Chapter 1326: Please Senior Spirit Venerable Intervene

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lamp:

When the golden light points fell into his palm, Chen Mobai's expression was slightly dazed.

More than a hundred years ago, he could only watch from the Five Peaks Immortal Mountain as Qianxing sacrificed himself to seal the avatar of the God of Death. Now, he had become the Qianxing of old.

Furthermore, he was more powerful than Qianxing, possessing several innate Grand Dao paths, which gave him the means to resist even Void Refinement cultivators who wielded the power of the Grand Dao.

Although the old Merman's avatar was merely a clone, and restricted by the environment of the Tianhe Realm, unable to unleash its full power without restraint, it was nonetheless a fact that it now lay in his palm.

As he thought of this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but clench his hand.

With his movement, the golden light points in his palm began to distort.

The old Merman's avatar, sealed within, had exhausted ninety-nine percent of its power to unleash the Primordial Light of Immortality. Unlike the God of Death's avatar, which was a crystallization of the Grand Dao of Death that the Heaven-Earth Net Formation could not assimilate, this avatar was different.

Soon, the light points shattered and, as Chen Mobai loosened his grip and lightly shook his hand, they scattered into a shower of golden dust on the ground.

This action was like dusting off dirt.

It was incredibly effortless.

But in the eyes of the surrounding Soul Transformation cultivators, it stunned them all into standing still.

This was the avatar of a Void Refinement cultivator.

Against a Soul Transformation cultivator, even one at peak completion, it should have been a crushing defeat in a single move.

How had the situation reversed now?

Even having witnessed it firsthand, the Soul Transformation cultivators present still couldn't believe it.

This Azure Emperor of the Eastern Desolation was truly invincible under heaven.

After their shock, the Soul Transformation cultivators present turned their gaze to Azi and Yuanming, curious to see how the Jellyfish Palace would resolve this matter.

With the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Desolation guarding his sect, even a Void Refinement cultivator couldn't defeat him. Thus, in the Tianhe Realm, he was now beyond anyone's reach.

The Jellyfish Palace might have other Void Refinement cultivators, but they would likely meet the same fate as the old Merman, being forced to ascend the moment they appeared in the Tianhe Realm.

Or perhaps they would send out their entire force, bringing the Primordial Water-Controlling Banner, an innate spiritual treasure.

Thinking of this, everyone still worried for the Five Elements Sect.

After all, the Jellyfish Palace's actions had made the Soul Transformation cultivators present very disgusted.

Compared to the others, Immortal Haoran Yiqi and Immortal Taixu were even more worried.

Because they had already discerned that the formation Chen Mobai used against the old Merman had, in that last attack, drained a significant amount of spiritual energy from the spirit veins beneath this land.

Looking down, the once vibrant and spiritually rich Eastern Desolation Plateau now showed signs of decay, with the widespread green spiritual grasses subtly turning yellow.

This was certainly the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Desolation's final trump card.

If the Jellyfish Palace sent another Void Refinement cultivator, it was estimated that the Five Elements Sect would still face catastrophe.

At this moment, Chen Mobai looked up towards the sky.

In the Ninth Heaven, the old Merman's true form, enveloped by the light of ascension, effortlessly traversed four layers. Judging by the trend, he would likely enter the Spirit Void Immortal Realm intact.

Chen Mobai was very clear about his own strength. He knew that without the Heaven-Earth Net Formation, he would be no match for a Void Refinement cultivator, so he did not pursue.

However, while he had no way against Void Refinement cultivators, killing two Soul Transformation cultivators was still effortless.

Amidst the clang of metal.

Chen Mobai turned his head to look at Azi and Yuanming, who were not far away. With a thought of his divine sense, the Purple Lightning Calming Sea swords behind him began to hum, aiming at both of them.

“Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger!”

Seeing this, Immortal Haoran Yiqi and Immortal Taixu immediately tried to dissuade him. Although the Jellyfish Palace had been forced to ascend a Void Refinement cultivator, at least no lives had been lost so far.

After the Five Elements Sect displayed its strength and foundation, considering the enormous cost required to subdue it, the Jellyfish Palace might still compromise.

But if these two Soul Transformation cultivators of the Jellyfish Palace died, then the Jellyfish Palace would have no room for negotiation.

They would certainly bring out the Primordial Water-Controlling Banner and sink the land where the Five Elements Sect was located!

However, Chen Mobai paid no heed. With a flick of his sword-finger, the two swords, Calming Sea and Purple Lightning, shot out across the sky.

But at this moment, the cross-continental teleportation array on the suspended Dao platform lit up with silver light. Immortal Taixu's expression shifted, but he did not intervene. A figure flashed out from it, instantly appearing before Azi and Yuanming, waving wide sleeves to sweep away the two sixth-tier swords.

The newcomer was clad in a black, wide-sleeved long robe, with a tall and slender physique like a pine tree. A dark blue dragon-patterned jade belt hung from his waist. His eyes resembled frosty deep pools, and his face was pale, almost transparent. Standing there, he seemed like the very pivot of heaven and earth, yet a scan with divine sense revealed no aura whatsoever.

