Strip Away That Immortal Ranking Fortune-I'll Wait for You to Enter the Dao Foundation Realm

But then, in the Void, Yu Jiangwei opened her eyes, and the two disciples of Candleflame Star behind her, along with Lin Longyue who was cultivating with Yu Jiangwei, opened their eyes at the same time.

Her deep, abyss-like eyes reflected the radiant light of the Immortal-Husk Aura, a hint of surprise flashing across their depths.

In another snowy wonderland, above the clouds, a rooster stands proudly, its comb like fire. The rooster opens its eyes and suddenly crows.

The crowing sound pierced through the sea of clouds and resounded throughout the sky!

Above the Heaven Gate Sea, Zhao Duanxuan opened his eyes, his aura intimidating.

Those majestic, prison-like eyes pierced through layers of Void, landing in the direction of this Ancestral Mountain.

A fairy whispered in Bai Lingze's ear.

The hymn of Divine Hymn suddenly rose to a high pitch at that moment, as if hundreds or thousands of gods were chanting at the same time.

Liu Chengfeng exuded Sword Qi aura.

The Dao Foundation Realm Dragon-Offering Sect was suddenly surrounded by countless sharp Sword Qi, emitting a chilling light that made people's hearts tremble.

Daoist Shurong parted the clouds in the Void.

The phantom image of the Big Dipper around her suddenly lit up, and seven beams of starlight poured down, swirling and circling around her.

All the powerful figures focused their attention on the Ancestral Mountain.

Those Divine Sense shot towards the Ancestral Mountain like invisible arrows, each one containing undisguised covetousness and greed.

Chen Lingxi stood atop the mountain, sensing the overwhelming Divine Sense.

At the same time, the Qi and Blood clouds surrounding Emperor Daye quietly arrived and enveloped Chen Lingxi's body.

It was as if his traces had been completely concealed, not revealing even the slightest hint of them.

Chen Lingxi, however, was still astonished by Emperor Daye's methods.

Among the Divine Sense that fell upon them were terrifying beings like Zhao Duanxuan, who was at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage; noble cultivators with profound foundations like Bai Lingze; and peerless geniuses like Yu Jiangwei, who could fight three opponents at once without being at a disadvantage.

Each of them is a powerful figure capable of stirring up a storm.

And now, they have all been lured here by Emperor Daye.

"Emperor Daye... is he really that audacious?" Chen Lingxi asked himself.

Xiao Changlü... or rather, Emperor Daye, remained as composed as ever.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, his vital Qi and Blood, as vast as the ocean, completely withdrawn into his body.

He slowly turned around, his eyes, burning with golden flames, falling on Chen Lingxi.

"Since I have promised to protect you and help you reach the Dao Foundation Realm, I will naturally not go back on my word."

"I will stop these Dao Foundation Realm cultivators."

He paused, and then two dazzling golden lights suddenly shone in his eyes.

The golden light pierced through layers of clouds and mist, traversing the vast distance between heaven and earth, and fell straight down to the farthest horizon.

"And you..." Xiao Changlü suddenly flicked his finger.

A wisp of Divine Sense shot out from his fingertip, like an invisible thread, and landed between Chen Lingxi's eyebrows.

Chen Lingxi felt a sudden jolt in his Consciousness Sea, and an extremely detailed map unfolded in his mind.

The map marked an ice field in the far north, where a faint spiritual energy fluctuation was slowly flowing deep within the ice field.

He immediately learned the location of [Ou Ningzi] from the Southern Heaven Domain, who was ranked eleventh.

"Go and strip the spiritual energy from that Immortal Ranking, and I will wait for you to step into the Dao Foundation Realm!"

Xiao Changlü spoke softly.

Chen Lingxi immediately rose up on a cloud.

The clouds, interspersed with lightning, gathered beneath his feet, lifting him into the sky.

He stood on the clouds and looked down at Xiao Changlü, who still stood atop the mountain with his hands behind his back.

The mountain wind rushed in from the valley entrance, making Xiao Changlü's black robe flutter and his long, loose hair dance wildly in the wind.

He stood there, his aura calm and still, like a silent mountain, completely unmoved.

As Chen Lingxi looked at that figure, a complex mix of emotions welled up within her.

This person was his enemy.

His parents died on the execution ground because of the Mirror-Listening Cauldron, which was controlled by Emperor Daye.

However, this person was also his protector. If it weren't for Emperor Daye's repeated rescues, he would have died at the hands of Bai Lingze and Zhao Duanxuan long ago.

They are both enemies and fellow practitioners.

Chen Lingxi finally sighed and stood on the cloud, bowing solemnly to Xiao Changlü.

"But I wonder if Emperor Daye can single-handedly contend with so many Dao Foundation Realm cultivators?" he asked.

