Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 342: Chapter 187: The Path of the Array

The scene was silent.

Only the sound of waves gently washing over lingered, gradually, even the sound of the waves began to fade.

Taoist Longshan scanned the surroundings; some lowered their heads, some smiled, while others calmly met his gaze. He looked at the two people before him and finally said mildly: ”Thank you both for your kind offer, but there’s ancient wisdom in striking while the iron is hot. How about we talk after I lead my disciples out from the island?”

As the words fell.

The expressions of the black-robed blademan and the white-browed elder gradually darkened. ”Brother Chen, it seems our face isn’t big enough,” jested the black-robed blademan.

The white-browed elder also nodded with a sigh.

But sharp eyes could catch the trace of mockery in both of their gazes.

Ning Qi looked calm.

Given his current strength, the two before him were akin to ants; however, since his master was leading the team, he naturally had to show respect. Ning Qi merely glanced at the faintly visible mist ahead, his eyes slightly surprised; he sensed a peculiar force, resembling a Qimen Array, but seemingly more formidable. ”It’s a misunderstanding,” Taoist Longshan said with a smile, then refrained from speaking more. He waved his hand, leading the disciples toward the misty area.

But invisibly, two auras locked onto the group.

Greed stirs the heart.

No matter how renowned True Man Tianjian was, since he wasn’t present, there would still be those tempted, especially as more and more rumors indicated that the True Martial Hall held Martial Saint lineage, making people green with envy, willing to take risks. ”True Man, it looks like you’re giving us no face at all?”

The two Celestial Being List experts who were once fighting to the death instantly reached an accord, though they smiled, there was a chill in their eyes.

The atmosphere dropped to a freezing point in an instant.

Everyone held their breath, eager to see how the True Martial Sect’s people would respond—whether they’d use True Man Tianjian’s fame to deter the enemy, deploy other tactics, or simply retreat under the pressure of the two Celestial Being List experts, in which case the True Martial Sect’s reputation would certainly suffer a significant blow.

The True Martial Sect contingent paused.

Ning Qi’s expression remained indifferent, and the next instant, he chuckled.

A calm voice arose: ”What do you count as?”

Seeing Dragon Mountain Taoist with an unwavering expression, everyone was stunned, unable to believe such words came from his mouth. But the disciples of True Martial Sect all brightened, especially Ye Qinghe and others.

They wouldn’t forget how when Taoist Longshan once secluded himself to break through to the Celestial Human Realm, an external threat invaded True Martial Mountain. After he succeeded, he stirred up the winds in Qing State.

Nowadays, Taoist Longshan hadn’t acted for a long time, overshadowed by True Man Tianjian, leading many to forget his character.

The black-robed blademan and the white-browed elder stared at Taoist Longshan, dumbfounded.

They found it hard to believe what they heard, unsure how this person who had only set foot in the Celestial Human Realm for a few years had the courage to challenge two Celestial Being List experts.

But soon.

They understood.

The thick Power of Heaven and Earth converged, like waves overturning, surging mightily.

Before the anger in their eyes could rise, it was all replaced by astonishment and then disbelief.

Taoist Longshan wasted no words.

The secret technique of the Bridge of Celestial Being operated, mastering the Power of Heaven and Earth which instantly multiplied, now far beyond his former self. Having taken the Heaven-Reaching Pill for over half a year, the medicinal power mostly refined, his strength rose significantly. If one must compare, he ranked at least among the top twenty of the Celestial Being List, given he also mastered many secret techniques taught by Ning Qi.

Bang!

People vaguely heard the roar of the Power of Heaven and Earth, columns of water surged forth, pushing away all onlookers.

In shock, the two Celestial Being List experts used all their strength.

A hundred-foot Blade Gang broke out of the sea, slashing the columns of water, akin to a dragon emerging from the sea, while the white-browed elder threw raging punches, with Fist Gang having a mystical traction force that formed a whirlpool of seawater around them. Amidst the fluctuation of Power of Heaven and Earth and under pressure, the cooperation between the two seemed somewhat harmonious.

But it was futile.

Taoist Longshan looked indifferent, as he drew circles with both hands, the invisible Power of Heaven and Earth divided into two currents, mutually attracting and responding, then transformed into two giant waves of palm, pressing down.

Under the awestruck gazes of the crowd.

The Blade Gang shattered, the fist waves dispersed.

The two Celestial Human Realm experts vomited blood, were knocked flying, suppressed into the sea by the giant palms.

Taoist Longshan stood with his hands behind his back.

Soon.

Two battered figures burst from the sea, blood trailing from corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with darkness and dread.

The scene gradually fell silent.

At this moment, Taoist Longshan had already become the focus of the whole place, his prestige soaring. At this moment everyone shared a single thought. ”How does Taoist Longshan possess such terrifying strength?”

Initially, Taoist Longshan was treated with deference by the two Celestial Being List experts due to True Man Tianjian, but now it was genuinely due to his own strength.

The True Martial Sect people were all excited.

Ning Qi chuckled lightly.

Just witnessing his master’s displayed methods made it clear that he’d toiled hard these days; perhaps aware of the pressure the whole sect placed on Ning Qi, he felt powerless, able only to transform it into stronger motivation, growing rapidly.

Taoist Longshan glanced casually at the two Celestial Being List experts, without speaking.

He then waved his hand, leading True Martial Sect disciples swiftly towards the mist.

This time.
