Chen Lingxi had already experienced countless battles back in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

Those who fought against him were initially just Qi Circulation Realm cultivators, then they became the Heavenward Third Floor, and later they became many Dao Foundation Realm cultivators.

Yet, among these figures, there are few weaklings.

Even those cultivators on the Heavenward Third Floor, with their extraordinary foundations and formidable combat power, still possess terrifying Killing Power, even if they are projections or Rebirth Realm in the Weiji Grotto-Heaven and do not have Spirit Artifact.

And this is especially true for those cultivators at the Dao Foundation Realm.

Even powerful figures like Bai Lingze, Yu Jiangwei, the Golden-Crowned Demon Lord, or Liu Chengfeng each possess extraordinary qualities.

Chen Lingxi then fought against such figures and stood out from the crowd, achieving third place on the Weiji Cave Heaven Immortal Ranking.

Those stronger than them are only Zhao Duanxuan, who is at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Realm, and Emperor Daye Ying Xian.

Now, he has come to this Great Xuanzhuo Realm, facing two Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivators who possess extraordinary supernatural Divine Ability and have Spirit Artifact at their disposal.

However, the pressure on Chen Lingxi was nowhere near Weiji Grotto-Heaven.

In addition, Chen Lingxi two years in seclusion, using the Immortal Husk as a foundation, and together with Lingji, who ranked third on the Immortal Ranking, he entered the Profound Root Wondrous Fruit Realm. His combat power has improved dramatically.

For these reasons, these two Dao Foundation Realm cultivators from Yellow Luminary Peak could only be described as utterly incompetent during Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi killed the two men very quickly without even using much of his power.

At this moment, his mind was racing. He scanned the Void with his Divine Sense, and his Dao Origin swept out, capturing the old cultivator's Hongdong Bag from the depths of the clouds. He felt even more at ease.

"I originally came to Yellow Luminary Peak only to investigate it and see what Yellow Luminary Peak Zhuo Jiaowu was all about."

But now it seems... perhaps this can solve the problem once and for all.

Chen Lingxi's black clothes fluttered gracefully, and clouds gathered beneath his feet.

He then soared into the clouds and continued flying deeper into the territory of Yellow Luminary Peak.

And on the main peak of Yellow Luminary Peak.

Zhuo Jiaowu sat opposite a female cultivator.

They were in a palace, towering high with shimmering green tiles and fluttering banners. The palace floor was paved with white jade, and there were many ornamental columns, each engraved with wisps of clouds, just like the great supernatural powers cultivated by the peak master of Huangyao Peak.

At this moment, the nun is drinking tea.

She was dressed in white, with an ethereal air about her. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and while her eyes appeared calm, they were actually cold and icy inside.

"When the envoy arrived, I should have greeted him together with the two elders of the peak."

Unfortunately, an uninvited guest arrived at the peak today, forcing the two elders to go and pay their respects. This is truly impolite."

The female cultivator shook her head slightly. "I have never cared about such formalities."

She set the tea aside and her gaze swept around the palace.

"The last time I came to collect tribute, Yellow Luminary Peak's main hall was far less extravagant. It seems that under Peak Master Zhuo's rule Yellow Luminary Peak is becoming increasingly prosperous."

A slight smile appeared on Zhuo Jiaowu's lips as he slowly flicked his sleeve.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept by, and numerous treasures appeared before the female cultivator.

Among them were many precious medicinal herbs, as well as several bottles of fragrant elixirs.

More often, however, are Spirit Stone.

Each Spirit Stone, about the size of a fingernail, exuded a misty aura, its pure Spiritual Qi seemingly transformed into radiance, constantly shimmering.

The azure glow filled the entire palace.

"Eight thousand Spirit Stone, all of extremely high purity; that should be enough for the cultivator to return and report."

Zhuo Jiaowu's smile widened as he gazed intently at the female cultivator.

The female cultivator nodded slowly upon seeing these valuable items.

"Yellow Luminary Peak is at its zenith, already ranking among the top five of the sixteen peaks under the command of Sun-Awakening Upper Peak."

Her cool voice finally revealed a hint of praise, and then she gently waved.

The treasure boxes containing the precious items immediately flew to her.

As a ring on her finger emitted a faint glow, the many treasure boxes vanished.

