Hong Yulong was taken aback, taking a moment to regain his composure. He looked seriously at Xiao Zhang and cautiously asked, "I won't really hand over One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to Jiang, will I?"
How could that be? He hadn't even mastered it himself. Xiao Zhang smirked, thinking that if Hong Yulong saw One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones or the Three Talents Sword Formation, it would surely scare him to death. Little did he know that Hong Yulong was worried that Xiao Zhang might mess things up, making an already unstoppable force even more formidable. He had merely exchanged a secret technique jade slip for his entry promise.
Pfft.
Just as Hong Yulong relaxed, he accidentally sprayed tea all over the table. Even Hong Ling, who was aware of her identity, looked sternly at Xiao Zhang, wondering what kind of enchantment he had cast on him that made him so careless with their secret techniques.
Am I really afraid he might run away?
"What's the matter, Coco? Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, he still won't escape from us Cheng Zong. Once the Sky East Tournament is over, I'll take him back to the mountain gate for the initiation ceremony."
So does that mean he's going to let me Liu Dong go?
Before Hong Ling could finish her sentence, she speculated that Ye Youluo must have a purpose for coming to Tiandong City. Although she didn't know exactly what it was, she couldn't deny that they had to be cautious. If Ye Youluo was indeed planning to stir up trouble in Tiandong City while the elders of Universe Hall and the Stewards were preoccupied, their young Transcendence and Nascent Soul Cultivators might play an unexpected role.
Do I really think Ye Xiezi would dare to cause trouble there?
Xiao Zhang found it hard to believe. Just because his name was Xiao Zhang didn't mean he lacked intelligence. Without a second thought, he realized that a holy city standing for countless years without a Mahayana Practitioner in charge was hard to believe. Even if there were external invasions, Tiandong City could rely on items like the Celestial Decree to summon the Immortal Eastern Realm. Therefore, no matter what Ye Youluo did, it seemed impossible for him to succeed in the eyes of others. Moreover, how could Feitian Dongcheng dare to open up to all beings from the Ninth Underworld and Dust Realm? After all, humanity currently held dominion over that realm; no other beings could shake their ruling status.
Little did he know that Keke's feints and distractions were at play; just mentioning Guang Nao and Ye Xiezi was enough to draw attention, not to mention that he himself was currently part of the Sky East Tournament team.
What do I feel about this? Xiao Zhang pondered further.
Feelings?
Hong Yulong recalled Yi Dong. Although their encounters had been brief and he had been forced to withdraw early from battle due to being overwhelmed, he couldn't deny that Liu Dong left an indelible impression on him. At this moment, when Xiao Zhang mentioned No, it triggered memories of Yi Dong's leg techniques against Ye Youluo.
The Underworld River's descent should involve Youluo's Spell; it felt like being rejected by the entire realm. He had relied on his Artifact Spirit to break through. As for the later Black-Red Chess Piece, it resembled a manifestation of rules—an overwhelming pure realm crushing down upon him. It couldn't be denied that shortly after entering Transcendence, Ye Youluo might have already touched upon another level.
Refining Spirit and Returning to Void? Xiao Zhang smacked his lips, "No way, right? Bu Fou He's invincible, and how old is he?"
Even if Xiao Zhang didn't acknowledge it, Ye Youluo had risen to fame before him and Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. However, their ages were still younger than his and Tenglan's. That was the most terrifying thing. Speaking of which, wasn't Yan Dong and that sword-wielding Zhang Liuyuan also small monsters? Who knows, they might grow up to rival Ye Youluo, Xiao Zhang thought.
Had he ever considered that he might be deliberately suppressing his spiritual power to avoid breaking through, continuously growing without any boundaries? Hong Yulong lightly tapped the teacup with his leg; after two splashes, the tea had already been squandered. Now, as he tapped the teacup again, it produced a crisp sound. At that moment, facing Ye Youluo, he felt as if he were confronting the Ninth Underworld. A mysterious energy emerged, perfectly blending with the teacup, creating a sensation that was almost surreal.
Fusion
Although Hong Yulong didn't continue speaking, both of them knew from having seen true Integration Stage cultivators outside the Sect that such a feeling could only be experienced when coming into contact with a true master of the Integration Stage. The phenomenon of being unable to contain one's own realm was evident. But if Ye Youluo were to reach fifty years old at most, what would it mean for a cultivator of that age? It would likely require an immortal to explain everything.
Even if Ye Youluo were a Great Master of the Integration Stage, she still hadn't stepped into the realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void. Even if she hadn't reached the peak of her powers in the Universe Hall, elders and stewards would still be caught up in her presence. It was not something an ordinary Transcendence Stage cultivator could overlook.
