Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

359: Section 359Ecstasy instantly ignited everyone’s emotions. The previously restrained atmosphere vanished as powerful auras soared into the sky, and everyone raised their vigilance to the extreme.

The looks directed at those nearby were filled with undisguised hostility and competition. A tragic chaotic battle for the slots seemed on the verge of breaking out.

At this tense moment, the arrival of a group caused the boiling atmosphere to freeze.

Yun Xiancheng walked with his hands behind his back, his steps leisurely as if strolling through a garden, leading the group of Young ladies—each uniquely beautiful and stunning—to the summit.

Behind him, Mu Qingluan followed with her arms crossed and an indifferent expression, maintaining a moderate distance from the group. This party’s vibe was completely out of place among the murderous experts surrounding them.

Especially Yun Xiancheng at the lead; his aura, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm, untainted by dust, appeared particularly jarring on this battlefield that was about to turn into a meat grinder.

”Hmph, where did this pretty boy come from, bringing a group of women here for a sightseeing trip?”

”Look at the beauty of those women, tsk tsk, truly peerless in the world! This kid is quite lucky!”

A few sour comments rang out, but more people turned their gazes toward Feng Qing’er beside Yun Xiancheng.

”Isn’t that... Young Pavilion Master Feng Qing’er of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion? Why is she with this group?” ”Look at her submissive appearance... My god, Feng Qing’er has been... by this man!”

All sorts of gazes filled with shock, jealousy, and disdain fell upon Feng Qing’er. If it were in the past, with Feng Qing’er’s pride, she would have drawn her sword on the spot.

But now, she only shrunk into Yun Xiancheng’s embrace with a slightly flushed face. Instead of feeling humiliated, her eyes were filled with sweetness and pride. How could you commoners understand my husband’s virtues?

Being able to become his woman is the greatest fortune of my life.

Yun Xiancheng ignored the surrounding chatter. He merely glanced indifferently at the ten blood pools and the group of restless ”examinees,” the corners of his mouth curling into a...

playful smile.

”It seems today’s Chief Examiner is playing truant,” he said softly.

Before his voice faded, his figure flickered. Before anyone could react, he had appeared like a ghost at the highest point of the mountain, on that giant rock where traditionally only...

the leaders of the Gold-Devouring Mouse Clan were qualified to stand.

He sat cross-legged casually, his snow-white robes flapping in the mountain wind.

A pair of eyes, deep as the starry sky, looked down indifferently at everyone below. His gentle yet clear voice reached everyone’s ears:

”Since there is no one here to preside, I shall take over the examination for the Tianshan Blood Pool today. Only those who pass my test may enter the pool.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into a dead silence, followed by a thunderous uproar and laughter. ”Did I hear that right? Is this kid crazy? Who does he think he is?”

”Take over the examination? He’s not worthy! He’s just a pretty boy with a nice face, does he really think he’s someone important?”

Wang Chen of the Yellow Spring Pavilion chuckled sinisterly, ”Kid, you want to be the Chief Examiner? Did you ask if we agree? The slots for the Tianshan Blood Pool have always been decided by strength, not by looks!”

Tang Ying of the Fangjian Pavilion was even more direct; his long sword left its scabbard by half an inch, emitting a chilling sword intent. ”Get down from there immediately, or die!” Facing the doubt and killing intent that threatened to submerge him, Yun Xiancheng’s smile remained unchanged.

He simply extended a finger and hooked it lightly toward Wang Chen and Tang Ying, who were shouting the loudest. ”Not convinced?” he said calmly. ”The two of you, come at me together.”

”Arrogant!” ”You’re looking for death!”

Being so blatantly disregarded, Wang Chen and Tang Ying were furious.

They exchanged a look and instantly reached a tacit understanding, turning into two streaks of light. From left and right, they charged toward Yun Xiancheng on the giant rock with world-destroying power!

