Boom! A terrifying battle erupted!

The sea of clouds churned, and terrifying ripples of power spread outwards, filled with the aura of Thunder Fire, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting! Chen Wang and the others looked at each other in the Desolate Mountain, their expressions extremely solemn.

This level of battle is irrelevant to them; merely observing such advanced cultivators fighting is very beneficial for improving their State of Mind and gaining insights.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since they couldn't leave anyway, they decided to observe from there.

This is a rare opportunity; it's seldom possible to see so many Nascent Soul Stage cultivator working together.

The Nether Soul White Bone Banner was extremely powerful, but it was precisely the female ghost within the Jade Hairpin that countered it.

The Heavenly Tiger Mountain Daoist, who arrived riding a yellow crane and wielding an ancient sword, possessed extremely strong swordsmanship and was decisive in killing, making him very difficult to deal with.

The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the Northern Lands are also very powerful, each with their own unique methods.

For a moment, the magical treasure that the Old Devil had refined with countless living beings failed to unleash its power.

Yuan Chengtian was defeated and retreated, where he was entangled by several people.

However, at this moment, the female ghost's illusory form in the Jade Hairpin shattered and vanished without a trace.

She had only recovered a portion of her strength within the jade hairpin, and without a physical body, her strength was insufficient.

At that moment, it transformed into a rainbow of light and flew into the Jade Hairpin, after which the Jade Hairpin disappeared.

The Sorrowful Old Man had already missed the best opportunity and there was no way to turn the tide. His physical body was killed, but his Nascent Soul rushed out, turning into a stream of light and disappearing into the horizon.

The secret treasure he had painstakingly refined, the Nether Soul White Bone Banner, was now sealed away by the Heavenly Tiger Mountain Daoist.

The others did not raise any objections.

Heavenly Tiger Mountain is a very large cultivation force. Compared with the Western Continent, the Northern Lands are just a somewhat desolate place.

They specifically invited Heavenly Tiger Mountain Daoist to subdue the demon.

Seeing the Daoist priest take the Nether Soul White Bone Banner away, everyone felt heartbroken, but they also knew that there would be less fighting in the future.

For some reason, I felt a sense of relief.

On this Heavenly Tiger Mountain Daoist rode a yellow crane and disappeared into the horizon, truly displaying remarkable elegance.

"Yuan Chengtian's physical body has passed away, and his Primordial Spirit cannot recover without decades of cultivation. He needs to find a place to recuperate in seclusion. He will not amount to much. I will take my leave now."

The immortal has already departed on a yellow crane, leaving only echoes in this place.

Chen Wang watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Although the Old Devil had killed countless people, he was still able to fight against several cultivators of the same realm on his own.

The Heavenly Tiger Mountain Daoist possessed unparalleled swordsmanship, forcing the Old Devil to retreat step by step, unable to unleash his full power.

These powerful figures left a deep impression on him, making his pursuit of the Way even more steadfast.

Soon, the Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain transformed into a streak of light and flew to Chen Wang's side. The few cultivators who had been living in seclusion in the mountains had already left.

Only one old man with a large gourd on his back and a ruddy face came along.

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain had extremely sharp eyes, like two sharp swords, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He calmly asked, "What's the story with that woman? Do you know her, young friend?"

Chen Wang said, "I dare not lie to you, senior. I only found that jade hairpin by chance in a tomb. I was in danger when I was fighting with someone, so I used this Jade Hairpin. I did not know that this woman was so powerful."

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain nodded slightly.

The woman Divine Ability extraordinary abilities. Although she was merely a soul, she was certainly not someone that this junior cultivator could control. Her explanation was quite reasonable.

The old man carrying a gourd next to him laughed and said, "I told you there was no need to be so fierce to these youngsters. They almost became ghosts in that Old Devil's banner before, and now they have barely escaped death."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain said, "I was just a little curious. Judging from the Dharma body that woman was using, she must have been a powerful cultivator in her previous life. I am a little curious about her."

The old man carrying the gourd laughed and said, "No matter who she is, that woman contributed a lot to today's battle. In the end, I think she must have exhausted her Divine Sense power. However, I don't know where she is in these mountains now."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain said, "If we find such a person, we can help this fellow Daoist recover his cultivation."

The old man didn't take it seriously. "That's all in the future. Getting involved in this kind of karma is not a good thing, and I don't want to."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain remained silent.

These two were of equal status. The old man was also the Old Ancestor of a cultivation sect in the Northern Lands, named Xu Ruo Yu.

