Chapter 99: Displaying Might at the Wula Mountains

  In the Wula Mountains, a deep and profound valley surrounded by millions of miles of lush greenery, spiritual energy, insect calls, and layered clouds. However, this vast and blessed land has no powerful forces stationed within it. The square thousand-mile valley is filled with fierce winds all day long, sharp as a knife's edge, causing birds and beasts to tremble with fear.

  At this time, in the deep valley of ten thousand zhang, there was a peaceful scene. In the vast and wide valley below, nearly thirty or more hundred-zhang-high temples stood toweringly. No mistake, even in the world of God's Forbidden Land, it was extremely rare that only those powerful god-tribe descendants' elder-level figures had one, comparable to lower-grade divine artifacts.

  But now, in the Wulang Mountains of Lixiao Continent, one of the eighteen continents of the Savage Wilderness, there is such a terrifying force lurking, and spreading it out would shock the entire Divine Forbidden World.

  In the grandest temple, nearly forty cultivators sat on the throne, exuding powerful auras and intimidating presences that seemed to be restrained, yet laced with hints of ruthless slaughter and eerie coldness, an extreme contradiction.

  One of the middle-aged men with a gloomy face spoke in a low voice to the crowd: "The fallen god tribe, the beast god tribe Qi Yu's old guy sent a message saying that the newly established Chen Xiu Immortal Gate has a treasure, what do you think?"

  One of the elderly men with a wrinkle between his eyebrows, resembling a closed eye, said: "This old man Qi Yu is not kind-hearted. For so many years, everyone has understood his thoughts. I think it's better not to believe what he says. Even if there is something, it must be a hard bone to chew on, lest we fall into his trap!"

  "You're getting more and more cowardly, you've really disgraced the Three-Eyed Flame Tribe! You're indeed a castaway of the Three-Eyed Flame Tribe!" A slender young man sneered.

  That old man with a pattern on his brow is the former Three-Eyed God of Fire, now a traitor who has escaped from the gods.

  The old man suddenly heard the young man say this, a terrifying divine aura was faintly emitted, but he finally endured it and retorted: "Unexpectedly, among the Hongyuan Shengzu Water God tribe, there is actually such a scourge, harming the group, and it's really shameful to the extreme!"

  "Who?" The rest of the thirty or so people present looked like they were watching a play, and it was clear that their relationship wasn't very good.

  A middle-aged man with a thunderous tone said loudly, "Sun Gui, don't say these things again. Everyone present is not a traitor of the major gods' tribes. From now on, no one is allowed to speak about this aspect!"

  The Water God's clan, Chen Gui, said with a proud face: "This has nothing to do with you, why are you interfering? You, Long Xiang, who claims to be from the Thunder God's clan of utmost yang, aren't you also betraying your own godly tribe? Moreover, our Wan Zhang Valley is a place where people can come and go freely, without any restrictions. Don't try to lecture me."

  "It seems that this time, it's up to us, the three Gu brothers, to take action. Our Wan Zhai Valley also needs to intimidate the many powers of the Wula Mountain Range. If we don't, they will forget our majesty and become arrogant, plotting to challenge us. However, I've said it before, if there's anything good this time, you're not allowed to snatch it!" One of the three bald young men sitting on the three connected thrones spoke in a cold voice, all of them having no expression on their faces, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

  "Of course!" The many giants of the Wan Zang Valley nodded in agreement, but they had some reservations about the three brothers Gu Jian. The three brothers were triplets, with a deep spiritual connection, and their combined strength was even more terrifying.

  In the Wan Zang Valley, all those gathered were outcasts who had escaped from various divine tribes. Various divine abilities and secret techniques were immeasurable, and they also had heavy concerns about each other, mutually guarding against each other.

  In front of the Chenxi Temple, Elder Xinmin of the Chenxi Sect brought her daughter, and the sect leader Ji Ming was explaining to the neatly arranged children, ranging from 4-5 years old to 11-12 years old, the first layer of the "Xian Yi Jue" - the foundation-building chapter of the Dao body. Of course, it was mainly Ji Ming who explained, while Elder Xinmin supplemented from the side. Although she had not cultivated any Xian family's law, as a peak existence of divine soul, her broad vision and experience allowed her to gain some understanding after carefully considering this rough and simple introductory Xian method.

