Chapter 148 The Ninth Realm, Shaking Mountains

Boom!

The beautiful spear flower appeared for a fleeting moment, then exploded with a bang.

The terrifying True Essence turbulence destroyed everything.

The terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, carrying a frightening power that instantly reduced the hundreds-of-acres Fang Family Fortress to ruins.

The majestic fortress that once stood in Wutong Prefecture was leveled in a single strike.

【Killed First Uprising Gang Great Grandmaster, extremely satisfying, Experience +30,000】

【Killed Fang Family Fortress Fifth Realm Martial Artist, extremely satisfying, Experience +3,000, Eight Methods in the Well +1】

【Killed Fang Family Fortress Third Realm...】

【...】

True Essence turbulence surged everywhere; who knows how many Fang Family Fortress Disciples were caught in it, one by one turning into experience points.

In the vast fortress, not a single person survived in an instant.

The power of a Great Grandmaster is truly terrifying!

The mere aftershocks of the battle were far beyond what anyone else could withstand.

The Fang Family Fortress was founded by Iron Mountain Fang; one could imagine what kind of people his descendants and Disciples were.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be tilted.

Iron Mountain Fang was no good, and his descendants were also bullies who would exterminate entire families at the drop of a hat.

Yan Chu had already investigated all of this before coming.

Actually, he never intended to leave anyone alive in the Fang Family Fortress.

Now it saved him a lot of trouble, as there was no need to do it personally.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to his time as an Enshrined Elder in the Four Seas Pavilion, going everywhere on missions to act heroically.

As the dust and smoke dissipated, Yan Chu's figure was revealed.

At this moment, there was not a single person left alive in the entire Fang Family Fortress besides him.

However, his brow furrowed slightly as he held a token in his hand; its material was neither metal nor jade, and it was pure white.

“What is this thing?”

Yan Chu was somewhat puzzled.

Just now, even a Great Grandmaster like Willow Tiger had been blown to bits by his Stunning Shot, yet this token had fallen from him completely undamaged.

His Divine Sense reached out, feeling that the token's surface was blocked by a layer of mysterious power.

If he forced a Breakthrough, he could likely break through it.

But Yan Chu had a premonition that doing so would likely destroy the token.

“It should be some kind of treasure!”

Yan Chu had no clue for now, so he put it into his inventory slot.

He could ask Zhu Qingluan the next time he saw her.

After all, as a member of the Wind Listening Pavilion, her knowledge should be very broad; perhaps she could recognize it.

Next, Yan Chu's vast Divine Sense spread out, sweeping through the ruins and easily finding the Fang Family Fortress's treasury.

Inside were all sorts of gold, silver, jewelry, and precious jade items, as well as the two Cultivation Techniques practiced by Iron Mountain Fang: the Profound Yuan Technique and the Mad Demon Staff Technique, both originally from the Shen Family.

This Profound Yuan Technique was balanced and peaceful, and the True Qi it produced was rich and long-lasting; it should follow the path of the Daoist lineage.

The Mad Demon Staff Technique, on the other hand, was somewhat sinister.

If the practitioner's willpower was not firm, their mind could easily be overwhelmed by a sense of madness, leading to either insanity or demonic possession.

Therefore, practicing the Profound Yuan Technique at the same time could suppress this mad demonic intent, achieving a complementary effect.

Yan Chu collected all the Secret Manuals, gold, and silver.

He certainly wouldn't practice them himself.

But now he was no longer alone; taking these things back could enrich the World Society's treasury to reward those who contributed.

Having done all this, Yan Chu leisurely departed.

It wasn't until long after he left that people from the Jianghu began to approach from a distance.

The terrifying battle fluctuations from earlier had already alerted people in the surrounding villages and towns, and they only dared to come over after confirming there was no longer any movement.

They first explored cautiously, and upon confirming that there was not a single survivor, they finally dared to go in to scavenge.

Subsequently, the news spread like the wind.

“The Fang Family Fortress has been destroyed!!”

