Martial Arts Crossover: The Sweeping Monk of Wudang? That's our patriarch!

Third Uncle, Taishu Qinghuan, is the most talented prodigy in the Taishu family.

Although he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't last more than ten moves against him.

Although his father, Taishu Qingming, and his second uncle, Taishu Qingren, had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, seemingly a level higher than him, they were simply older and had accumulated more experience.

In terms of fighting ability at the same age, the two are far inferior.

If Taishu Qinghuan hadn't been so devoted to the Dao and had no interest in the position of family head, the struggle for succession wouldn't have been so fierce among the brothers.

More importantly, Taishu Qingming and Taishu Qingren have been stuck in the late Nascent Soul stage for many years, with little hope of reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

However, Taishu Qinghuan was unanimously regarded by the clan elders as someone who would surely reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

"Father," Taishu Feng said in a deep voice, "Since my Taishu family lacks the fighting power, we can only win by sheer numbers."

"Just send more late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators; such manpower is not scarce."

"Son, go and gather the men."

After saying this, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Taishu Qingming's shout.

"What's the rush?"

"Just because my great-uncle's family doesn't have it doesn't mean there's no one else available."

"Have you forgotten your uncle's house?"

"Your fourth uncle's youngest son, Wuma Hongfei, is a Foundation Establishment expert."

"Cousin Hongfei? He's a supreme expert? I had no idea about this!" Taishu Feng exclaimed in shock.

"The Wuma family deliberately blocked the news, so outsiders naturally didn't know," Taishu Qingming said calmly.

"Go to the Wuma family yourself, meet your fourth uncle, and ask him to send Wuma Hongfei to the Nine Provinces."

"Hongfei cultivates the Silver Moon Manual—a Heaven-level attack technique. As a Foundation Establishment expert, his strength far surpasses that of the old Daoist from the Nine Provinces."

"If that old Taoist priest is willing to surrender, we will spare his life; if he remains stubborn—kill him!"

"In return, I will support the Wuma family in taking control of the Qingyue Realm."

The Azure Moon Realm is a small world recently unearthed by the Cangxuan Dynasty. Currently, various forces are fighting tooth and nail for control, and the Wuma family has also gotten involved.

Unfortunately, the Taishu family seized control of the Nine Provinces in the last round, and according to the rules, they cannot try to seize it again this time; they must outwardly retreat to the background. However, the Taishu family is deeply entrenched and wields immense influence in the court. If they secretly support the Wuma family, the ownership of the Azure Moon Realm will essentially be decided.

Taishu Qingming was very certain—the Wuma family would never refuse this deal.

It's just a trip to the Nine Provinces Realm to kill an old Taoist priest in the late Foundation Establishment stage. For a master like Wu Ma Hongfei, it's just taking care of a small fry.

"Okay, Father, I'll go to my uncle's house now."

Taishu Feng responded and turned to leave quickly.

……

Meanwhile, in the Kyushu region.

At the summit of Yuzhu Peak, the smoke of battle has dissipated.

In the short time that Taishu and his son were communicating in secret, the group of people sent by Taishu Feng had been slaughtered by Lin Daochen and his group.

"Senior brother, something's off about the people from the Cangxuan Dynasty this time." As the battlefield was being cleared, Zhang Sanfeng quietly approached Lin Daochen and lowered his voice. "Logically speaking, after suffering a loss yesterday, they should have sent a stronger force to counterattack today. But while there are more people today, their combat strength... seems even weaker than yesterday."

Lin Daochen nodded slightly.

He had noticed something was wrong long ago.

When I killed those Foundation Establishment cultivators, I always felt a strange tremor in my heart, as if there were a pair of eyes watching me from the shadows.

These people are most likely not here to fight to the death, but rather to be pawns sent up to test the waters.

He already had a hunch: it was not surprising that the Taishu family, as a top-tier aristocratic family possessing Nascent Soul level experts, would master the art of cross-dimensional surveillance.

"No need to worry, I have a plan," Lin Daochen replied calmly.

The most urgent task right now is to find a way to seal off the teleportation array of the Reception Hall as soon as possible, cutting off the channel through which the other side is continuously sending people.

Seeing that he said this, Zhang Sanfeng shut up and asked no more questions.