Genius cultivators often fought above their level, and Ye Youluo was no ordinary genius. If one were to say she lacked the ability to fight above her level, no one would believe it. Moreover, no one had ever seen her magical artifacts; thus, it was speculated that she at least possessed a top-tier artifact or perhaps even a broken True Artifact. The ambitions of both Hades and the Youluo Family were grand enough that it wouldn't make sense for their young leader, Ye Youluo, not to have even a broken True Artifact. That would be too petty; unlike other major sects that kept even broken artifacts at home for display, with two powerful figures backing her up, it was impossible for her not to have a broken artifact. This led to conclusions drawn during discussions with Hong Yulong and Liu Dong.
Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine. Xiao Zhang sighed inwardly as the previously quiet crowd began to stir with noise because someone was rushing towards them from behind Liangxiaoshan. The speed was definitely beyond what an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator could achieve.
The guard at the checkpoint of Liangxiaoshan, whether from the Universe Hall Middleman, had secretly released news but did not disclose the specific name of the guardian. Finally, Yan Dong could confirm who was stationed there.
Xiao Zhang remembered seeing Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. riding a Red Tiger Ying Zhan, along with members from the Moon River Sect Sister Cheng Lin, and among the loose cultivators were Zhang Chunlin and Guo Jia. The only remaining transcendent practitioner was likely the Night Emperor. As for Ye Youluo, there was hardly anyone who had seen her in action since she came from the depths of the Ninth Underworld. Regardless of who guarded between them at Liangxiaoshan, those attempting to breach would find it far from easy. Although breaching might seem simple—just rushing past the defenses—getting there in full speed would take even a transcendent practitioner two days from the direction of the Giant Hero Pass. With such a long time without doing anything, they couldn't just wait around for someone to breach their defenses; surely none of those three would be foolish enough to do so.
At the bottom of the valley in Liangxiaoshan, a figure in black floated gracefully between heaven and earth. The black robe billowed like waves crashing against rivers while wind swirled around him. A blood-red belt adorned his waist, engraved with flowers most people had never seen before. His long black hair was tied up with a slender red ribbon. From behind, one might mistake him for a tall woman; however, facing this person directly revealed an overwhelming aura radiating from him.
Sima Wuduan
That name stood out compared to those like Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. Many recognized it due to the recent events at the Sky East Tournament where they learned about a less-than-a-hundred-year-old transcendent practitioner from the Ninth Underworld who had made waves in discussions with various major sects at the Universe Hall. Unlike others near that age bracket, however, Sima Wuduan's prowess at the Transcendence Stage wasn't particularly shocking.
As he gazed at Sima Wuduan's robe fluttering in the breeze, Xiao Zhang hesitated before speaking words that shocked all surrounding cultivators: "He must be that person with the highest cultivation level from this year's Sky East Tournament."
In the past Sky East Tournament, those who reached nearly a hundred years of age could break through to the early stages of Transcendence and hit the No Boundary ceiling. The strongest individuals from previous tournaments often transformed into mid-stage Bu Luo, and cultivators who were solely focused on pursuing higher realms typically did not possess strong combat abilities. Therefore, the first place in Tiandong usually went to those around sixty or seventy years old, who were in the early stages of Transcendence but had the talent to fight beyond their level.
However, this time Xiao Zhang felt that Sima Wuduan, who was older than their youthful competitors, might be the one to break that record.
The Azure Robe Azure Bird gradually enlarged as it approached Liangxiaoshan, stopping slowly a hundred zhang away. Walking on the Azure Wind Antelope, Sima Wuduan was in Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. After breaking through two barriers, he was indeed the first to arrive, albeit a bit slower than expected by two days. It seemed he had made ample preparations before rushing over; it appeared that the outcome of that Sky East Tournament was still fresh in his mind.
At Mok Ming Academy, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, requested guidance.
Youluo and Sima Wuduan faced each other.
The aura of the Transcendence Stage was unleashed without reservation. The momentum from both sides surged to its peak within a hundred zhang, causing the air to ripple violently. The ground trembled with dust flying everywhere as some Buqi cultivators began to fly up on their devices to the mountainside of Liangxiaoshan, using their collective momentum to withstand the fierce impact generated by the clash of Transcendent Practitioners' auras.
Wherever their powerful energies collided, the originally lush green fields of Liangxiaoshan began to crack open. The fissures then surged toward Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, at a visibly rapid pace.
Fifty years of frost and hardship felt like a great cold river; he observed it all.
As the clash of auras unfolded in Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, he found himself at a disadvantage against the eastern wind and had no choice but to act first. A spell slipped from his lips as the Azure Wave Vinewood Sword flew out from behind him, crossing over the fissure. With one strike, he severed the surging energy that rushed toward him. Initially, the ground's cracks halted ten zhang in front of Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, no longer advancing further.
Rumors suggested that he had inherited Ke Zhen'e's legacy; it seemed there was truth to it.
Sima Wuduan showed no surprise at Tenglan's swordsmanship; it appeared he had been well-prepared for this encounter. As their battle began, crowds around Liangxiaoshan grew increasingly eager.
