IS Chapter 131

Chapter 131

As Wu Huan’s body fell forward, Yuan Tai was also having an arm sliced off by Feng Huai.

Lin Zhu looked at Yuan Tai and then glanced at the sky.

“Really not coming?” Feng Jiang muttered to himself, “So polite, not bullying the younger generation?”

“That’s not necessarily true. Since it’s a crusade against a demonic palace, it should be done with swift and decisive measures. Perhaps Real Person Yuan Tai has a benefit he desires, so he took the lead.”

“Just a pawn, then. Doesn’t Upper Purity Mountain love to test the waters before making a move?” Feng Jiang said, “Wei Sheng seems to have said he set up formations all over the Green Mountains, maybe the immortal ruler is trapped in one.”

Lin Zhu: “…”

Ordinary methods really couldn’t break through these Green Mountains. But if they could be broken through, it would be extraordinary.

As if to confirm Lin Zhu’s thoughts, in the next moment, five pillars of light with different colors suddenly lit up in the distant Green Mountains!

These five pillars, colored according to the five elements, contained boundless power. They converged mightily above the main peak, and in an instant, an irresistible pressure of the Great Dao descended, and the protective formation’s light shield shattered and dissipated like paper.

In just one evening, Lin Zhu already had no formation to command: “See, isn’t this swift and decisive?”

Answering him was Feng Jiang’s voice: “Aren’t you running yet?”

As he spoke, he suddenly waved his sleeve, and a large cloud of poisonous mist swept towards everyone with the wind. The next moment, Feng Huai fell suddenly from the sky, grabbed the two of them, and flew into the mountains.

The immortal sects led by Upper Purity Mountain were greatly encouraged.

Each of the five elemental pillars was supported by an immortal ruler. After shattering the protective mountain formation, the five pillars of light radiated a light that reached the heavens and the earth, turning the entire world into the colors of the five elements. The spiritual aura of the five elements enveloped everyone, and also enveloped all the peaks of Micro-Snow Palace.

Being in it, they inexplicably felt their own strength was unusually abundant. In just a few breaths, some people had already improved by a small realm. And Real Person Yuan Tai, who had his arm cut off, was rapidly healing under the nourishment of the water and wood spiritual aura.

“The Five Elements Dao Domain!”

This was an unparalleled Dao Domain that the Dao Sect hadn’t shown to the world for many years. It was formed by five immortal rulers, each specializing in one of the five elements, merging their Dao Domains together. It was the strongest Dao Domain closest to the Great Dao in the entire human realm.

In this Dao Domain, the five immortal rulers each presided over one of the five elements, and thus presided over all things, omnipotent. Those in the Dao Domain had the protection of the five Dao Domain masters, just like having the help of the Heavenly Dao, what couldn’t be accomplished?

What’s more, there were five immortal rulers like pillars supporting the sky presiding—at this time they had also flown forward to help.

Yuan Tai: “Gentlemen, without discussing the various evil deeds of this Micro-Snow Palace for now, it is obvious to all that Fourth Palace Master Feng is refining living people into corpse puppets, an act that heaven and earth cannot tolerate! If we allow him to wreak havoc, who knows how many living beings will suffer his poison! Follow me inside and destroy this demonic palace!”

The mountain protection array had been broken, and as soon as everyone stepped into the mountain gate, the vigorous, spring-like rich spiritual energy rushed towards them, as if they had been slapped by a wave.

What a Micro-Snow Palace, it was such a spiritual and precious place! No wonder each of the Palace Masters rose up like strange peaks. If they cultivated in this mountain, wouldn’t they also advance a thousand miles in a day?

Immediately, they marched mightily towards the main peak, while a small group of people scattered and attacked the other peaks.

The White-Robed Old Man gave some instructions to his like-minded alchemic Dao friends: “Wherever there seems to be a medicine peak, medicine hut, or medicine field, you and I will go there. Don’t touch anything. If the Upper Purity Sect doesn’t succeed, we will tell the Fourth Palace Master that we came to admire the spiritual herbs, with no other intention.”

“Brother Bai-Robed is really joking, with the Five Elements Dao Domain like this, how can they not succeed?”

“Adaptation is the way of life for us Dan cultivators.”

In short, they charged into the Micro-Snow Palace like a hot knife through butter.

The front of the mountain was empty.

The main hall was empty.

The spacious and clean main hall had an ethereal and ornate design. Putting it nicely, it was sparse and open, with a misty immortal air, but in reality, it was drafty on all sides.