”Yellow Spring Finger!” Wang Chen pointed out, and a gray finger-wind containing extreme cold and corrosive power pierced through the void, aiming straight for Yun Xiancheng’s brow. ”Startling Rainbow Line!” Tang Ying’s sword was even faster; a flash of sword light appeared like a ram’s horn hanging on a hook, untraceable, targeting Yun Xiancheng’s throat.

Both of them were the elite of the younger generation of the Four Pavilions. Their combined strike was powerful enough to make any Peak Dou Huang expert of the same level change color.

However, facing this deadly pincer attack, Yun Xiancheng didn’t even lift an eyelid. He simply threw out a punch to his left and right at random.

There was no earth-shattering explosion of Dou Qi, nor any gorgeous and dazzling Dou Technique light effects.

They were just two ordinary punches that looked light and airy, as if he were merely shooing away two annoying flies. In the next moment, a scene that made everyone’s eyes pop occurred.

The moment those seemingly light punches made contact with the finger-wind and the sword tip, the sneers on Wang Chen’s and Tang Ying’s faces froze, replaced by endless shock and terror.

They felt as if they had crashed into an ancient divine mountain, an invincible and boundless terrifying force...

surged into their bodies through their fingertips and sword tips, destroying everything in its path. Their protective Dou Qi shattered instantly like paper. ”Pfft—!”

Two arrows of blood sprayed wildly from their mouths like fountains. Their bodies were like scarecrows hit head-on by high-speed magical beast mounts.

They flew backward ten times faster than they had come, drawing two miserable parabolas in the air, before crashing heavily into the mountain wall a hundred meters away, their lives uncertain.

Just one punch!

The two top genius disciples of the Four Pavilions hadn’t even touched the corner of the opponent’s clothes before being beaten into dead dogs! The entire area fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s faces were filled with daze and disbelief. Those experts who had previously mocked Yun Xiancheng for being a pretty boy were now so terrified that their faces were pale and their legs shook like sieves.

”Dou... Dou Zong?! He... he’s a Dou Zong!”

Finally, someone shouted the answer that made everyone’s scalp tingle in a trembling voice.

”Impossible! The Tianshan Blood Pool has restrictions based on the rules of heaven and earth; a Dou Zong cannot enter at all! How... how did he get in?!” This question lingered in everyone’s hearts.

They looked in terror at the white-clothed youth on the giant rock, who remained as calm as a light breeze. They only felt that his figure...

at this moment became incredibly towering, mysterious, and... terrifying. A Dou Zong who could ignore the rules of heaven and earth... what kind of monster was this?! ”Now, is there anyone else who is not convinced?”

Yun Xiancheng’s calm voice rang out again. This time, no one dared to have the slightest doubt. Everyone lowered their heads, silent as cicadas in winter.

In the face of absolute strength, any fluke or unwillingness seemed so laughable. Seeing that no one had any further objections, Yun Xiancheng nodded with satisfaction.

”Very well.” He slowly closed his eyes. In the next moment, an invisible and intangible...

yet terrifying aura that seemed capable of crushing the soul spread from his body.

This aura was not Dou Qi pressure; it was older, more vast, carrying a supreme majesty that judged all things and slaughtered gods and demons. It was precisely the slight divine charm released after the Slaughtering Platform was activated!

Under the shroud of this aura, the twenty-odd Dou Huang experts were instantly struck as if by lightning.

They felt as if they had been stripped naked and thrown onto an execution platform covered in blades.

Their souls, their pasts, and even every thought in the deepest part of their hearts were scrutinized clearly under that brilliant heavenly majesty.

Any bit of slaughter, sin, or evil thought was infinitely magnified at this moment, turning into blades that pierced the soul. ”Ah—!”

A rogue expert who usually murdered and robbed, and was steeped in evil, was the first to be unable to bear it.

Clutching his head, he let out a shrill scream, his eyes bleeding. Like a madman, he scrambled and crawled down the mountain. Then, a second, a third.

