18: Absolute crushing!

Wen Yuheng watched the struggle below, not finding it surprising.

Jiang Muchen was a young master from an influential family, so it was normal for him to have a temper.

He could naturally tell that Su Yang's strength wasn't due to Magical Artifacts or Demonic Techniques, but as for whether Su Yang's Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase strength, achieved in seven days, truly possessed the level it should, Wen Yuheng reserved judgment.

Since Jiang Muchen wanted to test his strength, he went along with it and agreed; the journey to Burial Immortal Valley was long, so this bit of time wouldn't make a difference.

"Su Yang, the original team leader was Jiang Muchen. Since he is unconvinced by you, it is indeed necessary for you to prove your strength."

"Neither party is allowed to use Magical Artifacts; stop when a point is made."

Wen Yuheng affirmed the rationality of Jiang Muchen's challenge with a single sentence.

Jiang Muchen immediately sneered at Su Yang, saying, "Su Yang, I don't know what trick you used to make your strength appear to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase, but I know it's absolutely impossible for anyone in this world to raise his Cultivation from the Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase to the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase in just seven days. Fake is fake; no matter how real it looks, fake can never be real. Let me use my true strength to pierce through your false lies."

"Last time, I underestimated your baseness, which allowed you to succeed in a sneak attack. This time, I will absolutely not give you any Opportunity!"

As he spoke, Jiang Muchen mobilized all his True Qi, and his entire body, like an arrow released from a bow, swiftly attacked Su Yang.

The distance between the two was not far. Jiang Muchen arrived in front of Su Yang in an instant, a victorious sneer on his face, and raised his hand to attack Su Yang's face.

Su Yang merely let out an indifferent sneer.

When it was time to display his strength, there was naturally no need to conceal it!

He didn't dodge; he simply narrowed his eyes.

A vast and profound True Qi transformed into a powerful pressure that poured out. Jiang Muchen, who had just stepped into the range of the pressure, felt an irresistible force press down on him like a mountain. His originally extremely fast figure instantly halted, and the sudden, powerful pressure even made him involuntarily fall to his knees before Su Yang with a thud.

He mobilized all his True Qi to try and get up from the ground, but he couldn't do it at all; he couldn't even lift his spine under the immense pressure.

Su Yang's strength was already above his, and combined with his True Qi being far purer and more profound than his, even with just a small Realm difference, the gap in strength between the two was actually like heaven and earth.

"How is this possible..."

"You... how could you have become so strong..."

Jiang Muchen spoke with difficulty; under the deterrence of the pressure, he was now beyond the description of 'disbelief.'

The Junior Brothers behind him, who had been anticipating a fierce battle, saw Su Yang easily suppress the fully committed Jiang Muchen with just his pressure. Each of them was so shocked that their pupils dilated, and they dared not breathe.

Those who had never had conflict with Su Yang were fine, but those who had offended Su Yang previously, after witnessing this scene, had only one thought in their minds: how to apologize to Su Yang, how to make him forgive their past recklessness.

Wen Yuheng, standing in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, all his attention on Su Yang.

Such pure and profound True Qi appearing in a Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase was truly astonishing.

He couldn't discern what Opportunity Su Yang possessed, but judging from his changes before and after the Foundation Establishment ceremony, this Opportunity had indeed brought him immense influence and transformation.

Perhaps, this was also an Opportunity for the Profound Heaven Dao Sect!?

Wen Yuheng was not certain.

But he became increasingly convinced that bringing Su Yang along this time was absolutely the correct choice; perhaps he could truly bring an unexpected surprise to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect!

"Sect Master, has this Disciple proven his strength?"

Su Yang, below, cupped his fists and said.

"That will do!"

Wen Yuheng nodded and said, "Jiang Muchen, whether you are convinced or not, Su Yang has already proven with his strength that he is qualified to be the leader of everyone present."

After receiving the Sect Master's approval, Su Yang withdrew the pressure he had exerted on Jiang Muchen.

