Capítulo 1485: Chapter 803: Layers of Backup Plans

It seemed that Zhao Xuanjing sensed Zhao Sheng’s arrival as he slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of battle intent emerged in his gaze.

Without waiting for Zhao Sheng to speak, he suddenly laughed aloud, saying: “Haha, you’ve come at the right time! Let me show you a move from this old man first!”

Not letting the words settle, Zhao Xuanjing waved his long sleeves, and a yellow light suddenly soared into the air. In an instant, it transformed into a mountain peak with grotesque rocks, occupying most of the cavern’s sky. The densely packed Earth Element True Text was spread all over the mountain, exuding an overwhelming power, as it heavily smashed towards Zhao Sheng’s head.

Before the mountain could fall, an indescribably heavy force already enveloped Zhao Sheng completely, causing the surrounding void to nearly freeze.

“Boom” rang an earth-shattering loud noise, with the void fracturing inch by inch, its might terrifyingly astonishing!

Unexpectedly… Zhao Sheng neither dodged nor avoided but instead, raised his arms with a smile and actively met the attack.

The mountain roared as it crashed down, accompanied by a thunderous sound, shaking the ground and mountains within the entire cavern, cracking the void into countless space rifts.

However, the mountain did not continue to fall; astonishingly, it abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanjing’s smile froze on his face, instantaneously revealing a trace of astonishment.

This Xuanhu Mountain was created after Zhao Xuanjing devoted countless efforts over thousands of years using a Star Core, further reinforced with a thousandfold Gravity Law True Text. He alone knew best its fearsome power.

At that moment, the mountain was slowly being lifted, as if it was being raised from below!

Indeed, that was the case!

Underneath the massive Xuanhu Mountain, a giant, standing nine zhang tall, robust as a mountain, emanating faint golden light all over his body, was surprisingly holding the mountain aloft, as if lifting a mere giant rock.

Zhao Xuanjing was utterly astonished, exclaiming: “How could mere physical strength possibly lift Xuanhu Mountain!”

Bear in mind, he too practiced Body Refinement extensively, believing himself no less proficient than powerful cultivators of the same realm.

Yet, despite his formidable physical prowess, his mere flesh couldn’t withstand Xuanhu Mountain’s effortless smash.

At that precise moment, Zhao Sheng exhaled forcefully, shouting thunderously: “Rise… Open!”

Just as the words left his mouth, his body expanded double in size, fists clenched, and the fists emitted a dazzling electric light, striking the bottom of Xuanhu Mountain amidst the shouts.

An earth-shaking explosion erupted, sounding even louder than Xuanhu Mountain’s previous smash.

Xuanhu Mountain flew backward, ripping the void apart with a massive black “chasm” spanning over ten miles, disgorging endless space-time storms.

Yet, in the next moment, Zhao Sheng waved his hands, unleashed an extensive electric light that appeared out of nowhere, covering the “chasm” in the void, and repelled the space-time storm.

Zhao Xuanjing gasped in shock, immediately released his Divine Thought, enveloping Xuanhu Mountain and promptly halting it in mid-air.

With a swift flicker of thoughts, Xuanhu Mountain rapidly shrunk, transforming into a yellow light, and in a flash, it disappeared into Zhao Xuanjing’s body.

Witnessing this scene, the battle intent in Zhao Sheng’s eyes dissipated, and his figure shrank back to normal size. Then, with a flash of thunder light, he instantaneously moved closer.

“Good fellow! This Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill is indeed extraordinary! Just your physical strength alone allows you to be renowned in the same stage. Unless someone in the mid-stage of Integration intervenes, fellow daoists in the early stage of Integration stand little chance against you!” Zhao Xuanjing glanced up and down at Zhao Sheng, marveling.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng humbly replied: “Taiyi Spirit Realm is always full of Hidden Dragons. Big brother, do not underestimate the world. I possess an immortal law, but Taiyi Spirit Palace and other Immortal Sects have their own laws handed down; which is stronger or weaker can only be concluded through real confrontation.”

Zhao Xuanjing nodded, saying: “Those words are indeed fair. Take the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect, for instance. The Sect’s Treasure Scripture, ‘Spirit-controlling Immortal Ascension Scripture’, the last chapter known as ‘Fetal Transformation and Shape-shifting’, is a profound law leading directly to the Tao. Unfortunately, I joined halfway and might not learn this immortal law!”

“Don’t worry, big brother! When you ascend to Crossing Tribulation one day, the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect will undoubtedly strive to win hearts. Then, it would be impossible not to teach you the ‘Fetal Transformation and Shape-shifting’ chapter!” Zhao Sheng comforted.

“Crossing Tribulation? You dare to think this! Yet, I dare not entertain such hopes…” Zhao Xuanjing shook his head, speaking with a slight self-mockery.

“Let’s not talk about that. Did you come to find this old man today for a certain reason?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng spoke: “Not to hide from big brother, I previously visited the Immortal Qi Lake. Upon returning, I was unexpectedly…”

He recounted the encounter of being ambushed on his return. Then, he brought out the Void Pupil Pearl and handed it over.

Moreover, with a gentle swipe of his hand, the air before him rippled, displaying the lifelike and vivid appearance of a Gun Robe Elder.

Zhao Xuanjing took the Void Pupil Pearl, releasing a thread of Divine Thought into it while observing the Gun Robe Elder, his expression growing serious.

“Hard to say! I’ve only recently reached Integration, seen many fellow daoists, but never this person, nor have I heard any word about him. Though there are many treasures inside the Void Pupil Pearl, none can signify… wait!”

During the conversation, a crystal light flashed in mid-air, and suddenly there appeared a crystal stone statue with a beast head and human body.

Zhao Xuanjing’s gaze fell upon the crystal image and examined it closely, reflecting thoughtfully: “I seem to have seen this thing somewhere. You should patiently wait for a few days while I return to the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect and inquire about it.”
