Chapter 136: Ge Dongyi's Elder Brother

Chaos Demon Valley! It covers a vast area, stretching three thousand li east-west and over three hundred li north-south.

Inside, demon beasts are numerous, even late-stage second-rank demon beasts number over a dozen.

This is a positioning test point set up here by Mysterious Yellow City; it is not opened every year, only when the trial area rotates to this location is it opened.

Wang Ping was still over ten li away, yet he could already hear the faint roars from within.

They walked this way, stopping and going, covering eight hundred li in five double-hours.

The reason they were so slow is that these youngsters had practically fought their way all the way here.

Now each of them has slain two demon beasts; after seeing blood, their demeanor is no longer tender, and their eyes have grown sharp.

"Lan Dage! The Chaos Demon Valley is right ahead; should we rest a bit before entering?"

Wang Ping nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began restoring his stamina!

That's right; Wang Ping is currently restoring his stamina, and in the Spirit Realm, without reaching Nascent Soul, he cannot fly at all.

Thus, cultivators below Nascent Soul mostly travel on foot; those with money might buy a conveyance.

If they were in the Lower Realm, eight hundred li could be covered in at most a quarter of an hour.

Wang Ping hadn't felt the sensation of walking for a long time, which reminded him of the days when he would sprint with speed talismans pasted on his soles.

After half a double-hour, the rested group rose and entered Chaos Demon Valley.

………

"Lan Dage! At least leave one for us—you've already slain thirteen!"

"Yeah! Lan Dage, we've been in Chaos Demon Valley for a double-hour, and I've only slain one demon beast!"

"I haven't slain a single one?"

Crack!

After using Giant Wood Technique to pin down a wolf-like demon beast, Wang Ping skillfully gathered the materials.

Hearing the frustrated shouts from behind, Wang Ping couldn't help but smile and said, 'Quick hands get it, slow hands don't—blame your own slowness!'

Saying that, he continued forward to search for demon beasts.

The few behind exchanged glances and all shook their heads helplessly.

This Lan Dage's strength is terrifying; demon beasts that would take them at least a quarter of an hour to slay, he needs only ten breaths.

In fact, with Wang Ping's current strength, early-stage second-rank demon beasts are hardly worth noting.

Moreover, with the power of the Diamond Pestle and the Heaven Overturning Seal, dealing with these demon beasts is indeed easy.

Ahead, Wang Ping was about to look for demon beasts when he heard some commotion to his front-left—precisely the direction where Ye Ming and the others were hunting.

Wang Ping, who had intended to keep going forward, without hesitation changed course and rushed toward the front-left.

By the time he arrived, seven demon beast corpses already lay in the small river ahead.

Ye Ming, Liu Haodong, and their seven companions were facing off against thirteen people opposite them!

"Ye Ming! Know your place and scram—these demon beasts fled into our hunting grounds, were slain here by us, and the merit points have already been recorded to us; your pestering is useless!"

Liu Haodong exploded in anger, shouting: 'Bullshit! If we hadn't beaten it half to death, you could kill it in one strike, Ge Dongyi—you don't even piss to see your own virtue; do you think you can slay this demon beast? You think you're your brother Ge Hong!'

The young cultivator opposite, handsome but with thin lips, suddenly flushed red; his eyes, which had held mockery, instantly blazed with fury.

"Liu Haodong! You braggart, dare to look down on me? Seek death!"

Having said that, a crystal-clear, jade-green brush about two feet long suddenly appeared in his hand; gazing at the jade brush, Ge Dongyi gave a feral grin and said:

"'Today I'll let you see my power—Fix!'"

Wang Ping, standing in the forest, watched as Ge Dongyi swiftly wrote the character 'Fix' in the air with his jade brush; the character then blazed with light and swept toward Ye Ming and the others.

At that moment, Ge Dongyi was already continuing to write characters in the air above!

A killing intent-filled 'Death' character was about to be written by him.

Meanwhile, Ye Ming and the others seemed truly immobilized by a Freeze Technique, rooted to the spot, unable to move!

But Wang Ping clearly saw that Ye Ming, Liu Haodong, and the others were about to break free—yet there was no time, for the opposing 'Death' character had already been completed!

