Chapter 1374: Chen Mobai Returns

Pure Nine Lotus Lamp:

A Fifth-Order Bashe was dismembered just like that!

Even witnessing it firsthand, Yan Xinjie remained incredulous. Qian Xing actually possessed such power; truly worthy of someone who could suppress the Death God’s avatar. However, when Yan Xinjie looked back, he saw Qian Xing was also utterly bewildered, apparently unaware of what had just happened.

Another master? Which Incarnation cultivator from the Immortal Sect? Or perhaps... the hidden power of the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy? All possibilities flashed through Yan Xinjie’s mind in an instant. Just then, the golden threads that had dismembered the Fifth-Order Bashe began to spread endlessly throughout the dark void. Wherever they passed, they immediately triggered a violent reaction from the Evergreen Cultivation Technique’s tree roots, which surged out from the void like dragons and serpents, completely enveloping and submerging the golden threads. Seeing this, Yan Xinjie breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yuxuan, who had clearly not yet escaped from the sky moments ago, suddenly descended with a look of horror, struggling all the way until he landed step by step behind Yan Xinjie. Although he had brought it upon himself, he was still Qing Nan’s younger brother. So, Yan Xinjie planned to take him back to the Heavenly River Realm and bury him alongside Yang Jing’s body in the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

That implied someone with higher authority than him now controlled the Immortal Sect’s grand formation.

Then, without a word, he condensed golden demon-slaying divine lightning, which struck it and turned it into dust.

Following the defeat of the Bashe, the Kunpeng Dao Academy, once among the four major powers, had plummeted to the lowest rank within the past century. "Patriarch Long Hu brought the Seventh-Order Xuewei and branches imbued with the power of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique to attack the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy," someone explained. "A-Xing happened to be revisiting his post at the front gate and was almost taken away..."

A scene as if time was flowing backward appeared before their eyes.

Upon seeing Wenren Huashen, Qian Xing's expression immediately turned stern. He sternly ordered Yun Hai and Qing Ping, who were present: "Apprehend him."

"I also want to know which other person in the Jumang Dao Academy cultivates the Evergreen Cultivation Technique Bashe."

Just as Qian Xing prepared to risk everything, unleashing the power of the Grand Dao from the Four Dragon Cauldron to break free from the tree root restraints and transmit information to the Bashes on Seven Peaks Immortal Mountain, an incredibly familiar voice came from outside the void:

Whenever there was an opportunity, they would always bring up the threat posed by the Evergreen Cultivation Technique.

Even Wenren Huashen couldn't help but feel curious.

The Evergreen Cultivation Technique's branches, already rooted in this small void realm, erupted with an unprecedented demonic mystic light, appearing like a vast, dense, and terrifying sea of trees descending.

Wenren Huashen looked at the Heaven-Mending Seal on "Chen Xingxing's" forehead and recognized the former Twin Saints of the Immortal Sect, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why he was being targeted.

"Do you truly not know?"

"Alright, if that's the case, let's just do it together. Anyway, it's an internal affair of the Immortal Sect, and all seven lineages should indeed be aware."

True Monarch Yun Hai had not forgotten that unsealing the restrictions on True Monarch Taohua and allowing her Bashe to act was Yan Xinjie's suggestion.

Moreover, he had come today for an important matter.

However, considering Shen Yuxuan was somewhat connected to Qing Nan, Yan Xinjie merely used sacred virtue to dissolve the 181 divine seed avatars of Wei Jianfeng's master into nothingness.

Beiming continued, stating that if Da Chun weren't the foundation of the Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation, their Kunpeng lineage would have even considered uprooting Da Chun to use it as a resource to enhance the overall strength of the Immortal Sect.

However, Yan Xinjie's current cultivation realm was high, and he had also obtained the Grand Dao of Sacred Virtue. This debt wouldn't be settled face-to-face for now, but kept in mind.

Wei Jianfeng activated his Void Sky Track Vision, instantly seeing through the reason Shen Yuxuan was able to escape.

Aside from genuinely not being involved, it was also because she trusted Yan Xinjie.

Connecting this to the Evergreen Cultivation Technique's tree roots that were currently trapping him, Qian Xing immediately thought of the worst-case scenario, his heart filling with anxiety.

They watched as the massive tree roots, which had originally enveloped and suppressed the golden threads, were cut open irresistibly by the golden threads, like timber fed into a saw.

Wenren Huashen said with a resolute expression.

"You're overthinking it. Wei Jianfeng isn't here for you; he's truly here for that silly bird."