"Now that the tribute has been paid, I will not trouble the Peak Master any further." The female cultivator stood up. "By the way... Elder Liu Zhi asked me to tell you that Azure Pool Peak is now under his protection."

"Your Yellow Luminary Peak is not far from Azure Pool Peak. Elder, please look after Azure Pool Peak for him."

Zhuo Jiaowu's expression changed slightly.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his eyes, before standing up.

"As the elder gave the order, Yellow Luminary Peak naturally dared not disobey."

"Shangxiu, I've come to see you off."

Zhuo Jiaowu had just finished speaking and taken two steps forward when he suddenly stopped, his expression changing drastically!

He simply flicked his fingers slightly.

A Jade Slip slip flew out of thin air and unfolded before his eyes.

On that Jade Slip, two Dao Origin were slowly dissipating.

"Two elders..."

Zhuo Jiaowu's pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes instantly flashed with murderous intent.

Seeing Zhuo Jiaowu's loss of composure, the female cultivator knew something was wrong. Noticing the dissipation of the Dao Origin on the Jade Slip, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems this uninvited guest who has come to Yellow Luminary Peak is not someone to be trifled with..."

She frowned slightly, looking at the sea of clouds beyond the main peak of Yellow Luminary Peak: "Such audacity must not be someone other than Dragon-Offering... Is it someone from Blazing Bell Peak?"

While the Dragon-Offering Sect may not allow its nearly two hundred peaks to fight and contend with each other, it does not mean that outsiders can act recklessly within the Dragon-Offering Sect's territory.

Even within the entire Nine-Towers Land, Dragon-Offering Sect can be considered a colossal entity.

Not to mention these lower-ranking officials of ordinary strength.

Among the twenty-four peaks, there are more than twenty people who have Dao Foundation Perfection Stage.

Among the seven inner peaks, there are even Golden Grotto experts guarding them, not to mention the True Lord figure in the Dragon-Offering Main Sect who suppresses the fortune.

The entire Dragon-Offering Peak even contains many complete Cauldron Vessel, which shows how powerful it is.

In the Nine-Towers Land, sects stronger than the Dragon-Offering Sect are extremely rare.

How could an ordinary cultivator dare to provoke the Dragon-Offering Sect?

That is why the female cultivator from Sun-Awakening Upper Peak guessed that the person who came to Yellow Luminary Peak was from Blazing Bell Upper Peak.

The Sun-Awakening Upper Peak and Blazing Bell Upper Peak, have a long-standing feud, and fighting each other is a common occurrence.

"Peak Master, I'm here to help you gather some information," the female cultivator said after a moment's thought.

Zhuo Jiaowu's eyes flashed with murderous intent intent, but he was not blinded by anger or killing intent.

The newcomer was capable of killing two of Yellow Luminary Peak's elders, and the two elders even brought 18 Qi Circulation Realm cultivators who practiced combined attack formations, so their cultivation level must be quite high.

Although Zhuo Jiaowu was confident, he also knew that it would be unwise to act rashly.

"In that case, thank you for your guidance, Master Liu Mian." Zhuo Jiaowu bowed to Liu Mian.

Liu Mian nodded slightly, but then saw her right hand form a sword shape with her fingers and wipe across her brow.

Instantly, a series of profound Dao affinities flashed out from between his brows, and the ring on her right hand also shone brightly. The Void rippled, and then a wooden brown eye appeared.

It was, however, a Cauldron Artifact Fragment.

But then the brown eyes flew away and landed on the main peak of Yellow Luminary Peak, radiating a strange light.

Then, amidst the bursts of light, the brown eye suddenly opened.

Suddenly, a divine light flashed in his brown eyes and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

A few breaths later, the divine light returned and then hovered before the Cauldron Vessel, transforming into a curtain of light.

The light curtain unfolded.

Zhuo Jiaowu and Liu Mian looked up and saw a cloud of mist reflected on the light screen. Within the cloud of mist, a person dressed in black was walking on lightning and clouds, heading towards them!

This person looked extremely young, with handsome features, calm eyes, and a composed demeanor.

His black robes fluttered in the wind, but his Dao Origin was deeply contained within his body, making it impossible for Zhuo Jiaowu to discern its depth at a glance.

However, Liu Mian used the power of the Cauldron Vessel to see through the cultivation level of the person on the light screen.

