335: Test, meet

Under Yun Yi’s gaze, a massive and majestic sect suddenly appeared above Yunxiao City, and the long-lost aura of Yunxiao was within it.

With a thought, he instantly arrived at the mountain gate of Chang Sheng Sect, gazing at this unfamiliar sect.

When he saw the words “Chang Sheng Sect” written on the stone tablet at the mountain gate, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his mind was currently focused on Yunxiao, so he paid little attention to other matters.

He was about to step into the sect, but was stopped by Shi Zhenxiang and Black Crow Daoist, both looking solemn.

However, the two seemed to have been given instructions, and Black Crow Daoist respectfully asked, “Is the visitor Immortal King Yun Yi?”

As he spoke, a hint of awe appeared in his eyes; this was an Immortal Dao powerhouse, a divine dragon whose head was seen but not its tail.

Seeing him today, he was indeed extraordinary, and the feeling he gave him was even difficult for his own Demon Monarch to compare to.

Only Lin Yan could surpass him, and by more than a little!

Oh?

Yun Yi clearly hadn't expected it, but he still nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Black Crow Daoist and Shi Zhenxiang no longer obstructed him, allowing him to pass.

Yun Yi’s expression was indifferent; he still didn’t know the origin of this sect or Yunxiao’s situation, and was about to step directly over the mountain gate.

But an extremely powerful formation blocked him, preventing him from successfully entering the sect.

Hmm?

He couldn't help but frown, examining the vast aura emanating from the sect-protecting formation before him. After a cold snort, he didn't give up, and the terrifying Immortal King pressure emanated from his body as he took another step.

To his shock, even though he activated the Immortal King power within him, he still couldn't break through the obstruction. From the looks of it, even if he went all out, he might not be able to break it.

Yun Yi’s heart was in turmoil; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he began cultivating, but for Yunxiao, he temporarily compromised, lowered himself, and chose to take the stairs at the mountain gate.

After he left, Black Crow Daoist and Shi Zhenxiang finally breathed a slight sigh of relief; that aura just now was too terrifying, and if it weren't for the protection of the formation, they would have long since collapsed to the ground.

Yun Yi slowly walked up the stairs and entered the sect, but strangely found that the sect before him was empty and lifeless, not at all like a powerful force.

He swept his divine sense and finally sensed many living auras emanating from a courtyard at the highest point of the divine mountain.

After testing, he found that the great formation no longer obstructed his path, so he flashed to the highest point of the sect, the peak of the mountain.

His expression somewhat solemn, he walked towards the distant courtyard, a hint of wariness rising in his heart.

In his opinion, the cultivation of the strong individual who could set up this formation must be above his own. If it weren't for Yunxiao, he would certainly not easily take such a risk.

Before he could even knock, the door creaked open by itself. After taking a deep breath, he resolutely stepped inside.

The first thing that caught his eye was a young man in black, who seemed to be the center of the Great Dao and the master of rules, so profound that even with his Immortal King Realm cultivation, he couldn't see through him.

Yun Yi’s heart trembled, knowing that this was the strongest person in this sect, the creator of the great formation.

Beside him was a little girl, about five or six years old, pure and ethereal, like a quietly blooming green lotus, equally unfathomable.

He painstakingly shifted his gaze and found that there were many other people in the courtyard, both human and demon races, all with strong cultivations.

Most importantly, he could sense from these people that their cultivation time was not too long, and they were all powerful individuals blessed with great fortune.

Especially when his gaze swept over Luo Qinglian and Su Ziyuan, who possessed special physiques, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Although these people’s cultivation was still at the Golden Immortal stage, each of them possessed incredibly powerful and mysterious physiques.

Their combat power was absolutely unrivaled at the same level, and they were even monstrous talents capable of fighting across realms, so calling them individuals of great fortune was not an exaggeration.

There was even a Quasi Immortal King present. Judging by his aura, he must have just entered this realm, but he was still a genuine half-step Immortal King.

Finally, he saw Yunxiao, whose face was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment. Seeing that the other party seemed to be in no life-threatening danger here, and had even perfectly integrated into this place, he finally put his worried heart at ease.

Immediately after, he felt something was off. Yunxiao’s cultivation?

How could he not know his own son’s level? Even with decent talent, it was impossible to cross so many realms in just a few hundred years.

Only now could he confirm that Yunxiao had not only avoided danger during his missing years but had also obtained many heaven-defying opportunities; otherwise, everything before him would be inexplicable.

“Dad, why are you spacing out? Don’t you realize how awesome your son is now?”

Yunxiao interrupted Yun Yi’s thoughts, saying playfully.

Clang.

The latter turned around and immediately gave him a knuckle rap on the head, scolding, “You little brat, where have you been all these years, making me worry for nothing.”

Yun Yi’s face was full of anger, then gradually softened as he added, “It’s a good thing you didn’t neglect your cultivation, otherwise you wouldn’t be coming back!”

“Hmph, your son here has a backer now! Didn’t I come back to help you when I heard you were in trouble!”

Yunxiao protested, clutching his head.

But his words made Yun Yi look at Lin Yan, who happened to be looking back, again. With a serious expression, he cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, fellow Daoist, for taking care of my unruly son. I am eternally grateful!”

“It’s nothing.”

Lin Yan shook his head with a smile, then continued, “Regarding the great formation just now, I hope you won’t take offense. I was merely curious and decided to test it out.”

“Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My son’s achievements today are entirely due to your guidance. I am too grateful to even think of blaming you.”

“Moreover, fellow Daoist’s strength far surpasses mine. On the contrary, I was presumptuous; I did indeed intend to force my way in just now!”

Yun Yi said very politely, completely unconcerned about it, and even highly praised Lin Yan’s strength.

Lin Yan nodded. He had just transmitted a message to Black Crow Daoist, guessing that the other party would directly break into the mountain gate, so he activated the great formation to test him.

Now, he could at least confirm that his cultivation realm had reached the so-called Immortal King Realm, but he didn’t know the specific level.

“Dad, did that damned Star Lord and Abyss Lord do anything to you?”

Yunxiao suddenly interjected, a hint of concern in his eyes.

Hearing this, Yun Yi felt a slight touch of emotion. This son wasn’t a complete waste; he had some filial piety.

He scoffed and said, “Although those two fellows are not easy to deal with, your dad here is no ordinary character; how could I be bullied by them.”

“Don’t worry, originally I was a bit troubled about how to deal with them, but now that you’ve brought helpers, what do I have to be afraid of!”

He then politely said to Lin Yan, “This time, I might have to trouble fellow Daoist to help me repel the enemy. Afterwards, I will certainly prepare a generous gift.”

“There’s no need for that. I am fated with Yunxiao, so I will naturally not stand by and do nothing; it’s merely a matter of convenience!”

Lin Yan said indifferently, his tone containing a powerful confidence.

Just as the two were talking, extremely terrifying auras descended upon this world, sweeping across the entire Yunxiao City.
