Martial Arts Crossover: The Sweeping Monk of Wudang? That's our patriarch!

The Celestial Master was originally a top expert in the Shattered Void Realm, but because he did not cultivate his soul, he could not withstand the soul search and destruction. His consciousness had already collapsed, and he was like a cripple.

Lin Daochen flicked his finger, and a burst of energy shot out, ending his life.

Immediately, he took a step out and returned to reality from the space of the Chaos Dao Book.

"Master Dao Chen is back!"

The crowd gasped in surprise.

The six people had just vanished into thin air, leaving everyone bewildered. Just as they were filled with doubt, Lin Daochen suddenly appeared, his aura as deep as an abyss.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his sleeve.

Whoosh—!

The sound of pages turning suddenly rang out.

boom! boom! boom!

Five corpses fell from the void one after another, crashing to the ground and raising clouds of dust.

Xie Tiao and the other four were all killed without any chance of survival.

Just moments ago they were the ones dominating Lin Daochen, but in the blink of an eye, they became five cold, lifeless corpses.

The reversal was so dramatic that onlookers were collectively speechless, their minds momentarily blank.

At the same time, the Book of Chaos transformed into a stream of light, quietly returned to its place, and fell into Lin Daochen's palm.

"Junior brother," he said calmly to Zhang Sanfeng, "find a place to bury them."

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already soared into the air and returned directly to the Sutra Repository.

After he left, the scene suddenly erupted in chaos.

"What happened? Weren't they in complete control? How come they're all dead?"

"What happened with that disappearing scene just now? Where did it go?"

"What methods did Dao Chen Zhenren use?"

Doubts arose.

"It must be his magical artifact! These five people probably died inside that book!"

Some people suddenly realized.

Currently, there is a nationwide craze for cultivating immortality, and the concept of magical artifacts has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"I think so too."

"As expected, cultivation crushes martial arts! Even if you're weaker, you can still turn the tables with external aids!"

"You're wrong. Magical artifacts are an integral part of a cultivator's combat power."

"That's right, it's only natural for cultivators to use magical artifacts, just like martial artists wield swords."

"This is the true path to heaven!"

The crowd was indignant and engaged in heated discussions.

In the end, everyone dispersed, shocked and with the news in tow.

Although I didn't gain any immortal destiny, witnessing an earth-shattering battle made it all worthwhile.

They couldn't wait to spread the news throughout the world.

As word spread, this great battle once again shook the entire land.

Of course, this is a story.

Let's talk about the present situation first.

Just as the crowd of onlookers began to disperse,

the other side,

Zhang Sanfeng entrusted the funeral arrangements for Xie Tiao and the others to several disciples, and then quickly returned to the mountain gate with the rest of the Wudang disciples.

This battle shook the entire Wudang sect, sparking a surge in cultivation efforts as everyone raced against time, fearing to fall behind.

……

The next morning.

Lin Daochen summoned his spirit pet, the white crane, his gaze slightly narrowed.

He had already identified his target from the intelligence obtained through soul searching—the Kunlun Mountains—and he had to make the trip himself.

After the white crane advanced to the Qi Refining stage of demon beast, its speed increased dramatically, allowing it to ride the wind and swiftly traverse the sky.

In less than a day, it carried him to the summit of Kunlun Yuzhu Peak.

The moment they landed, a magnificent palace came into view, towering majestically as if it had fallen from the sky.

He went straight into the Reception Hall, and after a brief inspection, he walked directly into the central hall.

A glance swept across the area and fixed its gaze on the high platform—a round bead was constantly shimmering with a faint light, its aura subtle yet unsettling.

Lin Daochen sensed it slightly, and his expression changed drastically.

That bead actually contained the power of spatial laws!

He had some knowledge of the Dao of Space, otherwise his natal magic weapon, the "Book of Chaos Dao," would not have the ability to create spatial barriers.

However, what we know so far is only the tip of the iceberg.

For example, those spatial techniques might be able to catch the likes of Xie Tiao off guard, but they would be utterly useless against a truly powerful enemy.

However, the aura emanating from this bead is far beyond his reach.

In a flash, he made his decision—to take it.

With one step, he approached the high platform.

