Teacher?

But one can see the Two-Qi Peak.

The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt sat cross-legged atop the mountain, her aura connected to the mountain itself. A precious sword lay before her, emitting a clanging sound, its golden light striking with deadly force—it was clearly an eighth-order magic sword.

Sword intent arises.

Sword Qi crisscrossed.

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt closed her eyes slightly, as if she hadn't just defeated the two Divine Firmament. However, the calm was only for a moment. The intrusion of the two Path cultivators ultimately disrupted her cultivation. The invincible Sword Qi that had been brewing for more than several months had to be released. Although it severely injured Yun Qing and Yun De, it was also very bad for her.

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's eyelids twitched slightly at first, then her calm expression vanished, replaced by a solemn look. Her aura gathered, and even Sword Qi swirled around her.

Whoosh!

This is someone who has exerted their full Law Power and cultivation to the extreme, and is trying their best to balance the Daoist Domain.

It's a pity.

The timing of their second intrusion was absolutely perfect.

The clash between the two, one against two, was so intense that it severely damaged the Daoist Domain, which had not yet been established Blessed Land.

We are trying our best to maintain it now, but ultimately it will be difficult to resist.

Within the Two-Qi Peak, surrounding the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, there are three people at the highest point. All of them exude a chilling sword intent, each holding a wisp of Sword Qi within their mouth, which they hold back without releasing it. These three are none other than the three True Immortal disciples whom the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt has cultivated over many years, expending countless resources and painstaking efforts to teach.

The fact that Seven Treasures Mountain has produced five True Immortal despite having few disciples is thanks to the decisive and ruthless Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt. She single-handedly carved out a great deal of resources, which led to the current situation.

Although these three people were still in the early stages of cultivation, they were all at the Mahayana Sensing Realm.

But after all, he received the True Disciple of the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, cultivated the Orthodox Grade sword manual, and was bestowed with treasures by the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt. His strength was quite remarkable, and he had a reputation among the Hao Kingdom.

The three disciples of the same lineage were a great help in the upgrading of the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt Daoist Domain.

However, as the two disciples of Divine Firmament broke in, and as their master unleashed a devastating sword strike, the three disciples, along with all the other disciples in the mountain, let out a muffled groan.

To the best of our ability, we must persevere.

The cultivators, led by these three Mahayana True Immortal, were all trembling slightly, and blood seeped from their eyes, noses, and ears, which was truly terrifying.

The next moment.

The cultivators could no longer hold on.

The three True Immortal' eyes were bulging out of their sockets, blood streaming down their faces, a truly pitiful sight. Then their bodies trembled violently, and they opened their mouths with a loud "Waaah!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, and the swirling Sword Qi dissipated. The cultivators collapsed to the ground, a chaotic scene of men and horses falling over, and the entire Two-Qi Peak lost its momentum, the thick stench of blood mingling with the aura of decline spreading outwards.

"Teacher!"

Qi Zhou, Cui Fengnian, and Zhongli Hu, the three True Immortal, struggled to their feet, shouting urgently, and staggered towards the Polarity Hall. Inside the Polarity Hall, the roof had already been torn open by Sword Qi, and a petite figure slowly stood up.

It was none other than the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt.

The sword lay across the way, Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt reached out and grasped the hilt, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.

Upon seeing this, Qi Zhou and the other two were filled with sorrow.

"Kanshan Sword".

The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt held the precious sword, gently stroking its blade. Her eyes held neither sorrow nor joy, only the endless passage of time. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to countless years ago, to the day she first obtained this sword.

That day.

The Daoist priest took out three magical Law Artifact.

Pointing to the three-foot-eight-story palace, he said, "This is the most precious treasure of the Upper Origin Palace, the Upper Origin Eight-Scenery Tower."

Pointing to the palm-sized moon-shaped necklace, he said, "This is a secret treasure of the Upper Origin Palace, the Great Possession Ring."

Pointing to the understated longsword, he said, "This is the sword of True Person Lingyun of the Upper Origin Palace, the Kanshan Sword."

The Daoist priest raised his hand and pushed the Kanshan Sword into her hand.

The girl looked up at her teacher.

"A sixth-tier Law Artifact, the Kanshan Sword. You're practicing the 'Luofu Sword Canon,' and you're just missing a suitable magic sword," the Daoist said with a smile.

