In the Sword Sect Ruins, Yang Xuanzong glared at me with anger, while Nangong leaped onto the Forging Platform, attempting to pull out the Evil Weapon floating above the Poison Flame. I transmitted a message to Yunxi, saying, "Yunxi, stop Nangong. I'll deal with Yang Xuanzong."
As the head of the Yang Family, Yang Xuanzong was nearly a hundred years old and a formidable figure in the late Mahayana Realm. Among the leaders of the Five Major Sects, he possessed the highest level of power, surpassing Li Chang'an by more than a tier.
Yunxi nodded and positioned herself in front of Nangong. Nangong looked at Yunxi and said, "You survived my Five Poisons True Fire last time. If you don't know your place this time, I'll kill you again."
Yunxi's expression turned icy as she spread her arms wide, slashing at Nangong with Tai Xu Ling. The Sword Sect Ruins trembled violently, and the air vibrated. Those rushing from afar halted in their tracks, too afraid to advance.
Frowning, Nangong ignited flames around him and suddenly punched the ground. Fire erupted from beneath, causing the earth to shake. Yunxi soared into the air on her Tai Xu Ling, and Nangong pointed at her, saying, "Do you think that just because you have a divine artifact I can't kill you?"
The Five Poisons True Fire coalesced before Nangong as poisonous arrows shot forth. Yunxi's Tai Xu Ling whirled around her, stirring the air and dispersing the poisonous arrows formed from the Five Poisons True Fire. Suddenly, Nangong let out a muffled groan as an earring-like object pierced through his back and swiftly returned to rest beneath Yunxi's ear.
Yunxi landed gracefully as Tai Xu Ling danced around her. Nangong furrowed his brow; the flames surrounding him dissipated as he exclaimed in shock, "I can't muster Dao Qi! What's happening?"
Yu Youya replied, "Master, it's Dragon Vein Imperial Qi. Li Chang'an was also injured in his Meridians by this Spirit Energy."
Nangong retreated while Yunxi declared, "To destroy my Azure Cloud Sect, I'll take you down first!"
"Protect the Master!" Yu Youya shouted.
A large group of Elders from the Divine Serpent Sect rushed forward to shield Nangong. Yunxi swung her Tai Xu Ling; wherever it passed, severed limbs and broken bodies littered the ground—no one could stand against her.
Yu Youya guarded Nangong as his face twisted with anger. In a moment of carelessness, he fell into a trap. He spat out a Flame Demon Orb and crushed it violently. A burst of red light surged from within the orb and was drawn into his mouth. Instantly, Nangong's body turned crimson; his hair and eyebrows blazed like fire. Even Yu Youya had to retreat a bit.
"Dragon Vein Imperial Qi cannot extinguish Old Man's True Fire of Taiyi," Nangong said coldly.
Yunxi stared at Nangong with icy resolve as Tai Xu Ling enveloped him to prevent being burned by the True Fire of Taiyi. Meanwhile, Yang Xuanzong had already engaged me in battle; his sleeves billowed as he unleashed a Black Blade from the void. I had no choice but to dodge with all my might. The Yang Family excelled in Void Techniques; even if I used Time Walk, my mixed training meant that one careless move could lead to being struck by his void Black Blade—resulting in bitter regret.
At that moment, a large number of experts rushed to the lake surrounding the Sword Pavilion.
"Haozi, we are here!" Wu shouted as he sped across the Lake Surface. Behind him were Yang Sanqian and Jiyao.
From a distance, Yang Sanqian suddenly blew a breath toward the Yang Family direction. Yang Xuanzong immediately jumped aside with Li Chang'an. Where the breath of immortality passed, everything withered to ashes. Some Yang Family experts who couldn't dodge in time turned into skeletons, their life essence dissipating.
Yang Xuanzong glared at Yang Sanqian and said bitterly, "The Ancestor should have crippled you and expelled you from the Yang Family back then, ungrateful wolf!"
Yang Sanqian ignored him and landed beside me with Jiyao. Jiyao looked at me closely and asked, "Son, what happened to you?"
I frowned and glanced at Wu, who quickly waved his hands and said, "I haven't done anything."
Yang Sanqian said, "It was Master Hai Deng who told us, Hao. The Dao Yi Path is the Immortal Path; those who have tried it throughout history have all met their doom. Why didn't you withdraw in time?"
I replied, "It's too late for that now; what good would it do? I've faced death several times and survived. The Injury of the Dao isn't something that can easily take my life."
Yang Sanqian felt my pulse, probing my Dao Qi into my Meridians as if it had sunk into the sea.
I explained, "Both Yunxi and I have the Spirit Vein Imperial Qi from beneath Futu Ridge in our bodies. Once transformed into our own Dao Qi, it restrains other Dao Qi, making it impossible for others to probe into my condition."
Jiyao said, "Didn't the Saint Sovereign teach you Renewal of Withered Trees? Now that you are in the Dao Fruit Realm, practicing it to great success could restore your youth and revive dead trees."
I shook my head and replied, "Mother, it's useless. I've already tried it. You two hold off Nangong and Yang Xuanzong; I'll go retrieve the Evil Weapon."
Yang Sanqian and Yunxi nodded. Yang Sanqian stepped forward to confront Yang Xuanzong while Jiyao faced Nangong.
"I'll go help Dongfang Yuqing deal with Zhang Xing!"
I leaped up and dashed toward the Forging Platform, just as Miao Shengnan was approaching from a distance. I frowned at Miao Shengnan; was she also trying to get involved at this moment?
Sure enough, when Miao Shengnan saw me draw my sword, she halted, her expression hesitant.
