I flew on a sword at the magic academy

"You, you guys..." Wu Lingxiao's expression was solemn. He already found it very troublesome to deal with Leopard Head and his gang of small bandits. Now, with Jiang Yue added to the mix, he knew he had no chance of confronting them head-on.

"Qianhe, Lord Nangong recently stepped in to resolve your feud with our Wuyang Mountain. Do you still intend to stir up trouble?"

Nangong Ren scoffed and said, "If the ancestor were to pass away one day, would you still say that your grudges with her have been resolved?"

Sikong Qing then added, "This matter has nothing to do with my little sister. The feud between you Wuyang Mountain and her has been resolved, but the feud between her and us brothers has not yet been settled."

"Why waste words with him? Let's hang this kid up and give him a good beating!" Liu Mang rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

Leopard Head stopped him, saying, "None of you should make a move; let me handle this."

"I heard that he also practices the 'Wuyang Tiangang Technique' of Wuyang Mountain. It's good to test the waters first, so that if he faces the Holy Son of Wuyang in the future, he can know his background." Nangong Ren nodded.

"Brother Lingxiao, you saw it too. They were the ones who wanted to attack you. I was just a bystander passing by." Jiang Yue said with a smile, twirling her hair around her hand, standing aside and watching the show as if it were none of her business.

Wu Lingxiao was shocked and furious. He was one of the top experts among the younger generation of Wuyang Mountain, but since he came down the mountain, he had been repeatedly looked down upon. This huge difference between being admired and being looked down upon and despised was unacceptable to him.

"kill!"

With a roar, he activated the "Martial Yang Heavenly Gang Technique," and his body was instantly enveloped in a blinding holy light, as if a layer of raging, inextinguishable divine fire had been attached to his body, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

"Come and fight!" Leopard Head shouted as well, his thick long hair dancing wildly in the gale, and cold light flashing in his eyes, causing the surrounding space to be terrifyingly distorted.

Wu Lingxiao flicked his wrist and produced a silver bracelet, which exploded in size in the wind, rapidly growing to the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye, and smashed it toward the leopard's head.

Leopard Head remained unfazed and directly extended a large handprint to clash head-on with the silver bracelet.

"Snap!"

This precious artifact was cracked by the force of the blow; it's hard to imagine how much power the leopard-headed man had used.

"The Five Sacred Mountains support the sky!" Wu Lingxiao roared to the sky, revealing his innate extraordinary phenomenon.

Five majestic and towering sacred mountains cut across the sky, namely [Tai, Hua, Heng, Heng, and Song].

"The Great Emperor Zhaosheng, the Supreme Celestial Emperor!"

"The Great Emperor of Zhongtian Chongsheng!"

"The Great Emperor An Tian Xuan Sheng!"

"The Great Emperor Jin Tianyuan!"

"Tianqi... Benevolent Sage... Great Emperor—!"

Blood spilled from Wu Lingxiao's mouth as he roared out the titles of one deity after another, almost at the top of his lungs.

"This disciple respectfully bows to the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, and humbly requests that you all swiftly display your divine power!"

Divine light filled the sky, covering everything, and the five sacred mountains in the heavens were all coated with a layer of holy radiance, their holy light dazzling.

"Can innate phenomena resonate with celestial deities?" Jiang Yue asked in surprise, her heart filled with turmoil.

She could also use the True Meaning of Yue Fei to transform the Great Seal of Mountains and Rivers, conjuring the Five Sacred Mountains [Tai, Hua, Heng, Song, Heng], but she never thought of borrowing divine power from the Five Sacred Mountain Emperors. This scene not only shocked her, but also gave her some inspiration.

Although one is an innate anomaly and the other evolved through other means, they are both part of the Five Sacred Mountains, and can more or less evoke the feelings of the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, who will then unleash their divine power.

The next time you use the Mountain and River Seal, you can try paying homage to the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors and see if it has any effect.

A dazzling light engulfed everything in the world. Leopard Head was pressed down by the Five Sacred Mountains and could not straighten his body. The flesh on his back burst open and was covered in blood.

"Clang!"

He now wielded a long, crimson-gold sword, wielding it with sweeping, powerful strokes across the Five Sacred Mountains, cutting down everything in its path, and even managing to slice off half of one of the great mountains.

"What formidable combat power!" Jiang Yue exclaimed in shock.

"His main combat technique is called 'Ping Shan He'. Although it can't compare to the ultimate techniques of sages, it's not bad either. He hasn't even used his full strength yet," Sikong Qing explained.

Liu Mang said, "Leopard Head is the strongest among us brothers. It is said that he has mastered the 'Ping Shan He' technique to a very high level."

"Amazing...amazing!" Jiang Yue nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"boom!"

