Chapter 219: Ascension
The vast Yunyang Sect crumbled.
Ji Guandao, along with a group of inner sect elites, took not only Taihao Peak and the sect’s millennia of accumulation but also the faith and pride of hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
Even though the other eight peaks remained and the three cities of Yunyang still stood, the hearts of the people were utterly lost. The sect’s disintegration happened almost instantly, with no chance of recovery!
At this moment, an immense amount of resentment and anger from countless people seemed to gather around Ji Guandao.
In front of the inner mountain gate, beside the stone tablet, the Xuan Gui looked up at the ever-rising Taihao Peak and muttered to itself, “A little fox, a little guy, quite impressive indeed.”
“Hope you succeed.”
With that, it suddenly shook its massive, mountain-like body.
In the blink of an eye, this thousand-year-old Xuan Gui shrank to the size of a palm, and it used its four paws to fly forward at an astonishing speed.
With a splash, it leaped into a rushing river.
The cause and effect had ended; it was now carefree!
The stone tablet that had stood beside the mountain gate for a thousand years trembled and then crashed down!
At this moment, Taihao Peak was already more than three thousand zhang above the ground.
“Grandmaster Ji, what a remarkable feat!”
At that moment, a loud and clear voice echoed simultaneously.
From the west and north sides of Taihao Peak, waves of brilliant clouds surged forth, swirling violently and creating the appearance of thousands of troops galloping.
At the same time, two vast auras simultaneously locked onto Taihao Peak.
The ascension momentum of Taihao Peak was suddenly suppressed!
Inside the Yunlong Grand Hall, Mu Qingqiu, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, changed her expression.
Two Nascent Soul true immortals!
They arrived far too quickly.
If only there were a bit more time, Taihao Peak would have soared to the nine heavens, breaking through the boundary to escape to the upper realm.
Now with this sudden turn of events, while it was not difficult to rely on the formations to resist the two true immortals, breaking through the boundary would be very challenging.
Having climbed nine steps, failing at the last moment was a result Mu Qingqiu was determined not to see.
No one understood better than her how much effort and dedication her senior brother had put in to save the Yunyang Sect from the impending great disaster.
This true master wished she could burn her Golden Core just to stall the two Nascent Souls for a moment.
The problem was that she had already exhausted her strength using the formations to forcefully attack the Nascent Soul of Jiuyue Sect twice, and now she didn’t even have one ten-thousandth of her usual power to intervene.
While Ji Guandao’s expression didn’t change, the gravity in his eyes revealed the turmoil within him.
“Grandmaster, Little Qiu.”
An old voice suddenly reached their ears: “From now on, the Yunyang Sect will be entrusted to you two!”
Mu Qingqiu gasped: “Grand Elder!”
In the central formation of Taihao Peak, the plain-clothed elder looked up at the high ceiling of the cavern, where a water mirror vividly reflected the scenes outside.
He raised the ancient vine staff in his hand, his fox-like eyes gleaming with golden radiance, and three snowy tails slowly unfurled behind him.
In the next moment, the plain-clothed elder abruptly slammed the staff down, opening his mouth to expel a dazzling Golden Core.
“Go!”
With a commanding shout, a massive phantom of a fox tail materialized out of thin air outside Taihao Peak, wrapping itself around the majestic mountain.
The plain-clothed elder bellowed in a deep voice, “Heavenly Fox, protect us!”
His body suddenly swelled, and flames erupted from the Golden Core above his head, giving rise to a new fox tail behind him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two Yuan Ying auras that had been targeting Taihao Peak were forcefully dispelled, and the liberated mountain surged upward.
In the blink of an eye, it ascended a hundred zhang in height.
“Yunyang has protected me for five hundred years; I shall repay it with my life!”
Before the two true immortals could react, an aged and resolute voice echoed through the heavens, and the fox tail encircling Taihao Peak solidified, lashing out fiercely at them!
Boom! Boom!
The swirling clouds exploded, and in an instant, heaven and earth seemed to crumble.
Bang!
In the central formation, the plain-clothed elder instantly burst into a mist of blood, while the Golden Core turned to ash and vanished!
“Old Hu!”
In the Yunlong Grand Hall, Ji Guandao took a deep breath and shouted with fury, “Fairy Bai!”
“Hahaha…”
An enchantingly melodious laughter suddenly rang out as the foundational stones at the very base of Taihao Peak cracked apart.
A colossal white python burst forth from the rocks, coiling upward around the pillars of Taihao Peak.
Its tail was firmly pinned to the base of the mountain by a thick, long golden staff, and its violent struggles sprayed fresh blood everywhere.
However, with the white python’s assistance, the ascent of Taihao Peak suddenly accelerated tenfold, shooting up into the nine heavens in the blink of an eye.
Above it was an endless void!
“Break!”
Ji Guandao struck his palm toward the void.
This seemingly ordinary palm strike harnessed the full destructive power of the Yunyang Array.
With a single blow, he shattered the barrier between heaven and earth!
A flash of light appeared in the void, revealing a long spatial rift.
In the next moment, Taihao Peak “plunged” into this rift.
At that moment, the white python coiled around the mountain abruptly twisted its body, forcefully whipping its tail back.
Crack!
The golden staff that was pinned above was unexpectedly flung away, plummeting towards the nine heavens below.
Accompanied by a soft hum, the freed White Python slipped into the depths of the spatial rift and vanished instantly!
Taihao Peak also transformed into a streak of light, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Two vastly different immense forces, just a fraction of a moment apart, failed to catch up and crashed into the rapidly closing spatial rift, causing the barrier between heaven and earth to tremble!
Two muffled grunts echoed simultaneously, filled with frustration and a hint of helplessness.
Even the powerful Nascent Soul true immortals could not have imagined that the small Yunyang Sect harbored such a defiant scheme.
Moreover, it had succeeded!
Most incredibly, the Grandmaster of the Yunyang Sect, Ji Guandao, did not ascend alone.
He took the essence of the entire sect with him, forcibly breaking through the barrier of heaven and earth to escape to the upper realm.
With such audacity and courage, even the two true immortals had to admire him!
Now that events had reached this point, even the Nascent Soul true immortals could not change the outcome and could only leave in disappointment.
As for the hundreds of thousands of cultivators back at the Yunyang Sect and several immortal cities, they showed no interest in casting even a glance.
The spiritual vein of Tianyun Mountain had already been drained; its spiritual energy had almost completely disappeared. Although it would slowly recover some, it would no longer be different from an ordinary outside realm.
Ji Guandao had fled with his sister-in-law, leaving only a few scraps.
What remained was for a few heavily damaged sub-sects to pick at.
In this world, there was no longer Yunyang!
Thousands of miles away, at the Star Observation Pavilion in the mortal realm of Da Qian, Wang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
[Five Element Technique (Ninth Level): 0/900]
He had just successfully advanced to the ninth level of Qi Training, only one step away from breaking through to open a house.
However, at this moment, Wang Chen felt no joy; it was as if he had lost something.
A sense of instinctive unease overcame him!
After a moment of thought, Wang Chen flicked his fingers to release a strand of magical power.
The mandarin duck mirror hanging on the front wall suddenly lit up, revealing the scene outside.
His gaze suddenly focused!