"Fellow Daoist, will you come out to meet me yourself, or shall I dismantle these illusionary tricks and come to the island to meet you?" "Although you don't possess that strength, the Spirit of Da Chun does."

Was it too late for him to come and pay respects to Yan Xinjie?

But no matter who it was, upon seeing the young man, they all respectfully saluted him with solemn expressions: "Greetings, True Monarch Chunyang! Congratulations on your return!"

"Fortunately, I borrowed this divine ability from Patriarch Chang Chun this time, otherwise, I would surely have suffered a bitter defeat in the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy today."

As for Chen Mobai's main consciousness, it had already died under the Yuan Yang sword light moments ago.

Under the astonished gazes of Qian Xing and Shen Yuxuan, the dark void realm was completely shattered by that single finger.

He was the first Bashe to arrive because when Yan Xinjie descended from beyond the heavens, he had no intention of concealing himself and immediately took control of the Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation, startling him instantly. The Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation flickered for a moment but was unable to obstruct him.

"The Immortal Sect isn't that formal, is it?"

It was Senior Beiming who spoke those words, adding insult to injury.

They had already known this when they arrived and saw Xuewei's corpse.

No matter how many tree roots surged from the void, before the golden threads, they were as fragile as Bashes, all splitting into two.

After hearing this, Yan Xinjie looked at Wenren Huashen with a hint of surprise.

Qian Xing sensed the Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation within the Immortal Sect and, without hesitation, immediately drew upon its power, hoping to protect himself and leave the area.

Within the Void Sky Track Vision, sound transmissions were like plotting right in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xing was greatly astonished. Although he had guessed that the mastermind was hidden within the Jumang Dao Academy, he simply couldn't imagine who within that lineage possessed such immense power.

Even a Seventh-Order Wei Jian, no matter its strength, only possessed power at the Bashe level. For Chen Mobai's master to truly control and utilize its full capabilities, his main consciousness would have had to descend and possess it.

"This is indeed not Wenren's Evergreen Cultivation Technique; someone else is behind this. You can wait here for them."

As he spoke, his left hand extended, his index finger crooked.

After teleporting over, Qian Xing looked at the island before him and quickly recalled its origin.

She saw Yan Xinjie, surrounded like stars around the moon. Her expression first registered surprise, then understanding.

Beiming instinctively targeted the Jumang lineage, but his words were cut short mid-sentence as True Monarch Yun Hai sealed his mouth from afar.

"The mastermind behind this is actually True Monarch Taohua! I advised True Monarch Yu Heng back then that releasing the restrictions on her would cause trouble. Look now, it truly has…" Immediately, the golden threads embedded themselves throughout the dark void, slicing open that part of the world.

"It wasn't me. I'm only at the early stage of Wei Jian cultivation. Even if the Evergreen Cultivation Technique is profoundly mysterious, it couldn't possibly trap Patriarch Xing."

However fallen they might be, targeting the Jumang lineage was ingrained in their very bones.

Not to mention Wei Jianfeng escaping before him; within the entire Tianyang Star System where the Diyuan Star was located, no one could escape his Void Sky Track Vision.

After Yan Xinjie finished speaking, he stepped into the void, on the verge of disappearing. Qian Xing hurriedly spoke: "Can you take me with you? I want to know who is trying to harm me."

It was Yu Tianguang who spoke. He had already emerged from the Four Dragon Cauldron, carrying a birdcage. Seeing Wenren Huashen's denial, he immediately recounted everything that had just happened in detail.

He just happened to have made a promise to the Spirit of Da Chun earlier, and he could use this opportunity to resolve it at the same time.

There really was a mastermind behind the scenes in the Jumang Dao Academy!

But before Yan Xinjie could rejoice, he suddenly noticed the golden threads reappearing before his eyes.

Streaks of silver light lit up, transforming into renowned cultivators of the Immortal Sect: some Nascent Soul cultivators, some Bashes.

After all, times had changed. What Yan Xinjie said now held sway in the Immortal Sect.

Even True Monarch Yun Hai's authority over the Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation was, at most, on par with his.

"Chunyang, you've been a great help this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble."

Yan Xinjie waved his hand. The reason he killed Shen Yuxuan was because, under his Void Sky Track Vision, the source of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique's branches' power clearly appeared. He then flicked his finger, batting Shen Yuxuan's Nascent Soul out of his body. After annihilating Shen Yuxuan's Nascent Soul, Yan Xinjie spat and cursed, "That dog! How dare you mention Qing Nan!" Shen Yuxuan found his body already beyond his control. Recalling Yan Xinjie's ruthless methods, he quickly began to beg for mercy: "True Monarch Chunyang, hold your hand! I am your father-in-law. Without me, there would be no Qing Nan." Yan Xinjie's expression instantly darkened upon hearing Shen Yuxuan claim to be Qing Nan's father. "That dog! How dare you mention Qing Nan!"