Another sacred mountain was shattered and crushed. Wu Lingxiao was completely shocked. In his strange form, Leopard Head's strength was suppressed, but he was still able to occupy the top spot, which made him feel powerless.

One leopard-headed bandit was already almost overpowering him, not to mention the other four small bandits and the Prince of Xiang, who had been granted a title by the Great Xia Dynasty, who were also eyeing him covetously.

He didn't lose his mind; he turned and ran away immediately. At this point, nothing was more important than his life, no matter how much face or dignity one had.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of these petty bandits.

"The land is shattered!"

With a long howl, Leopard Head instantly shattered and collapsed into nothingness, along with several surrounding mountains.

The clouds in all directions vanished, space collapsed, and Leopard Head's aura became exceptionally powerful. In a flash, he arrived in front of Wu Lingxiao and raised his hand to press down on his head.

"Ah—!" Wu Lingxiao was shocked and unleashed all the spiritual weapons and magical artifacts on his body, but they shattered as soon as they touched the leopard's head's large hand, as if they were ceramic glass, and were extremely vulnerable.

"Bang!"

Leopard Head slapped him away, then pressed forward again, unleashing a barrage of punches and palm strikes. Although he couldn't break through the defensive holy light of the "Martial Yang Heavenly Gang Technique," the terrifying power still shook mountains and rivers, causing him to cough up blood and suffer considerable internal injuries.

With a loud "bang," Leopard Head kicked Wu Lingxiao hard, sending him crashing to his death and creating a large crater in the snow.

"Big Brother's skills are truly exceptional! It seems you're close to mastering 'Ping Shan He'!" Sikong Qinglang laughed loudly.

"It's only at a proficient level; it's still far from mastery."

Leopard Head landed on the ground, staring at Wu Lingxiao, who was unable to move in the deep pit, and said, "Wu Yang Mountain's 'Wu Yang Tian Gang Technique' is indeed unparalleled in defense, impervious to all magic. Even when I attacked without holding back, I was unable to break through it."

Liu Mang peered down into the abyss at Wu Lingxiao and asked, "What should we do with this guy? Should we just kill him?"

"We can't kill him. Wu Yangshan values ​​him highly and will definitely leave a mark on him. Once he dies, Wu Yangshan will know immediately that we killed him, which goes against our plan. Let's suppress him first. Even if the plan fails, we can still use him as a hostage to blackmail Wu Yangshan," Nangong Ren suggested.

The others had no objections and all turned their gazes to Jiang Yue.

Because the bronze stove in her hand was suitable for suppressing people.

Jiang Yue didn't say much. She summoned the purple copper furnace and took Wu Lingxiao inside. Then she placed more than thirty restrictions and seals on it.

"So, are we going to retreat now, or wait and see if we can find the Holy Maiden of the Azure Jade Holy Land?" Liu Mang asked, looking at the group.

"Let's squat down a little longer. If we can suppress it, it will be like eliminating a major enemy in the future," said Leopard Head.

And so, they endured the ice and snow for four days, waiting near the Flying Snow Sect, until they finally spotted the figure of the Jade Saintess.

Sikong Qing volunteered to go forward, while the others secretly blocked off all four sides.

The Jade Saintess was only about twenty years old. She stood in the snow and ice, her white Taoist robe with gold patterns fluttering in the wind.

She was tall and slender, with a delicate waist that could be encircled by one hand. Her hair danced lightly in the wind, and her face was stunningly beautiful yet hazy and indistinct, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

She stood in the wind and snow, calmly looking at Sikong Qing.

"Saintess Qingyu, what a coincidence! I never expected to meet you here." Sikong Qing politely cupped his hands in greeting.

The Jade Saintess returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "It seems you've been waiting for me here all this time."

Sikong Qing scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, we've known each other for so long, yet we haven't asked the Holy Maiden's name. May I ask how to address her?"

"Chu Xuan." The Jade Saintess's voice was calm as she casually glanced around and said, "Summon all your hidden friends."

"Fellow Daoist Chu Xuan, you misunderstand. We mean no harm. We simply wish to invite you to come with us. Would you be willing to admire the moon?"

Hearing Sikong Qing say this, Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Is this how you invite people?"

"Ugh, why waste time talking to her!"

Liu Mang flipped over and jumped out, pointing at Chu Xuan and saying, "Let me tell you the truth, we brothers are here specifically waiting for you. Either you come with us, or we'll suppress you and take you back. The choice is yours!"

"It seems you came prepared, intending to kidnap me and use me to blackmail the Azure Jade Holy Land?"

Chu Xuan's voice was magnetic and very pleasant to listen to, like heavenly music.

