In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu immediately looked at Abbot Xingyin.

She was a newborn and knew nothing about anything, and the person she trusted most was Xingyin.

Because Xingyin is an assassin and a martial arts fanatic, she wouldn't lie easily.

“Amitabha, this old monk has never heard of the descendants of the Great Zhou royal family.”

This is something that should never be seen by the world, and I myself am not very familiar with it. However, even if it's not true, a Grandmaster-level expert should still be involved!

Donghuang Taiyi's lips twitched, but he understood the special nature of the Great Zhou royal family's lineage.

If it weren't for Grandmaster Xingyin and the extremely hidden peerless master Lei Laowu, none of those present would have survived.

"The descendants of the Great Zhou royal family? So what?"

"That person didn't keep the appointment back then, and we have no connection with him anymore. Now that you've come and know my identity, you must also know that I'm a prisoner of the Zhang family?"

"I know that, and I do not wish for Lady Xuan Nu to leave the Zhang family."

Now that Lady Xuan Nu has just awakened, her physical condition is unknown. Young Master Zhang's Pure Yang Finger is a peerless skill that can bring the dead back to life, and the Zhang family is the best place for her to heal.

I have come here today hoping that Your Excellency Xuan Nu can answer a few of my questions.

"Say!"

Xuan Nu nodded. After all, they were both Grandmaster-level experts, so she had to give them this much face.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at the indifferent Xuan Nu, and without saying a word, took out a pendant that resembled a bronze jade, and said softly:

"I know that Your Excellency Xuan Nu also possesses a piece of such meteorite bronze. I wonder if Your Excellency Xuan Nu would be so kind as to bestow it upon your descendants?"

"A token? Too bad you're too late."

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

This thing was already taken by some young master Zhang, who has already refined it for his own use.

"I was previously controlled, and this thing turned against me; taking it won't do me any good."

Upon hearing that the token had fallen into Zhang Xiaoshan's hands, Donghuang Taiyi frowned.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan actually refined it for his own use and used it to counter Xuan Nu.

"Does Your Excellency, the Mystic Maiden, know the meaning of the Blood Moon over Kunlun?"

"Kunlun Blood Moon? You even know that?"

This is an ancient legend that has been passed down in the Kunlun area. The legend says that when the blood moon appears in Kunlun, it is the time when the heavenly demons descend to earth. It refers to the forbidden land of Kunlun - the Gate of Hell.

Legend has it that as long as one passes through the gates of hell, one can achieve the immortality of a celestial demon.

Under normal circumstances, entering the Gates of Hell guarantees death. Only when the Blood Moon of Kunlun appears does the Gates of Hell open wide, and only then can one enter and achieve the supreme status of the demonic path.

"Kunlun Blood Moon? Gates of Hell?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi frowned, not expecting that Xuan Nu would give him such an answer.

... .. ...

The Gates of Hell are a forbidden area in the Kunlun Mountains. It can be said that any creature that enters, whether human or any other living being, is doomed to die!

For a moment, Donghuang Taiyi was filled with doubt. Could it be that he was being tricked?

Not to mention Donghuang Taiyi, even the experts present were no exception. What Xuan Nu said was too fantastical, even mentioning the immortal body of the Heavenly Demon.

"I only saw it in ancient books, and as for whether it's true or not, I don't know!"

"Thank you for your explanation, Lady Xuan Nu."

Even if Donghuang Taiyi had doubts, he couldn't do anything about Xuan Nu.

As for those experts? They were also confused by what they heard.

"The third question concerns the lineage of the Great Zhou royal family, so I hope Your Excellency Xuan Nu can transmit your voice in secret."

"Say!"

Everyone instinctively felt a sudden silence in the air, realizing that this was Donghuang Taiyi's secret method of transmitting sound.

At this moment, the Mystic Maiden also slightly parted her lips and said in an 'invisible' voice:

"The sacred object of the Great Zhou royal family—the Dragon Vein? What is that?"

