Chapter 431

"Qiu Jinan? One of the sect masters of the so-called Five Great Immortal Sects of the Great Xia?"

Fellow Daoist Meng climbed up from the ground, not having suffered too heavy an injury. He scoffed at Qiu Jinan's identity; being hit by Qiu Jinan just now was purely because Qiu Jinan had ambushed him.

If they really fought, the outcome would be hard to say.

He came from the most prosperous period of the Great Yu Dynasty; the Great Yu Dynasty of that time was not inferior to the Great Xia of today. He was one of the top few Integration stage cultivators of that era; in terms of status, he was no worse than Qiu Jinan.

Being able to sleep for over a hundred thousand years and execute a plan in the Great Era naturally had its unique aspects.

Although today's Great Xia has many experts, after all, over a hundred thousand long years have passed, and many cultivation methods and spells have been lost.

He, however, mastered these cultivation methods and spells.

One side mastered lost cultivation methods and spells, the other side did not; it was not hard to judge who was stronger and who was weaker.

"Sect Master Qiu?!"

Lu Yang and the others were overjoyed. The Great Yu cultivator was arrogant and ignorant, not knowing Qiu Jinan's strength, but how could they not know?

This was Sect Master Qiu, who had been tossed around by the Nine Sons of the Wendao Sect since they were children, with wins and losses on both sides!

As the person most proficient in Five Elements spells in the current age, even the Minister of Justice probably couldn't beat Qiu Jinan!

Except for the Unspoken Daoist, the number one Integration stage cultivator, no one dared to say they could steadily defeat Qiu Jinan!

"Qiu Jinan!" Zhao Po was shocked and immediately felt at ease. The reputation of the Five Great Immortal Sects resounded throughout the Great Xia Dynasty and was much stronger than their Corpse-Driving Sect.

Zhao Po secretly observed Lu Yang and Meng Meng Jingzhou and found that although they were pleasantly surprised, their reactions were much smaller than his own.

He suddenly remembered Meng Meng Jingzhou's curse, a half-step Tribulation Transcendence level curse; he didn't know who he had provoked.

He had been curious before how Meng Meng Jingzhou, only at the Golden Core stage, could provoke such an enemy; now he understood a little.

They had only been in contact for a few days, and they had already encountered an ancient Integration stage cultivator.

Man Gu had also seen big scenes; he had participated in the entire destruction of the Decayed Sect, and the scale was much larger than this.

The Drowned Ghost was almost scared to death again; the situation had completely exceeded his cognition. What ancient Integration stage cultivator, what sect master of the Five Great Immortal Sects—these were not big shots that a small water ghost like him could come into contact with.

As for Huang Zao'er, who was trying to commit insurance fraud, she had already fainted from fright.

Amidst the surprise, Lu Yang thought of another problem: "That's not right. How could Sect Master Qiu be here, and appear so coincidentally?"

"It's very simple. He was following behind you," the Immortal Fairy said as a matter of course. No matter how secretive Qiu Jinan's stealth technique was, it couldn't compare to the Immortal Fairy.

"Following behind us? Since when?"

"Since you and Meng Meng Jingzhou wanted to enter the city but encountered a mudslide."

"Isn't that the beginning!"

"That doesn't count as the beginning. Entering the shady shop counts as the beginning," the Immortal Fairy earnestly corrected Lu Yang's faulty logic.

Fellow Daoist Meng did not fear Qiu Jinan's presence and even wanted to attack.

"Junior of the Great Xia, let me show you what ancient spells are... The Great Sun Hangs in the Sky!"

A phantom of a bronze tree slowly emerged behind Fellow Daoist Meng, with two great suns flickering in and out of existence, containing endless light and heat. Just one look felt like melting; a Jin Wu spread its wings and cried, located in the center of the great sun.

Qiu Jinan casually raised a light screen to protect Lu Yang and the others.

This was an Integration stage cultivator's trump card; even a graze would be more than Lu Yang and the others could withstand.

Qiu Jinan pondered, seeming to have seen a description of this move in ancient books, and spoke his recollections unhurriedly.