“Everyone in the fortress is dead!!”

As the only power in Wutong Prefecture with a Grandmaster presiding, the Fang Family Fortress was an invincible existence in the hearts of all Jianghu people.

But on this day, it was exterminated without any warning.

For a time, Wutong Prefecture was in turmoil as all the Jianghu people rushed toward the Fang Family Fortress. Having acted tyrannically for so many years, the fortress had amassed unknown wealth, and everyone wanted a piece of it.

And those Fang Family Fortress Disciples scattered outside didn't even have time to recover from the shock of this bad news before their expressions changed.

Many people nearby who had also heard the news of the Fang Family Fortress's destruction suddenly cast malicious glances at them.

Those who once relied on the Fang Family Fortress to wantonly bully others now had to face the pursuit of other Jianghu travelers...

...

Jiguan Peak, a small mountain Peak in Wutong Prefecture, was named for its resemblance to a cockscomb.

Dressed in white robes, Yan Chu lightly landed on the summit of Jiguan Peak.

【host: Yan Chu】

【Cultivation: Eighth Realm, Celestial Phenomenon Peak】

【Cultivation Technique: Three Points Returning to Origin Qi (Eighth Level 457525/500000)】

【Martial Skills: Stunning Shot (Perfection), Six Arts of Arrogant Cold (subtle realm 4800/50000), Little Li's Flying Dagger (subtle realm 780/45000), Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens (Minor Achievement 2239/7000), Eight Methods in the Well (Major Achievement 11360/18000)】

【Experience Points: 286,900】

Looking at the experience points on the panel, Yan Chu was high-spirited.

Although upgrading Stunning Shot to Perfection had consumed quite a bit, the remaining experience was still substantial.

Moreover, a new saber technique had dropped this time: the Eight Methods in the Well, created by Kou Zhong from 'Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty'.

This saber technique fused the Longevity Formula and Li Jing's Ten Styles of Bloody Battle, and was created after guidance from the Heavenly Saber Song Que; its power was not to be underestimated.

Obtaining this saber technique would increase the depth of his saber Dao by another thirty percent.

He had a feeling.

His saber Dao Realm, which had originally reached the Wooden Saber Realm, was already faintly touching the threshold of the No Saber Realm.

Now...

Yan Chu took a deep breath and thought to himself:

“Add all experience to Three Points Returning to Origin Qi!”

With a thought, the panel blurred slightly. Immediately after, with a boom, an incredibly terrifying Aura erupted from Yan Chu.

At this moment, the Primordial Spirit automatically stepped out of the Niwan Palace. His invisible Divine Sense resonated with the world, and drawn by the Primordial Spirit, endless Heaven and Earth Origin Qi swarmed in from all directions.

The Qi Sea within his body was now vast and boundless, as if it were truly an ocean.

The Aura on Yan Chu's body climbed steadily, and the Celestial Phenomenon that had appeared when he first stepped into the Great Grandmaster Realm descended once again.

However, the changes in the Celestial Phenomenon this time were ten times more terrifying than before.

Rumble!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder brewed within the thick clouds.

This was no longer something Yan Chu could control independently; it was a Celestial Phenomenon generated automatically due to his Breakthrough in cultivation.

Large flakes of snow fell from the sky, covering the entire Jiguan Peak in a short moment.

Fortunately, this place was remote and deserted.

Otherwise, such extreme cold would surely freeze a person to death.

Nevertheless, animals of all sizes living on Jiguan Peak were quickly frozen into ice sculptures under this low temperature.

At the same time, fierce winds howled.

Jiguan Peak, already frozen hard, began to crack with large fissures under this all-pervading wind. The hard mountain rock became loose and blew away as flying ash.

Mountain Shaking Realm! Mountain Shaking Realm!

At this Realm, one could truly shake a mountain with the strength of a single person.

If two existences of the Mountain Shaking Realm were to fight, even a mountain range covering more than ten miles would be completely destroyed.