As soon as they entered the main hall, there wasn’t even any furniture. They didn’t see any rare or precious items. They found a strange magic tool in a hidden place on the beam, and after carefully examining it, they realized it was just a modified shadow-retaining pearl, worth ten spirit stones.

Going further inside, there were no reception, deliberation, or discussion places that other sects had. Only a well-maintained side hall had been made into a kitchen, with a few yellow catfish in a water tank and a few turnips and cabbages stored in the cellar.

It made those who had put in so much effort to break in seem absurd.

“Singing the Empty City Stratagem.” Yuan Tai snorted coldly: “These demonic people have fled at the first sign of trouble. It seems that Micro-Snow Palace is really deserted. I will ask the seniors and find out where they are hiding.”

Micro-Snow Palace, Medicine Peak.

In front of the alchemy room, Grandmaster Xia was still sitting in his wheelchair, seriously embroidering stitch by stitch. A landscape embroidery was nearing its end.

Feng Jiang said, “Grandmaster Xia, embroider in peace, we’ll take care of everything. If we can’t win, we can still run.”

Grandmaster Xia smiled and patted his head, as if to commend him, and pointed to the scene outside where the five-colored clouds gathered, giving a thumbs up.

Lin Zhu: “What does the old man want to say?”

Feng Jiang: “He said, it’s really beautiful.”

Beautiful? Lin Zhu looked at the sky where the five elements intertwined, and only felt like he was about to die.

This world was already the domain of the five Dao Sect immortal rulers. They could do whatever they wanted. Lin Zhu already felt his realm being suppressed, and had already fallen two levels in a short while. He had only heard his master talk about such a Dao Domain close to the Great Dao.

“My master said that the Five Elements Dao Domain has such power not only because of the cooperation of the five elemental immortal rulers, but also because of a treasure, a piece of Heaven-Mending Stone containing the true meaning of the five elements from a realm secret realm related to the Goddess Nüwa three hundred years ago. Only in this way can it be in line with the Great Dao.”

Looking up, he really saw a faintly glowing object in the center of the sky, constantly emitting the supreme principles of the beginning of heaven and earth.

“They know everything about the objects in the Dao Domain. They should come to us in a while.”

Feng Jiang had a sudden idea: “At this time, should we go and guard the spiritual veins?”

“What do you think?”

“But,” Feng Jiang blinked, “I don’t even know where Micro-Snow Palace’s spiritual veins are.”

Every time he was with the people of Micro-Snow Palace, Sect Leader Lin would feel a deep sense of powerlessness: “…Then let’s just wait here.”

Guarding the alchemy room was also guarding.

Feng Jiang’s attention shifted again: “Eh? Brother Lu, why are you lying next to Grandmaster Xia?”

Soon, Yuan Tai led the crowd and landed directly in front of the alchemy room.

With the Five Elements Dao Domain of his sect’s immortal ruler senior protecting him, Real Person Yuan Tai was no longer as embarrassed as he was when fighting Feng Huai just now. The aura on his body surged, and he was apparently approaching the immortal ruler realm under the blessing of the realm. The severed arm had also recovered as before, looking high-spirited.

The five immortal rulers remotely guarded outside the peak.

And Feng Huai’s gaze slowly moved to Yuan Tai, staring straight at Yuan Tai. He still remembered what he should do.

Immortal Yuan Tai and the crowd behind him were looking at the few people in front of them.

Sect Leader Lin, who was from another faction, didn’t count. Feng Jiang and Feng Huai brothers, one on the left and one on the right, were surrounded by an old man with white hair in a wheelchair. He couldn’t see his realm at all, and he looked like a mortal. A snow-white spirit deer was lying in front of the old man. Two gray-haired, blue-eyed things with upright ears were squatting at the entrance of the alchemy room, wagging their tails at them.

Several children, ranging from ten to fourteen or fifteen years old, were lurking behind the eaves, and it was clear at a glance that they wouldn’t amount to much.

According to the seniors’ senses, all the living people in Micro-Snow Palace were here.

Not only Yuan Tai, but everyone else hesitated for a moment.

Was this the appearance a heretical sect should have?

Was this the appearance a sect should have?

Which of the gentlemen present didn’t have disciples like clouds and servants filling the palace? They knew that Micro-Snow Palace had always had few people, but so few that it was unheard of.

For a righteous and great sect to come in a mighty way and encircle and suppress a few old, weak, sick, and disabled people, wouldn’t it be absurd?

The Nascent Soul Daoist in the back of the crowd was sweating profusely. It turned out that the last time he saw all the people in Micro-Snow Palace.

