Twin Dimension Yin-Yang Mirror: Attaining immortality through the martial path
Chapter 593 - 487 All Phenomena Are Impermanent+ - 488 All Buddhas Dragon Elephant_2

As he spoke, Yu Changsheng had already sensed something amiss.

She swung her sword to strike horizontally, feeling immensely relieved; the opponent’s words were foul, it didn’t matter if she couldn’t out-curse them, but she could certainly out-fight them.

However, she hadn’t expected that the Inner Residence Elder wouldn’t show even a hint of hesitation. While rescuing the fallen, his move was a lethal technique; the roaring Powerful Water Qi descended like a tempest, condensing the surroundings into an impregnable prison of azure light rings.

At the same time, Elder Zeng Jing’s palm strike, carrying deep azure Yuan Qi, was about to crush down from above.

"Old thief, how dare you!"

A cry of extreme pain echoed from the distance.

A streak of sword light, like a mirage floating in the air, whistled forth...

Though the figure was still far away, the sword tip had already pierced into the palm of the hand.

Crack...

This sword strike lasted but a moment before it was bitten in two by the huge force, the azure palm paused, transforming into a pitch-black shadow, and pressed down again with a thunderous roar.

"Thousand Mile Travel Immortal, mere trivial skills," scoffed Elder Zeng Jing as he raised his eyebrows, giving a disdainful look at the white-bearded old man leaping towards him like a flying monkey.

He knew, of course, who the newcomer was.

Apart from Sect Leader Master Yun Tai who was in charge of external matters among the peaks, there was only one Supreme Elder who was not well-received — Su Youxian.

Back then, it was he who strongly opposed this man entering the Inner Residence of the Heavenly Cave; how could he not recognize him now?

Moreover, his foundational strength was not just a notch above that of Su Youxian; it had already solidified and sprouted golden patterns, vaguely beginning to gain consciousness. Even if Su Youxian, together with Master Yun Tai, were to intervene, they might not be able to stop his attack.

However, because of this delay, Yu Changsheng had already fashioned her swords into wings and sliced open a path, retreating backward. In the blink of an eye, she had retreated thirty zhang.

"You won’t escape, killing a fellow disciple and harboring murderous intent, how could you be easily forgiven?"

Elder Zeng Jing bellowed, his palms forming a circle, and before the Ancestor Master Hall a huge azure whirlpool spanning thirty zhang in diameter appeared. To everyone present, the plaza seemed to have sunk into the abyss of the sea.

As the whirlpool materialized,

Master Yun Tai and Su Youxian, both of the True Martial Realm, lost control and were swept away by a massive repelling force.

The elders and disciples who were closer were also sent flying uncontrollably like kites with broken strings.

Su Lianxue cried out in pain: "Junior sister!"

She had seen that unlike the others who were repelled by the waves, only Yu Changsheng seemed to be snagged by an invisible line, her figure stalled mid-flight, being drawn toward the whirlpool, toward Elder Zeng Jing’s palms with a howling sound.

"Hm, not bad, arriving just in time."

Suddenly, a light chuckle sounded in everyone’s ears.

Within the whirlpool tinged with azure light, a shadow inexplicably appeared.

The shadow was laughing unrestrainedly, its movement technique extremely fast.

Like a sharp blade, it tore through the vast whirlpool, whipping up a wild wind and heading straight for the interior of the Ancestor Master Hall.

As it neared the entrance, the shadow’s right arm extended, its fingers formed a claw, reaching forward to grab.

Whoosh...

The hurricane rolled back like a tide, and as if it had eyes, it lifted the grey stone wall, which was as large as a table, off the Ancestor Master Hall; dotted with Spiritual Light, the patterns on the wall resembling fish and birds moved restlessly.

"Preposterous."

From the appearance of the figure in black, to the breaking of the whirlpool, to the sweeping wind grabbing the stone wall bearing the "True Kunpeng Form Diagram," it all happened in an instant.

With a blink of an eye, everyone saw the shadow about to succeed.

Inside and out, the thousands present all revealed looks of horror.

The internal strife within the Inner Residence and the Outer Peak, though it broke out abruptly and fiercely, was an internal squabble, and regardless of the outcome, it wouldn’t damage the Cloud Water Sect’s reputation.

But if an outsider managed to steal the True Kunpeng Form Diagram set up by the founding ancestor in the Ancestor Master Hall right in front of thousands, it would be a complete disgrace...

Not to mention the substantial loss of Cloud Water Sect’s unique skills and the convenience of breaking through to the True Martial Realm...

The incident itself would surely be a laughing stock for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Even the elders and disciples of the mighty Cloud Water Sect, one of the Four Great Immortal Sects, would hang their heads in shame.

The figure in black had a well-proportioned body, and one could only tell it was a man; not only was his head covered with a black cloth, but his face and eyes were also tightly wrapped. However, the cloth on top of his head was somewhat flat, suggesting he was either lacking in hair or was bald.

The semi-transparent grey stone wall was about to fall into the "thief’s" hands.

Zeng Jing had become frantic and no longer concerned himself with Yu Changsheng.

He turned and pounced forward, a grey, hazy dagger appearing from within his sleeve.

As soon as the blade was drawn, the Divine Will as heavy as the Abyss Sea had already converged upon it, thunderously slashing at the back of the black-clothed person’s neck.

Meanwhile, the four True Inheritance holders inside the Ancestor Master Hall were all stunned.

Without a second thought, they all cried out and rushed forward with their weapons in hand.

Even Wen Yuan, who had lost an arm, was no exception.

He was in excruciating pain from the loss of his limb and his mind was slightly dizzy, but as soon as he thought about the loss of his opportunity should the True Kunpeng Form Diagram be stolen, the pain vanished.

He simply leapt up, his left arm transforming into a sword, and struck out with a thunderous blast, joining the three other red-eyed brothers to form the Four Phases formation.
