The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 149 The Holy Sign Appears, All Forces Gather

"I feel sorry for the people of the Taiyin Cult; they really have a lot of nerve."

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the lively conversation, an untimely remark rang out, instantly silencing the entire restaurant.

Yin Tianzhi stopped drinking and looked over with a slightly somber expression. He saw a person sitting alone, dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face. It was none other than Ning Qingyi, who had changed his form.

The Taiyin Sect member's face turned cold, and he sneered, "Who are you, daring to interfere in the affairs of my Taiyin Sect! Could it be that you are also a successor of the Heavenly Venerable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed horizontally with his palm, and the Taiyin power swept through silently, enough to obliterate the cultivator's physical body.

"Indeed, Heaven will make those it wishes to destroy go mad first. The Taiyin Sect truly deserves to be punished." Ning Qing said as he flicked his sleeves to block the attack.

Yin Tianzhi's eyes gleamed. The Taiyin Sect disciple accompanying him was the cousin of Duanmu Ming, the Taiyin Divine Child who had been killed. He was also a half-step Great Power at the Sendai Realm and had mastered the Taiyin True Scripture to an extremely high level. He was a strong contender for the next Divine Child.

"Who are you?" Yin Tianzhi asked. He was suspicious, but he couldn't see any trace of the illusion technique being used, leaving him uncertain and puzzled.

"Who I am is none of your business. But Yin Tiande, who swore brotherhood with Duanmu Ming, is lamenting his loss. What, are you going to stand with the villain who slaughtered the descendants of the Queen?" Ning Qingyi continued to question, her voice icy and terrifying.

Yin Tianzhi's face was gloomy and his voice was cold as he rebuked, "My elder brother and Brother Duanmu's affairs are none of your business, you cowardly coward."

Seemingly enraged, wisps of blood energy surged upwards from the crown of Yin Tianzhi's head, like a divine furnace unable to contain the surging divine power within his body.

Inside the restaurant, everyone felt a sense of unease, vaguely sensing that things were not going to end well, or that something big was about to happen.

"Yin Tianzhi is the Grand Palace Master's own brother. With such words and actions, could it be that he is siding with the Taiyin Divine Sect?" someone whispered from the side.

"Has the most terrifying person of the younger generation decided to challenge the successor of the Heavenly Venerable?" someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Has another point in time arrived? Is the battle for the Emperor's Path about to begin?" An older cultivator foresaw something deeper.

"How dare you bar your teeth and claws at me? You have quite the nerve." Ning Qingyi is now a man who looks down on the heroes of Ziwei. Even if a half-saint came, he would still dare to challenge him. How could he allow Yin Tianzhi to shout and yell like that?

"boom!"

Five-colored energy circulated within his body, forming a magic seal, which he then thrust down with a palm towards Yin Tianzhi and the others.

"You actually dared to lay a hand on me! How dare you!" Yin Tianzhi said coldly and menacingly. He also extended a large hand, instantly covering a small area.

"boom!"

They used their vital energy to clash with their physical bodies, their two large hands striking each other with a dull thud.

Yin Tianzhi's expression changed drastically as he felt an immense force, powerful enough to move the earth's veins, emanating from the five-colored magic seal.

"So powerful!" His heart pounded. His physical body, which had been baptized and was as solid and indestructible as a piece of eternal and immortal divine gold, was now no match for him.

"Humph!"

Ning Qingyi let out a cold shout, his entire body surging with powerful magic. His five-colored hand seals expanded again, completely suppressing Yin Tianzhi. The four Taiyin Sect disciples were instantly crushed into minced meat and completely destroyed.

He withdrew his hand, and a miniature Five Peaks Divine Mountain appeared in his right hand, with gold, blue, black, red, and yellow colors rotating endlessly.

Inside the mountain, another figure was struggling to break free; it was none other than Yin Tianzhi.

Everyone watching this scene frowned, realizing who the person in front of them was, and secretly lamented their misfortune.

"May I ask if you are a successor of the Heavenly Venerable?" Finally, a handsome young man dressed in a moon-white robe walked over.

Ning Qing glanced at him and said, "What, do you have a past with him and want to plead for him?"

Seeing that Ning Qingyi did not deny his identity, the dashing man in white breathed a sigh of relief.

"You misunderstand, sir. I am Yan Yixi, and I have no connection with this Second Palace Master of the Eight Views Palace." Yan Yixi was dressed in white, with a handsome and refined appearance, and his smile was very charming.

"He is the famous Yan Yixi, known for passing through a sea of ​​beauties without ever getting a single petal on him," a passerby whispered.

"Young Master Yixi, known as the one who transcends worldly desires and cultivates a heart free of ruthlessness." Someone's eyes flashed with shrewdness, secretly surprised: "Wasn't he supposed to be seducing the little princess of the Golden Crow Clan and being hunted down by Lu Ya? He's actually here!"

