My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 195 Zhou Ping's Overpowering Abilities

The conflict between Canglan Mountain and Jiaolong Valley caused quite a stir in the Chixia Mountain Range. Almost immediately after Qingjiao Shangren and Bailang Jushi of Jiaolong Valley set off, many large and small forces in the Chixia Mountain Range received the news and sent cultivators to investigate.

However, more than 90% of the forces do not have a good outlook on Canglan Mountain, believing that Canglan Mountain will soon be destroyed by Jiaolong Valley, just like other Nascent Soul forces.

Even so, no cultivator from either the righteous or demonic path stepped forward to offer their resources.

no way.

The Crimson Cloud Mountain Range itself is a chaotic place for cultivation. Previously, there were rules between the Crimson Bright Mountain and the Demon Lake sects, but now it is completely disorganized, with everyone fighting their own battles.

Hu Yudie arrived at Bamboo Fragrance Peak.

This spiritual peak, not far from the main peak, is the spiritual vein cave of Deacon Xue Dier. She has such a status entirely because of her own abilities and the sect leader's trust. The spiritual peaks of other Golden Core deacons and elders are all far from the main peak.

"Yu Die greets Steward Xue."

Looking at Hu Yudie without her veil, Xue Dier couldn't help but take a few more glances at the other's devastatingly beautiful face. To be honest, even she herself felt a little jealous and envious. If she had such a face, she would also become the sect leader's wife or concubine and receive the sect leader's favor.

pity.

Although cultivators can use techniques to preserve their youth and change their skin color, their appearance is something they are born with. No matter how they try to change their appearance, it will be useless in front of powerful cultivators.

Therefore, a face like Hu Yudie's, which is naturally so beautiful that it could bring ruin to a country, is extremely rare in the entire Chixia Mountain Range.

"What brings you here?"

After calming herself down, Xue Dier asked.

Hu Yudie bit her lip and said softly, "Steward Xue, I wonder if the Sect Master has the time? I would like to request an audience with the Sect Master."

Deacon Xue smiled charmingly. How could she not know what Hu Yudie was thinking? "You've come here because of the Azure Dragon Master and the White Wolf Hermit of Jiaolong Valley, haven't you?"

Hu Yudie's expression changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Yes, Yudie knows that her cultivation is low and that apart from this appearance, she has nothing to offer. Therefore, she hopes that Deacon Xue can make an introduction for her!"

A mocking smile appeared on Deacon Xue's rosy lips. When she made the suggestion before, Hu Yudie had been reluctant and made excuses. Now, however, she was taking the initiative to become the sect leader's concubine. It seems that when faced with a life-or-death crisis, a woman really has no choice.

"The sect leader is out, so don't worry. Since I said I would take you to see the sect leader, I will keep my promise. After all, your face, which is so beautiful it could bring ruin to the country, is quite charming. Under heaven, only the sect leader is qualified to enjoy it."

"However, let me make this clear from the start: if you continue to act arrogantly and anger the sect leader, then don't blame Canglan Mountain for not tolerating you."

Listen to the coldness in Xue Dier's tone.

Hu Yudie was filled with sorrow, but she still said, "Yes, Yudie is ready to sacrifice herself."

"Okay, go back and wait!"

Hu Yudie didn't leave, but hesitated before continuing, "Steward Xue, both Qingjiao Shangren and Bailang Jushi are powerful cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. I wonder about the Sect Master..."

Xue Dier interrupted, "You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

"Yes!"

……

Zhou Ping is indeed not in Canglan Mountain.

At this moment, he was traveling with several Nascent Soul level elders in a Fire Phoenix Carriage to the Rong family in the Crimson Cloud Mountains. In fact, using a flying magic weapon would have been faster, but the elders all suggested using the Fire Phoenix Carriage to demonstrate their status and position.

Think about it carefully.

Zhou Ping agreed.

After all, he is now the sect leader of the New Han Sect of Canglan Mountain, a powerful force with many Nascent Soul cultivators, and can no longer act alone as before.

Moreover.

The purpose of this visit to the Rong family is to demonstrate their strength and intimidate the various forces in the Crimson Cloud Mountains.

Its prestige and influence naturally need to be enhanced.

Boo!
The cry of the fire phoenix resounded through the sky.

The patrol teams within the Rong family's territory quickly discovered the situation and immediately sent a message to the clan.

"metropolitan."

"The Rong and Yan families of the Crimson Cloud Mountains are extremely powerful Nascent Soul families, especially the Rong family. Their ancestors included Nascent Soul Realm experts, making them very ancient and with a deep foundation. It is said that the family has a family formation set up at the Nascent Soul Realm level, which would be difficult to shake even if attacked by a Nascent Soul Realm expert..."

The man speaking beside him was Elder Tianhuo, who later joined the Canglan Sect. He was also skilled in fire techniques, but after witnessing Zhou Ping's prowess, he chose to submit.

