Chapter 189

Hundred Nations Alliance Headquarters.

On a mountain peak about three thousand zhang high, a vast expanse of white snow! No living beings tread here; year-round only the gale winds howl!

But on this three-thousand-zhang high peak sits a burly cultivator wearing purple battle armor, cross-legged; no matter how the gale winds blow, this cultivator remains unmoved!

Just then, a message-transmitting jade slip flew from that direction, speeding straight toward the cultivator!

Pa!

The cultivator placed two fingers on it, pinching it in his hand, and a voice transmitted from the jade slip:

"War Lord! Wang Ping has already appeared; in three months, on Longevity Peak of the Yunluo Mountain Range, he challenges the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hundred Nations Alliance!"

This cultivator is none other than the War Lord, Iron Battle, the third strongest in combat strength among the alliance's cultivators, aside from a few Void Reversal elders!

"Hahaha! Indeed, he's the disciple I took a liking to—his heroic spirit soars! When the time comes, I'll go check it out, lest some narrow-minded old immortal secretly strike a black hand!" After muttering, Iron Battle rose from the ground; he actually wasn't all that curious about his disciple's combat strength.

You know, he too was a genius back then, but Iron Battle asks himself: even at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he couldn't kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, even with the aid of a Five Elements Forbidden Formation!

Many cultivators must be curious about this, so he needs to go to West Decline in advance to protect his disciple; however, I've heard that West Decline has been unsettled for the past hundred years!

Iron Battle's eyes kept flashing; it seems an ancient warring force has appeared there, which is quite strange.

Soul Refining Hall!

Iron Battle muttered this name several times; the old fogies in the alliance don't know what scheme they're hatching, actually letting an external force station itself here!

"Forget it! I don't want to think about this anymore! Those old fogies, crafty as monkeys, surely won't do anything at a loss!"

Iron Battle muttered a line, then shot up into the sky, flying toward West Decline!

West Decline Cultivation Realm! Moon Cliff Terrace!

Wang Ze! Wang Jun, the two brothers stood at the lakeside, gazing at their uncle with awe.

Just now, they accidentally came within ten zhang of their uncle, but in an instant they were pressed flat on the ground, their bodies and wills completely suppressed, unable to move even a bit.

At that moment, the two felt they were going to die!

Afterward, the two asked their uncle what kind of power this was; the uncle casually replied with two words: 'Dao arts!'

Upon hearing this, the two were shocked to their cores. Dao arts! That is a technique only Golden Core cultivators can practice; Foundation Establishment cultivators can at most use it with their natal magic treasures, and they had never heard of a Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing Dao arts.

But their uncle told them that Foundation Establishment cultivators can also master Dao arts at this stage without relying on their natal magic treasures.

They couldn't believe it, but the living example before their eyes left them no choice but to believe.

Just then, a massive influx of spiritual power suddenly poured into the room behind them!

The two hurriedly turned to look; having already achieved Foundation Establishment, they were intimately familiar with this sight.

"Mother has successfully reached Foundation Establishment!" Wang Ze exclaimed excitedly!

"Truly unimaginable!" Wang Jun said the same.

"There's nothing unimaginable about it; as long as one's lifespan is sufficient, even a hundred-year-old can achieve Foundation Establishment!" Wang Ping's voice came from behind the two brothers.

The two hurriedly bowed in respect!

Wang Ping nodded and said, 'Yue Jie has already successfully reached Foundation Establishment; she only needs ten more days of closed-door cultivation. The great battle starts in a month, so I must return first. You can come find me at Longevity Peak then. Take this! If you encounter danger, it can save your lives!'

Wang Ping directly tossed a talisman to the two, then a flash of green light streaked across, and he had already vanished into the horizon.

The two took the talisman in hand and discovered it was actually a second-rank talisman that combined offense and defense; sensing its Dao power, it could at least threaten a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment.

The two exchanged a glance, then in unison bowed toward the direction Wang Ping had departed.

Wang Ping, flying in the air, was in good spirits; over the past two months, he had pondered the gravity technique transmitted by Nangong, gaining some insights.

Within a radius of one hundred zhang, Wang Ping confidently believed he had reached Nangong's level; his rapid progress was due to Nangong's meticulous instruction, and also to Nangong's principle of uniting form and spirit, which he had found a path to, though he no longer had the opportunity to advance further.

But Wang Ping could; thus, in just two months, his gravity technique had been honed to this extent. Although its coverage fell short of Nangong's fifty-li radius, its power was sufficient.

Regarding the upcoming challenge, Wang Ping didn't take it to heart; he did this merely to show the alliance members a part of his potential, which would help him enter the alliance's inner circle.

Although rumors circulated that a Nascent Soul grand perfection cultivator wanted to take him as a disciple, before anything was confirmed, he couldn't pin all his hopes on that.

Thinking thus, the Cloud Net Mountain Range appeared in his sight.

Now the Cloud Net range had completely changed; spiritual energy surged throughout the entire mountain range, and vaguely, a thick pillar of spiritual energy seemed to pierce straight into the heavens!

Whoosh!

Wang Ping's figure moved swiftly; from the moment he saw the Cloud Net Mountain Range, it took only two breaths for him to reach the mountain gate. Looking down at the bustling crowds coming and going, Wang Ping felt somewhat surprised— in less than a year, the Cloud Net seemed to have completely transformed!

He bore an identification jade tablet, so Wang Ping flew straight through the grand formation; because he hadn't concealed his trail, the patrolling cultivators soon spotted him.

"Who goes there?"

A loud shout rang out; as soon as the words fell, more than twenty Qi Refining cultivators surrounded Wang Ping.

The man who had just shouted saw Wang Ping's face, his expression changed, and he hoarsely bellowed, 'Enemy attack!'

Smack!

A palm slammed hard onto the back of the head of the cultivator who had just yelled 'enemy attack'.

"What enemy attack? That's the Longevity Peak master of our Six Dao!"

A resonant voice sounded!

Wang Ping's lips curled into a smile; Wang Ye was still as rough as ever!

"Greetings, Grand Origin Peak Master!"

All the cultivators uniformly saluted Wang Ye!

Seeing this, Wang Ping smiled and said, 'Dao friend Wang Ye, you're quite imposing these days!'

Wang Ye hehehed and said, 'No matter how imposing I am, I can't compare to your Wang Tianxiao's might! I haven't even seen your Longevity Peak master, Wang Tianxiao!'

At this moment, many cultivators reacted, seeing the youthful Wang Tianxiao matching the portrait; these dozen or so cultivators immediately flushed red and shouted at the top of their lungs, 'Greetings, Wang Tianxiao!'

Wang Ping smiled and nodded, then took out a dozen or so magic items from his storage bracelet and distributed them; he didn't know whose they were, but anything that could remain in his storage bracelet was at least of upper-grade quality.

Having received upper-grade magic items, the dozen or so people again shouted, 'Thank you, Wang Tianxiao, for your gift!'

The commotion here had long alerted the people of Cloud Net Mountain; within just ten breaths, twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators appeared before Wang Ping.

The one leading the group turned out to be Tie Lanshan!

Behind him were Master Liaoru, Zhang Zuo, and Ouyang Hua! After not seeing each other for a year, they all surprisingly broke through to late Foundation Establishment, and moreover, they exuded a stern killing aura!

This unique aura is produced only after extensive combat!
