Ning Qi Makes His Move

As the Barbarian Emperor finished speaking, all the flowers, plants, and trees on True Profound Mountain froze. The wind stopped moving, the void seemed to be frozen, and everyone's body stiffened, not daring to make the slightest movement.

An invisible Sha Qi was spreading.

The barbarian emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan with a hint of displeasure.

The dark wolf roared to the sky, its ferocity completely locking onto the target.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan was no longer as relaxed as before. He exhaled and spoke, and the True Profound Seal emitted an even more intense light, its Dao Patterns seemingly coming to life:

"Please enlighten me, Barbarian King."

Obviously.

This barbarian king is far more powerful than the Buddha of the Precious Tree.

Even though none of them have returned to their peak, their different understandings of martial arts are enough to unleash completely different powers.

The barbarian king remained silent, only taking steps forward.

In an instant.

Black flames burned on the Dark Sky Wolf, making it even more awe-inspiring. The wolf roared and spat out a beam of pitch-black light. Along its path, tiny spatial rifts appeared, causing people to tremble, like a deadly chain.

The True Mystery Seal swelled in the face of the wind, and the Dao Patterns on it manifested as mountains, rivers, and trees.

Everyone was greatly surprised. If they looked closely at the strange phenomenon, it was clearly the True Mysterious Mountain beneath their feet!

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan showed no signs of underestimating him from the start, a stark contrast to his previous ease and composure when dealing with the Buddha of the Precious Tree.

The majestic and mysterious phenomenon of the True Profound Mountain pressed down, freezing the void, but the beam of light spat out by that wolf was indestructible.

Click!

A soft cracking sound rang out.

To everyone's horror, Zhenxuan Mountain was pierced straight through, leaving a hole the size of a fist. In the blink of an eye, countless cracks spread along the hole, covering Zhenxuan Mountain like a grotesque spider web. Then, with a bang, Zhenxuan Mountain shattered instantly.

But the dark beam of light still had some strength left, and continued to rush towards the True Profound Seal.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan looked solemn.

He formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and the True Profound Seal shook nine times, with ripples spreading outwards, finally annihilating the dark beam of light.

The disciples of the True Mystery Sect were all sweating bullets.

The two fought to a standstill, but it was clear that the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was putting in slightly more effort.

The barbarian emperor smiled faintly:

"Your True Lord may continue to consider my suggestion; otherwise, things may not end well today."

The old Bai Shan priest's eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance, his competitive spirit stirred for the first time.

"Good! As expected of the once mighty Barbarian King, you truly live up to your reputation. I, this old Daoist, will see how things don't end peacefully today!"

He reached out and pulled the Heavenly Crane Tree to his side. Strands of light gathered on it, and what was originally a completely dead tree suddenly came to life. This made the Buddha of the Precious Tree look incredulous and even gloomy.

A wisp of life force merged from the Heavenly Crane Tree into the True Profound Seal.

The next moment.

A graceful and ethereal crane cry rang out.

Beneath the True Profound Seal, a pure white crane stood gracefully in mid-air. The True Profound Seal shrank continuously as the crane held it in its mouth, their auras merging together, making it no less formidable than the Dark Sky Wolf.

"Let's try again!" Old Bai Shan laughed heartily.

The barbarian king's eyes widened in surprise, then revealed astonishment:

"As expected of True Mystery True Lord, it seems you're not far from taking that step."

These words made the Buddha's expression darken even more.

Above the sky.

The crane took the initiative, its wings outstretched like a divine sword descending from the sky. Sharp white light rained down, causing the void to tremble. Black dots appeared, contrasting with the white light, creating a scene filled with an eerie beauty.

Black flames suddenly surged in front of Sirius, scorching the wisps of light rain into nothingness.

In an instant.

A terrifying shockwave erupted as the crane and the wolf clashed, truly resembling two beast kings locked in a life-or-death battle. Their claws tore through the void, a sight that sent shivers down the spines of onlookers.

The situation reached a stalemate.

The barbarian king's gaze gradually turned solemn. He stared at the old Daoist priest of Bai Shan and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"The True Lord is even more powerful than I imagined."

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan smiled faintly:

"After all these years, we can't afford to waste them. If we don't make any progress, wouldn't we be no better than a piece of trash?"

These words were perfectly normal, but to the Buddha Ratnakūṭa, they were incredibly grating, as if he were being deliberately mocked.

His expression turned cold, and he strode forward.

Before the barbarian emperor could make a move, he had already summoned the Glazed Treasure Tree.

"Let's see what you've improved!"