The utterly humiliated Jiang Muchen immediately got up from the ground and distanced himself from Su Yang. He looked at Su Yang with a ferocity like a beast that had shed all its disguise; beyond disbelief, there was an even greater, uncontainable rage.

Su Yang ignored his gaze, cupped his hands, and said to Wen Yuheng, "Sect Master, all the Disciples who entered the Foundation Establishment Stage this year have arrived; we can depart at any time!"

"Since everyone has arrived, then let's depart!"

Wen Yuheng waved his hand, and a palm-sized boat appeared in the air, which then transformed into a giant immortal ship floating in the sky amidst a burst of light.

"Board the ship, prepare to depart!"

Su Yang turned back and said to the Junior Brothers behind him, then took the lead in flying onto the immortal ship.

Everyone scrambled to follow Su Yang onto the immortal ship.

Jiang Muchen, who had originally stood at the very front, was now at the very back, with only a few of his loyal followers still by his side.

"Young Master Jiang, don't be depressed; let's get on the ship first."

"Su Yang's strength has indeed increased a lot, but as long as Young Master Jiang obtains an ancient Magical Artifact in Burial Immortal Valley, eliminating him will be a matter of minutes."

"Let's go, Young Master Jiang."

His loyal followers beside him tried to persuade him.

Jiang Muchen would naturally not abandon his trip to Burial Immortal Valley because of this humiliation; the more this happened, the more he wanted to go to Burial Immortal Valley to seize his fated Magical Artifact, so he would have the chance to avenge all the humiliations!

"Go!"

Jiang Muchen took a deep breath and flew onto the immortal ship.

"Depart!"

Everyone boarded the ship, and Wen Yuheng formed a few hand seals with one hand. The immortal ship, which had been stationary in the air, immediately began to move.

"Wait a minute!!! Father!!! Wait for me!!!"

A clear voice came from the horizon.

Wen Yuheng and Su Yang both frowned simultaneously.

For both of them, this voice was all too familiar.

Wen Yunyao's figure rapidly enlarged from the horizon. She wore a long, blue-green dress and gracefully landed on the immortal ship, letting out a long sigh of relief, finally having made it.

She knew today was the day to go to Burial Immortal Valley, and she guessed that Su Yang would definitely go to Burial Immortal Valley after his Confinement Room ended.

So, after leaving the Confinement Room, she immediately went back, took a shower, and changed her clothes, wanting to dress herself beautifully to go to Burial Immortal Valley with Su Yang.

She just didn't expect them to depart so quickly.

Fortunately, she made it at the last moment.

She glanced at Su Yang in the crowd and, smiling sweetly, coquettishly said to her father, "Father, I also want to go to Burial Immortal Valley with you all. Let me go with you all."

Su Yang rubbed his temples helplessly; this girl was clearly coming for him.

Wen Yuheng said, "Didn't you already go once last year? And didn't you say it wasn't fun at all last year? Why are you going?"

"I said it wasn't fun last year because I didn't get a fated Magical Artifact, and I was angry, that's why I said that."

Wen Yunyao pulled her father's hand and pouted, "Father, I've been Cultivating very, very, very diligently recently, and my Cultivation has increased so much. I want to relax, you know? Please let me go to Burial Immortal Valley with you all, okay, okay?"

"Alright, alright, I give up."

Wen Yuheng was helpless. As his only daughter, he had always indulged her every request. Going to Burial Immortal Valley wasn't a big deal, so he agreed.

After speaking, he added, "I heard that the boy from the Yu Ling Sect will also be going this year. It's a good chance for you two to connect. If you want to go, then go."

When Wen Yunyao heard that the person from the Yu Ling Sect was also going, a hint of disgust and displeasure flickered across her brows, but after glancing at Su Yang in the crowd, these emotions disappeared, replaced by a cheerful expression.

"Thank you, Father~~~"

As long as she could go with Su Yang, everything else could be dealt with later.

"Enough, enough."

Wen Yuheng smiled dotingly, and with a slight movement of his right hand, the immortal ship sped forward, instantly passing through the Profound Heaven Dao Sect's mountain-protecting array and flying towards Burial Immortal Valley...