His sect was roughly equal in strength to Dragon Head Mountain; it was called the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

It is said that the founding Old Ancestor was an immortal who ascended to heaven, but the lineage has declined somewhat over time.

With his level of cultivation, the Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain could probably discern whether Chen Wang's words were true or false, and could sense something.

And what the other party had said earlier about being entangled in karma was indeed true for cultivators of their level.

There are certain taboos in the the Unseen.

His eyes flashed, and he looked at Chen Wang calmly, saying, "Do you have a master or a sect you belong to?"

Chen Wang said, "I am just a rogue cultivator. Nowadays, everyone in the cultivation world is in danger. I am here to avoid trouble, but I didn't expect to run into this demon."

The Old Ancestor Dragon Head Mountain said, "I come from Dragon Head Mountain. If you are willing, you can join my sect and become a Guest Elder."

Chen Wang felt a chill run down his spine.

Dragon Head Mountain and Profound Yin Sect joined forces to destroy Red Cloud Sect. Although he confessed some things to this old man and seemed very honest, his true background could not withstand scrutiny.

But before he could refuse, the old man next to him with the large gourd said with a smile, "Tell me, isn't this a coincidence?"

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain looked at Xu Ruo Yu and said in a deep voice, "What coincidence?"

He was not a person who liked to joke.

Xu Ruo Yu said, "I also found this lad to be very congenial and would like to invite him to our Ethereal Immortal Sect."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain smiled and said, "Brother Xu, are you trying to steal my man?"

The two women accompanying Chen Wang were both Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and the Three-Tailed Spirit Cat was also an extraordinary spirit beast.

The female cultivators beside him were all Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators, which was a very good force. Taking them under his wing would naturally strengthen Dragon Head Mountain.

Xu Ruo Yu said, "How about this, let this young friend decide for himself which faction he wants to join?"

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain nodded.

Although he was somewhat interested in Chen Wang and the woman in the jade hairpin, as well as Chen Wang and his group, these were all minor matters to him.

They weren't particularly eager to find the female ghost inside the jade hairpin.

"Alright, let's do as Brother Xu says."

Xu Ruo Yu looked at Chen Wang and smiled, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Ruo Yu, and I come from the Ethereal Immortal Sect. Have you ever heard of this Ethereal Immortal Sect?"

Chen Wang's heart stirred. The Ethereal Immortal Sect was a major sect in the Northern Lands, on par with Dragon Head Mountain. However, it was usually more low-key, unlike Dragon Head Mountain, which considered itself a leader of the Righteous Path.

"Of course I've heard of it."

Xu Ruo Yu nodded. "That's good. Young friend, don't feel pressured. Join whichever faction you want."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain nodded calmly. "That's right, it all depends on your personal choice."

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised, not expecting that two Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor would extend olive branches to him at the same time.

This was an opportunity for him, but of course, it also came with some dangers.

After considering it for a moment, he respectfully said, "I am willing to join the Ethereal Immortal Sect."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain remained calm, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Xu Ruo Yu laughed loudly, "Alright, then it can be considered that we are destined to meet. I will take you back to the sect, and from now on you will be Guest Elder of my Ethereal Immortal Sect."

The Old Ancestor of Dragon Head Mountain didn't say much, he just glanced at Chen Wang and then looked away.

For someone of his status to personally recruit Chen Wang was already giving the young cultivator a lot of face. If the other party refused to join, what could he say? Should he try to sell him the benefits of Dragon Head Mountain like he was selling something? He couldn't bring himself to do that.

He then soared into the sky, transforming into a rainbow of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Chen Wang respectfully asked, "May the people with me accompany me to the Ethereal Immortal Sect?"

Xu Ruo Yu said, "Since I have accepted you as Guest Elder, you will naturally have some people following you. However, if you want to join the Ethereal Immortal Sect, we will need to consider their qualifications."

Chen Wang understood what the other party meant. These people could all go with him to live in the Ethereal Immortal Sect, but to truly join the sect, they still needed to undergo some review and examination.

Chen Wang nodded. "Thank you, Grandmaster."

Xu Ruo Yu laughed loudly, and the gourd behind him emitted clouds that swept everyone up and carried them towards the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

Upon arriving at the Ethereal Immortal Sect, Chen Wang was somewhat surprised to see the towering mountain peaks that seemed to reach into the clouds, some even engulfed in a sea of clouds.