"He is a Dao Foundation Realm figure who has achieved Wondrous Fruit enlightenment."

Liu Mian frowned. "However... I don't know who this person is? As far as I know, there is no such person as Zhuo Jiaowu on Blazing Bell Peak."

"Profound Root Wondrous Fruit!" Zhuo Jiaowu licked his lips, his eyes suddenly blazing with murderous intent: "Since it's just Profound Root Wondrous Fruit, there's no need to worry about its origin!"

"How dare you come to my Yellow Luminary Peak and kill two of my Dao Foundation Realm elders! I will make sure they never return!"

How precious are cultivators at the Dao Foundation Realm!

Even though Zhuo Jiaowu was powerful, he was ultimately all alone.

Yellow Luminary Peak lost two Dao Foundation Realm cultivators, and all his years of hard work and planning came to naught.

He even fears he won't have time to tend to the many spiritual fields Spirit Vein within the peak in the future; how could this not infuriate Zhuo Jiaowu?

Upon hearing Zhuo Jiaowu's words, Liu Mian was moved, and the Cauldron Artifact Fragment flew over and disappeared before her eyes.

"I also know that Peak Master Zhuo has a strong foundation and Spirit Artifact to rely on, so he is not afraid of any Dao Foundation Early Stage Establishment cultivators."

This person is very likely Non-Self from my Dragon-Offering Sect. If he is an outsider cultivator, I will naturally have to go and take a look."

Liu Mian's Divine Sense flowed.

Zhuo Jiaowu's mind became increasingly calm, and he bowed to Liu Mian: "In that case, I will trouble the envoy!"

The two were about to take off on a cloud.

Zhuo Jiaowu suddenly looked towards the distant clouds and gritted his teeth, saying, "You really have no fear of death! You killed Dao Foundation Realm cultivator from my Yellow Luminary Peak, yet you still dare to come to my Yellow Luminary Main Peak!"

Liu Mian also looked up.

But then they saw that the sea of clouds in the distance seemed to have been cleaved open by a sharp sword, and deep in the crevice, a young man stood with his hands behind his back above the clouds, soaring into the sky.

at the same time.

The surrounding Void suddenly darkened.

Streaks of lightning appeared out of nowhere, lying dormant within the sea of clouds.

The thunderous aura surged forth, and the killing intent rose.

In the young man's eyes, countless murderous intent intents surged forth, landing directly on Yellow Luminary Peak and on Zhuo Jiaowu's body.

"Zhuo Jiaowu?"

The young man stood on a cloud and asked a question.

Zhuo Jiaowu did not answer at all, but suddenly shone brightly, and his aura rose up brilliantly.

Countless clouds and mists flowed freely, transforming into giant cloud and mist figures. Spiritual Qi surged from these giants, and they suddenly opened their eyes, each eye bursting with spiritual light. This light then fell into the Void, forming a great array!

Thirty-six Cloud Giants!

A vast array enveloped an area spanning a thousand miles, trapping the youth in the clouds.

Dao Platform also appeared behind Liu Mian.

Her gaze was deep and focused, but a wisp of her Divine Sense drifted away and landed in the clouds and mist.

"What brings you here? This is Dragon-Offering Territory! Any outside cultivators who come to Yellow Luminary Peak to kill people will be exterminated by my Dragon-Offering Sect."

Standing in the clouds, Chen Lingxi remained calm, and a wisp of Divine Sense also flowed out!

"I am the Spirit-Bearing Daoist of Sun-Watching Peak. I have been traveling for sixty years and have returned today, specifically to kill Zhuo Jiaowu!"

Liu Mian's expression shifted slightly.

As an envoy of Sun-Awakening Upper Peak, she traveled among the sixteen lower peaks under Sun-Awakening Upper Peak's jurisdiction, and naturally knew about the grudges Sun-Watching Peak and Yellow Luminary Peak.

only...

"I don't recall ever hearing of a Spirit-Bearing Daoist on Sun-Watching Peak."

Liu Mian's eyes flickered, unsure whether to make a move. After a moment's thought, she sent out a wisp of her Divine Sense into the Jade Slip in the Hongdong Bag.

"This matter still needs to be reported to Master."

As the message was sent through the Jade Slip, Liu Mian looked up.

But then Zhuo Jiaowu's eyes revealed murderous intent, his aura was overwhelming, and he made a fierce move!