"Legend has it that in the ancient era, ten Golden Crows lived on the Fusang tree. Every day, one Jin Wu would go out to patrol the world. Suddenly one day, all ten Golden Crows flew out together, bringing disaster to the earth. An ancient god drew his bow and shot down nine suns."

"During the Great Yu period, there was a person who deduced based on this ancient rumor, found a section of the Fusang tree trunk, combined it with the Jin Wu's true fire, and created a divine ability called 'Ten Suns Patrol the Sky,' raising the power of the Jin Wu's true fire to another level."

"That person leaped to become a grandmaster of the fire path, founded the Heavenly Flame Sect, and became famous throughout the world. Later, as that person disappeared, the 'Ten Suns Patrol the Sky' technique vanished from the world. The Heavenly Flame Sect struggled for eight thousand years before being found by enemies and having their sect destroyed."

"According to records, that person's Daoist name was True Monarch Meng Tian."

Having his identity exposed by Qiu Jinan, Fellow Daoist Meng was not in a hurry, a cold sneer curling his lips: "You are quite knowledgeable. Although I can only perform 'Two Suns Patrol the Sky,' once I successfully transcend the tribulation, I will be able to perform 'Five Suns Patrol the Sky.' At the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, it will be 'Ten Suns Patrol the Sky,' recreating the ancient scene! It's a pity my cultivation is limited and cannot keep up with the rhythm of the deduction, but dealing with a junior like you is more than enough!"

"I set a rule here: I can perform 'Three Suns Patrol the Sky'!"

On the Fusang tree, the third sun took to the sky!

After all, this was near Hanshui City; making too much of a commotion would inevitably attract the attention of experts in the city. He had to finish the battle quickly, so True Monarch Meng Tian skipped the process of launching attacks and used his strongest move from the very beginning!

Integration stage cultivators cannot arbitrarily set rules, otherwise True Monarch Meng Tian could directly perform 'Ten Suns Patrol the Sky.'

When Integration stage cultivators fight, the rules they set are usually divided into two categories: one is to strengthen oneself, and the other is to restrict the opponent.

The strength of the rule to strengthen oneself depends on the limit of the Integration stage cultivator and is a way to stimulate potential.

The rules to restrict the opponent are limited by an equal number of times; you can restrict the opponent once, and the opponent can restrict you once. There is no limit to the way of restriction, so a slight carelessness can lead to a disaster.

For example, when the Great Yu Integration stage cultivator who used beasts to refine the Soul-Summoning Banner fought Vice Sect Master Shi, the rule set by the Great Yu Integration stage cultivator was:

Except for me, everyone within a radius of five hundred zhang will have slow movements.

The rule set by Vice Sect Master Shi was:

Within a radius of five hundred zhang, no one is allowed to use demonic artifacts.

This is the manifestation of equal times.

Three great suns took to the sky, the Golden Crows cried, and the scorching suns truly had the meaning of repeating the ancient disaster.

"Go!"

True Monarch Meng Tian raised his hand, extended two fingers, and slammed them down, pointing at Qiu Jinan and the people behind him.

If Qiu Jinan dodged, the people behind him would surely die!

He was certain Qiu Jinan would not dodge!

"Sigh—" Facing the three great suns, Qiu Jinan let out a long sigh.

Qiu Jinan took a step forward, the five-colored light wheel behind him shining brilliantly, turning into five-colored divine light. Anything belonging to the five elements was under the control of the divine light.

Swish—

Under the scouring of the five-colored divine light, the three great suns gradually dissolved.

"So the 'Ten Suns Patrol the Sky,' described as a natural disaster, only has this much power."

"How is this possible!"

True Monarch Meng Tian widened his eyes in disbelief. His strongest move was resolved so lightly?

The opponent didn't even set a rule!

Before True Monarch Meng Tian could figure out what was going on, he saw Qiu Jinan's figure flicker, and with one kick, he trampled True Monarch Meng Tian underfoot. This kick was as heavy as a hundred thousand great mountains, pressing True Monarch Meng Tian face up, struggling but unable to get up!

Qiu Jinan looked at True Monarch Meng Tian indifferently: "I have never seen anyone dare to use Five Elements spells in front of me; even those nine guys from the Wendao Sect don't dare."

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