Yan Yixi's face stiffened. Feeling Ning Qingyi's calm gaze, she was filled with anxiety, fearing that the other party might slap her to death. She spoke up before being misunderstood.

"I just like all beautiful things, especially beautiful women. But heaven and earth bear witness, I have never wronged a woman."

Ning Qingyi sat back down and said, "I can see that you haven't lost your primordial yang and you're cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness."

Yan Yixi breathed a sigh of relief, but was also surprised by Ning Qingyi's discerning eye. He sat down at Ning Qingyi's table and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist has excellent eyesight."

Ning Qingyi didn't reply, but simply placed the Five Elements Mountain, which contained Yin Tianzhi's seal, on the table without driving it away.

In the distance, many people looked on with strange expressions. It was quite unexpected that these two people would sit together. However, now that things had developed to this point, the crowd was no longer in a hurry and watched from a distance. Of course, some people were also constantly transmitting information to each other about what was happening here.

"May I ask your name?" Yan Yixi asked with a smile.

"Ning Qingyi".

Everyone silently recited the name in their hearts. After so long, this person finally revealed their name.

"Brother Ning, what brings you to Zixuyuan this time?" Yan Yixi asked cautiously.

This guy is a notorious killer, having slaughtered his way from Tianyuan City all the way here, killing eleven Dao Kings and countless others—a veritable river of blood. Yet this time, his arrival at Zixuyuan is completely different; he's changed his appearance, as if he doesn't want to attract attention. And yet, his arrogant behavior in the restaurant is utterly baffling.

“Naturally, we’ll wait for a bloodbath to occur,” Ning Qingyi said calmly.

Yan Yixi was a little confused, but soon someone walked in.

"It's him, the Three-Lacking Taoist!"

"He actually came too. Is he standing up for Yin Tianzhi?"

Yan Yixi, however, seemed like a cat whose foot had been stepped on. Unbeknownst to everyone, besides Lu Ya, the Three-Lacking Daoist had also been chasing him for a full 80,000 li. Yet this time, the Three-Lacking Daoist acted as if he hadn't seen him at all, sitting down in front of Ning Qingyi.

"Have you finished the tasks I assigned you?" Ning Qingyi asked.

"Don't worry, Celestial Venerable's successor, the elders in the temple are about to make their move." As Sanque Daoist replied, he looked at the Five Elements Mountain on the table. Yin Tianzhi, who was suppressed within it, seemed to see him and made a gesture of pleading for help.

As soon as he finished speaking, from a certain spot in the Purple Void Enclosure, one could clearly see streams of vigorous blood energy, like true dragons, soaring straight into the sky.

Qi and blood flowed like dragons, one after another, piercing through the heavens and the earth!

Upon witnessing such a wondrous sight, many cultivators paled in shock; only those at the Sendai realm would exhibit such a terrifying phenomenon of their blood and qi surging to the heavens.

There is no doubt that many terrifying figures have appeared in the city!
Upon hearing the message from the Three Missing Taoist, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and many were alarmed, realizing what had happened.

boom!
A divine pillar suddenly appeared, accompanied by a roar.

"Chang Sheng Guan, how dare you attack the headquarters of the Divine Sect? Do you intend to become enemies of Taiyin?!"

"The Duanmu lineage is a treacherous villain. Today, we are merely eliminating a scourge to comfort the spirit of the Emperor in heaven." Two voices rang out, one after the other, and everyone suddenly felt a strong premonition that the Taiyin Sect was doomed.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, the heavens and earth were pierced, and the Changsheng Temple that had appeared in broad daylight flashed into existence. A vast and powerful pressure surged forth, shaking the entire Zixuyuan.

"This is... the sacred weapon from the Changsheng Temple?!" Everyone was shocked.

A rumbling sound came as the people of Changsheng Temple made their move, unleashing an ancient holy weapon to suppress the enemy.

It is magnificent, with every tile and stone bearing the marks of time, exuding an enduring aura.

"Do they think my Taiyin Sect has no one to rely on?!"

Within the Taiyin Sect's headquarters, divine might was repeatedly unleashed, causing everyone to change color.

"Ancient sages! Has the Taiyin Sect finally unleashed its full power?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ning Qingyi. Clearly, if it weren't for the Longevity Temple, it would be Ning Qingyi who would be facing this ancient sage right now.

The Three-Missing Taoist also changed color, but his eyes flashed with light, and he calmed down.

“Not a saint, this kind of pressure is that of a half-saint.” Ning Qingyi had been in close contact with ancient saints, so he could naturally tell the difference between the two.

Half-saint and saint—the difference is only one word, but the difference is enormous. One can only be looked up to, while the other is high above.

This is a heavenly barrier. Many great masters have entered this realm, but they are trapped here for a lifetime and cannot pass through it. Many people with extraordinary talent are blocked here.

