Chapter 325: The Peak of Tianqi

Zhang Nuo was completely unaware of all this. After the old man roared for a moment, he finally calmed down. As his expression tightened, a thick, heavy killing intent surged from his body, making his entire person appear somewhat ethereal, as if he were amidst a mist.

The old man looked to be over seventy years old, wearing a white robe. He had short hair and no beard, appearing extremely clean. However, his bloodshot eyes, filled with rage at this moment, made him look ferocious and terrifying. His cultivation had even reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

"Someone, come here!"

After a long silence, the old man finally spat out these two words heavily. At this moment, the door creaked, and a male cultivator of about thirty years old walked in from outside. Because of fear, his body trembled slightly, and his gaze toward the old man was shifty and evasive.

"Palace Master! What are your orders?"

He had heard the old man's roar just now, so the male cultivator spoke cautiously.

"Go and investigate for me: where has Ren'er been during this time? You must find the whereabouts of that murderer!"

"Yes!"

The male cultivator did not dare to ask more and retreated directly from the old man's room. He gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand and ran outside with a panicked expression!

Very quickly, the news that the Young Master of Taixu Palace had been killed spread throughout this town. All the cultivators were discussing it fervently: who was so bold as to dare to lay a hand on someone from Taixu Palace, and specifically kill the son of the Taixu Palace Master? It seemed that the murderer's days would not be easy!

At the same time, many people were shouting with joy in their hearts. Relying on his status in Taixu Palace, Wei Juren had never taken these cultivators in the town seriously. On normal days, he would curse at the drop of a hat and strike whenever he pleased. Out of respect for the Taixu Palace Master, these cultivators had to swallow their anger.

The old man who had roared just now was the current Taixu Palace Master, Wei Shang! This man had only one beloved son. Although his cultivation had reached his level, he had long since looked lightly upon worldly kinship, but with his only beloved son having been slaughtered, his heart was angry to the extreme!

…………

Zhang Nuo sat cross-legged in the cave. He was completely unaware of what had happened in the town on the edge of the Xianhuan Continent. As the saying goes, ignorance is fearless; what he cared about most right now were these few Magic Treasures in his hands!

Especially the "Earth Yellow Armor" he was holding in his hand. Zhang Nuo had seen the power of this armor with his own eyes. The final strike of the "Nine Dragon Chant Sword Array" back then had actually failed to kill Wei Juren, which was enough to show the extraordinary nature of the Earth Yellow Armor!

With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, Zhang Nuo easily wiped away the Divine Sense Mark that Wei Juren had left on this armor. Afterward, he took off his outer garment, and with a flicker of his figure, he put the Earth Yellow Armor on his own body!

He moved his shoulders slightly and felt quite comfortable. He slowly poured Spirit Power into the armor, and in the blink of an eye, a faint golden light emerged on the surface of the Earth Yellow Armor! He reached out and struck himself; he only felt that the point of impact did not take any force at all, and his body did not feel a shred of pain!

However, Zhang Nuo had not used his full strength for this strike; he just wanted to test it! Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Nuo put his outer garment back on; from the outside, there was not a single flaw!

Next, Zhang Nuo took out the two giant swords that made up the "Heaven Splitting Scissors." He likewise wiped away Wei Juren's Divine Sense Mark and branded his own mark into the Magic Treasure! Holding both giant swords in his hands, he danced them lightly. Gusts of biting wind whistled from within the cave, and even some mountain rocks on the cave walls were affected and brought down!

Dancing with some excitement, Zhang Nuo suddenly let go, and the two five-colored giant swords flew out of his hands. As a sheet of five-colored glow merged, the giant swords combined into one, transforming into a pair of scissors about a zhang in size.

With a *crack*, the moment the blades closed, the surrounding space seemed to have been severed. With an excited smile on his face, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and the Heaven Splitting Scissors flew back to his side!

Only at the very end did Zhang Nuo take out the "Four Spirits Square Cauldron." The small, light-blue tripod had become somewhat dim due to losing its mental connection with its owner. When Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense Mark was imprinted into it, the small tripod suddenly shone brightly, as if it had regained its vitality!

Holding the small tripod in his palm with one hand, Zhang Nuo looked into the cauldron. He saw dense blue electric arcs, like ten thousand rays of light, stinging his eyes so he could not keep them open! A vast and immense power of electric arcs surged from the small tripod!

"Truly a good item!"

After examining it carefully for a long time, Zhang Nuo exclaimed. Although the Four Spirits Square Cauldron was an Ancient Treasure, it was not damaged too severely, and at least seventy percent of its power remained! This was enough for him; the Heaven-Turning Seal had only been repaired to about thirty or forty percent back then, and it had already been quite overbearing!

"Kid Zhang, you must not use these Magic Treasures obtained from Wei Juren easily! If you are discovered by people from Taixu Palace, that would be troublesome!"

Chunyangzi reminded him with deep meaning. Zhang Nuo nodded; he also knew this in his heart. Such sharp Magic Treasures, as long as they were used once, someone would immediately remember them! Therefore, unless it was a last resort, he would absolutely not use them.

