Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

"A nineteen-year-old executive elder of the Cao Gang?"

"Is a martial arts master standing behind him?"

"Does he have thousands of gunmen under his command?"

"He wielded absolute power in both the legitimate and criminal worlds of Shanghai, earning him the title of 'King of Shanghai'?"

"My God, isn't this...isn't this a warlord who combines the roles of a tycoon and a military leader?"

"How could someone like this come all alone to our Wudang Mountain?"

"..."

The telegram in Xuanxiaozi's hand contained a lot of information, but each one was enough to shock Taiyuan and the others.

Nowadays, they are not afraid of any martial arts masters or experts in any cultivation system.

What they fear now are warlords and financial magnates; those are the ones who truly devour people without spitting out the bones.

Admittedly, a few of them could ignore firearms, but how could all the hundreds of disciples of Wudang Mountain be like them?

Their Wudang Mountain family is large and powerful, and their main base is here. They cannot abandon the foundation laid by their ancestors. If they really provoke the warlords, hundreds of guns and several cannons will be set up here, which will be like roasting them alive!

Jiang Wangzu was such a young and promising warlord!

Although he doesn't have that many men under him yet.

But he is still the executive elder of the Cao Gang, which is now a large gang with 100,000 members!

Such a background is truly chilling!

"Ugh!"

"Times have truly changed!"

"Fine, let them be."

"As long as the foundation laid by our founders remains, and the legacy of Wudang endures, that's enough!"

"I'm tired, I'm leaving now!"

Taiyuan left with a dejected expression.

"What a turbulent time!"

Taiyu shook his head, got up, and left.

"These past two days, my junior disciple Yuanming and I have worked together to set up a lightning-attracting array to help this layman Jiang and Miss Pei."

"But if the lightning they attract is too violent, and the two of them can't withstand it and die in the Golden Hall, then it can only be said that they are unlucky, and we, Wudang Mountain, are to blame!"

Xuan Yuan, Xuan Xiaozi's senior brother, gave Xuan Xiaozi a meaningful look and said something.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

"I will lend my senior brother a hand when the time comes. We should just do our best and leave the rest to fate. There's no need to be too deliberate."

"Otherwise, it will eventually bring disaster!"

Xuanxiaozi nodded upon hearing this and expressed his opinion.

"That's natural."

Xuan Yuan nodded.

Three days later.

Wudang Mountain.

Tianzhu Peak

In front of the Golden Palace.

Dark clouds filled the sky, followed by a strong wind and a pattering rain.

"Please invite the two lay Buddhists into the Golden Hall. My senior brother, disciple, and I will activate the lightning-attracting array."

"If either of you cannot withstand the pressure, please inform us immediately, and we will withdraw the formation at once!"

Xuanxiaozi spoke up.

"Thank you for your trouble, Taoist priest!"

Jiang Wangzu bowed to Xuanxiaozi, then walked into the Golden Hall side by side with Pei Zhenzhu.

Upon seeing this, Xuanxiaozi and the other two immediately left the Golden Hall and remotely controlled the lightning-summoning formation.

Rumble!

The clouds above the Golden Palace collided with each other, and lightning flashed and thunder roared for a moment.

Pei Zhenzhu, with a thought in her heart in the Golden Palace, used her supreme power to alter the celestial phenomena, causing the dark clouds in the sky to become even denser.

Boom boom boom!

Bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck the golden palace, instantly transforming into massive fireballs that covered the top of the palace in flames.

Inside the Golden Hall, electric arcs and lightning crackled in the air, instantly tearing Jiang Wangzu's skin apart!

He immediately activated the Great Thunder Breathing Technique to absorb and refine the terrifying power of spring thunder.

He could feel his proficiency in breathing techniques improving rapidly, and images flashed through his mind as his understanding of the Great Thunder Breathing Technique deepened.

With each breath Jiang Wangzu took, lightning flashed and a deep, resonant chant emanated.

His entire body radiated a glassy golden light, and his clothes turned to ashes under the terrifying lightning.