Sitting in the carriage, sipping spiritual tea, Zhou Ping said with a faint smile, "It is precisely because of this kind of background that the Rong family dares to go against my Canglan Mountain. You say it's just a spiritual stone mine, since it was discovered by my Canglan Mountain first, it should rightfully belong to my Canglan Mountain. They can't just take it by force because of their family's background."

Elder Tianhuo hurriedly said, "The sect leader is right. The Rong family is used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly, just like the Jiaolong Valley."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "No rush. Let's deal with the Rong family first, and then we'll deal with Jiaolong Valley later. This time, I, the sect master, have come out of seclusion, so I have to settle some matters."

The Heavenly Fire Elder and the several Nascent Soul cultivators accompanying him secretly pondered what trump cards this mysterious sect master had that made him dare to say such things. Although the other party was only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul Realm, he was not actually at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Both Jiaolong Valley and the Rong family possess trump cards at the Nascent Soul Realm level.

Boom boom boom.

The two were talking.

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation of energy in the air ahead, and then it was as if space itself had cracked open, revealing figures of cultivators exuding powerful auras.

The leader was dressed in a white robe and wore a bronze mask, revealing only his cold eyes. The auras of the other cultivators were all at the Nascent Soul stage.

Elder Tianhuo immediately said, "This person is the Rong family's Great Elder, known as the Mountain Rock Hermit. He cultivates the Giant Spirit Demon Art, which allows him to transform into a mountain spirit god. He is extremely powerful, and even ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for him!"

Zhou Ping's eyes lit up slightly, showing interest. "Not bad, this sect master would like to meet him."

When he emerged from seclusion this time, his cultivation level was comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm. However, due to his long period of seclusion and relatively short cultivation time, he did not possess any particularly powerful techniques other than the Samadhi True Fire, Crimson Ice Blue Flame, and the near-immortal-level magic treasure, the Eight Treasures Seven-Colored Fan.

Now it's time to fight and battle with these family cultivators.

Wow.

The curtains of the carriage opened automatically.

Zhou Ping's figure floated out. He was wearing a purple-yellow round-necked robe with stars on his head, a jade crown on his head, and a handsome and resolute face. His eyes were bright and piercing. Even though he was suppressing his aura, he still had a strong sense of pressure.

And saw Zhou Ping.

The leader, a hermit in a white robe and bronze mask, said calmly, "You are the newly risen sect master of Canglan Mountain. It is said that the one from Canglan Mountain was killed by you with a casual gesture. To be able to kill a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, your strength is truly admirable!"

"This is Rong family territory. May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just came out of seclusion and was itching to have a match, so I thought I'd find someone of the same level to spar with. Fellow Daoist Shanyan, would you be willing to exchange a few blows with this sect master?"

The hermit of the mountain cliffs narrowed his eyes. "Of course!"

The words fell.

The magical energy of the two exploded instantly.

The Fiery Phoenix Chariot and many Nascent Soul cultivators were all shaken apart. Sensing Zhou Ping's powerful magic, the Hermit of Mountain Rocks' expression changed slightly. He thought to himself, "What a strong cultivation aura! It's almost as strong as the Primordial Spirit Realm." At that moment, he immediately knew that he had encountered a truly powerful cultivator.

But since they had already started, there was no point in saying anything else. So, a seal platform quickly floated around Shan Yan Sanren. The seal platform was carved with the character "mountain". As soon as it appeared, it looked like a mountain peak and crashed heavily towards Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping reacted extremely quickly, and eight sword-shaped magical treasures rapidly condensed in front of him. Each sword was forged from lava and burned with flames. This was an eight-sword formation that he had condensed by combining his own flames with other magical treasures.

It has ample national fortune.

Over the years, his skills in talismanic arts, alchemy, formations, and puppetry have long been elevated to the fifth level. The reason he hasn't reached the sixth level, the Void Returning level, is mainly because the Taiyan Sect's spaceships do not have methods for this level.

This is not the fault of the Taiyan Sect, because once you reach the fifth level, you need to explore and improve on your own. Even if there are other methods, they can only be used as a reference.

boom! !

The mountain-like stone seal crashed into the Eight Gates Sword Formation, and a muffled, thunderous sound exploded. The stone seal was instantly thrown back by the shock, and the Eight Gates Sword Formation was also smashed apart.

Zhou Ping and Shan Yan Sanren were both sent flying backwards at the same time.

"What a heavy magic weapon!"

He steadied himself and looked at the hermit of the mountain rocks in the distance. He was secretly shocked. His magic power was profound and no weaker than that of the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. His Eight Gates Sword Formation had even incorporated a fifth-level formation, but it was all smashed open by the opponent's fierce attack.

As expected of a powerful late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!
The hermit of the mountain rocks was even more shocked. His stone seal was made of the essence of earth and mixed with extremely rare five-colored soil. A single strike from it was heavier than the impact of a mountain peak, and just controlling it required a lot of magical power.

Unexpectedly, the opponent blocked this swift attack.

Come again!

Give a low drink.