Zhao Duanxuan, Bai Lingze, Yu Jiangwei, Liu Chengfeng, Daoist Shurong... these people would be considered extraordinary even in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

Although he has now transformed himself to come to this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, his methods and Divine Ability are still stronger than many other experts of the same realm.

As for Emperor Daye... although he is a Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator and not an avatar, he is not here in his true form. To stop so many powerful enemies on his own, even with the support of the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation, would be no easy task.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changlü took a deep breath and gently blew on it.

That seemingly casual gust of wind was as if it were blowing away the gloom of the world.

But the moment he exhaled that breath, the world suddenly changed.

At that moment, countless threads of Spiritual Qi emerged from between the mountains and rivers, densely packed and layered, like a giant, all-encompassing net that enveloped the entire Ancestral Mountain.

Those Spiritual Qi threads shimmered with golden light, exuding an extremely profound and weighty Daoist charm.

That powerful energy then entered Xiao Changlü's body.

The terrifying Qi and Blood that had been contained within his body surged up again at this moment, like magma in a volcano, constantly churning.

Two extremely bright golden lights shone in his eyes.

The light pulsed continuously, burning like two miniature suns in his eye sockets, dazzling and unbearable to behold.

"If this were the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, I would only be at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment realm, so naturally I wouldn't be able to single-handedly contend against ten Dao Foundation Realm cultivators."

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying an air of domineering grandeur. "But this place is the Weiji Grotto-Heaven."

Ying Xian paused, and the two golden flames in his eyes suddenly blazed brightly to their extreme, like two blazing suns rising at the same time.

"I am the Cave Heaven!"

"They want to seize the fortuitous opportunity in my Cave Heaven, but little do they know, they are also fortuitous opportunity in my eyes!"

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, then turned around and rode on the clouds, heading north.

The mountains and rivers beneath our feet rushed past, and the Ancestral Mountain receded further and further behind us, becoming increasingly blurry, until it finally disappeared completely into the surging sea of clouds.

The deafening roar that could still be faintly heard coming from the direction of that Ancestral Mountain could still be heard!

Dao Foundation Realm expert has already arrived, unleashing his Divine Ability powers and techniques with earth-shattering force.

The sounds of battle between the Dao Foundation Realm Establishment experts could still be clearly heard even from such a great distance.

"Emperor Daye has blocked those many Dao Foundation Realm cultivators. I must find Ou Ningzi as soon as possible, defeat him, seize the Immortal Ranking's spiritual energy, and achieve Dao Foundation Realm in one fell swoop."

Chen Lingxi pondered in his heart, continuously circulating the Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the vast white ice field stretched out in the distance.

The ice field was extremely vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A thick layer of snow covered the ice surface, and the north wind swept the snowflakes across the ice, making a howling sound, as if countless evil spirits were crying in the wind.

The world was a pure white expanse, so white that it was almost impossible to distinguish where the sky ended and the earth began.

Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds above the icy plain and swept across the vast, boundless snowfield using the Qi Observation Technique.

Then he saw it.

In the very center of that ice field, there is a sheltered valley.

In the valley, there is a huge rock, and a person is sitting cross-legged on the rock.

The person remained motionless, as if waiting for his arrival.

Chen Lingxi landed on the ice surface before the valley, raised her head, and looked at the figure on the boulder.

It was a child who looked only seven or eight years old, dressed in a plain white Daoist robe, on which were embroidered extremely intricate ice patterns with silver thread.

His face was youthful, like that of a child who had not yet fully grown up, but the vicissitudes and composure in his eyes were something that a child should not possess.

This person was none other than Ou Ningzi.

An incarnation of a cultivator from the Southern Heaven Domain, ranked eleventh on the Immortal Ranking.

When Ou Ningzi saw Chen Lingxi approaching on a cloud, he slowly stood up from the boulder.

He patted the few snowflakes clinging to his Daoist robe and bowed respectfully to Chen Lingxi from afar.

"The wind and snow carried my message, and I knew that Fellow Daoist Chen would come here."

When Ou Ningzi spoke, his voice was that of a clear, adult man, which was quite different from his youthful face.

His tone was gentle, like a hospitable host welcoming an old friend from afar. "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Chen's name, and seeing him today, I can see that it is indeed well-deserved. You have actually been able to cultivate a Cave Heaven Dao Platform in this desolate place."

Chen Lingxi met Ou Ningzi's gaze, thought for a moment, and returned the greeting.

"I have no grudge against you, senior. It's just that the Immortal Ranking is here, and I need to obtain Immortal Ranking spiritual essence in order to establish my Dao Foundation Realm," he said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Ou Ningzi smiled slightly and shook his head, "The Dao contest is just like this... It's a pity that you are Celestial Person, otherwise you could have become a disciple of my Southern Heaven Domain."

