Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 770 Devastated
The sky is cloudless and the warm sun is shining.

The golden light illuminated the fairy palace, creating a misty halo.

Wu Yunshan gazed into the distance, and his heart became even more heated.

Even if we put everything aside, now that the Immortal Palace is in front of him, he will not lie dormant any longer!
"Chen Mu!"

He suddenly shouted, "How can I tolerate your humiliating me like this?"

The sound was like thunder and could be heard hundreds of miles away in an instant.

Everyone present had a high level of cultivation, so a mere distance of a hundred miles would naturally not escape their perception.

Seeing that Wu Yunshan seemed to be about to take action, he couldn't help but perk up and look intently between the two of them.

One was the former leader of this generation, and the other was the Taoist Wu who displayed his might yesterday. They knew without even thinking that this battle would shock the world and make ghosts and gods weep.

After decades, they still couldn't predict who would win or lose until the very last moment...

"Fellow Daoist Li, who do you think has a better chance of winning?" Wei Mingde asked curiously.

Li Jianyi's eyes were sharp as he whispered back, "Wu Yunshan has indeed made considerable progress. If he were to rank himself, he would at least be ranked in the top eight among the twenty-seven meridians."

"However, he is still inferior to Chen Mu. In my opinion, this is the result of a hard-fought battle."

Fairy Yaoguang was paying attention to this. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Isn't Brother Li Daoist being too conservative? Do you really have no confidence in Brother Chen Daoist?"

Li Jian smiled without saying anything. It was not that he had no confidence in Chen Mu, but he found that he could not see through this person.

The sword-killing method he practiced advocated showing off one's sharp edge, making the enemy intimidated before the fight even began.

In the past, Chen Mu's approach was somewhat similar to the one he advocated, which was to gain momentum before fighting.

But now he has clearly made a breakthrough, and his aura is not as oppressive as before. That's why he doesn't dare to jump to conclusions, for fear of making a fool of himself.

"Is it a return to simplicity, or is it a slackness..."

He looked at Chen Mu from afar and couldn't help but ponder.

Just as everyone was guessing, Wu Yunshan shouted loudly and raised his hand, and saw balls of red flames rising from behind him, shining brightly like the rising sun, casting gorgeous red clouds, and wherever they passed, there was a sound of burning heat.

At the same time, he kept moving, stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and summoned a mountain that covered the sky, wrapped in the sound of wind and thunder, and went to suppress Chen Mu!

Then he changed his movements again, took a deep breath, took out a jade cauldron as small as a teacup from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and shook it in front of him.

In an instant, clear light rose into the sky, and hundreds of sharp blades flew out from inside, the sharp edge they carried cut through the sky, and was even more powerful than the sword cultivators' methods.

In an instant, all the spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred miles was stirred up by his vast magical power!

No matter how bold his words were before, Wu Yunshan still felt unsure after actually facing Chen Mu.

Therefore, he used his strongest attack, intending not to give Chen Mu a chance to react.

It has to be said that his idea was indeed correct. If it were someone with the same strength as him, seeing the three methods being used at the same time, he would definitely be panicked and lose his composure.

And in a battle method at this level, any mistake could lead to a big mistake...

"The mountain fuels the fire, and the sharp blade soars through the air. It's like a chain of events, interconnected and impossible to dodge. If Fellow Daoist Wei were in this dangerous situation, how would he break it?"

Li Jianyi suddenly became interested.

Wei Mingde groaned and said proudly, "I'll break it with one punch."

"Oh?"

Li Jian nodded and smiled. After all, a fourth-level power cultivator was different from them. If it were him, he would first use the technique of locking heaven and earth, and then stand up with the sword in hand, breaking out of the encirclement before the three techniques could combine. Only in this way would he have a chance of winning.

But this is his own method, and others cannot do it.

His eyes flickered as he looked towards the distant figure with great anticipation...

Chen Mu stood high in the sky, his sleeves fluttering, looking down.

Ever since he achieved the ninth level of Nascent Soul, his magical powers have been so profound that no one of his peers can match him, and few opponents dare to confront him head-on.

This time, Wu Yunshan took the initiative to provoke it, which was exactly what he wanted.

"You have been practicing hard for decades, and so have I."

As soon as the thought arose in his mind, the world suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence.

The mountain, fire, and sharp flying knives were still approaching at a high speed, but silently. Instead, the waves below were surging, and the sound of the tide became clearer and clearer.

Outside the Immortal Palace, just as everyone began to doubt, a deafening roar was heard in their ears. When they came to their senses, they saw that the vast sea had suddenly raised waves of tens of thousands of feet high, stretching across both ends, with no end in sight.

The sound of the waves at this time was so loud and shaking that it was like the collapse of the sky.