Looking at his expression, the Three-Missing Daoist understood that the other party definitely had the confidence to contend with a half-saint. Thinking of his incredible achievements along the way, his heart pounded wildly. Could this person even kill a half-saint?
Ning Qing glanced at him and said, "Although I am not afraid of half-saints, I cannot kill them with my own hands. Perhaps I will be able to do so when I have one foot in the Dao-Slaying Realm."

These words were incredibly arrogant.

Everyone gasped. They didn't doubt the truthfulness of Ning Qingyi's words either, but instead kept finding reasons for his confidence, and eventually they all came to the same conclusion.

God's ban!

The person in front of me has definitely entered the realm of divine forbidden realms. Only someone like that would dare to claim that he could kill a half-saint!

"Brother Dao is indeed a man of extraordinary talent," said the Three-Missing Daoist, looking at him intently.

While they were chatting, the outside was almost in an uproar.

It was only because the Taiyin Sect produced a half-saint, while the Changsheng Temple truly produced an ancient saint, whose majestic saintly power swept across the heavens and earth!

The entire city was gripped by fear; no one could remain calm. The vast majority collapsed to the ground. The sheer power was overwhelming, and almost no one could withstand it.

"boom!"

The Changsheng Temple revived and crashed down. The half-saint of the Taiyin Sect also did his best to fight back, summoning an ancient mirror to block the Changsheng Temple. However, he soon discovered in horror that the ancient mirror was entangled and flew into the sky along with the Changsheng Temple.

"Hurry up, tonight looks like a bad night."

The half-saint of the Taiyin Sect gritted his teeth and sent a telepathic message, but he had no choice but to chase after them.

The Purple Star Imperial Weapons have vanished without a trace. Each sacred weapon represents a profound foundation, and no one would easily give them up.

Seeing the sacred weapon disappear, the masters of the Longevity Sect finally unleashed their full power, with one top expert after another charging in to contend with the Taiyin Sect.

The divine might was like a tsunami, like a series of volcanoes erupting, all connected together, stirring up the sky.

The various powerful forces within the city maintained an eerie calm, sealing off the surrounding area and refusing to take sides, thus protecting the entire city. Even the Ziwei Divine Dynasty did not intervene, with several important figures observing in silence.

Finally, an hour later, a mutilated corpse fell from the sky—it was none other than the previously vanished half-saint. The shouts and battle cries within the Taiyin Sect's stronghold ceased, and one Taiyin Sect corpse after another was thrown out.

The Taiyin Sect has been expelled from the list in yet another location.

"Brother Dao, we have completed the task you entrusted to us. There will be a celebration banquet tomorrow, please come and join us." After stating the time and place, the Three-Missing Daoist was about to take his leave.

"Wait a minute, I won't make things difficult for you. Take this person away." Ning Qingyi threw out the Five Elements Divine Mountain that sealed Yin Tianzhi: "As for the seal, let his elder brother break it himself. As a descendant of Laozi, he has some skills."

The Taoist Sanque was somewhat surprised, gave a slight bow, and then left.

"Did you hear that? So, are you coming to the banquet with me tomorrow?" Ning Qingyi suddenly asked.

Yan Yixi was taken aback, pondered for three breaths, and then nodded. He cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, yet he was most adept at perceiving the emotions of others; Ning Qingyi harbored no ill will towards him.

The next day, at the Changsheng Palace.

The place was bustling with activity, and guests came in an endless stream; many powerful figures came to pay their respects.

Not only does the story of the Longevity Temple end, but the birth of an ancient sage and the appearance of a successor of the Heavenly Venerable are also worthwhile for everyone to witness.

"The Emperor of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty has arrived!"

"The Lord of the Human King's Palace has arrived!"

"The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace has arrived!"

……

One holy master after another arrived, their faces expressionless, yet a subtle undercurrent flowed between them as they exchanged glances. Of course, besides themselves, outstanding disciples from their respective sects also came.

For example, the First Goddess Yi Qingwu, the current Divine Son of the Human King Palace Chu Renxiong, and Princess Yue Shi of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty all came to the palace one by one.

However, everyone knows that the real protagonist of this show has not yet arrived.

Inside the hall, the abbot of Changsheng Temple sat at the lower seat, while the main seat was empty and the second seat was also empty.

"The Daoist disciple of the Lingbao lineage has arrived!"

The music inside the hall was slightly off-beat, and soon everyone saw a handsome young man in a black robe walk in.

He didn't possess any special aura; he seemed like an ordinary person. But the higher one's cultivation level, the more one could sense that in his every move, countless principles resonated, completely merging with heaven and earth.

Everyone looked at him with solemn expressions.

"Daozi, please." The abbot of Changsheng Temple raised his hand, gesturing for Ning Qingyi to sit in the next seat.

Ning Qingyi was not intimidated at all and sat down without the slightest hesitation. The moment he sat down, a figure appeared in the main seat.

This was a gaunt-looking old man in an old Taoist robe, who seemed to have walked out of ancient times, exuding an air of endless antiquity and vicissitude.

"I apologize for disturbing you all."
