Chapter 4

"In this system of today, the organization called the Immortal Alliance probably wants to control every cultivator, specifically having Foundation Establishment cultivators search for solitary Qi Practitioners and bring them back for easier control. This way, the little girl's appearance wouldn't raise suspicion. The little girl came in to attract the attention of the Daoist with the surname Hai. In the instant the Daoist Hai focuses on the little girl, the four Great Cultivators can take advantage of the opportunity to set up a net of heaven and earth."

Wang Qi was somewhat at a loss, responding in his mind, "What kind of unforeseen disaster is this? And didn't you say a few years ago that there wouldn't be any cultivators within ten miles?"

"That Daoist Hai is also a Great Master of the Mahayana stage, his strength surpassing even mine. It's normal to have a momentary lapse in vigilance," Zhen Chanzi defended.

"What should we do then?"

"It depends on what kind of organization this Immortal Alliance is."

Wang Qi's eyes darted, looking at the girl, "Sister Immortal, what kind of organization is this Immortal Alliance?"

Zhen Chanzi once again flared up in Wang Qi's mind, "Idiot, who asks so directly!"

Such a straightforward and foolish question even made the red-clothed girl lose her composure, "What do you mean by 'what kind of organization'?"

"Is the Immortal Alliance good or bad, benevolent or malevolent? You have to give me a clear answer, right?"

"You don't need to worry about that. You'll naturally know when you get there."

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Four perfectly synchronized sword-drawing sounds.

The four people from the Heavenly Sword Palace all drew their swords.

Hai Shenbao did nothing.

Despite having a numerical advantage, the four from the Heavenly Sword Palace were not the least bit careless. Although Daoist Bu Zhun was once known for his rigid and stubborn nature, his cultivation was genuine.

The first to make a move was Gu Ci, the wielder of the Electric Whirl Sword. With a single thrust of his sword, a mist of sword qi spread out. The sword mist was like real clouds, ethereal and dreamlike, but if one's spiritual sense touched the mist, the beauty would turn into a sharp and lethal strike!

This was the Piaomiao Palace's ultimate technique, the Unpredictable Cloud Sword!

Madam Ma made a decisive move, using her sword to launch an attack. Her magical power was already infused with the aura of a rare metal, which she usually used to heal and save lives. However, if Madam Ma had the intention to kill, the aura of the rare metal would take the life of her enemy without the need for any spells.

Palace Master Qian, on the other hand, fully unleashed the power of the Heavenly Sword. He followed the path of brute force, lacking the various subtleties but having a solid foundation. Once the Heavenly Sword was unleashed, it could break through all the laws of the world!

Daoist Bu Rong was the last to move, but he also swung his Heavenly Sword. He leaped forward, the sword light pointing directly at Daoist Bu Zhun! His sword technique seemed simple and unadorned, but in the attack, he changed over ten moves, none of which were the same! The strangest thing was that his moves were not compatible with each other, yet they coexisted naturally!

These four people were all top-notch cultivators in the world. Together, they could even slice a celestial immortal into a cucumber. However, facing such an attack, Daoist Bu Zhun remained motionless, as if he had everything under control.

At the last moment before the attack hit, Daoist Bu Zhun finally moved!

—————————————————————————————

Suddenly, Wang Qi let out a painful scream!

Wang Qi's cry was so agonizing that it startled the girl, "Hey, what's wrong with you!"

Wang Qi ignored the girl and shouted at the ring, "Old man! What's going on? Speak up!"

"What's happening?" The girl was completely at a loss.

It turned out that Zhen Chanzi had suddenly roared "Impossible" in his mind, almost shaking Wang Qi's soul! After that, Zhen Chanzi became obsessed, repeatedly muttering "Impossible": "How could it be... impossible... that's the power of a celestial immortal... impossible..."

Wang Qi almost thought that Zhen Chanzi's remnant soul had been injured while observing those Mahayana cultivators and no longer cared about hiding.

