the southern Fire Country, with reports of a great beast tide urring, which hade out as well. Various parties were all the more focused. That mountain range had too many legends; for a time, all the major sects of the Fire Nation sent people there. Even sects from other nations were rushing over! ¡ A Yu Kong Flying Ship streaked across the sky. Aboard the ship were dozens of powerful cultivators. This group of cultivators all wore identical garments adorned with a Crimson me Lotus! In the Fire Nation, the Crimson me Lotus was the symbol of the royal family. This was a royal team. At the forefront of the team a young man was looking vigntly around, holding a long sword in his hand, carefully watching the surrounding area. Stepping out from the cabin, a woman dressed in a pale golden gown appeared, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty; she moved with easy grace to the front and said, ¡°We¡¯re close now, aren¡¯t we?¡± The young man replied, ¡°Reporting to the Princess, in half an hour, we will reach the Lihuo Sect!¡± However, the young man paused, then added, ¡°Princess, the Lihuo Sect is just a small Star-Level power, is it worth our visit?¡± ¡°And doing so, wouldn¡¯t it cause Fiery Mountain to be hostile towards us?¡± As rulers of the Fire Country, the royal family, though powerful, also needed to bnce all the powers. Especially now, as one of the candidates for the throne of the Fire Country, the Princess was heading to the south, and it was not to the most powerful Fiery Mountain, but to an obscure Lihuo Sect¡ He did not feel good about this. But the girl simply shook her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on the road ahead as she said, ¡°Lin Tong, remember, there¡¯s a saying, ¡®the way to gain help is to lend help to others¡¯.¡± ¡°Fiery Mountain is indeed very strong, but their strength is built upon the ruins of countless sects.¡± ¡°A Sun-Level sect was simply wiped out because they refused to submit. Such a brutal force, whoever tries to recruit them, is making a deal with a tiger.¡± ¡°On the other hand, at such a time, for a small sect like the Lihuo Sect to dare to be so bold is extremely rare.¡± Her lips curved slightly as she added, ¡°Moreover, if the Lihuo Sect can dere war on Fiery Mountain and still survive for so long, this sect must not be as simple as it seems, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Tong also couldn¡¯t help but be startled. ¡ Lihuo Sect. Inside the grand hall. Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, Mu Qianning, and many elders were discussing matters. ¡°Elder Sect Master, are we really not going to activate the Mountain Protection Array? Fiery Mountain could attack at any time¡¡± An elder spoke up, his face showing a hint of trepidation. Ever since dering war, these elders had truly been on tenterhooks. In their view, it was almost a death wish. But both the former Sect Master and the current Sect Master were very confident. Moreover, they even told everyone to cultivate in seclusion and not bother about Fiery Mountain. At first, everyone thought that the Sect Master and the Elder Sect Master had gone mad. Yet Fiery Mountain really never came for the Lihuo Sect. Not even a scout had appeared. This waspletely contrary to Fiery Mountain¡¯s domineering behavior. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s been a month, they wouldn¡¯t dare toe.¡± Yu Qishui smiled lightly, feelingpletely at ease now. The reason why he had instructed the sect not to prepare its defenses was because if the existence behind Fiery Mountain decided to make a move, they would stand no chance at all. And if that existence behind Fiery Mountain did make a move, perhaps, they would have done another favor for Senior Li? Maybe, after luring out the opponent, Senior Li himself might deal with the situation. By then, what would the backing of Fiery Mountain amount to? It can be said that they were gambling with this decision. It was highly possible that their sect might suffer a cmitous disaster as a result. However, he firmly believed that even if they had to sacrifice the entire sect, as long as they could do something for Senior Li, he would surely remember them! What kind of person was Senior Li? With just a raising of his hand, a new and glorious Lihuo Sect would emerge from the ruins of the sect. But, the game of chess he had been calcting in his heart turned out to bepletely empty! Because¡ Fiery Mountain actually didn¡¯t dare toe! Damn, he had overestimated those bastards¡ Yu Qishui was getting quite lonely waiting. It was too rash. ¡°Princess Fire Spirit of the Southern Fire Country, here to visit Lihuo Sect!¡± At that moment, a clear voice rang out from beyond the mountain gate of Lihuo Sect. Instantly, everyone in the great hall changed their expressions! ¡°The Princess of the Fire Country, Fire Spirit? Why has shee¡¡± ¡°Fire Spirit, the Fire Emperor¡¯s third daughter.¡± ¡°The Royal Family of the Fire Nation, our Lihuo Sect has never caught the royal eye, have we? Why the visit?¡± Everyone started to discuss loudly. Yu Qishui, on the other hand, had a thought. The royal family hase too? This can¡¯t be simple¡ ¡°Come, let¡¯s go out to wee the Princess!¡± He made a grand gesture. Immediately, everyone went out to meet her. ¡°We humbly wee Princess Fire Spirit!¡± The sect gate was flung open! Above the Yu Kong Flying Ship outside the Lihuo Sect, Fire Spirit and her entourage were waiting. Hearing this, the flying ship slowly descended. ¡°Princess, this Lihuo Sect is quite confident! They have offended Fiery Mountain and yet are so rxed, not even the Mountain Protection Array is activated, and there¡¯s not a trace of defense to be seen among the sect members.¡± Lin Tong spoke with some surprise. Fire Spirit, however, smiled and said, ¡°Confident? I feel like Lihuo Sect doesn¡¯t take Fiery Mountain seriously at all?¡± Her curiosity intensified about this small Lihuo Sect and the source of its confidence. The Yu Kong Flying Shipnded. ¡°I am Wei Yushan, Sect Master of Lihuo Sect, and this is my teacher, Elder Yu. We wee Princess Fire Spirit¡¯s arrival!¡± Wei Yushan stepped forward and spoke. After Fire Spirit and her people disembarked from the flying ship, she used a spell to shrink the huge vessel and tucked it into her sleeve. She turned her gaze to Wei Yushan and was surprised, ¡°Sect Master Wei¡ you¡¯ve reached the Soul Divide?¡± Her divine sense was extremely powerful! The intelligence had it that Lihuo Sect was merely a force not exceeding Star-ranked, with at most two or three Nascent Soul Cultivators. But this Wei Yushan was clearly a high-level cultivator in the Divided Spirit Realm! This was not a Star-ranked force, but a¡ Moon-ranked power! She couldn¡¯t help but nce at the other members of the sect. When she saw Yu Qishui, she was even more taken aback, another Soul Dividing Stage cultivator, and¡ quite extraordinary, seemingly on the verge of entering the Hollow Void Realm?! This was a¡ Quasi-Sun-Level power. The Royal Family of the Fire Nation, as a genuine Transcendent Power with Mahayana Realm powerhouses, would pay attention to Sun-Level powers within its territory. Yet, the Royal Family had failed to notice the emergence of a Quasi-Sun-Level power¡ Her gaze then fell on Mu Qianning, and her eyes narrowed slightly in awe. ¡°A peerless genius!¡± This young girl seemed to be about her age, but her cultivation was already at Nascent Soul Perfection, on the verge of entering the Spirit Severing Stage? This was too monstrous! She looked at Mu Qianning in shock, ¡°May I ask which master this youngdy follows?¡± Chapter 12 - 12 Senior Li’s Supreme Game_1 Chapter 12 Senior Li¡¯s Supreme Game_1 Trantor: 549690339 Mu Qianning was somewhat puzzled; before she could speak, Yu Qishui already smiled and said: ¡°This is Mu Qianning, the Saintess of the Lihuo Sect, her cultivation level is modest, which may seemughable to the Princess.¡± He paused for a moment and continued, ¡°As for Qian Ning¡¯s master, it¡¯s inconvenient to borate on that, and I hope the Princess can forgive me.¡± Strictly speaking, Mu Qianning¡¯s master was Wei Yushan, but her cultivation was actually granted by the generosity of Senior Li. Since Senior Li didn¡¯t formally take Qian Ning as a disciple, he naturally dared not overstep. Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit¡¯s beautiful eyes shed withplexity. Is this what you call a modest cultivation level? Isn¡¯t this just infuriatingly ridiculous? After all, she is the Princess of the Fire Country. From a young age, she had unlimited cultivation resources; everything she wanted¡ªbe it pills or spiritual essences¡ªwas abundant. Moreover, all her teachers are of the Hollow Void Level! She has only reached the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, yet in the entire Fire Country, she is absolutely among the top of her peers. Nevertheless, in this remote Southern Territory, there is someone even stronger than her, nearly breaking into Soul Divide? She felt truly thwarted. This could definitely be considered the supreme talent of the Fire Country. At the same time, a thought stirred in her heart. Yu Qishui just mentioned that it¡¯s inconvenient to disclose Mu Qianning¡¯s master. If her master were anyone present here, what would be the harm in saying so? Could it be that behind the Lihuo Sect, there is a powerful figure? Perhaps that¡¯s the confidence behind the Lihuo Sect¡¯s audacity to stand up against the Fiery Mountain? She faintly felt that she had grasped onto something. ¡°Princess, please, this way to the great hall!¡± Wei Yushan gestured with his hand. Soon after, inside the great hall. Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and the others, sat opposite Fire Spirit. ¡°May I ask the reason for the Princess¡¯s long journey here?¡± Wei Yushan inquired. Fire Spirit replied, ¡°Before discussing that, I want to ask¡ªdoes your sect indeed have a remarkable figure behind the scenes?¡± Upon hearing this, the faces of Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and the others turned solemn. This Princess of the Fire Country, how astute she is. ¡°Even though your Imperial Family is powerful, it is merely a Transcendent Power. In the grand scheme of Senior Li, I fear it is nothing but a mere pawn!¡± thought they to themselves. Wei Yushan indifferently responded, ¡°What rtion does this have to the purpose of your visit, Princess?¡± Hmph, thinking to inquire about Senior Li? The Royal Family might not be qualified for that. Fire Spirit smiled slightly and said, ¡°I won¡¯t hide it from you all, this time the situation in the Southern Fire Country is incredibly significant and far-reaching!¡± ¡°The Fiery Mountain you are facing is beyond allmon sense. If the person backing you isn¡¯t powerful enough, then there is no necessity for us to cooperate.¡± She was very confident! The Royal Family of the Fire Country, boasting Mahayana Powerhouses, was a Transcendent Power. Even though the Lihuo Sect was close to a Sun-Level Power, in their eyes, it counted for little!¡± Wei Yushan and the others felt a chill. ¡°Master, what do you think?¡± He asked this question to Yu Qishui using his spirit sense. After pondering a moment, Yu Qishui said, ¡°From what we see now, the chess gameid out by Senior Li is likely a vast one, involving more and more yers.¡± ¡°What kind of a figure is Senior Li? If we did anything wrong, he would have probably already indicated it. Since he has given no instructions thus far, it precisely indicates that everything we are doing is still within Senior Li¡¯s calctions.¡± ¡°Therefore, we should simply go with the flow.¡± Wei Yushan nodded in agreement and then turned to Fire Spirit, ¡°Princess, you can bepletely at ease with this matter.¡± ¡°That Senior, is more than capable of handling everything!¡± Seeing Wei Yushan so confident, Fire Spirit couldn¡¯t help but reveal a beautiful smile and said leisurely, ¡°Even facing an Evil God, you can cope?¡± Evil God! At these two words, the people of Lihuo Sect suddenly changed color! In the Xuantian Realm, the term ¡°Evil God¡± carries a special significance. When cultivators take the final step out of the Integration Realm, they touch upon the legendary Immortal Path! But it¡¯s a path of nine deaths and one life. Among those, many invincible beings have stepped half into the domain of the Immortal Path but failed toprehend the true essence of the path. Instead, they were devoured by inner demons! Such existences generally be Evil Gods. Because they have touched upon the Immortal Path, their power is terrifyingly formidable, surpassing even the Supreme Level. However, their humanity has been extinguished, and they even transform into crazed and twisted monsters. Evil God is a synonym for extreme danger. Once an Evil God appears in this world, the entire Xuantian Realm often plunges into a massive upheaval, with all living beings smeared with ash, great cultivators shedding blood, and even provoking Supreme Being battles! ¡°It actually¡ involves an Evil God¡¡± Yu Qishui was shocked as he murmured, ¡°No wonder, ah. How could someone like Senior Li, a figure of his caliber, bother to move for a trivial matter?¡± ¡°This game actually involves the participation of an Evil God level being. Isn¡¯t Senior Li¡¯s move¡ a bit too grand? This is simply a Supreme level game!¡± Wei Yushan was also murmuring, saying, ¡°Perhaps, the reason Senior Li set up this game is to spare themon people from a great disaster?¡± Mu Qianning, too, was taken aback for a moment, but then her gaze showed a resolute expression. She believed that, even in the face of an Evil God, as long as Senior Li was there, surely no turmoil could arise. After a long while, Yu Qishui and the others gradually regained theirposure. ¡°Although Evil Gods are terrifying, the Princess can rest assured about the strength of that existence!¡± Wei Yushan eventually spoke to Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit couldn¡¯t help but feel amazed in her heart. Even Evil Gods, the Lihuo Sect can view them so indifferently? Could it be that behind Lihuo Sect, there really is a Supreme Level figure? One should know that an Evil God is what a failing Supreme Being bes while attempting thest step. To speak such words, one must be at least a Supreme Being, and not just any Supreme Being, but one among the elite! But, in the entire Southern Territory of the Xuantian Realm, Supreme Level powers are few and far between! The living Supreme Beings exist only in legends, perhaps two or three at most. Could one of them be standing behind Lihuo Sect? It¡¯s unimaginable! ¡°Alright, since you all have this confidence, then I might as well tell you another piece of news.¡± Fire Spirit then continued, ¡°The first thing an Evil God wants to do when descending to a ce is ughter all the living beings there!¡± ¡°Because, having touched the Immortal Path, they will be detected by this world. Only by destroying all living beings, creating a Blood Domain, can the Evil God arrive.¡± ¡°ording to the information we¡¯ve obtained, that Evil God is very likely to descend in this domain in the near future!¡± Yu Qishui and the others were greatly rmed. Did this mean that in the near future, not only the Southern Fire Country but also the entire Fire Country¡ would be annihted? ¡°If Senior Li¡¯s game is indeed to await theing of the Evil God, then this news is also very important to him.¡± Wei Yushan spoke to Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui nodded and said, ¡°This is of great significance, it¡¯s beyond our capability to involve ourselves. What we need to do is tell Senior Li this news!¡± Fire Spirit¡¯s heart stirred, so that existence surnamed Li? In the Southern Territory of the Xuantian Realm, which Supreme Being has the surname Li? She stood up and said, ¡°May I join you to meet this Senior? Perhaps I can also provide some valuable information for him!¡± She was bing more and more curious about that being! Yu Qishui thought for a moment and then said, ¡°Good!¡± Chapter 13 - 13 Senior Li’s Cat_1 Chapter 13 Senior Li¡¯s Cat_1 Trantor: 549690339 The Yu Kong Flying Ship traversed the sky, and before long, it had already appeared just outside the small mountain vige. ¡°Is that senior figure really in seclusion here?¡± Fire Spirit was somewhat surprised. The small vige looked very ordinary indeed. ¡°Princess, there is something I must tell you first,¡± At this moment, Wei Yushan spoke up, saying, ¡°This Senior Li is a mysterious and unfathomable figure. Now, he lives in seclusion in this mountain vige, assimting with mortals, ying the game of life.¡± He paused, ¡°Therefore, when you meet the senior, please be careful not to be abrupt or to offend him.¡± Hearing Wei Yushan¡¯s earnest warning, Fire Spirit¡¯s curiosity was piqued even more. ying the game of life! Such characters indeed sound like something out of legends. The flying ship stopped just outside the vige. Yu Qishui and others, apanied Fire Spirit as they walked into the vige. ¡°Oh, howe you¡¯re here again?¡± Old Man Zhang at the entrance of the vige saw them and smiled. ¡°We¡¯vee to pay a visit to Mr. Li,¡± Wei Yushan replied very politely, referring to Senior Li. After discussing, they had determined that since Senior Li was living in seclusion here in the vige, he naturally didn¡¯t want the ordinary vigers to know about his extraordinary identity. If they identally revealed it, a single anger from Senior Li would mean the end of Lihuo Sect in this world. ¡°Little Li is at home. You folks should go quickly,¡± Old Zhang smiled. The party then continued on their way. ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s something wrong with this gutter!¡± On the road, all of a sudden, Fire Spirit¡¯s pretty face changed as she walked to the edge of a ditch, looked at the stones piled up there, and said, ¡°This ditch conceals Dao intentions, and even the ordinary flow of water has gained a hint of spirituality¡¡± She took out a White Jade Vial and collected a bottle of water from the ditch! ¡°Worthy of study!¡± She was very serious. Yu Qishui and others hadplex expressions, having been deeply shaken themselves when they first entered this little mountain vige. Now it seemed that even the Royal Family regarded the small touches left behind by Senior Li with high importance. Not far along, Fire Spirit was shocked once again. ¡°This tree¡ is full of Spirit Fruits?¡± She pointed to a pear tree in the courtyard of amon farmhouse. The pears were full and luscious, looking tempting and shiny. In terms of spirituality, they were on par with some of the treasures in the Imperial Pce of the Fire Nation. What exactly was this ce? ¡°This house is clearly a Daoist site! Who are the people living here?¡± ¡°Are these vegetables in the garden¡ actually Spiritual Medicine?¡± ¡ As they walked, Fire Spirit became more and more astonished. ¡°Sect Master Yu, are all these¡ the work of that senior?¡± She was somewhat incredulous. This small mountain vige, outwardly unimpressive, revealed profound mysteries within. Just this short walk revealed a depth that did not pale inparison to the Royal Family of the Fire Nation! Not to mention, how much more was hidden throughout the entire vige! This was terrifying. It meant that Senior Li in seclusion here¡ was at least above the Mahayana Realm! In the Integration Realm, one could be called a Venerable, and at thepletion of the Nascent Soul Realm, one became a Supreme¡ Was there really a Venerable or even a Supreme hiding here? ¡°All of these are just the casual undertakings of Senior Li while he amuses himself in the mortal world,¡± Yu Qishui shook his head, reminiscing the sights he had encountered within Senior Li¡¯s residence¡ those were the real terror. Fire Spirit felt an increasing solemnity in her heart, realizing that this trip was truly worthwhile. Before long, they finally appeared outside the gate of Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Hmm? This¡ such strong spiritual charm¡ as if it¡¯s a world unto itself, transcending the mundane, unfathomable, and untouchable¡¡± In Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes, a sh of crimson light passed, but the next moment, she hurriedly closed her eyes, tears streaming from her beautiful eyes! ¡ªShe couldn¡¯t help but use the ¡°Bright Fire Eyes¡± to observe the courtyard, but as soon as she activated them, she was thwarted by some force! Had that force been malicious, she might have died on the spot! Too terrifying! Seeing this, Yu Qishui frowned and said, ¡°Princess, you are too reckless!¡± How dare she use divine skills in front of Senior Li? This is seeking death! Fortunately, Senior Li is magnanimous, otherwise the peerless beauty Fire Spirit would now be nothing but a corpse! Fire Spirit also hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s my fault, please forgive me, Sect Master Yu!¡± Her tears kept falling, unstoppable, making her feel ufortable for a while. Although displeased, Yu Qishui still nced at Mu Qianning. They didn¡¯t dare to step forward, after all, Senior Li had only agreed to let Mu Qianning visit him. Mu Qianning took a deep breath and stepped forward. Inside the courtyard. Li Fan, utterly bored, was making a fire to cook cat food. These past few days, having the little white cat forpany had brought him quite a bit of joy. Moreover, the little white cat was very clingy, seizing every opportunity to snuggle into Li Fan¡¯s arms. ¡°Seeing as you¡¯re all white, how about I call you Xiao Bai? Is that alright?¡± As Li Fan cooked the cat food, he stroked the cat and asked with a smile. Meow¡ Xiao Bai¡ not a very nice name. Bai Xiaoqing blinked her lively big eyes but responded with meows nheless. Hmph, Bai Xiaoqing is not just afraid of you because you have a high cultivation level. I, I¡¯m only considering the cat food¡ These past few days, she had gradually discovered that this terrifying individual was actually quite easy to get along with. As long as she maintained the role of a cat, it seemed she could livefortably, and even those fierce creatures in the yard wouldn¡¯t attack her anymore¡ Plus, there was all sorts of delicious cat food to eat! She was practically in feline bliss! No¡ in tiger bliss. So, she had set her heart on being a good cat. Now, as she looked at the small pot of cat food Li Fan was cooking, she was nearly drooling. ¡°Look at you, so gluttonous. Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting fat?¡± Li Fanughed. Just then, there was a knock at the door apanied by a familiar voice: ¡°Is Senior Li home?¡± It¡¯s Mu Qianning¡ ¡°Come in, the door is not locked.¡± Li Fan spoke. The door opened, and Mu Qianning, Yu Qishui, and others walked in. Li Fan looked up and saw that this time, there was an unfamiliar young girl among them! Another beauty? And her looks are not inferior to Mu Qianning¡¯s! My little courtyard really is blessed! But why does this beauty have tears in her eyes¡ Does she have some matter to ask of me? Li Fan pondered, extending his hand and saying, ¡°Please have a seat. After I feed the cat, I¡¯ll attend to you all.¡± Yu Qishui and the others respectfully took their seats by the stone table under the peach tree, and at the same time, they couldn¡¯t help but look towards Li Fan¡¯s cat. ¡°Senior Li really knows how to enjoy life. How blissful to raise a cat when you have free time¡¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s beautiful eyes showed admiration. ¡°Don¡¯t¡ don¡¯t talk nonsense¡¡± Yu Qishui, however, started speaking with a slight tremble, ¡°That¡¯s not a cat, that¡¯s a tiger¡ and it seems to be a white tiger at that!¡± Hearing this, everyone was shocked, looking at Bai Xiaoqing incredulously. Her whole body was snow-white, without a single blemish. Moreover, there was an aura of excellence subtly emanating from her, her presence extraordinarily exceptional! Chapter 14 - 14 An Immortal?_1 Chapter 14 An Immortal?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Senior Li¡¯s pet is not a cat, but a tiger? A white tiger? ¡°Indeed, this is a white tiger, and moreover, its bloodline is very pure¡ extremely rare throughout the Xuantian Realm!¡± Fire Spirit spoke with certainty, although she dared not use the Bright Fire Eyes, her vision was still extraordinary. ¡°¡Additionally, the thing that this senior uses to start a fire¡ seems to be¡ Xuanhuo Wood.¡± Her expression was incrediblyplex. Xuanhuo Wood, even within the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, was an exceedingly precious resource! Xuanhuo Wood itself is an excellent material for weapon refining, and the mes it creates are coveted by fire-attribute cultivators. But here, this senior, was actually just using it to cook food for his pet¡ What kind of existence is this¡ Thinking this, she quickly blinked her eyes a few times, her tears flowing plentifully, as the aftereffects of rashly observing this senior¡¯s courtyard were too strong. She simply didn¡¯t know when she would stop crying. Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. To keep a white tiger with a rare bloodline as a cat? To use Xuanhuo Wood for cooking pet food? In this world, only Senior Li could do such a thing, right? However, right after that, Yu Qishui felt somewhat relieved. He knew that not a single creature in Senior Li¡¯s small yard was mundane¡ Li Fan didn¡¯t pay attention to the others and indifferently snuffed the fire, cing a bowl of cooked cat food to cool on the side. Carrot stewed with meat, the meat hunted from the mountains, the carrots grown by himself¡ Li Fan was quite satisfied. ¡°It¡¯s a bit hot, let it cool before eating.¡± Li Fan held the cat in one hand and used the other to hold the bowl, blowing on it until the food was tepid, then letting Xiao Bai start eating. Bai Xiaoqing couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and immediately dug in gleefully! Wow, how delicious is this, what sort of heavenly food is this¡ Watching Xiao Bai eat with relish, he smiled and then stood up to look at the visitors. Why is that beauty still weeping¡ Last time, Mu Qianning and the others came looking for precious stones, and he had refused them. Now they were here again, could it be another simr request? Yu Qishui had already stood up, his face showing a bit of embarrassment and nervousness, saying, ¡°Senior Li, this is Miss Fire Spirit. She hase to visit Senior Li to convey a message¡¡± A message? Li Fan felt a twinge of annoyance; he really didn¡¯t want to be too involved with these cultivators. Moreover, it seemed these people had a special fondness for gems. The message they wanted to convey was probably rted to such things. Were these cultivators too worldly? He shook his head, saying, ¡°No need to speak.¡± No need to speak? The group was taken aback. ¡°All is but illusion.¡± Li Fan said, ¡°If one is deluded by things of emptiness, one will fall into it and lose oneself. Only by seeing through the illusory reflections can one truly attain freedom.¡± This was his piece of advice. Having cultivated in mind and body in the small mountain vige for many years, he truly had little interest in these external objects. Taking care of his cat and painting every day was already a rare serenity. But upon hearing this, Yu Qishui and the others showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on their faces! ¡°I understand now, Senior Li must have known about the Evil God¡¯s impending arrival!¡± ¡°Even the arrival of the Evil God is seen as mere illusion by Senior Li, not worth noting at all!¡± ¡°Could it be that Senior Li¡¯s game, even the Evil God is not qualified to y?¡± They were all stunned. Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Not even the Evil God was worthy of his concern? Could it be¡ the person before them had touched the Immortal Path? If it had been before, she would never have believed it! But now, she was utterly subdued. Could it be that what they were facing was actually an Immortal? That would be too terrifying. Impossible! She forced herself to believe. In the Xuantian Realm, the closest to having be an Immortal was the Bei Chen Supreme, a thousand years ago! The people who became Immortals after that had almost all ascended. Who would stay in the Xuantian Realm? Impossible! At this moment, seeing Fire Spirit still teary, Li Fan felt a pang ofpassion and took out a handkerchief, handing it to her, saying, ¡°Wipe your tears.¡± Fire Spirit paused for a moment. She looked at Li Fan, and for an instant her eyes met his. She distinctly felt that the gaze of the Senior before her was as vast as the ocean yet gentle, as deep as the starry sky yet kind¡ But she hastily lowered her head, epted Li Fan¡¯s handkerchief, and said, ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± She gently wiped her eyes. Hmm? The next moment, she was utterly stunned. In that instant, the after-effects from peering into Li Fan¡¯s courtyard with her eyes had vanished. Moreover, her pupils felt a sense of warmth at that moment. Utterlyfortable! At the bottom of her eyes, the two originally faint red mes suddenly grew stronger and even turned orange! ¡°From Bright Fire Eyes to Profound Fire Eyes¡¡± ¡°Just in that split second?¡± She waspletely shocked. Keep in mind, this Eye Technique, was a closely guarded secret of the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, extremely extraordinary but also extremely difficult to cultivate. Even her own father, who controlled the entire Fire Country, had only cultivated to the stage of Profound Fire Eyes! But in just that moment, she hadpleted a leap forward¡ and was at the peak of Profound Fire Eyes? She subconsciously nced at the handkerchief in her hand. Heaven, what kind of treasure was this? Was this Senior too incredible? Such a treasure, in his hands, was merely used as a handkerchief? If her father knew about this, he would probably be willing to exchange the entire Fire Nation for it! But then again, to such a Senior, the Fire Nation was probably nothing more than a clump of grass by the roadside, right? She stood up, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°Thank you very much, Senior!¡± At the same time, she held the handkerchief with both hands and respectfully offered it back to Li Fan. Li Fan casually took it back, saying, ¡°There is no need for thanks.¡± In that moment, Fire Spirit¡¯s heart was seized by a bold idea. If she could follow by the side of such a Senior, what an incredible opportunity that would be? In this life, reaching Mahayana was definitely within reach, even exploring the Nascent Soul Realm wasn¡¯t impossible¡ Remembering the great enmity of her mother, thinking of the enemy who was still rampant in her n¡ hatred surged in her heart! For revenge, for her own future! She mustered her courage, clenched her teeth and asked, ¡°Senior Li¡ Ling¡¯er would like to ask to be your disciple. Is¡ is that possible?¡± She was extremely nervous and anxious. Yu Qishui and the others were somewhat stunned. The Princess of Huo Country, asking to be a disciple directly? But then again, it seemed normal, what was the Fire Country in the face of an existence like Senior Li? Li Fan¡¯s brows slightly furrowed. Take as a disciple? This girl didn¡¯t know when to give up. Saying she wanted to be a disciple, wasn¡¯t she just looking to follow him so he could find gems for her? ¡°What you want, I cannot give,¡± he said. ¡°Please leave.¡± Li Fan dismissed her! Fire Spirit¡¯s face suddenly changed! Everyone¡¯s face changed! They all detected the anger in Li Fan¡¯s words! Chapter 15 - 15 The Arrival of the Strong_1 Chapter 15 The Arrival of the Strong_1 Trantor: 549690339 Li Fan personally issued a dismissal order. To everyone including Yu Qishui, their faces trembled with shock. Fire Spirit¡¯s expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, ¡°Fire Spirit was wrong!¡± ¡°Please, Senior, forgive me!¡± She knelt on the ground! Cold sweat streamed down. To anger an Immortal, what a sin it was! Even Yu Qishui and the others knelt down and paid their respects, saying, ¡°Senior, we were wrong, we should not have brought her here!¡± His heart raced with urgency; who would have thought that Fire Spirit could be so disrespectful! How dare she be so brash in front of Senior Li? Wasn¡¯t this courting death? Seeing everyone¡¯s strong reaction, Li Fan felt somewhat embarrassed. ¡°Enough, there¡¯s no need for such formality.¡± He shook his head. ¡°We will leave immediately and not disturb Senior Li¡¯s meditation!¡± Yu Qishui quickly stood up and spoke, understanding that the best option right now was to disappear immediately. The group hurriedly left. As if sensing Li Fan¡¯s anger, the small white cat that was enjoying its meal stopped and turned back to look at him. ¡°Are you full?¡± Li Fan smiled slightly, gently stroked the small white cat¡¯s head, and then, using a handkerchief, wiped its mouth. Casually, he tossed the remaining half-bowl of food into the trash can. ¡°Meow meow¡¡± Bai Xiaoqing stared at the trash can, herrge eyes filled with reluctance, Meow, this kitty hasn¡¯t eaten its fill, okay!! ¡ After they left the small courtyard. ¡°Princess, you were truly impulsive!¡± Yu Qishui couldn¡¯t help but speak up. Now, having displeased Senior Li, was truly a grave mistake. Fire Spirit¡¯s face was also full of disappointment. She looked back and her eyes were filled with endless yearning, yet she let out a wryugh and said, ¡°Fire Spirit was just dreaming¡¡± How could such an opportunity be so easily obtained? To elevate the Bright Fire Eyes to the Profound Fire Eyes was already a monumental gift. She was indeed too greedy! She thought, ashamed. Mu Qianning saw this and couldn¡¯t bear it,forting her, ¡°Princess, Senior Li is actually a very kind person, everything is about fate, maybe it¡¯s just not the right time yet.¡± Fire Spirit said, ¡°Thank you, Qianning.¡± At this moment, she suddenly felt envious of Mu Qianning. At least, Mu Qianning had the opportunity to visit Senior Li often, right? ¡ After leaving the mountain vige, the group boarded the Yu Kong Flying Ship and returned to the Lihuo Sect. ¡°Now it seems that Senior Li had foreseen theing of the Evil God, and moreover, he very likely was waiting for the Evil God all along!¡± Fire Spirit spoke up. Yu Qishui and others all nodded. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s something I haven¡¯t told everyone; the reason why the Evil God chose to descend in the Southern Fire Country is because an extremely important Secret Realm is about to emerge within the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± Now, Fire Spirit no longer kept any secrets, saying, ¡°That Secret Realm is very likely to be connected to the mysteries of the Immortal Path. By then, I¡¯m afraid the likes of Supremes, Evil Gods and others will take great interest.¡± Upon hearing this, Yu Qishui and the others were even more shocked. ¡°No wonder¡ the small vige where Senior Li resides is exactly at the entrance of the Cangli Mountain Range. All of this is within Senior Li¡¯s control!¡± Wei Yushan eximed. ¡°This is a great opportunity, a Secret Realm that even the Supreme Evil God values. There must be an abundance of chances inside.¡± ¡°You all can make preparations to take part when the timees. You¡¯re bound to gain a lot.¡± Fire Spirit advised. If it wasn¡¯t for the Lihuo Sect, she would not have met Li Fan, and the Profound Fire Eyes would not have been cultivated. Therefore, she also held a sense of gratitude towards the Lihuo Sect. ¡°Indeed, since all of this is within Senior Li¡¯s control, then our Lihuo Sect should give it our all!¡± Yu Qishui spoke up! ¡ Meanwhile. The events happening in the Southern Fire Country continued to ferment! A beast tide urred in the Cangli Mountain Range, drawing the attention of many. ¡°There must be a treasure emerging within the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± ¡°Legend has it that within the Cangli Mountain Range, countless secret realms are hidden¡¡± ¡°Numerous Supremes once ventured into these realms, all in search of the mysteries of the Immortal Path¡¡± So the world buzzed with rumors. From countless major sects, Yu Kong Flying Ships soared out one after another! Clearly, this was an opportunity not to be missed. Everyone was going to join thispetition! Even the news reached beyond the Fire Country, with many powerful forces outside heading towards the Southern Territory of the Fire Nation! ¡ Somece in the sky. A massive Yu Kong Flying Ship was swiftly advancing towards the south. On the flying ship, arge g embroidered with a red lotus fluttered in the wind. The Royal Family of the Fire Nation! Eight elders stood guard behind a man and a woman on the ship. The woman had a distinguished air about her, and the man had an extraordinary martial presence. ¡°Big brother, our younger sister has already arrived in the south, aren¡¯t you afraid she¡¯lle across some fortuitous encounter?¡± The woman spoke with a smile in her eyes; within them, a hint of teasing could be discerned. She was none other than Empress Xuan, the Second Princess of the Fire Nation. And the man was none other than Huo Mingxuan, the legitimate eldest son of the current Fire Nation. Upon hearing this, Huo Mingxuan said coldly, ¡°The secret realm that has emerged this time could very well be the site of a Supreme of the Fire Dao from a past generation. Besides me, no one else is qualified to approach it!¡± He was utterly confident! The flying ship pressed on at high speed. ¡°Hm? What¡¯s that over there? Divine radiance filling the sky?¡± Suddenly, ahead in the sky, a long streak of rosy light appeared. Above the light, there seemed to be a Divine Dragon soaring! ¡°The Divine Dragon Boat of the Dragon Profound Sect!¡± Empress Xuan eximed with surprise. The Dragon Profound Sect was a Supreme Level power in the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm! Its sect was founded by the Dragon Profound Supreme a thousand years ago, and to this day, it still has experts of the Body Integration Realm at its helm, its power far exceeding that of Transcendent Powers. As they drew nearer, they saw clearly that the vessel speeding like a streak of light was, in fact, a mystical conveyance, exuding an extraordinary might. The people on the Divine Dragon Boat also seemed to notice them, and as they drew closer, the Boat slowed to a halt. ¡°May I ask if you are friends from the Fire Nation?¡± An elder appeared on the prow of the Divine Dragon Boat and asked. Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan, both not daring to upstage their hosts, immediately approached and said, ¡°Huo Mingxuan and the Second Princess, Empress Xuan, of the Fire Nation are here. Greetings to the senior of the Dragon Profound Sect!¡± Huo Mingxuan said aloud. ¡°May I invite you aboard for a conversation?¡± The elder of the Dragon Profound Sect asked. Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan nced at each other. They then stepped off the Yu Kong Flying Ship and leaped onto the opposite Divine Dragon Boat. Upon entering the Divine Dragon Boat, their eyes beheld eight elders, nking a woman on both sides. The woman was sitting on the deck of the Divine Dragon Boat with a veil over her face, dressed in a white gown that highlighted her graceful figure; however, her entire demeanor was quite cold. In her hands, she held a Jade Sword. ¡°This is our Dragon Profound Sect¡¯s Saintess, Long Ziying,¡± said the elder who had called the two onto the boat. At this, Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan were both visibly shaken! The Saintess of the Dragon Profound Sect! She was definitely a genuine personage of exceptional talent! Huo Mingxuan¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. With such a figure willing to be acquainted, how could he worry about ascending the throne of the Fire Nation? ¡°Crown Prince Huo Mingxuan of the Fire Nation, at your service, Saintess Ziying!¡± He immediately spoke up, a passionate gleam in his eyes. However, Long Ziying simply said indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s no need for such courtesy.¡± ¡°You two must be heading to the Cangli Mountain Range, right?¡± Huo Mingxuan replied, ¡°Indeed.¡± Long Ziying nodded and continued, ¡°The reason I asked you aboard is that I wish to discuss a potential coboration with you two.¡± Coboration! Both were overjoyed; the Saintess of a Supreme Level power was proposing to work with them? This was an opportunity too good to miss! ¡°Pleasemand us, Saintess. We, the siblings of the Fire Nation, will oblige without hesitation should you need our assistance!¡± Huo Mingxuan promptly stated. Long Ziying, however, nced at them and asked, ¡°I wonder to what Realm your eyes have been cultivated? Have they reached the Profound Fire Eyes?¡± At once, the expressions of Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan darkened. Chapter 16 - Not enough ratings Not enough ratings 286 Chs ADD Chapter 16 The Person Who Dares to Underestimate Senior Li_1 Trantor: 549690339 Facing the question from Long Ziying, both Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei felt somewhat embarrassed. Huo Xuanfei said, ¡°To report to the Dragon Virgin, within our Fire Country, the only person who has cultivated the Profound Fire Eyes is the Fire Emperor.¡± ¡°We have barely managed to cultivate the Bright Fire Eyes.¡± The cultivation of the Profound Fire Eyes is too difficult. Aside from needing exceptionalprehension and aptitude, it also requires a lot of fire-attributed treasures to assist. Such as Xuanhuo Wood and the like, they are extremely rare, nearly impossible for an entire country to find. Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, also considered geniuses in their n, could only manage to cultivate the Bright Fire Eyes. ¡°I suppose it is so, after all, the secret technique of a Supreme Monarch is not easy to cultivate.¡± Long Ziying nodded, but there was a hint of disappointment in her beautiful eyes. ¡°Ultimately the Bright Fire Eyes are much weaker, if only they could be stronger, that would be ideal¡¡± She murmured to herself. Huo Mingxuan asked, ¡°May I inquire, Venerable, does the Secret Realm this time have any connection with the Eye Technique of our Fire Country?¡± Long Ziying nodded and said, ¡°Without wanting to disappoint the two of you, we have already ascertained that the opening of this Secret Realm is very likely rted to the Supreme Monarch Lihuo, who once dominated the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm without meeting any rival!¡± Supreme Monarch Lihuo! Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei were both greatly astonished! This was actually a Supreme Monarch¡¯s Secret Realm?? No wonder, no wonder this time even a force like the Dragon Profound Sect was rmed. ¡°I understand now. Our Eye Technique of the Fire Country, ording to legend, was handed down by the Supreme Monarch Lihuo. One of our n elders once followed beside the Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡¡± Huo Mingxuan revealed a grave secret. Cultivating the Eye Technique of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo would definitely provide numerous conveniences within the Secret Realm. This was the reason Long Ziying extended an olive branch. Otherwise, why would the Dragon Virgin of the mighty Dragon Profound Sect take any interest in them? Lifting his head, he said, ¡°Please rest assured, Venerable. Although we possess only the Bright Fire Eyes, our n has an item that can greatly enhance our Eye Technique!¡± ¡°Temporarily reaching the realm of the Profound Fire Eyes is not impossible.¡± ¡°Where is that item now?¡± Long Ziying asked. Huo Mingxuan revealed a slight smile and said, ¡°It¡¯s with my Third Sister!¡± ¡°And she is currently at the Lihuo Sect!¡± Long Ziying also revealed a smile, saying, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, how about the two of you apany me to the Secret Realm this time? There are some areas where I need to rely on your Bright Fire Eyes, and in turn, I can bring many benefits to both of you.¡± Upon hearing this, both of them were overjoyed! To be able to forge a connection with the Venerable of a Supreme Level force was more than they could ask for! ¡°We will certainly do our utmost!¡± Huo Mingxuan spoke eagerly! ¡°Now, let¡¯s go retrieve the item from the Lihuo Sect first!¡± ¡ The Divine Dragon Boat was incredibly fast. In no time at all, they had already appeared on the outskirts of the Lihuo Sect. ¡°Dragon Profound Sect¡¯s Dragon Virgin Long Ziying, Fire Country¡¯s Huo Mingxuan, Huo Xuanfei, have arrived at the Lihuo Sect!¡± A thundering voice shook the wilderness! Within the Lihuo Sect, everyone was shocked. ¡°Dragon Profound Sect¡ What has brought such a top-tier sect here?¡± Yu Qishui and others were surprised! ¡°Dragon Profound Sect¡ It seems this Secret Realm is of a higher level than I had imagined!¡± Fire Spirit was solemn, and thinking of the two who apanied Long Ziying, her expression darkened! ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s take a look outside. Whatever the force, I believe it must all be within Senior Li¡¯s calctions!¡± The crowd then made their way outside. The Divine Dragon Boat had already stopped at the gate of the sect. Long Ziying, along with Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, had already disembarked. ¡°Nascent Soul Fifth Stage? Truly worthy of being the Dragon Virgin of the Dragon Profound Sect!¡± Yu Qishui took one nce and was deeply shocked! This Long Ziying, she appeared to be only about twenty years old, right? Is this the depth of a Supreme Level force? ¡°Lihuo Sect¡¯s Sect Master Wei Yushan, greets the Dragon Virgin, and extends his respects to the Great Prince and the Second Princess!¡± Wei Yushan gave a slight bow to the group. Long Ziying, however, looked indifferently at Fire Spirit and asked, ¡°Is this the Third Princess of the Fire Country?¡± She had noticed Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes. For some reason, she felt somewhat dazzled when facing Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes. It was as though there were two vigorous mes! Much stronger than Huo Mingxuan and the others. Was it because of that treasure? She suddenly felt more at ease; it seemed the item was indeed useful! ¡°Indeed.¡± Fire Spirit nodded. Huo Mingxuan stepped forward, sneering, ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m not going to waste words with you, hand over the Xuanhuo Ring!¡± Haughty and domineering! Fire Spirit¡¯s face darkened as she said, ¡°This is an heirloom from our mother; you have no right to demand it from me!¡± ¡°Your mother?¡± Empress Xuan stepped forward with a coldugh, ¡°Isn¡¯t your mother a citizen of the Fire Nation? After her death, this thing should belong to our entire Royal Family of the Fire Nation!¡± ¡°On what grounds do you im it for yourself?¡± In Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes, an even stronger wave of anger shot out, ¡°My mother fought to protect the Fire Emperor and fell victim to an assassination plotted by your mother, and yet you have the nerve to ask for it?¡± Her heart was filled with hatred! ¡ªTen years ago, the Wind Nationunched a surprise attack on the Fire Emperor who was breaking through to the Mahayana Realm. At that time, Fire Spirit¡¯s mother, a concubine of the royal family, burned her life to save the Fire Emperor. Just as she finally managed to hold on until the Fire Emperor¡¯s breakthrough and the retreat of the enemies, she was ambushed by someone sent by the Empress of the Fire Nation¡ªmother to Huo Mingxuan and Empress Xuan¡ªand had herst vestige of life snuffed out. In the face of all this, the Fire Emperor only killed the assant and gave Fire Spirit¡¯s mother avish burial, without pursuing the real mastermind¡ For so many years, she had never forgotten such a great hatred! Hatred had always been her driving force. Huo Mingxuan immediately became displeased, ¡°The incident from that year is over. By bringing up the past, are you expressing dissatisfaction with the Father Emperor?¡± ¡°Now, I am working for the well-being of the Royal Family of the Fire Nation, whether you like it or not, you gotta hand it over!¡± Aggressively imposing! Fire Spirit bit her lower lip hard, her fists clenched tightly, almost embedding into her flesh! ¡°We¡¯re only borrowing it for a moment, please be generous, Miss.¡± At this moment, Long Ziying also spoke indifferently. A subtle presence began to emanate from her. Opression! Fire Spirit¡¯s heartpletely sank. Can¡¯t she even keep her mother¡¯s memento? ¡°You are going too far. If Sister Ling¡¯er is unwilling, are you nning to rob her?¡± At this point, Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t help but speak out. ¡°How dare you speak out in the presence of our Sect¡¯s Saintess, you insignificant ant?¡± Behind Long Ziying, an old man¡¯s face darkened as a breath of air burst forth! ¡°Be careful, Qianning!¡± Yu Qishui¡¯s face changed, he stepped forward to shield Mu Qianning, but the terrifying aura made him spit out a mouthful of blood! Hollow Void! This was an attack from the Hollow Void Realm! ¡°Master Ancestor!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s face changed drastically, and she quickly helped Yu Qishui. ¡°You all!¡± Wei Yushan¡¯s eyes also filled with rage, clenching his fists! This was too much bullying! ¡°Did I tell you to attack?¡± Long Ziying frowned. The old man¡¯s face changed slightly and said, ¡°Sorry, Saintess, I only intended to administer a small punishment.¡± Long Ziying said, ¡°Fine.¡± ¡°Do you really think you are the strongest just because you¡¯re so brazen?!¡± Wei Yushan spoke angrily. Long Ziying, however, responded indifferently, ¡°I am aware that you have backers, but what of it? Sorry, the so-called strong ones backing you all up, we at the Dragon Profound Sect, truly do not care.¡± ¡°The powerhouses in your eyes, to us, are merely ants.¡± This was an innate sense of superiority! Born into a Supreme level force, what kind of powerhouses had she note into contact with? They had long since investigated, behind the Lihuo Sect there were people, but at most a Venerable from the Body Integration Realm, but so what? Not worth mentioning! Wei Yushan was practically about tough in anger. In this world, there could still be people who dare show such disdain for Senior Li? If he wasn¡¯t worried about revealing the existence of Senior Li which might rm others and spoil Senior Li¡¯s grand scheme, he truly wished to reveal the truth and see if these people still had the audacity to be so arrogant! At that moment, Fire Spirit¡¯s face also turned pale. Shepletely understood that the situation was beyond her control. Behind Huo Mingxuan and the rest was now the Dragon Profound Sect. ¡°Either hand it over or prepare for you and the Lihuo Sect, these insignificant ants, to perish together!¡± Huo Mingxuan spoke very directly, his face wearing a cruel smile! Fire Spirit fell silent, silent, until she finally extended her hand. A fiery red ring appeared in her hand. ¡°Heh, if you had handed it over earlier, wouldn¡¯t things have been easier?¡± Empress Xuan went forward with a coldugh and snatched the Xuanhuo Ring. The hate-filled gaze from Fire Spirit suddenly made her feel somewhat ufortable. She then added another phrase: ¡°Don¡¯t look so full of hatred. My mother killed your mother, so what can you do about it?¡± ¡°A lowly bastard born of a concubine, do you really regard yourself as a princess?¡± After speaking, she turned to look at Long Ziying with a smile, ¡°Saintess, we have obtained the item.¡± Long Ziying, with her aloof character, spoke indifferently, ¡°Good, let¡¯s go.¡± The group then stepped onto the Divine Dragon Boat and flew away directly! Chapter 17 - 17 Bestowing One Painting_1 Chapter 17 Bestowing One Painting_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°How intolerable the deception has be!¡± Despite their departure, Wei Yushan¡¯s face was still filled with rage. They had resorted to violence and injured someone without any prior quarrel. s, the Lihuo Sect could only bear it, unable to retaliate. This, perhaps, is the cruel and merciless nature of the cultivation world. The strong are the only ones entitled to justice and fairness. ¡°Master, are you alright?¡± Mu Qianning asked Yu Qishui with concern. ¡°It¡¯s fine, the opponent didn¡¯t use their full strength. With two or three days of recovery, I should naturally heal.¡± Yu Qishui shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s just that Supreme Level factions have arrived¡ªit seems that the waters here are truly bing murkier¡¡± ¡°Master, Teacher, I wish to pay a visit to Senior Li.¡± Mu Qianning suddenly spoke up, biting her lower lip tightly. Yu Qishui pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°It wouldn¡¯t hurt to go and see. If Senior Li has any instructions, we can follow through¡¡± Mu Qianning nodded, then turned towards Fire Spirit and said, ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er,e with me.¡± Fire Spirit hesitated and said, ¡°Senior Li doesn¡¯t like me¡¡± But Mu Qianning pulled her along insistently and said, ¡°What kind of a great man is Senior Li? He won¡¯t mind.¡± After speaking, the two of them made their way toward the small mountain vige. ¡°Sister, do you have any burdens weighing on your heart?¡± On the way, Mu Qianning asked. She had gleaned some insight from the conversation between Fire Spirit and Huo Mingxuan and the others. Hearing this, Fire Spirit sighed deeply. Mu Qianning had just spoken righteously on her behalf, shortening the distance between them, and now without hiding anything, Fire Spirit said, ¡°My mother, she was harmed by Huo Mingxuan¡¯s mother.¡± She recounted the events of that year. ¡°How detestable they are!¡± After listening, Mu Qianning also felt deep sympathy for Fire Spirit and was filled with anger towards Huo Mingxuan and the others. She had not expected that this high and mighty Third Princess of the Fire Country would have such a tragic background. ¡°It¡¯s just unfortunate that I can¡¯t even protect my mother¡¯s legacy now¡¡± Fire Spirit said with a wry smile. ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, I suddenly understand why Senior Li was unwilling to ept you as his disciplest time.¡± Mu Qianning suddenly spoke up. ¡°Why?¡± Fire Spirit was startled. ¡°Your inner demon is hatred, and for cultivators, hatred is a great taboo.¡± Mu Qianning spoke, ¡°Senior Li has long transcended worldly affairs, and perhaps he dislikes such things.¡± Fire Spirit fell silent for a long time. Even if she understood, what could she really do? Could she truly let go of her hatred? ¡ Before long, they finally arrived outside Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. Mu Qianning stepped forward to knock on the door, ¡°Is Senior Li there?¡± ¡°Come in,¡± came the voice from inside the courtyard. Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit finally walked in. Inside, Li Fan was tidying up his paintings. He was hanging up the ones he was more satisfied with. As Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit walked in, they were confronted with a row of paintings hanging on the wall! Series of sunsets! In that moment, it was as if they were surrounded by countless suns. The grandeur of the surging waves and the boldness of the setting sun was vividly disyed amidst thews of heaven and earth! ¡°No¡¡± Mu Qianning quickly lowered her head. Just one nce nearly made her faint away. The terror of that greatw was too formidable; she couldn¡¯t withstand it even with one look. Yet Fire Spirit, her aura thunderous! She felt the call of countless fragments of the Way as if some shackles in her mind shattered in that instant. ¡ª¡ªThe Way of the Great Sun shared some simrities with the fire method she was cultivating. At that moment, the light in her eyes intensified, turning a pale gold! ¡ª¡ªThis was the third stage, the Saint Fire Eyes! She was stunned,pletely taken aback. Had she, in that moment, achieved the Saint Fire Eyes?? In the legends, only the ancient founder of Fire Country had ever achieved this step! Heaven¡ Just how powerful was Senior Li¡ Such a casually given blessing, wasn¡¯t it too profound?! And at this moment, Li Fan finally hung thest painting as well. He turned around, satisfied, only to see Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit staring at him with admiration, and he felt a bit proud in his heart. He was quite confident in his mastery of the Art of Painting. ¡°How about it, do these paintings catch your eye?¡± He said with a smile. ¡°Senior¡¯s paintings¡ are unparalleled in ages past! Impossible to find in the entire world!¡± Fire Spirit spoke sincerely. ¡°Overpraised,¡± Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°What brings you here this time?¡± Mu Qianning stepped forward and said, ¡°Senior, I havee this time because I wish to visit the Cangli Mountain Range, and I¡¯d like to hear some advice from you.¡± The Cangli Mountain Range? What for? Searching for gems? Truly, not giving up until you¡¯re at the end of your rope. ¡°If you want to go, then go,¡± Li Fan remarked, as he couldn¡¯t stop her anyway. Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning was immediately overjoyed. Since Senior Li had said so, she waspletely reassured! ¡°Senior¡ also, I am here to apologize on behalf of Sister Ling¡¯er. She was too impulsivest time, but she had her reasons. After all, Sister Ling¡¯er¡¯s mother was harmed by others, and she cannot seek revenge. Those people are still bullying her now¡¡± ¡°I know Senior holds no fondness for Sister Ling¡¯er due to her resentment, but I hope you can forgive her previous rashness.¡± Mu Qianning spoke. Hearing this, Fire Spirit was filled with deep gratitude towards Mu Qianning. She understood that Mu Qianning speaking on her behalf involved the risk of displeasing Senior Li. Li Fan too was somewhat surprised at this. Who would have thought that such a stunning beauty like Fire Spirit would have such a pitiful background? Mother killed, unable to avenge, and still being bullied¡ No wonder she had tears in her eyes the first time she met him. Li Fan heaved a deep sigh, but he was helpless. After all, he couldn¡¯t meddle in the affairs of the Cultivation World. What could he, a mere mortal, possibly do? But then, he thought of something, turned around, and picked up his brush to create! Each stroke and line carried the essence of the Way. Ink dropped on paper, and the Great Way thundered! Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were both spellbound! So carefree, so spontaneous; a natural fusion, one with the Way. Every gesture Li Fan made was a manifestation of the Way! ¡ Soon after, Li Fan finally stopped writing. Turning around, he looked at Fire Spirit and said, ¡°Well, I can¡¯t offer much help, but since your surname is Fire, I¡¯ll give you a painting rted to fire.¡± He said this as he handed the paper to Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit was immediately dumbfounded at his words. To give, to give her a painting? Senior Li¡ was actually bestowing such a gift? She was still stunned when Mu Qianning quickly reminded her, ¡°Sister, take it quickly.¡± Only then did Fire Spirite forward excitedly and epted it with both hands respectfully. ¡°If you find yourself in trouble, you might take a look at this painting; it may be of some help to you.¡± Li Fan stated. He had some confidence in his own painting; after all, art at a certain level could soothe the emotions and refine one¡¯s sensibility. However, he didn¡¯t know how much it would help Fire Spirit. Hopefully, it would cheer her up, if even a little bit. ¡°Many thanks, Senior, many thanks, Senior!¡± Fire Spirit was teary with gratitude! Li Fan shook his head and said, ¡°No need for thanks.¡± The two then took their leave. Li Fan turned around and picked up the little white cat that was lying limp on a painting. ¡°Look at you, youmon cat, using the painting as a bed¡¡± Heughed. ¡°Meow, meow¡¡± Bai Xiaoqing cried a few times but felt utterly helpless inside. Is it what I wanted? Do you not understand how terrible the mental shock of looking inside that painting is? I couldn¡¯t stand it upon looking¡ Living by Li Fan¡¯s side, getting to see his paintings every day, and receiving the baptism of countless Ways, brought both joy and pain to Bai Xiaoqing! ¡ After leaving Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Qian Ning, thank you!¡± Fire Spirit held the painting tightly in her hands, expressing her profound gratitude to Mu Qianning! Mu Qianning just smiled and said, ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, you don¡¯t need to thank me, everything was bestowed by Senior Li.¡± She sincerely echoed, ¡°Indeed, Senior Li¡¯s great kindness and virtue.¡± ¡°Sister, aren¡¯t you going to unwrap the painting to take a look?¡± Mu Qianning asked. Fire Spirit shook her head and said, ¡°Qian Ning, I can¡¯t look at it now.¡± ¡°Have you forgotten? Senior said it can only be opened ¡®when in difficulty,¡¯ which means, Senior Li has foreseen that there will be danger on this journey to the Secret Realm!¡± ¡°That¡¯s when the power of Senior Li¡¯s painting will reveal itself!¡± She was brimming with confidence! Returning from the small mountain vige to the Lihuo Sect, Mu Qianning reported to Yu Qishui and others. Upon hearing that Senior Li had agreed to their journey, they were all delighted. With Senior Li¡¯s backing, what was there to worry about? Consequently, Yu Qishui and the others, together with Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, headed towards the Secret Realm within the Cangli Mountain Range! Storm clouds gathered! Chapter 18 - 18 Supreme Secret Realm_1 Chapter 18 Supreme Secret Realm_1 Trantor: 549690339 Deep within the Cangli Mountain Range. One after another, mountain peaks had copsed, unaware of the force that impacted them, leaving thend strewn with ruins and rubble. The air was thick with a scorching heat, and even cultivators who arrived here would feel their breath be erratic! ¡°It seems, it¡¯s very likely to be the Secret Realm of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo!¡± ¡°In years past, the Supreme Monarch Lihuo pursued the path to immortality, venturing into the depths of thisnd, but ultimately never emerged¡¡± ¡°His legacy not only possibly contains things of the Supreme Level, but there may also be some secrets about immortality!¡± In the sky, innumerable Yu Kong Flying Ships had already converged. By the time the people of Lihuo Sect and Fire Spirit arrived here, they also felt an overwhelming sense of vastness wash over them. ¡°It should indeed be the training ground of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡ The spiritual power inside me has be more active.¡± Fire Spirit spoke in a low voice. Yu Qishui, on the other hand, was looking at the various Yu Kong treasures around him with an exceptionally solemn look in his aged eyes. ¡°Three Sun-Level Powers from the Fire Country havee!¡± ¡°And that flying ship, is it actually from the Wind Nation Royal Family? They¡¯ve gotten involved!¡± ¡°¡What power is that, which can stand alongside Dragon Profound Sect?¡± One major power after another! And the most eye-catching were naturally the two factions in the forefront, located in the highest part of the sky. One side was none other than the Dragon Profound Sect, which had thrown its weight around at Lihuo Sect a few days ago, making off with the Xuanhuo Ring! The other group was aboard a treasure that resembled a Fairy Ship, with white drapes fluttering. On both sides of the Fairy Ship stood two graceful and beautiful maids, cradling lutes. From within the Fairy Ship, the asional plucking of strings resonated, seemingly bringing an unexpected calm to one¡¯s heart. Fire Spirit nced over and with a deepplexity in her eyes, said, ¡°That is the Immortal Melody Pavilion, one of the three Supreme forces of the Xuantian Realm!¡± Immortal Melody Pavilion! Everyone¡¯s expression became grave. This opening of the Secret Realm had attracted two Supreme Level powers. Truly formidable. Upon the Fairy Ship at this moment, a girl in a white dress with a veil covering her face satposedly, her eyes clear and limpid like autumn waters, her entire being exuding a celestial charm. Her lute gently vibrated from time to time, shielding those on the Fairy Ship from the effects of this ce. Standing by her side was a young man in purple, who gazed at the girl in white with an undisguised fervor in his eyes. ¡°Saintess, it is said that Long Ziying from Dragon Profound Sect brought two legitimate sessors from Fire Country to his side. This ce being the burial site of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo, they might gain the upper hand¡¡± A maid spoke. Yet the girl in the white dress said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s of no concern.¡± ¡°If we can take things of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo, then we take some; if not, it¡¯s also fine.¡± The young man in purple smiled and said, ¡°What Saintess Qing Luo said is true. The opening of this Secret Realm isn¡¯t as simple as just about Supreme Monarch Lihuo.¡± ¡°However, we at Taiyan Holy Land have long been aware, and everything is under our control. This time, wee merely to verify!¡± Saintess Qing Luo from the Immortal Melody Pavilion also nodded slightly. On the other side, atop the Divine Dragon Boat. ¡°I feel this ce, truly is a blessednd for the two of us!¡± ¡°If we could cultivate here, one year would equate to ten years of cultivation outside!¡± Huo Mingxuan excitedly said, both he and Huo Xuanfei felt an anomaly stirring within them. ¡°After the Secret Realm opens, it will all depend on you two.¡± Long Ziying spoke indifferently. All eyes were fixed on the ruins in front of them. Now, the Secret Realm had not fully appeared yet. They still had to wait. ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡± The ground thundered, and suddenly beneath the ruins, a terrifying column of firelight shot straight into the sky! The momentum reached the clouds! Countless ruins were destroyed, and the powerful fire element force shrouded the entire area ahead. The Secret Realm appeared! And above the Secret Realm emerged strands of crimson vein-like patterns, with the Supreme aura flickering intermittently! Those patterns were of a Supreme Array! In the center of the Arrayy a crimson coffin! The coffin was as fiery as zing mes! ¡°Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡¯s coffin? Could this be¡ his final resting ce?¡± ¡°It must be, his body should be inside!¡± ¡°Supreme cultivation techniques, supreme artifacts¡ they must all be there!¡± Instantly, everyone was thrilled. Eyes zing! At the beginning, everyone also knew that this ce must be rted to the Supreme Monarch Lihuo. But who could have imagined that this ce was actually the burial ground of the Supreme Monarch Lihuo. This instantaneously elevated the entire Secret Realm by a level! ¡°We underestimated it¡ If we had known it was the Supreme¡¯s burial ground, we should have invited stronger ones toe!¡± Many people spoke up. ¡°The Secret Realm has opened, rely on your own abilities to break the formation and enter!¡± At this time, an ancient voice rang out. To enter, one would need to break through the Supreme Array! Immediately, people from all the major forces began to press forward. The ones who moved the fastest were Dragon Profound Sect and Immortal Melody Pavilion! Both forces were the first to choose paths to enter the Array. They came with array masters by their side, who could roughly sense which areas were easier to prate the Array. Soon after came the Transcendent Powers and Sun-Level Powers, etc. Most of the convenient paths were already upied. Only then did it be the turn of the Lihuo Sect and other Moon-Level forces. ¡°Princess¡ which way should we go?¡± Yu Qishui spoke up. They were clueless about this fire array. And at this moment, in Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes, two light golden mes lit up at the bottom of her eyes! In an instant, she could feel the veins of the Supreme Array be clear in her sight! ¡°Is this the power of the Saint Fire Eyes? Senior Li, did you anticipate that I would encounter this Supreme Array?¡± She murmured, and in that moment, she suddenly felt as if everything was within Senior Li¡¯s calctions! Boosted with confidence, she took a deep breath and said, ¡°Follow me!¡± At this moment, the other forces had already begun to break the formation. ¡°Young Master Ling Xian, please.¡± Immortal Melody Pavilion, Qing Luo looked towards the young man in purple! The purple-d young man, Ling Xian, took out an Array te with a smile, ¡°Saintess, rest assured, with my master¡¯s Array te, we can pass through unimpeded!¡± He stepped forward with the Array te. Qing Luo followed behind, ying her zither! Her zither music could protect the minds of the people around her! Under Ling Xian¡¯s Array te, they quickly bypassed a deadly checkpoint! Meanwhile, elsewhere. ¡°Elder Zhao, how does it feel?¡± Long Ziying spoke up, looking at an old man with white hair. Elder Zhao was Dragon Profound Sect¡¯s top array master. Elder Zhao said, ¡°The Qi of the Supreme has obscured divine senses, so I will need both of you young friends to guide the way!¡± He looked towards Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei! The prerequisite for breaking the Array was to see the Array clearly, and both of their eye techniques, because they originated from Supreme Monarch Lihuo, enabled them to observe the Array here without restriction. Both of them nodded, and Huo Xuanfei said, ¡°I¡¯ll go first!¡± She stepped forward, and in her eyes, two faint illusory mes appeared. Bright Fire Eyes! ¡°No good, it¡¯s too vague, just slightly clearer than the naked eye, still unable to grasp it!¡± Huo Xuanfei directly spoke up, shaking her head. ¡°Try this!¡± Huo Mingxuan handed the Xuanhuo Ring to Huo Xuanfei. Huo Xuanfei took a deep breath and put on the Xuanhuo Ring. Suddenly, the illusory and weak mes in her eyes solidified and brightened up! The scene before her eyes gradually became clear! ¡°Here, here, and here, are all ces with chaotic mes!¡± She began to guide the way! Then the old man immediately stepped forward, scattering many white jade pieces from his hands, and wherever the white jade reached, the mes went out! Many other forces also stepped forward. ¡°Ah¡ª¡ª¡± A harrowing scream rang out as a Cultivator from a Sect Gate triggered the Supreme Array and was instantly incinerated by mes! ¡°No!¡± Another Array breaker was scorched,pletely engulfed by mes. There were very few who had the qualifications to step forward to break the Supreme Array! Chapter 19 - 19 Formation Broken_1 Chapter 19 Formation Broken_1 Trantor: 549690339 Hundreds of people had already died after triggering the Array! The majority of them turned into ashes. Among them, there was even the entire force of a Sun-level Sect! This caused many people to begin feeling fear and to give up. ¡°Enough, having gathered all the forces of our Sect, we have only managed to break through one or two barriers in the end. It¡¯s meaningless. Let¡¯s give up earlier.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too difficult. An Array left by a Supreme Monarch can only be ovee by those who already possess equivalent strength; otherwise, it¡¯s as hard as reaching the heavens!¡± ¡°We might as well wait for those major powers to break through the Array. Maybe then, we can have a taste of the spoils!¡± Many Sects gave up, surrounding the perimeter as onlookers. The fastest at breaking through were Dragon Profound Sect and Immortal Melody Pavilion. ¡°As expected of Immortal Melody Pavilion, they have already broken through over a dozen barriers!¡± ¡°Dragon Profound Sect is also very impressive. Are those two from the royal lineage of Fire Country? They seem to possess Eye Techniques originating from the Supreme Monarch Lihuo!¡± Everyone was discussing animatedly. Now, both major Sects had attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°What? Which Sect is that? They¡¯ve continuously broken through three barriers!¡± At this time, some were also shocked as they looked in a particr direction. Many people turned their gaze that way. There, it was Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui, among others. The Array talents of Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui weren¡¯t high, but her Saint Fire Eyes were incredibly bizarre! Not a single detail of the Array escaped her observation. Thus, it was as if walking on level ground! ¡ ¡°We¡¯re nearing the final barrier!¡± At Immortal Melody Pavilion, Ling Xian was now sweating profusely! Even with the constant sound of the qin music behind him, he struggled to suppress the agitation in his heart. Thest barrier, emanating orange mes, appeared like an insurmountable wall of fire! The Array te in Ling Xian¡¯s hands was nearly cracked! ¡°Thest barrier!¡± Ling Xian roared in anger, pouring all his Spiritual Power into the Array te! Green light radiated from the Array te, reaching towards the orange firewall! ¡°Boom¨C¨C¡± In an instant, the orange fierce mes ignited the green light and surged back along it! ¡°Crack!¡± The Array te turned directly to powder! ¡°No!¡± Ling Xian was horrified, his soul almost scattered in terror! The next moment, the mes engulfed him! Had Ling Xian perished? ¡°Young Master Ling!¡± Qing Luo¡¯s pretty face changed drastically. Ling Xian was from Taiyan Holy Land, and if something happened to him, it would be terrible. But, the next moment, a light burst forth from the mes, stopped shortly after, and turned out to be Ling Xian! He was pale, with a trace of blood on his lips, and said, ¡°Thest barrier is too strong, impossible to pass through!¡± ¡°Had it not been for a Lifeblood Talisman given by the Sect, I would have likely fallen here.¡± Hearing this, Qing Luo finally rxed. ¡°It¡¯s good that you are unharmed, Young Master. As for this final barrier, if we really can¡¯t get through, then we shouldn¡¯t force it.¡± As she spoke, she looked towards the Dragon Profound Sect area. Now that they had failed, all hope was on Dragon Profound Sect. As long as Dragon Profound Sect could break through, they could follow in afterward, but as per the unwritten rule, the treasures within would all be chosen by Dragon Profound Sect first. The onlookers outside were all watching Dragon Profound Sect closely. ¡°It¡¯s too hard, even Immortal Melody Pavilion has failed.¡± ¡°Now our only hope is Dragon Profound Sect. If they can¡¯t do it, then none of our Sects will be able to enter.¡± ¡°I hope they can!¡± All eyes were focused. At the area where Dragon Profound Sect was located. They had also reached the front of the final barrier. At that moment, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei had exchanged the Xuanhuo Ring several times. If it weren¡¯t for them being able to switch off and the fact that Dragon Profound Sect¡¯s powerhouses had given them various pills to restore their energy, they would have already been at their limit. Even so, they were still reaching their limits. ¡°No, I can¡¯t hold on any longer¡¡± Huo Xuanfei¡¯s hand was shining with the Xuanhuo Ring, but she still fainted heavily, stumbling to the ground! Solely by ncing at thest barrier, she almost became mentally deranged. Seeing this, Long Ziying¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed and said, ¡°If we can sessfully break through this barrier, I will ask the Sect for a Cultivation Technique for both of you!¡± A Cultivation Technique! ¡°Let me do it!¡± Huo Mingxuan immediately gritted his teeth and said. His Bright Fire Eyes were slightly stronger than Huo Xuanfei¡¯s. Wearing the Xuanhuo Ring, he exerted all his strength, and the mes in his eyes intensified to their peak, almost on the verge of copsing. He barely managed to see the pattern and lines of the firewall¡ He was about to speak, but then he let out a scream of agony! Huo Mingxuan¡¯s eyes were bleeding, and the Xuanhuo Ring on his hand was glowing red and scorching hot, burning his flesh to the point of rot! ¡°Bacsh!¡± An elder hurried forward to protect Huo Mingxuan¡¯s heart meridian! ¡°Saintess, there¡¯s no way out now¡¡± Elder Zhao also spoke to Long Ziying, his face weary. Long Ziying¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with unwillingness. Could this really be the end? The crowd outside was also buzzing with discussion. ¡°Even the Dragon Profound Sect has failed¡¡± ¡°For a Supreme Realm Secret Realm, you¡¯d need at least a Mahayana Powerhouse, or even a Venerable, to have any hope, right?¡± ¡°It seems that this time, we¡¯vee up empty.¡± ¡°No chance left¡ s¡¡± Everyone was speaking up. ¡°Someone is still attempting to break through!¡± Just then, a loud shout rang out. Everyone turned their eyes toward the direction indicated by the shout! ¡°Is it them?!¡± Long Ziying was taken aback by what she saw in the Dragon Profound Sect¡¯s area. It was none other than Fire Spirit and her group! Immortal Melody Pavilion, Qing Luo, and Ling Xian were also paying attention. ¡°Impressive, they¡¯ve managed to break through over a dozen challenges¡¡± Ling Xian muttered to himself. At this moment, Fire Spirit and her group were the center of everyone¡¯s attention. Fire Spirit¡¯s face was covered with a thinyer of sweat. In her eyes, a pale golden me was continuously burning! With the Saint Fire Eyes, she realized that even though she was not proficient in arrays, she could still sense the ws within them! It was a kind of natural rhythm. Thus, they quickly arrived at the final challenge! ¡°Hiss!¡± The crowd outside inhaled sharply. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the Lihuo Sect? A small Star-ranked force, along with the Third Princess of the Fire Country, able to match the achievements of two Supreme forces?¡± ¡°That¡¯s just unbelievable¡¡± ¡°No simple task, this definitely isn¡¯t just a small Star-ranked force!¡± Everyone was talking. In the Dragon Profound Sect, Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei, who had stabilized, were even more shocked upon seeing this. Fire Spirit was actually capable of leading the people of the Lihuo Sect so far? How could this be possible! They knew that the Xuanhuo Ring had already been taken by them! Where did Fire Spirit get such power? ¡°This can¡¯t be possible¡¡± The siblings were murmuring to themselves. ¡°It seems that her Eye Technique¡¯s cultivation level is even above you two,¡± Long Ziying said lightly, remembering the scene when she first saw Fire Spirit. Back then, she had thought that Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes were ring because of the Xuanhuo Ring she wore, but now it seemed that Fire Spirit had such exceptional cultivation! She had been mistaken! ¡°Her? She¡¯s nothing but a lowly maid! With her, daring to foolishly dream of breaking through? She¡¯s courting death!¡± Huo Xuanfei mocked coldly, unwilling to believe it. ¡ ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, can you do it?¡± Mu Qianning asked nervously. She could feel that Fire Spirit was very exhausted. At this moment, she remembered the first time she met Senior Li. Even the terrifying invisible mes had to actively avoid Senior Li. If he were here, any formidable array would be like walking on t ground! Unfortunately, how could Senior Li care about a mere Supreme Secret Realm? ¡°I¡¯ll try!¡± Fire Spirit took a deep breath as she faced the final wall of fire! She calmed her mind. At that instant, she recalled the images of the great suns she had seen in Senior Li¡¯s courtyard¡ Each sun seemed to represent the most powerful force in the world¡ In her eyes, the pale golden me seemed to transform into the sun itself. She stared at the wall of fire for a long time! After a while, she suddenly reached out and drew a door on the wall of fire! And the mes¡ they didn¡¯t hurt her! When she finished drawing the door, the entire wall of fire disappeared in an instant! The array was broken! Chapter 20 - 20 The Invincible Demon Venerable_1 Chapter 20 The Invincible Demon Venerable_1 Trantor: 549690339 The Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡¯s array has finally broken at this moment! The terrifying aura from the wall of fire vanished in an instant. ¡°The array is broken!¡± ¡°Quick, move forward!¡± ¡°Go!¡± In no time, countless forces surged forward like a tidal wave. The flying ships of Immortal Melody Pavilion and Dragon Profound Sect turned into streaks of light, incredibly fast. And those standing at the forefront of the secret realm, like Fire Spirit and the others, swiftly flew their ship towards the fiery red coffin! They quickly descended before the coffin. ¡°A Supreme¡¯s coffin¡ This is a great opportunity!¡± Yu Qishui waspletely excited! ¡°If we can obtain the secrets within, our Lihuo Sect will inevitably prosper!¡± Wei Yushan was also very solemn! Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes still held the faint golden mes, but at this moment, she felt a strange sensation. Having cultivated the Saint Fire Eyes, her observational and discerning abilities had greatly improved; however, the coffin gave her an ominous premonition. ¡°Let¡¯s go, open the coffin!¡± Yu Qishui spoke excitedly. Fire Spirit nodded too, since they hade, they inevitably had to take a look. Moreover, with the backup given by Senior Li, she was full of confidence. ¡°Stop right there!¡± Just then, a stern rebuke suddenly rang out! A streak of light approached quickly, and in the next moment, it hadnded beside them. Dragon Profound Sect! ¡°You shall not approach the Supreme coffin!¡± An elder from Dragon Profound Sect spoke coldly. This person was the one who had injured Yu Qishui back at Lihuo Sect. ¡°ording to the unwritten rules, the first force to break through has the right of first choice¡¡± Yu Qishui spoke firmly, ¡°Are you going to break the rules¡¡± But before he could finish, the elder had already turned aggressive, the Hollow Void Realm¡¯s cultivation level locking onto Yu Qishui with a cold murderous intent: ¡°Rules? Do you think you, a mere Soul Divide cultivator, have any right to talk about rules with me?¡± ¡°Either die or scram!¡± A direct threat! Yu Qishui and the others immediately had a drastic change in expression! ¡°Heh, a minor Moon-ranked force dares to covet the treasure of a Supreme force? Ridiculous.¡± People from Immortal Melody Pavilion arrived, and Ling Xian sneered. ¡°Friends from Taiyan Holy Land?¡± Long Ziying¡¯s pretty face showed a trace of solemnity, ¡°Since you¡¯ve intervened, we¡¯ll only take one-fifth of the secret treasures here.¡± Facing a Holy Land-ranked force, their Dragon Profound Sect was far from being a match; getting one fifth was already subject to their mercy! Ling Xian nced at Qing Luo. Qing Luo nodded, saying, ¡°Agreed.¡± ¡°Alright, then it¡¯s settled.¡± Long Ziying nodded, and with the end of her words, her figure suddenly moved. In an instant, she appeared in front of Fire Spirit. Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were already locked in ce by the experts of Dragon Profound Sect and couldn¡¯t move. Fire Spirit¡¯s Saint Fire Eyes sensed Long Ziying¡¯s movement, but due to the gap in their cultivation levels, she was toote to dodge! Long Ziying¡¯s hand mped down directly on Fire Spirit¡¯s throat! ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s face changed drastically, her expression filled with urgency, ¡°Let go of Sister Ling¡¯er right now!¡± However, Long Ziying just sneered, looking at Fire Spirit, ¡°There¡¯s something strange about you. I need to cripple your cultivation level first!¡± With that, an icicle appeared in the palm of her hand! ¡°Soul Severing Nail!¡± Someone eximed. The Soul Severing Nail could lock down a cultivator¡¯s Spiritual Power, gradually turning it into Mysterious Ice, ultimately leading to its exhaustion. ¡°You dare!¡± Mu Qianning grew even more anxious, and in that moment, she threw caution to the wind, ¡°If you darey a finger on Sister Ling¡¯er, Senior Li will surely make you pay!¡± ¡°Senior Li?¡± Long Ziying sneered, ¡°What is Senior Li? Even a Supreme cannot save her today!¡± Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan maliciously said, ¡°Correct, Dragon Virgin, just kill her. Our Royal Family of the Fire Nation will certainly not utter a single word of protest!¡± The Soul Severing Nail in Long Ziying¡¯s hand was about to pierce into Fire Spirit¡¯s body! Fire Spirit¡¯s scroll concealed in her sleeve was almost ready to be unveiled! But at that very moment¡ª ¡°Boom¡ª¡± The Supreme coffin at the center burst open! A figure d in ck Supreme burial attire stood up from within the coffin! And just in that moment, the mes that permeated the surrounding secret realm suddenly changed color to ck! On the outermost boundary, the intricate patterns of the Supreme array reappeared, with the ck mes turning into thousands of ghostly beasts, swirling in the sky and surrounding the thousands of cultivators who had entered the secret realm! In an instant, everyone¡¯s face changed! ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°No¡ is the Supreme being resurrected? Has Supreme Monarch Lihuo not perished?¡± ¡°Why does everything around feel so malevolent, as if it¡¯s making my soul tremble¡¡± All were shocked. ¡°This is bad, has the Supreme turned into a demon?!¡± An elder from Dragon Profound Sect cried out in horror! At his words, there was a universal shock. ¡°A Supreme turning into a demon¡ that¡¯s one of the great horrors!¡± ¡°Seeking immortality but bing a demon instead, Supreme Monarch Lihuo has be the Lihuo Demon Venerable¡ second only to the Evil God in causing disaster¡ heavens, we are finished today!¡± ¡°This is no lucky ce; this is simply a demon realm!¡± For a moment, all the great Sects were in panic, beginning to flee. Rushing about like dogs that lost their homes, scrambling like fish slipping through the! With a Supreme turned demon, even a living Supreme would avoid confrontation; failing to leave in time meant certain death. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± But just as everyone tried to escape, a flying ship was directly struck down by a vulture made of ck fire and the entire ship was incinerated! Countless people were attacked by creatures formed from the fire! Against the demonized Supreme¡¯s ck fire, not a single person could withstand. Everyone was panic-stricken! Dragon Profound Sect, Immortal Melody Pavilion! At this moment, the people from both sects feel like they are facing a formidable enemy, trembling with shock! They dare not flee, cannot flee. Because¡ the Lihuo Demon Venerable¡ had already locked onto them! The Lihuo Demon Venerable had a towering figure and an extraordinary aura. One could still vaguely discern the majestic demeanor of a great cultivator who once dominated the world. But now, he exudes a bubbly demon aura, engulfed in ck qi, and his eyes are oil green! ¡°I¡ am the vanguard of the king!¡± ¡°My rebirth¡ shall bring about annihtion¡¡± Out of the Lihuo Demon Venerable¡¯s mouth, ancient and awkward phrases spilled forth as he suddenly raised his hand! ¡°No!¡± On the ships of Lihuo Sect and Immortal Melody Pavilion, the Hollow Void Realm experts all screamed loudly at this moment! Bam Bam Bam Bam! All Hollow Void experts exploded into a mist of blood in that instant! Those remaining were stunned,pletely dumbfounded! They were Hollow Void experts, and in front of the Demon Venerable¡ just by raising a hand¡ It¡¯s too terrifying! Long Ziying herself was shocked; she subconsciously let go of Fire Spirit, retreating backwards as she gazed at the terrifying Demon Venerable! With the Demon Venerable present, who would contend? ¡°Demon Venerable, cease your presumptuous actions!¡± Suddenly, from outside the secret realm, a loud scream prated the array! Countless people turned their heads and saw three terrifying figures appearing in the air! ¡°The three elders, save me!¡± Long Ziying shouted! They were the three Mahayana powerhouses from Dragon Profound Sect! They frantically employed numerous magical treasures, attempting to breach the array and rescue Long Ziying. But the Demon Venerable merely waved his hand! Countless ck mes instantly transformed into a ck Celestial Wolf, howling as it charged, reaching the Mahayana powerhouses in an instant! The Celestial Wolf opened its maw and swallowed the three Mahayana cultivators whole! The next moment, only charred skeletons fell from the sky. Killing three Mahayana powerhouses in an instant. Long Ziying, upon witnessing this scene, was dumbfounded, shocked. Is this the strength of a Demon Venerable? Everyone despaired! ¡°Do not panic, my friends, Taiyan Holy Land has long been prepared!¡± Ling Xian stepped forward and crushed a jade talisman! Outside the secret realm, a spatial teleportation array suddenly appeared! Long-distance teleportation! The ck fire Celestial Wolf from the Demon Venerable halted, apparently waiting for the people in the teleportation array to emerge. ¡°Demon aura pervades all; it seems a real cmity has arisen¡¡± From within the teleportation array, an old man with white hair appeared. His appearance caused a series of exmations. ¡°This is an old Venerable from Taiyan Holy Land¡ a presence second only to the Supreme!¡± ¡°Indeed, Ancient Tuo Ya Zun!¡± ¡°Taiyan Holy Land dispatched a Venerable of this caliber, it seems they had long anticipated something would happen here?¡± Everyone was overjoyed! The arrival of such a powerhouse could possibly control the Demon Venerable! Ancient Tuo Ya Zun appeared in the air, nced over and snorted, ¡°So it is the Demon Venerable!¡± ¡°Today, I shall grant youplete death!¡± He produced a sword in his hand! It was an extremely ancient sword. ¡°Quasi-Immortal Sword, y the Demon Venerable!¡± With a thunderous shout from Ancient Tuo Ya Zun, the ancient sword unleashed powerful Sword Qi, cutting across the Sky Domain, a terrifying golden sword light shattering the ck fire Celestial Wolf and shing towards the array! ¡°The Quasi-Immortal Sword is invincible!¡± ¡°This is thest sword of the Immortal of Taiyan before he became immortal, symbolizing the limit of the Supreme Realm!¡± ¡°With even a hint of Immortal Qi, it is enough to y the Demon Venerable!¡± Voices chimed in from the crowd! A scene full of anticipation unfolded! Yet, the Demon Venerable still merely raised his hand! Demonic fire filled the sky, morphing into a ck fire dragon! The sinister ck fire dragon coiled in the sky, engulfing everything, virtually incinerating even the very air, and lunged forward ferociously! The next moment! The sky full of golden sword light caught aze! Under the roaring ck fire dragon, Ancient Tuo Ya Zun was devoured in one gulp! ¡°No¡ª¡ª¡± The dreadful scream of Ancient Tuo Ya Zun rang out! Suddenly, nothing but an ebon ancient sword plummeted from Ancient Tuo Ya Zun¡¯s disintegrated bones! Yet the ck demon dragon did not pause, heading straight for the still-open teleportation array! It wanted to strike at Taiyan Holy Land! At this moment, within the Taiyan Holy Land, far away beyond the span of a thousand li¡ª In an ancient temple, the teleportation array suddenly trembled! An elder guardian of the teleportation array, his face turned pale, cried out, ¡°A mighty foe is about to break through the teleportation array, please, Supreme!¡± In the depths of the Taiyan Holy Land, a terrifying figure suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, a towering figure appeared in the ancient temple. ¡°Hongxuan Supreme, an enemy approaches, please take action!¡± The elder urgently spoke. The towering figure took a deep breath and said, ¡°Impossible! Terrifying demonic aura surpassing the Supreme, an insurmountable foe¡ shut down the teleportation array! Otherwise, the Holy Land will face a great catastrophe!¡± He personally took action! ¡ Thousands of li away, through the teleportation array, the thousands of people in the secret realm heard the brief exchange! Immediately after, the teleportation array swiftly disappeared! The ck demon dragon ultimately missed its mark! Inside the secret realm, the thousands present¡ were all dumbstruck! Silence fell,plete silence! Chapter 21 - 21 Senior Li’s Painting_1 Chapter 21 Senior Li¡¯s Painting_1 Trantor: 549690339 Ancient Tuo Ya Zun, the strongest beneath the Supreme, came wielding the Quasi-Immortal Sword, yet not even a ripple was stirred before his sword was destroyed and he met his demise! Even Taiyan Holy Land was so frightened that they summoned the Supreme and shut down the Teleportation Array! This¡ this is too terrifying! ¡°It¡¯s over¡ all ispletely lost¡¡± ¡°Even the Supreme dares not contend¡¡± ¡°To oppress the Holy Land, is this the terror of the Demon Venerable?¡± In that moment, everyone in the area sumbed to despair. How could they possibly escape now? ¡°No¡ impossible¡ this can¡¯t be happening!¡± Ling Xian trembled in this moment,pletely shaken. How could even the Supreme recoil¡ This was uneptable! ¡°s¡ who would have thought that today, I would ultimately perish here¡¡± Fairy Music Pavilion¡¯s Saintess, Qing Luo, let out a long sigh. Even Taiyan Holy Land, which still had a Supreme alive, avoided battle and dared not engage; their Immortal Melody Pavilion was merely a force at the Supreme Level, and their current strongest was but a Venerable¡ They were even less capable of opposing the enemy! On the other side, Long Ziying waspletely stupefied. The sword in her hand nged as it fell to the ground. She was nearly scared silly! ¡°Supreme¡ Supreme, we are your descendants, your descendants!¡± In that moment, Huo Mingxuan thudded to his knees on the ground! Huo Xuanfei also knelt down immediately, the two of them kowtowing deeply to the Demon Venerable! The Lihuo Demon Venerable simply gave them a wooden nce and said, ¡°Since you follow my path, you shall be my ves¡¡± He raised his hand, and Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei suddenly let out a cry of agony. To their horror, their souls began to be extracted! He then infused their souls with a dark qi! Afterward, the souls returned to their rightful ce. The two of them frothed at the mouth and convulsed, regaining consciousness only to find themselves no longer human nor ghost, turned into demonic ves! ¡°You shall be the head of my ves¡¡± The Demon Venerable¡¯s gaze then fell upon Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit had already mastered the Saint Fire Eyes, and of course, she did not escape the Demon Venerable¡¯s attention! In that instant, Fire Spirit felt a terrifying presence descend upon her, a force that filled her with despair and was irresistible. It was this very moment that, exerting all her strength, she suddenly flung her hand and a painting scroll in her hand was thrown forth! The moment the scroll appeared, it autonomously soared into the sky. Everywhere it passed, the myriad of demonic beasts made of ck fire were instantly annihted into nothingness! A scroll hung in the sky, slowly unfurling! All eyes were transfixed, everyone looking simultaneously! When the scroll finally opened, it revealed a phoenix undergoing nirvana! Reborn from endless mes, it carried a multitude of sacredness and divine majesty! That phoenix appeared as though it were a living Divine Beast! The instant the scroll opened, a terrifying aura engulfed thend, the secret realm¡¯s bricks and tiles broke into pieces, and the myriad of demonic beasts in the sky all disintegrated into nothingness! Destruction of everything! At this moment, everyone felt as though they were in the presence of a formidable Immortal! ¡°No¡¡± ¡°What kind of power is this¡ surpassing the Supreme¡¡± ¡°Is that a Divine Spirit¡¯s painting?!¡± Thousands of people couldn¡¯t help but bow in veneration! Even the Lihuo Demon Venerable¡¯s eyes flickered with a green light. He suddenly roared furiously, his hand beckoning as a myriad of auras converged to him. In an instant, he merged with the terrifying ck fire demonic dragon in the sky vault, roaring as it charged towards the painting! At this moment, the might of the ck fire demonic dragon increased tenfold! However, at that moment within the scroll, the phoenix let out a cry! With the cry, an invisible True Fire appeared! As the ck fire demonic dragon ascended, with the phoenix¡¯s cry and the emergence of True Fire, the enormous, fearsome body of the ck fire dragon simply shattered! The body of the Lihuo Demon Venerable was likewise sted into nothingness! In an instant, the sky cleared! Thew Array in the secret realm ceased to exist! Only the painting remained, standing arrogantly in the sky vault! The Phoenix undergoing nirvana within the scroll seemed to be intimidating the wilnds. At this moment, the entire Cangli Mountain Range fell silent with hardly a whisper, every creature prostrated, and all taboos hushed! It wasn¡¯t until a long timeter¡ª The Phoenix¡¯s cry faded away, the True Fire dispersed, but the divine presence lingered over this region! At that instant, everyone bowed in veneration to the painting, their piety was unmatched! ¡°Divine Spirits!¡± ¡°The work of Divine Spirits!¡± ¡°This is a true revtion of the sacred!¡± They were overwhelmed with excitement, even more than when the Array of Supreme Monarch Lihuo was broken! After a lengthy period, the scroll slowly descended,nding in the hands of Fire Spirit. Looking at the scroll in her hands, Fire Spirit¡¯s delicate body shivered uncontrobly. Beside her, Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan were dumbfounded, their eyes wide and jaws cked, as if turned to stone! They knew Senior Li was formidable, but¡ they had no idea he was fearsome to this extent! The majesty of the Demon Venerablepelled the Holy Land into silence, and the Supreme receded. Yet, Senior Li annihted it with merely a casual stroke! Even, with the power of the drawing unleashed by only one-thousandth, one ten-thousandth, the Demon Venerable perished¡ What Realm is this, and what kind of mastery is this? ¡°It¡¯s simply unimaginable¡ just who is Senior Li??¡± Just the thought made Yu Qishui¡¯s scalp tingle! Before, they actually imagined Senior Li to be of the Mahayana Realm, within the Venerable Realm¡ It was a huge affront to Senior Li! Affront! He was trembling with fear, fortunate that Senior Li was magnanimous enough not to fuss over such ants like them¡ ¡°I always knew, everything is within Senior Li¡¯s grasp!¡± Mu Qianning was extremely excited, her fists clenched tightly. Just the thought of Li Fan made her feel like all the dangers of this world were utterly trivial. At this moment, the thousands within the Secret Realm all turned their gazes towards Fire Spirit! Fire Spirit, the owner of the painting¡ ¡°As an elder, on behalf of the Wind Nation Royal Family, I pay my respects to the Saintess!¡± An old man suddenly spoke with a trembled voice as he knelt down in front of Fire Spirit! He set the precedent, and the others followed suit without exception! ¡°We pay our respect to the Saintess!¡± ¡°We pay our respect to the Saintess!¡± At that moment, forces of all sizes present at the scene knelt down in submission! Fire Spirit was momentarily taken aback. In the Immortal Melody Pavilion, Ling Xian watched Fire Spirit with aplicated expression filled with humiliation, sorrow, and envy¡ Next to him, Fairy Music Pavilion¡¯s Saintess Qing Luo fell silent momentarily, before graciously saluting and saying, ¡°I pay my respects to the Saintess.¡± I pay my respects to the Saintess! Even the Saintess from the Supreme force showed such respect! Qing Luo was also extremely astute. She could tell at a nce that Fire Spirit¡¯s cultivation was not high, but the fact that she could easily pass earlier challenges andter use a single painting to kill the Demon Venerable¡ it was clear that there was an extremely terrifying presence behind Fire Spirit! At the very least, it was an Immortal! And that painting, even if it was an immortal-level treasure, was definitely refined by an Immortal with great care. There weren¡¯t many such items in the entire Xuantian Realm, and to bring such a painting indicated that Fire Spirit must be the direct disciple of an Immortal! Calling her a Saintess was not an overstatement at all! Simrly, thousands of people from countless powerful forces present were respectfully kneeling, and what they respected was the entity behind Fire Spirit! Even the people from Dragon Profound Sect were stunned. At this moment, many of them felt their mentality copse; their knees weakened, they knelt down, and dared not to raise their heads! Long Ziying¡¯s eyes were wide open as she looked at Fire Spirit, her mind thunderstruck, aplete nk! All was lost¡ she had brought a cmity of epic proportions upon her sect! She had once permitted her subordinates to challenge the Sect Master of Lihuo Sect, who was the servant of that existence¡ She had once said that in front of Dragon Profound Sect, the entity behind Lihuo Sect was nothing¡ Just now, she had captured Fire Spirit, almost destroying her cultivation with the Soul Severing Nail¡ The more she thought about it, the paler herplexion became, and her legs trembled. Thump! She fell to her knees, trembling as she spoke word by word, ¡°Saintess, Ziying was wrong!¡± ¡°Please, Saintess, show mercy; spare Ziying and spare our sect!¡± Her head lowered, beads of sweat dropped from her forehead like soybeans! Chapter 22 - 22 Senior Li’s Mission_1 Chapter 22 Senior Li¡¯s Mission_1 Trantor: 549690339 The Saintess of the mighty Dragon Profound Sect was kneeling and begging for mercy at this moment. The hearts of all were immenselyplicated. ¡°This time, the Dragon Profound Sect has truly brought about a catastrophe!¡± ¡°Although they are a Supreme Level power, if an Immortal wrathful, they are nothing but dust!¡± Many people were discussing in low voices. The Dragon Profound Sect was strong, but this time, they had indeed kicked an iron te. Fire Spirit took a deep breath, slowlying back to her senses, feeling as if she were in a dream. Looking at the kneeling figures of these great powers¡many of them were once existences that the Fire Country could not afford to provoke. All this was due to Senior Li. She nced at Long Ziying with a flicker of coldness in her eyes. ¡°Self-destruct your cultivation and await punishment!¡± She didn¡¯t care how Long Ziying had just treated her, but she wouldn¡¯t forget that the other party didn¡¯t even regard Senior Li highly. This, she could not tolerate! Upon hearing this, Long Ziying¡¯s face drastically changed. To self-destruct one¡¯s cultivation¡ Her body was trembling, her heart struggling. Once her cultivation was destroyed, it meant she would be a mortal. For a Saintess of a Supreme Level power, this was simply uneptable. But, if she did not self-destruct her cultivation¡ ¡°When an Immortal rages, even Supremes must die.¡± At this moment, Ling Xian spoke with aplex expression, as a reminder. Immortal! Long Ziying despaired. She let out a miserableugh and took out a Soul Severing Nail! Then, she directly drove it into her own body! Self-destruction of cultivation! A sigh rose from the crowd! ¡°Off with you¡ª¡± Fire Spirit spoke, and Long Ziying, with a wry smile, retreated and left. ¡°Princess Ling¡¯er, since that senior has taken action, we of the Taiyan Holy Land will by no means interfere!¡± Ling Xian bowed to Fire Spirit and said, ¡°We take our leave.¡± Qing Luo of the Immortal Melody Pavilion did the same, bidding farewell with a bow. Suddenly, many people began to leave. With an entity transcending Supremes intervening, this ce was no longer within anyone else¡¯s reach. There were also some powers waiting, though they dared notpete, they did want to see what was inside the Demon Venerable¡¯s coffin. Fire Spirit and the others turned to look at the Demon Venerable¡¯s coffin. Approaching the coffin, they saw that it contained nothing but a square block of wood. On top of the block, there was a ck me! ¡°This is the Supreme Magical Treasure of Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡ªHeavenly Fire Divine Town!¡± Someone eximed in surprise. ¡°The Heavenly Fire Divine Town is said to be made of millennium Xuanhuo Wood, and even more so, it contains the life Dao of Supreme Monarch Lihuo!¡± ¡°With this object, one could almost recreate a Supreme.¡± ¡°However, this item has been invaded by demonic energy, and unless an Immortal intervenes, whoever uses it will die!¡± The crowd buzzed with discussion. ¡°Sect Master, what do you think?¡± Uncertain, Fire Spirit turned to ask Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui pondered for a moment and said, ¡°Senior Li bestowed the painting and led us here; it is probably for this very item!¡± ¡°We must retrieve it for Senior Li!¡± Fire Spirit nodded. She then stepped forward and took out the block of wood. ¡°Be careful, the demonic energy inside is intense; it is most likely the cause of Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡¯s transformation into a demon and it could infect others at any time!¡± An elder warned. Fire Spirit, however, shook her head and said, ¡°This item dares not act recklessly!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned, then they understood¡ªthe terrifying painting was still with Fire Spirit; how could the demonic energy dare to disturb? ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Fire Spiritmanded! ¡ Before long, Fire Spirit and the others had left the Secret Realm. They returned to the Lihuo Sect first. The reason being, Yu Qishui and the others feared someone might be tracking them; disturbing Senior Li would be a grave sin. They waited at the Lihuo Sect. ¡ Meanwhile, the news of the emergence of Supreme Monarch Lihuo¡¯s Secret Realm in the Cangli Mountain Range spread rapidly throughout the Southern Territory. When word got out that the Supreme Monarch Lihuo of yesteryear had turned into the Demon Venerable, destroying the Ancient Tuo Ya Zun of the Taiyan Holy Land and even forcing the Supreme of the Taiyan Holy Land to retreat, the entire Southern Territory was astounded. The Taiyan Holy Land was one of the top forces in the entire Southern Territory. Founded by an Immortal! Moreover, such Sect Gates generally have channels to contact their ancient ancestors in the Immortal Realm. Such a domineering force was suppressed by a single demon¡ Yet, such a terrifying Demon Venerable was in the end subdued by a painting. The news sent shockwaves throughout the Southern Territory. ¡°Could it be that there is an Immortal in our Southern Territory now?!¡± ¡°Definitely, it¡¯s said that some Immortals with unpeaked cultivation may choose to cultivate in secret in the mortal world for a time, surely it¡¯s such an entity.¡± ¡°But for a thousand years, no one has heard of anyone taking that step on the Immortal Path.¡± The world was abuzz with the news. Fire Spirit and the Lihuo Sect were thrust into the limelight. All eyes in the Southern Territory were fixed on them! Inside the Imperial Pce of the Fire Country. ¡°Your majesty, that wench must be responsible for Ming Xuan and Empress Xuan¡¯s death; you must avenge them and kill that wench!¡± A beautiful woman was crying out before the Fire Emperor! The Fire Emperor, dressed in a luminous yellow robe, had an exceedingly grim expression. ¡°Shut your mouth!¡± The Fire Emperor shouted angrily, ¡°Do you want me dead too?! She has a being transcending Supremes standing behind her!¡± The beautiful woman immediately fell silent. ¡°Guard, take my imperial decree, and invite Princess Ling¡¯er back; I want to establish her as the next Empress of the Fire Country!¡± The Fire Emperor¡¯s gaze was somber. The beautiful woman was as if struck by lightning¡ ¡ Some time had passed. Yu Qishui and the others finally confirmed that there was no one spying around. In truth, this was just their unnecessary caution; who would dare spy on an Immortal? That would be courting disaster for their own Sect! Chapter 23: Fire Country, A Change of Weather_1 Chapter 23: Fire Country, A Change of Weather_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°` The Imperial Edict of the Fire Emperor has arrived. Instantly, the Lihuo Sect trembled from top to bottom. Many disciples came out and looked up at the sky. In the sky, a Golden Armored General d in golden armor, riding a steed exhaling mes, disyed an extraordinary presence and arrogantly looked down upon the Lihuo Sect. ¡°Where is the Third Princess? Come forth and receive the Edict!¡± The Golden Armored General spoke coldly. Shortly after, at the gate of the Lihuo Sect, Yu Qishui, Fire Spirit, and others appeared. ¡°Third Princess, the Fire Emperor orders you to return to the Imperial Capital immediately. The Emperor shall appoint you as the heir to the throne,¡± said the Golden Armored General. ¡°Receive the Edict!¡± However, Fire Spirit responded with a cold tone, ¡°You¡¯re just a mere general of the court, and you dare to be so arrogant. Are you looking down on me?¡± The Golden Armored General furrowed his brow, but then he said, ¡°Third Princess, you may be noble, but I am a Hollow Void Realm cultivator!¡± In this world, everything depended on one¡¯s strength. ¡°Hollow Void Realm? Is that supposed to be impressive?¡± Fire Spirit uttered coldly; the next moment, her figure had already vanished. She reappeared right above the Golden Armored General. A palm struck down! Fierce mes raged! ¡°What?! Hollow Void?!¡± The Golden Armored General was shocked! He clearly felt the strength of the Hollow Void Realm from Fire Spirit¡¯s palm. Moreover, she was among the top Hollow Void Level powerhouses. He hurriedly resisted, his Spiritual Power bursting forth. But his Spiritual Power was easily dissolved under the fiery force of Fire Spirit¡¯s palm. The next moment, he was devoured by a Fire Snake. ¡°Aaah¡ª¡± The Golden Armored General turned to ash. Fire Spirit caught the falling Imperial Edict from the sky, eyes filled with ice-cold resolve. ¡°Today is the day I avenge my mother,¡± she dered. ¡°It is also time to establish the first stronghold for Senior Li.¡± Turning to Yu Qishui and the others, she said, ¡°Gentlemen, I wish to wage war on the Fire Country!¡± Wage war on the Fire Country! Yu Qishui nodded, ¡°It must be so!¡± He leapt into the sky with a single bound, standing beside Fire Spirit. Wei Yushan and Mu Qianning quickly followed behind. That day, the Lihuo Sect waged war on the Fire Country! As soon as the news broke, the world was shocked. ¡°What? The Lihuo Sect dares to attack the Fire Country?¡± ¡°Have they lost their minds? The Fire Emperor is a Mahayana Powerhouse of his generation, no less.¡± ¡°It is said that in just a short period, Princess Fire Spirit has advanced to the Hollow Void Realm, and let¡¯s not forget, behind them stands someone who even killed a Demon Venerable!¡± All forces within the Fire Country were watching with nervous anticipation. The news of Fire Spirit andpany conquering cities spread instantly. Huo Yue City has fallen! Ye Yan City annihted! ¡ All the way to the Imperial Capital of the Fire Country! ¡°This is terrible!¡± In the Fire Nation Imperial Pce, an elder, who had lost an arm and looked extremely miserable, rushed in, saying, ¡°The Third Princess¡¯s forces are at the gates; we cannot stop them!¡± Upon his throne, the Fire Emperor¡¯s face changed drastically! ¡°How is this possible¡¡± A woman beside him looked shocked. She was the Empress of the Fire Country, the mother of Huo Mingxuan and Huo Xuanfei. It was she who had caused the death of Fire Spirit¡¯s mother years ago. ¡°Your Majesty, please take action and kill this wretch!¡± She pleaded with the Fire Emperor. But the Fire Emperor¡¯s face was heavy with concern. ¡°Is there no word from the Dragon Profound Sect or the Cangyang Sect?¡± He looked towards a nearby old eunuch. The old eunuch¡¯s expression was grim as he said, ¡°They¡ they dare not send troops!¡± They dared not send troops! ¡ªAs soon as Fire Spirit took the first city, the Fire Emperor had already sought external aid. He personally wrote to the Dragon Profound Sect and the Cangyang Sect, two Supreme forces. The terms were extremely humble; he even promised that if they saved the Fire Country this time, the Fire Country would be willing to be a vassal state. Yet, they were unwilling to lend a hand! ¡°Is this the might of an Immortal?¡± The Fire Emperor sighed. He almost expected this; Supreme-level forces were the strongest he could call upon, butpared to an Immortal¡ they were mere ants. Who in the world didn¡¯t know that behind Fire Spirit stood an existence that surpassed the Supreme? ¡°It seems that this grudge must finally be settled.¡± He stood up and walked out of the great hall. All the ministers and generals followed him. The moment he stepped out of the great hall, the Fire Emperor saw the fierce and valiant Fire Spirit. d in a long fiery red dress, she resembled a fairy of mes. At her side, Yu Qishui, Wei Yushan, and Mu Qianning were equally valiant and formidable! Below their feet, the nine Hollow Void Level guardians of the Fire Nation Imperial Capitaly in their own blood! ¡°` No one can stand in the way! ¡°My child, you truly make your father proud.¡± At this moment, the Fire Emperor actually revealed a faint smile and said, ¡°With strength like yours, I am at ease entrusting the Fire Nation to you.¡± ¡°At ease?¡± Fire Spirit¡¯s response was icy, ¡°That was neen years ago. Your feigned concern is useless now!¡± The Fire Emperor shook his head and said, ¡°Ling¡¯er, you know that your mother has always been my true love.¡± ¡°Likewise, she deeply loved me; otherwise, why would she have died for me?¡± ¡°True love?¡± Fire Spirit felt disgust and said, ¡°That woman killed your true love, and what did you do? Don¡¯t insult those two words!¡± The Fire Emperor said, ¡°Ling¡¯er, I know you bear resentment, so today, I will prove it to you.¡± Suddenly, with a great grasp, the Empress¡¯s neck was in his clutches! ¡°Your Majesty¡¡± The Empress¡¯s face changed drastically. ¡°She murdered your mother all those years ago, and I¡¯ve long wanted to depose her!¡± ¡°It was only for the sake of national stability, but now, the time hase to avenge your mother.¡± The Fire Emperor spoke mercilessly and directly strangled the Empress to death with his bare hands! He threw the Empress¡¯s body down at Fire Spirit¡¯s feet and, at the same time, removed his dragon robe. ¡°From this day forth, you are the Emperor of the Fire Nation.¡± ¡°Your father will assist you in governing this nation!¡± The Fire Emperor spoke gravely. Yet Fire Spirit only looked at him indifferently. ¡°There¡¯s no need for futile struggle; today, you too must die, to apany my mother in death!¡± she announced. She took a step forward! ¡°Ling¡¯er, is there truly no room for negotiation?¡± ¡°None!¡± The Fire Emperor¡¯s expression changed, and in that moment, a ruthless look shed in his eyes as he suddenly said, ¡°In that case, don¡¯t me me!¡± With a single step he took! Below the Imperial Pce, the earth split open instantly! Below, moltenva rolled, and magma overflowed! ¡°Do you know why the Fire Nation has stood to this day?¡± ¡°Because there is a giant earth fire vein here!¡± ¡°Generation after generation, the ancestors of the Fire Nation sacrificed their lives, burying their bones within it, and the fire vein has long be sentient, capable of burning even immortals!¡± ¡°Even if the person backing you were to personallye, it wouldn¡¯t be enough!¡± The Fire Emperor roared, his spiritual power surged wildly! From the earth¡¯s fissure, countlessva jets erupted, forming a scorching, red-hot Fire Snake that danced violently across the sky, attempting to swallow Fire Spirit and herpanions! The might was so tremendous that even Supremes might be eradicated by this magma Fire Snake. But Fire Spirit remained utterly cold. She raised her hand, and suddenly, a wooden pce model soared into the air, growing continuouslyrger in the sky! Finally, a vast, ancient pce pressed down upon the fiery giant dragon! ¡°Ao hou¡ª¡± The fiery giant dragon let out a heaven-shaking roar, but when the giant pcended, the magma was entirely collected within it! Fire Spirit beckoned with her hand, and the pce, now the size of a palm model, returned to her hand. The formidable giant serpent vanished as if it had never appeared. ¡°What kind of artifact is this?!¡± The Fire Emperor was shocked. That was an earth fire vein that could threaten immortals! And yet, it had been contained by a pce? How was that possible! Uneptable! ¡°It¡¯s your turn now!¡± With a wave of Fire Spirit¡¯s hand, a painting scroll soared into the sky! The next moment, a terrifying might enveloped the entire Fire Nation Imperial Capital. The Fire Emperor only managed a pitiful scream before turning to ash. That day, the Fire Nation was breached, and the Fire Emperor was in. The Third Princess of the Fire Nation, Fire Spirit, ascended to the throne and proimed it to the world. All the sects under heaven were profoundly shocked. The Fire Nation, with its myriad day-level and month-level forces, hurriedly went to the Imperial Capital to pay their respects in just one day! Especially at the end, when the Fire Emperor was exterminated, and that painting scroll swept across the sky, numerous major forces felt it. ¡°This is a deterrence to all sides!¡± ¡°The will of the immortals is not to be defied!¡± ¡°The Fire Nation has changed rulers!¡± ¡ After the Fire Nation was seized, it quickly regained stability. After all, Fire Spirit and others had only exterminated those who were loyal to the Fire Emperor. The rest, feeling the boundless might, submitted outright. ¡°Elder Sect Master, the most important thing for us now is to collect all kinds of major information for Senior Li,¡± said Fire Spirit from the throne, looking at Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui smiled and replied, ¡°Letting the Fire Nation¡¯s intelligence system operate in full swing should be sufficient.¡± Fire Spirit nodded her head. At the same time, many outsiders from various sects came to pay their respects. Fire Spirit met with them one by one; after all, now that the Fire Nation had a new ruler, it was necessary to establish good rtions with all parties. It took many consecutive days to finish meeting with most of the forces. ¡°Taiyan Holy Land¡¯s Hongxuan Supreme, Ziyang Holy Land¡¯s Luoming Supreme have arrived!¡± A loud announcement! The Fire Nation Imperial Pce trembled mightily. Two Supremes from the two great Holy Lands hade to visit! Chapter 24: The Secret of the Cangli Mountain Range!_1 Chapter 24: The Secret of the Cangli Mountain Range!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Two Supremes came to visit! Fire Spirit, Yu Qishui, and the others were all shocked. They immediately went out together to greet the visitors. They saw an elder d in a long robe with an aura as imposing as mountains, whose presence was deep and powerful. He spoke, ¡°Hong Xuan, representing Taiyan Holy Land, congrattes the Fire Country on the new emperor¡¯s ascension.¡± Supreme Hong Xuan was not arrogant and gave a cupped-fist salute. The other person was a Taoist holding a horsetail whisk, wearing a Taiji Dao Robe, with an appearance of celestial elegance. He too smiled and said, ¡°The Empress indeed presents a fine figure.¡± He was none other than Supreme Luo Ming. ¡°You tter us, Supremes.¡± ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Fire Spirit gestured with her hand. The group walked into the great hall. ¡°Fire Emperor, we won¡¯t beat around the bush. The reason we havee here is that we wish to meet that senior!¡± Just as they entered the great hall, Luo Ming already started speaking, ¡°Our two Holy Lands have discovered that the Evil God¡¯s emissary descended in the Southern Territory of Fire Country a few days ago.¡± ¡°The Evil God failed in bing a Supreme through his Dao and was trapped by his inner demons, turning evil. Although he failed to be a Supreme, he could still be called an evil Immortal. I¡¯m afraid that within the Xuantian Realm, only that senior is capable of handling him.¡± At these words, Fire Spirit¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. ¡°Moreover, the reason the Evil God appeared this time is most likely because there is something in the depths of the Cangli Mountain Range that is attracting it.¡± ¡°That thing is also the reason Supreme Monarch Lihuo transformed into a Demon Venerable!¡± The two did not hide anything. ¡°If we¡¯re not mistaken, Lihuo Demon Venerable is merely the weakest under that thing¡¯s maniption.¡± Luo Ming expressed his worries, ¡°If the other beings within the Cangli Mountain Range also undergo demonic transformation and revive, it would spell disaster not just for the entire Southern Territory, but for the whole Xuantian Realm as well. Therefore, our two Holy Lands wish to join forces with that senior.¡± ¡°Both the Evil God and whatever lies deep within the Cangli Mountain Range are not entities that can be easily dealt with.¡± Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui and the rest were lost in thought. ¡°I originally thought that Senior Li¡¯s goal was the Evil God, but now it seems the world in Senior Li¡¯s eyes is beyond our imagination!¡± Yu Qishui spoke gravely. A power that could transform a Supreme into a demon, a thing coveted by the Evil God¡ Senior Li¡¯s chess game is on such a grand and vast scale. We are but ants who can only see a fraction of the whole picture! Their expressions wereplex. ¡°I believe that all of this is within Senior Li¡¯s control, but we should also make a visit, now that Fire Country has been secured, it is time to pay our respects.¡± Yu Qishui looked at Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit also nodded in agreement; today¡¯s sess was all thanks to Senior Li, and even if Senior Li did not care for formalities, it was proper to pay a visit! ¡°In that case, we shall take the two of you to meet Senior Li, but whether he wishes to see us will entirely depend on fate¡¡± ¡ At this moment. Outside the Cangli Mountain Range, a Yu Kong Flying Ship arrived. ¡°It is indeed the ce where the ancestor proved his Dao, at first nce, it appears like a dormant dragon concealing countless secrets!¡± Onboard the Yu Kong Flying Ship, there were actually two females. One of the girls was only about fifteen or sixteen, with bright, affectionate eyes and full of spirituality. She carried a square backpack, which contained her painting board. ¡°Sister, I heard that a Demon Venerable appeared here not long ago; can we really retrieve what the ancestor left behind?¡± The girl asked with some concern. The older girl, about twenty years old, with a graceful figure and stunning beauty, possessed an ethereal quality. She carried a Jiaowei Qin on her back and smiled lightly, ¡°Zi Ling, you are the most talented person in our Three Absolutes Holy Land. If anyone in this world is to obtain what the ancestor left behind, it would certainly be you.¡± The Yu Kong Flying Ship continued forward, and today they nned to take a look around the perimeter. ¡°It is said the Demon Venerable that appeared here was suppressed to death by a painting from an existence surpassing Supremes. I can¡¯t imagine what kind of painting would have such power!¡± Zi Ling¡¯s beautiful and youthful face filled with longing as she said, ¡°Sister Nan Feng, what kind of person could create such a painting?¡± Nan Fengughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t envy others. Our Three Absolutes Holy Land upholds the Art of Painting as a pir, and even if the one who suppressed the Demon Venerable is an Immortal, we in Three Absolutes Holy Land are no weaker than him.¡± ¡°You should first perfect your painting skills to the level of ¡®Mysterious Perfection¡¯ before anything else,¡± Zi Ling pouted and said, ¡°Oh!¡± Then, she stuck out her tongue and murmured, ¡°If only I could encounter an Immortal who is skilled in transformational painting, watching an Immortal paint would be much better than observing those old works inside the Holy Lands¡¡± The airship continued forward. ¡°Hmm?¡± At that moment, Nan Feng suddenly sensed something, saying, ¡°What power lies ahead? The airship dares not approach it!¡± She walked to the front of the airship, peering into the distance. Their vessel, a Spirit-ss Airship from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, was crafted from bones of various powerful beasts and already possessed a hint of a primitive spirit! To seek good fortune and avoid disaster! Instantly, Nan Fengmunicated with the spirit of the airship, only to receive a broken message: ¡°Great terror¡ cannot approach¡ ¡± The spirit hadn¡¯t fully developed yet and could only convey so much. ¡°If even a Spirit-ss Airship dares not move forward, that means there must be an extraordinary entity ahead!¡± Nan Feng¡¯s pretty face grew serious as she said, ¡°We¡¯ve only reached the outer periphery of Cangli Mountain Range¡ This ce is indeed the same fatal ground where our ancestors once risked their lives nine times over to cross!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s turn back.¡± She prepared to leave. ¡°No, that¡¯s not right!¡± At this time, Zi Ling was observing the front, her beautiful face showing a hint of excitement as she said, ¡°It¡¯s not danger!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Sacred Brush Dao Rhyme¡ There¡¯s Sacred Brush Dao Rhyme ahead, shooting straight into the skies¡ How terrifying!¡± She spoke with animation, ¡°Sister Nan Feng, I want to go ahead and have a look, there¡¯s an unparalleled master painting there!¡± Upon hearing this, Nan Feng¡¯s beautiful face was suddenly struck with surprise. A master painting? Brushwork Dao Rhyme piercing the heavens? How is that possible! How could Dao Rhyme that¡¯s powerful enough to affect the Spirit-ss Airship from such a distance exist? Unless the founder of the Three Absolutes was resurrected, how could this be achieved? ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go quickly, let¡¯s go!¡± Zi Ling tugged at Nan Feng¡¯s hand. Nan Feng hesitated. With Zi Ling¡¯s innate talent for the Art of Painting, which was hard toe by in the Xuantian Realm, and her unrivaled sensitivity to the Art of Painting within the Sect Gate, if she said that there was an unparalleled master at work ahead, there was likely some credibility to it. But going there rashly was too dangerous. Even if it truly was an unparalleled master, who knew what kind of being they were dealing with? Good or evil? ¡°Forget it, we came to Cangli Mountain Range prepared to face dangers. Adding this risk won¡¯t make much of a difference!¡± ¡°Spirit of the airship, fly low, and do not be disrespectful to the presence ahead!¡± Their altitude immediately dropped! Soon, they finally approached. As they got closer, without needing a reminder from the spirit of the airship, both Nan Feng and Zi Ling felt the overwhelming force of the Dao! It was a mountain peak that seemed so ordinary at first nce but was now enveloped in boundless Dao Rhyme. In reality, the Dao Rhyme was gentle, without any intent of aggression or threat, but they were simply too weak. In the face of a Divine Dragon, even if they knew the dragon paid them no heed, ants would still tremble in fear! ¡°Zi Ling, are you sure you want to go?¡± Nan Feng was extremely nervous; they were now very close to that existence. But in Zi Ling¡¯srge eyes shone a radiant light, as she nodded repeatedly and said, ¡°Yes! Sister, just by getting closer, the Art of Painting secret techniques within me have started operating automatically. This is the call of the Dao. If I can just have one look, just one nce, I would have no regrets even in death!¡± Her passion for the Art of Painting was too profound! Hearing this, Nan Feng also gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go have a look!¡± Finally, they slowly ascended the mountain peak and stepped onto the summit. The scene that greeted them instantly captivated the sister¡¯s eyes, causing them to lose themselves for a moment! Chapter 25 - 25 Two More Little Fans_1 Chapter 25 Two More Little Fans_1 Trantor: 549690339 Appearing before Nan Feng and Zi Ling was none other than Li Fan, who was in the midst of painting. Today was an overcast day, without a sunset, yet Li Fan¡¯s passion for painting did not wane; he was currently depicting the vast expanse ofnd before him. In the process of cultivating the Art of Painting among many other techniques, he had long cultivated a calm and detached disposition, able to paint under overcast skies as well as against the backdrop of a morning sun bathed in spring colors. All could be as paintings, all, could be integrated into the Way. Beneath his brush, a series of mountain ranges had already filled the wilds, converging towards the center. Most of the transformation was alreadyplete. Beside his rice paper, Bai Xiaoqing waszily sprawled out, asionally ncing at the painting and meowing several times with each look. It was too difficult; just one nce and she would have to digest it for a very long time. It contained too many principles of the Way! On the other side of the mountain, Nan Feng and Zi Ling were utterly stunned. They were as ifpletely enraptured by the scene of painting before them. ¡°¡This is truly a Painting Saint! His whole being has merged with the Way; wherever he is, there lies an infinite scroll of paintings, and every stroke of his brush is a vessel of the Way of Heaven and Earth!¡± Zi Ling murmured, her eyes wide open, as the silhouette of the man painting thoroughly shook her soul. Meanwhile, the spells within her were rapidly circting, as if racing. Countless insights, blessings upon the soul. She distinctly felt that her understanding of the Art of Painting was quickly bing clearer, many of her mysteries rapidly resolving, many shackles breaking open in an instant. It was as if she were being enlightened! She was entranced! ¡°What kind of person is this? Even the scenes of the ancestors painting left in the sect were not as shocking as this¡¡± Even Nan Feng, a person who did not cultivate the Art of Painting, could feel the extraordinariness. ¡ After a very long time. Li Fan¡¯s painting was finallyplete. On the rice paper, he inscribed the name of the painting: Wan Shan Ju Long Tu. The hidden mountains gather, converging like a dragon. He let out a light breath; after each painting, he would gain something for his soul. ¡°Youzy cat, you really are worldly indeed.¡± He stroked Xiao Bai¡¯s head and turned around, only to discover that two women had arrived on the mountain peak at some point. Two great beauties, no less! Seeing their somewhat dazed expressions, Li Fan felt a bit puzzled. Who were these people? Could they have been enchanted by his handsomeness? ¡°Who might you two be?¡± he asked. Upon hearing his question, both women were slightly startled, returning to their senses. The countless principles and charms of the mountains around them had vanished with Li Fan¡¯s final brushstroke, and now, Li Fan looked as ordinary as could be. But on their faces was an expression of the utmost gravity. ¡°Reporting to senior, my name is Nan Feng, and this is my junior sister, Zi Ling. We were passing by and couldn¡¯t help but watch senior paint. We truly intruded and ask for senior¡¯s forgiveness!¡± Nan Feng spoke respectfully. She understood; although the young man before her looked young, with such skills, he must be an old monster who had lived for countless years. Li Fan, hearing this, also smiled. It seemed these two were enthusiasts who liked painting. Seeing what looked like a painting board on Zi Ling¡¯s back, it seemed to be so. In the realm of painting, Li Fan was quite confident; across the Fire Country, there probably weren¡¯t many who couldpare with him. In this regard, being addressed as senior by the other party wasn¡¯t incorrect. ¡°I see, so you two are also practitioners of this art? That too is a kind of fate.¡± Li Fan smiled. Seeing that Li Fan had not a trace of arrogance and was approachable and gentle, Nan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. This being was too formidable, not to be trifled with. Zi Ling, however, was itching with anticipation, her face filled with excitement as she looked eagerly at Li Fan, nervously saying, ¡°Senior¡ may I look at your painting?¡± She was so eager and curious; the process of painting she had just witnessed had already wholly conquered her. She was even more curious about what a painting by such a senior would look like. ¡°Zi Ling!¡± Nan Feng¡¯s face changed slightly as she spoke in a low voice, saying, ¡°How dare you make such a request¡¡± Zi Ling was too inconsiderate; this was an unfathomably powerful figure, and the paintings, surely imbued with the principles of the Way, were treasures not to be shown lightly. But Li Fan was very casual; taking up the painting, he handed it over, saying, ¡°Feel free to look.¡± Zi Ling was immediately excited. Her little heart pounding rapidly, she hurried forward, took the scroll with both hands, took a deep breath, and then unfurled it! Upon the painting: The mountain range undted endlessly, linking together like a procession of dragons, a hundred dragons converging to form a river, and amidst the majestic expanse, there was a tension as if the mountains were about to transform into dragons and soar! This one painting captured the entirety of the Cangli Mountain Range! This one painting conveyed all its depths and shallows! The organizedplexity and simplicity, the crisp and concise lines. The casual strokes that captured the spirit so perfectly. The painting skills were divine! Zi Ling was utterly intoxicated, as if bewitched, as if drunk! Seeing this scene, Li Fan also felt a bit of pride within himself. After all, gaining another little fan was a good thing. ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡± Meanwhile, as Zi Ling viewed the painting, her cultivation level began to surge wildly! Nascent Soul Fifth Stage! Nascent Soul Sixth Stage! Nascent Soul Seventh Stage! Nascent Soul Ninth Layer¡ Perfection! She was just one step away from stepping into the Divided Spirit Realm. Nan Feng sensed all of this and was utterly stunned and astounded. Heavens! This¡ this was an enormous opportunity and a divine gift. At this moment, Zi Ling also felt a wave of dizziness and a swelling feeling in her brain; she hurriedly closed her eyes. Digesting everything. After a long while, ¡°Sister Nan Feng, you muste and see¡¡± Zi Ling called out to Nan Feng. Only then did Nan Feng step forward, trembling with trepidation. With one nce, she was incredibly shaken. With just a few strokes, the entirety of the Cangli Mountain Range was contained within this painting. The trends of the mountains, the hidden paths, and finally merging into the form of a dragon! It was too clear! With this painting, the Cangli Mountain Range waspletely under control. Earlier, while they were in the Spirit-ss Soaring Ship, they felt only the vast expanse looking down, unable to discern anything else. Yet, this painting clearly and straightforwardly presented the Cangli Mountain Range as if it was being dissected. ¡°Heavens, if he had not personally entered the Cangli Mountain Range, how could he paint it with such rity? Could it be that this senior in front of us is one who has actually emerged from the Cangli Mountain Range alive?!¡± She was petrified with amazement. ¡ªThe Three Absolutes Holy Land was founded by the Three Absolute Immortal in ancient times, so it held many secrets. It was said that within the Cangli Mountain Range, there was a hidden Ascension tform. From the Ascension tform, one could directly enter the Immortal Domain. Historically, those who entered the Cangli Mountain Range either sessfully entered the Immortal Domain or died. The Evesting Ascension tform had no path of return! This was the truth. But this person before them¡ If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Li Fan did not match the record of portraits in the Sect Gate, she might¡¯ve suspected that only the Three Absolute Immortal¡¯s reappearance could possess such ability, right? Nan Feng¡¯s heart was tumultuous like an overturning sea. After pondering for a long time, she took the scroll, took a deep breath, and respectfully handed it back to Li Fan, saying, ¡°Thank you for allowing me to view this, senior!¡± ¡°Meeting is fate; there¡¯s no need for such formalities,¡± Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°As night falls, it¡¯s quite dangerous for you two to stay in this area, and there¡¯s nowhere else around here. If you don¡¯t mind, you cane back to the vige with me.¡± These two youngdies, clearly havinge here with their drawing boards to sketch nature, were caught out as the day grew toote, and Li Fan could not bear to see them sleep rough in the elements. Upon hearing this, Zi Ling and Nan Feng were immediately excited and surprised! ¡°Senior, can we reallye with you?¡± Zi Ling asked, scarcely believing her ears! Chapter 26 - 26 Supreme Dies at the Door_1 Chapter 26 Supreme Dies at the Door_1 Trantor: 549690339 This terrifying senior was actually willing to take the two of them to the ce where he practiced? What an honor it was. It was as if a pauper had suddenly been invited to the Imperial Pce by the Emperor, how thrilled must one be? Although they were from the Holy Land, the highest existence they could encounter within the Holy Land was only the Supreme, but the individual before them was clearly likely to be an existence above the Supreme. After all, even the Supreme-level Painting Saint of the Three Absolutes Holy Land couldn¡¯t possibly make Zi Ling break through her realm in such rapid session with his paintings. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Of course you can.¡± The two followed with great gratitude, not fearing that Li Fan had any malicious intent. After all, if such a senior wanted to harm them, he wouldn¡¯t need to deceive them, a mere flick of his finger, and the two could only wait for death. ¡°The mountain road is a bit rugged, walk slowly.¡± Li Fan took steps down the mountain; in some ces, he even had to use his hands and feet, and Bai Xiaoqing was clung tightly to his chest. Seeing this, Nan Feng and Zi Ling were both taken aback. ¡°This senior¡ this¡¡± Zi Ling was somewhat baffled. For such a figure, shrinkingnd to an inch, chasing stars and catching the moon, wasn¡¯t going anywhere a matter of mere thought? But now, he was descending the mountain like a mortal. ¡°This senior must be beyond the ordinary and holy, and his actions must have a deeper meaning. Let¡¯s follow him,¡± Nan Feng spoke up, taking the lead to follow Li Fan without using a shred of Spiritual Power, step by step down the mountain. Zi Ling also used her hands and feet to descend. By the time they reached the bottom, both were drenched in sweat. ¡°I¡¯ve never thought thating down a mountain could be so exhausting.¡± Zi Ling¡¯s little face was flushed, looking incredibly delicate. ¡°Every step one takes holds its own rewards. The Art of Painting is not only about appreciating the beauty but also about experiencing the hardships,¡± Li Fan spoke, sharing his insights gained from day after day of ascending peaks to paint. Hearing this, Nan Feng and Zi Ling were both shaken. ¡°So this senior was enlightening us!¡± Nan Feng had an epiphany. Zi Ling was also deep in thought, ncing back at the mountain peak. If it were before, without this descent from the mountain, she feared that her painting of this peak would definitelyck much. But after experiencing it herself, she suddenly felt that she could make the entire mountaine more alive! She sensed that her own state of mind had seemingly improved a notch. Such a formidable person indeed. Zi Ling¡¯s gaze towards Li Fan was filled with even more admiration. Nan Feng also showed a deep look of respect on her face, such a supreme existence had actually set an example by descending the mountain barehanded to enlighten two juniors. This was the true hermit of the world. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we need to hurry back to the vige before it gets dark,¡± said Li Fan, taking the lead to move on. The two followed him on their way toward the small mountain vige. ¡ Meanwhile, at this moment. Two streaks of rainbow light sped toward the direction of the mountain vige. ¡°Something¡¯s not right!¡± At that moment, an exmation suddenly rang out, causing both streaks of rainbow light toe to a halt. These two streaks of rainbow light were actually Luoming Supreme and Hongxuan Supreme! They wereing with Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and others. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Brother Luo Ming?¡± Hongxuan Supreme asked, puzzled. Luo Ming¡¯s face, however, was extremely grim as he said, ¡°The emissary of the Evil God¡ may have reached that senior¡¯s residence before us.¡± He produced a mirror, and now the surface of the mirror emitted a red light. ¡°This mirror is called the Demon-Seeking Mirror; as long as it is present, demonic beings within a Thousand Li can be sensed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s now showing that the ce where that senior resides has the aura of the Evil God!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces turned grave. Too fast! The enemy had actually found them directly. ¡°What should we do? We need to warn that senior!¡± Hongxuan Supreme spoke up. ¡°It¡¯s toote, the opponent is faster than us, and judging from the Demon-Seeking Mirror¡¯s reaction, I fear that the emissary of the Evil God this time is stronger than both you and me¡ We can only hope that the senior had already prepared himself!¡± Luo Ming spoke, his face very grim! ¡ Above the mountain vige. Two hovering clouds that had lingered for a while suddenly dispersed, transforming into two terrifying Ghost faces! The Ghost faces scrutinized the mountain vige below for a long time. ¡°No special mechanisms detected, as calm as water!¡± One of the Ghost faces spoke. ¡°Let¡¯s go, annihte swiftly.¡± The other Ghost face replied, and immediately turned into two clouds of ck gas,nding before the mountain vige. Finally, they revealed their true forms¡ªck Yakshas! Their heads fierce and grim, with two long canine teeth protruding directly from their upper jaws, they had tall figures and bodies covered with natural green and ck intertwined demonic patterns. The aura of the two Yakshas was extremely terrifying. Step by step, they entered the mountain vige silently, and finally approached the small courtyard. ¡°It feels¡like a forbiddennd!¡± One Yaksha spoke, his Yaksha eyes shing with green light. ¡°Go, y for our master!¡± They took a step forward. However, merely by approaching, the two Yakshas felt an indescribable pressure! This ce was repelling them! ¡°Such a powerful domain¡to think it can make us Yaksha Generals struggle to approach¡¡± ¡°Go!¡± The two Yakshas continued to advance. With every step they took, the pressure on them grew heavier, their speed slowed even more, and their steps began to falter! ¡°We are Supremes; can we really not even enter?!¡± A Yaksha General roared in anger. They were Supremes, after all, powerful and unmatched. Yet now they were like two ordinary people facing a weight of a thousand jin, unable to move an inch. ¡°My heart races with terror¡what ce is this?! It¡¯s even more dreadful than where our master meditates¡¡± They were only ten steps away from the courtyard door, but they were already drenched in sweat. Both of them were nearly exhausted! They both felt a sense of despair. What kind of ce was this? They couldn¡¯t approach it even if they tried with all their might¡ ¡°We must see what lies within, such an existence hidden here poses too great a threat to our master!¡± The Yaksha General roared, ¡°Burn my Demon Soul!¡± Both of their auras surged dramatically as they ignited their Demon Souls to exchange for utmost power! At the pinnacle of their strength, they could rival an Immortal! With this method, they intended to break in and take a look! Even a glimpse would be worth sending back to their master, worthy even in death! ¡°Roar¡ª¡ª¡± The two Yakshas roared madly, actually managing to get close to the wooden gate of the courtyard! Igniting their Demon Souls for the power of an Immortal was truly extraordinary! The two worked together to push open the wooden gate! Their Yaksha eyes were already open, and everything they saw would be transmitted back to their master in real-time. But, in that instant! No sooner had the Yaksha eyes opened than a huge, terrifying golden w was already striking towards them! The two Yakshas who had ignited their Demon Souls, at the peak of their power, on par with Immortals, were instantly annihted, body and soul! They turned into nothingness! Only two pitch-ck hand bones fell outside the doorway. The wind blew over, and the small courtyard¡¯s door squeaked softly, with the inside and outside of the courtyard falling into extreme silence. ¡ Long after. Two beams of rainbow lightnded in the mountain vige. ¡°Those messengers of the Evil God really came. The Demon-Seeking Mirror has shown their presence, and moreover¡an Immortal-level demonic power has erupted here!¡± Luoming Supreme spoke, shocked. At these words, Hongxuan Supreme and the others all gasped in disbelief! An Immortal-level demonic power had erupted¡ ¡°Did an Immortal-level fierce battle ur here? Is the Senior¡still alive?¡± Hongxuan Supreme said anxiously. ording to the Demon-Seeking Mirror, two messengers of the Evil God hade! Both messengers of the Evil God had unleashed Immortal-level power¡ In the entire Xuantian Realm, who else could withstand such force? Even if Senior Li was an Immortal, there was a risk of him falling. Their faces all turned grim. ¡°Quickly, let¡¯s go and see!¡± Yu Qishui spoke, and the group hurried toward the small courtyard. Before long, they finally arrived outside Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. The door of the small courtyard swung in the wind! ¡°They¡ really attacked Senior Li¡¯s sanctuary?¡± Yu Qishui¡¯s expression was that of shock. Could it be that a world-shaking grand battle had indeed taken ce here? Was the Senior¡still alright? ¡°No, wait¡what is that?¡± It was then that Luoming Supreme¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, pointing at the bones by the door, ¡°Yaksha Bone?!¡± Upon hearing this, Hongxuan Supreme was also astonished, ¡°Supreme-level Yaksha Demon General, remnants of Yaksha Bone after death?!¡± ¡°Two Yaksha Bones¡could it be that both Yaksha Demon Generals died? Died right outside the Senior¡¯s door??¡± He was utterly stunned and horrified! The others, including Yu Qishui and Wei Yushan, were also frozen in astonishment! Chapter 27 - 27 Supreme Beings Must Hold Awe in Their Hearts_1 Chapter 27 Supreme Beings Must Hold Awe in Their Hearts_1 Trantor: 549690339 The two ck finger bones outside the door, at this moment, captured the gaze of everyone present, stunning them into disbelief¡ it was incredible! Did this mean that two Supreme-level Yaksha Demon Generals, after unleashing Immortal-level strength, were unable to even enter the gate and were killed on the doorstep by that senior? It was simply too unbelievable! How strong must one be? They had originally thought that a great Immortal-level battle must have urred, and that the senior might have been injured or even worse. But they had not expected such an oue¡ Supremes dying at the gate¡ ¡°The strength of this senior is really too formidable¡ Not only surpassing the Supreme, but even Immortals would find it hard to contend with him!¡± Hongxuan Supreme eximed in shock. ¡°With such a being, it¡¯s no wonder he dares to plot and wait for the Evil God!¡± Luo Ming also took a deep breath. They understood that they had all underestimated this senior before. After all, they were Supremes from Holy Lands and, to them, Immortals were not an unattainable existence. Hence, while they had respect for Li Fan, they did not fear him. But now it seemed that this senior could even kill Immortals! They couldn¡¯t help but feel fear. And at this moment, a clear voice rang out, ¡°Eh? Qian Ning, you¡¯ve arrived?¡± Mu Qianning and the others, hearing this, turned around to see Li Fan, apanied by two young girls, walking over from another path. Immediately, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit rushed to greet him, saying, ¡°We pay our respects to the senior!¡± Luo Ming Supreme and Hongxuan Supreme were at this point taken aback. This young man before them, was he the one who could y Immortals, whose casual drawing could destroy a Demon Venerable? At a nce, he looked like a mere mortal¡ Even they, esteemed as Supremes, could not see through him in the slightest! Mysterious and unfathomable! ¡°No, wait¡ this senior seems to havee from outside¡ and he shows no signs of having been inbat at all¡¡± Luo Ming felt a slight shock in his heart. ¡°Could it be that those two Yaksha Demon Generals did not encounter this senior? Then¡ how did they end up dead outside the courtyard gate?¡± Hongxuan was surprised as well. The two exchanged nces. Taking a deep breath, Hongxuan immediately said, ¡°Hongxuan of Taiyan Holy Land pays respects to the senior!¡± Even as Supremes, they dared not presume! ¡°Luo Ming of Ziyang Holy Land pays respects to the senior!¡± Luo Ming was equally respectful! Hearing these two speak, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who had been following Li Fan, were once again too shocked to utter a word. They stared at the scene, finding it¡ incredible! ¡°Hongxuan, Luo Ming¡ the two legendary Supremes have appeared¡ and even they show such respect to this senior!¡± Stormy waves surged in Nan Feng¡¯s eyes. Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land were no less mighty than Three Absolutes Holy Land, and the venerable names of Hongxuan and Luo Ming were known throughout the world! What kind of existence was this senior, tomand such respect from these two? Only an Immortal! Had they¡ truly encountered an Immortal?! Seeing their reactions, Li Fan was puzzled; these two seemed to be cultivators as well. What were they doing here? ¡°Why have youe here?¡± He inquired. With respect, Luo Ming said, ¡°Senior Li, your ¡®Great Sun Taoist Map¡¯ is renowned throughout the Southern Territory, known to all; we were longing to meet you and have specificallye for this visit!¡± The ¡°Great Sun Taoist Map¡± he mentioned was the very same one Li Fan had given to Fire Spirit. Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but smile. It seemed that after giving the painting to Fire Spirit, she must have disyed it somewhere, and perhaps even sent it to an auction or such; as a result, its fame had spread. This was why Luo Ming and the others hade. Maybe they were here to buy the painting! This was a good thing indeed; Li Fan, talented as he was, would benefit from selling some of his art. With this thought in mind, Li Fan¡¯s smile deepened, already treating the two as potential buyers of his artwork. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, please apany me to the courtyard for a talk.¡± ¡°Please.¡± Li Fan gestured. Luo Ming and the others said respectfully, ¡°Senior Li, please lead the way; how dare we proceed before you!¡± They were indeed extremely courteous! These people truly understood the value of proper etiquette¡ Li Fan didn¡¯t say much else and walked ahead, noticing the doors open, hemented with a smile, ¡°It seems quite windy today.¡± He then pushed the door open and entered. Luo Ming and Hongxuan became contemtive in an instant. Vastly windy! Was this senior hinting at something? As they followed Li Fan into the courtyard, both Hongxuan and Luo Ming immediately felt an inexplicable oppression! It nearly stifled their breath! ¡°Such a powerful domain¡ terrifyingly formidable, we¡¯re fortunate to be following Senior Li; had we trespassed without permission, we might indeed have ended up with no ce for our corpses.¡± Luo Ming was struck with a sense of relief. Hongxuan nodded in agreement. The domain here felt more frightening than Taiyan Holy Land¡¯s Immortal-level protective great array! ¡°Why do I feel¡ that those two Yaksha Demon Generals¡ perhaps, they were killed by the domain of this ce?¡± He became increasingly suspicious. Both Supremes subconsciously nced toward Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Is that¡ is that a Pantao?!¡± Suddenly, Hong Xuan transmitted his shock, looking at a peach tree beside him! Above that peach tree, there were clearly a dozen crystal-clear Pan Peaches, their fragrance piercingly aromatic, such that merely stepping into the courtyard one could feel bathed in the blessing of a Holy Medicine! ¡°It really is¡ a Pan Peach, isn¡¯t it a sacred object grown in the Immortal Domain?!¡± Luo Ming was astounded. This senior, he actually owns one? Could it be that this senior has descended from the Immortal Domain?! As if sensing the gaze of the two, a surge of energy emanated from the Pantao Tree. ¡°Boom!¡± Instantly, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were both shaken to the core, as if they had witnessed an incredibly terrifying scene, their faces turned pale and they nearly spat out blood! This was a warning! ¡°Don¡¯t¡ don¡¯t look around carelessly, we cannot afford to provoke anything here, spying is not allowed!¡± Luo Ming hurriedly transmitted a reminder! Hong Xuan was shocked to his spirit, lowering his head and not daring to look again. They were Supremes, and yet, just one nce nearly shook their foundational cultivation¡ It seems that this Pantao really is a divine object from the Immortal Domain¡ªand moreover, the Pantao Tree likely had already acquired a spirit. Merely a tree spirit, and its strength was not something even Supremes could provoke! The reverence in their hearts soared! At this moment, Li Fan also spoke, ¡°Everybody please take a seat.¡± He carried out tea from the room and said, ¡°I only have simple tea to offer to guests.¡± Yu Qishui and Mu Qianning¡¯s eyes immediately lit up! They had tasted Senior Li¡¯s tea before. This was another great opportunity! Without hesitation, they both sat down, waiting obediently. Li Fan served tea to each of them. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan hurriedly rose to their feet with respect, receiving it with both hands. Such an entity was serving them tea! It appears, just as Fire Spirit and others had said, this was an invincible Immortal, living here incognito, not fond of revealing his terrifying power. He merely wished to live a life of amon man. This, perhaps, is what a true big shot is?? At that moment, Yu Qishui and others were drinking tea and then they closed their eyes, their faces showing a look of intoxication as they entered a state of Dao. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately felt enlightened; this tea was definitely not simple! They seriously picked up the tea and took a light sip. As the tea touched their lips, suddenly, the essence of Dao filled their senses! It was as if what they drank was not a cup of tea, but a cup of the great Dao of heaven and earth! Upon swallowing the tea, Spiritual Power surged throughout their bodies! In their blood and meridians, minute and ephemeral Rule Fragments, which were dormant, began to awaken and emittedyers of extraordinary light! Rule Fragments were strengthening and forming connections! Their Supreme Realm was gradually bing moreplete! At that moment, both of them werepletely shocked! Simrly, Nan Feng and Zi Ling also closed their eyes at this moment, earnestly contemting, benefiting greatly andprehending their own Dao! After a long while, everyone slowly opened their eyes. Almost all of them had made significant improvements! Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately got up and performed a deep bow! ¡°Many thanks for the great kindness of the senior!¡± They spoke, very earnestly! This cup of tea was too important to them! In fact, both of their paths had almoste to an end, they had been stuck in the Supreme Realm for hundreds of years, unable to advance further. But, just now, the Rule Fragments within them became clearer, moreplete, and even increased in number. It meant that the paths, which they thought were cut off, had been reconnected. For a Supreme, this was akin to being reborn! Such great kindness was more than they could ever repay even with their lives! At the same time, their understanding of Li Fan once again elevated, a cup of tea that could help a Supremeprehend the Dao, was definitely beyond the existence of the entire Xuan Tian Realm. Nan Feng and Zi Ling also performed deep bows, their charming faces filled with excitement because just now, Zi Ling had directly broken through to the Divided Spirit Realm! And Nan Feng, who was originally in the Soul Splitting First Layer, had also advanced to the Third Heavens of Divided Spirit Realm! ¡ª¡ªEnlightenment Tea could directly assist one inprehending the Dao, and breakthroughs in cultivation level were just a byproduct. With this cup of tea, they could all rapidly advance in their cultivation for a long time without any obstacles! Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, meeting here means fate has brought us together, and besides, we are all fellow cultivators.¡± After speaking, he unfolded the painting to show Luo Ming and the others, saying, ¡°This is what I painted today. You¡¯ve alle from afar, take a look if you will!¡± As the saying goes, schrs meet through poetry, chess yers through chess¡ These people hade to visit Li Fan for his paintings, so naturally, they should meet over paintings. Moreover, since they came to buy paintings, it was only proper to let them see before discussing the price. Upon seeing the painting, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan immediately showed amazement in their eyes, fixating on the artwork! Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others also showed shocked expressions! Chapter 28 - 28 The Holy Land as a Pawn_1 Chapter 28 The Holy Land as a Pawn_1 Trantor: 549690339 Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were both shockingly looking at this painting! Wan Shan Ju Long Tu! ¡°Is this¡ the entirety of the Cangli Mountain Range?!¡± Luo Ming was shocked. ¡°At a nce, the whole Cangli Mountain Range is brought to life, its momentum fully disyed. Just for this painting alone, it can be called a priceless treasure¡ Once, a Quasi-Saint Grade sect spent their entire power for the sake of mapping the Cangli Mountain Range, only to end up sacrificing the whole sect¡¡± Hong Xuan muttered hisments! To the entire Xuantian Realm, the Cangli Mountain Range is an existence that can be called forbidden. There, filled with various legends, rted to Immortals and also to death. Only those Supreme Beings with no paths left to take or Almost Immortals who had reached perfection in their realms and sought invincibility dared to break into it. That ce had a kind of magic that attracted countless people to explore. But theplete picture within it remained unknown to anyone. Once, a great power set out in full force just to rify the terrain of the Cangli Mountain Range, but even this act led to the burial of a great sect. This further contributed to the fierce reputation of the Cangli Mountain Range. However, now, a painting that fully depicted the terrain of the Cangli Mountain Range appeared before them¡ ¡°It seems that this senior had known we woulde,¡± Luo Ming spoke, ¡°Therefore, he prepared this painting for us!¡± Hong Xuan also nodded deeply, saying, ¡°No one has evere out of the Cangli Mountain Range alive; now it seems, this senior is truly unimaginable¡ for he emerged from the Cangli Mountain Range unharmed!¡± Seeing the expressions of everyone, Li Fan was also quite satisfied; it seems that they were indeed interested in the painting. However, it wasn¡¯t right for him to directly ask if they wanted to buy it, lest hee off too crass, so he immediately asked, ¡°Is this what you seek?¡± Hearing Li Fan¡¯s question, both Supremes instantly realized: indeed, this senior had anticipated their purpose here, and thus prepared this painting for them! The two hurriedly nodded, saying, ¡°With this painting, many of the doubts in our hearts are resolved, and moreover, it can help us stabilize a great crisis!¡± A great crisis? Li Fan suddenly realized¡ªcould these two be running a painting and calligraphy shop? It was highly possible! It seemed their business faced danger, and they needed a truly valuable treasure to lend support! And his painting was just the right fit. Therefore, they spoke in such a manner. Li Fan nodded and said, ¡°In that case, take it with you¡ª¡± Take it with them? Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were once again surprised. To give away such a precious map, this senior was actually allowing them to take it? ¡°This senior surely had this painting ready for us; it seems he intends to present us with this painting, for us to do something, right?¡± Luo Ming spected. ¡°Since the senior has decreed, there must be a purpose to his actions. We shall ept it as is!¡± Hong Xuan conveyed through a private message. Luo Ming nodded, and the two of them respectfully said, ¡°We thank the senior for bestowing upon us the Dao Map!¡± The two epted it respectfully. But seeing that the two of them took the painting without offering payment or asking for a price, Li Fan was perplexed. Were these two so ignorant of propriety? It seemed he had no choice but to ask for payment himself. He immediately smiled and said, ¡°Cash on delivery, no credit allowed.¡± Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were both stunned. This senior¡ ¡°This senior surely does not want to be involved in karma?!¡± But in just a moment, Luo Ming suddenly had a realization! Hong Xuan also nodded immediately, saying, ¡°Yes, the more terrifying the person, the more they weigh karma! Given theplexity of karma around the Cangli Mountain Range, this senior must not wish to be entangled in it!¡± ¡°So, he needs what is called ¡®money¡¯ to clear the karma!¡± However, now that they understood, the two again became anxious. Cash on delivery, but what kind of ¡®money¡¯ would be considered suitable to such an ancient being? ¡ªIn the Cultivation World, there naturally existed a universal currency, which was the ¡°Spirit Stone.¡± Spirit Stones contained a great amount of spiritual energy and could help cultivators practice swiftly. But was that something useful to this senior? Consider this: the senior was someone whose painting could suppress a Demon Venerable, and even Immortals who wanted to enter his courtyard would be shaken to death alive. ¡°What we need to show to this senior is our sincerity!¡± Luo Ming clenched his teeth, and with a sh of spiritual light in his hand, an ancient embroidered box suddenly appeared. He held the embroidered box respectfully and said, ¡°Senior, this is all of my possessions. Please ept it with a smile!¡± Seeing this, Hong Xuan also realized what was happening, and hurriedly presented an embroidered box as well, saying, ¡°Senior, these are also all that I have. Please don¡¯tugh at me.¡± The two handed them over, their hearts truly filled with anxiety. They had already presented their most precious possessions, but, could their valuepare to Senior Li¡¯s painting? Clearly not. Li Fan saw the two men pass the box over and his eyes instantly lit up. Was it silver, or gold? Quite generous! He smiled, reached out to take it, felt the considerable weight, and ced it on the table, saying, ¡°We¡¯re even now, thank you both foring. If you need anything in the future, feel free to visit.¡± Business, after all, should keep flowing smoothly. But Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were even more startled, it seemed that this senior had already anticipated the events toe. He was arranging a grand scheme! And was everyone, including their own Holy Lands, merely a pawn in this senior¡¯s game? Thinking of this, both men felt a moment of daze but dared not speak a word. ¡°Thank you, Senior, we express our gratitude and will take our leave. We will return another day to pay our respects,¡± Luo Ming spoke up. Now that they had obtained this map, it was of tremendous importance to their Holy Land. Li Fan said, ¡°Good, then I won¡¯t keep you.¡± Luo Ming and Hong Xuan then respectfully took their leave. Having left Li Fan¡¯s courtyard, the two men finally let out a long sigh of relief. ¡°This senior is truly terrifying¡ my back is soaked with sweat!¡± Hong Xuan Supreme could not help but say. ¡°We initially grossly underestimated this senior. Now it seems he is definitely an Immortal, and even among Immortals, his realm is certainly not low¡¡± Luo Ming said, still shaken. ¡°He even has Pan Peaches¡ he could possibly be an elder from the Immortal Domain!¡± Immortal Domain! Hong Xuan was even more shaken, the Immortal Domain, that untouchable ce, throughout history, the prodigies who had stepped into the Immortal Domain were few and far between. A master from the Immortal Domain descending to the mortal world surely had major ns. ¡°Are our two Great Sanctuaries merely pawns in his eyes?¡± Hong Xuan said somewhat in self-mockery. ¡°It¡¯s not just us. Have you not realized, those two young women who came back with Senior Li, are they not from the Central State Three Absolute Sanctuaries?¡± Luo Ming sighed deeply, saying, ¡°Holy Lands as pawns, this game of chess¡ is not only about the Southern Territory. It¡¯s hard to imagine how grand his moves really are!¡± ¡ Inside the courtyard. ¡°Senior, thank you for bestowing the treasure upon us. We¡¯ve now secured a foothold in Fire Country and havee to report to you,¡± Fire Spirit said, bowing deeply. Secured a foothold in Fire Country¡ It seems they¡¯ve sold the painting I gave them for a good price? Perhaps they¡¯ve even opened a small shop of some sort, found a ce where they belong¡ ¡°That¡¯s good to hear. Work hard, and life will always get better if you continue to strive.¡± Li Fan offered his encouragement. But to Fire Spirit and the others, this was a tremendous shock; it was an edict from Senior Li. ¡°Senior Li is telling us to work well for him, and our future will be boundless,¡± they thought, their hearts crystal clear, warming instantly, yearning to find the information Senior Li needed right away. ¡°By the way, Senior, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan have acquired the treasured painting and will surely set off a storm in the Southern Territory. When the timees¡ should we go?¡± Yu Qishui asked. Storms would undeniably brew in the Cangli Mountain Range, danger and opportunity coexisting! And whether to go or not was entirely up to Senior Li¡¯s wishes. Li Fan smiled, their meaning was that Luo Ming and the others would use the painting he gave them to cause trouble? Luo Ming¡¯s business was in jeopardy, and having obtained his painting, they would surely want to make a show of it, perhaps even hold an exhibition or an auction. And since Fire Spirit and the others had apparently also started a small shop, they certainly would want to make an appearance at such events to expand their business. Such a thing must be supported. And their question was, at most, hoping to receive some support from him, perhaps needing calligraphy or paintings to make the event grand. ¡°If you wish to go, go. Should you need anything, I will naturally assist,¡± Li Fan then stated. Fire Spirit and the others were immediately overjoyed; with Senior Li¡¯s words, what fear did they have left?! ¡°Thank you, Senior!¡± With Li Fan¡¯s edict, they too took their leave. Now only Nan Feng and Zi Ling remained in the courtyard. Li Fan looked at the two, smiling, ¡°What are your ns, you two?¡± It was gettingte, and having two beautiful women stay at his ce would be improper. Zi Ling¡¯s big eyes blinked up at Li Fan, and she said nervously, ¡°Senior¡ May I, may I stay and learn to paint with you?¡± ¡ Chapter 29 - 29 A Song_1 Chapter 29 A Song_1 Trantor: 549690339 Zi Ling had nowpletely submitted to the senior before her. From Luo Ming and Hong Xuan¡¯s words, they had already discerned that the person before them was the one who had used a painting to y the Demon Venerable. Now it seemed that his realm was unimaginable; even the Supreme had to show respect. Moreover, Zi Ling was very certain of his achievements in the Art of Painting, within the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land, no one couldpare! So, this was an opportunity. If they could follow by his side, that would be the greatest stroke of fortune from the Immortals. Nan Feng, on the other hand, was slightly shocked and felt uneasy ¨C Zi Ling was too bold. How dare she make such a request to an Immortal? But, deep in her heart, there was also a faint hope. This senior seemed very approachable, and he appeared generous in guiding the younger generation. If Zi Ling really had the chance¡ Li Fan heard this and hesitated slightly. Follow by his side to learn painting? But, he had no ns of taking disciples¡ ¡°System task issued: Impart teachings and take on two disciples!¡± Li Fan was at a loss for words, damn it, it seemed he had no choice in the matter. ¡°Very well, since that¡¯s the case, I shall take you two as my disciples then¡ª¡± Li Fan grudgingly epted. At his words, Zi Ling waspletely stunned; she seemed foolishly incredulous, as if she couldn¡¯t believe it was true. ¡°What? Not happy?¡± Li Fan asked in confusion. ¡°No¡ no¡ I just can¡¯t believe, can¡¯t believe this is real!¡± Zi Ling immediately came back to her senses, she jumped up excitedly, like a child, eximing, ¡°Wow, this is great, this is great! The senior has epted me, the senior has epted me!¡± Her face was flushed with excitement, red like an apple, exceptionally charming. Nan Feng also shook, could it be that the senior had actually agreed to Zi Ling¡¯s request? This was too unexpected! Was this senior so easygoing? It seemed, this truly was Zi Ling¡¯s fortunate encounter with an Immortal! She was sincerely happy for Zi Ling! Although it was said that within the Three Absolutes Holy Land there were painting legacies left by the Three Absolute Immortals, now it seemed that those could notpare with this senior! After all, those legacies were left by the Three Absolute Immortals before they became Immortals, in a certain sense, most people could only cultivate to be Supreme, and most only had the chance to observe, how could thatpare with following and receiving teachings from a true Immortal? Furthermore, in the Sect Gate, Zi Ling, despite her excellent talents, often faced neglect. To leave the Sect Gate and have someone to rely on now, that was extremely favorable indeed. In short, following this senior, was absolutely worth it! As she was celebrating, suddenly, she felt something was off. Had the senior just said, ¡°I shall take you two as my disciples¡±? Two people? Realizing this, her heart skipped a beat. What was this situation¡ She immediately became nervous, somewhat trembling as she said, ¡°Senior¡ You just mentioned, taking¡ taking us two as disciples?¡± Li Fan nodded, ¡°Yes.¡± Nan Feng hesitated briefly, but eventually bit the bullet and said, ¡°Senior, I study the Music Path with the Jiaowei Qin¡¡± This senior had be Saintly through the Art of Painting, she wouldn¡¯t be able to learn, would she have to switch to studying painting? Li Fan looked at her and immediately understood, this girl was worried about a mismatch in expertise! He couldn¡¯t help but reveal a faint smile and said, ¡°May I listen to a piece yed by you?¡± Nan Feng dared not show any disrespect, and immediately nodded, taking the Jiaowei Qin off her back. She then sat down, her slender jade fingers resting on the qin strings. After taking a deep breath, she plucked the strings! The clear and transcendent sound of the qin suddenly rose, as if a gentle breeze wasing forth, apanied by the pitter-patter of a spring, instantly giving one the feeling of inner peace. It seemed as if orioles were singing from distant mountains, drifting and softly chirping in the green valleys, just like the babbling of a stream flowing down a cliff¡ Li Fan even nodded slightly; this girl¡¯s qin music possessed a spirit of ethereality, showing great intuitive understanding in the art of qin. However, he also heard many ws! After a while, Nan Feng finally finished ying, she gently exhaled, and raising her eyes to Li Fan, said, ¡°Senior, I have finished.¡± Zi Ling said with a face full of enrapture, ¡°Sister Nan Feng ys so beautifully!¡± Li Fan smiled and replied, ¡°Your foundation is not bad.¡± ¡°But, you are too rigid in your finger techniques, sacrificing spirit for form, which is a great mistake.¡± Having said that, he walked over and said, ¡°Let me y a tune on your qin.¡± Nan Feng was immediately surprised. Did this senior¡ understand not only painting but also the qin? But then she was a bit puzzled; when she was at the Three Absolutes Holy Land, her master had said that her finger techniques were not yet proficient and standard, so she needed to continue to solidify them. How could this senior suggest that she was limited by her finger techniques¡ Without hesitation, she stood up and respectfully handed the qin to Li Fan. Li Fan took the qin, sat down, and casually stroked the strings. At once, a gentle and invisible sound wave spread out like the flow of water! A casual strum of the qin, and its sound touched the heart! Just a single note stunned both Zi Ling and Nan Feng, their beautiful eyes wide open! The sound of the qin was as refreshing and heartwarming as a spring breeze, as if awakening the soul! Li Fan didn¡¯t stop his hands, continuing to pluck the strings. Suddenly, it was as if a clear sound descended from the heavens! The music of the qin was like a divine spring, flowing out from a delicate immortal, tumbling above the white clouds, soaring among the frosty leaves, elusive like a deity, exquisitely elegant! The essence of the Dao took flight! Nan Feng was as if struck by lightning; with her gaze fixed on Li Fan, she clearly saw essences of the Dao turning into soaring kites beneath his unconstrained techniques, scattering in all directions with the sound waves! The qin had entered the Dao! Just listening to the sound of the qin made her tremble, as if every cell had been awakened, and the dormant soul waspletely revitalized! The Dao within her consolidated, herprehension was sublimating, and her aura was surging! In an instant, she seemed to enter a wondrous Enlightenment Realm! Zi Ling was equally mesmerized; although she could not sense the true subtlety, in her eyes, Li Fan at this moment was like a painting! Merging with the qin, he was so graceful, so natural, so refined and easygoing, yet with dignity¡ Suddenly she thought of a term: Immortal Qi! This senior before her did not need to intentionally disy this; Immortal Qi naturally apanied him, and his transcendental temperament deeply intoxicated her. At this moment, it was as if all troubles had vanished, and she herself was riding on a holy kite, roaming the Star River, overlooking mountains and rivers, with immortal waterfalls passing by her side, and immortal cranes crying in the distance¡ At the very moment Li Fan yed the qin, not only the two of them, but even the Earth Chickens in the courtyard pecking at food suddenly quieted down andy on the ground. In the pond, a school of Golden Carps suddenly stilled, motionless, as if petrified. On the Pantao Tree, the lustrous and tempting Pan Peaches seemed to ripen a bit more, their fragrance even richer, and the branches of the Pantao Tree hung down without wind, as if in slumber¡ Li Fan¡¯s piece finally came to an end. He looked up to see Nan Feng, but found her with her eyes tightly closed, seemingly savoring and reflecting¡ Chapter 30 - ot enough ratings ot enough ratings 286 Chs ADD Chapter 30 rming the Holy Land_1 Trantor: 549690339 After a long while, Nan Feng finally came back to her senses. Slowly opening her eyes, her beautiful pupils were filled with aplex expression. Just by listening to Senior Li¡¯s piece, her understanding of the zither arts had skyrocketed! She even felt that reaching the Hollow Void Realm and even the Mahayana Realm was just around the corner. Li Fan¡¯s performance hadpletely enlightened her; in fact, fragments of Dao that only appeared in the Mahayana Realm had already begun to emerge within her. This could truly be called a great opportunity! At this moment, her respect for Li Fan ran deep. Who exactly was this being who was invincible in the Art of Painting and whose mastery of the zither arts was so profound¡ In the entire Three Absolute Sect, surely no one couldpare with this Senior. Even the zither sounds left by the Three Absolute Immortals of yore, which she had listened to, had only led to some enlightenment and weren¡¯t like now, where it was as though she was being fully illuminated, her vision vastly expanded. ¡°How is it? Now, are you willing to take me as your master?¡± Li Fan smiled. In the realm of the zither arts, he had been tormented by the system countless times, and even across the entire Southern Territory, he was confident enough to fear no one. At this moment, Nan Feng no longer hesitated and knelt directly, saying, ¡°Disciple Nan Feng, greets the Master!¡± Seeing this, Zi Ling was truly overjoyed. With this, the two of them could stay together without being separated. She also knelt down immediately, saying, ¡°Disciple Zi Ling, greets the Master!¡± Li Fan smiled; he had finallypleted the task given by the system. A step closer to bing a Cultivator. ¡°No need for such formalities, rise,¡± he said. He paused for a moment, then added, ¡°You two may stay here for now.¡± Fortunately, the small courtyard had been built ording to the system¡¯s requirements, so it wasrge enough. The two nodded repeatedly. Night fell quickly. Li Fan sat in the courtyard, gazing at the stars twinkling across the sky. He truly didn¡¯t know when he would be a Cultivator. He sighed softly, perhaps he was destined to be just an ordinary person? ¡°Meow-meow~¡± As if sensing the change in Li Fan¡¯s emotions, Xiao Bai in his arms let out a few soft mews and licked Li Fan¡¯s hand in its sleep. ¡°What azy cat.¡± Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but smile. However, the cat¡¯s appearance was getting better and better, its fur shinier, it seemed he wasn¡¯t too bad at raising a cat after all¡ ¡ Meanwhile. Taiyan Holy Land. The Tai Yan Holy Hall was brightly lit today! Outside the hall, several Mahayana Realm Cultivators guarded the ancient temple. From afar, a mysterious light shield could be seen over the entire Taiyan Holy Land, a sign that the Holy Land Defense Formation had been activated! Taiyan Holy Land, one of the two great Holy Lands of the Southern Territory, stands lofty above the clouds, always unchallenged! Since its establishment, the Holy Land Defense Formation had been activated only a handful of times, countable on one hand. Yet today, with no foreign enemies attacking, Taiyan Holy Land was on high alert as if facing a great enemy! Inside the bronze ancient hall. Elders sat facing each other, their auras extremely fearsome. Even supremes like Luo Ming and Hong Xuan could only sit in the middle row. Today¡¯s gathering was exclusivelyposed of Supremes! A total of eight beings, the eight Great Supremes! Among them, four from Taiyan Holy Land and four from Ziyang Holy Land. The foundational strength of the two sects was fully present. Seated at the left was a purple-robed elder. The elder, with a ruddyplexion and white hair, exuded an air of immortality. He was the Saint Master of Ziyang Holy Land, the Primordial Yang Venerable! And facing him was an elder in a ck Daoist robe embroidered with a pattern of the stars and constetions in golden thread. His aura was deep and profound, and his facial features sharp. This elder was none other than the Saint Master of the Taiyan Holy Land, Spirit Transcendence Venerable! The Saint Master has made a move! At this moment, the atmosphere within the ancient hall condensed to an extreme. ¡°Now, the Holy Land¡¯s great formation has been activated, able to conceal the aura of this ce. Even an Evil God would not be able to sense it. You can open that Dao Map now.¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable looked towards Luo Ming and Hong Xuan. Besides the two of them, the gazes of the other six Venerables all rested upon them. Everyone¡¯s expression was extremely solemn, with eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. What kind of Dao Map required the protection of the Holy Land¡¯s great formation to be unveiled? Generally speaking, unless it involved major opportunities and causations that would attract the prying eyes of powerful beings, there would be no need for such stringent defenses. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan exchanged nces, both standing up solemnly. ¡ª¡ªThey had raced from the outer fringes of the Cangli Mountain Range without daring to stop for a moment, for fear of attracting the scrutiny of existences like the Evil God. At their level, they were acutely aware that in this world, some things, once they appear, could bring about a storm of change. Especially that Dao Map bestowed by Senior Li! In Senior Li¡¯s courtyard, with Senior Li present, no one could or dared to pry, but outside that ce, it was a different story. Thus, even upon reaching the Holy Land, they did not dare to reveal it, and strongly requested the Saint Master to intervene and activate the Holy Land¡¯s great formation. ¡°This map, it concerns the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± Luo Ming took out a palm-sized rolled-up painting from his sleeve, his eyes grave, and said, ¡°It depicts the grandeur of the Cangli and outlines the path to ascension to immortality!¡± Upon finishing his words, he loosened his hand, and the rolled-up painting instantly unfurled! In an instant, everyone¡¯s gaze converged upon the scroll. In that moment within the grand hall, a look of extreme shock appeared on everyone¡¯s face! Within the grand hall, there was absolute silence! The Saint Masters of both the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land couldn¡¯t help but stand up immediately, their eyes glued to the painting, unable to utter a single word! It was dead silent! Everyone was dumbstruck! It wasn¡¯t until a long, long whileter¡ ¡°This painting portrays the terrain of the Cangli Mountain Range. It is so clear, so direct, so simple and concise¡ I suddenly understand why the Cangli Mountain Range is a forbidden area!¡± ¡°Indeed, looking at this painting, the Cangli Mountain Range itself is a huge formation for bing an immortal. Mountains converge to form a dragon, such grandeur, such grandeur!¡± ¡°No wonder even Venerables risk nine deaths and one life when entering. Such a terrain can make an immortal, but, likewise, it can y an immortal!¡± For a time, countless Venerables were speaking out! They were extremely earnest; this paintingpletely surpassed their imagination! And now, Primordial Yang Venerable, the Saint Master of the Taiyan Holy Land, took in a deep breath and suddenly waved his hand, calling out towards the exterior of the grand hall, ¡°Activate the Mountain Protection Array at full power, full power!¡± The formation at full power! Everyone¡¯s expression changed. The current defensive formation of the Taiyan Holy Land had only been partially activated, which was already quite astonishing; and now, they were going to activate it fully? Just how important was this painting? Could it be that even the defensive part of the Holy Land Defense Formation might not be able to conceal the great opportunity and causation within? ¡°It¡¯s fitting to activate the entire formation. This map is too important; it¡¯s highly possible that it involves an ancient secret!¡± ¡°It concerns the path to immortality, the safety of the Xuantian Realm!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable too, had an exceedingly grave expression on his face! Hearing this evaluation, the others were even more shocked. This was too terrifying! Following Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯smand, as the Taiyan Holy Land¡¯s great formation was fully activated, an inexplicable aura filled the area! Inside the hall. ¡°With this Dao Map, the countless eras of secrets hidden within the Cangli Mountain Range finally have the hope of being unveiled¡¡± Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s eyes were brimming with unprecedented solemnity as he looked at Hong Xuan Venerable and asked, ¡°Hong Xuan, where did this mape from?!¡± Everyone was exceedingly concerned with the answer! Chapter 31 - 31 Cangli Mountain Range, Open!_1 Chapter 31 Cangli Mountain Range, Open!_1 Trantor: 549690339 ¡°` ¡°Where exactly does this mape from?¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were on Luo Ming and Hong Xuan. Hong Xuan articted each word clearly, saying, ¡°To report to the Saint Master and fellow daoists, this mapes from the hand of a reclusive figure of unrivaled prowess!¡± ¡°He is the one who, just a few days ago, used a Great Sun Taoist Map to obliterate the existence of the Lihuo Demon Venerable!¡± On hearing this, all those in the great hall gasped in shock! ¡°To obliterate the existence of a Demon Venerable!¡± ¡°No wonder, no wonder¡ An existence that surpasses a Supreme, only that senior could have such boldness¡¡± ¡°He was actually able to draw the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu, it seems, we have all underestimated him!¡± The crowd began discussing among themselves. The Spirit Transcendence Venerable¡¯s expression grew even graver, saying, ¡°Looking at it now, there must be great secrets hidden within the Cangli Mountain Range, for Supremes who enter there have only to either barely survive to ascend to the path of immortality and depart, or they face a certain death with no way out¡ Could that senior actuallye from within the Cangli Mountain Range?¡± He posed each question deliberately, ¡°Could this senior be an Immortal?!¡± Could he be an Immortal! The faces of everyone present were filled withplex expressions. To be an Immortal, throughout the entire Xuantian Realm, even over a thousand years, it is rare to encounter even one. Moreover, once one bes an Immortal, one can ascend to the Immortal Domain and will not remain in the world for long; hence, many Immortals only have a brief opportunity to leave behind their heritage in Holy Lands before they depart. Therefore, it can be said, the Xuantian Realm today is a ce where Supremes are revered! If an Immortal truly has appeared, then whoever it may be, they must pay great attention! It could very well be an event that affects the entire Xuantian Realm. Upon hearing this, both Hong Xuan and Luo Ming showed a hint of self-mockery on their faces. ¡°At first, we also thought that this senior might be an Immortal.¡± Luo Ming spoke up, saying, ¡°But in reality, it seems that this senior¡¯s strength is definitely above that of an Immortal!¡± ¡°Because, even the messenger of the Evil God, a Supreme Demon General, when burning his Demon Soul to unleash Immortal-level power, failed to breach that senior¡¯s dwelling together with another, even when they joined forces.¡± ¡°Merely that senior¡¯s dwelling has the power to kill an Immortal!¡± Hiss! The crowd in the hall collectively inhaled sharply. An existence that surpasses Immortals! Isn¡¯t that too terrifying? ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine¡ what kind of background this might be¡¡± ¡°Above the Immortals, when did such an existence appear in our Xuantian Realm?¡± ¡°Could it be one of the legendary Earthly Immortals who have always remained in the mortal world?¡± The crowd was full of questions and doubts! Hong Xuan shook his head, saying, ¡°This senior is very likely a powerful being from the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°Because¡ he has a Pantao Tree!¡± He has a Pantao Tree! Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with an astonishing numbness! The Pantao Tree¡ That is an Immortal Seed, only seen in the Immortal Domain¡ Now, someone has actually nted it in the mortal world? ¡°It seems, this truly is a powerful Immortal from the Lower World!¡± The Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke with utmost seriousness, ¡°Only this could exin this painting¡¡± The Primordial Yang Venerable nodded, saying, ¡°With this in mind, it seems this Immortal could be plotting for the entire Cangli Mountain Range!¡± ¡°He bestows the Dao Map¡ what exactly does he want to do?¡± Everyone was specting. ¡°` ¡°Two Saint Masters, fellow Daoists,¡± At this time, Luo Ming continued to speak, ¡°In my view, this senior certainly did notck strategies. Since he has bestowed upon us the Dao Map of the Cangli Mountain Range, it must be to facilitate our entry into it!¡± ¡°This also means that the great anomaly of the Cangli Mountain Range is very likely about to ur.¡± Listening to Luo Ming¡¯s words, everyone¡¯s expressions turned solemn. This could be the only exnation! Just at that moment, outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a rainbow light almost at the Supreme level approached rapidly and finally stopped. The arrival was an elder who spoke loudly, ¡°Report to the Saint Master quickly, the Cangli Mountain Range, the earth splits open, the mountains copse, anomalies abound, and something undetectable has emerged!¡± This was a Sub-Honored level figure of the Taiyan Holy Land, who had been keeping watch over the Cangli Mountain Range. Upon receiving the news, he came to report at the fastest speed! His voice reverberated throughout the Taiyan Holy Land. Within the ancient bronze hall, where the eight Supremes were in closed-door discussion, all their faces changed upon hearing the news! They all looked towards Luo Ming in unison, their eyes filled with aplex and indecipherable light! He had been right; something indeed had happened to the Cangli Mountain Range! ¡°It seems that everything truly was in that senior¡¯s calctions. We just obtained the Dao Map, and the Cangli Mountain Range has begun to split open, with something emerging¡¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable¡¯s old eyes held some disbelief, as the calctions were too precise! What existence could it be? ¡°Quickly put away the Dao Map! We must activate the great formation.¡± Primordial Yang Venerable reminded. Now, with the anomaly having urred, the two great Holy Lands could not remain indifferent. Luo Ming Supreme swiftly put away the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu. ¡°Saint Master, what should we do now?¡± A Supreme asked. ¡°The Cangli Mountain Range is a matter that concerns the entire Xuantian Realm. We, located in the Southern Territory, are the first to be affected and cannot shirk our responsibility!¡± Primordial Yang Venerable spoke gravely, ¡°Originally, to face all of this, even with the current power of our two Holy Lands, we would probably be somewhat strained. But now, since there is an Immortal strategizing behind the scenes, perhaps we have a chance¡¡± ¡°Saint Master, how can you be sure that this senior from the Immortal Domain has good intentions and isn¡¯t just trying to use us?¡± A Supreme couldn¡¯t help but speak up. Primordial Yang Venerable chuckled self-deprecatingly, ¡°For two reasons. First, to the strong ones above the Immortals of the Immortal Domain, although we are all Supremes, I fear we are nothing more than ants, with no value to be exploited!¡± ¡°Secondly, facing the anomaly within the Cangli Mountain Range, we have no choice but to follow this senior¡¯s calctions.¡± ¡°Moreover, I feel that this senior must have good intentions; otherwise, he would not have bestowed the Enlightenment Tea, which is hard even for Immortals to obtain, on Hong Xuan and Luo Ming to continue their broken path to Supreme!¡± He nced at Luo Ming and Hong Xuan, ¡°Therefore, I believe this senior!¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan nodded even more, their eyes showing admiration, ¡°That senior is extraordinary and transcendent, certainly not of a wicked nature; he is worth trusting!¡± Having only met him once, they were already convinced by the senior¡¯s demeanor. ¡°Good, if that is the case, then let us take action!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable finally said, ¡°We will immediately organize a team to explore the Cangli Mountain Range, and at the same time, send out messages to the Central Province, Northern Border, Eastern Wilderness, and Western Desert regions!¡± ¡°This matter is significant; it¡¯s absolutely not something our Southern Territory can withstand alone!