Immortal of the Nine Realms

A first transformation immortal duel that opened with pure physical combat truly only counted as a warm-up. But the warm-up between Fang Chen and their senior sister, in the eyes of most present, had already reached the level of monsters.

When they had been first-transformation immortals, or for those who still were, they couldn’t even imagine whether they could keep themselves alive under such an opening exchange.

The senior sister smiled lightly. ”I remember your control of immortal essence is already very strong. That whip technique you used earlier was quite good. Next, let’s duel properly.”

Under her feet, the Black Dragon Immortal Boat seemed to transform into a vast sea.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen felt as though he stood in the middle of an endless ocean, countless waves surging toward him.

Though these waves appeared ordinary, they were in fact immortal essence in disguise, hiding boundless killing intent. There were no flashy visual effects, no overwhelming displays of grandeur, only a technique that simplified the profound.

The Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign spoke with a hint of admiration. ”With this alone, their senior sister is invincible among first-transformation immortals.”

Lin Yuan, being bold by nature, muttered, ”This looks... like nothing more than ordinary water element spiritual energy?”

Many immortals smirked at him.

The Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign gave him a glance. ”Indeed, it is ordinary water element spiritual energy. But if someone refines the water element to its absolute limit... it becomes the hardest wall in existence.”

Lin Yuan was confused, unable to understand the implication.

The next instant, he saw Fang Chen unleashing spells to resist the tidal waves.

The whip technique that had earlier turned a second-transformation immortal into a joke could not advance even an inch when they struck the waves.

It was as if a terrifying and irresistible force had blocked and erased its strength, like a candle flame against a breached dam.

”This is the power of a first-transformation immortal?!” Lin Yuan cried out.

Yu Wuxia and Meng Qingling were astounded.

Fang Chen’s whip could humiliate a second-transformation immortal, yet against the senior sister, who had suppressed her cultivation, he couldn’t even break one wave?

Perhaps hearing the doubt in Lin Yuan’s tone, the Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign’s face darkened slightly. ”When she says she will suppress her cultivation, she absolutely does not cheat.”

”That’s not what I meant...” Lin Yuan muttered awkwardly.

But it was true, if he were in her position, he wouldn’t need to rely on cultivation to bully juniors either.

Fang Chen tested the Fighting Divine Whip, then used the various elemental powers refined by Fang Tianzun—Frost Water Immortal Flame, Azure Lightning, the power of Ice and Wind, Yang Corrosion Flame, Great Yin Divine Lightning, Primordial Origin Qi....

Yet before this simplest of water techniques, all his power seemed to fall from their pedestals, losing their former grandeur.

In an instant, two more heads sprouted from Fang Chen’s shoulders, and four additional arms emerged.

”The Three Heads and Six Arms Technique!” Yu Wuxia exclaimed.

”Three Heads and Six Arms?”

The Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign and others were confused. Clearly, they hadn’t heard of this technique before.

”This is a Dao Sect technique, lost for many years,” Yu Wuxia sighed. ”The captain truly received authentic Dao Sect inheritance when he was in the Lower Six Realms. I didn’t expect so much Dao Sect legacy to remain down there.”

The others felt no such sentiment. To them, even three heads and six arms meant little. Against someone like their senior sister, even a hundred heads would be useless.

As expected, the three heads and six arms cast various spells, but none could halt the waves. The space Fang Chen could stand on grew smaller and smaller; all around him surged towering waves.

Fang Chen faintly smiled. Her water element spiritual energy is soft, yielding, and it overcomes force with gentleness, dissolving the might of my techniques. No wonder she is their senior sister of the Enlightenment God Palace.

Against such an opponent, breaking her technique had nothing to do with how much immortal essence he possessed. Even if he had far more essence than she did, he would still be ground to dust by the endless tide.

The sixth sword of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture... I’ve never tested it. Even without using Little Sword, it should be enough...

Sword intent gathered in Fang Chen’s palm, and he swung. The waves around him suddenly froze, then exploded with a roar, collapsing into countless droplets.

Their senior sister felt an unprecedented sense of danger. Walls of water rose one after another before her.

These walls, capable of blocking second and even third-transformation immortals, shattered on impact.

When the source of danger neared her, her immortal essence surged violently as she used the power of the second transformation to reinforce the final wall. Only then was the threat stopped.

It was a sword made of water, a flying sword condensed entirely out of water elemental energy.

Only then did the onlookers react. Even the Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign revealed astonishment before showing a deep frown.

The water sword faded silently, merging back into the water wall.

The senior sister remained silent for a long moment, then looked at Fang Chen.

”What was that technique just now?”

”Sword intent,” Fang Chen replied simply.

Sword intent meant many things. How one comprehended it relied entirely on oneself.

”Sword intent...” muttered Senior Sister softly.

She fell silent for a few moments, then suddenly smirked. ”From now on, call me Senior Sister.”

With a wave of her sleeve, the miniature Candle Dragon Immortal Boat dropped into Fang Chen’s hands.

She explained, ”Though it belongs to the Earth Dragon series, its power is no weaker than an ordinary spiritual treasure. The only difference is that it lacks an artifact spirit. If you can control it, as long as you have enough immortal essence, you can resist even a sixth-transformation Immortal Sovereign for a time. Against fifth-transformation Immortals, you can escape. If you run into any fourth transformation Immortals, just beat them up.”

Shock filled everyone’s hearts. Only now did they truly realize that Senior Sister had lost.

Fang Chen cupped his fist. ”Thank you, Senior Sister.”

He immediately began refining the Candle Dragon Immortal Boat before everyone.

It had a legitimate origin, so he need not fear future investigation from the Enlightenment God Palace. And with it, he possessed another layer of disguise.

The Black Dragon Immortal Boat shrank back to its original size.

The Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign and the others gathered near their senior sister, glancing from time to time at Fang Chen refining the Immortal Boat, their expressions strange.

”You need not make such faces. With my cultivation suppressed to the first-transformation immortal, I am really not his match. Against his sword intent, I had no choice but to break the seal and use the power of the second transformation to withstand it. If he had been from my generation, and if he could contract a Formation Heart, he would be no weaker than I, and even surpass people like Nanming Ruyue.”

Their senior sister looked at Fang Chen thoughtfully, then turned to Little Immortal Honglian. ”Junior Sister, may I have him cultivate by my side in the future?”

”...”

Lin Yuan and the others were stunned. They never expected their senior sister to directly try to poach someone from Little Immortal Honglian.