Wang Ping calmly tossed the Heaven Overturning Seal from his hand; as it left his palm, it caught the wind and grew, reaching exactly three zhang in size when it fell over Ye Ming and the others' heads.

Strands of crystalline light poured down, shielding Ye Ming and his seven companions within.

At that moment, the 'Death' character flew straight and struck squarely against the crystalline wall of the descending Heaven Overturning Seal!

Controlling the Heaven Overturning Seal, Wang Ping felt, as if from the void, a force laden with killing intent slamming hard into the seal's descending crystalline wall!

The power was still considerable; Wang Ping objectively assessed that, with this blow, few at Foundation Establishment could resist!

A thought stirred in Wang Ping's mind; the Heaven Overturning Seal trembled slightly, an invisible ripple spreading and slamming hard into the 'Death' character.

The result was predictable; even though the 'Death' character packed a punch, it could not withstand a single jolt from the Heaven Overturning Seal.

Under the astonished gaze of all, the 'Death' character reluctantly faded slowly into the air.

Opposite, Ge Dongyi looked grimly around and shouted, 'Who is interfering with this young master's affairs!'

But Ye Ming and the others' faces lit up with delight, and they all shouted in unison, 'Lan Dage!'

This uniform shout made Wang Ping feel somewhat unnatural; for a moment he thought he wasn't cultivating but mingling in society.

Snick! Snick! Snick!

Wang Ping walked out from the dense ancient forest,

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Everyone's gaze turned toward them; Ge Dongyi stared intently at Wang Ping, and upon seeing his face, he couldn't help but show puzzlement: 'Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?'

Lan?

Among the thirty-six great clans of Mysterious Yellow City, there seems to be no major clan of the Lan surname!

Or could it be those petty clans that don't even have a Spirit Transformation cultivator?

Or perhaps a family that once produced a Spirit Transformation cultivator who later fell?

Ge Dongyi is no fool either; the opponent shattered his Dao Word Technique with just a single magic treasure.

Just this point, among Xuanhuang City's peers, very few can achieve it; naturally, he cannot afford to provoke even one of those who can.

Now, suddenly another one has mysteriously appeared, something he doesn't know about, inevitably causing him some surprise.

"May I ask which family's disciple you are in Xuanhuang City?"

Ge Dongyi smiled and asked gently.

Wang Ping, having taken the Heaven-Reversing Seal back into his hand, hearing Ge Dongyi's question, did not respond but instead turned his gaze toward Liu Haodong.

Liu Haodong chuckled and said: "Lan Dage, he is a direct disciple of the Ge family, one of the thirty-six families of Xuanhuang City, and together with the Xiao, Zhang, Dong, Sun, Zhou, He families, and our Liu family, they are known as the Top Eight Families, because each of our clans has a late-stage Spirit Transformation patriarch seated!"

Saying this, Liu Haodong also wore a proud expression.

Wang Ping raised his eyebrows and sent a mental transmission: "Can he be killed?"

Liu Haodong almost choked to death; Lan Dage has such a killer instinct, so he hastily sent a mental transmission: "Cannot kill!"

He feared that as soon as he finished speaking, Ge Dongyi opposite would be cracked by Lan Dage.

"He's already stolen your things, yet you still can't kill him?" Wang Ping asked puzzledly.

Liu Haodong hastily explained: "Others can be killed, but this Ge Dongyi truly cannot be killed; he has an older brother who is extremely formidable! He also entered this trial, but of course he's not here for the trial—he's come for a treasure in the valley."

Wang Ping asked intriguingly: "How formidable is he?"

Liu Haodong thought and said: "His older brother wishes to cultivate the Five Elements simultaneously; he has already trained in Metal, Water, and Wood techniques, his spiritual power is three times that of peers at the same stage, his battle prowess is extremely formidable; it is said he once defeated a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator while at early-stage Foundation Establishment! One would expect he is now on the verge of breaking through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

Wang Ping's heart shuddered upon hearing this: "Five Elements simultaneous cultivation? Can the Five Elements even be cultivated together?"