¡± Everyone nodded gravely. ¡°Additionally, we should also contact our ancestors in the Immortal Domain¡ This matter is too great, especially as it involves beings from above the Immortal Domain!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions grew even more solemn. ¡ That day, the Southern Territory was shaken! The Cangli Mountain Range experienced a massive tremor, thend split open, the mountains copsed¡ Countless mystical beasts fled from within, once again impacting the surrounding nations! Above the Cangli Mountain Range, there were even more wonders whose myriad dark clouds spanned the sky, with numerous demonic shadows howling¡ The entire Southern Territory was in an uproar! Utterly in an uproar! Chapter 32: Master, I Want Another Bowl_1 Chapter 32: Master, I Want Another Bowl_1 Trantor: 549690339 Cangli Mountain Range. Overnight, this ce seemed to have shifted realms; at a nce, countless mountains had copsed, the earth had cracked open with fissures stretching outwards, terrifyingly unending. Above the shattered earth, dark clouds loomed, with the roars of terrifying beasts intermittently piercing the sky. It was as if it had transformed into and of Asuras. And at this moment. The entire Southern Territory. Countless powerful beings were racing toward the Cangli Mountain Range with great haste. The news of what had happened there tugged at everyone¡¯s hearts. Not only that, many ancient teleportation arrays had been activated. These ancient arrays were left behind by the various Holy Lands for mutual aid and would be activated in times of crisis threatening the survival of the Xuantian Realm. Many ns and families of the Holy Lands would thene to assist via these arrays. ¡ At this moment. Li Fan, having slept soundly through the night, woke up. Gently rubbing Bai Xiaoqing in his arms, Li Fan smiled and stretched leisurely. On the table,id the money given by Luo Ming and Hong Xuan. ¡°I haven¡¯t checked how much money they gave.¡± Li Fan approached, ready to take a look. It felt heavy, surely it couldn¡¯t be too little. However, upon opening it, he was instantly taken aback. Inside the two brocade boxes, were luminous and translucent ¡°stones¡±! Atop the stones seemed to hover a white mist. Li Fan was stunned; this wasn¡¯t gold, nor was it jewelry¡ Could these actually be the legendary Spirit Stones?! Li Fan instantly understood! Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were likely cultivators. And for them, so-called gold and silver were useless; Spirit Stones were their ¡°money.¡± Thus, they had given him Spirit Stones. Thinking this, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but show a delighted smile; even as a mortal, he understood the value of Spirit Stones. They were very important to cultivators. And these Spirit Stones were probably¡ the lowest grade, inferior Spirit Stones? Even inferior Spirit Stones were quite sufficient. At that moment, Bai Xiaoqing also leapt onto the table, and upon ncing at the ¡°inferior Spirit Stones¡± in the box, was utterly astounded. Meow¡ so many Immortal Stones? This is way too generous! Evening from the White Tiger Imperial n, one rarely saw so many Immortal Stones in the n¡ Those were meant for immortals! In the entire Xuantian Realm, only some Great Holy Lands had such treasures. ¡°Do you like these stones too?¡± Li Fan patted Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s head, smiling as he closed the brocade box. Let¡¯s keep them, for use when we can cultivate in the future. Stepping out of the courtyard, he saw that Nan Feng and Zi Ling were already waiting at the door. ¡°Master¡ we, we wanted to fetch some water to wash our faces, but¡¡± Nan Feng began uneasily. They had gone to draw water but found that it was a Divine Spring¡ªmerely approaching the well made them too daunted to draw closer, for it was far too sacred. So, they didn¡¯t know where else to fetch water from. Hearing this, Li Fan chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± The well was a bit too deep for two delicate girls indeed. He led them to the edge of the spring, calmly set down the bucket, and drew up a full pail of water. ¡°Warm it up before washing. I¡¯ve already split the wood over there.¡± Li Fan pointed to a pile of wood. But, Zi Ling and Nan Feng were dumbstruck, shocked that this elder was intending to use such a divine spring for washing his face?! Heaven¡ This was sheer extravagance¡ And the wood for the fire, it was Xuanhuo Wood¡ What sort of wealth did this person possess? Zi Ling was stunned momentarily, but quickly recovered, eagerly responding, ¡°As you wish, Master!¡± She held the water and ran back and forth. ¡°Sister,e quickly, oh my goodness, washing my face with Holy Spring Water? I¡¯ve never been this extravagant before, this must be so nourishing for the skin!¡± As she spoke, she quickly started a fire. Once the water was heated, the two of them washed their faces, and the moment the hot Holy Spring Water touched their skin, their appearances became even more radiant, as if their skin was made of the finest cream. ¡°This Holy Spring Water¡ I¡¯m almost tempted to drink it!¡± Zi Ling¡¯s eyes went wide with desire. Just washing her face, she felt as if her skin and bones had undergone a transformation. If she could take just a sip, she might breakthrough on the spot, right? ¡°Don¡¯t¡ don¡¯t embarrass our teacher.¡± Nan Feng took a deep breath and said, ¡°Zi Ling, we, we have to forget all about our poor life in the Holy Land and start getting used to¡ getting used to everything here.¡± As she said this, she herself found it somewhat hard to ept; after all, the two of them were from the Holy Land, butpared to this ce, they seemed no better than beggars. ¡°Are you done washing your faces?¡± Li Fan came over and smiled, ¡°Pour the water into the vegetable garden, don¡¯t waste it, and thene over for breakfast.¡± Hearing Li Fan¡¯s words, they immediately carried the water over to the small vegetable garden, but upon seeing the ¡°vegetable garden,¡± both of them were once again astonished. ¡°The Senior said¡ this is a vegetable garden? This¡ the poorest among these must be Holy Medicines, right?¡± Zi Ling was dumbfounded. In the garden, cabbages, bok choys, radishes, and such were growing impressively well! But Nan Feng and Zi Ling could see that these cabbages, bok choys, and the like, all had a natural charm and were infused with the terrifying aura of Holy Spirit! This was clearly a medicinal patch, nted with unimaginably holy items. ¡°No wonder it needs to be watered with Holy Spring¡¡± Nan Feng¡¯s expression wasplex as she poured the water from the basin into the garden. After they finished, they returned to the stone table where Li Fan had already prepared breakfast. ¡°The earth chickens haven¡¯t beenying eggs diligently these past days, so we¡¯ll have to settle for vegetable porridge. There are no eggs, so let¡¯s make do with this for now.¡± Li Fan smiled, handed chopsticks to them, and began to eat. They picked up their bowls, smelling the richly fragrant vegetable porridge! That was the scent of Holy Medicine! ¡°Sister, am I dreaming?¡± Zi Ling looked at Nan Feng with a trembling voice. That¡¯s Holy Medicine¡ even a single leaf or a section of the stem would be treasured in the Three Absolutes Holy Land and would be used with great care, typically in concocting Holy Elixirsbined with other herbs¡ Yet here, it was just a breakfast? This was too frightening¡ Holding her bowl, Nan Feng also found it absurd, it was something you couldn¡¯t even beg for in the Holy Land¡ ¡°Eat up, it won¡¯t taste good once it turns cold.¡± Li Fan filled a bowl for Xiao Bai, then started eating as well. Meow meow¡ Shocked, right? What Holy Land, what noble family, in front of the master, are all lifestyles of beggars¡ Bai Xiaoqing held her own bowl with her little paws and began to eat. Exchanging nces, Nan Feng and Zi Ling couldn¡¯t believe it; even the pets were eating Holy Medicine! They felt as if the life they had lived before wasn¡¯t fit for humans. Cats had it better than humans. After a mental struggle, they finally epted the reality that they were about to transition from a beggar-like existence to a life of luxury. Then, they began to eat their porridge! The sweet porridge melted in their mouths! And then, spiritual energy exploded! Holy spiritual energy cleansed their entire bodies! Boom! Their auras surged dramatically at that moment! Nan Feng directly broke through to the Divided Spirit Eighth Heaven! Zi Ling also made her breakthrough to the Divided Spirit Seventh Heaven. After finishing a bowl of porridge, the two sisters¡¯ spirits soared with joy! ¡°Teacher, I want another bowl!¡± Zi Ling held out her bowl, looking at Li Fan eagerly. ¡°Teacher, I want another bowl too!¡± Nan Feng, too, lost all semnce of restraint in that moment; this was an unparalleled opportunity. Bai Xiaoqing was taken aback for a moment; were these sisters really so shameless? She couldn¡¯t resist rubbing her head against Li Fan as well, ¡°Meow meow~~¡± ¡ Chapter 33 - 33 Earthquake?_1 Chapter 33 Earthquake?_1 Trantor: 549690339 By the time all the porridge in the pot was gone, the breakfast had finallye to an end. Li Fan smiled, the two girls, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, looked gentle anddylike, but who would have guessed that they were also big eaters. Even Xiao Bai had been led astray by them; today, it actually had two bowls of porridge. He suddenly became a little worried; Xiao Bai wouldn¡¯t turn into a big fat cat, would it? After eating, he brewed a pot of tea, carried it out, and sat down on the stone chair, thoroughly rxed, with a handful of corn kernels in his hand, asionally sprinkling some towards the Earth Chickens. The Earth Chickens bustled around the corn kernels. ¡°Sister¡ I, I feel like these Earth Chickens are a bit strange¡¡± Zi Ling looked at the Earth Chickens, herrge eyes somewhat dizzy. Those chickens were clearly not ordinary; just one nce at them exerted a sense of oppression! ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ but, whatever teacher raises, it¡¯s definitely not ordinary; it¡¯s very likely some Divine Beast, right? Haven¡¯t you noticed? The Holy Medicine he uses to feed the chickens¡¡± Nan Feng spoke with aplex expression. It really was true thatparing people can infuriate others. Back in the Holy Land, they were also the favored children of heavens, usually feeling somewhat superior, for they could ess better resources within the Sect Gate. Compared to those ordinary forces, they were considered high and unattainable. But now, even the cat and a bunch of Earth Chickens that Senior Li casually raised¡ ate better than the Supremes of their Holy Land. If this got out, how many Supremes would die of anger? However, thinking about how she and Zi Ling had now be disciples of this Senior, receiving such a tremendous opportunity, she couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. ¡°After eating, it¡¯s time to practice. Zi Ling, your task today is to paint this chicken egg!¡± Li Fan took out a fist-sized chicken egg from the chicken nest and handed it to Zi Ling. Zi Ling received the ¡°chicken egg¡± but was somewhat stunned. Did Senior Li refer to this as a chicken egg? Shocked, Nan Feng murmured, ¡°This egg contains boundless Fire Spirit Power, resembling a dormant volcano, and there seem to be traces of me patterns on the eggshell¡ what exactly is this egg?¡± ¡°I feel like what I¡¯m holding in my hands is a Supreme¡¡± Zi Ling was close to crying with fear; what kind of ferocious beast¡¯s egg was this that was already terrifying without even hatching¡ What¡¯s critical is that before, during porridge, Senior Li seemed to say that recently the Earth Chickens weren¡¯tying frequently, hence there were no eggs avable and they could only eat vegetable porridge¡ So this kind of egg, Senior Li eats often¡ What kind of terrifying creatures has he raised toy eggs! ¡°What? Unwilling to do it?¡± Seeing Zi Ling zoning out, Li Fan frowned and said, ¡°The most important thing about painting is the foundation, and foundation is actually about seeing through the appearance to the essence. When a simple chicken egg can be painted by you tens of thousands of times to perfection, then you should have truly seen through the essence of the object you wish to paint.¡± ¡°That¡¯s when the foundation will be considered solid.¡± He patiently instructed, as Zi Ling was also somewhat spirited. Since he had taken her as a disciple, he ought to take responsibility for her tutge. Hearing this, Zi Ling promptly nodded and said, ¡°Zi Ling understands.¡± She immediately set up paper, ink, and brushes on a nearby stone table, ced the ¡°Earth Chicken egg¡± in front of her, and began observing and painting. ¡°Nan Feng, pour tea for your teacher, and then y a tune,¡± Li Fan saidfortably while seated. Nan Feng promptly came forward and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Li Fan, the steaming fragrance instantly calming her mind. Respectfully handing the tea to Li Fan¡¯s side, she then went aside and began to y music. In the small courtyard, under the peach tree, Li Fan leisurely savored his tea. By his ear, a beautiful woman yed music. Before his eyes, a young girl painted. Li Fan suddenly felt a profound sense of satisfaction; even among the strong Cultivators, not many could experience such happiness, right? After a long while, Nan Feng finished her tune, and Zi Ling also filled a piece of paper with drawings of the chicken egg. Li Fan offered a few pointers to both, each of them receiving insight like a sudden enlightenment. ¡°Knock knock knock.¡± Just then, the sound of knocking emerged. Chapter 34 The Three Absolutes Holy Land? What’s that?_i Chapter 34 The Three Absolutes Holy Land? What¡¯s that?_i Trantor: 549690339 I Little mountain vige. Li Fan, along with Zi Ling and Nan Feng, walked to the entrance of the vige. Approaching the vige entrance, Li Fan looked toward the mountains and was somewhat stunned. Nan Feng and Zi Ling were even more dumbfounded by the scene before them. At a nce, countless mountain ranges had copsed, the earth had cracked, as if struck by a terrifying disaster! Forests had toppled, rubble was everywhere, and a faint stench of blood was in the air, clearly indicating a massive cmity, with countless lives lost. ¡°Heavens, what on earth happened? Did divine spirits unleash a heavenly punishment? Otherwise, how could such power be manifested¡¡± Nan Feng murmured to herself. ¡°It¡¯s too horrifying, thank goodness, thank goodness we were in the little mountain vige, otherwise, we might have died the instant the disaster struck!¡± Fear was written all over Zi Ling¡¯s wide eyes. At that moment, they suddenly understood why they had encountered Li Fan that day and why he had brought them back here. It was all calcted, foreseeing the imminent disaster and saving their lives. ¡°Sister, howe we didn¡¯t sense such a huge disaster at allst night¡¡± At the same time, Zi Ling was also full of confusion. But Nan Feng looked at Li Fan withplex emotions, saying, ¡°With the teacher here, even natural cmities wouldn¡¯t dare to approach his vicinity!¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed? Within thousands of miles, only this little mountain vige still remains unchanged, as if nothing happened at all, and the vigers had a sound sleep,pletely unaware of the outside world.¡± ¡°Just by residing here¡ the teacher made the natural disaster dare not to invade!¡± Upon hearing this, Zi Ling¡¯s mouth hung open wide. Their gazes toward Li Fan were filled with such admiration! This is the air of an extraordinary master, so indifferent, doing nothing, yet all cmities can¡¯t evene close. ¡°One can imagine thatst night, these exotic and rare beasts must have felt that this was the only Pure Land, hence they sought to break in for refuge.¡± ¡°But without Senior Li¡¯s permission, those terrifying beasts, which even the Supreme entities would dread, couldn¡¯t step a foot into the vige and were killed instead.¡± Nan Feng gazed at the pile of various bird and beast corpses a few hundred meters from the vige! The exotic animals piled up like mountains, a sight that was indeed soul-stirring at one nce. There was and turtle as big as a house, its shell extremely tough with various patterns on its back. There was a giant blue bird with wings wide enough to amodate dozens of people, with each feather resembling an iron fan. There were also several four-footed beasts asrge as elephants, their hide as thick as a wall¡ All sorts of extraordinary spirit beasts that one had never seen before were now dead around them. It was as if, under the drive of some terrifying existence, they had rushed towards the mountain vige but died outside of it. ¡°These birds and beasts are such rare sights; they must be delicious.¡± ¡°Eat what, the hell, their meat can¡¯t even be cut with a knife, I bet it won¡¯t even cook properly?¡± ¡°Our steel knives are already damaged; thankfully, Little Li forged a few kitchen knives for us, they¡¯re really handy!¡± The vigers were all gathering around those beasts, cutting them up. For the vigers, hunting was always a means of gathering supplies for survival, and now with so many carcasses due to an earthquake, it was truly a gift from the heavens. Even if some looked inedible, they could be cut out forter use. ¡°Everyone, work hard, cut up all this good meat, dry it into jerky, enough tost us till next year!¡± Someone was shouting loudly. ¡°It¡¯s just too¡ too brutal, the Mammoth Beast, the Great Blue Peng, the Three-Yuan Turtle¡ these are all Sub-Honored level spirit beasts, and now, they are going to be cut up for jerky?¡± Hearing this shout, Zi Ling could hardly believe it! Any of these fierce beasts, should they appear in the outside world, would cause bloodshed and chaos, indomitable unless a Supreme being intervened. Yet, they were now food for a group of mountain folks? If this were told, who would believe it¡ ¡°All of this, it¡¯s all because of the teacher!¡± Nan Feng spoke gravely. Both of them gazed deeply at the figure of Li Fan. However, at this moment, Li Fan himself was troubled. Damn it¡ why was there an earthquake. Thankfully, the little mountain vige he was in somehow avoided the disaster! Blessings be to the Heavens. However, looking at the situation, if an aftershock or something simr urred, the ce he was in would likely not escape unscathed. Moving would be safer¡ But damn it, living here was a task from the System. This was a real pitfail. ¡°Little Li, you¡¯re so experienced and knowledgeable, what do you make of this? We¡¯re not going to have any problems here, right?¡± An elder in the vige asked Li Fan. Seeing the scene outside, the vigers were after all somewhat fearful. Li Fan thought about it and then shook his head, saying, ¡°Everyone needn¡¯t worry, this ce is safe.¡± The System had allowed him to reside here, so it presumably wouldn¡¯t let him die in this ce, would it? Otherwise, what was the point of ying? Therefore, Li Fan believed there should be no problem here. Upon hearing this, everyone also felt a slight relief; Li Fan held significant prestige among them. ¡°The teacher is truly calm!¡± Nan Feng and Zi Ling were even more impressed. Just at that moment. In the sky, a huge flying ship was rapidly approaching! ¡°ording to the Soul Guiding Lamp, Nan Feng and Zi Ling should be around here!¡± Aboard the ship, Ao Ming and Zhu Xin, looking at the two flickeringnterns, spoke excitedly. Behind them followed a few elders, emitting terrifying auras. ¡°Nan Feng Ziling,e out and meet your death!¡± They immediately roared down below! Simultaneously, the flying ship also rapidly approached from above. The roar of Ao Ming reached the little mountain vige below. The countless vigers who saw a flying shipnding were all astonished. ¡°A flying ship?¡± ¡°Are these cultivators? Heaven, we mustn¡¯t provoke them!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, why would cultivatorse to our ce?¡± The vigers grew a bit panicked. Zi Ling and Nan Feng¡¯s expressions changed. ¡°It¡¯s Ao Ming and his group!¡± Nan Feng spoke in a low voice. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Fan also asked Nan Feng. Nan Feng immediately replied, ¡°Reporting to the teacher, we were originally from the Three Absolutes Holy Land. Not long ago, our teacher who taught us the Art of Qin and Painting passed away, instructing us to search for fortunes in this region. However, inside the Sect Gate, some have been targeting us¡¡± ¡°Their arrival likely portends ill intentions¡¡± Li Fan was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Three Absolutes Holy Land? What¡¯s that?¡± Nan Feng appeared somewhat shocked; how could Senior Li not know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land? But then, she quickly realized the only reason Senior Li wouldn¡¯t know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land: he must have been out of touch with world affairs for many years, hence entirely unaware of the rise of a new holynd. After all, even though the Three Absolutes Holy Land might be renowned in the Xuan Tian Realm, to Senior Li, they were probably no more than ants¡ She immediately exined cautiously, ¡°The founder of our Holy Land was quite distinguished in the fields of music, painting, and calligraphy, which led to the establishment of the Holy Land. People within the Holy Land cultivate these three arts¡¡± She dared not utter the words ¡°Three Absolute Immortal,¡± because who would dare to use the word ¡°absolute¡± in front of this senior? What did an immortal count for? Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood. It was just some sect formed by artistic youths! And they even presented it as a grand ¡°Holy Land,¡± basically simr to the music enthusiasts¡¯ club or calligraphy society from his past life¡ Since it was merely such an organization, Li Fan was reassured. Such hobbyist organizations were generally amenable. After all, Li Fan believed no one had greater mastery in music, calligraphy, or painting than him! If things got serious, they could just have apetition, and once the opponent conceded, that would be that. Thus, he stepped forward, ready tomunicate with these people. However, before he could speak, Ao Ming, Zhu Xin, and a line of experts aboard the flying ship were all staring with stunned, wide-eyed shock at the scene before them. ¡°What are those? Are they the Three-Yuan Turtle, the Mammoth Beast, the Great Blue Peng¡?¡± Ao Ming was astonished uponnding. ¡°No, the whole Cangli Mountain Range has copsed; why is this ce untouched?¡± Zhu Xin was full of confusion. And behind them, an elder with gray hair was staring in shock at a peasant woman in front of him! That peasant woman was chopping at the shell of a Three-Yuan Turtle with a kitchen knife! The shell was being neatly sliced off with each chop! Hiss! The elder gasped in astonishment; from such a distance, he could distinctly feel the horrifying aura contained in that knife! How could it be that the shell of the Three-Yuan Turtle, which even the Supreme had difficulty shattering, was being cut through like tofu dregs under this knife? What in the world was dealing with them? ¡°Hurry, hurry, leave¡ There¡¯s immense terror here, immense terror!¡± The elder cried out in panic, hastily maneuvering the flying ship! In an instant, the Yu Kong Flying Ship ascended into the sky, speeding off, turned into a streak of light, and vanished.R¨ºa?t??st ch??pters on n??/v/??/l(b)i??(.)c??m Li Fan, who had been about to speak, was suddenly baffled. Why did they run away? Chapter 35 Discussing Reason_1 Chapter 35 Discussing Reason_1 Seeing this scene, Li Fan was perplexed, while Zi Ling and Nan Feng were also instantly taken aback. "Sister, what''s going on... Why did Ao Ming and the others run away..." Zi Ling was somewhat baffled. After pondering for a moment, Nan Feng looked at Li Fan and said, "If I''m not mistaken, the one who came with them was Xiao Tianya Zun. They are blind to recognize the power, but Xiao Tianya Zun has the vision... Senior Li is here, how could he not be afraid?" Zi Ling suddenly realized the situation. So that was the case. "That means we don''t have to be afraid of them at all, with Teacher here, even if a Supreme came they would have no recourse!" Zi Ling''s eyes shone brightly, and she clenched her small fists! Nan Feng also smiled, as Zi Ling said, it was very true¡ªshe remembered even Hong Xuan and Luo Ming, the two greatly renowned Supremes of the Southern Territory, had to respectfully address Teacher as Senior! "Now that they have left, when theye back, I''ll just have a talk with them about reason then." Li Fan smiled at Nan Feng and Zi Ling. Both of them felt even more at ease, as Senior Li''s "talk about reason" was something even a Supreme probably wasn''t qualified to endure. "Let''s go, let''s go back. For this period, we better not go out." Li Fan turned to leave. It was too dangerous. But Bai Xiaoqing was looking at the various mystical creatures outside the mountain vige, her big eyes filled with longing. The flesh and blood of so many creatures, if she could get it for her people, how greatly would they improve... What a pity. She meowed twice. "Stop meowing, when we get back I''ll cut some meat to feed you." Li Fan patted her head. Bai Xiaoqing''s eyes immediately shone brightly, meow, she could eat Golden Beast?! Lucky cat to death! ... Ao Ming and the rest piloted their flying ship to flee at high speed. "Uncle-Master, what''s happened, why are we running away?" Ao Ming was reluctant as they had already found Nan Feng and the other. With just a flick of Xiao Tian''s finger, the two would die instantly, and all threats would be gone. Now they were actually fleeing in disarray. "Shut up!" Xiao Tianya Zun, however, scolded angrily, "That''s a forbidden area!" "Taking action there, do you want to get me killed?" He was still shaken. That knife, the "kitchen knife" that could slice the Three-Yuan Turtle''s shell, its terrifying power, still lingered in his mind! Ao Ming and Zhu Xin were both shocked. A forbidden area?! That small mountain vige, was it really that terrifying? Before long, they had already returned to where they came from. In the sky, the two Supremes Tie Ming were still observing the Cangli Mountain Range. "Ao Ming and the others have returned. " The elder with a brush at his waist smiled and said, "It seems that the hidden danger has been taken care of, the items left by our ancestor can only be obtained by our sessor!" Tie Ming nodded as well, "That''s good, I hope they''ve done it cleanly, so the Sect Gate doesn''t find out." Soon, the flying ship of Ao Ming and the others was already approaching. "I report to my brother, a major incident has urred!" As soon as they approached, Xiao Tianya Zun transformed into a streak of light and appeared before the two Supremes. Seeing Xiao Tian, both of their brows furrowed instantly. "What happened? Did something go wrong on the way to kill Nan Feng and the other?" Tie Ming asked. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Xiao Tian nodded with a grave expression, "Nan Feng and Zi Ling have entered a forbidden territory!" "That ce is too horrifying, I dare not get close!" He then recounted what he had seen in the small mountain vige. Both Supremes immediately changed their expressions! "The Cangli Mountain Range haspletely copsed, and at this time, there''s still a piece of untouched Pure Land?" "So many creatures, nearly at Supreme level, actually all died outside that little mountain vige?" "A kitchen knife that could slice the shell of the Three-Yuan Turtle, which is known for its defense?" One after another, they questioned. They both felt like Xiao Tian must be confused, could this be possible? One piece of news was more astonishing than thest. "Absolutely true! That kitchen knife contains the energy of the Dao. Merely looking at it from a distance gave me a sense of fatal threat. If I got any closer, I fear I''d be shattered!" Xiao Tian spoke with lingering fear! Tie Ming nced at the old man with a paintbrush tucked into his belt and said, "Shi Tai, it seems we must personally take a trip there!" Shi Tai nodded and replied, "In such a ce, to encounter such a strange Pure Land, it might very well be rted to the entire Cangli Mountain Range. We cannot ignore this!" "Let''s go take a look!" The two Supremes immediately set out for the little mountain vige Xiao Tian had mentioned. Ao Ming and Zhu Xin, upon hearing that the two Supremes had personally taken action, were even more delighted. "This is great. This time, no matter where Zi Ling and Nan Feng are hiding, their death is certain!" They too followed the two Supremes to that small mountain vige. Before long, they had reappeared outside the small mountain vige. This time, they did not rashly reveal themselves. Instead, they remained hidden in the sky. "Indeed, there is such a Pure Land, it''s so strange!" Shi Tai eximed in surprise. "The Cangli Mountain Range has copsed, yet this ce remains unscathed. It truly is quite peculiar!" "I can''t sense anything unusual. It looks so ordinary..." Tie Ming nodded and said, "Let''s go. We''ll sneak into the small mountain vige and take a look!" Their group immediately disembarked from their flying vessel andnded, entering the small mountain vige through an unguarded entrance. "I can''t sense anything unusual. It looks so ordinary..." Tie Ming surveyed his surroundings. Just then, a middle-aged man carrying chunks of meat came walking towards them. "Is that¡ meat from a Mammoth Beast?!" Shi Tai was instantly shocked. Their eyes all widened. What Xiao Tian had said was true. The vigers here actually hunted Venerable-level spiritual beasts as prey? How terrifying! "May I ask, brother, have you seen two girls in the vige?" Shi Tai''s eyes flickered, and he stepped forward to inquire, "One of them likes to y the zither and the other likes to draw." The middle-aged man carrying meat smiled and said, "Oh, you mean the two disciples taken in by Little Li? I''ve seen them; they''re with Little Li!" Upon hearing this, both Shi Tai and Tie Ming were startled. Disciples? Zi Ling and Nan Feng have taken someone else as their master? What was happening? "Yes, we are looking for them. May I ask where they are now?" Shi Tai continued to question. The middle-aged man then directed them to Li Fan''s courtyard. After the middle-aged man had walked away, their faces turned icy cold. "These two traitors!" A chill shed in their eyes! "Heh, this couldn''t be better. They dared to take a master on their own. Do they even consider the Sect Gate anymore? With this, we can kill them outright, and even the Sect Master won''t have anything to say!" With a coldugh, Shi Tai waved his hand and said, "Let''s go. I want to see who this person is who dares to shelter Nan Feng''s two rebels and oppose the Three Absolutes Holy Land!" They then moved towards the path the middle-aged man had indicated. ... Meanwhile. Li Fan and the others had already returned to the courtyard. First, they stir-fried the meat of the Golden Beast with green peppers from the vegetable patch, creating a small dish that they shared for lunch. Zi Ling and Nan Feng, needless to say, were enjoying the meal thatbined the Holy Medicine with the meat of a Venerable beast, energizing them with Spiritual Energy and improving their Cultivation Level! Bai Xiaoqing had turned into a Gluttony, eating until her belly was round and full. Li Fan, holding Xiao Bai, rubbed her belly and said, "You''re a bit too greedy!" Meow meow... Bai Xiaoqing had her belly rubbed by Li Fan, and her big eyes radiated a shy expression. Aoow, how can you touch someone''s chest¡ But he''s so gentle... Don''t want to move... "Nanfeng Ziling, you two rebels,e out and meet your death!" At that moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard! Chapter 36 Wu’er Xianting_i Chapter 36 Wu¡¯er Xianting_i Trantor: 549690339 | Outside the small courtyard, a sudden voice caused both Zi Ling and Nan Feng to immediately change theirplexions! ¡°Not good! It¡¯s Elder Shi Tai¡¯s voice¡¡± Nan Feng spoke gravely, truly not expecting that, to kill them, even a Supreme would personally take action! If Senior Li weren¡¯t here, they might as well have simply awaited death. Zi Ling was also somewhat nervous and looked at Li Fan, saying, ¡°Teacher¡ they havee to capture us!¡± Li Fan was also somewhat puzzled. How could this group of enthusiasts be so ferocious? Always acting like it¡¯s a matter of life and death. ¡°Worry not, I shall reason with them.¡± Still, Li Fan asked calmly, ¡°The people who havee, what are their areas of expertise?¡± Nan Feng said, ¡°Elder Shi Tai is proficient in calligraphy, anding with him should be Elder Tie Ming, who is proficient in music. His instrument is a long flute!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan smiled faintly. Music? Calligraphy? This really had hit right into his hands. ¡°I understand, just give me a moment or two.¡± He then entered the study. From within the study, he took out brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and also came out holding a long flute. He ground the ink, and then lifted the brush. The brush was primitive, its years of existence in the world unknown, and on the shaft, the ancient characters for ¡°Di Ji¡± were faintly visible. The moment the brush touched the rice paper! Silver hook, iron stroke! By the side, theplexions of Nan Feng and Zi Ling changed dramatically! They clearly felt, at this moment, the entire small courtyard was pulsating with the essence of the Dao, that one stroke seemed to tug at the great Law! ¡°Why do I feel like what the teacher is holding in his hand is not a brush¡ but a legendary Divine Sword?¡± Zi Ling was somewhat dazed. ¡°The Dao sings along with the movement of the brush, what kind of Realm is this?¡± Nan Feng also murmured. After a long while. It was only then that Li Fan finished his writing. On the snow-white rice paper, there were now four characters: ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting!¡± Wu¡¯er Xianting! Each character was exquisitely ingenious, not a single stroke could be changed. Li Fan said, ¡°Zi Ling, take this piece of calligraphy and hang it above the gate of the courtyard.¡± It had been so long, and he had not yet named his small courtyard. Now, he would use this name, and by doing so, he might also make those ferocious calligraphy enthusiasts outside realize the difficulty and retreat! As long as they understood that Zi Ling and the other were now disciples of a renowned master, and their own skills in calligraphy and music were superior, they would naturally leave, wouldn¡¯t they? Upon hearing this, Zi Ling hurriedly stepped forward and took the piece of calligraphy. ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting¡¡± She nced at the characters and immediately felt as if she were about to be overwhelmed by the Dao essence within them! She dared not look any longer, promptly framed the calligraphy, and then took a deep breath before walking outside. At this moment. Outside the small courtyard. Both Tie Ming and Shi Tai were looking at this small courtyard with uncertain and dubious eyes. ¡°Why do I feel that this small courtyard is somewhat strange, it looks calm and utterly ordinary, yet it gives me a very dangerous feeling¡ Tie Ming spoke, his eyes filled with a hint of apprehension! It was precisely because they sensed the courtyard¡¯s extraordinariness that they hesitated to barge in for the moment. ¡°Never mind that, how impressive could anything be within a small mountain vige? We are Supremes, invincible in the Xuantian Realm!¡¯ Shi Tai, however, was very confident. He grasped the brush tied at his waist, ready to step forward! But at that moment, the courtyard gate was suddenly opened. Zi Ling had already walked out from inside. Seeing her, everyone was startled. ¡°This rebellious disciple, indeed here!¡± ¡°Truly seeking death, to dare still show up! Ao Ming and Zhu Xin both spoke with gloomy expressions. ¡°Hehe, Zi Ling, you¡¯ve finallye out. What about Nan Feng? I heard that you two actually dared to turn against your own sect and take someone else as your master. Today, I shall deal with the renegades on behalf of your master!¡± Elder Shi Tai stepped forward with a gloomy expression. Fear flickered in Zi Ling¡¯srge eyes, but she quickly said, ¡°Sister Nan Feng and I have already taken Senior Li as our master, you must not be disrespectful!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she promptly showcased the mounted calligraphy in her hands! Boom! Elder Shi Tai¡¯s whole body shook in an instant, as if struck by lightning, and he stared fixedly ahead! ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting¡¡± He muttered, those four characters ensnaring himpletely! He felt an overwhelming sense of terror! Each stroke was an embodiment of the Dao. Each line was the foundation of the rules. Wu¡¯er signifies the meaning of the Supreme, unique and unparalleled! Xianting, however, radiated leisure and detachment, transcending the mundane world! What kind of spirit was this! Could it be the work of an invincible being? How is this possible¡ As a powerful being who had demonstrated supremacy through calligraphy, Elder Shi Tai could naturally sense the boundless Dao, as vast and mysterious as the universe! Th¨º sourc?? of this content n/o/v/(??l)bi((n)) He trembled with excitement, and suddenly, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground with a thud. This was the repression of the Invincible Path, akin to an ant worshiping a Giant Dragon! He saw countless flows of Dao, the birth and extinction of thews of heaven and earth. Tears of blood began to flow from Elder Shi Tai¡¯s eyes! ¡°No!¡± Elder Tie Ming immediately sensed something. He wasn¡¯t a calligrapher, so he wasn¡¯t as terrified as Elder Shi Tai. In a hurry, he grabbed Elder Shi Tai¡¯s shoulders, yanked him up, and quickly covered his eyes! ¡°You can¡¯t look anymore, you¡¯ll directly enter meditation and die if you do!¡± Elder Tie Ming warned frantically! He clearly felt that Elder Shi Tai¡¯s cultivation level was fluctuating and dissipating, a sign of meditation unto death. But Elder Shi Tai let out a madugh; dancing and crying with joy, he said: ¡°Haha, I have seen the ultimate in calligraphy, I have seen the ultimate path of calligraphy¡ Haha, hahaha¡¡± All of a sudden, he ran away like a child, hopping and skipping along the way! Witnessing this, Elder Tie Ming was shocked, incredulously saying, ¡°He¡ he¡¯s gone mad?!¡± Gone mad! Ao Ming and Zhu Xin both changed theirplexions dramatically! How could this be? A Supreme being, who entered the Dao through calligraphy, had gone mad just like that? Merely from seeing four characters written by someone else? Who would believe such a story if it were told? Ghosts wouldn¡¯t believe it! But now, it was actually happening! ¡°Who¡ who wrote those four characters??¡± Ao Ming trembled slightly, a deep fear rising in his heart. Elder Tie Ming took a deep breath and looked forward, where Zi Ling had already hung the mounted calligraphy above the courtyard gate. Elder Tie Ming dared not look at the four characters but turned to Zi Ling and said, ¡°Zi Ling, who exactly is behind you?¡± Even he was afraid. How could one not fear a piece of calligraphy that could drive a Supreme being mad? Zi Ling looked at the retreating figure of the mad Elder Shi Tai, her eyes somewhat vacant. Was this what Senior Li meant by reasoning with the people from the Holy Land? This was simply terrifying! Hearing Elder Tie Ming¡¯s question, Zi Ling snapped out of it, her eyes filled withplex emotions as she nced at him and said, ¡°You do not have the privilege to know that yet!¡± With that, she turned and entered the courtyard. ¡°Wait! How can you leave¡¡± Elder Tie Ming was anxious. He was too eager to know what terrifying existencey hidden within. That a Supreme could be driven mad, he thought of too much in that instant. With the opening of the Cangli Mountain Range, to imagine that such a frightening existence was hidden in this peculiar little vige was chilling to think about. However, as he took a step forward, a clear sound of flute ying came from the courtyard! This flute sound, like some irresistible force, caused Elder Tie Ming to be taken aback, staring dazedly at the courtyard! Chapter 37 The Funeral Bell_i Chapter 37 The Funeral Bell_i Trantor: 549690339 I Zi Ling had just entered the small courtyard when the sound of a flute began to resound. In the courtyard, Li Fan, holding a jade flute, started to y. The jade flute, crafted from some kind of exquisite jade, was crystal clear and wless, seemingly like the on clouds in the sky. On the flute, there were two ancient characters that stood out: ¡°Divine Melody¡±. The clear and remote sound of the flute continued to rise. Li Fan intended to make the other party back off by understanding the difficulty, so the tune he yed resembled the surging of great rivers and seas! Nan Feng was extremely shocked as she stared nkly at Li Fan,prehending the sound of his flute. Music is connected, and the sound of a flute can likewise inspire her zither music. At this moment, she clearly felt like a lone boat being propelled by endless rivers, ascending and plummeting, with towering waves surging to the sky, and the rivers roaring! The great river flows eastward, waves washing away the heroes of ages past! Waves pounding the shore, rolling up a thousand piles of snow! The grand and majestic scene rendered her utterly spellbound. Inside the courtyard, fish became still while earth chickensy dormant. On the Pantao Tree, big and red Pan Peaches radiated dazzling brilliance, and with the sound of the flute, every leaf in the vegetable patch pulsated! A single note sounded, and all living things harmonized! Outside the courtyard. Tie Ming was disoriented and dumbfounded, as if his soul had been seized by some entity. His iron flute nged to the ground. ¡°The Ultimate Sound, the Ultimate Sound¡¡± Muttering to himself, Tie Ming clearly felt that this flute music depicted a world where the vast sea surged, the mighty ocean roared, and he was no more than the most insignificant wave. The music within the courtyard suddenly shifted, with waves risen by the fierce wind, crashing down heavily. In an instant, the world fell silent, just like the calm surface of ake after a storm. Every wave vanished. And at that moment, Tie Ming¡¯s body suddenly began to fade away! He disappeared gradually from foot to head, with no sign of where he had gone. All that was left in his ce was his iron flute, whistling in the wind. Li Fan had stopped ying the flute. ¡°No¡ no, Master, Master!¡± Zhu Xin trembled as she stood there in disbelief at the scene, calling out to Supreme Tie Ming, but there was no response. ¡°Senior brother, what happened? What on earth happened?¡± Zhu Xin looked at Ao Ming in terror. Ao Ming¡¯s lips were dry, his whole body trembling faintly, he said, ¡± Supreme Tie Ming¡ has be one with the Tao, he has be one with the Tao!¡±CH??Ck for ??ew st??ries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m Be one with the Tao! Zhu Xin was stupefied. Bing one with the Tao¡ meantpletely vanishing from this world. But wasn¡¯t that something that urred only when a Supreme being reached the end of their life and could break through no further? Supreme Tie Ming was in the prime of his life, with a clear path ahead, even considered as one of the Three Absolutes Holy Land¡¯s likely candidates for bing an Immortal- Now he had be one with the Tao, merely from an unknown existence¡¯s melody within the small courtyard. ¡°What kind of person is hidden here, causing two Supremes of the Holy Land to end up, one mad, the other bing one with the Tao¡¡± Ao Ming murmured, then turned and left. Without a moment¡¯s hesitation! ¡°Quick, run for it!¡± He only said that much before he started to flee at full speed! ¡°Senior brother, wait for me, wait for me¡¡± Zhu Xin was also frightened, hurrying to follow him, not daring to even pick up Tie Ming¡¯s iron flute¡ Within the courtyard. ¡°They should be gone now, right?¡± Li Fan smiled and put away his jade flute. Nan Feng was still immersed in the realm of enlightenment, struggling to extricate herself. Zi Ling stepped forward to push open the courtyard door, only to see that Tie Ming and the others had disappeared, but an iron flute remained. She paused, puzzled. What had happened? That iron flute was Tie Ming¡¯s supreme artifact, and generally, as long as the person lived, the artifact would too. How could it have been left behind? Could it mean¡ could it mean Tie Ming had¡ died? A bold thought shed through her mind! If it were true, it would be terrifying. From such a distance, with but a single tune, Senior Li had killed a Supreme unseen¡ But, recalling that Senior Li¡¯s mere calligraphy had driven to madness Supreme Shi Tai, who had received the genuine teachings of the Three Absolute Immortal from past years, she suddenly felt it might just be possible! She stepped forward, picked up Supreme Tie Ming¡¯s iron flute, and returned to the courtyard. ¡°Senior¡ they¡¯ve all disappeared, and this is the flute left by Supreme Shi Tai.¡± She respectfully handed it to Li Fan. ¡ªIn her view, it was rightfully Li Fan¡¯s spoil of war. Li Fan, upon hearing this, also turned to look over, curious about how a cultivator¡¯s flute would differ. He took it, nced at it, but immediately shook his head. ¡± Poor quality, shoddily made, throw it in the trash bin¡ª ¡± He spoke directly. It was far too inferior. Even the items obtained through the System were better than this. Cultivators use the flute, or is it just an elder from the enthusiast association? Is this it? No wonder Nan Feng and Zi Ling both wanted to run out, following such a sect, there¡¯s no future. Yet the expressions of Zi Ling and Nan Feng were alsoplex. This so-called ¡°Dustless Flute¡± of Tie Ming the Supreme is truly a supreme artifact. If it were ced in the outside world, who knows what turmoil it would cause, countless people would break through and fight over it. But to Senior Li, it was only fit for the trash! ¡°Yes¡ Teacher.¡± Zi Ling then tossed the Iron Flute into the nearby waste bin. ¡°Tea¡ Teacher, with such a big incident happening in the Cangli Mountain Range, what should we¡ do?¡± Then, Nan Feng asked with some trepidation. Now, she wasn¡¯t sure whether her teacher had orchestrated the major changes in the Cangli Mountain Range¡ After all, only this small mountain vige was unscathed when the mountains copsed. Clearly, all this was merely because Li Fan resided here. If it wasn¡¯t for Li Fan, this small mountain vige would have long been reduced to dust, and the vigers would not have been able to escape this disaster. Upon hearing this, Li Fan also sighed and said, ¡°Just wait¡ª ¡± ¡°During this time, let¡¯s not go out, it¡¯s too chaotic.¡± He shook his head. ording to his understanding of earthquakes, generally, there would be many aftershocks! Since this small mountain vige happened to avoid the affected area, it would be best to take risks here. Upon hearing this, the expressions of Nan Feng and Zi Ling became even moreplex. Even Senior Li said it was chaotic¡ What exactly would happen within the Cangli Mountain Range? At this moment. Ao Ming and Zhu Xin fled all the way and finally stopped after they had long since passed the mountain vige. ¡°What should we do, what can we do now¡¡± Zhu Xin frantically asked in rm. Two Supremes, one gone mad, the other transcended¡ If this news got back, the Three Absolutes Holy Land would surely be in upheaval¡ ¡°Nevermind, now we must tell the Holy Land!¡± ¡°Let the Holy Land bring the Immortal Artifact here. I refuse to believe that Zi Ling and Nan Feng, those two wretched people, will have anyone left to protect them!¡± Ao Ming spoke with a grim face and immediately crushed a Jade Talisman! The Jade Talisman that connects to the Three Absolutes Holy Land! In front of the two of them, a light screen suddenly appeared, and in the light screen, a vague figure could be seen. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± An authoritative voice sounded. ¡°Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, two rebellious disciples, have left the Sect Gate and pledged allegiance to another, and they have also caused the Supreme Tie Ming to transcend, while the whereabouts of Supreme Shi Tai remain unknown!¡± ¡°I implore the Supreme Elder to provide immediate support and execute the traitors to avenge this great enmity!¡± Ao Ming¡¯s voice was heavy. On the other side of the light screen, the imposing figure seemed stunned for a moment, then vanished as if nothing had happened. ¡°Brother, this¡¡± Zhu Xin was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Two Supremes have emerged, the Sect Gate will definitely need to deliberate! Just wait!¡± Ao Ming spoke darkly. At this moment. Central Province. In a Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands. Majestic mountains and extraordinary aura, the disciples of this holy site were all highly talented. Someone was painting on the mountain top, and as he painted, the wind seemed to follow the brush. Someone was ying music by thekeside, and when they yed, the waterfowl danced along. There was even a group of Sword Cultivators who were respectfully watching a middle-aged man write; as his strokes fell, Sword Qi burst forth! A picture of tranquility and peace, it truly was a sacred site for cultivation. But at this moment, urgent and grand bell tolls suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land. Instantly, all the cultivators there changed their expressions! ¡°What¡¯s going on¡ what is that sound?¡± ¡°Death knell¡ The death knell¡ It¡¯s the death knell of the Supreme!¡± ¡°What!? Our Three Absolutes Holy Land¡ A Supreme has fallen?! How is this possible? What happened?¡± In an instant, the schr painting on the mountain peak watched as his paper tore apart. The strings of the instrument being yedkeside suddenly snapped, and a few dancing waterbirds explosively turned into mist of blood. In the woods, the final stroke of the middle-aged man¡¯s calligraphy could not bepleted, as the pen broke outright. For a time, everyone in the Three Absolutes Holy Land was shocked, staring dumbfoundedly towards the main hall¡¯s location! Everyone knew¡ something big had happened! Chapter 38 Waging War Against Senior Li?_i Chapter 38 Waging War Against Senior Li?_i Trantor: 549690339 | Within the Sacred Hall of the Three Absolutes Holy Land. The atmosphere was tense and heavy to the extreme. A total of six Supremes had emerged! Many of them had been in seclusive meditation before this, unwilling to ept any disturbance. But now, they were forced to leave their seclusion. Because such a time signified that their Holy Land was facing a major crisis. ¡°Sect Master, what has happened that requires the assembly of us all?¡± An elder with gray hair asked. He even emitted a decayed aura. This was an old Supreme, trapped on the verge of bing an Immortal, unable to break through. All eyes turned to a middle-aged man sitting at the head of the hall. The middle-aged man¡¯s aura was dormant, but his eyes seemed to sh with divine lightning. He was Changsun Liancheng, the current Saint Master of the Three Absolutes Holy Land. ¡°Shi Tai and Tie Ming, two Supremes, arrived in the Southern Territory, the Cangli Mountain Range a few days ago through the Teleportation Array!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s expression turned stern. ¡°Now, both Supremes, Tie Ming has died, his Soul Lamp extinguished; Shi Tai¡¯s Soul Lamp is extremely weak, on the verge of dissipating. The news from there said he has gone mad.¡± In the hall, many Supremes were shocked at this moment. ¡°One dead, one mad¡ what on earth did they encounter?¡± ¡°Could it be some terrifying entity?¡± ¡°No wonder we had to leave seclusion¡¡± The crowd spoke out, and the old Supreme who had asked the question earlier said, ¡°Could they have been harmed due to encountering the terrifying entity within the Cangli Mountain Range?¡± The Cangli Mountain Range was known to all in the Xuantian Realm as a forbidden ce. If the two Supremes had indeed been killed by the terrifying beings there, then everything would make sense, as that range was known to be a graveyard for Supremes. However, Changsun Liancheng shookhis head and said, ¡°Not so, they were harmed by others!¡± ¡°ording to the news passed back by the disciples of Shi Tai and Tie Ming, they were harmed by the traitors Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who colluded with a certain entity!¡± ¡°Regardless of who Zi Ling and Nan Feng have pledged allegiance to, after harming two of our Holy Land¡¯s Supremes, letting their disciples go was a clear disy of a threat against us!¡± ¡°This is provocation!¡± Changsun Liancheng spoke coldly, ¡°If faced with such humiliation, we do not wage war, then our Holy Land¡¯s reputation will undoubtedly be damaged!¡± All the Supremes shuddered. ¡°Therefore, the purpose of gathering today is singr!¡± ¡°Our Holy Land¡ should rightfullyunch a Holy War!¡± ¡°To avenge the two Supremes!¡± At these words, the expressions of many Supremes changed. Holy War! Unless it came to a matter of life and death, Holy Wars were never initiated. When a Holy War begins, it means either death or survival. There were no other options. Had things reallye to this? ¡°Without rifying the full details of the incident, isn¡¯t it too premature tounch a Holy War?¡± The old Supreme couldn¡¯t help speaking out. The faces of the other Supremes also showed hesitation. But at this time, Changsun Liancheng stood up; his face was cold as he said, ¡°My friends, do not forget, the Cangli Mountain Range has been opened!¡± ¡°How many years has it been since our Three Absolutes Holy Land produced an Immortal?¡± ¡°Our Ancestor, before stepping onto the Ascension tform, left the Proof of Immortal Zither and Immortal Ascension Brush which contain the Immortal Path, in the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± ¡°With both Supremes defeated, we must mobilize our full strength to have a chance of reiming them!¡± ¡°Only then, will we have the opportunity to forge another era of brilliance!¡± In an instant, everyone understood. The purpose of the Holy War was not the individual who harmed the two Supremes. It was the divine relics left by the Three Absolute Immortal within the Cangli Mountain Range! ¡°I understand. Only with a Holy War will we have a pretext to intervene in the affairs of the Southern Territory.¡± The old Supreme sighed. After all, the Three Absolutes Holy Land was a Sect Gate of the Central Province; directly entering the Southern Territory seeking fortunes would inevitably face resistance from the Southern Territory. This would be a vition of the rules. But now, the death of the two Supremes provided them with an excuse. Soon, within the Three Absolutes Holy Land, an order was issued! ¡°Gather the forces of the Holy Land, initiate the Saint War!¡± ¡°To avenge the Supreme Tie Ming and Shi Tai!¡± Once the news spread, the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land was shaken. Saint War! Swiftly, the news of the Three Absolutes Holy Land from the Central Province marching into the Southern Territory caused a stir. The Southern Territory paid close attention. The news that two Supremes had either died or gone mad also spread throughout the entire Southern Territory, pushed by the Three Absolutes Holy Land themselves. After all, they needed the news of the two Supremes¡¯ misfortunes to spread far and wide, so they would have a justifiable reason. All areas of the Southern Territory were instantly shaken as well. ¡°Someone dared to strike at the Supremes of the Three Absolutes Holy Land around the Cangli Mountain Range, resulting in one death and one madness!¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying. Could it have been the work of an Almost Immortal?¡± ¡°The Cangli Mountain Range, it¡¯s indeed bing more and moreplicated¡¡± The topic was explosive everywhere. And at that moment. Outside the Cangli Mountain Range, troops had already been assembled. Leading them were the Ziyang Holy Land and the Taiyan Holy Land. The two Holy Lands took the lead in forming an exploratory alliance for the Cangli Mountain Range. The great changes in the Cangli Mountain Range, though they had led to a disaster, also represented a true grand opportunity. The original myriad of forbidden arrays were now destroyed. It was possible to enter them now. ¡°Report!¡± A Mahayana Realm expert approached rapidly, bringing thetest news, ¡°The Three Absolutes Holy Land from the Central Province has initiated a Saint War, heading towards the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± ¡°It is said that the Supremes Shi Tai and Tie Ming of the Three Absolutes Holy Land were harmed by the traitors Nan Feng and Zi Ling, who colluded with a hidden entity at the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, resulting in one death and one madness. This has ignited the fury of the Three Absolutes Holy Land.¡± The leaders of the allied forces were none other than Luo Ming and Hong Xuan! These two were regarded as the favored ones by Senior Li, thus they became themanders of the alliance. Upon hearing the news, both exchanged a look, seeing the same gravity and spection in each other¡¯s eyes! ¡°Could it be Senior Li¡?¡± Hong Xuan spoke. ¡°It certainly is!¡± Luo Ming affirmed decisively, ¡°The so-called traitors of the Three Absolutes Holy Land, Nan Feng and Zi Ling, are most likely those two who have been following Senior Li.¡± ¡°And looking at the entire Southern Territory, who else could easily drive two Supremes to one death and one madness?¡± Hong Xuan¡¯s expression was extremely grave! ¡°It¡¯s hard to know if these two actually stepped into Senior Li¡¯s small courtyard this time¡¡± Luo Ming couldn¡¯t help recalling the two Supreme Demon Generals who died outside Senior Li¡¯s gate on thest asion. Even with the Immortal-level power unleashed from their Demon Souls, they couldn¡¯t take a step into the courtyard¡ If the Three Absolutes Holy Land knew about this, would they still dare tounch a Saint War? They would probably turn tail and run¡ He suddenly said mockingly, ¡°The Three Absolutes Holy Land thinks itself clever, using the deaths of the two Supremes to vie for the opportunity of the Cangli Mountain Range. They¡¯re pitifully mistaken. To initiate a Saint War against an existence like Senior Li, truly a sign their judgment haspsed!¡± ¡°Their little cleverness will bring disaster upon their entire Holy Land!¡± Hong Xuan then said, ¡°Should we step in, they dare to show such disrespect towards Senior Li¡¡± ¡°No need, all of this is certainly within Senior Li¡¯s calctions.¡± Luo Ming said, ¡°In the hands of Senior Li, Holy Lands are but chess pieces after all. We should be thankful that Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land are at least useful pieces¡ whereas the Three Absolutes Holy Land, evidently, is about to be a discarded one!¡± Hong Xuan had aplicated expression on his face! ¡°No matter what, towards the Cangli Mountain Range, we march!¡± We march! The allied forces, like a tidal wave, quickly crossed the periphery of the Cangli Mountain Range and surged in. And at this moment. Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and others, had also entered the small vige. Before entering the Cangli Mountain Range, they came here specifically to listen to Senior Li¡¯s teachings! Chapter 40 - 39 Ascension Platform Appears i Chapter 40: Chapter 39 Ascension tform Appears i Trantor: 549690339 | ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting¡ How imposing, how carefree!¡± A group of people stopped outside Li Fan¡¯s courtyard and saw the que hanging over the entrance. Yu Qishui couldn¡¯t help but exim in admiration, ¡°Just by ncing at it, I feel an unimaginable aura. If a sword cultivator were toe here, they might be able toprehend the supreme Sword Dao from this calligraphy!¡± Fire Spirit and the others also felt it was extraordinary. ¡°Senior, Qian Ning and the others havee to pay their respects to you.¡± Mu Qianning spoke respectfully from outside the courtyard gate. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Fan¡¯s voice came from within the courtyard. The visitors then pushed open the door and entered. Upon entering the courtyard, they saw Li Fan lying leisurely under a peach tree, while Zi Ling was intently painting an extremely unusual egg, and Nan Feng was gently plucking the strings of a guqin with her bare hands. The little white tigery in Li Fan¡¯s arms, looking even more extraordinary. ¡°Truly a reclusive master of the world; while the outside has turned upside down, Senior Li remains so calm and leisurely¡¡± Everyone was somewhat bewildered; this courtyard was indeed a different world. But on second thought, they found it reasonable. What in the world could affect the mood of a person of Senior Li¡¯s stature? ¡°Come sit.¡± Li Fan said with a smile. Fire Spirit and the others, after several visits, had be old friends. He wondered how their business had been faring. ¡°How have you been recently?¡± he asked. ¡°Thanks to Senior¡¯s concern, all is well.¡± Yu Qishui replied respectfully. ¡°Your visit is rted to the event Luo Ming and the others are preparing, isn¡¯t it?¡± Last time, Li Fan gave Luo Ming a ¡°Wan Shan Ju Long Tu¡±. He guessed they would organize an art exhibition or an auction with it. Back then, Fire Spirit and the others had expressed their wish to participate. Now that they were here, it was most likely time for that art exhibition to start. At this, Fire Spirit and the others quickly nodded in agreement. ¡°Senior, do you have any advice for us this time?¡± Fire Spirit asked nervously. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Nothing much. Just keep a normal state of mind, and don¡¯t be too nervous. These things aren¡¯t a big deal.¡± He was quite worried that Fire Spirit would get nervous, being probably someone who had just started a small shop and hadn¡¯t seen much of the world. At his words, the others felt even moreplex emotions. Even matters involving the Cangli Mountain Range and immortals¡ in Senior Li¡¯s view, were nothing more than that! This must be the perspective of an exceptional master¡ ¡°Since you¡¯vee here, I will give you two more things¡ª ¡± Li Fan continued to speak. At his words, Fire Spirit and the others were extremely excited and delighted! With items bestowed by Senior Li, they truly had no more worries for this trip. Li Fan then got up and, with a wave of his hand, had Zi Ling prepare the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone. Li Fan immediately picked up the brush and, with strokes as swift as the wind,pleted a piece in one breath¡ªa phrase instantly took shape: ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens!¡± Just these five characters! Every character was like a sword, and the vigor challenged the heavens! Fire Spirit and the others were deeply shocked at the sight. These four characters contained terrifying Daoist essence! Subsequently, Li Fan continued to wield his brush and freely drew another painting. The scene he depicted was of the sky¡ªvast and boundless, with cloudsyering upon each other, and the edges of rooftops hinting in the distance. An immortal pce, hidden in the clouds! This was the ¡°Biluo Immortal Pce Map¡±! As Li Fan¡¯s brush stroked the final line, Fire Spirit and the others seemed lost in a daze as if they had witnessed a true imposing immortal pce, eternally existent amongst the leisurely drifting clouds! And Zi Ling was directly immersed in the realm of enlightenment¡ Li Fan, smiling, handed the calligraphy and painting to Fire Spirit and the others. Since Fire Spirit and the others wanted to exhibit to the eyes of the world, Li Fan simply decided to show the world what true calligraphy and what true painting meant! Meanwhile. Fiery Mountain. Once possessing great influence in the Southern Fire Country, sweeping over myriad forces of the month and day levels, it now appeared somewhat silent. Inside a secret chamber. Yin Xiaokong, the Sect Master of Fiery Mountain, had been staying in the chamber for nearly half a month. No one dared to disturb him. Yin Xiaokong knelt before a sinister looking statue with eight arms and two heads, featuring eerie colors. Previously, when the Evil God informed him that a Divine Envoy had descended and would soon erase all obstructing entities, Yin Xiaokong was overjoyed, believing Fiery Mountain¡¯s chance to dominate the entire Fire Country and even vie for supremacy in the Southern Territory had finally arrived. However, what followed was the soundless death of the Divine Envoy. Even the Evil God had fallen into silence. This plunged Yin Xiaokong into a state of deep panic. What sort of existence could there be in that small vige, behind the Lihuo Sect, that could effortlessly defeat even a messenger of the Evil God? He was terrified that the opposing force could extinguish Fiery Mountain with a mere flick of the finger. Therefore, only by hiding before the Evil God¡¯s statue could he feel a slight sense of security. ¡°Evil God¡ The Cangli Mountain Range is opened; why have you not given any instructions yet¡¡± He murmured. Could the existence in that small vige be so terrifying that even the Evil God dared not reappear? But no sooner had he finished speaking than a muffled and grating voice suddenly emanated from within the Evil God statue: ¡°The time hase.¡± Yin Xiaokong immediately looked up, disbelievingly at the statue. The Evil God¡ had finally spoken again? ¡°Evil God, atst you have spoken¡¡± He was extremely excited. In the eyes of the Evil God¡¯s statue, however, two green lights suddenly appeared. ¡°The aura of bing an immortal has already emerged¡ and I shall bestow upon you a great fortune.¡± The menacing voice of the Evil God rang out. Yin Xiaokong was even more thrilled! Great fortune! This was too wonderful! ¡°Supreme God¡ What can I do for you?¡± he asked, trembling. But the menacingughter coldly said, ¡°For me, contribute your body!¡± From within the Evil God¡¯s statue, an eerie wraith suddenly floated out. ¡°No!¡± At that moment, Yin Xiaokong felt a great terror! But it was already toote, he had no ability to resist, and the wraith directly entered his body. After entering his body, the wraith devoured Yin Xiaokong¡¯s weak soul in one gulp. ¡°Hehe¡ the taste of a soul, it really is delicious¡¡± ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡± climbed up from the ground, twisted his head around, filled with a demonic sensation. He walked out of the secret chamber. ¡°Sect Master, how did it go?¡± ¡°Did the Supreme God respond?¡± Gongsun Qi and other elders asked in turn. ¡°Of course, there was.¡± ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡± sneered menacingly and with a wave of his hand! Countless dark and terrifying wraiths suddenly flew out from his hand! The eight Great Elders of Fiery Mountain were instantly brought down, convulsing, screaming in agony! Shortly after, all eight Great Elders stood up, their eyes glowing with a sinister green light! ¡°We greet the Supreme God!¡± all eight Great Elders knelt together! ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡± turned his head, looking in the direction of the Cangli Mountain Range, and said, ¡°Ascension tform¡ the chance to be an immortal, I have arrived!¡± With a low roar, he and the eight Great Elders disappeared from the top of Fiery Mountain in an instant. In the Southern Territory, ake enveloped by cold air. The temperature was extremely low. The water was ck, and at the bottom of theke were huge chunks of ice. This was the rare Mysterious Ice! In the center of a huge block of Mysterious Ice, there was a figure sitting in meditation. It was a young man, a woman with white hair yet a breathtakingly beautiful face! Suddenly, she opened her eyes. In an instant, the Mysterious Ice shattered! The entire icy-coldke was shockingly swept into the sky by the impact. The next moment, the woman had already appeared above theke. ¡°The opportunity to be immortal has finally emerged¡ In this life, I must be immortal!¡± With one step, she was already a thousand li away! The allied forces led by Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land had already entered deep into the Cangli Mountain Range. ¡°Roar¨C¡± On the third day, the allied forces faced a threat, the Demon Soul of a primordial ferocious beast that remained until today, its Supreme might hardly diminished. With one swipe of its paw, the ferocious beast ughtered hundreds of cultivators! In the end, it was only through the joint efforts of Hong Xuan and Luo Ming that it was repressed. The fourth day. A residual array caused the deaths of nearly a thousand people in the allied forces! The fifth day. When passing through a ce with a powerful surge from the earth¡¯s core, the immense suction dragged down hundreds of people, including three Sub- Honored ones! On the sixth day, the allied forces even encountered a Quasi-Iminortal Artifact that had be sentient, killing two Supremes of Taiyan Holy Land. In the end, a Quasi-Immortal Artifact from Taiyan Holy Land was also taken out to control the situation! Even though the Cangli Mountain Range had already copsed and many dangers no longer existed, the remnants were still breath-takingly perilous. Finally, in the field of vision of the allied forces, a splendid light appeared! Within that radiance of seven colors, there loomed a long flight of stairs, leading to an unknown destination! ¡°Is that¡ the Ascension tform?!¡± ¡°Are we¡ about to reach the Ascension tform? The legendary ce where Supremes be immortals!¡± ¡°How is this possible¡ A ce countless Supremes have sought but could never reach, we¡¯re actually able to get there? Do we really have the chance to be immortals¡¡± Everyone was shocked. Havinge this far, the allied forces had suffered great losses, but about five thousand people still remained! A ce where even Supremes faced life and death, this time, so many were able to reach it? Everyone felt somewhat surreal. Ahead. ¡°We¡¯re only a hundred li away from the location of the Ascension tform!¡± The Holy Master Ling Chao Supreme of Taiyan Holy Land appeared personally, his tone excited. ¡°Yes¡ by passing through this area, we¡¯ll reach the Ascension tform¡¡± Yuan Yang Venerable of Ziyang Holy Land also had a fervently eager look in his eyes. Now, they had all appeared in person. ¡°Let¡¯s go, through the area ahead, then to the Ascension tform!¡± ¡°The secrets of bing immortal will all unfold before our eyes!¡± Both holy masters personally spoke! After that, they led more than ten Supremes themselves into the fray! Chapter 41 - 40 Immortal Tribulation Light_i Chapter 41: Chapter 40 Immortal Tribtion Light_i Trantor: 549690339 | Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable, leading the many Supremes from Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, were the first to step into the area ahead. This area appeared to be nothing more than a simple open space. Moreover, they didn¡¯t sense anything unusual. The allied army followed closely behind them. ¡°Boom¡ª¡± However, the moment they entered the area, the scene before their eyes suddenly changed! Howling winds raged as if across an endless wilderness. On this wildernessy a vast expanse of graves! Shattered steles, low tomb mounds¡ At the end of this area, dazzling Immortal light shone like the road to the Immortal Domain, contrasting starkly with the destend. ¡°What¡¯s going on¡ Why do I feel, this area is filled with chaotic Supreme auras¡ Even mixed with some Immortal Path auras?¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable¡¯s face changed drastically. In Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s eyes shed a hint of horror, he said, ¡°Could it be that the rumor is actually true¡ Before the Ascension tform, the Supreme Burial Ground!¡± ¡°What¡¯s left here are all the deceased Supremes, among them, even Almost Immortals!¡± He spoke. The faces of many Supremes immediately changed color! The Supreme Burial Ground¡ This was too terrifying¡ ¡°The subsequent allied forces can¡¯t enter, it seems, only those above Supreme can step into this area.¡± At this time, Luo Ming also spoke; he turned his head for a nce. Countless allied forces were blocked. Only some Supremes from other forces followed them in. ¡°Let¡¯s go, now that we¡¯vee this far, we can¡¯t give up halfway, let¡¯s look ahead!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke with a resolute expression on his face. The others also nodded their heads. They walked forward. ¡°There¡¯s murderous intent!¡± Suddenly, a Supreme¡¯s face changed color, an inexplicable aura enveloped him, and a cluster of mysterious Immortal light fell! He immediately let out a scream, his cultivation being cut away! ¡°No¡ ¡± However, in an instant, the Immortal light dissipated, but the once mighty Supreme had turned into a withered old man! There was no Spiritual Energy left on him. ¡°Immortal Tribtion Light¡ Even the slightest imperfection will be turned into dust by the Immortal Tribtion Light¡¡± The Supreme looked at the remaining people with difficulty, the next moment, he suddenly shattered on the spot! He became a pile of ¡°Three Lives Soil¡±! The color drained from everyone¡¯s faces! Immortal Tribtion Light? This was too frightening¡ The Supreme Burial Ground¡ was this how it formed¡ ¡°Immortal Tribtion Light, this is a major trial for the Supremes, only those who can withstand a cut of the Immortal light can ascend to the tform and enter the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°Otherwise, it¡¯s all in vain!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke gravely. For a time, many Supremes hesitated. The death of that Supreme just now made them all cautious. That Supreme, also considered one of the most likely to be Immortals, couldn¡¯t withstand a moment¡ How many people could im to be stronger than him? ¡°Hehehe¡¡± Just then, a chillyugh suddenly rose from behind the many Supremes. Theugh made everyone¡¯s face change color and sent shivers down their spines. They turned around only to see that behind them, in the deste graveyard, there suddenly appeared nine people! The leading figure was none other than Yin Xiaokong of the Fiery Mountain! His lips twisted into a bizarre smile, and the eight Great Elders behind him had faces covered in ck qi. ¡°Evil God¡¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s faces changed abruptly. They recognized the true identities of these nine people! The terrifying aura of the Evil God- All the Supremes, in this instant, were as if facing a formidable enemy, on high alert! ¡°A bunch of ignorant ants.¡± The Evil God, Yin Xiaokong, scanned them with an icy gaze. ¡°Yearn to step onto the Immortal Path? Today, I shall fulfill your wish.¡± ¡°Leveraging your Supreme paths, summon the boundless Immortal Tribtion Light, and ze a trail for me!¡± He muttered a coldmand, and suddenly, out of his body grew six more arms and a head! Two heads, eight arms! Extremely grotesque! ¡°Appear!¡± Infinite dark clouds suddenly manifested above the heads of Spirit Transcendence Venerable and the others. The dark clouds condensed into a ghastly face! ¡°He wants to devour us?!¡± ¡°Dream on!¡± ¡°Even if he is the Evil God, he shall not act recklessly!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable, both being two of the Great Saints, did not hesitate to bring out their Quasi-Immortal Artifacts! ¡°Taiyan Holy Disc!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable roared in anger, as a mysterious stone disc emitted a brilliant divine light. ¡°Ziyang Immortal Spear!¡± Primordial Yang Venerable held a bloodstained Long Spear, which brought forth endless might, charging towards those boundless dark clouds! ¡°Strike together, shatter the attack of the Evil God!¡± Luo Ming and the others roared furiously. For a moment, dozens of Supremes acted in unison! Today, nearly all the Supremes of the Southern Territory had gathered, and theirbined force was earth-shattering. Although the power of the Evil God ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡± had nearly reached that of an Immortal, under thebined force of the two Quasi-Immortal Artifacts and the dozens of Supremes, his Divine Skills were nearly shattered. But the Evil God ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡± merely sneered, waving his hand casually and the endless dark clouds dissipated. ¡°Boom ¡± Within the Supreme Burial Ground, countless Immortal Tribtion Lights suddenly erupted, shing towards Spirit Transcendence Venerable and the rest. Moreover, mixed within them were two terrifyingly unmatched tri-colored Immortal Lights! These were attracted by the might of the Quasi-Immortal Artifacts and targeted at those nearly an Immortal, Immortal Tribtion Lights. ¡°Not good, we¡¯ve been used by the Evil God!¡± ¡°He forced us to act, drawing forth the Immortal Tribtion Light, to destroy us¡¡± ¡°At the same time, it gave him the opportunity to step onto the Ascension tform!¡± Theplexions of many Supremes changed drastically as most of themcked the strength and the courage to face those Immortal Tribtion Lights. Not to mention, there were now two beams targeted at beings nearly Immortal. ¡°Enjoy death¡¡± The Evil God sneered coldly, turning into a wisp of green smoke, fluttering towards that Ascension tform! At this moment, many of the Supremes nearly despaired. ¡°Honored Supremes, please enter the pce!¡± Suddenly, a delicate shout rang out! The one speaking was Fire Spirit, who alongside Mu Qianning and Yu Qishui, had also stepped into this Supreme Burial Ground. Although their cultivation levels had not reached that of a Supreme, the Supreme Burial Ground could not stop them. Feeling the terror of the Immortal Light, Fire Spirit did not hesitate to release the ¡°Li Tian Divine Pce¡±! The grandiose pce manifested in an instant. An ancient aura unfurled. ¡°This pce¡how terrifying!¡± ¡°Go, quickly enter it!¡± ¡°Perhaps it can shield us from this cmity!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable, Yuan Yang Venerable, and the rest rushed into the Li Tian Divine Pce in a flurry. Upon entering the Li Tian Divine Pce, everyone was shocked. ¡°What kind of pce is this? Why do I feel¡ so insignificant!¡± ¡°It contains the Law of the Immortal Path and is permeated with the Law of the fire attribute.¡± ¡°This¡ could it be a true Immortal Artifact?¡± Everyone was shocked beyond measure. At this moment, the sky full of Immortal Tribtion Lights were all shing down upon the Li Tian Divine Pce. Many of the Supremes had already closed their eyes, not daring to witness the uing scene. However, the massive blow that everyone imagined did not arrive; those numerous Immortal Tribtion Lights, as they approached the Li Tian Divine Pce, dissipated on the spot. Just like snowkes melting away the instant they neared a fiery red furnace, without causing the slightest disturbance. In an instant, many of the Supremes were dumbfounded. This, this Divine Pce, just what kind of treasure is it? Even the Tribtion Lights capable of annihting beings nearly Immortal couldn¡¯t affect this Divine Pce? Too terrifying! Could it be the abode of Divine Spirits? Chapter 42 - 41 Becoming an Immortal?_i Chapter 42: Chapter 41 Bing an Immortal?_i Trantor: 549690339 Everyone was extremely shocked. Just upon entering, they had already felt that it was extraordinary. Now, seeing with their own eyes that even approaching this Divine Pce caused the Immortal Tribtion Light to disappear immediately, everyone was left gaping in amazement. ¡°This¡ What kind of treasure is this?¡± ¡°A real Immortal Artifact¡ A real Immortal Artifact¡¡± Everyone was muttering. In Xuantian Realm, almost no one had ever seen a real Immortal Artifact. Because once an Almost Immortal became an Immortal, they would quickly leave the Xuantian Realm and enter the Immortal Domain. But everyone was certain, the moment theyid eyes on it, that the grade of this Divine Pce was at least at the level of Immortal. Only an Immortal level could withstand the Immortal Tribtion Light. ¡°Miss Ling¡¯er, may I ask, is this¡ a divine item bestowed by a senior?¡± Luo Ming asked solemnly, turning to Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit nodded and said, ¡°This is but a wooden pce casually carved by Senior Li.¡± ¡°Folks, we can go out now.¡± Everyone immediately walked out from the Divine Pce. Then, with a thought from Fire Spirit, the extremely grand Divine Pce shrank to the size of a palm-sized wooden carving. It looked ancient and majestic, extraordinarily mystical. Seeing this, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with shock. ¡°I had long heard that behind Fire Country, there is an existence that surpasses even the Supreme¡ Now, having seen this, indeed it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Just a wooden carving, yet it possesses such divine might? Too terrifying.¡± ¡°Could such a being have already be an Immortal?¡± Many people spoke with reverence. After all, among the many Supremes, only Luo Ming and Hong Xuan had trulye into contact with Li Fan. And now, hearing the surrounding conversations, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan could only smile bitterly. An Immortal? That was an existence that could y Immortals without lifting a finger! But they didn¡¯t say much. At this moment, Senior Li was a taboo-like existence in their eyes. Not to be mentioned lightly. ¡°Where did you obtain that Divine Pce?¡± At this time, a cool voice suddenly rang out. Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see that beside them, a white-haired woman had appeared at some unknown time! The woman¡¯s aura was extremely cold, with a face of absolute beauty yet icy as frost, and a pair of eyes like frozenkes, seemingly capable of prating all falsehoods. Her silent and unnoticed approach went undetected by anyone in the area! ¡°Who is she?¡± ¡°Such a terrifying aura, how can she be so powerful?¡± ¡°Why do I feel that she is not weaker than that Evil God¡¡± Everyone voiced their surprise. Primordial Yang Venerable even took a deep breath and said, ¡°Almost Immortal!¡± Almost Immortal! Everyone¡¯s faces changed drastically. Above the Venerables, there were Almost Immortals. Just one more step, receiving the baptism of the Immortal Path, they could be Immortals. This was undoubtedly the most powerful existence. Even within the entire Xuantian Realm, there were only a few such beings, and almost all of them were legendary. And now, one had appeared. ¡°This item was a gift from a senior!¡± Fire Spirit spoke up, with a hint of trepidation, for she was facing an Almost Immortal. Even for Venerables, in front of such a being, they could be annihted in the blink of an eye, right? ¡°May I take a look?¡± The white-haired woman asked. ¡°No, this is an Immortal Artifact!¡± Luo Ming whispered to Fire Spirit. This Li Tian Divine Pce was a true treasure. How could it be casually shown to others? But Fire Spirit hesitated, facing an Almost Immortal. If she refused, would the other party take action? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still don¡¯t have the boldness to offend the owner of this item.¡± At this moment, the white-haired woman spoke up. Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit¡¯s heart settled. Right. This was an item bestowed by Senior Li. Even if faced with an Almost Immortal, what of it? To covet this item would probably bring great disaster upon oneself. She immediately handed over the wooden carving. The white-haired woman took it, and observed it in her hand for a long time. On her face, a look of reverence actually appeared. The more she looked, the more solemn her expression became. ¡°All.¡± In the end, she sighed deeply and returned the wooden carving to Fire Spirit, saying, ¡°Such a fortunate connection to the Immortal, truly enviable.¡± ¡°Keep it safe.¡± Having retrieved the wooden carving, Fire Spirit also breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°The Ascension tform holds great opportunity but also great danger. I had thought to advise you all to retreat, but since you have a high person backing you, it seems there will be no mishap.¡± The white-haired woman nced at everyone and said, ¡°If given the chance, after bing an Immortal, I will visit the owner of the wooden carving again.¡± Having said that, her figure vanished on the spot. The next instant, she appeared on the other side of the Supreme Burial Ground, in front of the Ascension tform! ¡°Let¡¯s go, we shall also head over!¡± ¡°The opportunity of the Immortal Path, we can obtain it too!¡± ¡°The Ascension tform has quieted down; now, we can approach.¡± The Spirit Transcendence Venerable and others also started speaking up! Immediately, everyone began to move closer to the Ascension tform. The Immortal Tribtion Light had fallen silent after the outburst just now. Soon, they had passed the Supreme Burial Ground. They appeared outside the brightly colored light screen. Within the light screen, a set of white jade stairs extended upward, their destination unknown. It seemed as though they reached straight to the heavens. ¡°This is the road to the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°Can we really enter the Immortal Domain?¡± ¡°This is a major opportunity.¡± Everyone spoke excitedly, clearly agitated. Even the Evil God and his eight minions, who had arrived before them, had also stopped, not daring to act recklessly. ¡°There is deceit here!¡± Suddenly, the Evil God turned to look at the white-haired woman. The white-haired woman nced at the Ascension tform and spoke indifferently, ¡°So what if there¡¯s deceit?¡± ¡°Nine deaths and one life on the Ascension tform.¡± She turned her head, suddenly looked at Fire Spirit, and said, ¡°My name is Jiang Xue. Please tell that senior that I am willing to be at his forefront!¡± Having said that, she took a step into the light screen. In an instant, the colorful rays enveloped her. Under the baptism of the colorful light, a majestic Immortal aura burst forth. ¡°Has she be an Immortal?¡± ¡°Has an Immortal just been born like that?¡± ¡°Heaven, isn¡¯t this too terrifying? Is this the aura of an Immortal?¡± Everyone was extremely shocked. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan were also stunned. Before this, they had felt the power of the Immortal Path when the Yaksha Demon General burned his Demon Soul, but now it seemed that it wasn¡¯t the real Immortal Path at all¡ªfar from it! The true Immortal Path was almost tremblingly awe-inspiring! Even many Venerables now felt an urge to worship. ¡°Truly be an Immortal¡ She¡¯s be an Immortal!¡± Even the Evil God ¡°Yin Xiaokong¡±, at this moment, had excitement flickering in his green pupils. His previous vignce had been overwhelmed by the temptation of bing an Immortal. He no longer hesitated and stepped into the light screen. Immediately, the colorful Immortal aura enveloped him too, and the evil and strange aura on his body began to dissipate rapidly, turning sacred instead. ¡°The Immortal Path can purify everything.¡± ¡°Even the Evil God can be an Immortal.¡± ¡°Is this what they mean by the gates to Immortality swinging wide open?¡± No one wasn¡¯t shocked. Even the eight Demon Generals following the Evil God stepped inside one by one. Afterward, they too received the Immortal Path¡¯s baptism. ¡°The Venerables can too!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°This is the greatest opportunity in thousands of years!¡± The Venerables from forces like the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and entered one after another. ¡°With the baptism of the Immortal Path, my life has been rekindled!¡± An old Venerable who had almost turned to dust cried out in surprise; his white hair turned ck, the old skin peeled away, and he became vigorous, regaining the look of his prime. ¡°A qualitative leap. So this is the Immortal Path, this is the Immortal Path!¡± Some Venerables murmured to themselves, sensing the difference in the Great Path! For a time, almost all the Venerables had entered. Even the Spirit Transcendence Venerable, the Primordial Yang Venerable, and others stepped inside. ¡°What should we do? Should we enter?¡± Mu Qianning watched all this, her beautiful eyes filled with longing! This was the chance to be an Immortal¡ Fire Spirit nodded and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± They stepped directly into it as well! The Immortal aura baptized everyone inside. Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and the others weren¡¯t of high Realm, not even reaching the Mahayana Realm, but now their Cultivation Levels were soaring! Divided Spirit Realm. Hollow Void Realm! Hollow Void Realmpletion! Mahayana Realm! Their Cultivation Levels were increasing at a terrifying rate! ¡°I have be an Immortal and may enter the Immortal Domain!¡± The Evil Godughed wildly as he stepped onto the white jade stairs. And in that moment, suddenly, a terrifying aura descended! The dazzling colorful light vanished abruptly! ¡°The fish are in the, time to pull it in.¡± An indifferent and ruthless voice suddenly resounded from the end of the Ascension tform! Instantly, everyone below had their faces change dramatically! Chapter 43 - 42 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Appears -1 Chapter 43: Chapter 42 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Appears -1 Trantor: 549690339 Just when all the Supremes had entered the light curtain and received the baptism of the Immortal Path, such a sudden change urred. Instantly, the sacred, multicolored aura surrounding the Ascension tform disappearedpletely, reced by a chilling presence that enveloped the area. Above the Sky Domain, a terrifying presence suddenly emerged, with a powerful silhouette appearing amidst the clouds. It was a middle-aged man with grey hair, seated above the clouds, looking down upon the multitude of Supremes below. His ck robe draped down, as if he ruled from above the ninth heavens. Beside him, the aura of the Immortal Path lingered. ¡°Who is this?¡± ¡°The aura of the Immortal Path¡ This is an Immortal!¡± ¡°Why has an Immortal appeared here? Who are they? What is their purpose?¡± Everyone was shocked as they looked at the being above the clouds. The entity above the clouds looked down indifferently, the corners of his mouth revealing the slightest of cold smirks. ¡°The Almost Immortals and Supremes of the Southern Territory have all gathered here; from this moment forward, the foundation of this realm¡¯s path will be severed!¡± His indifferent voice boomedrgely, and as he raised a hand, all of the Supremes below suddenly experienced a great terror; they began to vomit blood in unison! ¡°No¡ Why can¡¯t I control my spiritual power anymore?¡± ¡°My vitality is severely damaged¡ No, wait, the Immortal Spirit Qi I just inhaled is reducing my cultivation level!¡± ¡°This¡ this isn¡¯t Immortal Spirit Qi at all! What in the world is this?!¡± At that moment, all the Supremes were panicked. The Immortal Spirit Qi they had greedily absorbed was now violently destroying their vitality. Their foundation was destroyed! ¡°No¡ How could my Supreme cultivation be¡¡± A Supreme¡¯s expression changed drastically as his cultivation level plummeted to the Venerable Realm! ¨C One may be called a Supreme upon reaching the Nine Heavens Integration, while those below it would be deemed Venerables. But then, something even more terrifying happened. Some Supremes fell even further, down to the Mahayana Realm! ¡°No¡ I cannot ept this, I won¡¯t ept this!¡± ¡°¡ My foundation is shattered¡ my cultivation level!¡± ¡°What kind of devil¡¯s curse is this¡ No!¡± Everyone was howling in anguish, regardless of whether they were a Supreme or a Saint Master; everyone was undergoing pain! ¡°The light just now was not from the Ascension tform at all; it was a trap deliberately set!¡± The white-haired woman had a trickle of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth! ¡°How is this possible¡ No¡ no! Who exactly are you, poisoning us like this!¡± Even the Evil God stared with eyes wide in horror, looking extremely frightened as he nced at the being in the clouds. Even he, who had one foot already on the Immortal Path, couldn¡¯t withstand this erosion. ¡°Poisoning? Merely a bunch of ants.¡± The being sitting above the clouds opened his icy mouth. He turned his eyes towards a certain point in the Sky Vault and said: ¡°Once the ants of this realm turn into my puppets, the ¡®World Tree¡¯ will be rootless, and it would be easy to obtain¡ Heh heh.¡± A deep hue shed in his eyes. Below, there was nothing but wailing. The white-haired woman too spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She looked towards the Sky Vault and shouted, ¡°The Ascension tform is set by the Immortal Domain; by causing chaos here, are you not afraid of angering the Immortal Domain?!¡± Having spoken, she suddenly took out a Jade Vial, within which was a drop of crystal-clear blood! That was the blood of an Immortal! ¡°Immortal Blood Communicates with Heaven!¡± With a low roar, she furiously smashed the Jade Vial onto the Ascension tform. Suddenly, the Ascension tform shed with immortal light! The real Ascension tform had awakened! ¡°Roar¡ª¡± Immense Immortal might surged forth as if a Giant Dragon was awakening, and above the Sky Vault, it seemed as if space and time were shifting! In the middle of the Sky Vault, the barrier between realms gradually became visible, representing an invisible chasm in the heavens! On the other side of the barrier, a silhouette now appeared. ¡°Who dares disturb the Ascension tform of the Lower World?¡± An indifferent voice spread. In an instant, all of the Supremes beneath the Ascension tform were filled with excitement. ¡°This is a being from the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°A being from the Immortal Domain has sensed this ce¡ The Immortal Domain won¡¯t let this person do as they please!¡± ¡°Superior Immortal, save us!¡± Countless Supremes cried out loudly! The existence behind the barrier, with lightning in their gaze, scanned the crowd below, and was taken aback upon seeing the being seated in the clouds. ¡°This person has set a deadly trap on the Ascension tform, scheming against us all. Please, Immortal Domain, uphold justice!¡± The white-haired woman called out loudly. Her cultivation level was declining, but her voice could still prate the realm barrier! Behind the realm barrier, the figure stared at the entity above the clouds and said in a deep voice, ¡°Who are you? How dare you set a trap to assassinate at our Sect¡¯s Ascension tform!¡± ¡°Are you trying to challenge the Immortal Domain?¡± His words were filled with rage. However, the entity sitting above the clouds sneered: ¡°Challenge the Immortal Domain? Heh, what Ascension tform? It¡¯s just a small Sect Gate on the frontier of the Immortal Domain, a tool to select disciples, and you speak of the Immortal Domain?¡± He indifferently revealed a profound secret. The existence behind the realm barrier, at that moment, was furiously enraged. ¡°I¡¯m going to see for myself who you truly are!¡± As the voice of the existence behind the realm barrier fell, suddenly, a figure crossed the realm barrier and appeared in this Sky Domain. He had crossed realms! The aura was extremely powerful. It was a middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe, staring at the entity above the clouds, he said, ¡°I grant you death!¡± As soon as he spoke, he raised his palm, bringing forth endless winds and clouds, and thunderously struck towards the entity above the clouds. In the sky, a huge palm formed from Spiritual Power appeared, and the overwhelming Immortal Spirit Qi made countless Supremes below kneel and prostrate! But the entity sitting in the clouds just let out a coldugh and said, ¡°A mere projection of a Human Immortal dares to be so arrogant?¡± With a flick of his finger, In an instant, the palm carrying endless majesty dissipated! The blue-robed Immortal¡¯splexion drastically changed, and he said, ¡°Not good¡ True Immortal?!¡± He turned to flee, but after taking only one step, his bodypletely shattered, turning into streams of immortal light that dissipated on the spot. ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Behind the realm barrier, a certain existence suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant! Do you think my Sectcks True Immortals?!¡± ¡°Call forth the Sect Master!¡± The existence behind the realm barrier roared angrily, calling for aid! It did not take long for another figure to appear behind the realm barrier! A pair of eyes like lightning pierced through the realm barrier,nding on the entity above the clouds. ¡°Why do you cause trouble at our Sect¡¯s Ascension tform, and even attack our Sect?!¡± The authoritative voice boomed! However, the entity above the clouds sneered and said, ¡°We are both in the True Immortal Realm, at most you can project a clone over here, thus, you have no right to speak to me.¡± ¡°Begone!¡± A terse rebuke! On the other side of the realm barrier, silence ensued! Because what the entity above the clouds had said was true; the strong entities within the Immortal Domain, to cross the realm barrier, would pay a heavy price. And a mere projection¡ was no match for the entity above the clouds. ¡°Sect Master, abandon these ants of the Lower World, the cost is too great,¡± ¡°Indeed, missing one realm to recruit disciples is negligible, but to truly fight across realms¡ we cannot afford it,¡± From behind the realm barrier, the voices of Immortals faintly echoed! Seeing this scene, all the people in the Xuantian Realm below were utterly despairing. It¡¯s over. Even the entities of the Immortal Domain cannot stop it? Are we¡ all doomed to die? ¡°I don¡¯t want to die¡ why would a generation of Immortals resort to such despicable tactics against us?!¡± ¡°The legacy of the Southern Territory, it can be said, is now severed¡ Almost Immortals dead, Supremes lost¡¡± ¡°Heavens, how could such an evil person be an Immortal?!¡± They roared in anger, they wailed in grief. The Evil God couldn¡¯t stand it any longer; he copsed on the ground, vomiting blood and his cultivation plummeting. The white-haired woman¡¯splexion was extremely pale, and she was feeling incredibly weak, yet she turned her head to look at Fire Spirit. ¡°With both the Immortal Domain and the dark hand appearing, isn¡¯t it time for¡ that person to take action?!¡± She spoke. Luo Ming, Hong Xuan, and others also turned to look at Fire Spirit and herpanions. All the Supremes and Almost Immortals present were destroyed by the Immortal Spirit Qi that had been absorbed into their bodies just now, but Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning werepletely unharmed! Initially, Yu Qishui was spitting up blood profusely, but Fire Spirit immediately provided him with the Li Tian Divine Pce, and the Immortal Spirit Qi within Yu Qishui¡¯s body was also instantly suppressed! Therefore, the three of them were now the only ones in the areapletely unharmed! Seeing the Immortals appearing, Fire Spirit was already extremely shocked; hearing the white-haired woman¡¯s words, she quickly realized and stepped forward, saying, ¡°Senior Li, we were prepared!¡± After she finished speaking, a scroll suddenly appeared in her hand! She slowly, unfurled the scroll!! Chapter 44 - 43 The Sword that Stunned the Immortal Domaini Chapter 44: Chapter 43 The Sword that Stunned the Immortal Domaini Trantor: 549690339 | Fire Spirit took a step forward, her expression so serene that it surpassed all the Almost Immortals and Supremes present, and she finally began to unfold the piece of paper in her hand. As the paper slowly opened, it left her grasp and flew autonomously into the high sky above. The paper slowly unfolded, and in an instant, everyone had the illusion that vast oceans surged and primordial chaos resurfaced! A towering sword intent suddenly spread across thousands of miles in the Sky Domain, its invincible might causing the entire Sky Vault to tremble! ¡°One!¡± The first character appeared! ¡°Boom???? ¡± In a sh, above the Sky Vault, countless clouds burst apart, turning into a sky full of ruins! The True Immortal-level beings sitting above the clouds showed a hint of horror in their eyes as their Immortal Clouds disintegrated beneath them! They themselves were pressed by that terrifyingly unparalleled sword intent, plunging downwards at high speed! When this character appeared, the sky could no longer amodate any other existence; for thousands of miles the clouds fractured, and even True Immortals had to retreat! Rapidly falling, they finally crashed onto thend of the Cangli Mountain Range, raising their eyes to the high sky,pletely shocked and stupefied! ¡°Sword!¡± The second character appeared! ¡°Boom boom boom???? ¡± The sky exploded, and with this character at the center, the sword intent roared out, piercing through ny thousand miles of space! At this moment, the entire Sky Vault of the Southern Territory seemed as if it had been shed by a peerless sword, clouds scattered over ten thousand miles, and billions of creatures trembled, looking up at the sky! The sky was formless, but in everyone¡¯s heart, they felt as though an ancient divine sword stretched across the Sky Vault of the entire Southern Territory! In an instant, the whole Southern Territory was boiling and shocked. Countless Sect Gates were astounded. In the Southern Territory, a Holy Land ready to wage a sacred war suddenly halted, its Sect Master and all the Supremes trembling and staring dumbfounded as they sensed the sword intenting from the sky! And at this moment, above the Ascension tform! ¡°Suppress!¡± The third character appeared! ¡°Bang bang bang???? ¡± The Sky Vault for ny thousand miles, from top to bottom, was as if the sword intent became a gxy falling from the ninth heaven, copsing and rushing down irresistibly! ¡°Thump!¡± ¡°Thump thump! All the Supremes and Almost Immortals watching the character appear below, could not help but kneel down at this moment! Prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling as if insignificant ants suddenly felt the might of an ancient giant dragon! ¡°How¡ how is this possible!¡± The True Immortal stood among countless Supreme Burial Grounds, his normally upright figure now crumbled, as if bearing the weight of ten thousand pounds! ¡°I am a True Immortal, who can make me kneel¡¡± He gritted his teeth, but the next moment, the sword intent roared towards him, and his kneecaps shattered with a ¡°crack¡±, and he knelt in the burial grounds, the True Immortal¡¯s Blood staining the ¡°Three Lives Soil¡± below! ¡°No¡¡± He struggled to raise his eyes, filled with sheer despair. Just what kind of existence was this, with such might! Even True Immortals had to kneel before it! In the face of such might, even True Immortals had no right to resist! ¡°Heaven!¡± The fourth character appeared! With the appearance of this character, the Sword Qi shocked the heavens, and the Ascension tform shattered into dust, no longer existing! The astonishing Sword Qi furiously struck the barrier, causing it to instantly disperse. This sword cleaved through the barrier! A corner of the Immortal Domain appeared before the eyes of the world like never before: a world shrouded in mist, filled with countless Immortal Pces,nds that stretched billions of feet, with divine nations and halls spread throughout¡ But under this sword, the Immortal Pces trembled, the divine nations shook greatly, and the halls copsed! ¡°No! What existence¡¯s Edict is this?! No!¡± Behind the barrier, the True Immortal Sect Master of that sect screamed in terror. They, too, knelt down, lying prostrate on the ground! ¡°South!¡± Thest character appeared, sword intent reaching unhindered toward the south of Immortal Domain. Wherever it passed, space turned dark, ceasing to exist, like a meteor leaving behind a burning trail¡ Above the Sky Vault. Only five characters proudly stood. ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens!¡± Five big characters, each stroke exuding a world-shocking Sword Qi, reaching up to the Sky Vault and down to the ninehers, breaking through barriers, suppressing Immortal Domain! The vast Sword Qi swept away all the Yin and evil! ¡°Ah? ¡± The Evil Gody prostrate on the ground, but under the overwhelming awe of the Great Dao, his body disintegrated! He perished, soul and all! Behind him, the eight Demon Generals exploded into pieces. Even the True Immortals kneeling in the Supreme Burial Ground had the utmost despair in their eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he said nothing and exploded into a mist of blood! The blood of the True Immortals dyed the entire Supreme Burial Ground! The entire Cangli Mountain Range, where the remaining dark souls had already perished, saw the dark aura dissipatedpletely¡ Heaven and earth returned to a state of natural grandeur. One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens. The people prostrated themselves. The Immortals trembled. At this moment. The vast and boundless Immortal Domain. Xianyu Southern Border! This ce was a battlefield, a ughter ground where Immortals and Devils fought to the death, where Immortals cried out and Devils roared, evil energy eroding the Immortal Spirit Qi¡ ¡ªEver since a Demon Monarch emerged from the forbidden area of Dead Spirit Sea a hundred years ago and returned to the Immortal Domain, his Demon Soldiers had spread throughout the entire Xianyu Southern Border. Over the past hundred years, Golden Immortals had perished, while Profound Immortals and True Immortals were trampled like ants¡ At this moment, atop an ancient Immortal City, the desperate defenders of the Immortal Domain watched the endless shadows of demons and were ready to give up the fight. ¡°Not a single Immortal Monarch is willing to support the Southern Border¡¡± The one in charge of defending the city was a Golden Immortal. His Immortal Sword already had many nicks, and behind him, there were only a few hundred people left. Everyone was drenched in Demon Blood. Despair filled their expressions. ¡°The citizens of Xianyu Southern Border are about to be blood food for the Devils, yet the high and mighty Immortal Monarchs and Kings turn a blind eye¡ all because a generation¡¯s Sword Dao Immortal King of our Southern Territory had once defeated them all¡¡± A trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of the Golden Immortal¡¯s mouth, and tears fell from his eyes. He raised his Immortal Sword and let out a mournful cry: ¡°Limitless Immortal King¡ your subjects are now being ughtered by Devils!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you return!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you return, ah!¡± His tears were ice cold! Behind him, three hundred Immortal Soldiers roared with rage! Calling out for the Immortal King of the past¡ The Immortal King who once fought across the Immortal Domain¡ The Immortal King who once stood tall over the entire Immortal Domain atop the Southern Border¡ But there was no response. Between heaven and earth, only the triumphant howls of the Devils could be heard! The Golden Immortal fell silent. He looked ahead and saw Demons devouring infants, skeletons riding on undead warhorses, using bone knives to slit open the bellies of pregnant women¡ ¡°Kill!¡± He raised his broken sword! Preparing for one final charge! Among the ranks of Devils, a gigantic demonic hand was already overwhelming the skies, pressing down! The Golden Immortal could feel iting from a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Demon General; he knew that he and the thirty million citizens behind the city walls of the Southern Border would all perish under this hand¡ Still, he roared and charged forward! But, it was at this exact moment! A magnificent sword intent, seeming to sweep in from another dimension in time and space, suddenly covered the skies of the Southern Border! That sword intent made the citizens of the Southern Border tremble, and the Immortals to be shocked! At this moment, everyone in the Southern Border stared dumbly at the terrifying sword intent. The sword intent swept in and cut into the ranks of the Devils! The scene was so frightening that people momentarily went deaf. Before their eyes, they saw the vast and limitless ranks of the Devils crumble like paper, turning into dust. Wherever that sword intent went, nothing but a True Void was left; not a drop of Demon Blood from the devils¡¯ bodies managed to remain; it evaporated instantly¡ Even the Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Demon Generals were turned to dust under that sword intent¡ Thends once seized by the Devils, under the advance of that one sword, became clear skies once again¡ All of this, the people situated in the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm had no way of knowing. Countless Supremes knelt on the ground; atop the Immortal Domain, the Immortals from Qinghua Sect were also lying prostrate, trembling. They all felt as if time had stretched for a century. Until after a long, long while. It was as if an ancient Divine Sword, having searched the world and found no rivals, finally sheathed itself with resignation. The paper rolled up on its own. It fell. In a sh, the sword intent in the heavens and earth dissipated. Only now did the boundary wall slowly recover, reappearing once again. Yet both worlds at this moment were silent, as if everything in existence had lost its voice. The whole world seemed so quiet¡ Chapter 45 - 44 The Zither and Brush of the Three Absolute Immortali Chapter 45: Chapter 44 The Zither and Brush of the Three Absolute Immortali Trantor: 549690339 The world had quieted to an extreme. The scroll that had echoed through the Jiuxiao Immortal Domain, oppressing the entire Xuan Tian Realm, had gently fallen and returned to Fire Spirit¡¯s hands. However, the myriad Supremes around her were still kneeling, unable to stand for a long time. They had been thoroughly conquered. Fire Spirit held the scroll in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled withplexity. To what grade had this piece of calligraphy reached? Senior Li¡ what kind of existence was he, really? Before, they had thought that Senior Li was a being who transcended the Supreme, a single painting that could y a Demon Venerable. But now, a piece of Senior Li¡¯s calligraphy had made Immortals bleed in the Supreme Burial Ground, Almost Immortals kneel, and Supremes prostrate themselves¡ They couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine the realm of Senior Li. ¡°This is just one piece of calligraphy from Senior Li¡¡± Mu Qianning murmured, gazing up at the heavens above¡ Therey the Immortal Land that so many cultivators in the Xuan Tian Realm aspired to reach in their dreams, where entry meant truly stepping onto the Immortal Path. Throughout the entire history of the Xuan Tian Realm, those who had managed to enter were few and far between. Yet now, a single scroll had managed to shatter the boundary wall¡ This was terrifying¡ Gradually, the Supremes kneeling on the ground began to regain their senses as the cold wind blew past them, bringing them back to the reality of the world. ¡°A true Goddess!¡± Some Supremes looked at Fire Spirit with eyes full of worship! ¡°An emissary of a Supreme being, behind Fire Country lies such a formidable and absolutely terrifying personage¡¡± ¡°Too frightful, when did such a being appear in the Xuan Tian Realm¡¡± All of them hadplex expressions. Luo Ming and Hong Xuan, observing the painting in Fire Spirit¡¯s hands, prostrated themselvespletely, their hearts filled with utmost reverence! ¡°At first, we thought Senior Li was a powerful Immortal. Now it seems his identity is probably beyond our wildest imagination¡¡± ¡°Even True Immortals, even the Sect Gates above the Immortal Domain, submit to his calligraphy¡¡± Luo Ming¡¯s eyes were filled with sheer adoration. ¡°Senior Li is definitely a major figure in the Immortal Realm, capable of breaking through boundaries¡ This is something rarely seen even in the legends of the Immortal Path.¡± Hong Xuan also spoke, feeling a chill retrospectively. Fortunately, they of the Taiyan Holy Land had chosen to stand on this Senior¡¯s side. ¡°Looking at it now, we have significantly underestimated the major figure behind Fire Country¡¡± The Saint Master Ling Chao Supreme of the Taiyan Holy Land couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly, nced toward Primordial Yang Venerable and said, ¡°Even if the founders of our Holy Lands were to return, they would probably¡ probably choose to retreat¡¡± For the Holy Lands, their founders were the object of their faith and pride. Now that he had uttered such words, it was apparent how deeply he had been shaken. ¡°Such a being must surelye from the Immortal Domain, and we are nothing more than pawns under his hand¡¡± Primordial Yang Venerable spoke, his expression incredibly grave as he spected, looking towards the Supreme Burial Ground where a pool of True Immortal¡¯s Blood had dyed the ground red, and said, ¡°Clearly, someone is plotting against the entire Southern Territory, even the entire Xuan Tian Realm!¡± ¡°And all of this has not escaped that being¡¯s eyes; thus, he bestowed the Wan Shan Ju Long Tu, allowing us to enter it and even to lure out the True Immortals behind it all, annihting them in one fell swoop!¡± ¡°Such a grand scheme, such a magnificent spirit¡ The Holy Land bows down, the True Immortals vanquished¡¡± His voice was filled with an almost tremulous awe. ¡°It¡¯sughable that we used to think that Senior Li¡¯s target was the Evil God; now it seems that to him, this so-called Evil God is nothing more than a de of grass by the roadside, no, not even a de of grass!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerableughed bitterly! Looking back now, their initial judgment of this Senior¡ was utterly absurd! The level of the other party, was simply beyond their capacity to admire. All the Supremes felt shocked but also joyous. ¡°The rogue Spiritual Power in my body has vanished, and my strength is recovering!¡± ¡°That piece of calligraphy possesses Supreme power to suppress all evil and nefarious forces!¡± ¡°With the death of the True Immortal, the Spiritual Power he left necessarily dissipated like smoke!¡± The fear of falling in realm and being controlled disappeared in that instant. ¡°True Immortal vanquished, Sword breaking through the Immortal Domain¡ what kind of existence is this Senior? Such an awe-inspiring spirit¡ The white-haired woman also murmured to herself, then she turned her head, looked at Fire Spirit, and said, ¡°May I have the honor to meet this Senior?¡± She was extremely solemn. Fire Spirit was taken aback by the request, this woman was an Almost Immortal after all¡ One of the pinnacle figures in the entire Xuan Tian Realm. And now she too wished to meet Senior Li¡ ¡°If possible, we also wish to see this Senior, please give us a chance!¡± At this moment, Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable also appealed to Fire Spirit and herpanions. They were all extremely deferential! Although Yu Qishui, Mu Qianning, and others were only at the Mahayana Realm now, they did not dare to show disrespect because the person behind Mu Qianning was that Senior. Fire Spirit looked at Yu Qishui and Mu Qianning, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. ¡°Qian Ning, what do you think?¡± Yu Qishui was also unsure and turned to Mu Qianning. In fact, it was Mu Qianning who had initially received Senior Li¡¯s favor. Even though Fire Spirit had received many gifts from Senior Li before and after, she was very clear that without Mu Qianning, none of it would have been possible. Mu Qianning thought for a moment but shook her head and said, ¡°Senior Li likes quiet, likes to lead the life of a mortal, I think he wouldn¡¯t want to be disturbed.¡± ¡°However, we can go and ask for Senior Li¡¯s opinion first.¡± Upon hearing this, both Fire Spirit and Yu Qishui nodded; that seemed for the best. ¡°Respected Seniors, we cannot decide by ourselves, we need to ask that Senior first.¡± Yu Qishui spoke up. However, everyone nodded, saying, ¡°Of course, of course, with such a personage as that senior, we shall wait.¡± There wasn¡¯t a hint of displeasure. Even the white-haired woman didn¡¯t say anything, though a slight look of disappointment was evident in her eyes. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, since the matter here is concluded, it is time for us to depart.¡± At this time, Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke up. The Ascension tform was already destroyed, and the killing scheme had been unraveled, leaving everyone somewhat relieved. Immediately after, they turned around and began making preparations to leave. Right, the True Immortal¡¯s Blood spilled all over the ground, what a peerless treasure¡¡± At this moment, a Supreme spoke up, a fervent look in his eyes. Primordial Yang Venerable and Spirit Transcendence Venerable exchanged looks and respectfully turned to Mu Qianning, asking, ¡°Miss, may we collect this item?¡± Everything must first be discussed with the emissary of that senior. Mu Qianning quickly waved her hand, saying, ¡°The two seniors may do as you please.¡± Upon hearing this, the two Saint Masters were ted beyond expectation! Many Supremes then came forward, carefully collecting the True Immortal¡¯s Blood. ¡°Haha, this is truly a great opportunity! A drop of True Immortal¡¯s Blood could create a new Holy Land¡¡± ¡°Indeed, it could allow aplete Supreme toprehend the Immortal Path!¡± ¡°This is also a blessing granted by that very existence¡¡± Everyone was extremely joyful! ¡°Senior, won¡¯t you collect some?¡± At this time, Mu Qianning looked at the white-haired woman with curiosity. Being an Almost Immortal, perhaps she could be an Immortal directly if she acquired the True Immortal¡¯s Blood? But the woman shook her head, looking towards the calligraphy in Fire Spirit¡¯s hands, saying, ¡°I have already beheld the true Supreme Immortal Path. All other paths are but dust.¡± All are but dust! Mu Qianning immediately understood that this Almost Immortal had set her heart on seeking an audience with Senior Li, indifferent even to the True Immortal¡¯s Blood¡ While people were collecting the True Immortal blood, a grave suddenly cracked open, and two rays of light flew towards Mu Qianning and the others. ¡°What is that?!¡± ¡°Protect the envoys!¡± Everyone hastily shouted, with some Supremes quickly standing in front of Fire Spirit and the others, fearing they would get hurt. However, those two rays of light hovered in front of them, motionless. It was an ancient and unadorned Seven-Stringed Zither, along with a mottled brush! A zither and a brush! They exuded an aura of antiquity. ¡°This¡¡± Everyone was taken aback. ¡°The zither and brush of the Three Absolutes.¡± The white-haired woman spoke up, with a slight sigh. Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked! The zither and brush of the Three Absolutes! ¡°The Three Absolutes¡ It truly is the zither and brush of the Three Absolute Immortal. It is said that after bing an Immortal, he did not take the Immortal Artifacts into the Immortal Realm but left them in the Xuantian Realm for theter generations¡ 1 never imagined it to be true!¡± ¡°These are two Immortal Artifacts¡ too terrifying. No wonder, no wonder Three Absolutes Holy Landunched a campaign to the Southern Territory!¡± ¡°Why would the Immortal Artifacts of the Three Absolutes Immortal suddenly appear¡ could it be that the treasures are seeking refuge?!¡± Everyone was extremely shocked. These were two Immortal Artifacts that, if their existence were made known, would shake the entire Xuantian Realm. If the Three Absolutes Holy Land were to obtain them, it could very likely create several more Immortals. It should be noted that the Three Absolute Immortal was known for excelling in zither, calligraphy, and painting. A zither and a brush were the embodiment of his Immortal Path, containing the secrets of the Immortal Path. At the same time, they were also guessing why the two Immortal Artifacts had suddenly appeared. ¡°Clearly, this is just the treasures seeking refuge,¡± said Spirit Transcendence Venerable with a sigh. ¡°In the entire Xuantian Realm, no one but that senior could make sentient Immortal Artifacts automatically follow and attach themselves¡¡± Complex expressions filled everyone¡¯s eyes. Many people would fight tooth and nail over these treasures, unable to obtain them even if they begged, yet the treasures chose to follow someone on their own initiative¡ ¡°Master, what should we do with these?¡± Mu Qianning asked Yu Qishui. Yu Qishui hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s collect them for now and present them to Senior Li!¡± Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning both nodded, and with a gentle gesture, the two treasures fell into their hands. Although the eyes of many Supremes were filled with fervor, no one dared harbor any thoughts of covetousness. It was a joke¡ªsince even True Immortals had perished, who would dare to court death so blindly? After the two Immortal Artifacts were collected, everyone turned back and finished gathering the True Immortal¡¯s Blood, not a single drop left. Afterward, the group left the Cangli Mountain Range in a grand procession. Meanwhile. A massive army that blotted out the skies was approaching the Cangli Mountain Range! Within the army, the war banners of the Three Absolutes Holy Land were held high. Majestic and imposing! ¡°We of the Three Absolutes Holy Land havee for vengeance!¡± ¡°The scoundrels who harmed our Holy Land¡¯s Tie Ming and Shi Tai, show yourselves and meet your demise!¡± The voice of a Supreme resonated throughout thend! Chapter 46 - 45: Antique?_i Chapter 45: Antique?_i Trantor: 549690339 | The sacred army of the Three Absolutes Holy Land had already made its way into the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range. Gazing at the copsed expanses of the Cangli Mountain Range ahead, every face bore an eager, restless expression. ¡°The Immortal Artifact left by our ancestor is within this mountain range.¡± ¡°Should we obtain it, we shall reforge supreme glory; the entire Xuantian Realm will acknowledge our preeminence!¡± ¡°I can hardly wait,¡± someone said. Leading the vanguard of the sacred army were, astonishingly, the seven Supreme figures! Saint Changsun Liancheng stood before the seven Supremes, his eyes shimmering with an ambitious, cold smirk. ¡°That earth-shattering Sword Dao that appeared earlier could have been the release from the ancestor¡¯s Immortal Artifact!¡± ¡°After all, our ancestor gleaned the Supreme Sword Dao from his calligraphy¡ª it is he alone who would dare to possess such terrifying sword intent!¡± He spoke. At these words, the six Supremes behind him all nodded, their desire to seize the relics of the Three Absolute Immortal growing even more urgent. ¡°Spread the word to all beings in the Cangli Mountain Range, announce our arrival!¡± Changsun Lianchengmanded icily. Immediately, a Supreme shouted: ¡°We of the Three Absolutes Holy Land havee for vengeance!¡± ¡°The culprits who harmed our Holy Land¡¯s Tie Ming and Shi Tai, show yourselves and meet your doom!¡± This was their banner, their reason for mobilization. Now that they had reached the Cangli Mountain Range, it was naturally time to dere their intentions. ¡°Advance towards the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± After spreading the message, Changsun Liancheng gestured with his hand and continued forward. They were now inching closer to the small mountain vige where Li Fan resided. Meanwhile. ¡°We have received great kindness from Senior Li, to not offer our thanks would be gravely discourteous. We ask these sacred envoys to convey our regards on our behalf.¡± Stepping out of the Cangli Mountain Range, the Spirit Transcendence Venerable and others spoke up again before departing. Reverence and eagerness shone boldly in their eyes. Such was the being who could y a True Immortal; to behold him even once in a lifetime was an unimaginable stroke of immortal fate. ¡°We are aware that we must not disturb the honored elder¡¯s meditative tranquility, so the rest are waiting ten li away from the elder¡¯s retreat,¡± the Primordial Yang Venerable also said. The white-haired woman looked towards Mu Qianning. This made Mu Qianning hesitate momentarily. She was unsure of what to do. ¡°Perhaps Senior Li still has need of them. Let things take their course,¡± said Yu Qishui, ¡°just guide the few of them into the vige. If Senior Li declines to meet them, they can then depart.¡± Mu Qianning immediately replied, ¡°Very well, then please follow me.¡± Thereupon, the other Supremes with their entourage stopped ten li outside the small mountain vige. Meanwhile, Mu Qianning and two others led the white-haired woman and the two Saint Masters into the vige. They entered the small mountain vige. ¡°The Cangli Mountain Range has copsed, yet this ce remains so serene and undisturbed¡ªit truly is miraculous¡¡± the Spirit Transcendence Venerable eximed in admiration. ¡°A ce of reclusion for a peerless powerful being, I can already faintly sense the numerous principles contained within this tranquility,¡± remarked the Primordial Yang Venerable with great solemnity. The white-haired woman¡¯s cool gaze swept over every nt and tree in the vige, and a hint of longing surfaced in her beautiful eyes. The ordinary mountain people toiling in the fields. The blond-haired children frolicking by the roadside. The white-haired elderly basking in the sun within the courtyards. It all exuded an air of rare tranquility and peace. ¡°Even as mortals, they possess opportunities and happiness even immortals yearn for but cannot obtain¡¡± She murmured with envy. Before long, the group finally arrived in front of Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Wu¡¯erXianting!¡± The que, handwritten by Li Fan himself, appeared before their eyes, and they were all instantly astonished. ¡°These four characters contain such distinct Sword Dao¡¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable murmured. Unlike ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,¡± which boasted a peerless, awe-inspiring presence that shook the Immortal Domain, these four characters represented an ultimate freedom and carefree spirit, as though transcending time and space. Mysterious and unfathomable. ¡°The great being who resides within, this is but a leisurely courtyard, yet for themon people, it is a terrifying world.¡± The silver-haired woman¡¯s eyes sparkled with fascination, and at this moment, she felt more certain than ever about her previous decision¡ªit was exceedingly wise! All notions of True Immortal¡¯s Blood, despite its potential to grant immortality, seemed like mere dustpared to the fateful encounters of this ce! Hardly worth mentioning! Mu Qianning stepped forward, knocked on the door, and asked, ¡°Is Senior Li in?¡± Inside the courtyard, Zi Ling was painting. Over the past few days, she had drawn the egg before her hundreds of times and had gradually begun to perceive subtle patterns previously unnoticed. The egg in her eyes was no longer the same egg, fueling her excitement and deepening her fascination with painting the egg. Meanwhile, Nan Feng was ying the zither, with melodious tunes flowing gracefully. Compared to her first performance, many ws in her music had vanished, bing ever more seamless. Just after Li Fan had finished cutting meat to feed the cat, he heard Mu Qianning¡¯s voice outside and immediately said, ¡°Yes,e in.¡± Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, among others, then entered. Li Fan smiled and asked, ¡°How is everything? All going smoothly?¡± He figured that with his calligraphy and painting, even grand exhibitions or auctions wouldn¡¯t be a challenge for them. At those words, Fire Spirit bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Thank you, Senior, for your calligraphy and painting, everything has gone smoothly.¡± ¡°In addition, we¡¯ve also obtained these two items, specially brought for you, Senior.¡± She and Mu Qianning presented a zither and a brush. Upon seeing these two items, Nan Feng and Zi Ling were both shocked. ¡°Are these¡ the brush and zither of the Ancestor?¡± Zi Ling looked dumbfounded. Nan Feng was murmuring, ¡°The treasures the Holy Land has sought for countless years without a glimpse, now actuallyid before someone¡¡± They were both from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, and within it, there were countless replicas of these two Immortal Artifacts. Even though they had never seen the originals, they recognized them at first nce. Li Fan turned to them and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you recognize them?¡± Nan Feng nodded and said, ¡°Our Ancestor used this zither and this brush.¡± ¡°A thousand years ago, when the Ancestor left, we¡¯ve been searching for the zither and brush but never found a trace.¡± She was candid. Hearing this, Li Fan immediately understood. So these were antiques that were over a thousand years old! Tsk tsk, they must be quite valuable¡ It seems Fire Spirit and the others have started to make money from their business, so out of gratitude and knowing his fondness for ying music and calligraphy, they specially bought these millennium-old antiques as a gift? Actually, there was no need for such grand gestures; Li Fan could tell at a nce that these so-called ancient relics were merely average, their workmanship and material weren¡¯t even as good as his own¡ But no matter how you looked at it, it was a gesture from Fire Spirit and the others, and since it happened to have a connection with Nan Feng and Zi Ling, Li Fan said, ¡°Well then, thank you very much.¡± He smiled towards Zi Ling Nan Feng and said, ¡°Zi Ling Nan Feng, since these two items are fated for you, you should keep them.¡± After all, these two items were much better than what Zi Ling and Nan Feng were currently using. On hearing this, Zi Ling Nanfeng were instantly shocked. Were they giving these to them? These were Immortal Artifacts¡ Their teacher¡ was too very generous, wasn¡¯t he?! Chapter 47 - 46 What is an Immortal?—1 Chapter 46 What is an Immortal?¡ª1 Trantor: 549690339 I Hearing that Li Fan had agreed to ept the two artifacts, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were overjoyed, believing that they had finally done something that aligned with Senior Li¡¯s wishes¡ However, they did not expect Li Fan to give them away to Zi Ling and Nan Feng immediately? They were both extremely surprised. But then again, after some thought, they both came to terms with it. What kind of person was Senior Li, after all? Why would he need mere Immortal Artifacts? They were only suitable as gifts for his disciples to use¡ With this thought in mind, they couldn¡¯t help but feel full of envy for Zi Ling and Nan Feng. Although they too could receive some of Senior Li¡¯s favor, how could itpare to learning at his side? Being able to follow Senior Li was the true Supreme Immortal Path! ¡°Thank you, thank you, Teacher!¡± Nan Feng and Zi Ling both spoke excitedly! They took the pen and the zither respectively. With the Immortal Artifacts in hand, they both felt somewhat dazed, unable to believe it. How many people had the Three Absolutes Holy Land sent into the Cangli Mountain Range in the past? Countless, yet in the end, all had met with failure without even a bit of news reaching back. And now they had obtained them so effortlessly¡ Following Teacher, many things had indeed be so much easier¡ ¡± By the way, Senior, there are several seniors outside who also took part in this matter. They wish to meet you, would you be willing to see them?¡± At this time, Mu Qianning asked. Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly understood. It seemed that giving Fire Spirit and the others calligraphy and paintings had indeed attracted certain attention at the exhibit. Therefore, more people were willing toe¡ Was this also considered gaining some fame? He felt a touch of joy in his heart and said, ¡°Since they havee, let them in.¡± Fire Spirit promptly performed a salute and then withdrew. ¡°The three of you, Senior Li has agreed to meet you.¡± She addressed the three waiting outside. Immediately, joy appeared on their faces. The Senior was willing to meet them! They all approached excitedly. Stepping into the courtyard. ¡°Such a fearsome aura¡ It¡¯s as if every corner is filled with peerless terrors, making one feel like an ant¡¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable muttered, sensing the faintly surging Dao rhythms and principles. ¡°This¡ this ce¡ is hiding so many¡¡± Primordial Yang Venerable nced around, and when he saw the flock of Earth Chickens and the goldfish in the pond¡ he was dumbstruck and couldn¡¯t utter a single word. And the white-haired woman had already stopped dead in her tracks. She seemedpletely entranced. ¡°Immortal Path¡ Supreme Immortal Path¡¡± ¡°It is here¡¡± She stared nkly at Li Fan, and suddenly, she fell to her knees with a thump! Seeing this, Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable were both shocked. This was an Almost Immortal¡ and she had knelt down so suddenly? What kind of background did this person have? After exchanging nces, without any hesitation, they too knelt down! Li Fan was instantly flustered. Ni Ma, what is this rhythm? Kneeling upon meeting? These calligraphy and painting enthusiasts were truly more extravagant than thest! Fire Spirit and the others beside her involuntarily gaped. The identities of these three people were among the highest in the Xuantian Realm¡ An Almost Immortal, two Great Saints! They had actually knelt upon meeting. Their expressions wereplicated. Everyone present was extremely surprised, but Li Fan finally came back to his senses and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for such formalities, please get up!¡± In the ears of the three, Li Fan¡¯s words sounded like a Supreme Edict, as if there was an invisible force that made them get up unwillingly. ¡°¡Senior¡¯s aplishment in the mysteries of creation, a piece of calligraphy has made us kneel in worship. Now that we have seen the senior, even in death, we have no regrets!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke sincerely. ¡°In heaven and on earth, it is hard to find another like the Senior. To have the fortune to meet you, how blessed we are, how blessed we are!¡± Primordial Yang Venerable spoke as well. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°You overpraise me, sirs. I only have some slight mastery over minor aspects, and I dare not ept such high praise from you.¡± Upon hearing this, both were even more filled with admiration. This is a true peerless master indeed, living in seclusion amidst the dust of the world, detached and at ease, humble and amiable. Even the Dao, which immortals themselves cannot touch, in the eyes of such extraordinary beings, is but ¡°a little path.¡± ¡°Senior¡ may I¡ follow by your side and listen to your teachings?¡± At this moment, the white-haired woman spoke up. On her normally stern face appeared a look of nervous trepidation for the first time. Even after bing an Almost Immortal for countless years, and ascending to the highest and supreme position in the Xuantian Realm, the being she now faced was terrifyingly formidable. She could only look up in awe; thus, she couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious. Li Fan heard her and his brow furrowed slightly. Another one wanting to take him as a master. He really wasn¡¯t interested¡ ¡°Senior¡ this matter, I owe it to her for lending her assistance. In order to seek your guidance, she even gave up a great opportunity¡¡± Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t help but speak up for the white-haired woman. It was the white-haired woman who had first entered the Ascension tform and summoned the True Immortal. After the death of the True Immortal, she came to pay respect to Li Fan, not even bothering to collect the True Immortal¡¯s Blood. One could say her devotion to the Dao was extremely resolute. Mu Qianning simply couldn¡¯t bear to see her rejected. Upon hearing this, Li Fan sighed, thinking that this one, too, must be obsessed. He thus said, ¡°Ido not intend to take disciples for now, but seeing that your devotion to the Dao is steadfast, I shall elucidate a thing or two for you. What would you like to ask?¡± The white-haired woman, upon hearing this, felt despondent, yet extremely moved! She knew that although she couldn¡¯t follow this senior, she had been granted an exceedingly rare opportunity! To receive answers from such an esteemed figure¡ What a precious chance! What should she ask? She must think carefully! For a moment, countless thoughts shed through her mind. Seeing her hesitate for a long time, Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°No need to be nervous. To meet is to be fated; simply ask whatever you wish to know.¡± He could understand the mindset of this woman. Before he travelled through time, when he was studying and wanted to ask a teacher a question, he would ponder it repeatedly, afraid the teacher might think he was a fool. This woman, so engrossed in her pursuit, would surely care even more. The woman nodded, took a deep breath, and finally selected her most pressing question, ¡°May I ask the senior, what¡ is an Immortal?¡± Immortal! Upon this question, both the Primordial Yang Venerable and Spirit Transcendence Venerable also paid close attention! Li Fan was briefly taken aback. An Immortal? He wasn¡¯t some cultivator, how would he know what an Immortal is¡ However, she surely wasn¡¯t asking about cultivation; obviously, it pertained to the realm of calligraphy and painting. With this in mind, he smiled lightly and said, ¡°An Immortal is all living beings.¡± Everyone¡¯s expression shifted as they listened quietly. ¡°Ade of grass, a grain of sand, a cicada¡ all are Immortals.¡± ¡°To themon eye, everything appears mundane, but the true transcendent, the true Immortal, is hidden within the ordinary.¡± ¡°To enter the path, one must first recognize what is ordinary.¡± ¡°Toprehend what is white, one must first understand what is ck; to know what is right, one must grasp what is wrong.¡± ¡°So, to understand what an Immortal is, one must understand what is trulymonce.¡± He spoke with conviction. In fact, this was the reason why he had Zi Ling repeatedly draw an egg. One must use their true eyes to see, to uncover the principles hidden behind ordinary things. Only by doing this, whether in calligraphy or painting, can one truly grasp the essence. Hearing this, the woman found herself deep in thought. ¡°To understand what is white, one must know what is ck¡ to understand what an Immortal is, one must understand what is mortal¡¡± In a daze, it seemed as if she understood something. Is this why this senior chose to live among the ordinary? Ever since she became an Almost Immortal, she had secluded herself deep within the Mysterious Ice, thinking that only in this way could she cultivate a pure Immortal¡¯s heart. Could it be that she had been utterly mistaken, pursuing the exact opposite direction? The more she thought, the more she felt the centuries she had spent were wasted. ¡°I seem to understand now.¡± She murmured to herself, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°Thank you, senior, for your guidance!¡± Li Fan waved his hand, saying, ¡°It was but a small effort.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not all stand around. As it happens, a few peaches in my garden have just ripened; let me wee you all with them.¡± Li Fan smiled. The fruits on the peach tree had ripened, just nice for Fire Spirit and the others to have a taste of freshly picked peaches. Everyone turned to look at the peach tree, only to freeze in ce. He was going to use these peaches¡ to entertain them?! Chapter 48 - 47 Bestowal of the Pan Peach i Chapter 47 Bestowal of the Pan Peach i Trantor: 549690339 | Looking at the peach tree Li Fan spoke of, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment. ¡°This¡ is this the Pantao Tree¡¡± The Spirit Transcendence Venerable murmured to himself. With just one nce, he had already felt the extraordinary aura entwined around the peach tree, the flow of Immortal Spirit Qi, the birth of Daoist charm! ¡°Such a treasure exists only within the Immortal Domain¡ Do we, too, have the chance to taste it?¡¡± The Primordial Yang Venerable could hardly believe it! The white-haired woman was even more stunned. Who was this person, to actually have grown a Pantao Tree¡ She must be a major figure from the Immortal Domain! She instantly formed this notion. Meanwhile, individuals like Fire Spirit and Saintess Mu Qianning were filled with surprise and delight. They had received simr blessings from Senior Li before, and this wasn¡¯t the first time. So, they promptly sat down obediently, all in a row, waiting to divide the fruits! At this moment, Li Fan had already stepped forward and picked three to five bright red peaches from the lowered branches of the tree. He sliced the peaches into a te and presented it before everyone, saying with a smile, ¡°These are from a tree I nted with my own hands. This year is actually the first time it¡¯s borne fruit; I¡¯m not sure how they taste, but go ahead and try them.¡± The expressions of everyone became even moreplex. A Pantao Tree personally grown by such an entity¡ Any tiny piece of flesh from this te, no, even the peel, if it were to fall into the outer world, would cause an uproar and scramble among major forces¡ ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Zi Ling¡¯srge eyes were filled with smiles. She revealed her shiny little tiger teeth as she was the first to pick up a piece. Nan Feng also expressed his thanks before taking a piece. This period of time, they had grown ustomed to living such a luxurious life with Li Fan, transitioning from their former ¡°poor days¡±¡ After all, they were already numb to using the Divine Spring water sparingly and consuming Holy Medicine regrly. Seeing this, the other people also took their pieces one after another. Zi Ling¡¯s teeth, white as jade, bit into the fresh red flesh, overflowing with sweet juice, and her eyes instantly lit up with utmost pleasure! Streams of Immortal Spirit Qi flooded her body, cleansing every inch of her skin with Immortal Spirit Qi! The impurities within her body were evaporated by the Immortal Spirit Qi. Nan Feng, Fire Spirit, Saintess Mu Qianning, and the others had simr expressions, their faces glowing with extreme enjoyment! At this moment, the entire being of both the Spirit Transcendence Venerable and the Primordial Yang Venerable was trembling with excitement! Previously, that True Immortal, with his fake Immortal Spirit Qi, almost led them to step into the Immortal Path Realm, butter the false cultivation levels ultimately dispersed. Now, within each piece of the flesh, was a rich and fragrant Immortal Spirit Qi! Their cultivation levels were growing, and the ws in their Dao foundations were being repaired! Gradually bing perfect! The two Venerables¡ gradually perfected, and there even arose a trace of Immortal Qi within their bodies. They¡ had be Almost Immortals! The two opened their eyes, wild with excitement! From Supreme to Almost Immortal, that was a chasm, an impassable chasm! But now, they had seeded. They had be the most top-tier figures within the Xuantian Realm. ¡°Just one step forward¡ Senior Li has bestowed upon us such profound fortune!¡± The Spirit Transcendence Venerable was tearfully grateful. ¡°The Immortal Spirit Qi we can now absorb is very little¡ most of it is stored within our bodies, which in the future, can aid us in bing Immortals!¡± The Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s expression was one of agitated excitement! At this moment, the white-haired woman still had her eyes closed! Everyone looked towards her. ¡°The flow of Daoist charm, the evolution of Immortal Spirit Qi into Dao principles¡ Heavens, she¡¯s bing an Immortal!¡± The Spirit Transcendence Venerable was shocked. Everyone was dumbfounded. An Immortal, was one actually about to be born today? It is known that the Xuantian Realm had not seen an Immortal for thousands of years. An Immortal signifies an era of glory. ¡°To casually grant a piece of a Pantao, and to make an Immortal¡¡± Everyone felt deeply moved once again, recognizing Senior Li¡¯s truly grand gesture! A long, long timeter. The white-haired woman finally opened her eyes. The countless Immortal Spirit Qi from the Pantao Tree, all absorbed by her, had finally propelled her over that threshold. Now, she stood within the domain of the Immortal Path! Immortal! She took a deep breath and knelt down once more. ¡°Senior, such a great favor, Jiang Xue will never forget!¡± Jiang Xue was her name. Hearing this name, both Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s faces changed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect she was actually Jiang Xue¡¡± ¡°A thousand years ago, there was a Supreme force that had a Saintess with a rare physique named Jiang Xue. Later, her Sect Gate was destroyed, and her whereabouts became unknown¡¡± They now understood the origin of the white-haired woman. Seeing this, Li Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°It was just a few peaches, no need for such grand gratitude, please rise.¡± Jiang Xue then got up, but her eyes were already filled with immense admiration and respect for Li Fan. ¡°Meow meow, meow meow meow??? ¡± At this moment, Bai Xiaoqing ran over, rubbing her head against Li Fan¡¯s foot. She had just woken up in the room. Li Fan picked up Xiao Bai and rubbed his head; recently, this Little Greedy Cat had be sleepier and sleepier. Suchziness, indeed. ¡°Meow meow¡ to actually eat Pan Peaches, aowu, how could you not call me¡¡± Bai Xiaoqing looked longingly at the Pan Peaches, her big eyes evoking pity. ¡°You¡¯re a cat, do you even eat vegetarian?¡± Li Fan found it amusing and handed a piece to Xiao Bai. Bai Xiaoqing instantly opened her mouth and swallowed it! At once, she closed her eyes, relishing the utmost pleasure! As she enjoyed, and enjoyed, she actually fell asleep again¡ And at that moment, the blood in her body had almostpletely turned pure gold; thest trace of impurity disappeared with the entrance of the Immortal Spirit Qi into her body¡ ¡°A Pure Blood White Tiger as a pet¡¡± Spirit Transcendence and the others recognized Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s identity. ¡°It looks like she¡¯s from the line of the Northern Demon Emperor¡ But even for that line, it¡¯s impossible to have such a powerful bloodline¡¡± Primordial Yang Venerable muttered to himself. Li Fan, holding Xiao Bai, also tasted a few Pan Peaches himself; they were indeed delicious, juicy and tender. All the effort of nting the trees had not been wasted. He was quite contented. At this moment, Primordial Yang Venerable hesitated a bit, then cupped his hands and said, ¡°Senior, this matter has now concluded. May I know if you have any other instructions for us?¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable also hurriedly said, ¡°As long as you give the order, we will not refuse even if it means going through fire and water, and we willy down our lives without hesitation!¡± They were quick to assert their loyalty! Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°You are all too kind. There will be many simr issues in the future; this is only the beginning. Please just take good care of Qian Ning and the others for me.¡± He had little interest in the turmoil of the outside world. In fact, from beginning to end, he had only casually lent a hand to Mu Qianning and the others. After all, Mu Qianning and herpanions had previously been in such dire straits, they were nearly reduced to beggars, and Fire Spirit¡¯s tragic background had moved Li Fan¡¯s heart. Upon hearing this, the expressions of Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable changed dramatically! Many simr situations still toe¡ Did Senior Li mean that the plotting against the Supremes and Almost Immortals of the Southern Territory could happen again? They shuddered at the thought. After all, the power of a True Immortal was still fresh in their memories! Not to mention Almost Immortals, even Immortals from the Immortal Domain couldn¡¯t handle them. If that True Immortal had other aplices, it would be truly terrifying¡ ¡°Senior Li¡¯s meaning is for us tomunicate promptly with Saintess Mu Qianning and the others if we encounter such situations in the future!¡± Primordial Yang Venerable conveyed through a secret message. Spirit Transcendence Venerable nodded and said, ¡°It seems the True Immortal¡¯s schemes have just begun. Only Senior Li can keep them in check¡¡± At that moment. Ten Li away from the small mountain vige. ¡°The army from the Central State Three Absolute Sanctuaries has arrived; friends ahead, please clear the way immediately. We are here to punish the despicable viins who tried to assassinate our Sanctuary¡¯s Supreme!¡± The army from the Three Absolutes Holy Land wasing en masse, looming ominously. In front of them, they saw Luo Ming, Hong Xuan, and the waiting Southern Domain Allied Forces. The leading Supreme spoke up, making their intention clear! On the side of the Southern Domain Allied Forces, Luo Ming immediately furrowed his brow! He took out a Jade Token and crushed it! At the same time, back in Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. Primordial Yang Venerable, having sensed something, immediately stood up with a somewhat somber look in his eyes and said, ¡°That group of blind fools from Three Absolutes Holy Land hase!¡± Chapter 49 - 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihilated i Chapter 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihted i Trantor: 549690339 | Sensing the message from dozens of li away where Luo Ming was, Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of icy coldness, and he said, ¡°That group of blind people from the Three Absolutes Holy Land havee!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone present subtly changed their expressions. ¡°Three Absolutes Holy Land¡¡± Zi Ling¡¯s and Nan Feng¡¯s faces were filled with tension. Previously, when Shi Tai and the other Supreme came to seek retribution, they had left in disarray. Now the Three Absolutes Holy Land hade again? How many hade? They had been by Li Fan¡¯s side all the time and were unaware of what was happening in the outside world. ¡°Two youngdies,st time Shi Tai and Tie Ming, one died and one went mad, which incited great fury from the Three Absolutes Holy Land. They haveunched a Holy War against Senior Li!¡± Just then, Primordial Yang Venerable actively sent a telepathic message to the two of them. Hearing this, Zi Ling and Nan Feng were both shocked beyond measure. The two Supremes fromst time, one had actually died and one went mad? They looked at Li Fan incredulously, for during thest encounter, Li Fan had not gone out at all. He had merely written a que in the courtyard and yed a tune. At that time, Tie Ming had ascended, so they had no knowledge of what followed. So, he had actually died¡ The methods of Senior Li were indeed unimaginable. At the same time, they were shocked to the extreme. Holy War! As individuals born from Holy Lands, they understood all too well what this meant! It was a signal of a fight to the death. It meant that the entire Three Absolutes Holy Land would stake everything, bringing the full power of their sect for one final battle! ¡°How could this be¡¡± Zi Ling seemed bewildered. ¡°AHoly War¡ The Three Absolutes Holy Land¡ it¡¯s finished.¡± Nan Feng, on the other hand, was much more awake and muttered to herself. Holy Lands were the high existence in the entire Xuantian Realm, virtually invincible. Once a Holy War wasunched, only Holy Lands could possibly withstand it. The wrath of a Holy Land was something that no one dared to provoke. But that was towards other people, other forces in the Xuantian Realm- Now, their target forunching a Holy War was none other than Senior Li¡ Had they gone mad? Senior Li was someone who could kill a Demon Venerable with a single painting, and even the Saint Masters of the two great Holy Lands in the Southern Territory had toe and pay their respects to him. Just now, Senior Li had casually bestowed a bit of fortune, bringing forth an Immortal and two Almost Immortals. Let alone the Three Absolutes Holy Land, even if the Three Absolute Immortal himself came¡ She dared not imagine. While everyone was surprised, Li Fan was also somewhat taken aback. That Literary Hobby Association, they¡¯vee again, huh? So persistent? However, he could understand that beauties like Zi Ling and Nan Feng, in any simr group, would be highly sought after andpeted for. Who knows how many people were eyeing them? How could they let Li Fan take them away so easily? ¡°This so-called Three Absolutes Holy Land is really quite annoying.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but speak out. Once or twice is enough, when will it ever end? Hearing this, Spirit Transcendence Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable both felt their eyebrows twitch instantly. Senior Li actually said such words! Annoying! Annoying wasn¡¯t important, the key was that someone of Senior Li¡¯s stature was annoyed! They instantly understood that the Three Absolutes Holy Land was in real trouble this time. Jiang Xue then said, ¡°Senior, should I go and drive these flies away for you?¡± Li Fan thought about it; Jiang Xue and others like Ling Chao had some family assets and possibly wider connections in the outside world, so they might handle the situation more easily. Mainly, he was toozy to deal with these people. Li Fan then said, ¡°Alright, then I will trouble you. I truly do not wish to see these people again.¡± Jiang Xue¡¯s expression was calm as she gave Li Fan a deep bow, then turned and left. Ling Chao Venerable and Primordial Yang Venerable exchanged nces, their expressions growing more somber. What Senior Li meant was, he didn¡¯t want to see them ever again! What did that imply? It meant that he had sentenced the Three Absolutes Holy Land to death! Even as a Holy Land, they would not be spared! ¡°Senior, we should also have a look, and we will make sure that those petty individuals no longer bother you during your secluded cultivation!¡± The two of them immediately spoke out! Having just received a great favor from Senior Li, now was the time for them to repay kindness with kindness! Although, for someone like Senior Li, dealing with the Three Absolutes Holy Land might be as simple as a wave of his hand, what mattered was showing their allegiance! Li Fan said, ¡°Good.¡± The two Almost Immortals then turned and left as well. They stepped out of the courtyard. ¡°The Three Absolutes Holy Land is really courting death this time, let¡¯s go!¡± Spirit Transcendence Venerable spoke out as the two transformed into a rainbow of light. Dozens of li away. It was already a confrontation between two armies! The grand g of the Three Absolutes Holy Land rustled in the air. ¡°Fellow Daoists from the Taiyan and Ziyang Holy Lands, why stand in the way of our sect¡¯s path!¡± One of the Supremes from the Three Absolutes Holy Land spoke. But opposite him, Luo Ming and Hong Xuan stood with allied forces, blocking the way with an icy demeanor. ¡°This road is closed!¡± Luo Ming responded coldly. Changsun Liancheng stepped forward, speaking indifferently, ¡°I have been old acquaintances with Brothers Lingchao and Yuanyang. This time, I have personally led troops for vengeance. I believe they will grant me this face and ask you all to step aside!¡± His words carried a hint of subtle superiority! As the Saint Master of the Central Prefecture Grand Sanctum, his cultivation level was approaching that of an Almost Immortal, and he didn¡¯t take ordinary Supremes seriously. ¡°We cannot afford to give you that face!¡± Just then, in the sky, a scornful shout rang out! The next moment, two streaks of rainbow light appeared, and Spirit Transcendence and Yuan Yang stood before the grand formation. Chapter 50 - 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihilated 2 Chapter 50 Chapter 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihted 2 Trantor: 549690339 |????????? ¡ª Luo Ming and Hong Xuan, upon seeing the arrival of the two Saint Lords, both let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Brother Taoists, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Changsun Liancheng spoke indifferently, ¡°Two venerable figures of our Holy Land have been harmed in the Southern Territory. Thus, we haveunched a Sacred War to seek revenge against the despicable person responsible. You two Brother Taoists wouldn¡¯t stand in our way, would you?¡± Ling Chao¡¯s face, however, turned icy as he said, ¡°Who are you calling your Brother Taoist?!¡± Yuanyang Daoren was even more direct, his voice deep, ¡°Considering our past acquaintance, I advise you, all Supremes of your Holy Land should abandon their Cultivation Level, kneel and beg for mercy. Perhaps then, the Three Absolutes Holy Land might survive to keep a sliver of its roots!¡± Upon hearing these words, Changsun Liancheng¡¯s eyes narrowed, his heart sank, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, ¡°So, does this mean that the lowlifes who harmed the two Supremes of my Holy Land are closely rted to you, Brother Taoists?¡± ¡°Or maybe, you Brother Taoists are nning to seize the Immortal Artifacts left by the ancestors of my Three Absolutes Holy Land!?¡± He questioned loudly! He was very clear in his heart that no one was worth the two great Holy Lands enduring the wrath of his Three Absolutes Holy Land¡¯s Sacred War. It was known that even if they could withstand it, their Holy Lands would be greatly weakened by the conflict, perhaps even stumbling beyond recovery. Thus, the only reason these two were obstructing him had to be one thing. They coveted the Immortal Artifacts of the Three Absolutes Holy Land! Perhaps, the Immortal Artifacts of his own Holy Land had already fallen into their hands! At this thought, a trace of killing intent began to rise in his heart! Upon hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao shook his head, ¡°Truly obstinate. You have disrespected that senior three times now. You can¡¯t me us for annihting your Holy Land now!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke coldly, ¡°Changsun Liancheng, whether it is your scheme to seize Immortal Artifacts or your intentions at the Ascension tform, the unforgivable mistake was using that senior as an excuse!¡± You havemitted a sin that cannot be forgiven in this world!¡± The faces of the two were ice-cold! Hearing this, Changsun Liancheng¡¯s heart skipped a beat! These two great Saint Lords were referring to¡ a senior?! What kind of person could make them call him a senior? Could it be that there were still some terrifying Undying old ones in the Southern Territory? But this thought onlysted a moment in his heart! Nothing could hinder their purpose this time! ¡°Heh, you speak as if you¡¯re going to annihte our Three Absolutes Holy Land? With what exactly do you n to do so?¡± His aura surged! A domineering pressure spread out, covering the sky! Almost Immortal! Feeling this formidable aura, Ling Chao and Yuan Yang couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°No wonder you are so reckless, turns out you are nearing Almost Immortal, desperately needing that zither and that brush!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± Changsun Liancheng¡¯s long hair danced wildly as he looked down upon everything, ¡°I am now at the threshold of Almost Immortal, in the Xuantian Realm, who is my enemy!¡± Supreme and invincible presence! ¡°Arrogant, self-important.¡± Ling Chao shook his head, and the next moment, he released his aura! Frightening, like a violent storm, it directly forced Changsun Liancheng¡¯s aura to roll back! ¡°No!¡± Changsun Liancheng was taken aback, staring and speechless, ¡°Almost Immortal?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, with the grace of that senior, I am now Almost Immortal,¡± Ling Chao said coldly. Yuan Yang sneered, ¡°Sorry, I, too, have just broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Realm!¡± Having said that, he released his aura. Just as terrifying as Ling Chao¡¯s, it rolled out and covered the sky in an instant! Changsun Liancheng was forced back a hundred steps by these two terrifying auras, and the army behind him immediately retreated in panic, their formation thrown into disarray! Almost Immortal! Two of them! In the Xuantian Realm, where Immortals do not reveal themselves, Almost Immortal is the supreme Master! Changsun Liancheng¡¯s closeness to Almost Immortal was power enough to be proud of in the world, but who could have imagined that in the modest Southern Territory, two genuine Almost Immortals would appear! This was terrifying! ¡°How is this possible¡ How can you be Almost Immortal? How can you be Almost Immortal?!¡± Changsun Liancheng felt utterly unwilling to ept this, he couldn¡¯t believe it nor wanted to believe it! He was undoubtedly the strongest among all the Saint Lords! The Central Province was the most powerful ce for Cultivators in the world. The Southern Territory? Although it also had Holy Lands, they were generally less profound than those in the Central Province. Who could have imagined that two Supremes, who should¡¯ve been far inferior to him in strength, had be Almost Immortals! The disparity was too great. Moreover, he remembered that these two said their Almost Immortal strength came from the grace of that senior¡ At that moment, his heart suddenly trembled! He dared not doubt the existence of that one anymore! Two Almost Immortals had no need to lie. And what kind of power must one possess to raise two Almost Immortals? An existing Immortal? This was terrifying! He had kicked an iron te, a real iron te! But how could there be Immortals in this world? Incredulous! ¡°You should know that Nan Feng and Zi Ling, the two youngdies, had already received favor from that senior, being taken as disciples,¡± Yuanyang Venerable said coldly. ¡°What extraordinary fate, even we envy them! Their future achievements will certainly surpass those of Immortals. If you had some sense, in the future, if they were to spare you even a glimpse of favor, it would be enough for your Three Absolutes Holy Land to benefit for a lifetime.¡± ¡°Instead, you act utterly contrarily!¡± ¡®Not only did you make disciples with boundless prospects into rebels, but you also disrespected that senior!¡± ¡®A fine hand of cards, yed so wretchedly, it can only be said that your Three Absolutes Holy Land deserves to be annihted!¡± He shook his head, somewhat regretful. Upon hearing these words, everyone from the Three Absolutes Holy Land was struck with shock! ¡°No¡ no¡¡± Changsun Liancheng kept saying, his heart filled with extreme difort! After nning his whole life, was everything to fail in the end? Chapter 51 - 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihilated_3 Chapter 51 Chapter 48 Three Absolutes Holy Land, Annihted_3 Trantor: 549690339 | Even after so much scheming, in the end, he harmed himself? Harmed the Three Absolutes Holy Land? He refused to believe it! ¡°I refuse to believe it, today, I shall y gods if they block my path, and Buddhas if they stand in my way!¡± He roared furiously, producing a pen from his bosom! It was an ancient-looking brush, infused with the aura of the Immortal Path! ¡°An Immortal Artifact?!¡± Ling Chao and another were astonished. ¡°Just a hair¡¯s breadth away from being an Immortal Artifact!¡± ¡°Even if you two are Almost Immortals, today, you shall not stop me!¡± Changsun Liancheng roared, wielding the brush in hand, his aura overwhelmingly potent, and indeed, he seemed even stronger than Ling Chao and hispanion! ¡°Kill!¡± He screamed! The army of the Three Absolutes Holy Land instantly readied itself for the charge! The great battle erupted! But, at that moment, a slender jade hand suddenly appeared from the sky, bearing the Qi of Immortal Spirit, and with one finger pointed down, the heavens split! Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Three Absolutes Holy Land fell to their knees in an instant, overwhelmed by an iparable, terrifying pressure! One finger subdued thousands of men! Changsun Liancheng himself was shocked. His power had already surpassed an Almost Immortal, and yet, he felt great horror; as the finger descended, he felt unstoppable! ¡°No!¡± He put forth all his strength, unleashed every Divine Skill he possessed, in one burst of glorious radiance, almost to the level of the Immortal Path! He soared skyward, lunging at the slender jade hand! But, that jade hand simply flicked its finger lightly! In an instant, all brilliant light dissipated, all terrifying presence extinguished in a moment! Changsun Liancheng, like a withered leaf, fell from the sky! ¡°Bang!¡± He crashed into the earth below, the ¡°Three Lives Soil¡± erupting, rocks and detritus flying! For a moment, everyone was dumbstruck. Both armies at the front lines were stunned. Was this the power of an Immortal? A chasm as wide as the heavens! Even Changsun Liancheng, who was so close to being an Immortal, was just an ant in the face of an Immortal¡¯s finger! Aughable ant! High above, the Immortal Jiang Xue appeared, her presence lofty and remote, her gaze coldly sweeping across the field, untainted by even a speck of dust, as cold as frost,manding only awe. ¡°For such a person, silence him would suffice, there is no need for so much mor.¡± She said this, speaking to Ling Chao and Yuan Yang! Upon hearing her words, Ling Chao and Yuan Yang could only force a wry smile. They had already been tough, but in the eyes of the Immortal, they were still too weak. ¡°The senior has spoken, this sect need not exist in the world any longer, this person¡¯s cultivation level is already ruined, the rest, I leave to you two,¡± Jiang Xue said indifferently. Ling Chao and Yuan Yang promptly offered a deep bow, saying, ¡°We understand!¡± With the appearance of an Immortal, everyone present was already extremely shaken, but her words now stunned them once again. The moment she appeared, many instinctively felt that she might be the ¡°senior¡± behind Ling Chao and Yuan Yang! But now, she was actually acting on that ¡°senior¡¯s¡± orders?! A mighty Immortal, was not even the ultimate power behind the scenes, but simply a servant to another¡¯s will?! Heaven, just what existence was that senior? Everyone from the Three Absolutes Holy Land was petrified. What kind of cmity had struck? What sort of terrifying being had they provoked? At that moment, Ling Chao and Yuan Yang looked indifferently across at the people from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, who were prostrate on the ground due to the Immortal¡¯s might, and coldly dered, ¡°Grace is granted to the Three Absolutes Holy Land, annihtion!¡± They gestured grandly! The army charged! This was a massacre! ¡°Fight to the death!¡± ¡°For the continuity of the Holy Land, kill!¡± ¡°The Holy Land must not be dishonored!¡± The six Supremes of the Three Absolutes Holy Land, at that moment, all charged forward with the resolve to die. But they were too weak; at a mere wave of a hand from Ling Chao and Yuan Yang, they spat blood, their cultivation levels utterly destroyed! An Almost Immortal against a Supreme was mere crushing, just as an Immortal against an Almost Immortal! ¡°Is my Three Absolutes Holy Land truly going to perish today?!¡± ¡°No, the Holy Land cannot fall!¡± ¡°At this moment of life and death, where are our ancestors?!¡± Countless people of the Three Absolutes Holy Land shouted; they howled in despair! A once great sect, ventured to the Southern Territory, and its end was annihtion? How could they ept this? They could not ept this! But, the ughter continued. Lacking in a top-tier power, the army of the Three Absolutes Holy Land was like a flock of sheep led to the ughter. Below, on the ground. Changsun Liancheng struggled to climb out of the pit, his mouth full of blood. In a moment, his hair had turned utterly white, his body aged and gaunt, resembling an old man on the verge of death. With his cultivation level ruined, his life reached its end! He looked up painfully, gazing towards the sky. His eyes were filled with sorrow! ¡°My Three Absolutes Holy Land¡ cannot perish¡ cannot perish by my hand, I, cannot be the sinner of the Three Absolutes Holy Land!¡± Tears of the elderly fell, as he gripped the pen in his hand that was already fractured! ¡°Ninth Generation Holy Master of the Three Absolutes Sanctuary, Changsun Liancheng, sincerely beseeches the ancestors to descend and protect our Holy Land!¡± He spat out hisst mouthful of essence blood! Summoning with essence blood! In an instant, the pen exploded into powder, and a beam of light shot out from its remnants, heading straight towards the sky! A fearsome aura spread with the beam of light! Within the dazzling Immortal light, a figure slowly emerged. He carried an ancient zither on his back, a brush in hand, d in green garments¡ªan exceedingly handsome man! ¡°After ascending thousands of years ago, is the legacy I left in the Lower World truly about to be destroyed?¡± Muttering to himself, he then fixed his gaze across the battlefield! His arrival in the sky brought a sudden hush over the battlefield! Chapter 52 - 49 Immortal Kneeling on the Ground i 52 Chapter 49 Immortal Kneeling on the Ground i Trantor: 549690339 I The brush artifact, almost equal to an Immortal Artifact, shattered directly, and a man formed from the burst of Immortal light. The moment the man appeared in the sky, everyone was startled. Because, from this man, everyone sensed an aura simr to that of Jiang Xue! Immortal! Everyone gasped in amazement! ¡°Is¡ Is this the Three Absolute Immortal?!¡± ¡°I never imagined that the Three Absolute Immortal had left a clone within that brush, no wonder its grade could nearly match an Immortal Artifact!¡± ¡°With the appearance of the Three Absolute Immortal, this is assuredly the greatest trump card of the Three Absolutes Holy Land. With him here, it¡¯s probably impossible for the Holy Land to be destroyed.¡± Everyone began to speak one after another. And at this moment, the people of the Three Absolutes Holy Land all felt a sense of relief! Just before, in the ranks of the opposing camp, with one Immortal and two Almost Immortals, they felt an immense suppression, to the point where they couldn¡¯t even exert their basic strength and were only being ughtered. Now, they all returned to normal, and the cirction of Spiritual Power became even more unobstructed! ¡°Ancestor Spirit!¡± ¡°Our Ancestor Spirit has finally appeared. With the Ancestor Spirit present, who can destroy the Three Absolutes Holy Land?!¡± ¡°As long as the Ancestor Spirit is eternal, the Three Absolutes Holy Land shall also be eternal!¡± The people of the Three Absolutes Holy Land were all teary-eyed and extremely excited at this moment! In their despair, the appearance of the Three Absolute Immortal¡¯s clone gave them all hope. ¡°Haha, with our ancestral master here, who can destroy our Sect Gate? Who dares to destroy our Sect Gate?!¡± On the ground below, Changsun Liancheng also burst into madughter, his life having reached its end, hanging on by hisst breath. ¡°Three Absolute Immortal!¡± The expressions on the faces of Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were filled with extreme solemnity at this moment! Since ancient times, the Three Absolutes had been an absolutely brilliant and talented personality, whose talents in his life even many other powerful beings who had ascended to Immortality could notpare with. And now, the Three Absolutes had appeared. At the scene, only Jiang Xue managed to maintain her calm. She looked at the Three Absolutes and shook her head, saying, ¡°Today¡¯s matter would be futile even if the real body came, let alone a mere clone?¡± Upon hearing this, the Three Absolute Immortal smiled slightly. His aura was ethereal and otherworldly, indeed extraordinary. He looked at Jiang Xue with a hint of admiration in his eyes and said, ¡°I never thought that after I entered the Immortal Domain thousands of years ago, another person would ascend to Immortality, making it less lonely.¡± ¡°But why, why the ruthlessness?¡± There was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. Jiang Xue pointed towards Changsun Liancheng below and said, ¡°He has brought a great disaster upon the Three Absolutes Holy Land!¡± Upon hearing this, the Three Absolute Immortal immediately nced at Changsun Liancheng. Just one nce! Changsun Liancheng suddenly felt as if he had beenpletely seen through, that before the Ancestor Spirit¡¯s gaze, he had no secrets at all. He was bewildered for a moment, his mind going numb. The next moment, the Three Absolute Immortal retracted his gaze. ¡°I see.¡± The Three Absolute Immortal sighed slightly and said, ¡°I had intended to leave two Immortal Artifacts in the mortal world for those fated to find them. I didn¡¯t expect them to cause such a stir.¡± He looked at Jiang Xue and said, ¡°I¡¯m very curious about the person behind you, what kind of background does he have?¡± Jiang Xue said indifferently, ¡°A background that neither you nor 1 have the right to inquire about.¡± The Three Absolute Immortal gave a wry smile. ¡°My true self has made a name in the Immortal Domain, having carved out a niche for itself. Even the mighty beings who descend from the Immortal Domain may not have the right to speak these words.¡± After speaking, he stepped out. With one step, his eyes suddenly emitted two beams of Immortal light! He gazed into the distance at the small mountain vige tens of Li away! These were the Immortal Spirit Eyes, capable of piercing through all illusions! His gaze, like two Divine Swords, cut through the void. ¡°You dare!¡± Both Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord bellowed in anger. They were outraged that he would dare to spy so brazenly upon Senior Li¡¯s location, showing great disrespect to an elder. ¡°Fairy Jiang Xue, please stop him!¡± Being fully aware that they, as two Almost Immortals, were no match for the clone of the Three Absolute Immortal, Yuanyang Holy Lord could only hope for Jiang Xue, someone of equal rank, to act. However, Jiang Xue shook her head and said, ¡°No need. If Senior Li had wished, this person would have died the moment he appeared.¡± ¡°Senior Li let him live, I trust Senior Li has his reasons.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Senior Li¡¯s two disciples, in a sense, share a slight familial connection with the Three Absolute Immortal.¡± Upon hearing this, both Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord came to a sudden realization. Indeed¡ They couldn¡¯t help but admire, was this the insight of an Immortal? It truly was beyond their reach! Chapter 53 - 50: Great Chaos in the Xuantian Reahn i 53 Chapter 50: Great Chaos in the Xuantian Reahn i Trantor: 549690339 | The Three Absolute Immortal knelt to the ground and paid homage in the direction of the small mountain vige, startling everyone! ¡°The Three Absolute Immortal¡ has he gone mad?¡± ¡°An Immortal of his generation, merely ncing at that vige, could actually be scared into kneeling directly on the ground?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± People from both the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land were shocked and iprehensible! ¡°What on earth did he see¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were also greatly shocked. ¡°To kneel before Senior Li is his honor.¡± Jiang Xue, however, spoke indifferently, saying, ¡°If his true body were here, and he managed to see this, his Dao would improve by one level immediately!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions wereplex. Was that senior really terrifying to such an extent? The group from the Three Absolutes Holy Land was dumbfounded! The Ancestor of the Three Absolutes was theirst foundation and resort. For them, the Three Absolute Immortal was their faith and their divine spirit. The entire Three Absolutes Holy Land was following in the footsteps of the Three Absolute Immortal, hoping to one day recreate the glory of the Three Absolute Immortal. But now, their faith, their divine spirit, was kneeling before their enemy. At this moment, countless Supremes had their Dao hearts shattered. Countless disciples of the Three Absolutes Holy Land broke down mentally! Completely broke down! Below. Upon witnessing this scene, Changsun Lianchengpletely copsed to the ground, his eyes vacant. What kind of existence had he provoked for the Three Absolutes Holy Land¡ It was over. This time, it truly was over. Neither heaven nor earth could redeem them! The Three Absolute Immortal, mindless of the thousands present, paid his respects to an unknown existence with a kneeling salute. Not until the salute wasplete did he slowly rise, his face filled with emotion, and looking at Jiang Xue, he said, ¡°For the offense caused by the Three Absolutes Holy Land, does the senior have any instructions?¡± Jiang Xue said lightly, ¡°He said he never wants to see the Three Absolutes Holy Land again.¡± The Three Absolute Immortal nodded, his expression very calm, surprisingly without the slightest ripple. He turned around, facing the thousands of troops from the Three Absolutes Holy Land! ¡°You have received my legacy, and hence have today¡¯s cultivation level.¡± ¡°However, it is for the same reason that you have caused a cmity that reaches the heavens!¡± ¡°I cannot spare you, for no one in heaven and earth can spare you!¡± ¡°If 1 act, you¡¯ll still have a chance for reincarnation, and this is thest grace 1 can offer you¡ª¡± The Three Absolute Immortal said calmly, as if narrating a trivial matter, and after speaking, he suddenly waved his hand! In an instant, an Immortal Path hurricane swept up! Like des, it enveloped the entire holy war army of the Three Absolutes Holy Land! ¡°No! No!¡± ¡°Ancestor, spare our lives, Ancestor, please spare us!¡± ¡°We are innocent, we are innocent!¡± The people from the Three Absolutes Holy Land were wailing at this moment! Supremes knelt on the ground, Mahayana crawled, weeping bitterly. Who could have imagined that they would ultimately die at the hands of their own ancestor¡ This was unbearable! Yet, no one could resist, no one could stop it. Supremes disintegrated. Mahayana Realm exploded into a mist of blood. The Hollow Void Realm was dying off in patches¡ Even the people from Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, upon seeing this scene, were somewhat dismayed. Is this the method of an Immortal¡ With a wave of the hand, armies die en masse. They weren¡¯t even considered ants. With the wave of a hand, everything dissipated. The previously aggressive army from the Three Absolutes Holy Land, which had marched from the Central Province to the Southern Territory, attracting attention from all over, was as if it had never existed. On the earth below, Changsun Liancheng knelt, looking at the scenes in the sky, his whole being looking withered! His heart had diedpletely! ¡°I was wrong¡ 1 was wrong¡¡± He mourned silently! The mistake was far too grave, and the cost¡ was far too high¡ The next moment, the gaze of the Three Absolute Immortal fell upon him. ¡°All of this, caused by your greed, that one zither, one brush, originally left for those with destiny. Yet you, ignorant, led the entire sect down this path.¡± ¡°You shall not reincarnate for a myriad of lifetimes.¡± The Three Absolute Immortal waved his hand. Changsun Liancheng evaporatedpletely. His soul had been refined into nothingness! From now on, in the world between heaven and earth, no trace of Changsun Liancheng could be found, not even a drop of blood, a piece of flesh. The Three Absolutes Holy Land has beenpletely destroyed! And the figure of the Three Absolute Immortal at this moment was also fading! He was just a clone, his time left was limited. He turned to look at Jiang Xue and said, ¡°Please tell Zi Ling and Nan Feng that from today onwards, as long as the two of them wish, they will be the masters of the Three Absolutes Holy Land.¡± ¡°All the treasures buried under the Three Absolutes Holy Land belong to them.¡± Jiang Xue nodded, replying, ¡°I will.¡± At these words, the Three Absolute Immortal smiled contentedly, fortunate that Zi Ling and Nan Feng were still there, right? He looked back, ncing at the beautifulndscape and said, ¡°What a pity, I was born in the wrong era and had no chance to learn from such an unparalleled power¡¡± ¡°Life¡¯s great sorrow¡¡± His figure then dissipated. The Three Absolute Immortal was no longer in this world. Seeing this, everyone hadplex expressions. They had witnessed the destruction of a Holy Land¡ And yet, it was destroyed by their own founding ancestor, who could have imagined this¡ And all of this, because of a single phrase from that senior. The allied forces were silent. Even those who had never heard the news before now fully understood. In the Southern Territory, in that small mountain vige dozens of Li ahead, there must be an iparably terrifying existence in hiding. One who can make Immortals bow their heads, one who can obliterate Holy Lands! ¡°That is a forbiddennd.¡± Some Supreme murmured in a low voice. ¡°I feel like the entire Xuantian Realm is about to change¡¡± ¡°What kind of existence is this, one who has never appeared before the world, yet, the whole world has changed because of him!¡± No one was unaffected! Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both sighed incessantly. A powerful force that once stood tall in Central Province had just been utterly annihted. Annihted so thoroughly! ¡°Fairy Jiang Xue, it¡¯s time for us to leave.¡± Then they spoke to Jiang Xue. The situation was now settled, and too many things had happened consecutively. Both holynds urgently needed to recuperate. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Jiang Xue nodded and said, ¡°Remember the words of that senior, the events that unfolded at the Ascension tform today are just the beginning.¡± ¡°The fortune granted by the senior isn¡¯t for us to idly enjoy our meals. A pawn must serve its purpose, or else it bes a discarded piece.¡± After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and her figure disappeared from where she stood. Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both gave wry smiles. It¡¯s just too tant- Pawn¡ ¡°What Fairy Jiang Xue said is indeed true¡¡± But after pondering, they both felt there was nothing uneptable about it. ¡°Indeed,pared to sects like the Three Absolutes Holy Land, to be a pawn of Senior Li is also a blessing rued by our ancestors¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Such a major incident will draw the entire Xuantian Realm¡¯s attention. Senior Li enjoys living the life of amoner and dislikes disturbances. We need to think about how to exin this to the outside world.¡± Suddenly, thebined forces of the two great holynds set into motion. They departed. Chapter 54 - 54Chapter 51 The Final Pure Land i 54Chapter 51 The Final Pure Land i Trantor: 549690339 | Within a single day, the entire Xuantian Realm seemed to have suffered a horrific disaster. The vast and boundlessnd cracked, and blood rained from the sky. In some Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, the Spiritual Energy fluctuated violently, even approaching zero within a day. The Northern Region, Central Province, Eastern Wilderness, Western Desert, and even the Southern Territory¡ The changes in heaven and earth had an extremely wide impact, not a single ce escaped! People all over were shocked. ¡°Heaven, what has happened, what exactly is going on here? It¡¯s like the records of a disaster era¡¡± ¡°Blood is falling from the sky, the earth is cracking, the Spiritual Energy is thinning; is this the end of days?¡± ¡°The entire Xuantian Realm seems to have been severely affected¡¡± For a moment, all Sect Gates and Cultivators in the Xuantian Realm sensed it. This terrible change terrified every Cultivator. Each Sect Gate deployed people to investigate the truth behind it. Many more Sect Gates headed toward the Holy Lands of each territory¡ªas these ancient Holy Lands had the deepest understanding of this heaven and earth, perhaps there, they could find exnations and answers. But when people arrived at the various Holy Lands with the hope of resolving their questions, they werepletely stunned! What presented itself before them was a scene they could never have imagined in their lifetimes! The once exalted and omnipotent Holy Lands and noble families had all been destroyed¡ ¡°No, no, how is this possible!¡± In the Northern Region, a Mahayana Realm powerhouse and elder of his Sect Gate had speciallye to pay his respects to the Holy Land, but the scene before him made him tremble and filled him with fear! The Beichen Holy Land of the past was simply gone! Only ruins remained, broken walls and shattered remains, thend had copsed, not a single living person¡ The Western Desert. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we will soon reach Tianfan Hall. The Holy Master of Tianfan Hall will tell us the reason behind all that has happened.¡± An old Cultivator led a young Brahmin Monk in the direction of Tianfan Hall. ¡°Hmm? Something¡¯s not right, have we lost our way? Why haven¡¯t we seen Tianfan Hall yet?¡± The old Cultivator showed a puzzled expression; he had been to Tianfan Hall countless times, he could find it with his eyes closed. ording to the road, Tianfan Hall should already be in sight¡ but howe there¡¯s no sign of Tianfan Hall, and instead there¡¯s a sand dune ahead? ¡°No¡ no¡!¡± The young Brahmin Monk¡¯s face paled, and suddenly he pointed ahead, saying, ¡°Master, there, that is a Brahmin Beast from the roof of Tianfan Hall!¡± The Brahman Path Cultivator approached, and on top of the sand dune, a strangely shaped and rather mystical Brahmin Beast had half of its body exposed. A look of horror appeared in the elder¡¯s eyes, and he said: ¡°The Tianfan Ancient Beast, there is only one such statue in the entire Western Desert, ced on the main hall of Tianfan Hall, to receive worship from the people¡ Could it be¡¡± He dared not continue. The young Brahmin Monk was trembling, murmuring, ¡°Tianfan Hall¡ is beneath our feet¡ in this deste mound!¡± ¡°Junior Sister, hurry up, Xuanyuan River is right ahead, the most spectacr river in the entire Eastern Wilderness, and, it¡¯s said that river has evolved a Spirit Dragon with the power of an Immortal!¡± In the Eastern Wilderness, in the sky, two Sword Cultivators sped towards the direction of the Xuanyuan Family. This grand event that had urred required them toe at the fastest speed as dictated by their Sect Gate, to hear the exnation from the Xuanyuan Family. Soon, they saw the yellow river ahead! ¡°We¡¯ve arrived!¡± The young man spoke excitedly, ¡°Junior Sister, look how magnificent this river is, right?¡± The woman looked in the direction he indicated, but surprise flitted through her beautiful eyes as she said: ¡°Senior Brother¡ is this the legendary Xuanyuan River¡¡± ¡°Yet, this river seems to be¡ dead, it¡¯s not flowing anymore¡ there¡¯s no sound of the water rushing, is there?¡± The young man was suddenly taken aback! Simr events were happening rapidly everywhere in the Xuantian Realm! The Cultivators heading to the various Holy Lands saw what had happened to them, and beyond their shock, they quickly spread the news¡ ¡°Beichen Holy Land has been destroyed!¡± In the Northern Region, the news was earth-shattering! When all the Sect Gates in the Northern Region heard the news, they were extremely shocked. ¡°What?! How is that possible¡ That¡¯s the Beichen Holy Land¡ How could it be destroyed, how could it be destroyed!¡± ¡± What exactly happened¡ Beichen Holy Land has turned into a wastnd of ruins, broken walls and debris; Quasi-Immortal Artifacts are broken and turned into junk¡ªwhat kind of great cmity urred!¡± ¡°Heaven, could it be that this is the reason for the massive changes in the entire Xuantian Realm?¡± Cultivators and Sect Gates in the Northern Region were extremely shocked. The Western Desert! ¡°Tianfan Hall has been destroyed, buried beneath the sands!¡± After this news was announced, all the people of the Buddhistnds wept! ¡°Has Brahma Heaven left us?¡± ¡°The prophecies of Brahma Heaven about the Devil have finally appeared¡ The Devil will descend upon the world!¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t believe it, how could Tianfan Hall be like this¡¡± When the news had only just spread through the various provinces and territories, each state was already greatly shaken, but quickly, the news from all ces converged! ¡± What? It¡¯s not just our Beichen Holy Land in the Northern Region, the Holy Lands in the Eastern Wilderness, Western Desert, and other ces have also faced the same tribtion? How is this possible! How is it possible!¡± In the Northern Region, within a Supreme Level force, in the main hall, all the Supremes were stunned. Uneptable! ¡°Impossible¡ Who could simultaneously destroy so many forces? Even an Immortal could not do this, what exactly happened?¡± Chapter 55 - 55Chapter 51 The Final Pure Land_2 55Chapter 51 The Final Pure Land_2 Trantor: 549690339 | In the Eastern Wilderness, within an ancient Almost Holy Land, the sword in the old Sect Master¡¯s hand trembled, and his voice betrayed the panic in his heart! ¡°Devils have truly descended upon this world, the strongest of the Xuantian Realm are already dead, and next, it will be all creatures¡ It¡¯s over, this is the apocalypse!¡± In the Western Desert, a Cultivator known as the Reincarnator of a Living Buddha, spread his judgment across the entire wastnd! Great shock struck all the provinces! The world was in turmoil! People were in a state of anxiety and fear! At the same time. In the Southern Territory. ¡°Urgent news!¡± ¡°The Northern Domain Beichen Holy Land has been destroyed!¡± ¡°Urgent news!¡± ¡°The West Desert Tianfan Temple is buried, no longer existing in this world!¡± ¡°Urgent news!¡± ¡°The East Destion Xuanyuan n ispletely wiped out, the Spirit Dragon in, without a single survivor!¡± ¡°Urgent news!¡± ¡°The Zhongzhou Taihua Holy Land has vanished from the Xuantian Realm, leaving only wastnd behind!¡± Urgent reports from all over the Xuantian Realm bombarded the major powers of the Southern Territory like a blizzard! Taiyan Holy Land! At this moment, the Mountain Protection Array had been fully activated, and outside of it, over a dozen Supremes, armed with Quasi-Immortal Artifacts, were patrolling at all times! It was like facing a formidable enemy! Inside the grand hall. Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had gathered all the powerhouses from the two Holy Lands and the entire Southern Territory. Silence! The grand hall was left in silence! The Supremes were bombarded with one piece of news after another, from initial shock to subsequent awe, to numbness, and now to silence¡ All the Supremes¡¯ faces still held an expression as if they were in a dream. ¡°Absurd¡ How absurd, that one day the Holy Lands of the Xuantian Realm would face collective extinction¡¡± A Supreme murmured to himself. ¡°What kind of existence is acting, to carry out such an annihtion¡¡± ¡°It¡¯s unimaginable, what the other regions have descended into by now¡¡± ¡°Perhaps the Southern Territory is thest Pure Land of the Xuantian Realm??¡± Everyone spoke in low voices. Yet Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had extremely grave expressions on their faces. ¡°This is only the beginning¡ I never thought Senior Li¡¯s words woulde true so quickly!¡± The words of Saint Lord Lingchao seemed to carry a great weight. Back in the small courtyard, when Senior Li told them that simr incidents would further unfold and that it was only a beginning, they had anticipated uing turmoil, but no one could have foreseen such a colossal wave! The entire Xuantian Realm was in disarray! ¡°For such a major event, Senior Li must have known about it long ago¡ Have Saintess Mu Qianning and the others arrived yet?