Seeing that the goddess Xuan Nu's expression seemed genuine, Donghuang Taiyi immediately realized that Xuan Nu truly did not know.

He also saw the Dragon Vein in the secret scrolls of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was a treasure formed from dragon energy. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell in love with the Queen Mother of the West and lent the Dragon Vein of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Queen Mother of the West.

But what exactly is this Great Zhou Dragon Vein? There is no detailed record of it.

Just as the Great Jin Dragon Vein is an imperial mausoleum, and has nurtured eight dragon pearls over hundreds of years, without the dragon pearls, the Great Jin Empire has already entered a period of decline and is not far from national collapse and destruction.

The Great Zhou Empire also experienced the disappearance of its dragon vein, which led to its decline and eventual collapse after a thousand years.

The subsequent millennium-long reign was already quite long, but the Great Zhou's fortune was always incomplete, so no new hegemon could emerge to restore it!

The Great Zhou Dragon Vein remained silent throughout.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

"Go away!"

Besides challenging the Zhang family's authority, Xingyin had finally encountered a Grandmaster, so how could she miss the opportunity?

With a leap, he blocked Donghuang Taiyi's path, simultaneously unleashing a powerful Vajra Palm strike that, while seemingly ordinary, contained the force to move mountains and rivers.

Chapter 450 The Tathagata Palm? A New Conspiracy Unfolds

Snapped!

As their palms clashed, the combined energy of the two grandmasters surged, causing the space within a ten-zhang radius to tremble and resound with a deafening boom.

What appears to be an ordinary Vajra Palm, combined with the indestructible Vajra Divine Power, is like the Tathagata's palm, which dominates the world. In an instant, the ground within a five-zhang radius drops by a foot, shattering rocks and surging energy.

Donghuang Taiyi's seemingly casual palm strike was actually a perfect blend of strength and gentleness, possessing the boundless power of Yin and Yang and the ability to shift stars and constellations.

Clearly, Donghuang Taiyi's strength surpasses that of Xingyin.

"The indestructible Vajra Technique of Buddhism? Master, what incredible supernatural powers you possess!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Donghuang Taiyi fled far away and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

With just one palm strike, Donghuang Taiyi understood that he could not defeat Xingyin in a short time. The Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill was the most top-level defensive technique in the world.

Moreover, he had no need to offend the Zhang family for this.

Zhang Xiaoshan's displayed strength this time shows that Donghuang Taiyi would never want to provoke him until the very end.

With three ubiquitous bronze-armored warriors, a monstrous ten-zhang-long evil dragon, and now more than one or two Grandmasters, the Zhang family's strength is unimaginable.

Besides, the information we just received is enough, even if we didn't find the so-called treasure.

After all, there was no treasure inside, and Zhang Xiaoshan even sacrificed a dragon ball to seal the bronze coffin.

"What a magnificent Donghuang Taiyi!"

Although Donghuang Taiyi did not reveal his identity, Zhang Xiaoshan discussed the world's top masters on Peach Blossom Island, and Donghuang Taiyi was among them.

There are doubts about Donghuang Taiyi's identity, but nothing has been confirmed.

But now, it's basically certain.

As for Donghuang Taiyi's martial arts, they should be close to Zhang Xiaoshan's when he doesn't use his trump cards. His palm strike just now was indeed profound, but it still doesn't reach the level of the Heavenly Blade.

The next morning, the team, having rested, continued their journey.

They didn't care much about Donghuang Taiyi's arrival, mainly because they already had two Grandmasters by their side, so they didn't mind having another Grandmaster.

Moreover, Lei Laowu, whom even Donghuang Taiyi praised, was clearly not as simple as everyone imagined.

Otherwise, how could a tomb raider, who is hated by everyone, have survived until now?

However, when the people who came to collect the body saw the three-zhang palm print on the ground, they all showed expressions of horror.

A large palm print, five zhang in diameter and one foot deep, was created in one go.

Such a unique skill immediately reminded everyone of the legendary Tathagata Palm.

Considering the Zhang family's history, this is not impossible.

