180: Chapter 180 The Inheritance of a Giant-Level Immortal King: Turbulence Begins

The destruction caused by the Reincarnation Sword to the stone tablet was simply too great.

Although each of the Immortal Venerables was a favored child of their era, peerless prodigies who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood with terrifying talent and amazing Comprehension Ability...

...it was still too difficult for them to try and comprehend a Peak Immortal King Cultivation Technique based only on half-blurred runes and incomplete images.

Not to mention, the owner of the scripture was secretly causing trouble, distorting and fading the key parts on the stone tablet, making things even worse for the Immortal Venerable Cultivators who were already struggling to comprehend it.

Because of this, more and more Peak Immortal Venerable Cultivators indignantly withdrew from their comprehension, staring like hungry wolves at Xu Jinhuan and Yun Jinghong, who were currently in a state of cultivation.

The former went without saying; as a Top-tier Immortal King and ostensibly the strongest expert in the Secret Realm, no one dared to challenge his edge.

Only the latter, a mere newly-advanced Peak Immortal Venerable, actually dared to show off so openly.

He was simply courting death!

Feeling the increasingly heavy pressure on her, Yun Mengli's expression grew more solemn. She bit her red lips, and her forehead was even drenched in sweat.

Even though she possessed the Grand Yin Immortal Body and was the strongest Prodigy in the history of the Yun Family, she remained powerless in the face of their current predicament.

“Could it be that the last Bloodline of our Yun Family is truly going to be severed here?”

In her despair, she looked toward Xu Jinhuan, who was cultivating with his eyes closed in the distance, her gaze complex yet determined.

No matter what, Yun Jinghong could not die, and the Yun Family could not perish!

This man, the only Top-tier Immortal King present, was surrounded by calm, making him the only safe zone on the field. Compared to the tense atmosphere of everyone else, the bearded, round-faced man seemed like a visiting banished immortal—relaxed, free, and untainted by the world.

He carried an innate air of noble pride that made others feel inferior just by looking at him.

Finally, just before the enemies were about to erupt, she mustered her courage and sent another voice transmission, attempting to seek Xu Jinhuan's help.

“Senior, I am willing to offer the Origin of my Grand Yin Immortal Body and become Senior's Cauldron. In fact, everything I have will belong to Senior. No matter how Senior wishes to toy with me, Mengli will be absolutely submissive. I only beg Senior to take action and save my brother's life!”

Hearing this anxious plea for help, Xu Jinhuan continued to rest with his eyes closed, but he still gave her a response.

“Do you think the Origin of your Grand Yin Immortal Body is so remarkable? That I must covet your Physique's Origin and fulfill your request?”

Xu Jinhuan's voice sounded indifferently, instantly turning the praying beauty's face pale. The color drained from her face as she hurriedly explained and pleaded for mercy.

“No, it's not like that, Senior. I... I just felt that this was my greatest bargaining chip...”

Although in her heart, she did think highly of herself because of the Grand Yin Immortal Body, just as Xu Jinhuan said, believing it was enough to coerce him into acting.

But even if she was exposed, she couldn't admit it; admitting it would mean she had absolutely no chance!

“Senior, I also know of an Immortal King Legacy. Although it is only at the Giant-level, it is an undeveloped Treasure Trove Secret Realm containing the entire fortune of a Giant-level Immortal King. This is truly my final trump card!”

She gritted her teeth and revealed her last card. This was the Foundation for revival she had reserved for her brother and the Yun Family. She had originally intended to leave it for Yun Jinghong, but now she had no choice but to use it as a bargaining chip to invite a Top-tier Immortal King.

When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.

If the people are gone, no matter how many resource vaults there are, they are all for naught!

Then, Yun Mengli received a response that left her completely bewildered:

“Mhm, I accept both you and the Giant-level Legacy. At the critical moment, I will save your life.”

“Then what about my brother?” Yun Mengli was in a daze and hurriedly sent a transmission, “What about my brother? He is the last successor of the Yun Family; nothing can happen to him!”

“Hehe, you will find out when the time comes.”

The transmission connection was cut off. No matter how Yun Mengli inquired through transmissions, Xu Jinhuan shut her out completely and offered no explanation.

Unable to get an answer, she looked around in a daze. Looking at her brother's very familiar face, she felt a sense of strangeness for the first time.

It was as if this brother she had watched grow up had long since become a stranger.

On the other side, Xu Jinhuan was deaf to the outside situation, focusing solely on cultivation. The Realm within his body was already approaching the Bottleneck of the Great Emperor Realm. He only needed to take one more step forward to break through the Bottleneck, prove his Dao to the starry sky, and step into the Great Emperor Realm.

After proving his Dao as a Great Emperor, his combat power would also improve further, reaching the level of a Giant-level Immortal King.

Furthermore, because the progress of his Physique's Awakening would increase simultaneously, he might even reach the Domain of a Peak Immortal King!

But this step was not so easy to take; Xu Jinhuan had tried several times without success.

His talent was too high, and the difficulty of breaking through the Emperor Realm was exaggeratedly high. Even with Top-tier Immortal King combat power, he simply couldn't break through; acting rashly would mean certain death.

“The most stable way now is to wait for the System to issue rewards and use them to break through the Bottleneck and ascend to Great Emperor. However, Yun Mengli's ambition is a bit too large. Once she moves into Eastern Emperor Mountain, Qingyao, Chang Xi, and the others likely won't be able to keep her in check and might be bullied.”

This was also the main reason Xu Jinhuan had been refusing this woman; her background was too good, her Realm was too high, and her shrewdness was unfathomable.

Except for his extremely mysterious Revered Master, the other women around him were no match for her. Bringing her in directly could easily lead to trouble.

Since ancient times, competition in deep palaces and large courtyards has always been fierce, often resulting in loss of life. Xu Jinhuan did not want to see such things happen.

It would be best to wait until all the sharpness in Yun Mengli was eliminated before taking action to make her fully submit.

And the moment her brother, whom she had devoted so much effort to nurturing, backstabbed her would be the perfect opportunity.

Xu Jinhuan was waiting for that moment of heartbreak.

Yun Jinghong was also waiting, waiting for the optimal moment to strike.

He was still very wary of this sister with the Grand Yin Immortal Body.

Her combat power was terrifyingly brutal, and her control over the Taiyin Dao was extremely strong, almost comparable to an ordinary Immortal King. His Revered Master had personally praised her, saying that in time, she would surely step into the Immortal King Realm, and even being a Top-tier Immortal King would not be her end.

Coupled with various dark memories from childhood where his elder sister acted like a mother, his fear of Yun Mengli deepened even further.

“Revered Master, when do we strike?”

“Disciple, do not be in a hurry. Wait for those sacrifices to consume most of your sister's strength first. At the final moment, you will deliver the decisive blow. Your sister seems to possess great Luck; we cannot act recklessly!”

“Mhm.”

Yun Jinghong nodded slightly and began to circulate the 'Ancient and Modern Nine Deaths Great Law of Burying Heaven and Destroying Earth' that he had practiced for a long time. A hint of the aura of Reincarnation emerged from his body.

Like a drop of thick ink falling into a clear spring, or a pebble falling onto a calm lake surface.

It instantly stirred up countless waves!

The Peak Immortal Venerables watching like tigers around them went mad!

“This kid really did comprehend something!”

“After searching his soul, I might be able to take his place!”

“Little girl of the Yun Family with the Grand Yin Immortal Body, if you know what's good for you, stay out of the way. Otherwise, we'll kill you along with him!”