Feeling the boat swaying in the wind and rain beneath their feet, everyone was amazed and couldn't help but look towards Chen Mu in the distance. Seeing that he still hadn't moved, they couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that a senior from the Dragon Palace has come here?"

It is no wonder that they thought so, because they had only seen such a terrifying celestial phenomenon in the hands of the Water Dragon Clan.

Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and the Nascent Soul in his body finally activated his spiritual power. The rolling spiritual tide was torn into pieces and turned into a huge river that had existed for thousands of years. It flowed into the sea with great power, and surged into endless waves, rolling away like the Milky Way.

This was the first time he had used the "Lingshu Qingyuan Zhenshui" with all his strength since he had practiced the "Taisu Wuxiang Yuqing Jue"...

The huge mountain bore the brunt of the impact. As majestic as it was, it was swallowed up silently by the waves thousands of feet high.

It was like a huge rock sinking to the bottom of a pool. Apart from a few ripples, there was no trace of its existence.

Wu Yunshan's Taoist magic was broken and his face turned pale. But before he could react, the fire magic he had placed high hopes on followed suit, and was even inferior to the mountain magic. The fire was silenced and forced to dissipate in an instant.

The scene before my eyes was enough to be called a crushing blow...

"How can it be……"

Wu Yunshan's eyes were wide open, and he still looked incredulous.

His dual mountain and fire techniques have grasped the essence of the great Dao!

How could it be broken so easily?

Looking at the vast expanse of real water surging before him, he forced himself to suppress the mixed thoughts in his mind, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He hasn't lost yet!
He reached into his bag and had to take out the jade cauldron again. He first held it tightly in his palm, then stroked it gently, his eyes full of reluctance to part with it.

This is a special spiritual treasure. It can not only store the sharpness of swords and knives to fight against enemies, but also stimulate inspiration to assist in spiritual practice. It has endless uses.

It can be said that this treasure played an indispensable role in his rapid progress in the past thirty or forty years.

But the situation is critical now, and no matter how precious this treasure is, it has to be discarded.

Wu Yunshan gritted his teeth secretly and pointed at the jade cauldron with ruthless determination. As soon as he touched it, a barely perceptible whine came from it.

But he ignored it, turned his wrist and threw the object away.

When it reached the crest of the waves, the jade cauldron seemed unable to bear the weight. Fine cracks appeared on its surface. After a few crackling sounds, the whole thing burst apart!
The room was filled with the reserved sharpness of swords and knives, which were suddenly released without restraint.

In just a moment, within a radius of dozens of miles, swords and knives were everywhere, like a torrent facing the huge waves.

The self-destructive power of the spiritual treasure naturally far exceeded the Taoist magic used by Wu Yunshan. The "Lingshu Qingyuan Zhenshui" that was advancing forward could not help but pause, and slowed down as if it had lost its stamina.

Seeing this, Wu Yunshan's face lit up with joy, and he was about to use this opportunity to cast a spell again.

But before he could activate his magic power, he saw a flash of water around Chen Mu, and an astonishing Taoist aura rose out of thin air.

"Boom!" The waves were surging, as if with the help of God, the torrent of swords and knives fell into the water with a "clang, dang, dang" sound, and no longer had the momentum to attack.

Wu Yunshan had originally hoped to achieve success in one fell swoop, but when he saw this scene, he was shocked.

Furthermore, he had already been injured by the destruction of his Dao magic, and now he was horrified to find that his magic power was like a pool of stagnant water. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it even a little bit...

"How...how could it be like this..."

At this point, he still didn't know that he had already lost.

And they were defeated completely...

He used all his tricks and tried to suppress Chen Mu with a tough attitude, but in the end, Chen Mu responded with just one method, breaking all his tricks, and even the self-destruction of the magic treasure could not stop him.

"Why has it come to this...? Clearly, during the sword fight, he needed several tricks to defeat me."

"How come after so many decades, I can't even block one of his attacks..."

Wu Yunshan's faith in Taoism was almost broken, and he talked to himself for a while.

Yaoguang and others outside the Immortal Palace were not in a much better situation either.

Everyone looked at Chen Mu in shock, silently thinking, if they were facing that amazing water technique...

I'm afraid the result will not change.

"Why is it that his water technique, though clearly not yet perfect, is so powerful?"

"Could it be that there really is a Son of the Great Dao in this world? Otherwise, how could he have such a heaven-defying appearance?

"Brother Chen Dao's strength is probably on par with Brother Wei Chu and the others..."

Defeating the enemy at once showed that Chen Mu's strength was already a level higher than Wu Yunshan's.

Who would have thought that in just thirty or forty years, Chen Mu would be able to reach such a level.

They had thought he had accumulated a lot of experience to win the championship, but now, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly and wondered, "Why has he been accumulating a lot of experience for a long time?"

