Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 534 One Man Forms an Army (Seeking Subscriptions)
Outside Wangyue Immortal City, the Zhenyi Sect army had scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in disarray, creating a chaotic scene.

At this moment, Master Qingming had lost all trace of his immortal demeanor. His face was deathly pale, and he was filled with dread. He was riding a flying sword with flowing water and spiritual weapon, pushing his speed to the limit as he fled frantically.

At this moment, the scene from just now kept replaying in his mind, like a nightmare.

Xuanbing Zhenren of Qingyun Sect strolled through the army formation, freezing all laws and encasing thousands of soldiers in ice wherever he went.

What terrifying supernatural power that is!
They're both newly promoted cultivators, yet the difference between them is so vast!
"We must report this to our Sect Leader. This person is no ordinary Golden Core cultivator, Senior Brother Zhuo..."

"Senior Brother Zhuo's Yuan Magnetic Aura might not be able to subdue him!"

He thought to himself.

However, just when he thought he had escaped death and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sizzle!"
Behind them, a dazzling azure lightning bolt tore through the sky, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, as it hurtled towards them.

Amidst the lightning, Shen Xuan's figure emerged, his eyes icy cold, like a god who wields thunder.

"Lightning Release Technique? How can it be so fast!"

Master Qingming was terrified and began to cast spells and hand gestures to hasten his escape.

The result was futile.

After more than ten breaths.

The lightning bolt struck first, blocking his path as if shattering the void.

The lightning dissipated, revealing Shen Xuan's calm and composed face.

"Fellow Daoist, you should just surrender!"

Shen Xuan's voice was like ice piercing through.

A desperate madness flashed in Qingming Zhenren's eyes as he shouted sternly, "Fellow Daoist Xuanbing, don't push your luck!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

He formed hand seals, and his water elemental energy erupted wildly, as if a vast ocean was appearing behind him.

"Supernatural Power: Divine Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"

"Moo!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded, and the vast power of water element instantly condensed into a deep blue water dragon that was a hundred feet long, with ferocious scales and claws, and lifelike appearance.

The water dragon roared, carrying immense power that could overturn rivers and seas, and opened its huge mouth, rushing towards Shen Xuan.

This is a divine power comprehended by the Pure Bright Immortal, powerful enough to shake mountains.

Faced with this powerful attack, a hint of mockery appeared in Shen Xuan's eyes.

He never imagined that someone would use water magic in front of him.

"Do whatever you want."

Shen Xuan chuckled lightly, without even using his spiritual weapon, he raised his right hand and gently clenched his five fingers towards the giant water dragon that was rushing towards him!
In an instant, a more vast, profound, and refined spiritual light of water magic emanated from Shen Xuan's palm.

Formed from the pure water essence of the Pure Bright True Man, the hundred-zhang-long water dragon exuded a fierce aura, as if it had encountered a true king of the waters.

With a mournful cry, the enormous dragon body began to violently tremble uncontrollably before collapsing and transforming back into the most primal water elemental energy.

These abundant watery energies did not dissipate; instead, they surrounded Shen Xuan as if paying homage to a monarch, dancing joyfully.

"puff!"

The fact that his proud supernatural power was so easily broken by Xuanbing Zhenren left Qingming Zhenren feeling as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, finding it hard to believe.

"Impossible! How could this be!"

The True Man of Qingming could not understand.

He was the prodigy of the Zhenyi Sect in water magic.

The water magic he had comprehended was like child's play in front of his opponent.

There was absolutely no room for resistance.

The essence of water spirit after the collapse actually turned against him and rushed to his body.

The problem is, Master Xuanbing still looked disgusted and didn't absorb it.

Shen Xuan didn't want to waste time.

A light flick of the finger.

A flash of blue light appeared in the distance in an instant.

Qingming Zhenren instinctively wanted to dodge.

Only then did he realize that the blue light seemed to have transcended the limitations of time and space.

"laugh!"

An extremely cold force instantly invaded, easily freezing its inner core and cutting off its spiritual energy circulation.

Master Qingming's body stiffened, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

He fell from the flying sword like a puppet with its strings cut.

Shen Xuan swept his sleeves around it, engulfing it without even glancing at it, before transforming into a bolt of lightning and instantly returning to the foot of Wangyue Immortal City.

From catching up to capturing the opposing commander, it only took a little over ten breaths.

The newly promoted True Core Realm cultivator of the True Meaning Sect was utterly powerless against Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan did not stop there.