Those with weak wills or whose hands were stained with too much innocent blood collapsed mentally one by one, being eliminated in a disgraceful manner. In just over ten breaths, of the twenty-odd people who were originally standing, only seven or eight remained.

These remaining few were also pale-faced, drenched in cold sweat, and kneeling on the ground, struggling to hold on—clearly at the end of their tether. However, they were able to persevere until now because they had committed fewer slaughters and had thus received a certain degree of mental strength enhancement.

Amidst this scene of widespread misery, two spots appeared particularly ”out of place.” One, naturally, was the group of Young ladies around Yun Xiancheng.

Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and the others not only felt no pressure, but instead found the aura gentle and welcoming, as if they were bathing in a spring breeze. Feng Qing’er gazed infatuatedly at Yun Xiancheng’s back, feeling as though she were worshipping a true deity, her heart filled with awe and adoration. The other spot was Mu Qingluan.

She also felt that terrifying majesty, but unlike the others, the moment the aura touched her body, it became much gentler, transforming from a gale capable of cleaving mountains into a light breeze brushing against willow branches.

Although it still made her heart race, it was entirely within a bearable range. This aura... seemed to be discriminating?

”It has no hostility toward me... and for those women, it’s even like a caress...” In Mu Qingluan’s clear eyes, deep suspicion and confusion flickered.

She saw clearly that this so-called ”assessment” was nothing more than a complete ”rigged deal”! Finally, as the aura slowly receded, atop the mountain peak:

Aside from Yun Xiancheng and the ten women by his side, only Mu Qingluan remained standing in place with her arms crossed, her expression complex.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Mu Qingluan cleared her throat, a hint of unnaturalness appearing on her small face for the first time.

Breaking the silence, she pointed at the ten blood pools and then at the people present, posing the most critical question. ”There are only ten spots in total.”

Her voice remained crisp. ”Counting you, there are eleven people now. How do we divide them?”

Without a second thought, Xiao Yan said, ”Then I’ll take a rest for a while.”

”No, let it be me. I’m at the Peak Dou Zong level; this thing is useless to me,” Yun Yan stepped forward and said.

Zi Yan watched for a moment and also spoke:

”This dragon has no need for such things. You guys go ahead.”

Just as a new ”internal conflict” was about to erupt, Yun Xiancheng opened his eyes at that moment and chuckled. He floated down from the giant rock and walked over to Mu Qingluan.

He reached out and smilingly rubbed her small head before she could react. ”Who said there are eleven people?”

Withdrawing his hand, he glanced around at the women beside him, finally letting his gaze rest on Mu Qingluan as he said in a matter-of-fact tone:

”You all go down. This Tianshan Blood Pool is indeed quite effective for cleansing the meridians and marrow. However...” He pointed at himself, a faint hint of pride on his face.

”I possess a Stainless Body. For me, soaking in this would be a waste; it is of no use to me.”

Hearing this, Mu Qingluan’s arms tightened across her chest. Her eyes, clear as cold stars, looked Yun Xiancheng up and down, her gaze filled with:

”I’ll believe you when pigs fly.”

A Stainless Body? What kind of constitution is that? Why have I never seen it in any ancient records? This guy is clearly just showing off without making it obvious, right?

But... whatever. Since he’s willing to give up this immense opportunity, it’s a good thing for me regardless.

Although she grumbled inwardly, she maintained her professional demeanor on the surface. She gave Yun Xiancheng a slight nod and said in a business-like tone:

”In that case, thank you. Young Master Yun is truly noble; consider it that I, Mu Qingluan, owe you a favor.”

”A good person?” Yun Xiancheng chuckled and shook his head upon hearing her words. ”I’m no good person; it’s just that this blood pool is truly useless to me. No need to be polite, just focus on your cultivation.”

However, just as Mu Qingluan thought the matter was settled and everyone could start taking their turns,

the scene that followed left this favored daughter of heaven, who was used to grand occasions, completely petrified. ”Great! Husband is the best!”

”Sisters, let’s start soaking! We can’t let Husband’s kind intentions go to waste!”

