Chapter 85: Taking Matters Into His Own Hands
Several of them had peculiar looks in their eyes, clearly somewhat disappointed, and after a moment, they all shook their heads simultaneously.
A few other Daoists, however, had a hint of joy in their gazes, and their attitude changed slightly as they looked towards the direction of Lingyuan Lake.
At that moment, these Daoists did not know that in front of the Xuanzhen Abode, Lin Yuan, relying on his exceptionally sharp Innate Spiritual Awareness, had long since detected a profoundly subtle aura in the shadows, desperately trying to part the fog of Fate shrouding him and spy out his origins.
Noticing this change, Lin Yuan was not alarmed but pleased. These past days, he had deliberately made a big show precisely to attract the genuine Dharma Lineage Immortals.
By now, he had already refined the previous River God within the River God to death, but he kept a portion of its aura, scattering the previous River God’s energy around, allowing that energy to be deduced.
By now, the Immortals of the Chengyuan Immortal Sect must have learned the origin of his “true background”!
“It was said this youth obtained the River God Golden Seal that flew out of the Lingjiang River. Who could have imagined that this youth is actually an achievement of an Ancient Water Immortal!”
After what seemed like a long silence, on the Spirit Cliff, a Daoist’s eyes flashed with a trace of a sigh.
“That Ancient Water Immortal’s cultivation was extraordinary. If not for some unknown calamity, it might have achieved something else. Now that it has entered our Chengyuan Immortal Sect, the opportunity has arrived!”
Several Daoists more or less let go of their suspicions.
There was another explanation for this; the Chengyuan Immortal Sect itself was founded upon inheriting part of the fortune of the Ancient Water Immortals. Many surviving Ancient Water Immortals who underwent tribulation transmigration naturally returned to the Chengyuan Immortal Sect.
The Water Immortal lineage within the Chengyuan Immortal Sect was quite influential; indeed, several among them originated from the Water Immortal lineage.
In an instant, several Daoists raised their gazes. By the shore of Lingyuan Lake, action had already begun!
Mu Heng was also angered by Ao Yu’s aggressive attitude.
“What grand words, wanting this lord to give you an explanation!”
“Ao Yu, let this lord see how much weight you, the pride of the Golden Lake Dragon Palace, really carry!”
A purple mysterious light had already appeared around Mu Heng. Although the Dragon Clan’s influence was significant, the Dragon Clan’s rules did not govern the Twelve Dharma Lineages of Dongyue Province.
Moreover, his nature was arrogant due to his talent; when had he ever suffered such grievance!
That wisp of purple mysterious light shot out, instantly transforming into a bracelet burning with purple fire.
The bracelet shimmered with treasure light, its force profound and immense, clearly a very powerful Magical Artifact.
Ao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of Baleful Qi appearing. He raised his halberd and casually knocked away the purple-fire bracelet. It seemed he cultivated a body refinement technique.
Body refinement techniques resulted in incredibly strong physical bodies. Cultivated to the extreme, they could form a formidable Dao Body not inferior to the Turbid Sha Divine Demon Dao Body.
But knocking away the purple-fire bracelet was just the beginning. A cold sneer flashed in Mu Heng’s eyes. With a wave of his sleeve, five or six treasures shimmering with dense spiritual light shot out from his hand one after another.
Each emanated dazzling spiritual energy, soaring through the air and smashing down like shooting stars.
The vast spiritual pressure they released caused many cultivators to slightly change expression.
Even considering his Dao Body strong, Ao Yu couldn’t help but have his jade-like face change. Mu Heng’s possessions were truly not poor. If Mu Heng created distance and had numerous Magical Artifacts smashing down together, even he would feel hard-pressed!
Making up his mind, Ao Yu gave a derisive laugh. An icy-blue mysterious light surged from his body, like a rolling, churning icy-blue long river, connecting with the water system of Lingyuan Lake and abruptly blocking the incoming Magical Artifacts.
