Cultivation World, Volume One: The Tianxin Sect at Death's Door - Purple Cloud Compromise

A very inconspicuous blue flame suddenly flashed and rushed to Tian Nan's front.

"Rumble~~~~~~"

Thunder rumbled continuously in the starry sky. Zhang Xingfeng suddenly looked up and saw the bolt of lightning, which had turned from bluish-black, rushing towards Zhang Xingfeng.

"Roar~~~~~" Zhang Xingfeng knew that the attacks of the divine artifacts were all spatially locked, and there was no way to escape. He could only fight them head-on. Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power surged into the battle armor, and the golden battle armor suddenly shone brighter. Zhang Xingfeng's body also became stronger and stronger. The battle armor was completely body-hugging, and even his bulging muscles were clearly visible. With a roar from Zhang Xingfeng, his body became even stronger.

Purple heavenly fire continuously burned all over Zhang Xingfeng's body, and the scorching flames formed a domain of heavenly fire around Zhang Xingfeng's figure!

"Boom!"

Zhang Xingfeng felt a sudden numbness in his body as the terrifying power of the lightning struck his internal organs. His muscle fibers, as if made of steel wire, continuously weakened the damage. His body, which had long been tempered by the heavenly fire, finally withstood the test. Zhang Xingfeng only breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the power of the lightning begin to weaken. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This heavenly lightning is too terrifying! With the armor formed by Rou Jin, the neutralization of the heavenly fire, and my own physical strength, it actually made my body feel a little weak. It really is powerful!"

However, Tian Nan was even more unlucky at this time!

The blue flame is none other than the Blazing Heavenly Flame. It's called blue flame because of its blue color. Every immortal knows the immense power of the Blazing Heavenly Fire. Only Immortal Undying Body can withstand it; otherwise, one will be annihilated. Of course, if you have a divine artifact for defense, that's another story. To resist it with immortal energy alone, you need the power of Immortal Emperor. Of course, Immortal Monarch all possess divine artifacts, which have protective functions, just not as powerful as defensive divine artifacts.

Every divine artifact, whether defensive or offensive, is relative. For example, the Heavy Profound Chisel, while primarily defensive, can still be incredibly powerful when used with leg techniques thanks to its Heavy Profound Leg Guards. Similarly, the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, when fused into Zhang Xingfeng's body, would naturally protect its master if Zhang Xingfeng were attacked. Initially, Zhang Xingfeng's Empty Hundred Split attack was blocked by the protective effect of Tian Nan's Great Thunder God Hammer!

But what about this time?

Zhang Xingfeng was born with the body of a fire spirit, and with the amplitude of the Divine Fire Crystal Core, the power of this "Blue Fire Devour" was even greater than its original power. How could the non-defensive divine artifact, the Great Thunder God Hammer, possibly withstand it?

"You little brat, you actually unleashed the Blazing Heavenly Fire! Didn't you want me to..." Tian Nan roared angrily, but helplessly took out a white Jade Slip from his storage bracelet. This was the life-saving talisman that the Great Emperor Ziwei had given to Tian Nan, who was in charge of the Cultivation World.

Tian Nan is the leader of the Purple Cloud Realm in the Cultivation World. If he is finished, the problems that will occur in the Purple Cloud Realm are beyond what others can imagine. He cannot die. Great Emperor Ziwei personally made three life-saving talismans for him. They are all extremely powerful defensive formations. They are Great Emperor Ziwei's full-force defense!

"Purple Clouds—Guard—You!"

Tian Nan murmured, and the white Jade Slip immediately transformed into a white, transparent light shield, completely enveloping Tian Nan. Zhang Xingfeng's blue flames continued to burn, and the white light shield within the flames suddenly began to light up. However, to Zhang Xingfeng's dismay, the white light shield remained unbroken until the news of the Blazing Heavenly Fire arrived.

Zhang Xingfeng stopped!

Tian Nan also stopped fighting!

Even Zhang Xingfeng's strongest attack, the sixth form of the Sun- Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, couldn't eliminate Tian Nan. What other method was there? Zhang Xingfeng gave a bitter smile, "This old bastard is really powerful. He even blocked the Blazing Heavenly Fire, uh!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt a tremor in his internal organs. The Limitless Power was already chaotic and disordered, rebelling wildly... The backlash from using the sixth arrow beyond his level had begun!

"How could I, Zhang Xingfeng, be defeated by this reaction!" Zhang Xingfeng showed no sign of pain. His powerful body only suffered minor injuries from the reaction, which did not harm his core.

Tian Nan stared at Zhang Xingfeng: "Even the strongest attack combining my Heavenly Thunder God Hammer and the Purple Cloud Forbidden Method couldn't defeat this little bastard. His defense is truly terrifying. That golden armor looks like a defensive artifact. I really don't know how this Zhang Xingfeng came about. Where did he come from? He actually has so many artifacts! This time, I even wasted one of my life-saving talismans. It's really not worth it!" Tian Nan was heartbroken over the life-saving talisman. This life-saving talisman was made by the Great Emperor Ziwei himself and was extremely precious in the Immortal Realm.