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord then asked. At the time, Senior Li had instructed them to ¡°take good care¡± of Mu Qianning and others during such events, clearly hinting that they should report to them promptly¡ Now, with such a massive situation at hand, they did not know how to handle it, so they had already sent people to summon Mu Qianning and the others. ¡°Saintess Mu Qianning and others have arrived!¡± At this moment, a loud call came from outside the Taiyan Holy Land. Instantly, the Mountain Protection Array opened, and Fire Spirit and others were escorted into the Holy Land by the Supremes holding Quasi-Immortal Artifacts. Inside the grand hall, the two Saint Lords and countless Supremes all turned their heads, looking towards the entrance of the grand hall! Under the gaze of all, Fire Spirit and the others finally entered. Seeing them, both Yuanyang and Lingchao were overjoyed, and they quickly rose to greet them! ¡°Saintess, you have finally arrived!¡± Both Saint Lords were extremely respectful. None of the numerous Supremes in the hall found anything strange about this reverence, as it was widely known in the Southern Territory that Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and others had a terrifying entity behind them, whose words could annihte Holy Lands and Immortals. Therefore, their respectful greeting was epted by everyone. ¡°You are too kind, sirs,¡± Fire Spirit spoke, saying, ¡°We heard some of the news in the Fire Country¡ Is it true that more than four Holy Lands have been destroyed?¡± ¡°To be precise, twelve!¡± Lingchao solemnly said, ¡°In the entire Xuantian Realm, there aren¡¯t more than twenty Holy Land-ranked forces, and now, nearly more than half have been wiped out!¡± Hearing this number, Fire Spirit and the others were momentarily stunned! They had not expected¡ so many¡ It was too terrifying. ¡°Now, rumors are spreading throughout the realms, causing widespread panic, and tales of devils and the apocalypse are being brought up incessantly¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord sighed and said, ¡°Even the destruction of the Three Absolutes Holy Land is no longer a concern to anyone, and we have temporarily sealed the news rted to the Southern Territory.¡± ¡°It seems then, that our Southern Territory might be the only Pure Land in the entire Xuantian Realm¡¡± Fire Spirit spoke, seeming lost in thought. ¡°Exactly!¡± The two Saint Lords nodded, their faces revealing aplex expression¡ªif it weren¡¯t for Senior Li in the Southern Territory, how could it possibly be a Pure Land? It would have likely been the first to bepletely annihted! His presence was truly a blessing for the entire Southern Territory! ¡°I heard¡ based on some ancient prophecies, this is just the beginning, and the disasterswill continue¡¡± At that moment, Mu Qianning spoke with some uncertainty. Yuanyang nodded and replied, ¡°Saintess Qian Ning, what you said is true. We have been discussing for a day now, and the conclusion is that someone is orchestrating from behind, and the destruction of these Holy Lands is precisely to fulfill their goal!¡± ¡°At this moment, it¡¯s highly likely that they are observing from the shadows, and if annihting these Holy Lands does not achieve their objectives, then the destruction will probably continue. The remaining Holy Lands won¡¯t be spared, nor will Supreme Level forces, Transcendent Powers, and so on, be gradually wiped out¡ Perhaps, until all Cultivators are eradicated!¡± Chapter 56 - 51 The Final Pure Land_3 56 Chapter 51 The Final Pure Land_3 Trantor: 549690339 | His words were heavy. ¡°s, a great cmity, a great cmity indeed!¡± ¡°Who would have thought that the Xuantian Realm would one day face such a catastrophe¡¡± ¡°That we are still alive is already an immense stroke of luck¡¡± The many Supremes expressed their worries aloud. ¡°In times like these, perhaps only Senior Li can save the entire Xuantian Realm!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke, his eyes filled with hope, saying, ¡°Therefore, we have specially invited a few of you here, not knowing¡ does Senior Li have any guidance?¡± Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and her twopanions could only shake their heads in confusion. ¡°Although Senior Li has given no guidance¡¡± Mu Qianning mustered her courage and said, ¡°But I think that now, our Southern Territory is the only safe ce left in the entire Xuantian Realm¡¡± ¡°We perhaps should invite cultivators from other realms toe here for refuge¡ Otherwise, otherwise they will all die¡¡± Her clear,rge eyes hid a deep unwillingness to see harme to others. Lingchao and Yuan Yang couldn¡¯t help but furrow their brows lightly. Inviting cultivators from other realms to the Southern Territory for refuge? This idea had indeed urred to them before, but it was quickly dismissed. Now that the Xuantian Realm is nearly destroyed, the driving force behind it is unknown; if they opened the Southern Territory widely, offering shelter to everyone, it could make the Southern Territory a target for all! But now, the one proposing this idea was Mu Qianning! After understanding the situation, both Holy Lands knew that in the entire Southern Territory and even the Xuantian Realm, Mu Qianning was the first person to have met Senior Li and the one to receive his bestowed fortune. This status was extraordinary, and from a certain perspective, it was even symbolic. ¡°1 support Qianning¡¯s suggestion.¡± At this moment, Fire Spirit also spoke up, saying, ¡°Opening the Southern Territory widely to provide shelter for the cultivators of the world may not seem wise¡ but it is an act of righteousness, an act of goodness!¡± She stood by Mu Qianning¡¯s side, saying, ¡°Moreover, I believe that the reason we have been looked after by Senior Li might be precisely because of Qianning¡¯s kindness¡¡± She would never forget that when she was out of options, it was the kind-hearted Mu Qianning who, at the risk of angering Senior Li, spoke for her and earned her a sliver of recognition from him¡ Although she had never said it out loud, she was firmly convinced in her heart that Mu Qianning¡¯s purity and kindness were maybe key to Senior Li¡¯s favor! So, facing the catastrophe of the entire Xuantian Realm, the lives of a billion people¡ one should not be indifferent! Hearing that Fire Spirit supported her, Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t help but happily hold her hand. At the same moment, Lingchao and Yuan Yang also exchanged nces. ¡°The two Saintesses are correct¡ we indeed should not close our doors!¡± Lingchao said. ¡°Yes, moreover, a person like Senior Li arranges everything in imperceptible ways; he has made us report back to people like Saintess Qianning, and her nature and kindness might just be the direction guiding us forward!¡± Yuan Yang also nodded, seeing now that this was the only path! ¡°Our two Holy Lands will immediately join forces to send a message to the outside world, telling them that the Southern Territory is the only Pure Land!¡± ¡°We wee them to take refuge in the Southern Territory!¡± The two of them dered! Hearing this, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both smiled sincerely! Soon, the joint letter from the two holynds of the Southern Territory was sent out to the outer world through various channels! ¡°A great crisis hase upon the Xuantian Realm, but the Southern Territory is the only Pure Land, weing all cultivators to take refuge here!¡± ¡°We will provide everything, helping the cultivators of the Xuantian Realm to ovee this difficult time together!¡± This was the main content of the letter! At the same time, to make it more convincing, the letter also mentioned the incident involving the Ascension tform of the Cangli Mountain Range! That day, many ancient message Arrays lit up. Innumerable people set out from the Southern Territory, traveling to various states and regions to deliver the message¡. The news spread rapidly! And the Southern Territory, it directly attracted the attention of the entire Xuantian Realm! Chapter 57 - 52 Escape from the Regions i 57 Chapter 52 Escape from the Regions i Trantor: 549690339 I The news from the Southern Territory spread swiftly throughout the entire Xuantian Realm. Instantly, it captured the attention of the entire Xuantian Realm. ¡°Sect Master, ording to the letter from the Southern Territory, the Southern Territory is now thest Pure Land¡ Perhaps we should relocate there!¡± In the Northern Region, within a Sect Gate, an elder suggested. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s necessarily the case. We¡¯re just a Transcendent Power. Even if there really are entities targeting the major forces of the Xuantian Realm, it won¡¯t involve us¡¡± ¡°What makes the Southern Territory capable of ensuring its own safety? The forces of Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land are not stronger than those of Beichen Holy Land!¡± ¡°Right, after arriving in the Southern Territory, living under others, wouldn¡¯t we have to swear allegiance to the forces of both Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land¡¡± Many opposed this! The old Sect Master, sitting at the head of the table, was silent, contemting for a long time before finally speaking, ¡°Now, it¡¯s no longer up to us to choose.¡± ¡°The world is in great turmoil, yet not a single Holy Land in the Southern Territory has been destroyed. Moreover, the letter mentions that there is a power in the Southern Territory capable of deterring everything!¡± ¡°Just for that reason alone, we too should seek refuge there!¡± ¡°For the continuity of our sect! We set out today!¡± His word was final! Western Desert. Outside a grand Chan temple, half of the Western Desert¡¯s Brahman Cultivators had gathered. This Chan temple, known as Kongming Hall, was the premier Brahmanic Daoist force in the Western Desert. After Tianfan Hall was destroyed, Fan Tu fell into chaos, and all Brahman Cultivators and devotees were in a state of panic. They now gathered in front of Kongming Temple to discuss jointly. Inside the grand hall, an old Brahmanic Saint Teacher was seated, his face kind andpassionate, his kasaya worn as though it had endured countless years of weathering. ¡°Saint Teacher Kongming, a letter has arrived from the Southern Territory iming that it is thest Pure Land, and inviting all Cultivators to take refuge there,¡± a middle-aged Brahman Cultivator came forward to report to the old Saint Teacher. ¡ªAfter the destruction of Tianfan Hall, almost all ¡°Saint Teachers¡± had perished, and this old Brahman Cultivator before them was thest one left. That¡¯s why he held such a pull. Saint Teacher Kongming took the letter from the middle-aged Brahman Cultivator and read it. ¡°The Southern Territory¡ possesses a power capable of deterring everything?¡± Saint Teacher Kongming murmured to himself before finally saying, ¡°Whether the Southern Territory is thest Pure Land or not, all Cultivators of the world should now unite,e together, only then can they resist the demons.¡± ¡°Pass on the word, let all disciples and devotees prepare to embark to the Southern Territory.¡± The words of the Saint Teacher were soft, but they reached across the entire Chan hall, and nearly everyone heard them. This caused a stir because it meant they were going to give up Fan Tu¡ Eastern Wilderness. ¡°I find this unbelievable!¡± Within a grand pce, the elders of the Divine Sword Sect had gathered, and a Supreme Elder was the first to voice his opinion on the letter from the Southern Territory: ¡°The Southern Territory is far from a Pure Land. ording to the information we received earlier, the Three Absolutes Holy Land was annihted when it went to the Southern Territory for a holy war; not a single person was left!¡± ¡°The Holy Lands there are simply not trustworthy. Once we enter, I¡¯m afraid we will not be able to control our own fate!¡± he warned. ¡°We should first send someone to investigate the Southern Territory. Only after confirming it¡¯s safe should we move there.¡± ¡°Exactly, in today¡¯s world, only caution will ensure the survival of our Sect!¡± Voices rose one after another, skepticism evident in their words. The old Sect Master was silent for a very long time and, holding an ancient sword, eventually said: ¡°We no longer have a choice.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s good or bad, at least there exists a power there capable of destroying the Three Absolutes Holy Land.¡± ¡°In other words, the Southern Territory is capable of ying Immortals. Let¡¯s not forget, the Patriarch of the Three Absolutes Holy Land, the Three Absolute Immortal, certainly left behind an Immortal-level trump card.¡± ¡°And such power might also be ourst hope against the dark hand that¡¯s destroying all the major Holy Lands¡¡± ¡°I have made up my mind, the entire Sect will move to the Southern Territory!¡± Central Province. Central Province has always been the center of the Xuantian Realm since ancient times, with clouds of Cultivators and a forest of powerful beings. Here, the number of Holy Lands is greater than in the other four domains, with a total of seven major Holy Lands. But today, the Holy Lands that entered to discuss matters in ¡°Luofu Pce¡± were down to just three. Luofu Holy Land, Cihang Holy Abode, Dugu n. These three Holy Lands were all that remained of Central Province¡¯s once abundant Holy Lands; the other four had already been destroyed. Among them, the Three Absolutes Holy Land went to the Southern Territory to initiate a holy war and never returned, while the remaining three were wiped out in one day by a terrifying force from beyond the heavens. Inside Luofu Pce. The Holy Masters and Supreme Elders of the three Holy Lands were currently discussing matters. ¡°With the destruction of Taihua Holy Land and the other two Holy Lands, now only our three families remain in the entire Southern Territory¡¡± a ck Robed Figure began speaking; he was the Holy Master of Luofu Holy Land, adorned with a golden Tai Chi symbol on his ck robe. ¡°If we¡¯re not mistaken in our guess, the destruction of so many Sect Gates is simply because the beings in the shadows want to achieve their goals. Now, they must be observing in secret, and next, it¡¯s very likely that we will follow in the footsteps of many Holy Lands!¡± The master of Cihang Holy Abode, a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a white gauze dress, her face veiled to reveal only a pair of charming apricot eyes, was filled with worry. And sitting next to them was a middle-aged man in in clothes. His face was sharp, silent, and seemingly never ready to easily express opinions. With his graying hair, he appeared like a disheartened jianghu wanderer, making it hard to imagine that he was a person qualified to sit alongside the Luofu Holy Master and the Master of Cihang Abode. ¡°Regarding the letter from the Southern Territory, what do you all think? Their assessment of the situation coincides with ours, believing that there is some powerful entity orchestrating all this, aiming at the entire Xuantian Realm¡¡± said the Luofu Holy Master. ¡°Holy Master, I believe the letter from the Southern Territory cannot be trusted. Everyone should still remember, the Three Absolutes Holy Land went there and not a single person returned¡¡± at this moment, a Supreme figure sitting below spoke. Everyone nodded in agreement. As Holy Lands within the Central Province, they shared deep bonds, and the destruction of the Three Absolutes Holy Land made it difficult for them to harbor good feelings toward the Southern Territory. ¡°Master of Cihang Abode, what do you think?¡± The Luofu Holy Master turned to the middle-aged beauty. The Master of Cihang Abode was silent for a long while before speaking, ¡°We have already tried to contact our ancestors in the Immortal Domain, but there has been no response; we have lost contact with them.¡± ¡°Without a response from the ancestors, relying on the Immortal-level powers within our sects, once those beings make a move, we truly have no chance of survival. Don¡¯t forget the Spirit Dragon of the Xuanyuan Family and the Three Golden Bodies from the Leiyin Temple in the Western Desert¡ Those are all Immortal-level powers!¡± Her words left everyone in silence. In the face of stark reality, even the Holy Lands were as precarious as eggs bnced on end. ¡°And beyond doubt, there exists Immortal-level power in the Southern Territory!¡± ¡°We can only seek refuge under such power!¡± ¡°Therefore, I agree to go to the Southern Territory!¡± The Cihang Saint Lord stated her position. ¡°Brother Dugu, your opinion?¡± The Luofu Holy Master then turned to the man in in clothes. This middle-aged man was none other than the head of the Central Province¡¯s Sword Immortal family, Dugu Chenlu! Dugu Chenlu remained silent for a good while before finally speaking, ¡°When the Taihua Holy Land was destroyed, I sensed a trace of disturbance.¡± ¡°At that time, I wielded the Dugu Ancestral Sword to sh at the unknown existence.¡± ¡°However, after that sh was made, not only was the unknown existence unharmed, but it struck back along the path of the sword light, resulting in the destruction of the thirteen Quasi-Immortal Sword Spirits of the Dugu Family, shattering the ancestral sword as well.¡± Having said that, he waved his hand, and countless fragments of the sword appeared on the table. Seeing this, everyone involuntarily gasped! Nobody expected that during the destruction of the Taihua Holy Land, the Dugu Family had sensed it¡ And evenunched a sword strike at the unknown existence! This was terrifying. ¡°Indeed, Dugu is a determined figure¡ actually daring to wield a sword against that unknown existence!¡± ¡°The Sword Immortal family is low-key but immensely powerful, with almost every generation boasting an Almost Immortal; their strength is actually greater than that of the Holy Lands¡¡± ¡°What a pity that even the mighty Dugu Family suffered such a crushing blow, greatly diminishing their vitality!¡± All faces showed respect, worthy of the ruthless Dugu Family. But the loss was also enormous, with the ancestral sword containing the power of the Immortal Path shattered, and the family¡¯s thirteen Quasi-Immortal Sword Spirits wiped out¡ It could be said that the Dugu Family had been deeply wounded, their foundation almostpletely eroded! ¡°I believe that the sh I made was not even noticed by the unknown existence; otherwise, with a mere flick of its hand, I would not be sitting here with all of you today. The shattering of the ancestral sword and the eradication of the thirteen sword spirits were but the unintended consequences of its bacsh.¡± Dugu Chenlu¡¯s somber words caused everyone¡¯s hearts to plummet.¡¯ What kind of existence could this be? Not needing to care at all, if you dare to touch it, you would be seeking your own death. Dugu Chenlu sighed and ultimately said, ¡°So, let¡¯s head for the Southern Territory!¡± Chapter 58 - 53 The Entire Southern Territory Follows_i Chapter 53 The Entire Southern Territory Follows_i Trantor: 549690339 | Zang Xuanisdead! This news instantly caused the True Immortals present to reveal expressions of extreme shock. ¡°Howis this possible!¡± A ck Robed Figure cried out in disbelief, his face full of incredulity, ¡°In the Xuantian Realm, Immortals are invincible, let alone us!¡± ¡°Right, even if all the ants in the Xuantian Realm were added together, they wouldn¡¯t be able to shake even one of his hands, how could he die?!¡± ¡°This can¡¯t be real, what exactly happened, could there be some mistake in the news?¡± ¡°Could it really be a disaster¡ otherwise, why would the World Tree remain unshaken?¡± Everyone was bewildered with doubts. The leading ck Robed Figure asked in a deep voice, ¡°Luo Ming, what exactly happened?¡± Luo Ming said: ¡°I went to the Southern Territory¡¯s Ascension tform and found that the Ascension tform connecting to the Immortal Domain had been destroyed, and Zang Xuan was nowhere to be found. In a graveyard of ants, I discovered soil stained with his blood.¡± As he spoke, he took out a handful of bloodied soil from his sleeve! ¡°Based on this, it can be inferred that he has ceased to have any vital signs, and his soul has perishedpletely!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was incredible shocked, and they all came forward, each one examining the handful of soil. ¡°Indeed, it is his blood!¡± ¡°Judging by this lifeless blood, he was really killed¡ and very thoroughly at that!¡± ¡°But how is this possible? As everyone knows, there isn¡¯t even a single Immortal in the Xuantian Realm anymore, let alone an existence that could kill a True Immortal?!¡± The group was skeptical. ¡°The only possibility is the Immortal Domain!¡± At this moment, the leading ck Robed Figure spoke up, his face somber, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Zang Xuan killed people at the Ascension tform; it would necessarily have alerted the Sect Gates in the Immortal Domain.¡± ¡°However, within the Immortal Domain, only the weakest Sect Gates on the fringes would need to connect to the Lower World in such a way to select talents¡ And for there to be a True Immortal in such Sect Gate would be quite extraordinary. Yet, even if a True Immortal were to discover this, they couldn¡¯t possibly be a match for Zang Xuan through the barrier between realms!¡± Someone questioned. The leading ck Robed Figure shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know exactly what happened, but clearly, only an existence from the Immortal Domain could achieve this.¡± ¡°ording to the Immortal Monarch¡¯s orders, we¡¯ve already destroyed over a dozen worlds, and adding those destroyed by other dispatched teams, although it might not be muchpared to the total of one hundred thousand Lower Worlds, it could have alerted someone in the Immortal Domain¡¡± He pondered and said, ¡°Perhaps we should stop for a while and investigate clearly before continuing!¡± Many ck Robed Figures looked at each other, their eyes filled with reluctance. Destroying the Lower Worlds had be second nature to them, but now, apanion had died here, and even their progress was being hindered! Intolerable! ¡°Right,¡± At this time, Luo Ming continued, ¡°It seems that all the ants from this world are headed to the Southern Territory, fleeing there.¡± ¡°Heh,¡± The leading ck Robed Figure scoffed disdainfully, ¡°No matter how they flee, they can¡¯t escape the Xuantian Realm. Gathering together only makes it more convenient for us to strike directly.¡± ¡°Chen Yun, you take some people to contact the Helmsman. Have him check whether there¡¯s any unusual movement in the Immortal Domain¡ If it¡¯s not the focus of the Immortal Domain, then it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± ¡°Luo Ming, you take two people to the Southern Territory, and at mymand, annihte all those ants¡ª¡± Upon hearing themand, two ck Robed Figures bowed and promptly left. After they had gone, the leading ck Robed Figure looked toward the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, his eyes flickering indecisively, ¡°This world seems to have gotten a bit interesting¡¡± Time flies. Southern Territory. Countless cultivators have flooded into the Southern Territory¡ Central Province, Northern Region, Western Desert, Eastern Wilderness¡ The massive crowd that arrived at the Southern Territory suddenly made it crowded. Even the most ordinary mountains rich in Spiritual Energy were upied. So many people havee that the resources of the Southern Territory simply cannot supply them all. Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land have each designated some cities or mountain ranges rich in spiritual energy to amodate the arrivals, but they were almost all upied by holynds and such, with ordinary sects unable to get a piece. The Southern Territory was bustling with excitement. At this moment, outside the gate of the Taiyan Holy Land. All the major holynds and supreme forces that had traveled from the outside world to the Southern Territory had arrived. ¡°Open the gates!¡± The words of Saint Lord Lingchao transmitted out, and the gates promptly opened. The holy lords of the major holynds, along with a throng of supremes,nded at the gates of the Taiyan Holy Land. There were strong figures from the Western Desert like Saint Teacher Kongming, from the Central Province like Luofu Holy Master, Cihang Saint Lord, Dugu Chenlu, and others¡. Since the holynds of the Northern Region had been wiped out, leading the way was the Sect Master of the quasi-holynd, Divine Sword Sect. ¡°Esteemed Brothers, your prestigious arrival at Taiyan Holy Land honors us greatly. Please, let us converse further within the grand hall!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao walked in, his smile weing as he invited them inside. The group then made their way into the main hall of Taiyan Holy Land. The main hall was vast and spacious, yet at this moment it was filled to capacity. Dignitaries at the level of supremes and above from various states had almost alle, numbering in the hundreds! ¡ªViewed within this great hall, the number indeed seemed vast, but whenpared to the trillions of beings of the entire Xuantian Realm, they would appear rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns. All the major holy lords took their seats at the forefront. At the head sat five individuals. Among them, Lingchao and Yuan Yang were surprisingly seated on either side, while in the middle were two sequestered females, and one elder. In the very center, the girl who was none other than Mu Qianning; to her left, Fire Spirit satposedly, and to her right, Yu Qishui appeared somewhat uneasy. Mu Qianning¡¯s palms were slightly sweaty under the gazes of everyone there. In her clear eyes, one could glimpse a tinge of apprehension and nervousness. After all, those seated at the scene were all holy lords and supremes¡ Who could have imagined that just a few months prior, her Lihuo Sect was merely a star-ranked force, struggling desperately for survival in the face of Fiery Mountain¡¯s invasion, and fighting an uphill battle. Now, she sat at the very center of countless mighty beings of the entire Xuantian Realm, receiving the gazes of countless powerful individuals. This feeling made her ufortable. In truth, none of the three of them wished to attend this congress. Indeed, although the three had advanced their cultivation levels swiftly, as of now, they were merely at the Mahayana Realm, not even venerables yet. But, both Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord insisted that they must attend, for only they could represent Senior Li! ¡°Ha-ha, Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, I must admit I am quite curious. Who are these three? I have never seen them before.¡± With everyone sitting, upon seeing the situation at the front, Luofu Holy Master suddenly spoke up. ¡°Indeed, at a nce, they are just a few cultivators at the Mahayana Realm. What qualifies them to sit at the most honorable ce?¡± ¡°It¡¯sughable, have Lingchao and Yuan Yang truly be senile?¡± ¡°Us, a group of supremes and holy lords, could our status possibly be inferior to these three insects?¡± A number of people murmured quietly. The many powerful figures of the world had always been unruly; supremes with their pride, holy lords with their dignity. Now, they were being asked to let a few at the Mahayana Realm sit in the most prestigious seats. Lingchao and Yuan Yang might not mind, but they couldn¡¯t stand it! In the eyes of many, this was nothing short of aplete disregard for the supremes and holy lords! However, Saint Lord Lingchao responded indifferently, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you haven¡¯t seen them before. I will introduce them to everyone.¡± ¡°These three are Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Fire Spirit, the Divine Maiden, and Yu Qishui, the Divine Envoy.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao paused before saying, ¡°Currently, the cultivators of the Southern Territory all follow them, taking their edicts as guidelines for their actions.¡± Earlier, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had consulted with Mu Qianning, asking if they could make Senior Li¡¯s existence known to the public. She had given them a negative response. In Mu Qianning¡¯s view, Senior Li preferred quietude and if his presence became widely known, it might disturb him, which would be inappropriate. Therefore, Saint Lord Lingchao would not mention Senior Li¡¯s name directly; introducing Mu Qianning and the others sufficed. Upon hearing this, the entire assembly was astir! The supremes and holy lords present looked at these three unbelievably. The people who the entire Southern Territory¡¯s cultivators followed??? Chapter 59 - 54: The New Task 1 Chapter 54: The New Task 1 Trantor: 549690339 | The heroes of the Xuantian Realm, countless Saint Masters and Supremes, all looked at Mu Qianning and the other two in surprise at this moment. These three people were clearly only at the Mahayana Realm in terms of cultivation level, not even Venerables! Although those two women seemed young and reaching the Mahayana Realm could be considered the mark of peerless geniuses. But, to have the entire Southern Territory follow them? This was simply too terrifying. If these words hade from anyone else, people would have found it too absurd, but now, the one who spoke was Ling Chao. The Saint Master of the mighty Taiyan Holy Land! ¡°How is this possible, just based on these three minor Mahayana Realm cultivators, they can make the entire Southern Territory follow them?¡± ¡°Hehe, is Saint Lord Lingchao joking with us?¡± ¡°The mighty Southern Territory! Has it really fallen to this extent?¡± Everyone began to speak, not believing it at all. Luofu Holy Master also couldn¡¯t help but smile, not denying or mocking, but instead asked, ¡°May I know the origins of these three?¡± Cihang Saint Lord, Saint Teacher Kongming, and the others, were also waiting solemnly for the answer. In their eyes, a person like Ling Chao would definitely not make carelessments; since he had spoken in front of all the heroes of the world, there must be a reason. Especially now, at this critical juncture where anything could happen. Saint Lord Lingchao, however, shook his head and said, ¡°My esteemed fellows need not ask further. What I can tell everyone is, the disaster facing the Southern Territory came earlier than in the Western Desert, Northern Region, and Central Province, and had it not been for these three, the Southern Territory would have already beenpletely destroyed.¡± At that time, it was Fire Spirit and the others who carried Senior Li¡¯s calligraphy to suppress True Immortals, saving the entire Southern Domain Allied Forces. Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces became even grimmer! However, the more Ling Chao and the others were reticent about it, the more curious the many Saint Masters and Supremes became! ¡°Hehe, I just think that at the critical moment of life and death for the Xuantian Realm, it doesn¡¯t matter who it is, we still need to rify their origins to reassure everyone.¡± Luofu Holy Master sarcasticallyughed. He was filled with doubt. ¡°I agree. The reason for our visit is because of the trust we have in our fellow Southern Territory practitioners, but if these two esteemed lords can¡¯t even tell us the true identities of these three, isn¡¯t that too dismissive?¡± Cihang Saint Lord also spoke, directly touching on the most fundamental issue ¡ªtrust. At a time when people were panicking, the Xuantian Realm was unstable, and if they began to doubt each other, they would likely quickly disintegrate. And before this, the Three Absolutes Holy Land, which went to the holy war in the Southern Territory, silently perished, and the Holy Lands in Central Province were particrly sensitive, which is why they were so concerned. At this moment, Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke indifferently, ¡°Cihang Saint Lord, trust is mutual. If you trust us, why the incessant questioning?¡± ¡°If you do not trust us, how can we talk of trusting you?¡± With these words spoken, Cihang Saint Lord was suddenly rendered speechless, with a hint of annoyance in her beautiful eyes. ¡°I understand where everyone¡¯s concerns lie,¡± At this time, Yuanyang Holy Lord continued, ¡°I can tell you definitively that the destruction of the Three Absolutes Holy Land was their own doing.¡± Upon this revtion, everyone became solemn. This indicated that the fall of the Three Absolutes Holy Land had something to do with Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land? Yuanyang Holy Lord¡¯s straightforwardness left everyone speechless. ¡°I believe these three benefactors are probably not bad people.¡± At this time, Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert spoke, ¡°However, I am puzzled; even the two Saint Masters are unaware of what¡¯s happening in the Xuantian Realm. Could you let us know a thing or two, so we can also take precautions?¡± Everyone waited for the response. After some thought, Ling Chao said, ¡°I can tell you all, the mastermind behind the Xuantian Realm¡¯s current crisis is at least¡ of the True Immortal level!¡± True Immortal! With these words out, everyone was shocked beyond measure. Was it indeed an Immortal Path figure who had taken action? ¡°True Immortal¡ What level is that? Should it be far above that of Immortals?¡± ¡°I have not heard of it, but being capable of ying Immortals must certainly be terrifying.¡± Everyone began to speak again. ¡°Venerables prove themselves as Immortals, but they are just Human Immortals.¡± At this time, the usually reticent Dugu Chen spoke, ¡°For a Lower World like the Xuantian Realm, Human Immortals are already the peak, but for the vast Immortal Domain, Human Immortals are nothing but ants.¡± ¡°Above Human Immortals, there are Profound Immortals, True Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals. Beyond Heavenly Immortals, there are even stronger and higher realms.¡± In his voice, there was a sense of emotion as he said, ¡°If a True Immortal hase this time, then everything makes sense.¡± ¡°Simrly, if a True Immortal strikes, they could annihte the entire Xuantian Realm.¡± His words made everyonee to a realization. They had not expected that the seemingly invincible Immortals, in the hierarchy of the Immortal Domain, were actually at the very bottom and considered ants¡ ¡°I understand now, a True Immortal to a Human Immortal is like us to Cave Void Realm Cultivators¡¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡ then what hope do we have?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to resist at all, with such a power, we might as well wait for death¡¡± ¡°Such beings¡ what could the Xuantian Realm possibly have to attract them?¡± After understanding the situation, everyone felt bleak and despairing in their hearts. This was an insurmountable gap indeed. Even if an Immortal appeared tonight, it would be impossible to stop this cataclysm. ¡°Since True Immortals are so terrifying¡ then I¡¯m very curious, what is the power that the two Saint Lords mentioned, the power the Southern Territory possesses to deter everything¡ could it possibly deter a True Immortal?¡± A Supreme questioned with skepticism. But Yuanyang Daoren merely smiled faintly, saying, ¡°Since you all havee, rest assured.¡± A True Immortal? Senior Li didn¡¯t even need to make a move and could randomly ughter at will! Meanwhile. On the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, a peaceful little mountain vige. Jiang Xue had settled down here, even though Senior Li did not ept her as a disciple, she still did not wish to leave. Because with Senior Li here, this little mountain vige had already acquired a certain special Taoist charm. Living here for a long time could deepen one¡¯s Taoist foundation. Another reason was that in the Xuantian Realm, the highest status one could attain was that of an Immortal. Once one became an Immortal, as their strength increased, they often could not stay in the Xuantian Realm for too long. This was why Immortals from the Xuantian Realm throughout the ages have all consecutively entered the Immortal Domain, some without even having the time to leave their legacy. Jiang Xue found that in this small mountain vige, she did not feel any restrictions whatsoever. She had a vague feeling that even if she grew to the True Immortal Realm, she would not be subject to any constraints. ¡ª This could only mean that the status of this small mountain vige was actually higher than the entire Xuantian Realm! In Li Fan¡¯s small courtyard. ¡°Teacher, Jiang Xue has settled down in the vige.¡± Nan Feng returned from outside and told Li Fan the news. Her face showed aplex expression, understanding that a generation¡¯s Immortal settling here was for a particr reason. It was all because her teacher lived here. Li Fan smiled. This Jiang Xue was truly persistent. ¡°Qian Ning and others, here to pay respects to Senior Li!¡± At this time, the voice of Mu Qianning came from outside. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Fan said. Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and others walked in and greeted, ¡°We pay our respects to Senior.¡± ¡°No need for formalities.¡± Li Fan smiled, ¡°How have things been recently?¡± Fire Spirit said, ¡°Reporting to Senior, in the past month, natural disasters have urred in the Western Desert, Northern Region, and Eastern Wilderness, resulting in many deaths.¡± Li Fan felt a chill upon hearing this. Natural disasters! ¡°Are they rted to what¡¯s happening here?¡± Li Fan inquired. It hadn¡¯t been long since an earthquake struck the Cangli Mountains, and now other parts of the Xuantian Realm were having trouble too? The Xuantian Realm really was fraught with disasters. Indeed, everything was under Senior Li¡¯s control¡ Fire Spirit respectfully said, ¡°Exactly so!¡± Li Fan sighed upon hearing this. Whenever a disaster struck, countless innocent lives were always lost. Meanwhile, Mu Qianning looked at Li Fan somewhat nervously and said, ¡°Senior Li¡ Qian Ning has suggested to Saint Lords Lingchao and Yuanyang that they ept refugees from all territories into the Southern Territory for asylum¡ Did I do wrong?¡± At the time, out of kindness, she had made the suggestion to Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land. Now upon reflection, without getting Senior Li¡¯s permission, she wondered if she had been too audacious¡ But Li Fan just smiled and said, ¡°Of course not, maintaining kindness and doing kind deeds is never wrong.¡± ¡°You have a kind heart.¡± Receiving Senior Li¡¯s praise, Mu Qianning¡¯s face immediately blushed with joy! Fire Spirit¡¯s heart flickered withplexity. Indeed, there was a reason why Mu Qianning was the first to gain Senior Li¡¯s favor. ¡°However, while it¡¯s good to save people, your abilities are ultimately limited; don¡¯t be too hard on yourself,¡± Li Fan reminded them. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning both nodded. ¡°System task issued: Take in ten disciples and teach them different skills to help them survive in these troubled times!¡± At that moment, the voice of the System suddenly rang out! Chapter 60 - 55 Senior Li Takes on a Disciple_1 Chapter 55 Senior Li Takes on a Disciple_1 Trantor: 549690339 | ¡°Take ten disciples and teach them different skills to help them survive in this chaotic world!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan was immediately startled. This¡ he has to take disciples again? He guessed that the disaster that had urred had left many people homeless, and the System was expecting Li Fan to help some of them with all his abilities¡ He instantly felt worried. Taking ten disciples was one thing, but the key was that he had to teach them different skills to help them survive in this chaotic world. Although he possessed a myriad of misceneous skills, the better ones, like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, could still be considered cultured pleasures and might attract some interest. The rest seemed rather¡ like trivial party tricks or insignificant skills. For instance, a hundred ways to nt trees? Vegetable nting and hybridization techniques? Peach Tree Grafting Techniques? Postpartum Care for Sows? The fourteen hammering techniques of cksmithing? Who would want to learn these things? Besides, even if they learned them, could they really survive in a chaotic world with these skills? He did not believe it himself. How pleasant it was now, teaching Zi Ling and Nan Feng, two great beauties, listening to them call him ¡°Master¡± every day. It couldn¡¯t be morefortable. If he took ten disciples, that would be a tremendous pressure. It was hard to take disciples, but even harder to teach them. But, one couldn¡¯t simply ignore a System task. Seeing the expression on Li Fan¡¯s face, Fire Spirit considerately asked, ¡°Senior Li, do you have any orders to give?¡± Li Fan had a thought; he had limited resources in this small mountain vige, but Fire Spirit and others came across more people in the outside world. He could ask for their help. However, in the hearts of Fire Spirit and others, he was, after all, a master of exquisite skills; he couldn¡¯t afford to lower his status too much and had to maintain some dignity. He immediately responded, ¡°Hmm¡ it¡¯s like this, now that chaotic times have arrived, I do possess some minor arts that 1 wish to pass on, but having lived in the mountain vige for a long time, I know very little about the outside world¡¡± Upon hearing these words, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were instantly enlightened. Senior Li, Senior Li was going to take in disciples?! They were immediately excited and surprised. A figure like Senior Li, who could even force True Immortals to spill blood, following by his side was a blessing not achieved in ten lifetimes. If the outside world knew that Senior Li was going to take disciples, it would certainly cause an uproar. Perhaps even the Supreme, Almost Immortals, and Immortals would bow down and beg! They had not forgotten how someone as astonishing and peerless as Jiang Xue had been eager to stay by Senior Li¡¯s side and, after being rejected, was unwilling to leave and chose to live in seclusion in the small mountain vige. And the minor arts mentioned by Senior Li, a joke, how could they really just be minor arts? The minor arts mentioned by Senior Li were surely rare and supreme arts of the Immortal Path! ¡°Senior, Senior, are you really going to take disciples?¡± Fire Spirit could hardly believe it. Li Fan nodded and sighed, ¡°Yes, the chaotic times have begun, and it is something I must do.¡± It was all because of this disaster that had struck the Xuantian Realm. Otherwise, how could the System possibly have him take disciples? So he said, chaotic times had begun, and he was forced to do this out of necessity. But to Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, this showed even more respect and admiration, their eyes filled with greater veneration. ¡°Although detached from the world, ethereal and beyond mortal concerns, he is still able to support the heavens with his strength and harbor the whole world in his heart. This is Senior Li, this is the demeanor of a legendary figure.¡± Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t help but murmur, filled with admiration for Li Fan. ¡°It seems that, in this grand game, Senior Li is preparing to make his move to contend with the great cmity¡¡± Fire Spirit took a deep breath, understanding that Senior Li was nning to use them to spread the news about his uing recruitment of disciples. After all, how could a legendary figure like Senior Li personally seek out disciples? Upon thinking of this, she immediately said, ¡°Senior, rest assured, we will definitely spread the news of your recruitment of disciples throughout the Xuantian Realm. I believe the most outstanding individuals in the entire Xuantian Realm will be vying toe!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan¡¯s face, though usually impassive, couldn¡¯t help but flush with redness. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning had too much confidence in him, to say such things as spreading the word throughout the Xuantian Realm¡ It was too extravagant. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so ostentatious, it¡¯s better to be low-key.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but speak out. What a joke, in this Xuantian Realm, where cultivators reign supreme, as a mere mortal, how could he afford to be arrogant? Moreover, thinking of the skills he could teach, Li Fan felt embarrassed. He didn¡¯t want to make a big fuss, just quietly and discreetlyplete the system task, and that would be enough. Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning instantly understood. ¡°Damn it, I actually forgot, Senior Li is a hermit who doesn¡¯t wish to delve too much into worldly matters, naturally, he doesn¡¯t want to attract attention. Moreover, his grand scheme must involve profound and extensive matters, which should not be known by too many people!¡± Fire Spirit chided herself. Mu Qianning, with eyes full of admiration, looked at Li Fan and asked, ¡°Senior, what kind of disciples are you looking for?¡± Li Fan thought for a moment, then said with a smile, ¡°No specific requirements, let it be left to fate.¡± Left to fate! Although he said so, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both understood that this would probably make many favored sons of heaven regret their mistakes. Like Jiang Xue, those Immortals! Such a high-minded individual, everything indeed depends on fate¡ ¡°Senior, we have understood your meaning. Please rest assured, we will do our best!¡± Fire Spirit spoke, already filled with anticipation. Li Fan nodded and said, ¡°Good. Thank you.¡± After Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning left, they headed directly towards Taiyan Holy Land. To unite against foreign enemies, many of the Xuantian Realm¡¯s power leaders were now gathered at Taiyan Holy Land. Upon their return, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord immediately weed them into the grand hall. ¡°The two goddesses have returned. How is it, does Senior Li have any directives for the current situation?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord asked solemnly. Fire Spirit nodded seriously and said, ¡°Yes, Senior Li has already foreseen the great troubles of the Xuantian Realm and moreover, to cope with the chaotic times, he has asked us to do something!¡± Upon hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both looked at Fire Spirit with tense anticipation. ¡°What is it?¡± Fire Spirit spoke word byword, ¡°Senior Li is going to take a disciple!¡± Taking a disciple! As they heard this, Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao were both taken aback, their eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°Senior Li is actually going to take a disciple. After so many people seeking apprenticeship, even a figure like Jiang Xue was rejected¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao murmured. ¡°This is clearly not just about taking a disciple, obviously, it¡¯s a move made by Senior Li whose effects in the future are unimaginable.¡± ¡°And whoever he epts as his disciple, their future prospects¡are unimaginable, at least above the Immortals!¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions wereplex as Saint Lord Lingchao spoke excitedly yet nervously, ¡°Besides this, does Senior Li have any other requirements?¡± Such an extraordinary opportunity ¡ª if possible, even he wished to be a disciple! Yuanyang Holy Lord was more direct, ¡°Do we, I, still have a chance?¡± Both Holy Lords, of nearly Immortal caliber, looked eagerly at Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit. They exchanged a nce and instantly understood each other. They¡. had still underestimated the sensation that Senior Li¡¯s recruitment of disciples would cause!!! Chapter 61 - 56 Seeking a Master 1 Chapter 56 Seeking a Master 1 Trantor: 549690339 Watching the earnest expressions of the two Saint Masters, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both woreplex looks. Even the Saint Masters themselves wanted to be apprentices. ¡°Two seniors¡ Senior Li didn¡¯t specify his requirements for disciples. He only mentioned that everything is up to fate.¡± Fire Spirit said, ¡°However, I think, perhaps, since you both are already renowned leaders in your own right, this might not be quite appropriate¡¡± Hearing this, the two Saint Masters also gave a wry smile. In fact, they were well aware in their hearts that they no longer had such a destiny. After all, even someone like Jiang Xue, who wanted to take on a master, didn¡¯t get permission from Senior Li. Instead, it was Nan Feng and Zi Ling from the Three Absolutes Holy Land who had such good fortune. ¡°Besides, Senior Li¡¯s intention is to keep a low profile and he doesn¡¯t want to make a big fuss known to all.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao exchanged nces. ¡°It seems we¡¯ll have to confide in the Saint Masters of the various Holy Lands privately.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke up, ¡°Senior Li¡¯s disciples must be true geniuses, so let¡¯s limit our search within the elite of the various sects!¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded, ¡°We don¡¯t need to notify them with too much formality, which might only arouse the curiosity of other sects and disturb Senior Li¡¯s cultivation¡ Let¡¯s spread some subtle rumors instead. If there is someone with true destiny, I believe they will seize this opportunity.¡± The others all nodded. Soon, a rumor started to circte. ¡°Hey, have you heard? It¡¯s said that there¡¯s an exceptional hermit hidden on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± ¡°What exceptional hermit? Isn¡¯t that just more idle spection?¡± ¡°They say it¡¯s true and that he¡¯s hidden in a small mountain vige with cultivation even higher than on the Immortal Path.¡± ¡°Haha, you believe such nonsense? In the Xuantian Realm, are there even any immortals? Being Almost Immortal is the peak.¡± This sparked a small flurry of discussion, but most people didn¡¯t really believe it. In the Cultivation World, countless legends always circted about reclusive experts, heaven-sent treasures, exceptional cultivation techniques, and such, but the majority were simply distortions of the truth. Each cultivator knew a basketful of simr rumors, and adding one more didn¡¯t make it any more credible. ¡°Saint Master, a rumor has emerged recently. It says that on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, there exists a being who surpasses immortals. Were one to go there and be epted as a disciple, one might find a supreme destiny¡¡± In the Luofu Holy Land, an elder was reporting to the Luofu Holy Master, ¡°Such a trivial rumor normally wouldn¡¯t be worth disturbing the Saint Master with, but there seem to be signs indicating the message originated from the two major Holy Lands of the Southern Territory¡ Therefore, I felt it necessary to report to the Saint Master.¡± However, upon hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master let out a scoff, ¡°There¡¯s no need to bother with it.¡± ¡°If there really were an exceptional hermit looking for disciples, would those two Holy Lands from the Southern Territory let such news escape?¡± At these words, the elder suddenly had an epiphany. ¡°Sect Master, on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, it is rumored there¡¯s an opportunity rted to an exceptional hermit. If a young person has the fortune, they might have the chance to be his core disciple¡¡± The same message came to the Divine Sword Sect. ¡°Hehe,¡± But the Sect Master let out a scoff and said, ¡°Only you would believe in such ghost stories.¡± ¡°The Cangli Mountain Range, such a ce is known as a forbiddennd filled with dangers. If there truly were an opportunity, Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land would have already seized it; they wouldn¡¯t leave it lying around.¡± ¡°In my view, it is more than likely someone is trying to muddle the waters, or perhaps there¡¯s some kind of horrific trap there. And the person behind this is trying to use it to weaken the seedlings of the various sects, making it easier for them to dominate, isn¡¯t it?¡± With this, he had a look of someone who had seen through everything. Everyone nodded, that could be the only reasonable exnation. In the Xuantian Realm, there was never such a thing as a free lunch. If a great opportunity really existed, it would be fought over tooth and nail; why would it be left untouched for others to discover? So, when many major forces learned about this, they consequently gave the order not to allow their elite disciples to go to the periphery of the Cangli Mountain Range. Instead, they dispatched some less important disciples to investigate. Three dayster. ¡°Damn it, what kind of lousy opportunity, it¡¯s obviously just a whimsical tale, yet they had to send me to check¡ what a load of crap¡¡± A young man was cursing as he gradually neared the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range. His name was Lu Rang, from the Divine Sword Sect, and he was a marginal outer disciple. When the Divine Sword Sect relocated to the Southern Territory, not every disciple was qualified to follow, as the Yu Kong Flying Ship and teleportation arrays were limited. As a marginal figure, the reason he was brought along was that he had a somewhat unique skill¡ªcultivating spiritual nts. For a sect to develop, it¡¯s essential to cultivate materials such as medicinal herbs, so he was fortunate to be included. However, after arriving in the Southern Territory, the Divine Sword Sect¡¯s spiritual medicines couldn¡¯t find a ce with sufficient spiritual energy for cultivation; after all, the resources here were limited, and there were far too many people. His skill suddenly became useless. Now the sect had somehow learned about a legendary supreme hermit recruiting disciples in the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range and sent him to investigate. Lu Rang knew in his heart that this was just sending him to fend for himself. He had heard too many rumors about the Cangli Mountain Range. Just recently, it was said that the demise of the Three Absolutes Holy Land had something to do with these mountains. Who knows what great terror lies within. ¡°Damn it, the Divine Sword Sect doesn¡¯t treat me as a person. I can¡¯t stay any longer. Might as well just leave¡¡± The closer Lu Rang got to Cangli Mountain Range, the more fearful he became, feeling it might be better to just leave. In fact, in the Xuantian Realm, almost all major forces had this problem-marginal disciples had a low sense of belonging, leading to weak loyalty to their sects. ¡°Hmm?¡± Suddenly, a magnificent Yu Kong Flying Ship appeared in the sky. The Yu Kong Flying Ship was lowering its altitude steadily, descending, which was why it came into view. Before long, the Yu Kong Flying Shipnded, and Lu Rang saw the Howling True Dragon Banner fluttering atop it! ¡°Howling True Dragon¡ Is, is this someone from the Sacred Dragon Imperial Family?!¡± Lu Rang was shocked. The Sacred Dragon Imperial Family was originally a Holy Land-ranked force in Central Province, ruling over its vast territories. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this force toe to the Southern Territory¡ What are they doing here?¡± Confusion was written all over Lu Rang¡¯s face. By this time, the group had already stowed the Yu Kong Flying Ship. Lu Rang looked and saw a young man in a bright yellow robe, apanied by four guards wielding swords. The young man in the yellow robe turned to look at Lu Rang and said, ¡°I am Long Zixuan of the Saint Dragon Dynasty. May I ask if you are from the Dugu Family?¡± Lu Rang paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, ¡°I am not from the Dugu Family. I am an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect from the Northern Region. My name is Lu Rang¡¡± Hearing this, Long Zixuan¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of slight disappointment. He had been flying when he saw someone down below carrying a sword, and he had thought it was a Sword Cultivator from the Dugu Family, so he hadnded to greet them. After all, the might of the Dugu Family was well-known throughout the entire Xuantian Realm; they had produced not just one, but several Sword Immortals, and had Almost Immortals in each generation! To have thepany of a Sword Cultivator from the Dugu Family would make the journey much safer. But to his surprise, it was only someone from the Divine Sword Sect, and moreover, just an outer disciple¡ However, although the situation was less than ideal, it was certainly better than nothing. As someone who was not well-regarded in the dynasty and had only four not-so-powerful guards, having one more person meant more strength. So he said, ¡°Brother Lu Rang, may I ask if you¡¯re here for the legendary superior being said to be taking disciples in this ce?¡± Lu Rang nodded and said, ¡°Yes¡ but where can there be any such person here? I¡¯ve heard it¡¯s a ce of terror. Only those who are not well-regarded get sent here to be cannon fodder¡¡± Stopping mid-sentence, he quickly closed his mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, ¡°Brother Long, I mean myself.¡± But Long Zixuan just gave a wry smile and said, ¡°Brother Lu speaks inly what¡¯s true. Wiry would I mind?¡± ¡ªAlthough he was a legitimate imperial prince, he was born with an iplete Dragon Soul, making cultivation difficult, thus beingbeled useless in the Imperial Dynasty. Many people wished he would just die. This time, wasn¡¯t it just those same people going with the flow? Saying that they let him seek a great fortune, but the intent was all too obvious. Even the guards they provided were only at the Golden Core Realm. In the current Southern Territory, such strength was no different from sending him to his death. ¡°Ahem,¡± Lu Rang coughed, changing the subject, and said, ¡°Brother Long, do you also think there¡¯s no superior being here?¡± Long Zixuan shook his head and said, ¡°Not necessarily. Anything is possible.¡± ¡°Brother Lu, how about we travel together? Approaching the outskirts of Cangli Mountain Range, danger abounds. One more person means more strength.¡± He suggested. Hearing this, Lu Rang immediately nodded with joy and said, ¡°Sure!¡± Being a worthless one at the Foundation Building Realm, how could he nottch onto a big thigh when the opportunity arose? Long Zixuan smiled and said, ¡°Then let¡¯s be on our way.¡± They continued to advance. Before long, they saw the Cangli Mountain Range, which had copsed long ago. ¡°My goodness¡ What on earth happened to this Cangli Mountain Range? It is said to be a forbidden area, but looking at it now, it seems to be thoroughly ruined¡¡± The mountain range had copsed, and the wholend seemed extremely chaotic. It was as if it had suffered a terrible disaster. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look ahead.¡± Long Zixuan took the lead and delved deeper in. Now that they were here, there was no reason to turn back. As they ventured deeper, Lu Rang suddenly pointed to something in the distance with shock and said, ¡°Brother Long, look, what is that?¡± Long Zixuan looked up to see that there was actually a small mountain vige ahead! That vige was nestled amidst the copsed mountains, serene as water, yet untouched and undamaged! It was like a Pure Land! Situated on the cracked earth, it was strikingly conspicuous. ¡°This¡ what Holy Land is this?¡± Long Zixuan eximed in shock! Chapter 62 - 57 Elder Zhao? A Master? ! Chapter 57 Elder Zhao? A Master? ! Trantor: 549690339 | A group of people looked at the small mountain vige ahead with great surprise. Although it looked the same as any ordinary mountain vige,pared to the background behind it, it seemed far too extraordinary. What kind of vige could remain intact through a disaster that caused the entire Cangli Mountain Range to copse? This alone signified something extraordinary! ¡°This ce must be extraordinary! To have survived such a catastrophe, there must be something exceptional in it!¡± A glimmer of hope shone in Long Zi Xuan¡¯s eyes! Could it be that heaven hadn¡¯t closed all paths? Here, might there actually be some fortunate opportunity waiting for him? He was about to get up. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± However, Lu Rang stopped him and said, ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Long Zi Xuan asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Lu Rang pointed to the small mountain vige and said, ¡°We know nothing about the depth of this mountain vige, how can we just rashly barge in? Don¡¯t forget, the Cangli Mountain Range is a forbidden territory!¡± ¡°Even the forbidden territory has been destroyed, yet this ce remains unscathed. What does that mean? It means this is the forbidden of the forbidden. Do you understand?¡± There was urgency on his face. This ce was obviously not somewhere easy to enter. It could well be a huge trap! He had let his imagination run wild to the utmost. But Long Zi Xuan shook his head, his eyes full of determination, and his somewhat pale face was filled with an unstoppable resolve. ¡°Brother Lu, your concerns are valid, and so we part ways here.¡± ¡°You have many choices and can avoid entering, but I have nowhere to go.¡± ¡°To tell you the truth, even though I am a prince of the Imperial Dynasty, I am no different from a cripple, and rather than existing in this world to face disdain, mockery, and oppression, I would rather risk my life!¡± ¡°Even if it is a dead end, I am not afraid to be buried there!¡± He looked at Lu Rang and smiled, ¡°If there really is any opportunity, I will inform Brother Lu in due time.¡± After speaking, he walked straight towards the small mountain vige, not looking back! Seeing him walk towards the mountain vige, his four guards looked at each other in dismay. ¡°The Empressmanded us to follow him, but she didn¡¯t tell us to follow him to our deaths!¡± One of the guards spoke up in a low voice. ¡°Right, this ce is mysterious and unpredictable. With the notorious reputation of the Cangli Mountain Range, we cannot enter recklessly. Let¡¯s stop here. We can go back and report this.¡± ¡°Following him to our deaths is not worth it!¡± For example, the four guards directly turned around and left,pletely ignoring Long Zi Xuan! Witnessing this scene, Lu Rang was shocked; damn, this Long Zi Xuan, despite being a prince, lived a life worse than a beggar¡¯s! Suddenly, he understood why Long Zi Xuan was desperately trying to get inside. It was better to die! ¡°Damn it¡ This young master really doesn¡¯t want to court death!¡± ¡°Long Zi Xuan, you owe me a life!¡± Lu Rang gritted his teeth and rushed over! He ran quickly and soon caught up with Long Zi Xuan. ¡°Why did youe, Brother Lu?¡± Long Zi Xuan asked with some surprise. Lu Rang, with an unpleasant expression, said, ¡°You¡¯re not the only one with no way out. If I fled or went back to the Sect Gate, it would most likely be a death sentence anyway.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s worth it to see what exists in the forbidden territory before we die!¡± The two then walked shoulder to shoulder into the small mountain vige. Upon entering the vige, everything they saw was quite ordinary. Just like a mortal vige. ¡°This ce seems to have nothing out of the ordinary, right?¡± Lu Rang was puzzled. ¡°It can¡¯t be.¡± Long Zi Xuan shook his head and said, ¡°The more it seems this way, the more it proves the extraordinariness of this ce. Brother Lu, think about it, do you believe a mortal vige could have survived such a catastrophe?¡± Lu Rang nodded, ¡°That¡¯s a reasonable point!¡± They continued to walk along the road inside the vige. ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s something peculiar about this ditch!¡± Suddenly, Long Zi Xuan squatted beside a water ditch. The clear water in the ditch babbled and flowed, and as it passed a certain section, a misty vapor was emitted. Long Zi Xuan was greedily inhaling the vapor emanating from the water ditch! ¡°It¡¯s just a ditch, what¡¯s so surprising about that?¡± Lu Rang didn¡¯t understand and was even more astounded by Long Zi Xuan¡¯s behavior. Could it be that Long Zi Xuan was not in his right mind? He approached, but Long Zi Xuan pulled him down to squat and said, ¡°Smell it!¡± Lu Rang instinctively sniffed it. ¡°Holy shit!¡± Lu Rang was immediately shocked. Just one breath seemed immensely invigorating! The vapor cleared his mind as if all the confusion in his brain had been dispelled at that moment. ¡°This vapor¡ contains spiritual energy!¡± Lu Rang said in amazement. ¡°Right!¡± Long Zi Xuan nodded. He couldn¡¯t help but lean down, scooped up some water, and drank it! ¡°Refreshing!¡± Long Zi Xuan praised loudly; the water contained a unique essence. Although it wasn¡¯t direct spiritual energy, it made his whole body feelfortable. ¡°I¡¯ll have a taste, too!¡± Lu Rang couldn¡¯t hold back any longer, he was even rougher, bowing his head to submerge his mouth in the water, and drank arge gulp! ¡°If this water is used to cultivate Spiritual Medicine, it surely would work wonders, probably bringing about extraordinary medicine!¡± He gave a direct appraisal, his eyes burning with fervor. As an expert in cultivating Spiritual Medicine, he was all too familiar with this, so much so that he wished he could relocate the entire ditch! If the Divine Sword Sect had such a ditch, there would never be worries about finding a ce to grow Spiritual Medicine! ¡°This small mountain vige actually has such Holy Water!¡± Long Zixuan also praised, his anticipation growing even more. ¡°Hey, what are you doing? Why are you drinking water from a ditch?!¡± At that moment, a voice came through. Turning their heads, they saw an elder passing by on the road, who happened to be Elder Zhao from the vige. Elder Zhao was leaning on a walking stick, his face full of puzzlement, saying, ¡°Are you visitors from outside? Must be tired from walking, eh? But you can¡¯t drink this water, it¡¯s unclean, people upstream are growing vegetables, they often use farm manure.¡± Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang both turned green. Good lord, farm manure? ¡°Young man, you really should be more careful. Come on, follow me to my house.¡± Elder Zhao, being kind-hearted, gestured for the two to follow him. ¡°Brother Long?¡± Lu Rang was somewhat apprehensive. This was no ordinary small mountain vige, and this elderly man suddenly appeared; who knew if he was friend or foe? However, Long Zixuan was greatly shaken. He had seen the Elder¡¯s walking stick and his pupils shrank! He couldn¡¯t discern the material of the walking stick, but he saw a faint dragon pattern carved on it, which was just for decor. Yet, that dragon pattern made him feel that the stick was none other than a resting dragon! The Dragon Soul within him even started to tremble. This was an extraordinary person. He immediately took a deep breath and said, ¡°As the eldermands, we dare not disobey!¡± Elder Zhao smiled and turned to walk toward his nearby home. The two followed. ¡°Brother Long, this old man doesn¡¯t know the situation¡¡± Lu Rang was somewhat perplexed. ¡°Don¡¯t speak!¡± Long Zixuan sent a message directly to him, saying, ¡°This elder is beyond imagination. The walking stick in his hand, it seems to be of a higher grade than even the Quasi-Immortal Artifacts of my Holy Ground¡ This elder must be the reclusive master from the legends, who seeks apprentices!¡± On hearing this, Lu Rang was also instantly shocked. He immediately became reverent and solemn. It wasn¡¯t long before Elder Zhao arrived home. ¡°The water over there isn¡¯t clean. Here, each of you have adle to quench your thirst, then pick some fruits on the way to satisfy your hunger before continuing on your journey. Within ten miles, you won¡¯t find another ce to rest and eat!¡± Elder Zhao uncovered the water jar and scooped up adle of water, handing it to Long Zixuan. Long Zixuan took thedle subconsciously, but when he grasped it, his whole person was shocked. He clearly felt that what was in his hand¡ was not adle, but a dragon bone, a dragon soaring through the clouds! Looking down, he saw that even the woodendle was carved with a dragon! Yet another artifact surpassing Quasi-Immortal items! Just used¡ for drinking water? How could he not be shocked? He could hardly drink the water! At his side, Lu Rang was standing there dumbfounded, but not because of thedle but because he saw two trees in Elder Zhao¡¯s courtyard! One was a date tree, the other also a date tree. On the two date trees, clusters of fiery red dates shone like translucent agate, bright and dripping with appeal, their brimming Spiritual Energy almost bursting forth, visible to the naked eye! ¡°Top-grade Spiritual Medicine¡ no, superior-grade, superior-grade Spiritual Medicine!? Or even above that?!¡± He muttered to himself, his heart filled with awe and incredulity! The Divine Sword Sect, as a Quasi-Saint Holy Ground Sect, had superior-grade as its strongest level of Spiritual Medicine! It was a treasured orchid, extremely precious in the Sect, protected by a Supreme, and he had only seen it from afar. But these two date trees, either one was more dazzling and more radiant than the Sect¡¯s treasured orchid! Their grade was even higher! Unimaginable! Seeing the two of them stupefied, Elder Zhao was somewhat perplexed, asking, ¡°Why are you both so dumbstruck?¡± At this moment, Long Zixuan could not hold back any longer. He immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, holding the waterdle with a face full of devotion, and said, ¡°Elder, please ept me as your disciple!¡± He was now certain that this elder before him was indeed the legendary reclusive expert, an unimaginable existence! Moreover, he hade across two artifacts rted to dragons in session, clearly, this was destiny! This was his own opportunity for immortal fate, he had to seize it! At that same moment, with another thud, Lu Rang also knelt on the ground, excitedly saying, ¡°Elder, please take me as your disciple as well!¡± The two date trees had thoroughly conquered him! In his life, what he loved most was cultivating Spiritual Medicine; when harvesting Spiritual Medicine, he would experience an immense sense of fulfillment. And now, should he be allowed to care for these two unimaginably superior-grade Spiritual Medicines, he would be willing to give everything! But Elder Zhao, upon seeing this, was taken aback. After a moment of shock, he came back to his senses and chuckled, ¡± What are you doing in our little mountain vige, seeking a master, eh?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve certainlye to the right ce.¡± On hearing this, both Lu Rang and Long Zixuan became even more excited, did this mean that the elder agreed to ept them as his disciples? But Elder Zhao then said, ¡°However, you¡¯ve got the wrong person if you¡¯re looking for a master. It¡¯s not me who¡¯s taking disciples.¡± On hearing this, Long Zixuan was taken aback and asked, ¡°Elder¡ it¡¯s not you?¡± Elder Zhao nodded and said, ¡°What capability do I have to take disciples¡ The person taking disciples is Little Li.¡± Little Li! Chapter 63 - 58 The True Expert_1 Chapter 58 The True Expert_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Upon hearing this, both Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were exceptionally surprised. Was this enigmatic old man before them not the legendary master from the tales? But¡ someone else? Little Li? Moreover, the senior¡¯s words suggested a tone of respect towards this ¡°Little Li.¡± ¡°Little¡ Little Li?¡± Long Zixuan spoke up. ¡°Heh.yes, Little Li,¡± Elder Zhao said with a smile, ¡°Little Li is all-powerful; he is a master of eighteen kinds of martial arts. Without his help, my old bones would probably be long gone.¡± In fact, many of the tools in Elder Zhao¡¯s home were crafted with the help of Li Fan, including the dragon head cane, waterdles, and even the fruit trees were nted by Li Fan himself. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were instantly astounded! In their minds, the strength of the old man before them was inconceivable; any object could be an immortal artifact, and any tree could be a holy tree, surely a peerless master. But, this peerless master was singing the praises of another person? Even saying that without that ¡°Little Li,¡± he himself might not have survived. How terrifying must that individual be? Unimaginable indeed! ¡°You guys, if you can learn even a hint or trace from Little Li, it would be enough for you to benefit for a lifetime,¡± Elder Zhao said with a smile, ¡°Get up, go find Little Li now!¡± Both of them got up, exchanged nces, and the excitement in their eyes was evident. ¡°Thank you for your guidance, senior, thank you for your guidance!¡± They thanked him profusely, filled with immense gratitude! Elder Zhao then gave them directions to Li Fan¡¯s small courtyard and sent them on their way. After leaving Elder Zhao¡¯s home, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang struggled to contain their excitement and anticipation. This is truly a great opportunity¡ a grand opportunity indeed!¡± Lu Rang couldn¡¯t help but speak out, his joy unmistakable. Originally thinking that this trip was likely a march to their doom, they had not anticipated such good fortune. ¡°The senior we just met must be at least an Immortal in terms of cultivation level!¡± Long Zixuan stated with certainty, ¡°This is an Immortal pointing us in the right direction, guiding our future path!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s hurry, before people from the outside world arrive, let¡¯s haste and seek apprenticeship with Senior Li!¡± Lu Rang could no longer contain himself. Both of them made their way towards Li Fan¡¯s small courtyard with quick steps. Along the way, they were shocked by the things they encountered. A farmer weeding the fields held a hoe that surpassed quasi-immortal artifacts! A water-carrying olddy wielded a shoulder-pole with terrifying power! Even the marbles that a few children were ying with were infused with unimaginable spiritual essence! The further they walked, the more dumbstruck they became. ¡°Good grief¡ what sort of treasure trove is this ce? Just anybody could pull out an object transcending quasi-immortal artifacts; how is anyone supposed topete¡¡± Lu Rang muttered, utterly astonished to the point of numbness! ¡°Compared to this ce, what are holynd families but mere ants!¡± Long Zixuan took in a deep breath. Soon after, following the path Elder Zhao had indicated, they arrived at the front of Li Fan¡¯s small courtyard. ¡°Wu¡¯erXianting!¡± The four characters caught their eyes. ¡°These four characters¡ they give me an indescribable feeling¡ as if I want to gaze at them endlessly!¡± Lu Rang spoke. ¡°I am also unable to detect the profundity within, but these four characters, they are even more terrifying than the words left behind by an ancestral Immortal of my Imperial Dynasty!¡± Long Zixuan said with a grave tone. Due to their shallow level of cultivation, they couldn¡¯t fully perceive what was within the four characters, but still, they were convinced they were in the right ce. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let us meet Senior Li!¡± With that, Long Zixuan stepped forward and knocked on the door with solemnity. Shortly after, the door opened to reveal a dazzling young girl, dressed in a delicate violet gown, radiant to the extreme. ¡°Who are you? What do you want?¡± Zi Ling inquired, gazing at the two visitors. Long Zixuan merely took one nce at Zi Ling, and shock already filled his heart because the aura of the young girl in front of him was terrifyingly powerful, on par with Venerables within the Imperial Dynasty! This girl was only around ten years old, yet she already possessed the cultivation level of the Integration Realm? How was that possible! Lu Rang then said, ¡°I am Lu Rang from the Divine Sword Sect, and this is Long Zixuan from the Saint Dragon Dynasty. We are¡ here to seek mentorship from Senior Li!¡± He looked at Zi Ling with hopeful eyes. Long Zixuan also came to his senses and said, ¡°We have heard that Senior Li is here to ept disciples and havee from afar to join, hoping to meet Senior Li in person!¡± Upon hearing this, Zi Ling looked at the two men with a slightly surprised expression. The Divine Sword Sect, the Saint Dragon Dynasty! These two sects were not to be taken lightly in the entire Xuantian Realm, so she was aware of them. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect people toe so soon.¡± Zi Ling spoke then said, ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll go and inform my master.¡± After saying that, she turned and left. ¡°Is this girl a disciple of that senior?¡± Lu Rang was surprised. ¡°This senior must truly be an exalted figure. This girl, of the same age as us, has already achieved the strength of the Venerable Realm!¡± ¡°We must approach with respect!¡± Long Zixuan spoke solemnly. Hearing this, Lu Rang was even more dumbfounded. This girl is a Venerable? Isn¡¯t that terrifying? In his mind, without exception, Venerables were all undying old figures! Meanwhile, at that moment. Zi Ling returned to the room where Li Fan was reading a book. ¡°Master, two young people havee outside, saying they wish to be your disciples.¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan put down his book, showing some surprise. Are there really people willing toe? It seems that the disasters in the outside world are quite serious; otherwise, who would want to learn these useless things I teach¡ ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s take a look.¡± Li Fan walked out into the courtyard, followed by Zi Ling. ¡°My master has permitted you toe in.¡± Zi Ling spoke. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, who were waiting, were instantly overjoyed! The senior has summoned them! They immediately stepped into the courtyard. The moment they entered the courtyard! ¡°My Dragon Soul is trembling, awakening¡ There seems to be something extraordinary here, attracting my Dragon Soul!¡± Long Zixuan was utterly astounded! As a prince of the Imperial Dynasty, the Dynasty had tried various methods to heal his Dragon Soul, but to no effect. Now, merely by stepping into this yard, his fragmented Dragon Soul had begun to awaken automatically, as if it was eagerly searching for something! There must be an unparalleled opportunity here! He became incredibly excited, as if some force was drawing his gaze towards the pond in the courtyard, yet there was nothing but calm water there. Next to him, Lu Rang was even more exaggerated! As soon as Lu Rang entered the courtyard, he couldn¡¯t help but look towards the peach tree in the yard. At this moment, his gaze waspletely captivated by that tree. The entire Pantao Tree, exuding an inexplicable aura of the Immortal Path, was lush and verdant, with ripe, bright red Pan Peaches that seemed to resonate, as if waves of immortal essence were rippling around them! What kind of treasure tree is this? What level? Compared to this tree, he felt like the superior Spiritual Medicines in his sect might as well be used to feed pigs, no, they weren¡¯t even worthy of that! Even the two date trees he had previously seen in Second Elder Zhao¡¯s yard pale inparison to the peach tree here. At that moment, he believedpletely that the master of this ce was even more formidable and terrifying than Elder Zhao! While the two stood there stupefied, as if petrified, Li Fan also nced at them and smiled, asking: ¡°You two, why do you look so bewildered?¡± Chapter 64 - 59 Planting Crops? Raising Fish?_1 Chapter 59 nting Crops? Raising Fish?_1 Trantor: 549690339 | ¡°You two, why are you staring nkly?¡± Li Fan asked with a smile. Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan directly fell to his knees with a thud, and proceeded to kowtow! Lu Rang was not to be outdone and immediately knelt down as well. The two of them started to kowtow as soon as they met! ¡°There¡¯s no need for that; get up quickly.¡± Li Fan shook his head. As soon as Li Fan spoke, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang both felt an inexplicable force that made them stand up involuntarily. ¡°Is this the legendary power of ¡®the word follows thew¡¯?¡± Long Zixuan was even more deeply shaken as he regarded the young man before him, who was calm and casual, yet exuded a transcendent, otherworldly air. This person was indeed the legendary master! He was absolutely certain. Moreover, he hade to understand in his heart that although the senior appeared quite young, he was definitely a terrifying figure who had existed for countless years in the river of history. To such a person, it could almost be said that they were immortal! Taking a deep breath, he said, ¡°Senior Li, please take us two as your disciples!¡± Lu Rang was also quick to speak up, ¡°Please take us as your disciples, senior!¡± So they really came to seek apprenticeship! Li Fan immediately smiled, considering it a good start to have two disciples at once. But taking disciples is not something to be done lightly. Better to have none than to have a bad fit! He needed to get to know them better first. ¡°Why do you two wish to take me as your master?¡± Li Fan inquired. Long Zixuan¡¯s face was full of sincerity as he said, ¡°Senior, although I was born into a family that is passable, I am not favored within the n, and this time I was forced toe to the Cangli Mountain Range¡ I thought I was surely going to die, but unexpectedly, I strayed into the ce where the senior secluded himself!¡± ¡°I only want to follow by the senior¡¯s side and listen to his teachings. Please ept me, senior, and I will strive to improve!¡± Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but nod; here was another unlucky child. The Cangli Mountain Range had long been destroyed, and he was pitiful to be pushed by his family toe here. Lu Rang, on the other hand, was fervent as he looked at Li Fan and said, ¡°Senior, I¡ I want to stay by your side to learn the art of nting and cultivation! In my whole life, I love nothing more but to nt, and if one day, I could grow such a peach tree, I would die content!¡± nting was his only passion in life! nting all kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual trees, and more! In nting, he found the fulfillment of his life. In this path, he was like a devout believer! Hearing this, Li Fan nodded again, finding both of them quite eptable. ¡°What is destined will find its way; since you two havee here, then stay.¡± Li Fan said with a smile. Upon hearing this, both men were ecstatic. This senior! He had epted them! ¡°Heaven, am I not hearing things? Am I not hearing things?!¡± Lu Rang hardly dared believe this was true. ¡°We have really seeded in bing disciples¡ seeded in bing disciples!¡± Long Zixuan felt his body tremble slightly! At that moment, he wanted badly to howl to the heavens, to vent all the frustration and bitterness of his past twenty-odd years. In the imperial dynasty, he had felt oppressed, mocked, and suppressed, and experienced all manners of bitterness. This time, he hade here resigned to death, yet unexpectedly, he had found such good fortune! Had heaven finally opened its eyes? Finally listened to his unwillingness to ept fate? He was overwhelmingly moved. ¡°Alright,e over and sit down; don¡¯t be too formal.¡± Li Fan said with a smile. They both went over and, as instructed by Li Fan, sat down. Nan Feng had already carried over the tea and handed each of them a cup. ¡°Having traveled all the way here, you must be tired. Have some tea to quench your thirst,¡± Li Fan spoke amiably. Both of them picked up their cups of tea. ¡°Hm?¡± A look of shock flickered through Long Zixuan¡¯s eyes. As the tea entered his mouth, he distinctly felt his Spirit tform be exceptionally clear in an instant, and every cell in his body became more active. The fragmented Dragon Soul within him was now like parchednd blessed with a refreshing rain, and it seemed to show signs of growth. It was in that instant his perception and acuity suddenly increased, with a moment¡¯s intuition. He suddenly understood¡ªthe pond in the small courtyard was precisely where he needed to go! Moreover, just from a sip of this tea, his cultivation level that had struggled to progress, had actually broken through two Quintuple Heavens, advancing from the Golden Core Realm to finally achieving Nascent Soul! He¡ had been stuck at the shackles of the Golden Core Realm for years! Now, he had broken through it, all because of a cup of tea¡ He felt as if he were dreaming. Meanwhile, Lu Rang, too, felt his mind bing clear in an instant, refreshed and invigorated as though he had just awoken from a profound sleep! In a trance, he felt the Peach Tree emitting Myriad Dao of fairy lights, terrifyingly like a Supreme existence! ¡°Heavens, how did Senior Li ever cultivate such a treasured tree¡¡± His anticipation grew even more! Simrly, his advancement in cultivation level was even more exaggerated! He shot up directly from the Foundation Establishment Third Layer to the Golden Core Fifth Layer! Clearly, his realm was too low, so there was enormous room for improvement. ¡°Earlier, I heard from the two of you, Lu Rang, that you wish to learn the arts of agriculture and fish farming, is that right?¡± Li Fan asked at the moment. Lu Rang nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, saying, ¡°Yes, Predecessor¡ no, Master, I wish to learn the arts of agriculture and fish farming. It is my life¡¯s pursuit!¡± A life¡¯s pursuit to be a farmer tending to thend¡ªLi Fan did not even know how toment on such an aspiration. However, he could not dampen his spirits either; after all, if the other wanted to learn something high-end, he would not have been able to teach him well. ¡°Alright, since that is the case, your master will teach you the arts of agriculture and fish farming.¡± Li Fan agreed immediately. Anyway, having one disciple was better than none, and given the turbulent world outside, farming in this small mountain vige was a kind of happiness, so it wasn¡¯t a bad deal for Lu Rang. Lu Rang was instantly overjoyed! ¡°Thankyou, thank you, Master, thank you, Master!¡± Lu Rang was so delighted he almost jumped! Damn, this was the right choice, the right choice. At that moment, if the elders of his Sect Gate were there, he really would have wanted to express his gratitude to them! Li Fan smiled slightly, turning toward Long Zixuan, ¡°Zi Xuan, how about you?¡± Long Zixuan took a deep breath, ¡°Master, I wish to go to the pond over there!¡± He pointed at the pond in the small courtyard. Li Fan understood instantly and smiled, ¡°It seems you wish to learn the art of fish farming. Good, your master will also teach you this skill.¡± One to help him with farming, and the other to help him with fish farming. Not bad at all. Hearing this, Long Zixuan stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Fan, ¡°Thank you, Master. This disciple will definitely learn diligently!¡± ¡°Good, you two follow me. I will teach you the arts of agriculture and fish farming in turn!¡± Li Fan stood up. The two of them followed closely behind him. ¡°Nan Feng, bring me my hoe.¡± Li Fan called out. Nan Feng obediently brought over a hoe, and both Long Zixuan and Lu Rang¡¯s eyes lit up at the sight of it! A reddish-brown wooden handlebined with an iron hoe, dark as water; together, they seemed to be engrained with the essence of Dao. Just having it before their eyes made them feel a sense of oppression! ¡°Far beyond a Quasi-Immortal Artifact!¡± Long Zixuan was stunned. The grade of this hoe surpassed all the various tools they had seen throughout the vige! ¡°Come, let¡¯s go to the vegetable garden. Your master will first teach Lu Rang how to farm.¡± Li Fan shouldered the hoe and headed for the vegetable garden. Hearing that Li Fan would personally farm, Zi Ling and Nan Feng couldn¡¯t help but follow along. They were learning the art of elegance from Li Fan and were all very curious about how their master farmed! When they arrived at the edge of the vegetable garden, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were both dumbfounded once again. Master, is this what you call¡ a vegetable garden?!!! Chapter 65 - 60 Planting Holy Medicine, Raising True Dragon_1 Chapter 60 nting Holy Medicine, Raising True Dragon_1 Trantor: 549690339 Seeing the ¡°vegetable garden¡± in front of them, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were both shocked, staring speechlessly. The ¡°vegetable garden¡± was nted with a myriad of vegetables, such as cabbages, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more¡ But those were by no means ordinary vegetables! A cabbage was resplendent all over, with the aura of Dao flowing through it, as if each leaf were a vast and boundless world! A tomato nt bore clusters of fruit, each one like a crimson star, containing terrifying power, making one almost afraid to look directly at them. A pile of green beans, each one like some mysterious weapon, exuding an extremely sharp aura; a slight breeze seemed capable of slicing through the entire world. ¡°Heavens¡ what ce is this? What kind of person is our master?¡± Long Zixuan murmured! Any single nt from this ¡°vegetable garden¡± would cause a frenzied scramble throughout the whole Xuantian Realm if it ended up in the outside world, likely plunging thend into chaos. ¡°I¡¯m going to die, ah I¡¯m dead!¡± Lu Rang¡¯s eyes were wide with fervor, zing to the extreme. What kind of mortal bliss is this?! To actually have the chance to tend so many divine objects! He didn¡¯t even dare to guess their grade anymore. Unimaginable! ¡°Hehe, how is it? Isn¡¯t the vegetable garden my master tends quite impressive? Work hard, and tonight you¡¯ll get to eat the vegetables from here.¡± At this time, the puckish Zi Ling spoke up with a smile. She still remembered the expression she and Nan Feng had when they first saw this vegetable garden. They were absolutely bbergasted. But,ter on, they had gotten used to it. After all, they ate from the vegetables in the garden every day¡ numb, truly numb. Hearing this, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were even more incredulous, saying, ¡°Sister, are you saying, are you saying we can eat these for dinner?!¡± The two were utterly stunned! ¡°Yes, eat whatever you want.¡± Zi Ling said with a smile, suddenly moving forward to pluck a few tomatoes, ¡°Master, how about we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight? Li Fan smiled and replied, ¡°Sure, you should also learn the art of cooking with your Sister Nan Feng.¡± ¡°Yes, Master! I¡¯m off to the kitchen!¡± Zi Ling said as she bounced away. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were left standing there stupefied, this was for real? Nan Feng also smiled and said, ¡°Disciples, no need to be amazed. Our master knows everything; all of this is quite ordinary for him. Upon hearing this, both took a deep breath and exchanged looks, their eyes swiftly filling with endless anticipation. Anticipation for dinner! Meals made from Holy Medicine¡ too incredible to even think about! ¡°All right, Lu Rang, if you want to learn the Cultivation and Rearing Path, the first step is to learn how to loosen the soil.¡± ¡± Don¡¯t think that loosening soil is simple, though anyone can do it, to bring ? ¡°Three Lives Soil¡± to just the right looseness also requires constant practice.¡± As he spoke, Li Fan gripped the hoe, suddenly lifted it, and then brought it down, embedding it into the soil! The three onlookers all changed their expressions. They clearly saw that the moment Li Fan lifted the hoe, it seemed like the heavens nearly copsed, the Star River trembling! But when the hoe hit the ground, it was as if lifting it was effortless, and though endowed with endless power, it embedded into the soil without harming a single growing vegetable sprout! ¡°Learning to loosen the soil and cultivate thend is only the first step in the art of nting and rearing, yet it is the most fundamental one. All nts rely on thend, and the condition you bring the soil to decides the level of crops you can grow.¡± ¡°Apart from loosening the soil and cultivating, watering and fertilizing, managing and caring, none can be neglected. Though they seem simple, they too contain profound principles.¡± After Li Fan finished speaking, Lu Rang fell into deep thoughts! To him, Li Fan¡¯s words were like the enlightening sound of the Supreme Dao, piercing through all darkness, revealing an unseen vast world! The single hoeing motion Li Fan had just performed was deeply engraved in his mind, impossible to dispel, turning over and over again! ¡°My master¡¯s hoeing has opened up the Supreme Dao for this disciple! Lu Rang deeply bowed and said, ¡°Disciple understands, and I shall strive to learn and aspire to set foot on the Cultivation and Rearing Path as soon as I can!¡± Li Fan nodded and said, ¡°Come, it¡¯s yours! From now on, this hoe is entrusted to you.¡± With that, he handed the hoe to Lu Rang. Seeing this, Lu Rang trembled even more. This hoe was absolutely something that surpassed an Immortal Artifact. Could he truly use such a treasure for farming? He felt so fortunate he was nearly fainting from happiness. Nan Feng saw this and smiled, knowing that Lu Rang had obtained a great opportunity. Expectation glittered in Long Zixuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to the pond.¡± Li Fan looked towards Long Zixuan, and then strode toward the pond. Long Zixuan followed closely behind, with Sister NanFeng trailing after, and even Lu Rang, full of curiosity, wanted to know what Dao Li Fan would impart to Long Zi Xuan, so he hastened to follow. They arrived at the pond¡¯s edge. Merely approaching it, Long Zixuan felt the shattered Dragon Soul within him dancing wildly, leaping joyfully, reawakening! His heart swelled with anticipation! ¡°In this pond, your master has reared some koi. Rearing fish is also a delicate task that can cultivate one¡¯s disposition. If you learn to observe the koi, you will find a different kind of pleasure.¡± Li Fan picked up a bowl of feed and said, ¡°In truth, learning to feed the fish is enough.¡± After finishing his words, he casually grabbed a handful and threw it into the pond. The several dozen goldfish in the pond instantly swam towards the thrown feed! In an instant, everyone seemed spellbound! In their eyes, they clearly saw the pond transform into a boundless ocean! Li Fan appeared as a deity from the heavenly firmament, casually tossing down stars into the vast sea. In the depths of the sea, dragon roars shook the heavens, as several red-gold Divine Dragons rushed towards those stars, devouring, assimting, and emitting terrifying power! In a fleeting moment, the feed was consumed, and the pond became tranquil again. ¡°The creatures your teacher rears in this pond are indeed divine¡¡± Murmuring to herself, Sister NanFeng realized that she had never paid attention when Li Fan was feeding the fish. Only now did she discover that the koi in the pond were such horrific, shocking behemoths! She even felt that if it weren¡¯t for Li Fan¡¯s presence, just a glimpse of that truth would have been enough to crush them alive with the overwhelming shock of peering into a Supreme mystery! With this thought, she couldn¡¯t help but nce at Long Zi Xuan. Long Zi Xuan¡¯s face was utterly stunned; he stared nkly at the pond, his body shaking with excitement! He finally understood why he had felt something upon entering this courtyard, why the shattered Dragon Soul within him had been so restless and eager! Now he fully understood. What was being reared in this pond¡ was a pond full of True Dragons! Ancient True Dragons! Chapter 66 - 61: The Life of a Superior Person 1 Chapter 61: The Life of a Superior Person 1 Trantor: 549690339 A pool of True Dragons! Long Zixuan was at a loss for words. Why were they, the Saint Dragon Dynasty, able to be a force at the level of a Holy Land? Because one of their Imperial Family¡¯s ancient ancestors once had a brief glimpse of a Giant Dragon¡¯s distant shadow, which led to enlightenment and the creation of the Dragon Soul Decision! Through the Dragon Soul Decision, one could stimte the bloodline within the body, achieve a Dragon Soul, and thus possess a degree of the Giant Dragon¡¯s strength to some extent, esteemed as an invincible art in the Xuantian Realm. He had read the ssics and knew that the dragon shadow seen by the ancient ancestor was not a pure True Dragon, but merely a descendant of the True Dragon. Yet, a mere glimpse of a mixed-blood descendant was enough to establish a Holy Land. Now, what he faced was a pool of True Dragons! If the people of the Saint Dragon Dynasty knew that there was a pool of True Dragons here, they would probably give everything just to have a glimpse. In the future, he could sit by this pond every day, observing True Dragons and learning from the great dao of True Dragons¡ What kind of opportunity was this? The heavens have opened their eyes! Coming back to his senses, he suddenly discovered that the Dragon Soul within him was evolving and growing continuously at this very moment, about to be aplete Dragon Soul! Heavens! The ipleteness of the Dragon Soul within him had caused him to endure much hardship and disdain, but now, just by having a glimpse, the Dragon Soul was fully restored. And it was still growing. He couldn¡¯t help but directly kneel on the ground, saying, ¡°Thank you, mentor, thank you, mentor!¡± He prostrated himself! To him, this was a grace of rebirth. Li Fan, however, simply smiled. These young people were really too polite. It seems they really had a tough life outside, so after getting the chance to continue living in this small courtyard, they were very content. ¡°There¡¯s no need for such courtesy, please get up. You¡¯ll be in charge of the bait from nowon.¡± Li Fan handed the bait bowl to Long Zixuan. Long Zixuan immediately got up and nodded deeply. ¡°Alright, your mentor won¡¯t say much more, you all start practicing.¡± Li Fan then walked over to the Peach Tree, sat down on a wooden chair, and leisurely said, ¡°Nan Feng, y a tune for me to listen to.¡± Nan Feng obediently set up the Three Absolute Strings, and notes started to flow out one by one. Compared to before, her music now possessed a charm of the Immortal Path. Upon hearing this music, Lu Rang and Long Zixuan were even more astonished. This Fairy Senior Sister was only the same age as them, but her Cultivation Level was already at the Venerable Realm, and she was close to understanding things of the Immortal Path¡ Would there soon be two more Fairy Senior Sisters? That was terrifying. Feeling the pressure, they knew they had to work harder from now on. By the vegetable garden, Lu Rang took a deep breath and recalled the image of Li Fan hoeing the field, trying to imitate it. But even with all his strength, he could hardly lift the hoe! His body trembled, his Spiritual Power surged, and his face turned pale! Barely lifting it, he felt unable to control it! He could only put it down heavily once more! Just this one action had exhausted all his Spiritual Power, and his whole body ached immensely. ¡°The teacher is too frightening, to lift this hoe as if it¡¯s nothing, this hoe, heavy as a thousand li, seemed like a toy in his hands¡¡± Lu Rang murmured to himself. By the pond. Long Zixuan took a deep breath. He didn¡¯t dare overdo it, but picked up a pellet of bait. He gently tossed it into the water. A koi fish swam by. With just one look, his mind thundered, his vision swam, and he couldn¡¯t even finish observing the swimming trajectory of the koi fish! He understood it was because he was still too weak! He could only stop and rest for a good while, and only after a long time dared to throw the second pellet¡ The day passed just like that. At dinner time, Zi Ling brought over the meal she had made. Tomato scrambled eggs, seaweed egg drop soup, stir-fried bacon, and such, giving off the appearance of a simple farmhouse meal that whetted the appetite. The source of the bacon was the spirit beasts that had died around the vige when the Cangli Mountain Range copsed. Zi Ling and Nan Feng thought it wasteful to discard them, so they prepared all of it into bacon, and Li Fan did not intervene much. ¡°Time to eat!¡± Zi Ling said with a smile. Li Fan then led the disciples to gather around the table. Long Zixuan was pale, while Lu Rang was drenched in sweat. ¡°Your foundations are too weak, you need to nourish yourselves more, eat up.¡± Li Fan smiled as he looked at the two. These two disciples of his must have had a really rough time outside, leading to weak constitutions, one couldn¡¯t lift a hoe more than a few times, and the other nearly fell asleep by the pond just from feeding fish¡ It¡¯s just too difficult, what kind of disciples have I taken in? But there¡¯s no helping it, Li Fan could only encourage them. He hoped that staying here for a peaceful period would allow the two of them to grow stronger. Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang felt deeply uneasy and inferior; indeed, it was their own fault for being so weak, nowhere near meeting their master¡¯s expectations¡ They began to eat. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, trembling, held their bowls and picked up their vegetables. ¡°It¡¯s all Holy Medicine, it¡¯s all Holy Medicine¡ what kind of family wealth is this¡¡± Long Zixuan was literally trembling. ¡°It¡¯s actually true, they really eat Holy Medicine as if it¡¯s ordinary food¡¡± Lu Rang had aplex expression, at this moment, he felt like praising the Divine Sword Sect that had sent him here. If those people knew he was eating Holy Medicine with every bite, they would die of envy! While everyone was eating, Bai Xiaoqing,pletely white, cutely walked out of her room, looking like she had just woken up. ¡°Meow meow~~ So fragrant, eating again¡±¡± Bai Xiaoqing consciously jumped into Li Fan¡¯s arms and rubbed her head against him. ¡°You little glutton, getting sleepier and sleepier, but always punctual for meals,¡± heughed and put a lot of food in Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s bowl. Bai Xiaoqing happily started eating. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, seeing this, felt even moreplex. Even a cat gets to enjoy a feast of Holy Medicine! Humans are indeed not as good as cats. Soon, everyone had finished eating. Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s belly was round, and she couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit worried, meow meow, it seemed she was going to get fat. Wait, how long had she slept this time? She suddenly realized, it seemed she had been asleep for quite a few days¡ She looked inside herself. In an instant, Bai Xiaoqing waspletely stunned, her cat eyes full of disbelief. Excitement, she was too excited! Because the blood in her body had all turned to a golden-red color! Each drop was like golden sacred liquid, supremely pure! Pure ancestral blood! This was pure ancestral blood! At this moment, all impurities in her body were no longer present. ¡°Meow meow, meow meow meow- ~ ~ ¡± She couldn¡¯t help but roll around in Li Fan¡¯s arms and licked his hand with her tender little tongue! ¡°This greedy cat¡¡± Li Fan rubbed her little belly. At that moment, Several rainbows of light were heading toward the outer perimeter of the Cangli Mountain Range. Soon, these lights of light touched down, turning into several wildly masculine men! ¡°ording to the information, the Princess went to the Cangli Mountain Range, and from the Soul Lamp, it seems the Princess should be in this direction!¡± One of them spoke. ¡°But now, we can no longer sense it; somewhere in this vastnd, there is an incredible ce that blocks all detection!¡± ¡°If we¡¯re not mistaken, Princess Xiaoqing must be trapped somewhere in a forbidden area!¡± An elder next to him held a brightntern in his hand. ¡°We should go back and report to the Tiger Emperor!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Quickly, they departed again. Meanwhile, Above the great enemy in the Southern Territory, Two elders dressed in linen robes were walking on thend, their auras concealed. To ordinary people, they seemed to move at the same pace as anyone else, but in a fleeting moment, they were a thousand li away. ¡°We still can¡¯t feel the presence of Zang Xuan; he was killed too thoroughly.¡± After searching for a long time, one of them spoke. The one who killed Zang Xuan must be hiding in the Southern Territory. Maybe we need toe up with a strategy to force him out!¡± The other person turned out to be Luo Ming, and a cold light shed in his eyes as he said, ¡°I already have a strategy in mind. Come on, let¡¯s find a force to approach!¡± Chapter 67 - 62 True Immortal Takes Action 1 Chapter 62 True Immortal Takes Action 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Not long after. Luofu Holy Land. The Luofu Holy Master was in seclusion, cultivating. Ever since entering the Southern Territory, the pressure facing his sect had greatly increased, and he sought to make further progress. After all, the stronger one¡¯s power under leisurely resources, the more one could obtain. Before him was ced an ancient tome, tattered and torn, which contained a secret technique, ¡°The Luofu Technique? Haha, it indeed bears some resemnce to the ¡®Immortal Realm ughter Decree¡¯ from the Immortal Domain, what a pity, its grade is still too low.¡± Suddenly, within the seclusion chamber of the Luofu Holy Master, a middle- aged man dressed in a coarse linen robe appeared. He casually picked up the ancient tome, skimmed through it, and then tossed it aside with a disdainful look in his eyes. The Luofu Holy Master hurriedly opened his eyes, and upon seeing the middle- aged man who had appeared in the chamber at some unknown time, he was extremely shocked and eximed, ¡°Who are you?!¡± At that moment, he was about to erupt with his cultivation power! But the man in ck simply raised his hand, and instantly the Holy Master felt as though he was being crushed by a massive weight of ten thousand pounds,pletely unable to catch his breath. Too terrifying, with a mere gesture, he could make the Luofu Holy Master, a Supreme, unable to resist! What kind of being was this? The Luofu Holy Master¡¯s face changed dramatically as he asked, ¡°Who are you, and why have youe here¡?¡± The middle-aged man just sneered and said, ¡°You needn¡¯t ask who I am. Tell me, what is this so-called power in the Southern Territory that can deter everything?¡± Upon hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master was even more startled. This person of unknown origin, with a cultivation clearly far above that of a Supreme, might very well be an Immortal, and moreover, he was inquiring about the mysterious power of the Southern Territory¡ Could it be that he was the instigator behind the destruction of the various Holy Lands? The middle-aged man seemed to see through his thoughts and sneered, ¡°Do you wish to perish like those ant-like Holy Lands before, or would you rather obediently answer my question? You may choose.¡± He had admitted it directly! Theplexion of the Luofu Holy Master turned extremely ugly in an instant. He understood that neither he nor the entire Luofu Holy Land had the slightest capability to resist before this individual. He could only say, ¡°I don¡¯t know; we¡¯ve never seen that mysterious power. Perhaps only the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land in the Southern Territory would know.¡± Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in linen cloth pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, ¡°The Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, huh?¡± ¡°I have not wanted to startle the snake by beating the grass¡¡± Having said that, he looked at the Luofu Holy Master and asked, ¡°Do you wish to dominate the Southern Territory?¡± Dominate the Southern Territory?! The Luofu Holy Master was already shrewd; he instantly understood the man¡¯s intentions! This time the man¡¯s visit to the Southern Territory was definitely for the purpose of finding that so-called ¡°power that could deter everything¡± in the Southern Territory! However, he was wary himself and did not dare to go directly to Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land. Therefore, he needed the Luofu Holy Land. Only with the Luofu Holy Land¡¯s interference stirring the waters could he fish out the mysterious existence of the Southern Territory! In that instant, the Luofu Holy Master¡¯s heart shed with hesitation! But this hesitation was only momentary. He recalled the words of Dugu Chenlu¡ªthe destroyer of the various Holy Lands was, at the very least, a True Immortal! The one before him was very likely to be a True Immortal! If he had the opportunity to serve a True Immortal, why would he not take it? Back in the Central Province, the Luofu Holy Land had been so glorious, yet upon arriving in the Southern Territory, it had to be suppressed by the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land¡ªhow could he not feel stifled in his heart! At this moment, he had made his decision. He knelt on the ground and said, ¡°I pay my respects to the master!¡± The man in the linen clothed instantaneously smiled. Meanwhile, at the Divine Sword Sect. Sect Master Cao Yijian was at that moment practicing his swordsmanship! Sword Qi whistled back and forth, capable of annihting heaven and earth! But in a haze, a middle-aged man in a linen garment suddenly stepped into his Sword Domain. ¡°Who are you?!¡± Cao Yijian saw him and was shocked and rmed. He also concentrated numerous strands of Sword Qi, sting them at the middle-aged man! Anyone who suddenly barged in was surely an enemy rather than a friend. Yet, his Sword Qi, at that instant, seemed to be solidified, utterly unable to be released! ¡°Stop struggling. In my presence, you¡¯re no different from an ant in the woods,¡± said the man. The middle-aged man snorted coldly. Cao Yijian was sweating profusely and said, ¡°Who are you? What do you want to do?¡± The middle-aged man indifferently replied, ¡°I¡¯m borrowing the Divine Sword Sect for a bit of business.¡± ¡°What if I grant you everything in the Southern Territory, how about that?¡± Upon hearing these words, Cao Yijian¡¯s eyes instantly shot out a fervent glow! Soon, a few dayster. ¡°Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land invited us to the Southern Territory yet relegated us to barrennds, how could this be reasonable?!¡± ¡°My Divine Sword Sect will not submit, the Spiritual Soil of the world should be upied by those with ability. By what right do the two Great Holy Lands monopolize the Southern Territory?¡± In the Southern Territory, suddenly a voice spread throughout all the sects! On that day, the Divine Sword Sect emerged in full force,unching a surprise attack on a major city in the Taiyan Holy Land, ughtering all Taiyan disciples! As soon as the news broke out, the entire Southern Territory was shaken. ¡°Has the Divine Sword Sect gone mad? How dare they provoke the Taiyan Holy Land like this?¡± ¡°No matter what, this is the Southern Territory. The power of the Taiyan Holy Land is far greater than that of the Divine Sword Sect; are they seeking death?¡± ¡°What has gotten into Cao Yijian?¡± The whole world was shocked. However, closely following this, another Great Holy Land made a statement: ¡°The Southern Territory belongs to the Xuantian Realm, not only to Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land. They should share all resources!¡± ¡°Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land need to show their sincerity within three days; otherwise, our sect willunch a Saint War!¡± The Luofu Holy Master personally penned the deration of war, sending it to the major forces currently in the Southern Territory! With these words spoken, a monstrous wave was immediately set off throughout the Southern Territory! Luofu Holy Land was one of the leading powers in Central Province, and now they were threatening with a Saint War! ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days since their arrival in the Southern Territory, what on earth has happened? Why are Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect stirring up challenges?¡± ¡°s, where there are people, there is conflict. Now, the Southern Territory is the only Pure Land in the entire Xuantian Realm, and its resources are limited. The major forces are bound topete!¡± ¡°What a pity for Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, isn¡¯t this akin to inviting wolves into one¡¯s home?¡± The entire Xuantian Realm was abuzz with discussions! And at this moment. In Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land have gone too far!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s face bore a trace of icy killing intent! He was already enraged! ¡°We kindly allowed them to take refuge in the Southern Territory, and now they bite back at us, truly excessive!¡± ¡°Ungrateful wretches. An entire city of our people has been annihted by the Divine Sword Sect. Saint Lord, we mustunch a Saint War!¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s teach them a lesson!¡± Many elders were extremely angry. Their enormous city had been sneak- attacked and upied by the Divine Sword Sect, and its defenders killed to thest man. This was a grave humiliation and a deep grudge! Yuanyang Holy Lord¡¯splexion was also dark as he said: ¡°This matter, I fear, is not as simple as we think!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao looked at him. Yuanyang Holy Lord said, ¡°Neither Luofu Holy Master nor Cao Yijian is rash. Yet now they strike so brutally. I believe there must be a hidden story.¡± ¡°There might be some conspiracy at y!¡± Hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao also couldn¡¯t help nodding, saying, ¡°Given the current circumstances, what should we do?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord said coldly, ¡°They want resources, don¡¯t they? Let theme and take it themselves!¡± ¡°Additionally, we need to inform Senior Li about this matter in a timely manner!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao said, ¡°If so, that¡¯s very good!¡± Then Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land spoke together: ¡°Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land want resources, do they? Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land will open our doors wide. Three days from now, we wee you toe and discuss the division of resources!¡± ¡°Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land wee all challengers!¡± No sooner had these words been spoken than the clouds moved in all directions! Chapter 68 - 63 Two Almost Immortals 1 Chapter 68: Chapter 63 Two Almost Immortals 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Two great Holy Lands made their derations, instantly causing endless ripples. It was clear, they were preparing for battle! Showing no fear at all. ¡°They say they wee us to discuss matters, but in fact, it is a response to the Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land!¡± ¡°Very bold, weing any challenger¡¡± ¡°Hehe, we¡¯ll have a good show this time.¡± The entire Southern Territory was paying attention to this matter. At the same time, many Holy Lands and noble families that had not participated were also starting to act, with many Holy Ground Sects frequently making moves against the Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land. After all, since arriving in the Southern Territory, the various Holy Ground Sects were far from what they once were¡ªthe resources they could obtain were too limited. Under such circumstances, everyone coveted what Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land possessed. They had never dared to make a move, simply because no one wanted to be the first to stand out and be subjected to public denunciation and be tagged as ungrateful. Now that the two powerful forces had stepped forward, things were different. Luofu Holy Land. Within a newly built grand hall, more than a dozen strong figures had gathered, all of them influential people from various Sects. They were all here for this matter. ¡°Brother, Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land have upied the Southern Territory for many years; their foundation is absolutely not weak. Now that they¡¯ve spoken, I¡¯m afraid they are already prepared,¡± one of the old Sect Masters from Central Province said, with a hint of worry on his face. But a cold smile appeared on the face of Luofu Holy Master, who said, ¡°The Southern Territory Sects are just barbarians!¡± ¡°Compared with our Central Province forces, their so-called foundation is not worth mentioning!¡± ¡°Rest assured, this time, whether they are willing to give or not, they will have to give!¡± He was extremely confident! ¨C Because in just these few days, his strength had soared at an astonishing speed to a height that was enough to dominate the Xuantian Realm! He believed that Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were definitely not his match now! Divine Sword Sect. Here, too, a crowd of Sects had gathered, mainly those from the Northern Region. ¡°Sect Master Cao, you look more and more vigorous. I suppose your cultivation level has broken through recently?¡± a middle-aged man said; he was also a Supreme Elder from a Quasi-Saint Grade force! The corners of Sect Master Cao Yijian¡¯s mouth from the Divine Sword Sect curled into a smug smile as he said, ¡°A minor improvement, not worth mentioning.¡± In the past few days, his confidence had grown. Before this, he had been worried; after all, the Divine Sword Sect was only a Quasi-Saint Grade force, not strong enough to contend with the likes of Taiyan Holy Land. But the grace of a True Immortal had drastically elevated his strength. ¡°However, Sect Master Cao, this time Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land must have already made preparations. May I ask what your ns are?¡± another Sect leader asked. ¡°n against a tiny Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land? What n do you need?¡± Cao Yijian proudly said, ¡°In three days, they will understand who is the true ruler of the Xuantian Realm!¡± At this moment. Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had already invited Mu Qianning and the others to Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Divine Maiden Qian Ning, under normal circumstances, Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect shouldn¡¯t be so presumptuous. We suspect there¡¯s deeper hidden information behind this, which is why we especially invited you here,¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke. Mu Qianning¡¯s face showed some anger as she said, ¡°These people are too bad. Clearly, we allowed them toe to the Southern Territory to take refuge out of goodwill, and who would have thought, they would be so ungrateful!¡± ¡°Ah, Qian Ning, such is human nature,¡± Fire Spirit chimed in before looking at both Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lords, adding, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, in three days, we will join you in meeting these people.¡± Now, they still had several treasures gifted by Li Fan in their possession, and if it really came down to it, even True Immortals wouldn¡¯t intimidate them. Mu Qianning also said, ¡°Right, don¡¯t be afraid of them. Even Senior Li would not tolerate such behavior.¡± Hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord werepletely reassured. To say such things by Mu Qianning was almost equivalent to Senior Li¡¯s attitude. They feared nothing, no matter what maye! Time flew by swiftly. Soon, three days had passed. Today is the day when all major Holy Lands meet at Taiyan Holy Land for a discussion. Not only the Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land, but other top Holy Lands and powers have also arrived, including Cihang Holy Abode, Dugu Family, Saint Dragon Dynasty, Ximo Kongming Temple, and others. Although these forces did not directly express their stance, it was clear that they were sure to want a share of the profits at the crucial moment. The gate of Taiyan Holy Land opened. One after another, Yu Kong Flying Ships descended. One by one, significant figures came out and headed toward the grand hall of Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Luofu Holy Master has arrived!¡± The arrival of a Yu Kong Flying Ship drew everyone¡¯s attention. Luofu Holy Master, with his hands behind his back, walked forth, followed by a group of elders. One of the elders from Luofu Holy Land, beneath his robe, was wearing ayer of linen, he surveyed the entire Taiyan Holy Land with an expressionless gaze. ¡°Sect Master Cao Yijian of the Divine Sword Sect has also arrived.¡± Another voice spoke up as Cao Yijian arrived as well. Simrly, a group of Divine Sword Sect elders followed him; one of them also wore ayer of linen beneath his outer robe. The arrival of the two captured everyone¡¯s attention. After all, they were the ones who started this war! ¡°Please, fellow Daoists, take your seats in the grand hall!¡± A Supreme Elder from Taiyan Holy Land personally received them! Before long, everyone had already entered the grand hall of Taiyan Holy Land for the meeting. The crowd saw that at the head, sitting in the center, were none other than Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit! Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were seated on their respective sides. ¡°Thankyou all foring. Your presence brings honor to our sect.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Brother Luofu and Brother Cao are not quite satisfied with the powers of the Southern Territory?¡± Very direct! Sect Master Cao Yijian of the Divine Sword Sect let out a coldugh, ¡°It¡¯s not a matter of dissatisfaction, we just need things to be more fair.¡± Everyone felt a chill, the air was thick with tension. ¡°What would you consider fair?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord asked coldly, ¡°While the other four regions were facing the cmity of extinction, our Southern Territory opened the door of convenience wide to let you all enter this Pure Land. And what happened? The Divine Sword Sect seized cities belonging to Taiyan Holy Land, Luofu Holy Land threatened with a holy war, is this your so-called fairness?!¡± ¡°Do you really think that the Holy Grounds of the Southern Territory are easy to bully?!¡± His voice echoed through the hall! ¡°Heh,¡± At this point, Luofu Holy Master let out a coldugh, ¡°The Southern Territory belongs to the Xuantian Realm, not just your Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°The Southern Territory is for everyone to share, the capable ones im it!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t stand up to it, then step aside!¡± With these words, he mmed the table, and suddenly, a tremendous aura burst forth, carrying with it a semnce of Immortal Path, instantly filling the room and causing everyone¡¯s expressions to change drastically! Everyone present was at least at the Supreme level, but at that moment Luofu Holy Master¡¯s aura made them feel suffocated! ¡°Quasi ¨C Immortal!¡± ¡°Has Luofu Holy Master actually reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm? That¡¯s too terrifying!¡± ¡°Without Immortals appearing, Quasi-Immortals are the peak of the Xuantian Realm, no wonder, no wonder Luofu Holy Land is not willing to be below others!¡± Everyone was shocked beyond measure! Even Cihang Saint Lord and Dugu Chenlu were extremely surprised. At the same time, people were beginning to understand why Luofu Holy Land had challenged the Southern Territory. With the most top-tierbat power currently in the Xuantian Realm, how could they be content to be beneath others? Seeing this, Saint Lord Lingchao also coldly said, ¡°Brother Luofu is indeed powerful.¡± ¡°However, with just the might of a single Quasi-Immortal, you wish to devour the Southern Territory, I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s still not enough, right?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes revealed contemtion; did Taiyan Holy Land have some means to counter a Quasi-Immortal? ¡°One Quasi-Immortal may not be enough, but what about two?!¡± At this time, Sect Master Cao Yijian of the Divine Sword Sect spoke out coldly, waving his hand as the sword unsheathed in his grip, a powerful sword intent flowing like water, sweeping through the hearts of everyone present. His aura was in no way weaker than Luofu Holy Master! Another Quasi-Immortal! Two Quasi-Immortals! At that moment, everyone was utterly shocked, unable to remainposed! Chapter 69 - 64: An Immortal Treasure That Can Kill True Immortals?_1 Chapter 69: Chapter 64: An Immortal Treasure That Can Kill True Immortals?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Two Almost Immortals! At the scene, every Supreme and Saint Master widened their eyes in surprise. That Luofu Holy Master possessed the cultivation level of an Almost Immortal was unexpected, but not wholly inconceivable. After all, it was a Holy Land with deep roots and a long history. But the Sect Master of Divine Sword Sect, an Almost Immortal too? ¡°Another Almost Immortal has appeared, too terrifying!¡± ¡°There had been no rumors before, they really hid their strengths deeply.¡± ¡°Two Almost Immortals¡ Only in the most glorious epochs in history would such a spectacle emerge¡¡± ¡°With two Almost Immortals speaking in unison, who could possibly stop them? Not even the Holy Lands can do it!¡± For a moment, everyone started talking, overwhelmed with emotion. Strong figures like Cihang Saint Lord also looked extremely solemn. Two Almost Immortals, looking down upon the assembly. ¡°I believe Brother Luofu and Brother Cao¡¯s propositions are not wrong.¡± At this moment, Cihang Saint Lord gave a slight smile and said, ¡°Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, you should be just a bit more generous.¡± Taking sides! Previously, her Cihang Holy Abode had not expressed any stance until this very moment, when two Almost Immortals had revealed themselves assured of victory. ¡°Hehe, our Sacred Dragon Imperial Family also shares this view. The Xuantian Realm is one big family, we can¡¯t just let you two factions eat meat, while letting others chew on husks, can we? The famous mountains, the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, the Spirit Stone Veins, and such, should all be taken out for redistribution!¡± An Emperor from the Saint Dragon Dynasty also spoke out with a scoff. ¡°Indeed, it should be so!¡± ¡°The Southern Territory belongs to everyone!¡± ¡°Ziyang Holy Land and Taiyan Holy Land have taken up too much!¡± At that moment, individuals from powers outside of the Southern Territory began to voice their opinions! If before they had remained silent, now there was no longer any need to do so. Dividing up the Southern Territory had be a foregone conclusion the moment the two Almost Immortals appeared! Hence, speaking up now was necessary to ensure a share in the spoils toe. Upon witnessing this scene, individuals such as Mu Qianning in the chief seats had very unsightly expressions. Is this, then, the nature of humanity? There¡¯s no distinction between good or evil, there is only thew of the jungle. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, struck dumb, are you? I¡¯ve given you face, hoping you¡¯d have some dignity, but you¡¯re forcing me to take action. I¡¯m afraid you risk the extinction of your sects!¡± At that moment, Cao Yijian once again threatened, his sword intent even more powerful. ¡°Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden,¡± Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord both stood up, facing Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, paying their respects, ¡°We werepelled and had no choice but to face the enemy.¡± Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit both nodded. Thereafter, Lingchao and hispanion turned around. ¡°Do you really think that the Southern Territory is a ce where you can act recklessly?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao bellowed, his hair flying wildly, and in an instant, an overwhelming Spiritual Power surged out just like a towering wave! Almost Immortal! Another Almost Immortal! In that moment, everyone at the scene was extremely shocked! ¡°Almost Immortal? You think only you are?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord too bellowed angrily, releasing his cultivation level that swept across the assembly, pushing back against the pressure of both Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian! Yet another Almost Immortal! In the span of a moment, four Almost Immortals had appeared in session! Suddenly, everyone in the great hall was shocked. Silence, utter silence! Everyone looked at the scene before them in disbelief. Almost Immortals! On ordinary days, such figures were unseen in the Xuantian Realm! Yet now, four had appeared at once. This was hard to believe! ¡°Heavens, the Southern Territory actually has two Almost Immortals¡ How terrifying is that?¡± ¡°Two Almost Immortals against two Almost Immortals, utterly fearless¡ Is this the foundation of the Southern Territory?¡± ¡± What kind of opportunity does the Southern Territory have? Such a wild and untamednd, yet it has nurtured two Almost Immortals¡¡± Everyone was murmuring in stunned voices. Many forces that had previously spoken against the Southern Territory now suddenly regretted it! How rash they had been! Just now, it seemed that Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land were in an invincible position! Who would have thought that in an instant, the Southern Territory would also produce two Almost Immortals? Whose is the prey remains undecided! ¡°Heavens, these two are both Almost Immortals, yet they show such immense respect to those two young maidens. Who exactly are they?¡± Cihang Saint Lord, however, focused her gaze on Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit at the center! She thought of many things, her expression grave, and her heart instantly filled with regret. If Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, the two great Holy Lands, each had an Almost Immortal, And if there were even more fearsome existences standing behind them, then all other domains stood no chance at all! She had bet on the wrong side! Many astute individuals, at that moment, were thinking along the same lines as her, instead focusing their attention on Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning. And at this moment, both Cao Yijian and Luofu Holy Master were extremely stunned! The opposition also consisted of Almost Immortals! They were taken aback. At the same time, their hearts shrank with apprehension. Could it be that there really were even more formidable beings standing behind the opposition? At this moment, a trace of hesitation shed in the heart of Luofu Holy Master! But as he wavered, a chilling coldness suddenly invaded from behind him. He immediately felt a shiver down his spine: behind him stood a True Immortal, and it was not his ce to make decisions. Now, having reached this point, there was no way to retreat. ¡°Heh heh, Almost Immortal two-on-two, I am very curious, can your two Holy Land¡¯s Supremes fight against the Saint Masters of the four major domains in the Xuantian Realm?¡± The Luofu Holy Master spoke! At these words, everyone fell silent. Indeed, when the topbat power is bnced, Supreme Level and Saint Master Level forces will determine the victory or defeat. In terms of the number of Saint Masters and Supremes, the four major domains arepletely victorious! ¡°Even if you are Almost Immortals, today you will lose! Combined, our foundation is far stronger than yours!¡± Cao Yijian spoke fiercely! The great battle was on the verge of breaking out! ¡°You all are going too far!¡± At this time, Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t hold back and spoke out! Her face flushed red as she stood up and said, ¡°The Southern Territory opened the door of convenience widely for you, sparing you from disaster, but you repay kindness with ingratitude, repaying virtue with resentment!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve gone too far!¡± But Cao Yijian just sneered, ¡°So what if it¡¯s too far? In the face of power, everything is nothing! You, a mere Mahayana Realm ant, dare to be arrogant in front of an Almost Immortal, are you seeking death?¡± He was threatening Mu Qianning! ¡°Truly seeking death.¡± Fire Spirit shook her head and stood up, her sleeve already secretly clutching the scroll given by Senior Li! She had brought it this time to deal with emergencies. Standing side by side with Mu Qianning, she had already harbored a murderous intent. Yuanyang and Ling Chao were shocked as well; if Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were to take action, it was feared that the experts of the four major domains would all be annihted! Even True Immortals would die! Yet, they said nothing; all of this, the experts of the four major domains had brought upon themselves, daring to threaten someone favored by Senior Li, they deserved to die. At this moment, among the crowd. The two middle-aged men wearing linens under their robes, both looked at Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and in that instant, shock flickered in their eyes! ¡°Do these two women possess unimaginable sacred artifacts?¡± One of them whispered softly! ¡°I even felt a terrifying threat, if it is revealed, perhaps you and I will die on the spot¡¡± The othermunicated directly through a soul transmission! The two exchanged nces from afar and saw the fear in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°We can¡¯t act recklessly, we need to stabilize the situation first!¡± The two True Immortals immediately reached a consensus. ¡°It seems that in the Southern Territory, there really is a powerful being inmand, and it is very likely a strong being from the Immortal Domain!¡± One of them said. ¡°Right¡ These two women are likely disciples under that being¡¯s tutge¡¡± ¡°We can¡¯t engage in directbat, otherwise, we would expose ourselves, but we can¡¯t just back down either, else we can¡¯t probe the depths of our opponents¡¡± The two quicklymunicated with each other. ¡°I suddenly thought, since that being has disciples, why not start with them? We dare not force that one to take action directly, but by pushing his disciples, we can also glimpse his origins!¡± ¡°Just so, just so, in this way, in that way!¡± The two quickly reached a consensus. In an instant, they transmitted their thoughts to Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master. Upon hearing the True Immortals¡¯ soul transmissions, both the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian¡¯s expressions changed. They were actually being asked to back down? They had already torn off their pretenses, but now they weren¡¯t allowed to continue to force a battle? Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master were utterly baffled. Yet at the same time, they did not dare disobey themands of the two True Immortals. ¡°Heh heh, we are not the type to bully others,¡± At this moment, the Luofu Holy Master suddenly spoke up, ¡°We have both proven ourselves as Almost Immortals, and if a war breaks out, the Southern Territory will certainly be devastated. How about this¡ªlet¡¯ s change the method, shall we?¡± He looked at Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord. Ling Chao and Yuanyang exchanged nces. ¡°What are you suggesting?¡± Ling Chao inquired. ¡°Quite simple, let the younger generationpete. Based on their victory or defeat, we can decide the allocation of resources for the Southern Territory, how does that sound?¡± The Luofu Holy Master said. Upon hearing this, everyone around was surprised. The Luofu Holy Master was actually taking a step back? Honestly, in the eyes of the crowd, the four major domains held the advantage right now. Because they simply had too many people. ¡°What, you¡¯re not daring to do it? If you agree, we will let you off today!¡± Cao Yijian also spoke gravely. This confused everyone even more. The two Almost Immortals, while having the clear advantage, were actually both taking a step back? ¡°This might be the best way,¡± At this moment, Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert suddenly spoke up, ¡°Since the dispute is irreconcble, such a decision for the oue is good for all parties.¡± Even Dugu Chen, who had been silent, said, ¡°I agree.¡± Seeing two Almost Immortals and the two strongest Saint Master Level figures speak up, the others could only follow suit. A battle between the young ones! ¡°Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden, what do you think?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord, however, looked towards Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning. Mu Qianning said, ¡°Whatever the two Saint Lords decide will be fine. No matter what you do, we will support you.¡± Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two Saint Lords immediately showed relief. ¡°Very well, on behalf of the Southern Territory, we, the two Holy Lands, ept your challenge!¡± ¡°Three days hence, the younger generation of the Southern Territory will face the prodigies of the four major domains!¡± Saint Lord Yuanyang and Saint Lord Lingchao dered! They had agreed! Chapter 70 - 65 Almost Immortal? A Snap of the Fingers Away_1 The Battle of the Southern Territory! In the grand hall, everyone¡¯s face became stern! No one expected that the tense situation that had swords drawn and bows bent would be defused in an instant! ¡°That¡¯s better, avoiding a battle among Almost Immortals is good for the entire Xuantian Realm.¡± ¡°Indeed, if four Almost Immortals started fighting, who knows how many cultivators would be implicated¡¡± ¡°The four domains still have the advantage; among the younger generation, the geniuses of the Southern Territory are certainly no match for those of the four major domains!¡± For a moment, everyone started speaking up. They all seemed to agree with this proposition. ¡°Hehe, good, in three days, right here, let you barbarians of the Southern Territory see what, exactly, true geniuses are!¡± Cao Yijian spoke icily. After finishing, he waved his sleeve grandly and turned to leave. ¡°I hope the younger generation of the Southern Territory will not disappoint me.¡± The Luofu Holy Master also spoke indifferently, then departed. The people from the other powers didn¡¯t stay either. ¡°Let¡¯s go, hurry back to the Sect Gate. Pick out the strongest prodigy; in three days, they will represent the Sect in battle!¡± ¡°Right, as long as we get good results in this battle of the younger generation, the Sect will gain more resources in the Southern Territory.¡± ¡°Hehe, this time, those geniuses of our Sect are going to shine brightly¡¡± Outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a series of Yu Kong Flying Ships continuously took off. All the major powers had left. ¡°Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden,¡± After everyone left, Yuanyang and Ling Chao turned to look at Mu Qianning and the other. ¡°The Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect came threateningly, clearly ready to engage in a big battle. But when you two stood up, their attitudes instantly shifted, seeming too strange!¡± ¡°I think, maybe they saw something in the two of you, felt intimidated, and that¡¯s why they took a step back.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke solemnly, ¡°I suspect, behind them, there might be someone else manipting the situation!¡± Being Saint Masters, they naturally could sense the oddity in it. ¡°Right, and I¡¯m sure that when they first arrived in the Southern Territory, both the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian had not reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm. In less than a month, how could they have advanced so quickly? There must be someone supporting them from behind!¡± Ling Chao also chimed in. They had all received favors from Senior Li to cross that chasm and they deeply understood how difficult it was to advance from Supreme to Almost Immortal. There must be something fishy about the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian. Fire Spirit nodded and said, ¡°Qian Ning, perhaps we should report this matter to Senior Li.¡± Mu Qianning said, ¡°I¡¯ll go inform Senior Li right away!¡± The Luofu Holy Land. In the secret chamber. ¡°Master, we were ready to take down the Southern Territory in one battle. Why did you¡¡± The Luofu Holy Master cautiously inquired, with a trace of confusion on his face. They had clearly had the upper hand, and even though the appearance of two Almost Immortals was beyond their expectations, with the support of the major Sects from the four domains, they were still confident in taking down the Southern Territory! Upon hearing this, the man in the linen clothes in front of him looked at him coldly and said, ¡°You also have the right to question my decision?¡± Upon hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master¡¯s face changed dramatically, and he immediately knelt down, saying in a rush, ¡°How dare l!¡± The man before him was a True Immortal, after all; even a single nce could reduce the Luofu Holy Master to ashes! ¡°Hmph! There¡¯s no harm telling you. On those two girls, I sensed Immortal Treasures that surpass the True Immortal grade!¡± Hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master¡¯s face changed dramatically! Treasures that surpassed the True Immortal grade! Did that not mean that behind the Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, there truly stood a being that surpassed True Immortal? If that were the case, weren¡¯t they just courting death? ¡°But you don¡¯t need to worry, even if a Profound Immortal were toe, it wouldn¡¯t change a thing!¡± The man in linen spoke coldly, ¡°Hurry up and find the best disciples from your Sect for me. I will make them invincible in the shortest time possible!¡± Since they wanted to probe the existence behind Taiyan Holy Land and the others through thispetition of the younger generation, they certainly needed to make an effort to ensure the talents of the Luofu Holy Land had the strength to force the other side¡¯s hand¡ Hearing this, the Luofu Holy Master took a deep breath and said, ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll go find them right away!¡± No matter what, havinge this far, there was no turning back. And for the juniors of the Sect to be able to receive guidance from a True Immortal was a tremendous fortune for the entire Luofu Holy Land! The Divine Sword Sect. ¡°These three good-for-nothings are the best disciples of the Divine Sword Sect?¡± Luo Ming looked at the three young people in front of him with disdain. Two men and a woman, they were the strongest seed-level figures of the Divine Sword Sect. Hearing Luo Ming¡¯s scornful words, the three¡¯s faces looked extremely ugly, but they dared not show disrespect because the Sect Master had said that this person was now the master of their entire Divine Sword Sect. They knew very well that the Sect Master¡¯s advancement to Almost Immortal wasrgely thanks to this person¡ Cao Yijian hastily said with a greasy smile, ¡°Master, though they are all useless, I believe that under your guidance, they will inevitably be invincible in this event! Sweeping through the entire Southern Territory! No, the entire Xuantian Realm!¡± Luo Ming snorted coldly and said, ¡°At least you know your ce.¡± After speaking, he looked at the three young people and said, ¡°Kneel down, I will impart to you the peerless Immortal Techniques!¡± ¡°Cao Shuang, Xia Tong, Zhang Dujian, why aren¡¯t you kneeling down quickly, to listen to the Master¡¯s teachings?!¡± Cao Yijian urgently chastised even more. All three young people knelt down instantaneously, while Luo Ming took a step forward, extended his hand, and suddenly, tangible golden runes emitted from his palm, turning into three streams of light that entered the minds of the three! At this moment. In a tranquil little mountain vige, Li Fan was basking in the sun in the courtyard. Several days had passed, and not another person hade to be a disciple. This left Li Fan feeling quite bored. He was still eight disciples short of the ten required by the system. When would that ever bepleted? In his free time these days, he would teach his disciples or sit with a cup of tea, listen to a tune, and peacefully pass the days. How carefree. After days of feasting on Holy Medicine, Lu Rang was now robust enough to wield a hoe, and his cultivation level soared once more! With every meal, a terrifying surge of Immortal Spirit Qi would enter his body, and the subsequent farming would help him refine the expanding Spiritual Energy. In just a few days, he had reached the Hollow Void Realm and was about to enter Mahayana! ¡°With my master here, the shackles between realms seem like they don¡¯t exist¡¡± Lu Rang once again struggled to lift his hoe, dripping with sweat but filled with happiness. On another side, Long Zixuan also made rapid progress. He was already in the Mahayana Realm, his Dragon Soul bing ever more perfect and powerful, transforming every day! The time he could spend observing the koi swimming had also increased a bit. ¡°I must work hard to catch up with my two older fellow disciples as soon as possible¡¡± he muttered to himself, then took a deep breath and continued watching the koi. Elsewhere, Nan Feng, like a stunning beauty from a fallen kingdom, produced a graceful and airy melody on her instrument, wholly immersed in it. Under Li Fan¡¯s continuous guidance, she had escaped the constraints of technique and achieved a kind of spiritual charm! However, at this moment, Nan Feng, while ying, gradually fell into a state of confusion. She felt that her melody had turned into a light kite, soaring with her towards the heavens above¡ She seemed to see endless Immortal Pces in the clouds, Immortals who lived forever without aging, and aplex intery of light and shadow¡ But at the same time, she was lost. Where am I? Which way should I go? How should I proceed, what should I do? When she looked back, she could not see the road she hade. In front of her, the Heavenly Pce was magnificent and solemn, seemingly within reach if she wished to enter and enjoy everything within¡ But there was a panic in her heart, a deep confusion. Like a child drowning. At this moment. In the courtyard, suddenly, Zi Ling who was painting, Lu Rang who was hoeing, and Long Zixuan who was watching the fish, all turned their heads to look at Nan Feng! They saw that Nan Feng, with her eyes tightly closed and her fingers plucking the strings, emitted waves of Immortal Charm from the instrument¡ ¡°Did older sister touch the Immortal Path?¡± Long Zixuan eximed in shock. ¡°Is sister Nan Feng about to make a breakthrough?¡± Zi Ling also opened her mouth in surprise. They all felt it, Nan Feng was in a mystical realm at this moment! By the side, Li Fan, listening to her melody, found it very pleasant to the ear, but sensed a trace of discordance. He immediately lightly tapped the stone table with his finger, precisely aligning with the tune under Nan Feng¡¯s fingers. Gently guiding, he brought Nan Feng back to the correct melody. As his finger touched the stone table in that instant. Nan Feng, who was in a state of confusion and helpless in the Immortal Path, saw the mist before her eyes suddenly clear, as if in the distance, a mysterious melody helped her instantly find herself! All illusions vanished, she turned back and found the road she hade from. She saw the many versions of herself from the past¡ small and weak, yet always moving forward with strength! ¡°I am always myself.¡± She murmured to herself, and the next moment, Nan Feng, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them! In a sh, a faint golden Immortal light streaked through her eyes! The melody also stopped abruptly! ¡°I¡¯ve seen the door¡ now Almost Immortal!¡± She muttered subconsciously, shocked as she looked up at Li Fan, only to see a slight upturn of his mouth, a hint of approval in his expression, as he said: ¡°You yed well.¡± Chapter 71 - 66 Group Fight_1 In the small courtyard, Zi Ling¡¯s mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an Earth Chicken egg. Long Zixuan¡¯s face was filled with shock, wearing a look of disbelief¡ His senior sister was only around twenty years old, and she had already be an Almost Immortal?! Too terrifying, right?! Looking across the entire Xuantian Realm, this was definitely an unprecedented speed of cultivation! Lu Rang had aplex expression on his face, thinking his own progression had been rapid, but he didn¡¯t expect his senior sister to be this monstrous¡ But at the same time, they all felt a deep sense of anticipation! They all understood why this was all happening! Their master! With such a master, it seemed as though the Immortal Path, which the whole Xuantian Realm looked up to¡ was nothing at all. Nan Feng stood up and deeply bowed to Li Fan, saying, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, Master. I almost went astray!¡± She spoke with gratitude. ¡°It¡¯s a trivial matter.¡± ¡°When you walk far on a path, you¡¯ll encounter various inner demons, which is quite normal.¡± Li Fan smiled and looked towards Zi Ling and the others, saying, ¡°You all should also take heed.¡± Zi Ling and the others nodded earnestly, ¡°We¡¯ve taken it to heart.¡± Li Fan stood up, stretchedzily, and said, ¡°Your senior sister has made some progress in her lute ying, which is worth celebrating. Come, today we can eat peaches again.¡± He looked at the branches of the Peach Tree, several peaches had ripened. Li Fan was very pleased with this Peach Tree; the peaches it bore had thin skins, were juicy, and very sweet. Upon hearing this, the disciples all instantly got excited. Those are Pan Peaches! Their grade is probably far above that of Holy Medicine! All of them sat by the stone table, quietly waiting. ¡°Meowmeow¡ª¡± Even Bai Xiaoqing, who was ying on one side, jumped onto the stone table, guarding her spot. Since transforming into a Pure Blood White Tiger, she had been very energetic, causing trouble in the courtyard every day, but she never bothered the Earth Chicken or the carps they raised, seemingly very afraid of them. Li Fan smiled and gently picked a few Pan Peaches. ¡°Is Senior Li there?¡± At this moment, a voice came from outside the door. It was Mu Qianning¡¯s voice. Li Fan hadn¡¯t seen this girl for a long time; he immediately said, ¡°I am,e in.¡± Outside, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning walked in, and seeing two young men in the courtyard, they were both a bit surprised. ¡°I have troubled you to help, and I¡¯ve taken in two disciples, Lu Rang and Long Zixuan.¡± Li Fan spoke. Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were both amazed. So these were Senior Li¡¯s disciples. At the same time, both of them hurriedly said, ¡°We just did what we were supposed to do, Senior is being too polite.¡± Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, sit down. Just in time to try these peaches together.¡± Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning¡¯s eyes shone with excitement! My goodness, are we in luck again?! Having already received Senior Li¡¯s benevolence before, they didn¡¯t hold back this time and quickly took their seats. Li Fan cut the ripe peaches and said, ¡°Eat up.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Zi Ling was the first to unceremoniously pick up a piece of Pan Peach, her big eyes sparkling with happiness as she took a bite! The juice was sweet! It turned to nectar as she swallowed! Boom! Her cultivation level skyrocketed, and her physique was constantly being refined! Her aura rose from the Nascent Soul Realm¡¯s Quintuple Heaven, soaring all the way to the Nine Heavens, where it finally stopped! She went from a Venerable to a Supreme! The others around her were all stunned. A Supreme under twenty years old¡ Too terrifying. After eating the Pan Peach, Nan Feng¡¯s aura also improved by leaps and bounds! She was wrapped in immortal grace, appearing utterly sacred! ¡°Is this¡ an Immortal?¡± Fire Spirit and the others were even more shocked. But Nan Feng took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, ¡°It¡¯s not time yet.¡± Just from that bite of Pan Peach, she could have leaped from being Almost Immortal directly to an Immortal. But she deeply understood that in order to solidify her foundation, she couldn¡¯t always seek speed. Thus, she suppressed it. However, this was just a matter of time. The crowd hadplex expressions; it was too eerie. In the outside world, an Almost Immortal could stir endless storms, but here, bing an Immortal was just a matter of willingness¡ Long Zixuan and Lu Rang also swallowed! Lu Rang¡¯s cultivation level skyrocketed from the Hollow Void Realm, reaching the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven directly! Long Zixuan, on the other hand, entered the Venerable Realm¡ Both were in a daze, feeling that everything before their eyes was too unreal! Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were also filled with anticipation and quickly finished eating! Their cultivation levels soared as well! Both had already been in the Mahayana Realm; now they had stepped into the Venerable Realm together, not far from the Supreme. ¡°In the presence of Senior Li, the blessings that themon folk beg for are so casually given¡¡± Despite receiving many favors, Fire Spirit still had aplex expression. ¡°Senior Li is the best person in the world!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s eyes sparkled as she admired Li Fan to the extreme. Li Fan, however, was too busy to attend to them; Xiao Bai, having finished eating, was now pestering him to help rub her belly. ¡°You¡¯re too greedy, always eating so much¡¡± Li Fan said with a smile, rubbing Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s belly. Envy filled the eyes of everyone present! ¡°This must be the happiest pet in the world, right? To have Li Fan, such a tremendously powerful figure, rub her belly to aid digestion¡¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s beautiful eyes were brimming with envy! ¡°This cat¡ no, this Pure Blood White Tiger has incredibly profound luck. With just a rub from Senior Li, it doesn¡¯t even need to spend time assimting the Immortal Spiritual Qi of the Pan Peach¡¡± Fire Spirit was contemtive, wishing she could be this cat¡ Truly, sometimes people are not as good as cats! Bai Xiaoqing nagged Li Fan until he helped rub her belly, after which she ran off to y by herself. ¡°Right, do you have any matters to discuss?¡± After eating, Li Fan finally asked. At these words, Mu Qianning immediately said, ¡°Senior, before this¡ I advised Yuan Yang and Ling Chao to ept people from all territories to take refuge in the Southern Territory, but now, they have turned against us, wanting to seize the resources of the Southern Territory¡¡± She carried deep self-reproach in her expression, saying, ¡°It¡¯s all Qian Ning¡¯s fault for being foolish¡¡± Li Fan, however, shook his head and said, ¡°You did nothing wrong.¡± ¡°The mistake lies only in the greed inherent in human nature.¡± ¡°Do not me yourself for your kindness; it is the most precious light within life.¡± That is the most precious light within life. Hearing Senior Li say this, Mu Qianning¡¯s heart felt much more at ease. ¡°Senior, in order to decide the ownership of the Southern Territory¡¯s resources, those people proposed holding a martial contest among the young¡¡± Fire Spirit then spoke, ¡°I wonder, Senior, do you have any instructions?¡± A contest among the young? Li Fan was surprised, hearing this. A contest among the young, if put inly, was basically an agreement to fight, wasn¡¯t it? For a fight, one surely needs strong youngds. But, he felt a headacheing on. In matters of group fights, he couldn¡¯t be of much help¡ ¡°They are going too far!¡± At this moment, Lu Rang spoke angrily, ¡°How can these people be so ungrateful?!¡± Even though he came from one of the four great territories, he couldn¡¯t stand to see this. Long Zixuan nodded in agreement, ¡°To return kindness with resentment is disgraceful!¡± Seeing them speak up, Li Fan suddenly looked towards them. A group fight? This was great; didn¡¯t he have two disciples ready for this? ¡°Ahem, you two, have you any experience in fighting?¡± At his words, everyone was surprised. Senior Li¡ was he nning to send out his own disciples?! Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning immediately filled with anticipation! If Senior Li¡¯s disciples were to make a move, what was there to worry about? Lu Rang and Long Zixuan, however, were taken aback. But it was only for an instant. ¡°Master, we will surely win this fight!¡± Lu Rang had already stood up, readily agreeing! Long Zixuan also nodded. This was their master¡¯s first assignment to them; they absolutely couldn¡¯t disappoint their master and said, ¡°Your disciple is willing to go!¡± Chapter 72 - 67 Handy Weapon_1 Chapter 72: Chapter 67 Handy Weapon_1 Trantor: 549690339 I Lu Rang and Long Zixuan both immediately agreed! The two exchanged nces, their eyes flickering with excitement and anticipation. Seeing this, Li Fan nodded and said, ¡°Good, in that case, you two go with Qian Ning and the others.¡± ¡°As youmand!¡± The two immediately responded. ¡°Hmm¡ since we¡¯re going to have a group fight, it¡¯s absolutely not suitable to go without weapons. You also need to find weapons that suit you¡¡± Li Fan pondered and said, ¡°I do have several sharp weapons, but I¡¯m afraid giving them to you might lead to unnecessary killing¡ So, why don¡¯t you two look around the courtyard and see if there is any weapon you can use?¡± He asked. The system had previously rewarded him with several knives, swords, and spears, but those items were all very sharp. When it came to group fights, Li Fan had some experience ¡ª carrying sharp weapons could easily lead to casualties, and the price for that was too high. However, upon hearing Li Fan¡¯s words, everyone seemed to understand instantly. ¡°The several sharp weapons that Senior Li is talking about¡ must be world-ending armaments. This realm simply can¡¯t withstand them, so they cannot be used lightly!¡± Fire Spirit had an expression of understanding on her face. Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, on the other hand, got up and said, ¡°As youmand, we will go find some.¡± They immediately swept their gazes over the courtyard. After these few days, they understood that there were terrifying devices everywhere in this small courtyard, and any of them could cause a sensation in the world. For example, the hoe Lu Rang used for farming ¡ª he knew it was definitely beyond an Immortal Artifact and its grade unimaginable. He was already in the Mahayana Realm, but could only barely lift it, without causing any fluctuation in the hoe¡¯s Dao rhythm. For example, the bowl Long Zixuan used for baiting ¡ª Long Zixuan deeply understood how terrifying it was. He suspected that the bowl could suppress a True Dragon! ¡°There are so many unparalleled treasures in this small courtyard, but our current cultivation level allows us to use very few of them¡ Therefore, Master let us gauge our strength and choose something we can control,¡± Long Zixuanmunicated to Lu Rang. Lu Rang nodded and said with a headache, ¡°Everything here of Master is too extraordinary, and we can¡¯t use anything casually¡¡± Long Zixuan surveyed the small courtyard and suddenly remembered something. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve got it!¡± He quickly walked into the kitchen. Afterward, he returned with a grey, unassuming stick in hand. zing Staff! ¡°Right, how did I not think of that?¡± Lu Rang smacked his forehead! This zing Staff was also beyond an Immortal Artifact, but perhaps because they asionally needed to stoke the fire, they could barely use it. ¡°I¡¯ve also picked something for you!¡± Long Zixuan smiled slightly and actually took out a pair of chopsticks! A set of wooden chopsticks! ¡°Good,good,good!¡± Lu Rang praised repeatedly, took the chopsticks with delight, and was overjoyed. He had the lowest cultivation level, and normally using two chopsticks to eat was already very difficult, for the chopsticks were rare treasures as well. One chopstick was just right; he could barely use it. ¡°Master, the two of us have already chosen our weapons!¡± Long Zixuan reported to Li Fan. Looking at the weapons the two disciples had chosen, Li Fan suddenly began to doubt himself¡ Could these two be fools? The reason he was not giving them sharp weapons was to avoid harming people ¡ª they might end up in prison, but these two fellows, one chose a zing Staff, the other chose chopsticks? Do they look like they¡¯re going to fight a group battle¡ They¡¯re delivering themselves to the ughter. He was speechless. Well, it seems these two really had no experience in fighting; they could only join in for the head count. ¡°Forget it, I have nothing to say. Just stay back during the fight, and don¡¯t get hurt,¡± Li Fan could only admonish them, hoping the two disciples wouldn¡¯t foolishly rush to the front. The two nodded like pecking hens; the master was truly considerate, knowing they were not yet capable of using such terrifying weapons, so he especially cautioned them¡ ¡°Thank you, Senior. With that said, we will go back and notify Senior Yuanyang and the others. They will surely be overjoyed to learn that Senior has dispatched disciples.¡± Mu Qianning spoke happily. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Li Fan nodded. Instantly, Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, along with Fire Spirit and the others, left together. ¡°Master¡ if the two juniors cannot win the fight¡ next time, let us go instead,¡± Nan Feng spoke up after they left. She had been reluctant to volunteer herself because, as an Almost Immortal and a Supreme, she and Zi Ling going against the younger generation would be too dishonorable in the martial world. Upon hearing this, Li Fan was stunned ¡ª a girl who ys the zither suddenly saying she wants to go out and fight with her sister who paints, was far too discordant¡ Outside. Luofu Holy Land. ¡°Haha, I have already broken through to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!¡± A young man in a golden robe,ughing heartily, stood before a waterfall, radiating a palpable sense of power! In just two short days, he had advanced from Hollow Void Realm to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven! What kind of concept is that? It¡¯s nothing short of a leap! ¡°Hehe, Senior Wu Ming, I¡¯m slightly behind you, but I have also reached the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven!¡± Beside him, a rather gaunt young man with an exceptionally sinister gaze in his eyes also spoke with a smile. ¡°You two have received the Master¡¯s grace, this time, you must win the entire Southern Territory for our Luofu Holy Land!¡± The Luofu Holy Master looked at the two of them, his eyes also brimming with excitement, filled with confidence! In the younger generation of the whole Xuantian Realm, spanning across all the Holy Lands, those who could reach the Hollow Void Realm were considered top-level geniuses. Take Wu Ming, for example, who reached the first level of the Hollow Void Realm beforeing to the Southern Territory, had already made a name for himself in the Central Province as an unparalleled talent. Now, he had even broken through to the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven. Such a realm was enough for him to look down upon the older generation! How could other forcespete with his Luofu Holy Land? This time, dominating the entire Southern Territory was within easy reach! And above the waterfall, the middle-aged man dressed in linen stood with his hands behind his back, looking icily at the people below. ¡°¡Burning all potential and life in exchange for three days at the apex, yet still unable to enter the Immortal Path¡ what utter waste.¡± He shook his head, ¡°I only hope that you two wastes can allow me to discern some clues about the person behind all this through thispetition¡¡± Divine Sword Sect! ¡°Swoosh¡ª¡± The long sword sliced through the air, its unmatched Sword Qi, like a mighty dragon, was extremely powerful! ¡°Has Senior Brother Cao Shuang broken into the Venerable Realm?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s too strong!¡± Xia Tong and Zhang Dujian both looked at Cao Shuang with shock and admiration! Cao Shuang burst into heartyughter, retracting his long sword. He was filled with a sense of invincibility as he said, ¡°Just right, I¡¯ve taken one step further ahead of you, crossing the line between the Mahayana Realm and the Integration Realm!¡± Pride filled his eyes. Xia Tong and Zhang Dujian were only in the Mahayana Realm, but he had gone far beyond, stepping into the Venerable Realm. ¡°Senior brother is not even thirty years old, right? A Venerable under thirty- unprecedented and remarkable!¡± Xia Tong looked at Cao Shuang, her eyes brimming with adoration! ¡°With senior brother¡¯s sword unleashed, the Divine Sword Sect will leap to be the greatest Sect Gate in the Southern Territory!¡± Zhang Dujian praised him as well. In the nearby pavilion, Cao Yijian knelt excitedly towards Luo Ming, saying, ¡°Thank you, Master, thank you. Our Divine Sword Sect is willing to go through fire and water for the Master without any hesitation!¡± Cao Shuang was his grandson, who had now be a Venerable! This was going to be a major event recorded in the cultivation history of the entire Xuantian Realm! The Divine Sword Sect bing a Holy Land¡ and even surpassing Holy Lands, was now possible. As for thispetition? He believed that there was no need to fight. If the outside world knew that his grandson had be a Venerable¡ all sides would surrender directly! However, Luo Ming just smiled and said, ¡°If your performance satisfies this seat, you will receive even more.¡± Cao Yijian immediately knocked his head on the ground. But in his heart, Luo Ming coldly thought, ¡°If you can satisfy this seat, perhaps after thepetition, this seat might bestow one or two Immortal Elixirs, allowing these three waste grandsons of yours to extend their lives. Otherwise, after their life essences have burned out, let their souls and spirits be extinguished¡ª¡± At this moment. Taiyan Holy Land. When the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao heard of the return of Fire Spirit and the others, they came out to greet them from afar, with utmost respect. ¡°Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden, Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, what did Senior Li say? And who are these two?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao asked. Fire Spirit immediately spoke, ¡°Senior Li, after learning of this matter, sent his two newly epted disciples to assist us!¡± She introduced, ¡°This is Lu Rang, and this is Long Zixuan!¡± Lu Rang and Long Zixuan also bowed slightly, saying, ¡°We are here to help fight on the orders of our master!¡± Immediately, both the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao were overjoyed! If Senior Li¡¯s disciples were personally taking action, what was there to worry about? ¡°By the way, Young Master Long, your presence seems to bear a semnce to the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty, doesn¡¯t it?¡± At this time, the Yuanyang Holy Lord suddenly inquired. Long Zixuan did not deny it, saying, ¡°Not to hide from you two, before bing a disciple, I was the deposed prince of the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty!¡± Lu Rang also said with a carefree attitude, ¡°Before bing a disciple, I was an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect!¡± Hearing this, both the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao were even more shocked. ¡°I¡¯ve vaguely heard that the deposed prince of the Saint Dragon Imperial Dynasty, whose Dragon Soul was defective and unable to cultivate, but Young Master Long, your aura¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao began with some surprise. Even though he was already at the Almost Immortal level, he could now feel the surging, incredibly strong Dragon Soul energy in Long Zixuan¡¯s body, and moreover, his cultivation level had reached the Venerable Realm! At the same time, he also nced at Lu Rang. An outer disciple from the Divine Sword Sect should be at the lowest level, yet Lu Rang had also achieved the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven! A deposed prince and a lowly outer disciple, possessing such cultivation levels? How is anyone else supposed to live! But Long Zixuan justughed and said, ¡°Indeed, our progress is all thanks to our master¡¯s grace!¡± Hearing this, both Saint Lord Lingchao and the Yuanyang Holy Lord showedplicated expressions, but their doubts were instantly dispelled. ¡°Right, how could Senior Li¡¯s disciples be judged bymon standards!¡± Yuanyang spoke out, but there was a faint hint of envy in his old eyes. Even the useless can radiate extraordinary brilliance in Senior Li¡¯s hands¡ It¡¯s a pity that I am really too old. His heart was filled with regret. Soon, the third day arrived! Today was the day when the Southern Territory and the four major territories had set for the decisive battle among the younger generation! This battle would determine the ownership of the Southern Territory! Chapter 73 - 68 Lu Rang Goes to Battle_1 Chapter 73: Chapter 68 Lu Rang Goes to Battle_1 Trantor: 549690339 | The third day arrived. Today, all eyes were on the scene as the storm clouds gathered! Almost all the major powers in the Xuantian Realm were hurrying to the Taiyan Holy Land. Since the decision three days ago that the younger generation would determine the distribution of resources, the strongest young disciples from all the major sects had been intensifying their training. Today, they would all participate! Outside the Taiyan Holy Land, Yu Kong Flying Ships kept arriving, transforming the grand Taiyan Holy Land into something akin to a bustling market. ¡°Ximo Kongming Temple has arrived!¡± ¡°Central State Cihang Holy Abode has arrived!¡± ¡°Central State Saint Dragon Dynasty has arrived!¡± ¡°Dugu Family has arrived!¡± ¡°Divine Sword Sect has arrived!¡± One by one, the major powers arrived. In the Taiyan Holy Land, a huge Martial Arts Stage had been built. The Martial Arts Stage was several kilometers wide and constructed from the hardest Iron Spirit Stones. Strengthened by the power of the Taiyan Holy Land Array, it could withstand the impact of Venerable-level strikes! Surrounding the Martial Arts Stage, the tiered spectator seats were already filled with people. In the most central area, seats for the Sect Masters and leaders were arranged. At this moment, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had already taken their seats, and sitting between them were Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning. Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert, Dugu Chenlu from Central Province, Master of Cihang Abode, and others, took their seats one after another. ¡°Divine Sword Sect has arrived!¡± A loud call announced Cao Yijian leading several elders and three young people with imposing auras. His old face was filled with an air of arrogance, sending a cold smile toward Ling Chao and Yuanyang as he said, ¡°I hope the useless disciples of your two sects manage tost a little longer today.¡± ¡°Noisy!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao retorted coldly, ¡°It¡¯s still not certain who the deer will fall to!¡± ¡± Heh, no matter whom the deer falls to, it definitely won¡¯t be to anyone from your Southern Territory powers.¡± At that moment, Luofu Holy Master also came over with a cold smile, saying, ¡°Today is a good day; the Southern Territory is about to change hands!¡± He wore an expression as if the victory was already in his grasp! Both Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s faces darkened. ¡°Since everyone is here, can we start the battle now?¡± Luofu Holy Master spoke up. ¡°Begin the battle!¡± A loud shout rose! ¡°Little Monk Qing Chen, on behalf of the Western Desert, seeks to learn from the fellow Daoists of the world!¡± A monk with a refined appearancended on the stage. His demeanor was transcendent, making him look quite extraordinary. ¡°The leader of the Holy Buddha Nine Sons from the Western Desert? It is said that this man possesses the grace of the Immortal Path and has been hidden away by the Kongming Temple all this time; he has actually entered the battle today!¡± ¡°This battle decides the resource distribution of the Southern Territory; all the great sects must send their strongest!¡± The crowd discussed among themselves! ¡°Cihang Holy Abode¡¯s Kong Yujie, seeks instruction from the Holy Monk!¡± A woman in a white dress wearing a veiled face floated onto the stage, sword in hand. ¡°Cihang Holy Maiden Kong Yujie, a woman who could be considered an immortal!¡± ¡°My goddess, if someone could win her hand, that would truly be the fortune of ten lifetimes¡¯ cultivation!¡± Kong Yujie also drew a round of exmations. ¡°Please.¡± Qing Chen extended his hand. The long sword in Kong Yujie¡¯s hand instantly turned into a whistling sword light! The two immediately intertwined! One a monk detached from the world, the other a holy maiden pure as snow! They instantly unleashed the battle power of the Hollow Void Realm! ¡°So powerful!¡± ¡°Truly a pair of peerless geniuses!¡± ¡°At this age, possessing Hollow Void Level battle power, perhaps in the future they could reach the Supreme level, even venturing into the Immortal Path!¡± This caused a session of gasps! The two exchanged moves, each one more brilliant than thest. The monk Qing Chen fought with a majestic Buddha-like aura, while Kong Yujie wielded a radiance of five colors. ¡°Lady, you have lost.¡± But in the end, with a single statement from Qing Chen, Kong Yujie¡¯s sword was finally flicked away by a snap of his fingers. ¡°Thank you for showing mercy.¡± After speaking, Kong Yujie turned and left without any hint of reluctance. The crowd below praised the excitement of the match! ¡°Just a bunch of chickens pecking at each other!¡± However, Cao Yijian loudly said, ¡°Zhang Dujian, go and put an end to this boring contest!¡± Behind him, Zhang Dujian instantly turned into a divine rainbow, directly descending onto the stage! He drew his sword! A powerful and direct aura instantly radiated, causing a shiver in the hearts of countless people! ¡°Heaven, Mahayana Realm!¡± ¡°The Mahayana Realm¡ The Mahayana Eightfold Heaven?!¡± ¡°How is this possible?!¡± For a moment, countless people were shocked and lost their color! The Mahayana Realm Eightfold Heaven! Such cultivation level is truly terrifying! The whole venue fell silent. Everyone was staring with their mouths agape. ¡°An exceptional genius¡ This is a true exceptional genius, no wonder the Divine Sword Sect is so confident¡¡± The Cihang Saint Lord spoke reluctantly, sighing deeply. ¡°Looking through ancient history, there are few who have such cultivation¡¡± Dugu Chenlu also murmured. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Zhang Dujian sneered proudly, ¡°Little monk, will you roll down yourself or shall I help you?¡± Upon hearing this, Qing Chen¡¯s face turned ugly! He bit his lower lip, and suddenly, he raised his hand, unleashing all his power! A fight was inevitable! But, Zhang Dujian just sneered and swept his sword! The sword light shed out! ¡°Puh-¡± Qing Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, flew backward, and smashed heavily in front of the spectators¡¯ seats, his monk¡¯s robe torn and his flesh a bloody mess! ¡°Qing Chen!¡± With just a sh, the Saint Teacher Kongming was already beside Qing Chen, cradling him, trembling in his old eyes. ¡°He¡ is crippled!¡± The Saint Teacher Kongming uttered sorrowfully! In an instant, the whole ce was in an uproar! With just one sword strike, the prodigy Qing Chen was crippled! Everyone was shaken. ¡°This is the Mahayana Realm¡¯s crushing of the Hollow Void Realm.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a chasm that can¡¯t be bridged.¡± ¡°No one can rival Zhang Dujian now.¡± Everyone sighed with emotion. ¡± Hehe, leaving him with his life is already my mercy!¡± Zhang Dujian sneered, looked around the venue arrogantly, and said, ¡°Is there anyone who doesn¡¯t ept this and wants to fight?!¡± The venue was deadly silent. No one dared to challenge him. The Dust-Clearing Monk represented the strength of the most top-notch elites, but in front of Zhang Dujian, he truly couldn¡¯t withstand a single blow, so who would dare to seek death? In Dugu Family, next to Dugu Chen, a silent white-clothed youth was clutching the long sword in his hands, ready to step forward, but Dugu Chen took hold of his sword and shook his head: ¡°The Realm suppression is overwhelming; he cannot be matched!¡± The white-clothed youth remained silent for a long time before ultimately giving up. Unrivaled in the entire venue! The disciples of Wu Ming from the Luofu Holy Land, though willing to fight, remained silent because the Luofu Holy Master didn¡¯t speak ¨C after all, they were on the same side. ¡°Hehe, does no one dare toe forward?¡± Zhang Dujian looked directly at the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land, ¡°Have the people of the Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land all died out?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re too afraid to fight, then from today onward, get out of the Southern Territory and hand over all the resources there!¡± His arrogance was extreme! At this moment, Cao Yijian also said directly, ¡°Yuanyang, Ling Chao, your disciples are no match for our sect¡¯s prodigies. Kneel down, admit defeat, and I might let you linger in the Southern Territory!¡± His triumph was extreme! The Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao both fell silent for a moment. Indeed, they had not expected that the Divine Sword Sect would have such a disciple; it was too horrifying¡ ¡°It seems that behind the Divine Sword Sect, there really is a formidable person pushing things forward. I¡¯m beginning to doubt that their goals are as simple as they seem¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke thoughtfully, ¡°Fortunately, all of this is obviously within Senior Li¡¯s expectation!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why he sent disciples here!¡± Hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao nodded and turned to look at Mu Qianning and others, ¡°From now on, we can only trouble the disciples of Senior Li.¡± Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit nodded. Then, standing behind them, Lu Rang stepped forward. ¡°Zhang Dujian, I, Lu Rang, challenge you!¡± He dered immediately! At once, everyone in the venue was startled! At this time, someone still dared toe forward seeking death?! Chapter 74 - 69 You All Go Together _1 Chapter 74: Chapter 69 You All Go Together _1 Trantor: 549690339 I Lu Rang stepped forward, his voice thundering through the arena, and in that moment, all eyes turned in shock to him! ¡°Lu Rang? Isn¡¯t this boy an outer sect disciple of our Divine Sword Sect? Wasn¡¯t he sent to the Cangli Mountain Range? He should have died there¡¡± An elder from the Divine Sword Sect eximed in surprise, recognizing Lu Rang! At these words, Cao Yijian burst into wildughter, saying, ¡°Haha, hahaha¡ How ridiculous! The Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land, have they really run out of people? Lu Rang, this boy, is nothing but a dog of our sect!¡± ¡°To think that this dog, having betrayed the sect, was actually taken in by you.¡± ¡°And to let him stand in for you? Trulyughable.¡± His face was full of mockery, heaping uninhibited insults on Lu Rang! Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s expression turned dark as he said, ¡°Cao Yijian, I hope you won¡¯t regret the words you¡¯re saying now!¡± ¡°Regret? Because of him?¡± He scoffed, looking at Lu Rang, ¡°You¡¯re nothing but an outcast of our sect, how dare you collude with outsiders. It¡¯s not toote to take your own life!¡± At these words, Lu Rang let out a coldugh and said, ¡°Old bastard, you¡¯re celebrating too soon!¡± With that, he transformed into a rainbow light, and in the blink of an eye,nded on the tform. His aura was also released, which was very powerful, not at all inferior to Zhang Dujian! ¡°Heavens, the Mahayana Realm?!¡± ¡°Another in the Mahayana Realm?¡± ¡°It seems¡ they are both in the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven? How is this possible!¡± In an instant, the crowd gasped! Everyone was shocked. How is this possible¡ ¡°Does the Divine Sword Sect have so many geniuses¡ Zhang Dujian alone is already causing despair, and now a renegade from their sect also possesses such strength¡¡± ¡°Luckly, fortunately, this person has already betrayed the sect. Otherwise, the future of the Divine Sword Sect would truly be daunting!¡± ¡°Such a strong genius, to be discarded by the Divine Sword Sect? That¡¯s really interesting¡¡± The crowd all started discussing! Cao Yijian was also taken aback for a moment! This renegade, he had reached the Mahayana Eightfold Heaven? He immediately looked doubtfully at the elder from the Divine Sword Sect who had recognized Lu Rang. It was this elder who had sent Lu Rang on a death mission. ¡°Sect Master¡ this is impossible, before this he was nothing but a waste at the Foundation Establishment level of the outer sect¡¡± The elder instantly panicked. Lu Rang was clearly so worthless, only sent to his death to save sect resources¡ How could he suddenly transform into an unparalleled genius of the Mahayana Realm? This was simply impossible! ¡°Heh, what¡¯s there to fear, trash will always be trash, he can¡¯t possibly be a match for Junior Brother Zhang,¡± Xia Tong interjected coldly. Cao Yijian nodded, despite some surprise, this didn¡¯t change anything. Behind them, the middle-aged man wearing a linen undergarment beneath his outer robe was now watching the tform with calmness. ¡°A dog-like outer sect nobody dares to challenge me?¡± ¡°Do you really think, you ant, that you canpare with a giant dragon?!¡± Zhang Dujian was furious to the extreme, gripping his sword, drawing upon endless Sword Qi! Sword Qi soared like a rainbow, he struck out with a ferocious sh! For a moment, the air roared, winds shrieked, and the Sword Qi tore through everything! He erupted with full power, aiming to y Lu Rang with a single strike! But Lu Rang suddenly closed his eyes! In his mind, there was only one image. ¡ªThat was the sight of his teacher tilling the fields! Raising the hoe, the great Dao roared! Lowering the hoe, it was as light as a feather! His hands evolved! In his hands suddenly appeared a hoe made of condensed Spiritual Energy. Then, the hoe swung as if digging through the earth! At the moment the hoe swung, the overwhelming Sword Qi that filled the sky all evaporated! Zhang Dujian¡¯s pupils contracted violently, watching the scene before him in disbelief. He didn¡¯t have time to react when the hoe, carrying an unstoppable digging force, came crashing down! ¡°No¡ª¡± Zhang Dujian cried out loudly, and in the next moment, he was sent flying through the air! ¡°Bang!¡± He crashed heavily in front of the spectator seats, no different from the just defeated Dust-Clearing Monk! ¡°Dujian!¡± At the Divine Sword Sect, an elder shouted, instantly turning into a streak of light andnding next to Zhang Dujian. He picked up Zhang Dujian, but his expression was extremely ugly. ¡°His meridians are all broken¡ He¡¯s done for!¡± Done for! As this word was spoken, the entire venue was in uproar! ¡°Heavens, what happened? Zhang Dujian is so strong, yet he couldn¡¯t withstand even one strike from Lu Rang? That¡¯s terrifying¡¡± ¡°Both are at the Mahayana Realm Eightfold Heaven, but the strength of the two is worlds apart¡¡± ¡°This is too bizarre, isn¡¯t it? This Lu Rang, he actually condensed a Spiritual Power hoe? Other powerhouses condense swords and such, you know¡¡± ¡°Why did I feel like I was witnessing a supreme being the moment he swung that hoe¡¡± For a time, everyone was discussing fervently, looking at Lu Rang with disbelief! How is this possible? Mahayana Eightfold Heaven versus Eightfold Heaven, and to lose so quickly¡ It was practically a seckill! Overwhelming! Even Lu Rang himself was stupefied at this moment. Mom¡ Am I really that powerful? Zhang Dujian, also a Mahayana Eightfold Heaven, was incapacitated by me in one strike¡ At this moment, he was truly shocked. ¡°My mentor is really too terrifying. I¡¯m just earnestly imitating his movements, I can¡¯t even achieve one in ten millionth of his strength, yet I am already invincible among my peers¡¡± While feeling awed by his mentor¡¯s terror, his heart also surged with confidence instantaneously! Now, he was no longer the good-for-nothing he used to be! On the main stage, Cao Yijian also stood up abruptly, staring at Lu Rang with shock in his eyes! ¡°This¡¡± He was shocked. Zhang Dujian was already so strong, how could he be killed in a second¡ Cao Yijian subconsciously turned to look at the middle-aged man standing behind him. But the middle-aged man just said coldly, ¡°Keep yourposure.¡± The middle-aged man was also looking at Lu Rang on the field, a thoughtful look in his eyes. ¡°The technique he has just disyed¡ carries a faint sense of nascent Dao¡ Could it be¡¡± He wasn¡¯t quite sure in his heart, and turned to look at Luo Ming. However, he saw that Luo Ming¡¯s face also held a look of deep contemtion and gravity! ¡°Behind thisd, there must be a true master, likely the one we¡¯re looking for¡ Continue probing!¡± Luo Ming immediately issued the order! Cao Yijian, upon receiving the order, looked somewhat troubled; Lu Rang was too strong, which left him feeling uneasy¡ But he dared not disobey and could only say with a grave voice, ¡°Xia Tong, you go!¡± However, Xia Tong¡¯s face turned deathly pale in an instant, ¡°Ancestor¡ I¡¯m afraid, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m no match for him¡¡± Her Cultivation Level was simr to Zhang Dujian¡¯s, who couldn¡¯t even withstand the other¡¯s one strike¡ She was already scared! ¡°You!¡± Cao Yijian was anything but pleased. Meanwhile, on the stage, Lu Rang surveyed the entire venue, filled with unparalleled confidence. He said, ¡°Does Divine Sword Sect have any more disciples to send forth? Come at me, all together!¡± Chapter 75 - 70 Chopsticks? No, This is an Immortal Artifact!_1 Chapter 75: Chapter 70 Chopsticks? No, This is an Immortal Artifact!_1 Trantor: 549690339 I You alle at me together! Lu Rang¡¯s words were light as if a breeze passing through clouds, yet to everyone¡¯s ears, they rang out with outrageous arrogance! It was sheer contempt for the entire Divine Sword Sect! All faces were painted withplex expressions. On the main stage, Cao Yijian was furious to the extreme. ¡°Cao Shuang, go kill him!¡± He couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and spoke out in anger! Cao Shuang had already reached the Venerable Realm. He had intended to reveal Cao Shuang at the end, but now it seemed he couldn¡¯t wait any longer! Cao Shuang nodded, ready to step forward. ¡°Hold on.¡± At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up, producing two swords from his sleeve and handing them to Cao Shuang and Xia Tong, ¡°You two go up together!¡± To bestow treasures and alsomand two people to attack together! Seeing this, Cao Yijian instantly rejoiced, ¡°Is¡ Is that a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?! This is perfect! The boy is as good as dead!¡± Cao Shuang and Xia Tong both epted the swords, their hearts surging with excitement. To think that their master bestowed upon them Quasi-Immortal Artifacts! It was known that there weren¡¯t many Quasi-Immortal Artifacts in the entire Xuantian Realm; they were considered part of the foundation of the major Holy Lands¡ and yet they were now fortunate enough to wield them in battle! ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± The two of them thanked him and then transformed into two arcs of rainbow light, immediately appearing on the arena! ¡°You piece of trash, you¡¯re courting death!¡± Xia Tong¡¯s delicate shout was released along with her aura! Mahayana Eightfold Heaven! Instantly, the whole ce was shaken once again. The Divine Sword Sect actually had another young powerhouse of Eightfold Heaven in the Mahayana Realm; it was too terrifying! But before the crowd could react, the dreadful aura from Cao Shuang burst forth just as fiercely, causing the Iron Spirit Stone-paved arena to tremble slightly! ¡°Heavens, a Venerable?!¡± ¡°How is this possible¡ Cao Shuang is barely in his twenties, not yet thirty, and he has reached the Venerable Realm? The first person in history!¡± ¡°Has heaven favored the Divine Sword Sect too much¡? Is the Divine Sword Sect going to be the supreme sect? Unbeatable!¡± The entire ce was in an uproar, everyone was extremely shocked! The younger generation felt utterly overshadowed at this moment; they understood that this was a height they could never reach. The older generation was left gawking in astonishment. After all, many old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years had not broken through to the Venerable Realm¡ At this moment, Cao Shuang became the star of the venue. With an icy demeanor as though he were the master of all he surveyed, he let out a coldugh and said, ¡°Lu Rang, is it? I¡¯ve heard that up until now, you were nothing but a piece of trash in our outer sect who looked after spiritual nts¡ I¡¯ll give you a chance. Kneel before me now, be my follower, and I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± So condescending! Sensing Cao Shuang¡¯s cultivation level, Lu Rang too was taken aback for a moment, but that was all it took! He quickly regained hisposure, his face showing a look of disdain. A Venerable? One of his senior sisters was a Supreme, and the other was Almost Immortal! And as for himself, with such an invincible master who ruled over heaven and earth, would breaking through to the Venerable Realm be difficult? ¡°Idiot, do you really think you have the right to be so presumptuous? Do you want to die?¡± He spoke disdainfully. Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang¡¯s face twitched instantly! Murderous intent flooded out like water! ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I shall grant you death!¡± He whispered, ¡°Junior sister, let¡¯s attack together as the master instructed¡ª ¡± Just before, the mastermanded them to use the Quasi-Immortal Swords together to strike down Lu Rang in one blow! ¡°Alright!¡± Xia Tong nodded, drawing the long sword in her hand! The moment the long sword was unsheathed, an elusive air of the Immortal Path suddenly surged out! ¡°A Quasi-Immortal Sword!¡± Someone eximed instantly! ¡°Is the Divine Sword Sect really using a Quasi-Immortal Sword? How can they do this!¡± ¡°That¡¯s too bullying! It¡¯s not fair!¡± ¡°With a Quasi-Immortal Sword in hand, even a Mahayana Realm practitioner could battle a Supreme, this is too overbearing.¡± Many cried out in disbelief. But the next moment, the crowd was rendered speechless by shock, for Cao Shuang too drew his sword, another Quasi-Immortal Sword! Two Quasi-Immortal Swords! The spectators were overwhelmed with shock! ¡°Overwhelming numbers, overwhelming realms¡ and now with Quasi- Immortal Swords, is the Divine Sword Sect hell-bent on killing Lu Rang?¡± ¡°It¡¯s understandable. If Lu Rang grows up, he¡¯d definitely be a nightmare for the Divine Sword Sect.¡± ¡°Lu Rang can be considered a peerless genius as well, who would have thought he¡¯d end up dying like this¡¡± The crowd buzzed with conversation. On the main stage, Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao also stood up sharply, fury shing in their eyes. ¡°Give our sect¡¯s Quasi-Immortal Artifact to Young Master Lu Rang immediately!¡± Saint Lord Lingchaomanded! But beside him, Long Zixuan was already shaking his head, ¡°There¡¯s no need for concern from the two Saint Lords.