Kong Ye’s attacking strength was extremely terrifying. His immortal seals had immense power. Qin Wentian radiated brilliant immortal light as the tyrannical strength of his immortal foundation gushed forth frenziedly. The shadow of a divine turtle enveloped him, his form also expanded as he stepped in front of Nanfeng Yunxi, placing her behind him, not allowing her to suffer any disturbance. At the same time, God’s Hand activated once more.
He activated the Fiendgod Heavenly Suppression Art. Given Qin Wentian’s perfect physique and saint-grade immortal foundation, his strength was terrifying to the extreme. Every time he blasted out an attack with God’s Hand, the power unleashed shook the entire space. He exchanged blows head-on directly against Kong Ye, the impact of the blows ravaged the entire surroundings as a cacophony of thunderous booms echoed endlessly.
Kong Ye emitted a peacock-sounding shrill screech. The seven-colored light radiating from the ancient peacock’s manifestation grew even more dazzling. Qin Wentian’s ‘vision’ grew even more blurry despite him closing his eyes. His immortal sense seemed obstructed somehow. The seven-colored light was distorting one’s senses, causing one to feel everything was illusory. And what was even more terrifying was that amidst all this confusion, ancient seals endlessly formed and were frenziedly shooting towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian’s immortal foundation radiated boundless light that enveloped him within. Qin Wentian blasted out with God’s Hand, materializing the form of a greater demon named Hundun (Chaos). The demonic manifestation appeared in the air and let out a heaven-shaking roar of anger. After that, it wrenched open its malevolent-looking maw and completely devoured the ancient seals shooting at Qin Wentian. It was terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian once obtained an ancient treasured cauldron in the City of Ancient Emperors. In that ancient cauldron, there were secret arts of eight greater demons recorded within. They were respectively: Demonic Dragon, Great Roc, Divine Statue, Vermillion Bird, Kirin, Zhen Kong and Hundun. Each of these secret arts contained boundless might and profound mysteries. Right now, Qin Wentian could only unleash the tip of the iceberg. He was simply at the elementary step of cultivating these techniques.
The secret arts of these eight greater demons were unfathomably powerful, able to devour the sky and destroy everything. The ancient demonic peacock trembled as the might of its seals were suppressed.
Kong Ye didn’t expect that Qin Wentian would actually be so powerful. Even though the secret arts might be overwhelming in power, Qin Wentian was after all, only at the first-level of immortal foundation. Him being able to unleash such a level of power naturally had something to do with his perfect physique and his saint-grade immortal foundation. His immortal foundation was without flaws, and able to suppress other immortal foundations. Not only that, God’s Hand was also considered a top-tier secret art and could further augment his strength.
Upon stacking all these methods, the might he unleashed exceeded the limits of his cultivation level.
One must know that even if Qin Wentian was a heaven chosen, his cultivation base was two levels lower than Kong Ye. He could insta-kill ordinary first-level immortals effortlessly. For the Immortal Foundation Realm, the strength difference between levels was extremely vast. A third-level immortal foundation was many times stronger compared to a first-level immortal foundation.

In the ancestral lands, we are here to act as protectors. The aim of the Southern Phoenix Clan is for us to protect the holy maidens against disturbances. It is not our place to determine who among them receives the inheritance. However, you want to break this rule. You have completely misunderstood the meaning of us acting as protectors.
Qin Wentian coldly spoke. His attacks blasted out endlessly, suppressing immortals and devils under the heavens.

Hmph.
Kong Ye coldly snorted. His tail fanned out once more, congregating boundless seals that shot over, aiming for the greater demon Hundun. His immortal foundation thrummed, granting him more power. Those ancient seals transformed into a ray of sacred light that blasted into the greater demon causing it to tremble violently, heavily injured to the extent where it could dissipate at any moment.
Within Qin Wentian’s body, his saint-grade immortal foundation radiated a destructive light that manifested several ancient halberds. Raven-black light coated these halberds as they shimmered with pure destruction. These halberds were then blasted out via God’s Hand, further boosting their power. All of them erupted through the air with torrential strength, blasting at Kong Ye. Qin Wentian’s eyes were still closed, he was using his heart to ‘sense’ his opponent’s movements

RUMBLE~
The halberd slammed into the ancient peacock, penetrating it through cleanly. The peacock manifestation had no way to endure such destructive damage.
Another incomparably large halberd shot out like a streak of black lightning, instantly obliterating the peacock manifestation completely. It’s seven-colored light dissipated away. Kong Ye was blasted back as he groaned in agony.
Qin Wentian hadn’t stopped his attacks yet. Kong Ye’s expression turned extremely ugly, the numerous halberds shot out unceasingly, blasting into him. He was already knocked away from his position and it was basically impossible for him to continue protecting Nanfeng Shengge.

Since you wanted to fight me so much, you should pay the price for your defeat.
Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
Holy Maiden Shengge, I’m afraid your journey ends here.

The sound of his voice drifted into the ears of Nanfeng Shengge, causing her to tremble. Her eyes opened and she turned her head back, looking at her protector Kong Ye. Kong Ye’s countenance was completely white, he felt like he had no face to face Nanfeng Shengge.

Shengge’s comprehension ability isn’t in anyway inferior to Nanfeng Yunxi.
Kong Ye coldly spoke as he stared at Qin Wentian.

Didn’t I say before? If you lost, you would implicate Holy Maiden Shengge.
Qin Wentian emotionlessly replied. He stepped out, following Nanfeng Yunxi and continued to protect her by her side. Nanfeng Shengge was silent for a moment before she actually smile,
Yunxi truly had good judgement, choosing you as her protector.


