Eight Profound Mountains
The sky is vast and the clouds are boundless; the water flows into eight mountains.
Eight Profound Mountains is located in the northern part of Luzhou. It consists of eight sacred mountains, towering over ten thousand feet high amidst the misty clouds. At the foot of the mountains flows a long, winding river.
Legend has it that more than 100,000 years ago, Hengyu the Great defeated his great enemy here, thus embarking on the path to invincibility and ultimately proving himself as an emperor.
Yin Tiande's choice of this place for the final battle signifies his determination and will to attain enlightenment. Here, he defeats his formidable enemy and, like Hengyu the Great, embarks on the ultimate path to invincibility.
The Sun Emperor had completely set, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. On this full moon night, Eight Profound Mountains was transformed into a silvery-white expanse, and everything was as clear and bright as autumn water.
At this moment, the area around the Eight Profound Mountains was already densely packed with people, and it was unknown how many cultivators had crossed the Void the Great to come and watch this battle on the Emperor's Path.
Moreover, the number of spectators continued to increase, and Domain Gate opened from time to time. People had been waiting for this battle between Zhou Tong and Yin Tiande for many days.
What was once a desolate mountain under the moonlight is now teeming with people, stretching as far as the eye can see, creating a truly remarkable sight.
The North Sea Black Dragon King arrived, descending from a pitch-black cloud. He was a Mighty Lord of the North Sea Demon Clan, rumored to possess the blood of True Dragon and be incomparably strong.
"The Lord of the Human King Palace has arrived!" A group of cultivators escorted a middle-aged man as he descended to this place. As people who had a grudge against Zhou Tong, they did not want to miss this battle.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!" The Daoist chant rang out, and several Daoist priests appeared at the scene. Behind them were more than a dozen young Daoists, each of whom exuded a vibrant vitality and vigorous blood.
"This person Longevity View!" someone exclaimed.
The Longevity View is an ancient sect in the Ziwei Star Domain with an unimaginable long history. Legend has it that the sect can be traced back to the Mythological Era and originated from one of the Nine Heavens Venerables.
Just then, a palace suddenly flew in from the horizon, with Heaven Flower. Under the moonlight, each petal was crystal clear, and a delicate fragrance wafted into the air, making every pore on one's body relax.
Those are cultivators from the Guanghan Palace!
Yin Tiande and Yi Qingwu were already engaged, so they were naturally there to support Yin Tiande.
"The Supreme Sect Master of the Guanghan Palace has also emerged from seclusion!" Immediately, a cultivator spotted an Old Woman within the Heirloom Sacred Weapon, Guanghan Palace.
"It was this Supreme Sect Master who took a liking to Yin Tiande and single-handedly facilitated the marriage between Yin Tiande and Yi Qingwu!" Many of the younger generation were unconvinced.
Yi Qingwu was the most beautiful woman in Ziwei Ancient Star, and countless young talents wanted to win her heart. However, in the end, this Old Woman betrothed her to Yin Tiande, thus extinguishing the hopes of others. How could these young cultivators not be angry?
"Looking around, it's basically all people who support Yin Tiande!" Ye Fan and the others mingled in the crowd, quietly watching the countless cultivators who came to watch the battle.
"Little Tyrant's methods are too domineering. In Big Dipper, he captured a group of Saint Lord Great Power from holy lands and then extorted Immortal Material from them; in Ziwei Ancient Star, he used the same trick again, extorting all those Ancient Sect and dynasties. How could these people not hate him? I even suspect that if he were to attain enlightenment in the future, his reputation would be even worse than that of the Ruthless Great Emperor. He would truly be the envy of the entire world." Pang Bo became more and more speechless as he spoke.
Given Zhou Tong's unbridled personality, they really didn't know what to say.
He wanted to curse, but he himself benefited greatly from it, gaining tens of thousands of catties of Immortal Material and countless scriptures and secret techniques, which is something that many cultivators could not accumulate in thousands of years.
But if I don't curse him a few times, I feel like I'm letting myself down. I was implicated by him and was hunted down all over the world. I was almost beaten to death.
"Yin Tiande has arrived!"