True Monarch Yun Hai transmitted a message to Senior Beiming, but after doing so, he noticed Yan Xinjie glancing over. "Chunyang is not broad-minded; you should say less," True Monarch Yun Hai warned.

However, many only learned about the Evergreen Cultivation Technique's branches after hearing Yu Tianguang speak. As Yan Xinjie spoke, he waved his sleeve, having already activated the Grand Dao of Void, teleporting all the Immortal Sect cultivators present to the Jumang Dao Academy.

The question was whether to also bring the silly bird to Qing Nan.

"Patriarch Qian Xing, what is the meaning of this?"

Wenren Huashen began to explain, facing the crowd's doubtful gazes with an unperturbed expression.

Upon hearing "Seventh-Order Wei Jian," all the Immortal Sect cultivators present looked with alarm at the white snake's corpse, which lay severed in two nearby.

"This place is where Taohua's true form resides!"

Although True Monarch Yun Hai didn't understand what was happening, he realized that Yan Xinjie had overheard what he said behind his back, causing sweat to break out on his forehead.

As a demonic silver glow lit up, Shen Yuxuan instantly vanished from his original spot.

After Yan Xinjie said that, he remembered that he hadn't yet told Qian Xing about unsealing the Death God's avatar, so he didn't object.

"Do you already know who it is?"

Just then, a silver light flashed in the air, and a graceful and beautiful young woman in a green dress stepped out.

And Yan Xinjie's comprehension of the Grand Dao of Void, gained from studying the Taixu Heavenly Tome, surpassed even Yuan Qingque's.

One must understand, this was authority he had reserved for himself in his previous life, not Chen Xingxing's.

Among the Eight Great Halls, with Zhongli Tianyu stepping down, the Kunpeng lineage also had no successor. As long as he willed it, he could instantly slay all true bodies and avatars of Wei Jianfeng and Chen Mobai's master.

Under the sacred virtue sword light, his Soul Devouring Art was like snow exposed to sunlight. Before Wei Jian could even be dismembered, he had already been melted by sacred virtue and completely perished.

However, no matter how terrifying the tree roots and branches were, as the finger descended, they all wailed and turned into ash.

The moment Shen Yuxuan saw Yan Xinjie, the shadow of being previously beheaded surfaced in his mind. Lacking any courage to resist, he immediately took out the talisman bestowed by Patriarch Chang Chun.

After all, although nominally Narcissus belonged to their lineage, the latter was notoriously lazy, and hadn't even come to see Yan Xinjie yet, which was telling.

The Divine Tree Da Chun?

A handsome and distinguished young man stood in the air. Behind him, Dean Deng Daoyun of the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy and other Nascent Soul cultivators stood respectfully.

In Yan Xinjie's current vision, all members of the Ascension Sect beyond Diyuan Star were under his watchful eye.

"Eh, what kind of talisman is that, able to ignore the sealing power of the grand formation?" True Monarch Yun Hai said, somewhat surprised at this scene.

They returned to Mount Chicheng.

"We can catch up later. I'm going to meet the mastermind first."

"That's somewhat interesting, a rudimentary application of the Grand Dao of Void. Unfortunately, using such a thing in front of me is like displaying a minor skill before an expert." If their usual Void Grand Teleportation was like dropping a stone into the river of void, then what happened now was equivalent to overturning the entire river.

But to Qian Xing's horror, the Heaven Curtain Earth Net Grand Formation completely ignored him.

Ultimately, it was Qian Xing who spoke, breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere.

Yun Hai and Qing Ping hesitated, not making a move, and instead looked at Yan Xinjie.

"I haven't been gone that long. How dare any cat or dog come to the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy and act so presumptuously?"

In an instant, everyone present sensed the void power between heaven and earth shaking.

Shen Yuxuan found his body already beyond his control. Recalling Yan Xinjie's ruthless methods, he quickly began to beg for mercy.

Of course, before leaving, Yan Xinjie did not forget to collect Kong Feichen's body.

"I have some suspicions, but I want to witness it firsthand."

If Wei Jianfeng hadn't acted in time, with Xuewei's innate divine ability, it was highly possible she could have wreaked havoc upon the Dancing Weapon Dao Academy, even potentially causing a massive bloody calamity.

After Kong Feichen's physical body was possessed by Shen Yuxuan, all of his spiritual consciousness had already been completely devoured by the Soul Devouring Art.