¡± Hearing his remark, both frowned, but soon rxed again. That¡¯s right¡ Lu Rang is Senior Li¡¯s disciple¡ Would heck a Quasi-Immortal Artifact¡? They sat back down. All eyes were now focused on the tform. ¡°Heh, today, you¡¯re doomed¡ you¡¯re finished!¡± Cao Shuang sneered, raising his long sword and unleashing the supreme ferocity of the Quasi-Immortal Sword to strike down at Lu Rang! Xia Tong also made her move, with the Quasi-Immortal Sword¡¯s light forming a long rainbow that shot toward Lu Rang, tearing through everything! With the Quasi-Immortal Swords unleashed, the sky changed color. Their might was overwhelming, the arena trembled! Watching this scene, Lu Rang merely let out a coldugh. In full view of the crowd, suddenly, a chopstick appeared in Lu Rang¡¯s hand¡ªa chopstick that looked utterly ordinary! Facing the destructive power unleashed by the two Quasi-Immortal Swords, he simply gripped the chopstick lightly, then made a forward sh! With that one sh¡ª Suddenly, the entire space of the arena seemed to be sliced apart! Space debris cascaded down! The sword light and killing intent of the Quasi-Immortal Sword vanished in an instant! Cao Shuang and Xia Tong, witnessing this scene, werepletely dumbfounded! They saw an unstoppable scratching their way! ¡°No!¡± Cao Shuang let out a loud cry, the Quasi-Immortal Sword attempting to block! But, in the next moment, the Quasi-Immortal Sword was like tofu, cleanly sliced into two halves by that scratch¡ªCao Shuang could even see how even the cut was! The next moment, he suddenly felt a warmth around his neck, and he subconsciously tried to look down, but as soon as he lowered his head, it fell right off! Next to him, Xia Tong stared dumbly at the severed Quasi-Immortal Sword in her hand, heard the noise beside her, and turned her head to look. Her body split open as she turned. Both perished! At this moment, the entire ce fell into sudden silence. It was quiet, the whole world was quiet. Everyone looked at the arena, dumbstruck. ¡°That is¡ a chopstick? A single chopstick¡ lightly shed and severed two Quasi-Immortal Artifacts¡¡± ¡°It must be at least an Immortal Artifact. Where did Lu Rang get an Immortal Artifact from? Could it be that there¡¯s an Immortal behind him?¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡ the three great prodigies of Divine Sword Sect, all rendered useless!¡± As realization set in, the crowd was in an uproar! Everyone was speechless! Divine Sword Sect¡¯s Cao Yijian was stunned, he slumped down into his seat, looking devastated. Behind him, a middle-aged man¡¯s eyes suddenly shot out a brilliant light! ¡°Merely one, and it¡¯s already a treasure surpassing that of True Immortal ss¡¡± He looked over towards Luo Ming! Luo Ming was also extremely shocked at this moment. In this small Taiyan Holy Land, Immortal Artifacts had emerged one after another, surpassing True Immortal ss. ¡°We must get our hands on this Immortal Artifact!¡± ¡°As long as we get it, the existence behind it all wille to light.¡± Luo Ming said gravely, immediately turning to look at Wu Ming and another from Luofu Holy Land: ¡°The two of you, go!¡± Wu Ming and hispanion, still in shock, suddenly felt a sense of rm upon these words! The one just now was of Venerable status, Cao Yijian, wielding a Quasi- Immortal Sword, yet he was killed¡ ¡°Taking this pill, you both will advance a step further; besides, this master will bestow upon you True Immortal ss Immortal Artifacts!¡± Luo Ming spoke outright, granting them pills and treasures! He was ready to invest heavily¡ªknowing that even as a True Immortal, the True Immortal ss Magical Treasures he could refine numbered only two or three! Now, he was prepared to give out two! And the pills were forbidden pills, after taking them, indeed Wu Ming and hispanion¡¯s cultivation levels would rise significantly, but they could only maintain it for an hour, after which they would both die and not even Immortals could save them! Wu Ming and the other, overjoyed, hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Luo Ming said, ¡°And you two need not worry, that Magical Treasure in Lu Rang¡¯s hands has sucked dry all his Spiritual Energy; he¡¯s now a wastrel.¡± This was also the reason he dared to send them into battle. If he hadn¡¯t seen that Lu Rang¡¯s Spiritual Power was exhausted, let alone Wu Ming, even he wouldn¡¯t dare to make a move directly¡ªthat chopstick¡ was too terrifying. Wu Ming and the other nodded, thennded directly onto the arena. ¡± Wu Ming and Cen Ao of Luofu Holy Lande to battle you!¡± They dered. Having finished speaking, the two took the pills on the spot! ¡°Boom¡ª¡± Their auras, in an instant, surged from the Mahayana Realm to the Venerable Realm! Two Great Venerables! Truly terrifying! The audience was in shock. ¡°What kind of Immortal Elixir is that? It can actually elevate them from the Mahayana Realm to the Venerable Realm¡¡± ¡°Incredible, what kind of entities are behind Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve suddenly realized, just relying on Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land, it¡¯s impossible for them to have such a foundation¡ they¡¯re just puppets!¡± At this moment, everyone was abuzz with discussion! Along with their shock, many clear-minded people were also aware that behind Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land, there were unknown entities! This waspletely againstmon sense. Both Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land had simultaneously produced a total of five prodigious disciples exceeding the Mahayana Realm? And they were giving away Quasi-Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Elixirs just like that? The thought itself was impossible! ¡°Perhaps, we have been used by others¡¡± Cihang Saint Lord was murmuring at this moment, looking towards Dugu Chenlu. Dugu Chenlu looked apprehensive and said, ¡°I sensed a familiar aura¡¡± It was the same aura he felt when his sword shed against the unknown presence during the cmitous destruction of the four territories and the obliteration of numerous Holy Lands, the aura when he was counterattacked¡ But at this moment, he dared not speak out! Because it meant¡ the True Immortal entity that destroyed countless Holy Lands in the four territories could very well be among them here! ¡°Can the so-called power that supposedly intimidates everything in the Southern Territory truly intimidate everything?¡± He murmured in his heart, his palms already sweating. On the arena. Wu Ming and Cen Ao stared at Lu Rang! Eyeing the chopstick in Lu Rang¡¯s hands, their eyes were filled with extreme greed. ¡°Put down the chopstick and kneel to surrender!¡± Wu Ming threatened! ¡°Go to hell, Second Elder!¡± Lu Rang responded, but his voicecked strength; that chopstick was too terrifying. That single strike had nearly exhausted all his Spiritual Power! He had no strength left for another battle! ¡°Then go and die¡ª ¡± Cen Ao approached with a Magical Treasure in his hand! ¡°Hold on!¡± At that moment, a clear voice rang out from the main stage, and Long Zixuan stepped forward, saying, ¡°I¡¯ll take this battle for my junior brother¡ª ¡± Having said that, he appeared on the arena in a sh of rainbow light! His Venerable Realm aura was unleashed, in no way inferior to the others! Apanied by an implicit presence of golden dragon energy. The entire ce boiled over with excitement once more! Chapter 76 - 71: Annihilating True Immortal with One Strike_1 Chapter 76: Chapter 71: Annihting True Immortal with One Strike_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Just when everyone thought Lu Rang had exhausted his strength, unable to match the power of the two Venerables, Long Zixuan suddenly appeared. Moreover, upon his arrival, he disyed the strength of a Venerable! ¡°Long Zixuan¡ Isn¡¯t this person the discarded prince of the Saint Dragon Dynasty?¡± ¡°How did he be sworn brothers with Lu Rang? And how has his strength be so formidable?¡± ¡°What sort of fortuitous encounter did these two have, who did they take as their master?¡± Everyone was abuzz with discussion. On the main stage. The Emperor of the Saint Dragon Dynasty, LongXiaotian, Long Zixuan¡¯s birth father, was now deeply shaken, his tiger-like eyes filled with disbelief! How could this be possible! His own son¡ hadn¡¯t he been crippled? He subconsciously turned to look at the Empress beside him! Seeing this, the Empress¡¯s face flushed with panic as she said, ¡°Your Majesty, I have no idea¡ Before he left, he was clearly just a Golden Core Realm waste, as you know, keeping him around would only bring shame to our Imperial Family!¡± Long Xiaotian¡¯s face darkened, but he remained silent, just quietly watching the stage! In his heart, however, regret surged like a tidal wave! The appearance of Long Zixuan caught Wu Ming and Cen Ao off guard. However, both were very confident! ¡°Hehe, a Venerable? What a shame, you¡¯re by yourself!¡± ¡°Today, you¡¯re doomed to die!¡± They spoke coldly! ¡°mor.¡± Long Zixuan, however, simply responded with a cold voice, ¡°Lu Rang, you step down first.¡± Lu Rang nodded, immediately saying, ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll leave them to you, kill them!¡± After speaking, he left the arena. ¡°Let¡¯s test the depths of his waters!¡± At this moment, Luo Ming on the main stage suddenly transmitted his voice to Wu Ming and the others on the arena. The dragon aura emanating from Long Zixuan had piqued his curiosity. ¡°Die!¡± Cen Ao made his move in an instant! Wu Ming also stepped forward! Both unleashed powerful magical treasures, Wu Ming conjured a giant seal, while Cen Ao¡¯s spiritual power transformed into raging waves, crashing forward! These were techniques they had learned from Luo Ming, not of this realm, utterly terrifying. The Iron Spirit Stone-built arena was now starting to crack, the entire space trembling. ¡°I¡¯m afraid only a Supreme could catch this!¡± Someone eximed! But atop the arena, Long Zixuan was indifferent. In his mind, he remembered the small courtyard, the pond there, the trajectories of the goldfish swimming, the dragon shadows vieing for food¡ He lifted his hand. Dragon chants filled the air! The golden Dragon Soul burst forth, coiled in midair, mighty beyond measure, resplendent like an ancient True Dragon! Hand descended! The fierce dragon danced, its might shaking the heavens, a dragon¡¯s roar copsing Wu Ming¡¯s giant seal and dissipating Cen Ao¡¯s raging waves; both men spewed blood, retreating over a dozen steps with ashen faces! Long Zixuan had not even made a move; it was merely the might of the Dragon Soul that had defeated the two! Everyone was dumbstruck. ¡°Heaven, what kind of magical technique is this¡ ¡± Impossible, impossible¡¡± ¡± who is the unparalleled genius that has taught Long Zixuan and Lu Rang?!¡± Everyone was in awe! At this moment, even Luo Ming and the other True Immortal could not sit still! The two exchanged nces, each seeing the color of terror in the other¡¯s eyes. ¡°True Dragon Technique¡ Is this the legendary True Dragon Technique?!¡± The True Immortal spoke, his voice trembling. ¡°I understand now, Ipletely understand. In the Xuantian Realm, there must be an ancient giant dragon. Even more, that giant dragon¡¯s bloodline might be very close to that of the ancient True Dragons! Luo Ming, at this moment, revealed an expression of great enlightenment, yet it was filled with horror and gravity! -He was certain that this was an ancient giant dragon, and it had kinship with the True Dragon n, but it could not be a True Dragon! Because the True Dragon n once proudly reigned above the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, capable of ying Immortal Kings! Latterly, due to the legendary forbidden catastrophe, they were utterly annihted, and the significant beings above the Immortal Domain searched all of heaven but found no trace of the Dragon n. The consensus in the Immortal Domain was that the catastrophe targeting the Dragon n was too terrifying; the pure-blooded True Dragons were all extinguished, and even if there were any dragons clinging on desperately, they surely were hybrid giants! The legends concerning the Dragon n never ceased! And now, in this insignificant Xuantian Realm, could there possibly be one lurking? If this news were to spread, it would rm both heaven and earth! ¡°Capture him, capture him!¡± Luo Ming bellowed directly toward Wu Ming and Cen Ao on the stage, his eyes bloodshot! Catching Long Zixuan might lead to the trace of the giant dragon, and possibly to acquiring the treasures of the True Dragon n-a supreme immortal fate! On the fighting tform. Wu Ming and Cen Ao were also roaring at this moment, their treasures in hand suddenly bursting forth with a horrifying peerless power! In Wu Ming¡¯s hand was an iron seal engraved with profound immortal runes! The moment the iron seal was revealed, the tform, which could withstand battles of the venerables, exploded with a tremendous st, showering debris in all directions! Cen Ao held a golden, glittering divine mace in his hand! The divine mace, carrying a terrifying aura of metallic yang, swung once, and countless spatial fragments shattered, even the white clouds floating above Taiyan Holy Land were blown apart with a bang! All the cultivators on the field were almost kneeling at this moment, unable to look directly at the majesty of these True Immortal magical treasures! The entire field fell into fearful silence! However, on the tform. Long Zixuan remained indifferent, suddenly taking out a ck and unimpressive zing Staff! Facing the iing endless terrifying forces, he lifted the staff and swung it down over his head! ¡°Boom boom boom boom¡ª¡± Space exploded massively, and the piercing st sounded like crashing waves! With a single strike, Wu Ming and his True Immortal Iron Seal evaporated instantly! Cen Ao had just enough time to let out a shrill cry of terror before his Mysterious Gold Divine Mace melted into molten gold, and he himself disintegrated in distortion! The force continued unabated, and the entire Saint Mountain of Taiyan Holy Land split asunder! The terrifying shockwave shook the surrounding mountains as if heralding the end of the world! On the main stage, Cao Yijian, Luofu Holy Master, and the others were prostrated on the ground, shivering, unable to lift their heads. ¡°No¡ Could this be the legendary staff? The same staff that once reigned invincible across the southern heavens of the Immortal Domain?¡± A True Immortal beside Luo Ming felt his knees tremble, almost ready to kneel! ¡°Yes! It must be¡ it must be! To obtain it is to dominate¡ This is mine, mine¡¡± Greedy desire zed in Luo Ming¡¯s eyes as he suddenly flew toward the zing Staff! Another True Immortal also made a move, intending to snatch the extremely significant staff alongside him-nothing else mattered to them but to take it! But as they approached, they were engulfed in the aftermath of the blow from the staff. ¡°Alih-¡± Even the faintest ripple now wrought a horrific ying on the two of them! They screamed, their True Immortal cultivation levels bursting forth, trying to resist! The entirety of Taiyan Holy Land trembled with the fearsome might of the two! Yet, the zing Staff in Long Zixuan¡¯s hand merely trembled slightly. A strand of aura was released. Luo Ming and the other True Immortal suddenly burst into a mist of blood! Their souls and spirits were obliterated! Between heaven and earth, blood rained down. Taiyan Holy Land. As if it had endured a terrifying disaster. Pces turned to rubble, and martial fields to ash. Even the Holy Mountain had copsed at one corner. Overlooking the entire venue, all but Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were kneeling on the ground¡ The entire Taiyan Holy Land fell silent. Chapter 77 - 72: The Power of the Hairpin_1 Chapter 77: Chapter 72: The Power of the Hairpin_1 Trantor: 549690339 | The entire Taiyan Holy Land had now fallen silent. The might caused by that strike still seemed to be spreading towards even farthernds. The Taiyan Holy Land had been turned into a pile of rubble. People from all major powers were almost all kneeling on the ground, silent as cicadas in winter, overwhelmed by emotion, the immense horror they had just experienced shaking their Dao hearts and rendering them incapable of resistance. A True Immortal Artifact destroyed¡ A True Immortal perished on the spot¡ A terrifying strike that nearly annihted everything¡ Looking around the entire scene, aside from Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, only Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning remained standing. They both carried items bestowed by Li Fan, which could help them resist that immense pressure. ¡°Oh my gosh¡ Is this zing Staff really so¡ so terrifying?¡± Lu Rang was utterly dazed. He knew that in his master¡¯s small courtyard, there was not a singlemon item, but could a mere zing Staff actually annihte a True Immortal so casually? He had thought that the chopsticks in his hand were already terrifying enough¡ ¡°Senior Li¡ what a grand move, annihting two more True Immortals¡¡± Fire Spirit muttered in shock, her mind shing back to thest time at the Ascension tform, where a calligraphy stroke brought down a True Immortal¡ To the Xuantian Realm, Immortals were entities to be worshipped, but to Senior Li, they were¡ being killed indiscriminately! ¡°I just knew it, with Senior Li here, all conspiracies are doomed to fail!¡± Mu Qianning clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed with excitement. Meanwhile, Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master had bepletely stupefied, their eyes filled with terror. Oh my God¡ What on earth is going on¡ Wiry are even the invincible True Immortals dying so casually, so quickly¡ Is this a dream? But not even in a dream would this be possible! What kind of terrifying entity is hidden in the Southern Territory? It¡¯s over! The two were instantly filled with despair! It was a long while before the people at the scene slowly came back to their senses. ¡°Heaven¡ was everything that just happened real? Who exactly are those two figures? What grade of supreme treasure is that staff?¡± A Sect Master mumbled to himself, looking at the scenery around him, seemingly unable to believe it was real. ¡°A battle that shocked the world¡ The energy emitted by the weapons of Wu Ming and Cen Ao just nowpletely surpassed Immortal Artifacts, and those two terrifying figures surpassed Immortals¡ Yet, they were annihted by a single strike?¡± ¡°What on earth is going on¡ Behind the Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land, there are such terrifying entities hidden¡ Who is the eminent person behind Lu Rang and Long Zixuan?¡± ¡°Is everything over now?¡± For a moment, everyone began talking,ing back to their senses but still in extreme shock and disbelief of everything in front of them! ¡°Brother Luofu¡ What on earth is going on?¡± Cihang Saint Lord asked Luofu Holy Master, her heart filled with countless doubts! ¡°¡I sensed from those two mysterious figures the same aura that destroyed Leiyin Temple in the Western Desert, the Divine Sword Sect and the Luofu Holy Land, we deserve an exnation!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming from the Western Desert¡¯s face no longer held its usual kindness, reced with solemn anger! Dugu Chenlu spoke harshly, ¡°If I¡¯m not sensing this wrongly, these two are the hidden hands behind the destruction of countless Holy Lands across the four territories!¡± At these words, everyone at the scene stared intently at Cao Yijian and the others! Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master both looked exceedingly troubled at this point. Without the protection of a True Immortal, and the peerless talents that had just emerged in their sects also dead¡ Especially, realizing that there was indeed an existence capable of annihting True Immortals in the Southern Territory, and now, they had made an enemy of it¡ They were virtually wishing for death. But now, they could only brazen it out, with the Luofu Holy Master saying, ¡°All of this has nothing to do with our two sects, we know nothing!¡± ¡°Yes, we arepletely unaware¡ Everything that happened just now has nothing to do with us!¡± Cao Yijian also hurriedly spoke up. Both of them were old foxes, understanding that the situation hadpletely inverted¡ Their biggest reliance was gone! We must disassociate ourselves, or else Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land might both bring disaster upon themselves! ¡°Unrted to you?¡± At this moment, Saint Lord Lingchao spoke coldly, ¡°Sounds easy! You thinkyou can simply shirk responsibility with just a few words?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord was even colder, ¡°Now that the truth is out, Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land have colluded with the masterminds behind the scenes, attempting to destroy the Southern Territory just as they sought to overthrow the four major territories, an unforgivable crime!¡± Everyone present looked icily at the Luofu Holy Master and Cao Yijian! Under the watchful eyes of all, witnessing with their own eyes, no one would believe their smooth talk. They¡¯ve now be public enemies! Without those masterminds behind the scenes, there was no need for the great forces of Xuantian Realm to flee to the Southern Territory. That Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect had colluded with them¡ Incurred the wrath of the masses! ¡°Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden, how should Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land be dealt with? Does Senior Li have any instructions?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao looked towards the two women, Mu Qianning. Mu Qianning shook her head, ¡°Senior Li did not say, but, since they have colluded with the masterminds, I think Senior Li will certainly not forgive them.¡± ¡°Please make the decision yourselves, Venerables.¡± She was kind-hearted, but it didn¡¯t mean she was foolish. ¡°Good!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao immediately said, ¡°From today forth, within Xuantian Realm, there is no longer Luofu Holy Land nor Divine Sword Sect!¡± These words, were as good as announcing the death sentence of Divine Sword Sect and Luofu Holy Land! Upon hearing this, everyone present shuddered. And the faces of Cao Yijian and the Luofu Holy Master turned utterly pale! Had ite to this in the end¡ Even their entire sect would be implicated¡ What did it matter that they were Almost Immortals now? Even True Immortals had been reduced to dust, even if they could withstand Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land, could they withstand the fury of that existence behind the Southern Territory? That terrifying existence, with just a flick of a finger, could erase all enemies¡ ¡°No¡ How could my Luofu Holy Land be destroyed because of this¡¡± The Luofu Holy Master¡¯s face showed pain, and suddenly, a furious light shed in his eyes! In the next moment, he suddenly made his move, appearing before Mu Qianning with unparalleled speed and reaching out to grab her! Seeing this, Cao Yijian also instantly understood and immediately followed suit! -They had all seen that it was Mu Qianning who truly decided their fate. As long as they captured Mu Qianning, using her as leverage, they could negotiate terms! The sudden move by the two Almost Immortals caught everyone off guard! Taken by surprise! Mu Qianning was startled as well! But she immediately extended her hand and slid the wooden hairpin from her hair, drawing it forward¡ª ¡°Pfft.pfft¡ª¡± Suddenly, blood sprayed! The very Cao Yijian and Luofu Holy Master who had just appeared before her both now had a line of blood on their throats, with blood spraying out! in their dying eyes, a look of utter disbelief, as if they couldn¡¯t believe that they were being killed by a girl who wasn¡¯t even a Supreme¡ With two thuds, the two Almost Immortals fell to the ground, as if prostrating themselves before Mu Qianning in a grand gesture of submission. But they, of course, would not be able to stand again. Dead,pletely! The people surrounding them were dumbstruck. The two Almost Immortals, striking at a Venerable, didn¡¯t evene close and turned into corpses¡ ¡°That wooden hairpin¡ is also an extremely terrifying Immortal Artifact?!¡± Someone murmured, utterly numb with shock! What¡¯s be of this world? Are Immortal Artifacts asmon as dirt now?! One after another, each capable of ughtering immortals¡ Chapter 78 - 73: The Hidden Master 1 Chapter 78: Chapter 73: The Hidden Master 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Both Almost Immortals died just like that, leaving everyone withplex expressions and numb from shock. Everything that happened today was beyond their imagination. ¡°I finally understand now, it¡¯s true that Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land said the Southern Territory possesses a power that can deter everything,¡± the Cihang Saint Lord murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with gravity as she bowed deeply to Mu Qianning: ¡°Cihang Holy Abode pays its respects to the Divine Maiden!¡± ¡°Previously deceived by Luofu Holy Land and the Divine Sword Sect, I nearly strayed onto the wrong path, please forgive my sins, Divine Maiden!¡± The Western Desert Empty Brightness Sanctum Master also chanted a Buddhist mantra and said, ¡°Only now do I realize that the true Great Sage of the Brahman Path resides in the Southern Territory!¡± His hands joined in prayer, he reverently said, ¡°I pay my respects to the Divine Maiden!¡± Even the reticent Dugu Chen, at this moment, bowed slightly and said, ¡°Thank you, Divine Maiden, for cutting down a great evil!¡± In an instant, all the powers present began to speak! ¡°We pay our respects to the Divine Maiden!¡± ¡°We pay our respects to the Divine Maiden!¡± They worshiped her fervently! When they first arrived in the Southern Territory, everyone couldn¡¯t understand why the formidable Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land would respect two young people who weren¡¯t even Venerables so greatly. They even doubted the power that both Holy Lands imed to be able to deter everything! Now they werepletely submissive and had thoroughly understood! Taiyan Holy Land? Ziyang Holy Land? The true master of the Southern Territory wasn¡¯t them at all! It was the terrifying existence behind this young girl! The items bestowed casually could eliminate True Immortals, and the ipetent disciples taken in casually became peers beyondpare in the blink of an eye¡ no one dared to imagine! Upon seeing this, Mu Qianning was somewhat astonished and hurriedly said, ¡°Your honors are too kind, there¡¯s no need for this.¡± ¡°We are all cultivators from the Xuantian Realm, of the same origin. As long as everyone can live harmoniously, that will be enough.¡± Listening to her words, a group of Saint Lords and Sect Masters, however, were all with solemn expressions: ¡°We will certainly remember the Divine Maiden¡¯s teachings!¡± Now, they regarded Mu Qianning¡¯s words as if they were divine decrees! Not to be vited! To offend this Divine Maiden was to offend the existence behind her¡ Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning smiled happily. As long as everyone could live in peace, she was reassured. ¡°This fight was not in vain.¡± File Spirit also smiled and said, ¡°Qian Ning, we should return to report to our senior.¡± Mu Qianning nodded and looked towards Long Zixuan and Lu Rang. Both of them had returned to the main tform and were smiling as they approached. The many Sect Masters and the like were all immensely respectful, clearing a path for them! They all understood that these two men must also be connected to that existence¡ ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s time for us to head back.¡± Long Zixuan spoke. Lu Rangughed and said, ¡°That was indeed a thrilling fight, haha¡ Come on, let¡¯s go back.¡± The group then turned to leave. ¡°Zi Xuan¡¡± At that moment, a tentative voice rang out. Long Zixuan turned around. He saw Long Xiaotian, the emperor of the Saint Dragon Dynasty, approaching with a trace of nervousness on his face, saying, ¡°My son, I¡¯m truly happy that you have grown to this stage¡ I have decided to make you the crown prince!¡± ¡°Return with me to the dynasty, you are our dynasty¡¯s pride!!¡± He offered a firm promise! Previously, even though he had such a son, he had never paid him any attention! For him, the emperor of his generation, the birth of Long Zixuan was an insult! With the Dragon Soul shattered, unable to cultivate. Even because of this, he had demoted Long Zixuan¡¯s mother, sending her to the cold pce, and took another favored woman of heaven as Empress! Listening to LongXiaotian¡¯s words, Empress Gu Shi¡¯s face turned ugly! This meant that her own sons could no longer inherit the throne¡ Her heart ached and was filled with reluctance to the utmost degree, but at this moment, she did not dare show it. Because the Long Zixuan of today had already be an extraordinary talent of ancient and modern times and had also gained the favor of some terrifying existence; his ascension could guarantee the Saint Dragon Dynasty¡¯s brilliance for another epoch! Long Zixuan heard the words and nced at Long Xiaotian. Aplex emotion shed through his eyes. But it quickly turned cold. ¡°I once eagerly anticipated you saying this, when I was driven from the imperial pce, when they suppressed me, when I watched mother die in the cold pce and no one cared!¡± ¡®Back then, how I wished you would take responsibility as a father, as a husband.¡± ¡°But sadly, you did not.¡± Long Zixuan¡¯s words were cold! The hope in LongXiaotian¡¯s eyes dimmed as his face turned ugly, and he said, ¡°No matter what, you are still my son!¡± The Imperial Dynasty raised you, and now is the time for you to repay the Imperial Dynasty, to repay your father!¡± Hearing this, Long Zixuan coldly replied: ¡°The Imperial Dynasty raised me? Sorry, but all I got from the Saint Dragon Dynasty was mockery and ridicule.¡± ¡°Where there is a loving father, there is a filial son. Where the father is heartless, the son is not obliged.¡± With a wave of his hand, he tore his robe. From this moment, our father-son rtionship is severed. You remain the Emperor, and I seek my own immortal destiny. We owe each other nothing!¡± His words were as cold as a knife, ¡°And for those in the dynasty who owe my mother¡ one day, I will seek justice for each one of them!¡± Having said that, he left without looking back! The light of hope in Long Xiaotian¡¯s eyes instantly faded, and he fell into an abyss of endless regret¡ Why¡ Meanwhile, the Empress began to tremble. It was over. The current Long Zixuan had profound fortune, exceptional talent, and the favor of unprecedented great figures¡ Her past actions¡ Fire Spirit and the other three had finally left. In the arena, many powerful forces were still in shock. ¡°Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, you kept us in the dark so bitterly!¡± Unable to restrain herself, the Cihang Saint Lord spoke up, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of grievance. ¡°Right, if we had known of such a presence in the Southern Territory, why would we have shed with Cao Yijian and the others¡¡± ¡°No wonder others weren¡¯t generous; it was our mistake in choosing sides.¡± Many others spoke up as well, filled with regret. ¡°Actually, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Ling Chao had already made it clear to us that there was a power in the Southern Territory that could deter all, but we simply did not truly believe.¡± The Western Desert Empty Brightness Sanctum Master opened up, the old eyes filled with hope, saying, ¡°Venerable Lords, could you possibly introduce us so that we may meet this senior?¡± ¡°Yes, we would like to meet him too!¡± ¡°Just a casual piece of advice from such a senior would be an enormous blessing for us!¡± Many people were also making strong requests. Now, the existence hidden behind the Southern Territory inspired reverence and curiosity in everyone. That was an existence surpassing that of a True Immortal¡ But the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Ling Chao just shook their heads and said, ¡°We understand the feelings of everyone here, but that senior¡ even we are not qualified to meet him!¡± Upon hearing this, the crowd¡¯s expressions became even moreplex. May I ask the two Venerable Lords, there was a rumor previously circted iming that at the edge of the Cangli Mountain Range, there was an exceptional individual taking disciples¡ was this news released by you?¡± At this moment, Dugu Chenlu suddenly spoke up! Upon hearing him mention it, everyone was instantly shaken, their expressions tense as they recalled the rumor, eagerly awaiting the response from Ling Chao and Yuanyang! Previously, all major forces had received this rumor, but no one paid any attention to it, and some even thought that it was a plot by the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land, aiming to ensnare the talents of various forces. But now, everyone suddenly thought of so much! There really was an extraordinary figure in the Southern Territory! Could this be the same reclusive figure mentioned in the rumors, living at the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range? Hearing this, Yuanyang and Ling Chao exchanged nces, revealing aplex smile in their eyes. ¡°We can tell you two pieces of news.¡± Yuanyang began, saying: ¡°First, Lu Rang was originally an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, and because of his low cultivation level, merely at Foundation Establishment, he was sent to explore the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range by the Divine Sword Sect.¡± ¡°Second, Young Master Long Zixuan was the cast-off prince of the Saint Dragon Dynasty, as everyone knows. Likewise, not so long ago, the Saint Dragon Dynasty also sent him to the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, leaving him to fend for himself¡¡± Yuanyang finished speaking leisurely. All present suddenly had an epiphany! ¡°So it turns out that the reclusive great figure really did exist¡¡± Chapter 79 - 74 The Identity of the Southern Territory Experti Chapter 79: Chapter 74 The Identity of the Southern Territory Experti Trantor: 549690339 | The battle at Taiyan Holy Land concluded swiftly. But the impact of that battle was indeed tremendous! Those who participated in the battle were almost all the major powers from the various territories. Having witnessed everything that took ce in the battle, all the major powers were profoundly shaken. When they arrived, they all harbored thoughts of divvying up the Southern Territory, but upon departure, they hadpletely abandoned such ideas. At the same time, they all turned their attention to another matter! The peerless recluse living outside of the Cangli Mountain Range! Cihang Holy Abode. ¡°Yujie, prepare immediately; I am taking you to the Cangli Mountain Range!¡± As soon as she arrived at the sect gate, the Cihang Saint Lord spoke directly, filled with urgency! ¡°It¡¯s now confirmed that the peerless being resides around the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, his realm unimaginable. Even Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, once deemed as waste, have be remarkable talents under his guidance. If you could be taken as his disciple, your future would be unimaginable¡¡± The Cihang Saint Lord was very earnest as he added, ¡°We must be quick!¡± The eyes of Cihang Holy Maiden, Kong Yujie, were also filled with anticipation as she replied, ¡°Good!!¡± Kongming Temple. ¡°Qing Chen, all of your cultivation has been destroyed, and even I can¡¯t help you¡ Now, the senior living in the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range is your only hope.¡± The Saint Teacher Kongming looked at the monk Qing Chen lying before him, sighed, and said: ¡± I will escort you there.¡± Qing Chen, with sadness in his eyes, asked, ¡°But Teacher, now that I¡¯ve be a cripple, would that senior still take me in¡¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Everything is predestined, and for such a hard-to-find, distinguished person, this is all the more true.¡± ¡°It all depends on whether you have the destiny¡¡± Dugu n. ¡°Master, I will definitely gain that senior¡¯s recognition on behalf of the Dugu n!¡± The young man in white robes spoke seriously to Dugu Chenlu. He was Dugu Chenlu¡¯s only son, Dugu Yuqing. Dugu Chenlu nodded and said, ¡°Inform the youths of the n to assemble; I¡¯ll take you there.¡± ¡°Even the ones with the lowest aptitude should go.¡± Hearing this, Dugu Yuqing appeared stunned and questioned, ¡°Father, why would those with low aptitude go?¡± Dugu Chenlu exined, ¡°That senior¡¯s recruitment of disciples may not necessarily be based on one¡¯s aptitude. After all, the aptitudes of Long Zixuan and Lu Rang were previously unspeakable¡¡± Almost all of the Holy Lands, ns, and so on had one thing inmon after leaving¡ªthey sent the most elite individuals from their sects to the outskirts of Cangli Mountain Range. If they could gain that person¡¯s favor like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan, it would be the highest honor for their entire sect! Meanwhile, at a certain location in the Xuan Tian Realm, where clouds stretched endlessly, the void blurred, at the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea. ¡°Not good!¡± The leader of the ck robed figures suddenly let out a cry. Twomps appeared in his hands instantly, their mes already extinguished! ¡°The Soul Lamps have gone out¡ Have Luo Ming and the other perished?!¡± The other ck robed figures, seeing this, were also struck with shock and dismay! ¡°Zang Xuan is dead, and now even Luo Ming and hispanion have died in the Southern Territory? How is that possible!¡± ¡°Two True Immortals, there¡¯s simply no force throughout the entire Xuan Tian Realm that could threaten them¡¡± ¡°Exactly, this doesn¡¯t make sense, what exactly is hidden in the Southern Territory?¡± For a moment, everyone was discussing and doubting amongst themselves! The leader of the ck robed figures¡¯ expression darkened to the extreme. ¡°I, Yu Chenbing, have eradicated three realms consecutively, obtaining three World Trees, and have never suffered setbacks!¡± ¡°In this minor Xuan Tian Realm, to lose three True Immortals is disgraceful!¡± He spoke with anger in his words. ¡°Leader, what should we do now? Shall we all head to the Southern Territory?¡± One of the ck robed figures inquired. ¡°Idiots.¡± Yu Chenbing issued a cold rebuke, ¡°The current situation in the Southern Territory is unclear, but clearly, there exists a being capable of killing a True Immortal¡ We must not rush in before we have understood the matter.¡± ¡°Wait, wait for Chen Yun to return!¡± His eyes shot out a cold light, ¡°I believe this matter must be rted to the Immortal Domain!¡± Immortal Domain. The vast and boundless Immortal Domain, with territories spanning billions of li, endless and limitless! The Immortal Domain is divided into the Five Domains and Thirty-Three Heavens! The Five Domains refer to the Central Immortal Domain, Northern Immortal Domain, Southern Immortal Domain, Western Immortal Domain, and Eastern Immortal Domain. Apart from the Central Immortal Domain, which is encircled by the other Four Immortal Domains and whose borders have been defined, the areas of the North, South, East, and West Immortal Domains have never been fully explored. Beneath the Five Great Immortal Domains are what are imed to be the Million Lower Realms. The Million Lower Realms are each linked to different regions of the Immortal Domain. Northern Immortal Domain. The far northern border. A colossal Immortal City stands upon thend; from afar, the city brims with spiritual energy, like clouds that billow and surge. ¡°Saint Cloud City!¡± In the grand scheme of the Immortal Domain, this was merely the smallest of cities and located at the far edge of the Northern Immortal Domain, akin to a small city in a remote and impoverished region. But it also boasts over nine million cultivators! Around the city were countless minor sect gates. At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator d in a ck robe stood before Saint Cloud City. ¡°The Five Great Immortal Domains correspond to a million Lower Worlds, finding the region of the Immortal Domain that corresponds to an obscure Lower World like Xuan Tian Realm is truly too difficult¡¡± ¡°¡After spending over a thousand top-grade Immortal Spirit Stones and reaching out to countless individuals, I have only managed to discover that Xuan Tian Realm should belong to one of the twenty-one Lower Realms connected to Saint Cloud City¡¡± Muttering to himself, he paid the thirty top-grade Immortal Spirit Stones required to enter the city and stepped into Saint Cloud City. Upon entering Saint Cloud City, he headed directly to the ¡°Immortal History Pavilion¡±! Due to the sheer vastness of the Immortal Domain, each of the Five Great Immortal Domains has a dedicated sect responsible for recording the chronicles of the Immortal Domain. Such sects have established ¡°Immortal History Pavilions¡± in every city. There, one could find all the noteworthy records about the city. Before long, he had arrived at the Immortal History Pavilion. After paying some Immortal Spirit Stones at the pavilion, a cultivator inside guided him. ¡°May I know what content you wish to inquire about?¡± The cultivator dressed in linen said, ¡°All records concerning cultivators from Saint Cloud City entering the Lower Worlds!¡± The person in charge nodded and responded, ¡°This information is avable for perusal. Follow me.¡± Shortly after, the middle-aged cultivator was led to a row of bookshelves. The middle-aged cultivator began to search. The records were not excessive because entering the Lower World from the Immortal Domain is extremely difficult and requires a significant sacrifice. Even over the course of thousands of years, there weren¡¯t many records. ¡°Huh?¡± Suddenly, the middle-aged man in linen discovered an entry: ¡°Three hundred years ago, a Demon Cultivator infiltrated the Sect of the Heavenly Soul and stole the sect¡¯s treasured Heaven Soul Bead, inflicting heavy damage on the Sect of the Heavenly Soul as he fled into the Lower World. His exact whereabouts are unknown.¡± ¡°Note: The individual is extremely vicious, with a cultivation level of a Heavenly Immortal. Ruthless in action, he has killed numerous True Immortals and Profound Immortals, and those in by him often perishpletely with their souls scattered!¡± ¡°Note: To this day, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul and Saint Cloud City continue to offer a bounty for this person, but he remains uncatchable due to the inability to determine which world he is in.¡± His gaze firmly fixed on this particr record! Ruthless in action, those he killed perishedpletely, their souls scattered! ¡± Isn¡¯t that exactly how Zang Xuan died, with his life force cut off and his soul dissipated¡¡± ¡°Moreover, upon reviewing the records of the past two thousand years, this is the only individual who went to the Lower World and has yet to return!¡± ¡°Could it be him?!¡± The middle-aged man closed the records and departed. Not long after, he left Saint Cloud City. ¡°In the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm, the one who killed Zang Xuan must be this Demon Cultivator. I must immediately notify Yu Chenbing¡¡± He murmured to himself. Chapter 80 - 75 Li Fan Poses a Question 1 Chapter 80: Chapter 75 Li Fan Poses a Question 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm. Outside the Cangli Mountain Range, a small mountain vige. In the little courtyard, Li Fan listened to Nan Feng¡¯s music, his lips curling into a smile. This girl indeed had some talent in music, even better than thest time. After Nan Feng finished ying the zither, she too revealed a hint of a smile¡ª after this period, she had pushed open that door, and if she wanted, she could be immortal at any moment. Meanwhile, Zi Ling continued to paint earth chickens¡¯ eggs as always. This was the one thousand nine hundred and seventy-second earth chicken egg she had painted. This time, however, she hesitated, unable to make a stroke. Actually, as she kept painting the egg before her, she became increasingly slower. Thest few times, it even took several days toplete one egg. It was unimaginable. With a brush in hand, she had already spent a whole morning. Her eyebrows were faintly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought. Was the earth chicken egg before her eyes, really just an egg? Why did she clearly see the shell forming, watch a life being nurtured inside? Why did she clearly see the principles coursing within the shell, the natural order thriving secretly? She wanted to paint, but she found she couldn¡¯t move her brush. What she wanted to paint, was it an egg, or was it the Greater Way? Was it a life, or was it eternity? She pondered, she meditated. Li Fan sipped the tea Nan Feng had brought over, ncing her way; he knew, this girl had finally grasped the threshold. ¡°To drink tea, you must followyour heart; to toil thend, you must follow your heart; to feed the fish, you must followyour heart; to y music, you must followyour heart; simrly, painting too must followyour heart.¡± ¡°What you see is not important, what matters is what you think it is.¡± Li Fan spoke leisurely. In the arts, music, and other fields, his insights were very profound; after all, he had been tormented by the System for so long. At these words, Zi Ling, who was holding her brush, suddenly had a gleam in her eyes! ¡°Followyour heart!¡± ¡°What is observed doesn¡¯t matter, what¡¯s important is what I think it is!¡± She murmured to herself. Suddenly, the flowing principles came to a halt and then vanished. The pulsation of life stopped, no longer disturbing the mind. All theplex aspects disappeared. In her eyes, the chicken egg remained a chicken egg. Just quietly ced there. She dipped her brush, and began to paint. With each stroke, a melody of the Way was born! One line after another, seamlessly continuing, until thest drop of ink fell, and on the rice paper, an egg waspleted. That egg, in and simple, seemed as though it now possessed a life! She let out a long breath, and in that moment, an unparalleled sense of relief welled up inside her! Her spiritual power flowed involuntarily, strands of Immortal Qi coursing and erupting throughout her body! Nan Feng, by her side, was immediately shocked, looking at Zi Ling in utter astonishment, ¡°Zi Ling¡became an immortal?!¡± Bing immortal! From the Supreme Realm, skipping the Quasi-Immortal Stage, and stepping directly onto the Immortal Path! Zi Ling came back to her senses, also stunned, her watery,rge eyes blinking, filled with disbelief¡ She was overwhelmed with excitement! ¡°Heavens, I¡¯ve be immortal¡ I¡¯ve seeded!¡± She jumped up and down in joy! Nan Feng, too, approached with delight, ¡°Congrattions, Zi Ling!¡± Zi Ling¡¯s cheeks were flushed with excitement as she picked up the painting and ran to Li Fan, ¡°Thank you, Master, thank you, Master! Please have a look, Master!¡± Her gratitude was boundless. Nan Feng also hadplex emotions; thest time she was almost lost, it was the Master who casually guided her and helped push open that door. Now, with just a few words from the Master, Zi Ling had achieved her Immortal Path! This admiration was simply indescribable! Li Fan, however, did not look at Zi Ling¡¯s painting and smiled, ¡°You don¡¯t need to look. Starting tomorrow, you can paint something else.¡± Zi Ling nodded fervently, like a little chick pecking at grains! ¡°Thump thump.¡± At that moment, the sound of knocking at the door arose. ¡°Is Senior Li avable?¡± That was Mu Qianning¡¯s voice. It seems they¡¯vee back from a group fight¡ Li Fan said, ¡°Pleasee in.¡± The door opened, and Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, along with Long Zixuan, and Lu Rang stepped in. Seeing that there were no signs of injury on Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, Li Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that these two disciples, being the simpletons they are, would mindlessly throw themselves into the fray and get killed. After all, one wielding a crappy chopstick and the other wielding a zing Staff, how could they evenpete? ¡°Senior, thank you for sending Young Master Long and Young Master Lu. The matter has been resolved perfectly!¡± Fire Spirit expressed her gratitude. Li Fan smiled and replied, ¡°It¡¯s a trivial matter, no thanks needed.¡± He looked at Long Zixuan and the others and nodded, ¡°You two were quite clever.¡± Long Zixuan and Lu Rang respectfully stepped forward, both hands presenting the items they had taken. A wooden chopstick, a zing Staff. ¡°Thank you, Master, for bestowing these treasures upon us. We have brought them back.¡± They both had a solemn expression, these two items were true treasures, terrifyingly powerful beyond imagination. Li Fan said, ¡°Throw the zing Staff back in the kitchen, and this chopstick, what, you want me to eat with it? Toss it into the woodpile to burn!¡± zing Staff back in the kitchen¡ Burn the chopstick¡ Hearing Li Fan¡¯s words, everyone hadplicated expressions, not knowing what to say! If the outside world knew that items capable of killing a True Immortal were used in this small courtyard merely as a zing Staff in the kitchen or even tossed into a fire as fuel¡ they would probably go insane. Fire Spirit even thought that if possible, one could dominate the heavens just by picking up trash in Senior Li¡¯s courtyard! Long Zixuan and Lu Rang exchanged looks, both feeling a sense of loss! Dammit, such treasures¡ But, since their master had given the order, they did not dare to disobey and immediately went to the kitchen. ¡°By the way, Senior Li,¡± Fire Spirit continued, ¡°This battle was brilliantly fought; the outside world should all know that you¡¯re here¡ and they also know you¡¯re taking disciples here. Next, I fear countless people wille to seek apprenticeship¡¡± There was a hint of trepidation in her face as she said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid this might affect your peaceful cultivation, Senior. Please punish me!¡± She knew that Senior Li liked tranquility. Although he wanted to take disciples, he didn¡¯t favor making a big fuss about it but rather preferred to keep it low-key. Now that all the major powers know, one can imagine how crazy they will be¡ When the timees, it will definitely disturb Senior Li¡¯s peaceful cultivation, and if Senior Li gets angry because of that¡ It¡¯s simply unimaginable! Mu Qianning also said with self-reproach, ¡°It¡¯s all Qian Ning¡¯s fault for not thinking things through and causing trouble for you, Senior.¡± Hearing this, Li Fan was also stunned for a moment. Fight a battle and be famous from it? People from the outsideing to seek apprenticeship? Li Fan suddenly began to suspect, what exactly had happened during this fight? Lu Rang and Long Zixuan looked like they hadn¡¯t participated much, and yet they still won and became famous outside? This is bad! Li Fan immediately thought that the people outside must have been conned by Lu Rang and Long Zixuan! Perhaps, during the fight, they bragged about having a powerful master, just like street hoodlums boast about having a big brother backing them¡ And the people outside believed it, so they admitted defeat. That must be it! ¡°They, did they find out about me and want to seek apprenticeship because they met Long Zixuan and Lu Rang?¡± Li Fan needed to make sure whether these two disciples had spread nonsense outside. Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit nodded like pecking hens. Of course! After seeing the unparalleled talents of Long Zixuan and Lu Rang, those people naturally learned about Senior Li¡¯s existence and naturally wanted to seek apprenticeship. Li Fan immediately ced a hand on his forehead, realizing it was indeed Long Zixuan and Lu Rang causing trouble outside! Though he was short a few disciples, he wouldn¡¯t just settle for anybody; a bunch of people who would let fools like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan protect them definitely didn¡¯t pass the intelligence test! No, he had to screen them! Li Fan immediately turned back, writing furiously. After finishing, he instructed, ¡°Nan Feng, ce this at the vige entrance.¡± ¡°This will let those who should note know to back off.¡± Nan Feng respectfully took it and nced at it, only to see written on the calligraphy: ¡°Only those who can solve this problem may enter to seek apprenticeship.¡± Following this sentence, three lines connected together to form a triangle, with the cornersbeled with the numbers 1, 2, and 3. The problem was: Given angle 1 is 450, and angle 2 is 30¡ã, find the degree of angle 3. After seeing this problem, everyone in the courtyard was baffled¡ Chapter 81 - 76 This Kind of Terrifying Treasure Chapter 81: Chapter 76 This Kind of Terrifying Treasure Technique_i Trantor: 549690339 | In the small courtyard, Fire Spirit and the others all curiously examined the question written by Li Fan. But they instantly fell into confusion! What was this? They had never seen it before! Even the meaning of the question waspletely iprehensible to them. ¡°This¡ this must be a kind of Supreme Dao Mysteries! Fire Spirit spoke solemnly, ¡°Only a true powerhouse can unravel it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s no wonder Senior Li, such questions we have never seen before¡¡± Mu Qianning felt even more admiration for Li Fan. Nan Feng also took a deep breath, understanding that this question would likely be an insurmountable challenge for all cultivators in the Xuantian Realm! ¡°I shall goat once!¡± She immediately left the small courtyard and went straight to the entrance of the vige, where she affixed the content written by Li Fan onto a stele, then returned. She had just left when suddenly, Outside the small mountain vige. A series of Yu Kong Flying Ships suddenly appeared. People from all the major sects had arrived! ¡°Hurry up, hurry, our Tianling Sect must be the first to pay respects to that senior!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let them get ahead of us!¡± ¡°Full speed ahead!¡± They rushed forward in a frenzy, fearing others might gain the advantage. Members of all the major forces were vying with each other! On the Yu Kong Flying Ships, almost without exception, were the leaders of the sects, bringing with them their most elite young disciples. ¡°Hiss!¡± Someone gasped in astonishment, ¡°The entire Cangli Mountain Range has been destroyed, yet this small vige looks so peaceful and unscathed¡ This must be the dwelling of a reclusive expert!¡± ¡°What appears tranquil must surely contain Supreme power! ¡°Indeed, a ce inhabited by an unparalleled expert!¡± Many figures at the Saint level and above were speaking! Theynded their Yu Kong Flying Ships outside the vige, not daring to fly directly over. The cultivators disembarked and, at a nce, there seemed to be nearly a thousand people! One could say that all the young geniuses of the entire Xuantian Realm had e. Desire and anticipation filled their eyes. At the forefront of the crowd, figures like Cihang Saint Lord, Saint Teacher Kongming, Dugu Chenlu, and others appeared. They brought their respective disciples and others. ¡°This ce is extraordinary; truly fitting for the Great Sage of the Brahman Path to reside in, with endless Brahman charm and hidden profound truths.¡± Saint Teacher Kongming uttered his praise. ¡°Indeed, my heart feels an umon serenity; just one nce at this small mountain vige surpasses a year of arduous cultivation in the ¡®Cihang Quiet Chamber1¡¡± The eyes of Cihang Saint Lord were filled with solemnity! ¡°Let¡¯s go, we shall pay homage to that senior.¡± Dugu Chenlu then said. They walked forward. But just as the crowd was getting close, Suddenly, at the entrance of the vige, Dao light flickered! ¡°No, look!¡± Cihang Saint Lord eximed in surprise, pointing forward! At that moment, everyone lifted their eyes! In the next instant, the entire crowd was stunned. For they clearly saw terrifying golden characters, as if holding infinite might, emerging at the front of the vige, forming a fearsome barrier! The aura was incredibly frightening, as if each character could copse the heavens themselves! ¡°Is this the Edict of a Supreme being? Heavens, legend has it that only the Supreme beings of the Immortal Domain can exhibit the power of an Edict¡¡± ¡°The senior residing here is truly bold and skilled!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t move forward even one step!¡± All at once, people started talking! ¡°This is the question set by that senior, only by solving it can one qualify to be a disciple!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming spoke gravely. Immediately, everyone turned their gaze toward the terrifying golden characters. Three terrifying golden lines, like three Star Rivers, formed triangles with the corners marked 1, 2, 3! Given that angle 1 is 45¡ã and angle 2 is 30¡ã, determine the degrees of angle 3. ¡°What a terrifying question!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming, having just glimpsed it, was already greatly shaken and astounded, ¡°It seems to involve Supreme Immortal Path!¡± ¡°Right¡ from the onees two, from twoes three, and from threees all things; the figures made of three gold lines by that senior clearly contain the profound mysteries of all under heaven. Who can solve it?¡± Cihang Saint Lord was also shocked, engrossed in the vast Great Dao true meaning revealed by the terrifying characters, profoundly captivated! ¡°Each golden line seems like an unparalleled sword scar capable of severing ancient times¡ Heaven, if one could thoroughly understand it, bing a Superior Immortal instantly would not be difficult!¡± Dugu Chen was utterly fascinated,pletely lost in thought! For a time, all the major forces of the Xuantian Realm from Saint Lords and Supremes to sect geniuses were all struck by this question. At the same time as they were shocked, they struggled to ponder! ¡°This is too difficult, for us, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s impossible to solve in a lifetime¡¡± Cihang Holy Maiden Kong Yujie, spoke with aplex tone. ¡°s, the issues involved in this puzzle are really tooplex. I¡¯m afraid only the presence of the Great Sage of the Brahman Path could provide a glimpse into it¡¡± Qing Chen¡¯s face looked terrible! Dugu Yuqing, on the other hand, was tightly gripping the sword in her hand. The most powerful and elite group of people in the entire Xuantian Realm were now stumped by this puzzle! Time flew by. Three days and three nights passed quickly! In those three days and nights, not a single person managed to solve it. Many quickly despaired. ¡°s, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have such a fairy fate in my life, I should leave¡¡± ¡°It¡¯s too hard, this puzzle is really too difficult for us!¡± ¡°Impossible to solve, unless one fullyprehends the Dao Mysteries, otherwise, one can¡¯t even touch the surface of this puzzle!¡¯ Everyone spoke up one after another, and people began to leave. However, there were some people who, although they could not find the answer to the puzzle, felt something from those golden characters and immediately sat cross-legged, embarking on enlightenment! One monthter. Outside the little mountain vige, only a few dozen people remained! ¡°Even though I was not fated to meet this senior, I have glimpsed a corner of the Dao from the golden characters, and I am content in this life! Saint Teacher Kongming had been sitting in meditation for over a month and suddenly opened his eyes, filled with contentment. He pressed his hands together in prayer and bowed deeply towards the little mountain vige! Afterpleting his gestures of respect, he stood up and said, ¡°Qing Chen, let us depart.¡± But Qing Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Master, I felt the Buddhist Heart Sutra here, and even if I cannot take this senior as my teacher, I am willing to stay outside this vige, to be a farmer, tilling thend, all for the sake ofprehending the Buddhist principles!¡± His eyes were very determined! Saint Teacher Kongming nodded and responded, ¡°That¡¯s also good! After that, he left on his own. ¡°Cihang, Cihang, the plight of all beings!¡± At this moment, Cihang Saint Lord also spoke up. She had reflected for over a month and found a deeper understanding of the Cihang Dao. She even felt that the Immortal Path was within reach. She too paid her profound respects to the little mountain vige, and then she left with Kong Yujie. ¡°This senior, even if he is above the Immortal Domain, must be a terrifying existence with endless fortune. I really don¡¯t know why he appeared in our Xuantian Realm¡¡± Dugu Chenlu opened his eyes, a glint of sword light shing through them. He bowed deeply towards the little mountain vige. Turning his head, he found his son with eyes closed tight, and the sword qi around his body was in extreme disarray! ¡°s, forcing you to ponder such Supreme Dao was really too much to ask of you.¡± Dugu Chenlu sighed, cing his hand on Dugu Yuqing, infusing her with Spiritual Power. Dugu Yuqing then woke up, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood and looking pale. ¡°Let¡¯s go, you¡¯ve suffered internal injuries.¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke. But Dugu Yuqing shook her head and said through gritted teeth, ¡°No, I won¡¯t leave!¡± ¡°I must ponder again, even if it means death, I will pursue this senior¡¯s path of ultimate strength!¡± Dugu Chenlu wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that having such a resolute sword heart might not necessarily be a bad thing. ¡°All right, then you stay.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t push yourself too hard.¡± Dugu Chenlu also turned and left. All the great Saint Masters gradually left the scene! Soon, there weren¡¯t many people left outside the small mountain vige. In the vige, in the small courtyard. ¡°Master, that puzzle was really too difficult, too terrifying. Over a thousand people came, but not even one could solve it!¡± ¡°Now, almost everyone has left.¡± Nan Feng spoke with aplex expression. She saw that great figures who were well-known in the Xuantian Realm, like Saint Teacher Kongming, Dugu Chenlu, and others, all pondered deeply but failed to find a solution. Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help feeling somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he had assigned a puzzle; otherwise, taking these people who didn¡¯t even know about the sum of angles in a triangle, basic middle school mathematics knowledge, as disciples would have been a mess¡ Having disciples like Long Zixuan and Lu Rang who fought group battles with a zing Staff and chopsticks was already exhausting enough for Li Fan. However, the people of this Xuantian Realm were also too weak, weren¡¯t they? The question he put forth would be easily answered by any middle school student on Earth¡ Could it be that not a single one of these thousand-plus people could solve it? And they im to be geniuses from their domains? This simply doesn¡¯t make sense¡ No, wait! Li Fan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Nan Feng, asking, ¡°Nan Feng, in the Xuantian Realm¡ do you study mathematics? Geometry?¡± At this question, Nan Feng was instantly dumbfounded by Li Fan. ¡°Mathematics? Geometry?¡± ¡°Master, such terrifying skills are unheard of, unseen in the Xuantian Realm! She stated with certainty! Li Fan was also stunned in a moment. Damn¡ that was careless! Chapter 82 - 77 Demon Monarch Primeval Soul 1 Chapter 82: Chapter 77 Demon Monarch Primeval Soul 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Nan Feng¡¯s response instantly made Li Fan understand. Damn, this Xuantian Realm, bloody hell, is full of cultivators¡ No one studies mathematics, no one studies mathematics! So, it wasn¡¯t that these thousands of people were too stupid or had low IQs, but rather that the question was truly¡ hasty! ¡°Master, what is the grand path of mathematics? I have heard of the wondrous odd numbers of the circumpr stars, is it rted to this?¡± ¡°And what is geometry? These two words seem to directly point to the essence of the Dao¡¡± Zi Ling was extremely eager to learn and promptly asked Li Fan for guidance. Li Fan felt slightly embarrassed, but it wasn¡¯t appropriate to say it outright, so he said, ¡°Sort of.¡± ¡°Nan Feng, go and remove the question from the vige entrance.¡± Leaving it there, unrecognized, it¡¯s pointless. Nan Feng immediatelyplied. Sometimeter, she arrived at the vige entrance. ncing outside, there were still two young people unwilling to leave. Nan Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh as she removed the question. The moment she removed the question, the outsiders like Dugu Yuqing were shocked because the terrifying golden characters, the terrifying triangle, and that barrier all disappeared! ¡°Hold on, goddess!¡± Seeing Nan Feng about to leave, Dugu Yuqing hurriedly said, ¡°Goddess, are you¡ the distinguished senior¡¯s high disciple?¡± Nan Feng turned her head and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Dugu Yuqing said, ¡°Goddess, why did you remove the question? Did that senior provide any instructions?¡± Qing Chen was also looking at Nan Feng. Nan Feng hesitated briefly and then said, ¡°This question, no one in Xuantian Realm could solve it.¡± ¡°Because it involves two supreme and paramount paths.¡± ¡°Mathematics, geometry.¡± Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen had looks of astonishment. Mathematics? Geometry? They had never heard of it! ¡°Goddess, since you have removed the question, does it mean we may enter and meet that senior?¡± Qing Chen asked anxiously. As for that, even Nan Feng was somewhat puzzled; her master hadn¡¯t mentioned anything¡ ¡°The master did not specify.¡± After speaking, she left. Outside the vige, Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen exchanged nces, both plunged into confusion. At this moment. In the Xuantian Realm. On the border of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, among the vast and hazy waters. ¡°Chen Yun has sent back a message.¡± Yu Chenbing spoke! Suddenly, the ck-robed figures around gathered together. In Yu Chenbing¡¯s hand appeared a crystal ball! Within the crystal ball, a beam of light transferred into Yu Chenbing¡¯s mind. He immediately said, ¡°ording to the information Chen Yun sent after exploring the Immortal Domain, the part of the Immortal Domain corresponding to Xuantian Realm is the Far North Land of the Northern Immortal Domain, an Immortal City called Saint Cloud City!¡± ¡°The presence in the Southern Territory could very well be a Demon Cultivator named Ming Tianbei!¡± ¡°Ming Tianbei escaped into the Lower World three hundred years ago after stealing the Heaven Soul Bead from the Sect of the Heavenly Soul; his cultivation level was already at the Celestial Immortal Realm back then!¡± ¡°Based on the information Chen Yun gathered, this Demon Cultivator is ruthless in his actions, often leaving his victims utterly destroyed, soul shattered¡ªthis matches exactly with the deaths of Zang Xuan, Luo Ming, and the others.¡± Upon hearing this, many ck-robed figures had solemn expressions! ¡°¡To forcefully enter the Lower World from the Immortal Domain requires a heavy price, and even a Celestial Immortal upon entering could easily drop to below the Immortal Realm in cultivation level!¡± ¡°Thus, over these three hundred years, this Demon Cultivator has likely been recuperating; if he acts out now¡ his cultivation level has recovered to at least above that of a True Immortal!¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we might have trouble. We¡¯ll need to report to the Sub-rudder and send at least a Profound Immortal level powerhouse!¡± The crowd started talking. Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal! This is the realm ssification in the Immortal Domain. Above Daluo Golden Immortals are the Hunyuan Golden Immortals, who are revered as Immortal Monarchs! Mythical beings like Immortal Kings are even higher than Immortal Monarchs. Between each realm, there is a true chasm. If the one hiding in the Southern Territory is indeed that Demon Cultivator, and if he has truly regained his strength, then they, mere True Immortals, would stand no chance against him. ¡°No¡ the Xuantian Realmcks the status, and the appearance of a Celestial Immortal would be detected by the Immortal Domain.¡± ¡°Therefore, even if his cultivation has recovered, he would only dare maintain it at the Profound Immortal Realm.¡± Yu Chenbing opened his mouth, pondering, and said, ¡°Moreover, if the existence in the Southern Territory is indeed that Demon Cultivator, we might not need to take action; Saint Cloud City is already pursuing him¡¡± Upon hearing the words, the group was taken by surprise. ¡°Right now, we only need to confirm one thing, whether the one in the Southern Territory is truly the Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei!¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s time for us to make a move.¡± He spoke up, ¡°Wang Chuan, apany me.¡± All the True Immortals were taken aback. Southern Territory. The broken Cangli Mountain Range. Since the Ascension tform was destroyed and True Immortals wept blood, no one had ventured into this region anymore. The Supreme Burial Ground had be as quiet as death, with only the soil dyed red by the blood of True Immortals exuding a different kind of deste beauty. All of a sudden, at the Supreme Burial Ground, there was a faint ck qi seeping out from the ground, thread by thread. Underground. In the unfathomable depths, there was actually a secret chamber! Within the chamber, green ghost fires flickered faintly, illuminating the dark iron coffin at the center. Atop the iron coffin, many ancient and anticorrosive demonic runes were carved. Beside the coffin, a bald man with wrinkled skin, as if a great deal of his life force had passed, was clothed in a ck robe, resembling a Yin Ghost. ¡°It¡¯s been three hundred years, the Heaven Soul Bead has nurtured for three hundred years; the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul should rightfully awaken¡¡± The man muttered to himself. Raising his eyes to look above, he murmured, ¡°Days ago, a terrifyingly powerful sword intent prated thousands of feet of earth and struck here. Fortunately, it was not directed at this ce; otherwise, even this demonic coffin couldn¡¯t withstand it, and I would have been annihted¡¡± ¡°The one capable of emitting such sword intent is rarely seen in the entire Immortal Domain¡ I hope it¡¯s not the presence of a formidable being from the Immortal Domain that has noticed this ce, otherwise the awakening of the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul might be in jeopardy¡¡± Suddenly, he noticed ck qi starting to appear around the edges of the demonic coffin. ¡°The Demonic Qi is flourishing¡ The Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch seems to be about toe into the world!¡± The bald man became instantly excited! A small mountain vige. ¡°Shall we go in?¡± Doubt was written all over Dugu Yuqing¡¯s face! Now that the barrier was gone, they could enter the vige. But, the senior had not said they should enter¡ This made it difficult for him to decide; he was extremely eager yet dared not act rashly. By his side, Qing Chen the monk fell silent for a moment before finally lifting his head, his gaze firmly fixed on the vige ahead, and said, ¡°I have be a cripple, life and death are of little consequence to me now.¡± ¡°I will enter.¡± With that, he took a step forward. He was seeking an opportunity! Dugu Yuqing was also taken aback by this. ¡°Indeed, if Qing Chen can think this way, what should I fear?¡± His gaze gradually hardened as he murmured, ¡°Only by entering can we pursue the most powerful Sword Dao. Rather than living a trivial existence in the outside world, it¡¯s better to step in. Even if it means death, it does not matter!¡± He too followed immediately. The two entered the small mountain vige and were astounded by the food they encountered along the way. ¡°Superb Spiritual Medicine? To think it¡¯s casually nted in a viger¡¯s home?¡± ¡°Heavens, what kind of medicine field is this? Even the weeds have grown to the level of top-tier Spiritual Medicine!¡± ¡°It looks like an ordinary stone house, so why do I feel it¡¯s like a Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands?¡± The more they walked, the more frightened they became. ¡°All of this must be the blessings of the reclusive senior here!¡± Qing Chen spoke gravely, his expectations and excitement growing! ¡°Let¡¯s go! I can hardly wait.¡± Dugu Yuqing also moved forward. Before long, they finally saw a quaint little courtyard. A stone wall separated the courtyard from the outside world, and on the wooden door hung a calligraphy piece bearing fourrge characters: ¡°Wu¡¯erXianting!¡± On seeing this, Qing Chen took a sharp breath, ¡°The master of this ce must be a celestial being; such a demeanor, such a boldness¡ it¡¯s unimaginable!¡± Dugu Yuqing¡¯s eyes widened, fixated on those four characters; he could barely keep walking! ¡°Every stroke embodies a great Dao, each line a sword light¡ containing the strongest Sword Dao in this world¡ I¡¯ve found it, I¡¯ve found it!¡± He was extremely excited! The two exchanged nces, each taking a deep breath. They then approached and said: ¡°Qing Chen from Kongming Temple, here to pay respects to the senior!¡± ¡°Dugu Yuqing from the Dugu Family, here to pay respects to the senior!¡± The two called out! Chapter 83 - 78: Lost Control and Became an Immortal_1 Chapter 83: Chapter 78: Lost Control and Became an Immortal_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the small courtyard. Li Fan had just instructed Nan Feng to burn that problem when a voice suddenly came from outside. ¡°Master, these two have persisted to the end and refuse to leave¡¡± Nan Feng exined. Upon hearing this, Li Fan was a bit surprised. In the Xuantian Realm, no one studies mathematics or geometry, but the fact that they had persisted for over a month wasmendable for their perseverance. Li Fan immediately nodded, saying, ¡°If they have such perseverance, then bring them in.¡± At these words, Nan Feng nodded and left, thinking to herself that the Master¡¯s test was indeed ingenious. The problem delved into the mysteries of heaven and earth and was unsolvable by anyone, yet the Master¡¯s purpose was to use it to identify those with perseverance! She went ahead to open the door and saw Qing Chen and Dugu Yuqing. ¡°The Master has allowed you to enter.¡± She spoke indifferently. At her words, Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen were overjoyed! Being allowed in meant there might be a chance to be disciples. Even if they could not be disciples, just meeting such a formidable person was a supreme opportunity indeed. They respectfully followed behind Nan Feng and entered the courtyard. ¡°Master, they have arrived.¡± Nan Feng spoke to Li Fan. The gazes of Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen fell upon Li Fan, and both showed a hint of surprise in their eyes. Could this supremely terrifying figure really be the refined-looking young man before them? But they immediately understood. Dugu Yuqing thought to himself, ¡°This senior may appear young, but he must be a terrorizing existence who has lived through countless years!¡± Qing Chen was even more inwardly shocked: ¡°For such a personage, immortality is nothing special.¡± Their respect for Li Fan grew even more. ¡°Junior Qing Chen from Kongming Temple greets you, Senior!¡± Qing Chen said, his expression extremely sincere, ¡°I am wholeheartedly devoted to the path and implore you, Senior, to take me in!¡± Dugu Yuqing also immediately spoke up, ¡°Junior Dugu Yuqing from the Dugu Family. My admiration for Senior is beyond words. Having seen the words ¡®Wu¡¯er Xianting¡¯ written by Senior, I was utterly convinced, and I only hope to be able to follow by Senior¡¯s side and listen to his teachings!¡± Li Fan looked them over. Their attitudes were sincere, and the fact that they could withstand so long outside also indicated their resolute will. However, Li Fan was somewhat puzzled. He had to ask, ¡°Dugu Yuqing, is it? So, you havee to be my disciple, wishing to learn the way of calligraphy?¡± Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing was momentarily stunned. Calligraphy? But he instantly understood. Yes, calligraphy, the supreme Sword Dao he had sensed was indeed hidden within calligraphy by this senior! So, the calligraphy mentioned by the senior was actually Sword Dao. He hurriedly nodded, saying, ¡°All my life, I have been deeply passionate about this path!¡± That settled it, and Li Fan nodded as well. This he could teach. He turned to Qing Chen, saying, ¡°And you? You¡¯re a monk from the Brahma Sect. But you see, I have always avoided worshipping Brahma and entering temples¡ I do not believe in the doctrines you revere.¡± Upon hearing this, Qing Chen became anxious and extremely nervous. After finally meeting this senior, was he about to lose this rare oppportunity? No! This was hisst chance¡ ¡°Master, I¡¯m going to feed the fish.¡± At that moment, Long Zixuan came over from one side, carrying fish food and saluting Li Fan. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Li Fan smiled. Qing Chen hesitated, then suddenly had a realization, ncing at Long Zixuan. The moment he looked, he was instantly captivated by the fish food bowl in Long Zixuan¡¯s hands! Boom! At that moment, Qing Chen¡¯s eyes widened in shock, an image shed through his mind, and he was horrified! ¡°This is¡ the Great Sun Brahma Bowl¡¡± He was astounded! The fish food bowl held by Long Zixuan was identical to the divine object of the Brahma Sect, the Great Sun Brahma Bowl, as recorded in an ancient text! Even more so, he saw the same mystical Brahma patterns on the fish food bowl. ¡°This must be the Great Sun Brahma Bowl¡ because of the ancient texts and mysterious Brahma patterns with tremendous power. Besides the Great Sun Brahma Bowl, no other vessel could contain its power. Even if engraved on immortal gold, the gold would shatter instantly!¡± His mind was greatly shaken. The sacred object of the Brahma Sect, shouldn¡¯t it be above the Immortal Domain, hidden on the most divine and holy Spirit Mountain? How could it appear here¡ Could it be that Senior Li¡¯s true identity is¡ His heart suddenly leaped. He suddenly remembered that the ¡°Brahma Heaven¡± revered by the Brahma Sect could transform into countless forms! Senior Li, who saved the entire Xuantian Realm, battling against an unknown mysterious existence, perhaps, he is one of the Brahma Sect¡¯s giants?! He did know that within the Brahma Sect, there are innumerable branches, and mythological beings, plenty of them! Without a doubt, the one before him must be one of them. His mind became clear, he had almost missed out on a great Buddha! He knelt down immediately and said, ¡°Senior Li, Qing Chen is willing to give up everything to follow the path of Senior Li!¡± There are myriad paths in the Brahma Sect, without a doubt, following Senior Li and cultivating the supreme Brahma Path can also lead directly to Spirit Mountain. Li Fan heard this and smiled as well. This was much better, if Qing Chen insisted on his numerous rules and precepts, Li Fan really wouldn¡¯t be able to teach him, after all, he couldn¡¯t teach him to chant scriptures every day, moreover, he didn¡¯t know how either¡ In fact, what Qing Chen believed in, Li Fan didn¡¯t care about; the main thing was that he didn¡¯t want him making trouble, constantly banging a wooden fish and chanting in his ear, that would be unbearable. ¡°Alright, then stay. From now on, you¡¯ll sweep the floor in this courtyard.¡± Li Fan spoke with a smile, deciding to have Qing Chen sweep the floor primarily because he remembered the character of a ¡°sweeping monk¡± from a TV series he had seen back on Earth. It suited Qing Chen perfectly. Upon hearing this, Qing Chen was ecstatic, bowing his head in worship, he eximed, ¡°Thankyou, Master, thank you, Master!¡± He understood very well that this great Buddha allowing him to sweep floors must certainly have a profound meaning! Seeing this, Dugu Yuqing hurriedly bowed as well, saying, ¡°Greetings, Master!¡± ¡°Alright, no need for excessive courtesy, stand up. It¡¯s not toote in the day, after dinner, I¡¯ll teach you both something tomorrow.¡± Li Fan said. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Zi Ling and Nan Feng had already finished cooking the dishes, and they brought them out one by one. When Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen saw what was called ¡°dinner,¡± they were both dumbstruck. ¡°Is this scrambled eggs with tomatoes¡ Why do I feel that these tomatoes, these eggs, are imbued with supreme Immortal Spirit Qi, and even contain Dao patterns¡¡± Dugu Yuqing was shocked. Qing Chen felt dizzy, the whole table of dishes, at a nce, were all Holy Medicine! A Holy Medicine feast?! Could this be any more heart-stirring! The two of them exchanged a nce, feeling extremelyplex inside. This is¡ too extravagant! ¡°Let me introduce you, Dugu Yuqing, Qing Chen, these two people will be your junior brothers from now on.¡± Li Fan introduced them to Zi Ling, Nan Feng, Long Zixuan, and Lu Rang, and also had them introduce themselves. It didn¡¯t take long before everyone got to know each other. ¡°Eat up, junior brothers, when we first came here, we were also very surprised, but after gradually adapting, you¡¯lle to understand, this is¡ everyday life!¡± Long Zixuan spoke up. ¡°Hehe, junior brothers, tomorrow I¡¯ll take you to see my vegetable garden, these vegetables¡ they all grew in the garden¡¡± Lu Rang said with a smile. Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen both took a deep breath and started eating. As the food entered their mouths. They were shocked once again. Dugu Yuqing¡¯s strength surged, skyrocketing from the Hollow Void Second Heaven all the way to the Hollow Void Eighth Heaven! And Qing Chen, after just a few bites of food, discovered that endless vitality was continuously repairing his shattered Dao foundation! He had already be a cripple, but now, he seemed to be gradually recovering¡ He was even more thrilled and excited to the extreme! He had made the right choice! ¡°Now I understand why Brother Long and Brother Lu are so outstanding¡¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke somewhat dazedly, with such a master, such living conditions¡ it would be hard not to be outstanding! Qing Chen wore aplex expression: ¡°Brother Long and Brother Lu are indeed prodigies, but Senior Sister Zi Ling and Sister Nan Feng seem even more fearsome. Perhaps, we should feel lucky that it wasn¡¯t them who went to battle the Divine Sword Sect and the Luofu Holy Landst time¡¡± While everyone was eating, they suddenly felt that Nan Feng¡¯s aura transformed in that instant! All eyes were on Nan Feng in disbelief! The aura of the Immortal Path spread out, with endless Dao charm! Nan Feng paused for a moment and then calmly said, ¡°Sorry, junior brothers, I didn¡¯t control it well¡ I¡¯ve be an immortal.¡± I didn¡¯t control it well¡ I¡¯ve be an immortal¡ Hearing this, Long Zixuan, Dugu Yuqing, and the others were almost in tears! Chapter 84 - 79 Demon Monarch’s Birth 1 Chapter 84: Chapter 79 Demon Monarch¡¯s Birth 1 Trantor: 549690339 I couldn¡¯t control it, and I became an immortal. Nan Feng¡¯s calm words left Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and the others dumbfounded. That¡¯s even possible¡ Bing immortal just by eating¡ Such a monster, an absolute monster indeed. Hehe, I just knew it, sister had already reached this step, it was just a matter of whether she wanted to or not.¡± Zi Ling smiled radiantly, her little canine teeth sparkling brightly. It seems we need to step up our efforts! Dugu Yuqing and Qing Chen both secretly made up their minds! The next day. Li Fan took the ink treasure and rice paper from the study. Yu Qing, if you want to learn calligraphy, you must start with the most basic things!¡± Li Fan spoke, and Dugu Yuqing and the others stood aside, listening to his guidance. Although Nan Feng and Zi Ling did not study calligraphy, there was much to learn from it, so they too were watching. And in calligraphy, the very first stroke is this ¡®one¡¯ character! Li Fan dipped his brush deeply in ink, lifted it, and brought it down onto the rice paper! In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in a trance, as if they had seen the birth of the universe, a vast chaos! The brush moved with a smooth-flowing motion,pleting the stroke in one go! Clearly, they saw amidst the primordial cosmos a peerless and astonishing sword light that seemed like a bolt from the heavens, like a surging river, cutting through all chaos! Opening of the heavens! Division of the earth! When Li Fan¡¯s brush finally stopped, and he gently lifted it, the onlookers vaguely saw the growth of myriad things, the evolution of myriad spirits, the whole world thriving and flourishing! Heaven¡ This, this is the Heaven Opening Sword! Even those who do not understand calligraphy can feel the peerless sword intent, as if it permeates from the long river of time¡¡± The might of opening the heavens and splitting the earth disperses even the chaos and primordial essence¡¡± All the disciples were utterly astounded. And Dugu Yuqing fixated on the new ¡°one¡± character on the rice paper! ck characters on white paper. Yet, he saw the beginning of the Great Dao, the dispersion of primordial essence, the opening of heavens and the splitting of the earth. This Sword, invincible! Heaven Opening Sword, shatters the primordial essence¡ What kind of existence is my master¡¡± He muttered to himself. Li Fan looked at the expressions of his disciples and also revealed a slight smile on his face. When he first practiced calligraphy, it took him who knows how long to perfect just this ¡°one¡± character. But if one could truly master the ¡°one¡± character, they would be able to enter the halls of proficiency. You should practice on your own, if you are talented enough, maybe you¡¯ll master it in one or two months.¡± Li Fan spoke. But Dugu Yuqing¡¯s eyes were filled with bitterness. One or two months? He was afraid he wouldn¡¯t evene close to the form in one or two months, because the ¡°one¡± character contained too much. In his master¡¯s eyes, perhaps only those with innate talents that were hard to find in the Myriad Realms could be considered ¡°talented enough.¡± Nevertheless, he deeply nodded and said, ¡°Master, rest assured, your disciple will give his all!¡± Li Fan nodded, then turned to look at Qing Chen. Sweeping the floor is something most people can do, yet you could also say most people don¡¯t know how to do it.¡± Li Fan casually picked up a broom and swept with it! Suddenly, everyone seemed to perceive the Great Dao flowing, the world transforming! The vast expanse of the void almost trembled with this sweep. Is the ground clean now? It looks clean, but that¡¯s just it. Li Fan pointed to the ground and said, ¡°The purpose of sweeping is to be spotless, to make even ¡®Three Lives Soil¡¯ bright as a mirror, which is also a very rare joy.¡± At these words, Qing Chen¡¯s Dao heart trembled immensely. Indeed, it is a giant Buddha beyond imagination, a few brief words yet so full of Zen insight¡ Senior means, we must not use our eyes to sweep, but our hearts!¡± Senior is asking me to sweep, not the floor, but my own heart¡ ¡®Three Lives Soil¡¯ as bright as a mirror, I suddenly understand what ¡®the heart is the bright mirror stand¡¯ means, Senior Li has truly awakened me with a word!¡± Shaken, he nowpletely understood the intent behind Senior Li asking him to sweep the floor and earnestly nodded, ¡°Many thanks to my master!¡± Your disciple will surely reach the ¡®spotless¡¯ Realm someday! Li Fan handed the broom to him and said, ¡°You can do it. At this moment. In the depths of the Cangli Mountain Range. A thousand zhang beneath the Supreme Burial Ground. The Demon Monarch returns, Demon Monarch, return! Return! The bald man shouted loudly, kneeling on the ground, looking extremely agitated. From the coffin, ck qi continuously spilled out, dense to the extreme. He clearly felt that a demonic aura had begun to emerge within the coffin! All these years, I have searched the Immortal Domain, found countless treasures, and nurtured them with the iron coffin of the Demon Monarch, the Primeval Soul will surely be reborn!¡± The Demon Monarch will once again reign over thend! He shouted, reciting an ancient demon spell. In an instant, the coffin filled with a surge of ck Qi, as if something terrifying was breathing in and out! Creak! Immediately after, at the next moment, the iron coffin suddenly made a noise! It was as though something was pushing on the iron coffin¡¯s lid! Demon Monarch, are you about to emerge? Haha, you¡¯re finally about to reappear, and the Immortal Domain and Myriad Realms will once again tremble under your grip¡¡± The bald man¡¯s eyes brimmed with hot tears; he had been waiting for this moment for a thousand years! Along with the creaking sounds, the lid of the iron coffin shifted, revealing a crack. A pale little hand suddenly stretched out from the dark iron coffin! That small hand clutched at the lid and flung it outward! Whoosh! The lid immediately flew off, creating a roaring sound as it crashed heavily onto the floor of the secret chamber at the next moment! With tears streaming down his face, the bald man lifted his gaze toward the coffin! But, at the next moment, he waspletely stunned. Because a little girl with a paleplexion had crawled out from the coffin, sitting atop it! She appeared to be only seven or eight years old. She had a pair of big eyes, but her face was as pale as wax, and she was dressed in in cloth clothes from an unknown origin. ¡°You¡ who are you¡?¡± The bald man was instantly shocked, filled with doubt! What in the world was going on?! The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, ¡°You are Ming Tianbei.¡± During the few hundred years of my slumber, I¡¯ve heard your prayers quite a few times, which were really annoying¡ªinterrupting my sleep.¡± Upon hearing this, the bald man, Ming Tianbei, immediately became excited. This little girl before him¡ was the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul! The Demon Monarch¡ had been reborn! Although he had never imagined that the Demon Monarch would be female, as long as the Demon Monarch was reborn, nothing else mattered! Today, the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul had only just reappeared, and he believed that, given time, the Demon Monarch would grow rapidly and once again make the heavens and myriad realms tremble! He prostrated himself in deep reverence and said, ¡°Ming Tianbei pays his respects to the Nine Holy Demon Monarch!¡± If Gong Ya Demon Marshal knew that you have finally been reborn, she would certainly be overjoyed!¡± Gong Ya Demon Marshal¡± was one of the Nine Holy Demon Monarchs¡¯ nine major Demon Marshals and was also Ming Tianbei¡¯s master. The little girl nced at Ming Tianbei, then her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, ¡°I can feel the presence of my other Primeval Souls¡ unwanted guests areing.¡± Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei¡¯s expression drastically changed. ¡ª Since the Demon Monarch had failed in the attempt to ascend to the Immortal King Realm thousands of years ago, the Nine Soul Paths had been scattered across the heavens! The followers of the Demon Cult, led by the nine major Demon Marshals, had split into nine factions; each faction worshipped a part of the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul¡ and to have the Demon Monarch ascend to the pinnacle once more, the Nine Soul Paths needed to unite as one. And the reborn Primeval Soul had its own consciousness and would chase after the other Primeval Souls to devour them! Thus, the factions within the Demon Cult already considered the Primeval Souls they followed as the orthodox ones, and they had long been fighting each other fiercely¡ Could it be that even hidden in such a remote location in the Lower World, they had still been discovered by other branches of the Demon Cult? While he was in a state of shock and confusion, a cold and icy voice had already risen: The Primeval Soul has emerged, Demon Guard Can Ge, weing the union of the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul!¡± Please, Primeval Soul, apany me toplete the Demon Monarch¡¯s true form!¡± The figure of a young man slowly appeared in the secret chamber! He was bald, with demonic runes inscribed on his forehead, his upper body bare, his presence extremely threatening, and in his hand he held a ck Demon Bottle! Demon Guard Can Ge¡ you¡¯re one of Jing Mie Demon Marshal¡¯s men¡? How did you find this ce?¡± Ming Tianbei eximed in shock, and at the same time, he quickly spread out his hands and stood behind the little girl, shouting, ¡°Demon Monarch, you must flee!¡± They had finally revived this Primeval Soul, and if it were taken by Jing Mie Demon Marshal, their entire faction would be finished! Heh, think you, a mere Xuanmo, can stop me? Can Ge let out a coldugh and suddenly opened the Demon Bottle in his hand. In an instant, demonic Qi tumbled about! Ming Tianbei¡¯splexion changed dramatically as his demonic body was tugged by the demonic force, nearly splitting apart! Behind him, slender streams of demonic Qi were being sucked away from the little girl by some force! So annoying!¡± The little girl frowned deeply, then suddenly stood up, grabbed hold of Ming Tianbei, and with a swift motion of her small hand through the air, It was as if a chasm had opened up between them and the bald young man! They disappeared directly from the secret chamber. The next moment, they had appeared in the Cangli Mountain Range. Carry me on your back! The little girl spoke urgently, ¡°Run! I¡¯m still in the ¡®Spiritual Sprout¡¯ state, my strength is far from recovered, I can only hold him off for a moment.¡± Ming Tianbei promptly carried the little girl on his back, took a step forward, and traversed through the void! But no sooner had they touched the sky, a towering demonic Qi was already in pursuit from behind! So fast! Ming Tianbei¡¯s face looked grim as he ran with all his might to escape. Yet, the demonic Qi behind them was still getting ever closer! Hmm? Suddenly, the little girl looked down at the ground below and said, ¡°Quick,nd, I feel an extraordinarily unordinary aura below!¡± Ming Tianbei obeyed hermand to descend, and the ground soon came into view. They saw that this area was the periphery of the Cangli Mountain Range, and amidst the dpidated mountains, there was an anomaly¡ªa small vige that was inexplicably unharmed! Chapter 85 - 80 Immortal Domain Tycoon?_1 Chapter 85: Chapter 80 Immortal Domain Tycoon?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Seeing the small mountain vige below, Ming Tianbei was immediately shocked. ¡°The boundless Cangli Mountain Range has already been destroyed, yet how could this small vige remain unharmed?¡± ¡°Moreover, just by observing from afar, there¡¯s a sense of mystery and unpredictability!¡± He pondered in his heart, somewhat hesitant. ¡°Go down, hide in the vige.¡± On his back, the little girl spoke, saying, ¡°He¡¯s almost upon us!¡± Thinking of the pursuers behind him, Ming Tianbei could only grit his teeth and say, ¡°Fine!¡± He hurriedly descended towards the small vige! At this moment. On the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, two middle-aged men dressed in linen were gradually approaching. ¡°ording to the information we have gathered, that so-called expert from the Southern Territory is hiding in that small vige ahead!¡± Wang Chuan spoke, his expression solemn, saying, ¡°We cannot approach rashly; if indeed a demon cultivator is hiding within, it is more likely we will encounter misfortune than fortune¡¡± These two men were, indeed, two True Immortals who hade to the Southern Territory from the Xuanhuang Mist Sea of the Xuantian Realm! ¡ªEver since the battle at Taiyan Holy Land, news of an extraordinary person hiding on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range had spread amongst the upper echelons in the Xuantian Realm; upon their arrival in the Southern Territory, they quickly inquired about it. The leading Yu Chenbing had a cold look in his eyes as he said, ¡°We must get closer to take a look!¡± ¡°As long as we can confirm that he who is hidden here is that demon cultivator, then everything else will be easy to handle!¡± The two men approached slowly. ¡°Eh? What is that?!¡± Suddenly, Wang Chuan eximed in surprise. Both men immediately stopped. Yu Chenbing looked up and saw above the small vige in the distance, dark mist billowing, and demonic Qi surging! Even from afar, they could feel the terrifying demonic might, causing their very souls to tremble! ¡°No¡ Could it truly be, truly be the Demon Race?!¡± Wang Chuan was shocked. ¡°From afar, this demon cultivator¡¯s cultivation level seems far above that of a True Immortal, and even¡ surpassing a Profound Immortal?!¡± Yu Chenbing¡¯s face also became grave! The two did not dare to approach but could only watch from a distance as the dark mist gradually descended, seeming to have entered the small vige. ¡°This time, we can be certain, Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei is indeed hiding here!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Without any hesitation, Yu Chenbing turned and left! They had obtained the information they were seeking; there was no point in staying any longer. Inside the small mountain vige. Ming Tianbei, carrying the little girl on his back, ran swiftly towards the front! When hended in this small vige, he found to his dismay that his demonic power was greatly suppressed, so much so that he couldn¡¯t even take flight! He was at the strength level of the Xuanmo Realm! To be suppressed to such an extent, this ce could almostpare to some forbidden regions in the Immortal Domain, right? What exactly was here? But he had no time to think further. The young man behind him was still in pursuit! After the young mannded, his speed too could not increase anymore. ¡°What kind of ce is this¡ Why is it so strange?¡± Can Ge¡¯s face was a mix of surprise and uncertainty, hesitating whether or not to follow inside. But as he hesitated, the front-running Ming Tianbei had already carried the little girl and disappeared out of sight! ¡°No matter, I must take back the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul!¡± He clenched his teeth and followed suit! One after the other, they ran at top speed through the vige. Not long after, a small courtyard suddenly appeared before Ming Tianbei¡¯s eyes! ¡°Stop!¡± The little girl suddenly spoke urgently. ¡°This¡ What kind of courtyard is this? Heaven, I can clearly see the aura of the Immortal Path swirling like a vast sea, with the sounds of Dao subtly circting¡¡± Ming Tianbei murmured while desperation shed in his eyes. ¡°Demon Monarch¡ the one living in seclusion here appears to be a formidable entity from the Immortal Realm!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve blundered into the line of fire¡¡± He spoke sadly! ¡ªThe Demon Race, bom in the Demon Domain, has always been ipatible with the Immortal Domain! In thest few epochs, both sides have even battled frequently across the Taboo Sea Area that separates the two realms! And now, the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul has collided with a powerful being of the Immortal Realm¡ We¡¯re definitely doomed! However, the little girl thought for a moment and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go in!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not wise, Demon Monarch, this is the residence of a great Immortal Realm power¡¡± Ming Tianbei said. But the little girl jumped down from his back and said, ¡°How could such a distinguished individual exist in the tiny Xuantian Realm? Perhaps, he¡¯s been waiting for me, who knows!¡± After speaking, she walked up and knocked on the door, calling out, ¡°Is anyone there?¡± ¡°Demon Monarch¡¡± Ming Tianbei wanted toe forward, but after taking just one step, he discovered that a terrifying presence instantly suppressed him! His entire strength of the Xuanmo Realm was suppressed at that moment! He was reduced to the level of a mere mortal! His expression turned to one of extreme shock; this small courtyard was terrifyingly powerful, such that merely stepping forward¡ He even suspected that if he took another step, he would be reduced to ashes! But why could the Demon Monarch approach? Right, the Demon Monarch had just awakened and was in the ¡°Spiritual Sprout¡± state; in a sense, she was not really a demon cultivator yet! Inside the small courtyard. Li Fan had nothing particr to do. While sipping his tea, he was giving instructions to a few disciples when he suddenly heard the sound of knocking. ¡°Nan Feng, go see who it is.¡± Li Fan said. Nan Feng immediately went to the door and opened it to find a little girl standing outside, appearing somewhat timid. The little girl was dressed in rough cloth, herplexion rather pale. ¡°Little sister, who are you? What brings you here?¡± Nan Feng asked curiously. ¡°Sister, there are bad people chasing us¡ My uncle and I are fleeing for our lives, those bad people want to kill us,¡± the little girl said fearfully. Nan Feng felt moved upon hearing this, she looked outside and saw a bald man, sweating profusely, struggling to look this way! Now an Immortal, Nan Feng could tell that the bald man was a cultivator, and that his aura was exceedingly extraordinary! ¡°Little sister,e inside with me first!¡± She immediately scooped up the little girl and walked into the courtyard. As they entered the courtyard, the little girl¡¯srge eyes shed with a trace of terror. The note on the Pantao Tree drooped slightly. The hen pecking at the ground briefly looked up. The carp in the pond flicked its tail. The little girl paused for a moment, and then herrge eyes welled up with tears, and she immediately burst into tears! ¡°Wu wu¡ I didn¡¯t mean to barge in¡ I¡¯m not a bad person, please¡ I¡¯m scared¡¡± Muttering, she looked around the courtyard in panic¡ What ce is this exactly¡ Why are there so many terrifying beings, each one stronger than thest! She was genuinely scared! At that moment, Li Fan finally spoke up, ¡°Nan Feng, what¡¯s going on?¡± At the sound of this voice, the little girl immediately felt the fear of being watched by unknown terrifying beings vanish; she wiped her tears and looked over to see a young man sitting at the stone table. Is this the master of this ce? Curiosity immediately filled her tearful big eyes! So young, yet able tomand such terrifying followers¡ Unimaginable! She thought perhaps this was an ancient figure of immense power¡ Nan Feng said, ¡°Master, this little girl knocked on the door, iming someone was trying to kill her and her uncle¡ Seeing that she was just a mortal, I brought her in.¡± Having said this, he set the little girl down. Li Fan nced at the little girl upon hearing this. Dressed in coarse cloth, yet her skin was tender and delicate! This indicated that her appearance was deliberately crafted, a disguise! Pale skin suggested she was ill! Plus, she was being pursued. Li Fan instantly thought that perhaps this little girl was some rich family¡¯s daughter, who could only disguise herself and flee from her family¡¯s enemies due to some incident at home! That¡¯s how it¡¯s written in novels, right! However, regardless of who this little girl was, he had to save her first. Saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda! ¡°She is no ordinary person.¡± Li Fan said calmly, ¡°But, since she has entered, let her stay for now.¡± At these words, the little girl was shocked. Sure enough, an ancient figure beyond imagination had seen through her identity¡ But, it seemed he did not care about who she was¡ and he seemed quite amiable! Her big eyes blinked and she suddenly stepped forward coyly, saying, ¡°Thank you¡ senior.¡± ¡°No need to call me senior, just call me Big Brother,¡± Li Fan said with a smile, looking towards Nan Feng, ¡°What about her uncle?¡± Nan Feng said, ¡°Her uncle is no ordinary person¡ He did not dare to enter!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately understood; that so-called uncle must mostly be some sort of bodyguard for the little girl! It was better to not let such people in and disturb the tranquility of the courtyard. Li Fan nodded, ¡°Let him leave for now. As for those pursuers, if theye, this ce will give them more than they bargained for.¡± With the likes of Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and Qing Chen ¨C four men ¨C in this little courtyard, was there fear of trouble? Even a group fight wouldn¡¯t be a concern. Moreover, in this small mountain vige, Li Fan was confident in the rapport he had with his people. In a crisis, with just one shout from him, people of all ages would grab their tools to help! That was the foundation of his confidence. Nan Feng, upon hearing this, responded with a yes and was about to leave when the little girl tugged at her hand and said, ¡°Sister, I wille with you. I still have something to say to Uncle.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Nan Feng, apanied by the little girl, walked to the door and said, ¡°My mastermands you to leave for now.¡± Outside the small courtyard, upon hearing these words, Ming Tianbei¡¯s face suddenly turned very ugly. How could he leave the Demon Monarch? After all, the Demon Monarch¡¯s primeval soul still needed protection! However, the little girl had already spoken, saying, ¡°Uncle, you should find somewhere to hide for a while. The elders here will protect me¡ This is the safest ce!¡± Ming Tianbei was shocked! Who exactly was residing here, to be able to make the Demon Monarch¡ call them an elder!? The one living here must be a giant from the Immortal Domain! And, it seemed that the Demon Monarch¡¯s intention was for him to leave first¡ He dared not disobey and immediately said, ¡°As youmand!¡± After saying this, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight. Nan Feng closed the door. Soon after, outside the small courtyard. The bald young man holding a ck demon bottle finally appeared here. ¡°The aura of the primeval soul reached this ce¡¡± The young man looked toward the small courtyard ahead and was greatly shaken. ¡°Wu¡¯erXianting!¡± These four characters were like the Heavenly Dao, imposing and profound! The whole courtyard seemed like a vast world unto itself! ¡°How is this possible¡ What ce is this? Could it be¡ Could it be the residence of a powerful Immortal Domain expert?!¡± He muttered to himself, deep in thought, when suddenly a chill shed in his eyes as he said, ¡°I understand now, the Gong Ya Demon Marshal lineage has colluded with the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°How despicable! I want to see who dares to snatch someone from the hands of Jing Mie Demon Marshal!¡± He took a step forward. Pressure like a mountain! He could hardly take another step! Can Ge¡¯s face changed drastically. How could this be¡ After all, he was a peak Xuanmo Realm cultivator. What ce was this, really? But then, rage surged in his face! ¡°No¡ I have the demon bottle bestowed by the Demon Marshal, who can stop me?! Who can stop me!¡± He roared, stimting the power contained within the demon bottle! A wisp of demonic qi was released. But, it was just in that instant, a surge of qi emerged from the four characters ¡°Wu¡¯erXianting¡±! ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± The bald young man suddenly spat out a mouthful of ck blood and knelt on the ground! The demon bottle in his hand¡ had shattered directly! Ming Tianbei walked briskly away from the small courtyard, but he still hesitated! ¡°No, the people of Jing Mie Demon Marshal, holding the demon bottle, possess great power. Besides, that mysterious entity is oblivious. I should go back and take a look!¡± Unable to resist, he turned and ran back. After a short while, he returned to the front of the small courtyard and upon seeing what was before him, was instantly dumbfounded! Chapter 86 - 81 The Intention of the Superior Personi Chapter 86: Chapter 81 The Intention of the Superior Personi Trantor: 549690339 | Ming Tianbei clearly saw that at this moment, Can Ge knelt outside the small courtyard! His body, inch by inch shattered! And then it disappeared, evaporated! Even the Demon Bottle bestowed by the Demon Marshal had shattered, its demonic essencepletely vanished without a trace, leaving behind only some powder, drifting away with the wind¡ Ming Tianbei was dumbfounded. His body even started trembling faintly! Can Ge¡¯s cultivation level was also at the peak of the Xuanmo Realm! Moreover, he had treasures given by the Demon Marshal. It was said that in the Lower World, unless a true powerhouse took action, he could not possibly be troubled. But now, Can Ge was simply approaching the small courtyard, and he was wiped outpletely and cleanly! Just who on earth is in this small courtyard? He thought of the ¡°senior¡± the Demon Monarch personally mentioned! ¡°It seems that the Demon Monarch has connections with some terrifying beings in the Immortal Domain, it must be so, and now he has received protection from them¡ With such a senior, the Demon Monarch¡¯s primeval soul should be safe for now¡¡± He murmured, ¡°I should now hide myself, secretly protect the Demon Monarch, and at the same time, notify Gong Ya Demon Marshal!¡± He immediately withdrew quietly, not daring to approach the terrifying small courtyard! At this moment. Xuan Tian Realm, on the periphery of the secret Xuanhuang Mist Sea. Two rays of light were fast approaching. Before long, two middle-aged men dressed in linen clothes had appeared. It was none other than Yu Chenbing and Wang Chuan! ¡°How did it go? Have you figured out the identity of that existence in the Southern Territory?¡± ¡°Is it that demon cultivator?¡± Everyone crowded around, asking one after another. Yu Chenbing nodded and said, ¡°Just as expected, the one from the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm is Ming Tianbei, who descended from the Demon Domain of the Saint Cloud City of the Immortal Realm three hundred years ago!¡± ¡°Moreover, his current cultivation level is at least at the Mysterious Immortal Peak Realm!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone had a serious expression. ¡°Mysterious Immortal Peak¡ We are no match for him, unless we find someone of the same level from the Sub-rudder toe. And to be safe, we can¡¯t just send one!¡± ¡°Right, it¡¯s a pity that Xuan Tian Realm¡¯s status is insufficient. If a Heavenly Immortal came, it would cause chaos, otherwise, we could just have a Heavenly Immortale directly¡¡± ¡°We can¡¯t dy; we must inform the Sub-rudder immediately.¡± Everyone spoke in turn. But on Yu Chenbing¡¯s face, there was only a hint of a cold smile. ¡°Why involve the Sub-rudder?¡± He said coldly, ¡°Now that we have identified this person, as long as Northern Immortal Domain¡¯s Saint Cloud City learns that the demon cultivator who stole the Heavenly Soul Sect¡¯s Heavenly Soul Pearl three hundred years ago is hiding here, they will naturally take action!¡± ¡°Let them do the dirty work.¡± ¡°I will immediately send a message to Chen Yun, letting him spread the news!¡± The small mountain vige. It was time for dinner again. A group of disciples had already sat down, looking forward to their meal. Nan Feng and Zi Ling were busy in the kitchen for a while, bringing out the meals, a table full of fragrant dishes. Everyone started to eat right away. The little girl sat next to Li Fan, and watching this scene, she was shocked. ¡± Holy Medicine¡ even in the Demon Pce, it is rarely enjoyed¡¡± She murmured in her heart. Li Fan ced a chopsticks-full of vegetables into her bowl and said with a smile, ¡°It looks like you haven¡¯t had a proper meal for a long time, hurry up and eat, you¡¯re still growing.¡± This child had been on the run for so long, definitely alternating between full and starving. Since he had taken her in, Li Fan naturally wanted her to live a bit better. ¡°He has realized my identity, knows I¡¯ve been dormant for a thousand years, and moreover, has specially prepared Holy Medicine to help me grow¡¡± The little girl murmured to herself, hesitated for a moment, and then looking at Li Fan, said, ¡°Big Brother¡ why are you so nice to me?¡± As she spoke, her tender voice trembled slightly. It was you who asked me to call you Big Brother¡ It¡¯s not that I¡¯m being disrespectful¡ These thoughts were filling her mind. And her words, of course, were an indirect inquiry, asking what intentions this senior had towards her¡ Li Fan only smiled and said, ¡°Because you¡¯re still a child.¡± He paused, then added, ¡°Stay here for the time being; there¡¯s no need to worry¡ I knowyou¡¯ve been through a lot in the past, but some memories should be forgotten. If possible, think of this ce as a home and start anew.¡± He wasforting the little girl. After all, she was just a child, and had already been through so much, her family had surely suffered great hardships, and she was being hunted¡ Such childhood memories could easily affect her future growth. Li Fan hoped she wouldn¡¯t have to worry or be scared, and could forget some of those painful memories to live a happy life. But the little girl was stunned. Because she was still just a child¡? It seemed that her identity and past could not escape the prating eyes of this senior; he had seen through everything! To have her forget her past, was he trying to make her forget everything about the Nine Holy Demon Monarch? Start over? Did this mean that he wanted to reshape her life? The little girl pondered this, growing more and more convinced that this senior likely intended to change her life, to have her abandon everything of the Demon Race? She felt she couldn¡¯t see through this senior at all. What exactly were the intentions of such a noble person? She wasn¡¯t sure. In her Spiritual Sprout state, she was both naive and mature¡ not thinking of many things, but she understood that she must have fallen into the hands of this noble person! All she could do was silently nod and say, ¡°I will listen to¡ Big Brother.¡± In front of such a senior¡ She, a Demon Monarch, must appear obedient, and not anger him at any costs! She thought to herself. Li Fan smiled, reached out to tousle the little girl¡¯s hair, and asked, ¡°What is your name?¡± The little girl was about to say the words ¡°Nine Holy¡±, but suddenly remembered that Li Fan had asked her to forget everything¡ She blinked her big eyes and said, ¡°Big Brother¡ I¡¯ve already forgotten my previous name. Could you give me one?¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan thought for a moment and then said, ¡°How about Xinning? If the heart is peaceful, the sky could fall, and you would not be startled.¡± ¡°If the heart is peaceful, the sky could fall, and you would not be startled¡¡± The little girl repeated, then obediently said, ¡°Xinning thanks Big Brother!¡± Li Fan chuckled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Outside a small mountain vige, within a particr mountain peak. Ming Tianbei took out incense! It was a stick of ck incense made of an unknown material, exuding a faint and terrifying demonic aura. ¡°Lighting the Demon Soul Incense will let Gong Ya Demon Marshal know that the Demon Monarch has awakened¡ and she can also immediately locate my position ande quickly for support¡¡± He muttered, a wisp of pale blue me igniting in his hand. The me touched the stick of ck incense. The incense began to burn slowly. A stream of pale blue smoke gradually filled the stone chamber he was in, ultimately forming a pale blue wall of mist! Within the wall of mist seemed to swirl countless demonic shadows, hordes of Fierce Ghosts wailing, and a chilling wind blowing, causing even the entire mountain peak outside to howl with the wind! ¡°Demon Guard Ming Tianbei seeks an audience with the Demon Marshal!¡± ¡°Demon Guard Ming Tianbei seeks an audience with the Demon Marshal!¡± He kept calling out, summoning! It didn¡¯t take long. From within the pale blue smoke wall, a vague silhouette emerged. It seemed that one could make out a figure in a long dress, with an extremely lengthy hem and a tall figure, yet the face was not visible. ¡°Has the Demon Monarch awakened?¡± A faint voice, as ifing from a very distant ce, ethereal like a mist. Ming Tianbei knew that Gong Ya Demon Marshal wasmunicating with him across uncountable realms! ¡°Yes! Demon Marshal, the Demon Monarch has woken up, but Jing Mie Demon Marshal¡¯s people have discovered us, and today they pursued us¡¡± He spoke. ¡°Is the Demon Monarch safe now?¡± Gong Ya Demon Marshal¡¯s voice carried a hint of seriousness. ¡°Safe, in the Xuantian Realm, a formidable power from the Immortal Domain has taken in the Demon Monarch, and also killed the pursuers sent by Jing Mie Demon Marshal¡¡± Ming Tianbei answered. ¡°A giant of the Immortal Domain?¡ That¡¯s not good¡ I wille immediately¡¡± Gong Ya Demon Marshal¡¯s words grew fainter and ultimately disappeared. The pale blue mist wall slowly dissipated, and in front of Ming Tianbei, the Demon Soul Incense had burnt out! Chapter 87 - 82 Quiet Night Thoughts 1 Chapter 87: Chapter 82 Quiet Night Thoughts 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Northern Immortal Domain. Chen Yun, d in linen clothes, had been waiting in Saint Cloud City. It had been a long time, but he knew that his message had most likely been ryed via the ancient pce of the Immortal Monarch. However, the messages from Yu Chenbing and the others, even if sent, were still on their way. The Immortal Domain was simply too vast, and the barriers between it and the Lower World were difficult to prate. Even for a power as formidable as theirs, the process to transmit messages between the Immortal Domain and the Lower World was extremelyplex. ¡°Hmm?¡± But today, he finally saw the crystal ball light up! A golden message within the crystal ball flew directly into his mind. Chen Yun closed his eyes and then opened them a momentter. ¡°It really is the demon cultivator from Saint Cloud City who fled to the Lower World years ago!¡± He muttered to himself and sneered, saying, ¡°This could be considered a great gift for the Sect of the Heavenly Soul of Saint Cloud City!¡± Immediately after, he entered the city once more. This time, he disguised himself as amon cultivator and headed straight to a sub-rudder of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul. ¡°The demon cultivator Ming Tianbei, who stole the Heavenly Soul Sect¡¯s Heavenly Soul Pearl three hundred years ago, is now hiding in the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm!¡± He delivered a message and then quietly departed. The cultivators at the sub-rudder of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul were all shocked upon receiving the news. The events that happened three hundred years ago were known to almost everyone. No one had forgotten that the demon cultivator Ming Tianbei was still on their wanted list! Therefore, the sub-rudder swiftly conveyed the message to the Sect of the Heavenly Soul! The Sect of the Heavenly Soul was located at the heart of Saint Cloud City. At this moment. Inside the grand hall of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul, an elder in a gray robe walked briskly, approaching another elder seated in meditation within the hall! Thetter¡¯s hair was long enough to stretch over ten meters, trailing along the floor and still growing! The elder appeared to be only skin and bones, yet there was a hidden divine radiance in his brow. ¡°Sect Master, just now, one of our sub-rudders in the city received news that the demon cultivator Ming Tianbei, who stole the Heavenly Soul Pearl, is now hidden in the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm!¡± The elder who was meditating in the grand hall did not open his eyes, but his hair tips trembled slightly! ¡°Is the message urate?¡± An ancient and hoarse voice emanated from the grand hall. The elder in the gray robe spoke, ¡°Reporting to the hall master, it is not yet known for certain, but I suspect that it is not without basis¡¡± ¡°Send someone to the Lower World to verify the truth, then decide how to proceed!¡± The voice in the grand hall continued to ring out. The elder in the gray robe nodded, saying, ¡°I will send someone immediately!¡± He then turned and left. Before long, the gray-robed elder gathered various Great Elders of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul. He informed the Great Elders of the message. ¡°What? Hiding in Xuan Tian Realm?¡± ¡°I recall the hierarchy of Xuan Tian Realm is only at the level of Profound Immortal. I never expected him to hide there¡¡± ¡°We should descend immediately. Our sect¡¯s treasure has been missing for three hundred years, which has adversely affected the cultivation of our sect¡¯s powerhouses¡¡± Many elders spoke up! The gray-robed elder spoke, ¡°The Sect Master has ordered that we first send someone to investigate and verify before taking further action!¡± ¡°After all, if we deploy too many powerhouses to the Lower World without confirming the truth, the cost would be too great!¡± The crowd nodded in agreement. ¡°I will send my direct disciple, Xia Tong, whose cultivation level is just within the Immortal Realm¡ The bacsh from descending to the Lower World will not be significant!¡± Meanwhile. Southern Immortal Domain. To the entire Immortal Domain, the Southern Immortal Domain was like a barrier. The Southern Immortal Domain bordered the Forbidden Sea, and everyone knew that the Demon Domainy beyond the Forbidden Sea. The powerhouses of the Demon Domain, if they wished to enter Xuan Tian Realm, must first go through the Southern Immortal Domain! For nearly three thousand years, the Southern Immortal Domain had been embroiled in constant warfare! An Immortal-Demon War, even if only local in scope, could oftenst for centuries, which was all toomon. Three thousand years of warfare had plunged much of the Southern Territory into the quagmire of conflict. Since a few terrifying existences of the Demon Race took action in the Taboo Sea Area, the Southern Territory,cking in top-tier warriors, had be critically endangered, with its territories continually falling into enemy hands! And yet, the other four Immortal Domains turned a blind eye to the fate of the Southern Territory. Ever since a Demon Monarch emerged from the forbiddennds of the Dead Spirit Sea a hundred years ago, returning powerfully, his demon soldiers spread throughout the Southern Border of the Immortal Domain. A few months ago, in a major decisive battle, the Southern Immortal Domain nearly met its downfall. Yet, an ancient and radiant sword intent, from an unknown origin, cut down countless Demon Generals! ording to reports, under that sword, even Daluo Golden Immortals of the Demon Race suffered casualties! Taiyi Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals perished in even greater numbers. There were even rumors that ultimately, the terrifying Demon Monarchs within the Taboo Sea had no choice but to personally intervene to counter that sword! Because of that sword, all the demon soldiers scattered across the Southern Immortal Domain retreated! This had been the most significant event in the entire Immortal Domain in recent times! Currently, atop an ancient city wall. A group of Immortal Generals, their armor stained with the blood of demons. ¡°The demon soldiers have indeed withdrawn.¡± Among them, a square-faced middle-aged man, looking out over the vast and deste battlefield of Immortal and Demon, murmured as he held arge halberd, his presence extraordinarily formidable! ¡°It¡¯s because of that sword!¡± ¡°Yes, the sword from the Southern Border¡¯s Immortal King¡ªWuji Xianwang.¡± ¡°We cannot be certain that it was Wuji Xianwang who took action¡¡± The other Immortal Generals chimed in one after another. The middle-aged man with the halberd scanned the eighteen people in front of him and said, ¡°Only someone at the Monarch Level could possibly wield such an astonishing and peerless Sword Dao!¡± ¡°Perhaps it really was Wuji Xianwang, or perhaps not, but in any case, it at least shows that the person is willing to help the Southern Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°Imand you to turn from the front lines and search for the source of that sword!¡± ¡°In order to maintain peace in the Southern Immortal Domain¡ there must be an Immortal Monarch,¡± the middle-aged man carrying a great halberd said with a heavy voice! In front of him, eighteen resolute Immortal Generals all nodded solemnly! ¡°If we cannot find this being, we shall not return!¡± They roared in unison! The Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm. In a small mountain vige. The small courtyard was brimming with harmony. The once solitary and lonely courtyard teemed with life because of these disciples¡¯ arrival. Lu Rang was tending to the fields, sweat pouring from his brow. Long Zixuan was observing fish as if petrified. Qing Chen was sweeping the floor meticulously. Dugu Yuqing was practicing calligraphy with focused dedication. Nan Feng was ying the zither, the sound light and distant. Zi Ling was painting, eyes fixed intently on her work. Li Fan was enjoying tea, feeling quite content. ¡°Xinning, you¡¯re only eight years old. At this age, you cannot afford to neglect your studies. However, in this little mountain vige, there¡¯s no one else to teach you. How about I teach you to read?¡± Li Fan asked with a smile after taking a sip of his tea. This child should not be allowed to miss out on education. Upon hearing this, Xinning nodded and said, ¡°Thankyou, Big Brother!¡± Li Fan then said, ¡°Alright, I will start by teaching you poetry.¡± He stood up and walked over to Dugu Yuqing, who immediately stepped aside to make room. Seeing that Li Fan was about to write something, all disciples gathered around. Every time Li Fan demonstrated the Dao, it was a shock to them, rapidly enhancing their understanding of their own paths! Li Fan dipped his brush in ink, its tip soaked, and brought it down onto the rice paper! The characters flowed from his hand as though sketched with iron hooks and silver strokes,pletely fluid! In that instant, everyone felt as if the heaven and earth were trembling, as if the river of time were flowing, as if the dustden world was shifting! When Li Fan¡¯s brush lifted, a poem already adorned the rice paper: Quiet Night Thoughts Before my bed bright moonlight shines, is it frost upon the ground? I raise my head to view the moon, then lower it, lost in thoughts of home. Seeing the poem, everyone present was deeply shaken. ¡°Just by ncing at it, I felt as if an Immortal being sitting in solitude through the ages, was gently chanting, wrapped in sorrow¡¡± murmured Long Zixuan. ¡°Such a strong Sword Intent¡ Different from the previous Heaven Opening Sword, this Sword Intent carries a sense of deste sorrow that¡¯s like a relentless river, stirring empathy in the heart¡ Is the Master trying to tell me that the sword embodies not only a relentless decisiveness but also a deep, heartfelt emotion?¡± Dugu Yuqing reflected thoughtfully! ¡°Wow, this poem is just too beautiful. It sounds so beautiful when read aloud, and I can vaguely sense that it also includes a painting, merging art with poetry¡ Master is so talented, so immensely talented! Ahhh!¡± Zi Ling¡¯s face flushed with excitement as if she had discovered a new way of integrating painting with the Dao! Her eyes sparkled like stars as she looked at Li Fan. ¡°What kind of experiences did Master have? Behind his carefree demeanor, was there deep pain hidden? Underneath his power, was there an unspeakable sorrow?¡± Nan Feng murmured to herself, feeling a profound sadness from the poem¡ When she looked at Li Fan, for the first time, her gaze held an emotion beyond admiration. Even Xinning had her eyes wide open at this moment! What was this? These weren¡¯t just words, this was a Supreme Immortal Path! She was shocked. If such calligraphy appeared in the Immortal Domain or even the Demon Domain, wouldn¡¯t it provoke a war among Immortal Monarchs and Demon Monarchs? If she, at her peak as a Demon Monarch, had obtained such a piece of calligraphy, perhaps she would have had a greater chance of reaching the Immortal King Realm¡ But this ¡°Big Brother¡± just wrote it so casually and didn¡¯t even fear others seeing it! Li Fan, however, seemed unaware, as he picked up the calligraphy and said to Xinning, ¡°Do you recognize these characters?¡± Xinning, at a loss, shook her head. As a Demon Monarch who grew up in the Demon Domain, she rarely set foot in the Immortal Domain. How could she recognize the writing here? Furthermore, as a Cultivator, once a certain level is reached, it¡¯s possible to understand countlessnguages just by sweeping them with divine thought, without any need to learn them. Seeing this, Li Fan felt relieved in his heart. It was fortunate that he was a responsible person, otherwise, wouldn¡¯t he have missed the best time for the child to learn? ¡°Come, I will teach you the characters.¡± Li Fan hung up the poem and took out a teaching stick, pointing at the characters and reading aloud: ¡°Before my bed bright moonlight shines,¡± Xinning immediately sat down obediently like a good girl and followed the reading: ¡°Before my bed bright moonlight shines,¡± Li Fan continued: ¡°Is it frost upon the ground,¡± Xinning echoed: ¡°Is it frost upon the ground¡¡± In the courtyard, the sound of a young voice learning to read was suddenly heard. Time rushed by. Ever since the deaths of the two invading True Immortals in the Southern Territory, the Xuan Tian Realm had been unusually peaceful. A month shed by. On a day of clear skies. But above the skies of the Western Desert in the Xuan Tian Realm, space suddenly rippled as if something was trying to break into this world! Clouds scattered, space trembled! The barrier between worlds began to reveal itself! On the other side, one could see a young man, attempting to cross realms under the enhancement of an Array! Chapter 88 - 83 People from the Immortal Domaini Chapter 88: Chapter 83 People from the Immortal Domaini Trantor: 549690339 | Western Desert. Ever since Kongming Temple led the cultivators of the Western Desert to seek refuge in the Southern Territory, this vastnd had been left almost exclusively to ordinary people. Therefore, nobody sensed the anomalies urring in the sky. In the sky, the wind and thunder stirred violently. Space was trembling. One could see, on the other side of the world barrier, several figures assisting, various ancient arrays and treasures, all in operation! Eventually, a crack appeared in the world barrier! The cultivators on the other side of the barrier kept pushing, and the crack kept expanding! Finally, the crack was almost big enough for a person to pass through! The young man who had been waiting on the other side of the barrier took a step forward! In the next moment, the young man in a white robe crossed between two realms and appeared in this expanse of sky! It was at this instant, In a distant and secluded part of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea! An ancient tree with floating roots vast enough to cover tens of thousands of li, trembled suddenly. A terrifying aura was released instantaneously, cutting through space and time! This aura appeared directly above the Western Desert, shing towards the young man in the white robe! The white-robed young man, sensing the terrifying approach, was not panicked but calmly took out a jade token! When the green light from the jade token enveloped him, The aura still struck him! The young man¡¯s face immediately turned pale, and his body shook several times. ¡°Indeed, crossing between realmses with a high cost. Even though the sect gate used one of the few Primitive Realm Stones to assist me in crossing, upon entering this realm, I am still sensed by the World Tree and bear the ¡®Heaven¡¯s Will de¡¯ of this realm, which cuts off part of my cultivation¡¡± He murmured to himself, running his array method, absorbing the green light from the jade token into his body, slightly restoring some of his cultivation. ¡°Luckily, I am still in the Immortal Realm¡ Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be a disgrace to be looked down upon by the ants of this realm?¡± He sneered, taking a step and saying, ¡°Xuantian Realm, Ming Tianbei, I have arrived!¡± Hended on the ground. But then, he became confused. In this vast area, he had sensed not even one powerful cultivator. After a long time, he finally found a small sect. Even the sect leader was merely at the Foundation Building Realm, havingcked the qualifications to flee to the Southern Territory previously. Before long, he obtained some information, then left the small sect gate. ¡°The ants have all gone to the Southern Territory? Heh!¡± He took a step forward. For an Immortal, the Xuantian Realm was not vast. Soon, he had arrived in the Southern Territory. ¡°Taiyan Holy Land, is it?¡± He sneered, casually capturing a cultivator to read their soul, learning the location of the Taiyan Holy Land, and then set off directly. Meanwhile, Taiyan Holy Land. After that battle, the Taiyan Holy Land sustained tremendous damage; its gates had copsed, and parts of the mountains were even cracked open. However, fortunately, with its profound foundations and having received many resources after the destruction of Luofu Holy Land and Divine Sword Sect, the Taiyan Holy Land quickly began to rebuild. At this moment, in the Taiyan Holy Land, Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord had invited Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit. ¡°The two divine maidens, the reason we¡¯ve troubled you toe is that recently, the minds of the cultivators in the Southern Territory are unsettled.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke outright, ¡°Ever since those two True Immortals died in the Taiyan Holy Land, the Xuantian Realm has been peaceful for too long, and many believe the crisis has been averted. They wish to return to their ancestralnds¡¡± Initially, they came to the Southern Territory to escape cmity, and many forces and sects abandoned many resources and their homnd. Now that the danger has passed, it is normal for them to want to go back. ¡°It¡¯s just that we are unable to confirm whether the Xuantian Realm is truly safe now and if there might still be some unknown entities lurking in the shadows¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord continued, ¡°So we wanted to ask if Senior Li has any guidance on this matter?¡± Hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning looked at each other. ¡°Senior Li hasn¡¯t given any guidance on this issue¡¡± Fire Spirit shook her head. Mu Qianning said, ¡°In that case, I will consult with Senior Li. If the Xuantian Realm is safe, it would be better to let the various Holy Lands and sect gates return.¡± Hearing this, both Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao nodded, saying, ¡°Thank you, Divine Maiden Qian Ning.¡± ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll set out to see Senior Li right now.¡± Mu Qianning spoke, and the two of them were about to rise to their feet. But just then, ¡°A great enemy is attacking!¡± A loud shout rang out! All of them hurriedly went outside. Looking up, they saw a white-robed young man standing arrogantly in the air, looking down on the entire Taiyan Holy Land with disdain. ¡°An Immortal-level array that hasn¡¯t even reached the level of an Immortal, dares to block me?¡± With a wave of his hand, the breath of the Immortal Path violently descended! The Taiyan Holy Land¡¯s Mountain Protection Array was instantly shattered! Seeing this scene, both Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao gasped in shock! ¡°An Immortal?!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao eximed. ¡°Who is this person¡ Could he be with those two True Immortals?¡± Yuanyang spected uncertainly! Just at that moment, the arrogant youth had already broken through the grand Array of Taiyan Holy Land. He gracefullynded in Taiyan Holy Land, appearing directly in front of the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others. ¡°Uh, are you few the strongest here?¡± He looked down on them scornfully and said, ¡°Where is the Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei? Speak up, and you may not die.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke in a deep voice, ¡°We do not recognize any Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei! For you to barge into our sect like this, isn¡¯t this pushing people too far?!¡± ¡°Heh, pushing people too far? You¡¯re just an ant who isn¡¯t even an Immortal, and you think you¡¯re worthy of my bullying?¡± The disdainful young man waved his hand, and the aura of the Immortal Path unleashed with a bang! ¡°Pfft¡ª¡± Saint Lord Lingchao instantly spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face pale, suffering severe injuries! The chasm between Almost Immortal and Immortal is as vast as the heavens! Impossible to cross! ¡°You¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Mu Qianning hurriedly rushed to support Saint Lord Lingchao. ¡°You¡¯re far too harsh in your actions¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord also spoke gravely. However, before he could finish speaking, the youth had already pped him across the face! Despite being Almost Immortal, Yuanyang Holy Lord couldn¡¯t even dodge and was harshly smacked on the face, sent flying backward and crashing into a stone stairway dozens of meters away, raising dust and debris. ¡°Ah¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord let out a miserable cry! ¡°From this moment on, if you say another irrelevant word, I will kill one of you.¡± The white-robed youth spoke coldly. Seeing this, Fire Spirit angrily stepped forward and said, ¡°Just an Immortal, and you think you¡¯re the Lord of the Xuantian Realm?!¡± ¡°Still seeking death.¡± The white-robed youth sneered, looking up at Fire Spirit. Just as he was about to make his move, his eyes lit up. He noticed the hairpin pinned to Fire Spirit¡¯s hair! ¡°Eh? In this little Xuantian Realm, there¡¯s actually such a treasure?!¡± He was surprised, followed by tion,ughing heartily, ¡°Haha, truly, heaven is kind to me, allowing me to find such a treasure. Give it to me!¡± He reached out, making a grab for Fire Spirit! Fire Spirit, with anger in her eyes, swiftly pulled out the hairpin and made a sh! The hand that the white-robed youth extended toward Fire Spirit instantly severed! ¡°Ah¡ª¡± The white-robed youth let out a shrill and miserable cry! His arm was gushing with blood like a fountain! ¡°No¡ no, how can this be¡ I was clearly wearing a Profound Immortal Level armguard on my hand¡ Impossible!¡± His expression was one of horror! ¡ªThis time, for his safe return, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul had equipped him to the nines, and his whole body was covered in Immortal Artifacts! Moreover, in anticipation of the possibility that Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei would be in the Xuanmo Realm, they had furnished him with at least Profound Immortal Level Immortal Artifacts. His arm carried a Profound Immortal Level armguard. But, that Profound Immortal Level armguard was as if it didn¡¯t exist, and just a sh from her wooden hairpin¡ The arm was gone? He was terrified to the extreme! ¡°Do you think you¡¯re very proud?¡± ¡°Is being an Immortal so great?¡± Fire Spirit enunciated each word, furiously saying, ¡°Injuring others with your actions, this is the price you pay!¡± The white-robed youth, despite the intense pain in his arm, had a face flushed with indignant fury. Who was he? A visitor from the Immortal Realm! Lofty and supreme! The ¡°natives¡± of the Xuantian Realm should have been mere ants! ¡°You dare to insult me like this, do you know that I am an Immortal!¡± ¡°I am from above the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°You, you dare to insult me!¡± ¡°I will kill you!¡± He took out a Jade Token, immediately releasing a terrifying power! This was the biggest contingency the Sect of the Heavenly Soul had prepared for him, with the strength to contend even against Profound Immortals. A giant hand formed from a concentration of Immortal Spirit Force reached out towards Fire Spirit in an instant! The space trembled, the mountains shook, this strike was incredibly fearsome, even surpassing the two True Immortals who had appeared in Taiyan Holy Land initially! All over Taiyan Holy Land, numerous Cultivators felt it and were extraordinarily shaken. Fire Spirit, however, remainedposed, shaking her head, ¡°Obstinate and wilful!¡± Once again, she poured spiritual power into her wooden hairpin and swung it fiercely! In an instant, the Invisible hand formed from the power of a Profound Immortal dissipated! The white-robed youth was stunned for a moment. After that moment, his entire body split apart. Split into two halves! He was dead! Chapter 89 - 84 Senior Speaks Out 1 Chapter 89: Chapter 84 Senior Speaks Out 1 Trantor: 549690339 | The young man in the white robe just split in two suddenly died. Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were both shocked! As early as thest time, they had seen Mu Qianning use the same hairpin to kill two Almost Immortals with a mere swipe¡ At that time, they spected that it must be at least an Immortal Artifact! Now it seemed, it surpassed even Immortal Artifacts! Just as the young man in the white robe died, a green light suddenly burst from his body and shot into the sky! ¡°Is that¡ Is that a mark left by a supreme being on his body?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord eximed in surprise, saying, ¡°He has someone backing him!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s lips were still stained with blood, and he said with dread, ¡°He said just now¡ that he was from the Immortal Domain? Is that really true¡?¡± Immortal Domain! These two words made everyone¡¯s faces instantly be extremely solemn! That ce was an untouchable cloud, the high and mighty Master! A million Lower Worlds varied in strength, but no matter how strong, they were all beneath the Immortal Domain. To enter the Immortal Domain was the lifelong dream of countless cultivators from the Lower Worlds. In the Immortal Domain, one could obtain more cultivation resources, experience the baptism of the Immortal Path, and witness a boundless world. The existence above the Immortal Domain was worshipped by countless people from the Lower Worlds! But, had they actually killed someone from the Immortal Domain now? ¡°If he really was from the Immortal Domain, then I¡¯m afraid we, have invited trouble¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke bitterly, looking at the corpse of the young man in the white robe and murmured, ¡°But, he was equipped with Immortal Artifacts from head to toe¡ Apart from the Immortal Domain, what other exnation could there be?¡± ¡°What should we do now¡ If the Immortal Domain seeks retribution, I fear the entire Xuantian Realm will be destroyed because of this!¡± Fear was evident in Ling Chao¡¯s words! Because the Immortal Domain, in their minds, was the supreme and unsurpassable! Irresistible! Fire Spirit pondered for a moment and then said, ¡°If he truly was an existence from above the Immortal Domain, then perhaps only one person can counter the impending retribution of the Immortal Domain¡¡± She looked at Mu Qianning, and Mu Qianning immediately nodded, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go find Senior Li!¡± ¡°Even if he was from the Immortal Domain, he was a bad person! Senior Li won¡¯t me us, he will definitely protect us¡¡± The others nodded, this was the only method indeed. They then got up. At the same time. ¡°The people from Saint Cloud City of the Northern Immortal Domain are really a bunch of trash!¡± Wang Chuan returned to the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea and directly said, ¡°I just observed a life light flying back to the Immortal Domain at the edge of the Southern Territory¡ It looks like the person they sent is dead!¡± ¨C The moment the white-robed youth from the Sect of the Heavenly Soul descended to the Lower World, they had already discovered him. They followed him secretly, but due to dread, they did not dare to enter the Southern Territory and instead observed from the edge of it. ¡°So useless for someone from the Immortal Domain?¡± ¡°Although Saint Cloud City is just a small frontier city, it shouldn¡¯t bepletely helpless against a Xuanmo¡¡± The crowd spoke one after another. ¡°No need to panic,¡± At this moment, Yu Chenbing spoke, his lips curled into a cold smile, ¡°Clearly, the person who came this time was just probing.¡± ¡°Although we sent the message to Saint Cloud City, they also needed confirmation. Now that their scout has died so thoroughly, they should be able to confirm¡ The real good show is up next!¡± Hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement. At that moment. Northern Immortal Domain, Saint Cloud City. Within an ancient pce, a grey-robed elder walked in with a dark face, seeing the long-haired old man sitting dead still in the grand hall. A deep, hoarse voice echoed in the pce: ¡°How goes it? Any news of the Heaven Soul Bead?¡± The grey-robed elder shook his head, ¡°The Heaven Soul Bead has not been reimed, but we have confirmed that the Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei is indeed in the Xuantian Realm¡¯s Southern Territory!¡± ¡°I sent my disciple Xia Tong to the Lower World to investigate, and bestowed upon him numerous Profound Immortal Level treasures, but he couldn¡¯t even send back a message before he died¡¡± ¡°If I had not left a life light on him beforehand, we might not even know where he died.¡± The grand hall was silent for a long while before the hoarse voice spoke again: ¡°Utilize the Primitive Realm Stone, send enough people, reim the sect¡¯s treasure bead, and at the same time, eradicate the demon!¡± Eradicate the demon! The grey-robed elder nodded, ¡°As youmand!¡± After seeking instructions from the Sect Master, he walked into the outer hall. In the outer hall, many elders of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul were waiting. ¡°Elder Li Luo, what¡¯s the situation? Has the Sect Master made a decision?¡± ¡± When do we descend to the Lower World?¡± ¡°We can hardly wait to reim our sect¡¯s precious bead!¡± They spoke one after another! The grey-robed elder Li Luo waved his hand and said, ¡°The Sect Master has spoken, reim the Soul Bead, eradicate the Demon Cultivator!¡± ¡°I propose we send out the strongest Profound Immortal Level cultivators, utilize the Primitive Realm Stone to tear open the barrier, and descend to eliminate the demon!¡± His voice resonated throughout the Sect of the Heavenly Soul! The many elders in the hall nodded in approval! ¡°Yes, as long as we reim the Heaven Soul Bead, everything is worth it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s exactly what should be done!¡± ¡°Banish the demon!¡± They shouted in unison! Soon, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul sprang into action. They took out all the remaining Primitive Realm Stones of the sect and selected several of the most elite Profound Immortals! With the help of the Primitive Realm Stones, they would travel to Xuantian Realm with almost no loss in strength and aplish the feat of demon banishment. At this moment, they had gathered at a three-colored altar! That three-colored altar was none other than the Array used to open the barrier between realms. The strongest Profound Immortal-level experts of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul had already stepped forward! At this very moment. Xuantian Realm, Southern Territory. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning walked into a small mountain vige, and it wasn¡¯t long before they appeared outside ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting.¡± ¡°Is Senior Li here?¡± Mu Qianning spoke up. ¡°Come in.¡± The voice of Li Fan rang out, and the two pushed the door open and entered. As they entered the small courtyard, both of them were somewhat surprised; there were a few more people in Senior Li¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Qing Chen, Dugu Yuqing¡ Did they really be disciples of Senior Li?¡± Fire Spirit was surprised and said, ¡°It seems the rumors outside are true, the problem posed by Senior Li involved the eternal secrets of heaven and earth, and no one in Xuantian Realm can solve it. Senior Li¡¯s real intention was just to find the most determined person, hence, Qing Chen and Dugu Yuqing received such a fortune!¡± Mu Qianning was looking at a little girl who was sitting obediently in front of Li Fan, following along as he read poetry. The little girl looked to be about eight or nine years old, and her cute and well- behaved appearance was endearing to the extreme. ¡°Senior Li is teaching her to read¡ Senior Li is so kind-hearted!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but feel moved, with stars shining in her eyes. At that moment, Li Fan was again teaching Xinning to read ¡°Thoughts in the Silent Night¡± and looking up at the two, he smiled and said, ¡°Come and sit.¡± The two walked over, and Fire Spirit said, ¡°Congrattions, senior, on gaining a few more disciples.¡± Li Fan smiled and replied, ¡°It¡¯srgely thanks to you two. How have you been recently?¡± Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning exchanged a look, and Mu Qianning took a deep breath and said, ¡°Senior, we¡¯ve had an incident¡¡± ¡°Oh? What happened?¡± Li Fan asked with curiosity. Mu Qianning gestured toward the sky and said, ¡°Someone from above came looking for someone called ¡®Ming Tianbei.¡¯ They questioned us. We didn¡¯t know him, but they attacked us anyway, grievously injuring Senior Ling Chao and trying to snatch the hairpin you gave to Sister Ling¡¯er¡¡± Upon hearing this, Xinning¡¯srge eyes immediately blinked. Above¡ naturally referred to the Immortal Realm! Someone from the Immortal Realm came down to Xuantian Realm to search for Ming Tianbei?? Could it be that there were people above the Immortal Realm who had discovered her existence? At this thought, her little face showed concern. But then she thought about the terrifying beings hidden in this small courtyard, and the unimaginable supreme figure of ¡°Big Brother.¡± What did she have to be afraid of? Perhaps only those few most powerful beings could pose a threat if they were toe for her now, right? She immediately regained herposure. Yet upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but feel anger rising within him! What Mu Qianning referred to as ¡°someone from above¡± evidently pointed to those in official positions! ¡°Above,¡± in Li Fan¡¯s understanding, was a reference to the government. This meant that as Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit¡¯s business had grown, it had attracted the covetous eyes of those corrupt officials. Looking for someone was just an excuse; the real purpose was to extort them! Back on Blue Star, Li Fan had seen too many so-called ¡°people from above,¡± using various reasons to extort ordinary folks! This was uneptable! ¡°And then?¡± he inquired. ¡°We¡ in our urgency, we killed him¡¡± Mu Qianning hung her head. Fire Spirit also felt uneasy and said, ¡°Senior, it¡¯s all my fault for being reckless and causing trouble for you. If you wish to me anyone, please me me¡¡± However, to their words, Li Fan responded with a heartyugh! ¡± What fault do you have? You killed him, so you did. If those people seek revenge, juste here.¡± He dered. In Xuantian Realm, death was all toomonce, and moreover, the deceased had iting. And as for the government of Xuantian Realm, how much power could it really wield? If there was a real investigation, Fire Spirit and the others need onlye to him for refuge, and nobody would be able to find them! They were untouchable! Therefore, he was at ease about the situation. Hearing this, both Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were overjoyed! ¡°With Senior Li giving such assurance, obviously, the beings from above the Immortal Realm are not a concern for him!¡± thought Fire Spirit. ¡°I knew it; with Senior Li present, all evildoers cannot cause trouble!¡± Mu Qianning was filled with admiration. Both offered their thanks to Li Fan. ¡°It¡¯s a trifle; no thanks necessary.¡± Li Fan was very amicable. But in the next instant, terrifying sounds erupted from the high skies above! ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡± It was as if a thousand ps of thunder had suddenly burst forth! Everyone looked up to see the sky above the Southern Territory trembling violently, as if some terrifying existence was hammering the dome of heaven! Chapter 90 - 85 The Barrier Breaks!_1 Chapter 90: Chapter 85 The Barrier Breaks!_1 Trantor: 549690339 | The terrifying sound, as ifing from the distant ninth heaven! The entire Southern Territory¡¯s sky, at this moment, was visibly undting! It was as if a great terror was unfolding! The disturbance was so violent that almost everyone from cultivators to mortals in the Southern Territory, and even the entire Xuantian Realm, sensed it! For a time, the whole world was shocked, and all cultivators were looking towards the sky of the Southern Territory! The wind and clouds churned, and space was shrieking! The sky was like a sheet of paper, and some kind of sharp instrument seemed poised to pierce through it! ¡°The retribution has arrived¡ That young man really is from the Immortal Domain, and now beings of the Immortal Domain are attempting to cross realms¡¡± In Taiyan Holy Land, Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s old wounds had yet to heal, and his expression was ugly! ¡°Throughout the long river of history, beings from the Immortal Domain crossing realms have been few and far between, yet this time they have mobilized such a grand force¡ Do they intend to bring about the end of the world?¡± Yuan Yang felt heavy-hearted, experiencing waves of helplessness! Even as Almost Immortals, even as the two of them represented the most formidablebat power in the Xuantian Realm, any Immortal from the Immortal Domain could simply press down and crush them! The only hope was Senior Li¡ Both of them couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction of the Cangli Mountain Range, their eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and worry¡ ¡°What is going on? Why¡ Why is someone crossing realms?! A powerful existence from above the Immortal Domain ising to the Xuantian Realm¡¡± In the Southern Territory, at the location of Kongming Temple, Saint Teacher Kongming¡¯s old eyes were full of shock! ¡°The arrival of beings from above the Immortal Domain in the Southern Territory¡ I fear a great chaos will ensue. If theye, they will be the masters of the Xuantian Realm, and no one will be able to contend against them!¡± In the Dugu Family, Dugu Chenlu murmured, his eyes intensely grave! Countless ordinary cultivators and sects were all abuzz with various spections! Some say a devil is about to break free! Some say immortals are about to descend! Panic has spread among the people! The Secret ce, Xuanhuang Mist Sea! At this moment, the Xuanhuang Mist Sea was nearly boiling over! In the center of the misty sea, one could see a terrifying tree shadow, its branches turning into chains of order, connecting the heavens; its trunk bing thews, guarding the barriers between realms! The shadow of the tree thrashed wildly! It was struggling valiantly against the invaders from the Immortal Domain! ¡°Heh, Sect of the Heavenly Soul in Saint Cloud City still has some strength. It seems they¡¯ve used a good amount of Primitive Realm Stones. Even the World Tree exerting all of its power is barely holding them back.¡± At the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, the ck Robed Figure Wang Chuan sneered with a look that seemed to enjoy the show. ¡°It was only a matter of time. Once the beings above the Immortal Domain are determined to cross realms, relying on the World Tree of the Lower World alone, there is no stopping them!¡± Yu Chenbing spoke indifferently, saying, ¡°It¡¯s perfect, let the Sect of the Heavenly Soul drain the World Tree for a bit. After this battle is over, we can directly take what¡¯s left of the weakened World Tree!¡± Why had they ughtered so widely in the Xuantian Realm? It was to break the World Tree¡¯s defenses, to drain its energy. ¨C The World Tree of each realm had its roots in the life force of that realm¡¯s beings. When the powerful creatures all die, the World Tree bes weak. Then they would have their opportunity. However, the mysterious existence in the Southern Territory had prevented them frompleting this strategy. Now, as the sect gates of the Immortal Domain sought to cross realms, countless Primitive Realm Stones were tearing the barriers apart whilst simultaneously draining the World Tree¡¯s energy! This inadvertently helped them tremendously! The entire world watched with rapt attention! The Xuantian Realm trembled greatly. The people of the Southern Territory were terrified! Within a small courtyard, Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and many other disciples all had a sudden change in expression! ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why do I feel like¡ something is about to burst through the sky?!¡± Long Zixuan felt a terror that sent shivers down his spine. ¡°Could it be¡ Could it be the legendary crossing of realms? Is someone crossing realms?!¡± Nan Feng was taken aback! Fire Spirit and Zi Ling were likewise stunned, but they quickly realized ¡ª this¡ could it be that people from the Immortal Domain were descending to the Lower World?! ¡°Toe this swiftly¡ With such amotion¡ Heavens, what kind of terrifying presence is arriving this time?¡± Fire Spirit murmured. ¡°We¡¯ve really provoked a powerful figure from the Immortal Domain¡¡± Mu Qianning also seemed somewhat stunned! Meanwhile, Xinning nced at the sky, blinked herrge eyes, and a hint of worry flitted across. She suddenly stepped in front of Li Fan and said, ¡°Big Brother¡ I¡¯m scared, are the bad peopleing to catch me now?¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan just smiled, ruffled Xinning¡¯s hair, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just thunder.¡± As he spoke, he nced over at the many disciples and noticed that they all had a look of fear on their faces. These disciples were really too timid, especially Long Zixuan and the others, grown men scared of thunder, really¡ He then looked towards Nan Feng and said, ¡°Nan Feng, everyone is disturbed by the celestial phenomena, y a piece on your zither to calm everyone¡¯s nerves¡ª¡± Li Fan spoke. A pleasant zither piece would naturally distract everyone and bring about silence. Upon hearing this, Nan Feng was taken aback. Have her y the zither? Was her master suggesting she counter those beings about to cross over from the next world? She was surprised, for thoseing from the Immortal Domain must be far more powerful than the Immortals¡ Could she do it? But seeing Li Fan confident and indifferent, she suddenly realized. Right, with the master present, what could there be to fear? There must be a profound reason behind the master¡¯s instruction! She immediately said, ¡°Yes, Nan Feng will y the zither¡ª ¡± Having said that, she promptly sat down, arranged the Three Absolute Strings, and began to y. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Then, her slender jade fingers touched the strings, gently plucking them! The sound of the zither began, circting with the aura of the Immortal Path! Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were both shocked, finding it incredible. ¡°Has Lady Nanfeng achieved immortality?¡± Fire Spirit could not believe it! ¡°It seems like Sister Nan Feng has only been with Senior Li for less than two months¡ To be an Immortal in such a short time, it¡¯s unimaginable¡ Mu Qianning¡¯s mouth was already agape. Soon, Nan Feng found her rhythm in the zither ying, and the tune reached a charming peak. Long Zixuan and his fellow disciples felt their spirits lifted upon hearing the zither, the panic and fear that they had felt moments ago seemed to be pressed down instantly! ¡°I must confront those beings crossing into our sky¡¡± As Nan Feng yed the zither, her fingers moved continuously, and immediately, waves of Immortal Path sound waves kept emanating from her hands, passing through the courtyard, across the vige, turning into a gentle stream, heading towards the violently fluctuating sky above the Southern Territory! At this moment. The boundary walls above the Southern Territory trembled immensely! They were about to break! The countless chains of order, extending from some unknown ce, and resembling the branches of arge tree, were desperately trying to maintain the boundary walls, but now they were swaying in the storm! However, a slight stream carrying the power of the Immortal Path suddenly infused into those chains of order! Strengthened by this immortal power, the countless chains of order suddenly emitted intense light, starting to close the cracks on the walls of the border! Behind the boundary walls, there was instantly a chorus of roars! ¡°The World Tree of this realm was clearly unable to hold the boundary walls, why has it suddenly gained divine strength?¡± ¡°There must be a power almost as strong as a Profound Immortal aiding that World Tree¡ The tree itself has the ¡®amplification¡¯ principle, just a bit of external force, once through the World Tree, bes immense!¡± ¡°It definitely can¡¯t be from that Demon Cultivator, as an outsider, he can¡¯t gain the recognition of the World Tree¡ The natives of Xuan Tian are obstructing us!¡± Angry voices rang out! After a long time, an almost roaring ancient voice burst out angrily: ¡°Pour in all the Primitive Realm Stones, our sect must descend to the Lower World!¡± ¡°After descending, ughter this realm, cut down the World Tree!¡± ¡°This is the fate they deserve for defying our Sect of the Heavenly Soul!¡± Immediately, on the other side of the boundary walls, a terrifying force of the original realm burst forth! The boundary walls that were barely starting to recover were once again violently shaken! Like a deluge breaking through a dam, the invisible walls were torn apart the next instant! Even the World Tree could not stop it! An ancient and vast immortal aura burst through the gap between the two worlds, flooding into the sky above the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm! The Immortal Domain¡ had breached the boundary! Chapter 91 - 86: The Ten Great Profound Immortals!_1 Chapter 91: Chapter 86: The Ten Great Profound Immortals!_1 Trantor: 549690339 | The barbaric aura of the Immortal Realm suddenly enveloped the skies above the Southern Territory! Frightening murderous intent of the Immortal Path emerged from the cracks in the boundary wall, spreading like a river! At this moment, the entire Southern Territory, the entire Xuantian Realm, shivered! The whole world seemed to be wounded at its very foundation, as countless natural disasters appeared at once! ¡°Boom!¡± An ancient Spirit Mountain crumbled, debris shooting out for hundreds of li, with dust spiraling up like dragons! ¡± Bang bang bang¡ª¡± An ancient Holy Land¡¯s endless underground spiritual veins exploded, the terrifying surges turned hundreds of Sect Gates to ash! ¡°Rumble¡ª¡± On the t sandy ins, it was as ifnd masses were moving, creating endless abyssal cracks; the powerful beasts hidden within the desert wailed as they died¡ ¡°Crack!¡± An ancient winding river began flowing backward, its crashing waves striking the shore, breaching high dykes and destroying countless viges and markets¡ The end of the world! At this moment, the scene of the apocalypse had arrived! ¡°No¡ª¡± A Sect Master from one of the sects saw the copsing mountains, rolling stones, and sky-shaking debris. His eyes were wide with anger, but it was toote to save a single disciple; the entire sect was buried. ¡°Mom¡ªsave me¡¡± A little girl fell into a crevice, her small hand still trying to grasp at something before she disappeared¡ ¡°Run, run!¡± Within a mountain peak, a pair of Taoistpanions sensed theing apocalypse; the male cultivator suddenly pushed the female cultivator out of the peak, but he was instantly engulfed¡ Mortals! Cultivators! In the face of the disaster sweeping the whole Xuantian Realm, they were so fragile, reduced to mere ants! Xuanhuang Mist Sea. Now inplete disarray! Countless amounts of Xuan Huang Qi had evaporated as if a vast sea had dried up, leaving only tiny ponds; ancient and towering tree roots were exposed within the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, their cracks clearly visible! The World Tree, once majestic and full of life, now appeared listless, with countless branches of order broken and old roots damaged! At the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, a group of True Immortalsughed loudly. ¡°Hahaha, the energy of this World Tree has almost beenpletely depleted, and the Xuanhuang Mist Sea has been exhausted!¡± ¡°The Sect of the Heavenly Soul really did us a huge favor! Now, taking this tree is as easy as reaching into a bag¡¡± ¡°Leader, let¡¯s make our move!¡± The crowd spoke eagerly! After spending so long in this Realm, even losing threepanions along the way, they finally saw dawn break through! The Xuanhuang Mist Sea had nearly dried up, the World Tree within easy reach! However, Yu Chenbing just sneered and said, ¡°Hehe, we cannot act now, lest the people from Saint Cloud City of the Immortal Realm who came from the Lower World discover us, ruining the Immortal Monarch¡¯s grand n. That would not be good¡¡± Southern Territory. In the skies above! After the chains of order had lost their hold, the cracks in the boundary wall continued to widen, with the aura of the Wild Immortal Realm pouring in relentlessly¡ Then, the first silhouette finally emerged from the cracks in the boundary wall. Crossing worlds! He was a middle-aged man who appeared in this Sky Domain, standing with his hands behind his back, surveying the world with a detached coldness! His arrogance was extreme! ¡°The Xuantian Realm is harboring the Demon Race and even dares to obstruct our sect from crossing worlds. From this day on, this Realm will disappearpletely!¡± He spoke indifferently, his terrifying murderous intent apanying his voice as it spread across the eight destions! Shaking the entire Xuantian Realm! His formidable presence terrified the heavens, and for a moment, the world was in a state of panic! ¡°What¡ Strong ones from the Immortal Realm want the Xuantian Realm to disappearpletely?¡± ¡°No¡ Does this mean we¡¯re going to die too¡¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be, I don¡¯t want to die, I don¡¯t want to die¡ Who has gone mad, obstructing them? Who¡¯s to me for us incurring the wrath of the Immortals?¡± Numerous cultivators wailed in despair! Confronted with the beings from the Immortal Realm, the cultivators and powers of the Xuantian Realm had absolutely no hope of resistance! ¡°s¡ The Xuantian Realm has truly encountered one disaster after another, this time, I fear it really is the end of the world¡¡± At Kongming Temple, Saint Teacher Kongming sighed deeply, draped the kasaya over his shoulders, and said, ¡°All beings suffer, and today, I fear we are going to meet Brahma in the Western Heaven¡¡± Behind him, countless powerful Brahmin monks wore expressions of either calm or sorrow¡ ¡°I thought to fight with all my might, yet the iing individuals are even above True Immortals¡¡± Within the Dugu Family, Dugu Chenlu clenched the iron sword in his hand but in the end, had to release it! He heaved a long sigh of bitterness, for as a Sword Dao Supreme who never surrendered in his life, he was now filled with helplessness! The realm difference was like a chasm, truly leaving not a glimmer of hope! ¡°¡more terrifying than the two True Immortals that appeared here before¡¡± In the Taiyan Holy Land, Spirit Transcendence Venerable held a Quasi-Immortal Artifact in his hand, his bitterness reaching an extreme as he forced augh, ¡°Above a True Immortal, what realm is that? We haven¡¯t even heard of it¡ Heh, how do we fight, how do we fight?¡± Primordial Yang Venerable¡¯s face was also filled with despair, but he turned his head to look in a certain direction, murmuring, ¡°When the other party crossed realms, someone from the Xuantian Realm took action to stop them. The only one qualified to act would be Senior Li, right? Did the old gentleman make a move?¡± ¡°Even he, the old gentleman, couldn¡¯t stop them and failed?¡± Thest spark of light in his eyes disappeared. The Southern Territory was in despair. A small mountain vige. With the heavens in turmoil, a natural disaster descended upon the world. But, this piece ofnd remained as quiet as a bird¡¯s nest in a storm. At this moment, in the vige. Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei raised his eyes toward the sky vault, his teeth clenched in rage, his features twisted fiercely! He tightened his fist, with Demonic Qi flowing through his body! ¡°¡Sect of the Heavenly Soul!¡± He was already prepared for battle! ¡°Right now, Gong Ya Demon Marshal is far from arriving, with only me to guard by the Demon Monarch¡¯s side¡ I will not let anyone harm the Demon Monarch!¡± He roared quietly, stepping forward, ready to soar into the sky vault to face the battle! But, just at that moment! Above the sky vault of the Southern Territory, another terrifying aura appeared. Through the cracks in the boundary wall, yet another figure stepped out! Another visitor from the Immortal Realm! Equally terrifying in presence! Ming Tianbei¡¯s pupils constricted at this scene! ¨C If only one person hade, he was confident in eliminating him! But two people¡ and both definitely at the Xuanxian Realm, it would be difficult! ¡°What of two people, I must protect the Demon Monarch¡¡± He gritted his teeth and took another step forward, but in the sky, a third figure appeared! The third Profound Immortal! Seeing this, Ming Tianbei was suddenly struck dumb. Three- How do you fight three? As he stood there stunned, a fourth individual appeared, followed by a fifth! The sixth! The seventh! The tenth! In an instant, no less than ten figures appeared in the sky! All were from the Immortal Realm, all bearing terrifying might! All were Profound Immortals! Ten Great Profound Immortals descended! The ten Profound Immortals standing together exuded an aura of Immortal Path that converged like rivers and seas, subjecting every living being in the Xuantian Realm to an overwhelming aura of supremacy! Countless Holy Lands, Sect Gates, and Cultivators, whether Almost Immortals or those in Qi Refinement, whether cultivators or mortals¡ in this moment, all were crushed by this fearsome Immortal aura, forced to kneel on the ground! The Xuantian Realm bowed its head! Chapter 92 - 87 Annihilation!_1 Chapter 92: Chapter 87 Annihtion!_1 Trantor: 549690339 | The Ten Great Profound Immortals, like ten great mountains, pressed down upon everyone! In Kongming Temple, the Old Brahman Teacher knelt on the ground, his Brahmanist Kasaya cracking at this moment¡ In the Dugu Family, Dugu Chenlu¡¯s eyes nearly split with rage as he strained to lift the iron sword in his hand, but the sword broke directly, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood! In Taiyan Holy Land, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Lord Lingchao supported each other, insisting on not kneeling, but in the next moment, their leg bones cracked! Among the mountains, ferocious beastsy prostrate; in the oceans, sea creatures held their breath¡ Southern Territory. Within a small mountain vige. Ming Tianbei watched this scene, now frozen like a wooden chicken. He stood there petrified, his body trembling slightly. ¡°Ten Great Profound Immortals¡¡± He muttered, his face full of bitterness. To fight ten against one? Moreover, his own realm was still at a low point, far from perfect¡ How to fight? ¡°I¡¯m not willing, ah! The Demon Monarch has finally emerged, must we fall into the hands of scum like the Sect of the Heavenly Soul?!¡± His frustration had reached an extreme! Above, in the sky. The Ten Great Profound Immortals looked down indifferently upon the world below. ¡°A world of ants, daring to harbor Demon Cultivators, daring to obstruct us, causing our sect and the Primitive Realm Stone to bepletely depleted¡¡± One of them expressed in anger! ¡°As punishment, for the next thousand years, no creature in this realm shall survive!¡± Another one brimming with murderous intent said bluntly, ¡°This seat shall destroy this realm!¡± With a wave of his hand! Instantly, a terrifying storm of Immortal Path energy gathered and swept down from the high skies toward the entire Xuantian Realm! ¡°Heh, let it be destroyed. This hurricane, while eliminating this world, will also just happen to help us locate the hiding ce of that Demon Cultivator.¡± Another person coldly chuckled. The terrifying storm of Immortal Path first aimed for the entire Southern Territory! Like an enormous from the heavens, it was descending! All beings trembled! Cultivators knelt! They prayed, they wailed, they cried out in agony¡ but it was all in vain! Death! Destruction! The end! It was drawing near! And at this moment! In a small mountain vige, within the courtyard of Wu¡¯er Xianting. Countless disciples had already turned pale! They all felt the terrifying auraing from above the skies. ¡°It¡¯s over¡ With ten entities so terrifying, is there anyone in the Xuantian Realm who can resist them?¡± Fire Spirit muttered, herplexion ghastly. ¡°¡ With Senior Li here, everything must be resolvable, it must be!¡± Mu Qianning clenched her fists tightly, though her palms were sweaty! Even Nan Feng, who was an Immortal, couldn¡¯t stop it, and now that ten such fearsomely powerful beings had appeared¡ who could stand against them? ¡°Big Brother¡ I¡¯m scared.¡± Xinning instinctively held onto Li Fan¡¯s arm. She was indeed nervous! If they were to be exposed, if the beings from the Immortal Realm discovered they were hiding here, they would face endless troubles. By then, if their enemies came knocking, even the nine Demon Marshals¡¯ protection wouldn¡¯t stop those terrifying foes¡ Even Nan Feng had stopped ying her music, her face showing shock. Just now, her Spiritual Power surged into the sky, and she distinctly felt that she and the tree of origin of this world were resisting the Immortal who had crossed into this domain, but they couldn¡¯t hold back at all! The iing Human Immortal was simply too powerful! Li Fan at this moment also couldn¡¯t help being somewhat surprised. He had witnessed many severe weather patterns, thunderstorms, rainstorms¡ but something as strange as today was indeed a first. Bizarre. He nced around and noticed that all the disciples were a bit fearful again, huh! However strange, wasn¡¯t it just the weather? What was there to fear! He said outright, ¡°Nan Feng, y this tune to bolster the courage of your junior brothers and sisters.¡± He took out an ancient music score and handed it to Nan Feng. Nan Feng took the score and nced at it, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with astonishment! ¡°Heaven!¡± She whispered, ¡°What kind of piece is this¡ Every note clearly carries a terrifying murderous intent, containing some indescribable power of ughter¡¡± She instinctively looked towards Li Fan, was her teacher actually suggesting she use this piece¡ to kill Profound Immortals?! Li Fan looked at her and smiled slightly, saying, ¡°This piece is indeed challenging, but the beginning is simpler. You can still give it a try.¡± ¡°Your style has always leaned towards the gentle, but you must know that the sound of the qin can be like a small bridge with flowing water or like the warm spring breeze, yet it can also be like the sh of metal and horses, like the call of fifty strings beyond the frontier¡¡± Upon hearing this, Nan Feng immediately nodded, then closed her eyes. Heart centered! Breath calmed! Feeling the mysteries of the music score! She ced her hands on the qin strings. The sound of the qin arose¡ª At this moment, her aura transformed abruptly! No longer a spring breeze, no longer mild and supple. The qin¡¯s sound was like the shing of metal, like the unsheathing of swords! A feeling of unyielding killing intent instantly flowed through the bodies of the disciples present! At that instant, the strings of their hearts suddenly lost their fear! Each person felt a kind of unstoppable courage, a confidence of unbeatable might! The second note flowed! The third note rang out! The fourth¡ The fifth! A generous battle tune soared from Nan Feng¡¯s hands! ughter! ughter! ughter! At this moment, ughter became the sole undertone of the piece! One note after another seemed to transform into a terrifying long spear, a frosty Divine Sword, an arrow with edges as sharp as frost¡ They pierced through the spatial river, charging straight to the ninth heaven! ¡°Boom ¡± The battle melody notes, soared toward the Sky Domain! Toward the boundless and terrifying storm! ¡°Boom ¡± The battle melody, like a knife, ripped apart the great! The countless Immortal Spiritual Qiing from the Sky Domain exploded mid-air, scattering and vanishing! The almost apocalyptic terrifying storm thus dissipated into nothingness! Above the Sky Domain! Gazing down upon the vast expanse of the Xuantian Realm, the Ten Great Profound Immortals, who seemed like the Masters of the heavens, involuntarily gasped in shock at the sight! Hiss! ¡± What kind of aura is this? What being is this that¡ can actually give me such a feeling of rm?!¡± ¡°¡Such powerful sound waves¡ Even the heart of a Profound Immortal trembles. That Demon Cultivator is not simple!¡± Several spoke with grave voices! The Profound Immortal who had just made a move was now furiously enraged! ¡°Who dares to obstruct me, is courting death!¡± He breathed in Immortal Spirit Qi, took a step forward, and with a stomp, space trembled as terrifying waves of Spiritual Power sought to submerge the melody of the qin! But, the very next instant. The battle melody surged heavenward, unstoppable, cutting through all obstructions! Like knives and swords, like spears and halberds, the sharpness aimed directly at the Profound Immortal! The attacking Profound Immortal¡¯s face suddenly turned white, he staggered back several steps, and a trickle of immortal blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth! His eyes filled with shock! Was he, wounded?! ¡°Hiss!¡± The crowd inhaled sharply again! ¡± When making a move, we cannot underestimate him!¡± ¡°Capture him!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s all attack together!¡± In an instant, out of the Ten Great Profound Immortals, three joined forces to seal off these notes! These three triggered a terrifying Immortal Path handprint, pressing down on the battle melody notes! The unstoppable battle melody suddenly spiraled, unable to break through! Inside the courtyard! Nan Feng¡¯s hands danced, and the battle melody flowed, but at this moment, she furrowed her brows! It was as if a raging river was blocked, making her extremely ufortable! Li Fan, beside her, was nodding his head when he suddenly felt the congestion in Nan Feng¡¯s notes. He gently stretched out his hand and tapped the stone table with his fingertips. Just like thest time, when Nan Feng felt lost upon entering the Quasi- Immortal Realm, it was Li Fan¡¯s gentle taps that helped her find the tune again. Nan Feng, feeling stuck and unable to move forward, suddenly felt a powerful push! It was like a toddler learning to walk but stuck in the mire when suddenly, they¡¯re pulled up by a powerful hand! Like a child lost on a wrong path, suddenly hearing the Hong Zhong Da Lu bell¡¯s call, finding the way! Her hand brushed across the strings of the qin, flowing like water! Suddenly, the notes connected seamlessly, and the battle melody moved from a trough to a surge of ardor! The sword reappeared! The de was new! The ardent battle melody soared like a Phoenix flying high through the nine heavens! In the Sky Domain! Many Profound Immortals, upon sensing the terrible notes suppressed, all breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they were all Profound Immortals, the earlier moment had truly frightened them. Those qin tunes, that battle melody, were too terrifying! ¡°Put in more strength, suppress it thoroughly!¡± One of the three attacking Profound Immortalsmanded coldly! Together, they sought to fully suppress this melody! However, The very next instant! A wave of rebellious battle sounds surged to the sky, resounding through the clouds! The terrifying notes turned into boundless fighting spirit, birthing thousands of terrifying weapons, whistling forth! ¡°No ¡± A Profound Immortal suddenly shouted, eyes widening! And then, the Immortal Spirit hand formed by the three disintegrated with a boom! The battle melody had arrived! ¡°Puff puff puff???? ¡± Immortal blood sprayed, heads rolled! The three Great Profound Immortals were extinguished in an instant! ¡°No!¡± ¡°What¡¯s happening?!¡± ¡°Howis this possible!¡± The remaining Seven Great Profound Immortals were all changed inplexion with fright! ¡°Attack together, quickly, the opponent is too terrifying!¡± ¡°Suppress, suppress together!¡± ¡°Do not hold back!¡± They were in disarray, shouting, and for a moment, the Seven Great Mysterious Immortals joined forces to contend! Above the Sky Domain, it turned into an Immortal Spirit sea, with waves raging wildly and great waves shocking the heavens, as the Seven Great Profound Immortals together could punish anything in the world! Inside the courtyard. Li Fan felt the tempo of Nan Feng¡¯s qin to be slightly slow, so he tapped on the table once more. Suddenly, Nan Feng¡¯s qin notes rose again! Above the nine heavens! The battle melody tore through, like countless Immortal and Demonic armies crossing through time, like billions of terrifying beasts trampling over the Immortal Domain and the Myriad Realms! The terrifying Immortal Sea formed by the Seven Great Profound Immortals copsed in an instant, and the formidable Immortal Dao barrier was destroyed as easily as decaying wood! The qin notes passed! ¡°Bang bang bang bang!¡± Immortal bodies exploded! The Seven Great Profound Immortals, under the qin¡¯s tune, burst apart, turning into seven stunning blood flowers! Blood mist scattered, raining down from the sky! In that instant, the Xuantian Realm was showered with blood. Silence fell over the world! Chapter 93 - 88 Emperor’s Breakthrough Melodyi Chapter 93: Chapter 88 Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melodyi Trantor: 549690339 The Ten Great Profound Immortals, have now all perished! The world fell silent, and themon folk were left in utter stillness! In the heavens above, nothing remained but the scattering of blood rain. A single melody of battle yed on the qin, yet it soared like a song, slicing through the rifts in the realm¡¯s barrier, striking toward another world! From beyond that barrier, suddenly came continuous screams as if mighty Immortals were bleeding to death. Streams of blood gushed, flowing from the Immortal Domain through the cracks in the realm barrier! It was unknown how many had died beyond the rift, when an old and panicked voice urgently rang out: ¡°Withdraw the Primitive Realm Stone, quickly, let this realm barrier close, let it close!¡± Terror! Just moments ago, the crack in the realm barrier was their channel for transferring the Profound Immortals, but now, it had be a bridge for a terrifying killing intent to cross! On that side, chaos ensued! Suddenly, the space rift that had lost the support of the Primitive Realm Stone began to heal at an unimaginable speed, rapidly closing up! Until it waspletely restored and then vanished from sight. Above the Sky Domain, the sky instantaneously regained its rity and vastness! As if nothing had ever happened. The great battle hade to an end. In the Xuantian Realm, the entire world, the blood rain still fell¡ª It was a blood mist infused with the endless breath of Immortal Paths, the essence and life¡¯s work of the Ten Great Profound Immortals. Now scattered in all directions, spreading far and wide. They had arrived with awe-inspiring might that dominated the Xuantian Realm, a force that swallowed the eight wildernesses, yet in the blink of an eye, they transformed into nourishment for this world, their terrifying Immortal essence falling with the blood rain. The entirend of the Xuantian Realm was like drought-stricken earth blessed with rain. The cracked ground, after being drenched by the blood rain, surprisingly began to gradually heal! Even the mountains that were still copsing absorbed the essence of the Immortal Paths and suddenly calmed down. Atop the ruins of a Sect Gate, fresh green trees suddenly sprouted and grew into towering giants at an unimaginable pace! Even the deste deserts, now saw vigorous Spiritual Springs gushing forth from the ground, irrigating the barren earth, causing oases to appear amidst the sands¡ If before, it was a natural disaster, a sight of the apocalypse¡¯s arrival. Then at this moment, it was an auspicious birth, a new age filled with vitality! This moment, throughout the entire Xuantian Realm, all those prostrated beings were in a daze. That mighty and invincible pressure, which had weighed upon their souls, had disappeared without a trace! And around them, the earth was rejuvenating, all things were growing! ¡°What is this¡ blood rain? Is this the blood rain of those Immortals?!¡± A young Cultivator murmured, looking up as the blood rain fell on his cracked lips, suddenly, his aura surged, his cultivation level skyrocketing! ¡°After destructiones rebirth; fortune lies upon cmity, and cmity upon fortune¡ This is the opportunity of the Xuantian Realm!¡± An aged and withered elder crawled out from the rapidly copsing mountain and bathed in fresh blood; his withered body suddenly began regrowing at a swift pace¡ A crow, perched on the treetop, was drenched by the blood rain, and its body grew faint golden feathers, appearing incredibly sacred¡ A giant snake in a marsh actively curled up its body to face the sky; as the blood ram fell, two horns surprisingly appeared atop its head, transforming it into a Jiaolong¡ lhe entire Xuantian Realm was experiencing the blessing of this Immortal Path blood rain! At once, the people upon the earth, who had just been in absolute terror, burst into uproarious cheers! ¡°Heavens, this is wonderful, this is a great opportunity for our Xuantian Realm!¡± ¡°This great cmity has hidden behind it a great fortune; the fearsome personage from the Southern Territory has in the Ten Great Profound Immortals, and their lifetime of cultivation is now nutrifying the Xuantian Realm!¡± ¡°This is a feast that benefits all under heaven¡ The entire Xuantian Realm is entering a golden age!¡± lhe multitude of Cultivators was bursting with excitement! At the same time, countless people bowed in the direction of the Southern Territory! Whether Mortals or Cultivators! They all witnessed everything that happened in the heavens above, saw the mighty being from the Southern Territory strike, effortlessly annihting the Ten Profound Immortals that heralded the end of the world! This great fortune was a gift from the mighty Southern Territory! The ram of Immortal blood sprinkled across the realm, with no doubt the heaviest and most abundant part of it showering down upon the Southern Territory! The Southern Territory was now experiencing an outpouring torrent! ¡°Heavens, this rain¡ every drop is an opportunity, every single one a treasure, and now it is raining down everywhere?!¡± In the Taiyan Holy Land, Saint Lord Lingchao was at the height of excitement, bathing in the blood of Immortals, his injuries all healed! ¡°This rain will enhance the constitutions of everyone in the Xuantian Realm¡ Countless geniuses will emerge, and even the very status of the Xuantian Realm might be elevated!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord was ecstatic as well, his woundspletely cured and, at the same time, his aura was continuously growing, advancing toward bing an Immortal! ¡°Senior Li is too terrifying, to kill the Ten Great Profound Immortals, who had just crossed into our realm¡¡± As Saint Lord Lingchao enjoyed the rain¡¯s nourishment, he spoke with immense admiration! I believe¡ it may not have been Senior Li who personally took action¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord, however, suggested, ¡°That battle melody was yed on a qin; it is very likely the work of Senior Li¡¯s distinguished disciple, Lady Nanfeng¡¡± Upon hearing this, Saint Lord Lingchao was even more astounded. Could it be that a disciple of Senior Li was already capable of ughtering the Ten Great Profound Immortals? This¡ he wanted to say, this was simply against the natural order! Senior Li was terrifying beyond any naturalw! Elsewhere, All disciples of Taiyan Holy Land stood out, bathing in the downpour of this rain! Kongming Hall. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand in the rain, my disciples! Quick, quickly bring out the statues of the Brahmanic Foremost Saints, we can take this opportunity to venerate many Immortal-level sacred statues¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming danced with excitement, this great fortune was too rare. ¡°Holy Master, this rain is so wonderful, I believe even Qing Chen¡¯s injuries will surely get better!¡± An old Brahman Cultivator looked at Saint Teacher Kongming, filled with hope. However, Saint Teacher Kongming shook his head repeatedly and said, ¡°This rain is a great opportunity for us¡ but for Qing Chen right now, it means nothing!¡± ¡°Following that senior¡ he is destined to be a great power on the Brahman Path!¡± His words were filled with emotion! Hearing this, the old Brahman Cultivator who had just spoken was stunned¡ ¡°Not only bathing in the blood of Immortals, but within this Immortal blood, there is also the Immortal Path, insight into the Sword!¡± In the Dugu Family, Dugu Chenlu¡¯s body was already dyed red by the blood rain, yet he was extremely excited, leading all disciples of the Dugu Family to bathe in the rain, seizing the opportunity for enlightenment¡ ¡°Yu Qing, the hope of more than 900 generations of the Dugu Family rests on your shoulders, don¡¯t disappoint your father¡¯s expectations, follow that senior closely and learn well¡¡± At the same time, Dugu Chenlu looked towards the direction of the Cangli Mountain Range, his eyes filled with myriad emotions! This was a grand gift bestowed upon all themon folk! lhe entire Xuantian Realm would be full of vitality because of the blood rain from the Ten Great Profound Immortals! At this moment. Small mountain vige. Blood rain flew and scattered everywhere, but above the small mountain vige, the sky remained clear, without a single drop of rain. ¡°Dead, they¡¯re all dead¡ So good, so good!¡± Ming Tianbei trembled, he turned around, suddenly kneeling towards the small courtyard where Li Fan was! What kind of existence was that person, truly worthy of being called ¡°Senior¡± by the Demon Monarch, too terrifying, too terrifying¡ After kneeling and bowing, he hurriedly ran out of the small mountain vige, spread his arms wide, and devoured the blood rain of the Profound Immortals! ¡°Heaven, this blood rain is a great tonic for Profound Immortals, yet not a single drop can fall into the small mountain vige¡ This means that for the small mountain vige, these things are all trash¡¡± While swallowing the essence of the Profound Immortals, he looked towards the small mountain vige with aplex expression, suddenly envying the vigers there¡ Inside the small courtyard. The performance had ended. Lady Nanfeng breathed out a sigh of foul air, and at this moment, her entire demeanor suddenly acquired a heroic air. Before, she was gentle as water. But now, like a Profound Maiden from the Nine Heavens, there was a faintly invincible quality within her tranquility! All the surrounding disciples were at this moment stunned. Frozen like statues. They had witnessed the Ten Great Profound Immortals perishing in the heavens, yet they could hardly believe that it was the work of their fellow senior¡ Zi Ling¡¯s beautiful eyes werepletely wide open, looking at Nan Feng in disbelief, she said, ¡°Senior Sister¡ did you breakthrough to the Xuanxian Realm?