Zhen Buxu, Fang Que Laozu, Xin Xin Laozu, and Chunyang Zhenren have all joined the Yun Family Immortal Mansion, becoming honored cultivators of the Immortal Mansion.
However, they still maintain a degree of independence.
For instance, Zhen Buxu led all the survivors of the Tianji Sacred Land to join the Yun Family Immortal Mansion, establishing an independent faction named the "Tianji Tangkou" (Heavenly Mechanism Hall).
The Tianji Tangkou is nominally part of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion but possesses considerable autonomy. Under normal circumstances, the Yun Family Immortal Mansion does not interfere with the internal affairs of the Tianji Tangkou.
Zhen Buxu, as the Hall Master, essentially holds the same position as he did as the Grandmaster of the Tianji Sacred Land.
The situations of others, such as Fang Que Laozu and Xin Xin Laozu, are similar. They each led their disciples and followers to join the Yun Family Immortal Mansion as independent halls.
Now, with the Great Xin Dynasty fully invading the cultivation world and slaughtering various sects, many cultivators, finding themselves with no other options and unwilling to be enslaved by the Great Xin Dynasty, have chosen to join the Yun Family Immortal Mansion.
The Yun Family Immortal Mansion is becoming increasingly prosperous.
A gathering of sages, a multitude of experts!
Previously, some claimed the Yun Family Immortal Mansion would develop into the largest sacred land on the Central Continent, which was somewhat of a jest, an exaggeration.
But now, this statement seems to be gradually becoming a reality!
The Yun Family Immortal Mansion is becoming a supreme sacred land!
Tonight's "Decisive Battle at the Peak of Immortal Mansions" is signaling to everyone that the younger generation of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion possesses immense potential and a bright future!
This is a grand ceremony!
A ceremony not to be missed!
All the newly joined halls of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion have come to participate and spectate, creating an unprecedented spectacle.
As the appointed time arrived, the competition officially began!
Yun Tianping and Wang Xiaohu did not disappoint the crowd, presenting them with an incredibly spectacular and high-level battle!
Yun Tianping had only recently ascended to the Golden Core realm.
Wang Xiaohu, on the other hand, was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Yet, these two, one activating the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet and the other wielding the Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade, displayed explosive combat power and astonishing strength.
Their combat level directly surpassed the Golden Core realm, even reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm!
Many Nascent Soul cultivators present felt inferior in comparison.
They mused that if they were to participate, they might not necessarily be Wang Xiaohu and Yun Tianping's opponents.
The learning ability of the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet was freakishly powerful; it could even replicate the "Heaven and Man Unity" of a super prodigy, utterly insane!
Wang Xiaohu was not at a disadvantage either. The Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade exuded monstrous might, sharp and unparalleled, managing to fight the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet to a draw, neither gaining the upper hand.
The entire battle lasted over two hours, with neither side yielding, and the intensity escalating.
Initially, both Yun Tianping and Wang Xiaohu approached the match with the mindset of "competition second, friendship first," sparring mutually without going all out!
But as the fight progressed, the situation began to change!
The Heavenly Mechanism Puppet grew increasingly powerful, and the Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade became more ferocious.
By the end, the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet activated "Heaven and Man Unity," unleashing its full combat potential!
The Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade also completed its "three-stage unsealing," unleashing overwhelming demonic energy.
With the battle escalating to this point, both sides found themselves on a tiger's back, unable to dismount; they could only fight to the death.
This wouldn't do. If it continued like this, there was a high probability that Yun Tianping and Wang Xiaohu would perish together.
Fang Que Laozu and the other Nascent Soul cultivators could no longer sit idly by.
Although they had joined the Yun Family Immortal Mansion as independent halls, they had long considered themselves part of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion. They absolutely could not stand by and watch as two exceptionally talented young prodigies perished.
Fang Que Laozu was just about to intervene personally.
At this critical juncture, a sudden change occurred.
The entire Yun Family Immortal Mansion trembled slightly, and three streams of spiritual light shot up into the sky.
The gate of the Ancestral Master's Hall burst open, and Yun Tianzhong, the Little Spirit Monkey King, and Yun Zhaozhao, who had been in seclusion consolidating their cultivation, flew out.
They had emerged from seclusion!
The timing of these three individuals—or rather, two people and one monkey—emerging from seclusion coincided with Yun Tianping and Wang Xiaohu's life-or-death struggle, where they could have peris hed together at any moment.
Yun Tiankong and the Little Spirit Monkey King exchanged a glance, and with telepathic understanding, both attacked simultaneously.
Yun Tiankong flew towards Yun Tianping.
With a distant finger-point, he unleashed the Houtian Lingbao, the "Sword Tomb."
The three thousand swords embedded in the Sword Tomb chimed, unleashing sword energy that surged into the sky.
Instantly, the entire surrounding realm transformed into an "ocean of sword energy."
Sword energy crisscrossed, sharp and unparalleled!
The three thousand swords contained "three thousand sword intents," encompassing "three thousand sword techniques," making them all-encompassing and infinitely variable!
Even with its abilities, the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet couldn't simultaneously decipher all three thousand sword intents, and it was immediately suppressed by the "ocean of sword energy," unable to move.
On the other side, the Little Spirit Monkey King flew towards Wang Xiaohu.
Monkeys, after all, loved to bully the weak.
Indeed, Wang Xiaohu, now wielding the Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade, was considered "weak" by the monkey, someone who could be bullied.
Roar, roar, roar!
The Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade would not tolerate the monkey's provocation. Sensing the monkey's disdain, the Tiger Fiend Demonic Blade erupted, unsealing the "black tiger fiend" to its fourth stage!
Vast amounts of black fiendish energy surged into the sky like a towering pillar of smoke, ferocious and overbearing, unrivaled!
Roar!
A furious roar echoed from the depths of the "black towering pillar of smoke."
Immediately, a "black giant tiger" hundreds of feet tall, with an arrogant stride, slowly emerged.
The "Tiger Fiend True Form" had appeared!
The black giant tiger possessed an extraordinary aura, carrying the "ancient ferocity." With every step it took, it seemed capable of shattering the heavens and plunging the myriad worlds into ruin; it was terrifying to the extreme.
However, the black giant tiger's ferocity did not affect the Little Spirit Monkey King in the slightest.
The monkey bared its teeth and grinned, then shook its body...
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Immeasurable golden light erupted from its body.
Bloodline unsealed, Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol!
A "golden giant ape Dharma Idol" exceeding a hundred feet in height appeared.
Unlike ordinary Dharma Idols, the "golden giant ape Dharma Idol" was incredibly solid, its entire body existing in a state between semi-illusory and semi-substantial, containing unfathomable great power.
The golden giant ape Dharma Idol let out a roar and proactively charged forward, engaging the black giant tiger in a fierce battle.
Everyone expected a cataclysmic battle to erupt between the two, however...