However, just when they were only a foot away—

Ripples spread across the void, and a transparent light curtain appeared out of thin air.

The runes moved and flowed endlessly, emitting a powerful repulsive force that forcefully kept him out.

"The protective restrictions of the temple." Lin Daochen's eyes turned cold, and he instantly understood.

They then attempted to break the formation.

failure.

This restriction is too high a level, far beyond what a Foundation Establishment cultivator can reach.

The facts are clear: this palace is by no means native to Kyushu, but most likely comes from an ancient civilization in a higher plane.

As for any further secrets? We have no way of knowing.

The memories of the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain are incomplete, and there are few clues.

But a warning sign was blaring in Lin Daochen's mind.

As an awakened being, burdened with memories of two lifetimes, he knew better than anyone else—

The sudden fall of the grand hall from the void, accompanied by spatial fluctuations, was no accident.

This palace may have been an outpost for advanced civilizations to reach Kyushu.

Its arrival coincided with the revival of spiritual energy and the advancement of the world.

Could it be... that the changes in Kyushu have alerted the outside world?

He remained silent for a long time before finally sitting cross-legged in front of the light screen.

What's done is done, there's no going back.

The only thing we can do right now is to become stronger.

This round bead contains the laws of space, making it an excellent opportunity for enlightenment.

He wanted to stay here, to understand its profound meaning, and to strive to break through the bottleneck.

At the same time, they will not give up studying the restriction itself—if one day they can find a way to break the spell and take the bead, they may be able to cut off the path to the arrival of a higher civilization.

With the situation in Kyushu still unclear, he has no intention of ascending to immortality, and he is even less willing to see powerful outsiders overwhelming him.

The ironclad rule of the cultivation world remains unchanged throughout history: the strong prey on the weak.

……

At the same time.

The Spirit Realm, the Cangxuan Dynasty.

Inside a vast, secret chamber stood a massive teleportation array.

This is a cross-world passage connecting the Cangxuan Dynasty with its subordinate smaller worlds.

At the front lines, Taishu Min stared intently at a young man, his voice low and deep: "Taishu Yue, you are not to act rashly during this journey across the Nine Provinces. You only need to ascertain the situation and report back immediately. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The young man solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Rest assured, young master, I will strictly follow your orders and will never act recklessly!"

Taishu Min nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Very good, let's set off."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishu Yue stepped onto the battle platform.

The person in charge of the formation immediately activated the incantation.

Light flashed, and space distorted.

The next moment—

In the world of Kyushu, a certain void trembled slightly, as if some strange movement was about to occur.

Deep within the Jieyin Hall of Yuzhu Peak in the Kunlun Mountains.

Inside the central hall, just as Lin Daochen sat down cross-legged, the round bead floating in the center of the hall suddenly burst out with dazzling light. A beam of light shot straight into the hall, tearing through the void and condensing into a light gate with flowing runes.

In an instant, all the runes in the entire Reception Hall awakened, and spiritual power poured into the frame of the light gate like a tidal wave. The light gate hummed and trembled, and its light surged, as if tearing open a crack in the heavens and earth.

Lin Daochen's pupils contracted, and he suddenly stood up. His spiritual power surged like a river, and he secretly formed a magic seal in his palm, ready to unleash his power.

At that very moment—

A person stepped out into the light, walking with ease.

The portal vanished immediately, as if it had never been opened.

"Huh? Someone's here?"

The newcomer's gaze swept over Lin Daochen, landing on him with a tone full of surprise.

"Who are you? A native of this Nine Provinces?"

The voice was arrogant and condescending.

"I am Lin Daochen, born in the Nine Provinces. And who are you, sir?" he replied calmly, his expression unchanging.

"I am Taishu Yue, from the Taishu family of the Cangxuan Dynasty in the Spirit Realm."

The man stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed in disdain: "You're lucky. I'm new to this world and need someone to guide me. I'll give you that opportunity; from now on, you'll be my servant, at my beck and call."

In his eyes, it was already a great fortune for an ant from a lower world to serve the Taishu family like a dog or a horse.

