Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1022: The Battle of the Dao

"Palace Master?"

Fang Xi and the others were all startled.

"The Second Palace Master of Beichen Immortal Palace, isn’t that ’Starfire Scattersman’?"

Yu Xiu stood up with a shocked expression, "That’s a cultivator who has already achieved True Immortal Perfection and condensed a Void Platform. How did someone injure him to this extent? Even his Origin Soul has been captured?"

His Divine Thought swept over the bronze lamp, and then he said, "This Origin Soul is clear in texture and carries starlight, indeed it is the unique cultivation of the Beichen Immortal Palace, and the aura is also matching... it really is Starfire Scattersman!"

"So the Second Palace Master of Beichen Immortal Palace is only worth five hundred beams of starlight..."

Xuan Qing whispered, only to be glared at by Zhang Danshi beside him, "Do you want to die? Some of us still want to live..."

"Something is not right about this situation, Brother Yu, should we leave quickly?"

Fang Xi’s brows, however, knitted together.

By normal logic, this was likely a sign of impending trouble.

He never liked rushing to the forefront to watch the action; if splashed with blood on his shoes, that would be too unjust.

"Indeed... we should not stay long at a place of trouble."

Yu Xiu tapped his wooden staff, and green light immediately enveloped those around.

Fortunately, this grand auction involved direct handovers, so there was no need for a transaction afterward, saving a lot of trouble.

He still had ’Star Dew’ on him, and with the situation turning chaotic, naturally, he was most concerned.

"Let’s go!"

Immediately, there were many others who chose to leave just like Fang Xi and his group.

There were also some who weren’t afraid of death and stayed behind to watch the excitement, probably all being Externalizations.

"Starfire?"

Upon seeing this scene, the Beichen Palace Lord’s expression changed subtly, and he flicked his sleeve.

Countless beams of starlight converged, the laws of stars rippled, trying to capture that bronze lamp.

"Where are the star guards?"

At the same time, he shouted angrily, commanding the star guards to act and surround the private box from which the bronze lamp was brought forth.

The star guards of Beichen Immortal Palace, recognized as the foremost battle strength in the Beichen Immortal Domain, were a force capable of suppressing the entire Immortal Realm.

Even without a Prime Taoist Master taking action, just by wielding these Ascending Immortals, they could flatten any school within the Immortal Realm.

At this point, however, the face of the Beichen Palace Lord did not show a trace of triumph; rather, it was filled with an indescribable solemnity.

Those who dared to slap the face of Beichen Immortal Palace in public probably had their reliance.

The biggest possibility was...

"A Prime Taoist Master?!"

Inside the private box, Zi Yin Daozi exclaimed in shock, and summoned his chariot, "Go!"

Roar! Roar!

Many immortal birds and beasts roared simultaneously, a myriad of lights flew out, directly overturning the dome of the Beichen Palace!

At this moment, Zi Yin Daozi thought only of his own escape, showing no concern for the face of Beichen Immortal Palace.

Almost in an instant, countless immortals turned into Escape Light and fled, causing the ’Future Star Destiny Treasure Array’ to be shattered.

This Great Array had not been used to attack the enemy but was destroyed by the guests invited by Beichen Immortal Palace itself!

’Heh heh... If this was before the celebration, perhaps many immortals would have stayed to help defend, giving face to Beichen Immortal Palace...’

’But previously, atop the altar, Beichen Immortal Palace took liberties in probing the Origin Souls of many immortals, already incurring public anger... With everyone already holding back their rage, now the stage is set, it immediately erupted, leaving Beichen Immortal Palace unable to do anything...’

A thought crossed Fang Xi’s mind, with no intention of turning back for another look.

Like the fleeing immortals, the one who dared to disrupt Beichen Immortal Palace’s event certainly had their backing, likely another Prime Taoist Master too.

When two tigers compete, the nearby flowers and grass would suffer from the damage.

It’s fine to watch the excitement, but one must not put themselves at risk.

Even Externalizations require many treasures and long periods of Light and Time to condense!

’Hmm... My cultivation of the Earth Immortal Undying Skills, combined with the Divine Skill of One Becomes Three Clears, is indeed different... but being antisocial isn’t good either.’

Fang Xi complained internally. Just as he flew out of Beichen Palace, he saw numerous immortal birds and beasts pulling a chariot out, with a somewhat hasty and panicked air.

’Is that Zi Yin Daozi? Yinshan Assembly...’

His eyes darkened slightly, but he had no intention of intercepting to kill.

Zi Yin Daozi was almost a Prime Taoist Master, and he might have a life-saving treasure given by Lord Yin Yang on him, making him impossible to take down. Rashly showing hostility was not worth the risk.

’It’s just that I didn’t expect this Daozi to be rather inconsiderate in his actions, being the first to dismantle the stage of Beichen Immortal Palace... Seems like he didn’t take this small place’s powers too seriously...’

’Indeed, after all, once he succeeds in Zhendao, he will be a Prime Taoist Master on his own.’

As Fang Xi was silently criticizing, the Beichen Palace behind him suddenly stirred!

A milky way descended from above the nine heavens, in an instant reducing the entire Beichen Palace to dust!

Within this milky way, a tall and majestic silhouette emerged.

His garment and crown seemed to be completely condensed from the laws of stars, each movement carrying an unstoppable might.

All the starlight converged onto one being!

’This is the might of Combine Taoist?’

’Indeed far surpassing ordinary immortals...’

This was Fang Xi’s first time seeing a Prime Taoist Master take action, and he could only feel the surroundings getting incredibly oppressive, as if even the Void had become much denser.

And the next moment, the figure enveloped in endless starlight suddenly expanded, instantly becoming gigantic; in his hand, he was holding someone—it was the Beichen Palace Lord!