"The atmosphere of the Ethereal Immortal Sect is indeed different from that of the Red Cloud Sect, and the richness of Spiritual Qi here is also incomparable to that of Golden Wind Island."

He took a deep breath.

Arriving here means new challenges. There are many experts here, and joining a major sect is not as good as being on Golden Wind Island.

Xu Ruo Yu, carrying a large gourd, led a group of people into the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

The sect leader of the Ethereal Immortal Sect was a tall, middle-aged man in purple robes. He led some elders to greet them.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor."

The sect leader said respectfully.

Xu Ruo Yu does not usually participate in the sect's management affairs and lives in seclusion.

This time, that demon caused chaos in the world. If he hadn't taken action, this calamity would have come to the Ethereal Immortal Sect sooner or later. That's why he joined forces with the Dragon Head Mountain Old Ancestor and several other powerful Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to besiege that person.

Upon seeing the sect leader arrive, he simply waved his hand, saying, "No need for formalities."

Chen Wang and his group stood to the side.

After Xu Ruo Yu explained the situation, a glint of light appeared in the eyes of the sect leader of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and he nodded, "This disciple will naturally make proper arrangements according to the Old Ancestor's instructions."

He was a Golden Core cultivator with powerful Law Power.

After only a few glances at Chen Wang, he could tell the strength of Chen Wang, Feng Lin, and Xu Yun.

Joining the Ethereal Immortal Sect was a good thing for all of them.

Chen Wang said, "I hope the sect leader will take good care of me in the future."

The middle-aged man in purple smiled and said, "Of course, of course."

Xu Ruo Yu stretched and yawned.

The old man had no air of otherworldly wisdom, nor did he care about manners. He said, "I'm tired. Please make proper arrangements for them."

Immediately after he finished speaking, he transformed into a rainbow of light and flew towards the horizon.

He has his own place to live in these mountains.

Chen Wang paid his respects to the sect leader of the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

From then on, he became a Guest Elder of the Ethereal Immortal Sect and lived in the Ethereal Immortal Sect.

Within this Ethereal Immortal Sect are numerous mountain peaks.

Chen Wang's residence was located on Flying Arrival Peak.

There is a courtyard with pavilions on Flying Arrival Peak where some Guest Elder live, and Chen Wang is one of them.

These courtyards are arranged in a staggered and elegant manner, and are built in a very antique style.

Chen Wang was assigned a place to live and settled down.

A middle-aged cultivator handed a token to Chen Wang: "Elder Chen, this is your identity token. I will send some other items later. Please stay here with peace of mind."

This person is a manager of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, responsible for some daily affairs.

He respectfully handed over Chen Wang's identity token.

Chen Wang nodded. "Thank you."

The middle-aged monk left politely.

Although he was a manager, he was also a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

After he left, Chen Wang looked at the elegant and ancient courtyard and his eyes were somewhat dazed.

"Originally, I was seeking refuge in the mountains, but in the blink of an eye, I became an elder of the Ethereal Immortal Sect. Who can explain the affairs of this world?"

Feng Lin sighed, "Yes, I thought I was on the verge of death, but in the blink of an eye, I've come to the Immortal Sect. Life is unpredictable."

Once everyone had settled in, Chen Wang no longer needed to send anyone to serve him, as he brought his own group.

This courtyard is extremely large; even if ten times that number of people lived there, it would still be very spacious.

They settled down temporarily.

At this moment, Chen Wang was alone in a room, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

"The Spiritual Qi here is extremely rich, making it a rare and blessed place for cultivation, much better than Golden Wind Island."

He took a deep breath, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

Recalling the terrifying scenes of those great figures battling in the sky, his desire to seek the Dao grew even stronger.

"In the future, I will also condense my golden core, cultivate my Nascent Soul, and finally ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"

"It all started from this Ethereal Immortal Sect, which is exactly what its name means, Feathered Immortal."

The look in Chen Wang's eyes was very firm.

Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had never seen so many experts fighting.

Moreover, he always had the Bronze Gate, a treasure that allowed him to escape at any time, giving him more composure when facing life-or-death crises, unlike today when he was repeatedly caught in danger.

Chen Wang took a deep breath.

It is said that the Ethereal Immortal Sect once produced immortals. If it hadn't declined, it would probably be more than just a cultivation sect in the Northern Lands, and wouldn't even be comparable to a place like Heavenly Tiger Mountain.

However, Chen Wang himself was skeptical about the claim that they had produced immortals.

"Isn't this a bit too much of a boast?"