Years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The sixth-tier sword bestowed upon her by her teacher has been continuously refined as she fought her way through the north and south, and as her cultivation increased, it has now reached the eighth tier. Although it is not as good as another supreme treasure bestowed upon her by her teacher, it is still considered average among eighth-tier swords.

Wielding the 'Kanshan Sword', he struck fear into the hearts of demons from all directions, truly earning a fearsome reputation.

Only.

The sword remains, but the old friends are gone.

"Big brother."

"Fourth Junior Brother."

"I'm afraid Ye'er won't live to see you return."

Gently stroking the sword, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's mouth, sliding down her lips as if she were unaware, and continued to murmur, "Teacher, your disciple is unfilial. I failed to find Junior Brother and even caused Third Brother to suffer inhuman torture."

"Cough cough!"

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt coughed lightly twice, her eyes dimming slightly. Holding a sword in one hand, she gently shook the other, revealing half of her slender, white arm. On her wrist, Two-Qi Ring shimmered with blue and purple hues, making her arm appear even more delicate and fair.

With a gentle shake of her jade ring, the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt smiled, her smile as bright as the sun. Seeing this, Qi Zhou and the other two felt a sense of foreboding.

Over the years, the three of them had often followed their teacher around, and they had never seen him smile so sincerely.

At this critical juncture, such an unusual occurrence could not help but alarm the three of them.

"Teacher--"

Of the three, the only female disciple, Cui Fengnian, who was also closest to Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, stepped forward, her face full of worry.

The call reached the ears of the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt.

The fairy maiden looked up and saw the concern on her disciples' faces. She couldn't help but smile. "The Immortal Dao to immortality is ethereal and I am not destined for it in this life. The three of you are exceptionally talented. You should strive to cultivate diligently in the future in order to Changsheng."

The three disciples are indeed exceptionally talented; otherwise, even with abundant resources, they would likely have found it difficult to cultivate into True Immortal.

But it also depends on who you're comparing it to.

Compared to those cultivators who are stuck at the Golden Core and Primordial Spirit stages their entire lives, their talent is undoubtedly exceptional. However, compared to those who are also True Immortal, Qi Zhou and his companions are merely of average appearance.

She is not even as good as the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt.

If there are no other fortuitous opportunity in this life, I'm afraid I'll only reach the first or second realm.

As for Changsheng through the Immortal Dao?

It's probably hopeless.

This was merely the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's final expectation and blessing for her three disciples.

Qi Zhou, Cui Fengnian, and Zhongli Hu exchanged glances, and Qi Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Where is Teacher going?"

Where to go?

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt was stunned, her eyes dimming slightly. She chuckled and shook her head, murmuring, "The world is so vast, where else can I go? All these years of waiting and painstaking efforts have come to nothing. I can't wait any longer. I only hope to kill a couple more enemies before Return to Ruin, and then see my third junior brother one more time. That would be enough for me."

The sound was barely audible.

The three disciples only saw their teacher's pale, blood-stained lips slightly part, but they couldn't hear a single word.

I was about to ask again.

They saw their teacher grip the Kanshan Sword, his aura suddenly surging, revealing a ruthless and murderous nature. The three were familiar with this aura; their teacher had always acted this way when facing enemies and slaying demons.

But this time, it carried a sense of unstoppable momentum.

Boom!

As the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt took a step forward, the already chaotic and hopeless Two-Qi Peak shattered completely, just like a bronze mirror.

It wasn't that Two-Qi Peak collapsed, but rather that the Daoist Daoist Domain that Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt had cultivated for many years was completely ruined.

The Daoist Domain was destroyed.

Given her current condition and less than a hundred years of lifespan remaining, there is absolutely no possibility of her Eastern Mountains and attempting Changsheng a second time.

All paths ahead are blocked.

It's already a dead end.

"They're out."

The cultivators from all directions had long been watching the Two-Qi Peak. Originally, the aura of the Daoist Domain was obscured, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. However, with the movement of the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, the scene inside the Two-Qi Peak immediately appeared in everyone's eyes.

This Two-Qi Peak, once a place like a celestial palace, is now a desolate wasteland. The vegetation is withered, and the cultivators within are all bleeding, their plight indescribable. The flat summit is cracked, with irregular fissures of varying depths tearing apart countless celestial pavilions and towers, causing them to collapse.