His injuries were constantly opening and closing, and he felt that his progress in cultivating the Glazed Dragon Elephant Technique was also accelerating rapidly.

"Cough cough cough!"

Meanwhile, Pei Zhenzhu exuded a torrent of resentment, which was constantly eroded by the spring thunder before finally settling on her.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and the resentment in her body was constantly dissipating, but under the baptism of lightning, her breath became weaker and weaker.

Jiang Wangzu noticed that Pei Zhenzhu's body was very unwell!

"Sister Pearl?"

What's wrong with you?

"Why do I feel like the spring thunder is constantly wearing down your body?"

"Get out of here!"

"Come on, I'll take you out!"

Jiang Wangzu came to Pei Zhenzhu's side and tried to pull her away, but Pei Zhenzhu's resentment erupted, sending Jiang Wangzu flying.

Rumble!

More and more lightning bolts gathered on the top of the golden palace and then struck down fiercely, with countless arcs of lightning landing on Pei Zhenzhu.

"what!"

Pei Zhenzhu finally couldn't hold back her painful screams.

Outside the Golden Palace.

The lightning-attracting formation set up by Xuanxiaozi and others has been completely obliterated by the terrifying lightning.

They exchanged a glance as they watched the thunder above the golden palace grow increasingly violent.

"Master, what... what's going on?"

Yuan Ming looked at Xuan Xiaozi with some confusion and asked.

"To become an immortal through the path of ghosts is intolerable to Heaven and Earth!"

According to ancient records, in ancient times, the primordial energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and the will of the world enveloped this realm.

"Any demon or monster that wants to attain immortality must undergo three tribulations and nine hardships, and numerous trials and tribulations."

"A single misstep could lead to death and the annihilation of your soul!"

"However, this world is now in the Dharma-ending Age, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, making it difficult to provoke the world's will to send down a heavenly tribulation as a test."

"However, this lay Buddhist Pei took the initiative to draw upon the spring thunder to temper his body, hoping to use the power of the thunder to cleanse his vital energy."

"Then, with the help of Jiang Jushi's yang energy, she harmonized yin and yang, and used the vitality of spring thunder to condense the body of the ghost immortal."

"Her idea was good, but she didn't expect the world's will to appear and bring down a heavenly tribulation."

"If she gets through this hurdle, her future will be bright, and our world might really produce a ghost immortal in the future!"

"But if she can't get past this hurdle, then she and Jiang Jushi will be completely annihilated!"

Xuanxiaozi spoke with great emotion.

This may be the best ending.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy.

Defeat means death and the end of one's life.

It has nothing to do with Wudang Mountain!

Inside the Golden Palace.

Jiang Wangzu tried to get close to Pei Zhenzhu time and time again, but was repeatedly knocked away.

He frantically circulated the Glazed Dragon Elephant Technique and the Great Thunder Sound Breathing Method, finally reaching a certain critical value, which brought his Great Thunder Sound Breathing Method to its limit and made it perfect in one fell swoop.

"Scatter!"

Jiang Wangzu roared angrily, his voice like thunder, and the surrounding lightning actually scattered in all directions.

Pei Zhenzhu collapsed to the ground with a thud, panting heavily, finally getting a moment to catch her breath.

"Sister Pearl, what exactly happened?"

"I'll take you away from here right now!"

Jiang Wangzu walked to Pei Zhenzhu's side, picked her up in his arms, and said something.

"No!"

"Don't leave the Golden Palace!"

"Within the Golden Palace, the Golden Palace can block the Heavenly Tribulation, so I still have a sliver of hope for survival. If I leave the Golden Palace, I will surely perish under the Heavenly Tribulation."

"I planned everything meticulously, but I never expected the heavenly tribulation to descend!"

"Now that you have mastered the breathing technique to perfection, your journey has been completed. Don't worry about me, leave the Golden Hall immediately!"

Pei Zhenzhu struggled to leave Jiang Wangzu's embrace and spoke.