"A servant?" Lin Daochen's eyes turned slightly cold, but his face remained calm. "What brings you here?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Taishu Yue said coldly. "Lead the way obediently and stop talking nonsense."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed in Lin Daochen's eyes, and he instantly formed a magic seal with his fingertips, revealing a murderous intent!

No need for further explanation—this man speaks arrogantly, his intentions are malicious, and he clearly comes to conquer the entire land! Strike first, or suffer the consequences!

boom--!

A bolt of lightning exploded from the void, carrying immense force, and struck Taishu Yue directly!

"presumptuous!"

Caught off guard, Tai Shuyue was startled and almost froze. A cultivator from the lower realm dared to launch a sneak attack?

At the critical moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a small, earthen-yellow shield. Driven by his spiritual power, it instantly expanded into a wall, standing in front of him.

boom!!!

The thunder struck, its deafening roar echoing through the air!

Click—!

The cracks on the shield spread, and it shattered instantly, falling to the ground as two halves of the fragments.

Ta-da!

Taishu Yue staggered back several steps, his blood surging, his face ashen.

"You're courting death! How dare you attack me? Do you really think you're worthy to be my enemy?!"

He sneered in fury, but the next moment, his expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Wait... you're also in the late Foundation Establishment stage?! Impossible! How could there be such a cultivator in this Nine Provinces Realm?!"

His gaze was fixed on Lin Daochen, his face filled with disbelief.

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could clearly sense the other party's cultivation level.

According to Taishu Min's deduction, the spiritual energy in the Nine Provinces Realm is depleted, with the limit being no more than the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. That's why he, a late-stage powerhouse, was specially sent to oversee the situation.

Unexpectedly, I actually encountered someone of the same level!

On the other side, Lin Daochen had also ascertained the opponent's presence.

"Late stage of Foundation Establishment..." He felt a chill in his heart, his fighting spirit rising, but he dared not slacken in the slightest.

In a battle between people of the same realm, the opponent, who comes from the spirit realm, possesses profound knowledge and exquisite magical treasures, and is by no means an easy opponent.

boom--!

Without another word, he drew the Heavenly Prison Sword, its blade flashing, and thunderous sword energy tore through the air, transforming into a violent lightning bolt that slashed straight down!

"Hmph! They're courting death!"

Taishu Yue snorted coldly, clenched his right hand, and a long sword appeared, surrounded by spiritual light.

With a flick of the wrist, thousands of sword shadows whistled out, meeting the thunderous sword energy with clanging sounds and sparks flying everywhere!

At the same time, he raised his left hand—

A giant golden net rose into the air, covering the sky and the earth like the heavens pressing down, directly enveloping Lin Daochen's head!

The net-like body was covered with pulsating runes and surging spiritual pressure, clearly indicating that it was another high-grade magic artifact!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Daochen took a step, a flash of lightning, and disappeared from the spot!

Boom—!

The golden net landed, its residual force rippled, and the ground cracked.

In the air, the two sword energies collided and exploded with a deafening roar, annihilating each other.

As the golden net was retracted, Taishu Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Cultivators with the Thunder Spirit Root are renowned for their combat prowess, practically invincible among their peers. Yet, this Lin Daochen before them is even more troublesome than the rumors suggest.

Seeing the opponent's sword intent rise again, Taishu Yue immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Wait!"

Why did you ambush me? I have no grudge against you, why must we fight?

He was completely baffled—this person had appeared out of nowhere and attacked without saying a word; it was utterly inexplicable.

"It is of no use for a dying person to know too much."

Lin Daochen spoke indifferently, flicked his sleeve, and five spiritual swords shot out from the sky. The five elements rotated and instantly formed the [Heaven-Sealing Sword Formation], its cold light pointing directly at Taishu Yue's throat.

"Arrogant!" Taishu Yue sneered. "Fine, I won't say anything more. I'll capture you and search your soul!"

He drew his longsword, its spiritual light surging, and charged forward defiantly. Though a member of a collateral branch of the Taishu family of the Cangxuan Dynasty, his status was low, but his inherent arrogance remained undiminished. How dare these mere natives of the Nine Provinces be so insolent before him?

The two unleashed a barrage of deadly moves, their spiritual energy exploding like thunder and fire clashing.