The crystal tree radiated seven-colored light, and a Buddha's palm materialized, suppressing the crane that was fighting the Heavenly Wolf with overwhelming power.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan was furious:

"Bald monk Baoshu, have you no shame?"

The Barbarian King also frowned slightly. He was in the middle of a magical duel and was preparing to use his skills to overpower the old Daoist of Bai Shan. However, the Buddha of the Precious Tree intervened. Even if he suppressed the old Daoist of Bai Shan, it would be an unfair victory, which was inconsistent with his usual style of doing things.

He was about to speak when the Buddha of the Precious Tree transmitted his voice first:

"Barbarian King, let's work together now and quickly capture this old Daoist priest. Then we'll force him to swear an oath. Otherwise, things might change if we delay, and if others arrive, today's mission will be lost."

The barbarian king fell silent.

Final default.

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar echoed across Mount Zhenxuan.

Originally, the group had all exercised restraint in their actions, but now that the Buddha of the Precious Tree had made his move, it had disrupted a certain balance. With the Buddha's palm suppressing the crane, the Heavenly Wolf seized the opportunity to bite and attack it, and the power fluctuations immediately leaked out. Even just a few aftershocks were enough to horrify everyone.

Some martial artists with lower cultivation levels were so oppressed that they bled from all seven orifices.

The three True Person of the True Profound Sect paled and immediately stepped in to protect the arriving guests; otherwise, if a large number of people died, the True Profound Sect would have no place to stand.

The other Celestial Person Realm experts also made their moves.

Daoist Longshan's expression hardened. While protecting the True Martial disciples, he also protected some guests nearby who did not have a Celestial Person Realm expert, which immediately drew grateful glances from many.

But everyone was filled with apprehension.

The current situation is not very good.

The Buddha of the Precious Tree and the Barbarian King are outnumbered, and I'm afraid the old Daoist of Bai Shan is no match for them.

Anger flared in the eyes of the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan.

"Good! Very good! I should have slapped you to death back then, you shameless bald monk!"

He was under immense pressure. Although the Buddha of the Precious Tree was somewhat inferior to him, he was still a powerhouse of the same level. Not to mention the Barbarian Emperor, who was vaguely stronger than him. Even with extraordinary abilities, he could not possibly fight two against one.

The crane was besieged by the Heavenly Wolf and the Treasure Tree, teetering on the brink of collapse. Its white feathers were torn to shreds, and it gradually became a sorry sight. The True Profound Seal rushed out again, trying to resist the pressure brought by the Glazed Treasure Tree, but this time, it was directly swept away by the Treasure Tree's seven-colored Buddhist light.

The situation changed rapidly.

But the hearts of the True Mystery Sect members sank deeper and deeper.

The situation is not good.

Judging from this trend, I'm afraid even my ancestor wouldn't be able to defeat him.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan stared intently at the Buddha of the Precious Tree with a cold glint in his eyes, but the latter, with a hint of smugness on his lips, completely ignored him. Seeing the old Daoist priest of Bai Shan gradually becoming disheveled, he felt extremely pleased.

The barbarian king continued to persuade him:

What is the True Lord's opinion?

This time, the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan completely lost his temper:

"Roll!"

His Daoist crown was shattered, his white hair danced wildly, and he rose higher and higher, seemingly about to enter the fray himself. His voice was icy:

"I'll call you 'Barbarian Emperor' if I respect you, otherwise I'll call you pig, dog, cow, or sheep—what does that have to do with me? Since you're forcing me, then be prepared to die!"

He was of a fierce temperament and disliked being threatened. Now that someone was riding on his back, he would rather die than live in dishonor.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan suddenly gained momentum, and a strange aura revived around him.

The Barbarian King, who had initially been somewhat gloomy upon hearing the old Bai Shan priest's curses, changed drastically upon seeing the old Bai Shan priest's sudden change in demeanor. He couldn't help but shout:

"Zhen Xuan, the time is not right yet. Do you want to die?!"

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan shouted:

"Then let's die together!"

He appeared to be insane, but the Buddha of the Precious Tree coldly said:

"I refuse to believe that he would destroy ten thousand years of cultivation in an instant!"

Seeing that the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan showed no sign of stopping, he finally panicked and felt a pang of regret. He never expected the old Bai Shan priest to be so fierce and reckless. The Barbarian King couldn't help but glare at Baoshu, feeling that he had also been tricked.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if something terrible was about to happen.

At this moment.

A long, drawn-out dragon roar resounded, drawing everyone's attention. Everyone was stunned as a white True Dragon soared into the sky from the depths of Zhenxuan Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, displaying extraordinary divine power, before plunging straight into the Battlefield.

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

"Boom!"

The loud noise brought everyone back to their senses.