The stone seal spun rapidly, and at the same time, the Hermit of the Mountain Rock rushed over in the blink of an eye. This time, he used his magic power to transform into a stone handle and used the stone seal as a stone hammer to smash it heavily towards Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping's Eight Gates Sword Formation was even more powerful, with a more intense flame. Their initial attacks were merely tests, but this time they truly unleashed their full strength.

A terrifying aura swept across the surroundings.

The air itself was filled with layers of energy aftershocks, and the Nascent Soul cultivators watching from afar all changed their expressions drastically, quickly using their magical artifacts to resist these aftershocks.

"too strong!"

"This is a battle between late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators!"

"It's absolutely devastating!"

Most of those present were at the mid or early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, but even if they fought, it wouldn't produce a world-destroying commotion. Within a hundred miles of the battle, no one dared to set foot there.

"Haha, so happy!"

A moment passes.

Zhou Ping laughed loudly. The eight sword-shaped magic treasure formation he had condensed became increasingly solid. Even when Shan Yan Sanren used his full strength to hammer the stone seal magic treasure, he could not shake it in the slightest.

In the midst of the fierce battles, he quickly learned about the drawbacks and flaws of the Eight Gates Sword Formation he had condensed. So he improved it as he fought, after all, he was already a fifth-level formation master, with a commanding view, and all he lacked was experience.

"hateful!"

"They actually used me as their whetstone!"

How could Shan Yan Sanren not see through the Canglan Mountain Sect Master's plan? They were both at the late Nascent Soul stage, and even if the other party's aura was stronger, he should still take him seriously. But he used this method, which was an insult to him.

After all, they are the stronger party; how could they tolerate such behavior?

Anger surged within him.

Shan Yan Sanren no longer relied solely on magical artifacts and Nascent Soul techniques in his battles. He directly unleashed his Giant Spirit Demon Art, and in an instant, his body rapidly expanded under the enhancement of his magical power and demonic arts, quickly growing into a giant hundreds of feet tall.

In addition, the stone seal magic weapon in his hand was replaced with a towering giant hammer.

"Die!"

The giant, hundreds of feet tall, raised his massive hammer and slammed it down.

Suddenly.

The space itself seemed to vibrate slightly.

Zhou Ping found himself as if he were locked on, making it difficult to dodge. The surrounding space became incredibly solid, like an extremely condensed air pressure.

Chi Chi.

Eight sword-shaped magical artifacts quickly converged to form an eight-gate shield array, blocking in front of him.

Bang.

The giant hammer slammed heavily onto the Eight Gates Sword Shield, shattering it in a single blow. The eight sword-shaped magical treasures bounced off, their magical power and divine sense unable to contain them as they flew out in all directions. Zhou Ping's body was also sent flying thousands of meters away by an incredibly powerful impact.

Fortunately, his physical body was already very strong, and when faced with this impact, his internal magic power and blood energy only fluctuated slightly.

"Wow, that's really impressive!"

He showed no fear on his face, but rather a great sense of satisfaction. Apart from the Holy Son of the Star River Sect, the Great Elder of the Rong family, Shan Yan Sanren, was a master at the Nascent Soul level, though he was only a master.

"Eight Gates Sword Formation, Condense!"

Stabilize your suspended body.

With a flick of his sleeve, the eight scattered sword-shaped magical artifacts quickly converged and reformed into the Eight Gates Sword Formation. This time, however, the flames burning within the Eight Gates Sword Formation were even more intense. "Haha, since you're getting serious, it would be too disrespectful of me if I didn't show some skill!"

"Eight Gates Sword Flame, go!"

As the magical power surged.

The eight sword-shaped magical artifacts burning with flames instantly transformed into eight fire dragons, but these fire dragons were more like sword dragons, rushing towards the hundred-foot-tall giant in front of them at an extremely fast speed.

Shan Yan Sanren snorted and, facing the eight sword flames, swept his giant hammer across. The energy wave generated by the immense power shattered the earth, but the eight sword flames were completely unaffected and crashed directly into the sweeping giant hammer.

Clang clang clang.

A crisp metallic sound rang out, and the sword fire directly adhered to the giant hammer, spreading along the hundred-foot-tall giant's magical hammer artifact towards his body at a visible speed.

"Destroy it!"

The Hermit of the Mountain Rocks was unconcerned. His demonic powers surged, and his body emitted layers of demonic light, attempting to extinguish the flames with his demonic powers. Unfortunately, he underestimated the flames. No matter how intense the demonic light was, it could not extinguish the flames.

The flames were about to spread to his arm.

The giant, who was hundreds of feet tall, suddenly changed his expression and quickly threw away the giant hammer in his hand. But as soon as the giant hammer was thrown away, the flames attached to it turned into eight sword flames, which rushed towards the giant with a whoosh.

"What kind of fire technique is this?!"

Shan Yan Sanren was now in a difficult situation. The flames were impossible to extinguish and extremely dangerous. If he tried to withstand them with his own body, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on. Helpless, he could only quickly shrink his body back to its original form and activate his other magical treasures to defend himself.