Instead, it continuously shatters the void, casting spells to form a mysterious ice domain.

The entire army of thousands of cultivators from the True Meaning Sect, except for a few lucky ones, were all turned into ice sculptures.

The cultivators on the city gate were completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Shen Xuan arrived at the city that the Qingyun Sect disciples guarding the city came to their senses.

"Quickly! Open the city gates! Welcome True Immortal Xuanbing into the city!"

The protective shield of the city is activated.

Shen Xuan entered the city, and the Silver Horned Heavenly Horse followed closely behind, transforming into a streak of silver light.

Behind him were thousands of lifelike ice sculptures.

Led by True Person Xuanyuan of the Qingyun Sect, the cultivators of Wangyue Immortal City lined up to welcome him according to their status and rank, each filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy.

"Welcome, True Immortal Xuanbing!"

"Master Xuanbing is mighty!"

Cheers and shouts of gratitude rose and fell.

The way everyone looked at Shen Xuan was as if they were looking up at a god, full of respect and awe.

Master Xuanyuan strode forward and bowed deeply: "Junior Brother Xuanbing, if you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been humiliated!"

He is a true immortal, and can leave peacefully.

However, the fall of Wangyue Immortal City was a heavy blow to the Qingyun Sect's battle situation.

"Not at all. Even if Xuan Bing hadn't come, this person couldn't have done anything to Senior Brother Xuan Yuan!"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

He casually placed the ashen-faced Qingming Zhenren on the ground, speaking calmly.

Then, Shen Xuan looked at the thousands of ice sculptures outside the city. Those True Meaning Sect cultivators, in various postures, all retained the terror and struggle of their last moment.

"Those frozen outside the city have not perished."

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "They were sealed with Xuanbing by me, and have lost all their magic power. We can escort them all back to the city and keep them under strict guard."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanyuan was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"Are they still alive?"

"They are alive. These people are excellent bargaining chips. If the True Meaning Sect wants to redeem these disciples and this newly promoted True Core Realm cultivator, they must pay a sufficient price."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and their gazes toward Shen Xuan became even more respectful.

Capture them but do not kill them; use the enemy as resources.

This move not only demonstrates absolute strength, but also a brilliant strategic vision.

Thousands of low-ranking disciples, and one newly promoted True Person.

Such leverage is enough to make the Zhenyi Sect hesitant to act rashly.

It can be said that the war between the Qingyun Sect and the Zhenyi Sect must stop in the short term.

"Junior Brother Xuanbing is insightful!"

Master Xuanyuan clapped his hands in admiration: "Your foresight is truly admirable, Senior Brother. I will immediately arrange for people to carefully transport these ice figures back to the city's spirit prison for safekeeping!"

After giving his instructions, Master Xuanyuan invited Shen Xuan into the city lord's mansion.

After serving the spiritual tea, Master Xuanyuan's expression turned solemn: "Junior Brother Xuanbing, I heard that you have come here to fight Zhuo Wuyan of the Zhenyi Sect?"

Shen Xuan took a sip of spiritual tea and asked directly, "Senior brother, what is the current situation on all fronts? Where is the main force of the True Intent Sect? What are the casualties among our sect's cultivators?"

Master Xuanyuan sighed: "The True Meaning Sect is well-prepared this time and its offensive is extremely fierce. The main force is led by Zhuo Wuyan and is launching a fierce attack on Tianyuan Immortal City, which is defended by the main force of the Xuantian Sect."

"Tianyuan Immortal City is a crucial hub in the heart of the Song Kingdom. If it falls, the consequences will be unimaginable. The other six sects' immortal cities are also frequently in dire need of help and can only hold their ground and wait for reinforcements."

He paused, a hint of helplessness on his face: "That Zhuo Wuyan from the Zhenyi Sect is truly remarkable! Right now, he's under the Tianyuan Immortal City, challenging everyone every day, specifically naming and threatening to challenge the newly promoted True Persons of the Seven Sects. He's already defeated four True Persons from the Xuantian Sect and the Jinyang Sect, his arrogance is extremely overbearing!"

Shen Xuan chuckled softly.

He came for this very person.

He put down his teacup and abruptly stood up.

"Tianyuan Immortal City, right?"

Shen Xuan said in a deep voice, "I'll go now."

