"Th-this... did it really work?"
Zuo Shenzong was so shocked he stuttered.
That saber, which Can Sutian had just barely touched, was instantly sent flying away.
But in Xu Yang’s grasp, it was utterly silent—obedient and tame, not a ripple of unrest remaining.
"What immortal inheritance has he actually obtained? Is it somehow connected to this place?"
Unimaginable!
Can Sutian muttered, "This kid was born in Daqian, yet he obtained an immortal inheritance—truly astounding; the way he has progressed seems fated, as if by heaven’s will."
"Ancient Immortal, Demon Immortal!"
"He must have received Demon Immortal inheritance, so that’s why he said he felt repulsed by that Token. No doubt, that Token is an item of the Ancient Immortal faction!"
"We’re so close to the Spirit Realm here. I imagine the inheritance here came from a formidable Demon Immortal who once fell at this very spot!"
Everyone’s gaze flickered, deeply shocked!
Can Sutian’s speculation was not faulty.
But even Xu Yang himself was unsure about the origins of the inheritance he had received.
Still, although the powers that once existed here weren’t weak, he felt the inheritance of the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture was even more incredible!
A twelve-grade Immortal Foundation!
Far beyond anything an ordinary Saint Immortal, or even a Daluo Immortal, could have created!
"I wonder what secrets this saber truly holds? If it cannot match that Ancient Immortal Token..." Shi Feng’s expression grew grave.
At this moment, Xu Yang stood motionless, as if he had entered the world inside the saber, accepting its inheritance—calm as a still well.
Can Sutian said, "Make use of the time; before Yun Zheng appears, raise your strength and refine the Immortal Foundation."
The others all nodded.
There was no other option left now.
To the side, Xiao Ming’s aura was soaring rapidly beneath the light of the giant monument.
Xu Yang, meanwhile, stood holding the saber, as if in a dream!
Elsewhere.
Scores of people gathered together, cultivating madly.
Time passed quietly by.
Two days later.
A gust of wind and thunder suddenly roared, shattering the tranquility.
Everyone opened their eyes at once, all instantly sensing an unfathomably terrifying pressure.
The wind howled wildly, shaking the mountains and wilderness.
The massive mountain peak trembled unceasingly beneath the force of this aura.
The strongest among them—Can Sutian, Shi Feng, and Zuo Shenzong—all turned pale, hearts pounding frantically, terror etched in their faces as they looked down below.
Whoosh, whoosh!!
Two figures shot forward, one following the other, like bolts of lightning.
In the blink of an eye, they landed atop the mountain peak.
It was none other than Yun Zheng and Saint Monarch Nantian!
Yun Zheng’s aura was like a startled swan, piercing all corners of the void, chilling the soul.
"True Immortal?"
Can Sutian gasped aloud, muttering.
Yun Zheng fixed his gaze on Can Sutian, giving a faint smile: "Correct, it is indeed the Realm of True Immortality!"
Boom!
He swept his hand into the sky with a casual gesture.
The void twisted, wild waves lashed out.
An awe-inspiring force flooded the summit, shattering boulders and rocks, shaking the world itself!
That might utterly exceeded the crowd by dozens of times!
So fearsome it bred dread in all who saw it!
Everyone was swallowed by despair.
"Is it that Token?"
"Hahaha, that is the fabled Ancient Immortal Order—even within the Immortal Domain it is a peerlessly precious treasure; with the Ancient Immortal Order, one can directly step into the Realm of True Immortality!"
"Xu Yang, oh Xu Yang, you handed over such a treasure so willingly—this old man should thank you!"
Yun Zheng was trembling with excitement, laughing heartily.
His gaze swept to the giant monument and Xiao Ming, and his smile widened: "And there is yet a second Ancient Immortal Order. So many of you failed to obtain it; truly, fortune favors my Five Elements Celestial Realm!"
Two Ancient Immortal Orders—he and Xiao Ming would each take one: two True Immortals!
Who could possibly challenge them?
"Damn it, they’ve killed all the others," said Saint Monarch Nantian, his face suddenly darkening.
"No matter!"
Yun Zheng didn’t care at all!
He looked up at Xu Yang, standing atop the summit, frowning slightly.
Xu Yang’s condition, along with the saber in his hand, struck him as exceedingly strange.
With a flicker of thought, Yun Zheng suddenly reached out with a palm.
"Stop!"
Shi Feng roared in fury.
Cen Xinghou instantly summoned the Immortal Coffin.
