A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Miaoyi respectfully obeys the Immortal's decree."

Following Lin Xiu's instructions, An Miaoyi raised her hand and cast a series of spells to operate the array center of Miaoyu Nunnery. She first inspected it and then opened the outer defensive array.

"Om~"

A gentle fluctuation emanated from the great array enveloping Miaoyu Nunnery, its light flowing and actively opening a portal to the outside.

...

Half a minute ago, high in the sky, the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect, "Yang Li," was leading three other Yin-Yang Sect elders in a continuous bombardment of the Miaoyu Nunnery's grand formation.

Each time the black and white yin-yang wheel fell, it caused the great formation to tremble violently, its light flickering erratically.

"Elder, this formation won't last much longer!" an elder of the Yin-Yang Sect said excitedly.

“That’s right, we should be able to break this formation in about half an incense stick’s time!” another elder chimed in.

Yang Li was a tall, elderly man with white hair and beard, a sinister face, and sharp eyes like a hawk. He wore a black and white Taoist robe, and his body was surrounded by the flow of Yin and Yang energies, exuding a powerful aura.

"Hmph, the formations of Miaoyu Nunnery are somewhat skillful, but in the face of the techniques of my Yin Yang Holy Sect, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs!"

Just as Yang Li was about to continue his attack, he suddenly sensed something and stopped.

Several Yin-Yang Sect elders noticed the Grand Elder's actions and stopped as well.

Because... a gentle fluctuation came from the great formation of Miaoyu Nunnery.

As the light shone, a portal unexpectedly opened on its own!

"Oh? This is... it opened by itself?" an elder of the Yin-Yang Sect asked in surprise.

"It seems that Miaoyu Nunnery is quite sensible. Knowing that they couldn't stop us, they took the initiative to open the door and invite us in!" Another Yin-Yang Sect elder laughed heartily.

Yang Li frowned, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind. But then he thought, he was the Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Sect, a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Great Power realm. He had brought three elders of the Great Power realm with him, plus hidden reinforcements. Even if the other side had some tricks up their sleeve, they could handle it!

"Let's go in!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Li sent the four of them into four streaks of light, carrying immense power, as they descended upon the Miaoyu Nunnery!

The yin and yang energies circulated around them, transforming into black and white halos that dyed the entire sky in yin and yang colors.

A terrifying pressure poured down like a tidal wave, causing the flowers, plants, and trees within the Miaoyu Nunnery to bow down.

"What powerful aura!" The cultivators watching from afar exclaimed in surprise.

"That's Yang Li, the Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Sect! A powerful expert at the seventh level of the Great Power Realm!"

"The Yin-Yang Sect is serious this time; they've actually sent out a Supreme Elder!"

"I heard that Lin Xiu suppressed the Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect and a powerful elder. Clearly, Yang Li has come for revenge!"

"Although that Holy Body possesses unparalleled talent, he has only just broken through to the Immortal Realm One. Facing a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Great Realm, I'm afraid... his chances of survival are slim."

A seventh-level Great Power—this is already the level of a Supreme Elder in a Holy Land. In an era when saints were not born, such a powerful figure could practically roam freely in any region.

Although Lin Xiu possessed extraordinary combat power, the gap in cultivation level was too great, and he was not favored by everyone.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying. Even if the Sage Tianxuan has gone far away into the starry sky, doesn't the Tianxuan Holy Land still have imperial weapons?" a young cultivator asked, puzzled.

"........"

The young cultivator's words immediately silenced the surroundings.

Well, they definitely forgot about that.

It's all Lin Xiu's fault! Why did he keep refusing to use his Imperial Weapon? He made them all forget about it!

"Haha~ How about we start a betting pool? Do you think there'll be a fight this time? If there is, how long will it take to settle things?"

In an awkward situation, everyone stopped discussing the winners and losers in the casino and started betting on Lin Xiu's own chances of winning or losing.

........

the other side.

As Elder Yang Li and other Yin-Yang Sect elders arrived with overwhelming power, a celestial figure crossed the void and stood between them and the venue.

The figure, dressed in flowing white robes, possessed an extraordinary aura, as if he were a banished immortal descended from the celestial realm—it was none other than Lin Xiu!

Lin Xiu stood in the void, surrounded by four divine weapons: Mount Tai, which radiated the light of the Five Elements and the primordial energy of all things; the Dao Heaven Mirror, which reflected the laws of the heavens; the Burial Heaven Guide, which flowed with mysterious burial power and supreme momentum; and the Sacrificial Altar, which was surrounded by blood light and seemed to connect the past, present and future.

The four powerful artifacts operated simultaneously, working together to resist the oppressive aura emanating from the Yin-Yang Sect elders before them.

However, even so, Lin Xiu still seemed somewhat overwhelmed by Yang Li's overwhelming pressure.

The next second, Lin Xiu took a step forward, and the five secret realms within his body roared simultaneously, with golden blood energy soaring into the sky!

