730: Mastering the Illusory Image

"How bold! Who dares to intrude upon my Dragon Sealing Sect's Forbidden Ground!"

Just as Ji Wuchang was feeling relieved, a loud shout rang out. A Dharma Idol rose into the sky, and the pressure of the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm emanated from it.

The giant hand of the Dharma Idol lifted and struck a palm toward where Ji Wuchang was!

The palm print expanded rapidly in the wind, emitting a terrifying aura and containing a chilling killing intent.

Ji Wuchang was a bit dazed, but upon sensing this aura, he gave a cold snort. His blood energy surged as he clenched his right hand and threw a punch.

Atop his fist, silhouettes of mountain peaks appeared, accompanied by an explosion of icy chill.

This chill was what he had accumulated in the Void Realm for so long.

Although the Glazed Ice Fire had absorbed the vast majority of it, over time, some chill still remained in his body. Now, it surged out with his punch.

With a loud "boom," his punch collided directly with the opponent's palm, creating a violent roar.

A scream followed as the palm exploded. The figure was sent flying hundreds of feet, their Dharma Idol shattering to reveal an Elder who looked to be about sixty years old.

Terror filled the Elder's eyes. His whole body trembled as he rapidly began to freeze, frost instantly appearing on his face.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Elder's mouth. His spiritual power erupted, causing the frost on his face to shatter.

Just then, several more auras rose into the sky from the distance, all from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, flying toward this location.

Ji Wuchang had not yet fully adapted to this sudden change. Seeing several more powerful auras appear, his body flickered, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

Less than a breath after he left, four figures appeared beside the Elder. One of them carried the pressure of the seventh level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

"Fourth Elder, what just happened?"

The man at the seventh level of the celestial phenomenon realm spoke, his expression exceptionally serious.

This man was named Feng Yuanchuan, the Sect Master of the Dragon Sealing Sect and the person with the highest cultivation base in the Sect.

Originally, the Dragon Sealing Sect also had an Old Ancestor at the ninth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but he had failed in his attempt to reach the supreme realm and perished.

The person who had just fought Ji Wuchang was named He Tongtai, the Fourth Elder of the Dragon Sealing Sect, responsible for guarding the Dragon Sealing Sect's Forbidden Ground.

"Sect Master, someone just intruded into our Sect's Forbidden Ground. This person was about forty years old and only displayed a cultivation base at the sixth level of the dao severing realm."

"After I discovered him, I immediately attacked, intending to capture him."

"But this person's strength is extremely terrifying, and he practices an ice-attribute cultivation technique. A single punch shattered my full-strength palm strike!"

"He must have hidden his cultivation base, and his movement technique is incredibly strange."

"After sensing your auras, Sect Master, he left immediately and vanished without a trace!"

He Tongtai spoke slowly, his spiritual power surging as the chill within his body was continuously forced out.

Because of the excessive chill, the temperature around him plummeted, and snowflakes even began to appear.

Feng Yuanchuan and the others frowned upon hearing He Tongtai's words, falling into deep thought!

"Sect Master, could it be that the Snow Spear Sect sent someone?"

"To use an ice-attribute cultivation technique and force back the Fourth Elder in a single move... among the factions we know, I truly cannot think of any other besides the Snow Spear Sect!"

Beside Feng Yuanchuan, a man who looked to be in his thirties spoke, exuding the pressure of the sixth level of the celestial phenomenon realm!

This person was the Grand Elder of the Dragon Sealing Sect, Bai Yingjian.

"Sect Master, I also agree with the Grand Elder's view. It is very likely that the Snow Spear Sect sent someone to test the depths of our Dragon Sealing Sect!"

"Perhaps they have sensed something regarding the Grand Elder!"

Beside Bai Yingjian, a woman around forty years old spoke. She carried the pressure of the fifth level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

This person was named Jiang Jinluan, the Second Elder of the Dragon Sealing Sect, and also the only female Elder in the Dragon Sealing Sect.

As soon as Bai Yingjian and Jiang Jinluan spoke, the expressions of Feng Yuanchuan and the others changed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

The Dragon Sealing Sect and the Snow Spear Sect had always been enemies, almost like fire and water. However, with the Old Ancestor around before, they weren't afraid.

But now that the Old Ancestor was gone, the Dragon Sealing Sect was naturally no match for the Snow Spear Sect.

However, very few people in the Dragon Sealing Sect knew about the Old Ancestor's situation—only these few high-ranking members. Logically, it shouldn't have been leaked!

"Tonight's matter is indeed suspicious. No matter what, we must verify this!"

"Second Elder, I'll have to trouble you to investigate what the Snow Spear Sect has been up to lately."

"If the Snow Spear Sect is truly preparing to move against our Dragon Sealing Sect, we cannot just sit and wait for death!"

Feng Yuanchuan spoke slowly, his expression solemn.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinluan quickly nodded in agreement and then flew away.

"Fourth Elder, go back and heal your injuries first. We'll leave the guarding here to the Third Elder for now."

Feng Yuanchuan spoke again; he could see that He Tongtai had suffered minor injuries.

The Third Elder, Zhang Hubin, nodded immediately. He held a massive iron staff in his hand and looked like the power-oriented, burly type!

He Tongtai smiled and said, "Sect Master, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious!"

"These are troubled times. If someone comes again, the Third Elder and I can look out for each other!"

Hearing this, Feng Yuanchuan nodded slightly and agreed to the suggestion.

He and the Grand Elder, Bai Yingjian, did not stay and turned to leave.

At this moment, Ji Wuchang had not gone far; he was in the Void Realm just a thousand feet away. He had heard their conversation clearly.

He was naturally using the Void Phantom Technique. "Void Phantom, no shadow and no trace"—he hadn't understood it particularly well before.

Back then, he had used a Reincarnation Dream Experience Card to learn a deeper level of the Void Phantom Technique, but he had never been able to truly make it work until now!

This time, entering the Void Realm, he truly understood the meaning of the Void Phantom.

He watched Feng Yuanchuan and the others leave, then flickered and departed.

His primary task now was to determine where this place was; that was the top priority.

His body was like a wisp of green smoke as he sped away, quickly leaving the range of the Dragon Sealing Sect.

At the top of a mountain peak, Ji Wuchang appeared, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand.

"Crack!"

Cracks appeared on the porcelain bottle, and then surging flames erupted from within. A ball of fire the size of a fist appeared before Ji Wuchang.

This ball of fire was none other than the Fire Origin.

"It's time to fulfill your promise!"

Ji Wuchang looked at the ball of fire floating before him, a hint of heat inevitably appearing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, what I promised will naturally be honored!"

A voice emerged from the Fire Origin. Then, the ball of fire trembled violently and slowly split into two parts.

One part took up about sixty percent, while the other was about forty percent.