Holy Maiden Shengge has no need to be unduly humble. If it wasn’t for Kong Ye, victory and defeat wouldn’t be certain.
Qin Wentian smiled. This Nanfeng Shengge was beautiful and her demeanor was something that far surpassed Nanfeng Aoxue.

Protectors have always been a part of these trails. Defeat means defeat.
Nanfeng Shengge laughed. After which, she turned to Kong Ye,
Kong Ye, I’m already very grateful that you agreed to help me. There’s no need to blame yourself. If you didn’t help me earlier, I might not have reached this step.

Kong Ye stared at Nanfeng Shengge’s beautiful smile as the guilt in his heart intensified. If Nanfeng Shengge acted cold to him, he might actually have felt better.

I didn’t help you to fulfil the wish of becoming the Holy Successor and on the contrary, my actions implicated you instead. Why are you still grateful to me?
Kong Ye shook his head. He then turned and stared at Qin Wentian, the battle intent radiating from him towered up into the sky. He wanted nothing more than to fight again and cleanse the shame of this defeat.
Nanfeng Shengge didn’t say anything more. She knew Kong Ye would carve the experience of this defeat into his heart.
But at this moment, Qin Wentian had a frown on his face as he stared in a certain direction. Nanfeng Qingruo continued ascending upwards, her speed was way faster than before, faster even when compared to Nanfeng Shengge and Nanfeng Yunxi. She seemed poised to be the one in the lead.

What’s going on? Earlier, was she hiding her strength intentionally?
Qin Wentian stared at her. He saw Nanfeng Qingruo and Jiang Ziyu walking side by side. Both of them were actually infusing their immortal sense into the parasol leaves. At this moment, two leaves fell from the sky and descended onto where their feet were and transformed into steps.

How can this be?
Nanfeng Shengge also saw this scene. Puzzlement flashed through her eyes as she continued watching.
Nanfeng Qingruo wasn’t comprehending the leaves alone. Jiang Ziyu could also do it as well. However, Jiang Ziyu wasn’t someone from the Southern Phoenix Clan.

Nanfeng Shengge, why can he do so?
Qin Wentian could also tell that Jiang Ziyu was able to comprehend the leaves as well, while he and Kong Ye found it impossible to do so.

The innate techniques and arts the Jiang Clan cultivates in are extremely mysterious. It’s rumored that they follow the path of the Buddha, cultivating buddhist arts and techniques. There must be some supreme Buddhist Innate Techniques that contain boundless possibilities which allowed him to do so. In the past, there has never been someone from the Jiang Clan who entered our ancestral lands before. Jiang Ziyu is the first one.
Nanfeng Shengge then continued,
I heard that there’s a very powerful innate technique of the buddhist path named the Heavenly Vision Technique. Users of this technique would be able to see past all mysteries, looking upon the truth of all things. Could it be that Jiang Ziyu has mastered this technique?


But if this is the case, if in the future he doesn’t marry into our Southern Phoenix Clan, wouldn’t that be…?
Nanfeng Yunxi’s brows furrowed.

What’s in the parasol leaves?
Qin Wentian asked.

Information recorded by my Southern Phoenix Clan, there are also secret arts specific to my clan itself. It is a test to see how familiar we are with the ancient phoenix clan’s ancient records, as well as the level of our comprehension ability.
Nanfeng Shengge replied.
Nanfeng Qingruo and Jiang Ziyu’s speed got faster and faster, already surpassing Nanfeng Shengge, and gradually catching up with Nanfeng Yunxi and Qin Wentian. Most probably, they would overtake them not too long later.

Does your Southern Phoenix Clan permit such a thing to happen?
Qin Wentian asked.

Jiang Ziyu was invited here by Nanfeng Qingruo, he can be considered a guest here. Even if he finds out some secrets related to my Southern Phoenix Clan, we would have no way to blame him.
Nanfeng Shengge spoke. This was something the Southern Phoenix Clan was willing to do. He was a guest, and in addition considering his status as someone from the Jiang Clan, the Southern Phoenix Clan had no reason to touch him.

How about Nanfeng Qingruo? She should know this right? She is so audacious?
Qin Wentian spoke.

Under such circumstances, she would become the Holy Successor of this generation. At that time, her position would be extraordinary. Who could still say anything by then?
Nanfeng Shengge replied.
Both Nanfeng Qingruo and Jiang Ziyu were no simple individuals.

In that case, we can only obstruct Jiang Ziyu.
Qin Wentian coldly stated. If Nanfeng Qingruo and Jiang Ziyu are both comprehending, Nanfeng Yunxi would inevitably be defeated. They were cheating.
Qin Wentian and Jiang Ziyu walked higher and higher. Nanfeng Shengge who was in the middle gradually could only see them if she inclined her head. Kong Ye walked to the side of Nanfeng Shengge and asked,
Have you given up?


Nope. But at the end, the inheritance would still not be mine. Regardless of Qin Wentian or Jiang Ziyu, both of them are exceedingly tough to deal with.
Nanfeng Shengge stared at the two silhouettes who were above her. So it turned out that she, from the start till now, was nothing more than an observer.

Jiang Ziyu.
At this moment, Qin Wentian called out. His voice drifted into Jiang Ziyu’s ears but Jiang Ziyu acted like he heard nothing and continued with his comprehensions. The parasol leaves continued landing beneath his feet, transforming into steps.