With a pile of spoils, the group returned triumphantly to the headquarters of the Kyushu Alliance.

After taking inventory, Lin Daochen went straight into the weapon-refining room to continue his planned task for the day—refining defensive magic weapons.

He had repeatedly rehearsed the scenario last night and had already sketched out a rough outline in his mind.

boom!

A burst of Five Elements Heavenly Fire exploded from his palm and slammed into the refining furnace, flames shooting into the sky.

Various rare materials were continuously added, instantly melting into a liquid state, and slowly flowing and shaping under the impetus of the magic.

Lin Daochen's ten fingers flew, his hand seals flashing like lightning, and spiritual power flowed into them, guiding the operation of the entire treasure furnace.

About half an hour later, a nine-story pagoda, ancient in appearance and bluish in color, quietly floated above the heart of the furnace.

"It's done!"

A glint of light flashed in Lin Daochen's eyes, revealing his undisguised joy.

With a flick of his sleeve, the pagoda shrank instantly and fell into his palm.

"I'll call you—Nine Mysteries Tower."

This treasure can not only block swords, lightning, and fire, but also protect the sea of ​​consciousness and resist the invasion of the soul. From the very beginning of its design, Lin Daochen was determined to make it both literary and martial.

After playing with it for a while, he sank the Nine Profound Pagoda into the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming it into an indestructible barrier.

After finishing the weapon forging, Lin Daochen left the weapon forging room, first went into the training room to regulate his breathing and recover his mana, and then stepped into the alchemy room.

Today's haul was plentiful, with plenty of medicinal herbs. It's the perfect opportunity to refine more Foundation Building Pills.

After half an incense stick's time, eighteen pills were formed.

With the one he still had, he now had a total of nineteen Foundation Establishment Pills in his possession.

This means that the Nine Provinces Alliance will gain another nineteen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Currently, besides Lin Daochen himself, the alliance has eight mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators and nineteen early-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Compared to its miserable state when it was first established, it's an incredible turnaround.

Not to mention he also has an advancement pill hidden away, which can directly push a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator to the mid stage.

The moment the news was released, someone came knocking on the door the very next day.

Mo Shenggu was the first to meet the target, and Lin Daochen handed over a Foundation Establishment Pill and the only Advancement Pill without hesitation.

Following closely behind, others met the conditions and took away their own opportunities.

Within a few days, the newly recruited disciples broke through and entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

At the same time, Lin Daochen no longer resided in the Alliance Leader's Mansion on Jade Void Peak, but instead frequently appeared in the Reception Hall on Jade Pearl Peak.

He wanted to break the teleportation array of the Reception Hall.

the other side.

The Spirit Realm, the Cangxuan Dynasty.

Inside Taishu Feng's courtyard, a group of people stood solemnly before him—the very team he was about to send to the Nine Provinces Realm.

The young man at the head of the group was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with handsome features and an extraordinary demeanor.

"Cousin Hongfei, I'm entrusting the affairs of the Nine Provinces Realm to you."

Tai Shufeng spoke in a deep voice, "Take that old Taoist priest in if you can, but if he refuses to submit, then—kill him."

This young man was none other than Wuma Hongfei, a top Foundation Establishment stage expert from the Wuma family and also Taishu Feng's cousin.

Although his current cultivation level is still below that of Taishu Feng, Taishu Feng knows very well that this boy has extraordinary talent. As long as he doesn't perish along the way, his future achievements will far surpass his own.

Therefore, he spoke politely, not daring to be presumptuous in the slightest.

"Brother Feng, you flatter me. We're family, why be so formal?" Wuma Hongfei smiled slightly, his demeanor humble. "Your affairs are my affairs. Rest assured, on this trip to the Nine Provinces, I will definitely secure that entrance to that realm for you."

He spoke respectfully, but his heart was already burning with fighting spirit.

Although the Wuma family's foundation is not as strong as that of the Taishu family, as a cultivator of the Silver Moon Manual, he possesses the Heavenly Extreme Attack Technique, and ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot even withstand three moves from him.

Moreover, Taishu Feng had previously revealed that an extremely powerful Foundation Establishment expert had emerged in the Nine Provinces Realm.

Just what he wanted.