The two stared at each other, neither able to kill the other.

"You old bastard, if you've got the guts, come and kill this elder! You call yourself Nine Heavens Profound Immortal? You can't even defeat Great Luo Golden Immortal like me? You might as well die!" Zhang Xingfeng mocked, shouting wildly from the side.

Tian Nan was taken aback, but then he was stunned again, thinking to himself, "You're Great Luo Golden Immortal? Do Great Luo Golden Immortal have such a strong body as you? Do Great Luo Golden Immortal have that spatial rift attack? Do Great Luo Golden Immortal have divine armor? Do Great Luo Golden Immortal have the top-tier divine artifact Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"

The more he thought about Tian Nan, the more frustrated he became. He couldn't believe that Zhang Xingfeng, who initially posed no threat to him, had actually reached the same level of strength as him. Defensive artifacts combined with top-tier offensive artifacts, combined with his own strength and powerful physique! This created Zhang Xingfeng's unparalleled and formidable power.

"Hey, you two, you must be tired of fighting. Take a break and come sit down at my Tianlong Sect!" Wu Tong had been watching the battle from afar, finally came over. He had only come after the battle was over.

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at the old man. He knew that while he was fighting, the old man was leisurely sipping tea.

"Old Wu, you old codger, you seemed to be having a good time just now? Sitting there watching your brother work so hard, are you even human? We've known each other for a long time, how could you just sit on the sidelines and watch?" Tian Nan seemed to have a very good relationship with Wu Tong, calling him "brother" at every turn, appearing very friendly.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly sighed and said, "Ah, I'm really tired. This person from the Tianlong Sect, let's go and rest at the Tianlong Sect first. Later, I'll go to the Purple Cloud Realm branch of Qilong Star for a visit!" A playful smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face.

"You're still going!" Tian Nan's expression changed. Suddenly, Tian Nan stopped and took out Messaging Jade Slip from his storage bracelet. He had already felt the energy vibration of the Messaging Jade Slip. After looking at it, he realized that Messaging Jade Slip Purple Cloud Realm had already sent several messages during the fight.

"Master, the Tianxin Sect's protective formation is extremely terrifying. The Immortal Offering Group is wiped out, with only three Heavenly Immortal remaining. The rest are all gone! What should we do now? I beg you, Master, to make the decision!"

Upon seeing this news, Tian Nan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him in the dead of winter, and he shuddered. "The Immortal Offering Group... is finished!" Tian Nan knew the power of the Immortal Offering Group. The existence of more than forty Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal was the main reason why the Purple Cloud Realm suppressed the other six major sects. More than forty Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal!

Ten Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal are equivalent to one Great Luo Golden Immortal. If they were to use the coupling technique, their attack power would be doubled. The attack power of these forty-odd Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal was extremely strong. But now... they're gone!

"Just who is Zhang Xingfeng? He possesses so many divine artifacts, including a top-tier one, and his Tianxin Sect's protective array is so powerful. How could such a person suddenly appear in the cultivation Cultivation World? There's been no news of him in the Immortal Realm either!" Tian Nan suddenly felt puzzled. He knew that without a powerful background, how could an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal possess top-tier divine artifacts, so many immortal artifacts, and such a miraculous protective array? The conclusion was— Zhang Xingfeng must have a powerful background!

Looking at the terrifying heavenly fire still burning fiercely on Zhang Xingfeng's body, Tian Nan sighed inwardly, "With just this heavenly fire, even Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't be able to get close to him. Add to that his divine artifact armor, and even Nine Heavens Profound Immortal would have a hard time hurting him without a divine artifact!" Tian Nan felt a little helpless.

Suddenly, Tian Nan opened his eyes wide, staring at Zhang Xingfeng and the heavenly fire surrounding Zhang Xingfeng's body. "Heavenly fire, heavenly fire, it's heavenly fire, could it be..." Tian Nan suddenly thought of a possibility, and not only did he gasp, but his heart also felt cold. The more he thought about it, the Tian Nan convinced he became of his judgment.

"Heavenly Fire, to be able to use Heavenly Fire to such a level, and to have so many divine artifacts!" Tian Nan was even certain of his thoughts. Just thinking about that person filled Tian Nan with an inexplicable fear.

"Zhang Xingfeng, may I ask who your master is...?" Tian Nan had lost his former domineering aura and asked the question cautiously.

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. His master? Besides Tianchenzi, the previous sect master of the Tianxin Sect in his previous life, his master was only Pangu!