At that moment, an old Taoist suddenly appeared, his Dust Whisk flying through the air. He had an ethereal demeanor and a calm expression.
"The bloodthirsty aura on this Evil Weapon is too heavy. Anyone with the Way of Power who draws it risks severe backlash; it's better to let the Old Man handle it," the old Taoist said as he descended, sweeping his Dust Whisk, which emitted a green light that shielded me.
"Who are you?" I asked warily, sensing that this person possessed immense power—at least at the Mahayana Realm.
The old Taoist stroked his beard and replied, "I am Taihe Zhenren."
"Taihe Zhenren? Are you from a different sect of Wudang Mountain?" I inquired.
Taihe Zhenren responded, "Incorrect. My Taihe Sect is the true orthodox sect of Wudang Mountain. Back in the day, the founder of my Taihe Sect took Zhang Sanfeng as a disciple and taught him Righteous Qi. Who would have thought that after six hundred years, it has become a dispensable relic of Daoist Arts? I am utterly disappointed!"
Wudang Mountain was known as Taihe Mountain seven hundred years ago. On that mountain was Taihe Zhenren, under whom Zhang Sanfeng studied and ultimately achieved fame as a Martial Sage, leading to the establishment of Wudang Sect. The mountain was then renamed Wudang Mountain, but the legacy of Taihe Mountain remained intact. Thus, for centuries, there has been a saying in Daoist Sect circles: above Wudang Sect lies another sect called Taihe Sect.
Ancient texts record that Taihe Sect possesses an Ultimate Technique above Righteous Qi called Righteous Qi, reputed to be an absolute defense technique, comparable to the Buddhist Sect's legendary Vajra Invulnerability Technique. It allows one’s physical body to reach a sacred state where immortals cannot be harmed by Daoist Arts.
In the distance, Dongfang Yuqing, Wuhe, and Zhang Dao'an paused upon hearing the words of the Zhenren, looking at him with expressions of doubt. Zhang Xing also turned to Taihe Zhenren and said, "Since you are from our Wudang Mountain's upper sect, please eliminate these nuisances and seize the Evil Weapon to restore Wudang Mountain!"
"This is feasible," Taihe Zhenren said hesitantly, seemingly deep in thought. "However..."
"What is it?" Zhang Xing asked.
Taihe Zhenren replied, "The credit for the destruction of Wudang. Shouldn't you have a share in that? Should I eliminate you first?"
Zhang Xing said, "The destruction of Wudang was ordered by the sect leader. I have endured humiliation for many days, and now I have finally avenged my great enmity by using the Seven Star Sword Technique to wipe out the Sword Pavilion. Once I clear away these pests, I can obtain the Evil Weapon!"
Taihe Zhenren remarked, "Your words are pleasant, but I have no interest in reviving Wudang Mountain. I, Taihe Zhenren, act solely based on my preferences. Just now, I observed your fight against the Immortal from a distance. A while ago, I had a battle with someone named Guo Daozhen without using the Taihe Sect's ultimate technique, Righteousness Song. Since you possess Demonic Energy, why not have a match with the Old Man first? If you win, I'll help you kill!"
With that, Taihe Zhenren flew toward Zhang Xing. The Dust Whisk in his hand swept out, causing the ground to crack and the air to tremble as Dao Qi lifted countless flying sand and stones. Zhang Xing dodged to the side and cursed, "You old Immortal beast! Sooner or later, I'll blow you up for not listening to advice!"
Taihe Zhenren laughed heartily as he watched Zhang Xing flee in panic. At that moment, the Evil Weapon suddenly stirred and slowly rose from the Poison Flame.
"The Evil Weapon is about to appear!" Everyone looked toward the floating Evil Weapon and rushed toward it.
Next to the Forging Platform, Tai Xu Ling had been enveloping Yunxi within her embrace like a bud. At this moment, Tai Xu Ling's bud blossomed, releasing an extreme chill that swept over everyone. Centered around Yunxi, everyone was instantly frozen—Miao Shengnan, Taihe Zhenren, Yang Sanqian, Jiyao, Nangong, and Yang Xuanzong were all trapped beneath the ice.
I too was frozen and unable to move.
"Yunxi, what are you doing?" I asked through thought transmission.
Yunxi emerged from the bud like a crystal beauty. She gently touched me with her finger, shattering the ice layer. I couldn't help but shiver; this was the Divine Ability brought to Yunxi by Water Linglong.
Yunxi said, "Hurry and get the sword. They will break free in just a few breaths."
I nodded and ascended the Forging Platform. Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from above the clouds as a flying shuttle appeared, slicing through the air toward me.
I had to step back as Nangong Yun descended, landing on the Forging Platform. He turned to Yunxi and said, "Thank you, miss. Luckily, I am a master of the Fire Path; otherwise, I would have been frozen solid. This Evil Weapon belongs to the Old Man now."
Nangong Yun grasped the Evil Weapon tightly and pulled it out with a sudden force, causing the ground to tremble and the sun and moon to shine together. At that moment, two Dao Bodies were rushing over—Guo Daozhen and Guo Huaiyi.
"Don't pull out the Evil Weapon!" Guo Daozhen shouted.
The father and son landed in the arena. Guo Daozhen looked at Nangong Yun holding the Evil Weapon, and the ritual text broke free, slowly merging into the Divine Weapon.
"Fool!" Guo Daozhen cursed in anger.
"Dad, we need to get out of here!" Guo Huaiyi said, his face filled with terror.
The ice began to melt gradually, and everyone broke free, confused about what was happening.
Guo Daozhen glanced at me and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet? The Evil Weapon has emerged; all living beings within a hundred miles will be pierced through by a single strike. People are going to die!"
