Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

127: Chapter 127 The Battle of the ProdigiesWith the appearance of the two Dao Sons and Dao Maidens of the Immortal Sects, the situation in the arena became chaotic.

The Great Qi’s Three Upper Sects—the Red Dust Sect, the Cang Gu Hall, and the Luotian Sect—are all Immortal Sects guarded by Nascent Soul Earth Immortals, standing above the rest of the Golden Core Upper Sects.

Now, the Dao Sons and Dao Maidens of the three major Immortal Sects have all appeared simultaneously, coming for only one person. If this news spreads, it would surely shock everyone.

Cang Xuan, the Dao Son of the Cang Gu Hall, was a robust young man, dressed strangely, wrapped in a beast hide. His strong, powerful arms were bronze-colored, and vast, oceanic Blood Qi surged from within him.

“You pretty boy from the Red Dust Sect, take a punch from your grandpa!”

The moment Cang Xuan stepped onto the arena, he launched an attack. Blazing Bing Fire shot up thousands of feet high, like a Primordial Savage Bear reviving. He lifted his right arm, shaking the Void Realm, and a terrifying Aura swept across all directions.

The Cang Gu Hall is an Immortal Sect specializing in the Bing Fire Dao. Every Cultivator within the Sect is tall and strong, brimming with Blood Qi. The most outstanding among them can even rival Body Cultivators who practice the Blood Qi Path.

Bing Fire is the Fire of Pure Yang, corresponding to the sun, possessing the characteristic of illuminating all things—majestic, grand, and upright!

Therefore, Cultivators of the Bing Fire Path are like the sunlight radiating from the sun: passionate, surging, single-mindedly seeking victory, and possessing extremely strong ambition.

When dealing with Cultivators of this path, there is no need to hide anything; speaking directly is best.

Yun Qingci’s expression shifted slightly. The Folding Fan he held opened, shimmering with a mysterious azure glow. The four characters ‘Qingci Flowing Cloud’ shone brightly, seemingly coming to life, wriggling like earthworms.

“You dead brute from the Cang Gu Hall, I don’t have time to play with you today!”

As his voice fell, an Ancient Mountain, completely emerald green, flew out from the character ’Qing’. Ancient trees towered, green vines and jade leaves covered it, and a silver waterfall flowed straight down three thousand feet.

Rumble!

The great peak soared through the sky, towering into the clouds, majestic and lifelike.

Yun Qingci waved his Folding Fan, and the emerald Ancient Mountain crushed across the firmament, striking toward the oncoming Cang Xuan.

The latter’s black hair danced wildly, and he grinned, “You pretty boy from the Red Dust Sect, that’s not up to you!”

As he spoke, the Bing Fire on his body flared intensely, like a scorching sun suspended in the sky, illuminating all directions.

A large hand slapped out, colliding with the charging emerald Ancient Mountain, emitting a tremendous roar that shook the sky above, as if it were about to collapse.

Boulders tumbled down, ancient trees toppled, and cracks appeared. A magnificent great peak was thus shattered by Cang Xuan with a single hand, dissolving into countless motes of light.

“Powerful! Come again!”

Cang Xuan’s eyes were bright, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens. Inside his body, it was as if a Primordial Savage Dragon was dormant; terrifying Blood Qi permeated the air, causing the surrounding Void Realm to twist.

“Damn it!”

Yun Qingci cursed under his breath. His magical power surged, and the four characters ‘Qingci Flowing Cloud’ inscribed on the Folding Fan burst forth with brilliant light. Four great peaks appeared consecutively, each more imposing than the last.

The Void Realm rumbled, seemingly bearing unimaginable pressure. Great fissures spread out, and the ten-thousand-foot arena below was also affected, shaking incessantly as if an Earth Dragon had turned over.

The True Monarch [Autumn Kill], seated at the very top, slightly opened his eyes. The arena, originally ten thousand feet across, began to expand until it was as vast as a Small World. Not only could Foundation Establishment level Cultivators fight here, but Purple Mansion True Persons could as well.

However, to the Cultivators in the stands, the arena below showed no change, only that the Aura it emitted had become much more profound.

“Four Peaks Transform into a Boundary, Suppressing the Vastness!”

Yun Qingci chanted an incantation. The four characters on the Folding Fan were no different from an overloaded, high-wattage light bulb; the light they emitted was bright enough to blind people.

The four magnificent great peaks stacked one upon another, with the largest one serving as the base, forming layer upon layer of overlapping mountains.