The Elder of the Hongmeng Sect took the lead and said, “This is probably…”

But he was interrupted by Yuan Tai’s cold gaze.

“Occupying the spiritual veins, but not widely accepting disciples, preaching and promoting the Dharma, Fourth Palace Master Feng, may I ask what you are doing here?”

“Cultivating. What else could we be doing?” Feng Jiang said, “It’s funny that the sect leader asks that.”

“A mere few people, yet occupying a territory and committing heinous crimes, then you should surrender!” Yuan Tai shouted in a low voice, summoned his immortal sword, and took the lead in attacking! The Five Elements Dao Domain poured all the power of this world into him!

Feng Huai once again drew his saber to meet him.

The saber and sword collided, and each retreated a step. The immortal sword buzzed endlessly.

Previously, each relied on their own abilities, and Yuan Tai was slightly inferior. Now that this world was completely controlled, why was Yuan Tai still slightly inferior?

The five immortal rulers in the distant sky had solemn expressions and all looked at the unremarkable old man in the center who had never revealed his abilities. A mortal appearing here, who would believe that there was nothing strange about it?

One of the immortal rulers said softly, “Go!” Behind the four immortal rulers of Metal, Wood, Water, and Fire, their primordial spirit Dharma Aspects were displayed, and they attacked the people of Micro-Snow Palace with all their strength!

And the landscape embroidery in Grandmaster Xia’s hand had just been embroidered with the last stroke.

In mid-air, Feng Huai’s saber and Yuan Tai’s sword clashed again.

Everyone only felt that an illusory afterimage had appeared in front of them. The saber and sword clung tightly to each other, Feng Huai was above, Yuan Tai was below, their clothes fluttered, the sun shone on them, casting a dazzling light. It was impossible to tell what had changed, but they only felt that this scene was very beautiful. It didn’t seem like something happening in the real world, but rather a beautiful painting. But the people were indeed moving, going through more than a dozen moves that were dazzling to the eye.

Yuan Tai gritted his teeth. In the Five Elements Dao Domain, he should be invincible. Why wasn’t he now!

Above the sky, the four immortal rulers attacked together, their power like gods.

But even the wind seemed to have stopped.

The ubiquitous spiritual energy also seemed to have become stagnant and unfamiliar.

The embroidery in Grandmaster Xia’s hand had disappeared at some point, replaced by another blank embroidery. He was still holding a needle, looking at the embroidery, selecting a position, and stabbing down the first stitch.

Lin Zhu found that his body was suddenly out of his control.

He watched helplessly as he took out a magic treasure scroll, flew up with his Qi, and attacked the immortal ruler surrounded by green light, like a marionette!

Lin Zhu: “!!!”

That was an immortal ruler, he was a medicine cultivator!

As he passed, Sect Leader Lin suddenly discovered that an incomparably powerful force was surging in his body, as if he had reached the immortal ruler realm—and then, like a marionette, he fought with the immortal ruler in charge of the “Wood” of the five elements.

And everyone saw in astonishment that the surrounding palaces, peaks, vegetation, and even everyone had turned into another extremely unfamiliar texture, with wisps of patterns and soft, strange luster.

It was like… embroidered.

This entire world, without them knowing, had become the world in the embroidery. And whatever happened in the embroidery was naturally up to the embroiderer.

In an instant, the peaks of the Green Mountains that had been firmly controlled by the Five Elements Dao Domain were replaced by another realm. Here, Grandmaster Xia was its master.

“Wow.” Feng Jiang looked up at the sky, “Grandpa Xia, you—”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Grandmaster Xia speak. It turned out that Grandmaster Xia wasn’t unable to speak.

“You cultivate the Dao, I cultivate the Dao, you use a sword, I use a saber.” The old voice was as calm as a lake, reflecting the entire sky, “Fighting and fighting, it’s like the farmers at the village entrance fighting for a third of an acre of land, you use a pitchfork, I use a rake, exactly the same.”

Feng Jiang chuckled.

The next moment, his body was completely out of his control. He grasped the longest golden needle, leaped up, and stabbed it at one of the immortal rulers.

“???”

He was a poisoner!

Grandmaster Xia leisurely and comfortably made another stitch.

“However, farmers grow grains to feed the world. You and I are all inferior to them.”

With this stitch, the invisible Ling Ming was also dragged out like a marionette.

Behind the eaves, the young masters of Micro-Blood Palace cautiously watched this scene.

“I feel like my realm has improved.”

