Immortal of the Nine Realms

The handsome cultivator who had just appeared had deep blue eyes, giving off a strange feeling.

Fang Chen noticed that although the opponent's cultivation level was in the late-stage Foundation Building Realm, his spiritual energy was extremely majestic, far stronger than others at the same level.

When Mu Zhaohe saw the newcomer, his expression turned even uglier, and he lowered his head. "Brother Yun…."

"Stop embarrassing yourself," said the handsome man, snorting. "The Profound Yellow Palace cannot compare to the Purple Pole Dao Academy in terms of heritage. Since you didn't exert your full strength right from the start, you ended up losing. This is only natural."

"Brother Yun, I was careless. If I had used my full strength right from the get-go, I might not have fallen for his illusion technique," Mu Zhaohe said quietly.

Yun Tiancheng ignored Mu Zhaohe and looked at Fang Jue. "Are you a disciple of the Illusion Palace?"

"Are you Yun Tiancheng, the Chief Disciple of the Profound Gate?" Fang Jue countered without answering directly.

Yun Tiancheng nodded lightly. "Mu Zhaohe lost to you because of his inferior skills. Can you show me some of the high-level techniques of the Purple Pole Dao Academy? I've heard that your illusion techniques surpass those of the Hidden Cloud Region. I've been in seclusion for these years and haven't ventured into the world. Today, I'd like to take this opportunity to learn from you."

Fang Jue shook his head lightly. "Your cultivation level is far higher than mine."

"Rest assured, I will suppress my cultivation level by about ninety percent. Treat me as if I were in the early-stage Foundation Building Realm," Yun Tiancheng said with a faint smile, and his aura began to decrease rapidly, soon becoming similar to Fang Jue's.

The crowd's expressions were odd. Dongfang Haojie and Fairy Tianyin exchanged a glance. If Yun Tiancheng was suppressing his cultivation by ninety percent, then his current cultivation should be even lower than Mu Zhaohe's, so why was he so confident? Was it just because he was the Chief Disciple of the Profound Gate?

"By the way, if you defeat me, I will instruct the disciples of the Profound Yellow Palace not to speak lightly of the Fang Family in the future," said Yun Tiancheng.

Fang Jue had been somewhat hesitant to accept to challenge, but when he heard that, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Yun Tiancheng glanced at Mu Zhaohe. "You stand aside."

"Yes..." responded Mu Zhaohe.

He lowered his head and flew to the side.

At the same time, the spiritual energy within Fang Jue surged again, trying to drag Yun Tiancheng into the illusion.

The eerie blue eyes of Yun Tiancheng seemed to flash a faint cold light, isolating the power of illusion outside his body.

Fang Jue was shocked. "How is this possible…!"

The next moment, a giant golden armored figure suddenly stood up from the lake, and its huge palm grabbed Fang Jue.

This golden armored figure was at least a hundred feet tall, and the water in the lake only reached its knees.

After being grabbed by it, Fang Jue found that no matter how he activated his spiritual energy, he couldn't escape from it.

Fang Jue couldn't believe what had happened. "I… lost?"

"Hiss…"

The spectators all took a cold breath. A hundred-foot water dragon and a hundred-foot golden armored giant were completely different levels of existence!

That is the power of metal, the strongest offensive force among the five elements, and also the most difficult to control. Those who can condense a hundred-foot golden armored giant were all Golden Core Realm cultivators, but Yun Tiancheng was easily controlling such majestic power!

Dongfang Haojue was stunned too. "This guy didn't go back on his word, right?"

Fairy Tianyin's expression became solemn and she muttered, "His aura is indeed only at the level of an ordinary early-stage Foundation Building cultivator. He hasn't used any additional spiritual energy."

Dongfang Haojie was somewhat incredulous. "Is he actually just a monster?! He can actually mobilize such majestic power of metal at the early-stage of Foundation Building Realm?!"

Watching this unfold, Fang Chen figured out why Yun Tiancheng could control the metal element so well; it was related to the eye techniques he possessed.

In this world, eye techniques may be even rarer than the inheritance of sword cultivation. There must be other fortuitous encounters out there, thought Fang Chen.

It was similar to his encounter with that mysterious fairy. If she hadn't given him the method to cultivate the Primordial Immortal Eye, he would have never known that such miraculous techniques existed in the world.

At this moment, Mirror of the Universe spoke. "Brother, this person's eye technique has quite a background, it's called the Radiant Divine Eyes. When this eye is opened, controlling the power of the five elements is as easy as breathing. In ancient times, there was a prominent cultivation clan that had this technique passed down the generations. Every generation of cultivators who practiced this technique became top experts in the world."

Hearing that, Little Sword said, "Little Chen, seize it."

"No need for that. His Primordial Immortal Eye inheritance is not inferior to the Radiant Divine Eyes. The latter is for offensive purposes, but it consumes soul power when used. The former, however, is an excellent method for nurturing soul power," Mirror of the Universe remarked.

Fang Chen silently nodded in agreement. He had noticed too that when he cultivated the Primordial Immortal Eye, his soul slowly became stronger.

"Looks like you've lost, Fellow Cultivator Fang, " said Yun Tiancheng as he looked at Fang Jue, a faint smile playing on his lips. "From now on, it has nothing to do with you what the disciples of Profound Yellow Palace say, understood?"

Fang Jue's expression turned sour, but he didn't respond to Yun Tiancheng.

Seeing this, Yun Tiancheng's thoughts flickered, and the giant golden figure slowly clenched its fist.

The onlookers seemed to hear the sound of bones cracking.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Haojie immediately cursed, "Fang Jue has already defeated Mu Zhaohe. Are you planning to play tricks on us? If Fang Chen were here, he would have cut down this old schemer with one sword!"

Yun Tiancheng frowned slightly and looked calmly at Dongfang Haojie. "Do you know the consequences of having a loose tongue?"

Mu Zhaohe, who was initially gloating, sneered, "If Fang Chen were here, Senior Yun would teach him a lesson. It's a pity he's dead. You all keep saying his sword can slay Golden Core Realm experts, but I believe Senior Yun can crush him with just one finger."

With that, Mu Zhaohe looked at the crowd and chuckled, "You keep mentioning Fang Chen, one after another. Do you dare compare him with Senior Yun, I wonder if any of you have seen it with your own eyes?"

"Heh, all of you are just following hearsay.”

Suddenly, everyone understood why Mu Zhaohe clashed with Fang Jue.

Indeed, some cultivators unconsciously compared the talents of the Azure Cloud Empire with Fang Chen. Without exception, those geniuses were immediately put down. In addition, they had heard that Fang Chen was a descendant of Fang Tingyuan. Hundreds of years ago, Fang Tingyuan's presence in the Azure Cloud Empire also caused many geniuses to bow their heads. Those geniuses who were still alive today were almost all in the Nascent Soul Realm.

"I remember now! Fang Tingyuan once slayed a Mu Family genius who was from the Profound Yellow Palace!"

"I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems... it's probably true. They have a longstanding feud…."

The crowd's expressions became increasingly strange.

Mu Zhaohe chuckled coldly and then looked around mockingly. "Is Fang Chen here? Is he around? Where's Fang Chen?"

Dongfang Haojie and others' faces turned extremely unpleasant.

Fang Jue's eyes widened as he stared at Mu Zhaohe. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so merciful just now!

"It seems..." Mu Zhaohe chuckled lightly, " that Fang Chen is truly dead; otherwise, he would have appeared today to prove all the rumors you've spread over the years."

With that, he continued calling for Fang Chen.

"Stop yelling, I'm here."