  As for Ji Ming himself, his strength is not high either. He has only cultivated the top-level technique "Miao Xin Jue" to the first layer peak, equivalent to the Yu Kong realm's strength. Limited by his knowledge, he can only recite the knowledge passed down by his master word for word without missing a single character.

  "This 'Xian Yi Jue' is divided into seven layers: Building the Foundation, Condensing the Elixir, Golden Elixir, Original Spirit, Penetrating Emptiness, Thunderbolt Tribulation, and Great Vehicle. Among them, the most important for cultivating immortality are the three major checkpoints of Building the Foundation, Original Spirit, and Thunderbolt Tribulation. Building the Foundation is the beginning of stepping into the immortal path to lay the foundation for cultivation, while Original Spirit is the result of a cultivator's minor achievement. As long as the Original Spirit is not destroyed, one can re-cultivate after rebirth, similar to the divine soul of a cultivator. Thunderbolt Tribulation requires using the extreme yang energy of heavenly thunder to temper the Original Spirit into a pure yang Original Spirit, in preparation for ascending to the heavens..."

  Those orphans also knew that this was a great opportunity, enough to change the fate of their lives, and they all listened carefully, without blinking.

  In the back hall of Chen Xuan Hall, at this time, Wan Chen was constantly practicing "Hunyuan Jue" in a secret room. The true yuan circulated along the mysterious trajectory in the meridians, and with each cycle, the true yuan inside his body became more refined, growing stronger by a thread, flowing through the Dantian where the Hongdang Great Bell floated, causing the great bell to vibrate slightly, flashing a hint of crimson light, and his spiritual nature also increased continuously.

  Zhu Chen's "Hunyuan Jue" and Ji Ming's "Miaoxin Jue" are both the lifeblood of great masters who were once among the 3,000 guests under Hong Jun. They are divided into nine layers: Building the Dao Body, Concluding the Golden Elixir, Casting the Original Spirit, Purifying the Yang Body, Heavenly Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm, Extreme Immortal Realm, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, and Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

  After more than ten years of cultivation, Zhan Chen has successfully entered the second layer of "Hunyuan Jue", feeling the surging true yuan force in his body, thinking that it won't be long before he can try to condense the golden elixir!

  Suddenly, the Town Soul Bell in Dantian trembled, and Quan Chen immediately stopped his cultivation. This Town Soul Bell was connected to his mind and had a strong spiritual sense. In the past, it had warned him many times before he entered the Hao Lin Forest for training and collecting spiritual materials, allowing him to avoid several beast attacks. He feared that this time, an enemy was approaching.

  Chen Zhen stood up, but he had expected this to happen. The Chen Xiu Immortal Gate was newly established, and it was inevitable that some malicious forces would try to probe and provoke them. This time, they could use it as a demonstration of their power to intimidate those petty villains.

  As soon as he entered the front hall, Quan Chen saw that his mother and younger sister Ji Man were also solemn-faced, while the gatekeepers had all been dismissed to their respective houses.

  "Brother!" "Chen Er", it seems that my sister also knows that the enemy is coming, and the warning bell is ringing. The warning bell, which is a spiritual treasure of the same level as the Town Soul Bell, is extraordinary. Not only can it warn, but it can also automatically protect its master.

  "Sister, you stay here," Ruan Chen said, finishing his sentence by flying up into the air.

  Just as he flew up into the air, a majestic and awe-inspiring aura suddenly seemed to freeze space itself, suppressing the entire mountain range. Shan Chen's body came to an abrupt halt, his True Yuan energy circulation becoming unsmooth, his flight technique losing its efficacy, his body shaking and swaying precariously, almost falling over.

  At that moment, the Town Soul Bell rang out a clear and loud sound that shook the entire Dantian. A brilliant light burst forth, enveloping Zhan Chen's entire body. The intense divine aura that had been pressing down on him instantly dissipated, and Zhan Chen regained his stability, floating steadily in mid-air.

  "Hahaha……" A string of maniacal laughter echoed throughout the mountain range, and three identical bald young men gradually appeared in the void ahead. After the laughter stopped, their eyes turned cold, and the middle one spoke: "I didn't expect to catch a big fish this time."

  "Kid, you can't even withstand my pressure, yet you dare to be so arrogant at such a young age. I must say, I'm impressed! Quickly hand over the treasure in your hands and I'll spare this sect of yours. Otherwise..."