Finally, a four-story Ancient Pagoda manifested in the air, entirely greenish-blue, as if cast from bronze.

The main gate of the Ancient Pagoda’s first floor burst open, and a Formless Wind blew out. Wherever it passed, everything instantly solidified, including the Void Realm.

This method was somewhat similar to the Divine Ability [Wind and Wave Settling] of the Xun Wind Path. If used by an existence at the level of a Great True Person, it would be enough to freeze ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, turning them into a scroll painting.

Cang Xuan seemed to have encountered this move before. He held a Great Furnace, entirely crimson and burning with raging Bing Fire, in his hands. Veins bulged, making it look as if he were struggling to carry an ancient palace.

The Formless Wind quietly dissipated before it even reached ten feet around him, as if it had been erased from existence.

“As expected of the most outstanding Disciple of the Cang Gu Hall in nearly ten thousand years; his cultivation in the Bing Fire Path must have reached an extremely high level,” a Purple Mansion True Person who also cultivated the Bing Fire Path exclaimed in admiration.

That Formless Wind had dissipated out of thin air because it was subjected to unparalleled heavy pressure.

“Come, continue!” Cang Xuan held the Great Furnace and looked provocatively at Yun Qingci.

The latter’s mouth twitched slightly. He abruptly closed his Folding Fan, and all four gates of the bronze-like Ancient Pagoda opened, unleashing four distinct forces.

The first floor still held the Formless Wind, the second floor contained blazing flames, the third floor held a heaven-reaching flood, and the fourth floor contained black-brown earth.

Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind gathered together. The four forces intermingled, and Chaos-like mist spread out, seemingly splitting heaven and earth, recreating the universe!

A Chaos World, about ten feet in size, appeared, covered in brilliant Runes. Various terrifying things flashed within it, causing people’s hearts to palpitate.

Boom!

The Chaos Small World pressed down. The Void Realm shattered like tofu, and destructive Qi mechanisms impacted all directions. Every Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator present felt their hearts tremble; this was an attack capable of crushing them.

Cang Xuan’s expression was solemn. He knew Yun Qingci was getting serious.

“Let me see how much progress you’ve made over the years!”

The Dao Son of the Cang Gu Hall let out a long roar. His strong physique shook out terrifying Blood Qi. Holding the crimson Great Furnace, he charged upward against the pressure. An ancient Savage Bear Phantom appeared behind him, roaring toward the sky.

He transformed into a crimson streamer, dragging a long tail flame, and swung the Great Furnace in his hand, smashing it furiously onto the descending Chaos Small World.

Rumble!

It was like two meteors colliding, like ten thousand layers of thunder exploding. Fierce and surging energy erupted, and dazzling light shot out, making it impossible to open one’s eyes.

On the other side.

Lin Luoqing, the Dao Maiden of the Luotian Sect, extended her fair, delicate hand. Her five fingers spread open, covered in a glazed glow. Five Sword Rays shot out, tearing through the Void Realm, heading straight for Chen Zhuyun.

The Luotian Sect is a very unique Immortal Sect, primarily focusing on the Xun Wind Path and supplemented by the Sword Dao. Every Disciple is a Swordsman, possessing extreme lethality.

As the contemporary Dao Maiden of the Luotian Sect, Lin Luoqing’s Sword Dao cultivation is extremely high; she can fight Golden Core Core Disciples based on her Sword Dao alone.

If she adds the Xun Wind Path, she can completely crush Golden Core Core Disciples.

Swoosh!

The five glazed Sword Rays were incredibly fast, riding the wind. The distance of ten thousand feet was covered in an instant, and they had already reached Chen Zhuyun.

“A Sword Cultivator?”

Chen Zhuyun raised an eyebrow. He was very familiar with Sword Cultivators; his own younger brother was a Great Sword Cultivator who had comprehended Sword Intent.

Before he could think further, the five Dragon-like glazed Sword Rays had already arrived. The sharp edge pricked his skin painfully.

Chen Zhuyun took a step forward, actively meeting the Sword Rays. His entire body shone with golden light, as if he were clad in an immortal Golden Battle Armor. With a surge of Blood Qi, he met them bare-handed!

Clang!

Like the clash of two Magical Artifacts, thousands of sparks flew. The five glazed Sword Rays shattered one after another, but the Sword Intent contained within them remained condensed and unbroken, cycling repeatedly, clinging to his hands and continuously cutting.