Even if it was just speculation, the news that the Zhang family had acquired the Tathagata Palm technique spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world as it was spread by a few minor figures.

However, some top experts came to see it, and in the end they all shook their heads and smiled, offering no explanation.

Whether it's the Tathagata Palm or not is no longer important.

Importantly, the Zhang family has gained another Grandmaster among their experts.

Those top masters who have truly survived the Tathagata Palm technique can naturally tell that this is not the Tathagata Palm, but a clash between grandmasters.

But they wouldn't defend the Zhang family; they'd love for the Zhang family to become the target of public criticism.

After all, the Zhang family is too large.

Ghost Street, the Flying Guillotine, the Twelve Zodiac Assassins... each one of them could dominate the martial arts world.

Moreover, this is merely a subordinate force of the Zhang family!

If the covetousness attracted by the Tathagata Palm technique could weaken some of the Zhang family's power, that would be good. Moreover, even a Grandmaster has made a move on these gold pieces, and there are even Grandmasters guarding them, so there must be something else they don't know.

As a result, the story became increasingly mysterious, and the entire martial arts world was filled with curiosity about this treasure.

"Master Fairy, such a large palm print, could it be the legendary Tathagata Palm?"

"Of course not. This is the Vajra Palm of Buddhism. Its palm force is so fierce that it can crush even the dust and stubborn rocks below. Its palm force is indestructible and unparalleled in its ferocity."

The one capable of unleashing such palm force must be a grandmaster-level expert. The Zhang family must have been escorting more than just gold this time.

If it were just gold, there would be no need for a Grandmaster to intervene!

Great master!

Upon hearing Shi Feixuan's observation, both Shuanglong and Song Yuzhi couldn't help but gasp.

Unexpectedly, compared to the Tathagata Palm, this also involves a terrifying Grandmaster-level existence.

"That big monk?"

"That is Master Xingyin of Qingliang Temple, and it is rumored that his figure has suddenly increased by more than four feet compared to before."

Meanwhile, the Zhang family's Zen Master Juexin, the Mad Lion Iron Warrior, and the vicious Duan Yanqing all increased in height by one to two feet. If I'm not mistaken, Master Xingyin, relying on the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, broke through to the Grandmaster realm!

"Breaking through a cultivation level can cause a sudden increase in height? Is there really such a divine skill?"

"Martial Arts Zen Sect, Wedding Dress Divine Skill!"

All masters who cultivate this unique skill are people of great perseverance. They either succeed or die trying, and they need to endure torment that ordinary people cannot bear.

The sudden increase in size is just one of the signs of mastering divine skills.

Shi Feixuan frowned. This was the first Grandmaster to appear in the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, no, the second.

Once the news spreads throughout the martial arts world, the resulting shock is unimaginable.

What's most terrifying about the Zhang family is that, in addition to a group of highly skilled cultivators, they also have people who have received their skills.

Two peerless masters were killed in one fell swoop!

"Didn't four members of the Zhang family achieve success in their cultivation?"

"These four were all carefully selected by Young Master Zhang: Duan Yanqing, the deposed crown prince who has experienced great ups and downs, the head of the Arhat Hall, and two martial arts fanatics."

As for the others who practiced this divine skill, apart from Master Yan, who was the first to discover its secret, no one in the martial arts world has mastered it to the highest level. They have all failed at the very last step, ultimately benefiting others!

"To do someone else's work for their benefit? That would be like passing on your skills to someone else, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Upon hearing this, the two dragons exchanged bewildered glances.

He immediately realized how terrifying this martial art was; it truly was a matter of life or death.

"We should still spread this message now to prevent some people from believing the rumors of the 'Buddha's Palm' and causing the Zhang family to commit massacres in the martial arts world."

After all, the gold was merely a disguise for a treasure that could be escorted by a grandmaster.

If the Zhang family gets angry, blood will flow for miles around!

Shi Feixuan was thinking of those rumors circulating in the martial arts world that were detrimental to the Zhang family.
