Deep within the Lingshen Wenzhou Continent, there is a palace surrounded by mountains.
A streak of light flies in from outside the mountain, stopping in front of the palace and transforming into a glamorous woman with purple lips and eyes, resembling an old demon of many years. As she touches down, she walks towards the palace.
“Tread, tread, tread!”
Her shoes make crisp sounds as they step on the stone-laid ground, echoing in the hall.
Upon entering the palace, the glamorous woman gazes respectfully at the back of a man seated at the head of the hall and says, “Immortal Master!”
There is a huge map on the back panel of the hall, marked with various sizes of dots, densely packed.
In front of the map stands a man emitting a powerful aura, hands behind his back, quietly contemplating the map. After a moment, he turns around slowly, revealing a thin face with slightly sunken eye sockets. His eyes, as calm as still water, emit a faint glow, seemingly absorbing everything.
The man speaks lightly, “Lin Mei, how is it?”
A smile appears on the glamorous woman’s face as she replies, “Immortal Master’s predictions were accurate. The conflict between the Hun Tian Condensing Qi Peak and the Departing Fire Forgetfulness Gate, which we provoked, escalated into a confrontation resulting in severe injuries and nearly decimating these two immortal sects. Then, we spread the news, and various major immortal sects acted upon it. The Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks reacted the fastest and intercepted the flying boat of the Jiu Lianxing Yuan Mountain accurately on the Broad Darkness Sea, ultimately seizing precious materials such as the Xuanlei Cold Mountain Iron and the Nine-Ring Merging Spirit Lotus!”
“Heh! Ridiculously, the Sanhe Peaks actually denied it, claiming that a person in crystal armor appeared out of nowhere and took away all the materials. Do they think anyone would believe that? Now many eyes are on the Sanhe Peaks, but unfortunately, it’s too powerful for others to act at the moment.”
The man, also known as the “Immortal Master,” smiles lightly and says, “The interests are not enough. These are just some relatively precious materials, far from reaching the point of everyone attacking en masse! Have our gifts been delivered to the Yunzhong Valley?”
Lin Mei’s purple lips curl into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth. “Already delivered. And as soon as we spread the news, the Triple Phoenix Pavilion couldn’t hold back, joining forces with several major immortal sects to launch an attack on the Yunzhong Valley, encompassing all twenty-eight strongholds. It is estimated that within two days at the latest, the Yunzhong Valley will be wiped out!”
At this point, Lin Mei chuckles foolishly. “This news has reached the Sanhe Peaks. After the Triple Phoenix Pavilion takes down the Yunzhong Valley, it will be the Sanhe Peaks’s turn to come and plunder.”
The Immortal Master turns to look at the map, the reflection of the entire map in those sunken eye sockets.
Lin Mei continues, “Immortal Master, many of our top materials have been distributed recently, and there are very few left…”
The Immortal Master says, “It doesn’t matter. The major immortal sects have been entangled for many years, and the hatred runs deep. Our top materials are just bait! Apart from interests, there is also hatred that can destroy oneself. Before long, everyone will be embroiled in this chaotic mess!”
Although the water in the pond is clear now, there is much sediment at the bottom. Just gently stirring it with a small stick can muddy the entire clear pond.
…
The Yunzhong Valley is indeed a top immortal sect, but compared to other top immortal sects, it is the easiest target.
The reason is that the Yunzhong Valley has an ample supply of high-end combat power, but the number of cultivators below the Golden Core stage is too low.
This cannot be considered a weakness. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to provoke the Yunzhong Valley because killing a few Foundation Building disciples would be futile. Once the Yunzhong Valley is provoked, a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators would harass incessantly, causing endless trouble.
However, in the face of huge interests, the shortage of disciples within the sect becomes Yunzhong Valley’s fatal weakness, making it vulnerable to coordinated attacks.
Bullying the weak with numbers has always been the case! This is a characteristic imprinted in human genes, and cultivators are no exception!
However, what the joint cultivators of the Triple Phoenix Pavilion and other immortal sects did not expect during their siege of the Qianfeng Assembly was a bizarre Foundation Establishment cultivator they encountered.
He wielded a sharp magic tool, so sharp that it could reap the life of a Golden Core cultivator with just one shot, and he had a top-tier defensive magic tool. Even with five Golden Core cultivators besieging him, they couldn’t break through his shield?
What was even more outrageous was that this Foundation Establishment cultivator seemed to have gone mad. He held the magic tool in his hand and swung it towards the Golden Core cultivators who were hundreds of meters away, jokingly. They were Golden Core cultivators, after all…
But unbelievably, the heads of the Golden Core cultivators were chopped off by this little Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Then, the young Foundation Establishment cultivator continued to swing three more times, beheading three more Golden Core cultivators in succession.