“Me too.”

“Can Grandmaster Xia also let me be an immortal ruler?”

“I want to be one too.”

“If that’s the case, why not hire this old gentleman as a Micro-Blood Palace benefactor.”

“Why is even the deer going to fight?”

As he spoke, there was suddenly a void beside him. The one who practiced swordsmanship had also gone up. The others looked at each other, and then looked at the melee in the sky, all eager to try.

“So many people, let me use the Qi Gazing Technique personally passed down by the late Palace Master Wei Sheng Daoist before his death to observe the general trend.”

Wei Sheng Xian’s Little Daoist stretched out his hand and tapped around his eyes, and then looked up at the sky: “It’s so lively.”

Suddenly, his body stiffened, and he looked rigidly behind him: “Uh, you didn’t hear anything…”

The next moment, even he was dragged away to fight.

The leading immortal ruler coldly watched all of this, especially looking at the steady Grandmaster Xia in the center.

The inquiry of that unfilial great-grandson Yuan Tai came from his divine sense: “Grand Ancestor, is that old man an immortal ruler?”

If he wasn’t an immortal ruler, what else could he be? Were there mortals with a Dao Domain!

The reason they five were attacking together was because they feared that Micro-Snow Palace was unpredictable and had trump cards.

It turned out that it was really a big trump card.

To be able to turn the world into their own embroidery and dominate all things in it, it was clearly a Great Dao Realm of the same level as their Five Elements Dao Domain.

If they all wanted to be masters of all things, then why not test who was better. Immediately, they also urged the Five Elements Dao Domain to resist it, dividing the world into two.

While examining the strength of the Dao Domain, he said in a deep voice: “May I ask this fellow Daoist, what grievances do you have with my Upper Purity Sect? You may speak frankly. If it’s a misunderstanding, it can be resolved.”

Grandmaster Xia slowly lowered his needle. After a few breaths, he leisurely replied: “What if there is a grudge, what if there isn’t. This immortal Dao is all about fighting and snatching, with blood flowing like a river. In the past, your sect was strong and others were weak, so your sect could naturally bully others. Today, my palace is strong and your sect is weak, so your sect will naturally have to stretch its neck and be slaughtered.”

What great arrogance! Even if they defeated the Dao Sect immortal ruler today, weren’t they afraid of the main sect’s Dao-protecting Real Person coming forward? The immortal Dao crowd was questioning this in their hearts, but they suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice they hadn’t heard before in mid-air.

“Well said! He who kills shall be killed. Since you failed to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, then one day, you will have to fight to the death again. It’s rare for you gentlemen to meet today, so why not take revenge for grievances and settle grudges for complaints. If there are no grudges or complaints, then follow your immortal Dao rules, show your divine powers and let the winner be king and the loser be a bandit, what do you think?”

They only heard his voice, but didn’t see his person. Raising their eyes to look at where the voice came from, they saw dark clouds rolling in the sky, and thunder faintly rumbling. Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning tore apart the Five Elements Dao Domain and the Heavenly Embroidery. With a magnificent dragon’s roar that spread throughout the Green Mountains and shook people’s hearts, a phantom Dharma Aspect of a black dragon, both real and illusory, suddenly rushed down from the high sky. This Great Dao creature circled in mid-air, its dark golden dragon eyes quietly looking over everyone, and finally entrenched itself in half of the sky, lowering its eyes to look down.

In front of that Dharma Aspect, a figure in gorgeous black robes landed on the eaves of the alchemy room. The young man looked at everyone with a smile: “It just so happens that I have come from the Dragon Realm and have nothing to do with your grievances. Today, I will just watch from the sidelines and be a witness for everyone. What do you gentlemen think?”

Not good.

Because there seemed to be someone standing on the condescending black dragon phantom.

A person in red, with a sword.

A person who, once seen, everyone would know who it was.

Ye Zhuo also didn’t think it was good.

Who was this dragon alluding to?

He just drew his sword.

Thunderous sword light stole all the brilliance from the world and slashed towards the empty mid-air in the distance.

A gray-clothed chaotic figure slowly emerged.

Ye Zhuo recalled the names of those main sect Real Persons he knew. There weren’t many left alive.

“Jade Tower?” Ye Zhuo’s voice also faintly echoed in mid-air.

It was like thunder, falling into the ears of everyone present.

“Is the Real Person not taking action because you are holding onto your status and unwilling to lower yourself?” Ye Zhuo said, “Your fellow disciples all died at my hands, come, avenge them.”
