Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Ping'an gazed intently at the giant halberd with burning eyes, spiritual light involuntarily surging around his body, and the Five Elements Return to Origin Jade on his chest grew scorching hot, resonating with the power flowing through the giant halberd.

Before he could approach, the giant halberd suddenly erupted with a vast chaotic force, directly transforming into a stream that surged into Xu Ping'an's body, instantly sweeping through his four limbs and hundred bones.

The five Qi rotations in his Qi sea spun wildly at this moment.

The gentle Five Elements mana, under the infusion of the giant halberd's power, became increasingly condensed, the five Qi rotations intermingling, faintly showing signs of breakthrough.

Xu Ping'an only felt his meridians swelling throughout his body, yet without the slightest pain; rather, it was an unprecedented comfort, as if a parched riverbed welcomed a surging torrent, the mana in his Golden Core surging wildly, his cultivation climbing steadily.

Golden Core Middle Stage, Golden Core Late Stage... until it soared to Golden Core Perfection, only then stabilizing.

He carefully savored it, clearly sensing the terrifying power contained within his body, more than several times stronger than when he previously slew the Law Puppet; with a wave of his hand or a stamp of his foot, he stirred the Five Elements power in his surroundings.

Looking again at the giant halberd, Xu Ping'an felt a spiritual sense, and a stream of information surged into his mind.

"Suppress heaven and earth, exterminate the eight wildernesses.

The Sky-Shattering Halberd, all spirits submit."

Halberd name: Zhen Huang!"

Dongting Immortal Sect, Qingmu Peak.

In the Third Grade Spirit Field, spiritual energy was so dense it materialized into tangible mist; Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged on the field ridge, eyes slightly closed, green spiritual light coiling around him, greedily absorbing the wood spiritual energy in the spirit field, as well as the life force emitted by the spirit plants.

His whole person's aura grew increasingly steady and heavy, faintly revealing a trace of pressure.

A moment later, Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance flickering in the depths of his pupils, and the corner of his mouth immediately curled into a shallow smile: "Just a little more, and I can break through to Nascent Soul Mid-Stage."

As the Qingmu Peak Acting Peak Master, also serving as Spirit Field Si Geng.

To have such speed is already very good.

Although the improvement is slow, his cultivation is extremely stable; therefore his strength far surpasses those of the same stage.

Just at this time, the Si Geng Token suddenly heated up; Xu Zhangqing took out the token and heard a familiar voice resound: "Peak Master Xu, quickly come to Xingqiong Hall, there is an important matter to discuss."

The voice's owner was naturally Great Elder Xuan Yan.

Generally speaking, he would not actively seek others out.

Once he does so, it must be an urgent matter.

Xu Zhangqing did not want to delay; just as he prepared to rise, he sensed the Communication Jade Talisman light up; this time it was Spirit Beast Valley Master Mu Yunsheng: "Changqing younger brother, did you also receive the summons from Xingqiong Hall?"

Xu Zhangqing countered: "You received it too?"

"Of course,"

Mu Yunsheng's voice carried a trace of doubt: "If not for sect discussion, Xingqiong Hall rarely summons us.

This time they not only summoned you, but also others; there's likely some major affair."

Xu Zhangqing pondered for a moment, then said to the Communication Jade Talisman: "Since it's so, let's meet at the Yunhua Realm entrance, then go together to Xingqiong Hall."

Mu Yunsheng did not refuse: "Good, I had this very intention!"

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing and Mu Yunsheng met at the Yunhua Realm entrance.

The two huddled together, flying side by side toward Xingqiong Hall.

Mu Yunsheng's brows slightly furrowed: "Quite a few people summoned this time; I fear the matter is not simple."

On the way here, he asked many people.

Regardless of the Rain Water Pavilion or the Pill Refining Pavilion, they would send people to attend.

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Once we reach Xingqiong Hall, we'll naturally know."