He was more than happy that the man refused to submit—only then could he legitimately launch a fight.

A hint of anticipation, even a touch of excitement, quietly flickered in my heart.

Of course, he was also aware of his limits. His uncle's family was powerful and deeply entrenched, and they were not to be easily provoked. Furthermore, the other party was, after all, his elder brother, and he had to maintain proper decorum on the surface.

Upon hearing the response, Taishu Feng's gaze softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "With your words, I am completely at ease."

His tone abruptly changed; he whirled around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd behind him like a knife, his voice cold and sharp:

"On your journey across the Nine Provinces, you must all obey your cousin Hongfei! Anyone who disobeys—your entire family will be executed!"

Every word he uttered was filled with murderous intent, utterly genuine.

If someone does something wrong, he will truly slaughter their entire clan.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators were startled and quickly bowed in agreement, declaring in unison that they had no ulterior motives.

Immediately afterwards, Taishu Feng personally accompanied Wuma Hongfei, leading the group of cultivators out of the courtyard and heading straight for the teleportation hall of the Cangxuan Dynasty.

—A storm is brewing.

And this moment.

At the border of Kyushu, atop Jade Pearl Peak.

Inside the Reception Hall, Lin Daochen walked slowly, his eyes sharp as he carefully scanned every inch of the rune trail.

Over the past few days, he has repeatedly tested the inscriptions and finally confirmed that the runes in the palace are indestructible and cannot be destroyed from the inside.

But this did not stop him.

On the contrary, a completely new approach has already taken shape—

Since we can't destroy the formation, let's cut off the signal.

His deduction was crystal clear: the Cangxuan Dynasty of the Spirit Realm had accurately determined the spatial coordinates of the Reception Hall, remotely activated the array, thereby awakening the runes and opening the teleportation portal.

In that case, even if the original array is preserved, as long as an isolation-type rune array is set up on the outside to completely cut off the activation signal from the spirit realm, the teleportation can still be paralyzed.

This is the best way to eliminate the root cause of the problem.

After observing intently for a while and confirming that his approach was correct, Lin Daochen finally stopped.

"The next step is to study rune arrays that can shield spatial perception."

From then on, in addition to seizing sovereignty over the Nine Provinces World, another important task was added to his list of plans: to construct an isolation array.

Having made up his mind, just as he was about to set off back to the Nine Provinces Alliance headquarters on Jade Void Peak, suddenly—

The entire Reception Hall suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

All the runes in the hall lit up simultaneously, flowing endlessly, as if awakened by some distant force.

Teleportation is about to begin.

Runes shot out like streaks of light, intertwining and swirling in the sky above the plaza outside the Hall of Reception, quickly outlining the silhouette of a massive and magnificent gate of light.

As spiritual energy was continuously poured in, the light gate transformed from an illusion into reality, gradually solidifying and emitting a spatial fluctuation that sent shivers down one's spine.

Lin Daochen was already used to this scene and was not surprised.

People from the Cangxuan Dynasty are coming again.

His eyes were calm, but he did not immediately send a message to summon Zhang Sanfeng and others at the headquarters of the Nine Provinces Alliance.

Firstly, those people will soon notice the unusual activity; secondly, Jade Pearl Peak has already been sealed off by the restrictive array he set up, making it difficult for outsiders to escape even if they had wings.

He simply stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the ever-stabilizing light gate in the center of the square, his expression indifferent, as if waiting for a predetermined killing.

What kind of lineup did the Cangxuan Dynasty send this time?

After several failures, shouldn't the Taishu family finally have something of real substance to offer?

A moment later, the portal solidified with a bang, and amidst the spatial tremors, a group of people stepped out.

The young man at the head of the group wore a dark-patterned robe, his brows were sharp, and his aura was as deep as the abyss—he was none other than Wuma Hongfei, a Foundation Establishment expert.

He wasn't surprised to see Lin Daochen as soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array. Tai Shufeng had warned him beforehand: cultivators in the Nine Provinces Realm could monitor teleportation nodes.

Therefore, he activated his protective aura before passing through the portal, ready to fight at any time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Daochen did not make a move.

Wu Ma Hongfei's gaze narrowed slightly, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, but he suppressed the urge to attack.
