454: Chapter 454 Tianyao Mountain

As his words fell!

The Fifth Elder's Spiritual Qi suddenly surged violently like waves, forming visible air currents that rolled towards Fairy Qiyue and the others.

Clearly, he intended to use this immense pressure to crush these "ants" before him into blood mist, and incidentally give the Dao Seeking Sect a warning to show them the power of the Wansheng Dao Court.

But just as the destructive pressure was less than three feet from Fairy Qiyue and the others, an unexpected change occurred!

Around the mountain gate of the Dao Seeking Sect, nine mysterious beams of light rose simultaneously! Green, white, and purple Spiritual Qi intertwined, instantly weaving into a giant net of light that covered the heavens and earth. It not only protected the entire Panpeach Courtyard but also spread along the mountain range, directly shrouding the entire sky above the Dao Seeking Sect.

The next moment, the nine beams of light suddenly contracted and condensed.

Like a sky-tearing Sword Qi, carrying the power to destroy the world, it blasted out.

"Pfft—"

Blood mixed with bone fragments sprayed out instantly. This famous Fifth Elder of the Wansheng Dao Court did not even let out a scream before his body exploded under the peerless pressure of the great array, turning into a scattered mist of blood, completely vanishing between heaven and earth.

The remaining five Mahayana Stage Cultivators stood frozen in mid-air as if hit by an immobilization spell, their eyes wide, staring at this inconceivable scene, their minds shaken.

The Fifth Elder had gathered them together to destroy the Sect. With six Mahayana experts joining forces, they had anticipated the opponent might be tricky, but they never expected such a crushing dead end.

This wasn't just tricky; it was clearly an old man swallowing arsenic — seeking death.

But when did such a formidable Sect appear in the Flame Continent?

"Hiss—!"

Qin Tianxing and Wang Er, standing to the side, were also stunned by this scene, gasping in shock, unable to recover for a long while.

There was no extra time for those five to think or fear. The light of the Nine-Turn Xuanyuan Array surged again, and the nine beams of light split into five, shooting violently towards the remaining five.

In an instant, this inexplicable provocation ended in total annihilation, with only six storage rings falling slowly towards the ground under the pull of gravity.

In mid-air, Qin Tianxing watched with glee, itching to clap and cheer.

"Daring to come to Senior Chen's Dao Seeking Sect to cause trouble, they really didn't know how to write the word 'death', they were purely seeking their own destruction!"

Before his words were even out, Wang Er had already shouted it out first.

Shu Shichan's eyes were locked on the six falling storage rings, her eyes sparkling. Just as she was about to make a move, Fairy Qiyue already lightly raised her hand, and a gentle Spiritual Qi swept out, gathering all six storage rings into her hand.

She probed them with her Divine Sense and scanned them quickly. Her delicate brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and she whispered softly:

"It's actually people from the Wansheng Dao Court? How could this be..."

Shu Shichan immediately stepped forward, tugging at Fairy Qiyue's sleeve and shaking it gently. Her devastatingly beautiful oval face tilted up, full of expectation: "Elder Qi Yue, those who see it get a share! You can't swallow all the treasures in these storage rings alone! I was just thinking of catching them for medicine testing. Now that I didn't catch anyone, you should at least give me a share of the treasures, right?"

Qi Yue looked at her helplessly, sighing inwardly, what a pity for such a beautiful face: "These all need to be taken back to the Sect to be inventoried and turned over to the Sect treasury."

"If you want them, wait until the Sect Master returns to the Sect to decide."

Shu Shichan wrinkled her peach-blossom eyes and softly retorted:

"Sister Qiyue~"

She even changed her form of address instantly.

"You also know that in the entire Dao Seeking Sect, the Revered Master loves me, this Junior Sister, the most. Even if the Revered Master returns, he will definitely remember my contribution in Alchemy and reward me, why go to all this trouble."

Qi Yue raised her hand to rub her forehead gently, then waved her hand, taking out two high-quality Magic Treasures and handing them to Qin Tianxing and the other.

"The two of you came to help this time. A small gift, no disrespect intended, please accept it."