¡± Hearing this, everyone else was even more stunned, numb with shock and overwhelmed¡ Before this, Nan Feng was still just an Immortal¡ From the Immortal Realm to the Xuanxian Realm, it¡¯s also the Nine Heavens! Now, with a single performance, Nan Feng had crossed this chasm and became an Immortal¡ Too terrifying, right? Too terrifying, right?? Everyone began to doubt their own lives! Even Xinning was blinking her big eyes, her little face somewhat nk. One song could y a Profound Immortal¡ And what was more terrifying, this ¡°Big Brother¡± from beginning to end, had only tapped on the stone table. He did nothing, yet in a blink, he nurtured a Profound Immortal, an invincible Profound Immortal¡ She suddenly felt that she¡ should really cling tightly to these coattails! Nan Feng also rose to her feet, giving Li Fan a deep bow and said, ¡°Thank you, Master, for your guidance.¡± ¡°Disciple has progressed further!¡± Li Fan looked up, nced at the bright sky, smiled, and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me, this melody, you still need to practice repeatedly.¡± Nan Feng¡¯s sensibilities were not bad, but what she had just yed was only the merest essence of this melody, just a little of the first section¡ It was very muchcking. Nan Feng nodded earnestly, fully aware of how terrible, invincible, and profound this melody was! She couldn¡¯t help but be filled with longing, saying, ¡°Teacher¡ does this melody have a name?¡± Li Fan replied leisurely: ¡°Of course it does.¡± ¡°lhe name of the piece, Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody.¡± Chapter 94 - 89 Escape from the World Tree_1 Chapter 94: Chapter 89 Escape from the World Tree_1 Trantor: 549690339 Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody! Upon hearing this name, everyone was caught in a trance! ¡°Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody, indeed domineering¡ Worthy of a tune that can y a Profound Immortal!¡± Long Zixuan muttered to himself, his blood boiling just from the rising notes, wishing he could soar into the sky and fight! ¡°Such a powerful tune¡ It¡¯s as if there are thousands of troops and horses under the song¡¡± Zi Ling also eximed in surprise. And Xinning, with wide eyes, revealed an unparalleled look of astonishment¡ ¡°Emperor¡ he said Emperor¡¡± She waspletely shocked. Being of her level of power, she understood very well what those two words signified. ¡°This senior truly is a supreme giant in the Immortal Domain¡¡± She became more and more certain! At the same time, she suddenly felt extreme envy toward Nan Feng¡ To actually be able to learn such a heaven-defying treasured art¡ If such a unique and ancient technique were to spread, both the worlds of immortals and demons would probably go mad¡ Her emotions were churning, but then a hint of doubt shed through her mind. Why would such a significant figure hide here? And furthermore, why take in so many disciples? ¡°He¡¯s ying a grand game, a game that spans eons and might influence all the worlds under the heavens¡¡± It was as if she suddenly understood something. At this moment. On the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea! A group of True Immortals had already be petrified. Completely petrified! As still as statues! They looked toward the sky above the Southern Territory, which was gradually clearing up, as if nothing had happened, as if it were all just a nightmare¡ But they were unable to take their eyes off it! ¡°Dead¡ they¡¯re all dead¡ all dead¡¡± One True Immortal murmured. ¡°The Ten Great Profound Immortals¡ who could have annihted a Lower World¡ yet died so abruptly¡¡± Another True Immortal spoke with a trembling voice. ¡°From start to finish, we don¡¯t even know what kind of being took action¡ Was it really the so-called Demon Cultivator? Why do 1 feel it was a more powerful entity?¡± Wang Chuan spoke distractedly. And their leader, Yu Chenbing, felt a bone-chilling cold enveloping his whole body! His body was stiff, and his heart trembled with it. Shivering! Fear was written all over his eyes,plete fear! With just a casual move, he could kill the Ten Great Profound Immortals¡ What kind of person was hiding in the Xuantian Realm? A Heavenly Immortal? A Golden Immortal? Or¡ Regardless, he understood, with just their group, there was no point in even thinking about it! They were definitely not a match for the opponent¡ Perhaps, the opponent had long since noticed them, especially after intruding into the Southern Territory so many times and killing so many people¡ It¡¯s just that they didn¡¯t merit attention, and to the other party, True Immortals might be nothing more than ants, right? At this moment. In the heart of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea. As blood rained down, streams of Xuan Huang Qi sprouted from the earth and converged here. The Xuan Huang Qi, which had nearly been exhausted, was now slowly bing abundant once more. ¡°Leader, the Xuanhuang Mist Sea is going to recover¡¡± A True Immortal spoke urgently, pointing in the direction of the mist sea. All of them snapped back to awareness! They saw that the World Tree, which had seemed so wilted and near death, was now¡ reinvigorating with new life! ¡°No¡ With the rate of this recovery, and with the essence of ten Profound Immortal-level powerhouses to replenish it, the tree will recover quickly and may even grow stronger¡ Then it¡¯ll be difficult to seize itter!¡± Wang Chuan said with worry in his voice. Yu Chenbing looked at the World Tree in the middle of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, then clenched his teeth and dered, ¡°We can¡¯t care about that now. We have to take this tree now, cause this realm to copse!¡± Their mission was to seize the World Tree! Once the World Tree was uprooted, the Xuantian Realm would lose its independence, its barriers would disappear, and it would integrate with the other Lower Worlds! ¡ªThis, too, was one of the strategies of the powers behind them, ¡°Convergence of Myriad Realms¡±! After the Convergence of Myriad Realms, a vast world would form. Although it might not rival the immortal Realm, it was critical to their ns. At this moment, watching the Xuanhuang Mist Sea continuously recover, Yu Chenbing could no longer hold back. He took a decisive step forward andmanded, ¡°Seize this tree!¡± Suddenly, the rest of the True Immortals also stood behind him. Yu Chenbing stretched out his hand, formed a seal, and Immortal Power surged! The several people behind him likewise operated at full strength. Yu Chenbing took out a ck jar, and under the infusion of everyone¡¯s Immortal Spirit Force, the jar rapidly expanded, turning into a part of the Sky Domain, looming over the World Tree! In the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, the World Tree seemed to sense it and countless forces of Xuan Huang transformed into chains of Dao and order, attempting to counter! The Xuan Huang Dao Ze was very terrifying, but at this moment, the World Tree was too weak, and the Xuanhuang Mist Sea hardly had any strength to utilize! The chains of order, too, couldn¡¯t stop the jar from falling! The World Tree was almost about to be captured inside the jar. But, in the next instant, the World Tree suddenly sank sharply! It disappeared from the Xuanhuang Mist Sea! ¡°Not good, it¡¯s trying to escape!¡± Wang Chuan eximed in shock. ¡°Heh, escape? Where could it possibly flee to?¡± Someone sneered. As the World Tree was sentient, they had encountered it trying to flee when it was overpowered in the past. But, that didn¡¯t change anything. The World Tree was born in this realm, and therefore couldn¡¯t escape from this realm; moreover, after leaving the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, its power would deplete without replenishment, and it would only perish faster! In the center of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea, the shadow of the tree quickly disappearedpletely! ¡°Pursue!¡± The powerful True Immortals shouted angrily, unleashing theirbined strength, steering the terrifying ck jar, chasing after the World Tree! However, what followed shocked them all! ¡°This tree¡is it fleeing towards the Southern Territory?¡± Wang Chuan was stunned. For a moment, all the True Immortals¡¯plexions changed! The Southern Territory could now be considered forbidden ground! The Ten Great Profound Immortals were dead, who dared to break through there? ¡°While the World Tree has yet to enter the Southern Territory, chase with all our might! Chase with all our might!¡± Yu Chenbing shouted desperately, clenched his teeth, and in an instant his blood essence ignited! He was burning his essence blood, driving the ck jar, almost fighting for his life! Once the World Tree reached the Southern Territory, they would have no means left at their disposal! Seeing this, the others immediately took action as well, each igniting their essence blood, their cultivation level greatly increased, and the ck jar, like a meteor, nearly caught up to the World Tree that was fleeing at full speed! The World Tree was almost about to be overtaken, and the terrifying suction force of the ck jar had already touched its body, causing its speed to slow! At this moment, the World Tree was also engaged in an intense struggle, its entire body¡¯s branches shining, with order runes shing continuously, trying to resist! But, faced with the terrifying might of nearly ten True Immortals burning their essence blood to drive this fearsome jar, the World Tree could hardly resist! Now already close to the skies above the Southern Territory, many cultivators saw the scene unfolding in the sky, causing countless shocks. ¡°What is that¡ My god, I feel the power of the source, is that our Xuantian Realm¡¯s World Tree? ¡°What, wasn¡¯t the legendary World Tree rooted in the Xuanhuang Mist Sea? How has it appeared here, with someone pursuing it?!¡± ¡°What is that object? A jar that is actually about to capture the World Tree inside?¡± ¡°Not good, if the World Tree is lost, the Xuantian Realm will gradually wither and turn to barren soil!¡± In an instant, countless cultivators in the Xuantian Realm were eximing nonstop! The shadow of the World Tree had alreadye to aplete halt, unable to move a step closer to the Southern Territory! The ck jar,rge as the heavens, was about to envelop itpletely! At this moment. In a small mountain vige in the Southern Territory. Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. A branch of the peach tree suddenly lifted gently. A faint green qi dissipated into the unseen, and in a sh it was outside the Southern Territory! In the sky, the World Tree was being devoured by the ck jar, leaving only some roots outside! But at this moment! A streak of green qi suddenly flew towards the ck jar! ¡°Boom ¡ª¡± In an instant, the huge ck jar exploded directly! Disintegrating into dust! The terrifying ripple spread far and wide! And the World Tree, which had been bound by the ck jar, seemed to be reborn, instantly turning into a beam of light, plunging into the Southern Territory, not looking back! In the sky, from a hidden spot! ¡°Ahh ¡± A session of screams echoed, as a group of True Immortals exploded one after another! ¡°No!¡± Yu Chenbing trembled, and before his death, he crushed a Jade Talisman! Then his body also exploded, but a remnant soul instantly fled away¡ Chapter 95 - 90 Purest Bloodline_1 Chapter 95: Chapter 90 Purest Bloodline_1 Trantor: 549690339 | A small mountain vige, in the courtyard of Wu¡¯er Xianting. Li Fan felt quite content. After the strange weather had finally ended, the sky became exceedingly clear. It was now approaching evening. ¡°1 haven¡¯t painted the sunset in many days¡ Zi Ling, Nan Feng,e, follow me to take in the sights and sketch from life,¡± he said. Upon hearing this, both Zi Ling and Nan Feng were extremely delighted. It had also been a long time since they had gone out. Moreover, going out with Li Fan surely meant that great opportunities awaited! Seeing this, the other disciples were simply envious. But since Li Fan didn¡¯t take them, all they could do was envy. Zi Ling carried the painting board and other materials, while Nan Feng had her zither on her back. The three then stepped out the door. Leaving the small mountain vige, they saw the Cangli Mountain Range, which had been copsed and deste. But now it appeared to be brimming with the freshness of spring. Grass was sprouting everywhere, and towering trees were growing anew. In the woods, rabbits and other animals full of vitality scampered by. Li Fan was also taken by surprise; he had not expected such great changes in the world outside after just a few days without leaving the house! ¡°The seas change into mulberry fields in a moment, the cycle of life and death, is just so¡¡± Li Fan couldn¡¯t help but reflect as he walked. Upon hearing this, Nan Feng and Zi Ling both pondered deeply. ¡°The seas change into mulberry fields in a moment, for teacher, perhaps the wax and wane of the world truly lies within a single thought¡¡± Nan Feng murmured. ¡°The cycle of life and death, the deaths of those powerful Profound Immortals, are now fostering the life of everything around us¡ There¡¯s an old saying, ¡®When a whale falls, myriad life thrives.¡¯ Teacher is showing us just such a principle¡¡± Zi Ling¡¯s eyes widened. Li Fan led them, step by step, up a high peak. By the time they reached the summit, the sunset was just right, and the sky was like stained in blood. ¡°Zi Ling, starting from today, you may learn to paint the sunset,¡± Li Fan said. Zi Ling was instantly overjoyed! Could she really paint the sunset now? She had seen with her own eyes how Li Fan had captured such a contradictory existence as the sunset within his paintings! Was she finally going to engage with such a terrifying aspect of the Art of Painting? Li Fan spread out a piece of paper, gazed at the setting sun in the distance, and started to paint with quick strokes! For a moment, time flowed by, and the sun sank in the west. A sense of vast wilderness sprang to life on the paper! Zi Ling watched intently from the side, her face showing deep fascination. She was understanding, feeling¡ Meanwhile, next to them, Nan Feng gently yed her zither, her demeanor suddenly shifting. The transcendental aura, which had once decimated ten immortals with a single tune, reemerged. Back in the courtyard of Wu¡¯er Xianting. Xinning looked around quietly, herrge eyes stealthily shifting. The disciples of Li Fan were all busy with their own tasks, almost no one paid attention to her. She snuck into the kitchen, found the corn that Li Fan used to feed the chickens, grabbed a handful, and then ran back out. Summing up her courage, she headed towards the ¡°Earth Chicken¡± flock. As she approached, an Earth Chickenzily lifted its eyes and nced at her. Xinning instantly felt the terrifying presence, as if she was being stared at by an ancient behemoth. She was drenched in sweat, but she stepped forward, squatted down, and offered the grains of corn in her hand. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡ I didn¡¯t mean to intrude, respected seniors¡ 1 bear no ill will, and I dare not have any¡¡± she stammered. She wanted to go out to find Ming Tianbei as Li Fan was not around. She had some matters to exin. But with Li Fan away, she didn¡¯t dare to run off recklessly. She understood all too well that she needed the permission of the seniors here¡ so she was essentially ¡°asking for leave.¡± The chicken didn¡¯t look at her any further, simply pecking at a few grains of corn on its own. Xinning felt as if she had been granted amnesty and said, ¡°I¡¯ll definitelye back on time, I will return on time¡¡± After saying that, she walked towards the outside. ¡°Xinning, where are you going?¡± Qing Chen, who was sweeping the floor, saw Xinning and asked in confusion. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a bit and will be back soon¡¡± Xinning replied. ¡°Don¡¯t y for too long, don¡¯t stray too far, understand?¡± Qing Chen instructed. Xinning left. After she left, a white cat also sneakily slipped out. Once Xinning had left the courtyard, she immediately activated her powers and began to summon Ming Tianbei. Soon, Ming Tianbei appeared before her, bowing respectfully, and said, ¡°Greetings, Demon Monarch!¡± Xinning said directly, ¡°Besides the people from the Immortal Domain, there is another group in the Xuantian Realm who are plotting against the World Tree, and I suspect there is definitely a conspiracy!¡± ¡°You must leave here immediately and investigate the realms adjacent to the Xuantian Realm to see what has happened in the other Lower Worlds. Report back once you have found something.¡± Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei became anxious and said, ¡°But Demon Monarch, without me by your side, who will protect you?¡± Xinning replied, ¡°How could you protect me anyway? Don¡¯t worry, go ahead. I am now clinging to a powerful figure. Unless it¡¯s one of the few strongest people in the Immortal Domain whoes, I am quite safe.¡± Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei¡¯s heart was filled withplicated emotions! He almost thought he was hallucinating. This was the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, whose notorious reputation once shook the heavens¡ And now, she actually imed to be clinging onto someone else¡¯s coattails¡ How terrifying must that existence be? But remembering the horrific scene of her defeating ten immortals with a single melody, he shuddered and immediately responded, ¡°Your subordinate understands, I will go now!¡± At this moment. Elsewhere. A white streak of light, moving at an inconceivable speed, appeared outside a small mountain vige. It was Bai Xiaoqing. She quickly headed in a certain direction. Shortly after, she arrived among a grove of trees. As soon as she appeared there, a majestic voice had already sounded: ¡°You really did make it difficult for your father to find you!¡± Right after, a middle-aged man emerged from the void. He wore a pale golden robe, his eyes wild with a powerful aura. This was an Almost Immortal! At this moment, he frowned upon seeing Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s form and said, ¡°I see you¡¯ve really gone wild, even transforming into something like a cat?¡± In the woods, the snowy white kitten, upon hearing this, suddenly transformed. The next instant, a young girl in a long snow-white dress appeared among the trees. She had skin as clear as ice and jade, her figure was stunning, her long, straight legs lightly obscured, with a waist that could be encircled with a single hand, her long ck hair cascading down her shoulders. Especially her bosom, it was impressively bold! Truly peerless! ¡°Dad, long time no see, huh!¡± Bai Xiaoqing said with a smile, ¡°How did you find your way here?¡± This middle-aged man was none other than the Sovereign of the White Tiger n in the Xuantian Realm, Bai Xiaofeng! ¡°If 1 hadn¡¯te looking, I¡¯m afraid you would have forgotten what kind of n you belong to. Look at what you¡¯ve be now!¡± With a grave tone, Bai Xiaofeng spoke up, ¡°Come back with me right away. In another month, the ¡®True Monarch¡¯s Blessing Conference¡¯ will take ce. If you can gain favor with the Main Ancestral Hall and be blessed with some immortal nectar, your bloodline can be further purified!¡± ¡ªThe White Tiger n was extremely powerful, and their Main Ancestral Hall held a high status above the Immortal Domain, recognized as a significant power. The True Monarch¡¯s Blessing Conference was organized by the Main Ancestral Hall to look after the various branches in the Lower Worlds. At that time, outstanding descendants from the Lower Worlds would receive immortal nectar, true blood, etc., and might even be chosen to enter the Immortal Domain, securing a supreme future! It was because this conference was so important that Bai Xiaofeng personally came to find Bai Xiaoqing. This was not an opportunity to miss! However, Bai Xiaoqing shook her head and said, ¡°1 won¡¯t go back!¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve found an owner here, and I¡¯m his pet cat. I think it¡¯s quite nice. Just pick any other descendant for the True Monarch¡¯s Blessing Conference.¡± As she spoke, she even seemed somewhat proud. Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng¡¯s face changed drastically, and then, rage surged forth! An owner? Being a pet cat? That she thought it was quite good? He was so angry he could spit blood, so furious he could go mad! His own daughter, the child of an illustrious n sovereign, was doing such an ¡°embarrassing¡± thing. If this were to spread, how could he even go on living! ¡°You¡ you rebellious girl! Today, your father must capture you and take you back!¡± Enraged, he stretched out his hand, and a cage of Almost Immortal-level Spiritual Power instantly formed, about to imprison Bai Xiaoqing! But Bai Xiaoqing just smiled and waved her hand lightly. All the restraints suddenly dissipated under her control! Seeing this, the White Tiger n Sovereign Bai Xiaofeng instantly gasped in shock. Disbelievingly, he looked at his daughter and eximed, ¡°You¡ You¡¯ve be an Almost Immortal!?¡± He was astounded. How could this be possible? His daughter had only left him for a few months! Back then, Bai Xiaoqing hadn¡¯t even reached the Hollow Void Realm! And now, she had be an Almost Immortal? This was a rate of growth that was utterly unimaginable! While he was still stunned, Bai Xiaoqing arrogantly tilted the corner of her mouth and unleashed the power of her bloodline! In an instant, a golden sea materialized behind her, filled with endless mysteries, as if it could evolve into something absolutely terrifying! The White Tiger n Sovereign Bai Xiaofeng was even morepletely dumbfounded at this moment. His mouth agape, he muttered, ¡°The Purest Bloodline, with manifestations emerging¡ How is this possible?¡± Chapter 96 - 91 Planting a World Tree i Chapter 96: Chapter 91 nting a World Tree i Trantor: 549690339 I The Tiger Emperor of the White Tiger n, Bai Xiaofeng, was utterly shocked beyond measure. In just a few months, Bai Xiaoqing had leaped from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Quasi-Immortal Realm! Even more terrifying was that her bloodline had evolved into the Purest Bloodline. It must be known that the Purest Bloodline had never appeared in the branches of the White Tiger n in the Lower World! Even in the Immortal Domain¡¯s Main Sect, it is said one would only possibly see it in a hidden, unparalleled genius. But, now his own daughter had achieved it¡ He took a deep breath, filled with shock, and said, ¡°Xiaoqing, how¡ how did you do it?¡± Bai Xiaoqing heard this, smiled, and said, ¡°1 told you, didn¡¯t I? 1 just found a master and became his pet cat!¡± Hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng¡¯s expression grew even moreplex. A master? Bing a pet cat? What kind of master could this be? Suddenly, something urred to him, and his face grew grim as he said, ¡°Your master, couldn¡¯t possibly be that terrifying expert from the Southern Territory who killed ten immortals with a single tune, could he?¡± His expression was extremely grave! Being in the Xuantian Realm, he naturally knew about the series of events that had taken ce in the Southern Territory. The existence of the terrifying expert in the Southern Territory was nowmon knowledge. The annihtion of the Ten Great Profound Immortals was the epitome of terror! But Bai Xiaoqing proudly said, ¡°No, not that.¡± ¡°The one who killed the Ten Great Profound Immortals with a single tune was only his disciple,¡± she dered. Hearing this, Bai Xiaofeng waspletely stunned. A person capable of killing Ten Great Profound Immortals with a single tune was actually just the disciple of that existence? Terrifying, too terrifying. He had previously predicted that the hidden expert from the Southern Territory might be at the Celestial Immortal Realm! Because the hierarchy in the Xuantian Realm was of Profound Immortals, even though some powerful cultivators had secret methods to suppress their own power, they could not surpass the Celestial Immortal Realm. But now it seemed¡ he had vastly underestimated the situation! ¡°To think that such a terrifying figure exists in the small Xuantian Realm¡¡± He muttered to himself, and the look in his eyes towards his daughter also became moreplex. Even if his own daughter received blessings and rewards at the True Monarch¡¯s Blessing Ceremony, could she achieve the Purest Bloodline? Impossible! Staying here, she had greater opportunities. ¡°How about it? Father, do you still want me to return with you?¡± Bai Xiaoqing asked proudly. Bai Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, then said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to return for now.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t forget, you and the Prince of the Tiger n from the Earth Yuan Realm have been betrothed by the elder of the Main Ancestral Hall. After this year¡¯s True Monarch¡¯s Blessing Ceremony, you should return to the n and marry him!¡± Upon hearing this, an unwilling expression appeared on Bai Xiaoqing¡¯s face as she said, ¡°No, Father, 1 don¡¯t want to marry someone I¡¯ve never met¡¡± Bai Xiaofeng furrowed his brows, as if he felt this was a very troublesome matter, but he still said, ¡°Concentrate on your cultivation for now¡ I will do my best with this matter.¡± But he had no confidence in his heart. This marriage was arranged by the Immortal Domain¡¯s Main Sect, and moreover, the other party was a branch from the ¡°Earth¡± Realm, far stronger than the branch of the ¡°Xuan¡± Realm¡ It was difficult to say. ¡°I knew Father was the best,¡± Bai Xiaoqing said delightedly. ¡°Father, I will go back first then. My master should be returning from his sketching soon.¡± She turned around to leave. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Bai Xiaofeng called out to her; he hesitated for a bit but still gathered the courage to ask, ¡°Your master¡ does he need any other pet cats?¡± ¡°I think there are many outstanding juniors in our n that would be quite suitable to be pet cats¡¡± After saying this, he felt as if he could die of embarrassment. A mighty Tiger Emperor! And he had spoken such shamelessly thick-skinned words. His persona had crumbled today! But it had to crumble, for that was the Purest Bloodline, difficult to find even in the Immortal Domain. If his own line could produce a few more¡ Bai Xiaoqing heard this but shook her head and said, ¡°That senior is unfathomable, and his requirements for selecting cats are very high¡ 1 don¡¯t think there¡¯s anyone suitable in our n.¡± Hmph, 1 certainly don¡¯t want other catspeting for the master¡¯s affection! Isn¡¯t it better to have the master¡¯s embrace all to oneself? Meow, meow! After saying this, she turned into a streak of light and vanished. Bai Xiaofeng stood there dumbfounded, feeling a sense of loss as the wind blew by. At this moment. The sun had already sunk below the horizon. Atop a mountain peak. Under Li Fan¡¯s guidance, Zi Ling had finallypleted her first piece of artwork! A painting of the setting sun! The mountains undted, broad and expansive, with a red sun sinking westward, as though it contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Having finished the painting, Zi Ling was astonished to find that she¡ had almost reached the Xuanxian Realm? She was shocked. ¡°Imitating the Great Way has allowed me to advance quickly¡¡± She murmured to herself. ¡°Hmm, not bad, but you are still far from grasping the true essence of the setting sun,¡± Li Fanmented after a brief review and then said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, it¡¯s time to go home.¡± The two of them packed up their things and followed behind Li Fan. It didn¡¯t take long for the trio to arrive back at the small courtyard. ¡°Hmm? Why is there a sapling here?¡± Li Fan walked over, only to see a small sapling lying at the doorway. The sapling had not a single leaf left on it, several roots were cracked, and it looked almost like it was about to turn into a withered branch. Upon seeing this, Nan Feng¡¯s pretty face shook with disbelief, ¡°This is¡ the World Tree from the Xuantian Realm?!¡± She was shocked. Before the Ten Great Profound Immortals descended to the Lower World, she had infused Immortal Spirit Qi into the World Tree¡¯s chain of order. Therefore, she could feel it! Zi Ling was also dumbfounded. How did the World Tree end up here? ¡°Previously, the World Tree was being chased by an unknown entity¡ It has fled for refuge, seeking the protection of our master!¡± Nan Feng thought for a moment and immediately came up with the answer. Li Fan also pondered, Who put it here? Could someone from the vige have brought a fruit tree sapling for him? He wasn¡¯t sure, but still said, ¡°To encounter is to be predestined, let¡¯s take it back and try nting it.¡± With that, he picked up the World Tree and brought it inside the courtyard. Once in the courtyard, Li Fan said, ¡°Lu Rang,e here, your teacher will teach you how to nt a tree.¡± Lu Rang, who was working in the vegetable field, immediately carried his hoe over. His body had grown stronger from the daily manual work, and his aura was terrifying, having reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm! Surprised to see the small sapling, he asked, ¡°Master, what kind of sapling is this?¡± The other disciples also gathered around. ¡°This sapling seems extraordinary¡¡± ¡°It feels special. Could it be a type of Spiritual Medicine?¡± ¡°It must be. Anything our master brings back can¡¯t be mediocre!¡± Everyone weighed in with theirments. Xinning also walked over, her eyes wide with surprise. The World Tree¡ has ite here? ¡°This World Tree has be sentient; it knows that this is the safest ce¡ But, without Xuan Huang Qi, even if this senior can protect it, it¡¯ll gradually wither away¡¡± She couldn¡¯t help muttering to herself. While everyone was puzzled, Li Fan had already taken the hoe and started to dig a hole next to the peach tree! ¡°Watch carefully, nting a tree is not the same as nting vegetables; you must dig deep enough.¡± He swung his hoe and dug into the earth! Instantly, everyone stared in a daze. They clearly saw Li Fan¡¯s hoe carrying the immense force of heavenly ethos, and as it hit the ground, it was as though each stroke could dig out a separate world! The next moment, the pale gray granr soil was turned over, and a hole emerged! ¡°After digging the hole, you first need to water it to moisten the pit!¡± Li Fan sprinkled adle of wellwater, and mist emanated. The crowd watched intently, for that was Divine Spring water! ¡°Then ce the sapling upright and cover it with soil.¡± Li Fan positioned the small sapling properly, held the sapling with one hand, and used the hoe with the other to push the soil back! Quickly, the soil secured the small sapling in ce. Li Fan poured anotherdle of water halfway through, thenpacted andpletely covered the soil. ¡°With this, the tree is nted. The most important thing for a tree¡¯s growth is to establish its roots. Whether the roots are deep enough determines the height the tree will reach in the future!¡± ¡°If the roots are unstable, no matter how tall it grows, a single strong wind will cause it to break!¡± ¡°You must understand that if the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake and mountains will sway!¡± Li Fan provided instruction on nting trees. The few disciples were immersed in the wisdom of Li Fan¡¯s words. ¡°The roots are most important. Master is telling us we must establish a solid foundation!¡± Long Zixuan muttered to himself. ¡°I have grown too fast; perhaps it¡¯s time to solidify my foundation¡ Master is reminding me.¡± Nan Feng¡¯s face showed a dawning realization. They all gained significant insights. ¡°If the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake and mountains will sway¡¡± In Xinning¡¯s wide eyes, a thoughtful expression appeared. ¡°In my previous life, didn¡¯t I fail to reach the Immortal King Realm because, at thest moment, my cultivation level cracked? The senior is enlightening me on the cause of my failure!¡± ¡°I understand now. This life, 1 must follow this senior and achieve perfection!¡± She made up her mind. ¡°Wow, this tree has just been nted, and it feels like it¡¯s already brimming with life!¡± Lu Rang eximed in surprise. Everybody focused their gaze, and indeed, the branches that had seemed dry and lifeless were now exuding a fullness of life, as if they were growing! Seeing this, Xinning was even more astonished. ¡°My goodness¡ The World Tree is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Other than the Xuanhuang Mist Sea with which it symbiotically exists, no soil can nourish it, unless, unless¡¡± She murmured, ¡°Unless it¡¯s the legendary ¡®Immortal King Soil¡¯ that can make an Immortal King immortal¡ This¡¡± She waspletely stunned. At that moment. In a realm not far from the Xuantian Realm. This realm was vast and boundless, with endless mountains and rivers, mighty rivers coursing through it, where Immortal Spirit Qi mingled with Spiritual Energy. Although diluted, it nourished countless immortal beings of this world! Between heaven and earth, asionally, immortal creatures would appear, and even Profound Immortals were sighted in brief, breathtaking moments! In the center of this world, atop a vast mountain range stood an ancient pce. Above the mountain gate, five characters imbued with the power of the Immortal Path were emzoned: ¡°Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder!¡± At that moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared from nowhere and drifted toward the mountain gate. The guarding Immortal reprimanded: ¡°Which remnant soul dares to disturb this ce? Scram immediately!¡± As the remnant soul approached, barely revealing its original appearance, the guardian Immortal was shocked and said, ¡°What? Yu Chenbing? How did you end up like this?¡± ¡°What happened in the Xuantian Realm?!¡± Chapter 97 - 92: The First Heavenly Realm?_i Chapter 97: Chapter 92: The First Heavenly Realm?_i Trantor: 549690339 I Yu Chenbing¡¯s remnant soul returned to the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder. Soon, the Immortal guarding the gate ryed the news back to the Sub-rudder, instantly causing shock among its members. In the ancient hall of the Sub-rudder, many elders and the Helmsman quickly gathered! A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat at the head, his face adorned with a blue beard, exuding an unfathomable aura. On both sides sat no fewer than twenty powerful elders! ¡°What happened? Just earlier, all the Soul Lamps of the force led by Yu Chenbing were extinguished!¡± ¡°Only a fragment of Yu Chenbing¡¯s soul has returned¡¡± ¡°Could they have encountered some unbeatable person?¡± There was a tumult of discussion among the crowd. ¡°Bring Yu Chenbing in.¡± The middle-aged man at the head spoke indifferently. A remnant soul then drifted in. The middle-aged manmanded, ¡°Speak.¡± Yu Chenbing¡¯s voice was weak, and filled with terror as he said, ¡°Reporting to the Helmsman, I led my men to the Xuantian Realm, where we encountered an existence that surpasses a Profound Immortal.¡± ¡°In order to deal with him, I investigated his identity¡¡± He then recounted the investigation results from Saint Cloud City and the set-up murder, revealing how the Ten Great Profound Immortals were killed by a single tune. ¡°What? The Ten Great Profound Immortals from the Immortal Domain crossed into another realm and were all killed by a single tune? How is this possible!¡± ¡°The realms Yu Chenbing and the others are responsible for are all ¡®Mysterious Character¡¯ Realms of the Lower World, where the highest existences are Profound Immortals. How could such a person appear?¡± ¡°¡Could there have been a Heavenly Immortal hiding there? But even a Heavenly Immortal level powerhouse couldn¡¯t easily kill the Ten Great Profound Immortals¡¡± Inside the great hall, all the elders were extremely shocked. It must be understood, even if it¡¯s just the most peripheral power in the Immortal Domain, it should still hold absolute superiority over a ¡°Mysterious Character¡± Realm! But the Ten Great Profound Immortals descending to a Lower World had been annihted? It was unimaginable. Yu Chenbing continued, ¡°We originally nned to seize that moment to snatch away the World Tree, turning the Xuantian Realm into barrennd, but an inexplicable aura shattered the Tunxian Vessel, and we were all blown apart, our bodies destroyed. Except for me, who survived with the help of a Life-Saving Talisman bestowed by the Helmsman, all the others are thoroughly dead¡¡± Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock! ¡°The Tunxian Vessel, capable of holding the World Tree and even surpassing Profound Immortal level, was shattered by an unknown aura?¡± ¡°This is too inconceivable. What on earth is hidden in that insignificant Xuantian Realm?¡± ¡°Even a Heavenly Immortal level existence shouldn¡¯t be able to destroy the Tunxian Vessel. Doesn¡¯t this mean that there is a very good chance¡ that a Golden Immortal might be hiding there?¡± The crowd was astounded and filled with doubts! This news startled them! And the middle-aged man at the head furrowed his eyebrows at this moment! A Golden Immortal? No, he himself was a Golden Immortal, but he was well aware that the Tunxian Vessel was a replica of a dreadful Holy Artifact from his own sect, and even he could not destroy it! ¡°Xuantian Realm¡¡± Muttering to himself, a glint suddenly shed in his eyes as he said, ¡°Could this Xuantian Realm be rted to that one of legend?¡± At his words, everyone looked up. ¡°Helmsman, are you referring to the legend of the ¡®Four Great Heavenly Realms¡¯?¡± An elder asked, clearly astonished. The Helmsman nodded, ¡°ording to the ancient tales, in the endless years past, among countless Lower Worlds, there were Four Great Heavenly Realms, extremely powerful, almost capable of contending with the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡°In the First Heavenly Realm, it¡¯s said that even an Immortal King was born there!¡± ¡°Butter, the Immortal Domain struck against the Four Great Heavenly Realms¡ The Three Great Heavenly Realms submitted to the Immortal Domain, bing its vassals, but the ¡®First Heavenly Realm,¡¯ because it refused to surrender, was directly shattered by the Immortal Domain into countless smaller realms¡¡± ¡°It is imed that in that battle, even the Immortal King was killed, and his body shattered along with the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± On hearing this, an elder voiced his confusion, ¡°But what does this have to do with the Xuantian Realm?¡± The Helmsman replied, ¡°Beyond that, there¡¯s another secret.¡± ¡°After the First Heavenly Realm was shattered, it created tens of thousands of smaller realms. These realms, ording to their size and status, also varied in strength. However, it¡¯s said that in order tomemorate the glory of the First Heavenly Realm, the names of these smaller realms all contain the characters ¡®Heavenly Realm¡¯.¡± ¡°To put it simply, ¡®Xuan¡¯ represents the status of the current realm, while ¡®Heavenly Realm¡¯ stems from its historical roots!¡± The Helmsman concluded inly. In an instant, the expressions of everyone in the hall turned serious! In the million Lower Realms, there are also distinctions of level. Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow! There are countless ¡®Yellow Character¡¯ Realms, ounting for the most in number. ¡®Mysterious Character¡¯ Realmse next, though they are also numerous. The ¡®Earth Character¡¯ Realms are the most powerful among the Lower Worlds, and it¡¯s within these realms that a Heavenly Immortal can be born! And the Heavenly Realm¡ from ancient times to the present, there are only four! Among them, the most glorious First Heavenly Realm was even destroyed by the Immortal Domain. ¡°So to speak, this Xuantian Realm, is very likely a part of the First Heavenly Realm?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it makes sense. The First Heavenly Realm is not to be perceived by ordinary means, and where once an Immortal King was born¡¡± ¡°Who would have thought, we would actually encounter it?¡± Many elders spoke up one after another, all appearing very solemn. Any involvement with the First Heavenly Realm is sure to be no simple matter. However, the Helmsman said, ¡°Of course, we cannot be certain yet, after all, I too am only making an inference based on the name of this Lower World¡ we still need confirmation!¡± His gaze swept across the crowd and fell on an elder, saying, ¡°Elder Sangduo, you possess the space pathways, no one can detain you. I shall trouble you to make a trip and scout it out, how about it?¡± Sangduo rose to his feet and immediately nodded in response, ¡°At the Helmsman¡¯smand!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll set off this instant!¡± Meanwhile. In the Northern Immortal Domain. In a remote area. Within Saint Cloud City, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul. All the elders from the sect had gathered in the main hall. The elder seated with hair ten meters long, who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall, had an incredibly weak presence at this moment. He had been badly injured! ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s terrifying¡ What¡¯s hidden in that Lower World is probably way more than just a simple Ming Tianbei!¡± The elder Li Luo spoke gravely. Behind him, the numerous elders were anxious and uneasy! This time, the Ten Great Profound Immortals who were dispatched were all sect elders! And none survived ¨C all were wiped out. Moreover, the terrifying sound of the zither even crossed through the world barriers and caused a horrifying blood catastrophe within the Sect of the Heavenly Soul! In the end, it was only stopped by Sect Master Mo Qi who personally intervened during his closed-door cultivation. But the elderly Sect Master was also severely wounded because of it! Sect Master Mo Qi of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul now opened his weary eyes and said, ¡°That tune, capable of ughtering Profound Immortals, and even Heavenly Immortals could barely suppress it, we may well be thankful that the one ying the zither is in the Lower World, which restricted his strength, otherwise¡ our Sect of the Heavenly Soul, and perhaps even Saint Cloud City, would face great disaster!¡± Hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions grew even moreplex. What kind of being was hidden within the Xuantian Realm? ¡°Sect Master, what should we do now¡ With the sect severely weakened, the other powers within Saint Cloud City will probably be aware of this soon¡¡± ¡°And then, our situation in Saint Cloud City will be arduous!¡± The Immortal Domain is equally brutal! Thew of the jungle prevails. The Sect of the Heavenly Soul is one of the five major powers in Saint Cloud City, and if they decline, the other four major powers will surely swoop in to devour the Sect of the Heavenly Soulpletely! Mo Qi was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke, ¡°Spread the message that there¡¯s news of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch¡¯s ¡®Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune¡¯ within the Xuantian Realm!¡± Upon hearing this, all the elders were taken aback! ¡°Sect Master, are you implying that the person from the Lower World is actually a descendent of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch?¡± ¡°Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch, one of the most outstanding powerhouses of the Northern Immortal Domain, attained the path of a Celestial Monarch through music, but disappeared while attempting to be an Immortal King¡¡± Li Luo murmured, ¡°If there really is news of his ¡®Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune¡¯, the entire Northern Immortal Domain will go mad¡¡± Sect Master Mo Qi fell silent for a moment before sighing, ¡°Having thought it over, apart from the rumored ¡®Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune1, I can¡¯t think of any other zither tune that can have such power¡¡± ¡°The Lower World must truly be hiding a descendent of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch¡¡± His aged eyes reflectedplexity, a great opportunity was at hand, but it could also signify an impending cmity! But now, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul had already lost the qualifications to be involved! Li Luo¡¯s eyes flickered with thought and suddenly spoke, ¡°I understand the Sect Master¡¯s intent now, once the news spreads, the other four major forces of Saint Cloud City will inevitably find it impossible to hold back and will descend to the Lower World in search of it!¡± ¡°And if they enter the Lower World, a bloody conflict will surely ensue¡ Our Sect of the Heavenly Soul can just profit from the fisherman¡¯s fight and take the opportunity to recuperate and recover!¡± ¡°The four major sects will most likely suffer as a result of this and no longer pose a threat to us!¡± With that revtion, all the elders present had their eyes opened in realization! ¡°Let¡¯s take action immediately!¡± Not long after, a piece of news spread throughout Saint Cloud City. ¡°The Sect of the Heavenly Soul has unearthed news of Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch¡¯s inheritance, spanning across the Lower World topete for it, only to be heavily damaged by a tune of the zither!¡± As soon as this message was released, it immediately sent shock waves throughout all the major forces of Saint Cloud City! Chapter 98 - 93: The Terrifying Forbidden Land_1 Chapter 98: Chapter 93: The Terrifying Forbidden Land_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Xuantian Realm. In recent times, prosperity flourished throughout thends. The blood of the Ten Great Profound Immortals nourished thisnd. In the air, spiritual energy surged violently, almost giving birth to Immortal Spirit Qi. All major powers¡¯ Sect Gates saw their strength skyrocket. Especially in the Southern Territory. ¡°We have be immortals!¡± In Taiyan Holy Land, both Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were extremely excited! Baptized by the blood rain of the Ten Great Profound Immortals, they had finally taken a step further. ¡°We have finally glimpsed the Immortal Path, and perhaps in the near future, we might be immortals¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming muttered to himself, emerging from meditation, his entire demeanor more extraordinary than ever. At this moment. In a small vige in the Southern Territory. Life had been quite pleasant during this period. Li Fan taught Xinning to read every day, or he taught his disciples to do chores. The rapid growth of Nan Feng and Zi Ling greatly inspired Lu Rang and the others. ¡°One¡ one is the Sword, it is everything, it is heaven, it is earth, it is all things!¡± Dugu Yuqing was in a profound state of enlightenment,prehending the Way. In his mind, there was only Li Fan¡¯s ¡°Heaven Opening Sword¡± from the other day! That unstoppable momentum, that invincible presence¡ That peerless elegance, a Sword that opens the heavens¡ Suddenly, he closed his eyes. At this moment, his heart was free from distractions! The tip of his brush touched the paper. As the brush moved, it was like the Sword Qi was bursting forth, extremely sharp! At this moment, his aura changed dramatically! He became an immortal! When his brush stopped, he was overjoyed! He¡ hadprehended the Sword of the Immortal Path! ¡°Haha, hahaha¡ª¡± He was ecstatic! He almost wanted to shout, ¡°I have be an immortal!¡± But, just at that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from the vegetable patch nearby! He turned to look, only to see that Lu Rang had somehow condensed a hoe of the Dao itself in his hands! Lu Rang¡¯s body had also be incredibly strong. That was¡ the aura of the Immortal Path! Lu Rang had made a breakthrough too¡ Lu Rang was also overjoyed, immediately walking towards Long Zixuan and said, ¡°Haha, Zi Xuan, I¡¯ve be an immortal¡ What about you?¡± He reached out to pat Long Zixuan¡¯s shoulder! But the next moment, a Dragon Soul appeared on Long Zixuan¡¯s body, the overbearing dragon Qi turned into a shield, and actually repelled the newly ascended Lu Rang, sending him flying backwards! This scene astonished everyone. ¡°Little Dragon Brother sits and watches the fish, approaching the Profound Immortal realm!¡± Nan Feng nodded; Long Zixuan had great understanding and gained a unique opportunity from that pond. The flying Lu Rang eximed as he was about to crash into the ground when suddenly, a gentle force from behind supported him, allowing him to steady himself, only to see that it was Qing Chen who was sweeping the floor. Qing Chen held him up with one hand, now smiling slightly. Lu Rang clearly noticed that Qing Chen¡¯s seemingly calm demeanor¡ was actually able to easily withstand the bacsh of Long Zixuan¡¯s dragon Qi? ¡°You¡ you¡¯re also close to bing a Profound Immortal?¡± He was dumbfounded. Damn it all¡ What was this situation¡ He had just be an immortal, and now, some had already be Profound Immortals or were about to cross that threshold¡ It was a huge blow. Dugu Yuqing, seeing this scene, also felt life was too miserable. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t cry, the two of us are academic dregs¡¡± Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were close to bursting into tears holding their heads. ¡°Meow meow¡¡± Just then, a white cat with unimaginably swift speed ran past them and jumped into Li Fan¡¯s arms. ¡°Even this cat¡ has be an immortal¡ and is stronger than us?¡± Lu Rang¡¯s face looked even worse! Humans are not as good as cats¡ Elsewhere, Li Fan was oblivious, and after Xiao Bai ran into his arms, he smiled and stroked it, then continued to point to the poem on the paper and read: ¡°In spring one sleeps, unaware of dawn,¡± Xinning, focused and earnest: ¡°In spring one sleeps, unaware of dawn¡¡± The courtyard was filled with the sound of reading. On the side, the small sapling that Li Fan had nted a few days ago was now thriving robustly. What was previously half a meter tall had almost reached one meter and began to develop swollen spores¡ At that moment. At the core of the Xuantian Realm. The scalding underground magmay like a quiet, dormant dark river! Countless amounts of blood continuously drained into the earth, pouring into it. That was the blood of the Profound Immortals that Xuantian Realm had received! The blood had been pouring into this scalding magma for an entire month. Now, today. Suddenly, as if something within the magma leapt. ¡°Thump!¡± It was like the beat of a heart! With that heartbeat, the magma suddenly surged, spreading out like waves! At this moment. In the midst of a chaotic void stream. This was the Chaotic Stream Sea between the countless fissures of the Lower Worlds. If the boundless space were an ocean, then each Lower World would be an ind within this ocean. They could be separated by tens of thousands of miles from each other. In the chaotic void stream, dangers were unpredictable, with all sorts of horrors urring. Yet, there also existed some pathways, linking different worlds together. For the Immortal Domain to enter the Lower World was extremely difficult, requiring a great cost. But in contrast, between Lower Worlds, one only needed to cross the Chaotic Stream Sea to pass through the realm barriers more easily. And this streak of flowing light was indeed stepping across a thousand miles in one stride as if manipting space. Soon, he stopped outside a world shrouded in a haze of white mist. ¡°This is the coordinate for the Xuantian Realm.¡± Sangduo nced at the world in front of him, knowing that within the white misty the realm barrier. Crossing it, he would appear in this particr world! He took one step forward. The next instant, a vastnd appeared before his eyes! The sky was clear, with no cloud across ten thousand miles, and thend teemed with vitality. ¡°Eh? I just came over like this?¡± Sangduo was taken aback! Logically, the Xuantian Realm was merely a ¡°Mysterious Character Realm,¡± with Profound Immortals as the upper limit! He, being of Heavenly Immortal level cultivation, should have found it very difficult to pass through the realm barrier; he had even prepared to suppress his cultivation level. But he had not expected it to be this easy¡ ¡°It seems the intelligence was wrong. The spatial rank of Xuantian Realm is not just at the Profound Immortal level; it¡¯s at least at the Heavenly Immortal level!¡± Only then could it be exined. With that thought, his heart sank slightly. His divine consciousness swept out and quickly found a small sect gate on this vastnd; he arrived in the blink of an eye. Before long, he had figured out the situation of the Xuantian Realm. ¡°The one who killed the Ten Great Profound Immortals is in the Southern Territory!¡± He stepped forward. The next moment, he was already in the Southern Territory! ¡°The spiritual energy of thisnd is so abundant that it¡¯s about to produce Immortal Spirit Qi? Is it going to grow from a Mysterious Character Realm to an Earth Character Realm?¡± He was astonished. A world could grow or decline slowly over time. Now he understood why he could pass through the realm barrier so easily. This realm was now capable of amodating Heavenly Immortals¡ but the rate of its growth was too fast, wasn¡¯t it? Acting on the information he had gathered, he made his way straight to the Cangli Mountain Range. In no time at all, he reached the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range. ¡°Hmm? This mountain range¡ why do I feel it¡¯s extraordinary? As if it¡¯s hiding something¡¡± Hovering in the sky, Sangduo gazed at thend below with trepidation and doubt. Could it really be hiding something from the First Heavenly Realm? His eyes swept across thend, and the next moment, they suddenly narrowed! He saw a small mountain vige on the outskirts of the mountain range. ¡°Heavenly, what is that ce?¡± ¡°Just one nce, and my heart leaps with fear, as if it were a forbidden area?!¡± He was shocked! Such a feeling only urred in the Immortal Domain when facing certain forbidden areas! But this was a Lower World! How could this be possible¡ No, I must take a look! This might very well involve some earth-shattering secret! While afraid, he moved towards the vige, finally approaching the outskirts of the small mountain vige. The unease in his heart grew stronger; it felt like he was nearing an area of tremendous danger. Walking on the ground, he even felt as though he was shouldering a mountain. The closer he got to that small mountain vige, the more intense this sensation became! ¡°This must be a forbidden area, it must be¡ Only a forbidden area would possess such prohibitive force, felt more keenly by those with higher cultivation!¡± He was shaken, wiping sweat from his brow, now at the entrance to the vige! He could faintly sense the terrifying, overwhelming aura within the vige! Should he go any further? He dared not! ¡°This is truly a forbiddennd¡ Could it be the practice ground or burial site of an Immortal Monarch?!¡± He trembled! Forbiddennds, as the legends say, are connected with ominous Immortal Monarchs! Each one was extremely terrifying. To think that such a ce was hidden within this Lower World¡ And they just happened to encounter it? ¡°Who are you? What are you loitering here for?¡± At that moment, Elder Zhao suddenly appeared at the entrance to the vige, leaning on a walking stick, furrowing his brow at Sangduo. Startled by the question, Sangduo focused his gaze. An ordinary-looking old man, leaning on a walking stick. But¡ The terrifying aura came from that walking stick! Done for, a being from within the forbiddennd?! In an instant, Sangduo was terrified, his heart and gall quaking. He turned and fled without hesitation! ¡ªIt must be known that forbiddennds are mostly silent and dormant, but if a being emerges from within a forbiddennd, it signifies a terrifying blood cmity and disaster! How could he not be afraid??? Chapter 99 - 94 Hundred Worlds Fusion_1 Chapter 99: Chapter 94 Hundred Worlds Fusion_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Sangduo rapidly took flight. Escaping from the small mountain vige was not enough¡ªhe took a step, and the Space Laws operated to their extreme, taking him all the way to the Northern Border! Upon reaching the Northern Border, he did not hesitate to fly directly through the boundary wall! Passing through a misty expanse, he finally left the Xuantian Realm! Emerging in the Chaotic Stream Sea, Sangduo then took a deep breath and looked back toward the Xuantian Realm, with unhidden terror still in his aged eyes! ¡°I¡ I actually survived and escaped from the clutches of beings from the forbiddennds?¡± He could hardly believe it himself! ¡°Never mind that, I must report back to the Sub-rudder at once, this ce is a forbiddennd, and dare not to be trifled with!¡± With that, he turned and fled! At that moment, At the vige entrance of the small mountain vige. Elder Zhao was somewhat puzzled. Who was that man? What was he running for? ¡°It seems he truly was no good person; most likely a petty thief who got spotted by me, how clever I am!¡± Feeling quite pleased with himself, Elder Zhao took a seat in the Taishi Chair, poured a cup of strong tea, and leisurely began to savor it. About a dayter, Sangduo finally arrived in the Earth Spirit Realm! Only at this moment did the panic associated with the forbiddennd finally subside. Shortly after, he returned to the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder. Upon hearing of his return, all the elders of the Sub-rudder urgently convened! In the great hall, Seeing Sangduo return, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s great that Elder Sangduo has returned safely.¡± ¡°It seems that the entity over there isn¡¯t too outrageous.¡± ¡°Brother Sangduo masters the Space Laws; as long as he wishes to leave, no one can keep him!¡± People spoke up one after another! And Sect Leader Yang Yuantian of the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder also showed a faint smile, saying, ¡°Elder Sangduo, how did it go? Have you thoroughly investigated?¡± But Sangduo¡¯s face grew dark as he clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Where is Yu Chenbing?¡± From behind an elder, Yu Chenbing stepped forward, saying, ¡°Elder Sangduo, the disciple is here!¡± In just a few days, the Sub-rudder had used powerful means to restore his body! ¡ªThis is the manner of Immortals; once one bes an Immortal, unless one¡¯s form and spirit are utterly destroyed, even a trace of breath can bring one back to life! However, no sooner had he spoken than Sangduo pped him! ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Yu Chenbing screamed miserably and instantly exploded! He was reduced to nothing but a remnant soul again! ¡°Sangduo, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Elder Sangduo, why did you strike?¡± Everyone was extremely surprised! ¡°What happened?¡± even Yang Yuantian frowned. Sangduo angrily said, ¡°This useless fool nearly got me killed in the Xuantian Realm!¡± At these words, everyone¡¯s expression was greatly shaken. Nearly killed in the Xuantian Realm?! ¡°Within the Xuantian Realm, there lies a Forbidden Area!¡± Sangduo immediately spoke out! In an instant, the entire Sub-rudder erupted intomotion! A Forbidden Area?! ¡°No, that¡¯s impossible! How could there be a Forbidden Area in the Lower World?¡± ¡°Forbidden Areas only exist within the Immortal Domain¡¡± ¡°Elder Sangduo, could you have been mistaken?¡± They were all astonished to the extreme! They were from the Immortal Domain and knew well what those four words signified. If there truly was a Forbidden Area, then not just them, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be helpless and dare not interfere! ¡°What exactly is going on?!¡± Yang Yuantian also asked, his brow furrowed. Sect Leader Yang Yuantian¡¯s expression was extremely grave! If there really is a forbidden realm, then it would be a huge development! ¡°What I say is absolutely true!¡± Sangduo said, ¡°You guests must understand, the status of the Xuantian Realm has escted to the level of a Heavenly Immortal in just a few days!¡± ¡°Moreover, I personally went to the Southern Territory and saw with my own eyes that so-called small mountain vige. It¡¯s not a vige at all¡ It is a forbidden realm!¡± ¡°Within the forbidden realm, a terrifyingly boundless elder walked out, and he discovered me!¡± As he spoke of this matter, Sangduo was still terrified! It was truly a narrow escape, a great fortune indeed¡ Upon hearing this, the faces of the people around were even more shocked! An elder who walked out of a forbidden realm¡ This was terrifying! Even within the Immortal Domain, if someone from a forbidden existence were to emerge, it could overturn an entire domain! Immediately after, Sangduo narrated everything he had seen in detail. With his words, the great hall fell into deathly silence! ¡°Sect Leader, if that¡¯s true, then that ce is very likely to be hiding a forbidden realm!¡± ¡°Yes, I strongly suspect that it may be rted to the legendary First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°Perhaps, that forbidden realm is actually the transformation of an Immortal Monarch Level being from the original First Heavenly Realm¡¡± Many elders chimed in with their thoughts! Thinking of the legends of the First Heavenly Realm, they became even more convinced that there was something extraordinary about that ce. But Sect Leader Yang Yuantian was deep in thought. Suddenly, he looked up and said, ¡°Elder Sangduo, that existence which walked out of the forbidden realm discovered you?¡± ¡°But he let you return alive?¡± Sangduo nodded. ¡°Then, I believe there may be some illusion at work regarding this forbidden realm,¡± Sect Leader Yang Yuantian said, word byword. ¡°Throughout history, no one who has intruded upon a forbidden realm has survived, except for those defying the heavens themselves!¡± ¡°And yet, he discovered you!¡± ¡°How could you possibly have returned alive under these circumstances?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was also puzzled. Indeed. The legends of forbidden realms are too terrifying. Why would Sangduo be able to return after approaching it and being discovered? This was against all reason! Even Sangduo himself felt a surge of doubt at this moment. Could he have been mistaken? ¡°It¡¯s getting more and more interesting. In my opinion, that ce is most likely not a forbidden realm, but it hides a Forbidden Artifact!¡± Sect Leader Yang Yuantian smiled and said, ¡°That so-called small mountain vige is probably using a Forbidden Artifact to create an illusion for you. However, they cannot use the Forbidden Artifact at will, which is why you were able toe back.¡± With such analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. ¡°That makes sense!¡± ¡°So, instead of being fearsome, that ce may very well be harboring a massive opportunity?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible!¡± The crowd spoke one after another, their eyes even showing a bit of eagerness! A Forbidden Artifact could also signify that it¡¯s most likely an Immortal Monarch Level object. Should one obtain it¡ it¡¯s unimaginable! ¡°I¡ I feel it¡¯s impossible, that ce is indeed very terrifying¡¡± Sangduo¡¯s expression turned ugly. Sect Leader Yang Yuantian said, ¡°Of course, any ce capable of concealing a forbidden realm is never going to be simple.¡± ¡°The Xuantian Realm is our target, and we must also obtain that Forbidden Artifact!¡± ¡°Hear mymand!¡± He stood up, speaking indifferently, ¡°Our Sub-rudder currently controls ny-nine Lower Worlds. Immediately arrange the Convergence Formation, and initiate the fusion of the ny-nine Lower Worlds!¡± ¡°This is because when the ny-nine worlds revolve around the Xuantian Realm, the storm and force produced by their convergence will be unbearable even for a Daluo Golden Immortal!¡± ¡°At that time, the Xuantian Realm will be reduced to dust, and that so-called forbidden realm will bepletely destroyed, leaving only the Forbidden Artifact behind!¡± He sneered, ¡°We just need to wait and collect the treasure.¡± ¡°This strategy, I call it: ¡®Convergence of the Hundred Worlds¡¯!¡± Convergence of the Hundred Worlds! Chapter 100 - 95 Gong Ya Demon Marshal l Chapter 100: Chapter 95 Gong Ya Demon Marshal l Trantor: 549690339 | Immortal Domain! In the Northern Immortal Domain, Saint Cloud City. The news spread throughout the upper echelons of the major powers in Saint Cloud City! Green Moon Sect. ¡°Sect Master, we have verified that it is indeed true. Sect of the Heavenly Soul suffered heavy losses from a single piece of music, countless Profound Immortals perished!¡± Inside the grand hall, an elder stepped forward, speaking excitedly, ¡°The Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune, there¡¯s no mistake about it!¡± All the surrounding elders were visibly excited. ¡°Sect Master, we mustn¡¯t miss this opportunity!¡± ¡°We must descend to the Lower World. As long as we can get our hands on the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune, our Sect¡¯s strength will soar tremendously, and we may even be an Immortal-Level Power!¡± ¡°Exactly¡ This is too important for us!¡± They spoke with fervor. Within the Immortal Domain, Immortal Monarchs are also referred to as Immortals! Powers established by Immortal Monarch level experts are also called Immortal-Level Powers. The Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune, as the name implies, was left by one such Immortal Monarch, the Saintly Sound Celestial Monarch, and contains his unbeatable great Dao. Its value is beyond measure! The Sect Master of the Green Moon Sect was a beautiful woman. Her face was veiled, and her forehead bore the mark of a crescent moon, making her appear quite sacred. ¡°However, our strength is on par with Sect of the Heavenly Soul, they have failed, can we seed?¡± Doubt was written on her face. Great Brilliance Sect! The Sect Master of the Great Brilliance Sect, Purple Robe Taoist, was ecstatic. Heughed heartily, saying, ¡°Who could have imagined that today we would receive news of the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune- Wonderful, wonderful!¡± ¡°All Profound Immortals and above in our Sect, gather immediately!¡± ¡°Even if it takes the full strength of our Sect, we must seize it!¡± Sword Listening Pavilion! An elder in a grey robe was ying the erhu at this moment. His eyes were open, but his pupils were only white, giving him a particrly startling appearance. In his erhu music, a solid sword intent emerged continuously. Next to him, a group of elders in simr grey robes was waiting for him. Eventually, he finished ying his erhu. ¡°Master of the Pavilion, we must obtain the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune. It is of great significance to us.¡± Someone spoke. The erhu-ying elder slowly lifted his gaze, saying, ¡°If we can hear the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune, even death would hold no fear!¡± ¡°Prepare to descend to the Lower World!¡± Saint Cloud Sect. The Sect Master of the Saint Cloud Sect, Ao Wushuang, was also the lord of Saint Cloud City! He walked into the grand hall, majestic in his golden robe, striding like a tiger or dragon. Within the hall, rows of Immortal Generals in golden armor were already waiting. ¡°Sect Master, we are ready to descend to the Lower World at any time!¡± They roared with fervor. Ao Wushuang looked at them with satisfaction, but waved his hand and said, ¡°The time is not yet ripe.¡± ¡°Summon someone, immediately send out my order, dering that I invite the Sect Master of the Green Moon Sect, the Master of the Sword Listening Pavilion, and the Purple Robe Taoist to convene!¡± Soon after, someone outside acknowledged themand and left. Before long, the three great powerhouses had already arrived outside of Saint Cloud Sect! The Sect Master of the Green Moon Sect and the others were taken aback at the sight of the golden-armored Immortal Generals assembled within Saint Cloud Sect. ¡°You all have received the news, and I won¡¯t beat around the bush.¡± Ao Wushuang gave a faint smile and said, ¡°The Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune, everybody wants it, but surely our four powers cannot all go to war individually, can we?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not forget the fate that befell the Sect of the Heavenly Soul.¡± Upon hearing this, the three Sect Masters were taken aback. The Master of the Sword Listening Pavilion blinked his white eyes and asked, ¡°What does Sect Master Ao suggest?¡± Ao Wushuang replied, ¡°Form an alliance!¡± ¡°Only by joining hands can we ensure the acquisition of the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune!¡± ¡°Then, our four Sects will share it!¡± He was very straightforward! Upon hearing this, the several Sect Masters began to ponder. ¡°My Green Moon Sect agrees.¡± At this time, the Sect Master of the Qingyue Sect was the first to speak. She had been worried that the Qingyue Sect and the Sect of the Heavenly Soul were not much different in strength, and faced with the presence of the Xuantian Realm, they probably didn¡¯t stand much chance! Joining forces was best. ¡°Alright, our Great Brilliance Sect agrees as well,¡± the Purple Robe Taoist also spoke up. ¡°We at Tingjian Pavilion certainly must give Sect Master Ao this courtesty.¡± The Master of Tingjian Pavilion smiled. Everyone agreed! ¡°Very well, immediately gather all forces above Profound Immortal from the four major sects, arrange the Formation-Breaking Great Array, and prepare to descend to the Lower World!¡± Ao Wushuangmanded forthwith! In the Lower World, within the vast and boundless Chaotic Stream Sea, a dark shadow shed, taking a single step to cover ten thousand li. It was a woman, d in a ck dress, with a proud stature, yet carrying a terrifying aura. At this moment, she stopped amidst the chaotic streams, her beautiful eyes looking towards a certain direction. ¡°The Xuantian Realm, is it?¡¡± It was a world shrouded in white mist. She sensed a familiar feeling. Since receiving the news from Ming Tianbei at the Demon Pce, she had traversed the spatial chaotic streams with unparalleled speed,ing here. Atst, she had arrived. With one step, shended outside the white mist. ¡°Only able to amodate Heavenly Immortals?¡± She frowned. If it had been before, she would never have condescended to suppress her own cultivation level to enter a certain realm; she was more ustomed to directly smashing through the realm barriers. Either destroy it to scorched earth or make it submit. ¡°Enough, the Demon Monarch is here; this realm might not yete to harm.¡± She randomly suppressed her own cultivation level and entered into the midst of the white mist. The next moment, she appeared over a meadow. She had entered the Xuantian Realm! At a nce, she saw the green grass sprouting beneath her feet, the oasis was thriving with vitality. ¡ªThis ce was once the ¡°Western Desert¡±! During this period, the Xuantian Realm was undergoing earth-shattering changes; even the deserts were reiming life. ¡°Hm? This realm is somewhat peculiar¡ as if it¡¯s hiding something¡¡± Her spiritual sense was extremely powerful, having reached this realm, she could even feel a certain hidden essence. ¡°If not for having other missions, I really would like to tear open this world to see what lies inside.¡± She didn¡¯t linger, turning around and heading towards the Southern Territory. Soon, she appeared above thends of the Southern Territory. With a thought, she began to summon Ming Tianbei. At this moment, Ming Tianbei was outside a small vige in secluded cultivation. Suddenly, his expression shook with joy, and standing up he said, ¡°Gong Ya Demon Marshal has finally arrived!¡± He immediately exited his secluded dwelling, in an instant arriving at a ce far away from the small vige, before he employed his demonic power to respond! In but an instant, the woman in the ck dress had already appeared before him. ¡°Subordinate pays respects to Gong Ya Demon Marshal!¡± Ming Tianbei immediately knelt to the ground to greet her, joyfully speaking! Gong Ya looked indifferently at Ming Tianbei, and asked, ¡°Where is the Demon Monarch? Why do I not sense her presence in this realm?¡± Ming Tianbei immediately answered, ¡°To report to the Marshal, the Demon Monarch has gained the protection of a terrifying senior, and now she is by his side.¡± Gong Ya spoke coolly, ¡°I tasked you to protect the Demon Monarch well, but now, you actually handed her over to an unknown person?¡± ¡°You have quite the nerve.¡± Ming Tianbei¡¯s body trembled immediately, he prostrated himself on the ground and said, ¡°No¡ Marshal, the Demon Monarch told me to leave. She said she wanted to follow that senior¡¡± ¡°Senior?¡± Gong Ya¡¯s words carried a hint of displeasure, ¡°You¡¯re saying, the Demon Monarch refers to that person as a senior?¡± Ming Tianbei felt the wrath in Gong Ya Demon Marshal¡¯s words; he understood that a single misstep might result in his immediate demise! ¡°Yes¡ Marshal, your subordinate wouldn¡¯t dare to lie. That senior is living secludedly in a nearby small vige, which is incredibly terrifying¡¡± He began to speak with a trembling voice. ¡°A small vige? Secluded?¡± A cold glint shed in Gong Ya¡¯s eyes, she said, ¡°Lead me there to see!¡± Chapter 101 - 96: Organizing and Smooth Chapter 101: Chapter 96: Organizing and Smooth Arrangementsi Trantor: 549690339 Not long after, Gong Ya Demon Marshal arrived at the small mountain vige with Ming Tianbei. ¡°Wait a moment¡ There¡¯s something strange here!¡± Gong Ya was shocked as she spoke solemnly, ¡°This little mountain vige may seem ordinary, but it clearly conceals terrifying Dao rhythms and rules, as if countless great Dao are emerging within it¡¡± Hearing this, Ming Tianbei was also shocked. When he arrived, he felt the extraordinariness of this ce, but due to his insufficient cultivation level, he could not clearly discern what that was. Now hearing the Demon Marshal¡¯s words, he felt even more reverence for this ce! Dao filled the air, and Dao rhythms were everywhere? Even in the Demon Domain and the Immortal Domain, such ces were extremely rare, right? ¡°It seems that there truly might be some formidable person hidden here¡¡± Gong Ya thought for a moment, a hint of wariness shing through her mind. Such a ce was extraordinary, and to enter rashly could lead to some mishap, even for her as a Demon Marshal¡ But the next moment, she stepped into the small mountain vige with her hands behind her back! No matter how dangerous or unfathomable, if the Demon Monarch was there, she absolutely could not stand by and do nothing. Just as she entered the small mountain vige, she began to feel even more acutely the spirit of the ce! ¡°The Dao is present in the air, with a mysterious mechanism surpassing Immortal Spirit Qi hidden¡ What exactly is concealed here?¡± ¡°To cultivate in this ce, one day could count for several years!¡± She murmured involuntarily! As she walked. ¡°The senior you mentioned, is he in seclusion within this astonishing cave dwelling?¡± Gong Ya suddenly pointed at a stone house! Her expression was very grave, for she sensed a supreme mechanism from that stone house, even surpassing her Demon Pce! ¡°No¡ no, that¡¯s not it¡¡± Ming Tianbei was somewhat bewildered as he said, ¡°Demon Marshal, this is just an ordinary viger¡¯s home.¡± Ordinary vigers?? Gong Ya Demon Marshal looked at Ming Tianbei with a puzzled gaze. She continued forward but kept in mind the particr house they had just passed. ¡°No¡ Stay away from those fences ahead, there is a terrifying formation within them; we must not enter by mistake¡¡± Suddenly, she eximed in shock and hurriedly kept her distance from a vegetable garden! The vegetable garden was surrounded by a bamboo fence! Ming Tianbei was even more astounded. He had often walked past this fence, and it was actually some sort of frightening formation? He broke out in a cold sweat at once! Heavens, what exactly was hidden in this small mountain vige? Thankfully, all these days, he had not acted rashly in the vige, always behaving humbly and properly as a demon, not as a person! Otherwise, he probably would have died hundreds of times over?? ¡°This ce is too terrifying, you must follow closely behind me; otherwise, if something happens, I won¡¯t be able to save you either!¡± Sweat beads began to form on the upturned tip of Gong Ya Demon Marshal¡¯s nose! She was extremely nervous! In this small mountain vige, terror lurked everywhere, with death traps at every turn! Her words made Ming Tianbei thoroughly nervous as well. Even the Demon Marshal was being so cautious and wary¡ They proceeded one after the other. When crossing a ditch, Gong Ya was on edge, every step she took on the stone bridge filled with fear and trepidation! Because there were terrifying Dao rules within the ditch! Passing by an old date tree on the roadside, Gong Ya took a wide berth around it, iming that the tree had already nurtured frightening creatures! Approaching a patch of green grass, she carefully walked on spots without grass. ¡°Each de of grass is a Divine Sword with a razor edge, capable of ying immortals. One cannot be careless!¡± She maintained caution! After a great deal of effort and half a day, they had only moved a short distance forward! Ming Tianbei was sweating profusely, trembling inside. Good heavens, why had he not noticed before? He had been too careless, too careless. Indeed, only a being with a matchless cultivation level like the Demon Marshal could see through the mysteries of this ce. He wiped his sweat and made up his mind. From now on, he definitely dared not wander about in the vige carelessly. It was too terrifying! Meanwhile. In the courtyard, Li Fan was picking pan peaches. The peaches on the peach tree had almost all ripened. If ripe, they should be eaten promptly to avoid spoiling. Hence, Li Fan nned to pick all of them. In addition to keeping some for himself and his disciples, he would distribute the rest to the vigers. At this moment, the huge and ripe peaches had already filled threerge baskets! Each one was fresh and tempting, making one¡¯s mouth water. A group of disciples were also busily helping out, feeling dizzy seeing so many pan peaches being picked. Just the Immortal Spirit Qi emanating from the pan peaches made them feel their pores opening, and their Immortal Spiritual Power circted faster! ¡°So many pan peaches, each one a priceless treasure, even higher in grade than Holy Medicine¡¡± Dugu Yuqing simply couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. There were too many! ¡°It is said that pan peaches bloom every three thousand years, bear fruit in three thousand years, and ripen in another three thousand years, but in the courtyard of our Master, they have ripened so quickly!¡± Nan Feng murmured, finding it incredible as she looked at the abundance of pan peaches. ¡°This is Master¡¯s astonishing method; his way of nting and cultivating has reached a level where even pan peaches can be easily altered¡ªtruly unfathomable like gods and ghosts!¡± Lu Rang¡¯s face was full of awe, almost wanting to kneel down. Finally, the ripe peaches on the peach tree were almost all picked, leaving only some that were not yet matured, still hanging on the branches. ¡°We¡¯ll keep a basket for ourselves to eat. Dugu Yuqing, Lu Rang, load up the peaches. I¡¯ll take you to deliver them to the vigers.¡± Li Fan spoke up. Upon hearing this, the few disciples were even more shocked. To give them to the vigers? They felt their mouths twitching involuntarily.. Chapter 102 - 96: Organizing and Smooth Arrangements_2 Chapter 102: Chapter 96: Organizing and Smooth Arrangements_2 Trantor: 549690339 I This kind of divine object, if ced in the outside world, I¡¯m afraid the Myriad Realms would go crazy for it. Yet here, Li Fan is actually about to give it away to those ordinary vigers? If the world knew about this, I¡¯m sure even the most powerful would be kneeling and begging toe here to settle down. ¡°The master treats people kindly and generously, with just a casual gift from his hand being enough for the world to enjoy inexhaustibly,¡± muttered Long Zixuan. ¡°The master truly deserves to be the great Buddha who delivers all beings. Such a divine object, given away at the mere mention¡ This is a true Buddha!¡± Qing Chen was also filled with extreme admiration. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Fan spoke up. Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang immediately shouldered two bamboo baskets. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Xinning stepped forward, her hand taking hold of Li Fan¡¯s. Through their time together, her reverence for Li Fan had grown increasingly profound, yet at the same time, she had be very familiar with him, understanding that he was approachable, just like a real big brother. She couldn¡¯t help but gradually start to trust Li Fan from the bottom of her heart. Li Fan replied, ¡°Okay.¡± He thought to himself that Xinning had been through much tribtion to finally arrive at the mountain vige, so he decided to take her to blend into this mountainmunity and to experience the simple, honest warmth. This would be very beneficial for a child¡¯s growth. They left the small courtyard, and Li Fan led them, delivering peaches door to door. ¡°This is Auntie Wang¡¯s house.¡± Li Fan knocked on the door while introducing. ¡°Ah, Little Li,e in,e and sit down!¡± Auntie Wang was very enthusiastic upon seeing Li Fan. ¡°Auntie Wang, the peaches in my yard are ripe. I specially brought some for you. Please get a container.¡± Li Fan said with a smile. ¡°Oh, Little Li, you¡¯re really too good to me,¡± Auntie Wang was not bashful and grabbed a bamboo winnow, picking seven or eightrge peaches with a beaming smile. Suddenly, with a mysterious air, she said: ¡°Little Li, remember what I mentionedst time, about introducing you to Old Qin¡¯s niece? Are you interested? That girl is well-proportioned, especially with a big behind, very fertile! If you marry her, she¡¯s sure to give you a pile of chubby boys!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan hastily replied, ¡°Auntie Wang, thank you, thank you, but I think I¡¯m quite happy being single.¡± ¡°I have to go; there¡¯s something else I need to do.¡± He quickly made his escape! ¡°Ah, if Old Qin¡¯s niece is not to your liking, Old Zhang¡¯s granddaughter is also very thrifty and good at managing a household¡¡± Behind him, Auntie Wang continued to call out. After leaving Auntie Wang¡¯s house, both Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing woreplex expressions, their eyes brimming with disbelief. The master, so mighty and unfathomable, able to kill a Profound Immortal with a flick of his finger¡ was actually forced to flee by an ordinary rural woman? This was simply unimaginable. Who would believe this if it were told? In Xinning¡¯s big eyes, curiosity was written all over, and she couldn¡¯t help but giggle, ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯ve also heard that well-proportioned big sisters are good for bearing children!¡± ¡°You little imp, clever for your age!¡± Li Fan pinched Xinning¡¯s little face. ¡°Hey hey, Master, look, there really is a well-proportioned one right there!¡± At this moment, Lu Rang suddenly spoke up, looking ahead with shining eyes! ¡°Such a beautiful woman¡¡± Dugu Yuqing also focused intently! Li Fan looked up to see a woman walking down the path ahead. The woman was in a ck long dress that highlighted her proud and tall figure, with graceful and tempting curves that were subtly revealed. Her straight long legs, towering peaks, and skin like creamy jade. On the left chest of her ck dress, a blood-red flower was embroidered, adding an icy beauty amidst her allure. At this moment, the enchanting and alluring woman was panting and dripping with sweat, seemingly very exhausted. Li Fan was taken aback for a moment. This girl¡ was really well-proportioned indeed! Where had shee from? This person was none other than Demon Marshal Gong Ya, who had entered the small mountain vige with Ming Tianbei! At this moment, Gong Ya was also stunned. She had seen Xinning from a distance and was so excited that she wanted to approach and pay her respects. But just now, she saw the young man beside the Demon Monarch casually pinch the Demon Monarch¡¯s cheek? What¡¯s going on here? Such audacity! That¡¯s a Demon Monarch! ¡°Who are you, to act so recklessly and impudently?¡± Demon Marshal Gong Ya couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Fan and rebuke him! To her, Li Fan didn¡¯t exude the slightest hint of a cultivator¡¯s presence, and the two young men beside him were nothing more than minor immortals, like ants. To disrespect the Demon Monarch was to incite her rage. A faint demon might was instantly released. In that moment, Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang, standing beside Li Fan, were shaken to the core, their pupils constricted, realizing that the well-dressed woman before them was an extremely terrifying cultivator! They were on high alert! But when Xinning saw this, she hastily said, ¡°Gong Ya, do not be disrespectful!¡± Gong Ya immediately looked at Xinning and said, ¡°Demon¡¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Xinning reprimanded! The usually cold Gong Ya was startled for a moment, but then she truly fell silent, not uttering a word! Why? Why was the Demon Monarch so hasty? Could it be, as Ming Tianbei said, there was some hidden, terrifyingly powerful individual? Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang were even more shocked at this moment. From what they had felt just now, this woman in the ck dress was very frightening. But to be reprimanded by Xinning, a young girl? What¡¯s going on here? ¡°Xinning, do you know this person?¡± Li Fan also asked. In herrge eyes, Xinning looked somewhat nervous, fearing that Gong Ya had offended Li Fan. She quickly said, ¡°Big Brother, she¡ she used to be my maidservant.¡± She could only tell the truth. Gong Ya was indeed a maidservant of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, but at the same time, she was also one of the most powerful Demon Marshals under hismand! Upon hearing this, Li Fan was momentarily surprised. A maidservant? He then understood. Xinning had been hunted before, and he had guessed that she must have an extraordinary background. Now it seemed, indeed, she does! Xinning must be a rich young miss! It must be so. And this maidservant, she came to find Xinning. ¡°So she¡¯s your maidservant.¡± Li Fan looked at Gong Ya with a smile and said, ¡°Your young miss is temporarily staying at my residence, so you can rest assured.¡± It was still very safe here. Upon hearing this, Gong Ya was taken aback. Was this young man the senior that even Ming Tianbei feared when mentioning? How could that be? Moreover, the Demon Monarch¡¯s attitude towards him was clearly respectful! In the vast Two Realms of Immortals and Demons, how many could receive such treatment from a Demon Monarch?! At that moment, Li Fan continued, ¡°Yuqing, Lu Rang, the two of you continue to distribute these peaches to the vigers, while I will take Xinning and this youngdy back to the mansion.¡± Since the other party had found them, they might want to take Xinning away, which would require proper handover. They still had to go back and get things clear. Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang said, ¡°Yes, Master!¡± They immediately carried the bamboo baskets and continued to walk ahead. As they brushed past Gong Ya, they instantly caught her attention. She instinctively nced at the bamboo baskets carried by Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang. It wasn¡¯t a big deal not to look, but with just one nce, she was stupefied! What was that¡? Pan Peaches? Chapter 103 - 97 Demon Marshal as a Maid_i Chapter 103: Chapter 97 Demon Marshal as a Maid_i Trantor: 549690339 I At this moment, Demon Marshal Gong Ya actually rubbed her eyes subconsciously! Could that be Pan Peaches? No, how could it be?! This is the Lower World, after all! Moreover, Pan Peaches bloom once every three thousand years, fruit every three thousand years, and mature every three thousand years; they are incredibly rare delicacies above and below the heavens, so precious that even within the Immortal Domain, they are exceedingly valuable! Even she, esteemed as a Demon Marshal, had only ever seen them. She had never tasted them. But now, someone was actually carrying tworge baskets of them and, what¡¯s more, giving them away as gifts?!? Could this be real? But, that surging Immortal Spirit Qi and the rich aura of Dao principles, each peach seemingly nurturing a kind of grand Dao¡ It was clearly Pan Peaches without a doubt! There can be no mistake! Really¡ are these Pan Peaches? Subconsciously, she turned her head and looked at Li Fan, her beautiful eyes instantly filled with deep wariness. What sort of being was he, casually giving away tworge baskets of Pan Peaches? How many must he have cultivated? Furthermore, thinking back to the barely survived encounters with the murderous intent, formations, and so on along the way! She understood, this youth before her was no mere mortal but someone whose depths she simply could not fathom. She somewhat understood why the Demon Monarch treated him with such respect¡ Right away, she took a deep breath and said, ¡°At yourmand.¡± Li Fan immediately proceeded with Xinning towards the small courtyard. Before long, he and Xinning returned to the small courtyard. ¡°This ce is my humble abode, pleasee in.¡± Li Fan smiled. Gong Ya looked at the small courtyard before her and saw the four big characters on the gate: Wu¡¯er Xianting! At that moment, she was stunned. It was just an ordinary-looking small courtyard, and yet she felt an overwhelming might! Here, it seemed to be as exalted as an ancient Immortal Pce, as untouchable as an Forbidden World! Merely approaching, she could feel the tumultuous aura of the Dao everywhere¡ The words ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting¡± even held a majestic presence that made her afraid to look twice! ¡°Forbiddennd¡¡± She muttered the words subconsciously and looked at Li Fan, seeing the casually amiable smile on his lips. ¡°Master of the Forbidden Area¡¡± In her heart, everything suddenly became clear. The entire little mountain vige was essentially a forbiddennd. And this small courtyard was the forbiddennd within the forbiddennd, the core of the little vige! Had she encountered the Master of the Forbidden Area, and what¡¯s more, ventured into his territory? Normally aloof, Gong Ya found herself unconsciously swallowing, feeling icy-cold from her fingertips! ¡°What are you waiting for? Come in.¡± Li Fanughed, stepping forward to open the gate. Xinning also spoke up, ¡°Gong Ya, Big Brother invited you¡ juste.¡± She didn¡¯t know what Li Fan intended to do, but she could not refuse. Gong Ya had no choice but to brace herself, nod, and follow. She walked into the small courtyard. The moment she stepped in, Gong Ya felt her whole body go weak! She sensed the terrifying presence of the Dao principles and some unspeakably powerful existences. The pressure was so intense that she copsed to the ground, letting out a frightened moan! ¡°Hm?¡± Li Fan turned around and saw Gong Ya sprawled on the ground, her perfect alluring figure faintly visible, and he was momentarily taken aback. This maid was too delicate, wasn¡¯t she?? Had she fallen just by walking a few steps? He turned back and helped Gong Ya to her feet, asking, ¡°Tired?¡± Subconsciously, Gong Ya clung to Li Fan¡¯s arm and barely managed to stand. Feeling the pressure of Gong Ya¡¯s impressive bosom against his arm, Li Fan stiffened slightly. But as she got up, a look of terror shed across Gong Ya¡¯s face, and she quickly said, ¡°I apologize, senior¡ I¡¯m sorry¡¡± Was she, a lowly creature like herself, worthy of touching such a fearsome being? Fortunately, with the support of this terrifying senior, she suddenly felt the awful oppression around her disappear. ¡°Uh¡ no problem, no problem,e sit.¡± Li Fan turned and took a seat in the chair, Gong Ya approaching nervously without daring to raise her head. ¡°You must be very tired; coincidentally, the peaches have just ripened, eat one first.¡± Li Fan casually picked a peach from the bamboo basket and handed it to Gong Ya. Gong Ya was instantly shocked¡ªwas this senior actually bestowing a Pan Peach upon her? Heavens, wasn¡¯t this a bit too generous? As a leader in her own right, she found herself so nervous and flustered that she couldn¡¯t speak or know what to do. ¡°Sister Gong Ya, Brother Li is giving you a peach, just ept it. Brother Li is very generous, this is quite normal,¡± Xinning also smiled; she knew all too well what her subordinate was feeling. As soon as she had entered the small courtyard, she, a Demon Monarch, even cried out of fear. Gong Ya, having heard this, took a deep breath and respectfully took the peach, biting into it gently. Immortal Spirit Qi burst forth between her teeth! The essence and principles of the Dao infused her entire body! This sweet vor! This divine washing! Gong Ya was immediately intoxicated. She couldn¡¯t help herself and took another bite! So sweet! Sorge! She ate with enjoyment, and soon, an entire Pan Peach was finished. ¡°Boom!¡± The aura of Gong Ya suddenly surged! She had actually¡ broken through to the next realm! ¡°Heavens, have I ascended from a Fourth Heaven Demon Marshal to the Seventh Heaven Demon Marshal Realm?¡± She was astonished! What kind of speed was this? It must be known that the further one progresses in cultivation, the harder it bes to advance. Above the Demon Marshals are the Demon Monarchs. And the Demon Marshals were the equivalent to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm in the Immortal Domain, where every step taken required calctions in tens of thousands of years! Now, the fortune she had received was equivalent to suffering through thirty or forty thousand years of hard cultivation! ¡°Thank you¡ thank you, senior!¡± At this moment, she was thoroughly convinced. Previously, she still had her doubts. How fearsome of a presence could exist in the Lower World? If there were one or two Golden Immortals, it would have already been tremendous. But she had never imagined that there would be an existence such as the Master of the Forbidden Area hiding here. What¡¯s more precious was that the other party was amiable toward her and others. She couldn¡¯t help but respect him! Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°There¡¯s no need for thanks.¡± ¡°Have youe to take your young miss away?¡± He inquired. Upon hearing this, both Xinning and Gong Ya were momentarily taken aback. What did this senior mean by asking this¡ Was he hoping for her to take the Demon Monarch away, or not? Gong Ya couldn¡¯t figure it out. After all, though the other appeared amiable, how could the Master of the Forbidden Area be easily dealt with? A single incorrect response might bring disaster upon her and the Demon Monarch! After contemting for a moment and unsure how to answer, she could only say, ¡°We will follow the senior¡¯s instructions!¡± Li Fan¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Even Gong Ya herself didn¡¯t know what to do? This indicated¡ things might not be going well for Xinning. If the family Xinning belonged to was still powerful, then Gong Ya would undoubtedly have taken her away without any hesitation. The fact that both the master and servant seemed so lost suggested that they¡ might no longer have a home to return to! ¡°Are you afraid of her enemies?¡± Li Fan asked. Gong Ya said, ¡°Although the enemy is strong, I am willing to fight to the death for the young miss!¡± Li Fan sighed. Despite Gong Ya¡¯s courage, what could a mere woman aplish? ¡°Xinning, what about you? Do you wish to leave, or what?¡± Li Fan then turned his question toward Xinning. Xinning blinked herrge eyes and then, with clever innocence, clung to Li Fan¡¯s arm, saying, ¡°I don¡¯t want¡ I don¡¯t want to leave Big Brother.¡± After some thought, Li Fan promptly said, ¡°All right, since that¡¯s the case, you two can continue to stay here.¡± ¡°This ce is quite safe.¡± Upon hearing this, Xinning was overjoyed and said, ¡°Thank you, Big Brother!¡± At that moment, Gong Ya was also filled with inexplicable joy. The Master of the Forbidden Area had allowed both her and the Demon Monarch¡ to stay here? That was too good to be true! She too quickly expressed her thanks, ¡°Thank you, senior, for providing us shelter!¡± Although she was a Demon Marshal, she was not invincible. There were also the Eight Great Demon Marshals left over from the era of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, watching enviously! Moreover, there were powerful enemies from the Immortal Realm. After all, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch had offended quite a few Immortal Monarchs¡ If she really took Xinning away, the pressure on Gong Ya would be tremendous! But now that this senior had pledged his protection, what was there to be afraid of? She was reassured! ¡°However, if you wish to stay, you¡¯ll have to do something in return.¡± Li Fan looked at Gong Ya and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re Xinning¡¯s maidservant, you can perform household duties, right?¡± He actually needed someone to do the housework since this small courtyard was so big. Although Nan Feng and Zi Ling were diligent, their work was not adept, and besides, they still needed to learn painting and ying the zither, so it wouldn¡¯t do to always have them in the kitchen. Gong Ya was startled for a moment, household¡ household duties? She, a Demon Marshal who had instilled fear far and wide, had never heard of such a term! ¡°She knows how.¡± Xinning quickly spoke up, saying, ¡°Big Brother, from now on, she will be your servant girl!¡± Gong Ya, the Demon Marshal, also gritted her teeth and said through clenched teeth, ¡°Senior, I¡ I know everything!¡± Better to stay first and talkter, as for household duties¡ she can always learn! Chapter 104 - 98: Fusion - Rift World—1 Chapter 104: Chapter 98: Fusion ¨C Rift World¡ª1 Trantor: 549690339 | At this moment. The Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents. Streaks of flowing light crossed the void, traveling between different worlds. In the Xuanming Realm, the World Tree had already vanished a year ago, plunging the entire world into rapid decline. The creatures of this realm were almost allmenting, for they had learned that powerful Immortals had taken the World Tree, and in not many years, this world would be a barrennd. Today, several powerful Immortals appeared in this world, nting pieces of the White Jade Array te at the world¡¯s four extremes! When all the White Jade Array tes were in ce, the Immortals infused them with Spiritual Power, and in an instant, four terrifying beams of light shot up from the four extremes of this world, seemingly imprisoning the entire world! In a sh, countless creatures fell into panic! ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why do I feel the earth trembling, and the world almostpletely immobilized?¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying, is this the end of the world?¡± Heaven and earth were shaking! The Huangdao Realm. This world, being smaller than the Mysterious Character Realm, was plunged into darkness and chaos with just three Array tes, the ground splitting and mountains shaking! The verynd cracked open, as if the whole world was about to be destroyed! Supremes, Saint Masters, and others were all howling in despair! The Earth Yuan Realm. This realm was very powerful, and it took four Profound Immortals to fully control the grand array. The moment the grand array burst into light, there was even a remnant world will resisting. This world was resisting the fate of being merged. But, each of the four Profound Immortals had magical treasures shining in their hands, repressing everything! Without the World Tree, there was nothing to stop them! For a time, the entire realm watched closely, with some powerful creatures coldly observing. ¡°Even if fused, our Earth Yuan Realm will be the center, and we will still reign supreme!¡± Some powerful beings roared unwillingly. ¡°After the fusion, the Earth Yuan Realm will still be the Earth Yuan Realm, but the other worlds will be our vassals¡¡± Some creatures whispered softly. The Earth Character Realm was very powerful, capable of birthing Heavenly Immortals and even Golden Immortals, so the strong beings of this realm remained much calmer, waiting! The Earth Spirit Realm. Inside the Sub-rudder Main Hall of the Earth Spirit Realm. ¡°Reporting to the Helmsman, the grand arrays for the ny-nine worlds have all been deployed!¡± An elder reported. in a matter of days, almost all hands from the sub-rudder had mobilized, just to set up the grand array. Now, with just onemand, the ny-nine worlds would merge under the influence of ny-nine great arrays. And the terrifying power generated wouldpletely pulverize the Xuantian Realm at the center of the storm. At the head, Sect Leader Yang Yuantian nodded, a cold smile on his lips. ¡°I have already reported our actions to the branch, and the branch will send people to help us, for the Forbidden Artifacts of interest to the Holy Land are of great concern to them,¡± he said. Upon hearing this, everyone was even more reassured. ¡°Where is Yang Yuantian? Come out and wee us,¡± called a faint voice from outside. At that moment, everyone hurried out. In front of the mountain gate stood five people! One of them was an old man with an immortal aura, exhibiting an extraordinary presence, as if he had transcended the mortal realm, his eyes full of indifference and ruthlessness. By his side, the four strong individuals following him were all practitioners with cultivations not weaker than Yang Yuantian! ¡°Is that¡ Elder Zhou of Song State?!¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, Elder Zhou is about to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable that such an esteemed person hase here, in person¡ Voices erupted in astonishment among the crowd. Yang Yuantian too stepped forward to bow deeply, saying, ¡°I greet Elder Song! ¡°Everything is ready now. When should we start merging the Hundred Worlds? I await your instruction, elder,¡± he said. Elder Zhou of Song State replied indifferently, ¡°Actually, annihting a minor Xuantian Realm hardly necessitates such fanfare¡ But since you have prepared thoroughly, merging the Hundred Worlds is indeed necessary. There is no need for further dy; begin immediately.¡± ¡°1 will oversee this merger myself. And together with the guardians from the Earth Spirit Realm sub-rudder, there will be seven Golden Immortals¡ I hope, as you im, there are Forbidden Artifacts to be found, otherwise, you are aware of the consequences of deceiving the branch,¡± he said with a hint of threat in his voice. Yang Yuantian immediately tensed up and said, ¡°Please rest assured, elder!¡± Afterward, he immediately spoke, ¡°Issue themand, activate the Array te, begin the integration!¡± ¡°Activate the Array te, begin the integration!¡± Commands, one after another, flew swiftly from the Earth Spirit Realm to all worlds through the Transmission Crystal! Xuanming Realm. ¡°Themand has been given, activate the Array te!¡± An elder of the Sub-rudder nced at the crystal in his hand and immediately spoke! In an instant, the entire Xuanming Realm, as if driven by some terrifying force, actually began to moveterally in the void! Heavens and Earth turned upside down, rivers flew backward, and countless beings wailed in agony! Earth Yuan Realm. ¡°Activate!¡± A voice also rose, and six majestic rainbows of light, akin to six terrifying chains, tugged at the entire world. Even though the Earth Yuan Realm had a high stature, it was now also suffering catastrophes likendslides, and the sounds of panic arose among the Wan Ling! ¡°Seal the Sect Gates, and wait for the integration toplete!¡± ¡°Do not resist, go into hiding immediately!¡± Many major powers had already made their preparations! Huangdao Realm. ¡°No¡¡± ¡°Save me¡¡± ¡°Is this the end of the world?¡± Countless cultivators and mortals howled, and when the great Array te was activated, the Huangdao Realm, alreadycking in stature, directly shattered into three parts amidst the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void! From the perspective of the entire Chaos Flow Sea in the void, it was like three fragmented nks moving in a certain direction! If there were a pair of eyes suspended high in the void, they would certainly see that nearly a hundred small worlds were converging in a certain ce under the pull of some formation¡ It resembled the movement of stars scattered across the sky. Soon, these worlds created terrifying spatial tempests as they moved! Countless tempests intersected and ovepped! Eventually, a terrifying vortex appeared! It was formed by the horror-inducing fluctuations of ny-nine worlds, which, collectively harnessing the power of ny-nine realms, could destroy everything! The enormous vortex moved along with the movement of the worlds, speeding towards a certain direction! There, incredibly, was a world that had not moved at all, remaining stationary in its ce! The vast space vortex rapidly approached that world, seemingly about to engulf it! Immortal Domain. Northern Immortal Domain, Saint Cloud City. At this moment, a five-colored altar had also been erected. The five-colored altar was almost entirely made of ancient Primitive Realm Stones! This time, the four major sects held nothing back, having taken out almost everything they had. Just to ensure that they could send the most powerful individuals down to the Immortal Domain! Outside the altar, the experts of the four major sects had also gatheredpletely. Ao Wushuang led the Golden Armored Generals of the Saint Cloud Sect¡ªnearly all above Profound Immortal, with over a dozen being Heavenly Immortals. Ao Wushuang himself had reached the realm of Golden Immortal! By his side, the Master of Qingyue Sect, Purple Robe Taoist, and the Master of Sword Listening Pavilion, all three also exuded extraordinary auras. They were only slightly inferior to Ao Wushuang, all at the pinnacle of Heavenly Immortal, just one step away from entering that realm. ¡°This time, our four major sects, one Golden Immortal, twenty-five Heavenly Immortals, and nearly a hundred Profound Immortals! The eyes of Purple Robe Taoist held a tinge of fanaticism as he said, ¡°We must obtain that Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune!¡± The rest also nodded, at this stage, there was no turning back from loosing the bow. If they were not sessful, it was likely that all four major sects would suffer heavy blows. But, such probability need not be considered now. Their strength was so formidable that, let alone a minor Mysterious Character Lower World, they could even annihte those powerful Earth Character Realms! ¡°Open the altar, tear the realm barriers, cross realms- ¡± Ao Wushuang roared! At this moment. In the Xuantian Realm, the entire world suddenly fell into panic! Chapter 105 - 99: Apocalypse Vortexi Chapter 105: Chapter 99: Apocalypse Vortexi Trantor: 549690339 I Xuan Tian Realm! At this moment, the entire world was trembling. The ground shook slightly, the clouds in the sky dissipated without a breeze, and though it was midday, the sun vanished and reappeared intermittently. Day and night alternated in the heavens and earth! And every creature was filled with a profound terror. ¡°What¡¯s happening, why do I feel as if some terrifying entity is about to devour our entire world?¡± ¡°It¡¯s as if a giant hand is about to destroy the Xuan Tian Realm in one fell swoop!¡± ¡°What in the world is going on? Heavens, could this be the same cross-realm actions asst time?¡± Countless people were panic-stricken! Last time, the Ten Great Profound Immortals crossed realms, but everyone could see it and knew what was happening. This time, however, everything was happening invisibly. No one knew what was happening, but everyone felt palpitations and fear. Unknown, some unknown existence was destroying this realm! Southern Territory! ¡°What in the world is happening? What urred?!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao was shocked beyond measure as he frantically looked around the sky, at a loss. ¡°Where is the enemy, where is the enemy?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord took a step forward and appeared above the Southern Territory, staring intently at the realm barrier, yet he felt no flux from it! It wasn¡¯t caused by someone crossing realms!? ¡°Brother Lingchao, Brother Yuanyang, do you know what¡¯s happening?¡± Cihang Saint Lord also arrived, her beautiful eyes filled with tension. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡¡± The brows of Yuanyang Holy Lord were deeply furrowed! ¡°Everyone, what exactly is happening? My heart has never trembled like this before, as if the whole world is about to be destroyed!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming was exceedingly anxious. They were all Immortals, and if someone was crossing realms, they would dare to confront them in battle! But now, no one even knew where the enemy was! ¡°The real threates from the Chaotic Stream Sea!¡± At that moment, a heavy voice rang out, and Dugu Chenlu stepped forward, carrying a rust-covered long sword in his hand! ¡°What?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were surprised. The Chaotic Stream Sea? ¡°This is the only exnation¡ Something from outside must be threatening the existence of the Xuan Tian Realm! Since it¡¯s not someone from the Immortal Domain crossing realms, then it can only mean that something in the Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents is approaching our realm!¡± Dugu Chenlu said, ¡°We should now cross the realm barrier to check!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord immediately nodded and said, ¡°I agree, let¡¯s go!¡± Everyone nodded in agreement, as this seemed to be the only exnation. ¡°Brother Lingchao, please immediately go to Fire Country and find Ling¡¯er, the Divine Maiden, and Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden. With such a major event urring, merely a few of us minor Immortals are unlikely to handle it. We need to ask Senior Li to take action!¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke at the same time! ¡°Okay!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao turned into a streak of immortal light and headed straight for Fire Country! Meanwhile, Dugu Chenlu and the others instantly arrived at the boundary of the realm barrier. The mist was thick, yet now it dispersed in chaos, as if sensing some terrifying threat. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Dugu Chenlu, holding the rusted sword, took a step forward. The others immediately followed suit. In the next moment, they appeared outside the realm barrier, standing amidst the boundless Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents! Upon their emergence, their hearts sank as the feeling of impending threat and panic became even more intense! ¡°No¡ what is that? What is that?!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming was shocked, pointing ahead! In truth, there was no need for his alert, as the others had already seen it as well. Because the sight was too magnificent! It was a vast and terrifying vortex, drawing in millions of chaotic voidcurrents, powerful enough to destroy everything! The vortex¡ was moving towards the Xuan Tian Realm! And it was moving fast! To the naked eye, the lifelessndmasses floating in the void exploded into dust the moment they were swept by the vortex! As the Terrifying Vortex approached, the surrounding chaos flows of the void almost seemed to boil! ¡°Heavens, what exactly is going on? What is that thing?!¡± Cihang Saint Lord murmured in shock, her eyes filled with horror. ¡°A kind of vortex of the chaotic voidcurrents that can destroy anything, that can destroy everything, the Xuan Tian Realm¡ is doomed!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord¡¯splexion turned ghastly pale! ¡°Is this the Apocalypse Vortex¡ not just mere Immortals, even if Profound Immortals and Heavenly Immortals were here, what could they do? They too would die¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming¡¯s eyes were filled with despair. Dugu Chenlu¡¯s heart trembled, his eyelids twitched non-stop; he understood that this vortex was incredibly terrifying and unstoppable! ¡°Let¡¯s go, back to the Xuan Tian Realm!¡± He shouted! Everyone hastily crossed the realm barrier and returned to the Xuan Tian Realm! Due to the proximity of the terrifying vortex, the entire realm was now starting to tremble! Countless beings were wailing and screaming¡ They immediately went back to the Southern Territory. ¡°We must see Senior Li! He is our only hope!¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke directly, and everyone made their way towards the Cangli Mountain Range! Meanwhile. In the Cangli Mountain Range, a small mountain vige. Within a small courtyard. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°The heavens are flickering between light and dark, such a terrifying aura¡ could it be the end of the world?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no one crossing realms in the sky, what in the world is happening?¡± A group of Disciples had stopped what they were doing, filled with uncertainty. Fear was evident on their faces! The Xuan Tian Realm had already sensed terror on its own, so this fear would immediately transmit to every creature within the realm! Li Fan was teaching Xinning to recite poetry when he, too, furrowed his brow deeply. What is going on here? Last time, one could say the weather was strange, but this time¡ it¡¯s a tremendous disaster. Even as a mortal, he could feel it! Xinning¡¯s expression changed, and she nced at Gong Ya, who was serving tea to Li Fan! Gong Ya¡¯s beautiful face was also filled with a look of shock and doubt! ¡°Is Senior Li here?¡± At this moment, Mu Qianning¡¯s anxious voice rang out from outside the door. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Fan spoke. Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and Saint Lord Lingchao pushed the door open and strode straight toward Li Fan. When they saw Gong Ya, they were all somewhat surprised. When had such a beautiful woman appeared beside Senior Li? Who is she? But they didn¡¯t have time to ask these questions. Mu Qianning went straight to the point: ¡°Senior Li, something terrible has happened¡ The Xuantian Realm seems to be facing a colossal cmity!¡± ¡°ording to the spections of several seniors, there might be some terrifying entity in the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void¡ set on destroying the Xuantian Realm!¡± Mu Qianning spoke nervously. Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan, Dugu Yuqing, and others were visibly shocked. Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents? They did not know what it was, but they understood the gravity of the current situation. Was there some terrifying entity intent on destroying the Xuantian Realm? Even Gong Ya was murmuring, ¡°Void storm, chaos vortex? Each is difficult to deal with¡¡± As a former Demon Marshal, she had witnessed countless Lower Worlds destroyed by the great void vortexes or chaotic streams! But such events were exceedingly rare! Why would the Xuantian Realm encounter it? Confused, she turned to Xinning and transmitted her voice, ¡°Demon Monarch, should I go out and have a look?¡± However, Xinning shook her head and said, ¡°With Big Brother Li here, we just have to wait.¡± At the moment, she still had full confidence in Li Fan! But Li Fan was shocked to his core. Good God¡ The destruction of the Xuantian Realm? Is this real or false? No way¡ Could my peaceful days really being to an end? I don¡¯t want to die¡ Li Fan felt somewhat hollow at the moment, but still managed to keep hisposure, saying, ¡°Do not panic, stay calm, not everything is¡¡± ¡°Dugu Chenlu seeks an audience with Senior Li!¡± At this time, another high-pitched call came from outside! Dugu Chenlu and others had arrived. The situation was too urgent; they could no longer concern themselves with proprieties. ¡°Father?¡± Upon hearing the voice, Dugu Yuqing was immediately overjoyed. ¡°Your father? Then please let them in.¡± Li Fan said. Dugu Yuqing hurried forward to open the door, and right afterward, Dugu Chenlu, Saint Teacher Kongming, Yuanyang Holy Lord, and others all walked in. ¡°Holy Master¡¡± Qing Chen also looked toward Saint Teacher Kongming. When Saint Teacher Kongming saw Qing Chen, he was taken aback for a moment. This¡ Qing Chen¡¯s aura was so transcendent and otherworldly? Stronger than his own¡ almost reaching the realm of a Profound Immortal? Saint Teacher Kongming was shocked on the spot. Qing Chen was still holding a broom. Could it be that he reached the Xuanxian Realm just by sweeping the floor in this small courtyard? Saint Teacher Kongming¡¯s state of mind became incrediblyplex. But this thought shed by only momentarily. There were more pressing matters at hand! ¡°Senior Li, there¡¯s been a terrible development. We went out to investigate and discovered terrifying vortexes attacking from the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void. I fear that¡ no one in the Xuantian Realm can stop them!¡± Dugu Chenlu bowed deeply to Li Fan! They were all looking at Li Fan. Everyone was looking at Li Fan. They had all realized that this matter was truly serious, too serious! Moreover, it seemed that the apocalypse-bringing entity was steadily drawing closer to the Xuantian Realm, and the horror, oppression, and despair in everyone¡¯s hearts were only intensifying! Li Fan felt utterly disordered inside¡ My God, what could I possibly do about the end of the world? Li Fan wanted to say, ¡°I¡¯m not even a cultivator!¡± But he could see that this group of people, both old and young, was utterly panic-stricken. No, damn it, even if I have to die, I want to die gracefully. After all, Zi Ling and Nan Feng, his two beautiful disciples, were watching. His newly acquired stunning maid was watching too. With so many eyes upon him, Li Fan found himself determined to die with dignity. He waved his hand andmanded, ¡°Gong Ya, pour the tea!¡± Gong Ya was stunned for a moment, shocked. At such a critical time, how could this being remain so casual?! She knew that a great void vortex, while it might not kill a domain master, would still definitely cause considerable trouble! All those present couldn¡¯t help but deeply admire him! ¡°Indeed a being that transcends the conventional, even at such a time, Senior Li can remain soposed!¡± praised Yuanyang Holy Lord with deep respect. ¡°With such tranquility andposure, could it be that the Xuantian Realm will indeed remain safe?¡± Dugu Chenlu was somewhat shocked. The disciples, seeing Li Fan¡¯s serenity, suddenly felt themselves quieting down. Gong Ya nervously poured tea for Li Fan, who took it, sipped it, and then realized the tea had gone cold. He too was feeling a bit uneasy, ufortable under everyone¡¯s stares, and immediately took the cold tea to the peach tree, where he watered the newly nted sapling. All eyes followed Li Fan, and when they saw the small sapling¡ everyone was struck speechless in an instant. Their gazes were glued to it! Chapter 106 - 100: A Leaf That Can Stabilize the World_1 Chapter 106: Chapter 100: A Leaf That Can Stabilize the World_1 Trantor: 549690339 I Seeing the sapling, everyone was shocked! ¡°What tree is that¡ Why do I feel like I want to worship it?¡± Saint Teacher Kongming eximed in astonishment. ¡°The spiritual power within my body seems to resonate with this tree, is this¡ could this be the origin of the Xuantian Realm?¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord was also very surprised! At this moment, Dugu Chenlu gasped sharply and said, ¡°This¡ this is the World Tree!¡± World Tree! Upon these words, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others were utterly shocked. ¡°What? The World Tree is actually here?¡± ¡°In the past, the World Tree seemed to be pursued by something, took refuge in the Southern Territory, with an unknown existence lending a hand. Now it seems that Senior Li was the one who saved it!¡± ¡°Moreover, Senior Li also nted the World Tree¡ Isn¡¯t it a legend that the World Tree is a rare miracle of heaven and earth that cannot be sustained by the soil of this world? It¡¯s supposed to die once it leaves the Xuanhuang Mist Sea¡ but it has survived here?¡± In a moment, Cihang Saint Lord, Saint Teacher Kongming, and others were simply astonished. The World Tree, that is the foundation of a realm, a matter of the utmost importance. Moreover, the World Tree shares life and death with the world; it has never been heard that the World Tree could be cultivated by someone! ¡°It¡¯s too terrifying, what kind of heaven-defying existence is Senior Li to have nted the World Tree¡¡± ¡°Unimaginable, Senior Li¡¯s realm, we probably do not even have the qualification to look up to it¡¡± They were all shocked in session. And yet, at the moment Li Fan poured a cup of tea, the sapling, which was already full of life, suddenly sprouted a tender leaf! Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded, disbelieving! ¡°A cup of tea can actually make the World Tree burst forth with such vitality?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that too defying of the heavens?¡± In that instant, everyone distinctly felt the mysterious and unfathomable Daoist charm emanating from the World Tree, the rules of the operation of heaven and earth, the wonderful rationale behind the evolution of the world¡ And it was at this moment! Throughout the Xuantian Realm, in countless spaces, suddenly many chains of order appeared, shining brilliantly, golden runes flowing like water, covering the heavens! In the sky domain of the entire Xuantian Realm, a terrifying tree shadow suddenly appeared at this moment! All the golden chains of order originated from its branches! This terrifying tree shadow propped open the entire sky of the Xuantian Realm; whether it was the Western Desert, Central Province, Eastern Wilderness, Southern Territory, all could see it! It is supreme, unique! The chains of order emitted rays of light tens of thousands of li long, now extending beyond the boundary wall! At this moment, the hazy white fog had already disappeared, the boundary wall clear as if it were a thin piece of crystal, and numerous beings and cultivators of the Xuantian Realm easily saw the scene in the Void Ocean of Chaotic Flowcurrents beyond the boundary wall! A terrifying vortex of storm, as if carrying the force of apocalypse, was sweeping towards us from the Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents! Countless floating wastnds were lightly swept away and turned into flying ash, ceasing to exist. Apocalypse Vortex! At that time, all beings were horrified! ¡°Good heavens, what is that thing? It¡¯sing towards our Xuantian Realm?¡± ¡°A great storm generated in the Sea of Chaotic Voidcurrents, let alone us from the Mysterious Character Realm, even the Earth Character Realm would be torn apart, no being could survive!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, this time, our Xuantian Realm is truly doomed!¡± People panicked. At this moment, in the sky of the Xuantian Realm, that terrifying tree shadow, its numerous branches shing with golden light, reached out towards the vast vortex! The Apocalypse Vortex had already stretched for billions of li at this moment, enveloping countless spaces, vast as a limitless ck hole! Byparison, the golden branches seemed like insignificant rays of light. Countless golden chains of order, crossing through time and space, touched the edge of the Terrifying Vortex. But the terrifying storm did not pause for even a moment because of the golden chains of order! At that moment, the Apocalypse Vortex was only a thousand li away from the Xuantian Realm. The terrifying and trembling aura of destruction transmitted its way. Countless crystal-like boundary walls shattered at this moment. Surging currents from the Void Ocean flooded in chaotically, as if water from a burst dam, rushing into the Xuantian Realm. The Apocalypse Vortex was yet to arrive, but just these infiltrating currents of the Void were enough to destroy a world. -A ripple from the Void Ocean falling on the Lower World would be an unbearable disaster. That golden terrifying tree shadow, at this moment, burst forth with endless light again; its golden chains of order did not extend any further, instead weaving into a series of goldens, blocking the chaotic flows from entering the Xuantian Realm! It could only defend¡ªalthough this defense was also akin to sitting ducks. The vortex was closing in in an instant, with only a hundred li left! In the entire Xuantian Realm, all beings had their hearts lifted to their throats at this moment! The whole world seemed as if it had fallen into dead silence. Powerful viins trembled, crouching as they looked toward the domains beyond. Hermit elders with despair in their eyesy down in their coffins. Sweethearts embraced tightly, wishing to die together¡ ¡°s, the World Tree of the Xuantian Realm has grown terrifyingly strong in just a short period of time, butpared to this Apocalypse Vortex, it¡¯s still insignificant,¡± ¡°No one can stop it, this is the fate of the Xuantian Realm.¡± ¡°Wait for death¡¡± Countless cultivatorsmented! Inside the small courtyard. When the golden tree shadow appeared in the Sky Domain, people like Saint Teacher Kongming were utterly shocked. Because they felt that the World Tree was far more powerful than when the Ten Great Profound Immortals crossed realms. But, the World Tree¡¯s resistance was nothing in front of the boundless Apocalypse Vortex; even when the barriers of the realm were shattered¡ All faces turned ashen! How could this be resisted? It was too hard, desperate enough to make people lose hope! At this moment, however, Li Fan was gazing at the tender green leaf upon the little sapling. ¡°The tree is actually alive.¡± Li Fan alsoughed, saying, ¡°Lu Rang,e, let your teacher teach you another method of nurturing.¡± Li Fan had already left it to fate, since if the world was truly going to be destroyed, as a mortal, he could do nothing. His nature was not to borrow troubles. So, he did what needed to be done. Each minute of time held its unique meaning. At this moment, the tree that was about to regain its vitality represented that meaning. Li Fan disliked wasting precious time. Lu Rang approached somewhat absent-mindedly. ¡°A dead tree reborns, young leaves emerge. At this time, the dead tree would have umted a certain amount of strength. However, to truly revive the tree and make it grow more robust, we need to strike while the iron is hot!¡± Li Fan said, ¡°Go fetch some water.¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Rang hurriedly went to the well and drew a basin of water. ¡°Water it promptly, then cover it with mature soil.¡± Li Fan watered the ground, then picked up a hoe, turned over the soil, and covered the roots with earth. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the roots will be replenished, and the young leaves will grow rapidly.¡± He gently touched the tender leaf. Indeed, no sooner had he spoken than the new green leaf unfurled at that instant. It was in this moment. In the Xuantian Realm¡¯s Sky Domain, that terrifying golden tree shadow, an emerald green leaf suddenly emitted a brilliant light! The branch that grew the leaf had actually reached beyond the realm¡¯s barrier. The green leaf then floated down. Heading towards the terrifying Apocalypse Vortex. The Apocalypse Vortex swept across countless wastnds, engulfing infinite void, capable of annihting any realm! A leaf full of vitality descending towards it was like a speck of dust by the roadside, utterly insignificant. But as the leaf drifted into the space above the terrifying vortex. Suddenly, the leaf expanded instantly, its veins extending billions of miles, filling the sky with verdant splendor! That single leaf had be boundless, covering the entire Apocalypse Vortex! ¡°Boom???? ¡± At that moment, a terrifying disturbance spread throughout the Void Ocean! The Apocalypse Vortex went wild, the surrounding countless stars and wastnds exploded simultaneously, like towering waves surging, causing the beings of the universe to tremble. But the leaf, light and seemingly effortless, ultimately descended! With the falling of the leaf, the terrifying Apocalypse Vortex disappeared! In a single moment, the sea of the void suddenly calmed down! The Apocalypse Vortex¡ had vanished! At this instant, the whole world fell silent. In the boundless Chaos Flow Sea of the Void, only that piece of green leaf stood out, lush and dripping with vigor! Chapter 107 - 101A Flower, A World i Chapter 107: Chapter 101A Flower, A World i Trantor: 549690339 | Xuantian Realm, at this moment, all beings are startling. Petrification! The entire realm has petrified. Everyone is just staring nkly at the scene in the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void outside the Xuantian Realm, their eyes wide and mouths agape. ¡°Heavens, what is that? Are those leaves growing on the World Tree? How can they possess such terrifying might?¡± ¡°A single leaf, repressing a storm that could annihte worlds? How is this possible¡¡± ¡°Am I seeing things? Or is everything that happened today just an illusion?¡± In Xuantian Realm, countless cultivators simply could not believe what they saw! But, at this moment, even more people are bowing in worship towards the silhouette of that tree in the sky domain! ¡°The World Tree has protected us!¡± ¡°Yes, that leaf belongs to the World Tree!¡± ¡°Oh heavens, the World Tree of our Xuantian Realm is too miraculous, it can even withstand such apocalyptic storms?¡± The worldly people knelt and worshipped with utmost sincerity! Meanwhile, in the small courtyard. Yuanyang Holy Lord, Cihang Saint Lord, Dugu Chenlu, and other masters, at this moment, were also stricken with silence. They gazed nkly at the scene before them. As if they had witnessed something inconceivable. ¡°Senior Li casually intervened, and made the World Tree unleash an unspeakably terrifying power¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming murmured. ¡°What doomsday storm¡ In the eyes of a terrifying existence like Senior Li, it is nothing at all, not even worth a second nce¡¡± Dugu Chenlu¡¯s expression wasplex; at this moment, his admiration for Li Fan knew no bounds. Li Fan¡¯s disciples were also shocked to the extreme. ¡°This tree can actually unleash such great power¡¡± ¡°Our master is too terrifying, too terrifying¡¡± Lu Rang looked at Li Fan, and at this moment his body trembled with excitement! What is the way of nurturing and growing? This is the real way of nurturing and growing! In the eyes of the world, this is but a minor technique, but in the hands of Senior Li, it can turn decay into a miracle, a mere tree can disy might that surpasses the supreme¡ ¡°I have found a new path; even in farming, one can cultivate the Invincible Path, and grow techniques that make the stars of the heavens tremble with fear!¡± He clenched his fists! And Gong Ya, at this moment, subconsciously stepped back two steps, her beautiful eyes filled with shock, and her towering chest rose and fell unevenly! She looked at Li Fan, her eyes brimming with awe! It must be known that even a Daluo Golden Immortal, faced with such a frightening Apocalypse Vortex, would almost be at a loss. Even if she were to confront it, she would likely have to fight with all her strength and still suffer severe injuries¡ But this existence, casually watering the World Tree, settled it all¡ What is meant by ¡®turning hand to cloud and covering hand to rain¡¯? This is it! Her expression grewplex. Was this the supreme might of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone? In Xinning¡¯s wide eyes, at this moment, light was shining: ¡°A single leaf can suppress worlds¡ I clearly saw, the moment he gently touched that green leaf, it brought a supreme opportunity to the World Tree¡ This World Tree may grow to a state that even immortals will tremble at!¡± She murmured, her resolve bing firmer. In this life, she must cling to Li Fan, this mighty support, even in death! And Li Fan, turning to see the unbelievably shocked expressions of everyone, felt a hint of pride in his heart. ¡°A flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi.¡± Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Life is unpredictable, but every moment of beauty is eternal. When you¡¯re unsettled in mind, if you look at the small beauties around you, perhaps you might see a different world.¡± Just now, these people, each and every one of them got so scared. He was also admonishing them that one shouldn¡¯t overthink, just do what you need to do. After all, if the world were to be destroyed, you can¡¯t do anything about it, so why worry unnecessarily. However, hearing his words, all the people present fell into deep thought! ¡°The words of Senior Li are like the sound of the great Dao, containing the profound truth¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming murmured. ¡°What an amazing concept, ¡®a single flower forms a world, a single leaf serves as a Bodhi.¡¯ To someone like Senior Li, the Apocalypse Vortex is no different from the dust by the roadside¡¡± Dugu Chenlu let out a long sigh. ¡°Such a profound realm, such a profound realm¡ Is this the elegance of a Forbidden Zone¡¯s master?¡± Gong Ya murmured, her eyes, as she looked at Li Fan in this instant, actually revealed deep admiration! ¡°A single flower forms a world, a single leaf serves as a Bodhi¡ All minor things possess their eternal beauty¡¡± And next to them, Qing Chen, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly underwent a breath transformation in a trance! Everyone turned their heads in surprise to look at him. ¡°Has he¡ broken through?¡± ¡°The Xuanxian Realm?¡± ¡°Senior Li¡¯s casual actions could create an invincible World Tree, and his simple words could enlighten a Profound Immortal¡ Such a great opportunity!¡± Everyone envied and praised him! And Qing Chen also opened his eyes, his gaze so clear! He looked at Li Fan, and with a deep bow, he said, ¡°Thank you, Master, for imparting your teachings!¡± Yet, in his heart, he was sighing, ¡°The true great Buddha indeed reflects the highest Zen principles in every word and deed!¡± If it weren¡¯t for those few words from Li Fan, it might have taken him a long time to enter the Xuanxian Realm. The others had even moreplicated expressions on their faces. At this moment. The oppressing, fearful sensation, along with the disappearing Apocalypse Vortex, waspletely gone, and they all returned to normal. Li Fan looked outside at the world. The sky was clear and the day was lovely. ¡°Another strange weather pattern?¡± Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Now then, Gong Ya, bring out a new pot of tea to serve everyone.¡± He was quite pleased. Upon hearing this, Gong Ya nodded hurriedly and said, ¡°Yes¡ Senior.¡± She went to prepare the tea, and before long, she brought it back. ¡°Please enjoy the tea, everyone.¡± She served the tea to Dugu Chenlu and the others. ¡°Hmm?¡± Dugu Chenlu seemed to sense something and suddenly stared at Gong Ya with surprise and a hint of fear, saying, ¡°Senior Li¡¯s newly acquired servant girl? She is clearly a boundlessly terrifying powerhouse¡¡± The rest also instantly became nervous and uneasy. They had actually been served tea by an entity of this caliber, was there no order left in the world? ¡°Master, may I delve deeper into the mystical methods of tree cultivation today?¡± At this time, Lu Rang eagerly spoke up. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Yes, you may start with this sapling. When you can make this sapling as lush as this Peach Tree, then you will be ready to graduate.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at the Peach Tree. ¡°Heavens, I used to think it was just a Pantao Tree that produced Spirit Fruits¡ but now I realize, it seems each leaf of this Peach Tree is even more terrifying than those on the World Tree?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord was suddenly shocked. He had seen the Pantao Tree before but hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it. Now that a single leaf of the World Tree exhibited such a terrifying and overwhelming presence, he realized¡ Everyone else was also instantly amazed. If a single leaf from the World Tree could be considered invincible¡ What then of this luxuriant Pantao Tree with its countless leaves¡ what kind of existence could it be? They were simply dumbfounded! At this moment. The instant the green leaf of the World Tree repressed the Apocalypse Vortex! Within a radius of billions of li in the Void Ocean, over a hundred worlds trembled violently! In the Diling Realm, within a Sub-rudder, a group of strong cultivators suddenly changed their expressions drastically! Chapter 108 - 102 Fusion of Hundred Worlds 1 Chapter 108: Chapter 102 Fusion of Hundred Worlds 1 Trantor: 549690339???????????????? ¡ª In the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder. ¡°Hahaha, the Hundred Realms Fusion Array has been activated, and soon, ny-nine worlds will be fused together, and our sub-rudder¡¯s mission will be deemed aplete sess.¡± ¡°Yes, most importantly, we managed to obtain that Forbidden Artifact, which is truly an unexpected joy.¡± ¡°Based on our estimates, the storm vortex produced by the fusion of the ny-nine worlds should have alreadypletely destroyed the Xuantian Realm by now¡¡± The many elders in the sub-rudder were allughing joyously. Especially about that Forbidden Weapon, the very thought of it was worth looking forward to! Sect Leader Yang Yuantian also revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth; this time, it was truly like hitting two birds with one stone. The fusion of the Hundred Worlds was the goal, themand of the Immortal Monarch, and destroying the Xuantian Realm was just a byproduct. This bonus gift would be incredibly plentiful, so much so that he could already imagine that perhaps even the Immortal Monarch would bestow rewards upon them. ¡°Hurry up and finish it, 1 came here just to take that Forbidden Artifact away, and have no desire to waste time here.¡± Elder Song Chengzhou from the branch hall also spoke indifferently. Originally, his n was to send a Golden Immortal to extinguish the Xuantian Realm and im the Forbidden Artifact, but now, after much trouble, his patience was nearly exhausted. Hm? The crystal lit up, the person responsible for waiting in the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void must have already obtained the Forbidden Artifact!¡± Suddenly, Yang Yuantian stood up and took out the Transmission Crystal. They had arranged for two Heavenly Immortals to wait in the Void Ocean; once the Xuantian Realm was destroyed, they would return with the Forbidden Artifact. But just as he was about to read the message contained within the Transmission Crystal, suddenly, with a ¡°boom,¡± the crystal exploded on the spot. Yang Yuantian¡¯s figure shed aside in an instant, just narrowly avoiding being caught in the explosion! ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yang Yuantian¡¯s face instantly turned pale! ¡°Some terrifying force must havee through their Transmission Crystal and shattered yours!¡± Elder Song Chengzhou also immediately stood up, furrowing his brow! Transmission Crystals were directly linked to each other, but at times, this connection could also act as a medium for transmitting forces. But what kind of terrifying force could be transmitted through a Transmission Crystal? ¡°No -this isn¡¯t good, the Array is about to be destroyed!¡± Right at that moment, a cry of rm came from outside the sub-rudder. Instantly, everyone¡¯s face changed color, and they walked outside. Stepping out of the sub-rudder, they saw countless towering Array gs emitting myriad rays of light, but at that moment, the Array gs were shaking violently as if under the influence of something! -The Array here was the central node of the ny-nine fusion arrays, the highest ranked, and also the one with the most Array tes buried. This Array for the fusion of the Hundred Worlds was already in motion, and once operational, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would not be able to disturb it. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why do I feel the Array is unstable?¡± ¡°There must be a problem, is someone attacking the Array?¡± ¡°Impossible, even if a Taiyi Golden Immortal were toe, they wouldn¡¯t be able to disturb this Array!¡± Their faces were all filled with confused rm! At that moment. Outside the Diling Realm! A mysterious and terrifying force rebounded from tens of thousands of li away, within the Chaotic Flow Sea of the Void. It broke through the world¡¯s barriers ¡¯ and pierced directly above this mountain range. ¡°Boom, boom, boom ¡± The world¡¯s barriers turned into nothingness! The terrifying force was transmitted to the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder the very next instant! ¡°No¨C ¡± All in the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder had their faces turn ashen, feeling the breathing from the Void Ocean! ¡°Bang,bang, bang, bang ¡± The horrifying sound of explosions rang out one after another, as the many Array gs and Array tes buried by the Earth Spirit Realm Sub-rudder suddenlybusted into dust at that moment, and all the divine lights vanished along with them. ¡°What¡¯s going on? This is chaos from the Void¡¡± Someone eximed! ¡°What in the world happened?¡± ¡°Quick, run, if Chaos Flows erupt from the Void, even Heavenly Immortals will perish!¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote to run, the world¡¯s barriers are broken, this realm is likely to be destroyed!¡± Everyone spoke in panic. At this time, Song Chengzhou¡¯s pupils constricted, and he suddenly shouted, ¡°Come close to me!¡± He took out a silver jar! The silver jar suddenly erged, instantly enveloping them all. This could withstand the Chaos Flows of the Void! They immediately left thend and stood in the air. Everyone looked down, only to see that at this moment, the Diling Realm, as if drawn by some force, was actually approaching a certain direction within the Void Ocean! The speed was extremely fast! This force didn¡¯t destroy the Diling Realm, but nevertheless, the Diling Realm still suffered a great catastrophe, with mountain ranges copsing one after another, the terrifying aura sweeping through, and countless creatures dying in bloodshed! ¡°It¡¯s over, what exactly happened? Why do I feel like some mighty force is pulling a whole world?¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡¡± ¡°The Array te has beenpletely destroyed, and now all the realms are in operation, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s going to be a big problem.¡± Everyone began to speak one after another. ¡°Look¡ The Apocalypse Vortex is gone¡ Is that world in front of us, the Xuantian Realm?¡± At this moment, Elder Sangduo suddenly eximed in shock! At this moment, the barriers of the Diling Realm had beenpletely destroyed, so they could clearly see the scenes within the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void. In the Chaos Flow Sea, the terrifying Apocalypse Vortex had vanished as if it had never existed before. And in the direction they were nearing, a world shrouded in white mist quietly stood there. ¡°That is the Xuantian Realm!¡± Sect Leader Yang Yuantian gasped sharply, saying, ¡°This means, is the Xuantian Realm attracting the Earth Spirit Realm? It¡ it intends to devour other worlds?¡± His face looked extremely ugly! You must know that the Earth Spirit Realm was in their hands. And this time, with the integration of the Hundred Worlds, ording to their design, the Earth Spirit Realm should have been at the center of the integration. After the integration, the Earth Spirit Realm would be the dominant force in the new megaworld! This way, it would be convenient for them to control the entire megaworld. But now, the Earth Spirit Realm was being attracted by another world, to be part of it? This was too terrifying. Impossible, only higher-level worlds can forcibly absorb lower-level worlds¡¡± ¡°The status of the Xuantian Realm is clearly lower than that of the Earth Spirit Realm¡ How is this possible?¡± ¡°Could it be, could it be that the Xuantian Realm really has something to do with the legendary First Heavenly Realm?¡± for a moment, they all eximed in surprise! ¡°It¡¯s not just the Xuantian Realm!¡± At this time, Elder Song Chengzhou spoke sternly, saying, ¡°The ny-nine worlds we control¡ are all converging towards the Xuantian Realm!¡± He pointed towards a more distant ce in the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void, saying, ¡°Those!¡± People hurriedly looked, sure enough, in the Chaos Flow Sea of the Void, worlds floating from who knows how far drifted closer, initially tiny like a grain of sand in the void, but rapidly growing immense and unbounded those were worlds¡ At this moment, those worlds were all converging towards the Xuantian Realm! The Array they had set up waspletely ineffective now! In the Void Ocean. Between worlds, there¡¯s often an immeasurable distance; even for powerful cultivators, it usually takes a long time to travel back and forth between two worlds. But now, around the Xuantian Realm, it suddenly became extremely crowded! One by one, floating worlds were approaching the Xuantian Realm. Finally, very soon, a world collided with the Xuantian Realm with a thunderous sh! ¡°Boom???? ¡± Loud noises erupted, the sound of tes merging and barriers uniting! That world had be part of the Xuantian Realm! After the first world merged with the Xuantian Realm, the second world quickly followed suit! ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Boom boom!¡± The third! The fourth! One after another, the worlds all became part of the Xuantian Realm. If previously, seen from a distance, the Xuantian Realm was like an egg, now the Xuantian Realm had turned into a monstrous watermelon. In the Earth Spirit Realm! ¡°No!¡± ¡°The Earth Spirit Realm is about to be absorbed by the Xuantian Realm!¡± ¡°How is this possible¡¡± A group of Heavenly Immortals and even Golden Immortals were extremely shocked at this moment, but they were powerless to stop this mighty force! ¡°Boom???? ¡± With a tremendous roar, the independence of the Earth Spirit Realm disappeared, and it became part of the Xuantian Realm! The integration of the Hundred Worlds had beenpleted. Unfortunately, the center and the dominion turned out to be the Xuantian Realm! Chapter 109 - 103: A New Great World 1 Chapter 109: Chapter 103: A New Great World 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Xuantian Realm. Every living creature was shocked to the extreme. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Why do I feel like the Xuantian Realm was just hit by something?¡± ¡°Could it be that the storm from beyond the domain hasn¡¯t ceased yet? But, the World Tree clearly suppressed the Apocalypse Vortex¡¡± All living creatures were in shock. But soon, within the Sky Domain, the golden silhouette of the World Tree appeared again. Millions of runes circted. It was fortifying the new territories! At the same time, the World Tree was emanating golden light from its origin, illuminating thend. ¡°What¡ Xuantian Realm has fused with a hundred worlds?¡± ¡°Just now?¡± ¡°The new great world has been born, and the Xuantian Realm is the center of this world¡ The new world is several hundred timesrger than the original Xuantian Realm?¡± Wherever the golden light shone, all cultivators felt as if they were blessed by fortune. They had insight into what had happened. World fusion. A new great world had emerged. For a moment, everyone was astounded. ¡°Is this still the Xuantian Realm?¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying, what exactly happened¡ Has the status of the Xuantian Realm now reached the Earth Character Level?¡± ¡°All of this must be rted to that great storm!¡± People around the world were extremely shocked. Some even found it hard to ept! Southern Territory. In a vige courtyard. Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others had also learned of the recent events. ¡°Good heavens, the fusion of the Hundred Worlds, what is happening?¡± ¡°The new great world¡ it¡¯s unimaginable.¡± They murmured incessantly. Devil Monarch Gong Ya¡¯s eyes showed a contemtive look as she said, ¡°I understand now, the Apocalypse Vortex just now was no coincidence.¡± ¡± Someone is driving the fusion of the Hundred Worlds. That vortex was the storm produced by the simultaneous operation of over a hundred worlds.¡± Hearing this, the crowd was even more shocked. Someone was driving the fusion of worlds? ¡°That¡¯s right, now it all makes sense. Last time someone was plotting against the World Tree of the Xuantian Realm, did they want to include it in the fusion?¡± ¡°This is a major conspiracy!¡± ¡°The one behind this has grand ambitions¡ but, Senior Li has seen through everything.¡± All of a sudden, everyone came to a realization. Gong Ya revealed the mastermind¡¯s conspiracy in just a few words. Once they understood, they regarded Li Fan with even more reverence. This is just too terrifying! ¡°Indeed, there is a reason why Senior Li chose to live in seclusion in the Xuantian Realm; he is ying a grand strategy¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured with a realization. ¡°In this grand game, we don¡¯t even qualify as bystanders. While we were still oblivious, Senior Li had alreadypleted everything¡¡± Dugu Chenlu¡¯s expression wasplex, overwhelmed with shock. Demon Marshal Gong Ya muttered, ¡°Who is driving the fusion of the Lower World? Their ambitions are too great¡ Clearly, there is another yer.¡± At this thought, she couldn¡¯t help but look at Li Fan withplexity. This is a Lord of the Forbidden Zone, who, with a casual act of nting a tree, tied the fate of hundreds of worlds! The honor and disgrace of all living beings below the heavensy within the thoughts of such beings. And at this moment. In the Diling Realm. The continents originally belonging to the Diling Realm were now bordering othernds. This world¡¯s territory spanned ten thousand li. ¡°The Diling Realm¡ has been integrated and lost its autonomy; the current Diling Realm can only be considered a state within the new world¡ Earth Spirit State?¡± An elder murmured, eyes full of incredulity. ¡°Elder¡ what do we do now?¡± And Yang Yuantian was now gripped by a sense of fear. This was too terrifying; the boundaries-fusing array had actually failed, the Apocalypse Vortex had vanished without a trace, and over a hundred worlds had been ¡°taken¡± by the Xuantian Realm, bing a part of it. If the sub-rudder found out, if the Sect Gate found out¡ perhaps every single one of them would die! Song Chengzhou, at this moment, stood in the air, gazing down upon the boundlessnd with an extremely somber face, yet he still spoke gravely, ¡°Your concerns might indeed be real.¡± ¡°This realm must be rted to the legendary First Heavenly Realm, and, without a doubt, the Forbidden Artifact must also exist.¡± ¡°That is the true reason for the failure of the Merging Realm Array!¡± The expressions of everyone present turned grave. ¡°Now, we have only one path left.¡± ¡°To go to the Xuantian Realm, to take control of the Xuantian Realm!¡± ¡°Only by doing so can we answer to the Sub-rudder, to the Sect Gate.¡± Song Chengzhou spoke. But the crowd exchanged looks of uncertainty. ¡°Elder, from what we see now, there may well be unfathomable and powerful beings in the Xuantian Realm¡¡± Someone hesitated. ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Song Chengzhou said, ¡°The ability to assimte hundreds of worlds only proves that the Xuantian Realm is very special, and does not prove that there are any experts hidden within the Xuantian Realm.¡± ¡°On the contrary, I see this as an opportunity!¡± ¡°If we can control a part of the First Heavenly Realm on behalf of our Sect Gate, for our Immortal Monarch, he will certainly be overjoyed!¡± As he extended his hand, a cold smirk appeared on his face, ¡°And besides, with this object at hand, even if we are no match, no one can harm us.¡± It was a silver jar. Upon seeing this, everybody was startled. Just now, it was this jar that safeguarded all of them from harm. ¡°This object, it¡¯s rted to that Holy Artifact¡¡± ¡°Is it a replica of that Holy Artifact?¡± ¡°It feels even more terrifying than the ck jar used to capture the World Tree.¡± Song Chengzhou smiled coldly, ¡°This object contains aw from the Holy Artifact!¡± Laws! Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply shaken. ¡°With this item at our side, even if a Forbidden Artifact really exists, we needn¡¯t fear it.¡± ¡°Right!¡± ¡°An artifact that can contain aw from a Holy Artifact, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would be helpless against it!¡± This silver jar had given everyone an unprecedented level of confidence. ¡°Follow me! To the Xuantian Realm, to ughter the beings of an entire realm, to take control of the World Tree!¡± Song Chengzhou swung his arm grandly. Suddenly, countless experts at the scene vanished from their original locations. Shortly after. Xuantian Realm. Today, perhaps it would be more fitting to describe it as the Xuan Tianzhou for the entire new world. A group of people appeared in this expanse of sky. ¡°Elder Sangduo, you have been here before; where is this forbidden ce you spoke of?¡± Yang Yuantian asked. Sangduo hesitated for a moment, but still clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Follow me!¡± Under his lead, it wasn¡¯t long before a group of strong figures had already arrived outside the Cangli Mountain Range, just before a small mountain vige. In front of them, a in and tranquil small mountain vige came into everyone¡¯s view. ¡°What is this ce? Why do I feel as if I¡¯m indeed facing a forbiddennd?¡± A Heavenly Immortal-level powerhouse eximed in shock. ¡°It¡¯s suffocating, this ce¡ it¡¯s extremely terrifying.¡± A Golden Immortal who hade with Song Chengzhou murmured softly. Contrastingly, some Profound Immortals didn¡¯t feel much at all! ¡°Elder Song, I indeed feel a very strange presence here¡ as if I¡¯m facing a fearsome world¡ are you sure we should attack?¡± Even Yang Yuantian now found it terrifying. He was somewhat inclined to retreat. In Elder Song Chengzhou¡¯s eyes emerged a grave look, ¡°We cannot retreat.¡± ¡°If this truly is a forbidden area¡ we must explore it and understand clearly, otherwise it will affect the Immortal Monarch¡¯s grand scheme!¡± Murmuring to himself, he took a step forward and roared, ¡°Senluo Holy Sect, we are here to issue a challenge!¡± ¡°Everyone in the vige,e out, or not a single one of you will be spared today!¡± He shouted furiously! The shout echoed through the small mountain vige! Chapter 110 - 104: Challenge Our Village?_i Chapter 110: Chapter 104: Challenge Our Vige?_i Trantor: 549690339 | In a small mountain vige. Elder Zhao was lying on a Taishi Chair at the entrance of the vige, sunbathing. He had already dozed off. Suddenly, he heard someone calling out from outside. It immediately woke him up. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Second Elder rubbed his eyes, stood up, and looked towards the vige entrance. To his surprise, there were dozens of people standing outside! The neers wore various expressions and clothes, and in their hands, they held strange items. Some held swords, some mirrors, and others shields¡ The one in front was actually holding a canister? What was this situation? Second Elder was confused. At this moment. The crowd from the Senluo Holy Sect had also noticed Second Elder. In an instant, everyone¡¯s expression turned solemn, their hearts filled with immense tension! ¡°A living being¡ within the forbidden area?¡± ¡°This is too horrifying, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Will hee out? ording to legend, if a living creature exits the forbidden area, it would bring about a great cmity¡¡± The crowd was somewhat uneasy! At that moment, Sangduo was also startled and quickly stepped forward to report, ¡°Elder Song, Helmsman Yang, this is the terrifying creature I saw earlier!¡± He was full of dread. Hearing this, Yang Yuantian and Song Chengzhou both looked solemn. Song Chengzhou scrutinized the old man at the entrance, feeling uneasy, especially when he saw the cane in the elder¡¯s hand! It was a Dragon Head Cane, carved from an unknown wood. But at this moment, even from afar, he still felt an indescribable terrifying aura. It was as if he was facing a Giant Dragon! ¡°A Giant Dragon cane¡ Could this be a forbidden area of the Dragon n? No¡ that¡¯s not possible!¡± His heart was trembling, but he still persisted to go forward, clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Song Chengzhou of the Senluo Holy Sect, I havee to challenge you!¡± ¡°Dare youe out to fight?!¡± He too was taking a risk. At the same time, he tightly held onto the Silver Can in his hand. If things went south, he was prepared to turn around and flee at once! Meanwhile, at the vige entrance. Elder Zhao was also shocked when he heard this. He spotted Sangduo. ¡°That fellow who was nning to steal from the vige? He even dared to bring people here?¡± Elder Zhao was instantly furious. The guy who previously nned to steal from the vige had now actually brought people for retaliation! He picked up his cane, pointed at Sangduo, and said, ¡°Blind fool, you bring people to challenge our vige? Just you wait!¡± After speaking, Elder Zhao turned and left. He had to go call people, summon all the able-bodied men in the vige. A group fight? The vige was not afraid! At the same time, the first person he thought of was Li Fan. He had to inform Little Li about such matters! Elder Zhao turned and walked away. He didn¡¯t see that as he pointed his cane at Sangduo and turned around, in that instant, Sangduo in the crowd suddenly let out a miserable cry! He exploded into a mist of blood! Not even remains were left! In an instant, everyone from the Senluo Holy Sect was shocked! ¡°How is this possible, Sangduo was a Heavenly Immortal proficient in the Law of Space, and he died just by being pointed at with a cane? Without any warning?!¡± A Heavenly Immortal eximed, trembling! ¡°Heaven¡ that cane¡ Could it actually be one of the legendary Forbidden Artifacts?! It must be!¡± An elder spoke with conviction, though his voice was trembling! ¡°If he had not just pointed at Sangduo alone, but swept us with that terrifying item, we would probably all be dead¡¡± Yang Yuantian gasped sharply and looked at Song Chengzhou, saying,¡¯ Elder Song¡ are you confident you can defeat him?!¡± He was afraid. A Heavenly Immortal had died so easily. Song Chengzhou¡¯s brow twitched continuously as he watched Elder Zhao¡¯s retreating figure. Dreadful, extremely dreadful! He even felt that the Dragon Head Cane could easily kill him too! At that moment, he also couldn¡¯t help but think of retreating. After all, life was the most important thing. He thought about fleeing. But then he suddenly had another thought and said, ¡°No, that¡¯s not right!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Elder Song?¡± Yang Yuantian quickly inquired. Song Chengzhou said, ¡°I suspect the other party is just bluffing!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with confusion. ¡°Think about it, if he could easily kill Sangduo, would it be hard to kill us?¡± ¡°That Dragon Head Cane in his hand is most likely a Forbidden Artifact. With that Artifact, I might not even be able to stand against it! ¡°But why did he turn around and leave? Think about it, why is that? Upon hearing that, everyone fell into contemtion. ¡°Yes¡ he could have wiped us all out¡¡± ¡°Could it be that while he owns a terrifying Forbidden Artifact, he can only use it once or twice?¡± ¡°It must be so! Didn¡¯t you see his unsteady steps? It shows that killing Elder Sangduo has already hurt his vital energy!¡± The crowd¡¯s conversation became more and more reasonable as they spoke. ¡°He is unable to wield that item; he¡¯s only putting on airs to intimidate us- that¡¯sthe truth!¡± Song Chengzhou became more confident and said, ¡°If we really let him scare us off, we would miss such a treasure, and even more so, we¡¯d lose control over the new world!¡± ¡°Elder Song truly is wise and insightful!¡± Yang Yuantian also spoke in admiration, ¡°What should we do now? Song Chengzhou revealed a cold smile and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll press in, force him toe out!¡± Elder Zhao was a bit anxious. After all, there were dozens of people with the opposition. Before long, he finally arrived in front of Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Little Li, Little Li, hurry up and open the door.¡± He called out. Suddenly, the courtyard door opened, Nan Feng looked at Elder Zhao with confusion and said, ¡°Old man, are you looking for my teacher?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Elder Zhao walked in, looked at Li Fan, and said, ¡°Little Li, trouble is brewing, there are people outside looking for trouble!¡¯ Li Fan was sitting with the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others drinking tea, at this moment they all turned their heads upon hearing this. ¡°Looking for trouble? Who has gone mad enough toe here seeking death?¡± Everyone was somewhat puzzled. Li Fan then smiled and said, ¡°Second Elder, what happened? Elder Zhao said, ¡°Little Li, you don¡¯t know, today at the entrance of the vige, there was a thief sneaking around trying to get into the vige, but I stopped him and chased him away. Now, he¡¯s actuallye back with people for revenge!¡± He spoke quite indignantly, ¡°They even imed they¡¯d ughter our entire vige! We simply cannot let these people behave recklessly in our vige! Li Fan was also surprised upon hearing this. This little mountain vige was extremely remote, yet someone came to steal? But following that, he also felt anger. Damn it, these lowly thieves, truly too bold, too arrogant! To retaliate after failing to steal, they even threatened to annihte the vige? This is intolerable, absolutely intolerable. ¡°Second Elder, what¡¯s the background of those people? How many are there?¡± Li Fan asked. Elder Zhao said, ¡°They im to be from some ¡®Senluo Holy Sect,¡¯ probably some underworld gang. As for their numbers, there aren¡¯t many fit young men, mostly old men!¡± Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others all showed puzzled expressions. ¡°Senluo Holy Sect? Never heard of it. Could it be some sect from another world that hase so quickly to pick a fight?¡± ¡°It might be true. Now that the new world has yet to be established, naturally there are those who want to seize resources!¡± They spoke one after another. However, upon hearing this, the Gong Ya Demon Marshal was shocked beyond belief, staring incredulously at Second Elder! ¡°The Senluo Holy Sect¡ it¡¯s actually the Senluo Holy Sect!¡± She subconsciously looked at Xinning! In Xinning¡¯srge eyes, a shadow also flickered at this moment. The Senluo Holy Sect was not widely known in the Lower World, but it was highly renowned in the Immortal Domain! This was an¡ Immortal-level power! Its founder was one of the most powerful Immortal Monarchs in the Immortal Domain ¡ª the Senluo Immortal Monarch! And the Senluo Immortal Monarch¡ had once fought a great battle with the Nine Holy Demon Monarch. Enemies often do cross paths¡ At the same time, Gong Ya was also full of doubts. A person of the Senluo Immortal Monarch came to the Lower World? Could it be that this integration of the Hundred Worlds was also their doing? What exactly were they plotting? Even if a hundred Lower Worlds were integrated, it wouldn¡¯t be worth mentioning to an Immortal Monarch! After hearing what Elder Zhao said, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help butugh. Damn it, it seemed like a bunch of nobodies, even old men mingling in the underworld? ¡°Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, QingChen, Dugu Yuqing!¡± He called out all four of his male disciples in one breath and said, ¡°This time it¡¯s your turn to engage in a group fight. I don¡¯t want to see such people causing trouble in front of the vige anymore!¡± Since they were all a bunch of old men, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to step in and would let his four disciples scare them off. Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan and the others were visibly excited and then very pleased. The teacher¡¯s instruction was clearly meant for them to hone their skills. ¡°As youmand!¡± Long Zixuan and the others rubbed their hands eagerly and were about to set off. ¡°Don¡¯t rush,¡± Li Fan said calmly, ¡°If you¡¯re going to fight, look the part, grab your weapons.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan turned and went into the kitchen to carry out the zing Staff. He had used this staff before and knew full well how terrifying this staff was; a single swing could obliterate a True Immortal! Moreover, he knew that obliterating a True Immortal barely scratched the surface of its true power. ¡°It¡¯s my turn to use it this time!¡± Lu Rang, eager and excited, snatched up a sickle! It was usually used for cutting weeds, and it was something he could barely handlepared to that fearsome hoe. Dugu Yuqing held his calligraphy brush, unafraid. Qing Chen smiled slightly, gripping his broom tightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go, the four of us brothers will go see for ourselves today!¡± They then strode out of the courtyard. ¡°Senior Li, shall we go take a look as well? We might be able to lend a hand,¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke up at the right moment. Li Fan nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine.¡± Immediately, Dugu Chenlu, Saint Teacher Kongming, and others also left. ¡°Big Brother¡ could I go out to have a look?¡± Xinning also blinked, wanting to step out. She was an adversary of the Senluo Immortal Monarch and wanted to gauge the depth of the people sent, to surmise some information to prepare ordingly. But Li Fan shook his head and said, ¡°The adults are fighting, you, a child, should not get involved. Come on, let¡¯s continue reading poetry.¡± ¡°Read after me, ¡®When hoeing weeds at noonday¡''¡± Xinning reluctantly followed, ¡°When hoeing weeds at noonday¡¡± Meanwhile. Outside the little mountain vige. Song Chengzhou led the people, steadily approaching the mountain vige! They were about to enter the range of the mountain vige! Even though Song Chengzhou had imed that the opposition was merely bluffing, everyone¡¯s faces were still a bit tense. After all, this ce was too extraordinary, almost like forbidden ground. ¡°They¡¯re just ahead!¡± At that moment, Elder Zhao, leading Long Zixuan and the others, came walking towards Song Chengzhou and his group on the main road through the vige! Chapter 111 - 105 The Terrifying Forbidden Area Creaturesi Chapter 111: Chapter 105 The Terrifying Forbidden Area Creaturesi Trantor: 549690339 At this moment, in the sky above the Xuantian Realm, terrifying fluctuations were transmitted. It was as if something tried to drill in from another world! This kind of fluctuation was particrly evident thest time the Ten Great Profound Immortals descended to the Lower World. But this time, perhaps due to the new world fusion taking shape, and the World Tree bing immensely powerful, it didn¡¯t cause as much of a stir as before. Above the Sky Domain, the golden chains of order, like stout iron chains, were far superior to those from the time the Ten Great Profound Immortals crossed worlds. Strangely, this time the golden chains of order didn¡¯t impede the act of crossing worlds. Soon, a rift appeared in the dimensional barrier! The Immortal Domain¡¯s wild aura surged in, and then, terror-inducing figures emerged. The leader was a Golden Armored General! In his hand, he held a golden long spear, exuding an extremely terrifying aura! This was a Heavenly Immortal on the verge of breaking into the Golden Immortal Realm! One after another, more figures appeared. There was an old man holding an erhu. There was a veiled beauty. And there were oddly dressed Taoists! Exactly twenty-one Heavenly Immortals hade! The figures walking out of the rift in the barrier weren¡¯t finished yet; following them, many more emerged! Dozens more appeared, all extremely powerful Profound Immortals! Finally, when they lined up in formation in the Sky Domain, thest four finally stepped out. The Master of Tingyu Pavilion, an old man with only whites in his eyes, holding an erhu! The Sect Master of Qingyue Sect, with an elegant figure and veiled face, exuding an extraordinary aura. The Sect Master of Taihua Sect, Purple Robe Taoist, with a wild aura! And Ao Wushuang, the Dominant Lord, who arrived with his hands behind his back, his powerful presence enveloping the entire Sky Domain! A Golden Immortal! He was a Golden Immortal of his era! ¡°Hmm? Something feels off about this realm¡¡± Suddenly, the Master of Tingyu Pavilion said, ¡°Why is it so vast? It doesn¡¯t resemble the territory of any Mysterious Character Realm at all!¡± ¡°Yes, and also, when we crossed worlds just now, the Primitive Realm Stone spent very little, which suggests that thisnd isn¡¯t very resistant to our entry?¡± The Sect Master of Qingyue Sect wondered. ¡°Not just that! Everyone, do you feel your aura being suppressed? The Heaven¡¯s Will de also hasn¡¯t struck for a long time¡ This proves that the level of this realm can totally amodate us!¡± The Purple Robe Taoist¡¯s eyes shed with a gloomy light, saying, ¡°This realm¡ it¡¯s very strange, we might need to be cautious!¡± Ao Wushuang stood with aloof contempt, looking down upon the world with a cold smile on his lips, said, ¡°What¡¯s there to fear in such a Lower World? With all of us emerging, we can annihte any existences that stand in our way!¡± ¡°Follow me to the Southern Territory!¡± He took a step out. In an instant, a group of people followed him as they departed, and in the next moment, they appeared in the sky of the Southern Territory of Xuantian Realm. ¡°Over there!¡± The Master of Tingyu Pavilion suddenly pointed in a direction! It was toward the Cangli Mountain Range! ¡ªHis blinded eyes weren¡¯t truly sightless; he had cultivated a terrifying Eye Technique, which granted him a remarkable power of perception, allowing him to immediately spot the crux of the matter. For a moment, Ao Wushuang and the other powerful entities all looked in that direction! Their gazes pierced through the clouds, observing the scene in that ce. It was a small mountain vige. Though the vige looked ordinary and peaceful, it made all of them turn pale. ¡°That ce is strange¡ It gives me an unfathomable feeling!¡± The Sect Master of Qingyue Sect¡¯s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. ¡°It¡¯s not simple¡¡± Even the wild Purple Robe Taoist of the Taihua Sect was pondering deeply. And the Lord of Saint Cloud City, Ao Wushuang, also sucked in a breath of cold air, said, ¡°In front of that small mountain vige¡ there¡¯s the aura of Golden Immortals¡ not just one!¡± At this, the many strong beings behind him all changed their expressions drastically. All eyes were fixed on the area in front of the small vige! At the same time, in front of the vige, as the voice of Elder Zhao from inside the vige reached them, Song Chengzhou, Yang Yuantian, and the others approaching the hamlet were startled and came to an abrupt stop! All of them looked forward, only to see Elder Zhao, leading a group of people, walking their way! It was none other than Li Fan¡¯s four disciples, as well as Dugu Chenlu and others. Elder Zhao led the group to the entrance of the vige and said, ¡°It¡¯s these fellows who want to challenge our vige, even boasting that they would massacre us!¡± He looked angrily towards Song Chengzhou, the leader, and said, ¡°Where¡¯s the old man who brought you here? Where did he run off to?¡± Hearing Elder Zhao¡¯s interrogation, Song Chengzhou and the others were immediately at a loss for words. Damn, casually pointed at by someone, and blown to bits without trace, you still have the nerve to ask? This was clearly toying with them. However, they didn¡¯t dare to react. Seeing the group of people Elder Zhao had brought with him, they were all somewhat intimidated. ¡°Heavens, are there so many living beings surviving within this forbiddennd?¡± ¡°Even in the Immortal Domain, when a single living being emerges from a forbidden area, it could create a huge uproar, but now so many have emerged?¡± ¡°This is too terrifying¡¡± A group of Profound Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even Golden Immortals, were now somewhat trembling with fear! ¡°Elder Song, what¡ what should we do?¡± Yang Yuantian was also scared, looking at Song Chengzhou. Song Chengzhou himself was also hesitating. He had thought that within this horrifying vige, there was only Elder Zhao. It never urred to him that there would be other creatures! What kind of beings were these creatures? He was afraid. But with things havinge this far, he clenched his teeth, thinking that he had a replica of a sacred object in hand, containing one principle of the sacred artifact; even if he couldn¡¯t win, he could still escape! Chapter 112 - 105 The Terrifying Forbidden Area Creatures_2 Chapter 112: Chapter 105 The Terrifying Forbidden Area Creatures_2 Trantor: 549690339 | He immediately said, ¡°Senluo Holy Land, seeking battle!¡± ¡°Who dares to fight!¡± He roared in fury! No matter what, he had to test the depths of these holy spirits before him! And hearing his roar, Lu Rang walked out from the small mountain vige, sneering, ¡°Oh? Seeking battle, I really want to see, what you all count for, daring toe challenge us!¡± He brazenly pointed at Song Chengzhou and the others, saying, ¡°Come on then, whoever wants to die, step up and try!¡± Upon hearing this, a sh of anger swept across the faces of Song Chengzhou and hispanions. The youth before them was simply too overbearing! ¡°Luo Ming, you go!¡± Song Chengzhou looked towards a middle-aged man nearby! Luo Ming was a peak realm Heavenly Immortal! He wanted to test Lu Rang¡¯s depth. Luo Ming immediately stepped forward, holding a long spear forged from divine metal in his hand, disying an extraordinary presence, staring at Lu Rang, he said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯m here to kill you!¡± With a step forward, he shook the long spear! The presence was exceedingly extraordinary, and the terrifying Immortal Spirit Qi surged out, transforming into numerous fearsome mythical beasts, pouncing towards Lu Rang to kill him! ¡°Heavens, what kind of realm is this? I feel it has surpassed a Profound Immortal!¡± ¡°Heavenly Immortal!¡± Dugu Chenlu and the others were extremely shocked! But Lu Rang didn¡¯t care at all. Facing the terrifying attack, he took the sickle hanging at his waist and suddenly swung it as if cutting grass! With just one swing, the long spear¡¯s illusion stopped abruptly! Luo Ming, a peak Heavenly Immortal, suddenly froze in ce. His head directly fell to the ground! Dead! Seeing this, Song Chengzhou and the others felt their hearts pound dramatically, nearly turning around and fleeing in fear! ¡°What is that artifact?! More terrifying than the Dragon Head Cane?!¡± ¡°Completely unforeseeable, I didn¡¯t even feel the slightest fluctuation of Immortal Spirit Qi!¡± ¡°Another Forbidden Artifact?¡± They were all shocked! How could they continue to fight? Two Forbidden Artifacts in a small mountain vige! Moreover, the youth before them was not in the depleted condition of the elder, it seemed like he could swing the sickle dozens more times without any issue! ¡¯ For a moment, everyone instinctively thought about retreating. ¡°Who else?¡± Lu Rang spoke confidently, bursting with self-assurance, ¡°Who else?!¡± ¡°Otherwise, how about you all attack together?¡± He spoke directly, all the while caressing the sickle in his hand. Seeing this, the people of Senluo Holy Land felt their legs go weak. Attack together? This man decapitated a Heavenly Immortal as easily as cutting leeks! ¡°Lu Rang, enough, it¡¯s my turn!¡± At this time, Dugu Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward, truly afraid Lu Rang would scare everyone off; looking at the enemy, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t be frightened, I¡¯m not that bloody, not that bloody!¡± ¡°Who wille forward?¡± He wore an expectant look on his face. On the side of Senluo Holy Land, everyone exchanged nces, each quietly swallowing. Another Forbidden Zone creature hase! Yang Yuantian also said nervously, ¡°Elder, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re no match¡¡± But at this moment, Song Chengzhou clenched his teeth and said, ¡°This is a great opportunity to probe the depth of a Forbidden Zone creature! ¡± ¡°Chen Gou, you go!¡± This time, he sent a Golden Immortal! Chen Gou stepped out, his Golden Immortal-level cultivation fully erupting! For a moment, the Sky Domain trembled, and space shuddered-this was the highest level of power in this world! His entire being disyed a terrifying golden roc form, his strongest technique! He roared, bringing a dreadfully powerful storm upon Dugu Yuqing! The terrifying aura caused Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hair to dance wildly! ¡°Son, be careful, the opponent is extremely terrifying!¡± Dugu Chenlu¡¯s expression changed dramatically, sensing that this being was even more dreadful than the previous Heavenly Immortal! But Dugu Yuqing was fearless. In his heart, he imagined Li Fan¡¯s Heaven Opening Sword. He lifted his pen and drew it across the air¡ª At this moment, it was as if Chaos had parted at the beginning of time, as if space had ceased to exist! ¡°All¡ª¡± The Golden Immortal Chen Gou let out a miserable scream; his body unexpectedly vanished into thin air! The next moment, hepletely disappeared, with no one knowing where he went! Silence fell. The field fell into silence. A Golden Immortal, arguably the peakbat force of the Lower World¡ Just ended like that? Ended? Many from Senluo Holy Land were dumbstruck, dead silent. And Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were equally shocked, Dugu Chenlu was especially stunned. Wasn¡¯t this too terrifying? With one stroke of Dugu Yuqing¡¯s pen, he was ecstatic! Just now, under the oppression of that Golden Immortal, his understanding of the Heaven Opening Sword actually deepened by a fraction. ¡°Come on, who else,e on, I¡¯m very gentle!¡± He looked at the people from the Senluo Holy Land with eyes that practically shone, as if he was looking at his own family! At this moment, the many experts from the Senluo Holy Land, however, wanted to turn around and leave. What the hell, gentle? The guy with the sickle at least leaves a corpse when he kills people! You? Damn, you made people disappearpletely,pletely disappear, and you¡¯re still gentle?! Their hearts were trembling. Meanwhile, over at the small vige, there was a change of personnel. Long Zixuan stepped forward with a staff and asked, ¡°Who dares to fight?¡± Who dares to fight? At this moment, everyone¡¯s bodies tensed up, and nobody dared to move! ¡°Elder, let¡¯s retreat¡ retreat!¡± Yang Yuantian almost cried out, the creatures that emerged from the forbidden zone, one more terrifying than the next. He could see that these beings didn¡¯t care about them at all, they were purely using them for sport. Haven¡¯t you seen how eager those forbidden creatures are, each scrambling to be the first? But at the moment, Song Chengzhou was staring foolishly at the pen in Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hand! ¡°Is that the legendary pen¡ the divine pen that once made even the Immortal Monarchs bleed, known as the one that could create an Immortal Domain with a single stroke¡¡± He murmured to himself, then suddenly stepped forward, almost in a frenzy. He shouted loudly, ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± ¡°Today, everything here is my opportunity. That pen, I must obtain!¡± He waspletely captivated by that pen in his heart! ¡°Very well.¡± Long Zixuan calmly said, ¡°Please!¡± Song Chengzhou took a deep breath and, in the next moment, suddenly erupted with a terrifying might. He poured all his power into the silver jar in his hands. The silver jar suddenly covered the sky and blotted out the sun, like a piece of Sky Domain, suppressing everything! A terrify Great Dao Law also pervaded it, as if it wanted to envelop the whole vige! ¡ªHe intended to capture all the people before him! After capturing them, he would slowly take their magical treasures! This was his n! Moreover, he was very confident because the silver jar containedws from a sacred item of the Senluo Holy Land! The terrifying silver jar, with itsws roaring, shook the entire Southern Territory. It was a Supreme Magical Treasure! In front of the vige, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others could hardly stand, almost copsing to the ground! It was too terrifying! But Long Zixuan was exceedingly calm as he gripped the zing Staff! In an instant, the Dragon Soul roared within him, and the spirits of ancient Giant Dragons swirled around him. He raised the zing Staff and then, with a swing, brought it down! As the zing Staff came down, everyone in a daze saw the world annihting, the Myriad Dao prostrating, witnessing the domineering presence of the Supreme! In an instant, thews within the silver jar turned into nothingness, and the jar itself, made of sacred silver, directly shattered! ¡°No ¡± Song Chengzhou¡¯s face changed dramatically. He clearly saw that the staff contained millions of terrifyingws! His silver jar hadws, and it was already known as a Supreme Magical Treasure. But now this staff¡ Contained millions of terrifying and Supremews! ¡°I know now, it¡¯s that staff, it¡¯s that staff!¡± He cried out, his pupils dting! The next moment, he waspletely annihted! Gone without a trace! Not a drop of blood left, soul and bodypletely destroyed! And behind him, more than a dozen Profound Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, who were too slow to dodge, turned into mist of blood. Seeing this scene, everyone from the Senluo Holy Land trembled, thoroughly trembling. What kind of horror was that? ¡°Run¡ run!¡± ¡°Escape, let¡¯s escape!¡± ¡°Run for your lives¡¡± At that moment, everyone turned and ran! Now, they werepletely desperate. The creatures from the forbidden zone could shatter a Supreme Magical Treasure that containedws with a single swing of their staff; even the nearly Taiyi Golden Immortal-level elder was left without a trace. If they didn¡¯t run, were they waiting to die? Yang Yuantian was extremely fast, ready to leave the scene. And at that moment, before the small vige, Qing Chen suddenly stepped forward. He smiled slightly, transcendent and detached: We return to purity as we came, why must you noble guests flee?¡± With a gentle sweep of the broom in his hand. Threads of terrifyingw swept through like a whirlwind. Wherever it passed, Profound Immortals exploded, Heavenly Immortals vanished, and Golden Immortals died screaming! ¡°Boom, boom, boom, boom? ¡± Blood mist burst forth in session! Everyone from the Senluo Holy Land, the four Golden Immortals, several hundred thousand Heavenly Immortals, and countless Profound Immortals¡ At this moment, all were annihted! Chapter 113 - 106 Heavenly Realml l Chapter 113: Chapter 106 Heavenly Realml l Trantor: 549690339 | Above the Sky Domain of the Southern Territory. The army of cultivators from Saint Cloud City of the Immortal Realm was arrayed there. Upon spotting the existence of those Golden Immortal-level beings in front of the small mountain vige, every single one of them was utterly shocked. In such a small Xuantian Realm, how could there possibly be so many Golden Immortals? Moreover, Ao Wushuang sensed that among them, there was an elder who was almost surpassing the Golden Immortal Realm to be a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Extremely terrifying. Therefore, they all didn¡¯t dare to approach for the time being, watching from afar. When they saw that these people were hostile toward the people of the small mountain vige, they suddenly realized. So these powerhouses were also here to cause trouble for the little mountain vige? ¡°It must be for the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune,¡± they conjectured. ¡°Right, these people must havee from somece in the Immortal Domain and surely received the same news.¡± ¡°This is not good, the opponent¡¯s strength seems to be stronger than ours.¡± Their spections were endless. However, the scene that followed left them astounded. A Heavenly Immortal was effortlessly beheaded by a sickle! A Golden Immortal waspletely erased from existence by a mere brush! In the end, the figure who was nearly a Taiyi Golden Immortal was sted by a staff until there was nothing left! All of them trembled with shock. Even though they were high in the sky, they still felt that supremely terrifying, almost world-ending might! In the end, all the Heavenly Immortal-level and Golden Immortal-level powerhouses burst apart, leaving none¡ This resulted in a deafening silence among the many strong cultivators from Saint Cloud City. Absolute, dead silence. They watched incredulously below them, looking at that small mountain vige! All of them were as if petrified. ¡°Is¡ Is this the ce where the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune resides? No¡ how could it be this terrifying!¡± ¡°This is clearly a forbidden area; are those beings that emerged from within the forbidden area?¡± ¡°Heavens, this is too terrible, too horrifying, so many Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals ughtered as if they were mere ants!¡± Everyone felt chills down their spines, overwhelmed by fear! How could they still fight? Continue to advance and attack? That would be seeking death, presenting their heads on a tter! ¡°Our Sword Listening Pavilion will no longer be involved in this; we will forsake the fortune here!¡± Pavilion Master Tingyu, whose eyes were hollow save for their whites, now contained a profound fear as he turned and fled! Not willing to stay a moment longer! ¡°Our Great Brilliance Sect gives up as well, no matter what rare treasures are here, we no longer want them!¡± Even someone as maniacal as the Purple Robe Taoist was fleeing straight away at this moment! He was virtually as if he had seen a ghost! ¡°Sect Master, we of the Green Moon Sect must also retreat; this ce is too terrifying, it¡¯s simply not something we can afford to meddle with!¡± ¡°Farewell!¡± The Master of Qingyue Sect spoke immediately, leading his people as they turned to leave! ¡°Sect Master, what should we do? Do we continue the attack?¡± At that moment, a Golden Armored General at the peak of the Celestial Immortal Realm looked towards Ao Wushuang. But Ao Wushuang, intently watching the small mountain vige below and hearing these words, suddenly began to tremble and said, ¡°I attack your mother!¡± ¡°Flee, before the beings from the forbidden area spot us, escape immediately!¡± Having said that, he transformed into a rainbow light himself and disappeared instantly. The speed at which he fled for his life was incredibly fast! In an instant, the entire army that had torn through the void to arrive from the Immortal Domain was fleeing frantically like fish slipping through a, desperately escaping! Not daring to fight at all! They headed straight out of the Southern Territory, back to the rift in the realm¡¯s barrier, moring to get back to the Immortal Domain! At that moment. In the Northern Immortal Domain, Saint Cloud City. At the Sect of the Heavenly Soul, elder Li Luo briskly entered the grand hall and said, ¡°Sect Master, just today, the four major sects have joined forces and descended to the Lower World!¡± His voice carried a hint of excitement, ¡°They really fell for the trap; if they could return in a miserable defeat, that would be all too perfect¡¡± If it weren¡¯t for the news of the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune luring the four major sects to the Lower World, their Sect of the Heavenly Soul might have been divided up by now! The Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul let out a sigh and nodded silently, saying, ¡°What a pity, such a great opportunity with the Celestial Monarch¡¯s Formation-Breaking Tune lying right before us, and yet, we can¡¯t seize it¡¡± ¡°I hope Ao Wushuang and the others don¡¯t seed.¡± He murmured. ¡°Sect Master, it¡¯s terrible news, terrible news!¡± At this time, another elder stumbled in, panicked. ¡°The people from the four major sects have all returned, not one of them lost, they¡¯vee back furious, arriving at our Sect Gate, and we¡¯re surrounded!¡± Hearing this, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul shook violently, and elder Li Luo¡¯s face turned pale! ¡°Howis this possible!¡± Li Luo murmured. ¡°This is bad¡ this is bad! Gather the troops at once¡ I must go and see for myself!¡± The Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul, who had been in seclusion in the grand hall for hundreds of years, hurriedly got up. Before long, the people of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul appeared at the Sect Gate. Advancing, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul saw the forces of the four major Sect Masters! Ao Wushuang, Master of Qingyue Sect, the Purple Robe Taoist, Master of Tingjian Pavilion, and others, were all present! ¡°It¡¯s over¡ how did they all return without a single loss?¡± The Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul was filled with disbelief, but still steeled himself to step forward and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist brothers, what is the meaning of this? Our Sect of the Heavenly Soul has no quarrel with you all¡ why resort to arms?¡± However, on the other side, Ao Wushuang and the others had grim expressions and eyes filled with rage! ¡°No quarrel?!¡± Ao Wushuang roared, ¡°You damn nearly got us killed by sending us to the Lower World, don¡¯t you know what terrifying existence is hidden in the Xuantian Realm?¡± ¡°Fortunately, we fled quickly, or else all of us would have died in the Lower World!¡± Chapter 114 - 106 Heavenly Realm!_2 Chapter 114: Chapter 106 Heavenly Realm!_2 Trantor: 549690339 | ¡°You old fox, today I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He was so angry that he seemed about to breathe fire. If it wasn¡¯t for another group of people who helped them find out the truth about that small mountain vige, they might have all been doomed! ¡°Sect of the Heavenly Soul, you deserve death!¡± ¡°Kill them, they framed us!¡± The crowd was furiously agitated, with Immortal Spiritual Power shaking all directions! The Sect Master of the Heavenly Soul was instantly shocked, does this mean that Ao Wushuang and others, after mobilizing the city¡¯s full force to the Lower World, were ultimately scared off and ran back? Heaven¡ what kind of great horror does the Xuantian Realm hide? Had he underestimated it after all? But, he had no time to think further, as the terrifying attacks from Ao Wushuang and hisrades were already bearing down on him! The small mountain vige. At the vige entrance. ¡°Am I seeing things, or did all these people just vanish in the blink of an eye?