"That ring must be sealing the remnant soul of an ancient powerful cultivator. You know how ancient cultivators react to modern techniques," a new voice interjected.

A young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, appeared on a flying sword, walking alongside the girl. The girl stopped her sword light, shaking Wang Qi, and said, "Mission accomplished."

Wang Qi hurriedly smiled, "How should I address this senior?"

The young man didn't put on airs, "Disciple of the Myriad Methods Gate, Li Ziyi. This is my junior sister from the Burning Gold Valley, Xiang Qi. We are both protectors of the Immortal Alliance. How should I address you, young brother?"

"My name is Wang Qi. What do you mean by 'ancient techniques' and 'modern techniques'? This old man keeps talking in my head... ah ah ah!"

Before he could finish, Zhen Chanzi roared again, "What kind of movement technique is this! How... how dare there be such a movement technique!"

Zhen Chanzi's worldview was shaken, and his Dao heart became unstable, causing his soul power to start dispersing! Wang Qi was the first to be affected!

——————————————————————

"Hmph."

Daoist Bu Zhun coldly snorted.

At the last moment before the attack hit, he finally moved.

In an instant, Hai Shenbao activated his famous unpredictable movement technique to its极限. Daoist Bu Zhun's movement was not fast, but no one could simultaneously discern his position and speed!

The unpredictable movement technique lived up to its name.

In an instant, he escaped the range of Madam Ma and Palace Master Qian's sword techniques. The Burning Gold Valley cultivator was not skilled in combat, so Madam Ma immediately retreated thirty zhang, guarding the side, her sword intent covering the entire area to prevent Daoist Bu Zhun from escaping, while simultaneously spreading the aura of the rare metal. Palace Master Qian, on the other hand, presented a different scene. Qian Xueshen was originally a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, excelling in flying and controlling swords. Under the sweeping sword wind, the fully activated Heavenly Sword made bizarre turns, a power that even ordinary celestial immortals found hard to control.

The deputy palace master of the Heavenly Sword Palace's unique creation, the Qian Family Sword Track Technique!

But it was still not enough.

Even with the keen eyes of Wu Shi Jie, it was far from enough to lock onto Daoist Bu Zhun.

Madam Ma and Palace Master Qian both understood that their main role was to suppress Daoist Bu Zhun with their momentum, keeping him at a disadvantage, while blocking his escape route. As for severely injuring this Piaomiao Palace cultivator, they had to rely on the other two Piaomiao cultivators.

Gu Ci wielded his sword, activating the Unpredictable Cloud Sword to attack Daoist Bu Zhun. The sword mist rapidly spun, creating a formidable momentum. Daoist Bu Zhun avoided the direct hit of the sword mist with his movement technique, but he couldn't help but glance at the sword mist. The moment Hai Shenbao's gaze touched the sword mist, the hidden changes in the Unpredictable Cloud Sword instantly activated, causing the sword mist to collapse. All Daoist Bu Zhun saw was a flash of lightning!

"Even a grain of sand can shine?"

Daoist Bu Zhun sneered disdainfully, summoning his life-bound treasure, the Great Square Heaven Map! At first glance, it was just a thin sheet of white paper, but the Great Square Array it contained was the result of unifying various Piaomiao techniques. In the past, Daoist Bu Zhun had used this treasure to act without restraint. Before the波动天君 Xue Ding'e combined the Ripple Hall's ripple energy with the Piaomiao techniques, no one could break it!

The moment Gu Ci's sword light touched the Great Square Heaven Map, it pierced into the painting, spreading and becoming part of it. Gu Ci hastily withdrew his sword. But Daoist Bu Zhun had no time to pursue, as at that moment, the sword technique of Daoist Bu Rong, whom he feared the most, had already locked onto him.