The True Dragon roared and knocked the crystal tree askew. The two clashed, creating a new Battlefield. The crane, which had been under immense pressure, breathed a sigh of relief and resumed its struggle with the wolf.

"This is... another ancient saint?" This was everyone's instinctive reaction.

All the guests were delighted, especially the members of the True Mystery Sect.

Although this ancient sage did not reveal his true form, judging from the current situation, he has clearly come to help True Mysterious Dao Lord.

The Daoist Longshan looked slightly puzzled.

He scanned the surrounding area again but still couldn't find Ning Qi. However, his instincts told him that the white True Dragon that had suddenly appeared was probably related to Ning Qi. His eyes were filled with both shock and relief.

This white True Dragon was naturally Ning Qi's doing.

After the arrival of the Barbarian Emperor, he sensed something was amiss, so he quietly disappeared, ready to provide support at any time. He didn't want to get into trouble for no reason, but the old Daoist of Bai Shan had treated him quite well, and he also wanted to learn some information about the Martial Saint from him, so he couldn't ignore him for both reason and emotion.

The reason he only made his move now is because he had been studying how Sirius and Crane's powers circulated.

After witnessing the abilities of the two ancient saints, he realized that his own application of the power of the Martial Saint was indeed quite crude. Now, he was learning and applying what he had learned, which made the white dragon formed by the power of the Martial Saint within the Yu King Pearl much stronger.

Although they are no match for Sirius and Crane, they should have no major problem blocking the Glazed Tree.

Above the sky.

It has become two Battlefield.

Sirius and the crane fought, while the True Dragon intercepted the Buddha tree.

Both the Buddha of the Precious Tree and the Barbarian King's expressions changed, especially the Buddha of the Precious Tree. He sensed the powerful pressure emanating from the white True Dragon and knew that it was probably a powerful being no less than himself. He felt both frustrated and shocked.

The barbarian king's eyes gleamed with divine light as he surveyed his surroundings:

"Who is this old friend? Please come out and greet us!"

But there was no sound from his surroundings, and there was no clue whatsoever in the distance.

Buddha of the Precious Tree sneered:

"Should we, as ordinary people, also hide our true colors?"

Those who possess such formidable strength in the present day are unlikely to be people of this world; they are most likely of the same kind as them.

But still, no one responded.

On the contrary, the white True Dragon became increasingly ferocious, shocking the Buddha of the Precious Tree. He felt that the white True Dragon seemed to be growing stronger in the battle, bringing greater pressure every moment. At this moment, the True Dragon's body swelled up and was about to wrap around the Buddha tree and smash it to pieces!

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan remained silent.

His shock was no less than that of the others.

It was because he clearly sensed a familiar aura emanating from that white True Dragon.

"Ning kid?!"

Even after many reincarnations, he still felt his worldview was being challenged at this moment.

How could an eleven-year-old boy possess such astonishing strength?

It should be noted that he is not some reincarnated old monster, but a genuine young man.

He had overestimated Ning Qi as much as possible, but when he saw what was happening before him, he was still inevitably taken aback.

"By the Dao Ancestor above, what the hell kind of monstrous creature is this?!"

An eight-year-old at the White Mist Realm and an eleven-year-old who can rival Martial Saint are two completely different concepts; the difference between them is immeasurable!

After observing for a moment, he became absolutely certain that the person who made the move was Ning Qi.

He even suspected that Ning Qi had deliberately released that aura to assure him of his identity and avoid accidental injury. Seeing the suspicious looks on Baoshu Buddha's and Barbarian Emperor's faces, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

The old Bai Shan priest's imposing aura gradually subsided.

With a turning point in his life, he no longer needed to fight so desperately.

The crane rallied and engaged the wolf in battle. This time, the old Daoist of Bai Shan was filled with rage and attacked even more fiercely. His crane wings were like swords, slashing at the wolf and tearing a long rift in the void. His power was even greater in his rage.

The Barbarian Emperor dared not be distracted. He was confident that if he went all out, defeating the True Profound Old Daoist would not be difficult. However, the identity of the person who had crossed his arms was still uncertain, which made him somewhat wary.

"Buddha, you block this man, I will deal with Zhenxuan!" he whispered.

But Baoshu's face turned red:

I'll try my best.

The crystal tree was entangled by the True Dragon, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free. Much of the seven-colored Buddhist light was swallowed up by the white True Dragon. The way this person in the shadows used the power of the Martial Saint made him feel alarmed. At first, it was not much, but now it was getting stronger and stronger.

He absolutely refused to believe that anyone could grow so much in such a short time; there was only one explanation.

That is, this person is playing a trick on him.