¡± Elder Zhao spoke with some confusion. There were clearly many members of the underworld present just a moment ago. After all, he was merely a mortal, so when the battle erupted between the two sides, the Immortal Spiritual Qi produced blinded him. At this moment, Yuanyang Holy Lord, Dugu Chenlu, Cihang Saint Lord, and others were all extremely astonished. ¡°Heaven, are these items¡ truly all supreme magical instruments?¡¯ Yuanyang Holy Lord muttered incredulously, looking at the objects in Dugu Yuqing and the others¡¯ hands. A pen that could kill a Golden Immortal. A sickle that could slice off the heads of Heavenly Immortals as easily as one would cut leeks! A zing Staff that could even st away Holy Artifacts imbued with thews of the Dao! Even an ordinary-looking broom could, with a casual sweep, kill a group of Golden Immortals and Heavenly Immortals¡ It was terrifying. It was terrifying. This was the only feeling shared by all of them. ¡°Senior Li is such a terrifying figure; even the garbage in his courtyard, if ced in the outside world, would cause huge ripples.¡± Cihang Saint Lord couldn¡¯t help but speak out. ¡°I was still puzzled as to why Senior Li wanted my son to learn calligraphy; it turns out, the calligraphy contains such terrifying Sword Dao¡¡± Dugu Chenlu looked at Dugu Yuqing with shock and relief. Letting Dugu Yuqing stay by Senior Li¡¯s side might be the best decision he had ever made in his life! ¡°What a ¡®Return to purity from purity¡¯¡ Qing Chen¡¯s Dao heart has reached a height that even I cannot fathom. Senior Li is too terrifying, mastering even the Buddhist principles to such extent¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming expressed immense admiration. ¡°Alright, we have cleared these flies; it¡¯s time to return to our master and report.¡± Long Zixuan spoke. Subsequently, they said farewell to Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others. ¡°Qing Chen, while you follow Senior Li, you must cultivate diligently. If our realm can produce a true Great Sage of the Brahman Path in the future, that would be of immeasurable merit.¡± ¡°Yu Qing, continue to delve into calligraphy, do not cken. With a once-in- an-epoch remarkable figure like Senior Li as your teacher, you must cherish this opportunity¡¡± Before leaving, Saint Teacher Kongming and Dugu Chenlu gave their parting advice. After that, they left the small mountain vige. The new grand world has justpleted its fusion, and they should get ustomed to it immediately. A new world, new challenges will soon arrive. One can imagine that the beings from originally over a hundred worlds are now in the same world, and inevitably, collisions will ur. Competing for prime resources, establishing their own areas of influence, and so on¡ Conflict will be endless! And the Xuantian Realm, being at the center of all the worlds, with the World Tree presiding over the new grand world, will likely attract attention from all sides. The original forces of the Xuantian Realm had to be prepared. Finally, they departed. It wasn¡¯t long before Long Zixuan and hispanions had returned to Wu¡¯er Xianting. ¡°Master, we haven¡¯t let you down. Those annoying flies will no longer be able to disturb the tranquility of the mountain vige.¡± Lu Rang reported, his face still bearing a trace of reluctance to finish. Annihting a peak Heavenly Immortal was something they wouldn¡¯t even dare think about in the past; the emergence of such a being could extinguish the entire Xuantian Realm. Now, however, they did it effortlessly. ¡°s, it¡¯s a pity that we had so few peopleing this time¡¡± Dugu Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If a few more Golden Immortals hade, perhaps his understanding of the Sword Dao could have deepened even further! Hearing their words, Li Fan was somewhat perplexed. Wiry did these disciples seem to want more trouble? ¡± Put down your tools right away and get back to your studies. Li Fan spoke up, urging them back on the right track. ¡°By the way, big brother, they said that this time the Xuantian Realm and many other worlds have formed a new, huge world.¡± At this moment, Xinning suddenly spoke up, with big, curious eyes, and asked, ¡°Big brother, what do you think about this?¡± Gong Ya was also very attentive. She understood that the Demon Monarch wanted to probe for some useful information from this peerless expert¡¯s mouth. And Nan Feng and the others also looked at Li Fan with concern. After all, the formation of a new world would affect them too. Especially since the Xuantian Realm was the center of this world. But upon hearing this, Li Fan was somewhat at a loss. A new, huge world? The merging of hundreds of worlds into one was, in Li Fan¡¯s opinion, simply unbelievable and wondrous. But, such matters, only those powerful cultivators who could fly through the skies and burrow through the earth, were qualified to be concerned with, right? He immediately shook his head and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about such things.¡± ¡°Just focus on doing your own things well.¡± Worrying about it was just a waste of effort. Hearing this, Xinning¡¯s big eyes fluttered, and she was somewhat shocked inside. The meaning of the senior was clear. This matter was too trivial to warrant his concern! Gong Ya was also incredibly surprised. ¡°Even involving the Senluo Holy Sect¡ the Senluo Immortal Monarch, this senior can disregard it? Could he possibly be¡¡± She could hardly imagine. At this moment, it was Zi Ling who seemed a bit wistful as she said, ¡°A new world, eh¡ I really wonder what it will look like. Probably we can no longer call it the Xuantian Realm, right? The new, huge world should have a new name¡¡± As she spoke, she turned to Li Fan and asked, ¡°Teacher, what do you think would be a good name?¡± Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°Xuantian Realm, Xuantian Realm. Actually, that ¡®Xuan¡¯ character isn¡¯t really necessary. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to just call it Heavenly Realm?¡± ¡°Then the Hundred Worlds can be named as Hundred States.¡± Li Fan also spoke very casually. After all, there¡¯s no tax on bragging. Talking nonsense would have no impact anyway. But, the few people around him were even more shocked, revealing an incredulous look. ¡°Heavenly Realm¡ naming it Heavenly Realm? That¡¯s terrifying¡ Could this realm have some connection with the legendary First Heavenly Realm? ¡°Could this terrifying entity be from the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± Gong Ya was full of doubts and uncertainties, feeling even more that this seemingly ordinary little mountain vige was tied to a terrifying upheaval that might overturn the Immortal Domain! After all, the First Heavenly Realm of old was an existence that dared to contend with the Immortal Domain! Xinning also pondered thoughtfully¡ At this moment, with Li Fan¡¯s words, the World Tree in the corner trembled slightly with its green leaves. The outside world. The formation of the new, huge world had left the beings of over a hundred worlds in shock and confusion. Such an event was unprecedented for any sect or power or any single world. ¡°A new, huge world¡ Our Xuanming Realm is no longer an independent world¡¡± ¡°The Earth Yuan Realm has actually be part of other worlds? Unimaginable¡ We need to quickly figure out the situation of the new, huge world!¡± ¡°Dispatch people immediately to investigate; we have to take the lead in this world. Ideally, the new, huge world would be named after our Difeng Realm! Countless worlds, and those strong cultivators and powerful sects who had reacted, were now taking action. But, at this moment. In the sky of the new, huge world. The golden silhouette of a tree reappeared, and chains of golden order iled about the sky! Rays of terrifying light bathed the entire new world. A message appeared in the minds of all beings as if a blessing to their souls! ¡°Heavenly Realm!¡± Those were the only two words! In an instant, the whole world was shaken. It was boiling over. This was the announcement from the World Tree, the essence of the new world¡¯s origin, proiming to all! Chapter 115 - 107: The War Begins 1 Chapter 115: Chapter 107: The War Begins 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Heavenly Realm! The terrifying shadow of the World Tree upied the sky of the New World, and countless golden chains of order dangled down, as beams of golden light containing information illuminated the world below, letting all people know these two words. The Heavenly Realm, this is the name of the New World! The ¡°Xuan¡± character from the previous Xuantian Realm has vanished. ¡°The Heavenly Realm¡ Is this really the name of the New World? Too bold¡ Although the New World is powerful, it can¡¯t be surpassing the Earth Character Realm!¡± ¡°I feel something¡¯s off. Could this world really be rted to the legendary First Heavenly Realm? Otherwise, how could it absorb over a hundred worlds?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible¡ But no matter what, from today onwards, this is the Heavenly Realm.¡± Everyone was discussing, the name setting their imagination alight. In some ancient powers and inheritances, the old fossils were now murmuring to themselves. ¡°If this world is truly rted to the First Heavenly Realm, then it¡¯s too important, containing supreme opportunities¡¡± In the Earth Yuan Realm, within a cave, a terrifying elder murmured, with golden divine light shining from his eyes. ¡°We must take it seriously and strive to seize control over the Heavenly Realm quickly. This way, all the opportunities will belong to us.¡± In the Difeng Realm, inside an ancient pce, a very strong middle-aged man mmed his hand on the table. ¡°The Heavenly Realm¡ Could this be the legendary Ancestral Realm? There are records in a broken secret tome that our Huangtian Realm was also part of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± In the Huangtian Realm, an emaciated old man, nothing but skin and bones, walked out of a coffin, his expression extremely agitated. The strange phenomena between heaven and earth had not stopped. Immediately after, in various resistingnds, suddenly huge steles rose from the ground! Earth Yuan Realm. At the border between the Earth Yuan Realm and another continent, a stele thousands of meters tall emerged with three big characters: ¡°Diyuan State!¡± This scene urred in the original worlds. Huangtian State. Earth Spirit State. Xuanming Province. Former individual worlds could now only be a state within the Heavenly Realm! In just a few short days, after the World Tree manifested and proimed to the world, the concept of the Heavenly Realm had deeply rooted in people¡¯s hearts. The idea of a Hundred States had also been epted by everyone. At the same time, the gaze of the Hundred States of Heaven was focused on one central state. Xuan Tianzhou! There, was the center of the entire world. ¡°Xuan Tianzhou¡ There must be great secrets hidden there, we need to investigate in time!¡± ¡°It would be best to settle in Xuan Tianzhou!¡± ¡°Right, the roots of the World Tree are all nted in that state. Even if it was originally just a Profound Character Realm, it will gradually be the gathering ce of the Immortal Spiritual Qi of the world. We must vie for it.¡± All the people were watching. At this moment. Xuan Tianzhou. People like Yuanyang Holy Lord were gathered together. They had been discussing, ready to deal with the new situation. ¡°Now that the Heavenly Realm has just formed, the powers have be even moreplex.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke, ¡°Among the Hundred States of Heaven, those belonging to the Earth Character Realm include three major states: ¡®Earth Spirit State¡¯, ¡®Difeng State¡¯, and ¡®Diyuan State¡¯!¡± ¡°In addition, there are over twenty states that were originally part of the Mysterious Character Realm.¡± ¡°The rest are almost all at the Huang (Yellow) character level states.¡± During this time, they had gained an initial understanding of the current Heavenly Realm. ¡°Continue the investigation, and make it clear which strong forces exist in each state! As well as the geographical conditions of each state and more,¡± said Yuanyang Holy Lord. Over the next month, there were continuous integrations between the various states of the Heavenly Realm. Messengers were flying back and forth rapidly. People were getting a basic understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Realm. At the same time, war began to spread throughout the Heavenly Realm! ¡°Report! A multitude of major powers in Diyuan State, under the leadership of Purple Light Mountain and Ancient Peak Sect Master, have established the ¡®Earth Element Alliance¡¯. Ten days ago, they broke through Xuanqian Province, Huangming Province, and Huangcheng Province! Their influence is expanding!¡± ¡°Report! Three days ago, the ¡®Earth Spirit Alliance¡¯ formed in Earth Spirit State conquered seven major states, bolstering their power!¡± ¡°Report! The ¡®Earth Wind Alliance¡¯ of Difeng State has annihted the entire Xuanlie Province!¡± ¡°Report! Three more states have joined the ¡®Xuanzi Alliance¡¯!¡± One by one, messages rapidly reached Xuan Tianzhou. At Taiyan Holy Land, powerhouses like Yuanyang Holy Lord and Saint Teacher Kongming gathered here, their expressions extremely solemn. ¡°Alt, it should have been expected. Now that the Heavenly Realm has just formed, the powers are intermixed, and the strengths between the various states are too disparate; annexation is inevitable!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord sighed. ¡°What¡¯s frightening is not the current warfare,¡± said Dugu Chenlu solemnly. ¡°Have you all considered why, as the center of the Heavenly Realm, Xuan Tianzhou has so far been untouched by war?¡± ¡°Moreover, the route of conquest by the major alliances seems to be encircling us at the center.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces darkened. ¡°Does Brother Dugu mean that all the major alliances¡ are now umting strength?¡± Saint Teacher Kongming said. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s probably because Xuan Tianzhou is too important, and they are wary of us, so for the time being, no alliance has made a move against us.¡± ¡°But this is not good news. Once they attack, I fear Xuan Tianzhou may face the cmity of eradication!¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke gravely, ¡°Everyone, we must prepare for war.¡± Preparation for war! At those words, everyone¡¯s expressions grew solemn. ¡°Now that four major alliances have emerged in the Heavenly Realm, among them, the Earth Wind Alliance, the Earth Element Alliance, and the Earth Spirit Alliance, are all mainly formed by the original Earth Character Realm, while the Xuanzi Alliance is formed by some powerful Profound Character States¡ Should we join one of them?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke somewhat uncertainly. ¡°No,¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord shook his head. ¡°We cannot join any alliance because all four alliances surely intend to swallow Xuan Tianzhou to control the Heavenly Realm. If we join one, it would y right into their hands.¡± ¡°We must maintain our independence!¡± Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, we must not join any alliance!¡± ¡°Xuantian Province should not get involved.¡± They had all reached a consensus. ¡°An envoy from the Earth Spirit Alliance hase to visit!¡± Just at this moment, outside the Taiyan Holy Land, a voice suddenly rang out! In the great hall, everyone¡¯s expression instantly changed. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. They exchanged nces. ¡°Please.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke, knowing they couldn¡¯t possibly turn away the visitor, regardless of their intentions. To do so would not only appear cowardly, but also gratuitously create an enemy! Before long, a middle-aged man had already made his way to the great hall of the Taiyan Holy Land. He walked in with his hands behind his back, a proud look on his face, and a faint smile on his lips, saying: ¡°I am Wang Juan, an envoy from the Earth Spirit Alliance, on a mission to deliver a letter to you all.¡± He casually took out an envelope, saying, ¡°May I ask who holds authority over this sword?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao responded indifferently, ¡°I am the Taiyan Saint Lord.¡± Wang Juan gave a slight smile and said, ¡°Saint Lord? Does anyone dare to im such a title these days?¡± After finishing his words, he shot the envelope in his hand towards Saint Lord Lingchao with force! The envelope carried a terrifying force of Immortal Spirit. ¨C Even a regr Immortal might not be able to catch it! A shadow crossed Saint Lord Lingchao¡¯s eyes, but with a light flick of his hand, he caught the envelope steadily, without injury! Seeing this, Wang Juan¡¯s pupils slightly constricted as he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that in this little Profound Character Realm, there would be an Immortal!¡± Usually, in many realms of the Profound Character Realm, an Almost Immortal is the pinnacle ofbat power. Saint Lord Lingchao opened the envelope impassively. After ncing at the contents of the letter, his brows furrowed deeply! ¡°What is it, Brother Lingchao?¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord asked. Saint Lord Lingchao handed the letter to the others and said in a deep voice, ¡°The Earth Spirit Alliance wants us to bow our heads in fealty, and moreover, they demand that we leave Xuantian Province within ten days!¡± Upon hearing this, Dugu Chenlu, Cihang Saint Lord, and the others were furiously enraged! ¡°This is too much!¡± ¡°Just because of one letter, they expect us to leave our ancestralnd?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± They all spoke out in anger! Noticing their reaction, Wang Juan, however, smiled leisurely and said, ¡°Perhaps I should remind you, this letter was handwritten by one of the protectors of the Earth Spirit Alliance. He¡ is a Heavenly Immortal!¡± Heavenly Immortal! He looked at Dugu Chenlu and the others proudly. He was well aware that for Immortals and True Immortals, a Heavenly Immortal was the real sky. With a mere wave of his hand, he could obliterate the entire Xuantian Province. However, what followed was his disappointment because he did not see the look of terror on everyone¡¯s faces. Instead, Dugu Chenlu, Saint Lord Lingchao, and the others were very calm! The Yuanyang Holy Lord then spoke gravely, ¡°Written by a Heavenly Immortal¡ Ha, what if we do notply with this letter?¡± Wang Juan¡¯s face immediately darkened as he said, ¡°Three days!¡± ¡°You only have three days. If you do not promptly submit and depart Xuantian Province as dictated in the letter, then you will never see the sun of the Heavenly Realm again!¡± ¡°Prepare to face the wrath of the Earth Spirit Alliance!¡± Having said that, he turned and left. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and said coldly, ¡°I would advise you not to struggle in vain. The alliance could send any Profound Immortal over andpletely annihte all of you ants!¡± Wang Juan had left. In the great hall, however, everyone¡¯s faces looked extremely grim! ¡°Simply outrageous!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao mmed his fist on the table! ¡°Do they really think they are the Masters of the Heavenly Realm?!¡± ¡°Brother Yuanyang is right. These alliances are truly wolves with ambition, harboring ulterior motives for Xuantian Province!¡± The others also voiced their indignation! ¡°The key point now is, what do we do? The Earth Spirit Alliance¡ it is thebination of all the powerful forces from the original Earth Spirit Realm, including many Heavenly Immortals, and perhaps even Golden Immortals!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming, with deep concern in his aged eyes, said, ¡°Once war breaks out, we cannot withstand them!¡± Everyone fell silent. Indeed, the Xuantian Realm was already quite strong among the many Mysterious Character Realms, but it was still far inferior in strength to the Earth Spirit Realm! At this moment, the Yuanyang Holy Lord¡¯s eyes suddenly gleamed, saying, ¡°I think we can also establish an alliance to defend Xuantian Province!¡± ¡°Xuantian Alliance!¡± At his words, everyone shuddered. ¡°The Xuantian Alliance¡ but, the other alliances are all very powerful!¡± Cihang Saint Lord hesitated a bit, saying, ¡°Even Xuanzi Alliance, said to be the weakest, is rumored to have several old Heavenly Immortals!¡± And in Xuantian Province, their current strongest members, Dugu Chenlu, Yuanyang Holy Lord, and the others, were merely in the True Immortal Realm. Not even a Profound Immortal among them. ¡°That doesn¡¯t matter.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord was unaffected, saying, ¡°We appoint Goddess Zunling¡¯er and Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, as the leaders of the alliance!¡± At his words, everyone¡¯s expressions became solemn. ¡°Understood, with that, who would dare toe looking for trouble?¡± ¡°Yes, behind the Divine Maiden Ling¡¯er and Divine Maiden Qian Ning is Senior Li, after all¡¡± With this thought, they immediately rejoiced. All worries were swept away in an instant! ¨C Even all those powerful individuals from the Senluo Holy Sect had perished, let alone these insignificant alliances¡ ¡°Of course, we still need to ask Senior Li himself about this matter.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke. Everyone nodded, none daring to make decisions on their own regarding matters involving Li Fan. ¡°Let¡¯s go find Miss Ling¡¯er and Miss Qian Ning right now!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao immediately said. Chapter 116 - 108: Earth Spirit Alliance_1 Chapter 116: Chapter 108: Earth Spirit Alliance_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Xuan Tianzhou, within the Imperial Pce of the Southern Fire Nation. ¡°What? Have Sister Ling¡¯er and I be Alliance Hierarchs?¡± Mu Qianning simply doubted her own ears. Fire Spirit also frowned and said, ¡°With both our cultivation levels and experiences, Qianning and I are far from adequate. How could we possibly take on the role of Alliance Hierarch for the entire state¡¡± Upon hearing this, Yuanyang Holy Lord could only offer a bitter smile and said, ¡°Miss Ling¡¯er, Miss Qianning, if you are unwilling to take on this position, I fear that Xuan Tianzhou mightpletely fall into ruin!¡± Dugu Chenlu also spoke up, ¡°Now, with the Four Great Alliances eyeing us like tigers and the Earth Spirit Alliance posing a direct threat¡ we can no longer afford to be disunited, we must organize ourselves.¡± ¡°And the two of you are the ones who can convince everyone in Xuan Tianzhou!¡± They all looked at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning with burning gazes. ¡°I understand¡¡± Fire Spirit pondered and said, ¡°But we can¡¯t decide this on our own, we must ask Senior Li for guidance!¡± ¡°That¡¯s what we thought as well.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others also spoke up. ¡°Qianning, what do you think?¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning hesitated for a moment. She really didn¡¯t want to be this so-called Alliance Hierarch, but she also understood that the situation was pressing and it had to be done. ¡°I agree¡ let¡¯s go ask Senior Li, shall we?¡± Before long, they arrived again at the small mountain vige. In the courtyard of Wu¡¯er Xianting. Recently, thanks to the aid of Pan Peaches and other resources, Li Fan¡¯s disciples had made even greater strides in strength! Nan Feng¡¯s understanding of the ¡°Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody¡± deepened further, her demeanor bing more transcendent. Once her music yed, her fierce and decisive aura swept through, bringing her on the brink of entering the Celestial Immortal Realm. Zi Ling was not far behind. In recent times, she practiced painting sunsets daily and had captured a hint of their essence, reaching the Mystical Immortal Eighth Heaven! Qing Chen swept the floor every day, his Buddha nature bing clearer, and he reached the Mysterious Immortal Sixth Heaven. Long Zixuan was even more formidable. Imitating the koi fish in the pond, his Dragon Soul, once unleashed,manded a formidable presence, cing him on par with Zi Ling. Dugu Yuqing was now able to write aplete character of ¡°one,¡± indicating he had broken into the Xuanxian Realm. Only Lu Rang remained stuck at the True Immortal Ninth Heaven, but recently, he had be engrossed in growing nts! The seeds were given to him by Li Fan, said to be ¡°Pasture Grass,¡± but Lu Rang discovered that these seeds were extraordinary. If cultivated well, a single nt could kill an immortal. He was already thinking about leading a terrifying sea of grass to traverse the Immortal Domain. Even Gong Ya, a Demon Marshal of her generation, couldn¡¯t help but admire the growth speed of the disciples in this courtyard. ¡°All, to be able to follow such an unparalleled master, even a good-for-nothing could grow to a level that shakes all heavens, right?¡± she muttered to herself. Meanwhlie, Xinning casually nibbled on Pan Peaches or asked Lu Rang for a carrot or something, her physique improving and her aura rapidly recovering while in hibernation. Gong Ya suspected it wouldn¡¯t be long before Xinning could recuperate back to the Demon Monarch Realm. ¡°Qianning and others havee to pay respects to Senior Li.¡± At this moment, the voice of Mu Qianning came from outside. ¡°Come in.¡± Li Fan spoke. Mu Qianning and the others immediately pushed the door open and entered. When they saw Long Zixuan and the others, they were once again astonished. ¡°Just a few days apart, and Senior Li¡¯s disciples have reached an even more terrifying realm¡¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured to himself, thinking it wouldn¡¯t be long before this small courtyard would produce one terrifying powerhouse after another. ¡°Why have youe, Qianning?¡± Li Fan asked with a smile. Upon hearing this, Qianning immediately said, ¡°Senior, this is the situation¡ Due to the formation of the new world, four alliances have now formed in the Heavenly Realm¡¡± ¡°These four alliances are all very powerful and want to snatch the resources of Xuan Tianzhou, forcing us to leave Xuan Tianzhou¡¡± ¡°Therefore, Yuanyang Senior has proposed that we also establish an alliance!¡± ¡°So, we havee to seek guidance from Senior. Is this alright?¡± Mu Qianning was somewhat anxious. An alliance? Li Fan was momentarily puzzled. But he soon realized the situation. Ah, that¡¯s right, Fire Spirit and the others, as well as folks like Yuanyang, are in the business of selling paintings and calligraphy. With the new world formed, others are banding together topete in the market! That must be it! And facing this situation, if Yuanyang and others from Xuan Tianzhou continue to act on their own, they would inevitably be gradually oupeted. The only choice was to band together as well to grow stronger andrger! And the reason they came to consult him about such a matter was obviously hoping he would offer assistance in theirpetition against those other alliances. After all, Li Fan¡¯s paintings and calligraphy are considered fine works outside and having good products is essential to remainpetitive! Understanding the cause and effect, Li Fan smiled immediately and said, ¡°Of course, that¡¯s perfectly fine.¡± ¡°If you need help with anythingter on, juste to find me.¡± He too was pleased with such an arrangement, as it meant he might be able to sell more of his works in the future. Moreover, it was thanks to Fire Spirit and the others¡¯ promotions that he was able to take in disciples at all. Thinking of this, Li Fan suddenly got a headache again. The system tasked him with taking ten disciples, but since Zi Ling and Nan Feng were already his disciples before, they don¡¯t count in the total, so he only had four disciples in full count. He still needed six more! For now, he had to support Fire Spirit and the others to grow stronger, which would make it easier for them to help him find more disciplester on. Upon hearing Li Fan¡¯s response, Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others were overjoyed! Senior Li had agreed and even promised to help! Chapter 117 - 108: Earth Spirit Alliance 2 Chapter 117: Chapter 108: Earth Spirit Alliance 2 Trantor: 549690339 This is just too good! ¡°With Senior Li speaking such words, Xuan Tianzhou is without worry!¡± ¡°Haha, even if the Four Great Alliancese together, we will have no fear!¡± They were overjoyed without bounds. Right, Senior, one of the alliances hase knocking, saying they wille to cause trouble in three days¡¡± Fire Spirit continued to speak. Although Senior Li had agreed to help them establish an alliance, the threat from the Earth Spirit Alliance in three days still caused them great consternation. After all, Xuan Tianzhou¡¯s current strength was far too weakpared to the Earth Spirit Alliance. Upon hearing this, Li Fan pondered for a moment, thinking, do these people really intend to y dirty? To dabble in both the underworld and the legitimate business world, that could be very troublesome indeed. ¡°What about the opposing force¡¯s strength? And their numbers?¡± Li Fan asked. The Yuanyang Holy Lord replied, ¡°To report to Senior, both in terms of strength and numbers, they far surpass our Xuan Tianzhou!¡± Superior strength and greater numbers¡ The disparity was too great. Even if he were to send his four male disciples to help, it would be but a drop in the bucket¡ It seemed that under these circumstances, the only option was to temporarily avoid the storm! Li Fan immediately said, ¡°How about you all stay in the small vige for a few days first?¡± If you can¡¯t win, just hide for a bit. That was what Li Fan thought. Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were startled, but then overjoyed! ¡°Great, thank you, Senior Li!¡± ¡°This is wonderful!¡± They were all extremely happy. It was known that in this small vigey terrifying Dao rhythms and principles. Cultivating here for one day was better than cultivating outside for a year! ¡°Senior Li is helping us improve our strength.¡± ¡°One can imagine that our strength will soon reach a new level!¡± They were thrilled. Soon, they left and then started organizing the elites from the various sects to cultivate in the small vige! Meanwhile. Deep beneath Xuan Tianzhou. Where the magma flowed, mes surged. A massive heart suddenly began to emerge gradually from the magma. ¡°Thump¡ª¡± The heart made a profound thudding sound! Next to the magma, a blood-colored shadow suddenly appeared. ¡°Rebirth¡ Indestructible Heavenly Realm¡ I shall dominate the Heavenly Realm and be the Immortal Sovereign¡¡± The Blood Shadow whispered lowly, then suddenly approached the massive heart. ¡°Thump¡ª¡± With each thud from the heart, a wave of golden ripples spread out instantly, the Blood Shadow issued a piercing scream and quickly retreated. No¡ impossible. I am born from the blood of countless creatures from the Heavenly Realm; I am the rightful heir to the First Heavenly Realm. How can you reject me!¡± The Blood Shadow looked at the heart with a bitter tone, its words gradually filled with resentment: ¡°You must acknowledge me!¡± ¡°I can feel it, the pieces of your shattered body are close. Many Lower Worlds have already merged. I will take possession of the other parts¡ and then, you will have no choice but to acknowledge me!¡± The Blood Shadow murmured. Thousands of years ago, the First Heavenly Realm was ughtered by the Immortal Domain, and countless defiant creatures perished. Amidst the ughter and bloodshed, the Blood Shadow was born, embodying madness and distortion, filled with violence and evil. It, along with the heart, was sted into the Void Ocean. After sinking for thousands of years, it nearly withered away. But a while ago, the blood of a Profound Immortal awakened it, and also the heart. ¡°As long as I have you, I will be able to stand tall above heaven and earth¡¡± The Blood Shadow whispered lowly, as if sensing something. ¡°The other parts of you¡ I can feel them¡ I must obtain them!¡± The voice of the Blood Shadow echoed in the magma, and the next moment, it had disappeared. After the Blood Shadow left, from within the heart there seemed to be a faint, barely perceptible sigh¡ At this moment. Earth Spirit State. Between Earth Spirit State and Xuan Tianzhou, separated by a Profound Character State and two Yellow Character States, the distance was vast. Even for Wang Juan, who had reached the Immortal Realm, it took half a day¡¯s time to rush from Xuan Tianzhou to Earth Spirit State. He headed straight for the Central Province of Earth Spirit State. Central Province of Earth Spirit State. In this majestd, towering pces stood one after another. Originally an Earth Character Realm, it boasted numerous powerful legacies. There were two Golden Immortal-level ancient powers. Purple Light Mountain, Ancient Peak Sect! As for the other Celestial Immortal-level powers, there were more than a dozen, such as the Wind Fire Sect, Blood Mist Sect, and Red Star Sect, etc. The Profound Immortal-level forces were even more numerous, with more than a hundred! The Earth Spirit Alliance, however, was established by Purple Light Mountain and Ancient Peak Sect taking the lead, with the sect masters of the two major sects serving as alliance hierarchs. The sect masters of the other Celestial Immortal-level powers were supreme guardians. And all the strong individuals in the Celestial Immortal Realm were guardians. Their power was extremely formidable! In just a short month, Earth Spirit State had even conquered nearly twenty other states. Ordinary Profound Character States and Yellow Character States had no power to resist. At this moment, within the grand hall of Ancient Peak Sect, the two alliance leaders of the Earth Spirit Alliance, twelve supreme guardians, and sixty-four guardians were all present. They were discussing important matters. Alliance Leader Yin, Alliance Leader Yue, we have already consecutively conquered over a dozen states, now, shouldn¡¯t we advance towards Xuan Tianzhou?¡± An elder spoke up, he was the sect master of Blood Mist Sect and a supreme guardian of the Earth Spirit Alliance¡ªBlood Mist Elder! Red Star Sect¡¯s sect master, Red Star Sage, also faintly smiled as he spoke, Conquering a hundred states isn¡¯t as good as taking down Xuan Tianzhou!¡± This one state is too important, it must contain great opportunities!¡± ¡°We cannot let it slip away!¡± ¡°If we arete, it¡¯s very possible that it will be snatched away by the Earth Wind Alliance, or the Earth Element Alliance!¡± The crowd unanimously agreed. One could say, forming the alliance was primarily to seize Xuan Tianzhou! Many forces were bing impatient. At the top, however, sat two elders side by side. One of them had white hair and was so thin that he seemed to be only skin and bones, but his eyes were like divine lightning; he was none other than Yin Xingde, the mountain master of Purple Light Mountain. The other was an elderly yet muscr man showing no signs of fatigue, with a robust figure as imposing as a mountain¡ªhe was none other than Yue Poshan, the sect master of Ancient Peak Sect! Both of them kept their powerful auras hidden, yet their presence was fearsome; both were Golden Immortals! ¡°What everyone has mentioned is very true; it is time,¡± Yue Poshan said indifferently. ¡°Brother Yin, what do you think?¡± Yin Xingde slightly smiled and then looked towards one of the supreme guardians, asking, ¡°Fellow Daoist Zhu Xuan, how is the matter on your end progressing?¡± Zhu Xuan, the sect master of Wind Fire Sect, was also a Celestial Immortal. Zhu Xuan stood up and said, ¡°To report to the alliance leaders, I have already sent messengers to Xuan Tianzhou with a letter. If they are wise, the messengers I sent out should be returning with their letters of submission by now¡¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. ¡°Excellent, winning without a fight is best!¡± Hehe, such speed, Alliance Leader Yin is indeed brilliantly insightful.¡± Their praises were unceasing. ¡°Wang Juan of Wind Fire Sect requests an audience with the two alliance leaders and the guardians!¡± At that moment, a loud call came from outside. ¡°Let him enter!¡± Yue Poshan immediately waved his hand. Suddenly, a middle-aged man came in¡ªit was indeed Wang Juan. ¡°Wang Juan, what¡¯s the situation? Has Xuan Tianzhou submitted?¡± Zhu Xuan asked expectantly! As he saw it, Xuan Tianzhou had no choice! Only submission. However, Wang Juan¡¯s expression was somewhat ugly as he said, ¡°To report to the supreme guardian¡ Xuan Tianzhou has refused!¡± Refused! At these words, the expressions of everyone in the room instantly darkened! Chapter 118 - 109: The Attack on Xuan Tianzhou i Chapter 118: Chapter 109: The Attack on Xuan Tianzhou i Trantor: 549690339 I Xuantianzhou refused. Wang Juan¡¯s words immediately caused a shift in the expressions of everyone in the grand hall. ¡°What? Refuse? Those ants of Xuantianzhou even dare to refuse?¡± ¡°Are they seeking death?¡± ¡°I think we need not waste our breath, just directly send two Profound Immortals over to ughter that realm, then take over!¡± Many powerhouses spoke up, faces filled with a look of contempt. In their eyes, Xuantianzhou was nothing more than dust. Zhu Xuan was also very surprised, eximing, ¡°Refused?¡± ¡°Did you not tell them that I wrote this letter?¡± His face darkened. Wang Juan¡¯s expression also turned ugly as he said, ¡°I did, but they still ignored us!¡± Zhu Xuan suddenly mmed the table, his aura trembling, and turned his head towards the leaders, saying, ¡°Both Alliance Hierarchs, my Wind Fire Sect requests to take action, to directly annihte that realm!¡± Seated at the top, Yin Xingde¡¯s face also shed with displeasure and he said, ¡°Wang Juan, you have been to Xuantianzhou, what is the strength of the cultivators over there like?¡± Wang Juan replied, ¡°Reporting to the Alliance Hierarch, from what I saw, their strongest seems to be an Immortal!¡± ¡°At most a True Immortal!¡± Hearing this, an even colder sneer arose from the crowd. ¡°Heh, a True Immortal? Truly ants.¡± ¡°Much weaker than we had imagined.¡± They scoffed one after another. Yin Xingde, upon hearing this, immediately disyed a cold smirk, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then erase them¡ª¡± ¡°The Wind Fire Sect will take the lead, sweep away those ants, and the Alliance will prepare to move into Xuantianzhou.¡± He nced sideways towards Yue Poshan and asked, ¡°Brother Yue, what do you think?¡± Yue Poshan nodded and said, ¡°It is possible.¡± Zhu Xuan even stated, ¡°At yourmand!¡± Meanwhile, in the other major alliances. Earth Element Alliance. The Earth Element Alliance was formed by many powers from the original Earth Yuan Realm, with the Sect Master of Xingxiu Sect, Wu Mingshen, as its Alliance Hierarch. Below the Xingxiu Sect, there were two major powers, the Beast Emperor Mountain Range and the Shangguan Family! The Beast Emperor Mountain Range was the abode of the White Tiger n. The White Tiger n was extremely powerful, with rumors saying that there were already Golden Immortal-level tigers within the n. The Shangguan Family, meanwhile, was a reclusive family. ¡°We should attack Xuantianzhou. Does anyone have any suggestions?¡± Wu Mingshen, cloaked in a ck robe and seated at the top, spoke indifferently, his palms rolling two ck iron beads. ¡°Just annihte them directly.¡± Someone proposed. ¡°No,¡± The patriarch of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Zhanyi, however, shook his head and said, ¡°Xuantianzhou is strange, we cannot act rashly.¡± ¡°I do have an idea,¡± At this moment, the chieftain of the White Tiger n from the Beast Emperor Mountain Range, Bai Zhentian, let out a coldugh and said: ¡°During our n¡¯s ¡®True Monarch Blessing Festival,¡¯ our nsman Bai Yuan was betrothed to the princess of the White Tiger Lineage from the Xuantian Realm by an elder of the Immortal Domain.¡± ¡°Our White Tiger n can go forth righteously to enter into this marriage alliance, and along the way take control of Xuantianzhou.¡± Hearing this, Wu Mingshen nodded and said, ¡°It is possible!¡± Difeng State. ¡°Just received word, the Earth Spirit Alliance has already dispatched people towards Xuantianzhou, we must not fall behind.¡± ¡°Someone, immediately organize troops, I, as the Alliance Hierarch, will personally visit Xuantianzhou!¡± The Alliance Hierarch has spoken! Xuanming Province. ¡°The other Three Great Alliances will inevitably make a move against Xuantianzhou¡ As fellow states with the prefix ¡®Xuan,¡¯ we can hardly just sit by and watch.¡± A middle-aged man sat in the Alliance Hierarch¡¯s seat, his face etched with Youming patterns, his aura sinister and emitting a strong sense of death. This was the Xuanzi Alliance¡¯s Alliance Hierarch, Huang Shang! The corners of Huang Shang¡¯s mouth turned up in a cold and icy smile, as eerie as a corpse, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we should also have a look, this Xuantian Realm, capable of merging so many worlds¡ just what might is there¡¡± A message quickly spread out. ¡°The Earth Spirit Alliance, with the Wind Fire Sect as the vanguard, is moving towards Xuantianzhou! It will arrive within days!¡± In an instant, the winds and clouds converged! All the states were watching. ¡°People from the Earth Element Alliance have moved, and they¡¯re moving very quickly.¡± ¡°The Earth Wind Alliance¡¯s army has left their nests, their numbers covering the sky and sun.¡± ¡°The Xuanzi Alliance¡¯s Alliance Hierarch Huang Shang has quietly left Xuanming Province.¡± Varieties of news were exploding around. And now, in Xuan Tianzhou. In the small mountain vige of the Southern Territory. Figures flitting about. Many from the great sects were cultivating in this little vige. Their strength was advancing wildly! ¡°I never thought that crossing the Profound Immortal realm would be so easy¡ In just a few days, I have stepped into the True Immortal Realm and am about to break into the Xuanxian Realm¡¡± Filled with emotion, Saint Lord Lingchao said that a single day of cultivation here was almost better than a hundred years in the outside world! ¡°Brother Dugu, you¡¯ve entered the Celestial Immortal Realm now, haven¡¯t you?¡± Someone looked at Dugu Chenlu in surprise. His progress was the most terrifying. Dugu Chenlu nodded and said, ¡°These past few days, reflecting on the four words ¡®Wu¡¯er Xianting¡¯ on Senior Li¡¯s courtyard gate has brought me substantial insights.¡± Others, like Saint Teacher Kongming and Yuanyang Holy Lord, had all stepped into the Xuanxian Realm. At the same time, many Supremes had be Immortals and True Immortals! The increase in strength was vast. ¡°A day in the vige surpasses a thousand years in the world¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming said with a sigh. ¡°Who could have imagined, not long ago, we couldn¡¯t even reach the Almost Immortal status¡¡± Cihang Saint Lord also had a thousand emotions. ¡°Right, what puzzles me is why we, after cultivating in this little mountain vige for a few days, were able to cross one or two major realms? Most of Senior Li¡¯s advanced disciples seem to be only in the Xuanxian Realm, right?¡¡± At this time, Saint Lord Lingchao spoke up with curiosity. Logically, those young people who followed Senior Li should have had far deeper opportunities than those found in the little mountain vige. Hearing this, Dugu Chenlu simply smiled and said, ¡°Realm doesn¡¯t represent everything. The true measure of strength and depth of foundation are what¡¯s most important.¡± ¡°I can tell all of you that any of Senior Li¡¯s disciples, if let loose¡ are probably beings who dominate the Myriad Realms and are invincible within their realms!¡± ¡°Both in the Xuanxian stage, if I were to fight with my son Dugu Yuqing, a mere flick of his sword would likely leave me dead without a burial ground.¡± He was very direct and said, ¡°Likewise, my cultivation may stop at Xuanxian or Tianxian, but Senior Li¡¯s disciples, with their talents bing more terrifying by the day, are¡ destined to soar to the heavens and shake the Immortal Domain¡¡± He said reflectively. Hearing this, everyone also understood. They had been cultivating in the small mountain vige, where their realm advancement was merely quantitative. But the changes in Senior Li¡¯s disciples were qualitative! ¡°That¡¯s true, the speed of realm advancement doesn¡¯t tell much. Our realms are inted and superficial, while Senior Li¡¯s disciples are steadily invincible¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming agreed. ¡°Alright, the three-day term has ended; we should also go to meet the Earth Spirit Alliance!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, to Wu¡¯er Xianting, to invite the two Alliance Hierarchs together!¡± Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning had been staying by Li Fan¡¯s side all these days. ¡°Thank you for the guidance, Senior. These past few days have been immensely beneficial for both me and Sister Ling¡¯er!¡± In the small courtyard, Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit bid farewell to Li Fan. Having stayed here for three days, both of them had also entered the Xuanxian Realm. ¡°No need for thanks,¡± Li Fan said, ¡°Today, as you both depart, I gift you each with something.¡± He turned around and took up the brush. The ink-saturated brush made contact with the rice paper! Like silver hooks and iron strokes, the charm of the Tao resonated, as if the Law itself was thundering. Four big characters subsequently appeared¡ª ¡°Valor in Harmony!¡± Li Fan finished writing. At once, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning¡¯s eyes sparkled with brilliance! These four words seemed to contain some supreme Law. And the meaning within these words¡ Did Senior Li hope to see an end to the incessant strife in the Heavenly Realm? ¡°Thank you, Senior Li!¡± They were ecstatic! Taking the calligraphy, they left the courtyard. Yuanyang Holy Lord and others were already waiting outside. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Fire Spirit said. She and Mu Qianning, leading the people of Xuan Tianzhou, left. They had just left the Cangli Mountain Range. ¡°Report!¡± ¡°Troops from the Earth Spirit Alliance have entered Xuan Tianzhou and are about to enter the Southern Territory!¡± ¡°Also, the Earth Element Alliance, Earth Wind Alliance, and Xuanzi Alliance have respectively invaded from the Western Desert, Eastern Wilderness, and Northern Border!¡± A cultivator reported swiftly! The Four Great Alliances¡ gathered together! Chapter 119 - 110: A Pin Annihilates a Heavenly Immortali Chapter 119: Chapter 110: A Pin Annihtes a Heavenly Immortali Trantor: 549690339 All members of the Four Great Alliances had arrived. Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others looked extremely solemn. ¡°The Four Great Alliances have actuallye together¡¡± The Saint Lord Lingchao murmured, ¡°It seems that they are determined to obtain Xuan Tianzhou, aren¡¯t they?¡± ¡°Regardless, we can only face them now.¡± Contemting, the Yuanyang Holy Lord said, ¡°Someone, raise the banner, return to Taiyan Holy Land, and prepare for battle!¡± Immediately, everyone swiftly arrived at the Taiyan Holy Land. Upon reaching the Taiyan Holy Land, a series of grand banners rose to meet the sky, fluttering loudly with the words ¡°Xuantian Alliance¡± wavering in the wind! ¡°The Earth Spirit Alliance Wind Fire Sect has arrived! The ants of Xuan Tianzhou,e out and wee us!¡± Before long, an icy shout already sounded outside the Taiyan Holy Land! A series of Yu Kong Flying Ships filled the space outside the Taiyan Holy Land! At the forefront, Sect Master Zhu Xuan of the Wind Fire Sect had a cold expression and was extremely arrogant as he looked down on the Taiyan Holy Land below. Wang Juan stood beside him, angrily pointing at the grand banner and said, ¡°Sect Master, these ants have dared to establish an alliance in just a few short days!¡± ¡°Are they trying to oppose us?¡± Zhu Xuan¡¯s face was frigid, and with a step, the mountains trembled ordingly! The space quivered, intense fluctuations causing the Taiyan Holy Land below to shake violently! This was the might of a Heavenly Immortal! ¡°Who dares to cause trouble in the Xuantian Alliance!¡± Below them, a cold shout rang out. Immediately, countless Yu Kong Flying Ships also rose from within the Taiyan Holy Land! On the leading ship, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and Dugu Chenlu, among others, were guarding Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit! Wang Juan stepped forward with a grim face and said, ¡°We gave you three days, and yet you dared not to surrender, even daring to establish this damn alliance, you truly seek death!¡± ¡°Now, the Supreme Protector of the Earth Spirit Alliance and the Sect Master of the Wind Fire Sect have arrived, kneel and surrender and you might live!¡± A threat. On the warship of the Taiyan Holy Land, the Yuanyang Holy Lord stepped forward with an indifferent expression and said, ¡°A mere nobody dares to bluster, let your sect master speak!¡± Upon hearing this, Wang Juan instantly exploded in anger, jumping up and down and shouting, ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± He leaped out, releasing all his immortal qi! ¡°Even immortals dare to be rampant.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord indifferently opened his mouth and reached out with arge hand! With the power of the Xuanxian Realm unleashed, Wang Juan immediately cried out miserably, exploding into a mist of blood, with only his soul hurriedly fleeing back. ¡°Sect Master, save me!¡± Wang Juan¡¯s soul cried out for help. On the Wind Fire Sect¡¯s warship, Zhu Xuan¡¯s eyes zed with fury! ¡°Damn it, how dare you touch my people!¡± With a step forward, the terrifying might of a Heavenly Immortal exploded forth. The warships of the Taiyan Holy Land shook violently just from his step, their formation instantly thrown into disarray! Zhu Xuan advanced like a god towards the warship where the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were stationed. ¡°Kneel, and die!¡± He roared angrily. The Yuanyang Holy Lord¡¯s gaze darkened, and word byword, he said, ¡°The two alliance hierarchs of the Xuantian Alliance are here, you should immediately pay your respects, how dare you be disrespectful?¡± Zhu Xuan, however, sneered and said, ¡°Two alliance hierarchs? Two wretches, I will make them my ves!¡± His hand surged forward, reaching toward that warship! The terrifying Immortal Spirit Force formed a vast hand, immensely powerful! All the warships of the Taiyan Holy Land, including the one with Fire Spirit and the others, were nearly sted away! He intended to crush everyone on board in one squeeze! The faces of the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others changed drastically, ready to resist, but then Fire Spirit said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± She stepped forward and gently plucked the wooden hairpin from her hair, and with a forward thrust in mid-air, stabbed at the massive hand! The wooden hairpin struck out. Instantly, the encroaching vast hand dissipated its spiritual power, its immortal qi vanishing! The whole hand disappeared! ¡°No ¡± Zhu Xuan suddenly showed a trace of terror in his eyes as his arm exploded! Followed by his entire body! ¡°Bang, bang ¡ª¡± He turned into a gigantic firework, bursting into a blossom of blood! His fleeing soul escaped from the scene in haste, turning into a ray of light and fleeing far away! In an instant, the entire Wind Fire Sect¡¯s warship fell into utter chaos! ¡°No, how is this possible!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all over, utterly over; our sect master has been sted to just a fleeing soul?¡± ¡°Too terrifying, run, escape!¡± In a moment, all the warships hurried to turn around and flee! They dared not linger at all! Meanwhile. At the location of Central Province in Xuan Tianzhou. The Four Great Alliances faced off in the sky. Upon entering Xuan Tianzhou, the people from the Four Great Alliances encountered each other. For a moment, all sides restrained one another, creating a transient bnce. ¡°Heh heh, Daoist friends from Earth Spirit State, aren¡¯t your actions a bit too hasty?¡± The Alliance Hierarch of the Difeng Realm, Ning Tianhao, stood with his hands sped behind his back, watching the two Alliance Leaders of the Earth Spirit Alliance, Yin Xingde and Yue Poshan! ¡°Heh heh, this Xuan Tianzhou, our Earth Element Alliance also wants a share of the pie!¡± Alliance Leader Wu Mingshen from the Earth Element Alliance spoke out directly, nked by the White Tiger n Master, Bai Zhentian, and Shangguan Zhanyi from the Shangguan Family. ¡°Xuan Tianzhou must not be monopolized by a single party!¡± Alliance Leader Huang Shang from the Mysterious Character Realm also spoke in a sinister tone. Earth Spirit Alliance¡¯s Yin Xingde and Yue Poshan both had gloomy expressions. They had acted quickly enough, but to their surprise, they were still blocked by the other three alliances. ¡°Stall them, until the Wind Fire Sect takes down the Southern Territory. That is where the true essence of Xuan Tianzhou lies.¡± Yin Xingdemunicated telepathically to Yue Poshan. Yue Poshan nodded immediately, and with a smile said, ¡°Everything under heaven is driven by profit, since everyone is here, why don¡¯t we divide the interests?¡± ¡°Xuan Tianzhou is divided into five territories, we only want the Southern Territory.¡± He spoke. ¡°No, we want the Southern Territory!¡± Alliance Leader Wu Mingshen from the Earth Element Alliance objected immediately! ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve made some nice calctions, the focus of the Heavenly Realm is on Xuan Tianzhou, and the focus of Xuan Tianzhou is in the Southern Territory!¡± ¡°Does the Earth Spirit Alliance intend to monopolize the opportunity?¡± They all spoke in cold voices. In this period, they had already ascertained the situation in Xuan Tianzhou; the Southern Territory was the most special. Everyone believed that Xuan Tianzhou harbored great fortunes, and these fortunes were most likely in the Southern Territory! ¡°Firste, first served, what if the Southern Territory is already our domain?¡± Yue Poshan spoke with an icy tone! Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces changed instantly. ¡°Could it be that you have already sent people to take down the Southern Territory?¡± Ning Tianhao, Alliance Leader of the Earth Wind Alliance, suddenly turned pale. The three alliances were instantly restless. The Southern Territory was too important to lose! ¡°Alliance Leader, save me???? ¡± At this time, suddenly, a mournful cry came. Everyone turned their heads, only to see a wisp of a remnant soul hurriedly flying in from the direction of the Southern Territory. In the next moment, the remnant soul arrived at the scene, transforming into a human figure that was unmistakably Zhu Xuan. His face was filled with fear as he said, ¡°Two Alliance Leaders, my physical body has been destroyed¡ please, take vengeance for me!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. ¡°Zhu Xuan¡ he is a Heavenly Immortal!¡± ¡°A Heavenly Immortal led a team to suppress the Southern Territory, and in the end, only a remnant soul returned? How is that possible?¡± ¡°Did the forces dispatched by the Earth Spirit Alliance run into a huge problem?¡± All the alliances were extremely surprised! Because, ording to their predictions, Xuan Tianzhou was originally just a Mysterious Character Realm. Its limit was that of Immortals, and even having a True Immortal was hard to amodate. But now, even a Heavenly Immortal who led people there had bled onto the battlefield, leaving only a remnant soul? This was truly terrifying. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Alliance Leader Yin Xingde of the Earth Spirit Alliance was extremely angry at this moment. The Wind Fire Sect was one of his most important forces! ¡°¡Those ants in Xuan Tianzhou have established a so-called Xuantian Alliance to resist us. They revere two young girls as alliance leaders, and I was injured by one of the girls with a treasure hairpin to this extent¡¡± Zhu Xuan was full of unwillingness and resentment! Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked! ¡°Xuan Tianzhou actually dares to form an alliance? Are they asking for death?¡± ¡°This is interesting, a girl holding a hairpin can destroy a Heavenly Immortal?¡± ¡°Xuan Tianzhou is indeed not simple.¡± Members from the Four Great Alliances were all speaking up. ¡°Such audacity!¡± Yue Poshan shouted in anger, ¡°To dare to strike at our alliance members so ruthlessly, Xuan Tianzhou might as well not exist anymore!¡± ¡°I say, march at full speed, and annihte this so-called Xuantian Alliance!¡± ¡°Let them pay the price!¡± But Yin Xingde¡¯s eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he suddenly said, ¡°Fellow Daoists, now that an alliance has emerged in Xuan Tianzhou, this alliance is ourmon enemy!¡± ¡°The ability to kill a Heavenly Immortal also means they could potentially threaten Golden Immortals!¡± ¡°We should coborate genuinely and take down Xuan Tianzhou first, then speak of the division of spoils!¡± Hearing this, all the alliances were nodding their heads. ¡°It should be so.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take down this territory together before anything else.¡± ¡°The presence of such treasures further proves the fortunes of Xuan Tianzhou are not shallow!¡± Suddenly, the Four Great Alliances reached a consensus. The massive armies of the Four Great Alliances moved mightily towards the Southern Territory! Chapter 120 - 111: Two Women Battle the Seven Great Golden Immortals 1 Chapter 120: Chapter 111: Two Women Battle the Seven Great Golden Immortals 1 Trantor: 549690339 Southern Territory, Taiyan Holy Land. The ranks of the Xuantian Alliance had reformed. Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others watched in stunned disbelief at the hairpin in Fire Spirit¡¯s hand! ¡°This hairpin¡ can it actually y a Heavenly Immortal? That¡¯s too terrifying¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao murmured. They had witnessed Fire Spirit use the hairpin to kill an Immortal from the upper realms before, but they never imagined that the hairpin could defy the heavens to the extent of killing a Heavenly Immortal. ¡°This wooden hairpin¡ contains thews of the Great Dao¡ It¡¯s extremely terrifying.¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke with gravity. Yet Fire Spirit simply said indifferently, ¡°This is a hairpin personally made by Senior Li.¡± Personally made! At these words, everyone fell silent, how could a treasure bestowed by that existence be ordinary? Their conviction in their own choice grew stronger. Choosing Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning as Alliance Hierarchs was akin to holding onto Senior Li¡¯s powerful support! ¡°Where is the Xuantian Alliance,e out!¡± At that moment, a booming voice had already risen. Above the Heavenly Domain, densely packed warships continued to appear. Warship after warship, each unimaginably terrifying, emitted an oppressive aura, among them were Profound Immortal level, Heavenly Immortal level and beyond! Seeing this scene, everyone from the Xuantian Alliance in the Taiyan Holy Land couldn¡¯t help but inhale sharply! ¡°Hiss!¡± There were too many people. At a nce, there were over a thousand warships. And the lowest of them were at the Profound Immortal level. Far too terrifying. On the side of Taiyan Holy Land¡ even the warships where Fire Spirit, Yuanyang Holy Lord, and others were located were only at the Immortal level. The difference was more than a little. Among the thousands of warships, one could even see four great gs fluttering in the wind. ¡°Earth Spirit Alliance¡±! ¡°Earth Element Alliance¡±! ¡°Earth Wind Alliance¡±! ¡°Xuanzi Alliance¡±! All Four Great Alliances hade! ¡°The Four Great Alliances have all arrived¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao felt a heavy sensation in his heart. ¡°At least the ones who havee are Immortals; is this the foundation of the Four Great Alliances? Too terrifying¡¡± ¡°The Earth Character Realm is already extremely powerful, not much inferior to some of the weaker citadels in the Immortal Domain¡¡± ¡°If not for the two Divine Maidens, we wouldn¡¯t even have the qualifications to talk to the other side¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming and others also began to speak, with very grave expressions. Thousands of warships directly surrounded the Taiyan Holy Land! ¡°I am Yue Poshan of the Earth Spirit Alliance!¡± Yue Poshan took a step forward, staring at Fire Spirit on the warship of the Taiyan Holy Land, and spoke icily, ¡°Was it you who killed Zhu Xuan, the supreme protector of my alliance?¡± Fire Spirit indifferently replied, ¡°What if it was?¡± ¡°How bold.¡± Yue Poshan¡¯s voice was ice-cold as he said, ¡°You¡¯re just a trivial Xuanxian, like an ant, do you really think that with one or two precious artifacts, you can challenge a giant dragon?¡± ¡°Kneel and ept death, offer up the treasures, and you can retain your whole corpse!¡± A naked threat. He looked down upon the entire Taiyan Holy Land. But Fire Spirit scoffed, ¡°Ridiculous. Did you really think you¡¯ve be the master of the Heavenly Realm?¡± ¡°Elsewhere, you can do as you please, but here in the Southern Territory, I advise you to observe a bit of decorum.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t a ce for you to run wild.¡± She was very calm! Yet, her attitude only served to infuriate Yue Poshan even more! ¡°Good, an arrogant girl, I want to see what capabilities you have!¡± He stepped forward, his hands moved, forming a terrifying mountainous seal. The mountainous seal was like it weighed tens of millions of tons, pressing down on the warship where Fire Spirit was! The might of a Golden Immortal was truly frightening, and where the seal passed, the space itself twisted and contorted! Fire Spirit took a deep breath, the wooden hairpin in her hand once again moved¡ª The hairpin left a faint trail in the air! Yet, the terrifying mountainous seal instantly split in two, and its essence exploded outward! She had broken the strike of a Golden Immortal! Seeing this, none of the Four Great Alliances were not shocked! ¡°Is that¡ is that a Quasi-Saintly Artifact?!¡± Yin Xingde¡¯s aged eyes narrowed, instantly emitting a fervent glow! ¡°Quasi-Saintly Artifact¡ it must be! Only a Quasi-Saintly Artifact could allow an Xuanxian Realm ant to withstand a strike from a Golden Immortal!¡± Wu Mingshen from the Earth Element Alliance had greed written all over his eyes. ¡°This object, our Earth Wind Alliance must obtain!¡± Ning Tianhao, the Alliance Hierarch of the Earth Wind Alliance, was determined to obtain it, and stepped forward saying, ¡°Hehe, girl, this thing is too dangerous, better hand it over to me!¡± With a wave of his hand, he made a grab for it! The spiritual energy of all directions transformed into a rainbow light, almost rolling Fire Spirit away. But Fire Spirit¡¯s hairpin moved again! A series of Golden Immortal rainbow lights were dissipated under her hairpin. Yue Poshan was also calm and collected as he made another move, for he had also set his sights on this wooden hairpin! Two great Golden Immortals were attacking a Xuanxian! Fire Spirit was like a dancing sprite, the hairpin in her hand her reliance, somehow contending with two great Golden Immortals, not at a disadvantage! ¡°Heh, you can fend off one or two, but can you fend off three or four?¡± At that moment, Wu Mingshen suddenly stepped forward. His ck robe transformed into a terrifying cloud of darkness that fell from the sky, enveloping the whole field! Another Golden Immortal had made a move! At this juncture, Fire Spirit was already doing her utmost. Another opponent would certainly overload her! Her cultivation level was rtively low to begin with, relying solely on the hairpin in her hand for support. But likewise, even though the hairpin was extremely powerful, there was a limit to how much she could stimte it. She couldn¡¯t easily kill these Golden Immortals in front of her, like the other Heavenly Immortals could. Now, with three people attacking her at the same time, she was immediately in great peril. But just then, atop the warship of the Taiyan Holy Land, another beautiful figure stood up. Mu Qianning took a step across space, appearing before the vast dark cloud, and she too removed the hairpin from her head! ¡ªIdentical to the one Fire Spirit had. She also used the hairpin to make a sh, and in an instant, the sky-blocking dark clouds were directly torn apart! ¡°What? Another Quasi-Saintly Artifact? How is that possible!¡± ¡°Incredible, this little Xuan Tianzhou is indeed full of treasures!¡± ¡°Take them down!¡± In an instant, everyone at the scene was excited. A single Quasi ¨C Saintly Artifact was already remarkable, enough to ignite a great war among Golden Immortals, and now another appeared! Who could remain unmoved? ¡°Sect Master, we havee to lend you a helping hand!¡± At this time, two other powerhouses from the Earth Yuan Realm, White Tiger n Master Bai Zhentian and Shangguan Family¡¯s Shangguan Zhanyi, instantly stood alongside Wu Mingshen. The terrifying aura of the three swept out. Three Great Golden Immortals! This caused shock amongst everyone present. The Earth Yuan Realm was so powerful! When the three of them took action together, the space was nearly twisted, and terrifying attacks, without mercy, bombarded towards Mu Qianning! ¡°Hehe, Brother Yue, let me aid you with a helping hand!¡± At that moment, Yin Xingde suddenly stepped forward, ghostly as ever, and in the next instant, appeared right beside Fire Spirit, extending his w-like hand! His speed was incredibly fast, unpredictable and nearly sessful in his attack. But, just then, a hazy pce manifestation appeared outside Fire Spirit¡¯s body, protecting her within it. ¡°Boom ¡± With a tremendous shock, Yin Xingde was sent flying backwards. It took him a great effort to stabilize his spirit, but a mixture of anger, surprise, and joy shed through his old eyes! ¡°Another Quasi-Saintly Artifact¡ No, what kind of pce is this, its grade seems to almost surpass a Quasi-Saintly Artifact!¡± In that moment, his old eyes were thoroughly aze with desire. And the others were instantly driven to madness. ¡°So many treasures? Heaven, we must capture these two women!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give them any chance!¡± ¡°Haha, treasures bestowed by the heavens upon us!¡± They all spoke out, and for a moment, countless mighty beings were ready to step out once again! ¡°Haha, I must obtain this object!¡± Yellow Shang, Alliance Hierarch of the Xuanzi Alliance, had been watching all along, but now he couldn¡¯t hold back any longer and leaped out. Where he passed, he actually brought up trails of yellow corpse water! Extremely bizarre! Yin Xingde pressed in once more! At this moment, four Great Golden Immortals were attacking Fire Spirit, while three Great Golden Immortals were attacking Mu Qianning! The situation was extremely dire! ¡°These scum, bullying too far!¡± ¡°Bullying the weak with strength, and the few with numbers, utterly shameless!¡± ¡°Is this what you call Alliance Hierarchs? A bunch of petty viins!¡± Aboard the warship of Taiyan Holy Land, Dugu Chenlu and the others were bursting with rage, mes of anger ring high! But at this moment, they were powerless to help! On the battlefield of Golden Immortals, they were not even Heavenly Immortals, and getting too close meant being swept into a mist of blood by the terrifying aftermath! The battle was fierce. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, with their hairpins in hand, were contending against a number of far stronger enemies. ¡°Hit!¡± With a loud shout from Huang Shang, he swung his palm heavily towards Fire Spirit, but likewise, the phantom image of the pce manifested again, blocking this strike for Fire Spirit! However, Fire Spirit¡¯splexion had turned pale at this moment, with droplets of sweat continually falling. ¡°I hate!¡± She uttered in a low voice. Despite the powerful treasures on her, she was unable to unleash their full potential. If her cultivation level had been higher, capable of invoking the full power of the hairpin, she believed these four Great Golden Immortals would die instantly! Simrly, Mu Qianning was also in grave danger. Apart from the three Great Golden Immortals, there were several old Heavenly Immortals sneak attacking her frequently! Mu Qianning was extremely anxious; her gaze suddenly caught sight of Fire Spirit being blown away under the joint hands of four Great Golden Immortals! ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er!¡± Mu Qianning cried out in extreme anxiety, infusing all her Spiritual Power into the hairpin and shing fiercely! A crack, almost reaching the void, instantly cut towards the three Great Golden Immortals, who all became extremely grave and hurriedly retreated far away! But two of the old Heavenly Immortals failed to dodge in time and had their souls extinguished instantly, screaming miserably! Mu Qianning immediately rushed to Fire Spirit¡¯s side, grabbed hold of her, and said, ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, are you alright?¡± Fire Spirit shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡ but I¡¯ve exhausted my Spiritual Power!¡± Her face was deathly pale! After all, she was bearing both the burden of the hairpin and the hidden Li Tian Divine Pce within her! ¡°Even with treasures in hand, you can¡¯t stop us!¡± ¡°Continuing like this, we will drag both of you to death!¡± ¡°Hand over the treasures obediently!¡± Seven Great Golden Immortals closed in together! A look of greed and ruthlessness was written all over their faces. Mu Qianning looked at the seven Great Golden Immortals, her beautiful eyes shing with hatred, and said, ¡°If not for Senior Li¡¯s edict, Sister Ling¡¯er and I would¡¯ve suppressed you long ago!¡± Upon hearing this, the seven Great Golden Immortalsughed even harder. ¡°Haha? An edict? Ridiculous, if you can¡¯t win, you think you can scare us off by unting reputed authority?¡± ¡°Just you two want to suppress us? Ants dreaming of ying a dragon?¡± They were utterly unrestrained! Mu Qianning, harboring a murderous intent in her heart, really wanted to bring out the piece that once pierced the Immortal Domain, ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,¡± but she still controlled herself and took out another piece. ¡°This, is the edict from that Senior¡ª¡± Thereupon, she tossed the paper into the air! Immediately, the paper rose into the air, slowly unfolding! At that moment, everyone present felt a terrifying presence. It was as if a supreme Law was unfolding. As if a great power from ancient times was manifesting! An invincible air instantly caused the Four Great Alliances and all the strong beings present to be shocked beyond measure! Everyone fixed their gaze on that piece of paper in the air. On that sheet of paper, fourrge characters slowly appeared: ¡®Value Peace Above All¡ª Chapter 121 - 112 Senior Li Issues an Edict 1 Chapter 121: Chapter 112 Senior Li Issues an Edict 1 Trantor: 549690339 | Upon a thin sheet of Xuan paper, high above the Sky Domain, fourrge characters seemed to appear before the eyes of the world! At that moment, everyone present was incredibly shocked. Because in those four characters, each and every one inly contained supreme Dao power beyond measure! Every stroke, every line, was like an extension of the Dao itself, akin to a supreme rule, eternal and unchanging in this world! This terrifying aura caused everyone in the scene to feel an urge to bow down in veneration! ¡°What is this¡ who wrote it!? It¡¯s too terrifying¡¡± ¡°Is this really an edict from some supreme being? It makes one utterly unable to harbor any thoughts of defiance¡¡± ¡°Heaven, who could write such characters? Could it be that the Southern Region of Xuantian State is hiding an extraordinary power from the Immortal Realm?¡± In an instant, people from the Four Great Alliances began to voice their suspicions. These four characters were intimidating to the soul. Even the Seven Great Golden Immortals had expressions of utter astonishment at this moment. The higher their realm, the more profoundly they could appreciate the terror of these four characters. ¡°This¡ this¡ could it truly be the legendary Supreme Edict?¡± Yue Poshan muttered to himself. ¡°It is said in the world that there are supreme beings whose words follow the Dao; their speech bes an edict, not to be defied¡¡± Yin Xingde also spoke in a low voice, thinking of many frightening legends. ¡°But those capable of inscribing a Great Dao Decree are without exception legendary figures. There are none in the Lower World, unless¡ unless it is someone from the era of the First Heavenly Realm!¡± Wu Mingshen¡¯s eyes flickered uncertainly as he suddenly thought of something and murmured, ¡°The new world of today is also called the Heavenly Realm, isn¡¯t it? Could it be that some old undying being from the ancient First Heavenly Realm period is in seclusion here?!¡± The others also came to this realization! ¡°This edict must have something to do with the First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°If someone from the First Heavenly Realm capable of inscribing a Great Dao Decree were to appear, even the Immortal Domain would tremble.¡± ¡°Indeed, after all, in the past, the First Heavenly Realm was able to challenge the Immortal Domain, even witnessing the battles of the Immortal Kings¡¡± Countless people wore extremely solemn expressions! And the likes of the Yuanyang Holy Lord were also astounded. ¡°This is an edict bestowed by Senior Li¡ Does he mean that we should value peace and must not let war ravage the Heavenly Realm again?¡± ¡°Possibly¡¡± They muttered among themselves. ¡°Now, do you believe it?¡± Mu Qianning took a deep breath when she saw everyone¡¯s expressions and said, ¡°That senior bestowed an edict,manding the beings of the Heavenly Realm to cease stirring the mes of war!¡± In fact, she had discussed this with Fire Spirit before. If Senior Li had issued such an edict, they must not utilize any terribly fearsome artifacts, such as the terrifying calligraphy of ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens¡±. If they were to bring it out, it was likely that everyone from the Four Great Alliances would be annihted. It was simply a weapon of mass destruction, far too horrifying. But if they directly presented Senior Li¡¯s edict for peace, they might be met with doubt and contempt. Hence, they had to fight a battle first. Show the Four Great Alliances that Xuan Tianzhou was by no means easy to bully and that they had the strength to y Heavenly Immortals and contend with Golden Immortals. Only then would discussing peace have significance. Peace is based on the strength of both sides; it is earned through battle. The weak do not have the right to beg the strong for peace. So now that the great battle had drawn to a close, she then brought out the edict! At these words, the Seven Great Golden Immortals from the Four Great Alliances all wore extremely grave expressions. ¡°This senior you speak of¡ who might he be?¡± Yue Poshan questioned in a grave tone, his words tinged with fear. Mu Qianning enunciated each word, saying, ¡°That senior lives reclusively among the mundane, unconcerned with world affairs. You have no right to inquire into his identity!¡± You have no right to inquire! On hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces stiffened even further. Instead of feeling insulted, Mu Qianning¡¯s words seemed only natural to them. Inparison to a being capable of issuing a Supreme Edict of the Dao, they¡ indeed had no right to inquire! Truly none! ¡°No right to inquire¡ How could there be such an existence in the Heavenly Realm?¡± Wu Mingshen murmured, his heart already retreating at this moment! Whatever existence was in the Southern Territory, if they could issue a Great Dao Edict, they were beings that could not be defied! ¡°To value peace above all¡ Since such a being has already passed down the edict, we can only withdraw¡¡± Shangguan Zhanyi murmured as well. ¡°It¡¯s really disheartening¡ but presuming to offend might well invite disaster that could lead to our n¡¯s extinction¡¡± Even Yin Xingde spoke with difficulty, turning to Yue Poshan and saying, ¡°Peace is precious, and further battle serves no purpose. It¡¯s time for us to depart.¡± Yue Poshan¡¯s face darkened, and he fell silent. This, it seemed, had be the only choice! Seeing that the Four Great Alliances already harboured thoughts of retreat, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others also breathed a long sigh of relief. Avoiding this battle was truly the best oue. ¡°Before the edict bestowed by Senior Li, no one dares not toply!¡± They spoke excitedly. But, just at this moment, a voice like that of a night owl sneered: ¡°Heh heh, what a splendid y, truly a splendid y!¡± Huang Shang strode forward step by step, a dismissive smile on his face as he looked at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning and said, ¡°For this y, you truly have exhausted every trick in the book!¡± His words filled the crowd with confusion. ¡°Huang Shang, brother Dao, what do you mean? Do not implicate us in the face of the edict!¡± Ning Haotian spoke in a deep voice. ¡°Yes, offending such an existence, even if we¡¯re Golden Immortals, we would face catastrophic disaster!¡± Even Yin Xingde was admonishing them! The very existence that could issue such an edict had already instilled deep fear in their hearts. ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Huang Shang waspletely uncaring as he said, ¡°To think you all, each one an Alliance Hierarch, all Golden Immortals, could be deceived by such a trick?¡± He sneered, ¡°If in the Southern Territory, there truly existed a terrifying causal being, would he waste a Great Dao Decree on us ants? Are we worthy?!¡± Pointing at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, he continued: ¡°Moreover, if there truly were such a terrifying existence, would his ranksck Taiyi Golden Immortals or even Daluo Golden Immortals? Why would he send two mere Profound Immortals to transmit his edict, as if he couldn¡¯t find a single Golden or Heavenly Immortal?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you find it odd?!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone from the Four Great Alliances suddenly changed their expressions! ¡°Right, this¡ there are indeed suspicious points!¡± ¡°Exactly, I felt that there was something strange just now, and now I understand. A supreme being letting two mere Profound Immortals transmit his edict? Impossible!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, I was just thinking, we lowly worms, ants, trash, how could we possibly be worthy of a supreme being issuing an edict for us¡ Something is fishy!¡± Everyone instantly came to a sudden realization! ¡°But, this edict clearly contains supreme Dao power¡ This cannot be faked!¡± At this time, an old Heavenly Immortal challenged. ¡°Ignoramus!¡± Huang Shang sneered, ¡°The edict is indeed real, but, it¡¯s definitely not written by someone alive today!¡± ¡°The only exnation is that these two youngdies came across some secret cache in the First Heavenly Realm and obtained a Quasi-Saintly Artifact, along with this edict.¡± ¡°They¡¯re using an edict from countless ages ago to scare us!¡± He was absolutely certain! Hearing his words, everyone felt as if they had been awoken from a grand dream! All of them showed a look of suddenprehension. ¡°It must be so!¡± ¡°If not for the wisdom of the Xuanzi Alliance Hierarch, we would truly have been frightened by this edict!¡± ¡°Right, there isn¡¯t such an existence in the Lower World, it must be a treasure left by the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± People began speaking one after another, realizing the truth, they all quickly advanced towards the Taiyan Holy Land¡¯s formation! After all, Huang Shang¡¯s words not only proved the ¡°terrifying existence¡± did not exist but also confirmed that there was a great opportunity in the Southern Territory, treasures left by the First Heavenly Realm! They must obtain it! ¡°Faking an edict, attempting to deceive Golden Immortals, you two vile women have some nerve!¡± Earth Wind Alliance Hierarch Ning Haotian suddenly reacted, stepping forward and ring at the two Fire Spirits! ¡°Heh, you almost managed to trick us, but nowyour plot has been exposed. Speak, where is the treasure of the First Heavenly Realm!¡± Wu Mingshen, too, with a flick of his ck robe, saw the ck clouds reappear! Great battle, was on the verge of breaking out. ¡°You¡ You have some nerve, to ignore Senior Li¡¯s edict like this!¡± Mu Qianning¡¯s face turned pale with anger; she had never imagined someone would dare to question Senior Li. Fire Spirit was secretly gripping the calligraphy of ¡°One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,¡± her voice grave, ¡°Words are useless, if they dare to make a move, we will have no choice but to eliminate them!¡± ¡°Heh, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t believe you,dies.¡± At this time, Yin Xingde chuckled coldly and said, ¡°It¡¯s just that, we would like to meet this Senior, is that possible? Hahaha! Such a defiant senior wouldn¡¯t be afraid to meet us, would he?¡± ¡°Perhaps, upon seeing us, he will flee in terror?¡± His arrogance knew no bounds! ¡°You¡ how dare you!¡± Mu Qianning could no longer restrain herself. She would not tolerate such nder against Senior Li! ¡°Sister Ling¡¯er, kill them!¡± Even someone as kindhearted as she could no longer bear it. Fire Spirit was slowly drawing out the calligraphy piece! ¡°You think you are worthy to meet Senior Li?¡± Just at that moment, a clear, elegant yet indifferent voice suddenly rang out! It reached the hearts of everyone present! Instantly, everyone turned their gazes towards the source of the voice. They saw a woman in white, with white hair, stepping leisurely forward. She seemed detached from the world, like an iceberg, yet her demeanor was almost too intimidating to look directly at! (Who do you guess it is? Guess correctly, and there will be an extra release.) Chapter 122 - 113: Lord of the Heavenly Realm 1 Chapter 122: Chapter 113: Lord of the Heavenly Realm 1 Trantor: 549690339 I ¡°From nowhere in particr, a woman d in white suddenly appeared, drawing the gaze of everyone present.¡± ¡°Her snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall from heaven, her demeanor cold and aloof, yet she possessed an awe-inspiring aura that made it difficult for others to look directly at her!¡± ¡°Who is this person?¡± ¡°When did she approach our military formation, and howe we didn¡¯t feel anything?¡± ¡°This person¡ is unfathomable, at least beyond a Heavenly Immortal!¡± ¡°For a moment, members of the Four Great Alliances were all extremely astonished.¡± ¡°Even the Seven Great Golden Immortals fixed their eyes on the woman, their own eyes revealing a look of surprise!¡± ¡°This person¡ even we can¡¯t see through her?¡± ¡± Wu Mingshen was taken aback and said, ¡°Could she possibly be above a Golden Immortal? Impossible!¡± ¡°How could there be such an existence in the Xuan Tian Realm?¡± ¡°Yue Poshan¡¯s pupils constricted even more!¡± ¡°As the woman approached, the Seven Great Golden Immortals subconsciously stepped back!¡± ¡°She directly forced the Seven Great Golden Immortals to retreat!¡± ¡°Upon seeing this, everyone at the scene took in a sharp breath of cold air.¡± ¡°What kind of existence is she?¡± ¡°Meanwhile, the people of Xuan Tianzhou were also incredibly surprised as they watched the woman.¡± ¡°Is this¡ Jiang Xue, the Fairy?¡± ¡°Yuanyang Holy Lord eximed in shock!¡± ¡°Jiang Xue, the Fairy, had been missing since the day the Ascension tform of Cangli Mountain Range was destroyed and her request to be a disciple to Senior Li was rejected. Today, she has reappeared¡¡± ¡°Her cultivation level must have reached an unimaginable extent!¡± ¡°Saint Lord Ling Chao and others were also deeply shocked as they looked at her!¡± ¡°This woman, d in white, with white hair¡ was none other than Jiang Xue!¡± ¡°When the Cangli Mountain Range in the Southern Territory of Xuan Tian Realm opened vastly and the Ascension tform appeared, Jiang Xue, along with the Evil God of that time, were the only two Almost Immortals of their era.¡± ¡°However, at that time, Yu Chenbing of the Senluo Holy Land and others plotted to exterminate the beings of Xuan Tian Realm and seize the World Tree.¡± ¡°In the end, Li Fan ¡®One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens¡¯ calligraphy emerged, ying a True Immortal, piercing through the Immortal Domain; she admired him for it and wanted to be his disciple, but she was refused.¡± ¡°After that, no one knew where she went.¡± ¡°Now, she has reappeared!¡± ¡°You¡ who are you?!¡± ¡°Yin Xingde watched Jiang Xue with extreme wariness!¡± ¡°Jiang Xue, appearing in the center of the venue, was so indifferent on her face. Looking at Yin Xingde, word byword, she said:¡± ¡°Just now, you showed disrespect to Senior Li. Therefore, I grant you death!¡± ¡°She raised her hand!¡± ¡°You dare!¡± ¡°Yin Xingde felt a tremendous threat, his whole body bristling, bursting forth with all his might as Immortal Spiritual Power surged like a vast ocean!¡± ¡°However, Jiang Xue simply lowered her raised hand indifferently.¡± ¡°Alt¡ª¡± ¡°In an instant, Yin Xingde let out a scream of agony, the sea of his Spiritual Power evaporated, and he himself cracked open from the skull, inch by inch!¡± ¡°Finally, with a miserable scream, Yin Xingde, a Golden Immortal of his generation, turned into a pile of corpse fragments!¡± ¡°Both body and spirit destroyed!¡± ¡°At this moment, the entire ce suddenly went silent!¡± ¡°Thousands of warships of the Four Great Alliances, countless Heavenly Immortals and Profound Immortals were all rendered speechless.¡± ¡± Looking at Jiang Xue in her white garb, none were not shocked and fearful!¡± ¡°Heavens, this¡ A Golden Immortal exterminated with a mere hand raise? What realm has she reached?¡± ¡°This kind of existence, even in the Earth Character Realm, could not appear, how did she do it¡¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s all over!¡± ¡°Everyone was shocked!¡± ¡°Yin Xingde was an immensely powerful Golden Immortal, yet he died just like that¡¡± ¡°That woman, just by raising her hand!¡± ¡°Terrifying, to an extreme!¡± ¡°And you.¡± ¡°Jiang Xue looked indifferently towards Huang Shang, and word byword, said: ¡°Neither human nor ghost, do you really think that because Senior Li doesn¡¯t wish to emerge, you can question his edict?¡± ¡°Today, I will let you thoroughly enter the Yellow Springs.¡± ¡°She spoke with a cold voice.¡± ¡°Upon hearing this, Huang Shang¡¯s face showed an extremely frightened expression, and he suddenly turned to flee, transforming into a rainbow light, attempting to tear through the fabric of space and escape!¡± ¡°Faced with Jiang Xue, he dared not fight!¡± ¡°He only wanted to flee.¡± ¡°But, with just a point of Jiang Xue¡¯s finger,¡± ¡°Instantly, the void exploded, space obliterated into a true void, and Huang Shang let out a ghost-like shriek!¡± ¡°His body disintegrated rapidly, turning into countless drops of yellow corpse fluid!¡± ¡°Death, but not to contaminate thend of the Southern Territory.¡± ¡°Jiang Xue spoke indifferently, waving her hand, and that yellow corpse fluid instantly evaporated!¡± ¡°It disappeared without a trace!¡± ¡°At this moment, the people in the venue were again astounded.¡± ¡°Astounded!¡± ¡°With a hand raise, she extinguished Yin Xingde; with a finger point, she slew Huang Shang!¡± ¡°Two Alliance Hierarchs, both Golden Immortals, just ended like that.¡± ¡°The remaining five Great Golden Immortals were extremely shaken.¡± ¡°The rest of the Heavenly Immortals and others were even more terrified!¡± ¡°Anyone else refuses to ept this?¡± ¡°Jiang Xue asked indifferently, sweeping her gaze over all the remaining people including Wu Mingshen, Yue Poshan, and others, saying:¡± ¡°Just now, you seven Golden Immortals joined forces to attack two girls of the Xuanxian Realm, quite domineering of you!¡± ¡°Now, I give you all a chance, everyone from the Four Great Alliances, whether you are Golden Immortals or Heavenly and Profound Immortals,e at me together ¡± ¡°She openly issued a challenge to everyone from the Four Great Alliances!¡± ¡°The people of the Four Great Alliances, however, all changed color!¡± ¡°No one stepped forward, instead, many people instinctively backed away at this moment!¡± ¡°Wanting to flee!¡± ¡°Everyone was clear, if she could so easily y Golden Immortals, this woman in front of them¡ very likely had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!¡± ¡°Taiyi Golden Immortal¡ For those from the Lower World, it was an entity to be revered from afar!¡± ¡°Between Immortals, each minor realm gap was an insurmountable gulf, not to mention the difference between Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals!¡± A Taiyi Golden Immortal can annihte myriad realms! Golden Immortal? Heavenly Immortal? Profound Immortal? Even if millionse, they can only bring about their own deaths! This is the power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal! This is the insurmountable gulf! Remaining Golden Immortals such as Ning Tianhao, Yue Poshan, and the other five were trembling upon hearing these words. They trembled uncontrobly. ¡°No¡ no¡ no!¡± Wu Mingshen cried out, suddenly dropping to his knees! ¡°I was wrong, I was wrong¡ Please do not kill me, do not kill me, I am willing to honor the Great Dao Decree of that senior and will never again draw weapons in the Heavenly Realm!¡± He hurriedly spoke, scared out of his wits! ¡°I am also willing, I swear, to leave this ce immediately and never set foot in Xuan Tianzhou ever again!¡± Yue Poshan too dropped to his knees directly, drenched in cold sweat, bowing his head in submission, ready to die! The rest, like Shangguan Zhanyi, Bai Zhentian, and the ranks of other Golden Immortals, all knelt down at once! They were all pleading for mercy! Seeing this scene, everyone from the Four Great Alliances was also shocked. What followed was a scene that left everyone agape! The Four Great Alliances, with thousands of warships and tens of thousands of troops, suddenly all knelt down! Golden Immortals on their knees, Heavenly Immortals prostrating, Profound Immortals shaking! All of them, everyone knelt down! ¡°I was wrong, please do not kill me, do not kill me, ah!¡± ¡°I should not have questioned the decree of that senior, please spare us!¡± ¡°We are willing to promote peace and will never again take up arms!¡± They were making promises, begging! They knew that they had made a grave mistake, showing disrespect to a supreme existence, a sin for which even a thousand deaths would not be redemption enough! Only by beseeching might they have a slim chance of survival! The scene fell silent. Completely silent. The people from the Southern Territory, including the Yuanyang Holy Lord, were dumbfounded upon witnessing this. This was simply too incredible¡ The previously aggressive Four Great Alliances were now all kneeling in submission! Even Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, upon seeing this scene, hadplicated expressions on their faces. At this moment, Jiang Xue suddenly turned around, looked at Mu Qianning, and asked, ¡°Live, or die?¡± She posed the question. Mu Qianning was taken aback for a moment but then quickly realized she was being asked whether to grant death to the tens of thousands from the Four Great Alliances or to let them live. Life or death was right at Mu Qianning¡¯s thoughts¡ She was stunned, the sudden authority to decide thrown her way left her somewhat at a loss! But, she instantly understood, Jiang Xue was so powerful yet sought her opinion¡ for one reason alone! Senior Li! Because, Senior Li had shown her a favor¡ Jiang Xue surely wasn¡¯t showing her respect, but rather¡ Senior Li! ¡°Miss Qianning, we were wrong, please spare us¡ª¡± ¡°We are willing to serve Miss Qianning as our Alliance Hierarch!¡± ¡°Please give us a chance to live!¡± People from the Four Great Alliances also began to plead incessantly towards Mu Qianning! Mu Qianning was angry at heart, angry at these people for having dared to disrespect Senior Li¡¯smand¡ But seeing the sea of people kneeling down in the sky¡ Should she really order them all killed? Mu Qianning couldn¡¯t bring herself to make that decision. Blood, human lives¡ these were tens of thousands of people! At this moment, Fire Spirit gently took her hand, ¡°Qianning, listen to your heart.¡± Mu Qianning was silent for a very long time. Finally, she slowly lifted her head and said, ¡°Senior Li said, ¡®It is better to be harmonious¡¯¡ If they are killed, where is the harmony?¡± ¡°Please, Immortal Jiang Xue, grant them life.¡± ¡°But, though the death penalty can be avoided, the crime cannot escape¡ In this life, they may not step into Xuan Tianzhou!¡± Upon hearing this, people from the Four Great Alliances all felt as if they had been granted amnesty! ¡°Thankyou, Qian Ning, the Divine Maiden, for themand!¡± ¡°We are eternally grateful!¡± ¡°For the rest of our lives, we will abide by the divinemand and will not step into this territory again!¡± They all spoke in turn, extreme gratitude in their voices! Just being alive was the greatest fortune! As for what Mu Qianning said about not setting foot in Xuan Tianzhou for the rest of their lives¡ even if Mu Qianning hadn¡¯t said it, they wouldn¡¯t daree here again. This ce was too terrifying!! Jiang Xue nodded indifferently and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Then, she turned to leave. ¡°May I ask, miss¡ are you perhaps the disciple of that senior?¡± At this time, from the crowd of the Four Great Alliances, an elder suddenly asked Jiang Xue with excitement, ¡°Moreover, may I be so bold as to ask, what is the honorific title of that senior?¡¡± This elder was d in formal attire, but his aged eyes were filled with anticipation and unease, as if this answer meant a great deal to him. ¡°Are people from Huangtian State mad? They dare to ask for the name of that senior?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get us killed along with you!¡± ¡°Ji Yuanqing¡ have you gone mad? Don¡¯t seek death!¡± Instantly, people from the Four Great Alliances chastised anxiously, fearing that the elder from Huangtian State would anger Jiang Xue! However, Jiang Xue did not turn her head, her tranquil voice rang out, ¡°Disciple? I don¡¯t have such good fortune. I simply have his senior¡¯s permission to cultivate in his secluded abode¡¡± In her speech, there seemed to be a profound sense of loss! ¡°As for his honorific¡ perhaps now, you might address him as¡¡± ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm.¡± The Lord of the Heavenly Realm! Chapter 123 - 114: Eternal Old Monster?_1 Chapter 123: Chapter 114: Eternal Old Monster?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Lord of the Heavenly Realm! Jiang Xue had already left, but her indifferent words, the four characters she left behind, shook everyone present once again. ¡°Lord of the Heavenly Realm¡ What a revered title!¡± ¡°To dare to im the title of Lord of the Heavenly Realm¡ Could it be that the reason Xuantian Realm was able to devour the Hundred Worlds was because of his existence?¡± ¡°These four characters, they contain great causality¡ I fear, this terrifying existence truly has ties to the legendary First Heavenly Realm, absolutely so!¡± Everyone was shocked. ¡°It turns out to be the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. It seems that the merger of the Hundred Worlds is just the beginning, and what follows will inevitably involve more unimaginable beings¡¡± ¡°Ridiculous, we actually dared to contend with Xuantian Realm in front of an existence from ancient times, truly like clowns jumping on the beam.¡± Each and every Golden Immortal was feeling even more bitter at this moment. They thought that the fusion of the Hundred Worlds would be their stage to gallop across, that it would be their world. Who would have thought, they were but ants! ¡°Enough, with such a predecessor present, Xuan Tianzhou truly deserves to be the center of the Heavenly Realm. From now on, our Earth Spirit Alliance will never be enemies with Xuan Tianzhou!¡± Yue Poshan spoke out, immediately waving his hand and saying, ¡°Back to Earth Spirit State!¡± ¡°I, Wu Mingshen, will keep my promise. From this life onward, I will never set foot in Xuan Tianzhou again.¡± Wu Mingshen of the Earth Element Alliance bowed first toward the direction Jiang Xue had left, then deeply bowed to Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, saying, ¡°Thankyou, Alliance Leader Qianning, for sparing our lives!¡± Mu Qianning shook her head and said, ¡°It was Senior Li¡¯s mercy that spared your lives, valuing peace above all, that is his edict.¡± Wu Mingshen nodded deeply, saying, ¡°Wu Mingshen shall not bear arms nor stir up disputes for the rest of my life!¡± Having said that, he turned and left, with the likes of Bai Zhentian and Shangguan Zhanyi of the Earth Affinity Alliance following suit. ¡°Thank you!¡± Ning Tianhao of the Earth Wind Alliance expressed his thanks to Mu Qianning, and then immediately embarked on his journey. ¡°Alliance Leaders Ling¡¯er, Qianning, from now on, our Xuanzi Alliance will follow your lead. Should you issue anymands, we will surely obey!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not too presumptuous, we would like to follow under the banner of the Xuantian Alliance!¡± The sole Golden Immortal of the Xuanzi Alliance, Huang Shang, had already died. At this moment, several old Heavenly Immortals stepped forward, showing the utmost respect to Mu Qianning. After all, to survive in the Heavenly Realm, one must stick together. Now that their only Golden Immortal was dead, they were in an absolute disadvantage, and turning to the Xuantian Alliance was the best choice. ¡°Miss Qianning, why not absorb the Xuanzi Alliance into the Xuantian Alliance to further strengthen our forces?¡± At this time, Yuanyang Holy Lord whispered to Mu Qianning. Fire Spirit also said, ¡°That would be best, also preventing them from being devoured by the other Three Great Alliances.¡± Mu Qianning pondered for a moment and then replied, ¡°Good, from this day forward, you shall heed themands of the Xuantian Alliance!¡± Upon hearing this, the old Heavenly Immortals were overjoyed. ¡°Thankyou, Alliance Hierarch!¡± They spoke up directly, saying, ¡°We shall take our leave first. Should the Alliance Hierarch issue anymands, we will certainly obey!¡± With that, they, too, departed. The people from the Four Great Alliances had all left. Outside of Taiyan Holy Land, quietness was restored. ¡°I did not expect that such a cmity would be quelled just like that.¡± Saint Lord Lingchao voiced with some emotion. This was a strife that swept across the entire Heavenly Realm, with the Hundred States rising together and alliances waging war¡ If it weren¡¯t for Senior Li¡¯s edict, the war would likely have continued for hundreds of years! After all, it would be too difficult for the Four Great Alliances to determine a winner. By then, the creatures of the Hundred States of Heaven would be embroiled in it. And Xuan Tianzhou would be the first to bear the brunt, likely leading to the ughter of all its existing creatures. ¡°Senior Li is magnanimous at heart, otherwise, when the Hundred Worlds merged, with a single thought, he could have annihted the other billions of creatures.¡± Fire Spirit spoke indifferently, saying, ¡°From today onward, the Heavenly Realm may be at peace!¡± Mu Qianning also nodded, saying, ¡°That would be nice!¡± The warships in the sky all returned to Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Alliance Hierarchs, there is an elder seeking an audience with you!¡± Just as they had returned to the great hall, suddenly someone outside reported, saying, ¡°He ims to be from Huangtian State and has urgent matters!¡± Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning showed a hint of curiosity. ¡°Please.¡± Fire Spirit spoke. Shortly after, an old man walked in from the mountain gate, his clothes ragged as if he were a beggar, but his presence was also quite extraordinary. Just as he stepped into the great hall, his excitement was palpable, and he eximed, ¡°I pay my respects to both Alliance Hierarchs!¡± ¡°Senior, please rise,¡± Fire Spirit said, ¡°Senior hase here for what important matter?¡± They had already recognized that this elder was indeed the person who had asked Jiang Xue for Senior Li¡¯s honorific before her departure! ¡°Both Alliance Hierarchs, I am from Huangtian State, named Ji Yuanqing. The reason Ie is because¡ because of a matter of utmost importance!¡± As he spoke, he nced toward the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others present. ¡°Everyone here can be trusted, you may speak freely.¡± Fire Spirit noticed Ji Yuanqing¡¯s hesitation. Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing nodded and said, ¡°Both Alliance Hierarchs, have you ever heard of the ¡®First Heavenly Realm¡¯?¡± The First Heavenly Realm! Both Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning shook their heads nkly. ¡°The First Heavenly Realm?¡± Dugu Chenlu then spoke up, ¡°Are you referring to the legendary First Heavenly Realm that once waged a great war against the Immortal Domain?¡± Ji Yuanqing nodded and replied, ¡°Exactly!¡± ¡°Dugu Family Patriarch, you know of it?¡± Mu Qianning inquired. Dugu Chenlu nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard some legends¡ the million Lower Worlds are divided into ¡®Heaven,¡¯ ¡®Earth,¡¯ ¡®Mysterious,¡¯ and ¡®Yellow¡¯ four tiers, with many realms belonging to the Mysterious and Yellow Character Realms. The Earth Character Realm is much rarer, with only a handful among the hundreds of Lower Worlds¡¡± ¡°As for the Heavenly Realm, it¡¯s even more rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn. Out of the million Lower Worlds, only four Heavenly Realms have emerged!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s expressions turned solemn! The million Lower Worlds¡ but only Four Great Heavenly Realms! What sort of ratio was this? From the ratio alone, one could glimpse the special nature of the Heavenly Realms. ¡°And among the Four Great Heavenly Realms, legend has it that each had the power to challenge the Immortal Domain¡ Later, it was said that there was a great war, with the Immortal Domain striking against the Four Great Heavenly Realms. Three of the Heavenly Realms submitted to the Immortal Domain, and only the First Heavenly Realm fought to the death without surrendering¡¡± Dugu Chenlu said, ¡°Eventually, the First Heavenly Realm was destroyed, and the so-called supreme beings were all killed.¡± Everyone revealed a look of yearning. A Lower World that could challenge the Immortal Domain¡ But in the end, it waspletely annihted¡ ¡°The legend indeed speaks this way.¡± Ji Yuanqing also nodded and said, ¡°However, the First Heavenly Realm wasn¡¯t truly destroyed in its entirety!¡± ¡°Instead, it was shattered into many small realms!¡± He spoke with great emphasis, ¡°And these small realms, in their naming, will carry the words ¡®Heavenly Realm¡¯ tomemorate their former glory!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked! ¡°What? It¡¯s actually like this?¡± ¡°If this is true, doesn¡¯t it mean that Xuantian Realm¡ could very possibly be a part of the First Heavenly Realm?¡± They were all taken aback. ¡°Indeed so.¡± Ji Yuanqing confirmed, ¡°Ie from Huangtian Realm, and my ancestors, it seems, knew much about the First Heavenly Realm, hence they left behind many historical records¡ and my ancestors have confirmed that Huangtian Realm is also part of the First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°Now, the Hundred Worlds have been devoured by Xuantian Realm, and furthermore, the new world has been named as a Heavenly Realm¡ thus, I am nearly certain that Xuantian Realm originally must have belonged to the First Heavenly Realm, and moreover, might have been a very important domain within it!¡± ¡°And that senior from the Southern Territory¡ might just be the person my ancestors have been desperately searching for!¡± As Ji Yuanqing spoke, his eyes showed increasing excitement, and he said, ¡°Therefore, I wish to meet this senior!¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning and the others were visibly shaken! Xuantian Realm, to actually be a part of the First Heavenly Realm? This was almost too incredible¡ And Ji Yuanqing¡¯s exnation for Li Fan¡¯s identity left Yuanyang Holy Lord, Mu Qianning, and others feeling it was unbelievable. ¡°It¡¯s very possible indeed¡ This could exin why Senior Li, such an extraordinary figure, would choose to live in seclusion within the humble Xuantian Realm¡¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord murmured, his expression extremely grave. ¡°If so, the grand schemeid out by Senior Li is too terrifying¡ It concerns the First Heavenly Realm of the ancient era and even involves the Immortal Domain¡ This is a grand scheme for all of eternity!¡± Dugu Chenin¡¯s eyes shone brightly, his heart surging with emotion! ¡°If¡ Senior Li truly is the person that Ji Senior¡¯s ancestor has been searching for, and is indeed rted to the so-called First Heavenly Realm¡ then isn¡¯t he, an ancient and evesting creature?¡± Mu Qianning suddenly spoke up, her beautiful eyes filled withplicated emotions! Chapter 124 - 115 Is the Protagonist Born?_1 Chapter 124: Chapter 115 Is the Protagonist Born?_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Ji Yuanqing¡¯s words led everyone to daydream, spawning various imaginations about Li Fan¡¯s identity. ¡°Since both Alliance Hierarchs were able to pass down the edict from that senior, you must recognize the senior. That¡¯s why I took the liberty ofing back; I really¡ really wish to meet that senior once!¡± His words were filled with earnestness. ¡°Regarding this matter, we are not in a position to decide. We need to ask the senior¡¯s opinion first¡¡± However, Fire Spirit spoke up, saying, ¡°Please wait. If the senior is willing to see you, we will notify you then¡¡± Hearing this, Ji Yuanqing¡¯s face showed a touch of urgency as he said, ¡°The Alliance Hierarchs are unaware that, ording to the records of my ancestors, once the fragments of the First Heavenly Realm merge, the things hidden within each fragment world will attract each other, causing a tremendous upheaval. If that senior does not pay attention in time, it may lead to extremely terrifying consequences¡¡± ¡°Before I came to XuanTianzhou, several forbidden areas in Huangtian State had already shown signs of disturbance¡¡± Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning exchanged nces. At this moment, Yuanyang Holy Lord suddenly spoke up, ¡°How about this? Take this Transmission Crystal, Brother Ji. If there is any response from Senior Li, we¡¯ll inform you at once.¡± ¡°Also, you might want to take note of the coordinates of the teleportation array in Taiyan Holy Land, so you can reach us quickly in case of urgent matters!¡± Hearing this, Ji Yuanqing could only sigh deeply and said, ¡°Alright, if that¡¯s the case, I can only hope that the senior pays attention to the affairs of Huangtian State sooner rather thanter. Otherwise¡ ording to the ssics left by my ancestors, I¡¯m afraid it will lead to a massive mess¡¡± Having said that, he epted the Transmission Crystal and noted down the coordinates for the teleportation arrays of Thaiyan Holy Land and also left the coordinates for Huangtian State¡¯s teleportation array before turning to leave. ¡°Oh, right!¡± At that moment, Ji Yuanqing suddenly pped his forehead and turned around to say, ¡°I almost forgot. Alliance Hierarchs, ording to the ssics left by my ancestors, Huangtian State harbors a terrifyingly powerful treasure meant for those destined in the world. When the timees, if possible, could you please make a trip there?¡± ¡°Both of you are favored by that senior. Who knows, you might also be able to obtain that legendary treasure!¡± After speaking, he departed. After he left, the few people in the main hall all showed pensive expressions. ¡°Yuanyang Brother, do you have doubts about Ji Yuanqing?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao asked. Yuanyang Holy Lord shook his head, ¡°No, not only do I not doubt what he said, but I actually believe it very much!¡± The others were surprised to hear this. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, Yuanyang Brother, why let him leave?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord replied, ¡°Everyone, think about it. The Xuan Tian Realm has swallowed the Hundred Worlds and merged to form the Heavenly Realm. Who is behind this great undertaking?¡± ¡°It was orchestrated by Senior Li himself!¡± He said wistfully, ¡°What kind of person is Senior Li? Wouldn¡¯t he know the connection between the Xuan Tian Realm and the First Heavenly Realm? The fact that he named the new world the Heavenly Realm is proof enough.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, he surely must already be aware of the situation in Huangtian State.¡± ¡°If we were to bring Ji Yuanqing to see him, I fear it would displease Senior Li!¡± Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized the truth! That exnation made perfect sense. ¡°Yuanyang Brother, you¡¯ve thought this through thoroughly!¡± ¡°Mhm, we need to report to Senior Li first and act ording to his wishes.¡± ¡°However, we can¡¯t ignore the major event Ji Yuanqing mentioned is about to happen in Huangtian State¡¡± They spoke, and eventually, all eyes settled on Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit. Mu Qianning immediately said, ¡°We will go to see Senior Li right away!¡± The news of the Four Great Alliances¡¯ siege on Xuan Tianzhou, along with their subsequent retreat, spread quickly throughout the entire Heavenly Realm! All were shocked. ¡°What? The Four Great Alliances joined forces and were still defeated?¡± ¡°Not just that, but two Golden Immortals died!¡± ¡°It is said that an incredibly powerful being in the Southern Territory descended an edict¡ it¡¯s truly terrifying!¡± The entire Heavenly Realm was stirred. Everyone¡¯s eyes were on Xuan Tianzhou! At this moment. In the Northern Border of the Heavenly Realm! After being merged, Huangtian Realm became part of this vastnd, now known as Huangtian State. Although Huangtian State is not as expansive as the Mysterious Character Realm, it has undting mountains and primitive vegetation, exuding a wild charm! In thisnd, there were also various primitive fierce beasts and more. At this moment, at the foot of a boundless mountain range, in a small city. ¡°Nn Yanran, how could you treat me like this!¡± A young man¡¯s face was full of anger! He stood in a small valley, furiously pounding a wire-like tree with his fists until his hands were soaked in blood. ¡°Today you forsake me, Xiao Yan. Who¡¯s to say that one day I won¡¯t make you tremble in fear?!¡± ¡°Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, don¡¯t bully the youth for being poor!¡± He spoke bitterly. ¨C He was originally the rightful heir of the Xiao family in Qingyan City. But because his Spiritual Power wascking, he was considered worthless. Just one day prior, Nn Yanran, thedy betrothed to him of the Nn family, hade to call off the engagement! He was humiliated in public and forced to sign the annulment document. At this moment, he was filled with rage! Indignant towards fate! Afterward, he went to a nearby stream to wash his hands. But just as he was washing his hands, he suddenly felt as though he had fished something out of the stream. He picked it up and saw to his surprise that it was a segment of a phnx! The bone was crystal-clear and snowy white! ¡°Hm?What is this¡¡± Xiao Yan wondered. But in the next instant, that piece of bone suddenly vanished from the palm of his hand! He distinctly felt an additional concealed bone in his hand. ¡°Alt¡ what?¡± ¡°No? What kind of ghost thing are you? What ghost?¡± Xiao Yan eximed in shock. At that moment, an aged voice inside him spoke up, ¡°Ghost? I am¡ the ¡®First Immortal General¡¯ Yang Miechen from the Immortal Domain¡!¡± Immortal Domain? First Immortal General? Xiao Yan was stunned, eximing in disbelief, ¡°You are¡ an entity from the Immortal Domain?¡± ¡°Of course¡¡± The ancient voice inside him murmured, ¡°A hundred thousand years have passed¡ why have I awakened? Could it be that thing is emerging once again?¡± Following was a long silence, and after what felt like an eternity, the aged voice spoke again: ¡°Boy, do you want to change your fate? Do you want to be the protagonist of this world?¡± ¡°Given today¡¯s fateful encounter, I shall bestow upon you a blessing!¡± Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned, then excitement surged within him! ¡°Yang¡ Elder Yang, you¡ what can you help me with?¡± He asked tremblingly. ¡°Help you conquer this world!¡± The voice inside him said indifferently, ¡°Your constitution is too inferior. I shall first bestow upon you a gift!¡± The next moment, Xiao Yan¡¯s whole body trembled as a formidable Spiritual Power began to cleanse his body! His entire body glowed, and his cultivation level soared, breaking through from the Qi Refinement Ninth Heaven, which he had struggled to advance from, directly into the Golden Core Realm! ¡°I¡ I¡¯ve broken through to the Golden Core Realm?!¡± Xiao Yan was in shock, finding it utterly unbelievable! The leap was too terrifying, wasn¡¯t it? Now, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the family heads in Qingyan City! ¡°Golden Core? As insignificant as ants. In less than a month, I will make you ascend to immortality, be an ancestor, and dominate this realm!¡± The words of the ¡°First Immortal General¡± Yang Miechen echoed within him. In that moment, Xiao Yan had no more doubts, tears of gratitude welling in his eyes, he said, ¡°Thankyou, Senior. Thank you, Senior!¡± He clenched his fists, looked up at the sky, his eyes brimming with excitement and tears! ¡°Is this¡ my fortune?¡± ¡°I, Xiao Yan, am the true protagonist of this world!¡± ¡°Nn Yanran, just wait for me, the era of Xiao Yan hase!¡± he cried out! ¡°Don¡¯t get too carried away. If you want to be an immortal, you must listen to me!¡± The ¡°First Immortal General¡± inside continued to speak. ¡°Please give yourmand, Senior. Xiao Yan will definitelyply!¡± Xiao Yan now fully trusted this ¡°First Immortal General¡±. He firmly believed that this was his golden finger, that he was the unique protagonist of this world! ¡°Follow the stream upwards to an ancient battlefield, where a treasure is buried. Obtaining that treasure, you will dominate this realm¡¡± The words of Yang Miechen arose. Hearing this, Xiao Yan momentarily froze, then asked, ¡°Elder Yang¡ you mean to follow the stream upwards?¡± ¡°That seems to be¡ the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!¡± Burial Immortal Mountain Range! That was a forbidden ce in the Huangtian Realm! ¡°Burial Immortal Mountain Range¡ the name does indeed fit. Indeed, many immortals are buried there¡¡± Yang Miechen chuckled coldly a few times and then said, ¡°Just rest assured, I emerged from there. With me by your side, there¡¯s nothing you need to fear!¡± ¡°Once you obtain what lies within, I will teach you the method of integrating the Myriad Realms, allowing this realm and other Lower Worlds to merge. Keep searching¡ªif you manage to gather certain items, there won¡¯t be many in the Immortal Domain who could be your match!¡± He was veryposed! But, Xiao Yan exined, ¡°Elder Yang¡ The Huangtian Realm, a month ago, already merged with other Lower Worlds!¡± ¡°The new grand world that emerged is now known as the ¡®Heavenly Realm¡¯!¡± Upon hearing this, Yang Miechen inside him was suddenly taken aback, eximing in disbelief, ¡°What? This realm has already merged with other worlds and is named Heavenly Realm?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± He was no longerposed, and his words even carried a trace of panic. ¡°It¡¯s true¡ the center of the Heavenly Realm now is Xuan Tianzhou. A few days ago, the upper echelons of Huangtian State followed the ¡®Xuanzi Alliance¡¯ to wage war on Xuan Tianzhou¡¡± Xiao Yan continued to exin. Yang Miechen fell silent for a very long time. ¡°It seems that someone else has awakened before me¡¡± ¡°He has already begun to search for those few items¡¡± ¡°No, we absolutely cannot let the other party get there first!¡± Yang Miechen murmured and thenmanded immediately: ¡°Prepare to head to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range at once!!¡± Chapter 125 - 116 Trouble Arises in Huangtian Chapter 125: Chapter 116 Trouble Arises in Huangtian State_1 Trantor: 549690339 | Huangtian State. One of the most famous forbiddennds in Huangtian State is none other than the Burial Immortal Mountain Range! There are endless legends about this mountain range. The most widely known im is that this range was once an ancient battlefield where a great war among immortals happened, iming countless immortal lives. This is the graveyard of immortals. Outside the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, there are almost no sects, for the range is filled with an evil aura so thick that even Supremes find it hard to linger for long. However, the Dark Moon Sect is an exception. The Dark Moon Sect is one of the strongest forces in Huangtian State, and furthermore, it¡¯s located at the mouth of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range. The Dark Moon Sect is very mysterious. It is said that their method of cultivation is quite peculiar, taking advantage of the evil aura that permeates from the mountains for their practices. Furthermore, the disciples of the Dark Moon sect are all remarkably enigmatic, evoking dread among the people of the outside world! The Dark Moon Sect is situated at the mouth of the range, with several ancient temples facing the direction of the mountains. Recently, waves of invisible evil aura have be increasingly dense. This has caused the leaves on trees nearby to wither, turning the area into a scene reminiscent of autumn. At this moment, within the grand hall of the Dark Moon Sect. ¡°Sect Master,tely, the evil aura emanating from the Burial Immortal Mountain Range has grown even more intense, even containing a bizarre essence, which has greatly benefited the cultivation of all our disciples!¡± An elder in a ck robe embroidered with three dark-gold crescent moons spoke up. ¡°My guess is that deep within the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, a top-grade evil corpse may have been born¡ If we can acquire and refine it, our Dark Moon Sect¡¯s domination over the entire Heavenly Realm would be within reach!¡± Excitement and anticipation were inly written on the elder¡¯s face. In front of him sat another elder, also d in a ck robe. This elder was bald, but his long eyebrows drooped down heavily. The embroidery on his robe was that of a dark-gold full moon! His presence was gloomy and icy, like a corpse that had just emerged from hell. This man was Yin Yuanchen, the Sect Master of the Dark Moon Sect. ¡°Indeed¡ Organize a team immediately and explore the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!¡± Yin Yuanchen spoke coldly! ¡°Yes!¡± The elder promptly withdrew. After the elder left, Yin Yuanchen stood up and before long, he entered a secret chamber. In the chamber, there was nothing else, just a painting hanging on the wall. The scroll was grey-yellow with age, quaint and mottled, filled with the marks of time. Incredibly, the painting depicted an Immortal Pce! The pce was magnificent, surrounded by swirling Dao patterns, with various manifested Dao principles encircling the four sides of the Immortal Pce! It was grand and awe-inspiring. One could imagine just how splendid the scene depicted in the painting once was. ¡°The Burial Immortal Mountain Range¡ the ancient battlefield, but ording to ancient records, this ce used to be a Dao Pce. What exactly is hidden inside¡¡± Yin Yuanchen approached and suddenly stripped off the painting. Then, holding the scroll, he turned and left. Before long, the people of the Dark Moon Sect had already assembled in front of the pce gate. ¡°Follow me into the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!¡± He called out loudly! The entire Dark Moon Sect mobilized. Quickly, they began to venture deep into the Burial Immortal Mountain Range. As they barely set foot inside the mountains, weird and eerie sounds began to echo. It was as if countless resentful spirits werementing. The ck evil aura and yin qi almost solidified into a liquid, with ghostly shadows flitting about within it! ¡°Has this ce¡ awakened? Such a dense evil aura, I¡¯m almost breaking through on the spot!¡± ¡°Cultivating here for one day is as good as cultivating outside for an entire year!¡± ¡°Ah¡ªhave I broken through from the Hollow Void Realm into the Mahayana? The disciples of the Dark Moon Sect were all exceedingly shocked. Meanwhile, Yin Yuanchen took a deep breath. ¡°Be careful, there are many vengeful spirits here, don¡¯t get possessed¡ follow me!¡± He then spoke up. As they stepped further in, an indescribable sense of sheer terror grew more potent. It was as though they were approaching a devil about to awaken! They continued to move forward. Suddenly ahead, there came a wretched scream! Even though the disciples of the Dark Moon Sect were well-versed in the ways of the evil aura, they could not help feeling a chilling fear. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid!¡± In Yin Yuanchen¡¯s hand appeared a green crystal, casting a sickly green light to illuminate the hellish surroundings. Some of the resentful spirits were repelled by the glow. A few steps further on, they finally saw the scene before them- It was an extraordinarily weird sight. In front, amongst a pile of endless bones, stood a table made of white bones. On the tabley a chessboard. Opposite the board, there was no one. But from their perspective, on the white-boned chair sat a¡ blood-colored shadow! That blood-colored shadow seemed to be trying to lift the chess pieces from the bone table again and again, but every touch was like a soul-searing strike, eliciting a shrill scream! ¡°What¡ What is this?!¡± Yin Yuanchen eximed in shock. As if hearing their voices, the blood-colored shadow slowly turned its head. The moment the blood shadow turned, all the Dark Moon Sect cultivators present¡ let out ghastly wails. ¡°We¡ We can¡¯t move?¡± Someone cried out in surprise. Every one of the hundreds from the Dark Moon Sect was frozen in ce. ¡°Only those rich in vigorous life force can pick up the chess pieces¡ The Blood Shadow murmured softly, and the next moment, it vanished. ¡°Ah-¡± Dark Moon Sect, a young disciple suddenly trembled, and in the next moment, he was able to move again, his eyes filled with a bloody red glow! He was no longer himself! He walked over to the table made of bones and sat down. Then, he picked up a ck chess piece. The chess piece was ced down. Although there was no one sitting opposite, the chess piece moved on its own. Shortly after, the ck chess lost. The young disciple suddenly burst into a mist of blood. And the bloody shadow disappeared in a sh. Immediately afterward, another young disciple moved and stepped forward! In just an instant, this young disciple died once again! The third¡ The fourth¡ The heart of Yin Yuanchen, Sect Master of the Dark Moon Sect, was trembling. He realized that the eerily bizarre blood shadow had possessed a young disciple each time. Then, using their bodies to y chess! If the game was lost¡ they would die! Soon, everyone from the Dark Moon Sect died one after another! The young people were all dead. The blood shadow was almost frenzied, unable to defeat the white chess every time, driving it to extreme anger. It possessed body after body, even the aged elders did not escape! In the end, only Yin Yuanchen remained. ¡°No¡ do not, I don¡¯t want to die¡¡± Yin Yuanchen¡¯s entire body was stiff in fear. If he were given another chance to choose, he would rather die thane here! But the blood shadow paid no heed to his cries, the next moment, his body stiffened! Shortly after. ¡°Yin Yuanchen¡± walked out step by step amidst the aura of death and Yin Qi. His aura was so cold and evil to the extreme, his eyes even more so blood-red. ¡°Thinking you can stop me by setting up a chess game¡¡± ¡°Yin Yuanchen¡± spoke with full of resentment, suddenly clenching his fist tightly. ¡°I may not be able to break through this game, but there will always be someone in the world who can¡ª ¡± Suddenly, blood flowed from his clenched fist, seeping into the earth beneath his feet! At this moment, a series of massive cracks appeared in the Cangli Mountain Range! Terrifying auras burst forth from beneath the mountain range! The breath of the forbidden surged into the sky. The glimmer of treasures illuminated the Sky Domain. In this swath of sky, streams of ck Qi and trails of sacred light intertwined, hovering above the nine heavens! The terrifying spectacle could be seen throughout the entirety of Huangtian State¡¯s Northern Border! Huangtian State¡¯s Northern Border was shaken instantly. ¡°What is that?!¡± ¡°From the direction of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range¡ What has appeared there? What happened?¡± All Sect Gates were incredulously speaking. ¡°Has the Burial Immortal Mountain Range split open? Go and see, there might be a great opportunity hidden there!¡± The Saint Master of a Holy Land¡¯s eyes shone with light! ¡°Looking from afar, it seems both evil and sacred, there must be an incredible opportunity hidden in the midst of danger¡ Organize a team immediately and head there!¡± A family¡¯s head issued the order! Meanwhile, in the Northern Border, within a secluded mountain range. There were several low-slung houses with tile roofs, which were surprisingly filled with all kinds of books! At this moment, several young men in white were rapidly flipping through something in a sea of books. ¡°Hurry up with the reading. These ancient texts left by our ancestors must contain more secrets¡¡± The one urging them on was a tattered old man, none other than Ji Yuanqing! He had returned to Huangtian State. Although he had already shared his worries with Fire Spirit and others in Xuan Tianzhou, his own concern had not lessened one bit; these past few days, he had organized everyone in his n to scour through the texts! ¡°It¡¯s terrible, terrible¡ Patriarch, there¡¯s been a huge incident!¡± At this time, a young man in white ran in from outside, his expression panic- stricken. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Running about in such a panic, what kind of behavior is this?¡± Ji Yuanqing scolded him, immediately stepping out of the stone house, and in the moment he looked up, his entire being was struck with a mighty shock! His eyes narrowed in disbelief, eximing, ¡°How is this possible¡ The Burial Immortal Mountain Range has opened like this?¡± The young men in white in the stone houses walked out one after another, stunned upon witnessing the scene in the sky! ¡°Patriarch, what is happening? What does this mean?¡± ¡°The opening of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, is the prophecy of our ancestorsing true?¡± ¡°No¡ the arrival of blood and chaos? Will this world be submerged in blood? From the Immortal Domain to the Myriad Realms, are we facing the copse of heaven and earth¡¡± The young people spoke one after another, their words trembling with fear! Meanwhile, Ji Yuanqing murmured, ¡°The ancestor once said¡ The opening day of the Burial Immortal Mountain Range marks the return of the ¡®Immortal King¡¯¡ An era filled with blood and chaos is ultimately about to descend, isn¡¯t it?¡± He let out a deep, long sigh and said, ¡°Immediately send a message to the Heavenly Realm, invite young heroes from all sides to seize the opportunity at the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!¡± The surrounding disciples nodded their heads, getting into motion at once, their Transmission Crystals lighting up and sending messages across different states¡ ¡°Another prophecy by the ancestor, the emergence of the Immortal King brings blood and chaos, yet it also brings hope; the one who seizes the opportunity within will rise with great momentum, quell everything, and establish the First Heavenly Realm anew¡ I hope we find this person soon! Ji Yuanqing¡¯s aged eyes were filled with a profound concern! The news from Huangtian State swiftly spread to the various states of the Heavenly Realm! It caused a sensation throughout the Heavenly Realm! Chapter 126 - 117: A Song Turns One into a Chapter 126: Chapter 117: A Song Turns One into a Heavenly Immortal_i Huangtian State, news had already spread to all territories. Countless Holy Ground Sects, in an instant, were all rushing towards the Northern Border! The Burial Immortal Mountain Range was too famous in Huangtian State, legends imed that numerous immortals had fallen there. In the lengthy history of the Huangtian Realm, countless Integration Period Honored Ones and Supremes had entered that mountain range, seeking to find the opportunity to be immortals. Some had emerged with items of exceptional wonders, which once caused a sensation throughout the entire Huangtian Realm. Moreover, the ¡°Ji n¡¯s¡± prophecy had also been circted within a certain extent! So, this time, the many forces in Huangtian State all knew¡ a great opportunity had appeared! At the same time, the news also swiftly spread from Huangtian State to other states! Earth Spirit State. ¡°Alliance Leader Yue, an urgent message has arrived from Huangtian State, iming that there is an ancient battlefield in Huangtian State that has revived, containing an unparalleled opportunity, but only the younger generation is eligible topete for it. Ji Yuanqing invites all the young elites within our alliance to go!¡± An old Heavenly Immortal reported with great solemnity in his eyes. ¡°Huangtian State¡ originally named Huangtian Realm, carrying the words ¡®Heavenly Realm¡¯ in its name, it mustn¡¯t be simple¡¡± Yue Poshan pondered with a spark in his eyes, speaking, ¡°Notify immediately, all Sects within the alliance, to select their best disciples to go!¡± Diyuan State. ¡± What? An unsurpassed opportunity has emerged in Huangtian State?¡± Supreme Protector Shangguan Zhanyi was taken aback and spoke, ¡°I once saw a fragmented scroll that mentioned a Dao Pce ruin within Huangtian Realm, containing a supreme opportunity. Could this be it?¡± ¡°No matter what it is, we must participate. After all, this is very likely rted to the First Heavenly Realm!¡± The White Tiger n Master Bai Zhentian spoke gravely, stating, ¡°I will send a member of my n to go!¡± Alliance Leader Wu Mingshen also nodded, saying, ¡°Send the orders, organize the youth elite, and head to Huangtian State!¡± Difeng Realm. Ning Tianhao immediately summoned all the Supreme Protectors after receiving the news through the Transmission Crystal. ¡°We cannot miss this grand opportunity!¡± ¡°We must go immediately!¡± He promptly gave themand! Xuanming Province. ¡°Sect Leader Chen, what do you think of this matter?¡± Several old Heavenly Immortals were discussing when everyone turned their gazes to a slender-looking old man. This elder was Chen Qiu Hai, the Sect Master of the Bright Light Sect. Ever since Huang Shang courted death and was annihted, he became the acting Alliance Hierarch within the Xuanzi Alliance. Chen Qiu Hai pondered for a long time and said, ¡°This matter may very well be rted to the stability of the Heavenly Realm, let¡¯s inquire with the two Alliance Hierarchs of Xuan Tianzhou before making a decision!¡± ¡°Someone, transmit a message to inquire immediately!¡± Xuan Tianzhou, Southern Territory, Cangli Mountain Range. In the small mountain vige. Li Fan leisurely sipped his tea. After a period of umtion, his disciples had all already found the right path in their respective Dao. Li Fan only needed to provide some guidance when they faced doubts, leading them in the right direction. In teaching his disciples, Li Fan always believed that letting them explore on their own was the best way. If everything had to be personally attended to, step by step, even if they learned, they would be nothing more than mediocrity. Nan Feng¡¯s qin music began to y, and as the first note sounded, everyone in the courtyard couldn¡¯t help but stop in their tracks. Because within her music, that sense of killing intent affected almost everyone! Even the most tranquility-renowned Sweeping Monk Qing Chen and Fish Watching Guest Long Zixuan couldn¡¯t help but look over. They felt that around Nan Feng, a domain had formed from her music notes! A killing domain no one could enter! Each note was like a sharp de capable of destroying everything, with thousands of troops and iron cavalry charging under her delicate fingers sweeping across the edges of the world! The notes surged like a storm, and the battle song rose high. Everyone in the courtyard couldn¡¯t help but feel their blood boiling, and even the kitten in Li Fan¡¯s arms had its neck fur standing on end! ¡°Resound¡ª¡± Finally, a note fell abruptly, and the battle song stopped abruptly, like a divine sword that had been unsheathed moments ago, was now sheathed again, leaving everyone dazzled and overwhelmed. Nan Feng stopped, taking a deep breath. Opening her eyes, her beautiful pupils almost seemed to shatter illusions! ¡°This is¡ Celestial Immortal!¡± Qing Chen spoke in a somewhat dazed voice. ¡°Sister Nan Feng has entered the Celestial Immortal Realm, that¡¯s wonderful, so wonderful!¡± Zi Ling eximed with joy! ¡°Senior Sister¡¯s realm is truly admirable¡¡± Long Zixuan murmured, then continued to gaze at the fish, motionless! Li Fan also smiled, Nan Feng¡¯s musical talent was growing stronger by the day. Perhaps in a year or two, she could fullyprehend the ¡°Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody.¡± Beyond Nan Feng, Zi Ling¡¯s Art of Painting was also making rapid progress, having already reached the perfect state of the Profound Immortal Ninth Heaven, just one step away from entering the Celestial Immortal Realm. Long Zixuan, observing dragons daily, had already gathered eight Dragon Souls on his body, exceedingly formidable; once unleashed, he could even battle a Celestial Immortal. Qing Chen continued sweeping, his temperament like a bamboo untouched by worldly matters, yet he had also reached the Mystical Immortal Eighth Heaven. ¡°Fortunately, I¡¯ve also broken through to the Mystical Immortal Realm, or else I really wouldn¡¯t be able to hang in there¡¡± Dugu Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but speak up. As he spoke, he nced over at Lu Rang, who was in the vegetable garden. Only Lu Rang was still in the True Immortal Ninth Heaven Realm, and he was taking his time to make his breakthrough. But, Lu Rang had recently shown little concern for his realm, as he was busy nting grass, thoroughly enjoying himself! The clumps of grass he had nted had already started to grow, with each de of grass sharp to the extreme at its edges. Faintly, each leaf of grass carried an immortal charm! ¡°This guy, he couldn¡¯t have really grown a bunch of grass that can kill immortals, could he¡¡± Dugu Yuqing muttered. Li Fan waspletely indifferent to all of this, and after listening to Nan Feng¡¯s tune, he continued to teach Xinning how to read. ¡°The silent spring cherishes the gentle flow, tree shadows reflect on water love the soft sun.¡± ¡°Little lotus just revealing its sharp tips, soon a dragonfly perches on them.¡± Xinning¡¯s tender voice rang out, like a clear spring, bringing a different kind of vitality to the small courtyard. Behind Li Fan, Demon Marshal Gong Ya stood in attendance, her expression somewhatplex at this moment. Watching this group of young people in the courtyard, she was gradually understanding why Li Fan¡ªan iparably formidable figure who had reached the absolute pinnacle¡ªwould take in a group of disciples that appeared to have meager realms, almost like ants¡ At this rate, it would take only a few years for these young ones to be major figures renowned across the heavens¡ This senior was strategizing! At this thought, she couldn¡¯t help but transmit her voice, ¡°Demon Monarch, why not ask this senior to impart to you some of the grand dao? Spending all day reading poetry is really¡¡± It was indeed a waste of the Demon Monarch¡¯s precious time. As everyone knows, the other eight Primeval Souls of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch had been rapidly growing with the support of various Demon Marshals¡ Upon hearing this, Xinning replied, ¡°You don¡¯t understand, during this time following Big Brother to read poetry, I feel like my state of mind has changed, sensing a different kind of dao¡¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not talking to you anymore, I have poetry to read.¡± She continued to read, ¡°Little lotus just revealing its sharp tips, soon a dragonfly perches on them!¡± She seemed to be gradually sensing the beauty within the poem. Li Fan also showed a slight smile. He always believed that poetry could cultivate one¡¯s heart, allowing children to find the most beautiful things in this world. At this time, Mu Qianning¡¯s voice came from outside, ¡°Is Senior Li in?¡± ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Li Fan spoke. Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit promptly walked in. ¡°Senior, thank you for bestowing the edict. Our disputes with the other alliances have beenpletely resolved.¡± ¡°With your edict at hand, they don¡¯t dare to act recklessly anymore.¡± Fire Spirit spoke with gratitude. Li Fan was somewhat surprised, the disputes resolved? Just like that? But after a moment¡¯s thought, he suddenly had a realization and understood! ¡°That¡¯s right. When the major alliances came to cause trouble, since it was about the art and calligraphy business, in the end, the works would speak for themselves¡¡± And Li Fan had great confidence in his own study, believing that in the whole Heavenly Realm there were likely few who could match him in this domain. The alliances, having seen his work, would certainly have realized that behind Fire Spirit and the others, there was a master calligrapher, and naturally would not dare to engage in maliciouspetition anymore. ¡°This is indeed great.¡± Li Fan smiled. ¡°By the way, Senior, we have a few more messages to report to you¡¡± Mu Qianning said, ¡°There¡¯s an elder from Huangtian State who ims that a major event is about to take ce there, and he wishes to meet with you¡ He ims that you are the only one who can resolve this major issue.¡± A major event? Only I can solve it? Li Fan was puzzled for a moment. He had written a piece of calligraphy which Fire Spirit and others took for exhibition, overpowering the other major alliances, and now someone wasing to him, iming there was a major event? This logic passed through Li Fan¡¯s mind and he suddenly understood. The major event Mu Qianning and the others were talking about, could it be some kind of calligraphypetition or the like? It must be, after all, the outside world, if they knew of him at all, would only know of his calligraphy and painting! If they sought him out, it would certainly be rted to that. However, Li Fan shook his head and said, ¡°I will not get involved in what he is talking about.¡± Joking aside, even if he wanted to participate, he couldn¡¯t, as he hadn¡¯t yetpleted the system¡¯s tasks. Moreover, Li Fan truly had little interest in thosepetitions for fame and profit. He didn¡¯t care! ¡°The elder also said that in Huangtian State there is a great opportunity that only the younger generation canpete for¡ He wants Sister Ling¡¯er and me to go, but Sister Ling¡¯er and I, being of weak strength, havee specially to ask for your instruction¡¡± Mu Qianning continued, supplementing her words, ¡°At present, the young people from various major alliances and powers are all heading to Huangtian State¡¡± Li Fan was somewhat surprised. Only the youth can participate in thepetition? It turns out that this calligraphypetition held in Huangtian State even has age categories! Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning indeedcked talent in this respect. And such apetition would certainly be quite important for their business. Therefore, they hade to politely ask for his help. After thinking it over, Li Fan said, ¡°No worries, in that case, I will send two people with you.¡± He turned to Dugu Yuqing, who was diligently practicing the character ¡°one,¡± and said, ¡°Yuqing, Lu Rang, you two go with them.¡± Chapter 127 - 118 Encounter in the Huangtian Realm_1 Chapter 127: Chapter 118 Encounter in the Huangtian Realm_1 Upon hearing Li Fan¡¯s instruction, Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang both froze for a moment. Were they being sent? ¡°I get it¡ Does master think that our cultivation has progressed too slowly and wants us to go there to seize an opportunity?¡± Dugu Yuqing had a revtion and immediately said with great joy, ¡°As youmand!¡± However, Lu Rang was somewhat reluctant and, looking at the grass he had nted, said, ¡°Master¡ can I bring my grass with me?¡± ¡°I would like to take care of them on the way while leaving!¡± Hearing this, Li Fan felt a toothacheing on. This peculiar disciple, even thinking of taking grass with him when he leaves? He was truly at a loss for words. Li Fan waved his hand and said, ¡°Do whatever you like.¡± Lu Rang was thrilled, and he began looking for something, finally finding a broken y pot. Using this pot, he transnted the grass into it, tied it up, and carried it on his back. Dugu Yuqing, on the other hand, was simply dressed, intending to bring only paper and a pen. But when he reached for the pen, he hesitated! Because the pen given by the master was far too formidable; once in battle, he wouldn¡¯t dare to use it carelessly as a single stroke would drain all his strength! ¡°Master, I would like to take a pen with me, but I really can¡¯t control this one¡¡± he said. Li Fan was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. That was true, his pen, gifted by the system, was something he himself found a bit heavy at first. In the outside world, whenpeting in calligraphy, if long and continuous writing was required, it would actually be a disadvantage for Dugu Yuqing! ¡°Wait a moment!¡± After saying that, Li Fan headed straight for the chicken coop. Everyone watched him with puzzled expressions. But the very next moment, they were all stunned! For Li Fan walked right up to an old hen, picked it up, and plucked a handful of feathers from its leg! ¡°Heaven¡ is that¡ is that the legendary¡ and he just plucks its feathers like that?¡± Xinning¡¯s eyes were wide open in shock. ¡°It¡¯s terrifying, such a legendary creature does not dare to resist at all in his hands and can only allow itself to be plucked¡¡± Gong Ya Demon Marshal also felt a tremor in his heart. After plucking the feathers, Li Fan put down the old hen and casually picked up a piece of bamboo. In just a few moments, he had crafted a new feather brush! ¡°This feather brush is much lighter than the one from your teacher; give it a try,¡± Li Fan said with a smile as he handed it over to Dugu Yuqing. Dugu Yuqing took it with trembling hands. Holding it, he indeed felt a fiery energy, as if holding mes! ¡°A feather brush¡ this is clearly a Phoenix brush, probably it could even be listed among the ranks of the Immortal Soldiers¡¡± Hearing Li Fan¡¯s description, Gong Ya felt like going mad. That was a true feather of the divine fowl Phoenix¡ And now it had been crafted into a brush, and moreover, made personally by such a fearsome being as Li Fan¡ the value and power of this pen were immeasurable! With a gentle stroke from Dugu Yuqing, a terrifying and invisible force of fire seemed to spread out instantly! This pen contained a terrifying fiery energy! And he could use it rtively easily! Considering it a treasure, Dugu Yuqing gratefully said, ¡°Thank you, Master, thank you!¡± The other disciples, upon seeing Dugu Yuqing receive the divine pen personally bestowed by Li Fan, all showed signs of envy in their eyes. But Li Fan shookhis head and said, ¡°No need for thanks,¡± ¡°Go to the study and take with you the Sunset Painting I made.¡± Although Dugu Yuqing¡¯s calligraphy skills were somewhat maturepared to those outside, facing a real expert would likely result in defeat. Hence, he needed to bring something to bolster his confidence. On hearing this, Dugu Yuqing was overjoyed. The master was bestowing treasures for his journey, a safeguard! Now there was nothing to worry about! He hurried to fetch it. ¡°Ahem,¡± Before leaving, Li Fan added, ¡°On this trip, if you encounter some seedlings willing to seek the path, feel free to bring them back. I still have some minor techniques I wish to teach,cking a few heirs.¡± He tried to keep calm as he continued, ¡°Preferably, find someone like you, with¡ with some special hobbies.¡± Those without any particr hobbies¡ he wasn¡¯t really inclined to ept them. What he knew were all kinds of unconventional things, other than calligraphy, painting, ying music, there were things like pig feeding, cksmithing¡ and the like. The reason he asked Lu Rang to go was because he wanted this loudmouth to use his specialty, hoping he could swindle a few to bring back; that would be the best oue. The disciples were all shocked at the words. Master still had some minor techniques? ¡°The minor techniques spoken by Master must be some terrifying great paths again¡¡± Dugu Yuqing muttered to himself. ¡°The master has taught music, painting, calligraphy, farming, and various other great paths¡ and now, he still needs disciples. Truly, he is a schr that knows everything under heaven¡¡± Long Zixuanmented. ¡°The Great Sage of the Brahman Path can do anything¡¡± Qing Chen admired even more. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master; I will definitely bring back some people who meet your expectations!¡± Lu Rang was already rubbing his hands together, his eyes shining. Both of them left with Fire Spirit and the rest. Watching their departing figures, Gong Ya stood behind Li Fan with aplex expression, her beautiful eyes filled with envy! If she could learn any of the minor techniques from this senior¡ it would be beneficial for a lifetime¡ Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t have such good fortune, only to serve here as a maid! ¡°Gong Ya, you might only be a maid, but there are some things you shouldn¡¯t neglect to learn, such as this art of tea. Your skills are sorelycking,¡± Li Fan suddenly said, looking at her and adding, ¡°Come, I¡¯ll teach you how to brew tea.¡± Upon hearing this, Gong Ya was instantly shocked and then overjoyed! Had this senior finally seen through her thirsty heart and was willing to teach her something? Serving as a handmaiden for a significant figure was indeed rewarding!! ¡°Yes¡ Thankyou, thank you, Senior!¡± Her speech was even stammering! Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing, following Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, left the small mountain vige. Dugu Yuqing, dressed in white garments, looked quite elegant, while Lu Rang, with his dark skin, carried a pot of grass on his back, presenting a rather bizarre appearance. They soon arrived at Taiyan Holy Land. As soon as they reached Taiyan Holy Land, Yuanyang Saint Lord and the others had alreadye out to meet them. Saint Lord Lingchao said, ¡°Has there been any response from Senior Li?¡± Fire Spirit replied, ¡°Senior Li has dispatched two of his disciples to Huangtian State!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were also overjoyed. Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang, they are not strangers to them. Lu Rang previously appeared alongside Long Zixuan, and a single chopstick killed a True Immortal, leaving a fresh memory in their minds; while Dugu Yuqing, being the legitimate son of the Dugu Family, was already known to them. ¡°That¡¯s great! Let¡¯s immediately open the Teleportation Array, moreover, let us escort the two Young Masters to Huangtian State!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord said. ¡°No need,¡± But Dugu Yuqing just smiled and replied, ¡°My fellow brother and I can go by ourselves, there¡¯s no need to trouble the seniors.¡± Hearing this, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were taken aback, but they soon understood. ¡°The disciples sent by Senior Li, how terrifying their strength must be, how could they need our escort? Ourpany would only be a burden to them!¡± They all came to a realization and immediately said, ¡°Very well! This way, please, Young Masters!¡± Shortly after, they were already beside the Teleportation Array. Following the coordinates left by Ji Yuanqing, Saint Lord Lingchao and the others started up the grand array! Soon, the mystical rules of space began to manifest, and Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang stepped on it, immediately vanishing from sight. ¡°With Senior Li¡¯s disciples sent out, we need not worry about the matter in Huangtian State anymore!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao appearedpletely at ease. ¡°However, that Lu Rang is quite strange, actually carrying a pot of grass¡¡± Cihang Saint Lord then voiced his puzzlement. ¡°Grass?¡± Dugu Chenlu let out a long sigh and said, ¡°That grass¡ its might is terrifying beyond belief! Each de of grass contains fearsome Sword Qi¡¡± ¡°In the face of that grass¡ even a Heavenly Immortal would have to be cautious!¡± Everyone was taken aback! Huangtian Realm. In a mountain range somewhere, space twisted and warped. Then, a light hole suddenly appeared, and two young men stumbled out of it. ¡°Damn it¡ this space array really makes one dizzy¡¡± Lu Rang vomited outright in the air. Tossed and turned within the space tunnel, he just couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Dugu Yuqing¡¯s face was also somewhat pale; he could have held it in, but once Lu Rang vomited, he couldn¡¯t help it either. ¡°Bleurgh¡ª¡± Both men were retching violently! Just at that moment. In this expanse of Sky Domain, a massive space airship was approaching. Aboard the airship were a group of handsome men and beautiful women! Each of these young people possessed extraordinary auras. At this moment, a young man with an appearance as refined as jade was chatting with two maidens, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, and said: ¡°Miss Qing Lan, I noticed you haven¡¯t been smiling during our journey, is Duanmu not being a gracious host?¡± He was looking at one of the young women in a white dress, frosty in temperament but boasting a beauty that could topple cities and states, her skin fair as cream, and a pair of eyes like a pair of scissors cutting through the fog. The other maiden was dressed in a green Luo skirt, appearing mischievous and cute. At the young man¡¯s words, she wrinkled her nose, apparently not too fond of him. ¡°You tter me, Young Master Duanmu.¡± The girl in the white dress, Qing Lan, responded indifferently. ¡°Unhappy beauties make my heart uneasy¡¡± The young man, however, smiled and waved his hand; a middle-aged man carrying a pot of wine and three cups approached. He casually poured the wine and said, ¡°This is the Divine Brew from the Duanmu Family, it has calming effects and can also help one in understanding the Way¡ I think bothdies must be somewhat fatigued, why not have a cup to relieve the weariness?¡± He offered the fragrant drinks to the two maidens before him. A glint of anticipation shed in his eyes. ¡°This Divine Brew is from the Duanmu Family, we ept no reward without merit, my sister and I thank Young Master Duanmu,¡± Qing Lan, however, refused. ¡°Miss Qing Lan, why keep others at arm¡¯s length?¡± The young man still persisted. The maiden in green suddenly pointed ahead and said: ¡°Duanmu Yang, do you see the people vomiting in front of us? Can you still drink with that in view?¡± Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yang turned his head to look forward. Indeed, in the space ahead, there were two individuals who were furiously retching! And notably, these two were¡ vomiting in mid-air! The scene was somewhat grotesquely picturesque! ¡°What the¡¡± Duanmu Yang stared at the sight and nearly ended up retching too. ¡°Stop, stop!¡± He quickly yelled, ¡°Steer clear of those disgusting fellows ahead!¡± The airship immediately came to a halt and prepared to change course. But just at that moment, the two young men in the space ahead, one of whom was carrying a pot of grass, shouted aloud: ¡°Hold on!¡± ¡°May I ask if you are headed to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range?¡± ¡°Give my brother and me a lift!¡± Chapter 128 - 119 We Come from the Village_1 Chapter 128: Chapter 119 We Come from the Vige_1 Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing stepped out from the spatial tunnel, violently vomiting, their heads spinning andpletely disoriented, unable to find the direction to the so-called Burial Immortal Mountain Range anymore. Therefore, when they finally saw someone passing by, they thought about hitching a ride. Upon hearing Lu Rang¡¯s loud shout, many people on the flying ship turned their attention towards them. ¡°Who are these two, daring to obstruct our flying ship?¡± ¡°They look like a pair of paupers¡¡± ¡°Damn, these two have no public decency, vomiting right on the flight path of a Yu Kong Flying Ship¡¡± Everyone was discussing, their words filled with disgust. Duanmu Yang, standing at the bow of the ship, had an even more somber expression as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother with these two, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Hold on,¡± At this moment, Qing Lan suddenly spoke up, ¡°These two men¡ they seem not simple. How about we give them a lift?¡± She faintly felt that she could not see through these two young men! This implied they had secrets. She felt a surge of curiosity and solemnity; after all, these two men were headed for the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, and they were bound to encounter them sooner orter, so it was better to understand them now! Duanmu Yang was filled with anger towards the two vomiting individuals, as their presence had dampened his enthusiasm to invite Qing Lan for a drink just moments before! But now, it was Qing Lan who had spoken. This ice-cold beauty had been indifferent to him all the way. Now she was finally asking him for something¡ He thought for a moment, and saw it as an opportunity! He nodded and said, ¡°Stop, let these two board!¡± The gate of the flying ship opened. Outside, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing hurriedly boarded upon seeing this. ¡°Thankyou, thank you¡ my brother and I are lost in this ce¡¡± Dugu Yuqing said to Duanmu Yang, ¡°May I ask where you are from? Are you also headed for the Burial Immortal Mountain Range?¡± Duanmu Yang responded coldly, ¡°We are from the Earth Wind Alliance, naturally, we are going to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range.¡± Lu Rang was immediately overjoyed and eximed, ¡°That¡¯s great, mypanion and I can team up with you all to explore the Burial Immortal Mountain Range¡¡± ¡°Team up?¡± Duanmu Yang replied coldly, ¡°May I know where youe from, and who is your master?¡± Lu Rang grinned and said, ¡°We¡¯re from a vige!¡± Upon hearing this, Duanmu Yang¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain as he said contemptuously: ¡°Sorry, but this ship is filled with the young elites of the Earth Wind Alliance; we don¡¯t need to team up with you two.¡± ¡°Please find yourselves a corner to sit down.¡± If it weren¡¯t for owing Qing Lan a favor, he wouldn¡¯t have allowed the two to board at all! These two country bumpkins from a mountain vige dared to harbor the ridiculous hope of teaming up with him and his peers? ¡°You¡¡± Lu Rang was somewhat angry and about to say something, when Dugu Yuqing pulled him back, saying, ¡°Alright, thankyou very much.¡± He pulled Lu Rang to a corner of the deck and sat down. ¡°This brat deserves a lesson¡¡± Lu Rang was still somewhat angry. ¡°There¡¯s no need to court trouble under someone else¡¯s roof; our focus now should be on getting to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range,¡± Dugu Yuqing said. Lu Rang replied, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll let this youngster be smug for now¡¡± ¡°Oh, and let me remind you two of something,¡± Just then, Duanmu Yang disdainfully added, ¡°This is a Duanmu Family ship, not a ce for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to take a leak wherever they please. If you dare to vomit here again, don¡¯t me me for throwing you out!¡± His attitude, his expression. It was like he was scolding two beggars! Lu Rang red up instantly, bellowing, ¡°Damn it, Dugu, stop holding me back, I have to teach this brat what cruelty means today!¡± The other party¡¯s attitude was simply too much! Even if they didn¡¯t want to let us aboard, a simple refusal would have sufficed. But to repeatedly humiliate us like this is unbearable. Dugu Yuqing also frowned, making no move to intervene. ¡°Ho, a few country bumpkins dare to act tough in front of Brother Duanmu?¡± ¡°Do you really think you¡¯re something special?¡± ¡°Where did these backwoods yokelse from, shouting and bawling like that!¡± Seeing Lu Rang stand up, many of the young people around coldly spoke up. Duanmu Yang looked on coldly with murderous intent. ¡°Enough,enough!¡± At that moment, the girl in the green dress beside Qing Lan, Xia Yao, spoke up, ¡°Really, enough is enough. It¡¯s such a big ship; would a couple more people kill you?¡± ¡°To treat others with such contempt just because they seem lowly is just bad manners, isn¡¯t it?¡± As Xia Yao spoke, she looked at Qing Lan and said, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t you think?¡± Qing Lan did not reply. But Duanmu Yang¡¯s expression changed slightly; he certainly did not want Qing Lan to think him petty. He waved his hand at everyone, ¡°No need for rm. As for these two backwoods yokels, we can just let them stay here.¡± The atmosphere at the scene finally eased somewhat. But Lu Rang was still seething with anger. ¡°Forget it, no need to stoop to their level,¡± Dugu Yuqing shook his head. The flying ship moved swiftly, crossing a region in no time, and they entered the Northern Border of Huangtian State! Before everyone¡¯s eyes, a terrifying scene unfolded in the sky ahead. Golden sacred light and ck evil aura intertwined, painting the entire sky of the Northern Border! The ship had barely entered the Northern Border when the evil qi assailed them. ¡°Just how many immortals are buried in the Burial Immortal Mountain Range to produce such a terrifying evil qi¡¡± ¡°The whole Northern Border is filled with it¡ Simrly, the sacred light must be emanating from some kind of supreme treasure!¡± ¡°Truly a ce of great fortune, if one could obtain it, perhaps they could really be an immortal ancestor!¡± Excitement bubbled among the people on the flying ship. However, as the flying ship drew closer, the ck evil qi became more intense. ¡°The evil qi is too dense; my Spiritual Power is moving sluggishly¡¡± ¡°If one were exposed to such evil qi for too long, they would turn into something that¡¯s neither human nor ghost!¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions were grave! ¡°Here, we are approaching the Burial Immortal Mountain Range. Let me treat everyone to a taste of our Duanmu Family¡¯s Divine Brew!¡± He waved his hand and immediately, some of the Duanmu Family¡¯s attendants brought over cups of a fragrant fine wine. The aroma of the wine was rich and intoxicating. ¡°Is this¡ the Qi Ming Wine from the Duanmu Family? It¡¯s said to enlighten those who drink it!¡± ¡°Regr consumption can increase the chances of reaching a meditative state!¡± ¡°Normally, even a thousand Spirit Stones couldn¡¯t buy a cup!¡± Everyone was pleasantly surprised. ¡°This wine will assist you all in understanding the Dao and maintain inner peace facing the evil qi, offering additional protection as we enter the Burial Immortal Mountain Range!¡± As Duanmu Yang spoke, he poured another cup for Qing Lan and Xia Yao, ¡°Ladies, let¡¯s all drink together and wish our journey through the Burial Immortal Mountain Ranges smooth sailing, shall we?¡± Now that Duanmu Yang had offered wine to everyone, it would be really disrespectful to refuse. Qing Lan took the cup without saying a word. Xia Yao also picked up her cup, ready to drink. ¡°Wait,¡± At that moment, Dugu Yuqing¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Ladies, you must not drink this wine.¡± He stood up, his eyes filled with indifference. ¡ªHis Cultivation Level had long since reached the Xuanxian Realm, and he could clearly see that there was something wrong with the wine Duanmu Yang handed to Qing Lan and Xia Yao! At these words, Duanmu Yang immediately became furious, ¡°You two, are you seeking death?¡± These two men, time and again, had thwarted his ns! Chapter 129 - 120: Special Hobby 1 Chapter 129: Chapter 120: Special Hobby 1 The others, seeing this, also opened their mouths. These two fools, they really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for them!¡± ¡°They really think too highly of themselves, daring to disturb our drinking?¡± Brother Duanmu should really throw these two out!¡± But Qing Lan¡¯s heart stirred, as she looked at Dugu Yuqing and asked, ¡°Why can¡¯t we drink?¡± Dugu Yuqing replied indifferently, ¡°This wine is poisoned.¡± Poisoned! Hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. ¡± Have they gone mad? To actually say that the Duanmu Family¡¯s Divine Brew is poisoned??¡± ¡°One can tell he¡¯s a lunatic at first nce.¡± ¡°Such a low-born person, always trying to y the clown for attention, not worth a mention!¡± The crowd jeered coldly and mockingly. And some went straight up, lifted their cups, and drained them, disdainfully saying, ¡°Poisoned? Such a fine wine, where would the poisone from? I think you are just jealous!¡± Dugu Yuqing¡¯s brow furrowed, and he said, ¡°The wine you¡¯ve drunk isn¡¯t poisoned, but theirs is.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± At that moment, Duanmu Yang was truly enraged, saying, ¡°You two have repeatedly insulted me, do you really take me, Duanmu, for someone with a good temper?¡± ¡°Come, throw them out!¡± His eyes filled with intense killing intent, he had not expected his n to be seen through by two bumpkins? Several middle-aged men with strong cultivation levels immediately approached Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing. ¡°Hold on,¡± At this moment, Qing Lan suddenly spoke up, ¡°Young Master Duanmu, may I swap cups with you?¡± As she spoke, she offered her cup of wine. Seeing this, Duanmu Yang was momentarily taken aback. Miss Qing Lan, do you also suspect me?¡± he retorted. ¡°Young Master Duanmu is overthinking it; I merely wish to switch our cups,¡± Qing Lan responded with an indifferent expression. Duanmu Yang¡¯s face became even more somber as he said, ¡°I, Duanmu, conduct myself with integrity and openness. Miss Qing Lan, do you really think it¡¯s alright to embarrass me like this?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t dare to drink, then forget it.¡± Qing Lan calmly replied, ¡°Many thanks to Young Master Duanmu for your care along the way; my sister and I will take our leave now.¡± Having said that, she turned to look at Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing, and suggested, ¡°Gentlemen, how about we travel together?¡± Lu Rang agreed, ¡°Good!¡± They had only boarded the ship previously because they were seasick and couldn¡¯t find the direction to the Burial Immortal Mountain Range. Now that they could reach it in an instant, naturally, they did not wish to continue to suffer the indignities on this ship. ¡°Wait!¡± At this time, Duanmu Yang spoke with a menacing tone, ¡°You think you can just leave? Does the Duanmu family mean nothing to you?¡± ¡°Men, kill these two! I want them dead!¡± He red at Lu Rang and hispanion with a fierce killing intent! It was all because of these two fools that his good ns were ruined. He had drugged the wine, and once drank, Qing Lan and Xia Yao, these two great beauties, would only be at his mercy. At this moment, his ns were utterly dashed. Without a doubt, Qing Lan would no longer trust him! In an instant, several of the Duanmu Family¡¯s subordinates coldly stepped forward. ¡°To death!¡± They shouted angrily, making a move against Dugu Yuqing and hispanion! These subordinates were also very powerful, all of them Combined Body Period Supremes. But, Dugu Yuqing merely frowned and waved his hand. Instantly, the group of subordinates all started screaming in agony! ¡°All¨C¡± They were sent flying, crashing heavily onto the airship! Immediately, everyone was taken by surprise. ¡®This person¡¯s cultivation level is extraordinary, able to overpower Supremes with a mere gesture?¡± ¡°Terrifying!¡± ¡°We have underestimated him¡ probably at least an Almost Immortal? At such an age¡ truly a favored son of the heavens.¡± The crowd discussed among themselves in shock, and in an instant, the way they looked at Lu Rang and hispanion had changed! They were from the Difeng Realm, but powerful enough that even in the Earth Character Realm, to reach a cultivation level above the Body Integration Realm in their twenties, was indeed exceptional! ¡°A bunch of trash, as weak as ants, also dare to act tough?¡± Lu Rang taunted mercilessly. ¡°You¡ have gone too far!¡± Duanmu Yang was extremely angry, ¡°Do you really think the Duanmu family is nobody?!¡± Following his words, two elders stepped out from amongst the crowd! The aura of these two elders was incredibly powerful. Fighting on our Duanmu Family¡¯s ship, don¡¯t you think that¡¯s a bit overbearing?¡± One of them stared down Lu Rang and hispanion, his cultivation level already released. Immortal! These were two Immortals! ¡ª The Duanmu Family was a major n within the Earth Wind Alliance, boasting a Heavenly Immortal among its members. This time, although it was merely a contest among the younger generation, the Duanmu Family still dispatched elder experts to escort them. ¡°Heh, even if you have some cultivation level, what¡¯s the use? Before you¡¯ve fully grown, you¡¯re fated only to be strangled!¡± Duanmu Yang said viciously, ¡°Remember in your next life, in this world, talent and aptitude aren¡¯t the most important things, background is!¡± Offend the Duanmu Family, and you¡¯re bound to be strangled!¡± The two Immortals were already closing in on Lu Rang and his friend. ¡°Tsk tsk, the Duanmu Family, what a big background you have, I¡¯m so scared¡¡± Lu Rang calmly stepped forward and said, ¡°If it¡¯s a matter of background, not to mention you, even if the entire Earth Wind Alliance came, they wouldn¡¯t be qualified!¡± He was disdainful! With that, he casually put down the pot of grass he was carrying on his back. He could easily kill two Immortals with a wave of his hand, but he wanted to test the power of this grass! However, when he took out that grass, the expressions of the two Immortals dramatically changed! ¡°This¡ What is that earthen pot holding the grass? Why do I feel an immensely terrifying aura¡¡± One Immortal murmured. Nothing simple¡ This thing is extremely dangerous, its grade is possibly above that of a Heavenly Immortal!¡± The other one spoke. Both exchanged a nce. ¡®These two country bumpkins must have an extraordinary background!¡± The two quickly reached a consensus! An elder hurried forward and said, ¡°We have been blind to not recognize Mount Tai, please forgive our oversight!¡± Seeing this, everyone on the flying ship was shocked. These were the Immortals of the Duanmu Family, and they were apologizing to two country bumpkins? It was utterly unbelievable. Duanmu Yang was also extremely surprised, confusion written all over his face. Qing Lan¡¯s clear eyes also revealed a hint of surprise. Xia Yao was so astonished that her mouth gaped open. ¡°We had absolutely no intention to offend, please show leniency!¡± The Immortals of the Duanmu Family continued, ¡°We are all people from the Heavenly Realm, where paths cross frequently, so please be generous!¡± He was truly afraid, for if the other party really used that pot of flowers, it was likely that everyone on this ship would die! Although the Duanmu Family was powerful and had a Heavenly Immortal at its helm, their influence in Huangtian State was limited. Therefore, it was best not to offend if possible. Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing simply said, ¡°Enough.¡± ¡°Senior brother, let¡¯s go¡ª¡± Lu Rang grudgingly put it away and said, ¡°You got lucky this time.¡± The two of them then left. ¡°Young Master Duanmu, we take our leave.¡± At this moment, Qing Lan also spoke indifferently, followed Lu Rang and the others, and left the flying ship. ¡°Aaaah¡ª¡± As the four of them left, Duanmu Yang was consumed with rage. ¡°Uncles, why did you let those two get away!¡± He was filled with resentment. ¡°Duanmu Yang, you don¡¯t have the right to question us!¡± One of the Immortals spoke coldly, ¡°They are no ordinary people. They carry an unspeakable magical artifact. Once used, this ship might not even reach the Burial Immortal Mountain Range before everyone is annihted!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone on the ship was stunned. They were clearly two bumpkins, yet so terrifying? Having left the flying ship. ¡°Thank you, young masters, without you both, perhaps we sisters would have already been harmed by Duanmu Yang.¡± Qing Lan expressed her gratitude. ¡°No need for thanks.¡± Dugu Yuqing shook his head. ¡°I am called Qing Lan, and this is my junior sister Xia Yao. We are from the Profound Maiden Sect of the Difeng Realm.¡± ¡°May I know from which state you twoe, and what are your origins?¡± Qing Lan continued, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. ¡°Wee from Xuan Chengzhou.¡± Dugu Yuqing replied; Xuan Chengzhou was a state neighboring the Xuantian Realm. He did not wish to reveal their origins, as Xuan Tianzhou was far too sensitive a detail to disclose. ¡°As for our master¡ Indeed, we were both taught by a senior in a small vige.¡± At this moment, Lu Rang suddenly said, ¡°Ladies, I can see that you both have extraordinary frames; do you by any chance have, do you have any special hobbies?¡± Upon hearing this, both Qing Lan and Xia Yao were taken aback. Chapter 130 - 121 Young Old Monster_1 Chapter 130: Chapter 121 Young Old Monster_1 Special hobbies? Lu Rang¡¯s odd question immediately made Qing Lan and Xia Yao blush. ¡°We do not!¡± Xia Yao spoke, disdain visible in her beautiful eyes. Lu Rang said in surprise, ¡°Uh¡ what I actually wanted to ask was whether you two have considereding to our vige¡ whether to raise pigs, cook, do misceneous work or anything at all¡¡± ¡°No!¡± Xia Yao spoke again, no longer believing him. ¡°Never mind then, I originally wanted to offer you two a great opportunity, but forget it if you¡¯re not interested.¡± Lu Rang did not insist. ¡°We¡¯re approaching the Burial Immortal Mountain Range.¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke gravely. We had already arrived. Avast mountain range stretched out over thend, but now it bore countless cracks, giving it an extremely terrifying appearance. Streams of horrific deathly aura and the mixed-in sacred golden light were seeping out of those cracks. There were people up ahead blocking the way! ¡°Who goes there?¡± The one setting up the barricade was an Almost Immortal, who coldly said, ¡°No one from the younger generation¡¯s elite may enter!¡± ¡°Difeng Realm, from the Profound Maiden Sect, Qing Lan and Xia Yao!¡± Qing Lan spoke lightly. Upon hearing this, the Almost Immortal furrowed his brow and said, ¡°Profound Maiden Sect? Why are youing alone? Shouldn¡¯t you be arriving with the Yu Kong Flying Ship from the Duanmu Family?¡± ¡ªIndeed, the major powers had joined forces to seal off the Burial Immortal Mountain Range! There was a grand opportunity within, so naturally, they would not allow other ordinary people toe in andpete for it. ¡°You needn¡¯t ask about that, should you?¡± Qing Lan remained nonchnt, shing the Profound Maiden Sect¡¯s token. ¡°And these two?¡± The Almost Immortal asked, looking towards Lu Rang and the others. Lu Rang¡¯s wit shed, and he immediately said, ¡°We¡¯re also from the Profound Maiden Sect, all of us are together.¡± The Almost Immortal angrily said, ¡°Do you take me for a fool? The Profound Maiden Sect only has female disciples!¡± ¡± I see you two as nothing more than wandering vagrants, get lost!¡± Utter contempt. ¡°These two are our attendants.¡± At this moment, Qing Lan suddenly spoke. She had already seen the extraordinary nature of the two, so she wanted to keep them by her side, as they might be of great useter on. Upon hearing that, the Almost Immortal¡¯s brow furrowed even more, but he still let them pass. After they passed, the Almost Immortal muttered quietly, ¡°It¡¯s said that the women of the Profound Maiden Sect are pure as ice and clean as jade, but it seems they¡¯re not so proper after all¡¡± Upon entering the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, youngsters from various states could be seen everywhere. All of them were outstanding. Moving forward, it wasn¡¯t long before they arrived at an open area thick with malevolent aura. It was crowded here as if it were a sea of people. ¡°Earth Element Alliance!¡± The Earth Element Alliance¡ª a group of young people, striking figures surrounded a youth in blue clothing. The aura of the youth in blue was exceedingly powerful, and he seemed to be on the verge of achieving Immortality. ¡°Earth Spirit Alliance!¡± The Earth Spirit Alliance, too, had a group of distinguished youths. Inparison, the cultivators of the Xuanzi Alliance seemed a bit weaker, their foundation was naturally not as strong as that of the Earth Character Realm. The alliances were distinctly divided. ¡°Saintess Qing Lan, Miss Xia Yao!¡± At that moment, a youth walked over from the Earth Wind Alliance with a beaming smile, saying, ¡°You¡¯ve finally arrived. By the way, where is Brother Duanmu?¡± This person was NingTianhao¡¯s direct grandson, Ning Zhaoran! ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± Behind them, a voice spoke up. It was Duanmu Yang and a group of others who had also hurried over. ¡°Brother Duanmu, how could you let both Saintesses get lost? That was very wrong of you.¡± The youth smiled faintly. Duanmu Yang¡¯s face darkened as he said, ¡°Brother Zhaoran may not be aware, some trifling characters deceived the two Saintesses, causing misunderstandings between me and them!¡± He looked at Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing with malice. At once, Ning Zhaoran¡¯s gaze fell upon Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing. ¡°May I ask who you two are?¡± He inquired. Lu Rang casually said, ¡°Oh, we¡¯re just folks from the vige, haven¡¯t seen much of the world.¡± Ning Zhaoran¡¯s face immediately turned cold as he said, ¡°You two are not from our Earth Wind Alliance, so why are you causing discord?¡± ¡°Sowing discord? You should first ask him what wonderful things he has done to the twodies!¡± Dugu Yuqing said indifferently. ¡°Nonsense, ndering and spouting venomous usations!¡± Duanmu Yang immediately roared with anger, ¡°I invited the two Saintesses to partake in our Duanmu Family¡¯s Qi Ming Tea, but these two falsely used me, iming that I harbored malicious intentions against the Saintesses and poisoned them¡¡± At these words, the surrounding people all looked over. Ning Zhaoran¡¯s expression turned even colder as he said to Lu Rang and hispanion, ¡°If I remember correctly, the major alliances have already sealed off this area, and those who don¡¯t belong are not allowed inside. Please leave immediately!¡± ¡°Guards!¡± He shouted coldly. Suddenly, two old men appeared as if out of thin air. They were powerful, both being Old Immortals! The others also turned their gazes upon this scene. ¡°What? Someone sneaked in?¡± ¡°Heh, offended Brother Duanmu and still dares to mingle here under false pretenses, truly despicable!¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Everyone looked on with disdain. Seeing this, Lu Rang¡¯s eyes also grew colder as he said, ¡°If I remember correctly, this is Huangtian State, not the territory of your several major alliances. What now, you don¡¯t wish to abide by Xuan Tianzhou¡¯s edicts and want to cause bloodshed and chaos?¡± Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few Old Immortals present changed. The edicts of Xuan Tianzhou were well known in the Heavenly Realm. Who would dare to disrespect them? One of the Old Immortals immediately stepped forward, saying, ¡°We are not disregarding the edicts of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, but ordinary antsing here will only add to the chaos!¡± ¡°Without the rmendation of the major alliances or a Sect Gate at the Profound Immortal Level, you may wish to join thepetition, but you must reach the Unity Supreme Cultivation Level!¡± ¡°If you two can achieve that, we naturally won¡¯t intervene!¡± Ning Zhaoran sneered and said, ¡°Two country bumpkins from some mountain vige, at the Body Integration Realm? Just by looking at the two of you, it¡¯s clear you haven¡¯t even reached the Golden Core Realm, so get out quickly¡ª ¡± But before he could finish, Lu Rang suddenly stepped forward and appeared directly in front of him! p! A crisp sound of a p rang out! Ning Zhaoran was sent flying! ¡°Alt¡ª¡± Hended dozens of meters away, spitting out blood! In an instant, everyone present was shocked. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Someone dared toy hands on Ning Zhaoran?!¡± ¡°Ning Zhaoran is considered the number one prodigy within the alliance¡ It¡¯s said he has already broken through to the Immortal Realm¡ yet, this person managed to send him flying with just a p?¡± ¡°Has he gone mad¡¡± Everyone was astonished beyond belief. All eyes in the venue turned towards Lu Rang! Lu Rang said coldly, ¡°Giving you face, huh? Think I¡¯m a sick cat when I don¡¯t show my might as a tiger?¡± ¡°This is the so-called genius? Daring to strut around like a peacock here?¡± The crowd¡¯s expressions becameplicated, as the man in front of them seemed unremarkable and oddly dressed, almost like a farmer, yet he possessed such a terrifying strength. The two Old Immortals were also greatly rmed and said, ¡°Please, hold your hand!¡± They had already sensed that this young man¡¯s cultivation level¡ had actually surpassed that of an Immortal! That¡¯s why Ning Zhaoran was¡ utterly powerless! ¡°You¡¯re clearly not among the younger generation; why then are you here?¡± Another Old Immortal spoke solemnly! He was sure that Lu Rang, who appeared young, was definitely one of those old monsters in disguise! ¡ªLong before today, members of the Four Great Alliances, including Profound Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, hade to probe, but they found that anyone over the age of forty who sat on that white bone chair would be directly annihted! Several Heavenly Immortals met their end that way. Conversely, the young were unharmed. Thus, the old monsters of the major powerspletely gave up the idea of seizing the opportunity and left the battlefield to the younger generation. Even if some old monsters were present, it was only to maintain order. And throughout the Four Great Alliances, there wasn¡¯t a single person below the age of forty who had broken through the Immortal Realm! Hence, they concluded that this young man before them must be one of those old monsters! The rest, hearing this, also came to a realization. ¡°Oh! So he¡¯s an old monster.¡± ¡°I knew it, Ning Zhaoran is the direct grandson of the Alliance Hierarch of the Earth Wind Alliance, with few rivals in cultivation, how could some backwoodsman easily send him flying¡¡± ¡°Hehe, bullying the young while being an old monster, truly shameless!¡± Everyone was looking down with contempt. Lu Rang, upon hearing this, was also momentarily stunned. Old, old monster? He was being called an old monster at his young age? His expression became rather odd! Chapter 131 - 122 I’m Just a Poor Student 1 Chapter 131: Chapter 122 I¡¯m Just a Poor Student 1 ¡°Old monster?¡± Lu Rang felt it peculiar but he couldn¡¯t be bothered to exin further, saying: ¡°Since you all consider me an elder predecessor, then I¡¯ll teach this youngster how to behave. What¡¯s wrong, not convinced?¡± Upon hearing this, the two Old Immortals were left speechless. ¡°This ce is guarded by the Four Great Alliances altogether. You¡¯re taking advantage of your seniority by taking action against a junior. You¡¯ll bear all the consequences yourself!¡± They threatened coldly. ¡°Enough talk, if you¡¯ve got the guts, try to strike, otherwise beat it.¡± Lu Rang was utterly disdainful. From beginning to end, these people had repeatedly insulted them, and they were no pushovers. ¡°Very well, very well!¡± Yet the two Old Immortals dared not make a move and turned to leave. ¡°And you, young man, you¡¯re really asking for it.¡± Lu Rang then turned to look at Duanmu Yang. Since he had already taken action, he was ready to teach a harsh lesson and let the opponent know what cruelty meant! ¡°You¡ what do you want to do? I am from the Duanmu Family, if you dare toy a hand on me, our Celestial Immortals will never let you off!¡± Duanmu Yang¡¯s face suddenly became very ugly! He had not expected that these two seemingly country bumpkins were actually old monsters? The key point was, he had now offended them to death. ¡°Duanmu Family? Old Heavenly Immortal?¡± Lu Rang said, ¡°Even if a Golden Immortal were here, your grandfather wouldn¡¯t be scared!¡± With that, he pped out with his hand! ¡°Alt¡ª¡± Duanmu Yang was sent flying miserably. ¡°Bang!¡± He crashed heavily onto the ground, breaking dozens of ribs. The crowd all hadplex expressions. This person was too bold and arrogant. Although they were seniors, one must know that the Duanmu Family was a household of Heavenly Immortals. Who would dare provoke them normally? Let alone the fact that he had also beaten Ning Tianhao¡¯s direct grandson, the Alliance Hierarch of Earth Wind Alliance! ¡°You!¡± ¡°Your Excellency¡¯s actions, our Duanmu Family will remember this!¡± The two Old Immortals who hade to protect Duanmu Yang also appeared extremely shocked and angered. But they too did not dare to take action and instead hastily helped Duanmu Yang up and fed him a Miraculous Elixir. Instantly, Duanmu Yang¡¯s breath slowly recovered. On the other side, Ning Zhaoran was also being helped up, simrly in the midst of healing! ¡°Anyone who¡¯s not convinced cane and try again.¡± Lu Rang was very straightforward. All those present frowned, not daring to say much else. ¡°Are you two old monsters?¡± Xia Yao, who had been following them, also asked with some daze. Upon hearing this, Lu Rang immediately said: ¡°Miss Xia Yao, please don¡¯t misunderstand, we¡¯re certainly not any old monsters, we are young men as graceful as Jade Trees!¡± ¡°Ugh!¡± Xia Yao made a face at him. However, next to Xia Yao, Qing Lan¡¯s beautiful eyes revealed a trace of contemtion. ¡°Senior Ji from Yellow Sky State has arrived!¡± At this moment, a loud call came. Everyone turned to look and saw Ji Yuanqing and a group of elders already approaching. This included the Sect Master Yin Yuanchen from Dark Moon Sect and several old Profound Immortals from the Four Great Alliances! ¡°Has everyone arrived?¡± Ji Yuanqing enquired. ¡°Reporting to the elders, everyone has arrived and we can now begin,¡± one of the Old Immortal stepped forward and continued, ¡°However, someone has caused trouble at the scene!¡± He pointed at Lu Rang and said: ¡°This man, clearly already a True Immortal in cultivation level, is posing as a young person and causing chaos here. He has beaten Ning Zhaoran and Duanmu Yang sessively!¡± Upon hearing this, several Old Heavenly Immortals immediately turned their gaze to Lu Rang! Their expressions were quite unfriendly. ¡°What do you mean by this, Your Excellency? As a senior figure, you took action against a member of my Duanmu Family, is this bullying the younger?¡± One of the old Profound Immortals from the Duanmu Family immediately stepped forward. Lu Rang, however, was unabashed as he said: ¡°Stop ndering me already, I¡¯m just twenty-one this year and preparing to find a wife. Calling me an old monster or senior left and right, how am I supposed to get byter on? If you ruin my reputation, how will youpensate?¡± ¡°Shameless!¡± ¡°Simply disgusting!¡± Everyone was at a loss for words. ¡°Such audacity, does the Duanmu Family have no one left?¡± The old Profound Immortal from the Duanmu Family was about to step forward for a battle. But, at this moment, Ji Yuanqing frowned and said: ¡°Gentlemen, we should not resort to conflict at this site!¡± ¡°Moreover, do not forget the Edict of Xuan Tianzhou, peace is of utmost importance!¡± Hearing this, the face of the old Profound Immortal from the Duanmu Family changed. The more powerful a Cultivator¡¯s realm, the more they dreaded that Edict from Xuan Tianzhou, and dared not transgress. The old Profound Immortal said solemnly: ¡°He is provoking my Duanmu Family!¡± Ji Yuanqing said, ¡°No matter what, you must not start a dispute in this ce!¡± After speaking, he looked towards Lu Rang and said: ¡°In that case, since he insists on being part of the younger generation, let hime forward and sit on the white bone chair in front.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone also shivered! ¡°Hehe, if a senior sits on it, death is certain!¡± ¡°Even several Heavenly Immortals have perished, a mere True Immortal will only face one way out¡ªdeath!¡± ¡°Senior Ji¡¯s method is good; if someone wants to pose as a member of the younger generation, let them face the consequences!¡± The crowd sneered and jeered. The many Old Heavenly Immortals from the Four Great Alliances also spoke up: ¡°If Your Excellency wishes to pose as the younger generation, then take a seat and see for yourself!¡± ¡°Please give it a try, Your Excellency!¡± ¡°As long as Your Excellency cane down alive from the white bone chair, we will let bygones be bygones; otherwise, if Your Excellency insists on provocation, don¡¯t me us for taking action!¡± They were full of threats. Lu Rang was also taken aback for a moment, looking toward the front. Before them, there was a terrifying barrier. And outside the barrier, there was a bone table and two bone chairs, on which chess pieces were arranged across the tabletop. ¡°Is this bone chair really that evil?¡± He immediately went forward and, without any hesitation, sat down! ¡°He¡¯s seeking death!¡± ¡°He¡¯ll perish instantly¡¡± The crowd coldly jeered, all waiting to see the scene of Lu Rang¡¯s demise. But then, one second passed. Two seconds. Three seconds¡ Lu Rang was still perfectly fine! ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is the chair supposed to be terrifying? Why hasn¡¯t it turned me, an old man, to dust?¡± Lu Rang sneered. Seeing this, the onlookers were all dumbfounded. ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be¡ countless people from the Four Great Alliances have tested it before: anyone over forty who sits there is certain to die!¡± ¡°Could it be that the rule figured out by the sacrifice of lives from the Four Great Alliances¡ was actually wrong¡?¡± ¡°Impossible, the Four Great Alliances can¡¯t be wrong!¡± The crowd was extremely shocked. And at this moment, an old Profound Immortal from the Duanmu Family was even more startled, eximing: ¡°This person¡ is he really under forty years old?¡± Under forty! This statement rendered everyone even more shocked to the extreme! ¡± What? A True Immortal under forty? Is this defying the heavens?¡± ¡°Impossible! Even within the Four Great Alliances, no one has achieved this!¡± ¡°To break through to the True Immortal Realm before forty, isn¡¯t that something seen once in ten thousand years?!¡± Everyone eximed in astonishment! Under forty, bing a True Immortal¡ this was simply inconceivable! A monster, a genius, a once-in-an-era talent! Those who came today were the true chosen ones from the states of the Heavenly Realm, but now inparison to Lu Rang, they were like ants¡ ¡°Such formidable talent, such extraordinary qualifications!¡± Even Ji Yuanqing couldn¡¯t help but cry out! At his side, the Dark Moon Sect Master Yin Yuanchen, with a stern face, suddenly had a sh of crimson light in his pupils, but no one saw it. Among the crowd, a young man at this moment also had a very grim expression. He was Xiao Yan from Green Rock City, Yellow Sky State! At this moment, seeing Lu Rang, his eyes were filled with hostility. ¡°Kid, even in the Immortal Domain, a True Immortal under forty is a rare talent, this epoch has an adversary for you!¡± The voice of the First Immortal General transmitted coldly inside him. ¡°I am the real protagonist, right, Elder Yang? You will help me to take him down!¡± Xiao Yan spoke softly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, once you get what¡¯s inside here, not even the strongest genius from the Immortal Domain can do anything to you,¡± said Yang Miechen indifferently. The crowd was all in shock watching Lu Rang, their previous scorn and disdain swept away! It turned out he was not some old monster, but a peerless genius. ¡°¡You, you¡¯re really under forty?¡± Xia Yao¡¯s mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg! ¡°Such a monstrous talent¡ he muste from some ancient, hidden family!¡± Qing Lan¡¯s beautiful eyes were full of shock, and subconsciously, she nced at Dugu Yuqing. With Lu Rang being so stunning, could Dugu Yuqing be the same kind of exceptional talent? Lu Rang, enjoying the expressions of the crowd, felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him, thinking to himself, Heaven above, atst I feel a little sense of aplishment. Back in the vige, his cultivation level was the worst among all his fellow disciples, so utterly inferior! If these people knew that his most powerful sister had already broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm, probably the entire Heavenly Realm would be shocked to the core! He indulged in this vanity for a second, then said: ¡°Cough cough, actually, I¡¯m just a poor student, the most rubbish one in our vige¡¡± Theplex expressions on everyone¡¯s faces made them almost want to spurt blood. That¡¯s way too pretentious. A peerless genius and still feigning humility here! If that¡¯s the most rubbish, what about the talents from the great alliances? Are they even human? Lu Rang took the opportunity to continue: ¡°Cough cough, by the way, Saint Heirs and Saintesses of the great alliances, do you have any special hobbies?¡± His gaze swept around,nding on a Saintess, his eyes lighting up as he said: ¡°Miss, you are beautiful, how abouting back to my vige to be a cook?¡± The Saintess immediately frowned and rebuked: ¡°You brazen yboy!¡± ¡°Never mind then,¡± Lu Rang simply shouted out, ¡°We¡¯re recruiting in our vige, nning to take people back to raise pigs, herd cattle, stuff like that. Any volunteers? Enrollment is open, but not for long.¡± Before leaving, his master had also entrusted him to find some disciples while outside! So, he was looking for candidates. However, many of the young geniuses on site had ugly expressions on their faces. ¡°This is too much!¡± ¡± What does he take us for? To be insulted at will?¡± ¡°Does he really think that just because he¡¯s a genius, he can demean us like this, disregard us entirely?¡± Everyone was angry! ¡°Enough!