Amidst a burst of cheers and jumps of joy, the group of breathtakingly beautiful Young ladies beside Yun Xiancheng...

...actually showed no reservation at all. Right there in broad daylight, in front of Yun Xiancheng and her, they began... taking off their clothes.

Even if there was no one else around and the blood pool had been activated—completely sealing itself off—theoretically, she, Mu Qingluan, was still an outsider! Rustle—

Xiao Yan was the first to act. She swiftly unzipped her capable black martial arts outfit,

tossing it aside to reveal a daringly designed black lace swimsuit with pitifully little fabric. Against the backdrop of the black lace, her flat figure... well, it still had some curves.

She even spun around proudly in front of Yun Xiancheng, puffing out her chest and throwing a wink. ”Husband, do I look good? This is the ’battle armor’ I specially prepared for you!”

With Xiao Yan leading the way, the others followed suit, some even going further.

Nalan Yanran removed the somewhat conservative moon-white robes of the Cloud Mist Sect and changed into a sky-blue bikini.

It perfectly outlined her elegant and well-proportioned figure, like a white swan, exuding a hint of fatal sexiness amidst her purity. Feng Qing’er was even bolder; she shed her magnificent seven-colored dress and swapped it for a bright red three-point swimsuit.

It accentuated her increasingly mature and charming body, making her look like a ripe peach, inviting one to pluck. Even the sisters of the Han Family, who were conservative by nature, were swept up by the others’ excitement.

Blushing furiously, they changed into relatively conservative one-piece swimsuits, yet the fabric clinging to their bodies still fully revealed their slender curves.

For a moment, the mountain peak was filled with boundless beauty.

Each had her own charm, whether curvaceous or slender. Some were fiery, some pure, some charming, some gentle... ten peerless Young ladies stood openly before Yun Xiancheng.

They were showing off the bodies they were most proud of just for him, chirping away like a flock of larks about to play in the water. ”Husband, Husband, what do you think of this one? Doesn’t it make my legs look especially long?”

”Get out of here, mine clearly highlights the waist more! Husband, am I right?” ”Lord Guan, help me check, is the strap in the back a bit...”

These impossibly beautiful girls vied for Yun Xiancheng’s favor one after another, their soft voices, flirtatious glances, and intimate, natural postures...

No matter how resilient Mu Qingluan’s mental state was, she was completely dumbfounded now.

She stood frozen as if a paralysis spell had been cast on her, her mind a total blank. This... this... what is going on?! How... how do they dare?!

In Mu Qingluan’s world, men and women should maintain a respectful distance, and women should remain reserved and dignified in front of men. But this erotic scene before her eyes completely overturned her worldview.

These weren’t fairies from famous sects at all; they were clearly a bunch of... a bunch of vixens specifically meant to please a man!

And that man, surrounded by beauties, showed no sign of embarrassment or intent to stop them. Crazy. This world must have gone crazy.

Pure as a white sheet of paper, little Mu Qingluan felt her worldview collapsing, rebuilding, and then collapsing again.

While she was petrified, Yun Xiancheng’s clear and gentle voice rang out seriously amidst this erotic and lingering atmosphere, sounding quite out of place.

”Alright, stop fooling around. Let’s talk business.”

He clapped his hands, drawing all the women’s attention.

”The deeper you go into this Tianshan Blood Pool, the purer the energy becomes, and the better the effect of cleansing your meridians and marrow. However, the power of the fire poison contained within...”

”...will also surge accordingly. If an ordinary Dou Zong is unprepared, it’s very easy to fall victim to it, resulting in damaged meridians at best, or qi deviation at worst.”

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Xiao Yan.

”So, once you go down, all of you must stay close to Xiao Yan at all times; do not wander off. I will have her activate a Heavenly Flame to form a protective circle to shield you from the fire poison’s intrusion. But even so, your cultivation time at the bottom must not be too long. You must act within your limits. Do you understand?”