High in the sky, Chen Mu stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene expressionlessly.

Huge waves were surging beneath my feet, but there was no sign of them continuing to roll away.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, do you admit defeat?"

Wu Yunshan is, after all, a descendant of the Danyang Wu family. He would not really kill this man unless it was necessary.

Wu Yunshan's body suddenly shook, and he looked up subconsciously. After seeing Chen Mu's eyes, a sense of fear rose involuntarily in his heart.

He opened his mouth to speak, but found he didn't know what to say. After a while, his energy seemed to be drained away, and his body suddenly relaxed. He lowered his head and whispered, "I lost..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't know why they were so nervous...

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He waved his sleeves, and there was a loud bang. The water light surged and rolled upwards, taking in the swirling spiritual energy and returning the sky to clarity.

Then he stepped down from the clouds and returned to the front of the fairy palace in a breath.

Looking at the fellow Zhongzhou people who gathered around him, Wu Yunshan felt a pang in his heart again.

Speaking of which, until now, he still has the opportunity to enter the Immortal Palace to seek opportunities.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If he asks to exchange tokens with Donghai Zhenren, there will always be someone who wants to climb up the Danyang Wu family's ladder and offer the tokens to him.

But at this time, Wu Yunshan looked dejected and had no fighting spirit left.

After taking a deep look at Chen Mu, he turned around silently and disappeared. In a moment, his figure disappeared from the place...

"Brother Chen Dao really opened my eyes."

Li Jianyi and others sighed with emotion, but their expressions were quite sincere.

This is the case for everyone in the world. If Chen Mu were only slightly better than them, they would frown and be displeased, or even resist him in every possible way.

But once it reaches another level, they will feel admiration and strive to make friends.

Chen Mu smiled faintly, responded calmly for a few words, then bowed and walked in front of the group from Huanyue Palace.

Li Jianyi and the others did not pursue them relentlessly. Now that the magic array has dissipated and the token is in hand, what could be more amazing than the fortune of the Immortal Palace before them?

"My fellow Taoists, I'll go ahead!"

Wei Mingde laughed out loud and was the first to raise the token and leave.

The others were not willing to be outdone, and they all turned into jade-colored streams of light and flew into the fairy palace.

"master!"

Han Kong bowed his head with a look of respect, his eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.

Chen Mu nodded at him and started talking about business with Liu Tingnan and others.

"Will Fellow Daoist Chonggu go in later?"

After hearing this, Chonggu and the other two were both trembling in their hearts. Liu Tingnan couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I think so because..."

She was still thinking about explaining, but Chen Mu had already reached out to stop her.

"No need to explain. Fellow Daoist Chonggu is at a higher level and is more suitable for you."

Taoist Chonggu heaved a sigh of relief, a look of shame on his face. "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan, I...I will do my best to remember your instructions."

Chen Mu smiled slightly and nodded, "What I'm worried about is not this, but the actions of the demon cultivator this time."

"Demon cultivator?"

Liu Tingnan was a bystander who could see things clearly. Hearing this, he said thoughtfully, "The demon cultivators stopped Master and the others from entering the palace, and then left behind so many Immortal Palace tokens. This is indeed suspicious."

Chen Mu whispered, "It's good that you can see the suspicion here. After we enter the palace, we will be free to decide the affairs inside, but you will be responsible for the outside world."

"If something unexpected happens, you can quickly go to Zhongzhou for help. With so many descendants of Taoist sects here, they will definitely come."

Liu Tingnan took a deep breath and immediately nodded in agreement: "I'll remember that."

Seeing her serious look, Chen Mu smiled and said, "But there's no need to worry too much. I've also heard about the Demonic Heaven Alliance. No matter how they plot, they wouldn't dare to kill us right now. I'm only telling you this just in case."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Qi again, then took out the Fairy Palace Token and used his magic power to cast it.

After just a few breaths, a lustrous jade light showered down, enveloping his body and transforming it into a stream of light, before it suddenly flew away...

After Taoist Chonggu also went in, Liu Tingnan's expression became serious, and he returned to the boat with Xiaoqi and Han Kong.

At the same time, a hidden light came from afar and slowly approached the Immortal Palace.

Surprisingly, there were Nascent Soul cultivators outside the Immortal Palace at this time, but no one noticed the fluctuations of the escaping light.

It was not until the figure in the escaping light raised the token and turned into a stream of light and entered the Immortal Palace that they noticed something and looked at the entrance of the Immortal Palace in surprise.

But at this moment, at the entrance, there was no other fluctuation at all.
Only a faint voice remained, as if mumbling to itself: "The improvement is so great, it seems that we need to change our approach..."

It was just the howling of the wind that instantly blew away the sound...