"Well!"

Seeing this, the crowd also felt sorrow.

Only the two Daoists from Yunbian and Divine Firmament, upon seeing the appearance of Two-Qi Peak Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt emerging from the mountain, showed smiles on their still-unhealed faces. These smiles grew increasingly bright, standing out starkly against the surrounding silence.

Daoist Yuan Shan ignored the two Daoists and looked only at Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, hesitating to speak, his face showing a look of guilt.

"Fellow Daoist."

The Daoist Nun Cheng Jin spoke up, wanting to offer comfort, but for a moment she couldn't say anything else.

Changsheng was clearly within reach, yet it was cruelly severed.

Honestly, if it were her, she probably wouldn't be much better than the current Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt.

"I am grateful for the help of the two immortal masters."

"My cultivation is insufficient and my accumulation is inadequate, so I cannot blame others."

"I only hope that you two will take care of Seven Treasures Mountain in the future, considering my past hardships. I would be extremely grateful."

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt walked over, her face showing neither joy nor sorrow. She cupped her hands to the left and right Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan, and said something.

"Must."

Daoist Yuan Shan nodded in agreement.

Daoist Nun Cheng Jin looked at Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt and hesitated, "Fellow Daoist, what is this—"

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt Fairy nodded and smiled, then strode toward Yun Qing and Yun De of the Divine Empyrean Sect.

Yun Qing and Yun De's smiles remained unchanged.

Their injuries were severe earlier, but they have now stabilized. Although their cultivation as immortal masters was achieved through Secret Method at a great cost, they are still Pure Yang masters with considerable Divine Ability.

Seeing the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt approaching, he remained completely calm.

Don't be fooled by their previous defeat, where they were sent flying backwards in a panic, severely injured and bleeding. That was because Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt had been overseeing the Daoist Domain for over a month, condensing her Sword Qi, and had planned this attack in advance, which led to their defeat.

And at this moment.

Even though their injuries had not yet fully healed, they were not afraid to face the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt alone.

Yun Qing had delicate features, but perhaps too delicate, revealing a hint of effeminacy. He gazed at the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt and greeted her with a soft, gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist—"

He had just opened his mouth.

The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt refused to listen, and then saw a flash of cold light—

The Two-Qi Ring immediately began to rotate, and a faint bluish-purple halo, several feet in size, surrounded the body.

"Two-Qi Ring".

Yun Qing's expression froze, revealing a look of disgust.

The still cracked hand formed a hand seal, and wind, rain, thunder, and lightning surged together, covering the front of him and enveloping the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt.

No one else knew.

The Divine Empyrean Sect Daoists were well aware that the Two-Qi Ring in the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's possession were a rare treasure. Back then, the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt relied on this treasure to escape from the clutches of the Divine Empyrean Sect's many experts, causing considerable losses to the Divine Empyrean Sect over the years.

However, while this treasure is indeed extraordinary, it is still a notch below the level of the Pure Yang Immortal Master.

As expected.

The Two-Qi Ring emitted a shimmering mist that enveloped the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, forming a blue and red aura. Without any visible movement, it suddenly shot forth a burst of light, growing a thousandfold in size, resembling a sun. Its power seemed so immense that even its owner could not subdue it. No matter the direction of its flight, any powerful Swordsmanship, steel, stone, or earth that touched it was instantly pulverized.

Such ferocity terrified everyone around.

Rumble!

A series of loud noises!

However, these Two-Qi Ring come and go quickly.

First it slammed towards Yun Qing, then flew back in the next moment. Amidst the deafening roar, Yun Qing remained unmoved, while the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt staggered, nearly losing her balance while gripping the Two-Qi Ring.

Obviously.

They failed to gain any advantage.

Yun Qing, however, was not about to give up. With a smile on his face, he conjured a circle of wind and thunder and said softly, "I will also accept one of my moves."

As soon as the Wind-Thunder Ring appeared, the weather instantly changed color.

The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt held the Kanshan Sword, her expression solemn and fearless.

The sword pointed diagonally at the ground, with layers of Sword Qi surrounding it. When the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt opened her mouth, a golden lamp appeared.

"Teacher!"

