Chapter 1039

Among the sect masters of the Bada Sect present, the lowest cultivation was at the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the higher ones, like Liaofan, had already reached the Heavenly Being Realm.

In terms of eyesight, naturally none of them were lacking.

But after watching for a long time, they still could not discern the underlying principles.

They only felt that these two people high in the sky had no idea what they were fighting over.

A sect master of the Zhengdaozhang Sect, having watched for a long time without understanding, was just about to speak up and mock them.

Suddenly, from not far away, a ball of invisible Qi came howling over.

It smashed into the snow, and the snow did not splash up even a flake; instead, it rapidly melted, turning into a bottomless pit of slush.

"This…"

Seeing this, Liaofan could not help but turn pale with shock.

"Master Liaofan, what have you seen?"

Master Yeyu had watched for a long time and could not make out anything.

But seeing Liaofan's expression, she knew he had already discerned something.

So she immediately asked Liaofan directly.

"Everyone should know that when ordinary people cultivate Wu Gong, before reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm, they are merely tempering themselves and tapping their own potential, yes?"

Liaofan did not hold back either. Seeing the Yizhongzhang Sect and the martial artists looking over, he immediately began to explain.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded without ceasing.

"Then, from the Peerless Realm, after stepping into the Earthly Immortal Realm, one can draw upon the primordial force of Heaven and Earth.

This primordial force of Heaven and Earth is itself a kind of force of nature.

Not only does it have attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, and so on.

Moreover, when a martial artist cultivates, primordial force that resonates with them will, from time to time, merge with the martial artist's true essence.

For example, cultivating Wu Gong of the yang-firm attribute will attract yang-attribute primordial force.

Cultivating water-attribute Wu Gong will attract water-attribute primordial force."

What Liaofan said was martial Dao theory, but it was not something an ordinary person could know.

Although these martial artists of the Zhengdao Bada Sect each had their own lineages.

This theory of Liaofan's, they truly were hearing for the first time.

"That person in the void who rubs his palms into a blade cultivates fire-attribute Wu Gong.

Therefore, when he sends forth true essence across the void, condensing true essence into a blade, every single blade is in fact fire-attribute."

Liaofan pointed at that person and gave a brief explanation.

"Fire-attribute?"

Hearing this, Master Yeyu could not help but ask strangely,

"Aren't flames all bright and glaring? Who sees them and isn't afraid?

For example…"

What she wanted to mention was the matter of how the Xue Damo Hall had been burned, and how Watching Bi Xuan had emerged from the sea of fire, flames clinging to his body, and fought fiercely against Luo Jusheng and the other four great experts of the Eastern Depot.

But halfway through speaking, she recalled that the burning of the Xue Damo Hall was itself a great shame for Yunzhou Shaolin.

One does not mock a man by exposing his shortcomings, nor strike a man by hitting his face.

Master Yeyu had no intention of making enemies with Liaofan and Yunzhou Shaolin, so she could not continue the sentence.

"Indeed, flames are generally the most conspicuous among the several major attributes."

Liaofan was incomparably clever; he naturally knew what Master Yeyu wanted to say, but he did not get angry, and instead gave a brief explanation,

"Flame attributes, in fact, when burning, are divided into six great realms according to explosive power: orange, yellow, blue, purple, white, and colorless.

Orange has the least power; colorless is the most terrifying."

"Does the Master mean that this person's flames have already reached the colorless realm?"

Master Yeyu, the quickest to react, saw another pit of slush form in the distance and could not help but be utterly shocked.

It was because when the Xue Damo Hall was burned before, the flame-wreathed figure who fought the five great experts of the Eastern Depot had flames around him that were only at the blue realm.

Yet even flames of this blue realm were still something the five great experts could not overcome.

Now, that person high in the sky actually possessed colorless-realm flames!

Then just how terrifying must this person's cultivation be?

"Heh heh! Didn't expect such a godforsaken place to actually have a bald donkey who knows his stuff?"

Just after Liaofan exposed the levels of flame, a voice suddenly came over.

Everyone was startled, wondering who had spoken.

They saw that, high in the sky, the person who kept unleashing colorless flames actually turned his head and gave Liaofan and the others a sinister smile.

"It's him… so far away, yet he can actually hear our conversation?"

A sect master of the Zhengdaozhang Sect immediately reacted, utterly astonished.

This place was already several li away from the sky above the battling Heavenly Lake Peak.

To be able to hear voices from such a distance, just how terrifying must this person's cultivation be?

"This isn't the most terrifying part. The key is that he is currently fighting someone, and that person is no weakling either…"

Master Yeyu's face also went deathly pale, and she added a sentence.

Only then did everyone react.

The one fighting this person who possessed colorless flames was already a great expert whom they could only look up to and never reach.

They asked themselves and felt that even Guihai Yidao could not break through it.

Yet this person of colorless flames not only held the upper hand.

Having spare energy, he listened to the crowd's conversation, then turned his head to look and said a word.

With cultivation like this, what realm must he have reached?

Who on earth is this terrifying person?

"Th-this, this so-called Sky Fragrant Cardamom — it seems my Men Sect has no fortune to enjoy it. Master Liaofan, fellow cultivators, I'll take my leave first."

Faced with such a terrifying person, one Zhengdaozhang Sect immediately retreated in the face of difficulty.

He cupped his fists toward Master Liaofan and the other sect leaders, said a word, then led his disciples hurriedly down the mountain.

"Master Liaofan, senior Zhuweizhang Sect, my master has already died. Our Kongdong Sect can only withdraw from this great matter as well."

In truth, the moment the Kongdongzhang Sect died, those Kongdong disciples had long been terrified to the core.

If not for fear of being mocked, they would have withdrawn long ago.

Now seeing the combatants high above were so horrifying,

how would they dare linger any longer?

Coincidentally, one sect leader took the lead in leaving, so under the guidance of their senior disciple, these Kongdong Sect disciples also took their leave and departed.

With these two Men Sect fleeing in fear, the other few Men Sect no longer held out either.

In no time, the originally numerous Bada Sect of the orthodox path were, in the blink of an eye, reduced to only Yunzhou Shaolin and Mount Emei.

Master Liaofan and Master Yeyu did not leave — first, because their cultivation was the highest, and at the very least they could barely make out the techniques of those two high above.

They felt that from this battle, they would gain quite a bit.

Second, because they no longer had any intention of scheming for the Sky Fragrant Cardamom.

"You're Sunren Tianyin!"

At this moment, General Zhebie, who had been fighting the man with the colorless flames for a long time, suddenly had a thought and exposed the identity of the person before him.

"Hehe! I didn't expect that after hiding for so long, I was still exposed by General Zhebie in the end!"

Since his identity was exposed, Sunren Tianyin naturally stopped concealing it, directly shedding his disguise and revealing his true appearance.

He was one of the super experts of You Dongying of the Nine Provinces, who had once come to Yunzhou to cause trouble — Sunren Tianyin, disciple of the great leader Xiao Aoshi.

At this moment, Sunren Tianyin's Wu Gong had clearly advanced another level.

At the very least, relying on this colorless flame technique, he could actually fight for so long against General Zhebie, one of the Great Yuan's Thirteen Wings and an expert of the Heavenly Dao Golden List level.

And he even held the upper hand steadily!

"So it really is you! In that case, the ones below aren't people from the Shanzhuang, but rather…"

Only now did General Zhebie understand — the illusion array had never been set up by the Shanzhuang at all; it was people from You Dongying of the Nine Provinces who had come to set it up.

He never expected that the Sky Fragrant Cardamom had been seized first by the people of You Dongying.