His entire person transformed into a streak of silver light, shooting through the air towards Mu Heng. Swinging that extremely heavy halberd, a tremendous force was born. Furious thunder cracked through the air. A vast swirling force spread across hundreds of miles. Several Magical Artifacts of slightly brittle quality met the halberd’s mysterious light and were blasted backwards, their light dimming. Even though Mu Heng had achieved the body of a Scattered Immortal, he felt his hair stand on end.
The body refinement lineage emphasized using overwhelming force to break through all methods, with incomparably heavy power!
No matter your thousand Magical Artifacts, ten thousand techniques, break them with force!
Mu Heng understood clearly that their magic power was similar, and their cultivated methods each had their strengths. But right now, he couldn’t afford to wait. He had to suppress Ao Yu as soon as possible and take away the Golden-Winged Roc. Otherwise, by the time other Dragon Clan prodigies arrived, this Golden-Winged Roc might really stay here.
His gaze swept past the frowning Lin Yuan beside the Xuanzhen Abode, a cold sneer flashing in his eyes. Today, he not only wanted to suppress Ao Yu who stood in his way, he also wanted to give this person a lesson he would never forget.
Seeing Ao Yu charging over, he changed his form, completely unafraid. His body transformed into a purplish-red escape light, evading several hundred zhang away. He remotely controlled the Magical Artifacts, harassing Ao Yu in an orderly manner.
Both were extraordinary in their methods. As they fought, waves of intangible spiritual energy pressure spread in all directions, dazzling to the eye.
Even the many prodigies from various Dharma Lineages who had come one after another to attend the True Inheritance Banquet all showed different expressions.
Whether it was Mu Heng or Ao Yu, the methods they displayed had already surpassed the scope of ordinary Scattered Immortals, truly impressive.
After several clashes, Mu Heng saw an opportunity. A golden light flashed in his hand.
A golden, rope-like object that seemed alive appeared in his palm, instantly transforming into golden light that swept towards Ao Yu.
“An ancient treasure, the Dragon-Binding Rope?”
A Dragon Clan elder who had arrived, seeing the treasure’s original form, instantly changed expression.
The Dragon-Binding Rope was most effective at restraining dragon and serpent bodies!
Ao Yu was probably in big trouble!
“Be careful!” he roared in warning!
Several hundred zhang away, seeing a golden light appear, Ao Yu’s expression shifted, instantly changing dramatically. The icy-blue Cold Ripple Mysterious Light surging around him transformed into an icy-blue long river, desperately blocking that golden light. But the Dragon-Binding Rope was incredibly miraculous. Sensing the changes in aura, it swept in from various directions.
For a moment, Ao Yu was somewhat flustered!
“Using softness to overcome hardness!” Seeing this, Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly, a cold laugh in his heart.
Looking again into the air, Mu Heng stood proudly in the void, his hands rapidly forming seals. A wisp of purplish-red mysterious light spread out around him.
This wisp of purple mysterious light appeared, spreading like countless purple flames, turning the shore of Lingyuan Lake into a world of purple.
Within it, there was also an extremely scorching flame that melted the spiritual veins around the Xuanzhen Abode’s restrictions.
That was a terrifying divine ability recorded in the Blazing Sun Palace’s “Purple Sun Dao Scripture.”
The Purple Sun Mysterious Light was incomparably overbearing, and it had also refined a trace of Sun True Fire!
Over hundreds of years in the Blazing Sun Palace, only a few great cultivators had mastered this incredibly profound method!
Mu Heng’s move was malicious; clearly, he intended to use the fight as an opportunity to destroy this Xuanzhen Abode!
“Not good!” The Dragon Clan elder’s expression changed dramatically. The Purple Sun Mysterious Light was extremely powerful, containing a trace of overwhelmingly violent Sun True Fire. An ordinary Scattered Immortal could not withstand it!
And Ao Yu was now entangled by the Dragon-Binding Rope, utterly unable to resist such an overwhelmingly violent mysterious light.
“It seems I still have to take action myself!” At the entrance of the Xuanzhen Abode, Lin Yuan looked up and saw this scene, his expression calm. With hand seals, a vast Heavenly River rushed out from the mysterious light around him, sweeping grandly over Lingyuan Lake. In an instant, it collided with the intensely scorching Purple Sun Mysterious Light.