If Chen Zhuxiao’s Sword Intent was about severing ten thousand shackles and being free and unfettered in the Mortal World, then the Sword Intent Lin Luoqing comprehended was like the wind: constantly flowing, formless, and deadly.

Martial Dao True Force surged from Chen Zhuyun’s body, where Yin and Yang intertwined, forming Chaos and Limitless, forcibly grinding away the Sword Intent remaining on his hands.

“Dao Maiden Luoqing’s Sword Dao cultivation is rarely seen in my life, second only to one person.”

Lin Luoqing’s willow brows arched slightly, and she asked curiously, “Second only to whom?”

“My younger brother, Chen Zhuxiao.”

As he spoke, Chen Zhuyun took the initiative to attack. Dragon-like Blood Qi rushed out from the crown of his head, forming a Blood Qi Pillar that pierced the firmament, its momentum frightening.

A Golden Fist Seal shattered the vacuum, like a Golden Sun falling from an Outer Domain. The arena seemed to ignite. While the light was intense, terrifying fluctuations emanated from it, shaking all directions.

Martial Dao Supreme Technique: Crimson Sun Limitless Fist!

Lin Luoqing’s pretty face was serious. Her slender right hand’s fingers were crystalline, Sword Intent condensed upon them, and her Qi rushed toward the stars. Five Mountain-like Sword Rays pierced the Void Realm and slashed straight toward him.

This was a terrifying Spell recorded in the Luotian Sect, which only Disciples of the Luotian Sect who mastered Sword Intent were qualified to learn.

The Spell was called Heaven-Severing Sword Finger, with Sword Intent as the core and magical power as the carrier. The higher the Sword Dao cultivation, the greater the power.

Legend has it that the Founding Ancestral Master of the Luotian Sect was a renowned Great Sword Immortal and a Great Grandmaster of the Sword Dao. Relying solely on his Sword Dao cultivation, he could sever the sun, moon, and stars and contend with the Great Venerables of the Immortal Dao.

It can be said that the Sword Dao also has a dao position.

However, there is no distinction between primary and secondary positions; there has only ever been one Sword dao position throughout history: the Sword Dao dao position.

In this world, only one person has ever managed to occupy that position purely through the Sword Dao. He achieved the Dao before the Ancient Times and was revered as the Sword Ancestor.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Sword Ancestor that the Sword Dao surpasses other special paths like the Saber Dao and Spear Dao, and it is also because the Sword Dao dao position exists between heaven and earth that the might of Sword Cultivators is so formidable.

In the arena.

Chen Zhuyun exerted the ultimate posture of a Martial Artist. His Physical Body was like a Dragon, his Blood Qi like a sea, resembling an unparalleled God of War. He swung his fists, and his Fist Intent of Charging Forward transmitted through the Void Realm, making many Cultivators feel as if a great peak were pressing down on their hearts, nearly suffocating them.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The glazed Sword Rays were indestructible, and the Sword Intent wrapped around them tore through the Void Realm, capable of slicing even Second-tier Magical Artifacts, yet they failed to breach Chen Zhuyun’s defense.

The Chaos-like Martial Dao True Force was extremely miraculous and incomparably tough, giving a sense of Yin and Yang harmony, Primal Chaos and Limitless.

“Dao Brother Zhuyun’s Martial Dao Gangsha Realm is indeed miraculous.”

After Lin Luoqing praised him, a Lapis Lazuli Long Sword appeared in her hand. Her long dress moved without wind, fluttering noisily.

Then, gusts of fierce wind blew, forming Wind Tornadoes that connected heaven and earth. The Dao Maiden stood gracefully within them, holding her long sword.

“Dao Brother Zhuyun, please!”

As her voice faded, the fierce wind tore the sky, and the Sword Light shattered the Void Realm.

It could be said that the long sword unsheathed draws the wind’s hiss; before the cold light arrives, the Qi has already rushed forth.

Chen Zhuyun’s eyes were blazing, his black hair danced wildly, surging Blood Qi churned, and Martial Dao True Force roared. He swung his fists and charged forward... The four people mixed into a fierce melee, leaving only Chen Zhuxiao standing there bewildered.

“I should just go back and watch the fight.”

Just as he was about to leave the arena, a voice filled with resentment and hatred sounded in his ear.

“Chen Zhuxiao!”

He turned around, and a tall figure came into view.

The figure was clad in a dark red battle robe, holding the Lihuo Sky Halberd. A scar marked his left eye, while his right eye burned with raging fury, hatred, and an extremely chilling killing intent!

“You are... Li Junyan?!”