Suddenly, someone spoke up.
A figure appeared on the horizon, bathed in moonlight, with Purple Qi Coming from the East from the east, stretching for eight thousand miles.
This person was not particularly imposing, but he possessed a natural, innate Daoist Dao Rhyme, like an ancient emperor descended to earth. There was a sharp, dormant aura beneath his otherworldly appearance, inspiring awe.
This is Yin Tiande, an unparalleled genius in the Ziwei Cultivation World.
His combat strength is not only on par with any of the Imperial Son, but may even be stronger!
He is one of the very few cultivators that Zhou Tong knows of who can trigger the divine restriction at the Second Layer of Immortal Platform.
In terms of divine restriction, even the Imperial Son might not be as powerful as him.
The vast majority of Imperial Son only truly trigger the divine restriction at the King stage of the third level of the Immortal Platform. Those who can trigger the divine restriction at the Second Layer of Immortal Platform are either truly peerless experts among the Imperial Son or peerless geniuses with the potential to prove the Dao.
"This is Yin Tiande?" Many cultivators were seeing Yin Tiande for the first time.
But I feel that Yin Tiande is different from the legend.
Legend has it that Yin Tiande possessed an incomparably sharp and fierce aura, much like a peerless divine sword that had been sharpened, with unparalleled sharpness.
However, upon seeing Yin Tiande today, one gets a sense of tranquility, non-action, and naturalness, which is clearly a sign of a significant increase in cultivation and a return to simplicity.
He silently flew to the easternmost peak of the Eight Profound Mountains and sat cross-legged on a huge rock. He was further adjusting his breathing and preparing himself for the opportune moment.
"This aura is very similar to that of the old man who rode the ox and founded the Eight Sceneries Palace Taiqing Realm!" An old senior felt a chill in his heart. Yin Tiande must have cultivated the scriptures of the Eight Sceneries Palace to an extremely profound level, otherwise he would not be able to show such a pure and inactive aura.
"Yin Tiande is indeed extraordinary!" Purple Haze Fairy had almost merged with the Dao, so she could naturally sense just how terrifying the power was hidden beneath Yin Tiande's calm exterior.
Once this power is unleashed, it can be earth-shattering.
"Yin Tiande has arrived, so where is Zhou Tong, the one who challenged you to a duel?"
"Haha, surely Zhou Tong isn't too afraid to accept the challenge!"
Countless people spoke up, some worried whether the battle could be held on time, others accused Zhou Tong of slander, believing he had been intimidated by the force of the weapon.
As time passed, the moon rose higher and higher in the sky, its watery moonlight cascading down, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene on the entire Eight Profound Mountains.
Finally, the bright moon hung in the center of the sky, illuminating a large area.
"The moon is high in the sky, it's time. Where is Zhou Tong?" Everyone watching was very curious and searched everywhere for any trace of Zhou Tong.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled, as if it were the sound of someone's footsteps, or as if the entire world was responding to something, and even the great Dao of heaven and earth became disordered.
"Thump!"
Soon, a second set of footsteps approached.
This time, everyone could see clearly that a tall figure was walking over from the other side of the horizon.
This person was Zhou Tong.
Compared to Yin Tiande, Zhou Tong was noticeably taller and more imposing.
"They're here! Zhou Tong is here too! Both main characters of this great battle are here! I really can't wait to see how exciting this battle will be!"
"Zhou Tong dared to challenge Yin Tiande, who Dao Severing, so he must have his own trump card. I'm optimistic about his chances in this battle!"
A cacophony of voices rose up as countless people watched Zhou Tong, who seemed to have merged with the Dao Yi, walk towards them from the other side of the horizon.
His eyes were calm, and every step he took was gentle, but each landing was astonishing, with Dao Sound resonating in harmony, auspicious energy swirling around him, and the heavens and earth Pulsation.
Even Yin Tiande was shocked; this comprehension of the Great Dao was in no way inferior to his own!
Especially when the other party approached, their confident gaze and invincible aura deeply shocked Yin Tiande.
It turns out that there really are such invincible cultivators in the world besides myself!