¡± At this point, the old Profound Immortal from the Duanmu Family couldn¡¯t help but speak out in rebuke! A genius indeed, but this arrogance was just too much. Lu Rang turned to Ji Yuanqing and others, saying: ¡°Just now, you were all calling me an old monster, now, you¡¯ve got nothing to say, right?¡± The old Profound Immortal from the Duanmu Family and others were at a loss for words. Ji Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, ¡°Now, please step forward to break the formations!¡± ¡°ording to the records of my Ji Family¡¯s ancestors, this ce was left with nine terrifying chess puzzles by our predecessors, only those of the younger generation who are destined can break through, and after breaking them, they may enter!¡± ¨C The news of Burial Immortal Mountain Range¡¯s grand opening was spread to various states by Ji Yuanqing, and since his Ji Family had a deep study of this ce, Ji Yuanqing had a very high say here, and even the Four Great Alliances had to respect him. Upon hearing this, immediately, thousands of young disciples stepped forward! As they stepped forward, suddenly outside the barrier, one by one identical bone chess sets appeared! All faced the same chess puzzle! Chapter 132 - 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles 1 Chapter 132: Chapter 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles 1 The breakthrough had begun. Talented individuals from the Hundred States of Heaven and the Four Great Alliances all stepped forward. In front of the barrier, thousands of identical chess boards appeared. Everyone cautiously sat down on the bone-white chairs, their nerves on edge. Soon, the scene fell into silence. Every single person was deep in thought. But before long, many had already stepped down. Their chess skills weren¡¯t refined enough; they simply couldn¡¯t proceed. The chess boards in front of the barrier were extremelyplex. ¡°It¡¯s terrifying, this chessboard¡ It¡¯s not just a game of chess; I distinctly feel as if two fearsome armies are shing, with life and death hanging by a thread¡¡± A rather schrly-looking young man spoke up. He was Lu Xing, a genius from the Earth Element Alliance, known as the Little Chess Saint! ¡°This chess board is too difficult, containing several hundred dreadful formations¡ I fear no one from our generation will be able to break through!¡± A woman spoke, deeply sighing. She came from the Xuanzhen Sect of the Xuanzhen Realm, and her profound understanding of formations allowed her to see instantly that intertwined with the chessboards were terrifying formations! At the scene, every young person with knowledge of chess was fervently racking their brains. However, the majority had already given up, able only to wait by the side of their respective alliance¡¯s seed yers, hoping that they could carve out a path. ¡°s, in a blink of an eye, only a few hundred people continued¡¡± An old Profound Immortalmented, ¡°It¡¯s too difficult.¡± ¡°Those who understand chess are few, and finding them amongst talents is even rarer¡¡± ¡°No matter, the Four Great Alliances have made their preparations!¡± ¡°Just wait and see!¡± Everybody began speaking one after another. ¡°Lu Xing has started to y.¡± At this moment, all eyes were on him. Lu Xing from the Earth Element Alliance finally made his move. His expression was stern. With a drop of a ck piece, a white piece followed immediately. The battle between ck and white sides became intensely fierce! Beads of sweat fell inrge drops from Lu Xing¡¯s forehead. He gave it his all, continued with difficulty, and as the chessboard changed, his eyes filled with bloodshot streaks! ¡°This chessboard is too fearsome, even the Little Chess Saint is having such a hard time?¡± ¡°Incredible¡¡± People marveled. But in the end, Lu Xing ced a piece! With this move, the white skeletal table before him suddenly vanished! Immediately after that, a second table appeared. With the first white skeletal table gone, part of the barrier also disappeared, allowing him to move forward about ten steps. ¡°He broke through the formation!¡± ¡°Truly worthy of the Little Chess Saint.¡± ¡°The Earth Element Alliance¡¯s Little Chess Saint is indeed formidable!¡± Everyone was astounded. Lu Xing looked relieved, his face revealing an expression of unbridled joy. He immediately stepped forward and approached the second white skeletal table. The young people from the Earth Element Alliance hurried to follow him! Those who broke the formation could carve out a path! This path allowed others to follow. However, when Lu Xing sat down at the second bone-white chair, he was instantly stunned, looking at the chessboard, he seemed to have lost all sense of self! ¡°How terrifying is the second round?¡± ¡°Unbelievable!¡± ¡°There are nine chess boards in total, each one more frightening than thest.¡± People discussed amongst themselves. And at that moment. ¡°Someone from the Earth Spirit Alliance has broken the formation!¡± People were shocked and turned to look. There, a woman had broken the formation. Clothed in a hazy light veil, her slender and graceful figure was barely visible, and in her hands appeared one sand table after another! ¡°It¡¯s the Saintess Mu Chenxi from the Xuanzhen Sect; she¡¯s so skilled!¡± ¡°The Heavenly Performance Sand Table of the Xuanzhen Sect? It¡¯s said to be the painstaking work of generations of Sect Masters from the Xuanzhen Sect, capable of breaking all formations under heaven!¡± ¡°With this sand table, it¡¯s as if all the past Sect Masters of Xuanzhen Sect are with Mu Chenxi!¡± The crowd eximed in surprise. Meanwhile, the people of the Earth Spirit Alliance excitedly followed Mu Chenxi. Among the thousands of youths, only these two had broken through the first formation. The various states and alliances were all at a loss! ¡°We cannot break the formation¡¡± Duanmu Yang, Ning Zhaoran, and other geniuses, after much deliberation, were simply unable to break the formation! Theycked the innate talent of Lu Xing and didn¡¯t have the resources and umtion of the Xuanzhen Sect. ¡°It seems that our Earth Wind Alliance can only do this¡ Ning Zhaoran, make your move!¡± At that moment, an old Profound Immortal from the Earth Wind Alliance spoke up! Upon hearing this, Ning Zhaoran nodded, and immediately took out a crystal! Meanwhile, four elders arrived from outside! ¡°To the four Chess Saints, please!¡± The old Profound Immortal of the Earth Wind Alliance respectfully spoke, handing a crystal to the four! Through the crystal, the chess board Ning Zhaoran was facing suddenly appeared before the four Chess Saints. Seeing this, everyone understood. ¡°The Earth Wind Alliance¡ Are they nning to cheat?¡± ¡°Good heavens, it¡¯s the Tianyan Four Chess Saints? These four were once the guiding stars of the Diling Realm, using chess as their path to enlightenment!¡± ¡°With these four intervening, fortune will likely fall into the hands of the Earth Wind Alliance!¡± Everybody eximed. And the Tianyan Four Chess Saints also nodded, with the leading Chess Saint Bai Yizi saying: ¡°To y the ultimate chess game of the mortal world has always been our cherished wish!¡± As they looked at the crystal, all four Chess Saints were taken aback. ¡°What a fearsome chessboard!¡± ¡°It contains hundreds of permutations, tens of thousands of lethal moves¡¡± ¡°Suchplexity, truly terrifying!¡± All four expressed their sentiments. Then, they began to ponder deeply, making moves one after the other. Finally, after a long time, the Earth Wind Alliance broke through the first chess board! Chapter 133 - 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles_2 Chapter 133: Chapter 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles_2 Meanwhile, Mu Chenxi of the Xuanzhen Sect from the Earth Spirit Alliance had broken through the second Array te, eliciting a collective gasp from the crowd. These three people seemed to have be the sole hope of everyone present! Very soon. Mu Chenxi of the Xuanzhen Sect, once again, had broken through the third Array te! However, this time her Heavenly Performance Sand Table shattered in her hands! It turned to dust on the spot! Seeing this, everyone was shocked. ¡°The Xuanzhen Sect¡¯s treasure¡ destroyed?¡± ¡°Without it, it¡¯s probably going to be very difficult for Mu Chenxi to continue breaking formations!¡± ¡°s, this is, after all, rted to the First Heavenly Realm; obtaining that treasure is truly difficult!¡± Everybody was sighing. At this moment, Mu Chenxi¡¯s face turned pale, and her heart bled at the sight of the shattered Heavenly Performance Sand Table in her hands! That represented the blood, sweat, and intelligence of hundreds of generations of Sect Masters of the Xuanzhen Sect. Elsewhere, Lu Xing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he ced down the final piece. The second game was broken in an instant! But it was at that very moment! Lu Xing¡¯s full head of ck hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye! The whole world was shocked beyond belief. Just how much effort had Lu Xing expended? Sitting in front of the third game, Lu Xing just nced at the board once, and his hair turnedpletely white! Wrinkles even began to appear on his face. Life was slipping away! Everyone present was shocked and horrified. ¡°Alt- ¡± A terrible scream suddenly erupted! The crowd turned around, only to see one of the four Chess Saints invited by the Earth Wind Alliance vomiting blood, his eyes filled with blood vessels, falling dead on the spot! His life force was exhausted! Only then was the second gamepletely broken! In front, Ning Zhaoran stepped up to the third game. At this moment, the remaining three Chess Saints almost fell into madness. ¡°I don¡¯t ept this¡ How can there be a chess game in the world that we can¡¯t break?!¡± ¡°Even if it means burning everything, we must solve these games!¡± ¡°Breakit open!¡± The remaining three Chess Saints suddenly fell into a strange state. Their souls appeared outside their bodies and began to tremble! With each move they taught Ning Zhaoran, their souls trembled even more intensely. One piece after another! The three Chess Saints suddenly had their souls return to their bodies! All three of them immediately vomited blood, copsed to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth! ¡°The three Chess Saints!¡± ¡°Quick, bring the Miraculous Elixirs that nourish the soul, the three Chess Saints¡¯ souls are injured!¡± ¡°This is horrifying, quickly save the three sages¡¡± The many Profound Immortals of the Earth Wind Alliance were scrambling to speak! The whole audience was stunned. They had reached the peak of disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s over, with the Heavenly Performance Sand Table shattered, Lu Xing gray-haired after two games, and four Chess Saints with one dead and three injured¡¡± ¡°No one else can break these nine great formations!¡± ¡°The treasures have emerged, yet no one can possess them!¡± The entire ce fell silent, with people feeling an extreme wariness towards the chess games and Barriers in front of them! However, just then, suddenly another white bone table disappeared. ¡°Who is this person who managed to break through the first chess game?¡± ¡°Never seen him before, seems to be a local from Huangtian State?¡± ¡°An unknown name indeed¡¡± All eyes turned to observe. This person was none other than Xiao Yan. At this moment, following the guidance from the First Immortal General within him, he had broken through the first chess game. ¡°Haha, I am the protagonist of this world!¡± He was extremely excited, and the attention from everyone around made his confidence surge. He immediately walked up to the second Array te and said, ¡°Elder Yang, quick, teach me how to break through the second one!¡± ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t need to think?!¡± Inside him, Yang Miechen coldly said, ¡°This chess game is extremely terrifying, do you think it¡¯s easy?¡± Xiao Yan¡¯s expression turned a bit unpleasant, but he still said, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant¡ Please, Elder Yang, take the trouble.¡± The First Immortal General, Yang Miechen, then fell into silence, as if contemting! ¡°Vertical eight, Horizontal ten!¡± After a long time, the voice of the First Immortal General finally rang out! Xiao Yan immediately began to make his move. Before long, the second game was broken! In an instant, all eyes were on him! ¡°This person actually broke through the second game?¡± ¡°Moreover, he seems very rxed, as if he is just ying around!¡± ¡°Incredible!¡± Everyone was amazed. And Xiao Yan walked up to the third game with an air of confidence. This time, he took even longer. But, ultimately, Yang Miechen once again came up with the solution to the game! The third game was also broken. This time, everyone was shocked. ¡°This genius¡¡± ¡°Actually solved three games on his own?¡± ¡°Even more formidable than the Little Chess Saint Lu Xing!¡± The world was astounded. Xiao Yan was now seated before the fourth chessboard. Behind him unfolded a long path. ¡°Esteemed fellow, may we apany you inside? You can choose any opportunity first!¡± ¡°Yes, if you allow us to follow, whatever you want, we will give you!¡± ¡°Fellow, you are from Huangtian State; you deserve better. Our Yue Family is a Golden Immortal ss Family, and we invite you to join us!¡± Suddenly, countless people began to speak, trying to recruit and curry favor! Xiao Yan¡¯s confidence was sky-high at this moment! Taking advantage of the fact that Elder Yang was still pondering inside him, he turned around to face the crowd and said with a sneer, ¡°My name is Xiao Yan!¡± ¡°Today, anyone willing to be my follower can enter with me and obtain the Supreme opportunities!¡± He pointed to individuals in the crowd! ¡°You, you, you, and you too!¡± ¡°Come over here!¡± The ones he pointed to were almost all the most beautiful Saintesses from the various sects! Upon seeing this, many Saintesses turned pale. ¡°That¡¯s too much!¡± Chapter 134 - 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles_3 Chapter 134: Chapter 123 The Golden Finger Fumbles_3 ¡± Who do you think you are?¡± ¡°Do you consider yourself an emperor, entitled to choose concubines at will?¡± Many Saintesses were angry. But some were pondering. ¡°This person is so young, yet he has broken through three chess puzzles; his future is boundless¡¡± ¡°Worth aligning with¡¡± ¡°Let¡¯s follow him inside first!¡± Right away, indeed, more than a dozen beautiful young women stepped forward, following behind him. Seeing this, Xiao Yan was even more overjoyed. ¡°Hahaha¡¡± Heughed heartily, his gaze sweeping around unscrupulously, suddenlynding on Qing Lan and Xia Yao! These two were top-tier beauties. ¡°And you two!¡± Seeing this, both Qing Lan and Xia Yao¡¯s expressions turned cold! Xiao Yan, pointing at Lu Rang, said: ¡°Hehe, let me tell you, although his cultivation level is decent, he simply can¡¯t enter here!¡± ¡°Only by following me can you seize the opportunity of this ce!¡± ¡°Are youing or not? If youe, I will grant you a supreme future!¡± He was very generous! But Qing Lan was just indifferent. Xia Yao even scoffed, ¡°First break through this fourth chess puzzle before you speak!¡± Xiao Yan sneered, ¡°I will definitely break it, not just four, but all nine!¡± Having said that, he turned and waited. ¡°Vertical Eleven, Horizontal Seventeen!¡± Not long after, the voice of the First Immortal General inside him finally sounded! Xiao Yan immediately rejoiced and made his move! He kept ying pieces but failed to notice that the voice of the First Immortal General Yang Miechen was growing fainter! Finally, the fourth game was also broken! The whole ce was shocked! ¡°Heavens, the fourth, broken?¡± ¡°A prodigy, a rare prodigy indeed!¡± ¡°This, he must be the chosen one; he may very well obtain the inheritance of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± In an instant, everyone¡¯s eyes zed! If breaking through three puzzles was nothing remarkable before, then shattering the fourth one now utterly proved that Xiao Yan¡¯s future was unlimited! ¡°We wish to follow you, Young Master!¡± ¡°Thankyou, Young Master for taking us under your wing!¡± Instantly, many beautiful Saintesses who were just hesitating or indifferent came forward, following behind Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan became even more proud. He turned to look at Xia Yao and Qing Lan and said: ¡°I¡¯m giving you onest chance!¡± After speaking, he also nced at Lu Rang and said: ¡°Lu Rang, is it? I see you have a decent cultivation level. Come here, bring the two over, and I will bestow upon you the honor of being my foremost follower¡¡± ¡°By my side, even if you are a dog, you will have a boundless future!¡± He was arrogantly overconfident! Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was somewhat puzzled. Since leaving the vige, he had never seen someone so conceited¡ ¡°Hmm, you are indeed quite remarkable. I have a ce to rmend to you, how about youe back to the vige to raise pigs with me?¡± Lu Rang retorted. At these words, rage shed in Xiao Yan¡¯s eyes! ¡°Trash, dare to mock me?!¡± He angrily shouted, ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, then just stand here and watch. Once I have obtained the inheritance of the First Heavenly Realm, you won¡¯t even have the opportunity to be my dog!¡± He turned away at once. ¡°Young Master Xiao Yan, quickly break the formation! If you break it, I will be yours from now on,¡± said a seductive Saintess, giving him a sultry wink. ¡°Young Master Xiao Yan, lead us inside!¡± ¡°Right, quickly demonstrate your might!¡± For a moment, all the Saintesses who hade along were speaking up one after the other! Xiao Yan¡¯s face lit up with a smile, and he turned and walked to the fifth chessboard, whispering: ¡°Elder Yang, hurry, help me!¡± But inside him, the weak voice of the First Immortal General Yang Miechen echoed: ¡°Kid, I¡¯ve broken four major arrays, and my soul has consumed too much. This fifth chess puzzle is terrifyingly infinite; just one nce nearly shattered my soul. Fend for yourself¡ I¡ need to rest¡¡± After speaking, the presence of the First Immortal General quieted downpletely, as though falling into a deep slumber! Instantly, Xiao Yan¡¯s face turned green. Ni Ma, what is this situation? At such a critical moment, with everyone watching and expecting him to break through¡ his golden finger¡ breaks down?? He doubted his life on the spot!! Chapter 135 - 124 Li Fan Takes Action 1 Chapter 135: Chapter 124 Li Fan Takes Action 1 The First Immortal General, Yang Miechen, within him had fallen into a slumber! Xiao Yan¡¯s face immediately turned green. What¡what was happening??? He was ready to make a big ssh, to take countless concubines, to reach the pinnacle of life! All those beautiful and curvy Saintesses were watching him. And now he was supposed to say it wasn¡¯t happening? He felt his scalp tingle with numbness! ¡°No, I absolutely cannot fail¡¡± Clenching his teeth, he said, ¡°Even without Elder Yang¡¯s help, I am still the favored son of heaven, I am still the protagonist of this world!¡± He resolved to break the situation himself! However, merely by ncing at the chessboard, he felt dizzy right away! The collision of countless rules, the interweaving of millions of ways¡ ¡°I don¡¯t believe this¡¡± He struggled to randomly pick up a chess piece! ¡°Xiao Yan is going to make his move!¡± ¡°Every piece he ces is writing his legend!¡± ¡°I seem to see an invincible being rising up, it might be a good thing to follow by his side, to be graced by him¡¡± Behind him, the many Saintesses who hade along were now filled with expectation in their beautiful eyes! ¡°Step aside, I was the first toe over, I am Xiao Yan¡¯s favorite!¡± ¡°Heh, right now we are all just followers, want to fight for favor? Ask Xiao Yan first!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the most suitable Daopanion for Xiao Yan, rightdies?¡± Some Saintesses even started to feel jealous and envious! Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Xiao Yan¡¯s water-colored chess piece finally fell! At the instant the piecended. ¡°Aah ¡± Xiao Yan suddenly let out a piercing scream, his whole body staggering backwards, his face turning pale, trembling all over. He felt like his soul was almost being torn apart. He copsed onto the ground with a soft buttocks! He had failed! Seeing this, the group of Saintesses who were full of expectations were instantly stunned. Completely stunned. ¡°Xiao Yan has¡ failed?¡± ¡°No, how is that possible¡¡± ¡°Just now, Xiao Yan broke through four Arrays as if it were nothing, why is he so weak now, just after making one move, he lost?¡± ¡°Could it be that the fifth round is that terrifying?¡± They were all shocked. Some Saintesses even turned pale on the spot. ¡°I thought he truly was a favored son of heaven, turns out he¡¯s just a silver- ted gun head!¡± ¡°Useless stuff!¡± ¡°We might as well leave, there¡¯s no future in following him!¡± The Saintesses who had been vying with each other now left one after another! Not even sparing him a second nce! Seeing this, Xiao Yan subconsciously looked up, struggling to say, ¡°No¡¡± These were all the concubines he fancied¡ How could they just leave¡ ¡°Kid, that¡¯s what you get for showing off, nowyou¡¯ve really blown it!¡± On the other side, Lu Rang also smiled leisurely and said, ¡°I think you, my friend, don¡¯t even have the qualifications to feed pigs in our vige!¡± Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt an extreme humiliation, and he angrily said, ¡°Arrogant for what? I broke through four Arrays, I am the number one genius in the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°What are you? Even a single Array, you couldn¡¯t break!¡± Hearing this, Lu Rang just smiled slightly and said, ¡°Who said I couldn¡¯t break it?¡± ¡°I just haven¡¯t made my move yet?? ¡± ¡°Everyone watch carefully, this young master is about to break the Array!¡± Having said that, he turned to look at the Array te! At the same time, a crystal in his sleeve suddenly lit up! It was something given by the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others for contacting Xuan Tianzhou at critical moments. He had not acted until now because he was using the Crystal to contact the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others to find his master! By now, they should have reached the little mountain vige and found his master. At this moment. Xuan Tianzhou! In the Southern Territory, a small mountain vige. Yuanyang Holy Lord, Mu Qianning, and others had received Lu Rang¡¯s message and hurried over. Now entering the courtyard, Yuanyang Holy Lord reported, ¡°Senior, Young Master Lu and Young Master Dugu have run into some trouble in Huangtian State. Young Master Lu just contacted us urgently through the Transmission Crystal¡¡± Li Fan was originally teaching Xinning poetry. Hearing this, he was momentarily stunned. Ran into trouble? Did he encounter strongpetitors? And what was this Transmission Crystal? He immediately asked, ¡°Transmission Crystal?¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord then took out the Transmission Crystal and said, ¡°Senior, this is it. It seems that Young Master Lu and others have encountered several challenging chess games there, which they can¡¯t solve¡¡± Li Fan took the Crystal and indeed saw the scene on the other side! Over there, Lu Rang was sitting in front of a chessboard, which was crisscrossed with lines¡ªit was clearly a game of chess! Wow, this thing¡ quite magical! Li Fan was somewhat surprised. But he immediately understood that this must be a treasure from the Cultivation World! ¡°Treasures from the Cultivation World are indeed magical. A crystal that can function like a smartphone? Is this¡ simr to video calling?¡± He felt a sense of novelty, but then his attention was drawn to the chessboard. After all, under the torture of the System, Li Fan had also practiced chess diligently! By theter stages, he could only y against himself¡ So, in the path of chess, he had been lonely for a long time! ncing at the chess game across from him, Li Fan casually said, ¡°Vertical Ten, Horizontal Nine, the Heaven¡¯s Gate guards the pce gate, the dragon head moves out, and victory is assured.¡± Although the chess game seemedplicated, the moves were hidden too shallowly, and it could be won in just a few steps. On the other side of the crystal. Upon hearing these words, Lu Rang was immediately delighted, thinking that his master indeed knew the path of chess! He immediately yed three stones ording to what Li Fan had said! After the three stones were yed! Boom! The first chessboard disappeared directly! The second one appeared! In an instant, everyone present was extremely surprised and shocked! ¡°What? He really understands the path of chess?¡± ¡°The words of this man are true, and moreover, he only used¡ three stones to break the first game?!¡± ¡°I remember, just now the four great Chess Saints took several hundred moves to win the first game!¡± Everyone was discussing fervently! The three Chess Saints, having recovered some of their energy, were even more shocked at the scene. ¡°How did he do it? Breaking the game with just three stones¡ That¡¯s too terrifying, right?¡± The leading Chess Saint, Bai Yizi, had eyes filled with incredulity. ¡°The simpler the method of breaking the game, the clearer the grasp of the game. This person must have thoroughly researched it!¡± ¡°No wonder he was motionless for so long; he had actually seen through the entire game!¡± They were extremely solemn! Hearing their words, the surrounding people were also shocked! ¡°This Lu Rang¡ seems to be even more promising?¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed! Xia Yao and Qing Lan were extremely surprised. As for Lu Rang, he simply nced at the crowd and said, ¡°If you are willing to go back to the vige with me to raise pigs, farm, and do chores, it¡¯s not toote to sign up now¡ª ¡± Having said that, he moved to the second chair. On the other side of the crystal. Seeing a new chess game appear before him, Li Fan couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit delighted. This game was a bit more interesting than the previous one. Still, he said without a second thought, ¡°Vertical Eleven, Horizontal Seven, the ck Jiao is decapitated, bridging above and below, encircle and attack, directly aiming for the Yellow Dragon!¡± On the other side of the crystal. Lu Rang yed five stones in ordance with Li Fan¡¯s words! After the five ck stones were ced, the second chessboard also disappeared in an instant! The second game was broken! The third chessboard appeared! At this moment, everyone was getting restless. ¡± Five stones¡ to break the second board?¡± ¡°Moreover, this time he scarcely thought about it!¡± ¡°This is too terrifying, right? How did he do it?¡± The people onsite were all shocked, as such formidable chess games¡ and theter it went, the harder it got, the more time it consumed! Yet, Lu Rang seemed to do the opposite; he hardly pondered the second game! Lu Rang took his seat at the third game immediately! For the third game, he also didn¡¯t think much and picked up the ck stone to y! He yed seven stones in a row! ¡°Boom¡ª¡± The third game was broken! The entire ce was once again shocked. Three stones broke the first game. Five stones broke the second game. Even the third game, which had turned Little Chess Saint Lu Xing¡¯s hair white in an instant, reduced the Xuanzhen Sect Celestial Evolution Sand Table to powder, and even caused one of the four great Chess Saints to die and three to be injured, only took seven stones! What kind of realm was this?! All eyes were on him, every gaze filled with solemnity! Lu Rang then hurriedly took his seat at the fourth game. He had just sat down when suddenly, a ck stone was yed on the opposite side! This time, Lu Rang held the white stones! And the first move was made by the opponent! This turn of events shocked everyone present! ¡°Oh my, what¡¯s this situation? There¡¯s actually a change on the other side?¡± ¡°This is¡ They dare not let Lu Rang go first? They dare not let him hold the ck stones?¡± ¡°Unbelievable¡ Lu Rang¡¯s chess strength has actually frightened the opponent?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded! Chapter 136 - 125: Breaking the Chess Game!_1 Chapter 136: Chapter 125: Breaking the Chess Game!_1 As soon as Lu Rang made his move, he broke through three games consecutively! Moreover, he broke each game so simply! Even the toughest third game was won with just seven moves, defeating his opponent. By the fourth game, he had even forced his opponent to change tactics! What does this mean? ¡°It seems that even Xiao Yan, the strongest just now, did not manage to do this¡¡± ¡°Xiao Yan? He¡¯s far behind. Xiao Yan has to ponder deeply over the chessboard, unlike Lu Rang, who casually ces a few pieces and secures victory!¡± ¡°He¡¯s invincible. Where does this Lu Range from? What is his background?¡± Everyone was extremely shocked. ¡°A prodigy of ancient times, this is indeed a true prodigy of ancient times!¡± ¡°Born Divine Hand¡ To possess such cultivation at his age!¡± The three Chess Saints eximed in surprise! Even Little Chess Saint Lu Xing was now staring dumbfounded at Lu Rang. How terrifying must the opponent be? The chess problems that he himself couldn¡¯t solve even with white hair¡ the opponent had solved so easily¡ Though he had never been arrogant in the path of chess, he had lived his life with deep confidence, yet at this moment, he suddenly felt infinitely insignificant. ¡°Forcing the opponent to change tactics, can Lu Rang still handle it?¡± Everyone watched Lu Rang intently, nerves on edge. Lu Rang was also taken aback for a moment, his feelings quiteplex at this time. Could his Master be¡ too abnormal? The challenges that drain people¡¯s lifelong efforts are nothing in front of his Master! Forcing the opponent to change tactics¡ And at this moment. On the other side of the Crystal. As the fourth game appeared, Li Fan was also somewhat surprised. ¡°The person ying chess with Lu Rang is also quite capable.¡± The first three games, though intricate andplex, had very obvious ws for the opponent. But this fourth game was different; the opponent stopped attacking and began defending, with quite a remarkable defensive strategy. Most people would have great difficulty unraveling it. However, Li Fan only nced at it twice before continuing: ¡°Vertical one, horizontal four, star and moon in chorus, driving the heavenly bull to retreat, two forces interconnect, summoning the azure dragon out of its den, divide the realm at four, to sever its head!¡± On the other side of the Crystal. Lu Rang continued to ce his pieces ording to what Li Fan had said! This time, it wasn¡¯t so fast! Not until the tenth piece was ced did the fourth game finally copse! The fourth game was also broken! Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded. Could it be any more terrifying? ¡°Forcing an opponent to change tactics, and despite having the disadvantage of moving second, to break the game in just ten moves¡ how profound must this person¡¯s chess skills be?¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡ simply unimaginable!¡± ¡°This person is a genuine unparalleled genius!¡± All eyes becameplicated as they looked at Lu Rang, their expressions havingpletely changed. ¡°What kind of extraordinary talent is this¡ his grasp over the game must have reached the celestial realm!¡± The three Chess Saints wore expressions of frightened awe. ¡± Who would have thought that Young Master Dugu¡¯s brother would be so formidable? It must be that Young Master Dugu and his fellow disciples hail from an extraordinary lineage, right?¡± Even Qing Lan was now looking at Dugu Yuqing withplex emotions sparkling in her beautiful eyes. Indeed, she had felt from the beginning that the two were not ordinary¡ She just didn¡¯t expect them to be this incredible! But in response, a flicker of embarrassment crossed Dugu Yuqing¡¯s mind as he said: ¡°You tter us, Miss Qing Lan¡ We reallye from a vige, where Brother Lu Rang¡ genuinely works thend.¡± He knew right away that it had to be the Master¡¯s doing. Otherwise, Lu Rang would not understand the first thing about the path of chess. Still, he himself had not expected the Master to be so formidable, pressuring the opponent to change tactics, and, after the change, still breaking through the game in just ten moves. Master truly has profound schrly wisdom, masterful in everyway! At these words, both Xia Yao and Qing Lan showed expressions ofplete disbelief on their faces! Working thend in a vige? Such an unmatched talent would still till the fields? ¡°Too much modesty turns into arrogance!¡± Xia Yao couldn¡¯t help but grind her teeth! Dugu Yuqing fell silent, wondering how speaking the truth could lead to disbelief. At this moment, Lu Rang was already standing before the fifth game. Undoubtedly, he was still holding the white pieces, facing the ck, and furthermore, had the initiative. Yet, almost without hesitation, Lu Rang picked up a piece and yed it! The fifth game, thirteen moves! Thirteen moves topletely break through! Everyone in the hall was so stunned they¡¯d be numb! The sixth round! When it came to the sixth round, Lu Rang¡¯s gaze seemed to linger for two seconds, but it was only two seconds! Afterward, he made consecutive moves! Neen moves! Neen movester, the sixth game was broken! The entire venue fell intoplete silence, everybody¡¯s eyes fixed on him! The seventh game! When Lu Rang appeared before the seventh matchup, on the bone chair opposite him, a skeletal figure suddenly materialized! The skeleton, sitting across from him, held a white piece in its hand, making the first move! And everyone, upon seeing the skeleton appear, was utterly shocked! ¡°What is that? Could the skeleton still be alive?¡± ¡°Too terrifying, is this a spirit from the Burial Immortal Mountain Range that¡¯s still alive?¡± ¡°Inconceivable.¡± People started eximing one after another! An elder from the Earth Spirit Alliance was even more astonished and said: ¡°No, after tens of thousands of years, the skeleton hasn¡¯t dposed? And the joints look like white jade¡ Does this skeleton¡ emit a faint Immortal aura?!¡± Upon hearing this, the entire ce erupted intomotion! An aura of Immortality?! For the entire Lower World, Immortality¡ was like distant stars! Something only heard of in legends! But now, there appeared a white bone with an aura of Immortality, ying a game against the people of the Lower World! ¡°To be able to y a match with it, that¡¯s already a tremendous opportunity!¡± ¡°s, howmentable! If only we could witness this match, perhaps we could make further progress¡¡± ¡°The Burial Immortal Mountain Range must have terrifying opportunities. We must obtain what¡¯s here!¡± Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and fervor! The more powerful the skeleton seemed, the more terrifying the hidden opportunities were believed to be! ¡°No, we must devise a n, to win over this Lu Rang¡¡± ¡°We must win him over, he¡¯s a genius of a generation, and moreover, he is very likely the only one who can break the Barrier and enter!¡± ¡°Our sect¡¯s Saintess, may finally have found a suitable match¡¡± Many old monsters were pondering this and spoke in hushed tones. The young elites on-site had even moreplex expressions, feeling a bitter ache in their hearts. This was too heaven-defying¡ Even from the other side, where Xiao Yany copsed on the ground, a barely discernible voice resonated within him: ¡°This skeleton, such a familiar aura¡ I remember now, he¡ the Southern Heavenly War General who stood shoulder to shoulder with me¡¡± Meanwhile, Lu Rang sat opposite the skeleton, contemting his move three seconds after his opponent hadid down a piece. On the other side of the crystal. Li Fan, watching the other¡¯s ys, was overjoyed! ¡°Excellent!¡± He couldn¡¯t help but praise, the chess yer that Lu Rang was facing indeed had some talent. ¡°Spanning northwest, the dragon-ying grid, Vertical Ten, Horizontal Seventeen, blotting out the sky¡¡± Li Fan kept on speaking, And on the other side of the crystal, Lu Rang followed Li Fan¡¯s words, making twenty-one moves in session! The moment thest piece was ced, the chessboard disappeared! In front of Lu Rang, the white skeleton suddenly stood up, raised its hand, and pointed at Lu Rang. A ray of light shot into Lu Rang¡¯s body! This beam of light contained countless runes and various golden inscriptions! Lu Rang felt a sudden shift, for he found that his cultivation level had skyrocketed past the Xuanxian Realm in that instant¡ Moreover, it had directly entered the Mysterious Immortal Sixth Heaven! He had absorbed all the cultivation and essence of the white skeleton, and even more had been stored within him, forming the foundation of his path! ¡°What a great opportunity¡¡± He couldn¡¯t help but speak out loud. However, at the same time, the moment those golden inscriptions entered Lu Rang¡¯s body, they were crushed and dissipated into nothing! Lu Rang had absorbed the other¡¯s cultivation and essence, but its legacy¡ was obliterated by something inside Lu Rang¡ as if it disdained the legacy for being too trite¡ The skeleton seemed to sense that its legacy had been destroyed, quivering on its own before it shattered! Outside, everyone was so shell-shocked they went numb! Utterly numb! ¡°An existence with an aura of Immortality,pletely overpowered in a game¡ utterly crushed¡¡± The old Chess Saint Bai Yizi was visibly twitching. ¡°This youth is definitely of an Immortal lineage!¡± An old Xuanxian eximed in shock. ¡°How terrifying, has this youth received the legacy of a great figure from the Immortal Domain?¡± The rest couldn¡¯t help but marvel. In the eyes of Dark Moon Sect¡¯s Sect Master Yin Yuanchen, a barely perceptible blood-red gleam flickered: ¡°Excellent, excellent, all the opportunities obtained just now will eventually be mine¡¡± Within Xiao Yan, the First Immortal General, Yang Miechen, muttered to himself: ¡°Why did I not encounter this youth, such an excellent heir¡ The Southern Heavenly War General has found a good inheritor¡¡± His words were filled withplexity¡ and envy!! If he only knew that the Southern Heavenly War General¡¯s legacy didn¡¯t even qualify to enter Lu Rang¡¯s body¡ who knows what he would think! And Lu Rang took his seat before the eighth matchup. During the eighth, likewise, a skeleton appeared opposite Lu Rang. However, this skeleton had bones of shimmering golden color! They looked incredibly sacred! The Golden Skeleton! Its sacred aura caused everyone on site to be immensely shocked! ¡°Heaven, is this¡ Immortality?¡± ¡°The remains of an Immortal?¡± ¡°How is that possible¡ how could the Burial Immortal Mountain Range bury an Immortal?!¡± The entire venue erupted! Chapter 137 - 126 Guidance to Immortality_1 Chapter 137: Chapter 126 Guidance to Immortality_1 The Golden Skeleton appeared opposite Lu Rang. It caused a huge shock among everyone present. If one were to say that the White Jade Skeleton before merely possessed a trace of an immortal aura, then the Golden Skeleton that appeared now had an aura of immortality that was incredibly dense! 11 what exactly is buried in the Burial Immortal Mountain Range? ¡°The opportunities of this ce are terrifying to the extreme¡¡± ¡°Lu Rang, this child, is bound to defy the heavens¡¡± All those present felt extreme emotion! Within Xiao Yan¡¯s body, even the First Immortal General Yang Miechen, who had fallen into slumber just moments before, eximed in shock: ¡°Battle Li, the Quasi-Immortal Monarch¡ from the First Heavenly Realm, he once ughtered three beings of the same realm and fought to his death against the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch of the Western Immortal Realm?!¡± While everyone was in shock, the Golden Skeleton made its move and ced a piece! With this move ced, everyone felt as if a kind of rhyme was born with it! On the other side of the crystal. The joy in Li Fan¡¯s eyes grew stronger! ¡°Good, these opponents are somewhat interesting.¡± Their strength seemed to be even stronger than before! But their style of chess still had constraints! Li Fan immediately said, ¡°Three ahead, four behind¡¡± On the other side, Lu Rang followed his chess moves. Li Fan watched the opponent¡¯s chess style and a hint of regret appeared on his face! ¡°What a pity, although very strong, they failed to see another world within the chess game!¡± A thought struck his heart, the opponent, although slightly lower in realm, indeed had some talent, causing Li Fan to not help but feel an admiration for talent! ¡°Since fate has brought us this game, let me show you another world¡¡± Li Fan immediately spoke, ¡°Interwoven crosswise, water through the dragon¡¯s fields, star positions shifting, vertical and horizontal nines¡¡± On the other side of the crystal. Lu Rang followed the words of Li Fan, ying one piece after another, continuously cing them down! This time, both sides actually went back and forth, ying over thirty moves! Everyone on site watched with bated breath. ¡°Lu Rang is too terrifying, he can actually match blows back and forth with an Immortal¡¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡¡± ¡°Shockingly¡¡± They all had their minds numbed! But then, as the pieces continued to fall, the aura of the Golden Skeleton kept changing, bing more brilliant and more powerful! ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why do I feel¡ that Immortal is bing even more formidable?¡± ¡°Incredible, his aura seems to be undergoing a qualitative change¡¡± ¡°Heavens, no way? This¡¡± Everyone found it unbelievable! And Chess Saint Bai Yizi stood up trembling, saying: ¡°The Immortal is gaining enlightenment from his game with Lu Rang, enhancing himself¡ I understand now, he is not truly Immortal, but this chess game can make himplete!¡± He stepped forward and eximed, ¡°I must take a look!¡± His eyes were full of blood vessels, ferociously straining, but as soon as he stepped forward, touching a whiff of qi, he burst into a blood mist instantly! Nothing was left of him! Absolute silence fell over the venue. The words of the old Chess Saint struck everyone¡ like thunder. A single game of chess allows a being close to immortality to cross that threshold? For those from the Heavenly Realm, immortality was an extremely remote concept; they had not even seen a Taiyi Golden Immortal. But they knew this was a being of myth and legend¡ Now, everyone looking at Lu Rang had their faces full of respect. Yes, respect! How could they not hold in high regard a powerful figure who could prompt an almost Immortal to gain enlightenment? As Lu Rang¡¯s pieces continuously fell! The aura of the Golden Skeleton grew increasingly powerful. Finally, Lu Rang ced thest piece! And in that instant, the chessboard disappeared! The Golden Skeleton¡ lost! But, at that very instant, the Golden Skeleton emitted a terrifying aura! That was the true aura of an Immortal! Horrifying beyond measure! In the midst of the arena, everyone present couldn¡¯t help but kneel and worship! The Heavens trembled! The cosmos, countless worlds shook with a thunderous rumble! When someone bes an Immortal Monarch, all the Heavens and Myriad Realms sense it! In the Million Lower Realms, nearly half the worlds felt it! ¡°Heavens, did someone from the Lower World take that step?! ¡°How is this possible!¡± ¡°What exactly is going on? The Lower World ¡ it has been hundreds of thousands of years since anyone has be an Immortal¡ could it be those Three Great Heavenly Realms?¡± ¡°It must be ¡ only the Three Great Heavenly Realms could possibly harbor an Immortal-level being¡¡± The Myriad Realms were astounded! Moreover, a horrifying ripple surged straight toward the Immortal Domain! Immortal Domain, South Heavenly Gate! ¡°This is not good! Someone in the Lower World has achieved the Path of Immortal Certification! Quickly report to the Immortal Monarchs!¡± The gatekeeper general¡¯s pupils constricted! North Heavenly Gate! ¡°The aura of an Immortal Monarch emanates from the Lower World¡ there might be a formidable being there. Light the Immortal Monarch incense candle quickly, and inform all the Immortal Monarchs¡¡± In the Immortal Domain, every location that observed the Lower World trembled violently as one message after another spread throughout the Immortal Domain! The Immortal Domain was shaken by a great quake! Because, anyone who certifies as an Immortal Monarch is a unique genius of the ages! Such a rarity in ten thousand years! The emergence of each one signifies that the structure of the Immortal Domain is to be rewritten! To appear in the Lower World means that trouble is likely brewing¡ All this, the masses of the Heavenly Realm were unaware of. At this moment, everyone from the Four Great Alliances knelt, their expressions filled with excitement, unable to contain themselves! ¡°Our realm has actually produced an Immortal Monarch¡ ??¡± ¡°Legend has it that only the Four Great Heavenly Realms could possibly see such an event¡ Is our realm truly the First Heavenly Realm?¡± ¡°It must be, it surely must be ¡¡± All heads bowed, faces flushed with excitement! Throughout the arena, only Dugu Yuqing was in a daze and did not kneel because he possessed treasures on his person capable of resisting this kind of aura! ¡°Master¡ guided the other to take this step?¡± Dugu Yuqing murmured, just how powerful was his master? At this moment, he hardly dared to think¡ Yin Yuanchen of the Dark Moon Sect, at this moment, hid a deep and bloody light in his eyes as he knelt on the ground, his heart also trembling tremendously. ¡°How could such a terrifying existence be hidden in this realm¡ It¡¯s impossible, absolutely impossible!¡± He watched Lu Rang¡¯s retreating figure, his eyes filled with wariness! And within Xiao Yan¡¯s body, a voice cried out loudly, ringing out: ¡°Young man, you must follow this individual¡ he, he is invincible!!! Even Yang Miechen did not know how to describe it, except with the words ¡°invincible.¡± And at that moment, the Golden Skeleton that had be Immortal suddenly emitted a sigh. ¡°Thanks to the senior¡¯s support, Zhan Li may have died tens of thousands of years ago, yet now he is without regrets¡¡± A sad yet relieved voice emerged from the Golden Skeleton as it bowed deeply toward Lu Rang! After the bow, the Golden Skeleton turned into nothingness instantly! However, an invisible will left its skeletal form and departed from this ce. That formless will floated up into the skies of the Heavenly Realm, then rapidly flew towards Xuan Tianzhou, Southern Territory. Itnded outside a small mountain vige and knelt toward the vige. ¡°The great kindness of the senior, this junior will never forget. If after battling my nemesis in the Superior Immortal Domain, I retain even a shred of existence, I shall surely attend to the senior¡¡± And then it left. It broke through the barrier of the Heavenly Realm and shot straight into the Immortal Domain¡ After that, it sought out a certain formidable enemy! Chapter 138 - 127 Wake Up i Chapter 138: Chapter 127 Wake Up i Heavenly Realm, Huangtian State. The Undying Golden Skeleton shattered and disappeared just like that! The terrifying pressure that reached the very pinnacle vanished in an instant¡ All those present were bewildered, their eyes still filled with an expression of utter disbelief. ¡°What on earth happened¡¡± ¡°Why, just as it took that immortal step, did it perish¡¡± ¡°What urred?¡± Everyone was perplexed,pletely clueless as to what had just transpired. ¡°Zhan Li had long been dead; what was left was merely his will, to enable a mere will to transcend immortality¡¡± Inside Xiao Yan, First Immortal General Yang Miechen spoke with a voice full of fear: ¡°Behind Lu Rang, there must stand an existence¡ beyond imagination¡¡± At this very moment, Lu Rang was somewhat puzzled. Damn, that white bone skeleton at least granted some cultivation level and essence, allowing him to break through to the Mysterious Immortal Sixth Heaven. This Golden Skeleton in front of him gave him nothing¡ Too stingy. However, he didn¡¯t ponder over it for long and proceeded forward. Ahead, the ninth chessboard had already appeared. Everyone from the Four Great Alliances also stood up, watching Lu Rang! This was thest one! ¡°The eighth chessboard already brought out an Immortal, how terrifying will the ninth chessboard be?¡± ¡°Unimaginable¡¡± ¡°Anticipation is killing me; Immortals have appeared, so could it be possible that the ninth chessboard will bring out the ¡®Immortal King¡¯ only mentioned in legends¡¡± All eyes were eagerly fixed on Lu Rang. But then, in the next moment, everyone¡¯s jaws dropped. Because, the moment Lu Rang sat down, the chessboard in front of him¡ simply disappeared! It just vanished! All those present were dumbstruck. What was happening¡? Even Lu Rang was stunned. Just then, a faint illusory shadow suddenly appeared in front of Lu Rang. One could barely make out that it was a man, peerlessly handsome! He looked at Lu Rang and bowed toward the crystal in Lu Rang¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Since a senior disciple hase here, and has shown great favor to Zhan Li, enabling him to fulfill an old grudge, Immortal Monarch Yu Shuang dares not obstruct¡¡± After speaking, he suddenly extended his hand and made a ¡°please¡± gesture to Lu Rang, saying: ¡°Please!¡± Please! Afterward, the illusory shadow disappeared at once! All those present were shocked. ¡°I understand now, no opponent dares to y the ninth game¡¡± ¡°Was that illusory shadow also an Immortal?!¡± ¡°To make an Immortal yield¡ just how fearsome is Lu Rang?¡± Everyone fell silent. ¡°It¡¯s not that Lu Rang is fearsome¡ it¡¯s the person behind him that¡¯s terrifying. He must have a Transmission Crystal hidden in his sleeve; didn¡¯t you see that the Immortal Illusory Shadow was bowing toward his sleeve?!¡± At that moment, Ji Yuanqing spoke up, his eyes also brimming with shock. He murmured to himself: ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, that illusory shadow should be none other than Immortal Monarch Yu Shuang from the annals, one of the disciples under the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± ¡°Even an Immortal Monarch shows such respect to the being behind Lu Rang¡¡± His mind suddenly turned to¡ Xuan Tianzhou! The edict from Xuan Tianzhou¡ Could it be that behind Lu Rang stands that person?! His heart began to race, this seemed like a reasonable answer¡ At this point, everyone in the arena also came to a sudden realization and woke up to the truth! ¡°That¡¯s it¡ I understand now, behind Lu Rang stands an unmatched existence!¡± ¡°I knew it, how could a mere youth like Lu Rang have the ability to guide an Immortal¡¡± ¡°It¡¯s also terrifying, to be respected by an Immortal, Lu Rang¡¯s backing must be incredibly vast¡¡± All those present eximed in awe. At this time, Lu Rang himself was also somewhat bewildered. The ninth game hadn¡¯t even started. Moreover, since everyone could see that, he didn¡¯t bother to conceal it any longer, took out the crystal, and bowed to the crystal, saying: ¡°The opponent has conceded, thank you Master!¡± Seeing this scene, everyone¡¯s minds were aplex mix, indeed, indeed! It was really so! On the other side of the crystal. In a small courtyard, Li Fan saw Lu Rang¡¯s bow and nodded, saying: ¡°If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s leave it at that, remember, to be merciful when possible.¡± After speaking, he handed the Transmission Crystal to Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others. Yuanyang Holy Lord took the crystal, trembling slightly as he asked Lu Rang: ¡°Young Master Lu, was that tremor that shook the entire Heavenly Realm- transmitted from your side?¡± That immortal aura, that pressure which made all heavens tremble¡ Lu Rang then said: ¡°Yes, my Master casually offered guidance, helping an existence be Immortal¡ enough said, I¡¯m upied here!¡± With that, Lu Rang¡¯s side went silent. But his words left Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others utterly astounded. Dugu Chenlu, Saint Teacher Kongming, and others hadplex expressions; if not for Li Fan¡¯s repeated emphasis that they must not bow before him, they would be inclined to worship Li Fan! ¡°This is too defying the heavens¡ Li Fan casually gave guidance here and achieved an Immortal¡ that¡¯s a being of legends, only possibly appearing in the Immortal Domain and the Four Great Heavenly Realms¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming murmured to himself. ¡°Inconceivable, just how fearsome is Li Fan¡¡± Dugu Chenlu was also visibly shaken. Chapter 139 - 127 Wake Up_2 Chapter 139: Chapter 127 Wake Up_2 Behind Li Fan, Gong Ya Demon Marshal, was trembling in her delicate body! Just now, when that pressure of a Path of Immortal Certification spread throughout the heavens, she felt it. She¡ was also at the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal, and although she had not yet touched the edge of immortality, she deeply understood what kind of path it was¡ How difficult it was! Each step within it was a chasm, and any could lead to one¡¯s downfall. But, this Senior Li had casually given guidance and bestowed immortality on someone. What a fortuitous fate¡ She took a deep breath, her ample chest rising and falling with it, stepping forward while speaking with a trembling voice, ¡°Master, master, I¡¯ll pour you some tea¡¡± Before, she had addressed Li Fan as senior. Now, she was directly calling him¡ master! Li Fan did not notice anything different, and smiled indifferently, saying, ¡°Good, your tea-making skills have improvedtely.¡± But Xinning blinked herrge eyes, wondering¡ what was wrong with Gong Ya¡ ¡°Gong Ya, snap out of it¡¡± She couldn¡¯t help but send a psychic message. ¡°Demon Monarch¡ I, I think I¡¯m very clear-headed¡¡± Gong Ya responded. Xinning felt a surge ofplex emotions stirring inside her. In Huangtian State. After Lu Rang finished speaking, he put away the Crystal. Turning back, he looked at everyone still in shock, and with a grin, said, ¡°All barriers have been broken¡ Junior Brother Yu Qing, you cane over now.¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke immediately to Qing Lan and Xia Yao, Let s go over. Hearing this, Qing Lan and Xia Yao were both ttered and shocked, saying, ¡°We, we can go over as well??!¡± They knew that whaty before them¡ was an iparable opportunity! It concerned immortality, and perhaps even higher levels! If they could obtain it, it might lead to boundless achievements, even shaking the Immortal Domain. Who would want to share such an opportunity with others? But now, Dugu Yuqing was inviting them to join. ¡°We came together, naturally we will enter together. Dugu Yuqing said with a smile. Qing Lan took a deep breath and said, ¡°In that case, thank you Young Master Lu and Young Master Dugu! ¡°Yaoyao, let¡¯s follow the two young masters inside!¡± She was not being coy. After all, the opportunity was too significant. Xia Yao nodded like a pecking chicken. The three of them then stepped forward, and soon approached where Lu Rang was standing. ¡°Young Master Lu¡ may we follow behind you? We are willing to heed yourmand!¡± A young man spoke eagerly! ¡°Young Master Lu, I am willing to be in your harem!¡± A coquettish Saintess threw amorous nces at Lu Rang! ¡°Young Master Lu, please take me in; I am willing to be your retainer!¡± A Saint Heir even begged earnestly! At that moment, everyone in the ce began to speak up! They werepletely frantic! You must understand that the Barrier was not gone, but a path had been opened by the one who broke the barrier. If others touched it without the breaker¡¯s permission, they would die, and getting too close meant destruction. Therefore, Lu Rang had now be the only hope for everyone! At this moment, the leaders of the various alliances suddenly also appeared in the midst of the assembly. Leaders like Ning Tianhao from the Earth Wind Alliance, Yue Poshan from the Earth Spirit Alliance, Wu Mingshen from the Earth Affinity Alliance, and others had all arrived! They had already learned of everything that had just transpired, and their gazes were filled with solemnity now. ¡°Young Master Lu, just give us the nod, and from today onwards, the Duanmu Family will be your subordinate!¡± Duanmu Sen, the head of the Duanmu Family, spoke with heavy gravity, saying: ¡°With just one word from you, I can cripple this unfilial son, Duanmu Yang!¡± Upon hearing these words, Duanmu Yang immediately copsed to the ground, his face turning ashen! He understood that now, in order to get closer to Lu Rang, his father would absolutely not go easy on him! At this moment, he was filled with extreme regret! Why, why did he have to offend Lu Rang¡ Meanwhile, Ning Tianhao from the Earth Wind Alliance was even more direct as he grabbed his own grandson, Ning Zhaoran, and on the spot, stripped him of all his cultivation! ¡°All-¡± Ning Zhaoran let out a shrill scream, from now on, he waspletely crippled. ¡°This child has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, offending Young Master Lu. Ning would like to apologize to the Young Master¡ I wonder, Young Master, if you could allow our Earth Wind Alliance to follow you inside?¡± Ning Tianhao lowered himself in posture! ¡°I have a granddaughter, though her talents are modest, I hope to offer her to Young Master Lu to serve as a maid¡¡± Wu Mingshen also spoke up, intending to offer a female! ¡°Cough cough¡ Young Master Lu, I, Yue Poshan, may not have a granddaughter, but, but my son recently married a peerless beauty, and her chastity is yet unbroken. Just give the nod, and I will send her to your residence¡¡± Yue Poshan spoke somewhat awkwardly, adding, ¡°Of course, topensate Young Master Lu, all the resources of the Yue Family¡ will henceforth belong to Young Master Lu.¡± Many prominent figures stated their positions one after another! Towards Lu Rang, they were doing their utmost to ingratiate themselves! Their disy of submission was simply to get closer to Lu Rang, at any cost! Even if it meant offering their own children, or going bankrupt! Because they had alle to understand that Lu Rang right now represented a supreme future. Just moments ago, even an immortal-level being, the high and mighty figure behind Lu Rang, created one with a mere flick of a hand- immortal¡ that¡¯s a being from the realms of myths and legends¡ Even the leaders of the various alliances had only heard of such beings! In their eyes, a Taiyi Golden Immortal was akin to heaven. But for an immortal¡ Taiyi Golden Immortal? Not even worth a roadside ant¡ Therefore, as long as they could cling to Lu Rang¡¯s coattails and gain favor from the exalted one behind him, they would be making a fortune! Even if it meant investing all their resources now, it didn¡¯t matter! Let alone offering a Saintess or something of that nature, if he demanded all of their family¡¯s assets, they wouldply! Because the prospects were too great. In the face of such prospects, everything they currently possessed was insignificant! Seeing the many Alliance Hierarchs react in such a manner, the various Holy Sons and Daughters, young elites, and others present were all dumbfounded¡ Too terrifying¡ Lu Rang had actually brought the various alliances to this level of importance? When Lu Rang heard this, he disdainfully said: ¡°Now you fall in line? When I was recruiting people to raise pigs in the vige earlier, no one paid me any mind¡¡± No sooner had his words fallen when a group of Holy Sons and Daughters hastily spoke up: ¡°Young Master Lu, my favorite activity is raising pigs. Rest assured, I will ensure the pigs in our vige are fat and healthy! A graceful Saintess blurted out hurriedly, no longer caring for modesty. ¡°I am born in the year of the pig, I love pigs the most!1 A Saint Heir mored to be first! ¡°Not only can I raise pigs, but I¡¯m also skilled in water-based cultivation techniques and can always keep the pigsty clean¡ Young Master Lu, I¡¯m a professional!¡± A beautiful woman went even further, determinedly demonstrating her water-based cultivation technique right then and there! Thepetition was fierce! And at that moment, a Saint Heir gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and roared: ¡°Damn it, no one elsepete with me, my ancestral bloodline contains that of wild boars, I¡¯ve cultivated with special pig manure, my affection for pigs is deep! Young Master Lu, choose me, choose me!¡± As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, staring at him in disbelief. Chapter 140 - 128: Counting Money Until My Hand Cramps Part 1 Chapter 140: Chapter 128: Counting Money Until My Hand Cramps Part 1 The crowd at the scene was falling over themselves, even disclosing things like having a wild boar bloodline in their ancestry. All for the sake of securing a spot to enter with Lu! They were almosting to blows. It¡¯s well known that within the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, there must be Immortal-level opportunities buried. For such opportunities, it¡¯s not just about raising pigs; even if they were asked to turn into pigs, they would be willing! Upon hearing this, Lu Rang also thought to himself, damn! He had mentioned it casually and hadn¡¯t anticipated that these people would go insane¡ Too enthusiastic, right?! ¡°Enough, enough, stop arguing!¡± At this time, Lu Rang said, ¡°Quiet down, I¡¯m almost deafened by your noise!¡± Once Lu Rang spoke up, everyone immediately stopped, not daring to utter another word for fear of angering Lu Rang. ¡°Cough cough, I, Lu, am not a petty person. So, those who want to enter, each person must pay a hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones!¡± Lu Rang boldly dered! Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. ¡°A hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones per person? That¡¯s too expensive, isn¡¯t it?!¡± ¡°With a hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, one could cultivate a True Immortal!¡± ¡°Who can afford that?¡± Everyone¡¯s face turned sour. But the leaders of the major alliances stepped forward immediately. ¡°The Earth Element Alliance brought a total of four hundred youths¡ Our Earth Element Alliance is willing to pay forty million Immortal Spirit Stones to buy spots forthem!¡± Wu Mingshen waved his hand grandly, and a ring appeared, saying: ¡°In this ring, there are forty million Immortal Spirit Stones, please ept it!¡± ¡°Our Earth Wind Alliance is also willing; this is fifty million Immortal Spirit Stones!¡± Ning Haotian also spoke up! ¡°This is sixty million Immortal Spirit Stones!¡± Yue Poshan didn¡¯t hesitate either! Even though tens of millions of Immortal Spirit Stones were a huge amount for the entire alliance, pared to the Immortal opportunities that might be involved here, what was that worth? Even if it meant going bankrupt, it would be worth it! Upon seeing this, Lu Rang¡¯s face split into a huge smile! He struck it rich! Altogether, this made a total of one hundred and fifty million Immortal Spirit Stones! Although they didn¡¯t have much use for Immortal Spirit Stones in their daily cultivation in the small courtyard, they could still gift them to the Xuantian Alliance! ¡°Big brother, are you really going to let them follow us inside?¡± At this time, Dugu Yuqing spoke up, frowning. Having too many people involved in the opportunity wasn¡¯t good. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that Immortal Illusory Shadow just gave me a message earlier. Beyond the barrier, there¡¯s a formidable checkpoint, and the more people who go in, the less pressure we¡¯ll haveter¡¡± Lu Rangmunicated through a transmission. Hearing this, Dugu Yuqing instantly understood. Her big brother¡ was quite ruthless! At that moment, members of the alliances who had paid the Spirit Stones all stepped forward one after another. They followed behind Lu Rang and the others. ¡°This is one million Immortal Spirit Stones, I only ask to meet the senior who broke the nine chess formations!¡± At this time, a graceful figure shrouded in a gauzy veil approached, it was none other than Mu Chenxi of the Xuanzhen Sect. Her beautiful eyes were full of rippling blue, and she was captivatingly charming; currently, her eyes were filled with anticipation. Hearing this, Lu Rang smiled and said: ¡°I¡¯ll charge you a hundred thousand, but meeting my master, that depends on fate¡¡± Hearing this, Mu Chenxi¡¯s eyes shed with deep disappointment. At that moment, the Little Chess Saint Lu Xing also approached; his hair waspletely white, resembling an extremely aged elder. He said: ¡°I don¡¯t covet the opportunities here, but I seek to take that senior as my master¡ Please, Young Master Lu, grant my wish!¡± After speaking, he knelt down and refused to get up. Lu Rang felt moved, yet he stepped aside and said, ¡°That depends on fate.¡± Whening here, his Master had asked him to find a few disciples with ¡± special hobbies,¡± and this Lu Xing actually fit the bill. However, with so many people here now, he couldn¡¯t rashly agree; it was better to leave it be for now. ¡°Young Master Lu¡ Young Master Lu, I, I don¡¯t have a hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, but I can give you a Supreme Cultivation Technique!¡± At this time, even Xiao Yan ran over, his face full of ttery! Just now, the voice of the First Immortal General Yang Miechen had echoed inside him again, telling him he must follow this Lu Rang by any means necessary! At all costs! So, he ¡°endured the humiliation,¡± mentally prepared himself, and spoke to Lu Rang humbly to seek a spot. Lu Rang looked at him but sneered and said, ¡°What did you say just now? Even if I followed you, even a dog could have a limitless future?¡± ¡°That by opposing you, my future wouldn¡¯t even match that of a dog by your side?¡± Lu Rang remembered Xiao Yan¡¯s earlier arrogance quite clearly! Hearing this, Xiao Yan¡¯s face turned extremely ugly as he knelt down and said, ¡°I was wrong; I am the dog¡ Young Master Lu, please let me go in. I¡¯m willing to give you not one, but three, three Supreme scripts!¡± He was determined to gain entry, no matter what it took! ¡°The protagonist sometimes has to bear the insults that others cannot endure¡¡± He reminded himself internally. ¡°Supreme scriptures? Do you see mecking such trinkets?¡± Lu Rang was dismissive. That White Jade Skeleton just now already possessed an Immortal aura, yet when it tried to pass on the scriptures to him, they were directly erased by something inside of him! Upon reflection, he understood that what he learned from his master was already of the Supreme Dao;pared to it, even the Immortal seemed insignificant! Even if Xiao Yan had some opportunities, what of it? Xiao Yan, growing desperate, urgently sent a telepathic message: ¡°Young Master Lu Rang, rest assured, the value of these three scriptures is definitely no less than one hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones. Moreover, I¡¯m quite familiar with the situation inside where endless wronged souls reside¡¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was indeed intrigued. Could this youngster truly know what¡¯s inside? ¡°Fine, I, Lu Rang, am magnanimous. Follow me.¡± He decided to let the other party follow him in. At once, Xiao Yan gave profuse thanks! But inside, he was seething with hatred. ¡°I, Xiao Yan, am the real protagonist, just you wait¡ once I obtain the opportunity, you are doomed!¡± Murderous intent swirled in his thoughts. ¡°This is one hundred thousand Immortal Spirit Stones, I too wish to enter.¡± At this moment, among the many older generation figures, Yin Yuanchen from the Dark Moon Sect suddenly spoke up. ¡°You?¡± ¡°For the elder generation, it¡¯s not as simple as one hundred thousand¡ it¡¯s one million per person!¡± Lu Rang dered outright! One million per person¡ this amount was astronomical. Yet Yin Yuanchen did not hesitate, tossing a ring to Lu Rang, saying: ¡°Five million Immortal Spirit Stones, no need for change.¡± Lu Rang grinned broadly, ¡°Generous!¡± He then turned to Yue Poshan and others, saying: ¡°What about you, Alliance Hierarchs? Not going to take a look inside? You might ascend on the spot after entering!¡± Dugu Yuqing, watching Lu Rang¡¯s behavior, was truly sweating bullets. This senior brother, too, too much of a scammer. Yet, seeing Yin Yuanchen joining the group safely, Yue Poshan and the others were instantly shocked! ¡°So, as long as someone breaks through the nine chessboards, even the older generation can go in together!¡± They suddenly realized. ¡°This is five million Immortal Spirit Stones!¡± Yue Poshan stepped forward and immediately caught up! Since Yin Yuanchen gave five million, and being an Alliance Hierarch, he naturally couldn¡¯t be outdone! Wu Mingshen, Ning Tianhao, and others stepped forward one after another. And some of the old Heavenly Immortals from the great ns also followed, but due to financial constraints, most of them gave just one million. With such a group of older generation figures, Lu Rang gathered over ny million more Immortal Spirit Stones! Now, he had more than two hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones in hand. He was so rich it was almost obscene! Counting money until his hands cramped¡ Moreover, thanks to his actions, almost everyone present could now enter. ¡°Very well, everyone, follow me to seek out opportunities¡ª¡± Lu Rang said with a smile, then took a step into the barrier! Countless people hurried to follow behind him! Crossing the barrier, they were greeted by howling cold winds! It was as if they had entered another world. Here, the atmosphere was dreary, devoid of sunlight, and what appeared before them was an ancient battlefield! Blood-stained gs, broken yet still fluttering, told tales of battles past! The skeletons of dead horses, undecayed and towering, spoke of their extraordinary bloodlines. Shattered halberds, emitting faint but terrifying auras. The battlefield stretched on, with dense malevolent energy and cold winds like ck fog, obscuring the sight and making it impossible to grasp its true expanse. Soon enough, everyone followed in. ¡°This is¡ an ancient battlefield!¡± ¡°Goodness, every single broken weapon still contains terrifying Immortal Path auras, everyone involved in that battle was a fearsome Immortal¡¡± ¡°Is this the legendary war between the First Heavenly Realm and the Immortal Realm? The legends are true, the Huangtian Realm was indeed part of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± Everyone was greatly astounded! ¡°Kill¡ª¡± ¡°Kill¡ª¡± ¡°Kill¡ª¡± Just at that moment, from the depths of the malevolent fog-like energy, terrifying war cries suddenly erupted, as if a boundless and dreadful army was charging towards them! ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°¡Could it be, could it be Yin Soldiers?¡± Instantly, everyone was horrified! Chapter 141 - 129 Feather Brush Destroys Yin Soldiersi Chapter 141: Chapter 129 Feather Brush Destroys Yin Soldiersi Just past the barrier, what appeared before them was a terrifying ancient battlefield! Moreover, in front of them, the horrific sounds of battle cries burst forth in an instant! ¡°What on earth is this?¡± ¡°I feel terrified, as if my soul is about to split open¡¡± ¡°This is too horrifying¡¡± All were filled with shock and uncertainty. And quickly, within that ck fog, a terrifying scene unfolded before their eyes. It was a fearsome army, the dead soldiers riding spectral warhorses, holding in their hands broken halberds and long spears, charging forth. Many of them were already skeletons, filled with the stench of rot and death. But now, they were still in the fray! ¡°¡These are the soldiers from the First Heavenly Realm who perished in battle years ago, their wills too strong, thus undying even in death¡ They guard this area, so their lingering will drives them to y all the living, run quickly!¡± At this moment, Ji Yuanqing suddenly shouted loudly! Hearing this, everyone was stunned. y all the living?! These ancient Yin Soldiers, who were incredibly powerful in life, were still terrifying even in death! They were simply beyond the capacity of the people from the various alliances to withstand! ¡°We must go back, hurry, hurry back¡¡± ¡°Damn it, if only I knew it was this terrifying, I would never havee in!¡± ¡°Run for your lives¡¡± In an instant, countless people were fleeing back, trying to get out! But at this moment, the barrier had alreadypletely closed! ¡°Don¡¯t think about running away, now the only way to open the barrier and survive is to take something from here!¡± Ji Yuanqing shouted, ¡°Run towards the center; the item is in the White Bone Divine Temple in the very center!¡± Hearing this, the thousands of people at the scene dispersed like birds and beasts! ¡°Spreading out to run increases our chance of survival!¡± ¡°Run quickly!¡± The Alliance Hierarchs scolded as they transformed into streaks of light, scattering in different directions, then rushing toward the center as Ji Yuanqing had indicated! As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold; although the presence of these Yin Soldiers posed a lethal risk to everyone, they also understood where the great opportunity trulyy! ¡°Let¡¯s go, we need to escape quickly!¡± Lu Rang¡¯s scalp was tingling, and he hurried to flee along with Dugu Yuqing and Qing Lan. In an instant, there were hardly any people left at the scene. Only one remained! It was¡ Yin Yuanchen from the Dark Moon Sect! The Yin Soldiers surged towards him! At that moment, a Blood Shadow suddenly stepped out from within Yin Yuanchen¡¯s body, while Yin Yuanchen himself fell rigidly to the ground! The Yin Soldiers charged forward only to find empty air. The Blood Shadow walked past countless Yin Soldiers unobstructed, its lips seemingly curled in a cold smile! ¡°Which way should we go, Elder Yang?¡± Xiao Yan shouted, his face filled with terror, as Yin Soldiers chased after him! ¡°Go left, if I remember correctly, that¡¯s where the Immortal Dao Pce¡¯s corridor is, a ce the Yin Soldiers dare not tread¡¡± Yang Miechen also summoned his spirits, directing Xiao Yan forward. Sure enough, it wasn¡¯t long before he spotted a dpidated corridor, stained with aged and yellowed blood, but upon reaching this ce, the pursuing Yin Soldiers indeed stopped far behind! ¡°Elder Yang is truly wise!¡± Xiao Yan rejoiced, a sinister smile suddenly spreading across his face, ¡°Now, I can safely reach it¡ I¡¯ll be the first one there, the opportunity belongs to me!¡± He strode forward! ¡°The Yin Soldiers are upon us!¡± Lu Rang¡¯s expression changed dramatically, ¡°Junior Brother Dugu!¡± He quickly retreated. Fighting was not Lu Rang¡¯s forte! Although he had grass on his person that could y immortals, it was useless against these will-driven Yin Soldiers! Even if he killed the Yin Soldiers again, they would reappear, for they were long dead, what drove them in battle was endless fighting spirit, the oaths they had once sworn! Approaching them was a soldier d in tattered battle armor, with only half of a long spear left in his hand! Dugu Yuqing immediately went forward, and what appeared in his hand was a pen! ¡ªThis pen, was the gifted ¡°Feather Brush¡± from Li Fan! Without any hesitation, he brandished the ¡°Feather Brush¡± in his hand! In an instant, a terrifying me erupted forth! The iing Yin Soldiers were directly engulfed by the mes, burning them into nothingness! The crisis was averted! ¡°Holy shit, the ¡®Feather Brush¡¯ from my master is this powerful?!¡± Lu Rang eximed in shock. Xia Yao and Qing Lan were downright stunned. ¡°Master Lu Rang¡ you said, what is this? A Feather¡ Feather Brush?!¡± Qing Lan asked somewhat dazedly. ¡°Yeah, when we were leaving, our master plucked some chicken feathers to make this pen for Junior Brother Dugu¡ I didn¡¯t expect it to be so powerful¡¡± Lu Rang exined. Hearing this, both women hadplex expressions on their faces. Is this real or fake? He plucked some chicken feathers, made a pen, and with a casual wave, he could burn the ancient Yin Soldiers intoplete oblivion? What kind of chicken feathers were these? ¡°The Feather Brush bestowed by master truly possesses extraordinary divine might!¡± Even Dugu Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but speak highly of it and held the Feather Brush dearly in his hand! Such a handy treasure given by master was just incredible! Hearing this, Xia Yao and Qing Lan exchanged nces, seeing the shock in each other¡¯s eyes. Lu Rang might be carefree, but Dugu Yuqing is not the kind to spout nonsense¡ This meant that the pen was really made by their teacher from a bunch of chicken feathers?? ¡°Um¡ Lu Rang, are they for real about hiring in the vige to rear pigs?¡± At that moment, Xia Yao suddenly swallowed hard and said: ¡°I think¡ actually I kind of like pigs, after all, pigs are so cute¡¡± Lu Rang, upon hearing this, was also somewhat bbergasted as he looked at Xia Yao. Even Qing Lan coughed and said, ¡°Qing Lan would like to ask if the vige¡ needs someone to raise chickens? I¡¯m skilled in wind spells, so cleaning the chicken coop and such¡ should be manageable¡¡± Lu Rang was even more astonished¡ ¡°Alright, let¡¯s move on quickly, with this pen in hand, we can simply break through all the way!¡± Dugu Yuqing was brimming with confidence at this moment! He had barely used any Spiritual Power when extinguishing that Yin Soldier earlier! Subsequently, they advanced swiftly, traveling at a very fast pace! With the Feather Brush in Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hand, he was invincible against gods and Buddhas alike, eliminating three waves of Yin Soldiers, one of which was even a team of nine! Of course, a very important reason for their smooth journey was that there were so many people entering, well up in the thousands! This greatly divided the Yin Soldiers¡¯ forces, otherwise, even with the Feather Brush, they would have had a very tough time! Yin Soldiers roared, hunting those who entered thisnd! One after another, youths were bleeding out¡ One after another, Saintesses perished¡ Even some Elder Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals had been annihted, the stronger they were, the more terrifying Yin Soldiers they attracted, and if they encountered amander-level Yin Soldier, almost nobody could survive¡ And at this moment, at the very center of this ancient battlefield! This ce bore not a trace of evil aura or Yin Qi! It was a picture of tranquility. Silence reigned, with only stillness surrounding them. The entire world was so quiet, quiet as death. A pce constructed of white bones stood silently as if it had traversed countless years, quietly erect in this spot. Each bone used to build the pce was white as jade, radiating with an Immortal aura! This was a pce built from the skeleton of an Immortal! In this area, a Blood Shadow slowly emerged, step by step approaching the pce! Chapter 142 - 130 Immortal Dao Palace_1 Chapter 142: Chapter 130 Immortal Dao Pce_1 Blood Shadow took steps toward the Pce of White Bones. Under its feet, a trail of blood-red footprints emerged. Facing this pce, Blood Shadow felt an unprecedented oppression! ¡°Several hundred generations of Immortals from the First Heavenly Realm used their own bones to create the Immortal Dao Pce¡ ¡°Here, the true Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm was forged, yet it also drew the endless fury of the Immortal Domain¡ The tragedy of the First Heavenly Realm began because of you¡¡± ¡°Wan Ling was extinguished, the Heavenly Realm shattered¡ As Blood Shadow drew closer, its blood-red skull split open to reveal two blood-colored eyes. ¡°Generations of Immortals, with their own bones, explored the way of the immortal King¡ Finally, the First Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm was forged, and he was also the very first Immortal King among a Million Lower Realms¡¡± ¡°The first immortal King, tomemorate the achievements and valor of past immortals, forwent a revered title, calling himself ¡®The Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm¡¯ instead. Furthermore, he ced a segment of his bone here at the time he achieved Dao¡ That bone contains all the ways of the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± Within the words of Blood Shadow, there was both ardor and madness, but it did not notice that, as it approached the bone pce ever closer, more blood flowed from its body! Finally, it reached the steps. The steps were also made from white bones! With each step taken, one could feel the Dao of the original owners of these bones! Its body trembled, as if it were about to split apart, but still, it set foot upon the staircase with difficulty! ¡°Ah ¡± However, at that very moment, it let out a sharp and miserable scream. It retreated rapidly! ¡°Why won¡¯tyou acknowledge me??!¡± ¡°I was born from the blood of countless beings from the First Heavenly Realm, they are me, and I am them¡ Have you Immortals forgotten your promise to every being of the First Heavenly Realm?!¡± ¡°You once said you would use your own bones to bring evesting peace to the First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°You once said you were willing to spill every drop of your blood to pierce the darkness and seize that ray of sunlight!¡± ¡°You once said the Lower World shouldn¡¯t be ves, and for the sake of the Million Lower Realms, you were willing to forsake the glory of the Immortal Domain!¡± ¡± So why, why won¡¯t you ept me¡ I am also from the First Heavenly Realm! ¡± It roared! But, the Immortal Dao Pce remained silent, without response! ¡°If you do not recognize me¡ I want to see who you will acknowledge!¡± The voice of Blood Shadow was filled with deep resentment, and after speaking, it suddenly vanished on the spot. Not long after. ¡°We¡¯ve finally arrived!¡± Lu Rang and others finally arrived at this area! They saw the Immortal Bone Pce ahead of them! ¡°My god, what pce is that?¡± Qjng Lan spoke in shock, ¡°How do I feel¡ it¡¯s filled with an immense immortal aura?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying. Just one nce made me feel like I¡¯ve seen countless terrifying existences¡¡± Xia Yao¡¯s beautiful eyes trembled lightly. Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were also taken aback. ¡°This ce is extraordinary¡¡± Lu Rang said, ¡°It gives me chills¡¡± Dugu Yuqing, however, had a serious look in her eyes as she said, ¡°This¡ must be the pce that Ji Yuanqing talked about, which contains a great opportunity¡¡± ¡°Moreover, I feel a sense of sword intent¡ Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go up and take a look!¡± The four of them then moved forward! Step by step, they ascended the steps of the Immortal Bone Pce. After several steps, ¡°No¡¡± Qing Lan suddenly froze, her beautiful eyes greatly shocked. As she stepped on the stairs, she felt an aura simr to her own! It was as if an Immortal from a time immemorial was showing her a supreme technique¡ It was an endless storm, an Immortal hymn of the wind¡ She stopped, murmuring, ¡°This step, this is my opportunity!¡± Xia Yao looked at her senior sister in astonishment, understanding that her senior sister wasprehending the Dao, receiving some mysterious inheritance. The others did not disturb her and continued forward. Not long after, Xia Yao also had a realization! She, too, encountered a Dao that she could learn. She stopped. ¡°Howe the two of us haven¡¯t felt anything yet? Lu Rang asked in confusion. ¡°No, I have felt it,¡± Dugu Yuqing shook her head and said, ¡°I sessively felt the stairs of three Immortals who entered Immortality through the Sword Dao, but¡ they only nced at me and did not impart their teaching¡ Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was dumbfounded. What was going on? Dugu Yuqing exined, ¡°It might be because¡ I¡¯ve learned the Sword Dao from my master¡¡± Lu Rang then suddenly understood. ¡°That¡¯s right, to the Immortals, master is probably like heaven¡ The Sword Dao he passed down is probably far above Immortality. Those Immortals wouldn¡¯t dare to teach you their Sword Dao¡ So¡¡± ¡°After all, just now master casually yed one game of chess, which allowed a Golden Immortal who had died years ago to achieve Dao with his will, transforming into a true Immortal Monarch- Listening to Lu Rang¡¯s words, Dugu Yuqing nodded her head as well. Now, she understood even more how frightening her master was. Absolutely above Immortality! And what realm was above Immortality? He didn¡¯t even dare to think about it! ¡°But you are connected to three stone steps already? Why don¡¯t I have any sensation!¡± Lu Rang felt extremely frustrated. ¡°Uh¡ Senior Brother, the path of your cultivation might be a bit peculiar¡ Maybe, nobody else has taken the path of growing vegetables like you?¡± Dugu Yuqing replied. Lu Rang: While they continued making their way towards the Immortal Dao Pce, outside, more people were arriving one after another! ¡°Haha, I, Xiao Yan, have finally arrived. I am the first one toe, and I will obtain the supreme fortune!¡± Xiao Yanughed heartily. Guided by the directions from Yang Miechen, he managed to bypass the Yin Soldiers and arrived safely. ¡°Boy, this ce is the Immortal Dao Pce of the First Heavenly Realm. See those steps? Each one is built from the bones of an Immortal, containing their great Dao. It¡¯s not just about entering it, even walking the stone steps once can bring you an Immortal opportunity¡¡± The First Immortal General Yang Miechen inside him was extremely excited. Yang Miechen was from the Immortal Domain and had participated in that battle. Although his soul hadn¡¯t perished, he had never been qualified to approach this Dao Pce back then! He had only glimpsed it from afar! ¡°I¡¯ll go right away!¡± Xiao Yan took a deep breath and headed towards the Immortal Dao Pce. However, as he approached, he was shocked. ¡°There are¡ people ahead?!¡± He saw four people on the steps! ¡°Is it really them? No, it can¡¯t be!¡± Xiao Yan was astonished. ¡°How could they be faster than me? This is impossible!¡± He couldn¡¯t believe it, considering he had a golden finger and his very own elder grandfather with him! And moreover, the First Immortal General Yang Miechen, who was a being from the Immortal Domain, was so familiar with this ce¡ They still couldn¡¯t match Lu Rang and the others? Those people were really Xiemeng, weren¡¯t they?! At this moment, he seriously doubted whether he was indeed following the protagonist¡¯s script! The First Immortal General Yang Miechen inside him fell silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Behind them, there are formidable figures¡ It¡¯s not strange. Kid, perhaps you won¡¯t be able to get the opportunity here!¡± Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was filled with reluctance. ¡°No! I am the hero of this world!¡± He said fiercely, and quickly approached, stepping onto the stairs of the Immortal Dao Pce. After Xiao Yan, more people appeared in session. Mu Chenxi from the Xuanzhen Sect had arrived. The Saint Heir of the Earth Element Alliance, Bai Yuan from Earth Wind Alliance, also appeared on the scene. Alliance Leader Yue Poshan from Earth Spirit State, bloodied, led seven or eight young people from the Earth Spirit Alliance. Ji Yuanqing¡¯s face was pale, and the jade pendant in his hand was broken. It was with the help of the jade pendant that he had made it here. ¡ Gradually, about three to four hundred people managed to escape here! The price was extremely steep, considering that six to seven thousand people had entered! Only three to four hundred were left, and they were in a sorry state; even those who survived were barely clinging to life! Some powerful Golden Immortals, like Ning Tianhao, the Alliance Hierarch of the Earth Wind Alliance, hadn¡¯t made it. Perhaps they had died on the way. ¡°Is this the ce where fortune lies?¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying, this Pce of White Bones¡ It gives me an indescribably horrible feeling¡¡± ¡°It¡¯s filled with an Immortal aura¡¡± Upon seeing the majestic and ancient Pce of White Bones, people spoke up solemnly! Ji Yuanqing looked at the Immortal Dao Pce before him, his expression extremely grave. He muttered, ¡°This is the pce that my ancestor repeatedly mentioned¡¡± ¡°This is the ce which my ancestor guarded in Huangtian State and has been searching for¡¡± He too took a deep breath and immediately shouted, ¡°This is the Immortal Dao Pce!¡± ¡°Everyone, reaching here is your opportunity, go ahead-¡± ¡°On every step of the stairs, you will receive an Immortal legacy!¡± ¡°This is the hope for the revival of the First Heavenly Realm¡ As long as this Dao Pce stands, so shall the First Heavenly Realm remain!¡± He shouted aloud! instantly, everyone on the scene was excitedly rushing towards the Immortal Dao Pce! But Ji Yuanqing stood still, not moving. Tears filled his eyes. ¡°Generations of ancestors, you may now rest in peace. The Immortal Dao Pce has been found, and the descendants are about to receive its legacy¡ The legacy of the First Heavenly Realm will not be broken¡¡± He murmured! -A secret he had never shared with the outside world was that he, Ji Yuanqing, was descended from the First Heavenly Realm! Once, they had guarded this realm¡ And his lineage, which had not participated in the war years ago, had been hiding all this time! Their destiny, to survive, was to pass on the clues to the Immortal Dao Pce! In the battle thousands of years ago, from the start¡ the First Heavenly Realm knew they were destined to lose! With the power of a single heavenly realm against the Immortal Domain¡ It was an impossible feat. Even if the Immortal King had been born in the First Heavenly Realm, it was not enough! ¡°The ¡®Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm¡¯ once said that when the immortal Dao Pce reappears, the future for which countless Immortals of the First Heavenly Realm had fought, shedding their heads and blood, will also truly emerge. In this life, what kind of changes will ur?¡± Ji Yuanqing murmured, his gaze gradually falling on Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing at the front of the stairs! Was it these two? Was it the terrifying existence behind them? His heart surged with emotion! Chapter 143 - 131: Slaying Through the Immortal Domain, Cutting Down All Immortal Kings!_1 Chapter 143: Chapter 131: ying Through the Immortal Domain, Cutting Down All Immortal Kings!_1 Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing finally set foot, step by step, upon the great hall above. In the process, Dugu Yuqing sensed two more steps. Clearly, in the First Heavenly Realm, there were not a few who entered Immortality through the Sword Dao and became Immortal Monarchs! But Lu Rang continued to be dejected, for he had finished ascending all the stairs without once encountering a step that resonated with him¡ ¡°Could it be that no one in the countless years of the First Heavenly Realm¡¯s history has ever achieved Immortality through the Cultivation and Rearing Path?¡± Lu Rang felt a wave of loneliness. Fortunately, he had met his Master, who even with hobbies as unique as growing vegetables, could lead him on the Supreme path- stepping into the Hall of White Bones, they saw an ancient long sword deeply embedded in a stone table ahead! The long sword had broken into two pieces, with the tip fallen to the ground, covered in dust. Besides the stone table and next to the long sword, there was ayer of bone dust! Seeing this, both Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were perplexed. What was this situation? A Broken Sword and ayer of bone dust? As they contemted this, Ji Yuanqing had already caught up from behind, saying urgently, ¡°Is that piece of bone still there?¡± His voice was filled with tension. However, when he came forward and saw the items on the stone table¡ Ji Yuanqing instantly froze, his face ashen as if struck by lightning. ¡°How¡ how is this possible¡¡± He looked as though he had been struck by lightning, his pupils dted and hisplexion turned deathly pale! ¡°How could there be a Broken Sword here¡ How could that piece of bone have turned to dust?¡± His voice was filled with immense sorrow and unwillingness! ¡°Why!¡± He suddenly knelt on the ground, bellowing in grief! ording to the ancestral records, the Immortal Dao Pce stored a piece of bone from the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm, left by that Immortal King tomemorate the sacrifices and dedications of countless Immortals, and it even contained his Dao¡ But now, that piece of bone had turned to dust¡ And an unknown sword was embedded in the stone table. Could it be that the battle of yesteryears finally led to the destruction of the Immortal Dao Pce by the Immortal Domain? He couldn¡¯t believe it, didn¡¯t want to believe it! This was the only inheritance of the First Heavenly Realm- How could it just cease to exist! Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were full of confusion as well. ¡°Elder Ji, what¡ what on earth is happening?¡± Dugu Yuqing asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know¡ ording to the ancestral records, there should be a bone of the Immortal King enshrined on this stone table, containing his Dao¡¡± ¡°Now, I know nothing anymore¡¡± Despair filled Ji Yuanqing¡¯s aged eyes! Profound despair! ¡°It seems time has passed too long, and even bones turned to dust¡ That¡¯s normal.¡± Lu Rang was nonchnt, saying, ¡°Does that mean the opportunity here has long been lost?¡± With that said, he walked forward. Just as he approached, suddenly, theyer of bone dust on the stone table stirred without wind, drifting towards Lu Rang! It directly floated into the pot of grass on Lu Rang¡¯s back! ¡°Hmm?¡± Seeing this, Lu Rang immediately became puzzled. How did this ¡°bone ash¡± fly into his grass? Upon seeing this, Ji Yuanqing¡¯s pupils constricted with disbelief. ¡°Impossible¡ª even if the bone dust has lost its divinity, it stilles from the Immortal King¡ How could it attach itself to the grass beneath?¡± He looked at the pot of grass in horror, asking, ¡°What¡ what grass is this?¡± Could it be that this grass is the legendary kind?! Impossible, that kind of grass existed only in legends, unseen by anyone! If it really were that kind of grass, that would be too terrifying¡ª ¡°This? This seed was given to me by my Master, who said it was Pasture Grass for feeding pigs and cattle in the future¡¡± Lu Rang answered. Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood! Grass that even the Immortal King¡¯s ashes would cling to was seen as mere Pasture Grass in someone¡¯s eyes? For feeding pigs? For cattle? What kind of household was this! He intensely felt that the person behind Lu Rang¡ was terrifyingly powerful. Dugu Yuqing also stepped forward, his gaze falling upon the Broken Sword, for he felt something unusual. As he drew near, the Broken Sword suddenly began to tremble violently! ¡°Woo¡ª¡± The Broken Sword seemed to cry out! A terrifying and majestic sword intent burst forth with the sword¡¯s cry, shocking this part of the world, resonating throughout the Myriad Realms! Outside the Immortal Dao Pce, the hundreds of people who wereprehending the Dao on the stairs, all couldn¡¯t help but kneel! This was a form of soul worship! This was an irresistible aura! This was truly a supreme existence! Surpassing¡ª Immortal! All were prostrate on the ground, trembling! ¡°No¡this Sword intent¡this Sword intent¡the legend is true, Wuji Xianwang betrayed the Immortal Domain, helped the First Heavenly Realm¡!¡± Within Xiao Yan¡¯s body, YangMiechen, the First Immortal General, was hugely shocked, his voice trembling! He blurted out a buried secret! Outside, a Blood Shadow was also forced to kneel by this terrifying aura at this moment! It struggled to raise its head! ¡°Wuji Xianwang, the Immortal King from the Southern Immortal Domain, had an unyielding friendship with the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm, and in thest battle, after the fall of the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm, it is rumored he flew into a rage, drew his sword against the Immortal Kings of the Immortal Domain¡and in the end¡his whereabouts became unknown¡¡± The Blood Shadow murmured, saying: ¡°His sword, left behind in this ce, has he died? Chose to follow the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm to the same fate¡¡± It softly voiced an ancient secret, and at this moment, the Blood Shadow too seemed to fall into a kind of sorrow¡ In the Heavenly Realm, Huangtian State. Within the Immortal Dao Pce. The Broken Sword sang softly, its majesty unparalleled. Dugu Yuqing instinctively reached out his hand! The broken sword suddenly flew out from the stone table,nding in his hand! The ancient and mottled Broken Sword could no longer be identified by its material, but upon lifting it, Dugu Yuqing felt a majestic force that seemed as if it could swallow the heavens! ¡°To don one¡¯s armor out of rage for a friend, and to stter blood across the Immortal Domain, what is there to fret about¡¡± Dugu Yuqing suddenly spoke softly, sensing from the Broken Sword a remnant of will. In his trance, he saw a Sword Venerable from beyond ages, sword in hand cutting down the Heavenly Immortals, unstoppable, fearless¡ Blood painted the Immortal Domain, madness unto ughter! Friend fallen, heart torn apart! An era¡¯s Sword King, rampaging through the heavens, ultimately found himself outnumbered, turned to dust, and finally fell¡ After death, his will, along with his sword, came to his old friend¡¯s Dao Pce, where it was buried. Echoes and sighs across countless years filled Dugu Yuqing¡¯s mind, for the instant he held the sword, many secrets of the ages became clear to him. Dugu Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but sense that trace of destion. Upon learning that his best friend was schemed against by the kings of the Immortal Domain, the Sword King donned his armor in fury, brandished his sword, and fought through the heavens, traversing realm after realm¡ Yet it couldn¡¯t bring back his friend¡¯s life, and he too fell! ¡°Though dead, my Dao is passed on, for in the world there still exists a True Sword Seed, and one day, with my sword, it¡¯ll pierce through the Immortal Domain, severing all Immortal Kings¡¡± Above the Broken Sword, the final will of that Sword King suddenly lightly echoed! With that, the Broken Sword roared! Dugu Yuqing couldn¡¯t help but raise the Broken Sword in his hands! He lifted the sword as if to pierce through the heavens! In an instant! A terrifying Sword intent surged, like a dreadful waterfall! This terrifying Sword intent directly pierced through the entire Heavenly Realm, through the vast sea of void and Myriad Dao. Straight to the Immortal Domain! Like aet piercing the sky! A sword split the barrier of the Immortal Domain, appearing above it! Sword intent stretched across ten thousand li! The sounds of battle shook the heavens! ¡°Though dead, my Dao is passed on¡¡± ¡°For in the world there still exists a True Sword Seed, one day, it¡¯ll carry my sword¡¡± ¡°To pierce through the Immortal Domain, severing all Immortal Kings¡¡± This Sword intent, that surged above the Immortal Domain, was merely to convey a message! To pass down¡the battle cry of an Immortal King of the past¡ªthe Infinite Sword King! He had passed on. But, his Dao had been inherited by someone! One day, that person will pierce through the Immortal Domain, severing all Immortal Kings! On this day¡the Immortal Domain trembled greatly! As if faced with towering waves! Immortal Domain! In a terrifying Immortal Pce, situated above the boundless sea of clouds! As the Sword intent appeared above the Immortal Domain, within the Immortal Pce, a pair of eyes terrifying as the sun suddenly opened! ¡°Merely the Lower World, and yet dares im the title ¡®True Sword Seed¡¯? If I could y you, I can y your inheritor!¡± ¡°Do you really think that I didn¡¯t leave behind measures when 1 killed you in those days?¡± A terrifying existence suddenly had a thought! With this thought, cause and effect copsed, Dao rose, and the Immortal Domain trembled! Chapter 144 - 132: The Great Sun Taoist Map Locks the Immortal King’s Avatar!_1 Chapter 144: Chapter 132: The Great Sun Taoist Map Locks the Immortal King¡¯s Avatar!_1 Heavenly Realm! In the Immortal Dao Pce of Huangtian State, Dugu Yuqing, holding the Broken Sword in his hand, felt at this moment as if he had be the only unique existence in this world! With only the sword in his hand, he could cut through all heavens! Sword Intent Soaring Through the Skies! However, at this very moment! Suddenly, within the Immortal Dao Pce, the tip of the Broken Sword lying beneath the stone table started to tremble abruptly! A terrifying light emitted from it, and the fearfulws and lights formed a phantom! As soon as this phantom appeared, the entire Immortal Dao Pce trembled instantly! It was a blurry figure, his appearance indistinct, but one could still feel a sense of his grand and majestic aura, as if he was an invincible Venerable from heaven and earth! The phantom figure stood with his hands behind his back, and the moment he appeared, the tip of the Broken Sword instantly turned to fine powder, no longer existing. ¡°A True Sword Seed capable of inheriting the Ultimate Sword Path?¡± ¡°Before my presence, all would be reduced to ashes¡ª¡± The phantom figure suddenly raised his hand. At that instant, inside the Dao Pce, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and Ji Yuanqing all felt an incredibly terrifying pressure! It was as if the Master of the mortal world had decreed their deaths. Their bodies trembled, almost kneeling down! At this moment, the pot of grass carried on Lu Rang¡¯s back emitted a white glow like bone ash, seemingly trying to resist. And the Broken Sword in Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hand emitted a faint sound, as if it harbored an unyielding will to fight. The ashes of the First Heavenly Realm¡¯s Immortal King and the Broken Sword of the Southern Immortal Domain¡¯s Infinite Sword King sensed the approach of their ancient foe and resisted on their own. Yet they could not stop the phantom figure from approaching step by step. ¡°To live and die by my hand, and in death, how could you possibly contend against me?¡± A voice, devoid of emotion yet vast, sounded from the phantom. He raised his hand. The Broken Sword drooped low, the green grass trembled! In Dugu Yuqing¡¯s heart surged an endless murderous intent towards the figure before him! ¡°No matter who you are, today, you must die!¡± He shouted furiously and suddenly pulled out a scroll from his bosom! The scroll unfurled rapidly, revealing a setting sun upon it! Mountain ranges undted, and the sun was like blood between heaven and earth. When this image appeared, the figure that was approaching them step by step, like a king, suddenly paused! The picture in Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hand suddenly disyed countless terrifyingws, as if a zing Great Sun had appeared within the pce! ¡°Great Sun Taoist Map¡ The Buddha of the Western Immortal Domain? He dares to interfere with my matters?!¡± The figure let out a surprised cry, then reached out towards the Great Sun Taoist Map! With that terrifying grasp, the entire Dao Pce thundered, and thews of heaven and earth almost copsed! Dugu Yuqing, fearless, held the image of the setting sun and stepped forward! ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡± Suddenly, that terrifying hand transformed into countlessws and dissipated into nothingness. ¡°How could this be?!¡± The phantom figure was taken aback. Moreover, at that instant, he clearly felt a terrifying power within the picture, like a whirlpool trying to suck him into the Dao Map! ¡°How dare you!¡± Countlessws of the Immortal Path draped from his body, and the whole world trembled with it! He resisted this terrifying attractive force. But at that moment, the Great Sun Taoist Map expanded infinitely, transforming into a realm of its own and aggressively enveloping the phantom figure! ¡°I can break through the Myriad Realms¡ªEven if you can lock me in this domain, I will shatter it and return!¡± With a final roar, the phantom figure swiftly vanished! The next moment, the grand hall fell silent. The terrifying Great Sun Taoist Map slowly drifted down from the air. And eventuallynded in Dugu Yuqing¡¯s hands. The figure, terrifying and unparalleled from heaven to earth, had disappeared. As if he had never appeared at all. ¡°What¡ What kind of Dao Map is this? Why is it so terrifying¡ It actually managed to absorb an existence of the Immortal King¡¯s level into it?!¡± Ji Yuanqing was trembling, looking at the scroll in disbelief, and out of reverence, bowed deeply! At this moment, Dugu Yuqing was also stunned; his expression slightly dazed, as if what had just happened was all a big dream¡ He clearly felt his spirit be one with the Sword Intent, soaring through the skies, breaking into the Immortal Domain¡ He clearly sensed, the moment the phantom figure appeared, an intense hatred and unwillingness flowing from the depths of his heart¡ He understood, all of this was because of the Broken Sword in his hand. Originating from a generation¡ Immortal King! ¡°Is this the reason Teacher wanted me toe here?¡± Dugu Yuqing murmured. At this moment, he realized that every arrangement made by his Teacher was so profound! ¡°Is Teacher trying to let me obtain the sword and Dao of the Wuji Xianwang to avenge them? What is the rtionship between Teacher and Wuji Xianwang?¡± His heart stirred with endless spection. Was his Teacher also an Immortal King?! He couldn¡¯t help but guess, but there was no answer. ¡°Damn it, that guy is finally gone; he scared me to death just now¡¡± Lu Rang patted his chest, looking visibly shaken. The silhouette that appeared just now exerted an immense pressure on him! Especially since the grass he had nted seemed to have undergone some sort of aberration. ¡°What¡¯s happened to my grass, it feels a bit changed¡ No good, I must hurry back and consult my master.¡± He spoke, ever since the ashes fell into the pot, he felt that the grass had undergone some kind of wonderful change¡ ¡°I believe, all of this must be within my master¡¯s expectations! These are what he wanted us to obtain¡¡± Dugu Yuqing said, picking up the scroll in his hand. The master must have foreseen the presence of an existence beyond immortality here, that is why he had me bring his Dao Map¡ ¡°Hmm?¡± Suddenly, his expression shook, as he discovered a hazy silhouette had appeared within the Great Sun Taoist Map created by his master! This silhouette was suspended mid-air, seemingly flying towards the red sun! ¡°What¡ What¡¯s going on?¡± Dugu Yuqing was shocked. Upon seeing this, Lu Rang also felt his hair stand on end and said, ¡°This couldn¡¯t be that old codger from before, could it? How did he get inside my master¡¯s painting?!¡± Ji Yuanqing stepped forward, took one look, and also eximed in disbelief, ¡°This Dao Map¡ has be a world unto itself, trapping an avatar of the Immortal King within?!¡± His expression was one of sheer horror! This was too inconceivable, wasn¡¯t it?! An Immortal King represented what kind of existence?! It was a synonym for invincibility! Considered the strongest in the Myriad Realms. Such a figure, with a single thought, could copse the Myriad Realms, but now, he was confined by a single map¡ What kind of formidable power could this map contain? He was dumbstruck for a long while before he finally snapped back to reality. ¡°Could the owner of this Dao Map¡ have a past with Wuji Xianwang or the Immortal King from the First Heavenly Realm?¡± He thought to himself. Clearly, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing weremanded by their master toe here and inherit the legacies of the two Immortal Kings! Moreover, he had anticipated the presence of an avatar of the Immortal King in the Immortal Domain, hence bestowing the Dao Map! ¡°Could it be that the terrifying existence behind them is affiliated with the First Heavenly Realm? At the very least¡ very friendly towards the First Heavenly Realm!¡± Ji Yuanqing¡¯s expression was one of excitement, unable to help himself, he asked while looking at Dugu Yuqing, ¡°May I dare to ask the two young masters if your honored teacher¡ has a history with the First Heavenly Realm?¡± Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. He did not know either! However, he had realized that Ji Yuanqing seemed to be associated with the First Heavenly Realm and possibly even a guardian of sorts for this Immortal Dao Pce- Unwilling to disappoint the other, he replied, ¡°The depths of my master¡¯s insight are unfathomable, and we do not know, but¡ the reason the new great world is named Heavenly Realm¡ is precisely due to his edict!¡± Dugu Yuqing informed him. Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanqing was extremely excited! ¡°Indeed, indeed!¡± ¡°The one behind them is the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, the being from Xuan Tianzhou¡ He has a past with the First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°The prophecy of the Immortal King from the First Heavenly Realm stated that the emergence of the Immortal Dao Pce would bring forth one to quell everything, surely pointing to this senior. Now, he is setting his ns in motion¡¡± He wept with joy, feeling at this moment that the endurance and humiliation borne by thousands of generations of his lineage had finally borne fruit. ¡°To think that a silhouette has entered the painting¡ This matter is very peculiar; we must immediately return to Xuan Tianzhou and report to our master!¡± Dugu Yuqing continued, stowing away the Broken Sword. Lu Rang also shouldered the grass and said, ¡°Yes, yes, I also think it¡¯s time to leave; this ce is too problematic!¡± The group then left the pce. Upon leaving the pce, they saw that on the steps outside the Dao Pce, hundreds of people from the Heavenly Realm were kneeling on the ground, trembling! Just now, the Immortal Dao Pce had emitted several auras surpassing immortality, which was too terrifying for them, hence they were still immersed in fright. ¡°Miss Qing Lan, Miss Xia Yao, you may rise, there is no further trouble here.¡± Dugu Yuqing stepped forward and spoke to Qing Lan and Xia Yao. Upon hearing this, Qing Lan and Xia Yao finally recovered from their daze and stood up. At this moment, the terrifying and ultimate aura that had emanated from within the pce had slowly dissipated. In front of the Immortal Dao Pce, the hundreds who knelt on the ground, shaking continuously, gradually calmed down. ¡°What happened just now?¡± ¡°Heavens, what kind of being was that, more terrifying than the Immortals¡ How is this possible¡¡± ¡°What kind of beings are involved in this Pce of White Bones¡ It¡¯s unimaginable¡¡± The crowd was in a daze, overwhelmed with shock. The impact they received today was simply too much! Even outside the barrier, an Immortal-level existence had appeared! And after entering this ce, Yin Soldiers had emerged, guarding the Dao Pce forged from the bones of Immortals. Within the Dao Pce, even beings above Immortality were involved¡ ¡°Did they get the opportunity?¡± At this moment, everyone¡¯s gaze also fell upon Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing. For a time, a burning desire appeared in many eyes! After all, that was an opportunity rted to something beyond Immortality! If obtained, what kind of future could one have? ¡°These two are the truly fated ones, and furthermore, they are the disciples of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± At this point, Ji Yuanqing suddenly spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Those who gain the opportunities here today are the sessors of the First Heavenly Realm, and must respect the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°He who does not respect will perish untimely!¡± Hearing this, everyone on the scene was deeply shocked! Chapter 145 - 133 Disappearance of the Dao Palace 1 Chapter 145: Chapter 133 Disappearance of the Dao Pce 1 Ji Yuanqing¡¯s words caused everyone¡¯s faces to change dramatically! The Lord of the Heavenly Realm!? Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were actually disciples of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm? For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing were filled with shock! In the current Heavenly Realm, who did not know of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm? Some time ago, the Four Great Alliances joined forces to attack Xuan Tianzhou, but the awe-inspiring existence in Xuan Tianzhou issued an Edict, and the Four Great Alliances submitted! And at that time, Jiang Xue, who casually obliterated several Golden Immortals, informed the world that one could refer to the existence who wrote the Edict as¡ the Lord of the Heavenly Realm! It is known to all that in Xuan Tianzhou, there might very well be an Immortal-level being. Because only beings at the Immortal level have the ability to write an Edict. ¡°1 was wondering how Lu Rang could be so defiant, breaking through nine games, when in actual fact the one really ying the game was the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm personally set up this ce? That¡¯s terrifying. I always thought the Lord was Immortal, but before he had made an Immortal out of a single game of chess¡ he could very likely be above Immortal!¡± ¡°I finally understand why the merged new world is called the Heavenly Realm, that senior in Xuan Tianzhou could very likely be a fearsome figure from the time of the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± For a time, everyone in the venue began to speak. Ji Yuanqing¡¯s words truly led them to imagine countless possibilities! At the same time, the fervor and greed previously seen in everyone¡¯s eyes hadpletely disappeared! What remained was only reverence and devotion! ¡°s, our ability toe here, to receive the inheritance of Immortality on this dais, is all due to the grace of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. Without him, we couldn¡¯t even have entered!¡± ¡°Indeed, the Lord of the Heavenly Realm¡¡± ¡°Following under the Lord of the Heavenly Realm¡¯s banner, perhaps in the future, we could recreate the First Heavenly Realm¡¡± Once again, everyone began to speak. ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± Suddenly, a youth cried out and fell to his knees before Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang! ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°The Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± Everyone called out in turn, all of them kneeling! They were all bowing in worship! Even Xiao Yan could not help but kneel down at this moment. For within him, Yang Miechen waspelling him to kneel. ¡°Kid, even within the Immortal Domain, it¡¯s incredibly difficult to meet an Immortal Monarch, let alone an existence that surpasses Immortality. The current being of the Heavenly Realm¡ you must not show disrespect!¡± These were the words of Yang Miechen, the First Immortal General! Meanwhile, at a location quite distant from the Immortal Dao Pce, a Blood Shadow was watching in the direction of the Immortal Dao Pce. ¡®The First Heavenly Realm clearly had only one Immortal King, who has already perished. Where did this Lord of the Heavenly Realme from?!¡± In its words was an apparent wariness, it took a deep look at the Immortal Dao Pce, and the next moment, it suppressed its longing and turned to leave! In front of the Immortal Dao Pce. Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing saw the scene before them and exchanged a look, each seeingplexity in the other¡¯s eyes. Now, nearly all these people had received the inheritance of Immortality. One could imagine what achievements they might have in the future. And these people, now all revered Li Fan as the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. If Li Fan were tomand, they would inevitably assemble! ¡°This, perhaps, is also part of the Master s n, to let the people of the Heavenly Realm receive the inheritance here, thereby cultivating a force that belongs to the First Heavenly Realm?¡± Dugu Yuqing was filled with guesses. He immediately stepped forward and said, ¡°Gentlemen, please rise!¡± ¡°The opportunity here has been obtained. Please follow me and leave!¡± Immediately, everyone rose to their feet. And followed behind Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang. They moved forward and soon left the area of the Immortal Dao Pce, about to enter the region rampant with Yin Soldiers and steeped in evil Yin Qi. ¡°Boom boom? ¡± Just at this moment, a tremendous roar suddenly erupted from behind, and everyone turned around only to see the Immortal Dao Pce rising from the ground, its destination unknown! ¡°The mission of the Immortal Dao Pce is to leave behind its legacy¡ Now that the legacy has been passed on, unless the person of this generation who received the inheritance dies, the Immortal Dao Pce will not reappear¡¡± Ji Yuanqing spoke, his words filled with sorrow. The Immortal Dao Pce was the cornerstone of the First Heavenly Realm, and countless powerful beings from the Immortal Domain had been mobilized to try to destroy it. Now that the Immortal Dao Pce had emerged, causing such immense waves, it was inevitable that the Immortal Domain would take notice. Staying here meant a high probability of annihtion. After all, the Yin Soldiers in this ce were not capable of withstanding an attack from the Immortal Domain. To Ji Yuanqing, perhaps he hoped to see the Immortal Dao Pce again, yet also wished that it would never appear again. Because he did not want to see the people who received the inheritance today, one by one, die. ¡°Let¡¯s go¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke up. He took the lead, stepping into the miasma of malevolent energy and Yin Qi. As they faced forward, they saw countless Yin Soldiers, rising from a mountain of corpses and sea of bones, silent as if observing this group of people. Dugu Yuqing clenched a feather brush in his hand, ready to act at a moment s notice. Yet the densely packed Yin Soldiers around them remainedpletely still. The spirits of warhorses and the remains of the dead seemed like silent sculptures. Between them, a path was left open. The Yin Soldiers lined up on both sides of the path, in that moment, as if they were seeing off the living. All who passed through were deeply shaken, trembling as they walked between the Yin Soldiers. ¡°The Immortal Dao Pce has flown away, and the legacy has been left behind. To these Yin Soldiers, their final wish has been fulfilled. Perhaps after today, they will truly decay, returning to dust and earth, ceasing to exist.¡± Ji Yuanqingmented, his old eyes filled with profound sadness. Many among these dead Yin Soldiers were recorded in the ancestral records of the Ji Family. They were the heroic spirits who had once fought to the death for the First Heavenly Realm. Finally, Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang, leading the people, arrived at the edge of the Barrier. At that moment, Dugu Yuqing turned around to look at the densely arranged Yin Soldiers behind them. All of a sudden, he raised the broken sword in his hand and dered, ¡°One day, we shall restore the First Heavenly Realm! We shall y all the kings in the Immortal Domain!¡± The countless silent Yin Soldiers now erupted with a roaring murderous intent that shook the heavens! ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± It was their unyielding roar, the great hatred of their lifetime! Dugu Yuqmg took onest deep look at the countless Yin Soldiers, then turned his head and, together with Lu Rang, stepped out of the Barrier. -With the legacy of the Immortal Dao Pce obtained, the Barrier reopened. Soon, everyone had left the Barrier. ¡°Boom boom¡ª¡± The moment they stepped out of the Barrier, a terrifying light enveloped the ce, and everything behind them vanished from sight. Looking vaguely into the distance, the mountains were graceful, and the ranges undting. The Ancient Battlefield also quietly vanished. Perhaps it would never appear again. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Xuan Tianzhou!¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke, Lu Rang and he prepared to leave. ¡°Fellow Daoists, we part here, thank you for your Immortal Spirit Stones. Our vige will continue to recruit for pig farming; if you¡¯re interested, remember toe ah¡ª¡± Lu Rang, in his carefree manner,ughed as he left these words before the two of them transformed into a ray of light, immediately departing! The few hundred people from the Four Great Alliances remained, their expressionsplex. Meanwhile, in the Immortal Domain! Above the Immortal Domain, a hugemotion stirred! The entire Immortal Domain¡. was boiling over! Chapter 146 - 134 Immortal Domain Tremor 1 Chapter 146: Chapter 134 Immortal Domain Tremor 1 Immortal Domain! Today, towering waves have arisen! First was an indomitable will that actually burst through the barrier from the Lower World, shocking the Five Great Immortal Domains. This will, appearing above the Immortal Domain, headed straight for the Western Immortal Domain! In no time, this will had already appeared before an ancient and grand city in the Western Immortal Domain! ¡°Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, First Heavenly Realm¡¯s Zhan Li, hase to kill you!¡± Zhan Li¡¯s will, with a thunderous shout, surged with killing intent! Instantly, the entire Immortal City shook violently, and countless Arrays buried beneath the city erupted in brilliant light, and various defensive barriers lit up all at once! ¡°A great enemy is attacking!¡± ¡°Which Immortal Monarch dares to strike at our Holy Golden Immortal City!¡± ¡°Quick, report to the Immortal Monarch!¡± The city was in chaos, and the Immortal Generals defending it were in shock! Because, the great enemy who had arrived was an Immortal Monarch! It must be understood that even within the Immortal Domain, if an Immortal Monarch engages in a grand battle, it¡¯s a colossal event that could spark a storm! And at this moment¡ the arriving Immortal Monarch was actually from¡ the First Heavenly Realm! Even within the Immortal Domain, the First Heavenly Realm was almost taboo. It was rarely mentioned on an ordinary day. Because matters regarding that realm involved some terrifying Immortal Kings! ¡°The First Heavenly Realm? Hasn¡¯t it already turned to ashes? It was destroyed in the long river of history long ago¡¡± ¡°Why does the First Heavenly Realm still have an Immortal Monarch appearing today?¡± ¡°Zhan Li¡ I seem to have heard that name before. In the war against the First Heavenly Realm, he was said to be the strongest of the younger generation, ying several peers of superior talents from the Immortal Domains and finally forcing Holy Golden Immortal Monarch to take action and suppress him¡¡± For a moment, countless people in Holy Golden Immortal City murmured in shock. ¡°Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, do you dare not to fight?¡± ¡°If you dare not fight, today I shall ughter your Immortal City¡ª¡± Zhan Li¡¯s will had already transformed into a valiant young man. Standing with his hands behind his back, he took one step forward, and in an instant, the entire Holy Golden Immortal City was on the verge of copse! Countless barriers were annihted on the spot, and many defensive arrays were directly destroyed! His prowess was terrifying beyond measure! In the Holy Golden Immortal City, countless cultivators wailed! ¡°Who dares to ravage my ce of cultivation!¡± Finally, within Holy Golden Immortal City, a cold and majestic voice rang out atst! Following this voice, a tremendously fearsome Divine Metal Immortal Mace suddenly soared from within the Holy Golden Immortal City, and then, carrying endless might, it cleaved towards Zhan Li! Zhan Li, upon seeing this, merely raised his hand with a cold nce, and instantly, the Divine Metal Immortal Mace was repelled, unable to get close to him! Above the Holy Golden Immortal City stood a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe, finally appearing. His skin glowed with a golden luster, like a golden statue! In his eyes there flickered a golden light that seemed able to prate everything! Western Immortal Domain¡¯s Holy Golden Immortal Monarch! ¡°Zhan Li? An ant that died by my hand tens of thousands of years ago, I didn¡¯t expect you today would dare to transform into a dragon ande to provoke me?!¡± Holy Golden Immortal Monarch said coldly, ¡°Even if you¡¯ve be an Immortal Monarch, so what? Not to mention it¡¯s just a mere will that has achieved Dao, even if you were alive, I could kill you once again!¡± He gripped the Divine Metal Immortal Mace in his hand, took one step out, and in a sh, myriad terrifying Dao swept towards Zhan Li! ¡°Die!¡± He roared furiously! Zhan Li¡¯s remaining will was now enveloped by battle fury, with myriad terrifying Dao surrounding him, he engaged the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch in battle! Void annihted, the fight reached the brink of madness! This battlested for three days and three nights! Almost the entire Western Immortal Domain bore signs of their ferociousbat, and the war raged in all directions, drawing intense attention from the entire Immortal Domain! ¡°What¡¯s happening¡ The First Heavenly Realm has been obliterated for so many years, why can a mere will still be Immortal and ascend to the Immortal Domain?¡± ¡°There must have been a cataclysm in the Lower World, the will of Wuji Xianwang has also appeared in the Immortal Domain above, vowing to y all kings¡ What exactly happened in the past?¡± ¡°There must be a raging storm hidden in the Lower World!¡± All parties were paying attention, even Immortals from the Immortal-level powers were opening their eyes to witness the battle between Zhan Li and Holy Golden Immortal Monarch! On the third day, at dusk, from some ce on the ground, the wailing of the Immortal Monarch shattered the heavens! That spot on the earth exploded with a boom, forming a terrifying crater. What followed was that, within the Western Immortal Domain, suddenly the sky rained blood! ¡°An Immortal Monarch has fallen!¡± For a moment, the entire Western Immortal Domain was shaken! The fall of an Immortal Monarch, nourishing the Immortal Domain with his demise, thus his entire cultivation essence turned into blood rain, returning to the heavens and the earth! The sky filled with blood rain, also known as the weeping of the heavens, signifies the death of Immortals! ¡°Has the great war finally drawn to a close? The Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, has he really perished? Inconceivable!¡± ¡°How is this possible? That Zhan Li, said to be a lingering will, can actually battle and kill a powerful Immortal Monarch of the Western Immortal Domain?¡± ¡°It¡¯s terrifying!¡± All directions took notice! And the Holy Golden Immortal City, on that very day, crumbled, plunging into an apocalyptic state. With the falling of an Immortal Monarch, his lineage too would be greatly weakened. This battle, atst, has reached its conclusion! Many major forces on that day went to the final battlefield to investigate. ¡°Zhan Li has already dispersed soul and spirit!¡± ¡°The Divine Metal mace of the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, its whereabouts unknown¡¡± ¡°At the site, it seemed there were traces of other auras as well¡¡± For a moment, opinions abound! In the end, a grand voice emanated from the Immortal Monarch¡¯s temple in the Western Immortal Domain: ¡°The Holy Golden Immortal Monarch has fallen in battle, but a thread of essence blood is preserved in the Immortal Monarch¡¯s temple of the Western Immortal Domain, there¡¯s still hope for rebirth!¡± Upon the release of the message, shock reverberated in all directions. The Holy Golden Immortal Monarch¡ truly fell in battle! ¡°Gods, the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, touted as one of the strongest Immortal Monarchs in the Western Immortal Domain, right? It was said he even had hopes to ascend as an Immortal King, and now he fell in battle¡¡± ¡°Unbelievable, Zhan Li of the First Heavenly Realm, merely a lingering will, could prove Immortality and even y the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch?¡± ¡°The Lower World will surely face great turmoil, we must pay attention!¡± Everyone in the Immortal Domain was shaken. And at this moment, in the upper echelons of the Immortal Domain, a secret whisper quietly spread: ¡°A certain Immortal King left behind a clone in the Lower World as a contingency, to wait for when the remnants of the First Heavenly Realm¡ªthe Infinite Sword King¡¯s Sword Intent¡ªsurged to the Immortal Domain. He once summoned that clone, but thereafter, lost all contact¡¡± This secret was known to very few, only the true powerhouses had heard of it. This whisper was even more astonishing than the news of the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch falling in battle! In the upper echelons of the Immortal Domain, all were stirred without exception. ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that in the Lower World there exists someone who can contend¡ or even repress that Immortal King¡¯s avatar?¡± ¡°Impossible, throughout history in the Lower World, only the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm has sessfully ascended, and he¡¯s dead, along with his friend, the Wuji Xianwang of the Southern Immortal Domain, who was also in. Who else could there be in the Lower World?¡± ¡°Immediately investigate the Million Lower Realms! We must uncover the origins of this cmity!¡± All parties immediately focused their attention! Blue Cloud Immortal City. This ce, an Immortal city, is the dwellings of the Blue Cloud Immortal Monarch. Today, within the Immortal Monarch¡¯s Grand Hall, a voice coldly issued forth: ¡°Immediately send word, search the Lower World, we must find the source!¡± Universe-Sun Immortal City. ¡°The edict of Universe-Sun Immortal Monarch is given,mand the Nine Great Immortal Generals, immediately lead your men to the Lower World, to investigate the source of the Infinite Sword King¡¯s Sword Intent!¡± From one Immortal Monarch¡¯s Holy City to another, orders were incessantly issued! The eyes of the Immortal Domain, all turned towards the Lower World! At that very moment, in the boundless depths, amidst the surging clouds and radiant mists, within a majestic Immortal Pce. A pair of eyes flickered uncertainly, anger rising, as if the very Dao of heaven and earth was trembling with them. ¡°A mere Lower World, who is it that has imprisoned my clone?!¡± The formidable being murmured in a low voice, immediately saying, ¡°I am in a critical period and cannot go in person¡¡± With a snap of his fingers, a streak of light instantly traversed the entire Immortal Domain and appeared in the endless Void Ocean of the Lower World. The streak of light, in an instant, transformed into a human figure. He strides like a dragon and tiger, d in a blue wide-sleeved robe, his eyes resembling the stars in the night sky, seemingly able to peer through all heavens! He walked through the Void Ocean, searching for something! Chapter 147 - 135 True Sword Seed_1 Chapter 147: Chapter 135 True Sword Seed_1 Heavenly Realm. After Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing and their party left the Burial Immortal Mountain Range, everything behind them suddenly disappeared. As if nothing had ever existed. ¡°Young Master Lu, Young Master Dugu, where should we go from here, please instruct us!¡± Alliance Leader Yue Poshan of the Earth Spirit Alliance immediately greeted the two of them reverently and asked. Now, they all revered Li Fan as their lord. For one, they all understood that it was the Lord of the Heavenly Realm who had bestowed all this upon them. If it weren¡¯t for the Lord of the Heavenly Realm¡¯s intervention, they would have had no chance of even getting close to the gates of the Immortal Dao Pce. Secondly, between the First Heavenly Realm and the Immortal Domain, there existed an undying, immutable enmity. Now that they had received the legacy of the Immortal Dao Pce of the First Heavenly Realm, once the Immortal Domain found out, they would certainly not allow them to live! Therefore, their only path was to follow by the side of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. After all, this Lord of the Heavenly Realm might very well be an existence that had transcended Immortality! This was their only way now. ¡°For the time being, you all may return to your original Sect Gates. From today onwards, the Four Great Alliances must heed themands of Xuantian State.¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke, saying, ¡°The Xuantian Alliance is the one my master intends to establish!¡± Upon hearing this, everyone deeply bowed! ¡°We will honor themand!¡± ¡°We will honor themand!¡± Afterward, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing stepped onto the Teleportation Array, preparing to leave. ¡°Hey, if we want to go raise pigs in your vige, how could we find you?¡± At this moment, Xia Yao chased after them and asked. The figures of Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing gradually faded, leaving only a voice that reached her ears: ¡°Southern Region of Xuantian State, Cangli Mountain Range. The rest is up to destiny.¡± Xia Yao, looking in the direction they vanished, murmured, ¡°Xuantian State- Southern Territory, Cangli Mountain Range!¡± She turned her head, saying, ¡°Sister Qing Lan, shall we go straight to Xuantian State?¡± Qing Lan nodded, took a deep breath, and said, ¡°We must go to Xuantian State!¡± Xuantian State. Southern Territory. Today, the Southern Territory was also deeply shaken. The various vibrations continuously emanating from Huangtian State directly shocked the world. It was terrifying. Yuanyang Holy Lord and others understood that all this was mostly rted to the two great disciples sent by Li Fan. After returning to the Taiyan Holy Land, a group of them were all on pins and needles. ¡°What on earth happened today, those terrifying auras one after another, was it almost enough to tear the heavens apart?¡± ¡°Senior Li casually yed a chess move, and it led to the rise of an Immortal. It¡¯s simply unimaginable, and what¡¯s even more inconceivable is that in Huangtian State, there exists a being that surpasses Immortals¡¡± ¡°I seriously doubt if we are dreaming, as if we have returned to the age of ancient myths¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming and Dugu Chenlu, all couldn¡¯t help but express their feelings. Who could have imagined that just over a month ago, this was merely a realm known by a Mysterious Character? Before that, they were looking up at Almost Immortals, longing to see an Immortal but unable to meet one. Now, they have encountered even Immortals, a presence only heard of in legends¡ ¡°The vast nid out by Senior Li is too terrifying. 1 once thought we could be fortunate enough to be a link in Senior Li¡¯s chess game, but now I realize we are just ants after all, facing a giant dragon without knowing¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord sighed deeply. Everyone nodded, thinking of the grand scheme set by Senior Li that involved Immortals and beings even above Immortals¡ The thought alone made their scalps tingle! ¡°The Teleportation Array has been activated, are Senior Li¡¯s two great disciples returning?¡± At this moment, Saint Lord Lingchao suddenly spoke. Everyone hurriedly gathered around the Teleportation Array. Soon after, a gate of space suddenly opened, and following that, two figures stumbled out. ¡°Ough -¡± Upon appearing, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing immediately began to vomit! With pale faces, both looked extremely weak! Seeing this, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were shocked! ¡°Young Masters, was there a great battle? Are there pursuersing behind? Quick, shut down the Teleportation Array!¡± ¡°To have reduced Senior Li¡¯s two great disciples to such a state, there must be a great enemy! Alliance Leader Ling¡¯er, Alliance Leader Qian Ning, please lend your aid!¡± Everyone was extremely anxious! One must know, Li Fan¡¯s two disciples were both of a realm above True Immortals. Moreover, both of them carried treasures bestowed by Li Fan. To be in such a sorry state, they must have encountered a tremendous enemy! ¡°No¡ it¡¯s not that¡¡± Lu Rang struggled to stand up with the support of a pir, saying: ¡°We¡ got motion sick, water! Give us water¡¡± Motion sickness!? Upon hearing these words, Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were all taken aback. Noble cultivators, and they speak of such ailments? Soon, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing finally rested well and regained their spirits. ¡°Young Master Lu, what exactly happened in Huangtian State?¡± ¡°Could you inform us?¡± The crowd spoke up. Dugu Chen also turned to Dugu Yuqing and said, ¡°Yuqing, what exactly happened there? Why does the sword in your hand make your father want to offer the highest respect and worship¡¡± Dugu Yuqing looked up and said, ¡°I shall not conceal it from you all, Huangtian State is indeed a part of what once was the First Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°This time, it was the emergence of the Immortal Dao Pce from the First Heavenly Realm, there appeared Immortals and such¡¡± He briefly recounted what had happened in Huangtian State. The incident was no secret. Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. ¡°Senior Li casually yed a game of chess, and allowed an Almost Immortal, whose will was on the brink of death, to break through and be a True Immortal¡ too terrifying.¡± ¡°The thought of the Immortal Dao Pce alone is horrifying¡¡± ¡°The Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm¡ Wuji Xianwang¡ these, all are great taboos!¡± Many sighed continuously in amazement! ¡°In addition, the being that annihted the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm in ancient times left behind a clone, which attacked us, intending to carry out an act of utter annihtion.¡± Dugu Yuqing continued, ¡°Fortunately, my master bestowed a Dao Map before departing, and that clone has now been locked within this map.¡± He showed the Sunset Dao Chart given by Li Fan to everyone. Inside the Dao Map, a figure was approaching the sunset! ¡°Terrifying, utterly terrifying¡ This clone is very likely to be¡ that level of a being!¡± ¡°And it was captured by Senior Li with just a chart¡ Isn¡¯t Senior Li way too incredible?¡± ¡°Senior Li surely had foreseen this. Only an existence at the level of an Immortal King could have moved his thoughts, right?¡± Everyone was filled with deep emotion! ¡°Hm? Junior Brother, I¡¯ve noticed that this figure is now closer to that sunset than before.¡± At this moment, Lu Rang suddenly spoke. His keen eyes had spotted the anomaly. Dugu Yuqing scrutinized it carefully once again, and his heart trembled. He said, ¡°Indeed, this figure¡ it seems to move within the painting, getting closer to the sunset!¡± Lu Rang¡¯s face grew uneasy as he said, ¡°When it reaches the sunset, won¡¯t it be able to break out of this painting and reappear?¡± Considering the terror of that figure, both Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing wore extremely solemn expressions. ¡°We must quickly return and see our master. This matter is terrifying to no end; only he is capable of handling it!¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke immediately; they could no longer afford a moment¡¯s dy. They set off at once. Meanwhile. Above the Immortal Domain. ¡°That is the Sword Intent of Wuji Xianwang¡ Has he truly fallen¡?¡± A group of powerful generals stood in a deste wastnd, with the leader being a middle-aged man carrying a gigantic iron sword on his back. His arms, bulging with muscles like that of serpentine dragons, were extremely robust, and his battle armor was mottled, clearly worn by a hardened Immortal General who had fought his way through piles of dead! Such an iron-d warrior now had tears in his tiger-like eyes as he looked to the sky, filled with sorrow! Hailing from the Southern Territory, they had been searching tirelessly for the source of One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens,¡¯ for they believed it must be rted to Wuji Xianwang, and might even be Wuji Xianwang himself¡ But now, as a Sword Intent broke through the barriers between worlds and returned to the Immortal Domain, issuing a bloodied battle cry to its old foes, they knew¡ Wuji Xianwang had indeed fallen! ¡°The Immortal King has fallen¡ Is there still a need for us to search?¡± ¡°The Immortal Demon Monarch above the Forbidden Sea, perhaps out of fear that the Immortal King was not dead, dared not make a move; now that the whole Immortal Domain knows of the Immortal King¡¯s demise¡ it likely won¡¯t be long before the Demon Race¡¯s great armies wille sweeping through once again.¡± ¡°What should we do¡¡± The twelve powerful Immortal Generals following the man were all looking dejected and lost. The man with the gigantic iron sword had the sorrow in his eyes fade away, and he suddenly clenched his fist! ¡°The Immortal King said there is a True Sword Seed in the Lower World!¡± ¡°It¡¯s difficult to find a True Sword Seed in the world, for a Sword Seed¡¯s emergence has no rival! The Immortal King has passed down his Sword Dao, and now, we must descend to the Lower World, locate the heir of the Immortal King, and protect their growth!¡± ¡°This is the only chance for our Southern Immortal Domain!¡± His words were filled with resolve! The twelve great Immortal Generals behind him nodded in agreement! Chapter 148 - 136: Erase the Immortal King in One Stroke?_1 Chapter 148: Chapter 136: Erase the Immortal King in One Stroke?_1 Heavenly Realm. Southern Territory, Cangli Mountain Range. Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and others had already hurried back to the small mountain vige. When they entered the vige, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they reached this ce, even if it were beings above immortality itself, they wouldn¡¯t be so worried anymore. They soon arrived outside Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. Lu Rang went straight forward to push the door open and entered the courtyard, saying, ¡°Master, we have returned.¡± Inside the courtyard, Li Fan was leisurely teaching Xinning to read poetry and ying chess at the same time. His opponent was himself. Having yed chess with Lu Rang before, whose skills in the game were not so great, Li Fan had be somewhat interested, hence the few rounds against himself. ¡°You¡¯ve all returned. Did everything go smoothly on your journey?¡± Seeing Lu Rang and others return, Li Fan asked with a smile. The other disciples too stopped what they were doing and turned their gaze towards Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing! Nan Feng, Zi Ling, Long Zixuan, and others all had a hint of anticipation and curiosity in their eyes. They knew that this time, the two younger brothers had stirred up huge waves on their journey! Even beings of the Immortal and even above that level had appeared. ¡°Reporting to Master, all went smoothly,¡± Dugu Yuqing reported, saying, ¡°We havepleted the task ording to Master¡¯s wishes!¡± His heart was still somewhat moved; if Master had told him and Lu Rang before departing that they would face Immortals, beings above immortality, he probably wouldn¡¯t have dared to go! Fortunately, the items from the Immortal Dao Pce were now secured. He believed that was the Master¡¯s intent. Li Fan, hearing this, smiled as well. It seemed that the task was aplished quite perfectly. Dugu Yuqing had only learned calligraphy for a short time but was already making a name for himself in the outside world? ¡°The prize then? Let me have a look,¡± Li Fan inquired. He was quite curious about the prizes offered in the outsidepetition. If possible, he might consider participating in the future¡ Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing was startled, but then quickly realized what was meant! The ¡°prize¡± teacher was referring to must be that Broken Sword! For the teacher, this experience was a test for his disciples, and the items gained as a result were naturally regarded as prizes! ¡°Here it is!¡± Dugu Yuqing immediately presented the Broken Sword with great respect. Seeing this, everyone else was taken aback. ¡°This sword¡ so terrifying, it emits not a single horrifying aura, yet it¡¯s like an abyss, unfathomable¡¡± Long Zixuan couldn¡¯t help but speak out! ¡°Though dormant and concealed, one can still sense that invincible sharpness¡ This sword must have once been bathed in True Brahma Holy Blood¡¡± Qing Chen murmured even more. In his eyes, this sword was simply an enormous fierce weapon! Supreme fierceness! The Yuanyang Holy Lord and others were all profoundly shocked. Merely a nce at this sword imposed upon them a pressure their souls could hardly withstand! ¡°This sword¡ Just by approaching it, 1 almost transcend into the Dao¡ Can it absorb all the Sword Dao of the world?!¡± Dugu Chenlu murmured in astonishment. This was too terrifying. Xinning also widened her eyes, looking incredulously at the Broken Sword! ¡°Demon Monarch, this, is this the legendary sword from the Southern Immortal Domain?!¡± Gong Ya asked with a trembling voice. This sword almost made her kneel! Because the Broken Sword had once been bathed in countless Demon Blood, she even felt it included the blood of the Immortal Demon Monarch and even¡ beyond that, the blood of a Demon King! This was too horrifying¡ The feat could only belong to that one sword from the Southern Immortal Domain! The Wuji Immortal Sword that once guarded Tian Nan, deterring the Demon Domain from crossing even a step beyond the Forbidden Sea! ¡°It must be¡ In the world, only that sword would possess such terrifying might¡ Why is this sword in the Lower World? Could the legend be true?¡± Xinning murmured, ¡°The Infinite Sword King of the Southern Immortal Domain, due to his friend, the Immortal King of the First Heavenly Realm being harmed, unsheathed his sword to battle the kings of the Immortal Domain¡ and fell in the Lower World?¡± Thinking thus, her big eyes turned to Li Fan, filled with even more doubts! Then, who exactly was Li Fan? How did he know where this sword was? And moreover, he could easily send disciples to retrieve it¡ While everyone was still in shock, Li Fan casually took the Broken Sword and weighed it in his hand. It turned out to be a Broken Sword? This prize was quite unusual; could it be some sort of antique? Li Fan said, ¡°The sword is not bad, and the materials used for the forging are also alright. It¡¯s just a shame it¡¯s broken¡ Perhaps it will be better if I have a chance to reforge it someday.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was even more shocked. Such a terrifying divine sword, in the eyes of Li Fan, was actually only¡ Still okay¡ Quite alright¡ ¡°Even the sword of the Infinite Sword King, in his eyes, is just okay¡¡± Xinning murmured, her mind drifting into a daze, what kind of existence was she actually facing¡ Gong Ya¡¯s expression was even moreplicated; the more she understood the terror of this sword, the more she realized how frightening Li Fan¡¯s casualments were! Dugu Yuqing¡¯s eyes lit up as he said, ¡°Master, are you versed in the art of sword casting?¡± Li Fan smiled and replied, ¡°Sword casting? Your teacher has merely a little knowledge about cksmithing¡¡± cksmithing? Everyone was momentarily stunned. But, they soon understood! ¡°Senior Li¡¯s mention of cksmithing¡ it refers to the grand path of artifact refinement!¡± Everyone came to this realization! Artifact refinement, in the eyes of the world, was profound and difficult, but for an entity like Senior Li¡ it was as simple as an ordinary cksmith forging iron! Dugu Yuqing was immediately overjoyed, fully aware of the significance behind his teacher¡¯s words! For others, a little knowledge might indeed mean just that. However, everyone in the room understood that Li Fan¡¯s little knowledge¡ surely meant another path leading to ultimate mastery. ¡°The Dao of artifact refinement is immenselyplicated; among ten thousand cultivators, only one or two lucky ones might emerge capable of refinement¡ Yet Senior Li is also an expert in this field.¡± ¡°Senior Li truly is learned beyond mortal kin, and I really want to know, is there anything in this world that he does not understand?¡± ¡°Versed in ancient and modern wisdom, there is nothing beyond his reach¡ it is just so.¡± People also sighed with admiration. ¡°Right, Master, there¡¯s one more thing, this time¡ there¡¯s an extra person in your painting!¡± Dugu Yuqing continued, taking out the Great Sun Taoist Map that Li Fan had given him and unrolling it. Nan Feng and Zi Ling also came over, curious about the extra person in their Master¡¯s painting. What was the situation? A group of disciples paid close attention. Yuanyang Holy Lord and others were even more solemn; they knew the contents of this painting were extremely significant, involving existences beyond immortality. As the scroll was unfurled, everyone saw the red sun within, as if plucked from the realm of reality into the painting, the space within the scroll vast, with the red sun setting in the west, filled with an indescribable supreme truth. And now, within the painting, there was a figure approaching the red sun. ¡°Closer by a margin!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were shocked beyond measure. Compared to when they were at Taiyan Holy Land, the figure was now closer to the red sun. ¡°This clone could belong to an existence above immortality¡ if it approaches, it might break out of the painting!¡± ¡°If such a supreme existence is unleashed, the Million Lower Realms may be in for cataclysmic upheaval, with no one able to stop it¡¡± They were all fraught with anxiety! As for Gong Ya Demon Marshal, she merely nced at it from a distance, only to feel a stabbing pain in her eyes, almost drawing blood, and she quickly lowered her head! ¡°Demon Monarch¡ That shadow, trapped within the painting, must be a terrifying entity¡¡± She transmitted her fears with trepidation! As a Demon Marshal herself, she knew far more about such terrifying beings! There was an old prophecy: ¡°The Immortal King should not be looked upon!¡± Gazing directly at an Immortal King would often lead to all manner of weird and terrible oues, with many people dying unexpectedly. Xinning also nced at it, murmuring, ¡°Could it be that the painting holds a clone of an Immortal King? That¡¯s too terrifying¡¡± The thought was unimaginable. The Immortal King was a truly supreme being in heaven and earth. Even over tens of thousands of years, one might scarcely emerge. The Immortal King was synonymous with invincibility. And now, a clone of an Immortal King was trapped within a painting¡ If this news spread, the entire Immortal Domain would be thrown into turmoil! Li Fan, upon looking at his own painting, couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly displeased! Who was this,cking any public decency, doodling on his painting? It was simply too much,cking any manners at all! Moreover, this figure, though indistinct, was vaguely discernible as a male; painting an immortal fairy or such, one could call it an ascension by daylight, giving it some appeal¡ but now, it was truly ugly! ¡°Master, what should we do about this¡¡± Dugu Yuqing was somewhat uneasy. Although Li Fan was displeased, he did not me Dugu Yuqing and the others, saying indifferently: ¡°No matter, it¡¯s nothing serious, bring me ink and a brush.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. Zi Ling immediately went to the study to fetch the ink and brush. All eyes were on Li Fan. With a sweeping stroke of his brush, soaked in ink, Li Fan crossed over the painting in a swift move! As he made this stroke, everyone felt a shudder in their souls, as if some unspeakable existence was fading away, with the Dao thundering andws intertwining! And with Li Fan¡¯s stroke, the figure within this Great Sun Taoist Map¡ was erased by him! In an instant, everyone was stunned! Deathly silence descended, absolute silence! Chapter 149 - 137 Senluo Immortal Monarch’s Edicti Chapter 149: Chapter 137 Senluo Immortal Monarch¡¯s Edicti Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others, upon seeing this, were instantly stunned, looking at the scene before them in disbelief! As if they had seen a ghost! How could this be possible? One must know, the entity within the painting¡ was a living being of terror, wasn¡¯t it? Even though it was just a clone, it was still a clone of the Immortal King, possessing an invincible might unmatched in the heavens and the earth¡ But now, it was erased with a single stroke of the brush? How could this be possible! ¡°Gone¡ It¡¯s gone? The being inside has just vanished like that?¡± Saint Lord Lingchao was utterly shocked. ¡°Incredible, Senior Li¡¯s brush stroke¡ directly caused this avatar topletely disappear from this world¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord was also taken aback, the scene was simply too unbelievable¡ ¡°Master, a single stroke to annihte the clone of the Immortal King, and the opponent didn¡¯t even cause a ripple?¡± Dugu Yuqing and Lu Rang exchanged shocked nces. They knew very well how terrifying that avatar was. And Gong Ya Demon Marshal, upon witnessing this scene, almost fainted. For her, the impact was too strong, making her feel like she was seeing illusions, not reality¡ That was the Immortal King, and yet it was annihted just like that¡ ¡°Could it be that I still underestimated this senior¡¯s strength¡ This is too terrifying, why is he secluded here, what is he really after?¡± Xinning murmured to herself, her ¡°young¡± mind experiencing intense shock! An avatar of the Immortal King had been erased by Li Fan with a single stroke of the brush¡ But Li Fan appeared very calm, smiling and saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t this better?¡± He looked at Zi Ling with a smile, ¡°Have you learned? If you put your heart into it, nobody can spoil your painting.¡± ¡°As long as you have a clear understanding of your own painting, and you can control every stroke, then you can restore your painting anytime, anywhere.¡± Hearing this, Zi Ling was startled, then quickly nodded her head, understanding that her master was imparting profound truths to her. Could it be that one day she would be able to, like her master¡ erase such beings with a brush? She was ecstatic to the point of exploding! ¡°Master, also, there¡¯s something wrong with my grass¡¡± Seeing this, Lu Rang hurriedly took the grass from his back and said, ¡°During this outing, some ashes blew into it, and I feel that the grass is bing more and more peculiar¡¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Ashes? ¡°Brother Dugu, what¡¯s going on here? Why do I feel like this grass seems to have a life of its own, and there¡¯s also a sense that it¡¯s too fearsome to look at directly?¡± Nan Feng questioned Dugu Yuqing. Dugu Yuqing¡¯s expression wasplex as he replied, ¡°The ashes Brother Lu Rang mentioned¡ are likely the ashes of the Immortal King.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone present fell into dead silence once more. No, the ashes of the Immortal King?! Everyone was dizzy. What is going on? The Immortal King, isn¡¯t that a supreme being held in high esteem? Existing only in myths and legends, it¡¯s said that in the Immortal Domain, just mentioning the Immortal King¡¯s name would cause all sorts of anomalies to ur¡ respected by all. But now, Senior Li just took up his brush and casually erased an avatar of the Immortal King, and now, two of Senior Li¡¯s disciples, one got the Immortal King¡¯s Broken Sword, and the other nted a pot of grass that actually had the ashes of the Immortal King blow into it?? Has the Immortal King be asmon as cabbages¡ At the same time, everyone was looking incredulously at that pot of grass! A pot of grass that even the ashes of the Immortal King clung to, how terrifying would that be? Upon hearing this, Li Fan also furrowed his brow. This Lu Rang, truly peculiar! To let ashes blow into it? However, it seemed to be no big deal¡ he then said: ¡°Such a trivial matter, what is there to be so rmed about? Ashes and nt ash are no different, both are a type of fertilizer, and they are quite beneficial to the grass¡¡± Upon hearing this, Lu Rang was taken aback. Everyone else was dumbfounded, questioning if they had heard wrong¡ No different from nt ash? Fertilizer?? I he ashes of an Immortal King, in Senior Li¡¯s eyes, were apparently so insignificant¡ This level¡ This height¡ Everyone felt as if their worldview was somewhat¡ copsing at that moment! Meanwhile. Within the endless Void Ocean of the Lower World. A terrifying figure was wandering through the void, a single step covering ten thousand li, a single thought revealing the urrences within countless sea domains. But suddenly, the figure came to a halt, his eyes bursting with terrifying light! Like two mes in the dark night, wherever his gaze went, countless small worlds exploded instantly, all living beings perished, and worlds turned to ashes! In a fit of rage, the Star River trembled! ¡°Who dares to annihte my avatar?!¡± With a furious roar, streams of energy spilled from his body. Wherever this energy went, it immediately whipped up a great storm throughout the Void Ocean, birthing Apocalypse Vortexes that spanned millions of li! Thousands of Lower Worlds were instantly engulfed by the storm of the apocalypse due to his anger! ¡°To annihte my avatar, it must be an Immortal King acting¡ Above the Immortal Domain, is there another traitor like Wuji Xianwang?!¡± He growled sternly. Then, standing in the Void Sea Domain for a long while, he seemed to have lost his direction. The Lower World was boundless! The Void Ocean was infinite, and of the Lower Worlds that were recognized and controlled by the Immortal Domain, there were only a million, but there were many more, hidden in even more secretive sea domains, some of which even Immortal Kings had never set foot in Chapter 150 - 137 Senluo Immortal Monarch’s Edict_2 Chapter 150: Chapter 137 Senluo Immortal Monarch¡¯s Edict_2 Previously, he could have used that clone to track down his enemy, but now, he had even lost any sense of direction¡ ¡°This King shall return to the Immortal Domain¡¡± With a sudden wave of his hand, he tore the void apart. The next moment, he had already appeared above the deste Immortal Domain. He did not return to his own Immortal Pce, but instead took a step and arrived in front of a certain secluded Dao Pce. ¡°Immortal King Antuo hase to see an old friend!¡± He spoke. The Dao Pce trembled violently, but did not open. Instead, a grand illusion appeared above the Dao Pce, which was also a cold figure. ¡°Immortal King Antuo, what business brings you here?¡± The other party spoke indifferently. ¡°Immortal King Yn, I havee to request your assistance in deducing a chain of cause and effect!¡± Immortal King Antuo said. The opposite Immortal King Yn though, responded coldly: ¡°Hehe, you ask for my assistance? Does this matter involve other Immortal Kings? To involve realms of Immortal Kings is no small cost¡¡± Immortal King Antuo, word by word, ¡°No matter the cost!¡± Meanwhile, at this very moment. In the vast Void Ocean, a certain world shrouded in white. This world is very expansive, also bearing the ¡°Earth¡± character, but is many timesrger than a normal Earth Character Realm! Diming Realm! The Diming Realm is wide in territory, with mountains rising and falling, and the rich Immortal Spirit Qi has birthed countless strong beings. Heavenly Immortals abound, and there are many Golden Immortals! In the Central Province of the Diming Realm, there lies a magnificent pce. This ce is the Imperial Pce of one of the Golden Immortal-level Imperial Dynasties in the Diming Realm, the Xuanming Dynasty. At this moment, Emperor Zhao Chenxing of the Xuanming Dynasty is hurrying to a certain grand hall. Along the way, he passes through threeyers of barriers before finally arriving in front of that pce. Senluo Pce. This pce appeared more majestic than any other within the dynasty! Yet, its existence was undetectable from the outside world, concealed by powerful beings using secret methods. Only Zhao Chenxing, who knew the secrets, could find it. Zhao Chenxing stepped up to the grand hall and solemnly said: ¡°Your subordinate Zhao Chenxing hase to pay his respects!¡± ¡°Enter.¡± A detached voice sounded from within the hall. Zhao Chenxing then entered. Inside the grand hall, a group of elders were already seated! Each one¡¯s presence was incredibly powerful! The weakest among them were all Golden Immortals! Seated at the highest ce was an elder with a celestial bearing, gently waving a yellowed fan in his hand. This person was Lin Wenshi, the master of the Senluo Holy Sect¡¯s branch in the Diming Realm! The Senluo Holy Sect harbored great ambitions for the Lower World and had long controlled this realm in the shadows! However, the Diming Realm is a medium world within the ¡°Earth Character Realms,¡± with too ancient powers and has produced many who have entered the Immortal Domain¡ Even some from the Diming Realm who once entered the Immortal Domain have now attained significant status there! To act against the Diming Realm might alert the Immortal Domain. And before their ns came to fruition, the Senluo Holy Sect did not wish to stir the Immortal Domain. Thus, they hid within the Xuanming Dynasty! Lin Wenshi nced at Zhao Chenxing and spoke indifferently: ¡°A few days ago, all the members of the Earth Spirit Sub-branch, their Soul Lamps extinguished.¡± ¡°Even the Sect Gate elder Song Chengzhou, whom we had sent to reinforce them, is dead.¡± Hearing this, Zhao Chenxing was immediately shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief. The entire Earth Spirit Sub-branch annihted? And even Song Chengzhou is dead? Heavens, what has happened! ¡°ording to investigations, the hundreds of Lower Worlds originally controlled by the Earth Spirit Sub-branch have fused together, but they are not under our control.¡± Lin Wenshi continued softly. Zhao Chenxing was shocked at heart. Could it be that someone actually dared to oppose the Senluo Pce? With respect, he spoke, ¡°What can this subordinate do?¡± In the outside world, he was the high and mighty Emperor of the Xuanming Dynasty, a Golden Immortal who traversed thends and was illustrious throughout the entire Diming Realm. But here, he was bowing and scraping! He understood deeply that any of these individuals before him could crush him with ease, and the powers behind them were entities that his Xuanming Dynasty could only look up to! Lin Wenshi enunciated each word, ¡°Previously, the Earth Spirit Sub-branch reported that among the small worlds under their control, there exists a Forbidden Artifact. Therefore, our pce sent Elder Song to go there.¡± ¡°Now, I want you to spread this news throughout the entire Diming Realm immediately!¡± ¡°I believe the temptation of the Forbidden Artifact will unite the powers of the Diming Realm to attack that world¡¡± Upon hearing this, Zhao Chenxing was struck with realization. Aplex look shed in his eyes; he understood the old man¡¯s intention. Clearly, the death of Elder Song Chengzhou and the annihtion of the Earth Spirit Sub-branch made the Senluo Pce wary, so by releasing this news, they intended to use the countless powers and Sect Gates of the Diming Realm to probe! But he said nothing, respectfully responding, ¡°This subordinate obeys!¡± Afterward, he departed. The many elders in the great hall also dispersed one after another. ¡°Master, why go through such aplicated process? We should just send someone to annihte that entire world directly,¡± One elder who had stayed behind, asked with iprehension. In Lin Wenshi¡¯s aged eyes, however, there was a hint of deep wariness as he spoke, ¡°Do you know what recently happened in the Immortal Domain?¡± The elder shook his head, ¡°This subordinate does not know.¡± ¡°Zhan Li from the First Heavenly Realm actually achieved Immortality through sheer will, ascended to the Immortal Domain, battled with the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, and the conclusion was that the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch perished¡¡± At these words, the elder drew in a sharp breath, ¡°How is that possible!¡± Lin Wenshi also sighed, ¡°No one could have imagined it, but it has happened.¡± ¡°An Immortal has fallen¡ Blood rains down upon the Immortal Domain; when has such an event urred in countless epochs? Moreover, the one who died is a mighty being like the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch¡¡± The elder was silent for a very long time before speaking, ¡°What does this have to do with the new major world that the Earth Spirit Sub-branch is trying to integrate with?¡± Lin Wenshi replied, ¡°Of course, it is rted because the current center of that major world is originally known as¡ the Xuantian Realm!¡± The Xuantian Realm! The elder¡¯s pupils suddenly contracted! ¡°Could it be, the legends are true? The First Heavenly Realm was shattered into countless smaller realms?¡± He muttered. ¡°Our sub-branch just had a disaster, and the remnants from the First Heavenly Realm have ascended to the Immortal Domain; this is too much of a coincidence, so we must be cautious¡¡± Lin Wenshi spoke, ¡°Be aware that now, almost every great power in the Immortal Domain has begun searching the Lower World to find the reason that will could certify as Immortal¡¡± The elder couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Does the Immortal Monarch know of the events here?¡± Lin Wenshi nodded deeply, ¡°The Immortal Monarch believes it very likely harbors great horror and may also contain an unparalleled opportunity. Hence, he ordered us to investigate cautiously and report back at any time¡¡± ¡°This is an Edict from the Immortal Monarch!¡± Upon hearing this, the elder understood it all! In the face of such a situation, no amount of caution is too much! Be aware that this involves the First Heavenly Realm and touches upon the terrifying secret that could make will be Immortal¡ ¡°The subordinate understands. I will spare no effort to do this!¡± He spoke immediately and turned to leave! Not long afterward, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the Diming Realm. In a world not too far from the Diming Realm, there lies a Forbidden Artifact! Upon the release of this news, the entire Diming Realm was immediately abuzz! Chapter 151 - 138: Boundary War_1 Chapter 151: Chapter 138: Boundary War_1 ¡°What? A mere Mysterious Character Realm might contain a Forbidden Artifact? Is that true or just a rumor?¡± ¡°The source of the information? I feel it¡¯s all hearsay!¡± ¡°If there really is a Forbidden Artifact, then it indeed would be an enormous opportunity!¡± All major powers of the Diming Realm were paying attention to this news. However, most people were skeptical. ¡°It¡¯s true. The Guantian Sect discovered it. In the Void Sea Domain, ten thousand li away, there was an Apocalypse Vortex a while ago. Bizarrely, that Apocalypse Vortex didn¡¯t cause any catastrophic disasters. Instead, it led to the merger and formation of a newrge world!¡± Soon, another message spread. ¡°ording to predictions, only a Forbidden Artifact could protect that small world from invasions!¡± Once this statement was made, many forces were unable to sit still. As an ancient sect of the Diming Realm, specializing in the study of the Void Sea Domain and almost entirely aloof from worldly disputes, the Guantian Sect enjoyed an extremely high status in the Diming Realm. The news released by this sect couldn¡¯t be false! ¡°Regardless, the formation of a newrge world is worth exploring!¡± In an ancient Golden Immortal-level sect, an old Sect Master murmured softly, ¡°The Diming Realm is crowded enough already. A newrge world would be convenient for colonization!¡± ¡°Summon all the Heavenly Immortals!¡± In an imperial dynasty, an imposing Emperor spoke, ¡°I will lead you to conquer this piece of the Void Sea Domain and establish an immortal empire!¡± ¡°A Forbidden Artifact? Heh, worth going into battle for!¡± Within a bone-infested swamp, a Devil formed by Yin Qi spoke softly. With a wave of his hand, a vast army of skeletons rose behind him! Soon, voices from all the major powers indicating their willingness to go were heard. Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Chenxing, the Emperor of the Xuanming Dynasty, issued a call to action: ¡°The united army of the Diming Realm will conquer this newrge world, allocate its resources, and handle the Forbidden Artifact. Whoever gets it first will discuss its distributionter!¡± Once this statement was made, it got the support of many great powers. ¡°Heh, for a mere new world, is such fanfare necessary? Our Xuanyuan Family will set off first!¡± However, some powerful forces didn¡¯t give face to the Xuanming Dynasty and moved on their own. They dispatched Void Sea Battleships the same day, crossing the realm barrier towards the coordinates of the newrge world! Heavenly Realm. Recently, Xuan Tianzhou has been bustling with activity. The top figures from all the major alliances, each leading their elite forces, arrived here. ¡°The Earth Spirit Alliance presents itself to serve the Xuantian Alliance!¡± ¡°The Earth Wind Alliance, from today onwards, will honor themands of Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, our Alliance Leaders!¡± ¡°The Earth Element Alliance reports for duty!¡± All the major alliances came! For, when Dugu Yuqing left Huangtian State, those who had received the legacy of the Immortal Dao Pce followed themands of the Xuantian Alliance. As a result, they all came. ¡°So many people¡¡± In Taiyan Holy Land, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were somewhat surprised to see the top individuals from all forces arriving. Not long ago, the major alliances came to snatch Xuan Tianzhou. Now, their attitudes had drastically changed! Toe and obey orders! ¡°All of this is due to Senior Li¡¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord remarked with emotion, saying: ¡°The Lonely Prince said that individuals from all the major forces have received immortal legacies, and those legacies are undoubtedly bestowed by Senior Li!¡± ¡°Now, Senior Li has called them here. Is he intending to form a¡ heavenly army?¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s expression became solemn! ¡°It should be so, Senior Li is the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. Clearly, he intends to revive the prestige of the First Heavenly Realm. And we, together with the individuals from all major alliances, are the foundation of this heavenly army¡¡± Dugu Chenlu murmured to himself! ¡°In a trance, I seem to have seen Senior Li¡¯s grand blueprint¡¡± Everyone was filled with awe! ¡°From today onward, you may all dwell in Xuan Tianzhou to cultivate, jointly serving the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± Fire Spirit, bearing the presence of a queen, stepped forward to address the major alliances! ¡°Yes, sir!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Came the collective response from all major alliances. Time flew by. In the following period, individuals from all the major alliances rapidly elerated their cultivation! Now, with the merger of the new world, Xuan Tianzhou, where the World Tree had rooted itself, was rich in spiritual energy. Immortal Spirit Qi had emerged, making it exceptionally conducive for cultivation. Among the major alliances, those 300 who had received the immortal legacies were gathered by Fire Spirit to form a ¡°Hall of Celestial Generals¡±! ¡°The vice-leader of the Hall of Celestial Generals, Yue Poshan, has broken through to the ninth level of the Golden Immortal and is about to step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!¡± ¡°The prodigious Qing Lan, turned immortal overnight, is approaching the True Immortal Realm!¡± ¡°Xia Yao is not far behind, also on the verge of bing a True Immortal!¡± With rapid progress! Yuanyang Holy Lord, Dugu Chenlu, and the rest were led by Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning to enter the small mountain vige once more for cultivation. Here, their progress was as fast as a thousand li in a day! ¡°Brother Dugu, your sword intent is so terrifying. Have you entered the Golden Immortal Realm?¡± Everyone was astonished. Dugu Chenlu was exceedingly strong and became Xuantian State¡¯s first native Golden Immortal! ¡°To my shame, Senior Li¡¯s realm is too high for me to peer into, so recently I have instead been contemting my son Yuqing¡¯s Sword Dao cultivation¡¡± Dugu Chenlu spoke with a sigh! ¡°This old monk is only one step away from the Golden Immortal Realm and has gained much insight thanks to my temple¡¯s Qing Chen¡¡± Saint Teacher Kongming also spoke up! Among them, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were growing the fastest. After all, their fortunes were too great. From time to time, they could go to the small courtyard to drink tea and listen to Li Fan discuss the Dao. ¡°Both Alliance Leaders have already stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm and, moreover, have a far more solid foundation than us!¡± Everyone looked at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning filled with both envy and emotion! Soon, half a month passed. ¡°Report?? ¡± Today, an urgent message suddenly arrived: ¡°Reporting to both Alliance Leaders, a fleet has been discovered in the Void Sea Domain, approaching our Heavenly Realm!¡± Suddenly, Fire Spirit and the others were startled. ¡°Send orders, gather manpower, and assemble at Taiyan Holy Land!¡± Fire Spirit issued themand! Not long after, the forces of the Hall of Celestial Generals, as well as people like the Yuanyang Holy Lord, all gathered. ¡°Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I have already sent envoys to inquire about the other party¡¯s intentions, but they were directly crippled by the other side. The invaders dered that we should surrender immediately and hand over the entire world!¡± Saint Lord Lingchao spoke gravely, ¡°The other party is likely from another major world, capable of traversing the Void Sea Domain. They are not simple!¡± Hearing this, everyone present was extremely angry! ¡°Who do they think they are?!¡± Fire Spirit angrily said, ¡°Elder Yue, bring people and follow me!¡± Yue Poshan immediately stood up and said, ¡°Yes!¡± Before long, Fire Spirit and the others had already appeared outside the domain barrier. Here, they saw hundreds of immense warships in the Void Sea Domain ahead of them! Those warships could withstand the impact of the void ripples! ¡°Who goes there, what business do you have with our Heavenly Realm?!¡± Yue Poshan stepped forward and called out! ¡°Heh, Heavenly Realm?¡± On the leading Void Sea Battleship of that fleet, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back and sneered, ¡°A bunch of ants also dare to use such a realm name?¡± ¡°Submit immediately, offer up all your resources, and my Xuanyuan Family will spare you from death. Otherwise¡ª¡± ¡°Your realm will be annihted!¡± He was domineering! ¡°Do you think the Heavenly Realm has no one who can stand up to you, that you can manipte it at will?¡± Fire Spirit stepped forward and shouted angrily. ¡°Heavenly Realm? As I said, this is just an ant realm. To us from the Diming Realm, you¡¯re not even worth the sand by the roadside!¡± He indifferently continued, ¡°Since you insist on being stubborn, then just die With a wave of his hand, the powerful Immortal Spirit Force swept towards Fire Spirit and everyone else! He intended to annihte everyone with a single gesture! Fire Spirit and the others changed color, angry beyond measure¡ªthis was too much of a bullying! ¡°How dare you!¡± Yue Poshan took a step forward and threw out a punch, instantly causing the void to explode, dissipating the opponent¡¯s Immortal Spirit Forcepletely! ¡°What? Such a powerful Golden Immortal?!¡± The middle-aged man from the Xuanyuan Family was taken aback. As he was shocked, Fire Spirit had already ordered, ¡°Kill!¡± The people of the Heavenly Realm immediately charged into battle! A grand battle erupted in the Void Sea Domain. After a long time had passed. Bodies floated in the Void Sea Domain; without the protection of the domain barrier, they quickly decayed into ashes. ¡°Annihted just like that. With such strength, they also dared to seek death in our Heavenly Realm?¡± Everyone sneered. In this war, the Heavenly Realm had a great victory! ¡°The opponent was strong, and what arrived was only the vanguard. We still need to be cautious!¡± Yue Poshan then spoke seriously! The middle-aged man from the Xuanyuan Family had just fought a battle with him, and if Fire Spirit hadn¡¯t acted promptly, it might still be hard to determine the victor! Fire Spirit took a deep breath and said, ¡°Send out the orders, the Heavenly Realm¡ must get ready for the domain war!¡± ¡°The opponent, the Diming Realm!¡± Chapter 152 - 139 Rapid Progress 1 Chapter 152: Chapter 139 Rapid Progress 1 Diming Realm. The news of the Xuanyuan Family¡¯s total annihtion spread quickly! Instantly, the many great forces of the Diming Realm were shocked. ¡°What, the entire Xuanyuan Family has been wiped out?¡± ¡°The head of the Xuanyuan Family, I remember he¡¯s already reached the Eightfold Golden Immortal, hasn¡¯t he? To kill him¡ The natives of this new world must be strong!¡± ¡°The Xuanyuan Family is a precedent. Acting rashly is risky! Perhaps, forming a coalition is indeed the wisest choice!¡± For a time, the many forces of the Diming Realm reached a consensus because of this! The powers that had previously wanted to act alone all abandoned the idea and joined the coalition advocated by the Xuanming Dynasty! Xuanming Dynasty, the imperial capital. ¡°Patriarch of the Wang Family, a Golden Immortal-level family, has arrived!¡± ¡°Sect Master of the Jin Guang Sect, a Golden Immortal-level sect gate, has arrived!¡± ¡°The Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty has arrived!¡± All the major powers had gathered! No less than dozens of Golden Immortal-level powers, emperors, sect masters, family heads abounded! There were nearly a hundred Golden Immortal-level individuals! This was the foundation of the Diming Realm coalition forces! In the Lower Worlds, although the Diming Realm is in the Earth Character Realm, it is considered a medium world. ¡°Xuanning Emperor, we can set out now!¡± The Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty spoke out, already impatient. ¡°All major powers have arrived, no need to wait any longer!¡± The Sect Master of Jin Guang Sect also spoke up. The Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenxing immediately stood up and said, ¡°Gather the Void Sea Battleships, the coalition sets out!¡± At once, countless Void Sea Battleships from the many great forces of the Diming Realm took to the skies! At a nce, they were dense and numerous, with nearly ten thousand ships! Nearly ten thousand Void Sea Battleships advanced from within the sea region of the Diming Realm towards a certain direction! Meanwhile, as the coalition forces of the Diming Realm began to move, within the imperial pce of the Xuanming Dynasty in the Diming Realm, a grand hall suddenly materialized. Senluo Branch Hall! Lin Wenshi, the master of the branch hall, walked out from within, followed by eight elders with extremely terrifying auras! ¡°The cannon fodder has moved out, we should follow, and observe in secret just how deep and shallow that new great world really is¡¡± Lin Wenshi stepped out, and with a single step, he and his group vanished! At this moment. Heavenly Realm. Taiyan Holy Land. People from all the major alliances had gathered. The people from Hall of Celestial Generals also concentrated together. ¡°We know nothing about the Diming Realm.¡± ¡°But judging from their vanguard troops, this realm is very strong. We must not take them lightly!¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord opened his mouth and said, ¡°I propose that we all mobilize and meet the enemy outside our domain!¡± Everyone nodded in agreement! ¡°The survival of the entire Heavenly Realm is at stake; we must give it our all!¡± ¡°This is also a test; it¡¯s time to assess our strength!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s fight!¡± In the Hall of Celestial Generals, many people also spoke up. Having received the legacy of the Immortal, and with the cultivation of this period, everyone felt a significant improvement and needed a battle to test and temper themselves. ¡°Moreover, with such a major event, I think we should report to Senior Li¡¡± Dugu Chenlu then spoke out. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning also nodded and said, ¡°We will go to see Senior Li afterwards!¡± The small mountain vige. Within a small courtyard. Some time passed, and Li Fan¡¯s group of disciples had made new progress. ¡°A sword to open heaven, a sword to open heaven!¡± Dugu Yuqing held the Feather Brush, murmuring to himself. He was experiencing,bining the Heaven Opening Sword once demonstrated by Li Fan, and the feeling when holding the Broken Sword of Wuji Immortal King in the Immortal Dao Pce! A sense of invincible sword intent sprang forth within him! With one stroke, he drew! As the brush passed, the character ¡°one¡± on the Xuan paper was like an iron hook on silver, drawn with precision! Just at this moment, the Limitless Broken Sword hanging at his waist sounded softly! His entire aura burst forth suddenly! ¡°Golden Immortal?!¡± For a moment, many disciples were surprised as they looked at him! Dugu Yuqing¡ had stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm! ¡°Master arranged for Dugu to go out this time; the harvest is indeed significant. In his sword intent, there is already a vague form of Teacher¡¯s Heaven Opening Sword¡¡± Qing Chen couldn¡¯t help but speak while sweeping the floor. And next to him, Nan Feng seemed to be inspired by Dugu Yuqing¡¯s sword intent just now, and her musical notes stirred! Within the notes, an unparalleled sword intent evolved. This was exactly the sword intent Dugu Yuqing disyed moments ago! As her music ended, it was as if a divine sword had sounded, and everyone present could barely tell the difference from Dugu Yuqing¡¯s sword intent from earlier! ¡°She perfectly recreated the sword intent just now¡ Sister NanFeng¡¯s music is too terrifying,¡± someone said. As Nan Feng finished her piece, everyone was astonished. Moreover, she herself had stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm days earlier, bing the first among the disciples to reach it! ¡°With one stroke, able to erase an Immortal existence, to reach this step, one must understand one¡¯s own world clearly¡¡± Zi Ling was painting, pondering the day Li Fan, with one stroke, erased the Immortal King¡ After a long time, she began to paint! A vivid scene appeared immediately, the same red sun, but today, the sun she painted seemed to have its own life, illuminating a world! ¡°Senior Sister Zi Ling, with her painting skills, has also stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm¡¡± Everyone eximed. On the other hand, Long Zixuan and Qing Chen showed little change. But one day, when the carps in the pond moved, Long Zixuan¡¯s nine golden, wless Dragon Souls thundered, their might overwhelming¡ almost only Nan Feng¡¯s music could suppress him! Qing Chen was unassuming, but every sweep of his broom carried an essence, and he seemed unfathomable¡ Only Lu Rang remained at the Xuanxian Realm, foolishly tending to his grass every day with extreme obsession! However, no one dared to underestimate him. On the contrary, the pot of grass he was cultivating now made everyone wary! After all, that was grass nourished by the Immortal King¡¯s ashes¡ ¡°Could this guy really grow an Immortal King? That would be terrifying¡¡± Gong Ya looked at Lu Rang, and whispered to herself. She held a cup of tea in her hands, and stepped forward respectfully to pour it for Li Fan. Li Fan was teaching Xinning how to read poetry and couldn¡¯t help but pause slightly, ¡°Gong Ya, do you understand the true meaning of tea?¡± Gong Ya was taken aback but then shook her head and said, ¡°Gong Ya does not know.¡± In the past few days, following Li Fan, she learned how to brew and prepare tea. She faintly sensed that there was a real meaning in it but hadn¡¯t yet grasped it clearly. ¡°Common folks brewing tea often adhere to all sorts of unnecessary formalities, but the process is actually very simple.¡± ¡°Brewing tea, in the end, is nothing but boiling water bringing out the fragrance of the tea leaves. Therefore, brewing tea simply requires distinguishing the quality of the leaves, selecting the appropriate water temperature, and steeping for enough time; it¡¯s really that simple.¡± Upon hearing this, a sh of inspiration struck Gong Ya. ¡°Boiling water, bringing out the fragrance of tea leaves¡¡± She muttered to herself. Her cultivation technique suddenly began to circte within her. ¡°In the realm of the Great Luo Golden Demon, from the first heaven to the ninth, I have always cultivated the Great Luo demonic qi. Now, the Great Luo demonic qi within me is in a very abundant state¡ The next step is to nourish a strand of mixed yuan demonic qi from the rich Great Luo demonic qi¡¡± ¡°Only by aplishing this can one be Immortal, a certified Demon Monarch!¡± ¡°Is the master hinting that 1 need to let all the Great Luo demonic qi be ¡®brewed¡¯ like the tea leaves?¡± With this sudden understanding, the demonic qi within her was slowly undergoing some kind of change! ¡°Gong Ya understands, thank you for the guidance, Master!¡± She gratefully spoke to Li Fan. ¡°Gong Ya has improved, yay¡¡± Xinning also noticed something, her eyes rolling with wonder. ¡°Mu Qianning and others havee to pay respects to Senior Li.¡± Outside, the voices of Mu Qianning and others reached them. ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Li Fan said, and Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit entered. Coming inside, they felt the aura of Li Fan¡¯s many disciples and were all astounded. ¡°Senior Li¡¯s disciples seem to have made remarkable progress¡¡± the Yuanyang Holy Lord muttered to herself. ¡°It seems not long before Senior Li¡¯s disciples will emerge in the heavenly conquests¡¡± Dugu Chenlu mused. ¡°Why have youe? Is your development still going smoothly?¡± Li Fan smiled as he looked towards Mu Qianning and the others. Mu Qianning said, ¡°Reporting to Senior, since thest time you sent Young Master Lu Rang and Young Master Dugu Yuqing to assist us, our situation has greatly improved, and almost all the other alliances¡ have almost joined us!¡± Li Fan was quite delighted to hear this. This meant that the business of Mu Qianning and others had expanded further. The better their business did, the better it was for him! After all, Li Fan was still concerned about finding disciples. This time, Lu Rang the big mouth followed them out, but he didn¡¯t kidnap anyone to bring back. ¡°Senior, however, recently someone hase sailing from the Void Sea Domain, attempting to dominate the Heavenly Realm¡¡± Fire Spirit continued, ¡°The first probe by the opposition has been suppressed by us, but we anticipate that they willunch an even fiercer offensive!¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan was also taken aback. Coming sailing from the Void Sea Domain¡ The Void Sea Domain, to him, was an utterly untouchable concept¡ Is the world of cultivators this vast and magnificent? To run a business that spans across worlds. For someone like himself, a mortal who knows nothing, if he didn¡¯t excel in calligraphy and painting, he wouldn¡¯t even qualify to hear of such matters¡ And now that Mu Qianning and the others hade to visit, it was clear that they were seeking help again. Those who were stealing business from other worlds surely would not pass up an opportunity topetevishly in the art of calligraphy and painting. ¡°I understand,¡± Li Fan spoke, his gaze shifting towards Zi Ling beside him, ¡°Ling¡¯er, this time, you go?¡± Among his disciples who could help, since Dugu Yuqing who studied calligraphy had already gone once before, it was time for Zi Ling, who studied painting, to go and see for herself¡ Upon hearing this, Zi Ling beside him was suddenly stunned. ¡°Alt¡ me, me?¡± She was somewhat surprised. Li Fan said, ¡°Mhm, you go it¡¯s not important whether you win or lose, the main point is that this is also an opportunity for you to test yourself.¡± Zi Ling, on hearing this, immediately understood her master was testing her! ¡°Alright, Zi Ling obeys¡ª¡± She stood up, ¡°But Master, your brush, I still can¡¯t fully wield it¡¡± Even though she had already stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm, she was still far from being able to handle Li Fan¡¯s paintbrush. If a major war really broke out in the external world, she feared her spiritual power wouldn¡¯t hold up. Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately turned his attention to the flock of chickens beside him. ¡°Then your master will make another one for you After saying this, he stood up and once again began plucking feathers from the chickens! The earth chickens, seeing Li Fan approach, all crouched on the ground very submissively, not daring to move. Soon enough, he had plucked a clump of feathers and made a brush, handing it to Zi Ling, ¡°Try this one.¡± Zi Ling immediately took it, and upon holding it, she felt a surge of boundless and scorching energy! She felt¡ as if she was holding a sun! ¡°Senior Sister Zi Ling¡ the ¡®Feather Brush¡¯ made by Master is extremely powerful¡¡± Dugu Yuqing spoke up, ¡°Congrattions.¡± On hearing this, Zi Ling frantically retorted, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare call mine a Feather Brush!¡± ¡°Mine¡ mine shall be called ¡®Phoenix Feather Pen¡¯!¡± Li Fan, aside, also spoke thoughtfully, ¡°Hmm¡ Phoenix Feather Pen sounds quite nice; let¡¯s call it the Phoenix Feather Pen.¡± Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuqing¡¯s face immediately turned green. Both were the same kind of brush, so why did his have to be called something as unsightly as a Feather Brush?! ¡°All¡ no way, I want to rename mine too, it shall be called¡ ¡®Phoenix Sky Brush¡¯!¡± He protested! Chapter 153 - 140: Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals? ! Chapter 153: Chapter 140: Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals? ! Outside the Heavenly Realm. In the Void Sea Domain. Multitudes of ck specks, like nkton floating on water, gathered in swarms. As the distance closed in, those ck specks grewrger, transforming into leaves, ne trees, and as they drew nearer, each Void Sea Battleship looked like a mountain! ¡°Heavens, is the Diming Realm really this powerful? So many Void Sea Battleships¡ There must be at least ten thousand, right?¡± ¡°Incredible, 1 can sense countless auras of Golden Immortals¡ Even though we¡¯re from the same Earth Character Realm, surely not even thebined forces of the original Earth Yuan Realm, Diling Realm, and Difeng Realm amount to half of the opposing side?¡± ¡°With such a formidable lineup, if it were the Heavenly Realm of the past, we really could surrender, but now, we too have the power to fight!¡± On the side of the Heavenly Realm, everyonemented as they watched the Diming Realm¡¯s approaching army. In terms of numbers, there was a significant disparity in strength between the two sides. The Diming Realm had an abundance of Void Sea Battleships, over ten thousand, but there were only a little over a thousand for the entire Heavenly Realm. Finally, the countless Diming Realm¡¯s Void Sea Battleships had arrayed themselves outside the Heavenly Realm¡¯s water territory, lined up in a single row! ¡°You ants of this realm, will you not swiftly surrender? Are you waiting here to seek death?¡± On the Void Sea Battleship of the Chen Imperial Dynasty, an Elder Sovereign spoke coldly, his powerful Golden Immortal-level cultivation bursting forth like a nket that covered the skies! On the side of the Heavenly Realm, Fire Spirit stepped forward, projecting the aura of a queen as she coldly said, ¡°This is the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°The Heavenly Realm has no ties with the Diming Realm, yet youe with great force, intending to invade. Do you really think the Heavenly Realm can be easily manipted?!