Two months later, Zhang Nuo had refined both the "Heaven Splitting Scissors" and the "Four Spirits Square Cauldron" into his body. Watching the two Magic Treasures being continuously tempered around his Pill Fire, he felt a wonderful sensation in his heart!

Through this period of rest, Zhang Nuo had also recovered to his peak state. Walking out of the cave, he looked toward the direction of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain! That was the final destination of his trip!

With a surge of escape light on his body, he immediately turned into a rainbow and fled toward the direction of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain. Half a month later, when Zhang Nuo's figure appeared at the foot of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain, facing this magnificent mountain with vast Spiritual Qi, his heart could not help but stir slightly!

To come here, he did not know how much suffering he had endured, and a few times it had even been a brush with death! He let out a long breath, exhaling the stifled air that had accumulated in his heart for many years, and raised his eyes to look toward the summit of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain!

He saw the huge mountain peak, which reached into the clouds, shrouded in layers of mist. The mountain was so massive that even with Zhang Nuo's flight speed, it would take more than a year to fly around it once!

This mountain looked even larger than the Chen Jie Xian Shan he had seen before! He sent out his Divine Sense, but within the range Zhang Nuo could reach, he did not discover the shadow of any cultivators. However, he could not harbor the fantasy that this place was deserted; since many cultivators had penetrated deep into the Xianhuan Continent, this mountain had likely been discovered by others long ago!

His figure leaped high, and as his escape light surged, Zhang Nuo flew toward the summit of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain! The escape light hugged the mountain wall as he went upward! Several hours later, Zhang Nuo had only flown to one-third of the way up the Immortal Mountain!

Here, clouds and mist swirled, and a rich Spiritual Qi was refreshing to the heart and spirit. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Nuo only felt refreshed and invigorated! If he could practice quietly here for a few decades, he would definitely advance to the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Don't worry about that for now! Go straight to find the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was constantly intoxicated by it, Chunyangzi urged him with a hint of anxiety. Zhang Nuo had no choice but to lift his eyebrows slightly, and then he flew toward the place marked on the Measuring Heaven Ruler map.

That place was relatively close to the summit of the Tianqi Immortal Mountain. While flying, Zhang Nuo felt a strange thing: the closer he got to the summit, the more he felt an invisible pressure! This pressure was not Spiritual Pressure; it was more like a kind of coercion coming from the mountain itself!

Zhang Nuo was secretly shocked in his heart! It was worthy of being an Immortal Mountain; even the aura it exuded was this terrifying! He traveled a further distance toward the summit, and that invisible pressure grew greater and greater!

"Hehe! Although this mountain has no Restrictions, just this pressure alone would stop many cultivators in their tracks!"

Watching Zhang Nuo flying with difficulty, Chunyangzi actually became quite interested and laughed happily. Zhang Nuo had no time to pay attention to him now; his escape light was almost pushed to the limit, and he flew toward the summit with all his might!

Just at this moment, a violent explosion came from the summit, causing the air around the summit to tremble several times. His expression changed, and Zhang Nuo immediately landed on the ground, looking up at the cloud-shrouded mountain!

It was just that the closer to the summit, the denser the clouds and mist, and his vision could only reach about a hundred zhang away. Closing his eyes slightly, Zhang Nuo released his Divine Sense to probe into the mist!

A moment later, his expression changed abruptly, and the steel teeth in his mouth gnashed with a *clatter*! Because he felt a familiar aura!

"Old dog Nanxuan!"

He did not expect that the group from the Nanxuan Sect had found the Tianqi Immortal Mountain a step ahead of him. Not only that, but at the summit, there were two other powerful auras! It looked like they should also be emitted by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!

"So many cultivators; it seems they all came for the Immortal Mountain! Things are going to be difficult!"

Chunyangzi clicked his tongue, also feeling a great headache!

"Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, don't even think about stopping me from finding the Zifu Tianqi Immortal Cave!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed his face, and Zhang Nuo's stubbornness flared up again. The Nine Dragon Sword Case within his body turned slightly, absorbing all the Spirit Power fluctuations on his body, and then Zhang Nuo sneaked toward the summit.

Along the way, he heard a few more loud bangs. It seemed that the several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators at the summit were in a great battle; otherwise, there would absolutely not be such power!

When Zhang Nuo was about to approach the summit, he saw three streaks of escape light circling endlessly above the Tianqi Divine Mountain, occasionally releasing Magic Treasures to bombard each other! The bursts of loud bangs just now had come from here!

Zhang Nuo's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the escape light of Nanxuan Laozu at once. His fists clenched until his knuckles cracked; if his cultivation were not insufficient, he would really want to rush up immediately and tear Nanxuan Laozu into ten thousand pieces!

Restraining the impulse in his heart, he looked toward the summit and saw that at three directions of the summit, three huge Flying Magic Tools were parked, among which was the flying boat of the Nanxuan Sect!

On the decks of the flying boats stood Zhuo Zhiyan, Zhuge Qing, and Song Yi, respectively. For some reason, he had not discovered the figure of Xiao Zhengxing! At this moment, Zhang Nuo did not know that Xiao Zhengxing had already fallen many years ago!

On the other two Flying Magic Tools, there also stood many cultivators, each one looking up at the sky, watching the great battle at Tianqi Peak!