  "Otherwise, you can wait for your whole family to be wiped out!" another bald and cold youth said harshly.

  With the help of the Town Soul Bell, he was also determined. Facing the three identical bald young men in front of him who emitted a vast and powerful aura, he was shocked and suspicious. Weren't they supposed to be without any major powers stationed in the 18 Wilderness Continents? Their strength was at least at the level of Tongshen, far more terrifying than his mother's pressure. How did they appear?

  Naturally, he also didn't know about the forbidden land of Wan Zhang Valley in the Wula Mountains, and those small and medium-sized forces were also wary and didn't dare to reveal a single hint.

  "It seems that's the case, then. It looks like you're not friends, so this time I'll just have to leave all of you behind!" Ruan Chen said calmly, his face serene as he regarded the enormous divine might with indifference.

  "You insolent whelp, you dare to be so arrogant! Today, I will raze your Morning Dew Sect to the ground and leave no chicken or dog alive!" One of the bald young men shouted in anger, then pulled out a low-grade divine sword that transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Luan Chen at incredible speed.

  Chen Xin's heart moved, the Town Soul Bell in his dantian transformed into a golden light that appeared in his hand, transforming into a ten-zhang high bell that struck down with a loud crash.

  A loud crash, a burst of intense light exploded from the collision between the sword and the giant bell, as the primordial energy surged and shot out in all directions, the whirlwind raged, and the entire void was filled with a blinding glare.

  A crisp cracking sound came from the dazzling center, and a figure sprayed out a blood flower and fell backward.

  "Old Three!" Two cries of surprise rang out, and then they rushed over to catch the Old Three who had flown back. Upon closer inspection, Old Three's face was pale, shaking uncontrollably, and still holding onto the broken lower-grade divine sword.

  The Soul Bell flew back into Zuo Chen's hands intact and undamaged, shaking up and down with a rich spiritual aura.

  "I want you dead!" one of the bald youths bellowed with red eyes. Another one also glared at Luan Chen with a furious face.

  "Divine Seal: Shadow Bind!"

  "Divine Seal Technique, Vanish into Thin Air!"

  Two loud shouts, and Luan Chen's body suddenly froze, his entire body bound by an invisible force, unable to move at all. One of the two bald young men blinked out of sight on the spot, only to reappear instantly in front of Luan Chen. A divine sword carrying unmatched divine power stabbed towards his brow, its ferocious face looking somewhat cruel and sinister.

  Just as the sword was about to pierce his skull, the Soul-Calming Bell in his hand suddenly shone like a rising sun.

  A burst of magnificent light illuminated the entire area, and the sound of a bell echoed through the air, causing the young man with a shaved head to suddenly freeze in place. His eyes lost their luster, turning dull and lifeless as he plummeted from his position ten million feet high in the sky.

  Those two in the distance were also severely injured, their bodies swaying unsteadily.

  "Let's go," the two remaining twins looked at their fallen brother's corpse, a pang of sadness in their hearts, with a belly full of hatred, seeing that nothing could be done, they immediately fled.

  After the Zhēn Hún Zhōng rang, Yuán Chén immediately regained his mobility. Looking at the two who wanted to escape, Yuán Chén's face flashed with a stern expression, and he tossed the Zhēn Hún Zhōng in his hand into the air. The bell transformed into a yellow light beam, growing to the size of a mountain range, and crashed down on the two fleeing figures. Then, another chime sounded, and the two silhouettes inside the bell were instantly shattered into nothingness.

  Since the three brothers of Gu Cang left and never returned, the Chen Xie Immortal Gate still stood tall among them. Every day, there were Taoist children practicing breathing exercises within it. The Wan Zhang Valley fell silent, and some small news spread throughout the Wula Mountain range.

  All parties have some understanding of the reasons behind it, especially on that day when the three Tongshen realm existences released their mighty divine power, many Shendong realm and above cultivators in the Wula mountain range had a feeling of subjugation from that boundless and overwhelming divine power.

  After the events of that day, all parties in the Wula Mountains tacitly acknowledged the status of Chenxisha Sect among them and did not dare to provoke it easily.

  From then on, Chenxu Xianmen began to accumulate strength and expand itself in the Wula mountain range.