¡± Hearing her challenging question, the people of the Diming Realmughed in disdain. ¡°Heh, Heavenly Realm? A bunch of ants indeed, presuming to use that name?¡± ¡°Fools, even we of the Diming Realm do not dare to use the ¡®Heaven¡¯ character!¡± ¡°Such an ant-like realm daring to call itself the Heavenly Realm; such audacity must be punished with death!¡± Golden Immortals began to speak, one after the other. They spoke as if they were high above all! At this moment, Zhao Chenxing of the Xuanming Dynasty also stepped forward and roared, ¡°You ants ahead, immediatelyy down your weapons and cripple your own cultivation, or do not me the coalition forces of the Diming Realm for embarking on a mass killing spree!¡± ¡°I will count down from three, and if you do not surrender, your realm will be utterly wiped out by our coalition forces!¡± He stared at Fire Spirit and the others, raising his hand. But Fire Spirit and herpanions merely awaited coldly. ¡°Three!¡± ¡°Two!¡± ¡°One!¡± Zhao Chenxing sharply swung his hand down andmanded, ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± In an instant, the great army of the Diming Realm charged forward! Immense Immortal Spirit Qi erupted chaotically. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Diming Realm¡¯s alliance, vast like a sea of smoke! Profound Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, they counted for nothing here; only Golden Immortal-level powerhouses could im a ce on this battlefield! Tens of thousands of warships surged forward like an overwhelming rush of sea waves! The Heavenly Realm¡¯s fleet of just over a thousand ships seemed pitifully isted and weak! Yet, not a single one turned back! Had this happened in the past, facing such circumstances, many would likely have retreated straight away or surrendered. Because the difference in power was indeed vast. But now, they knew that behind them stood the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, a being capable of issuing a Great Dao Decree. With such an existence at their back, what was there to fear? Without any concern for whaty behind, they were able to engage in the battle with full force! ¡°Meet the battle, kill¡ª¡± Fire Spirit also let out a fierce cry! Suddenly, over a thousand Heavenly Realm warships plunged into the oing tide of enemy ships! Violent fluctuations of battle erupted instantly, enveloping the outer Void Sea Domain of the Heavenly Realm! ¡°Boom¡ª¡± A Golden Immortal¡¯s Immortal Spirit Force burst forth like a tempest, sweeping downwards, a Heavenly Realm warship instantly vanished to nothing, and a dozen Profound Immortals were extinguished on the spot! ¡°No!¡± An old Heavenly Immortal from the Diming Realm, attacking furiously and facing Qing Lan of the Heavenly Realm, was pierced through by a horrific icicle with a casual flick of her finger, both body and soul annihted! ¡°Seeking death¡ª¡± In the Diming Realm, a Golden Immortalshed out in frenzy, but was restrained by a dozen or so Heavenly Immortals from his own realm! They were actually capable of holding back a Golden Immortal with just the stance of Heavenly Immortals! The enraged Golden Immortal sensed that among those dozen or so Heavenly Immortals, only two or three were practicing extremely formidablews! The great battle had begun! The number of the Heavenly Realm¡¯s forces was much less than that of the Diming Realm, only about one-ninth of the enemy¡¯s size! After all, the Diming Realm was a medium Earth Character Realm, while the Heavenly Realm wasposed of many smaller worlds fused together. Although in terms of poption, they were not much fewer than the Diming Realm, the pinnacle of their war power was still far from being formed! Luckily, the three hundred or so people from the Hall of Celestial Generals disyed terrifying power! Several Heavenly Immortals, joining forces, were even capable of fighting against Golden Immortals! This was the terrifying aspect of the Immortal legacy! And at this moment, the utmost pinnacle of strength from both sides was engaged in fierce battle. ¡°How dare you!¡± Yue Poshan, being the Alliance Hierarch of the Earth Spirit Alliance and possessing strength within the Golden Immortal Realm, had be the only one among the many Golden Immortals to gain the Immortal legacy. He was now invincibly powerful, fighting against five on his own without falling into disadvantage! He drew a lot of fire. ¡°Unexpectedly, among these ants, there are a few significantly strong ones able to contend with the powerful from our realm.¡± In the Diming Realm, on top of the warships, the most powerful few had not yet made their move! The Old Emperor of Chen Imperial Dynasty, the Xuanning Emperor, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, and others.. Chapter 154 - 140: Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals? _2 Chapter 154: Chapter 140: Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals? _2 ¡°Heh heh, capture the king first in order to capture his men, everyone, perhaps we only need to capture those two women, and that should suffice.¡± At this time, the Patriarch of the Wang Family took a step forward, looking at Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, who were battling with the crowd! He waved his hand grandly! A terrifying storm immediately enveloped Fire Spirit! Striking from a distance, yet this kind of storm still caused many people along its path to hurriedly dodge! Too strong, this is the power of a Perfect Level Golden Immortal! Fire Spirit, who was engaged in battle, suddenly turned her head. She had been using her enemies to train herself. However, destructive power was now approaching, and her realm was insufficient to resist it! So, without any hesitation, she directly pulled a hairpin from her hair! With a wave of the hairpin! The void was annihted! Now that she had be a Heavenly Immortal, she could exert most of the hairpin¡¯s power! ¡°Boom ¡± With that stroke, hundreds of powerful beings from the Diming Realm were annihted, and at the same time, the terrifying strike from the Patriarch of the Wang Family was directly nullified! Everyone around was shocked! On the warship, the Patriarch of the Wang Family¡¯s pupils contracted as he said, ¡°This¡ could this be a Holy Artifact?¡± He was incredulous to the extreme! At the same time, his eyes zed with greedy desire, his figure disappearing from its original ce, lunging at Fire Spirit! He wanted to seize the hairpin. Others also made their move at the same time, including Perfect Level Golden Immortals. Sect leaders like those of the Jin Guang Sect, the masters of the Yin Yang Cave, all of them famous figures in the Diming Realm, now there were six or seven people, all making their move at Fire Spirit! But Fire Spirit was fearless, as if dancing in the void. The hairpin in her hand nearly blocked all the attacks! The heavens thundered, the earth split, and space trembled, their battle directly affecting the surrounding thousand li! Thismotion caused the surrounding battles to pause involuntarily! Everyone stopped and looked towards the central battlefield! Fire Spirit was facing off against seven! A Heavenly Immortal, resisting seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals! ¡°Inconceivable!¡± ¡°That¡¯s terrifying, our realm¡¯s seven strongest sect leaders are actually teaming up to attack a young woman?¡± ¡°Wrong, that hairpin in her hand¡ it¡¯s too horrific, even Golden Immortals dare not touch it, for fear of death!¡± Everyone was utterly astonished. ¡°She merely relies on thatbined strike to y!¡± The many Golden Immortals were also feeling the pressure; the Patriarch of the Wang Family suddenly spoke up! Seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals suddenly made their move together! Endless Immortal Spirit Force congregated, nearly forming a minor world-ending storm; within a thousand li, no one dared to approach! ¡°Boom boom ¡ª11 They bombed towards Fire Spirit! ¡°Then, let it end¡ª¡± But, Fire Spirit coldly spoke; at this instant, a wooden carving suddenly appeared in her hands! That wooden carving was a pce. ¡°Suppress!¡± Upon her light cry, the wooden carving rapidly expanded, dramatically erging, instantly bing like a boundless mountain, enveloping the seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals! Li Tian Divine Pce! Four massive characters, akin to anguage that could suppress the world! Once this pce appeared, the seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals¡¯ terrifying attacks instantly dissipated like mist! The other Golden Immortals felt an immense pressure, at this moment they were extremely frightened! ¡°No! What is this?!¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I resist¡ all my Immortal Spirit Force ispletely frozen!¡± ¡°No, this is a Forbidden Artifact¡ this is a Forbidden Artifact¡¡± For a moment, the seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals were all extremely rmed, shouting out urgently. They exerted all their strength but couldn¡¯t resist at all! ¡°No ¡± ¡°Save me¡¡± They cried out, but the Divine Pce continued its repression! ¡°Ah ¡± Crying out in misery, the next moment, they were all suppressed within the Li Tian Divine Pce! The seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals of the Diming Realm had disappeared from the scene. And the terrifyingly boundless Li Tian Divine Pce reverted back into a wooden carving, falling towards Fire Spirit. Fire Spirit was nowpletely drained of her Immortal Spirit Force; the Li Tian Divine Pce was even more dreadful than the hairpin, having drained all of her power. ¡ªThe hairpin was originally made from the scraps left over when Li Fan carved the Li Tian Divine Pce, and moreover, Senior Li had once blown a breath of Immortal Qi into the carving while making it! Therefore, the grade of this wooden carving is unimaginable! ¡°Now¡¯s our chance, kill her!¡± ¡°Kill her and snatch away this wood carving!¡± ¡°This is a Forbidden Artifact, and I am determined to obtain it!¡± Meanwhile, on a warship in the Diming Realm, figures like the Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty and the Sect Master of Jin Guang Sect had bloodshot eyes at this moment! This wooden Divine Pce was absolutely a true Forbidden Artifact, its grade beyondprehension. In the hands of a Heavenly Immortal, it could already casually repress a Perfect Level Golden Immortal, so what if it fell into their hands? Domination over the Myriad Realms would be within arm¡¯s reach! Hence, at this moment, they were all driven mad! Even the Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenxing himself took a sharp intake of breath¡ªhad Hall Master Lin Wen not lied? In this realm, there really was a Forbidden Artifact?! What a great opportunity! He too immediately followed suit, attacking Fire Spirit with the intent to kill! Just now, seven Perfect Level Golden Immortals had been repressed, and now, there were still a full five in the field! Five Perfect Level Golden Immortals, going all out, recklessly attempting to kill a junior, a Heavenly Immortal! And yet, at this moment, Fire Spirit was already drained of Spiritual Power! ¡°Protect the Alliance Hierarch!¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Yue Poshan, Yuanyang Holy Lord, and others roared in anger! But one figure was faster than all of them, and it was Mu Qianning! She appeared in front of Fire Spirit, with a hairpin identical in her hand, which she fiercely swiped A fearsome rift of true void appeared, annihting all traces of the great dao, emerging before the five Golden Immortals. Each of the Golden Immortals¡¯ pupils constricted, and despite their eager desire for the treasure, at this moment, they dared not confront its edge! They hurriedly retreated, narrowly avoiding this strike, but their faces were ashen! ¡°Another Holy Artifact?¡± They all looked at Mu Qianning in shock! This Heavenly Realm¡ was too terrifying, wasn¡¯t it? To actually have two Holy Artifacts, one Forbidden Artifact?! This time¡ it would be tough! Even for them, it might not be easy to achieve victory! ¡°What shall we do?¡± ¡°We¡ may not be able to seize the treasure!¡± Several spoke out! ¡°It seems that we only have to ask for our Chen Imperial Dynasty¡¯s Elder Ancestor toe down from the Immortal Domain!¡± At this moment, the Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty spoke, his old eyes reflecting a determined resolve! Upon hearing this, everyone was astounded! ¡ªEach of the ancient powers of the Diming Realm had some extraordinarily talented geniuses who entered the Immortal Domain! Among those individuals, some blended into the masses, but there were also some who soared to incredible heights, reaching terrifying levels of cultivation! ¡°Is it said that the Old Ancestor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty has be a powerful Immortal General in the Immortal Domain, an existence unrivaled beneath the Immortal Monarchs?¡± ¡°If the Chen Imperial Dynasty¡¯s Old Ancestor is called forth, who would dare to contend?¡± ¡°This attack on the Heavenly Realm has sparked suchmotion¡ Will it rm the Immortal Domain?¡± The rest of the Perfect Level Golden Immortals murmured among themselves! Their forces too had contacts with powerful beings in the Immortal Domain. But, it was difficult topete with the Chen Imperial Dynasty! The Old Emperor of the Chen Imperial Dynasty immediately stepped forward, ready to summon an ancestor from the Immortal Domain! But just at this moment, he suddenly let out a wretched scream: ¡°Ah¡ª¡± His entire body spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood and he fell to the ground, his body convulsing! ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Could it be that the summoning failed?¡± Everyone was shocked. But at that moment, a cold and majestic voice suddenly rang out: ¡°I am here, and yet you dare tomunicate with the Immortal Domain?!¡± Everyone turned and saw, within the void, suddenly appeared nine individuals! Those were nine elders, each emanating a terrifying aura, as if they stood high above all beings,manding only awe! Many powerful beings of the Heavenly Realm were greatly surprised upon seeing this! That aura¡ they were not unfamiliar with it! When the Four Great Alliances attacked Xuan Tianzhou, an edict from the Lord of the Heavenly Realm was issued, and an unparalleled amazing youngdy had also appeared, suppressing the Four Great Alliances¡ Jiang Xue! And now, the aura of these nine individuals¡ was at the same level as Jiang Xue¡¯s at that time! This meant¡ Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals!! Chapter 155 - 141: A Stroke that Can Kill a Million Soldiers 1 Chapter 155: Chapter 141: A Stroke that Can Kill a Million Soldiers 1 Nine figures emerged from the void. The aura of each was terrifyingly formidable. These were none other than the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals! For a moment, both the grand army of the Diming Realm and the people of the Heavenly Realm were shocked, watching these nine figures with utmost gravity! The Old Emperor of Chen Imperial Dynasty, a Perfect Level Golden Immortal, was now twitching, his eyes red with hatred to the extreme, pointing at the nine and saying: ¡°You¡¡± Lin Wenshi said indifferently: ¡°Ants dare to instruct us?¡± With a wave of his hand! Suddenly, the Old Emperor of Chen Imperial Dynasty let out a miserable scream and turned directly into a mist of blood! Everyone was shocked. This was the disparity! The gap between a Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal was like a chasm between heaven and earth. Even though the Old Emperor of Chen Imperial Dynasty had been at the Perfect Level realm for countless years, and had even touched the threshold of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. But, not being a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was nothing but an ant in front of one. Annihted with a mere gesture. ¡°Who else wishes to contact the Immortal Domain? Feel free to try again!¡± Lin Wenshi swept his indifferent gaze across the entire scene! They had remained hidden in the shadows before, but now they couldn¡¯t refrain from taking action. Firstly, because Holy Artifacts, and even Forbidden Artifacts, had appeared, which could make even Taiyi Golden Immortals envious! Secondly, the Old Emperor of Chen Imperial Dynasty was actually trying to contact the Immortal Domain, which ignited their murderous intent. The grand scheme of Senluo Immortal Monarch in the Lower World was of utmost importance, and it simply could not be revealed to anyone from the Immortal Domain! Otherwise, it would very likely be thwarted. They had hidden in the Diming Realm for so many years without revealing themselves, precisely because they feared startling the snake. Now that Forbidden Artifacts and others had emerged, letting the Immortal Domain know would probably cause upheaval. They must be suppressed. Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with fright and terror, daring not to make a move! And Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenxing now stepped forward and knelt respectfully, saying: ¡°Greetings, Hall Master Lin!¡± Seeing this, countless people in the Diming Realm were even more surprised! What¡¯s going on? ¡°Why is Xuanning Emperor bowing to this man?¡± ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s an ancestor of their Xuanming Dynasty?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± The various powers of the Diming Realm were perplexed. But Lin Wenshi had already spoken, saying: ¡°You did well this time, instigating the cannon fodder of the Diming Realm toe here, and you managed to flush out several treasures for me. I will reward youter.¡± Zhao Chenxing was immensely thankful, expressing boundless gratitude: ¡°Thank you, Hall Master, thank you!¡± Hearing the conversation between the two, the allied forces of the Diming Realm¡ were instantly in an uproar! ¡°What? We¡¯re just cannon fodder?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve been used?!¡± ¡°I understand now, these nine people¡ were using us, and Zhao Chenxing was simply their agent!¡± All at once, all the forces were extremely furious! ¡°A bunch of ants; being used is an honor for you.¡± Lin Wenshi uttered coldly, a trace of oppressive force casually released! Instantly, the angry major Sect Gates of the Diming Realm were silenced! Dare to be angry but not speak out! A joke, with Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals here, even if they were Golden Immortal-level powers, what of it? They¡¯re nothing inparison! Lin Wenshi then looked towards Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning. ¡°I must say, the ants of your realm have surprised me.¡± ¡°Hand over the Forbidden Artifact, and also, along with the three hundred people by your side, surrender all of you, and I will spare your lives!¡± He spoke from a position of superiority, as ifmanding them! Yet, the people of the Heavenly Realm were silent, with no one responding. ¡°No way!¡± Mu Qianning responded, clutching the hairpin in her hand, saying: ¡°No matter who you are or where youe from¡ this is not a ce where you can run wild!¡± Lin Wenshi, apanied by the other eight Taiyi Golden Immortals, moved forward, saying: ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± ¡°Do you really think that with a few treasures in hand, you can change anything?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability to unleash the full power of the Holy Artifacts, let alone the Forbidden Artifacts!¡± Lin Wenshi continued indifferently: ¡°It seems, it¡¯s time for you to see what it means to be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.¡± He lightly raised his hand! The terrifying aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal enveloped the spaces of the Void Sea Domain for ten thousand li! Very fearsome. Oppression permeated, thread by thread! It made one¡¯s soul tremble! For a moment, tens of thousands present, countless people couldn¡¯t help but kneel! Legions of Heavenly Immortals, Profound Immortals, and so on, of the Diming Realm¡ Even some Golden Immortals couldn¡¯t help but bend the knee! This was the horror of a Taiyi Golden Immortal! A single Taiyi Golden Immortal could ughter countless Lower Worlds! For even in the Earth Character Realm¡¯s mid-level worlds, a Golden Immortal was the upper limit, and the very nature of those realms made it impossible to cultivate a Taiyi Golden Immortal. A Taiyi Golden Immortal was, in essence, invincible. The people of the Heavenly Realm also felt an immense oppressive force! Many couldn¡¯t help but almost fall to the ground! ¡°We fight for the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, how can we kneel before an ant like you!¡± Dugu Chenlu bellowed furiously with eyes wide and filled with rage, soaring into the sky! He was ready for battle! In the ranks of the Heavenly Realm Golden Immortals, he was acknowledged as the mightiest! ¡°We shall not yield!¡± Yue Poshan also roared as he stood up! ¡°To fight for the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, we will never kneel!¡± Several others too stood firm, fearless of everything! ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Behind Lin Wenshi, an elder sneered dismissively, pointing a finger! ¡°Pfft pfft pfft In an instant, Yuanyang Holy Lord, Yue Poshan, Dugu Chenlu, and others, all spat blood at the same time, copsing on the deck of the warship, extremely weakened! ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your cultivation techniques, which hold some interest for us, this one finger would have ended you all!¡± The elder spoke coldly! They had been secretly observing and discovered something special about Yue Poshan and his group, so they decided to leave survivors to be tortured for their techniques to further their research! Seeing this scene, everyone in the Heavenly Realm almost lost all hope! How can we fight this? How do we resist? Even one of them is more than we can handle, let alone nine! Even Mu Qianning felt waves of helplessness! She had a Holy Artifact, even a Forbidden Artifact, but with Fire Spirit¡¯s Spiritual Power exhausted, and herself extremely fatigued, she was utterly unable to unleash their might. ¡°A bunch of ants, since you refuse to surrender, then I shall help myself to these Holy Artifacts and Forbidden Artifacts!¡± Lin Wenshi advanced coldly while also pondering to himself: ¡°The strangeness of this realm must be due to this Forbidden Artifact. Once I obtain this object, the Diming Realm and this so-called Heavenly Realm can be eradicated, continuing the n of merging the Myriad Realms under the Immortal Monarch??? ¡± He reached out to grab Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning! Terror unparalleled! No one could match him! Almost all were in despair! Fire Spirit suddenly lifted her eyes, gazing at a certain ce in the sky, and shouted: ¡°Ziling Maiden And there, in that spot of void, a beautiful young girl in purple appeared. She moved with the grace of a celestial being from the nine heavens, now holding a paintbrush enveloped in mes! She was painting! In her painting, the scene of the battlefield explicitly unfurled! The two armies confronted each other, with nearly ten thousand warships of the Diming Realm and several hundred thousand of the allied forces; under her brush, each was vividly detailed and brought to life! And in the painting, she was now depicting thest nine elders to appear! These nine elders had appeared at the end, and initially, Ziling hadn¡¯t noticed them, so she continued painting and slowing down her pace! But now, all nine elders had appeared in the painting! Each one looked as real as an actual person! ¡°The final stroke n Ziling spoke, holding the Phoenix Feather Pen in her hand as she brought up thest stroke of colorful ink In a sh, upon the rice paper, the painting waspleted! At that very moment, the rice paper suddenly merged with this piece of heaven and earth! Countless Great Dao Laws resounded thunderously! It was the interweaving of the tangible and intangible, the mixture of the real and the imaginary, the convergence of existence and nothingness¡ Below, the hundreds of thousands of Diming Realm¡¯s forces, seemed to be mere existences within a painting, as if they were being rapidly erased by an eraser; those hundreds of thousands vanished quickly¡ ¡°No ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°What¡¯s happening¡¡± Cries of shock, wails, and panic filled the air! But no one could reverse the fate of those disappearing from the scene! Even the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals were utterly terrified at this moment! Each one¡¯s face showed horror, as if they had seen a ghost! No can¡¯t move¡¡± how can this be possible¡ My cultivation seems to have disappeared, I ¡°That painting.Js it going to take us in?!¡± Is this¡ an Immortal Dao Map? Save me The group of Taiyi Golden Immortals at this moment resembled stray dogs, trying to flee. Their previous arrogance had vanishedpletely! However, they were unable to escape this space. One by one, the Taiyi Golden Immortals disappeared amidst their struggles! Even Lin Wenshi himself had his pupils dted, disbelievingly watching the scene before him, as his body gradually became ethereal. ¡°No, I don¡¯t believe it¡ How could a Painting Saint possibly exist in this realm? Impossible¡¡± His unwillingness reached its peak. As he roared in frustration, his entire being also disappeared instantly! In the blink of an eye. The Void Sea Domain was silent! The hundreds of thousands from the Diming Realm¡¯s massive army, along with the ten thousand warships, vanished without a trace, as if they never existed¡ So many Golden Immortal-level forces¡ So many Perfect Level Golden Immortals¡ And¡ The terrifyingly powerful Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals¡ Just like that, they were gone! And at that moment, Ziling lightly reached out to grasp the scroll. Within the painting, the hundreds of thousands of Xuanming Realm allied forces stood tall on the warships. And the nine haughty Taiyi Golden Immortals stood to the side, their expressions seemingly fierce and agonized¡ Each one was as lifelike as a real person. As if they were alive! Chapter 156 - 142: Life Alienation? ! Chapter 156: Chapter 142: Life Alienation? ! In the vast expanse of the Void Sea Domain, where cultivators swarmed like tides and warships crisscrossed the sky just moments before. But now, the hundreds of thousands of allied forces from the Diming Realm had suddenly vanished. Not a single one remained. Whether they were Profound Immortals or Heavenly Immortals. Or even Perfect Level Golden Immortals. Even the sudden emergence of the hidden hands behind the curtain, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals, disappeared in an instant. The entire Void Sea Domain now seemed so vast, so empty. Only the armies of the Heavenly Realm remained. At this moment, everyone from the Heavenly Realm was stunned, shocked. They all looked on, agape and speechless, at the purple-dressed young girl above! She moved gracefully, ethereal as a fairy, her purple gown billowing and lively in the air. With a pen in one hand, and a painting in the other. The pen was a Phoenix Feather Pen, emanating terrifying mes of energy; a mere swish synced with some ancient Dao. The painting depicted the Terrifying Daoist Painting, where the rules of reality and illusion intertwined, with true and false spaces ovepping; within a single piece of Xuan paper, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals, hundreds of Golden Immortals, and the hundreds of thousands from the Diming Realm¡¯s allied forces were vividly depicted. ¡°Heavens, what just happened? I feel like my soul is trembling, as if it touched upon some secret!¡± ¡°Too terrifying, that painting¡ that painting¡ it¡¯s like an endless ck hole!¡± ¡°Could it be, could it be that the hundreds of thousands of the army, and the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals, were all engulfed by that painting¡¡± The crowd spoke up, their eyes filled with disbelief. This scene had surpassed their understanding! ¡°Too terrifying, that brush, that painting¡ truly worthy of being Senior Li¡¯s disciple!¡± Saint Teacher Kongming spoke tremulously, unable to hold back his admiration! ¡°Brother Dugu was right, Senior Li¡¯s disciples are all destined to defy the heavens. Before, Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing startled the Heavenly Realm; now, Ziling Maiden has wiped out a million enemies with a single painting¡¡± Saint Lord Lingchao was full of emotion! ¡°Is this the Supreme Art of Painting? When the painting isplete, anything depicted in it gets absorbed by the painting¡ Eerie and mysterious¡ Senior Li, too terrifying.¡± Yuanyang Holy Lord muttered in shock! Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit, too, were extremely shocked at this moment. ¡°I never expected Maiden Ziling to be so formidable¡¡± Fire Spirit spoke up. Since the beginning, she knew this grand battle was nothing to fear, for if Senior Li had sent his disciples, then Ziling must be their trump card, and with her move, she believed everything would turn around. But she hadn¡¯t expected it to be such a total, such a direct turnaround. This method of annihting the enemy was too terrifying, too spine-chilling. ¡°I always knew, as long as Senior Li is here, no one can invade the Heavenly Realm!¡± Mu Qianning was excited to no end, her cheeks flushed as she said, ¡°I¡¯m so envious of Sister Ziling, to be able to learn such a powerful Dao¡¡± Even Ziling herself, now holding the scroll in her hand, was still somewhat dazed. ¡°Am I, am I that powerful??¡± She felt somewhat unsure within her heart. Could this scroll¡ really have absorbed tens of thousands from the army? Even the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals? ¡°All I did was draw the battlefield in the way Teacher told me to, as if drawing a sunset, and I never expected it to have such a miraculous effect¡ and actually, painting the battlefield felt even easier than painting a sunset!¡± ¡°So it turns out¡ I¡¯ve be this strong?¡± She felt a surge of excitement! Normally, learning by Li Fan¡¯s side, looking up at the high mountains, she always felt inadequate. Like a droplet in the face of a vast river! Now, she realized that through continuous learning, this droplet had long umted the strength of a great river, which just seemed insignificant inparison to the Teacher¡¯s boundless ocean¡ She put away the scroll and brush and immediately descended to join Fire Spirit and the others on their warship. ¡°Thank you, Maiden Ziling!¡± The crowd voiced their gratitude! If not for Ziling, the Heavenly Realm, despite having established the Hall of Celestial Generals, would have lost. The gap in strength was too great. Ziling said, ¡°No need for thanks, I was simply carrying out orders. Sister Ling¡¯er, Sister Qianning, let¡¯s go report back to Teacher¡ª¡± Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning nodded immediately, and ordered the retreat at once. Yue Poshan and others then led the Heavenly Realm¡¯s army back, while Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the rest followed Ziling directly towards the Southern Small Mountain Vige! At this moment. In the Diming Realm. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why have we suddenly lost contact with the front lines?¡± In the Xuanming Dynasty, many senior experts left in charge of the allied forces spoke apprehensively! ¡°Our Jingguang Sect has also lost contact with the front lines. Looking through the Transmission Crystal¡ it seems like they have disappeared?!¡± Several elders from the Jingguang Sect immediately stood up in shock. ¡°No, howe nobody from our Chen Imperial Dynasty can be reached?¡± An imperial uncle of the Chen Imperial Dynasty voiced his anxiety! Suddenly, all the major powers realized the same thing. Just at that instant, their connection with the front lines¡ was directly severed! ¡°What on earth happened at the front line? Even if the situation was unfavorable, we shouldn¡¯t have lost all contact, should we?!¡± A Golden Immortal left behind spoke out, a look of astonishment and suspicion in their eyes! ¡°Unless, unless at the very same moment, hundreds of thousands of allied forces¡ all became immobile, or even¡ all at the same time¡¡± Another Golden Immortal muttered under their breath, yet thest two words, he simply dared not speak out loud! ¡°This is impossible, dispatch someone to investigate immediately! Immediately!¡± Even the forces of the Xuanming Dynasty were unable to sit tight anymore, because they discovered that the soulmp of Xuanning Emperor Zhao Chenxing had fallen into a bizarre state! It hadn¡¯t gone out, but the me¡ had turned into a strange blue color! At this moment, within a hidden space inside the Xuanming Imperial Pce. Senluo Branch Hall. ¡°What¡¯s happening?!¡± The two Taiyi Golden Immortals left in charge were simrly staring dumbfounded at the nine soulmps before them! Above the nine soulmps, the mes had, in an instant, turned into a sinister blue color¡ ¡°No, no¡ how is this possible? Does this mean that the hall masters¡ their lives are being metamorphosed?¡± One of them spoke, thinking of a certain terrifying possibility, his face filled with horror! Life metamorphosis! This phenomenon, even within the Immortal Domain, was something that existed only in forbidden legends. It was said that in the Immortal Domain, there were some who ventured into the forbidden zones, but after entering, their lives were metamorphosed, turning them into ves of the forbidden zone, living in a different manner. Although they were undying, they¡ were no longer their former selves! The other Taiyi Golden Immortal also had his pupils shrink, saying: ¡°No, life metamorphosis¡ unless they were absorbed by the legendary forbidden zone, bing Forbidden Zone ves¡ Quick, report to Sen Ming Immortal General immediately!¡± This kind of matter was simply not something that their mere branch hall could handle. It had to be reported to the sect, indeed, even an Immortal General¡ might not be able to handle it! In the Diming Realm, panic swiftly took hold, because more and more people found that the souls of those who had gone to participate in the battle¡ had all turned into a sinister blue color! ¡°That new major world¡ is simply a devil¡¯s den!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, we¡¯repletely done for¡¡± ¡°We¡¯ve sent hundreds of thousands of our most elite forces¡ all to their graves!¡± People were in a state of panic, numerous powers were spitting blood in anger! This time¡ the overall strength of the Diming Realm might setback by thousands of years! At the same time, many ancient powers began attempting to summon those ancestors of theirs who had entered the Immortal Domain. ¡°Ancestral Spirit, the Diming Realm may have encountered an incident of life metamorphosis, the entire Lower World is nearly finished, please respond, Ancestral Spirit!¡± In the Chen Imperial Dynasty, a middle-aged man lit a stick of colored ze incense, making contact with the Immortal Domain! ¡°Ancestor, the sect has encountered a disaster, there may be a forbidden object in the Lower World, please take action, Ancestor!¡± At the Jingguang Sect, the remaining group of elders sacrificed their essence blood to activate a certainmunicative item. And at this moment. Zi Ling and the others finally returned to the small mountain vige. ¡°Master, we¡¯re back¡ª¡± Zi Ling pushed open the door, bouncing in cheerfully, obviously very happy. Seeing her return, many disciples all looked over. ¡°Sister returned so soon? Did the boundary war end that quickly?¡± Dugu Yuqing was somewhat surprised! ¡°Zi Ling and Miss Qianning and the others look well, it seems we won.¡± Nan Feng also smiled faintly, she had been somewhat worried before, after all, Zi Ling had hardly experienced actualbat. Li Fan also smiled and asked: ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re back, but how did it end?¡± Zi Ling immediately smiled and took out a painting she had made. The many disciples also gathered around, and when they saw the contents of the painting, they were all somewhat surprised! ¡°Such a vast battlefield, is this what the Void Sea Domain looks like? It truly captures the imagination!¡± ¡°Zi Ling¡¯s artistry is truly powerful, the battlefield is vividly portrayed, each person in full detail¡ I feel as though they are real people!¡± ¡°These nine people look exceptionally remarkable, huh? Why do I feel like their expressions seem somewhat painful and unwilling?¡± Qing Chen, Long Zixuan, and others all spoke in surprise. And Nan Feng¡¯s heart trembled slightly, she immediately transmitted a message to ask: ¡°Zi Ling, what exactly happened?¡± The many fellow disciples all looked at Zi Ling, making her feel a bit nervous as she said in a weak voice: ¡°I, I might have drawn the hundreds of thousands of the allied forces from the Diming Realm, as well as the Taiyi Golden Immortals¡ into the painting¡ The ones inside, they should really be living people¡¡± Nan Feng¡¯s face changed drastically. She had personally seen how the teacher, with a simple stroke, could make something from the outside world disappear into the painting! Long Zixuan and the others were equally shocked! Previously, with a single painting, the master was able to kill a clone of the Immortal King, and now, Zi Ling managed to repress hundreds of thousands of a great army¡ as well as Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals with a single painting?! They were all bbergasted! Chapter 157 - 143 The Painting Slave_1 Chapter 157: Chapter 143 The Painting ve_1 Hearing Zi Ling¡¯s ount, Nan Feng and the other disciples were all somewhat dumbfounded. This was just too defying of the heavens¡ Their master¡¯s single painting was able to suppress the Immortal King, which surprised everyone, but it was within reason. After all, they all understood that their master was unfathomable! But that a painting by Zi Ling could also suppress an army of hundreds of thousands and even the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals¡ This seemed outrageous. It was utterly preposterous! Even the Gong Ya Demon Marshal was shocked for quite a while: Such a terrifying Art of Painting, now, she¡¯s only at the realm of a Golden Immortal. If she were to enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, perhaps I wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand her single painting¡¡± She was somewhat dazed, was she now to witness, in such a short period of time, the young people of this small courtyard embarking on the path of invincibility? Thinking of her own decay over thousands of years¡ she suddenly felt it was all too miserable! Li Fan also took an interested nce at the painting. ¡°Hmm, your painting skills have improved to a certain extent, but you¡¯ve overlooked something¡¡± Li Fan pointed at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the Taiyi Golden Immortals in the painting, saying: ¡°These characters have different expressions, some even faintly revealing a fierce countenance. This clearly shows you haven¡¯t truly mastered control over these characters!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve merely depicted their form and not reshaped their essence!¡± Upon hearing this, Zi Ling suddenly saw a light shine in her heart, as if she grasped something, and anxiously asked: ¡°Master, is it possible to control the souls of people through painting?¡± Hearing her question, everyone was also somewhat shocked. To control the souls of people in the painting through the painting? I his¡ Did it mean one could turn these people into one¡¯s own controlled¡ puppets? Li Fan smiled and said: ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°You must know, this is your painting. You can certainly choose to calmly depict reality, to record or preserve certain people and events you want to retain, until eternity!¡± However, you may also choose to be the supreme master within the painting, where anything that enters your painting is subject to your control!¡± Li Fan taught casually! Yet everyone present felt as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt, as if they had witnessed the sky copsing and the earth shattering! To retain desired people and objects, until eternity¡ and to be the master, controlling everything? ¡°Is this the supreme Art of Painting? Terrifying¡ Horrific¡¡± ¡°The master¡¯s words touch upon eternity, the secrets of the universe¡¡± Even those who did not practice the Art of Painting could feel the supreme profundity of reaching enlightenment from just a few words from Li Fan! A painting could be eternal! A painting could control the divine! ¡°Such grandeur! Throughout the ages, looking at all immortal beings, and even those above immortality, who has such a vision and demeanor?¡± Xinning murmured to herself. As for Zi Ling, she was even more lost in thought. It was as if she saw a light, glimpsing another world! Another step! ¡°When painting, I indeed did not put my heart into controlling the characters beneath my brush, hence, those people are alive, living within my painting, but I am unable to control them¡¡± ¡°If I can reach another level, everyone in the painting will be my¡ painting ves? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including the Taiyi Golden Immortals, will all heed mymands¡¡± Zi Ling muttered to herself, feeling utterly dumbfounded. Io be the master of the painting requires but a thought!¡± Li Fan then smiled slightly and said: ¡°Come, try it. Settle your heart, calm your breath, feel the characters in the painting, erase what you do not desire, and endow them with new life.¡± Upon hearing this, Zi Ling took a deep breath and stepped forward, closing her eyes! She held the paintbrush, and at that moment, everything in the painting naturally flowed into her mind. The first thing she felt was the unwillingness, the anger, and even a hint of fear from the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals! They¡ did not wish to enter the painting, struggling intensely! ¡°No, this painting is the world I¡¯ve prepared for you¡ You cannot resist it, you can only¡ ept it!¡± She murmured, then suddenly gripped the paintbrush tighter and lightly swept across the painting! As her brush moved across the rice paper, in that instant, the nine elderly men in the battlefield, who stood out incongruously, suddenly transformed! At that moment, their expressions and gazes no longer showed reluctance and struggle, but were filled with naturalness and tranquility, as if¡ they were originally creatures belonging to the world within the painting! Hiss! Seeing this scene, Nan Feng and the group of disciples all inhaled sharply in astonishment! They distinctly felt that the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals in the painting¡ hadpletely changed. They were still the same people. But¡ it was as if they had been re-endowed with souls! ¡°Well done. Now, these characters belong to you,¡± Li Fan praised her, and with this guidance, Zi Ling¡¯s painting skills advanced to a higher realm. Zi Ling also suddenly murmured: ¡°I understand¡ I understand now. A painting isn¡¯t just a painting; it¡¯s a world, it¡¯s life, it¡¯s reality, it¡¯s a human life!¡± She clearly felt that now, she could easily release the Nine Taiyi Golden Immortals from the painting. And they¡ would recognize her as their master! It was at this moment that her aura suddenly surged! Initially at the Quintuple Heaven of Golden Immortals, she broke through consecutively! To the Sixth Heaven! To the Seventh Heaven! Until the Ninth Heaven! Then, thest closed gate also burst open with a bang! Her aura smoothly ascended to a higher realm! In the midst of the field, a group of disciples witnessed this, and were left somewhat¡ dumbstruck! Zi Ling¡ just like that, she broke through to the¡ Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm! For a moment, everyone¡¯s expressions wereplicated, their eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°With a casual guidance from our Master, Senior Sister Zi Ling has leaped to be one of the strongest¡¡± Long Zixuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh with emotion. He had observed the True Dragon andprehended the Way, and was already in the seventhyer of the Golden Immortal Realm; he had been considered strong among his fellow brothers and sisters¡ Only now did he realize that a casual instruction from their Master could surpass the arduous cultivation of countless others! ¡°That is just too fearsome¡ Who would dare to anger Zi Ling in the future¡¡± Dugu Yuqing secretly felt some fear. Nan Feng, however, was extremely delighted and said, ¡°Zi Ling, congrattions, you¡¯ve ascended another step!¡± Nan Feng was at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, and prior to this, she had always been the strongest. With her continuous deepening understanding of the Emperor¡¯s Breakthrough Melody, advancing to the Taiyi Golden Immortal was just a matter of time. ¡°Thank you, thank you, Master¡ª¡± Zi Ling happily thanked Li Fan. Li Fan smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for thanks. Go now, take this painting and refine it well.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Zi Ling happily took the painting to another side to make modifications. She was somewhat looking forward to it. Now, the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals had already be her ¡°painting ves.¡± If she could also turn these hundreds of thousands of troops into painting ves¡ By then, would there be any need to fear wars? With a mere flick of her wrist, hundreds of thousands of powerful beings would be at her behest¡ At this moment. In the boundless Void Sea Domain, worlds shimmered with a faint white light, akin to sparse stars. Among them, some shone brightly, asrge as a hen¡¯s egg, enshrouded in mist, their light capable of illuminating many surrounding worlds. Such worlds were rarely found in the Lower World. 1 hese were the phenomena of therge worlds within the Earth Character Realm. Theserge worlds within the Earth Character Realm were farrger than the medium-sized worlds, ranging from several to dozens of times bigger. Even within the Void Sea Domain, several worlds orbited them like satellites, paying homage. And theserge worlds were often subservient to the Three Great Heavenly Realms! The Second Celestial Realm, the Third Celestial Realm, the Fourth Celestial Realm¡ were the true domineering realms amidst the Million Lower Realms! I he Dijin Realm was such arge world, surrounded by nine smaller worlds as its guard, also one of the frontier jurisdictions of the Third Celestial Realm! The Dijin Realm was vast and boundless, with a multitude of powers, countless primordial mountain ranges, and innumerable fierce beasts. In this world, aside from the native forces, there were branches of forces from the Immortal Domain as well. In a primeval forest of the Dijin Realm, a magnificent pce was built. This forest was known as the Senluo Forest. Because it was the territory of the Senluo Holy Sect in the Dijin Realm! And what the outside world did not know was that within the Senluo Holy Sect resided a terrifying Immortal General! At this moment, within the grand pce. A white-haired middle-aged war general sat indifferently at the head seat with a trace of pale gold in his eyes. He was ying with two clear white jade beads in his hands. This man was the helmsman of the Senluo Holy Sect in the Dijin Realm, Sen Ming Immortal General! ¡ªSen Ming Immortal General was one of the twelve Immortal Generals under the Senluo Immortal Monarch! Reporting to the Immortal General, just now, a message came from the Diming Realm branch iming that Lin Wenshi and the other Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals have all disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, their Soul Lamps have turned blue, suspected of life metamorphosis¡¡± An elder walked in, saluted deeply to Sen Ming Immortal General, and spoke gravely. The white jade beads in the hands of Sen Ming Immortal General suddenly stopped. He lifted his eyes and looked at the elder indifferently. ¡°Life metamorphosis?¡± His indifferent voice sounded, saying, ¡°Such an event is impossible. In the Lower World, aside from the Three Great Heavenly Realms, there are no forbidden zones!¡± The elder spoke harshly, ¡°Yet, the message from the Diming Realm is absolutely reliable!¡± Sen Ming Immortal General pondered for a moment and then revealed a cold smile, ¡°Interesting. Could it be that there truly lies a great opportunity hidden here? Never mind, I havepleted my arrangements for this realm, so it¡¯s time to see just what goblins or monsters this Diming Realm has encountered!¡± After speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared directly from the chair! The elder was startled, but he soon realized that Sen Ming Immortal General must have already appeared in the Void Sea Domain, heading towards the Diming Realm¡ Meanwhile. In the vast Void Sea Domain. A dark shadow sliced through space with incredible speed. After a long time, the shadow finally paused. This was a man d in ck armor, his eyes filled with Demonic Qi, hisplexion somber. He sniffed, as if searching for something specific. And on his neck, curiously, rode a little girl who looked to be about eight or nine years old! If the people from the little vige in the Heavenly Realm were present, they would be astounded, for this little girl was the spitting image of Xinning! Only, her eyes were filled with a certain malevolent energy. ¡°Stop looking, it¡¯s in that direction. I¡¯ve already sensed her presence!¡± She pointed in a certain direction of the Void Sea Domain, patted the man¡¯s head, and said cheerfully, ¡°Hurry up, I have to devour her. Once 1 devour her, I will be far ahead of the others¡ª¡± The man nodded and said, ¡°As youmand, Demon Monarch!¡± He moved his feet, turning into a terrifying ck shadow, and vanished from the scene in a blink. Chapter 158 - 144 Xinning’s Sister?_1 Chapter 158: Chapter 144 Xinning¡¯s Sister?_1 In the Void Sea Domain adjacent to the Heavenly Realm, a dark shadow was rapidly approaching. Before long, it had already appeared outside the world barrier. ¡°Demon Monarch, are you sure she is within this realm?¡± The man carrying the little girl respectfully inquired. ¡°Of course, hurry up, hurry up! I¡¯ve already smelled her scent!¡± The man nodded and said, ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°However, this world seems to be, at most, a lower Earth Character Realm. 1 fear it may not be able to amodate your subordinate from entering¡¡± He took a step forward to try, but to his surprise, in the next moment, both he and the little girl riding on his neck had already passed directly through the world barrier! ¡°Hm? What¡¯s going on here?¡± The man was puzzled. After all, he was of Great Luo Golden Demon strength, a Demon Marshal. In the Lower World¡ unless it was one of the Three Great Heavenly Realms, or some very special high-grade Earth Character Realm, nothing else could amodate him! But this world before his eyes wasn¡¯t part of those realms at all¡ ¡°It¡¯s no wonder this is where the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul is hidden; indeed, there¡¯s something special about it.¡± He murmured to himself. ¡°Quick, over there. 1 feel like I¡¯ve gotten one step closer to her,¡± the little girl continued, pointing towards the center of this world. The man immediately stepped forth. Having reached the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm in his cultivation, spatial distance was already just a numerical concept for him. With a single step, he crossed several states in the next moment! Soon, they appeared in Xuan Tianzhou. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong, why is the Immortal Spirit Qi here so dense¡¡± The man was taken aback. It could almostpare to some of the strongest Earth Character Realms! Yet, with a sweep of his divine sense, heprehended they of thend and didn¡¯t detect any particrly strong Cultivators. ¡°It seems this world is a newly formed one. What on earth does the Demon Monarch¡¯s another Primeval Soul, in hiding here, intend to do?¡± He muttered to himself. ¡°To the south¡¡± The little girl continued to speak, directing him. Before long, they had already arrived outside the Cangli Mountain Range. ¡°This area is a bit strange, so be careful,¡± the little girl on his neck reminded him with herrge, sinister eyes showing a hint of suspicion. Upon reaching this point, they didn¡¯t rush ahead but approached slowly. ¡°Hmm? I can sense a faint trace of Demonic Qi, very light.¡± The man spoke up, his eyes lifting to see the small mountain vige ahead! ¡°I see, it must be someone Gong Ya sent to protect the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul. Hehe, such an important matter as the Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul is guarded only by a minor Golden Demon?¡± He understood the other¡¯s realm from the Demonic Qi he had sensed. The two immediately neared the small mountain vige. And at this moment, inside the vige, in a corner against a wall, a bald man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his clothes somewhat tattered, with a broken bowl ced before him, just like a beggar! This person was none other than Ming Tianbei, who had previously escorted the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul to escape to the small vige! He was fortunate to stay in the vige, and because of his ragged appearance, the vigers took him for a beggar. The kind-hearted Auntie Wang even gave him a broken bowl. This made Ming Tianbei, a formidable Demon Guard, nearly moved to tears, as the bowl meant the vigers asionally gave him some food. And those food items were almost exclusively Spiritual Medicine. Hence, he led a shameless and easygoing beggar¡¯s life in the mountain vige. It was only a few months of such a life, but he had already broken through from the Xuanmo Realm to the Golden Demon Realm! This made him realize the best days of his life had finally arrived! But at this moment, Ming Tianbei, who was cultivating, suddenly changed his expression. He had sensed two terrifying demonic presences! ¡°Not good!¡± His expression changed drastically. Gleaning up, he looked towards the edge of the vige and saw a middle-aged man with demonic patterns on his forehead entering the vige. On his neck rode a little girl. ¡°Jing Mie, the Demon Marshal¡ and another of the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Souls, have theye knocking?¡± Hiss! Ming Tianbei gasped, turned, and sprinted towards Li Fan¡¯s courtyard! This matter was too significant; he must immediately inform Gong Ya, the Demon Marshal, and the Demon Monarch! It should be known that after the Nine Holy Demon Monarch failed to breakthrough to be the Immortal King, his Nine Soul Paths scattered in different ces, each guarded by one of his nine Demon Marshals. And the Primeval Souls were destined to devour each other! He quickly vanished from the spot. Meanwhile, at the vige entrance, ¡°He¡¯s running away!¡± On Jing Mie¡¯s neck, the little girl pointed in the direction Ming Tianbei fled and said: ¡°He¡¯s definitely going to snitch. We need to catch up quickly!¡± However, Jingmie Demon Marshal at this moment was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the small vige, he felt a dreadful oppression. ¡°Demon Monarch¡ this ce, this ce seems to be a forbidden area¡¡± He spoke hoarsely, pointing forward and saying: ¡°There are traps everywhere. Look, that wooden bridge¡ªif one is careless and falls off, even a Great Luo Golden Demon would be refined!¡± ¡°That green grass field, full of Sword Qi. Once entered, I might not be able toe out unscathed.¡± ¡°And those seemingly simple stone houses clearly contain terrifying principles¡¡± He spoke word by word, his voiceced with fear. Even as a Demon Marshal, how could he not fear when entering the fabled forbiddennd? It was precisely because of the lethal dangers everywhere that made him simply watch Ming Tianbei flee. Otherwise, how could he let him go? Alerting Gong Ya, the Demon Marshal, and the Primeval Soul of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch to their presence would be like startling the snake in the grass. ¡°I can feel it too¡ this ce makes me very ufortable.¡± The little girl on his neck also spoke, frowning and saying: ¡°If it really is a forbidden area, then we¡¯re in trouble. Seeing how fast that Demon Guard ran just now, he obviously knows this ce well. Could it be that the Master of the Forbidden Area has epted another Primeval Soul¡¡± ¡°We must hurry up!¡± Jing Mie Demon Marshal also nodded, and immediately quickened his pace with each step he took. However, at this moment, his nerves were already taut! Not muchter, outside Li Fan¡¯s courtyard. ¡°Miss Gong Ya, something big has happened, something big has happened!¡± The anxious voice of Ming Tianbei rang out! He didn¡¯t dare to approach and could only shout from a distance. Previously, Gong Ya knew that Li Fan lived in seclusion like a mortal and did not like to meddle in cultivators¡¯ affairs, so she had specifically instructed Ming Tianbei to call her as Miss Gong Ya in urgent situations, not to mention the word ¡°Demon Marshal¡± to avoid displeasing Senior Li. Meanwhile, inside the courtyard. Gong Ya was brewing tea for Li Fan, her gaze intently observing how the boiling water forced steam out of the tea leaves. After thest guidance from Li Fan, she had sensed the key to progressing from the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm toward Immortality, so now she was contemting that profound principle! Outside the door, the sudden sound of Ming Tianbei¡¯s voice made Gong Ya lift her eyes, a flicker of indecision crossing her gaze. What could have made Ming Tianbei so anxious? She looked at Xinning. Xinning said, ¡°Go and see what¡¯s happening.¡± Respectfully, Gong Ya bowed to Li Fan and said, ¡°Master, may your maidservant step out for a moment?¡± Li Fan said, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Gong Ya immediately hurried out of the courtyard. ¡°What exactly happened, why such panic?¡± Gong Ya Demon Marshal asked Ming Tianbei! Ming Tianbei knelt down on the ground in a frightened state, and said: ¡°Reporting to the Demon Marshal, Jing Mie Demon Marshal, apanied by another Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul, has already arrived at the vige entrance¡¡± Upon hearing this, Gong Ya was greatly startled! Jing Mie! As one of the nine Demon Marshals under the Nine Holy Demon Monarch of bygone days, she was very clear about his strength. He was one of the strongest among the nine Demon Marshals. Moreover, there was another Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul¡ Based on the timeline, the Primeval Soul that Jing Mie Demon Marshal was assisting had emerged earlier than Xinning, and was certainly far stronger than her. ¡°I understand.¡± Her voice turned grim as she said, ¡°Find a ce to hide. You needn¡¯t get involved in this matter.¡± A mere Golden Demon was not fit to participate in a struggle of this level. Ming Tianbei immediately nodded and ran off. Gong Ya turned back and returned to the courtyard. ¡°Demon Monarch, it¡¯s bad. Jing Mie ising with another Primeval Soul¡¡± Shemunicated to Xinning through a mental message. A look of tension immediately passed through Xinning¡¯s clear,rge eyes! Clearly, she, too, was concerned! ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Has an enemye?¡± At that moment, Li Fan asked. Previously, Xinning had been pursued by her enemies, and that Ming Tianbei seemed to be Xinning¡¯s bodyguard. Now that he¡¯de running in such a fluster, it was likely her enemies had caught up¡ Li Fan spected in his heart. Hesitating for a moment, Xinning turned and looked at Li Fan, saying: ¡°Big Brother¡ 1,1 have a sister, and she hase looking for me¡¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan was momentarily surprised. Xinning had a sister? But then he immediately smiled and said, ¡°A reunion of sisters, that¡¯s wonderful.¡± Xinning said: ¡°But, but this sister, she wants to kill me. Only by doing so can she inherit what belongs to me¡¡± Hearing that, Li Fan was taken aback. Such a plot twist? To actuallye across such a situation? It seemed that Xinning indeed came from a wealthy family, and it was even possible that she was a princess of some sort, like in the novels¡ Such wealthy households often witnessed deadly infighting over inheritance. ¡°That¡¯s rather malevolent!¡± Li Fan too found it unpleasant to see. During their time together, he had alreadye to see Xinning as a part of the little courtyard¡¯s family. And besides, after spending so much time with Li Fan, reading poetry, Xinning had be increasingly docile and her big eyes ever more pure. ¡°Like this, you need not be afraid. Let them in, and 1¡¯11 talk to them!¡± Li Fan was determined to reason with them! After all, this courtyard, this little vige was his territory, with plenty of support avable! If a resolution through discussion could lead them to give up their pursuit, that would be for the best. But if it came to a fight, he wouldn¡¯t back down! Hearing this, Gong Ya Demon Marshal was suddenly overjoyed. Heaven! Such a formidable being was actually going to take action to help personally?? With such support, what could they fear?? The endgame was secure, the victory already assured! Overwhelmed with excitement, And Xinning, too, was stunned for a moment, a profound sense of gratitude blossoming in her heart. All this time, this Senior had never stepped a foot outside the courtyard, never lent a hand to matters of the outside world! But now, to help her, was he actually going to take action? ¡°Don¡¯t stand there dazed, go on.¡± Li Fan motioned to Gong Ya. ¡°As youmand, as youmand!¡± Gong Ya, her chest heaving with excitement, turned and once again stepped out of the courtyard. As she opened the courtyard¡¯s main gate, she saw a middle-aged man with a little girl riding on his neck already approaching. The middle-aged man was sweating profusely, looking as if he¡¯d just endured a terrifying battle. And the little girl riding on his neck radiated an aura filled with sinister energy! ¡°Hee hee hee, got you!¡± The little girl looked at Gong Ya and suddenly let out a gigglingugh! Chapter 159 - 145: Words Follow the Law - 1 Chapter 159: Chapter 145: Words Follow the Law ¨C 1 Jing Mie Demon Marshal, as well as a Primeval Soul of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, finally appeared outside Li Fan¡¯s small courtyard. Taking a deep breath, Jing Mie had just walked all the way from the entrance of the vige, truly terrified. The murderous intent was too fearsome, with dire straits at every turn; many times, he felt his end hade. However, fortunately, many of the terrifying death traps did not attack him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have made it here. ¡°Gong Ya, having parted nearly ten thousand years ago, you and 1 finally meet again,¡± said Jing Mie coldly as he looked at Gong Ya. ¡°Where is the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul? Hand it over!¡± ¡°You¡¯re no match for me, and the Primeval Soul you¡¯re protecting hasn¡¯t even been in this world for a full year!¡± Upon hearing this, Gong Ya simply replied, ¡°It¡¯s not yet certain whose game it will be.¡± Jing Mie scoffed, ¡°Heh, I hope that when my protected Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul devours your master, you still have the same confidence!¡± Gong Ya, neither salty nor nd, extended her hand and said, ¡°The Demon Monarch is waiting for you in the courtyard, pleasee in!¡± Pleasee in! However, Jing Mie¡¯s eyes flickered with caution. This little courtyard didn¡¯t seem so simple. For a moment, the courtyard seemed to evoke a heart-stopping sensation in him. Entering rashly, something unpredictable might happen¡ ¡°What? You¡¯ve crossed the vast Void Sea Domain to get here, and now you¡¯re too scared to enter?¡± Gong Ya mocked coldly. ¡°Who says I¡¯m scared?¡± Jing Mie barked, stepping forward on the spot. But as he approached, that terrifying aura began to assault him in threads and strands! At this moment, he suddenly felt he dared not even breathe. For this aura made his soul feel threatened, causing his whole body to shiver uncontrobly! ¡°Pleasee in.¡± Gong Ya spoke again, a cold smirk appearing in her beautiful eyes. She understood all too well the Jing Mie Demon Marshal¡¯s current feelings! The first time she hade here and seen this courtyard, she had been equally astounded. Approaching rashly, even a Demon Marshal could be utterly destroyed! At this moment, even though Senior Li had already announced his waiting for them toe in, thus sparing them from obliteration, that oppressive aura still existed! The little girl riding on his neck suddenly spoke up: ¡°Do you think you can perform the empty-fort strategy for me?¡± Herrge eyes brimmed with sinister energy as she cackled, ¡°You are but one of my maidservants, and I am more aware of the ghosts in your head than you are.¡± ¡°There are no forbidden beings left here, am 1 right? Perhaps the only forbidden thing is that que above the door!¡± ¡°All the forbidden auraes from it; you¡¯ve simply chosen this ce to try and scare people with that door que!¡± She nced at the fourrge characters ¡°Wu¡¯er Xianting¡± on the door but quickly looked away, not daring to linger! Hearing this, Jing Mie¡¯s eyes also shed with sudden realization. ¡°The Demon Monarch is absolutely right; if there truly were any living forbidden beings here, and Gong Ya and the Primeval Soul she protects were epted by such forbidden beings, why would they go to such lengths to get us toe in?¡± ¡°Such beings could flick me to dust with a mere gesture!¡± He felt he hadpletely seen through the truth of this ce! Immediately braving the terrible pressure, he moved forward step by step, scoffing, ¡°If we must enter, then enter we shall. Today, you will witness the return of the true Demon Monarch!¡± Gong Ya promptly turned to lead the way. Jing Mie finally stepped over the threshold of the small courtyard. And in that instant! He was met with an awe-inspiring, supreme terror! Jing Mie suddenly stiffened! This terror-stricken aura made his liver and galldder split, his entire body drenched in sweat in an instant, and he stood rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning. ¡°What kind of aura on this earth¡¡± He clearly felt that the terror inside the small courtyard far surpassed that outside. He had thought, just as the Demon Monarch said, that this ce was all bark and no bite and that only the door que was the source of the terrifying aura. But¡ an even more horrific presence was within the courtyard. It was like he had intruded into the dwellings of countless terrifying beings, any one of which could make his legs go weak! He involuntarily looked up, ncing ahead. In front, the courtyard was tidy, with peach trees, a stone table, and cottages. And¡ many people! Some were ying music, Some were painting, Some were sweeping, And some were feeding fish¡ There was also a young man sitting beside the stone table, with a little girl identical to the Demon Monarch wrapped around his arm! Boom! At this moment, Jing Mie Demon Marshal was utterly shaken. To think that this forbidden area was hiding so many beings? Living beings in the forbidden area, even if just one were to appear, would cause an enormous uproar. And the little girl on his neck, witnessing this scene¡ Suddenly, her whole body jerked, and she fell from Jing Mie¡¯s neck! ¡°Demon Monarch¡¡± Jing Mie hurriedly helped her up, only to feel that the Demon Monarch was trembling as well. Both of them stared ahead, terror-stricken. Gong Ya wandered over nonchntly and curtsied before the young man sitting by the stone table, saying, ¡°Master, your maidservant has brought them here.¡± Master¡ this appetion! Maidservant¡ this self-reference! Hearing these words, Jing Mie understood in his heart that this seemingly refined, amiable young man with an unassuming aura¡ was actually the lord of this ce! The Master of the Forbidden Area? He had¡. seen a living Master of the Forbidden Area? Chapter 160 - 145: Words Follow the Law - 2 Chapter 160: Chapter 145: Words Follow the Law ¨C 2 He felt waves of dizziness! Beside him, the Demon Monarch¡¯s primeval soul now had a pale face, but its sinister eyes were fixed on Xinning beside Li Fan! Li Fan too simply waved his hand with indifference and said, ¡°Pour the tea.¡± Gong Ya immediately obediently poured the tea for him. Li Fan took a gentle sip and looked towards Jing Mie and the little girl in front. ¡°To resemble Xinning to such an extent, truly befitting of twin sisters!¡± Li Fan remarked. However, Xinning¡¯s sister always seemed somewhat unsettling! That gaze¡ was clearly filled with greed and malice. s, how could such a young girl possess such traits? He couldn¡¯t help but gently pat Xinning¡¯s head, feeling fortunate that Xinning had met him. He taught her poetry every day, allowing her to maintain the purity of her heart. Otherwise, who knows what Xinning might have be? Perhaps she would have be distorted and corrupted too. ¡°I already know the purpose of your visit,¡± Li Fan said at once, looking toward Jing Mie and the little girl: ¡°However, some things cannot be forced. What belongs to Xinning, you cannot take!¡± ¡°What is hers will always be hers, and I will not stand idly by!¡± Li Fan¡¯s expression grew colder. He knew that now was the time to disy absolute firmness and said: ¡°Should you wish to start a conflict, you will bring about your own destruction!¡± His words fell. The surrounding disciples were all greatly shocked. To them, their master¡¯s words were like a terrifying edict, carrying an iparable authoritative pressure! And in that moment, Jing Mie Demon Marshal could no longer contain the fear in his heart, and he fell to the ground with a thud! Groveling with his face to the ground, he was trembling! ¡°Edicts follow the uttered word¡ edicts follow the uttered word¡¡± He murmured in terror! The horrific being¡¯s earlier words were an invisible and terrifying edict; defiance meant instant annihtion! At that moment, he thought of the Immortal King! It was rumored that when the Immortal King spoke, the heavens followed. Breaching it would lead to a strike down by the great Dao! Could it be that the young man before him was a formidable figure of that caliber? Meanwhile, the soul of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch by his side, although she sensed the supreme power contained in that invisible edict, her sinister eyes were filled with resentment and indignation! ¡°No¡ªI won¡¯t ept¡ªwhy, I am the¡¡± She cried out in aggravation, but before she could finish, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood! ¡°Pft¡ª¡± She fell to the ground instantly, convulsing all over! Jing Mie, witnessing this scene, was dumbstruck. ¡°The Demon Monarch¡ has been crippled¡¡± He muttered. Just because of insolent speech, just because of disrespect towards that existence, so now, the Demon Monarch¡¯s primeval soul¡ Had its cultivation level crippled, and even the self-formed life mark had disappeared¡! He realized, it was over. The Nine Soul Paths of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, though fundamentally all belonging to the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, would form their independent life marks after rebirth, that is, their independent consciousness. But now, this life mark, this independent consciousness¡ had been erased. The Demon Monarch¡¯s primeval soul had be a pure primeval soul, no longer possessing consciousness, only to be devoured by other conscious primeval souls¡ It was totally over¡ He was disheartened to the core, and at the same time, his fear of the young man had reached its peak. Merely a single sentence¡ Had determined the life and future of a Demon Monarch- Li Fan¡¯s disciples were equally in shock at this moment. They could all sense Jing Mie¡¯s might! Even surpassing that of Gong Ya. Moreover, that girl was clearly bewitchingly strange to the extreme. But now, because of a single word from her master, she had been rendered useless- Words gave rise to thew! ¡°Is it really¡ that simple?¡± Gong Ya was stupefied,pletely stupefied. At this moment, she almost couldn¡¯t believe¡ The fusion of a Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul, battling until the ninth heaven trembled, was all possible, but now, it had been resolved with just a single sentence¡ Was this the power of a Supreme being¡ And seeing this, Li Fan was unexpectedly surprised. His own words, so effective? He had actually made the other kneel down? It seemed that he had scared the other party indeed! He couldn¡¯t help feeling a bit of joy, surely the other party had cowered because they saw the many people in his small courtyard. And that sister of Xinning, was clearly just toopetitive, seeing her poison n foiled and thus distressed to the point of convulsing herself¡ Li Fan couldn¡¯t help feeling a bitcent in his heart and looked towards Jing Mie, saying, ¡°Now, are you convinced?¡± Upon hearing this, Jing Mie did not hesitate in the slightest and worshipped with utmost respect! ¡°Jing Mie is convinced, from this day on, I will never harbor a second thought; otherwise, I will certainly perish body and soul!¡± To save his own life, he made a dire oath on the spot! In truth, with the Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch he served being destroyed, he had no other choice but to serve Xinning from now on. Li Fan, upon hearing this, nodded in satisfaction and looked towards Xinning and Gong Ya, saying, ¡°This matter is settled; you two should send them away.¡± Upon hearing this, Xinning jumped up happily and said, ¡°Okay, thank you, Big Brother!¡± She was truly grateful to the extreme! And Gong Ya also understood; Senior Li was letting the Demon Monarch take away that Primeval Soul to consume it elsewhere! After all, this senior liked to live in seclusion like a mortal and certainly didn¡¯t want to witness the scene of a Primeval Soul being devoured. Gong Ya and Xinning immediately stepped forward, taking the unconscious Primeval Soul and Jing Mie, and left the small courtyard. After leaving the small courtyard, they directly left the little mountain vige. ¡°Hehe, Jing Mie, thank you for delivering my split soul.¡± Xinning smiled, suddenly seizing that unimed Primeval Soul! In an instant, the Primeval Soul began to fade and merged into Xinning¡¯s body! And in that moment, Xinning¡¯s realm soared dramatically! The fusion of the Primeval Soul repeated the cultivation level. She directly reached the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm! Seeing this, Jing Mie and Gong Ya were both incredibly shocked! ¡°Congrattions, Demon Monarch!¡± Gong Ya spoke respectfully. Jing Mie¡¯s face shed withplexity, then immediately knelt down and said, ¡°Congrattions, Demon Monarch!¡± Xinning stretched out her limbs and suddenly said, ¡°The other Primeval Souls, they must all be in the Lower World, right?¡± Gong Ya said, ¡°Yes, Demon Monarch, both the Demon Domain and the Immortal Domain have too many formidable enemies, so in the past, the nine Demon Marshals hid your split souls in the Million Lower Realms.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Xinning smiled innocently, saying, ¡°After recovering to the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm, I can already sense them¡¡± As she spoke, she suddenly made a light cut, and blood immediately dripped from her wrist! ¡°Take this blood to the Void Sea Domain; they will follow the path ande¡ Hehe, this blood will tell them¡ here lie two unconscious split souls!¡± Xinningughed. She had disguised the blood as if it were from split souls that had lost their autonomous consciousness¡ it was bait! Jing Mie immediately took a deep breath, catching the blood, and said, ¡°I will go at once; I will make sure to attract the other split souls as fast as possible!¡± Chapter 161 - 146 Bait on the Hook 1 Chapter 161: Chapter 146 Bait on the Hook 1 After everything was arranged, Gong Ya returned to the small mountain vige with Xinning. On the way, Ming Tianbei came running out with his broken bowl, crying tears of joy, he said: ¡°Congrattions, Demon Monarch, my congrattions to you!¡± He had seen everything, how the Demon Monarch effortlessly devoured a split soul! His heart was also filled with shock. He had thought there would be a terrifying battle between Gong Ya Demon Marshal and Jingmie Demon Marshal, but unexpectedly, merely by entering that small courtyard, everything had been resolved¡ The entity in that small courtyard was too frightening, no wonder Zi Jia¡¯er Demon Monarch followed by its side. Xinning nced at Ming Tianbei and suddenly said: ¡°That¡ The things you beg for, if you have surplus, save some¡ I still need to expand my demon army in the future.¡± As a Demon Monarch, she also had countless followers under hermand. And although Ming Tianbei was begging here, the things he begged for were useful not only to her followers but even to the Demon Marshals. Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei immediately replied solemnly: ¡°Rest assured, Demon Monarch, I will definitely increase my begging efforts to tirelessly strengthen your demon army!¡± He gripped his broken bowl with excitement. Xinning suddenly felt this was a bit odd. They then returned. At this moment. Jing Mie had already appeared in the Void Sea Domain outside the Heavenly Realm. His speed was incredibly fast, spreading Xinning¡¯s Demon Blood throughout the surrounding tens of thousands of li of the Void Sea. At the same time, he infused his cultivation level. Waves of Demonic Qi would traverse space! Ordinary people couldn¡¯t sense it, but those other seven split souls originating from the same source as Xinning could definitely detect it! In no time, the seven split souls would converge like sharks that had caught the scent of blood, swiftly gathering here. Shortly thereafter. In the Void Sea Domain above the myriad heavens. In a far-off world within a mountain range, inside a Demon Pce: ¡°I¡¯ve sensed it¡ Two Primeval Souls have lost their independent consciousness!¡± A little girl who was cultivating suddenly opened her eyes! Hearing this, an elder beside her incredulously said: ¡°What? Demon Monarch, are you sure there¡¯s no mistake? Two? Split souls that have lost their independent consciousness?¡± The little girl stood up immediately and said: ¡°There¡¯s no mistake¡ We must take action immediately, the other Primeval Souls must have sensed it too, and if they reach them first, it¡¯s over.¡± The elder immediately knelt down and said, ¡°Demon Monarch, please get on!¡± The little girl climbed onto the elder¡¯s back, and with the little girl on his back, the elder suddenly vanished from the spot. Meanwhile. In a deste world. This world was almost devoid of Saintly Spirits, everywhere emitting terrifying Demonic Qi, with trees growing in pitch ck, utterly eerie. In the midst of this world¡¯s Xuanhuang Mist Sea, atop the World Tree, there was a Demon Pce. Inside the Demon Pce, countless ck Demonic Qi burst forth from the World Tree, then absorbed by the little girl within! At this moment, the little girl opened her eyes. Her eyes were pitch ck, almost without any whites to be seen! She was like a little fierce ghost. ¡°Blood Spear!¡± With her call, a warrior appeared in the void, wielding a long spear and d in demon armor! The warrior said in a deep voice, ¡°Demon Monarch, what is it?¡± The little girl spoke word byword, ¡°I¡¯ve sensed, in some part of the Void Sea Domain, two split souls that have lost their independent consciousness have appeared!¡± ¡°They¡ are summoning me!¡± Upon hearing this, the warrior Blood Spear¡¯s brow arched, he stepped forward, picked up the little girl, and with a swipe of his long spear in the void, a Void Gate appeared! Blood Spear, carrying the little girl, directly entered it! Across various parts of the Void Sea Domain, all Primeval Souls of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch sensed this call. Once a Primeval Soul lost its independent consciousness, it would develop a desire to merge with other Primeval Souls. This desire caused them to summon those Primeval Souls that had independent consciousness. This summoning, originating from the Demon Monarch¡¯s Primeval Soul, could traverse countless spatial distances! Therefore, at this moment, the seven scattered Primeval Souls among the Million Lower Realms all sped towards a certain direction! In the Diming Realm. After the battle for the realm, the Diming Realm was still in a state of panic! They had sent some people to explore this new grand world, but they found that hundreds of thousands of allied troops had seemingly vanished into thin air. No one saw them alive, nor did they find any bodies upon death; not even wreckage from a warship could be located. ¡°That new world must harbor a forbidden zone somewhere, turning the allied forces into ves of the forbidden zone¡¡± ¡°Impossible, among the million lower worlds, only the Three Great Heavenly Realms possess some forbidden zones!¡± ¡°Right, although it¡¯s bizarre, it still doesn¡¯t prove that such a ce exists!¡± However, no matter what they spected, for the time being, no one dared to approach that new world again. It was far too dangerous! Xuanming Dynasty. Within the Imperial Pce. Suddenly, in a secret ce, a white-haired middle-aged war general approached, step by step. In his hands, he fondled two crystal clear beads, his entire demeanor exuding such indifference. He effortlessly entered the barrier and saw the pce hidden in front of him. Senluo Branch Hall. As he appeared before the pce, the two Taiyi Golden Immortals inside hurried out to greet him with the utmost respect. ¡± Greetings, Sen Ming Immortal General!¡± ¡°Sen Ming Immortal General, your visit honors us greatly!¡± They were all extremely delighted, never anticipating that the Sect Gate would act so swiftly. Moreover, it was Sen Ming Immortal General himself who had arrived. It must be noted, Sen Ming Immortal General was one of the most powerful Immortal Generals under themand of Senluo Immortal Monarch. ¡°Where are the Soul Lamps of Lin Wenshi and the other nine? Take me to see them,¡± Sen Ming said tly, very directly. ¡°This way, please, Immortal General!¡± The two Taiyi Golden Immortals led the way. Shortly after, they arrived in front of a secret chamber. The chamber¡¯s entrance was sealed with all sorts of magical instruments! ¡°As there has been an incident involving life metamorphosis, we were worried something sinister could follow through the Soul Lamps, so we used magical instruments to seal this ce¡¡± one Taiyi Golden Immortal exined. Upon hearing this, Sen Ming Immortal General frowned and snapped, ¡°Enough with the nonsense. What ¡®life metamorphosis¡¯? It¡¯s all baseless talk!¡± He did not believe that outside the Three Great Heavenly Realms, there could be any forbidden zones. The two Taiyi Golden Immortals instantly fell silent, hastily removed the magical instruments sealing the door, and opened the entrance. As they entered the chamber, they were all suddenly shocked, their expressions drastically changing! For within the chamber, the nine Soul Lamps¡ had nowpletely turned¡ purple! Hiss! Purple Soul Lamps? At that moment, all three involuntarily gasped in shock. ¡°No¡ it¡¯s true, life metamorphosis has indeed beenpleted¡¡± one Taiyi Golden Immortal said, trembling. ording to all rumors rted to life metamorphosis, once it wasplete, the original owners¡¯ Soul Lamps would turn entirely purple! By then, the original people were still alive, but they were no longer the same beings. They had be ves of the forbidden zone! ¡°It actually¡ truly is life metamorphosis?!¡± Sen Ming Immortal General¡¯s pupils contracted. ¡°These Soul Lamps must not remain!¡± With a sweeping gesture, he extinguished all nine Soul Lamps at once! With the Soul Lamps extinguished, Senluo Branch Hall¡¯s final connection to Lin Wenshi and the other nine Taiyi Golden Immortals was severed. ¡°It seems this incident truly involves no small matter¡¡± Sen Ming Immortal General muttered, ¡°Considering the recent events in the Immortal Domain, I have an ominous premonition¡¡± At that moment, a messenger suddenly ran in, ¡°Report!¡± ¡°News just came from the Xuanming Dynasty, the Soul Lamps of the tens of thousands of allied forces from Diming Realm¡ have all turned purple!¡± Hearing this, the three people in the chamber took on an even graver expression. ¡°To amodate tens of thousands of forbidden zone ves¡ just how vast must this forbidden zone be?¡± The two Taiyi Golden Immortals exchanged looks, each seeing fear in the other¡¯s eyes. Sen Ming Immortal General also suddenly felt an overwhelming heaviness. ¡°Order all forces in the Diming Realm to extinguish those Soul Lamps¡ I shall personally visit this so-called new world!¡± After speaking, he turned and left the pce directly! The two remaining Taiyi Golden Immortals looked at each other, dumbfounded! Sen Ming Immortal General, in an instant, had already appeared in the Void Sea Domain. He sped toward that so-called great world! His speed was incredibly fast! Chapter 162 - 147 Demon Marshal’s Gathering!_i Chapter 162: Chapter 147 Demon Marshal¡¯s Gathering!_i Immortal General Sen Ming moved extremely fast. Soon, he had already appeared in the Heavenly Realm¡¯s Void Sea Domain. ¡°Hmm? This void seems to harbor a kind of¡ presence of the Demon Race?¡± He sensed something very acutely. He pondered for a moment, could the disappearance of the several hundreds of thousands of allied forces of the Diming Realm, along with so many Taiyi Golden Immortals, be rted to the Demon Race? The Million Lower Realms are not only governed by the Immortal Domain. There are also parts of the Lower World that correspond to the Demon Domain on the other side. The Demon Race can likewise infiltrate their Lower Worlds. However, the Lower Worlds controlled by the Immortal Domain and the Demon Domain are distinctly separated! Even the Lower World of the Demon Domain closest to this ce is a billion miles away through the void. For the Demon Race to cross over would be suicidal, as being discovered midway by any world would lead to a great war. The Demon Race and the Human Race have always been at loggerheads, engaging in relentless battles. ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not, today I will uncover the truth myself!¡± He immediately prepared to enter the world before him. But, at that moment. He suddenly felt something in his heart and sharply turned his head to look in a certain direction! In that direction, a shadow approached like aet, arriving in an instant. ¡°The Demon Race?!¡± Immortal General Sen Ming was startled and immediately hid himself! Just as he hid, an old man in a ck robe, carrying a little girl on his back, appeared in the area. The old man sniffed in the void and said: ¡°Indeed, it should be here. Even I can sense a demonic aura! Dense and chaotic¡ It¡¯s trulying from Primeval Souls that have lost their autonomous consciousness!¡± His expression was grave. The little girl on his back, on the other hand, excitedly said: ¡°It must be that two Primeval Souls have waged a great battle, but in the end, both perished together¡ Haha, they must be hiding in this world. Come on, let¡¯s hurry up, the other Primeval Souls probably haven¡¯t arrived yet.¡± The old man nodded and immediately took a step forward. In the next moment, he had disappeared! In the shadows. Immortal General Sen Ming¡¯s gaze was extremely solemn! ¡°What strong Demonic Qi, not weaker than mine¡ This is a Demon Marshal!¡± He murmured to himself, recognizing the strength of the old man who had just appeared! ¡°A Demon Marshal appearing in the Lower Worlds of our Immortal Domain? And who exactly is the little girl he¡¯s carrying? She gives me a sense of familiarity, bizarre¡¡± He pondered, vaguely feeling that this matter was no simple affair! However, before he could figure out an answer, another shadow appeared in the Void Sea Domain! This shadow moved equally fast, appearing in the area as well. This time, it was a burly man with extremely developed muscles. His body, towering like a steel tower, was covered with demonic tattoos, exuding a sense of power! Simrly, there was a little girl sitting on his shoulder! This little girl was identical to the one the old man had been carrying before! ¡°Quick, I feel there¡¯s another demonic presence in this space; someone must have entered before us¡¡± The little girl on the shoulder of the burly man had an urgent look on her face. ¡°As youmand!¡± This steel tower-like burly man also entered the world ahead without hesitation! In the shadows, Immortal General Sen Ming¡¯s brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with suspicion. ¡°Another Demon Marshal, what is going on¡ And why are the two little girls, who appeared one after the other, exactly the same? They both give me the same feeling¡¡± He became even more solemn. This matter was bing increasingly suspicious! Just then, a third demonic shadow appeared within the Void Sea Domain! Again, it was a Demon Marshal, carrying a little girl. Without a doubt, this little girl was identical to the previous two. Immortal General Sen Ming was full of doubt, increasingly puzzled. What exactly was in this world? One after another, three great Demon Marshals arrived? And why did those three little girls give him the same familiar feeling¡ What was their origin? At this moment, the fourth demonic shadow appeared! Another Demon Marshal, another little girl indistinguishable from the others, also entered the world ahead! ¡°Four Demon Marshals arriving in session, could it be that a Demon Monarch from the Demon Domain is gathering his forces here?!¡± Immortal General Sen Ming¡¯s face was filled with utmost seriousness! At this moment, he hesitated to enter this world. Who knows what terrifying existence is hidden within! He was certain that there had to be entities surpassing Demon Marshals. Otherwise, these Demon Marshals would not be arriving one after another. ¡°To enter, or to leave first¡¡± He hesitated! But at that moment, a surge of overwhelming blood energy suddenly filled the area. The fifth demon shadow appeared! It was a Demon Marshal, holding a blood-colored spear in his hand, and in his arms, he also held a little girl. This Demon Marshal¡¯s face was stern, and his aura was overwhelmingly strong! Even from the shadows, Immortal General Sen Ming felt the terrifying killing intent. Seeing this Demon Marshal, Immortal General Sen Ming almost cried out involuntarily: ¡°Is it him?!¡± Shock shed through his eyes! He¡ recognized this Demon Marshal! ¡°Demon Marshal Blood Spear¡ If I remember correctly, during the invasion of the Immortal Domain in years past, he was the strongest among the Nine Holy Demon Monarch¡¯s subordinates. The Senluo Holy Sect lost twelve elders to his spear!¡± He muttered, his eyelids twitching wildly! Back then, when the Demon Domain invaded the Immortal Domain, the Senluo Holy Sect had sent people to join the warfare. He was fortunate to have participated in one of the battles, and their opponent¡ was the Demon Marshal Blood Spear, a subordinate of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch! He vividly remembered, this killer demon had consecutively in twelve Daluo Golden Immortals from the Senluo Holy Sect, and at that time, he had hidden among the corpses to escape disaster! Therefore, his impression of Blood Spear was all too profound! He couldn¡¯t help but murmur, saying: ¡°It¡¯s actually him¡ But, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch was clearly known to have failed in his attempt to reach the Immortal King Realm nearly ten thousand years ago and perished in this world¡¡± The name of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch had also shaken the Immortal Domain and was known as one of the strongest Demon Monarchs in the Demon Domain. Moreover, he knew that in the past, the Senluo Immortal Monarch had joined two other Immortal Monarchs in an attempt to ambush the Nine Holy Demon Monarch. But in the end, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch killed one of the Immortal Monarchs, Blood Rain Sprinkled the Immortal Domain, and the Nine Holy Demon Monarch himself withdrew unscathed¡ That battle also made the Nine Holy infamous, making the heroes of the Immortal Domain dare not nce sideways! As Immortal General Sen Ming pondered, Blood Spear had already taken the little girl and entered this world. ¡°Under themand of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, there are nine great Demon Monarchs. With five havinge in session, perhaps more will follow!¡± He immediately waited patiently. However, after waiting for quite a long time, no other Demon Marshals appeared. ¡°Could it be that before I arrived, four Demon Marshals had already fallen into it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very possible.¡± He muttered. ¡°Five Demon Marshals arriving¡ carrying five identical little girls¡¡± He pondered, and suddenly, a light shed in his eyes! ¡°Not good¡ could it be¡ could it be that¡¡± He thought of a possibility! But then, he shook his head repeatedly, imagining his idea was too insane. ¡°Impossible, it can¡¯t be so, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch has already perished!¡¡± He stared intently at the world ahead! At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Senluo Holy Sect had suffered casualties connected to this ce! ¡°Could it be that before perishing, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch transformed this world into a forbidden territory?¡± ¡°And now, those Demon Marshals, carrying her Primeval Soul¡ are heading to the forbidden area¡¡± His words trembled slightly. If so, many things would start to make sense¡ The tens of thousands of allied forces that vanished in the Diming Realm, and the Nine Great Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Senluo Holy Sect, probably became ves to the forbidden territory within the Nine Holy Demon Monarch¡¯s domain¡ Moreover, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch perished due to the failed attempt at the Immortal King Realm¡ªshe definitely had the potential to create a forbiddennd. It was known that the taboo of ¡°forbidden¡± areas and domains was based on the most mysterious aspects of the cultivation path, where all cultivators feared them like tigers. Either they were some unfortunate Immortal Kings. Or, they encountered those unspeakable things while attempting to reach the King Realm. In a nutshell, the forbidden areas are above the Immortal level! And the Nine Holy Demon Monarch was precisely someone who should have reached that level back then. If this were true, the Nine Holy Demon Monarch¡¯s n would be too astonishing, wouldn¡¯t it? The Nine Holy Demon Monarch could potentially reappear in this world! Thinking of the terror of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch, his courage trembled immensely. ¡°This matter is beyond my ability to deal with, I must inform the Immortal Monarch!¡± Without hesitating, he turned and left! Chapter 163 - 148: The Grace of the Demon Monarchi Heavenly Realm! Chapter 163: Chapter 148: The Grace of the Demon Monarchi Heavenly Realm! Southern Territory, a small mountain vige. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother, for your help; this sister has already solved it.¡± Xinning gracefully bowed to Li Fan. ¡°No need to be polite,¡± Li Fan, however, smiled and said, ¡°Come, I¡¯ll teach you a new poem.¡± He picked up a brush, and his writing flowed like a dragon or snake across the rice paper, swiftly inscribing a poem! ¡°Clenching tight to the green mountain, never loosening grip, roots are deep, entrenched in cracked rock.¡± ¡°Though ground down a thousand times, the strength remains, unyielding to winds from all directions.¡± Xinning, following Li Fan, read the whole poem, and a trace of wonder appeared in herrge eyes! This poem was different from the ones Li Fan typically taught her. In the past, Li Fan mostly taught her poems that were refined and full of interest, to cultivate her body and mind. But this one carried a spirit of generous and impassioned purpose! ¡°Xinning, do you know why I¡¯m teaching you this poem?¡± Li Fan inquired. Xinning shook her head and said, ¡°Xinning does not know.¡± Li Fan gently stroked her hair on the forehead and said: ¡°I hope you can forever guard your own heart.¡± ¡°In life, one always faces various setbacks and tribtions; one sees all kinds of treachery and venom, yet there is always need for a spirit unblemished by the mud, a moral integrity unsullied by filth!¡± ¡°Just like the bamboo rooting on the mountain, embedded in the rock, never giving up, never admitting defeat!¡± He worried that Xinning, after experiencing the evils of the human heart, would lose her innate purity. After all, buried in the midst of nobility, persecuted by sisters, and disced to this mountain vige- in such circumstances, even an originally good child can easily be twisted! Li Fan wanted to use this poem to help her solidify a kind heart! Upon hearing this, a light of sudden understanding flickered in Xinning¡¯srge eyes! ¡°Though ground down a thousand times, the strength remains, unyielding to winds from all directions¡¡± ¡°Unblemished by the mud, unsullied by filth¡¡± She murmured to herself, seeming to understand something¡ ¡°Big Brother is teaching me poetry to help me shed the demon nature within me, isn¡¯t he?¡± At this moment, she seemed to grasp the painstaking intent behind Li Fan¡¯s actions over this period¡ ¡°Is it because he¡¯s worried that after merging with other Primeval Souls, I might lose myself and turn into a cruel and brutal monster¡?¡¯1 Thinking thus, she suddenly became vignt, realizing that the newly absorbed Primeval Souls could easily influence her self! ¡°I must refine them and must not let my mind be affected by them!¡± She made up her mind! ¡°Miss Gong Ya, the task ispleted.¡± At that moment, outside the small courtyard, a voice suddenly came through. It was Jing Mie¡¯s! At these words, a look of tense anticipation shed through Gong Ya¡¯s beautiful eyes! Jing Mie¡¯s return to report meant that the bait had finally caught some fish! Xinning also showed a slight smile; she turned to Li Fan and said: ¡°Big Brother, you helped me with my sister¡¯s issues this morning. I took the chance and called over my other seven sisters; I¡¯ll go out and settle this matter, and then I wille back, is that okay¡ª¡± Having devoured another Primeval Soul, her strength had greatly increased, and she could easily deal with the other souls, with two Demon Marshals assisting her; thus, she decided not to rely on Li Fan anymore. After all, even such a senior figure would grow weary if she were to constantly trouble him. Upon hearing this, Li Fan was momentarily startled. Xinning has seven other sisters?? Does this mean that Xinning was originally one of nine sisters?? This¡this is really too much, isn¡¯t it?? As expected of a big household. His feelings wereplicated, but he didn¡¯t say much; after all, clearing things up in one go was best. ¡°That¡¯s fine, if you need help, just say so.¡± Li Fan spoke up. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother¡ª¡± Xinning cheerfully expressed her thanks, then she and Gong Ya stepped out of the house once again. Upon leaving Wu¡¯er Xianting, Jing Mie stood outside with utmost respect and said: ¡°To report to the Demon Monarch, five Primeval Souls have already arrived!¡± Five of them! ¡°Let¡¯s go out and meet them¡ª¡± Xinning led the two out of the vige. Just as they left the vige entrance, Xinning suddenly extended her hand, and a Primeval Soul without its own consciousness suddenly appeared in the middle of the scene. ¡°Is this¡the Demon Monarch can simply extract a Primeval Soul at will?¡± Gong Ya asked in astonishment. ¡°Since I¡¯ve arranged bait to lure the fish, I must make it convincing. Come, let¡¯s retreat to the vige. In this way, no one will be able to detect us.¡± Xinning smiled. The three of them then waited under the vige¡¯s surrounding wall. Before long, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the vige. It was an elder carrying a little girl on his back. The little girl¡¯s face was very pale, but her eyes were filled with a strange color. ¡°That¡that is a Primeval Soul¡¡± The little girl suddenly pointed at a soul floating in front of the vige entrance! The elder was also shocked beyond belief. ¡°Why would a Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch be floating around here¡ This ce looks very frightening, as if it is a forbidden area!¡± He immediately said: ¡°Demon Monarch, this ce is too dangerous, its depths unknown; let¡¯s absorb this Primeval Soul right away and leave afterward!¡± The little girl also nodded and said, ¡°Okay!¡± Having said that, she jumped down from the elder¡¯s back in one step, and in the next moment, she was already in front of the Primeval Soul. She reached out to grab it. But the Primeval Soul, as if feeling threatened, actually floated toward the direction of the vige. ¡°Stop!¡± The little girl caught up in one step and forcefully reached out to grab it. It was at this moment that a dark vortex suddenly appeared above the little girl¡¯s head! ¡°Ah¡ªno!¡± The little girl looked up in terror at that moment, desperately wanting to retreat. But it was toote. The vortex was too terrifying, about to devour her. ¡°Demon Monarch!¡± The elder behind her was shocked; this was actually a trap! Without any hesitation, he charged forward, about to strike at the vortex. But at the same time, two presences, not a bit inferior to his, suddenly appeared, blocking him. ¡°Boom???? ¡± As he collided with these two presences, his figure was forced to a halt. In the instant he stopped, the Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch he was protecting had already lost its ability to struggle, and waspletely sucked into the ck vortex. ¡°Demon Monarch!¡± The elder¡¯s eyes were red with fury, like a crazed lion, pounding his chest and stomping his feet in rage. ¡°Shan Ming, your Demon Monarch isn¡¯t here? What¡¯s with the frenzy?¡± At this moment, a childish voice rang out. A little girl with her hands sped behind her back came forward, a smile ying at the corners of her mouth. Her aura was incredibly strong, at this moment not even weaker than Gong Ya and Jing Mie! After devouring the first Primeval Soul, she had recovered to the Grand Unity Golden Demon Peak Realm, and now, having devoured another, she had officially stepped into the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm! Her current strength was worthy of a Demon Marshal! Behind her, Jing Mie and Gong Ya followed, one on the left and one on the right! Seeing the little girl, the old man Shan Ming was greatly shaken. ¡°You¡ you¡ you set this trap¡¡± He understood everything now. This was a trap all along! The goal was to attract other Primeval Souls to devour. At this moment, Jing Mie coldly shouted: ¡°Shan Ming, in ordance with the orders given by the Demon Monarch in the past, although each of us nine supported a Primeval Soul, once the Primeval Soul we assisted was devoured, we must serve the devourer as our master!¡± ¡°Because, no matter who devours whom, in the end, it is the return of the Demon Monarch.¡± ¡°How dare you harbor selfish intentions and disrespect the Demon Monarch?!¡± Upon hearing this, Shan Ming gave a bitter smile and said: ¡°The Demon Monarch¡¯s finalmand, how could I forget?¡± After speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to Xinning in a very respectful manner: ¡°I pay my respects to the Demon Monarch!¡± Xinning said cheerily, ¡°Alright, no need for formalities,e over here and hide, don¡¯t let the others whoeter discover you.¡± Shan Ming had aplex look, but still walked behind Xinning, closely following her. Before long. A second dark shadow appeared in the arena! Xinning repeated the process! The third one! The fourth one¡ With five consecutive Primeval Souls, Xinning¡¯s forces skyrocketed, directly rising to the six levels of the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm! Three more Demon Monarchs also submitted to her. Just then, thest breath appeared, fierce and surging with blood! A man holding a Blood Spear, carrying a little girl, appeared coldly in the midst of the scene. At the entrance of the vige, two Primeval Souls remained! ¡°Quick, I need to go devour them!¡± The little girl in his arms seemed extremely eager. But Demon Marshal Xue Ge frowned and said: ¡°This ce is ominous!¡± ¡°Demon Monarch, we were thest to arrive, it doesn¡¯t make sense that the Primeval Souls are still here, yet no one else is to be seen!¡± ¡°We should retreat!¡± He spoke! ¡°No¡ how can you do this, Imand you to take me there immediately!¡± The little girl in his embrace angrily spoke out. Xue Ge¡¯s brow furrowed deeply. ¡°Hehe, what, did you realize that this was my trap?¡± At this moment, a voice rang out from within the small mountain vige. Xinning, followed by six Demon Marshals, walked out. Seeing Jing Mie, Shan Ming, Gong Ya, and others all following behind her, Xue Ge¡¯s pupils constricted! This means¡ the opponent has already devoured six Primeval Souls? That¡¯s terrifying! ¡°You¡¡± He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave. Even though he was the strongest of the nine Demon Marshals, he stood no chance against six Demon Marshals of the same rank. What¡¯s more, Xinning¡¯s aura had obviously be overwhelmingly domineering at this moment. ¡°Blood Spear, you¡¯re not thinking of running away, are you?¡± Xinning smiled and said, ¡°You are the strongest Demon Marshal under mymand. So,e, fight me. If you win, I¡¯ll let the Primeval Soul you serve to devour me, but if you lose, you must offer it up to me!¡± ¡°How about it?¡± Blood Spear had been intending to retreat, but upon hearing these words, suddenly looked up and said, ¡°Really?¡± Gong Ya also spoke urgently, ¡°Demon Monarch, it¡¯s not advisable. We are in a stable winning position right now; how can we give him such an opportunity so easily¡¡± Xinning waved her hand and said, ¡°All of you, back off.¡± Gong Ya was full of concern but still could only sigh and step back. Blood Spear also put down the little girl in his arms and said, ¡°Demon Monarch, please wait a moment.¡± Having said that, he advanced, wielding his blood-colored spear, and stared at Xinning, saying, ¡°You brought this upon yourself!¡± As he spoke, his spear danced wildly, the blood energy surged terrifyingly, striking directly as if a raging river of blood was rolling forth! A Demon Marshal made his move, and the surrounding area nearly copsed with it, his might was terrifying to the extreme! ¡°So strong! Blood Spear has progressed further over the years!¡± ¡°It¡¯s likely that he himself has touched the threshold of the Immortal path!¡± ¡°The Demon Marshal has just integrated a few Primeval Souls and is far from stable. How could he be his opponent!¡± Shan Ming, Jing Mie, and others were all anxious. But even until this moment, Xinning remained as calm as ever. Countless surging waves of blood energy roared towards her, the intent to kill filled the heavens, yet she suddenly extended a hand and recited a poem: ¡°In the corner of the wall a few branches of plum trees bloom, braving the cold alone. From afar I know they are not snow, for a hidden fragrance drifts this way.¡± As the poem was recited, her entire being suddenly became filled with an extremely pure and clear presence. Wherever she went, those terrifying blood energies couldn¡¯t stain her in the slightest! At this moment, she didn¡¯t resemble a terrifying Demon Monarch, but instead, seemed like a goddess descending from the ninth heaven. So ethereal, so clear, surpassing the ordinary! She parted the myriad blood energies and appeared in front of Blood Spear, lightly pointing a finger. Upon her delicate hand, magical plum blossoms bloomed! As the plum blossoms unfurled, in that instant, tens of thousands ofyers of blood energy dissipated, and countless killing intents vanished! A single plum blossom quietlynded on the tip of the blood-colored spear! At this moment, Blood Spear¡¯s spear trembled, an irresistible force transmitting through it, causing blood to flow wildly from the tiger¡¯s mouth in his hand! In an instant, Blood Spear¡¯s pupils shrank, he cried out in rm, and his entire body was sent flying backward! Boom! Blood Spear crashed forcefully onto the ground, dust and debris flying everywhere, and a terrifying crater appeared on the earth! Blood Spear was defeated! At this moment, the many Demon Marshals present, gazing at Xinning¡¯s silhouette, were filled with incredulous expressions in their eyes! That poem¡ that aura¡ They were utterly shocked! Chapter 164 - 149: Picking Up Trash Can Also Pick Up a Piece of Sky 1 Chapter 164: Chapter 149: Picking Up Trash Can Also Pick Up a Piece of Sky 1 The six Demon Marshals on the field were all shocked at this moment, unbelievingly watching the scene unfold before them. Blood Spear¡ was so easily defeated?? Xinning had only just made her move, and he was already beaten¡ ¡°Demon Monarch¡ is too terrifying, such strength, it¡¯s almostparable to his power back in the day¡¡± Shan Ming muttered to himself. ¡°Blood Spear¡¯s attack just now almost touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm. I¡¯m afraid it would take all six of us working together to withstand it¡ but the Demon Monarch, she did it so effortlessly!¡± Spoken by the Demon Marshal as tall and sturdy as an iron tower, his name was Tie Shan, and at this moment, his face was full of shock. ¡°Just now, I actually felt the Demon Monarch was like Qing Chen, a celestial maiden above the worldly dust, her poetry possessing such formidable mystic power¡ Is this why Senior Li teaches the Demon Monarch poetry every day¡¡± Gong Ya¡¯s beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. On normal days, she couldn¡¯t perceive anything fearsome about the valley poems taught by Li Fan. She even worried that Xinning, always following Li Fan in reading poetry without practicing cultivation, would lead to a stagnation in her cultivation level, unable topete with other Primeval Souls. Now she realized¡ How could an entity as terrifying as Senior Li do something meaningless? Those poems clearly contained a terrifying power of the Great Way. Xinningnded and patted her hands, a proud look appearing on her small face as she said, ¡°You have lost.¡± In therge pit ahead filled with dust and smoke, Blood Spear struggled to rise, using his blood-colored spear to support himself, but his face couldn¡¯t hide his embarrassment! He¡ was so easily defeated! ¡°I have lost¡ but, you didn¡¯t defeat me using the methods of the Demon Monarch¡ what you used was a Mystical Method from the Immortal Domain!¡± Blood Spear looked at Xinning. Xinning said indifferently, ¡°So what if I did? In this lifetime, this monarch intends to walk the path of cultivating both immortality and demonhood. Is that not allowed?¡± ¡°Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and bring her over for me to devour.¡± Impatience was showing on her little face. ¡°Cultivating both immortality and demonhood¡¡± Blood Spear muttered to himself as if he found this path¡ unimaginable. Yet, he still turned his head to look at the little girl behind him. The little girl¡¯s eyes immediately showed a hint of panic and she said, ¡°Blood Spear, 1 am your true master, I am the Demon Monarch, you cannot be reckless¡¡± As she spoke, she abruptly turned and fled! She had realized that Xinning had grown up and was no longer someone she could covet. On the contrary, if she didn¡¯t run, she would be devoured. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but only this way can the Demon Monarch return sooner!¡± Blood Spear spoke in a low voice, and his blood-colored spear suddenly thrust forward! A beam of blood-colored divine light instantly pierced the fleeing little girl! In the little girl¡¯s eyes lingered a trace of unwillingness, but quickly, her consciousness faded away. She transformed into an unimed Primeval Soul! Blood Spear presented the Primeval Soul with both hands, kneeling and saying, ¡°Please, Demon Monarch, absorb this to hasten your return to your former glory!¡± Seeing this, a look of approval shed in Xinning¡¯s eyes. Worthy of being the Demon Marshal she most valued back then, decisive in killing and full of loyal courage. By striking down that Primeval Soul, Blood Spear was not only not a traitor; on the contrary, it was because he remembered the instructions of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch from the past, proving that he had no ulterior motives. Regardless of who devours whom, the final oue is the same. ¡°Good,¡± Xinning said, and with a light wave of her hand. This Primeval Soul was instantly absorbed into her body. Afterward, Xinning¡¯s aura surged in an instant yet again! She broke through to the next level, entering the Da Luo Golden Demon¡¯s seventh heaven! ¡°The Demon Monarch is clearly only in the seventh heaven of the Da Luo Golden Demon, so why do I feel her aura is almost approaching the Immortal Realm¡¡± The crowd whispered to themselves, Only Gong Ya had aplex look on her face; she understood what all this was due to! Senior Li¡ In this life, perhaps the Demon Monarch could truly ascend to be the Immortal King, couldn¡¯t she? Her heart was suddenly filled with anticipation! ¡°Demon Monarch, it seems that the other two Primeval Souls have note,¡± Jing Mie spoke. ¡°The other two Primeval Souls are respectively assisted by Jade Rift and Bo Tu¡¡± ¡°These two have vanished without a trace since their departure that year.¡± Everyone spoke. Xinning, however, was not perturbed and said indifferently, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, there will always be a chance in the future.¡± ¡°Moreover, I have already sensed that the other two Primeval Souls¡ seem to have merged¡¡± At her words, everyone was taken aback. ¡°Alright, all of you, from now on, will cultivate in seclusion outside the vige,¡± Xinning said after the matter had concluded, starting to arrange for the Demon Marshals who had regathered under her banner. ¡°Ming Tianbei,¡± She called out, and Ming Tianbei quickly ran out from the vige entrance, respectfully saying, ¡°I greet the Demon Monarch!¡± He had been hiding behind the vige wall the entire time and was utterly shocked by what he witnessed. The Demon Monarch¡¯s growth rate was too fast¡ It seemed that the leg the Demon Monarch had clung to in that small courtyard was truly sturdy. ¡°From now on, you¡¯ll be responsible for looking after Tie Shan, Shan Ming, Jing Mie, and the others,¡± Xinning instructed. Hearing this, Ming Tianbei was immediately stunned. Me? Look after such a group of Demon Marshals?? Isn¡¯t this asking too much of me¡ I¡¯m just a minor Golden Demon¡ ¡°Demon Monarch, I¡¡± He looked troubled. Shan Ming, Tie Shan, and others also frowned! ¡°Demon Monarch, why do we need his care?!¡± Blood Spear even spoke up. As Demon Marshals, how could they allow a minor Golden Demon to look after them? How would that look? ¡°Exactly.¡± ¡°If the Demon Monarch finds us burdensome, we can also go out and conquer in the outer world,¡± the others spoke up as well. But Xinning just looked at Ming Tianbei and said, Chapter 165 - 149: Picking Up Trash Can Also Pick Up a Piece of Sky_2 Chapter 165: Chapter 149: Picking Up Trash Can Also Pick Up a Piece of Sky_2 ¡°Don¡¯t think too much, I just feel that with so many demons entering the small mountain vige, it might displease Senior Li.¡± ¡°So¡ when 1 asked you to take care of them, what I meant was¡ you should share some of the stuff you beg for in the vige with them, don¡¯t be too stingy.¡± Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei was stunned for a moment, but then he understood! ¡°As youmand!¡± He immediately responded. Meanwhile, Blood Spear and the others were all taken aback! What was going on? The Demon Monarch¡¯s words were actually acknowledging someone else as a senior? And because he was afraid that senior would be displeased, they couldn¡¯t enter the vige? How was that possible! They were all shocked. Only Jing Mie had aplex expression at this moment, recalling the terrifyingly boundless courtyard he had entered before, and the Supreme words that followed thew and could not be resisted¡ Xinning looked at Blood Spear and the others, saying: ¡°Don¡¯t be resentful, the things Ming Tianbei can beg for in the vige now are far rarer than anything you¡¯ve seen on normal days.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t believe me? Just take a look at his broken bowl he uses for begging.¡± Xinning spoke. Ming Tianbei immediately lifted the broken bowl in his hand for the Demon Marshals to inspect. This¡ this broken bowl¡ a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?!¡± Shan Ming was immediately astonished! Terrifying, even a damaged bowl is of Quasi-Immortal-level¡ What kind of terror would it be if it were intact?¡± Tie Shan was stunned. Blood Spear¡¯s pupils instantly narrowed! ¡°My lords, Demon Marshals, such things¡ are quitemon in the vige.¡± Ming Tianbei spoke timidly: ¡°These are just trash the vigers don¡¯t want, picked up from the roadside¡¡± Trash they don¡¯t want¡ Picked up from the roadside¡ Suddenly, a group of Demon Marshals were dumbfounded. Trash the vigers don¡¯t want could be a Quasi-Saintly Artifact?? What kind of vige is this! ¡°My lords, don¡¯t forget, this ce¡ may be a forbidden zone.¡± At that moment, Shan Ming suddenly remembered and shuddered. lhe Demon Marshals¡¯ expressions immediately turned grave. Indeed¡ The aura here was decidedly terrifying, as if it were a forbidden zone. So, the vigers Ming Tianbei spoke of¡ Could they all be beings from a forbidden zone??? ¡°It all makes sense now¡ So the Demon Monarch is under the protection of the master of the forbidden zone!¡± Tie Shan suddenly realized! ¡°I see¡¡± Blood Spear murmured. ¡°My lords, in fact, not being able to enter is also a blessing, the vige¡ is too terrifying¡¡± Jing Mie couldn¡¯t help but speak up as well; having been in once, he knew too well the dangers lurking everywhere! Upon hearing this, the group fell silent and looked at each other. After a long time, Shan Ming suddenly coughed and said: ¡°Ahem¡ that, Tian Bei, if there¡¯s any trash in the vige next time¡ keep an eye out for me, pick some up and share it, yeah¡¡± Tie Shan even said, ¡°I¡¯m not picky, I want any trash from this vige¡¡± Even Blood Spear, who was always unyielding, after a long silence, couldn¡¯t help but say: If youe across trash like Long Spears or spears¡ leave them for me.¡± Listening to them, Ming Tianbei¡¯s expression became indescribablyplex! A mere Demon Guard like myself has somehow made so many Demon Marshals bend at the waist to beseech me today¡ This is simply¡ like finding a piece of heaven while picking up trash! I, Ming Tianbei¡ from now on will definitely work overtime; all the trash in the vige¡ I will take it all upon myself, striving to strengthen the Demon Monarch¡¯s forces!!¡± He silently swore!! And at this moment. Deep within the Void Sea Domain. The sea here brims with chaos and twisted auras. Each world, moreover, is enveloped in ck mist. This ce is a domain beyond the Million Lower Realms governed by the Immortal Domain. In every world here, the Demonic Qi shoots up to the sky! This ce¡ is the Lower World under the Demon Domain¡¯s rule, juxtaposed with the Immortal Domain! If someone could overlook the entire expanse of the Void Sea, they would clearly see, amidst the boundless Void Sea, the ck Lower Worlds and the white Lower Worlds, densely packed yet distinctly separated, splitting into two at some mysterious region, not intermingling with each other. And the expanse of the ck regions far surpasses theplexity and vastness of the white Lower Worlds! ¡ªThe ck is like melons, the white is like beans! The areaposed of white worlds even seems to be surrounded by the ck worlds. And at this moment. Within a terrifying world, a towering Demonic Qi outside the world has formed a horrifying giant serpent, swallowing the sky, absorbing the endless energy of the Void Sea Domain, pouring it into this world! The endless Qi of the Void Sea Domain, as the ck giant serpent breathes it in, pierces through the ck world. From the perspective of the ck world, the ck Demonic Qi that forms the giant serpent is like a pir extending into the heavens. The endless Qi of the Void Sea Domain is being carried and injected into a certain Demon Pce. The Demon Pce is piled with bones; constructed entirely of various creatures¡¯ skulls! Within the pce, two powerful Demon Marshals stand guard outside a hall! Yet within the grand hall, sitting cross-legged on a cushion for meditation, is a little girl emanating ck Demonic Qi! The towering ck column that pierces the world, having devoured countless Void Sea Domain Qi, is now being refined by her! In front of her, a strange sculpture is being revered above her head, the sculpture with six arms but headless, yet holding an imposing aura that dominates everything under heaven! Numerous aether of the void is being refined by her, her presence climbing continuously. Finally, with a quiet boom, her realm broke through once again! The terrifying ck Demonic Qi that prated this world also began to dissipate at this moment. Outside the hall, the two great Demon Marshals finally entered, kneeling respectfully on the ground, and said: Congrattions to the Demon Monarch for reaching a new height, not far from reiming the glory of your invincible past!¡± But, the little girl sneered and said: ¡°What¡¯s there to congratte about reiming past glory?¡± ¡°In this life, I seek to be even stronger!¡± One of them said obsequiously: ¡°With the Immortal King¡¯s support, the Demon Monarch will surely be stronger!¡± The girl snorted and said: ¡°Stop ttering; is there any movement in the ¡®ck and White Realm¡¯?¡± Hearing this, another Demon Marshal spoke gravely: ¡°Reporting to the Demon Monarch, ever since it was opened once a year ago and it seems some things have escaped, it has not been opened again¡¡± The little girl nodded and said: ¡°Keep a close watch on the ck and White Realm for me; it¡¯s the burial ground of the King of ck and White. The opportunity within may be key to my pursuit of the Immortal King in this life¡¡± ¡°For its treasures, I even disregarded the chance to reunite my Primeval Soul!¡± She looked towards a certain ce in the Void Sea Domain. Hearing this, one of the Demon Marshals asked with confusion: ¡°Reunion of the Primeval Soul?¡± The little girl indifferently said: ¡°Yes, I have sensed it, the other seven Primeval Souls have already gathered together¡¡± ¡°Heh, 1 hope that the other me grows up quickly and doesn¡¯t fall behind my pace, otherwise¡ it would be quite uninteresting.¡± Chapter 166 - 150: Reincarnated? The Protagonist? Chapter 166: Chapter 150: Reincarnated? The Protagonist? At this moment, outside the Heavenly Realm, a Void Sea Battleship was steadily approaching this sea domain. This battle ship was enormous, and atop its deck stood a silver-haired elder and a young man, engaged in a game of chess! The elder furrowed his brows tightly, unable to make his move for a long time. The youth, on the other hand, had a hint of disdain and scorn in his eyes. ¡°This is the only way.¡± After much thought, the elder finally ced his piece! ¡°Utterly foolish, you¡¯ve lost.¡± With an icy statement, the young man casually dropped a piece, causing the elder¡¯s expression to stiffen instantly. His path in the game had beenpletely blocked. Without the slightest chance for survival! The elder then stood up, bowed to the young man, and said, ¡°The Saint Heir¡¯s skills in chess are too profound, this old one is no match!¡± Sentiments filled his aged eyes! As expected of the ¡°Son of Two Lives,¡± with astonishing talent and unmatched skill in chess! Even though he was a Great Elder of the Chess Immortal Sect and could be called a Chess Saint within his Sect Gate, he was no more than an antpared to this young man! They hail from the Dingning Realm, from the Chess Immortal Sect! The Dingning Realm is a major world within the Earth Character Realm; the Chess Immortal Sect is a top sect within that world and had a significant standing even in the Immortal Domain! The young man before them was the current Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect, Chen Xuanbei! Chen Xuanbei was originally just a menial disciple of the Chess Immortal Sect, butst year, he suddenly awakened. It turned out that he was a ¡°Person of Two Lives¡±! A ¡°Person of Two Lives¡± refers to a reborn individual! Those who are reborn usually possessed great strength in their past lives, and with rebirth, they gain even greater advantages, bound for meteoric ascent! When Chen Xuanbei awakened the memories of his past life, the Chess Immortal Sect did not hesitate to depose the former Saint Heir and consecrated Chen Xuanbei in that role. Chen Xuanbei did not disappoint their expectations; at his young age, he demonstrated astonishing skill in chess, unbeatable within the Chess Immortal Sect! And he, to temper himself, even proposed wandering the Myriad Realms in search of opponents! The Chess Immortal Sect immediately dispatched the Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan to escort him along the way. ¡°Jiang Li, you useless thing, hurry up and serve the Saint Heir some Spiritual Tea!¡± Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan sighed and then scolded a younger man who was wiping the floor nearby. The Chess Immortal Sect treated Chen Xuanbei like a deity, which meant that every time after a chess game, they needed to prepare Spiritual Tea to rejuvenate him. The young man wiping the floor was d in thin and torn clothes; upon hearing the instruction, he quickly got up to pour tea. He was the former Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect, Jiang Li. Ever since the reborn Chen Xuanbei awakened, he was demoted to Chen Xuanbei¡¯s servant! After a while, Jiang Li came over with the tea, head bowed, eyes full of humiliation. But he said nothing. If one¡¯s skills arecking in this world, that is the original sin! ¡°Forget it, the tea poured by your filthy hands is only good enough to feed to pigs.¡± ¡°Be gone.¡± Chen Xuanbei spoke coldly. Jiang Li¡¯s hands trembled slightly, but he still turned and left. ¡°Remember the words of the Saint Heir, if I tell you to feed it to the pig, dare you spill it secretly, and I¡¯ll chop off your hands!¡± Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan spoke even more severely! This ship indeed harbored a pig. It was Chen Xuanbei¡¯s Spirit-Sensing Pig, capable of locating specific treasures. ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Li spoke and, after finishing, he turned and left. ¡°Saint Heir, truly, none in the Million Lower Realms can stand as your opponent anymore. You should set your sights on the Immortal Domain!¡± Zhou Wenyuan looked towards Chen Xuanbei and respectfully advised. ¡°Do you think you¡¯re qualified to question my decision?¡± Chen Xuanbei, however, scoffed. Zhou Wenyuan immediately fell silent, not daring to say more. He knew that one must never treat a reborn individual as an ordinary person; they were powerful entities in their previous lives, not to be trifled with, and quite possibly, even the Chess Immortal Sect could not afford to provoke them. Meanwhile, Chen Xuanbei gazed towards the world ahead, murmuring, ¡°It¡¯s been a year since I escaped the ck White Realm¡ I hope to find the Boundless Chessboard soon¡¡± He had never revealed his origins to the outside world. ck White Realm! Only he knew that it was a ce of terror, linked to a legendary Immortal King, and he was even more aware that to enter it, one must find an artifact left behind by that Immortal King¡ The Boundless Chessboard! The Boundless Chessboard had been lost in the Lower World¡ His proposal to traverse the Myriad Realms and challenge others was a mere disguise; his real purpose was to find that chessboard. ¡°In myst life, I had ascended to immortality, only to fall in the ck White Realm,¡± ¡°In this life, as Chen Xuanbei reborn, it signifies that I am destined to be the Master of Heaven and Earth!¡± ¡°Throughout history, every reborn individual has been the protagonist!¡± Murmuring to himself, as a reborn person, everything from the ck White Realm was a gift prepared by the heavens for him as the protagonist. ¡°Half a month ago, there was an incredible emanation of chess intent in this Void Sea Domain, seemingly surpassing immortality, even rming the Immortal Domain¡ The Boundless Chessboard should be here¡¡± He pondered. As someone who had escaped from the ck and White Realm, he was very sensitive to the path of chess. Half a month ago, in the Lower World, Zhan Li, a fallen genius of the First Heavenly Realm, had be an entity of will, climbed to the Immortal Domain, ughtered the Holy Golden Immortal Monarch, and caused a sensation across heaven and earth. People did not know the reason, but on that day, he had felt a supreme chess path that shook the Myriad Realms! He was excited, for since ancient times, only one person had possessed that kind of chess path! A legendary figure among the Immortal Kings, the King of ck and White¡. Since the King of ck and White had fallen for several hundred thousand years, that aura must undoubtedly be from his relic, the Boundless Chessboard! It was precisely this thought that drove him to rush to this part of the Void Sea Domain. As he saw himself gradually approaching the world ahead, Chen Xuanbei immediately said: ¡°Have that pig keeper bring out this Young Master¡¯s Spirit-Sensing Pig!¡± The Spirit-Sensing Pig, which he had also brought out from the ck and White Realm, was extremely sensitive to the aura left by the King of ck and White, and he intended to investigate this realm! Jiang Li, carrying the cup of tea, walked woodenly into a cabin. Inside the cabin, another youth was tucking in a ck piglet lying on the bed with a nket! ¡°Damn it, pigs are treated better than humans¡ truly, pigs are treated better than humans!¡± The youth grumbled as he covered the pig with a nket and then fanned a couple of ps towards its ears. The pig simply looked at him coldly, its gaze somewhat eerie. ¡°Wu Dade¡ this is for the pig to drink¡¡± Jiang Li stood outside the cabin, handing over the cup of tea. Wu Dade, who was caring for the pig, took the tea and became even more indignant: ¡°This is Spiritual Tea, and it¡¯s being wasted on feeding a pig!¡± He was an outer sect beast tamer of the Chess Immortal Sect, a position that was lowly, but he had a certain natural talent for taming, and therefore Chen Xuanbei took him along to care for his Spirit-Sensing Pig. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t get mad, just feed it.¡± Jiang Li spoke. ¡°Jiang Li, I mean you were once a Saint Heir, howe you¡¯ve ended up like this? Letting people step all over you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have any fire in you?¡± As Wu Dade held the tea, feeding it to the pitch-ck piglet, he turned to Jiang Li and said: But Jiang Li just sighed and said: ¡°Chen Xuanbei is a being of two lifetimes, with astounding chess skills. Looking across the Million Lower Realms, I fear no one can match him¡ I, I can only be stepped on by him¡.¡± In his eyes, there was unwillingness, desire, but more so despair. The other¡¯s chess skills were too lofty, so high that he would spend his lifetime unable to even look up to them! ¡°That guy has talent but no virtue, he won¡¯tst long. Haven¡¯t you seen? Ever since he became the Saint Heir, he has yed around with every slightly attractive female disciple in our sect¡.¡± Wu Dade said somewhat painfully: ¡°Including my goddess, who I¡¯ve never even spoken a word to!¡± Suddenly, he turned around, grabbed Jiang Li¡¯s hand, and said: ¡°You¡¯ve got to try your hardest, Jiang Li. You¡¯re a good person, I can¡¯t be wrong about that. Heaven will take care of you, and then you can take a good swing at them for me!¡± ¡°My life is over with just raising pigs and dogs, I can¡¯t do anything else¡.¡± Jiang Li¡¯s expression wasplex, but he said nothing. Heaven¡¯s favor? Was there still a chance? ¡°The Saint Heir wants the Spirit-Sensing Pig, hurry up and bring it out!¡± Right then, a disciple came to ry the message from the outside. ¡°Coming.¡± Wu Dade immediately carried the ck piglet and, along with Jiang Li, walked out. Upon reaching the deck, Chen Xuanbei took the Spirit-Sensing Pig and gently ced his hand on the piglet¡¯s forehead. The ck piglet immediately started sniffing voraciously, and due to its breath, fine ripples appeared in the Void Sea Domain! The next moment, suddenly, the pig¡¯s eyes bulged! It made ¡°thump, munch, thump, munch¡± noises towards that particr world in front, as if seeing some delicious pig food! And in that instant, Chen Xuanbei¡¯s pupils shrank, and his face broke out into an expression of great joy! ¡°Right there in front?! Excellent!¡± He cried out: ¡°Dock at the world ahead, send the message notifying this realm¡ Chen Xuanbei hase to challenge!¡± The Spirit-Sensing Pig¡¯s behavior¡ signified that what he was looking for was indeed in this realm! He clenched his fists in secret! An opportunity had finally arrived? My era as Chen Xuanbei ising! Chen Xuanbei was set to be the protagonist of this era! His heart surged! And the Great Elder himself stepped forward to send the message to this realm! Within the barrier of the Heavenly Realm. A few Heavenly Immortals responsible for observing the outside domain received the message unfolding outside, and their faces immediately turned pale. They hastened towards Xuan Tianzhou! To go and report! Chapter 167 - 151: Threatening the Heavenly Realmi Chapter 167: Chapter 151: Threatening the Heavenly Realmi Heavenly Realm. Not even a month had passed, and the Immortal Spirit Qi of this world had already be increasingly rich. Especially in Xuan Tianzhou. And the elites from all states had already been assembled by the Xuantian Alliance, cultivating in Xuantian State. Progressing very quickly. Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning¡¯s cultivation levels were already close to reaching the Complete Realm of a Golden Immortal. The two of them were greatly blessed by Li Fan, with each visit allowing them to drink Enlightenment Tea, eat Pan Peaches, Holy Medicine, etc., so their talents had already be invincible. Moreover, the casual advice Li Fan gave from time to time allowed them to far surpass ordinary people. At this moment, they were discussing matters with the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others. Now that the Heavenly Realm regarded Senior Li, the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, with reverence, managing such a huge team required a lot of thought and effort. ¡°Report to the Alliance Hierarch, a Void Sea Battleship was suddenly discovered outside the domain, and it¡¯s approaching the Heavenly Realm!¡± Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the Taiyan Holy Land. Upon hearing this, people like Fire Spirit in the Taiyan Holy Land all stepped out. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Friend or foe?¡± Fire Spirit asked. Ever since the great battle with the Diming Realm had urred, for caution, the Heavenly Realm had arranged for people to guard inside the realm barrier, constantly watching the situation outside the domain. ¡°We still don¡¯t know! But the other side has sent a message saying that theye from Dingning Realm and want to enter the Heavenly Realm, iming that they are¡ here to challenge someone to a game of chess!¡± ¡°They want to challenge all the chess yers of our Xuantian Realm!¡± The messenger spoke up. Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, among others, were all puzzled. Looking for someone to y chess? What¡¯s this situation? ¡°Dingning Realm¡ I¡¯ve never heard of this realm before.¡± Fire Spirit murmured to herself. The Yuanyang Holy Lord then made a suggestion: ¡°Alliance Hierarch, since the other side has only one battleship and has specifically stated that they are here to find opponents, why not let theme in and see what they are really up to?¡± Fire Spirit nodded and said, ¡°Let them in.¡± ¡°Also, go immediately to invite the Three Chess Saints of Tianyan from the Difeng Realm, Miss Mu Chenxi of the Xuanzhen Sect, as well as Little Chess Saint Lu Xing from the Earth Yuan Realm, and Xiao Yan from Huangtian State!¡± Since the other party hade to challenge the path of chess, they certainly needed to find experts to face them! Last time in Huangtian State¡¯s chess game, a group of top-notch chess yers emerged, who could now be put to good use. ¡°At yourmand!¡± A few subordinates left immediately. Outside the realm barrier. A Golden Immortal walked out of the realm barrier and extended a hand, saying: ¡°By order, I invite you all to enter the Heavenly Realm!¡± Upon hearing this, the Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan on the Chess Immortal Sect battleship immediately furrowed his brows! ¡°The Heavenly Realm? Such audacity!¡± They came from a grand world within the Earth Character Realm and knew more about the matters of the First Heavenly Realm. That ce was a taboo¡ªhow dare such an insignificant, outlying small realm call itself the Heavenly Realm without fearing death? However, upon hearing these two words, Chen Xuanbei¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Worthy of the ce I was looking for! There must be something special!¡± Muttering to himself, he immediately said, ¡°Let¡¯s go inside!¡± The battleship instantly sailed into the realm barrier. ¡°No, there¡¯s something unusual about this realm¡ How could such a small world have such rich Immortal Spirit Qi?¡± Just after passing through the realm barrier, Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan¡¯s old face immediately shed with astonishment. The aura here¡ was far from simple! The richness of the Immortal Spirit Qi here was almost catching up to their Dingning Realm! However, one must understand that Dingning Realm was a grand world within the Earth Character Realm. It was second only to the existence of the Three Great Heavenly Realms. ¡°It¡¯s interesting because it¡¯s strange!¡± Chen Xuanbei, however, was even more excited. After obtaining that Boundless Chessboard, he could also take over this realm and make it the first realm where he established his teachings! All of this was a gift prepared by heaven for him, the protagonist. What is called the Child of Destiny? He is the Child of Destiny! ¡°Sirs, within the Heavenly Realm, two Alliance Hierarchs from the Xuantian Alliance preside over the major affairs, please follow me.¡± At that moment, the Golden Immortal leading the way spoke up. They then followed the Golden Immortal towards Xuan Tianzhou. Xuan Tianzhou. At this moment, many experts within the Taiyan Holy Land were already on high alert and ready for battle. The Three Great Chess Saints of Tianyan, Mu Chenxi, Little Chess Saint Lu Xing, as well as Xiao Yan of Huangtian State, who had made a name for himselfst time, had all been invited. Little Chess Saint Lu Xing still had snow-white hair, looking like an old man. Last time, he had spent his life force and was unable to recover it. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was filled with anticipation. ¡°I am the protagonist of this world!¡± ¡°Although I lost to Lu Rangst time, that was because he had backing!¡± ¡°This time, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well. With Elder Yang¡¯s help, I will surely triumph. Then¡ I will most likely be noticed by the Lord of the Heavenly Realm!¡± ¡°By then, I will still be the protagonist of this world¡ There is only one protagonist in this world, and it¡¯s me!¡± He pondered in his heart. Ever since his setback in Huangtian Statest time, he had been looking for an opportunity. To meet with the Supreme Being behind Lu Rang and Dugu Yuqing. He believed that just one meeting, as someone destined to be the protagonist, would garner the favor of the Supreme Being and take him on as a disciple. This challenge to the Heavenly Realm was a good opportunity. He had to seize it well! Meanwhile, the others were discussing. ¡°Heh, it¡¯s said that the people who havee this time actually want to challenge the Heavenly Realm¡¯s chess path?¡± Chess Saint Bai Yizi sneered, ¡°They¡¯re truly seeking death.¡± ¡°Indeed, the chess path in the Heavenly Realm is definitely considered good among the Million Lower Realms. The other party has kicked an iron te.¡± ¡°Let them witness our strength!¡± The rest also spoke up. ¡°Guests from the Dingning Realm have arrived!¡± At that moment, a loud call rose. The Void Sea Battleship had arrived. The Mountain Protection Array of Taiyan Holy Land immediately opened wide! The Void Sea Battleshipsnded at once, and the group from the Chess Immortal Sect set foot at the mountain entrance of the Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Saint Heir, this realm is not simple, and Xuan Tianzhou even less so. The Immortal Spirit Qi here can fullypare to our Dingning Realm¡ something is amiss, you must be cautious!¡± The Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan once again cautioned. He was rather prudent. ¡°Rest assured, all is well. Besides, in this realm, there isn¡¯t even a Taiyi Golden Immortal, what is there to fear?¡± Chen Xuanbei was quite casual about it. In his eyes, this realm was immensely rich, yet the natives were weaker than the next. Had it not been for the need to first locate the whereabouts of the Boundless Chessboard, he would have simply liked to have Zhou Wenyuan, with his Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation level, annihte this realm to facilitate his takeover. Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenyuan nodded in agreement, perhaps thinking he had been too cautious. Without further ado, Chen Xuanbei stepped forward, Zhou Wenyuan and several elders following behind him, with the disposed Saint Heir Jiang Li and Wu Dade, holding a ck piglet, also approaching. ¡°Who might be in charge here?¡± Zhou Wenyuan immediately looked towards the people of Taiyan Holy Land. Fire Spirit came forward to receive them. The Yuanyang Holy Lord began introducing: ¡°These two are the Alliance Hierarch Fire Spirit, the Divine Maiden, and Mu Qianning, the Divine Maiden of the Xuantian Alliance. May I ask where our esteemed guestse from and what brings you here?¡± Zhou Wenyuan said indifferently: ¡°I am Zhou Wenyuan, the Great Elder of the Dingning Realm Chess Immortal Sect. This man here is our sect¡¯s Saint Heir, Chen Xuanbei!¡± He gestured towards Chen Xuanbei and said, ¡°Our Saint Heir is unmatched in chess skills, having no rivals in the Dingning Realm, hence he has searched all the heavens, solely to seek a worthy opponent.¡± ¡°Today, passing through this realm, we specificallye to challenge the chess yers of this realm!¡± ¡°Should anyone be able to defeat our sect¡¯s Saint Heir by half a move, these will be yours.¡± He waved his hand, and two elders behind him took out tworge, gilded chests from their spatial rings! Upon opening them, various treasures were revealed! Including Spiritual Medicines that emitted a misty and fragrant aura, Magical Treasures that exuded powerful Immortal Path force, and Superior-grade Immortal Spirit Stones! The value was immense! The people of Xuan Tianzhou, upon seeing this, were all taken aback! ¡°To challenge the yers of myriad realms¡ what grandeur!¡± ¡°Being able to offer so many treasures at once, they must definitelye from a major world.¡± ¡°If only we could win those treasures, that would be wonderful.¡± Everyone began to speak. But the Yuanyang Holy Lord furrowed his brows and said: ¡°What if we lose?¡± He thought ahead, considering defeat rather than victory. After all, if Chen Xuanbei had the boldness to challenge chess yers from many worlds, he must have extraordinary ability. Naturally, the people of Xuan Tianzhou all understood¡ loss was impossible, for the Lord of the Heavenly Realm could direct a chess game that could render one immortal¡ But one cannot trouble such a great being with every little thing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, our sect¡¯s Saint Heir merely seeks a battle. If you¡¯re defeated, there won¡¯t be any issue¡¡± Zhou Wenyuan immediately spoke up. However, before he could finish, Chen Xuanbei already responded with a faint smile: ¡°If no one can defeat me, then henceforth follow me and be my servants. This realm will acknowledge me as its master¡ª¡± Before arriving in this realm, there was indeed no penalty for losing a game of chess with him. But that was because those Lower Worlds simply had nothing he deemed worth his attention, what use would it be to take them? However, this realm was different. It was highly likely that the Boundless Chessboard was hidden here, and the presence of such dense Immortal Spirit Qi¡ was destined to be the ce of fortune and realization for himself! A gift bestowed by the heavens, how could he not take it? At these words, everyone in the room was shocked! ¡°What arrogance! The Yuanyang Holy Lord immediately shouted coldly! ¡°Lord of the Heavenly Realm? You think you¡¯re worthy?!¡± ¡°Audacious fool, to think we would be your ves? Dream on!¡± ¡°Who do you think you are?!¡± The people of Xuan Tianzhou all shouted angrily in unison! He acted high and mighty,pletely overbearing. And he dared to aspire to be the Lord of the Heavenly Realm?! Those four words, for the beings of the present-day Heavenly Realm, were akin to a faith! Such arrogance by the other party was utterly intolerable sphemy and offense to all the people of the Heavenly Realm. Even Mu Qianning, at this moment, flushed with anger and eximed: ¡°Detestable!¡± Including Zhou Wenyuan, the Great Elder of the Chess Immortal Sect, everyone seemed taken aback as he said: ¡°Saint Heir, you¡¡± Chen Xuanbei coldly retorted, ¡°What, are you questioning my decision?¡± Zhou Wenyuan was immediately startled and replied: ¡°How dare l!¡± ¡°Rest assured, Saint Heir, this realm belongs to no one but you, you will undoubtedly be the lord of this realm!¡± He thought to himself, if it came to worst, they could simply kill everyone and present the realm as a gift to the Saint Heir! He must not displease the Saint Heir; this was a reborn being! Chen Xuanbei regarded Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning with a cold smile and said: ¡°Two beauties, rest assured, following me, I will make your lives blissful to the end.¡± ¡°To follow me is also your good fortune.¡± Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes darkened, the other party was simply too much! ¡°Such a wager is hardly fair!¡± Fire Spirit said: ¡°You win, and you get to own the Heavenly Realm, but if you lose you just have to give up those treasures?¡± Chen Xuanbei arrogantly replied: ¡°What do you think would be fair? Name your terms.¡± He was dismissive, for it was a sure win in any case. Fire Spirit stared at him, and said word by word: ¡°If you lose, you die!¡± Die! Chapter 168 - 152: Chess Path Duel l Chapter 168: Chapter 152: Chess Path Duel l If you lose, you die! Fire Spirit¡¯s words silenced everyone in the arena. ¡°How dare you!¡± Great Elder Zhou Wenyuan immediately spoke out in anger, sternly saying: ¡°Do you wish to die?¡± How dare they speak to the Saint Heir like this?! The few Chess Immortal Sect elders behind him also released a strong aura, though somewhat subtle! But Chen Xuanbei simply waved his hand, blocking them, and scoffed: ¡°Die? Hehe, do you have the strength to back up your words?¡± ¡°I ept your challenge!¡± He epted the challenge! He had no fear whatsoever! Having escaped from the ck and White Realm, he was already confident that his path of chess was invincible under heaven and above earth! Everyone from the Heavenly Realm took a sharp breath! ¡°Good, this old man will battle with you!¡± Among the Three Chess Saints of Tianyan, Bai Yizi spoke first, ready to take action! Upon seeing this, Chen Xuanbei simply sneered: ¡°You? Defeat my servant first before you talk.¡± He pointed at Jiang Li and said, ¡°Wretch, go y chess with these ants!¡± So high above! Upon hearing these words, everyone from the Heavenly Realm was enraged, unable to contain their anger! This was too insulting. Bai Yizi was the leader of the Three Chess Saints of Tianyan, a senior after all. But Chen Xuanbei had the audacity to let his servant deal with Bai Yizi? ¡°You¡ you! This is bullying too far, too far!¡± Bai Yizi was unable to contain his anger. ¡°Don¡¯t get angry. It¡¯s not that I look down on you; it¡¯s just that you truly aren¡¯t qualified.¡± Chen Xuanbei scoffed, then turned to look at Jiang Li, saying, ¡°Wretch, aren¡¯t youing?¡± Jiang Li¡¯s fists clenched tightly, only to slowly release them again. His face was pale. Humiliated in front of everyone from both realms¡ ¡°Once, when I was a Saint Heir, I never bullied others, I never vited the natural order, I treated people with kindness and benevolence. Why has heaven subjected me to such humiliation¡¡± His mind was filled with immense sadness. But he could only step forward. ¡°Senior¡ please!¡± He looked at Bai Yizi. Bai Yizi, unaware of Jiang Li¡¯s identity, only saw him as a servant, immediately said in anger: ¡°Fine, fine! I want to see what gives you the arrogance to act this way!¡± ¡°Set up the board!¡± Soon, the chess game was prepared! Both parties sat opposite each other. Bai Yizi and Jiang Li each took their ces at the board. ¡°Senior goes first, please make the opening move¡ª¡± Jiang Li spoke, his voice still respectful despite having been humiliated. But when he sat down before the chessboard, he calmed his heart and forgot the recent disgrace, abiding by the etiquette of the path of chess! But Bai Yizi was still angry, saying: ¡°You, a mere ve, if I make the opening move, wouldn¡¯t it be an insult to me?¡± Jiang Li sighed and said no more, starting with the ck pieces. Bai Yizi immediately followed, cing his pieces on the board. After only a dozen moves, Bai Yizi felt a shock in his heart. ¡°Something¡¯s not right; this kid¡¯s chess skill¡ it seems, to be somewhat impressive!¡± He was a bit surprised. By the twentieth move, Bai Yizi was extremely solemn! Because Jiang Li¡¯s momentum was unifying as if to swallow mountains and rivers! On the twenty-fifth move, Jiang Li reminded him: ¡°Senior, please be careful; this junior is about to y the ¡®Central ins¡¯.¡± At these words, Bai Yizi¡¯s heart tensed. On inspection, the opponent¡ indeed had already upied therger part of the board! ¡°No¡¡± He was unwilling, wracking his brain to find a defense! But on the thirty-second move, there was no more road to travel, and he had to give up and stand up, shaking, saying: ¡°I¡ I¡¯ve lost!¡± As he spoke, he couldn¡¯t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood! He never imagined that one day he would be cornered with no way out by a junior within thirty-two moves! This¡ this was a great humiliation! ¡°The junior had luck on his side! Senior, please don¡¯t be upset¡¡± Jiang Li got up, wanting tofort Bai Yizi. But Bai Yizi staggered back, saying: ¡°Get away! You are nothing but someone¡¯s servant¡ I lost, but you won¡¯t humiliate me!¡± The other two remaining Chess Saints hurriedly supported him. Hearing this, Jiang Li¡¯s face twitched slightly, a wave of difort in his heart, but he said nothing and silently sat down. Meanwhile, Chen Xuanbei coldly watched Jiang Li and said: ¡°Dog servant, don¡¯t tter yourself. Don¡¯t think I can¡¯t see that with your chess strength, you let that insect have a nine-move advantage. If you dare waste any more of my time, I¡¯ll have you killed.¡± Upon hearing this, everyone from the Heavenly Realm was somewhat shocked. Had Jiang Li given Bai Yizi a nine-move advantage just now? Was it true or false? If it was true, that would be terrifying¡ One of the three Chess Saints turned to Mu Chenxi: ¡°Miss Mu, among the three of us, Brother Bai was the strongest. If he was no match for the opponent, there¡¯s no need for us to y. The rest is up to you, Miss.¡± Mu Chenxi nodded and said: ¡°I¡¯ve studied formations, and my chess is merely passable, but I will certainly try my best.¡± She immediately came forward to face Jiang Li in the game. ¡°Miss, please make the first move¡ª¡± Jiang Li continued, still following the ceremonial etiquette of chess. This time, Mu Chenxi didn¡¯t hold back. She yed the ck piece, upying the upper-right corner star point. Jiang Li followed by cing his piece. This time, it wasn¡¯t until the forty-first move that Jiang Li spoke: ¡°Miss¡¯s chess skill is indeed profound. Thank you for going easy.¡± After speaking, he ced his final piece. Mu Chenxi gazed at the chessboard for a long while, only able to sigh deeply and say: ¡°I¡¯ve lost.¡± She rose and stepped back! Another loss for them! All those from the Heavenly Realm were now under immense pressure! At the Dingning Realm Chess Immortal Sect, when Jiang Li won the game, Chen Xuanbei didn¡¯t have any words of praise, but rather said coldly, ¡°I warned you not to waste my time. Do you think you could fool me by intentionally ignoring her seven ws?¡± ¡°Someone, p his face, teach this disobedient dog of a ve a lesson!¡± Upon hearing this, the Great Elder, Zhou Wenyuan, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Li. ¡°You dog of a ve, dare to disobey the Saint Heir¡¯smand!¡± He fiercely pped Jiang Li over a dozen times, and only when Jiang Li¡¯s mouth was dripping with blood did he let go! Seeing this scene, everyone from the Heavenly Realm was also shocked by the unexpected turn of events. ¡°This person won two rounds for them, yet they treat him like this¡¡± ¡°It seems to be true, this person really gave Chess Saint and Mu Chenxi many advantages? But why would he do this?¡± ¡°That Chen fellow is really too harsh on his servant!¡± Even the people from the opposing Heavenly Realm found it difficult to watch! After all, although Jiang Li was an adversary, he had the bearing of a schr, observing the utmost in courtesies. At this moment, one of the Three Chess Saints of Tianyan spoke, ¡°s, if an opponent is too weak, a stronger yer should concede five moves or more, to spare the opponent¡¯s face, as is the ancient etiquette of chess. Who would have thought that this mere ve would actually abide by the old traditions¡ how unexpected¡¡± Upon hearing this, the people from the Heavenly Realm were all taken aback. The other side¡ was really giving leeway? This time, everyone was extremely solemn! This Jiang Li¡ is but a ve¡ Yet he is so powerful¡ And what about Chen Xuanbei? What level of skill must he possess in chess? How can they continue the game? ¡°I will go.¡± At this moment, Little Chess Saint Lu Xing spoke! With his full head of white hair and a wrinkled face, his eyes nevertheless remained calm as he stepped forward. ¡°With the Little Chess Saint taking action, perhaps he can defeat him!¡± Everyone looked at Lu Xing expectantly. Lu Xing took his seat. Upon seeing Lu Xing, Jiang Li actually felt some sympathy, saying, ¡°Brother¡ have you ever experienced an ¡®Endurance of Life Match¡¯?¡± He could tell that Lu Xing had drained his vitality! This¡ is generally only seen in those who have faced extremely difficult matches that required one to endure at the brink of life. ¡°I have.¡± In Lu Xing¡¯s brow, there seemed a kind of pent-up energy that could not be dissipated. He extended his hand, somberly saying, ¡°I am the host, you are the guest, you y first¡ª¡± This time, Jiang Li did not refuse. He took the ck pieces. Both sides continued to y their moves. All the way to the forty-fifth move! The game was fiercely contended, neck and neck! At the forty-sixth move, Jiang Li found a mistake in Lu Xing¡¯s y. But after hesitating for a moment, he did not take the attack. Instead, he relinquished a great advantage of the game! ¡°You damned ve.¡± With a wave of his hand from Chen Xuanbei, Zhou Wenyuan immediately stepped forward andshed Jiang Li across the back with a whip! The iron whip instantly left a bloody gash across Jiang Li¡¯s back! ¡°For every move you give him, you will endure one more whip!¡± Chen Xuanbei¡¯s voice was as cold as ice! Yet, Jiang Li clenched his teeth and remained silent. Lu Xing looked at Jiang Li with surprise. ¡°Please, continue!¡± Jiang Li said through gritted teeth. Lu Xing said nothing and resumed the game. But soon after, Jiang Li took another brutalsh! The third whip! The fourth whip! The seventh whip! The game went on past seventy moves! Jiang Li¡¯s back was already a bloody mess! By the nieth move, it was nearly a tie, with neither side able to im victory! And on Jiang Li¡¯s back were the marks of neenshes, battered and bruised! At this moment, the game was a draw! Lu Xing took a deep breath as he looked over the board, feeling a sense of relief. The heaviness on his brow seemed to lighten a bit. He turned to Jiang Li, unable to restrain himself and said, ¡°Why did you do this? You already won¡¡± ¡°Brother, you are troubled by chess, your life hanging by a thread¡ If you find some sce in this game, perhaps you can live¡ a little longer!¡± Jiang Li said, every word deliberate, ¡°You and I¡ are on par!¡± He tried to smile. But blood instantly flowed from the corners of his mouth! Upon hearing this, Lu Xing was profoundly shaken! Looking deeply at Jiang Li, he suddenly bowed deeply and said, ¡°A chess friend with a Saint¡¯s benevolent heart, Lu Xing¡ is convinced.¡± It came straight from his soul! Seeing this, people from the Heavenly Realm exchanged nces! ¡°This young man¡ although a ve, has the heart of a hero¡¡± ¡°Adhering to the etiquette of the path of chess is rare, a pity that he is an adversary!¡± ¡°s, why would such a talent be born in a cruel Sect Gate like the Chess Immortal Sect?¡± The Heavenly Realm people couldn¡¯t help but sigh! At this moment, Chen Xuanbei said even more chillingly, ¡°Kill him!¡± ¡°If he wants to die, let¡¯s fulfill his wish!¡± To him, Chen Xuanbei, Jiang Li was nothing more than an object to torment, providing a bit of pleasure! Now the man dared to disregard hismands, over and over! Then, let him be killed! Without hesitation upon hearing the order, Zhou Wenyuan stepped forward with a murderous aura, readying to strike Jiang Li with a palm! ¡°Brat, you brought this upon yourself!¡± With that palm strike, thunder roared and the power was formidable! Jiang Li was almost certain to die! ¡°Wait!¡± Just then, Fire Spirit suddenly spoke, stepping forward.. In her hand, a vision of Li Tian Divine Pce appeared, blocking Zhou Wenyuan¡¯s strike! Chapter 169 - 153 Who is the Protagonist? ! Chapter 169: Chapter 153 Who is the Protagonist? ! Fire Spirit acted, blocking Zhou Wenyuan¡¯s fatal attack. Suddenly, everyone at the scene was stunned. ¡°I, the Chess Immortal Sect, am cleansing our ranks. Do you seek to obstruct us?¡± Zhou Wenyuan¡¯s voice was piercing cold! Let alone a mere minor world, even in the Dingning Realm, no one dared to interfere with the affairs of the Chess Immortal Sect. However, Fire Spirit retorted coldly: ¡°The affairs of the Chess Immortal Sect are not my concern, but this person, our Heavenly Realm, shall protect him!¡± She looked toward Jiang Li and said: ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance. Join our Heavenly Realm and sever ties with your original sect!¡± The tragic fate of Jiang Li and his mastery of chess moved both her and Mu Qianning topassion. After discussing it, they decided to save him. Another reason they dared to do this was¡ Senior Li had told them that he needed a few more disciples! Upon deliberation, they considered Jiang Li to be a perfect candidate. No sooner had Fire Spirit made her statement than everyone at the scene was extremely surprised. She actually wanted to save Jiang Li? ¡°How presumptuous! You think you can protect someone the Chess Immortal Sect wants to kill?!¡± Zhou Wenyuan was seething with dark rage. This was a direct challenge to the dignity of the Chess Immortal Sect. At this moment, even if Saint Heir Chen Xuanbei did not speak, he nheless feltpelled to annihte this realm. Only by doing so could they preserve the face of the Chess Immortal Sect! Upon hearing this, Jiang Li was momentarily taken aback but then sighed and spoke: ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, Alliance Hierarch, but life and death are no longer of concern to Jiang Li. Your esteemed realm need not invite bloodshed over someone as insignificant as myself¡¡± Just now, his heart had indeed wavered. But could the Heavenly Realm really protect him? It was impossible. In the face of the Chess Immortal Sect, such a minor world could be snuffed out in an instant. Agreeing to Fire Spirit would only drag the Heavenly Realm into ughter. Yet Fire Spirit spoke indifferently: ¡°If you fear the Chess Immortal Sect, then let me tell you that in the Heavenly Realm, you need not worry about anyone or any force!¡± She was brimming with confidence! Lu Xing also spoke up, saying: ¡°Brother, why cling to the Chess Immortal Sect? Come to the Heavenly Realm, and you will find better prospects for development!¡± Seeing the resolute confidence on Fire Spirit¡¯s face and hearing Lu Xing¡¯s persuasion, Jiang Li wavered once more! Could it be that the Heavenly Realm truly had some trump card that could stand up to the Chess Immortal Sect? ¡°Damn it, what is Jiang Li waiting for? Hurry up and join them!¡± It was then, from within the ranks of the Chess Immortal Sect, that Wu Dade, holding a ck piglet, couldn¡¯t help but blurt out. He had already clenched his teeth in anger when he saw Jiang Li being pped and whipped earlier; now, the Chess Immortal Sect even intended to kill Jiang Li, and he could no longer contain himself; he boldly spoke up! At his words, onlookers from both sides were momentarily taken aback. What was this situation? Why was there someone from the Chess Immortal Sect urging Jiang Li to defect? ¡°Wu Dade, you swineherd, how dare you speak up here? Are you seeking death?!¡± Zhou Wenyuan instantly turned his head and roared furiously! If Wu Dade hadn¡¯t been raising pigs for the Saint Heir Chen Xuanbei, he would have really wanted to kill him with one p. Chen Xuanbei also gave Wu Dade a cold nce! Feeling the res from Zhou Wenyuan and Chen Xuanbei, Wu Dade¡¯s heart trembled, and he calmed down. Damn it¡ He seemed to have acted¡ impulsively, rashly! It was all over¡ Without containing himself, he had let it slip out¡ At this juncture, he was extremely nervous and made a desperate bid, stepping forward and saying to Fire Spirit: ¡°Alliance Hierarchs, may I¡ may I join with Jiang Li in defecting to you? I¡ I may not be good at chess and might be utterly useless, but I can raise pigs and dogs¡ I can raise anything¡¡± Upon hearing this, even Fire Spirit was momentarily taken aback. ¡°You¡ you¡¯re really a pig farmer?¡± At this moment, a woman in the Heavenly Realm suddenly spoke in astonishment, seemingly incredulous. The speaker was Xia Yao! Her face wore an odd smile as she said: ¡°Who said you¡¯d be useless? Raising pigs¡ maybe you¡¯ll stumble upon a great opportunity!¡± Fire Spirit pondered for a moment, then said: ¡°That¡¯s eptable.¡± After all, saving one is saving, and saving two is still saving! Upon hearing this, Wu Dade was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he threw the ck piglet he was holding onto the ground, grabbed Jiang Li, and said: ¡°Hurry up and go. The Chess Immortal Sect is out to kill you, are you waiting to die?¡± Jiang Li, somewhat bewildered, was pulled into the ranks of the Heavenly Realm by Wu Dade, still somewhat in a daze. Had he just defected from the Chess Immortal Sect like this? ¡°How dare you!¡± Zhou Wenyuan was furious to the extreme and said: ¡°It seems your realm wishes to dere war against my Chess Immortal Sect, does it?!¡± His terrifying aura as a Taiyi Golden Immortal was released in full! In an instant, the countless cultivators in the area were almost unable to breathe under the pressure of his aura! However, Fire Spirit and the others remained calm. Taiyi Golden Immortal? If this had been in the past, they indeed might have been forced into a hopeless despair. But now¡ this was no longer anything out of the ordinary. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± At this time, it was Chen Xuanbei who, with a gloomy expression, said: ¡°Finish the game of chess first, then we talk!¡± Jiang Li and Wu Dade had angered him greatly. But annihting the entire Heavenly Realm was not what he wanted. He sought aplete Heavenly Realm and the Boundless Chessboard hidden within it. ¡°Two useless people, it makes no difference to give them to you,¡± Chen Xuanbei said coldly as he looked at Fire Spirit: ¡°Now, may we continue the game of chess from before? Our wager still stands, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Fire Spirit said: ¡°Of course!¡± She looked towards Xiao Yan! At present, Xiao Yan was the only one who had not yet made a move. His skill in chess was also the strongest within the limits of Huangtian State, able to break through four chess games at that time! Xiao Yan, at this moment, also showed a hint of a cold smile in his eyes. Finally, it was his turn! He stepped forward calmly. ¡°Come then, I, Xiao Yan, shall defeat you!¡± Xiao Yan looked towards Chen Xuanbei! Chen Xuanbei sneered and said, ¡°You think you can?¡± He stepped forward. Both parties began to y chess. ¡°Elder Yang, lend me your strength!¡± Xiao Yan whispered softly. The voice of Yang Miechen resounded inside him, directing Xiao Yan¡¯s moves one by one. Xiao Yan immediately began to ce his pieces. Chen Xuanbei, holding the white pieces, made his moves with casual ease. Soon, the two had yed more than a dozen moves! ¡°Huh? This person can actually y more than a dozen moves against the Saint Heir without losing?¡± Zhou Wenyuan was surprised. You see, even within the Chess Immortal Sect, there are no more than ten people who can y up to a dozen moves with Chen Xuanbei! This native of Xuan Tianzhou actually has quite the talent! At this moment, Xiao Yan was also somewhat taken aback. Only a dozen moves in, and he could feel that Elder Yang¡¯s time for contemtion was distinctly getting longer! ¡°Impossible¡ I am the protagonist of this world; I even have a golden finger. Who could possibly be my opponent?¡± He muttered to himself but still felt a bit worried and couldn¡¯t help saying: ¡°Elder Yang, is it possible to defeat him?¡± Inside him, Yang Miechen said: ¡°Kid, the Chess Immortal Sect is one of the branches of the Regretless Immortal City in the Lower World, established by the Central Immortal Domain. The path of chess has some reputation in the Immortal Domain. This person is the Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect; whether or not he can be defeated, I am not certain¡¡± Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan¡¯s face looked rather unsightly. Am I really the protagonist? He was increasingly doubting it. Why is it that every time I¡¯m about to shine, something goes wrong? On the other side, Chen Xuanbei¡¯s eyes also flickered with surprise. ¡°This native can actually y over a dozen moves against me?¡± You must know that he is an Immortal reincarnated into a new life, destined to be the protagonist! He immediately became serious! He yed a few more moves of chess. ¡°You¡¯re too weak!¡± Chen Xuanbei finally spoke coldly as thest piece fell! The game was set! ¡°Ah, this child¡¯s chess skill is too terrifying. Kid, you should admit defeat. I¡¯ve been thoroughly trapped¡¡± Yang Miechen¡¯s resigned voice came out as he murmured: ¡°I never thought that in the Lower World, there would be such a strong chess yer¡ Inconceivable.¡± Xiao Yan¡¯s face became extremely unsightly. Is this really how I¡¯m going to lose? He was unwilling, but Elder Yang had already spoken, and he himself was clueless about the path of chess. ¡°I¡ I lost!¡± He said through clenched teeth, filled with a sense of humiliation. As the protagonist, he had lost yet again! Thest time, he lost to a horrifying entity, which he could ept, but this time he lost to a young man¡ He felt an intense desire to beat his chest in frustration! ¡°Ants.¡± Chen Xuanbei let out a scornfulugh, dismissively saying: ¡°In this Heavenly Realm, is there anyone else daring to challenge me?¡± ¡°No one can defeat me, you all, it¡¯s time to honor your promises!¡± He looked at Fire Spirit and enunciated every word: ¡°Submit to me!¡± Everyone in the Heavenly Realm looked solemn indeed! ¡°Alliance Hierarch, let¡¯s fight him!¡± At this time, Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke with a grave voice! The Heavenly Realm absolutely could not yield so easily. ¡°Heh, I¡¯m giving you a chance now, don¡¯t take it for granted.¡± But Chen Xuanbeiughed coldly, appearing so arrogant: ¡°If you wish to resist, I don¡¯t mind wiping out this entire realm.¡± As he spoke, he suddenly took out a chess piece from his sleeve! It was a white piece, ancient and mottled, as if it had been weathered in the river of time for tens of thousands of years! On the white chess piece, a terrifying aura was faintly emitted, surpassing everything, causing the surrounding space to seem to twist with it! At this moment, everyone present was shocked. They all had a feeling that if this piece were to be yed, perhaps a million Lower Worlds would be annihted. Utterly terrifying! ¡°What, what kind of chess piece is this?!¡± ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m facing¡ facing a Supreme being?¡± ¡°This¡ it even makes me feel, for a moment, an aura that could be on par with Senior Li?¡± For a moment, the Yuanyang Holy Lord, Dugu Chenlu, and the others were greatly shaken. ¡°I know you have some treasures on you.¡± Chen Xuanbei sneered, looking at Fire Spirit. The moment Fire Spirit managed to withstand Zhou Wenyuan¡¯s attack at the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal with just a Golden Immortal¡¯s full cultivation, he had already felt it. But he simply didn¡¯t care! ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that all your treasures, in front of me, are just children¡¯s toys, understand?¡± ¡°Submissive surrender to me is the greatest opportunity of your lives!¡± His confidence soared to the extreme, as if he were the center of all beings, high above! And at this moment, Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning, and the others felt the burden in their hearts! The aura emanating from that white chess piece¡ was just too terrifying. Fire Spirit felt that even the hairpin she possessed might not be of higher grade than that chess piece. After all, the hairpin was made out of mere scraps. The Li Tian Divine Pce might be able to contend with it, but her strength wasn¡¯t enough to invoke the full power of the Li Tian Divine Pce! She hesitated. ¡°The twodies¡ Chen Xuanbei, is¡ a reborn individual!¡± Just then, Jiang Li spoke up, sighing: ¡°Reborn individuals are mysterious and unfathomable, with an inconceivable past life¡ whether it¡¯s chess or anything else, no one canpete with them!¡± Reborn individual! At these words, the Heavenly Realm¡¯s people¡¯splexions changed drastically! ¡°What, he¡¯s a reborn individual?¡± ¡°Reborn individuals, also called ¡®People of Two Lifetimes,¡¯ only entities who were extremely powerful in their past lives have a chance to be reborn¡¡± ¡°Once reborn, they are destined to have the fortunes of a lifetime, inevitably the protagonists of heaven and earth, unstoppable by anyone!¡± Everyone was shocked and began to speak. The legends of ¡°reborn individuals¡± were known in all Myriad Realms! And Xiao Yan on hearing this, was suddenly taken aback. Reborn individual? Damn it, no wonder. No wonder, even possessing a heaven-defying golden finger like the apanying elder grandpa, he was unable to ovee the opponent. The opponent is a reborn individual¡ his golden finger might not even be worse than his own¡ But his apanying elder grandpa¡ If the opponent has been reborn- in this life, between him and the opponent, who is the protagonist? Who is the supporting role? Xiao Yan was filled with confusion! ¡°Reborn individual¡ no wonder, no wonder¡¡± Inside him, even Yang Miechen couldn¡¯t help but murmur. On hearing this, Fire Spirit felt the pressure increase by a notch. It seemed that relying on themselves, they were unable to suppress Chen Xuanbei¡ it was impossible¡ Now, it seemed they had no other choice! She looked over at Mu Qianning. Mu Qianning understood the question in Fire Spirit¡¯s eyes and nodded immediately. ¡°Who says no one can defeat you?¡± Fire Spirit looked at Chen Xuanbei and said: ¡°In the Heavenly Realm, there still exist beings far beyond you!¡± Chapter 170 - 154 The Small Mountain Village? A Perfect Game of Chess!_1 Chapter 170: Chapter 154 The Small Mountain Vige? A Perfect Game of Chess!_1 In the Heavenly Realm, there are existences far above you! The words of Fire Spirit instantly brightened the eyes of the Yuanyang Holy Lord and others! They all understood¡ this was the rhythm of seeking Senior Li¡¯s intervention! Suddenly, all their tension, worries, and such were swept away! What rebirth? In front of Senior Li, they are definitely not enough to look at. Chen Xuanbei then sneered and said: ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Far above me? I would be very happy to grant him failure and death.¡± Are there any enemies of mine in the Lower World? Impossible! Instead, he began to look forward to it, could it be that he would soon touch upon the clues of the Boundless Chessboard? ¡°That senior, he never makes a move, just wait here!¡± Fire Spirit spoke. ¡°My patience is limited, three days, I will give you three days.¡± Chen Xuanbei said indifferently. Fire Spirit coldly said: ¡°If that senior were to make a move, why would he need three days¡¡± Having said that, she turned to look at Jiang Li and Wu Dade, and said: ¡°Follow me!¡± Both of them followed her and Mu Qianning away, puzzled. Before long, they left the chess tform and stepped into the grand hall. ¡°We need to see Senior Li, leave this ce to you to stabilize.¡± Fire Spirit looked at the Yuanyang Holy Lord. The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded but then turned to Jiang Li and Wu Dade and said: ¡°Are they going too?¡± Fire Spirit nodded and said, ¡°The two of them are more familiar with the situation of the Chess Immortal Sect, perhaps they could facilitate Senior Li¡¯s inquiries.¡± The Yuanyang Holy Lord nodded. Afterward, Fire Spirit, Mu Qianning led Jiang Li, Wu Dade, and others, and quietly left the Taiyan Holy Land. ¡°Fire Alliance Hierarch, where are we going?¡± Wu Dade asked with concern. ¡°To meet an invincible existence!¡± Before long, they had already arrived at the outskirts of a small mountain vige. ¡°Here, there is an invincible existence?¡± Wu Dade was full of doubt! This is just an ordinary small mountain vige, right?! However, when Jiang Li gazed at the small mountain vige in front, he was suddenly shaken and said: ¡°No¡ Wu Dade, don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± He stared closely at this small mountain vige, his expression as if looking at a supreme Immortal Pce, a lofty hall! ¡°What¡¯s the matter? I didn¡¯t talk nonsense, this really is just an ordinary small mountain vige, right?¡± Wu Dade was puzzled. ¡°No¡ Your realm is too low, you don¡¯t understand, you can¡¯t see!¡± Jiang Li¡¯s voice even trembled as he said: ¡°This small mountain vige¡¯syout is clearly perfect to the extreme, not a single w or imperfection, does such a perfect chess game truly exist in this world?!¡± Excited, he suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the small mountain vige! Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning, seeing this scene, were also instantly shocked. What¡¯s going on? They both knew this vige was not simple, after all, it was where Senior Li secluded himself¡ But just one nce and Jiang Li was already prostrating himself? ¡°Could it be, we can¡¯t see it either because of our mortal eyes¡¡± Mu Qianning murmured to herself. After Jiang Li deeply bowed to the small mountain vige and then stood up again, he excitedly looked at Fire Spirit and the others and said: ¡°Ladies, please let me meet the senior of this ce¡ just a single meeting, and even if I die immediately afterwards, I would have no regrets in this life!¡± To hear the Dao in the morning, and die in the evening would be happiness! Right now, this was his feeling. Because, he had finally seen the Supreme path of chess, perfect to the utmost pinnacle! Before, in his eyes, the chess path of the new Saint Heir Chen Xuanbei had already been invincible. But now he understood, this ce¡ this is where the ultimate destiny of the chess path lies! Hearing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning traded a smile. ¡°Everything depends on the fate between you two now,¡± Fire Spirit spoke, ¡°Let¡¯s go, into the vige.¡± A group of them walked into the mountain vige together. ¡°Theyout may seem casual, but it is actually the handiwork of immortals, wless and perfect. If one could live here again, it wouldn¡¯t take long to make swift progress in the path of chess!¡± As they walked through the vige, Jiang Li admired every nt and every de of grass, full of emotion. On the other hand, Wu Dade was extremely frustrated. A mere outer sect servant disciple of the Chess Immortal Sect, his cultivation level was low, and his only skill was beast taming! Therefore, he couldn¡¯t sense anything at all. Soon, they finally saw the small courtyard ahead! Inside the courtyard, it was like a paradise hidden from the world. Nan Feng was ying the zither, her gentle and pleasant notes asionally intermixed with the shing sounds of knives and swords. She was merging solemnity with serenity, creating a harmony between fric disturbance and grace. She was exploring her own Dao. Several days ago, she had sessfully crossed the threshold, stepping into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. Among Li Fan¡¯s disciples, there were already two Taiyi Golden Immortals. Long Zixuan sat like a statue by the fish pond every day, and over time, the koi in the ponds seemed to get used to his presence. asionally they would evolve into something, which gave Long Zixuan profound insights, allowing him to advance rapidly. Qing Chen was still sweeping, asionally Li Fan would utter a few words to him, throwing Qing Chen into deep thought again and again. Dugu Yuqing¡¯s calligraphy had greatly improved. Ever since he obtained the fighting sword of Wuji Xianwang, each day when he practiced his calligraphy, he would hold the sword, harmonizing with the great Dao within it. ¡°A single character is the simplest and also the most fundamental part. To master good calligraphy, one must also excel in other basic skills,¡± Li Fan said as he instructed Dugu Yuqing, ¡°Next, you can practice ¡®vertical¡¯!¡± Li Fan lifted the brush, then he made a sweeping motion. At this moment, all the disciples could feel as if a divine sword was being wielded! Not the ¡°Heaven Opening Sword¡¯s¡± thousand-mile flow, nor the universe-splitting might but a terrifying sword intent that prated right to the soul, as if it could pierce through everything! As if all the Myriad Realms and the Void Sea Domain could be split in two by that one vertical strike! ¡°Is this¡ the ultimate secret of Sword Dao¡ ¡®Slice¡¯?!¡± Dugu Yuqing was shocked. At that moment, his Broken Sword began to tremble as well, as if submitting to that terrifying sword intent¡ Dugu Yuqing was silent for a long while, deeplyprehending that sword. ¡°Having learned the Heaven Opening Sword, one only just glimpses the entrance to the Sword Dao¡ The Sword Dao that Teachermands is truly as profound as the ocean¡¡± He was full of emotion and began to practice immediately. After teaching Dugu Yuqing calligraphy, Li Fan continued to teach Xinning poetry. During the intervals of reading poetry, he would asionally nce at Lu Rang, who was gardening on the side. Among this group of disciples, it was Lu Rang who evoked the mostplex feelings in Li Fan. Because he was truly passionate about nting and nurturing! Recently, Lu Rang had been caring for that pot of grass right down to his bones ¡ªwatering, sunning, ¡°Three Lives Soil¡±¡ªhe was meticulously nurturing it, even sleeping with the damn pot cradled in his arms! Li Fan really wanted to say, this is just a pot of Pasture Grass, the kind you feed to pigs and cows, not some exquisite flower,e on! But, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to intercede anymore. After all, as long as he liked it, and plus, that pot of grass was indeed growing better and better¡ªwith robust, sharp leaves, even Li Fan felt quite satisfied. To other disciples, however, Lu Rang of the present seemed quite terrifying. ¡°Brother Lu Rang is too monstrous, to be able to get that close to that pot of grass¡¡± ¡°Each leaf of that grass could probably sh a Golden Immortal now¡ It¡¯s mutating faster and faster; who knows what it will eventually be!¡± Everyone looked on withplex expressions. Recently, during dinner, when Lu Rang put that pot of grass on the table, even Dugu Yuqing didn¡¯t dare topete with him for food anymore. It was too scary! ¡°Who knows what kind of heaven-defying being this guy is going to nurture¡¡± Gong Ya watched Lu Rang every day with waves of tension. And Xinning dutifully recited poetry: ¡°When hoeing weeds at noon, sweat drips down to the soil below. Who knows that the food on our te, every single grain, is hard-earned.¡± Recently, when Xinning studied poetry, Gong Ya would also follow along, because she had realized that the poems Li Fan taught contained some sort of Dao that one couldprehend! Seeing everything in the small courtyard operating smoothly, Li Fan was somewhatforted and couldn¡¯t help but pet Xiao Bai, who was lying on hisp. Xiao Bai had been very clevertely, frolicking around, not looking like the cat that used to love sleeping all day. Li Fan stroked the cat gently, and Bai Xiaoqing meowed a few timesfortably, rolling over. Li Fan was content and idle, living his days in ease and leisure. The only thing he asionally thought about was taking on apprentices. He still needed four more disciples toplete the System¡¯s task! It was a pity that it seemed there were few in the outside world with peculiar hobbies like Lu Rang and Long Zixuan¡ ¡°Qian Ning pays respects to Senior Li!¡± At this moment, the voice of Mu Qianning came from outside! Chapter 171 - 155: The Chessboard in the Garbage Dump_1 Chapter 171: Chapter 155: The Chessboard in the Garbage Dump_1 ¡°Qian Ning hase to pay respects to Senior Li!¡± The voice of Mu Qianning came through. In the small courtyard, Li Fan also revealed a slight smile, saying, ¡°Come in.¡± Outside, Mu Qianning, Fire Spirit, and others immediately pushed the door open and entered. The moment they stepped into the courtyard, Jiang Li¡¯s whole body jolted violently, as if he had seen something inconceivable. ¡°This aura, this supreme path of chess¡ intermingles with the Myriad Dao, harmonizing with heaven and earth¡¡± He was shaking, through and through. If the perfect and wless path of chess was what he had felt in the small mountain vige, then the aura here, that ultimate essence andws of chess¡ clearly made him feel that everything here surpassed ¡°perfection¡±! It was so vast that it couldn¡¯t be gazed upon. It was so ethereal that it couldn¡¯t be touched. It was so profound that it couldn¡¯t be peered into! He felt as if he were a drop of water in the presence of a vast ocean. The only thing he could do¡ was to worship! ¡°Paying respects to Senior Li.¡± Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning then stepped forward, bowing deeply to Li Fan. Li Fan said with a smile, ¡°No need for such formalities, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen you all. By the way, who might they be?¡± His gaze then fell upon Jiang Li and Wu Dade. Feeling Li Fan¡¯s gaze, Wu Dade immediately felt a bit nervous and looked towards Jiang Li. However, at this moment, Jiang Li only nced once at Li Fan. Then suddenly, he ¡°thump¡± knelt down on the ground and said, ¡°Junior Jiang Li, pays respects to the master!¡± ¡°Having seen the master¡¯s supreme path of chess today¡ Jiang Li is satisfied with this life!¡± He prostrated himself, his words brimming with respect! Upon seeing Li Fan, he understood. All the nuances of chess, all thews¡ They all originated from the ¡°Senior Li¡± before him! He deeply realized that the other party¡¯s path of chess had reached an ethereal realm; he might appear young, but he must be a Chess Grandmaster overlooking the rise and fall of the Myriad Realms, an observer of the birth and death of the universe! Before such a predecessor, one must show the utmost courtesy! Seeing this, Zi Ling was also taken aback. What was going on? Was he here to seek apprenticeship? He looked at Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning. ¡°Reporting to Senior, these two¡e from the Diming Realm!¡± Fire Spirit spoke up, saying, ¡°Just today, a rebirthed individual came to the Diming Realm, unparalleled in the path of chess, challenging the chess yers of the Myriad Realms!¡± ¡°He speaks arrogantly, pressing us and saying that if nobody from the Heavenly Realm can beat him, from then on we must be his vassals¡¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan was immediately startled. What? A rebirthed individual? The concept of rebirth was something Li Fan had only seen in novels! And a rebirthed individual¡ they¡¯re generally the protagonist¡¯s character! Could it be that he had actually encountered the protagonist of this world??? Li Fan immediately felt envious. Damn it, look at him, reborn twice, reaching the pinnacle of glory, whereas I¡ am just so pitiful, struggling at the edge of heaven! ¡°And these two, named Jiang Li and Wu Dade, Jiang Li is the former Saint Heir of the Chess Immortal Sect¡¡± Fire Spirit continued, recounting how Jiang Li had yed his games, how he had been badly beaten, and finally, his defection from the Chess Immortal Sect among other things. But, she didn¡¯t mention a single word about cultivation, because she understood that Senior Li, having retired to live among mortals, had long grown weary of the affairs of the Cultivation World! After listening, Li Fan was also a bit surprised. That rebirthed individual was so ruthless? Jiang Li only allowed the chess yers of the Heavenly Realm to make a few moves, and he was beaten up, even to the point of being killed?? Even if they¡¯re the protagonist, isn¡¯t that a bit too much? ¡°Now, Xiao Yan, Little Chess Saint, and all the high-ranking chess experts we could find have been defeated¡¡± Fire Spirit sighed and said, ¡°So, I had no choice but toe visit Senior!¡± After speaking, they all looked at Li Fan nervously. Li Fan also instantly understood. It must have been from thest time Lu Rang was in the outside world that he had given Lu Rang some advice on ying chess, which is how Mu Qianning and the others knew he understood the game. They were here to ask for his help! But this time, it might involve the affairs of cultivators. After all, their rival was a reborn individual. Li Fan had always been reluctant to get involved with the affairs of cultivators. Because he knew that in the eyes of cultivators, mortals were nothing but ants, easily killed with the flick of a finger! If he were not careful and caught the attention of a cultivator, wouldn¡¯t that spell disaster? It was better toy low in the vige, enjoying his humble existence! But he still had to help Fire Spirit and the others with their request. After thinking it over, he turned his gaze to Jiang Li, who was kneeling on the ground. ¡°Since you understand chess, stand up and discuss the game with me, how about it?¡± Li Fan spoke. ¡ª¡±Discuss¡± is an elegant term for ying chess. He wanted to see Jiang Li¡¯s skill at chess; if possible, he might provide some tips, teach him one or two decisive strategies so he could go back and defeat Chen Xuanbei¡that should be enough. It would save him from having to step in himself and being resented by a cultivator! Hearing these words, Jiang Li, kneeling on the ground, was momentarily stunned. He looked at Li Fan incredulously and was at a loss for words. He himself¡had the chance to ¡°discuss¡± chess with such an extraordinary being? What kind of incredible opportunity was this? He simply couldn¡¯t imagine it! ¡°Young Master Jiang, why don¡¯t you stand up quickly?¡± Fire Spirit also spoke with delight. Senior Li was clearly nning to provide guidance to Jiang Li, so that Jiang Li could take his ce in battling! After all, although Chen Xuanbei was a reborn individual,pared to Senior Li, he was not much more than an ant. How could they possibly ask Senior Li to take action personally? It was then that Jiang Li hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply to Li Fan, and said, ¡°How dare I perform poorly in front of the master¡¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be polite,e now,¡± Li Fan said, ¡°Zi Ling, go find my chessboard and bring Go pieces¡ Because he had no opponents normally, even if Li Fan asionally felt like ying, he could only y against himself. And when ying against himself, he didn¡¯t need a chessboard, as the intersections of the board were in his hands and in his mind. So, the chessboard had been gathering dust, and Li Fan wasn¡¯t even exactly sure where he had put it. Zi Ling got up to look for it and, after searching for a long while, came back holding a dusty chessboard. ¡°Master, I found it¡ It was in the firewood pile!¡± Her voice was tinged withplexity as she continued, ¡°However, Brother Lu Rang has chopped it with a kindling ax a few times, leaving two cracks in it¡¡± Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately smiled, having forgotten about this incident. Previously finding too many items cluttering up his space, he had thrown the chessboard into the firewood pile, intending to use it as firewood. Lucky that Lu Rang hadn¡¯t broken it to pieces, or they would have trouble finding a single chessboard now. ¡°No matter, as long as the lines are clear, that¡¯s enough, he said. Zi Ling then ced the chessboard on the stone table and set up two boxes of chess pieces on either side. It was a dusty chessboard, whose intersections were distinctly drawn with ck and white lines! Who knows how many years it had endured, and even after a long time in the firewood pile, it showed no signs of fading whatsoever. This chessboard was rather peculiar; its lines had no designed boundaries at the edges! At that moment, the dusty edges of the chessboard were clearly nicked with two knife cuts, slightly split open! ¡°Please, sit down¡ª¡± Li Fan spoke indifferently. Jiang Li took a deep breath, deeply bowed to Li Fan, and then sat down opposite him. As he settled down, his gaze fell upon the dusty chessboard. And once again, Jiang Li froze! He stared at the chessboard before him, his eyes filled with disbelief. As if he had seen a ghost! Chapter 172: 156: Teaching the Path of Chess 1 Jiang Li had just sat down when he noticed the chessboard and froze in ce. ¡°This¡ how can this be¡ No, it¡¯s impossible!¡± He muttered to himself. The moment he sat down, he felt a boundless and vast sensation, as if he were looking upon a limitless world of interweaving ck and white, good and evil! It was a terrifying manifestation of a great path! And it was emanating from the dull, dusty chessboard before him. ¡°Intersecting lines of ck and white, endless and without bounds¡ Could this be the legendary chessboard mentioned in the tales?¡± His heart was shocked to the sky! The Chess Immortal Sect was no ordinary sect; it had a foothold within the Immortal Domain and was a branch of the Regretless Immortal City in the Central Immortal Domain! And the Regretless Immortal Monarch of the Regretless Immortal City¡ was one of the strongest Immortal Monarchs in the Central Immortal Domain. He attained immortality through the path of chess!