Qi Zhou and the other two were all startled upon seeing this. Having received the True Disciple of the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, they naturally knew the use of the golden lamp. Now that it was being used, it was clear that they were going to fight to the death.

Unable to contain themselves any longer, the three cried out in surprise and leaped up together to help their teacher fight off the formidable enemy.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Yun Qing displayed his power.

Yun De remained unmoved.

The Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt and her disciples were in imminent danger.

The crowd outside held their breath, Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan frowned. They wanted to help, but the Red Yin Old Demon and the Black Haze Old Devil were locked in place, preventing them from making any rash moves.

Upon seeing Qi Zhou and the other two, Divine Firmament Erdao smiled and said, "Very well, we will send you and your master on your journey together."

That was all.

The Wind-Thunder Ring suddenly expanded, and in the next moment, it was about to shatter everything.

Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt's eyes showed a look of relief, but she stepped forward with her sword, and with one hand in her sleeve, she threw out a net, trapping her three disciples and forcing them aside.

"Rakshasa Yin-Wind Net".

Those around recognized the item as the 'Rakshasa Yin-Wind Net,' one of the seven treasures possessed by the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, a top-tier tool for capturing and seizing people. With this net blocking their way, Qi Zhou and his companions would have no chance of breaking through for the time being.

With the Heart Lamp above, the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt gathered all her Law Power to its limit.

Ignoring the calls of his three disciples.

It will erupt in the next instant.

"What a pity."

"Well."

Daoist Nun Cheng Jin, the Daoist Yuan Shan, and many other experts outside Seven Treasures Mountain saw that the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt was clearly going to make a desperate attack, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Despite her immense fame and illustrious reputation spanning millennia, the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt could not escape the cycle of fate.

This moment.

No matter who it is, it's hard not to feel a touch of sorrow. Thinking of oneself, even worse off than the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, another wave of sighs and lamentations washes over one's heart.

Yun Qing and Yun De were completely unaware, only feeling a surge of frustration rising from their abdomens to their throats. They only needed the Wind-Thunder Ring to finish off the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt before it would completely dissipate.

With no more lingering resentment, one can now peacefully retreat into seclusion to resolve hidden dangers and glimpse the true mysteries of Pure Yang.

However.

At that very moment.

The two Daoists from Divine Firmament felt a blur before their eyes, and before they knew it, a young Daoist appeared before them. The Daoist seemed to stroll in leisurely, with a smile on his face that instantly pleased anyone who saw him.

Erdao was also infected at the same time.

Before the two could realize something was wrong, an ordinary Green Bamboo Staff was casually raised and gently tapped them on the forehead, instantly sealing their six senses and causing them to collapse on the clouds.

"..."

This unexpected turn of events truly shocked everyone.

Even the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt was momentarily stunned. With the Luofu Heart Lamp hanging above her head, her immense Law Power gathered as she stared at the young Daoist's back. She felt both unfamiliar and familiar, as if the passage of time had stood between them.

On the side.

Upon Daoist Nun Cheng Jin and Daoist Yuan Shan felt a sudden tightness in their chests, sensing an impending doom. The young Daoist priest's gaze, in particular, sent a chill down their spines, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Fortunately, it was only for a short while.

The gaze swept over them in a fleeting moment, and before the two could even react, the young Daoist had already transcended time and space, appearing in the south.

"Escape!"

"Escape!"

The moment the two Divine Firmament collapsed, the Red Yin Old Demon and the Black Haze Old Devil decisively turned around, stirred up wind and mist, and fled straight into the depths of the Savage Wilderness.

A fierce wind howled, and black smoke billowed.

However, the two demons' skills in riding the wind and clouds were rudimentary.

With just one step, the young Daoist priest, who had started later, had already caught up with the two demons. He used his Green Bamboo Staff to tap them on the back of the chest, just like before.

"Oh no!"

The two demons cried out inwardly, and with two loud bangs, they immediately followed in each other's footsteps, their six senses sealed and losing all control.

The Daoist priest lightly waved his sleeve, and the two demons turned around.

Outside Seven Treasures Mountain.

Silence reigned all around, except for the Seven Treasures Immortal Aunt, who stared blankly at the young Daoist priest, and with a hint of hesitation, called out—

"Teacher?"
