Seeing Wan Xing, Bai Ze and the others appear, Zhao Xuanjing felt his heart sink, his expression becoming exceedingly grim.

"Old Ghost Wan Xing, it really is you again!" Zhao Xuanjing spoke word by word, his voice like thunder, shaking the surrounding billions of miles of space-time.

"Hehe! I have plotted for so long, yet I didn’t expect to be seen through by you!" Old Ghost Wan Xing let out a sinister laugh, Zhao Dashan’s originally resolute face turning cold and eerie.

As he spoke, the Light Ball of the Grotto Heaven suddenly transformed into a stream of flowing light, quickly merging into his body.

Bai Ze, Yinglong, and Candle Dragon simultaneously spread out, surrounding Old Ghost Wan Xing in the center.

At the same time, behind the three Great Venerable Level Divine Beast Envoys emerged their respective Divine Beast Dharma Forms, each exuding overwhelming ferocity, terrifying and fierce.

Seeing this scene, Li Changxue’s face showed a murderous intent, and with a flash of brilliance in her hand, a square Jade Seal appeared.

On top of the Jade Seal stood a vivid, entirely black Black Qilin, its eyes shining with Divine Light, clearly alive.

This Jade Seal, also known as the Thick Virtue Emperor Seal, was an item of the first Emperor of the Weiyang Divine Dynasty, passed down to become a symbol of imperial power.

It not only gathers the Qi Fortune of millions of years of the Weiyang Divine Dynasty but also contains the Divine Soul Seal intentionally left by successive emperors.

The imprints of the emperors of successive generations nurtured an Innate Qilin True Spirit, which is Undying and Undying, with strength comparable to a Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable.

One could say, the power of the Thick Virtue Emperor Seal is by no means inferior to a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

On the other side, the jewels on Pu Du’s body suddenly emitted a bright radiance, transforming into numerous legendary Divine Buddhas, including Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Girls, Arhats, and Divine Generals.

These legendary Divine Buddhas, all adorned with magnificent appearances, surrounded Pu Du, making her appear like a living Buddha. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Pu Du had early on joined the Infinite Light Temple on the Great Snow Mountain. Later, due to a dispute for leadership, the entire Bright Temple was wiped out in one day.

After that event, Pu Du disappeared for nearly ten thousand years, and when she reappeared, she had become one of the ten protectors of the Supreme Sect.

After thirty thousand years, Pu Du finally had a great awakening, comprehending the supreme truths of the Buddhist path. After retreating for ten thousand years, she suddenly crossed the Nine-nine Tribulation, ascending to become a rare Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable in the Taiyi Spirit Realm.

Pu Du was originally a man, but after ascending to become a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, she transformed into a female form, therefore the sect members honorably refer to her as a "Great Master."

Though Pu Du’s strength is ordinary among her realm, she should not be underestimated.

Just as the great battle was about to break out, Zhao Xuanjing suddenly spoke, "Wait!"

Before his words fell, his thousand-foot Golden Body rapidly shrank, returning in an instant to a ten-foot-six Golden Body.

Old Ghost Wan Xing, with his sharp vision, naturally saw that the other’s strength had multiplied geometrically, stepping into an even more unfathomable realm.

Due to the constraints of this flesh "vessel," Old Ghost Wan Xing couldn’t quite gauge the other’s combat power limits, and for a moment, a feeling of unease arose.

The contest among Tribulation Crossing Realm is far beyond what Lower Realm Cultivators can fathom!

Because the factors determining victory or defeat are many, not only depending on each one’s understanding of the Laws of the Tao they practiced but also on the level, breadth, and precision of mastery of the Taoist Law!

Next, the "size" of each’s Grotto Heaven comes into play, with those having larger domain areas holding a greater chance, while smaller domains fall into innate disadvantage.

As for various Spells, hundreds or thousands of Magical Treasures, and innate Great Divine Skills, these are merely "keys" to victory imagined by Lower Realm, not the winning cards in the eyes of Tribulation Crossing Venerables.

Zhao Xuanjing’s body was bathed in flowing golden light, the Power of Laws highly condensed, visibly becoming the tangible "Auspicious Light" of the Tao.

"Auspicious Light" of myriad colors is an auspicious sign in the heavens before Ascension to Immortality.

In other words, Zhao Xuanjing’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, with actual combat power being hard to estimate.

Staring at Old Ghost Wan Xing, whose eyes had dramatically changed, Zhao Xuanjing spoke slowly, "Wan Xing, I respect you for attaining immortality in life, an exemplar for us Cultivators. I do not wish to see you utterly dissipate. Now that your plot has failed, as long as you return Dashan’s body and Grotto Heaven, I shall let you leave."

Old Ghost Wan Xing’s expression turned extremely grave, his emerald green pupils shrinking to the extreme.

In this moment, for the first time, a flicker of hesitation and retreat arose in his heart.

Because he already saw that the other was in an extraordinarily special state.

If ordinary Tribulation Crossing Venerables stay around "Ten Thousand Moments," then Zhao Xuanjing’s "Temporal Realm" at this moment must be far below "Ten Thousand Moments."

Simply put, Zhao Xuanjing’s reaction speed was much faster than all the Venerables present, even several times faster.

The ancients said: Of all the myriad methods, none are unbreakable, only speed is invincible!

Zhao Xuanjing spoke extremely slowly, not because he was choosing his words, but because Wan Xing, Li Changxue and others were "too slow," so slow that time seemed to have stopped.

At this moment, Bai Ze suddenly noticed his anomaly, his eyes flashing with a trace of surprise.

In the next instant, Bai Ze abruptly retreated into the Divine Beast Dharma Form behind him.

In an instant, the ten-thousand-foot-tall Bai Ze Divine Beast came to life, erupting with a myriad of white lights, instantly covering an area of a million miles.

However, no matter how fast Bai Ze reacted, he couldn’t be faster than Zhao Xuanjing at this moment.

In just a "hundred thousand moments," Zhao Xuanjing suddenly threw out a scroll.

The scroll unfurled across the sky, instantly transforming into an all-encompassing "Brocade Mountains and Rivers."

The vast mountain and rivers, boundless and immense, instantly absorbed Old Ghost Wan Xing, Bai Ze, Yinglong, and Candle Dragon.