They almost thought that this was some powerful Nascent Soul cultivator playing around in the Foundation Establishment stage.
They carefully sensed it again.
Yes, it was definitely a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In everyone’s spiritual perception, the spiritual energy response within this little guy’s body was that of the Foundation Establishment realm. Although the amount of spiritual energy was excessive, Foundation Establishment spiritual energy was Foundation Establishment spiritual energy. It was absolutely impossible to contend with Golden Core cultivators.
It was all because of that strange blue-glowing magic tool!
Everyone couldn’t hide their greed in their eyes. They wanted that magic tool!
A small Foundation Establishment cultivator could wield this magic tool to slaughter so many. If it were in the hands of Golden Core cultivators like them…
The Golden Core cultivators thought of this and glanced subtly at the two Nascent Soul cultivators who followed them!
The two Nascent Soul cultivators obviously didn’t know what these Golden Core cultivators were thinking. Instead, they eagerly looked at Su Hao standing on the Qianfeng Assembly and the versatile knife behind Su Hao.
To be honest, they were also eyeing Su Hao’s magic tool. Although the knife’s style didn’t match their lofty and ethereal aura, its killing intent was too strong to resist! If they had this magic tool in their hands, would they still need to consider the feelings of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators?
Hmm, of course, the premise was that this magic tool could pierce through the shield of a Nascent Soul stage big shot. But getting it in their hands would never be wrong.
Seeing Feng Ling leading Su Hao using the Earth Escape Technique and disappearing underground.
A black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator with graying hair scanned with his spiritual sense, firmly locking Su Hao’s position in the mountain, a smile appearing on his face as wrinkles gathered, “I have a spell that can seal off the Earth Escape Technique and trap them in the mountain. Fellow Feng Dan, please watch how I do it?”
Feng Dan was a slender middle-aged cultivator. Upon hearing this, he said, “Friend Yuan Ze, please go ahead.”
Yuan Ze formed a hand seal, gently lifted his hand, and a dark purple light instantly enveloped the entire Thousand Peaks Mountain, permeating through the mountain.
By this time, Su Hao had already transformed into a diamond of [Child of Fate] and was moving around unimpeded.
It was another group of escapees who suffered.
Old Uncle Yu, with his twin disciples Yumu and Yujie, was preparing to sneak out of the mountain when suddenly they couldn’t move.
After waiting for a moment in the cramped darkness, Yujie couldn’t help but ask, “Master, why did we stop?”
Yumu followed, “Could it be that there are cultivators blocking our way ahead?”
Old Uncle Yu’s old face flashed with a hint of panic, forcing himself to remain calm, “A powerful cultivator has used a spell to seal off this mountain peak!”
Yujie said, “What should we do then?”
Yumu said, “Can we still escape?”
Old Uncle Yu released their hands and then formed a hand seal, saying, “Let’s see how I break his sealing spell.”
“The Five Elements Breaking Seal Technique!”
A white light flashed, and then everything around fell silent.
Yujie asked, “Master, has it been broken?”
Yumu said, “Master, you’re amazing!”
Old Uncle Yu coughed and said, “Not yet, this sealing technique is quite powerful. But don’t panic, I still have more than twenty kinds of unsealing techniques. Let me try them one by one.”
As soon as one Earth Escape sealing technique succeeded, numerous cultivators attempting to escape through Earth Escape within the mountain couldn’t move, leaving Yuan Ze with a faint smile on his face.
Immediately after, twelve delicate flying swords flew out from his waist, lined up in front, and he said softly, “It is said that the shield of that little Foundation Establishment cultivator is powerful. Let’s try my Twelve Spiritual Gate Swords first!”
With that, he pointed his finger, and the twelve flying swords locked onto Su Hao’s position in the mountain, transforming into streams of light and shooting out.
Just then, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking in front of the twelve streams of light.
As soon as this figure appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.
A towering figure in armor, wielding a nearly three-meter-long sword!
The armored figure stood at a height of four meters, entirely translucent, with the entire armor constructed like crystal stone, exuding an extreme sense of beauty.
They had never seen such exquisite armor before, but it didn’t diminish the awe in their hearts!
Mighty and domineering!
Such smoothly flowing and fantastical armor seemed to naturally accelerate the heartbeat and blood circulation of anyone who saw it!
As soon as the armored figure appeared, the crystal long sword in their hand shimmered, tracing two arcs.
“Ding, ding, ding…”
A series of crisp sounds rang out as all twelve streams of light shot out by Yuan Ze were deflected!