"Sikong Qing and Liu Mang probably can't take her down either, let's go together." Jiang Yue and Leopard Head and the others stepped out of the void.

"I have long admired the name of the Holy Maiden Qingyu, and seeing her today, I can confirm that she lives up to her reputation. At such a young age, her state of mind has already reached the state of perfect harmony between heaven and man, which is truly beyond my reach." Jiang Yue cupped her hands in greeting.

"Your Highness, Prince Xiang? We don't seem to have any grudges between us, do we?" Chu Xuan frowned slightly, not expecting Jiang Yue to be here as well.

"You've misunderstood, fairy. I've only come here to ask you for something," Jiang Yue said with a smile.

Chu Xuan asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Yue said, "I wish to see the sacred scriptures of the Azure Jade Holy Land; just one volume will suffice."

"Do you think it's possible?" Chu Xuan asked back.

Throughout, she remained in a mysterious state of Dao, in harmony with the universe, as if she could trace the path of the Great Dao with a mere wave of her hand.

This is not a state that is deliberately maintained; it is as natural as breathing.

"I also think it's unlikely, so I have no intention of taking action for the time being. Please do as you see fit, Fairy." Jiang Yue made a "please" gesture and then stepped back a short distance.

"No, Sister Jiang, are you really not going to make a move? This Jade Saintess is not easy to deal with. The four of us alone probably won't be able to handle it." Liu Mang secretly transmitted his thoughts through divine sense.

"I'll watch from the sidelines for now. If you really can't take it down, then I'll step in," Jiang Yue replied.

Seeing that Jiang Yue had no intention of making a move, Chu Xuan flicked her wrist and summoned a painting, which unfolded between heaven and earth. She herself merged into the landscape within the painting, and her aura became even more ethereal and otherworldly.

"This is... a replica of the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers'?! Your sect leader actually passed on such a priceless treasure to you?"

Sikong Qing's pupils constricted sharply, and he flew backward rapidly. At the same time, he raised his hand and summoned a replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel, using it as a shield in front of him. Then, he transmitted a warning to Leopard Head and the others: "This is a replica of the Supreme Sacred Weapon [Mountains and Rivers Map] from the Azure Jade Sacred Land. Its power is terrifying. Be careful, or you'll get absorbed into it!"

Within the painting, hundreds of mountains vie for supremacy, rivers flow mightily, and various celestial pets and auspicious beasts come to life.

What a beautiful landscape painting! What a magnificent place!

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, Chu Xuan was in harmony with the Great Dao, pure and immaculate. Even when surrounded by a few bandits, he showed no sign of panic. He remained calm and composed throughout, his mind as still as water, without a ripple.

"I'll lead the charge!"

Nangong Ren was usually the quietest of them all, but when it came to a fight, he was decisive and charged forward first. With a wave of his hands, a blue dragon appeared out of nowhere, its roar resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Chu Xuan flicked her hair, raised her jade hand lightly, and with a light touch of her slender fingers, the azure dragon that had rushed close was instantly disintegrated, turning into specks of light that scattered.

With a "whoosh," she raised her delicate hand, and a vast and unpredictable map of mountains and rivers spread across the sky, exuding a terrifying and unfathomable power.

Nangong Ren, who was closest to the painting, was lifted off the ground uncontrollably, bound by that unfathomable power, and was about to be drawn into the world of the painting.

"Buzz!"

The void trembled as Sikong Qing fully activated the replica of the Devouring Heaven Vessel, unleashing a vast expanse of dark light that forcibly pulled Nangong Ren back.

"Truly worthy of being a saintess, her methods are indeed remarkable!"

Sikong Qing was amazed. He pulled Nangong Ren and quickly flew backward, keeping a certain distance from Chu Xuan.

"The material of your Devouring Heaven Vessel is slightly better than mine. It seems I'm at a disadvantage."

Chu Xuan's voice was calm, but upon closer reflection, it seemed she was... playfully teasing?

"I'll go and have a go at her!"

Leopard Head strode forward, his aura rising sharply, his full head of black hair dancing wildly in the wind, each step causing the icy plain to tremble.

"boom!"

He threw a punch, and a large area of ​​the surrounding space twisted and collapsed.

"roar--!"

With another dragon's roar, a black dragon soared into the sky from behind him, twisting and turning as it rushed into the world depicted in the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

With its head held high, the dragon was ferocious and savage. Its massive body resembled an ancient city wall, and its gleaming scales, shimmering with metallic luster, crushed one mountain after another as it roared and pounced on Chu Xuan.

However, Chu Xuan remained calm and composed in the face of such an attack. With a simple wave of his hand, he distorted the space and time of the world in the painting.

Such a seemingly simple and casual action directly outlines the trajectory of the Great Dao!