Many figures flitted atop the coffin, channeling their immortal power into the Ancient Immortal patterns on its surface.
But Yun Zheng’s speed was simply too great.
His palm shot out in an instant.
Just as it was about to touch Xu Yang, the saber suddenly rang out—’clang’!
Boom!
The whole Beili Immortal Mountain shook from end to end.
The terrifying saber energy erupted, flooding the sky.
Bam!
The palm shadow shattered, Yun Zheng’s face changed as he abruptly retreated.
The blade light slowly faded, and the mountain peak returned to its former stillness.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Just what kind of treasure is that?"
Yun Zheng was shaken to his core.
Even with his power as a True Immortal, he could barely withstand it.
His expression shifted repeatedly; he glanced sidelong at Xiao Ming and Saint Monarch Nantian, his eyes narrowing.
"This saber is indeed extraordinary, but if it can hold off one True Immortal, can it withstand two, or even three?"
Yun Zheng sneered, turning to look down upon the masses: "Those who rely on the Ancient Immortal Order to ascend to true immortality stand head and shoulders above the rest; such ones can channel others into immortality!"
"Nantian, let me grant you immortality—are you willing?"
Saint Monarch Nantian stared in shock.
Grant me immortality?
His first thought was not suspicion, but, if you make me immortal, would I not fall under your control?
"Rest assured, Granting someone immortality does not mean controlling them. Though their strength will be slightly less, being drawn into true immortality by an Ancient Immortal is to belong to the Ancient Immortal side," Yun Zheng saw right through Saint Monarch Nantian’s doubt, speaking calmly.
Saint Monarch Nantian gritted his teeth and nodded suddenly.
Even if Yun Zheng was lying, he had no choice.
Refuse?
The consequences are self-evident!
Yun Zheng smiled, moving his fingers in a spell-gesture.
Whoosh!
An illusory shadow of the Ancient Immortal Order appeared before him, reflecting the giant monument’s phantom, and it flashed, enshrouding Saint Monarch Nantian like lightning.
Boom!
Heaven and earth trembled.
Vast immortal energy surged forth, pouring into Saint Monarch Nantian’s body.
The Ancient Immortal Order and monument’s apparition gradually condensed around him.
Saint Monarch Nantian convulsed uncontrollably, his expression twisted with pain.
Soon, though, his eyes brimmed with wild, disbelieving joy.
He was truly soaring—and fast.
In a blink, he could already sense the threshold of True Immortality.
Whoosh, whoosh!!
Streams of immortal light condensed into strange immortal patterns within the body under the Ancient Immortal Order.
The immortal light within him visibly morphed in real time, transforming toward an immortal foundation.
At this moment Saint Monarch Nantian was like a dazzling immortal rainbow.
Of course, his transformation was far less than that of Xiao Ming.
The Ancient Immortal Order and monument here were but shadows—phantoms.
One real, one illusory, and only a tenth or so of the former’s power!
But that charge toward true immortality was absolutely real.
Can Sutian and the others reeled from the horror.
Granting someone immortality... it was simply monstrous.
The Ancient Immortal Order—such a supreme treasure was beyond imagination.
The key was, there seemed to be only two, and both were now in the enemy’s hands.
Yun Zheng looked at them with a mocking smile: "Thinking to rely on that Immortal Coffin? The coffin is no doubt remarkable, but without a True Immortal to wield it, the protective power you can muster—how long can it truly withstand me?"
"Just watch!"
He suddenly pointed at Saint Monarch Nantian.
Boom!
The illusory Ancient Immortal Order and monument phantom on Nantian’s body disappeared, absorbed completely within him.
His aura exploded, breaking beyond all shackles, shaking the heavens.
Radiant immortal light burst from his body.
Vaguely there appeared a sublime lotus throne of immortal light.
Three tiers and six petals!
"A second-grade Immortal Foundation!"
"Second grade! Hahahaha—I truly have ascended to the Realm of True Immortality!"
"Not the slightest discomfort—Yunzheng, you did not deceive me!"
"Many thanks, Yunzheng!"
Saint Monarch Nantian, feeling the changes within, was trembling with excitement; he bowed respectfully to Yun Zheng.
Though it was merely a second-grade Immortal Foundation, he was more than satisfied.
Yun Zheng smiled serenely, gazing down: "If anyone is willing to submit, I can grant them true immortality; oh, but hurry—channeling someone into immortality takes tremendous amounts of immortal energy. Though the energy here is abundant, even with my current strength, I can only grant it to seven or eight more people at most!"
"And as for those unwilling to submit: death!"