Before long, the two arrived at Xingqiong Hall.

Ordinarily, boundless starlight coils around it, yet it is not dazzling.

But today, the surrounding starlight was exceptionally brilliant, countless light points revolving around the great hall, emitting vast stellar power, more than several times denser than usual.

Xu Zhangqing's eyes narrowed slightly, keenly perceiving that today's Xingqiong Hall was a bit different.

Stepping into the hall, the two saw many familiar figures.

Hou Tu Peak Master Yue Kunlun, tall and sturdy in build, aura heavy like the earth, currently sitting to the side with eyes closed resting.

Jin Gang Peak Master Tuoba Ye, this man's whole body muscles knotted, aura fierce and overbearing, currently conversing quietly with someone.

Besides them, the heads of the Pill Refining Pavilion, Rain Water Pavilion, Zhuqi Peak and other districts had also arrived.

And on the other side stood a solitary cold figure; this person wore black night-walking attire, face cold and stern, eyes like sabers, aura freezing to the bone, making people dare not approach.

Mu Yunsheng's pupils shrank slightly, he cried out softly: "Tiexue Peak Master, Xiao Sha!"

Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred, he couldn't help but say: "This one, I have never seen before; it has always been Vice Peak Master Ling Shuang participating in discussions."

Mu Yunsheng immediately transmitted: "Tiexue Peak is the Immortal Sect's sharp weapon; either handling matters, or on the way to handle matters.

Especially Xiao Sha, this man's methods are ruthless, cold-blooded and violent.

He rarely shows his face in the sect, mostly killing people outside, or in secluded cultivation.

Today he was actually summoned too; one can see the severity of the matter.

Fortunately Gui Lao isn't here, otherwise a major incident would occur!"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

In the hall, people conversed in low voices, all with doubtful expressions.

From this it can be seen that many people did not know the reason for this summoning.

After a while, Sect Master Chao Jin and Great Elder Xuan Yan appeared together.

Moreover, not only them, four people followed beside them.

These four people had unfamiliar faces; they were absolutely not from Dongting Immortal Sect.

It could even be said that they did not seem to be from Tianyuan Realm.

Their aura was neither Five Elements Power nor Mutant Spirit Root, but Star Power.

Even more shocking was that all four had a Third Eye on their foreheads.

Though closed, faint spiritual light leaked out, exuding a sense of mystery.

Xu Zhangqing and Mu Yunsheng exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Chao Jin spoke slowly, his voice spreading throughout Xingqiong Hall: "These four are honored guests from the Three-Eyed Clan of the Outer Realm.

This one is the Clan Leader, Qiong.

These two are Elders, Xuan and Lie.

This one is a genius member, Li."

Upon these words, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

Those who understood knew that the Three-Eyed Clan was a very ancient race.

Rumor had it that their Third Eye could see through falsehood and control the stars.

Even those who did not know the origin were shaken in heart and mind by this news.

After all, since ancient times, no one from the Outer Realm had ever appeared in Tianyuan Realm.

Now that they had crossed realms to arrive here, it meant this place had already been exposed.

What's more, it was the Clan Leader of the Three-Eyed Clan personally leading the team here.

Qiong nodded slightly, his Third Eye on his forehead still closed, then said lightly: "This time we come, it is the first time my Three-Eyed Clan has made contact with Tianyuan Realm cultivators; we specially come to visit Dongting Immortal Sect to discuss a major matter together."

"Discuss a major matter together?"

Xiao Sha raised an eyebrow and spoke coldly: "Since ancient times, Tianyuan Realm has never had contact with outsiders; the Three-Eyed Clan has lived in seclusion for ten thousand years, and today they suddenly appear—surely it cannot be that simple?"

He had never trusted strangers, let alone a foreign race.

The atmosphere solidified in an instant; everyone understood that this visit by the Three-Eyed Clan would surely bring different changes to Dongting Immortal Sect and even Tianyuan Realm!