One sword, two swords, three swords... the sword light that returned to its original simplicity sealed all of Hai Shenbao's escape routes. Daoist Bu Rong and Daoist Bu Zhun were fellow disciples, familiar with each other's combat techniques. Daoist Bu Zhun did not dare to be careless, using the Great Square Heaven Map to absorb Daoist Bu Rong's sword light. He knew he had to end the battle quickly, because with each few moves, his senior brother's sword would increase in power. Once the entire set of Daoist Bu Rong's Electric Sword was completed, no one in the world could withstand it!

The Great Square Heaven Map and the Heavenly Sword of Daoist Bu Rong both emitted a brilliant light, and the two fellow disciples simultaneously unleashed their full power!

————————————————————————————

Wang Qi felt a darkness before his eyes. When he came to, he was already in Xiang Qi's hands, who had handed him over to Li Ziyi. Li Ziyi supported him with his left hand and held the hand with the ring with his right hand, a brilliant light shining from his palm. Li Ziyi smiled, "Senior is old, he should calm down."

"Hmph." Zhen Chanzi's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"What's going on... eh eh!"

Wait, something seems off?

This posture... a man holding another man in his arms, supporting his ring-wearing hand, saying something...

Wang Qi instantly drew a conclusion.

He was terrified, quickly struggling and stepping back a few steps, shouting, "Senior, you misunderstood! I'm not that kind of person!"

Li Ziyi was confused, "Ah? What do you mean, little brother? Did I do something wrong?"

Wang Qi decided not to touch Li Ziyi, "Tell me what happened just now first."

Xiang Qi coldly snorted, "The old antique in your ring saw the most advanced techniques of today, got scared, lost his mind, and his soul power dispersed."

Wang Qi then noticed that Li Ziyi and Xiang Qi had landed in a small forest far from the village. The huge light ball was still hanging in the sky, indicating that the battle among the Mahayana cultivators had not ended.

Li Ziyi was at a loss, "Xiang junior, among the ancient cultivators, there were also predecessors who laid the foundation for modern techniques. You shouldn't be so disrespectful."

"Tch, the Myriad Methods Gate has the longest tradition in modern techniques, with its founding ancestor being an ancient cultivator, so it's natural to say that."

Wang Qi became more and more confused and looked at the ring. Since he was already exposed, he no longer hid Zhen Chanzi's existence.

"The power contained in the swords of those cultivators is even greater than the lightning of the ascension of Mahayana cultivators!" Zhen Chanzi was clearly still shaken: "And that Daoist's movement technique is so terrifying! I have never seen such techniques, and in my shock, I lost my mind, causing my soul power to disperse and rush into your body."

"Wait, old man, you mean to say that you were so scared by a few techniques over there that you lost control in my mind!" Wang Qi was shocked.

Even with a thousand years of cultivation, Zhen Chanzi couldn't help but react to this, "Hmph! The path of today's cultivators is strange and bizarre. I was momentarily caught off guard, doubting my past thoughts and beliefs, leading to a backlash of my Dao heart!"

"Then, old man, you've betrayed me." Wang Qi suddenly stopped smiling, gritting his teeth, "Now it seems that the five years I spent cultivating the 'Great Chaos Heavenly Scripture' were a waste of time!"

Zhen Chanzi, being a Mahayana master, gradually calmed down, "Ten thousand years ago, the 'Great Chaos Heavenly Scripture' was indeed a supreme cultivation technique. It's just that the development over these ten thousand years has been too bizarre, exceeding my understanding."

Wang Qi lowered his head, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Li Ziyi felt a bit sorry, "Little brother Wang, you don't need to be too disappointed. The fact that you can cultivate magical power means you have the potential to seek immortality. Every cultivator is meaningful to the Immortal Alliance... huh?"

Li Ziyi let out a puzzled sound because he was actually trying his hardest not to laugh.

"Hehehe... ahahaha... I originally thought this world was low-level, boring, and uninteresting... but I didn't expect... ahahahaha!"