Seeing him, the hearts of all the Soul Transformation cultivators were filled with shock.

Such an aura indicated that he, at the very least, was like Chen Mobai, capable of stepping into the Void Refinement stage at any moment.

Furthermore, he could easily deflect the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Desolation's two swords, suggesting he was likely another Void Refinement cultivator.

The Jellyfish Palace's foundation was truly unfathomable.

“Greetings, Palace Master!”

At this moment, Azi and Yuanming, with expressions as if they had seen their savior, respectfully saluted the cultivator before them.

It turned out to be the contemporary sect master of the Jellyfish Palace.

After hearing this, Chen Mobai's expression became slightly grim.

Because after the newcomer appeared, the Heaven-Piercing Tablet was already issuing violent warnings.

The intensity was similar to that of the old Merman's avatar just now, indicating that even if this person was not a Void Refinement cultivator, they possessed means that could threaten his life and death.

For example, the rumored innate spiritual treasure, the Primordial Water-Controlling Banner!

“May I ask, are you Fellow Daoist Nangong Jin?”

At this moment, Immortal Haoran Yiqi spoke.

Although the Jellyfish Palace rarely appeared in public, the Human Race Holy Land was still very concerned about this most powerful force in the Tianhe Realm. At the very least, they knew the name of its contemporary sect master.

“Indeed.”

Nangong Jin nodded in response. He was not a Merman, and seemed to possess more etiquette.

“I am Kong Wenyan…”

Seeing that Nangong Jin did not immediately resort to fighting and seemed open to negotiation and communication, Immortal Haoran Yiqi also breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately introduced himself, hoping to mediate the situation.

But at this very moment, the cross-continental teleportation array on the suspended Dao platform glowed with silver light once more.

Immortal Taixu's mouth twitched, sensing the same situation as before.

This meant a cultivator with extraordinary mastery of the Way of Void was forcibly controlling the entire teleportation array from the other end, actively teleporting through.

And only a Void Refinement cultivator could achieve this.

Although Immortal Taixu could have stopped this by destroying the teleportation array, as he entertained the thought, Nangong Jin's gaze turned towards him, seemingly having sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding void energy according to his emotions.

Seeing the warning in Nangong Jin's eyes, Immortal Taixu could only halt his intentions.

In an instant, another Merman stepped out from the teleportation array, their face icy cold.

This was a female Merman, with an appearance somewhat similar to Azi's, but more mature. Her silver-blue long hair was as thick as seaweed, and the gauze she wore flowed like water, covering crucial areas. Below her slender waist were not legs, but a fish tail with fins, whose bluish-green thin scales refracted stardust-like fragmented light, carrying the heart-palpitating power of the Grand Dao of Water.

Another Void Refinement cultivator!

Compared to Nangong Jin, this female Merman did not conceal herself. After stepping out of the teleportation array, the surrounding void energy was already entirely under the control of her divine sense.

The Soul Transformation cultivators of the Vast Expanse Ethereal Palace all had slight changes in their expressions.

“Great-grandmother, you’ve come.”

Seeing the female Merman, Azi's face lit up with joy. She immediately went behind her and began to complain.

“Palace Master, since you are also here, what do you say we should do about this?”

After listening, the female Merman cast a cold glance at Chen Mobai, then turned to Nangong Jin and asked.

“The Jellyfish Palace must not be insulted.” Nangong Jin uttered this sentence. Chen Mobai took a deep breath, already prepared for the worst. But at this moment, Nangong Jin spoke again, “Although I am the Palace Master, according to our palace rules, I must also heed the instructions of the Grand Elder. If Elder Ayue has other ideas, she may also voice them.”

The female Merman's name was Ayue, and she was the wife of the old Merman who had ascended.

The old Merman's name was Hanming.

As both husband and wife were Void Refinement cultivators, it was natural that they held sway in the Jellyfish Palace on a daily basis.

“Then let’s proceed as the Palace Master wishes,”

Ayue, hearing that Nangong Jin's thoughts aligned with her own, nodded and cast a cold gaze at Chen Mobai, who was not far away.

“Senior, there might be some misunderstanding in this matter…”

Immortal Haoran Yiqi, gritting his teeth, tried to mediate. But Ayue gave him a cold glance that made the hairs on his entire body stand on end. He felt as if he had been submerged in water, his mouth and nose filling with endless streams of water, unable to breathe or speak.

At the crucial moment, a phantom image of a purple jade discipline ruler lit up between Immortal Haoran Yiqi's eyebrows. A surge of peaceful and virtuous energy flowed out, dispelling Ayue's restrictive spell.

“Thousand Autumn Primordial Yang Ruler!”

Ayue saw the phantom of the discipline ruler, and a hint of apprehension flashed across her face.

“This is the contemporary Saint Lord of the Thousand Autumn Pen and Ink Forest, and that is the sect master of the Vast Expanse Ethereal Palace.”

