A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

The Taoist sect has many methods, but the method of summoning heavenly lightning is the most domineering of them all.

Lightning flashed and swirled within the clouds, changing from white to purple.

It was purple lightning again.

With the combined power of these five Daoist masters at the Finger Profound Realm, its strength was so great that even terrestrial immortals would feel the danger.

No wonder Master Qilin could threaten Ye Yun.

"Ye Yun, since you are so stubborn, let's try this Heavenly Thunder Formation today."

Qilin Zhenren roared angrily, for he had no way to retreat.

Rolling thunderbolts suddenly slammed down, striking Ye Yun, who was caught in the formation and offered no resistance.

boom!

The purple lightning struck Ye Yun hard, and his clothes were visibly destroyed by the lightning.

When Qilin Zhenren and the other four Daoist Zhenren of the Daoist Sect thought that Ye Yun was either alive or severely injured, they believed that Ye Yun was their Daoist Sect's trump card.

Even if Li Dangxin were to come and withstand this heavenly lightning, it would shatter his indestructible physique.

Several bolts of purple lightning enveloped Ye Yun, but to everyone's astonishment, they discovered that the figure had flown directly into the sky.

Ye Yun let the purple lightning strike him as if he were enjoying it.

The disciples of the Daode Sect all showed expressions of fear.

"What's going on? He doesn't seem to be afraid of lightning."

"Impossible! Is he Thor? That's a heavenly thunder array summoned jointly by the sect leader and several elders."

Many disciples of the Daode School did not believe it.

Master Qilin's hands trembled as he formed hand seals: "Is this body tempering using purple lightning?"

"Master Qilin, haven't you all eaten? Why don't you come at us more fiercely?"

After his last battle with Wang Xianzhi, which further improved his martial arts physique, Ye Yun wanted to strengthen his physical body once again.

It requires stronger external assistance, or some rare and precious natural treasures that can enhance physical strength, in order to make one's physical body stronger.

Although Zi Lei was strong at this moment, it was not enough to further strengthen his physical body.

Qilin Zhenren was furious!

The group below formed a formation, their hands constantly shifting, gathering all their power, determined to destroy Ye Yun.

"Boring!"

Ye Yun sighed.

With the cultivation level of this group, they probably wouldn't be able to truly unleash the power of this Heavenly Thunder Formation.

A small purple sword flew out from within her body, swimming among the purple lightning. The originally powerful and heaven-destroying purple lightning was gradually dissipated.

To be precise, the thunderous power within was absorbed by Ye Yun's natal flying sword, Zixiao.

"How is that possible!"

"Qilin Zhenren said in horror."

A purple rainbow descended from the sky, piercing the heavens.

call out!

puff puff!

Four voices rang out, and the four Daoist masters of the Moral Sect each had a bloodstain between their brows.

Four Daoist masters at the Finger Profound Realm were instantly killed by a single sword strike.

The purple sword flew back into Ye Yun's body. At this moment, Ye Yun was like an unparalleled demon lord, hanging high in the sky.

Four True Persons of the Moral Sect were killed, and the Heavenly Thunder Formation collapsed on its own, leaving only the terrified True Person Qilin behind.

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

Ye Yun reached out with one hand, as if an invisible hand was grabbing Qilin Zhenren tightly: "Do you have any last words?"

"Ye Yun, if you destroy the Morality Sect, the Empress will not let you off the hook. This is the culmination of my efforts, and she will not let you go either."

"Yeah?"

Ye Yun grabbed with his right hand and crushed Qilin Zhenren instantly.

A huge, lifelike phantom of a Qilin appeared above Ye Yun.

A somewhat disheveled old Taoist priest sat atop the Qilin statue: "Sever my clone; you must be Ye Yun now."

Ye Yun knew that the old man in front of him was the real Qilin Master Yuan Qingshan: "You've finally decided to show yourself."

"Oh, why do you want to see me? You're the one who changed the sky over Liyang."

Yuan Qingshan's most favored person was Zhao Zhu.

However, because of Ye Yun's appearance, Zhao Kai became the Emperor of Li Yang, leaving Zhao Zhu with no chance to turn the tables.

Ye Yun laughed and said, "The victor is king, the loser is villain. I want to see you because I want to do a business deal with you."

"Tell me about it," Yuan Qingshan said, also wanting to know what Ye Yun was plotting.

"None of the Northern Mang, Northern Liang, and Li Yang have the conditions to unify the world. The right time is not with these three, and I already have someone to help me cultivate the right place. On the contrary, I need the help of the people now, and you are good at this art of human relations."

I want this man and his art to unify the world, in exchange for your safe ascension.

Of course you can choose to refuse. I promised my teacher that no one can descend from the Heavenly Gate.

And my sword can also prevent anyone in the mortal realm from ascending to immortality.

Ye Yun said calmly.

He told Yuan Qingshan his purpose, but there was really nothing to it.

After all, even a wise man like him would eventually see through Ye Yun's intentions.

"Ye Yun, what a grand scheme you have! I admire you quite a bit. You are truly sincere. If I didn't pass it on to you, I fear I would have no hope of ascending to immortality."

Yuan Qingshan stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

On the contrary, he greatly admired Ye Yun.

What was his purpose in helping the Northern Barbarians? Wasn't it to eventually transform into a rainbow and ascend to immortality?

Calculating heaven, earth, and people—it's all for this one purpose.

"You can give it a try!"

Ye Yun's threat was made without any hesitation.

The Heavenly Gate is right there.

To ascend to heaven, one must pass through the Heavenly Gate.

There are many ways to open the Heavenly Gate: by force, with the help of others, through special relationships, or by ascending together.

Regardless of the method used, it is necessary to pass through the Heavenly Gate.

If Ye Yun doesn't want anyone to ascend, he can simply block them at the Heavenly Gate.

If you want to pass through the Heavenly Gate, then defeat him or kill him.

Yuan Qingshan, however, was not angry. Instead, he asked, "It seems that you and Huang Longshi are from the same sect. As expected, none of the disciples of the Zhang family sage are simple."

Celestial beings in the heavens, mortals on earth—I wonder what you think, Ye Yun.

"Martial prowess should flourish in the world."

Ye Yun, however, agreed with Wang Xianzhi's approach.

Why sever the flow of life in the human world?

"Hahaha, what a magnificent ambition! But can we kill all these celestial beings?"

As someone who was about to ascend to heaven, Yuan Qingshan naturally knew some things about heaven.

"Therefore, if we unify the world and gather all the martial fortune of the world, why can't we slaughter all the celestial immortals?"

Ye Yun replied domineeringly.

Yuan Qingshan seemed to understand what Ye Yun wanted to do, and sighed:

"The price will be high. If we fail, there will be no more golden age of martial arts in the world."

"True Master Qilin, is ascension the ultimate goal? Are there heavens beyond heavens? Are there even stronger gods above immortals?"

Ye Yun's words seemed to provoke Yuan Qingshan.

This is the ultimate question.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

It seems this matter has no end.

"Alright, I'll take this bet with you. If you ascend to the Immortal Realm one day, you'll owe me a great fortune."

Yuan Qingshan was a shrewd man; he could see that Ye Yun was extraordinary, unlike anyone else he had ever met.

The enormous Qilin image shattered with a crash, transforming into a wisp of green silk that flew towards Ye Yun.

"This is the essence of Taoism that the old Taoist master has come to understand."

Yuan Qingshan's illusory figure and the Qilin Dharma Image disappeared together.

Ye Yun muttered to himself:

"Is this the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?"