Master Xuanyuan clasped his hands in a salute and said, "I wish Junior Brother Xuanbing a resounding victory!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, I am confident of victory."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xuan walked out of the city lord's mansion, summoned the Silver Horned Pegasus, and disappeared into the sky.

Master Xuanyuan watched as Shen Xuan headed straight for Tianyuan Immortal City.

Mixed feelings.

"Shen Xuan, Ice Law Golden Core, Profound Ice True Person. I never expected that the strongest among our generation of disciples would be him!"

……

In Tianyuan Immortal City, two armies faced off, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.

The True Meaning Sect's army of cultivators numbered in the tens of thousands, their banners fluttering as they formed a continuous battle formation.

At the front of the battle, the True Meaning Sect's Immortal Xianyi sat upright on a floating war chariot, holding a whisk, with a faint smile on his face, exuding an air of composure and sharp, piercing eyes.

Beside him were two Golden Core cultivators from the True Meaning Sect, Worry-Free True Man and Supreme True Man.

On the opposite side, the allied forces of the Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Qingyun Sect also formed battle formations, facing off against each other.

Xuanwen Zhenren of Xuantian Sect flew to the front of the formation, his face solemn.

Beside him were the Blazing Sun True Person of the Golden Sun Sect and the Spirit Sword True Person of the Azure Cloud Sect.

The six Golden Core cultivators gathered together beneath the Heavenly Origin Immortal City.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan, we have been locked in a stalemate for more than half a year, wasting our spiritual energy and causing unnecessary casualties.”

The voice of the Immortal of Leisure resounded throughout both armies.

"Why not let the younger generation demonstrate their skills and exchange techniques on the battlefield? Let the outcome of their demonstrations determine the ownership of Tianyuan Immortal City?"

"How about we avoid a large-scale battle that would only result in unnecessary bloodshed?"

The words of the Immortal Leisure sound grand and dignified, but in reality, they concealed malicious intentions.

Everyone knows that the Zhenyi Sect has a newly promoted True Core Realm cultivator named Zhuo Wuyan.

The so-called "the younger generation's demonstration of the Dharma" was actually a one-sided crushing of the three sects of the Song Kingdom by the Zhenyi Sect, using this to humiliate the fighting spirit of the cultivators of the three sects.

Master Xuanwen said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Xianyi has a good plan. Why let the younger generation do the actual fighting when we are performing a ritual in front of the battle? Let's just start the battle directly."

"Fellow Daoist Xuandao, you are mistaken."

The Immortal Xianyi stroked his beard and chuckled, “The struggle for supremacy in the Great Dao is a natural law. You and I are both Golden Core cultivators who have been famous for many years; how can we easily perform magic?”

"My True Meaning Sect fought against three opponents single-handedly. Could it be that the descendants of the three sects of the Song Kingdom are all cowards, too afraid to accept the challenge?"

These words enraged the cultivators of the Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Qingyun Sect, who were all powerless to do anything about it.

This battle determined the ownership of Tianyuan Immortal City.

Without unwavering confidence in victory, one dares not engage in battle.

In recent years, among the seven sects of the Song state, there have been more than a dozen newly promoted True Elixir Masters.

Four of them were defeated by Zhuo Wuyan.

He is still the best among these newly promoted True Core Realm cultivators.

They came from the Xuantian Sect, Jinyang Sect, and Shenjian Sect respectively.

Master Xuanwen's face turned ashen.

At this moment, a figure arrived at the front of the formation.

"Zhuo Wuyan, whose Daoist name is Wuxuan, greets fellow Daoists from the Song Kingdom."

Dressed in a black robe, with an arrogant face, he exuded powerful magic and a fierce, domineering aura.

His gaze was like lightning, sweeping across the army of cultivators from the three sects opposite him without restraint.

Finally, the gaze fell upon Master Xuanwen.

"I have heard that the Xuantian Sect recently has a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator named the Carefree Immortal. I, Wu Xuan, am not talented enough, but I would like to learn from him."

"Junior Brother Xiaoyao has other important matters to attend to and is not here."

Zhuo Wuyan's voice echoed in all directions: "With the carefree immortal absent, not a single one of the three sects of your Song Kingdom dares to fight? Are you all a bunch of cowardly rats?"

A burst of laughter and curses erupted from the Zhenyi Sect's formation, their arrogance reaching its peak.

The Song Dynasty's imperial clan was deathly silent.

Master Xuanwen's face was extremely grim.

"Chirp!"

From the depths of the sky, a clear and melodious horse neighing suddenly rang out.