Nangong Jin had already greeted the two earlier and now introduced Immortal Haoran Yiqi and Immortal Taixu to Ayue.

“This person offended my Jellyfish Palace today, and his crime deserves death. I ask that you two not interfere. Otherwise, if this matter is brought before the Thousand Autumn Saint and the Vast Expanse True King in the Immortal Realm, both of you might also face punishment.”

After knowing their identities, Ayue gave them a little bit of face.

Although the Jellyfish Palace was undeniably the foremost power, since its founding ancestor had transcended and left, they still had to defer somewhat to the Thousand Autumn Saint and the Vast Expanse True King in the Immortal Realm.

“Alas, could you perhaps refrain from harming the Eastern Continent and its mortals?”

Immortal Haoran Yiqi knew that with three Void Refinement cultivators from the Jellyfish Palace appearing today, they were certainly looking to regain their prestige. He alone could not persuade them, so he could only helplessly make this request.

“Yes, but today we will only kill cultivators from the Five Elements Sect.”

Ayue nodded, uttering this sentence, which was considered giving face to the two great holy lands of the Central Continent.

As soon as these words fell, Immortal Haoran Yiqi's expression turned grim.

As the overlord of the Eastern Continent, the Five Elements Sect had no small number of cultivators, and if they were to be annihilated, it would certainly cause a bloody storm.

But clearly, this was already the Jellyfish Palace's bottom line.

“I told you, no one can resist the Jellyfish Palace.”

With her backing, Azi regained her initial demeanor, though this time she wasn't smiling. She looked at Chen Mobai with cold eyes and said.

“Husband, hand me over…”

At this moment, Qing Nu suddenly transmitted a message to Chen Mobai, wondering if she could use herself, along with the influence of the two great holy lands of the Central Continent, to ensure the survival of the Five Elements Sect.

“Shut up. Even if I die in battle today, I will not let the Jellyfish Palace take you.”

Chen Mobai, however, interrupted her with a sharp rebuke.

“Furthermore, it's not yet the end of the road.”

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai held the Primal Chaos Bell, with three sixth-tier swords suspended behind him, and stepped forward once more.

This step caused Azi, who had just mustered her courage, to turn pale with fright and quickly retreat behind Ayue and Nangong Jin.

“Seniors, if you wish to kill me, perhaps one of you will have to ascend.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, his second primordial spirit also activated the Heaven-Earth Net Formation to extract energy from the remaining spiritual veins, even preparing to use the Primal Chaos Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder as a last resort, destroying everything in a desperate struggle.

“Boy, you clearly don't understand the profound methods of my Jellyfish Palace. I can use a soul-splitting possession technique to descend into Azi's body. Through my Dao fruit, I can raise her strength to the Void Refinement realm and wield my own five sixth-tier artifacts to suppress and kill you. Even if she can't kill you, at worst I'll ascend, and my true body will make a move.”

Ayue said this with a cold face, clearly having made up her mind. Azi, behind her, even showed surprise and joy upon hearing this, as if such an opportunity was a great honor for her.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai suddenly recalled what Yuan Qingque had done when the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect faced disaster.

At that time, he had used the Heaven-Reaching Dao Refining Pagoda to descend from the Spirit Void Immortal Realm into Yuan Zhen's body. They were also blood relatives, and Yuan Zhen had also refined a Dao fruit.

So, it was learned from the Jellyfish Palace.

At this moment, all the Soul Transformation cultivators present looked at Chen Mobai with expressions of regret.

If things had followed their normal course, this individual would certainly have been able to ascend, perhaps even successfully merging with the Dao in the Immortal Realm, becoming an immortal ancestor, just like the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Grand Ancestor.

But unexpectedly, today he had provoked a behemoth like the Jellyfish Palace.

“Senior, I am Ye Qing, the sect master of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Sect. Could you perhaps, for the sake of our grand ancestor in the upper realm, spare the Five Elements Sect? After all, your palace’s cultivators are still alive.”

Ye Qing flew over, controlling the Taihe Sword, and lowered her proud head. She even brought up the name of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Grand Ancestor, hoping to save Chen Mobai.

“For the sake of the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Grand Ancestor, I shall pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Ayue said this coldly. When Ye Qing tried to speak again, she waved her gauze, imposing a restriction on her, just as she had done to Immortal Haoran Yiqi earlier.

Zhang Pankong saw this scene and also halted his steps, but he still transmitted a message to Immortal Taixu, wondering if the sect master could offer assistance.

“Alas, I have already done my best in this matter today.”

In response, Immortal Taixu helplessly shook his head.

Just when everyone thought Chen Mobai and the Five Elements Sect were about to be annihilated by the Jellyfish Palace, Chen Mobai played his final trump card.

After transmitting his message to Qing Nu, his expression turned solemn. He respectfully saluted the void above and said, “Today, our sect faces an unwelcome guest. I implore Senior Spirit Venerable to intervene!”