"My master is a great figure, far beyond your comprehension!" Zhang Xingfeng adopted an arrogant demeanor. Indeed, Pangu's status was far beyond Tian Nan's imagination. However, Tian Nan wasn't thinking of Pangu, though he certainly envisioned Zhang Xingfeng 'Tian Nan master as someone of immense stature. In fact, within the realms of immortals and demons, this person's status was even higher than Pangu's! Perhaps it was because Pangu preferred experiencing the perilous realms of immortals and demons rather than frequently confronting powerful figures that his fame wasn't as great as Pangu's!

"May I ask if Master True Person Xingfeng is still in the Immortal Realm?" Tian Nan's address to Zhang Xingfeng had changed several times, from "little rascal" to "Zhang Xingfeng," and now even "True Person Xingfeng." Tian Nan showed no embarrassment whatsoever, as if it were all perfectly natural. If Zhang Xingfeng was truly that person's disciple, then Tian Nan wouldn't object to calling him "Senior Zhang Xingfeng" at all!

Zhang Xingfeng looked at Tian Nan seemed very interested in and even respectful of his master. Zhang Xingfeng's Zhang Xingfeng raced, and he quickly composed himself, saying, "Where is my master, Tian Nan? What right do you have to ask? Besides, even the Great Emperor Ziwei can't interfere in my master's affairs!" Zhang Xingfeng was gambling; he believed that Tian Nan's respect meant that this person in the Purple Cloud Realm must be extremely respected, or even feared. The Great Emperor Ziwei certainly couldn't defeat this person, otherwise Tian Nan n't be so cautious.

Upon hearing this, Tian Nan indeed seemed quite apprehensive and immediately said, "Of course, of course, I, Tian Nan, am certainly not qualified to ask. It's just that I just felt a surge of longing for the True Person Master!"

Seeing Tian Nan's expression, Wu Tong was taken aback, but then seemed to realize something. He glanced at Zhang Xingfeng in horror and muttered, "Heavenly Fire? Heavenly Fire? Could it really be...?"

Zhang Xingfeng also saw the expressions on Tian Nan and Wu Tong's faces, and knew that they must have regarded him as the disciple of an important person for some reason, which was why they were so respectful.

However, Zhang Xingfeng soon had an idea: to use the prestige of that important figure he had never met to carry out his plan.

"Tian Nan, this time, your Purple Cloud Realm attacked my Tianxin Sect disciples first, killing my core disciples, and then destroyed Tianfeng. What I find most intolerable is that your Purple Cloud Realm actually sent an immortal offering group to attack my Tianxin Sect. Fortunately, my Tianxin Sect has the formation passed down by my master, otherwise... Hmph, the consequences would be unbearable for you!" Zhang Xingfeng said coldly, naturally attributing the powerful formation to his master, whose identity he didn't know.

Tian Nan suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder that formation was so terrifying, it turns out to be... what was said, then it's not surprising!" Tian Nan thought to himself, even though Tian Nan didn't dare to think about that person's title.

"True Person Xingfeng, this time it was my fault in the Purple Cloud Realm. I hope the Tianxin Sect and True Person Xingfeng will not pursue this matter unkindly!" Tian Nan suddenly said softly.

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned!

"What! The Purple Cloud Realm actually admitted their mistake! The Purple Cloud Realm actually hopes that my Tianxin Sect will not pursue the matter, will not pursue it... Hahaha... I killed more than three hundred Purple Cloud Realm disciples and destroyed two of their branches, and they still want me not to pursue the matter! Hahaha... Hahaha..." Zhang Xingfeng laughed wildly in his heart, but on the surface Zhang Xingfeng only smiled slightly.

Zhang Xingfeng seemed quite generous, nodding in satisfaction. "Hmm... Alright, since you've said Tian Nan, Tianxin Sect, how could we possibly pursue this matter? However, from now on, can you guarantee that Purple Cloud Realm will not launch any attacks against the Tianxin Sect, causing any damage to our Tianxin Sect?"

"Of course, of course! As long as I, Tian Nan, remain in the Cultivation World, I will always take care of the Tianxin Sect!" Tian Nan said decisively. At this moment, however, Tian Nan was inwardly groaning. "You bastard, would I dare attack your Tianxin Sect? Not to mention offending you, if your master finds out, and gets angry, Grandmaster Ziwei will probably come looking for trouble!"

Zhang Xingfeng seemed quite satisfied with Tian Nan answer.

"Alright, you can go first. I still need to go to Mingling Star to prepare for the reconstruction of Tianfeng! Remember, from today onwards, you Purple Cloud Realm are no longer allowed to attack my Tianxin Sect! If I find out, hmph!" Zhang Xingfeng said coldly.

Tian Nan shuddered and immediately responded. Hearing Zhang Xingfeng tell him to leave, he immediately rode Star Brilliance away as fast as he could. Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Wu Tong and said, "We'll meet again at the Tianlong Sect next time. This elder has other matters to attend to now, farewell!"

Wu Wu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Farewell, True Person!"

Zhang Xingfeng laughed heartily, and in a flash, he disappeared into the starry sky!
