Immortal Father
Chapter 167 - 167 68 An Additional Test 23rd Update

167: Chapter 68: An Additional Test [23rd Update] 167: Chapter 68: An Additional Test [23rd Update] The Seal was like a mountain, and the spiritual pressure shook thousands of miles.

Even at the main battlefield of the Royal City, a hundred miles away, the group of demons fighting against the Immortals was startled by the sudden appearance of the great seal.

But before they could get a clear look, the great seal vanished into thin air, leaving only the still trembling earth and the impeccably clear sky above the square city.

The demons were terrified;

The Immortals fell silent.

“An Innate Spiritual Treasure?”

“No, it doesn’t feel like it; it seems like a common Spiritual Treasure, lacking the Innate Dao Charm.”

“There might be some expert lurking around.”

“We’ve already come this far today, we are about to succeed!

Everyone, make your move quickly!”

The old demons of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, who had originally been hiding in the clouds, now revealed their true forms and began to assault the grand formation below.

After the appearance of the great seal, the war outside the Royal City did not cease; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

As if something extremely precious was hidden here, the demons did not immediately flee despite the threat that had appeared.

While the old demons were attacking the city’s protective formation, they also did not forget to remotely probe the area where the great seal had appeared;

But in the senses of these old demons, there were no experts there.

The demons they had sent out – the tiger, eagle, and fish – were merely to distract the Immortals of Wanyun Peak, making it easier to break through the defensive formation of the Royal City.

At this moment, the tiger and eagle demons met with a fatal destiny, and the fish demon was besieged by seven or eight Immortals, on the verge of collapsing.

The old demons cast a glance at the square city, their eyes filled with doubt.

…

Meanwhile.

Li Ping’an was crouching behind the parapet, outwardly very calm, but within, his Dao heart was raising tumultuous waves.

Not a trace of Mana consumed!

When he had activated that great seal just now, he had not used any Mana!

With just a slight gesture, he had experienced the power to move mountains and fill seas!

When the great seal unfolded, it appeared like white jade, storing vast Spiritual Power, and within the seal seemed to be an entire world; on its surface were intricately layered carvings of mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, the Peaks and Immortal Realms.

The mere might of the treasure could easily crush to death a demon of True Immortal capabilities;

If a Heavenly Immortal or a Golden Immortal were to wield that great seal, wouldn’t they sweep through everything with ease?

No wonder Qi Cultivators all covet Spiritual Treasures, the augmentation in combat strength a single Spiritual Treasure provides is massive!

Of course, the Dao Realm is the foundation; without the Dao Realm, there is no longevity.

It’s only because Yun Zhongzi, the great senior, crafted it, that this acquired Spiritual Treasure could possess such power.

‘I’ve seen a similar seal in the ancient texts…’

Li Ping’an tried hard to recall, and soon he thought of the Treasure Seal in the hands of Guang Chengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, as described in the ancient books.

The Heaven-Overturning Seal?

Isn’t this the Heaven-Overturning Seal recorded in the ancient texts?

But not quite right.

The Heaven-Overturning Seal of legend, made from part of Mount Buzhou, could kill a Heavenly Immortal with just a knock and seriously injure a Golden Immortal with a touch, its power far surpassing that of the great seal he had just used.

But it looked incredibly similar…

Li Ping’an suddenly raised his eyebrows and chuckled silently.

He had nearly forgotten that the esteemed senior who brought him here today possessed a miraculous ‘professional skill.’

Yun Zhongzi, the strongest Artifact Refiner between heaven and earth, the master of top-notch counterfeit items, ahem, the master of ‘custom orders’ in mythological stories!

The great seal he had just activated must undoubtedly be the [Heaven-Overturning Seal・Custom Order・Trial Version with Three Uses].

It’s a pity it could only be used three times.

Li Ping’an looked up at the sky, secretly bowed to the hidden Yun Zhongzi above, and sincerely gave a thumbs up.

Yun Zhongzi, concealed in the clouds, smiled with his eyes squinting, and stroked his beard.

With the removal of the three demons here and the appointment of a fourth demon heading towards death, the examination was complete.

Just as Yun Zhongzi was about to take Li Ping’an back, an Elemental Immortal of the Wanyun Sect hurried into the protective formation.

Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi didn’t mind waiting a little longer.

The Elemental Immortal called out:

“Ping’an!

Are you injured?”

“Elder Gao Xu!”

Li Ping’an made a gesture, inviting the elder to crouch down with him, and whispered:

“Thank you for your concern, Elder, I’m fine.”

The high-ranking elder named Gao Xu, a middle-aged man with a beardless white face, well-built and not very tall, with a Longsword in his hand still dripping with demon blood.

Gao Xu scrutinized Li Ping’an carefully and sighed with relief.

Elder Gao Xu asked, “Ping’an, what are you doing here?

And why are you wearing a mask?”

“This is a trial given to me by the Ancestor, to send me here to fight against these demons!”

Li Ping’an whispered:

“I was afraid of being recognized and taken to threaten my father, so I thought it would be better to be cautious.”

Gao Xu’s expression turned grave, and he asked urgently, “Is the Ancestor here?”

“He should be,” said Li Ping’an, looking toward the dark clouds to the south, “The Ancestor is probably hidden somewhere, confronting the experts from the Demon Race.”

Logically speaking, in the battle between the Demon Race and the Human Race, someone like Daoist Kongming, a seasoned warrior of the Human Race, would certainly not stand aside.

Not to mention that Yun Zhongzi was also strolling nearby.

The only reason Daoist Kongming couldn’t appear right now must be that there was also a Golden Immortal Realm expert hidden on the side of the demons, and the two sides were in a standoff.

Li Ping’an also thought of the giant crocodile that had attacked him just now.

Exorcising demons comes with risks, and without the seal, one must be cautious.

The giant crocodile was truly miserable; the great seal expanded right inside its mouth, using its weakest area to hard withstand a hit from a few of Yun Zhongzi’s proudest treasures.

Gao Xu’s eyes filled with emotion, and he whispered, “Ping’an, if you hadn’t come, I fear this city of mortals would’ve suffered a disaster.”

“Speaking of which,” Li Ping’an asked, “does the Elder know why these demons suddenly attacked here?”

“We had previously captured a great demon and burned it with true fire until only a remnant soul was left, and under duress, it divulged some information,” Gao Xu sighed.