"Green Cloud..."

The Prime Taoist Master of Beichen Immortal Palace let out a sound like a tremor through heaven and earth.

"Qing Yunzi? That prodigious figure who defied the heavens in the history of the human race?"

Fang Xi felt a stir in his heart, recalling the content he had just seen in the books.

"After being wanted, not only did he not perish along with his path, but instead he became a Prime Taoist Master and came back for revenge? Indeed... that’s what a protagonist does!"

A blue Celebrating Cloud shot up into the sky, followed by countless liberating immortal lights cascading down.

The immortal light fell on one of the star guards, who happened to be Meng Fei. An incredulous look immediately appeared on his previously confused face: "I... I’m free?"

"How dare you?"

The Prime Taoist Master from the Beichen Immortal Palace roared in fury as numerous stars trembled and fell, creating a meteor shower in the void.

Each meteor possessed terrifying power capable of annihilating immortals!

"Since my ascension, all who witness my Celebrating Cloud shall attain great freedom and ease..."

Within the blue Celebrating Cloud, only a voice as clear as jade rang out.

Countless liberating immortal lights were scattered, touching the foreheads of the star guards.

Whether it was Ao Yan, Feng Huang from the Monster Clan, other Sky Demons, or even human race members... they were all overjoyed. With a flash of light, they shattered their blue armors, exclaiming, "Ha ha... we are finally free."

Roar!

A Dragon Chanting was heard.

A dragon, as if traversing light and time, appeared and swam toward the distance, even looking back to curse, "Beichen Immortal Palace, Ao will certainly repay this debt one day!"

Chirp chirp!

Feng Huang transformed into a gigantic Five-Colored Phoenix and directly fled through the void.

The look in its eyes before leaving was also filled with deep meaning.

"Since my ascension, those who stand under my Celebrating Cloud shall not be harmed by any laws..."

The next moment, the clear voice like jade sounded again.

The blue Celebrating Cloud stretched out like a canopy, supporting a piece of the sky.

Countless flickering stars fell upon the blue canopy, which slightly rotated and neutralized numerous stars.

Then, an inexplicable Power of Rules surged forth, tangling with the stars’ rules.

"Today marks the first day that ’Ascension Alliance’ has taken full control of the Beichen Immortal Domain!"

"All Ascending Immortals are welcome to join the Ascension Alliance."

The voice of Qing Yunzi, or Lord Green Cloud, sounded once more.

He put aside past grudges and even saved members of the Monster Clan and Demon Clan. These scattered star guards would definitely owe him a favor; it was possible that most would join the ’Ascension Alliance’.

Not to mention, the Earth Immortal Realm was just one of the many Medium Thousand Worlds corresponding to the Beichen Immortal Domain!

After liberating so many ’star guards’, can you imagine how terrifying the resulting tide would be?

Fang Xi found it almost unimaginable.

...

"Madness, madness!"

"Quick, let’s go!"

He and a group of immortals rushed into the Ice Snow Palace, not having time to care for the other disciples, and immediately activated this war Immortal Weapon.

The Ice Snow Palace stirred up endless snowstorms and transformed into a streak of light, shooting out of the Star Field Square.

"Master..."

Fang Xian approached Fang Xi, his eyes filled with concern: "What was that?"

"The Beichen Immortal Palace is probably in a bad situation!"

Xuan Qing was astounded: "It’s widely known that the Beichen Immortal Palace enslaved many Ascending Immortals... Now that these immortals have regained their freedom, the palace will likely suffer a backlash..."

To put it bluntly, the Ascending Immortals’ foundations and talents might completely surpass those of the disciples cultivated by the Beichen Immortal Palace itself.

If their own Prime Taoist Master was still around, then they might suppress this.

But it just so happened that among these Ascending Immortals, a Prime Taoist Master had emerged!

The situation in the Beichen Immortal Palace instantly became precarious.

"Finally... we’ve escaped."

The void shook, and accompanied by countless snowstorms, the Ice Snow Palace emerged through the Space Time Turbulence into the outside world.

Yu Xiu took a deep breath and then, looking at the many cracks on the walls of the Ice Snow Palace, his expression darkened: "Beichen Immortal Domain is about to descend into chaos..."

Fang Xian had already forgotten how to speak, surrounded by walls in the main hall of the Ice Snow Palace as clear as crystal, allowing him to vividly see the scene of a galaxy and a piece of blue cloud clashing behind them.

"Ah!"

The next moment, his face showed a hint of intoxication; he suddenly covered his eyes, and blood tears flowed down through the gaps between his fingers...

"The confrontation between two Prime Taoist Masters is a divine struggle! With your current realm being insufficient, rashly watching can lead to accidental injuries from the Power of Rules..."

With a wave of his sleeve, Fang Xi enveloped him in a Blue Light and healed Fang Xian’s injuries: "If it weren’t for the protection of the Ice Snow Palace Immortal Weapon, just a Mahayana approaching could result in either becoming a streak of starlight or a piece of blue cloud..."

"Thank you, Master," Fang Xian immediately bowed his head.

"Not just Mahayana, even we immortals dare not get involved in a divine struggle..."

Yu Xiu piloted the Ice Snow Palace, flying tens of thousands of miles in one breath. His face grew even more solemn: "With the Beichen Immortal Domain falling into chaos, those many immortals may covet the treasures we hold... Our return journey is unlikely to be peaceful."

The collapse of the Beichen Immortal Palace would indeed cause complete disorder; anything could happen!

Moreover, among their group, they had a drop of ’Star Dew,’ a treasure that could attract the attention of a True Immortal at the peak of their power!

"Indeed... it’s a bit troublesome."

Fang Xi murmured, his Divine Consciousness already sensing the approach of a few obscure presences...