Although Qin Tianxing and the other watched the whole time without intervening, the account couldn't be calculated that way. Since the other party chose to stand on the Dao Seeking Sect's side at such a critical juncture, their stance was already clear.

Hearts are never warmed in a day; someone naturally has to handle the nuances of these social exchanges.

"Many thanks, Elder Qi Yue!"

Qin Tianxing and the other bowed.

Qi Yue then looked at Li Pingan on the side, slightly startled: "Eh? Where is Ye Hao? He was clearly here just a moment ago."

"Junior Brother Ye saw there was nothing happening, so he returned to cultivate." Li Pingan explained softly from the side.

Qi Yue nodded gently, then flashed, returning to the Panpeach forest, her mind in turmoil.

Could it be that the bet the Sect Master won at the Wansheng Dao Court previously caused the other party's displeasure, which is why they sent people to interfere in the Secret Realm matter today and came to find trouble?

...

Inside the Secret Realm!

Chen Xuan took out the jade pendant that was white and translucent, and his fingertips slightly activated the spiritual power.

In an instant, a thick and peerless aura drifted out from the jade pendant, slowly condensing into a female figure in the air—her figure was slender and plain, her dress elegant, yet it was hard to hide the extraordinary beauty between her brows. It was exactly one of the Ten Great Heavenly Venerables, Heavenly Venerable Mogong.

Chen Xuan's gaze inadvertently swept over her plain-looking figure, and he thought to himself: I really didn't expect that a dignified Heavenly Venerable would have such a barren figure.

It is truly sigh-worthy.

"Where is this?"

As soon as Heavenly Venerable Mogong appeared, she raised her eyes to look around. Seeing that the figures of her three Disciples were not there, her brows were immediately stained with a bit of confusion.

Chen Xuan was concise and told her one by one about Dongfang Li's previous instructions.

Only then did Heavenly Venerable Mogong realize, turning to Chen Xuan and nodding in thanks: "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for your help. If Fellow Daoist comes to my Tiangong Pavilion in the future, there will definitely be a generous gift in return."

As her words fell, her figure drifted away, heading straight towards the "heavenly evolution of the ages scripture" not far away. Her eyes were tightly locked on that ancient scripture, her voice light and firm: "I want to know, how exactly did Divine Puppet Heavenly Venerable die five hundred years ago? What kind of hidden story is hidden in that tempering cultivation trip to the Heavenly Demon Mountain."

Divine Puppet Heavenly Venerable?

Chen Xuan felt a stir in his heart when he heard this name. After a little thought, he recalled the relevant rumors.

It was indeed the top expert who broke into the Heavenly Demon Mountain with Great Love Immortal Venerable five hundred years ago. So Heavenly Venerable Mogong was looking for the guixu immortal ferry boat to explore this old matter.

It seems her relationship with Divine Puppet Heavenly Venerable is somewhat extraordinary.

But I remember the information Qi Yue inquired about before was not like this. These two should be at odds with each other, and they often arranged to fight at the Outer Heavens.

The "heavenly evolution of the ages scripture" on the stone platform suddenly erupted with brilliant light again. Countless fine Spiritual Qi intertwined and surged from the yellowed pages, like golden ribbons, circling and dancing in the secret room, shining brightly.

In an instant!

The surrounding scene began to change slowly, exactly the same as when Xu Muchen asked, like a dust-laden picture slowly unfolding.

I saw a huge abyss shaped like an ancient well lying between heaven and earth. The abyss was steep and bottomless, making people feel tight in their hearts just by looking at it, shivering.

"This, where is this?"

Shen Mutao's pretty face turned slightly pale, and she quietly moved closer to Chen Xuan, looking a bit afraid of heights, subconsciously reaching out to grab Chen Xuan's big hand.

Xu Muchen's expression was heavy, and he slowly scanned the solitary peak in the picture. This peak pierced directly into the clouds, towering and straight, like a peerless sharp sword piercing the sky, sharp-edged. This highly iconic scene made him instantly recognize the place.

He spoke slowly: "The hinterland of the Demon Race Continent, Heavenly Demon Mountain!"