Divine Forbidden State, activated!

Under the divine restriction state, the power unleashed by Lin Xiu's four Dao-carrying artifacts reached an even higher level, showing signs of faintly suppressing the power of the Yin-Yang Sect elders!

Seeing that his momentum had been reversed, Yang Li did not get angry. Instead, he looked down at Lin Xiu as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

"Interesting... You're that Holy Body Lin Xiu?"

"That's right, I am Lin Xiu. Your Yin Yang Sect... is this all the people you've sent this time?"

Lin Xiu smiled and put down the Heavenly Evolution Abacus in his hand. He already knew why Elder Yang Li had come so confidently this time.

Yang Li sneered:

“My Yin Yang Holy Sect’s leader and deputy leader are busy with countless affairs every day. The few people I brought are enough to take you back to my sect for judgment.”

"Convict? Convict whom?" Lin Xiu retorted.

"Of course, it's time to convict you."

"Holy Body Lin Xiu, you have unjustly injured and imprisoned the Holy Maiden and Elders of my Yin Yang Sect. What is your crime?"

Yang Li did not intend to take action directly. He needed to clarify the grievances between the Yin Yang Sect and Lin Xiu first to prevent other holy lands from standing up for Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu understood Yang Li's meaning, so he smiled even more happily.

"What crime should I be charged with?... Hahaha! ~ Interesting. What right do you, a religious leader from Zhongzhou, have to come to the Eastern Wilderness to judge my crimes?"

"If I remember correctly, it was your Yin-Yang Sect that came to my Eastern Wilderness first to forcibly abduct the spirit child, wasn't it?"

Although Lin Xiu couldn't remember some of the plot details, he remembered the part about the Yin Yang Sect very clearly, because they directly kidnapped Xiao Nannan!

Of course, Yang Li would never admit to this.

"What do you mean by forcibly abducting a spiritual child? That's guiding a promising immortal to cultivate in our Yin-Yang Sect! That's giving them an unparalleled opportunity!"

“Holy Body Lin Xiu, I am not a harsh person! How about this, as long as you are willing to bind yourself before the gates of my Yin Yang Sect and kowtow for a hundred days, my Yin Yang Sect will forgive your rudeness.”

“I can even ask the sect leader to accept you as a disciple and teach you the supreme Yin-Yang technique.”

"How about it? Think about it!"

Elder Yang Li's old face was drawn long, as if he was being far too magnanimous by doing so.

Such shamelessness was astonishing, even to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu: "......"

"Have you forgotten that my Tianxuan Holy Land has saints and imperial weapons?"

"Also, don't think I can't see through what you mean by taking me as your disciple."

"If you want the Nine Secrets and the Imperial Scripture from me, just say so openly. That's what everyone thinks."

Yang Li: "........"

Yang Li was surprised that Lin Xiu was so direct, and his already wrinkled face wrinkled even more.

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end, all your words are wasted!"

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for personally suppressing this young prodigy!"

Now that things have come to a head, there's nothing more to say! Let's see what's what! He's made thorough preparations this time!

........

"Oh? Suppressing young prodigies?"

"You mean... you dare to challenge me, who possesses an imperial weapon?"

Lin Xiu shook his head and clenched his right hand to the side.

"Whoosh!"

A golden battle banner instantly appeared, exuding imperial might, instantly repelling the opponent's momentum!

At that very moment, a mysterious light flashed across the sky, and an unnamed imperial might appeared simultaneously, creating a stalemate with the golden battle banner!

Chapter 257 Nirvana Sutra: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?

Hahaha!!!~

"Holy Body Lin Xiu! You're not the only one with Imperial Weapons! Do you really think I'd come looking for you without any preparation?!"

Seeing that the imperial might of the golden battle flag was blocked, Yang Li finally couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.

Now that the Sage Tianxuan has traveled far into the starry sky, and someone is willing to lend them an imperial weapon, it's simply a godsend! How could they possibly refuse?

Lin Xiu: "......"

"You're prepared, but I'm not, right?"

"You're so smug about being used as a tool; you really don't know what's good for you!"

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, a crack appeared in the void behind him.

Immediately afterwards, a figure in golden armor, cast in gilded gold and engraved with intricate Dao patterns, emerged from it. It was none other than the armored puppet Dao Lord controlled by Lin Xiu!

"Golden armor! The aura of a peak-level Great Power! It's a Dao Lord!"

"The Dao Master? Is that the one who has been secretly protecting Lin Xiu's Dao?"

"I heard that he collaborated with the demon king of the Azure Lotus lineage to suppress the Void Mirror of the Ji family?"

"Why does he always wear armor? Is it to hide his true identity?"

After the Dao Lord appeared, the entire venue erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm.

To see a Saint Lord-level figure wielding an Imperial Weapon in direct combat, this ticket was... totally worth it!