With your talent, if you were to receive careful nurturing from my Southern Heaven Domain, you would surely achieve great things in time."

"Unfortunately, there are still many causes and effects in this world, involving the Xuanmen sects, the True Lord Monarchs, and the Golden Grotto Dao Fruit!"

Fellow Daoist, it is destined that we are not destined to become fellow disciples.

"In that case, Ou Ningzi, please enlighten me!"

At this point in his speech, he suddenly flicked his sleeve.

The wide sleeves of the Daoist robe suddenly unfurled in the wind and snow, and an extremely chilling coldness surged from all directions.

The chill penetrated straight to the heart and mind, piercing the Dao Platform; it was extremely cold!

Suddenly, it began to snow heavily all around.

Chen Lingxi looked intently and saw that the snow was not falling from the sky, but rather was generated out of thin air from the surging spiritual energy around Ou Ningzi.

The snowflakes were a crystal blue color, each about the size of a palm, with sharp edges like knives. They swirled wildly in the air, making an extremely piercing sound as they pierced through it.

A terrifying aura emanated from Ou Ningzi.

His aura was deep and vast, like an abyss or the sea, completely different from his gentle and polite demeanor just now.

The smile vanished from Ou Ningzi's youthful face, replaced by a chilling, icy murderous intent.

"Fellow Daoist, let me see your Dao Platform! Let me see your great Divine Ability!"

His words fell into the Void, but the wind and snow seemed to carry his message, echoing in Chen Lingxi's ears.

The surrounding wind and snow fell on Ou Ningzi.

Countless crystal-blue snowflakes surged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing and transforming around him!

The body, which was originally the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, suddenly swelled up in that instant.

His bones cracked and his muscles bulged wildly, stretching his plain white Daoist robe until it ripped apart, revealing his skin underneath, which was as clear and translucent as ice crystals.

His body grew taller and taller, from a seven or eight-year-old child to a robust teenager, and then from a robust teenager to a towering giant.

This giant's body was entirely composed of extremely cold ice, standing several meters tall, its entire body as clear as crystal, gleaming brightly in the wind and snow.

He was surrounded by an extreme cold storm, with crystal blue snowflakes swirling wildly around him, each swirling froze the surrounding air into a thick layer of white frost.

This is the great Divine Ability of First Emperor Xiaomang Dao – [The Cold Mirror God]!

By activating this great Divine Ability, one can Spirit Transformation.

In the Cold Mirror God form, the caster's strength, defense, and the power of ice-based Divine Ability abilities all increase several times over.

Even breathing freezes the surrounding air, and stepping on the ground covers it with ice.

At this moment, the deity stood in the Void, and the extremely cold aura around him pressed down on Chen Lingxi.

He lowered his head, his clear, ice-crystal-like eyes falling on Chen Lingxi, a cold glint flashing in them.

With a wave of his hand, Ou Ningzi unleashed magical Divine Ability.

But then Cold Mirror God raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist!

The surrounding swirling blue snowflakes gathered wildly under his grasp, instantly transforming into an extremely cold ice sword several meters long.

The ice sword was crystal clear, with no carvings on its blade, yet it emitted a chilling, piercing light in the wind and snow.

With a single slash, the icy sword, imbued with a terrifying chill capable of freezing everything, descended upon Chen Lingxi.

Where the sword passed, countless fine ice crystals condensed in the air, cascading down from the sky like an ice crystal waterfall.

Chen Lingxi raised her head and looked at the ice sword that blotted out the sky, but there was no fear in her eyes.

He took a deep breath, and the Thunder Profound Root within his body suddenly lit up at that moment.

The Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly, and a torrent of spiritual energy surged into the Profound Root like water bursting its banks.

"Good timing," he murmured to himself.

Lightning flashed around his body.

At first, there were only a few very faint bolts of lightning, which slowly swirled around his body.

In the blink of an eye, it blazed brightly, with countless pale golden lightning bolts bursting forth from his body, surging, condensing, and compressing wildly around him.

He clenched his right hand in the Void, and the surging pale golden lightning gathered wildly under his grasp, instantly transforming into a lightning sword several meters long.

The lightning patterns flowed across the lightning sword, and with each flow, an extremely pure and domineering aura of lightning permeated the air.

At the same time, the lightning surrounding Chen Lingxi was expanding...

This is the Divine Ability of Thunder-Prison Heaven!

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Lingxi stepped forward, advancing instead of retreating, and suddenly slashed out with the Thunder Sword in her hand.

The two Killing Power Great Art collided with a deafening roar!

The great war has begun!

Two Divine Ability figures are battling it out on this icy plain!
