Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 48 Overpowering the People from All Sides Who Came from Nanlong Marquis

The first to arrive at Pangu Sect were naturally the three major sects of Xi Kingdom. Huolong Tongzi and Cheng Guangkun personally offered their congratulations, and a Nascent Soul ancestor from Baiqiao Academy also came. Afterwards, Linghu Patriarch of Huangfeng Valley also arrived, representing the cultivation sects of Yue Kingdom.

Lei Ming and Han Li were discussing the Dao with several others, laughing and talking, when a golden light flashed in the distance. A group of warriors in golden armor escorted a magnificent golden chariot, which slowly flew towards them. The chariot made no attempt to conceal its aura. When it approached the Pangu Sect, the sect's disciples stepped forward to stop it. Surprisingly, the chariot did not stop, and several Pangu Sect disciples were knocked to the ground.

Lei Ming suddenly stood up, his expression displeased.

"It's Marquis Nanlong! What brings this old monster here?" Cheng Guangkun exclaimed. "Fellow Daoist Lei, this man is a cultivator from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. He possesses great supernatural powers, but his temper is eccentric and he's not to be trifled with!"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Dragon Boy snorted twice and remained silent, clearly showing his fear of the Marquis of Nanlong.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Cheng. I have heard some things about the Marquis of Nanlong. However, it's one thing for him to act recklessly in the Nine Kingdoms, but he's not qualified to come and trample on my Pangu Sect today. Fellow Daoists, please have a seat, I'll go out and meet him!"

A flash of golden light appeared, and Lei Ming was already more than ten miles away, stopping Nanlong Hou's beast-drawn carriage in the next moment. Huolong Tongzi and the others couldn't help but admire him.

"Fellow Daoist Lei is not only skilled in the Five Elements magic, but I didn't expect him to be so proficient in the art of flight. Even with my full power while flying on my sword, this is about the speed I can reach." Fire Dragon Boy shook his head repeatedly.

Han Li chuckled inwardly, knowing full well that Lei Ming hadn't even used half his speed.

"This is the gate of my Pangu Sect, fellow Daoist, you may stop here." Lei Ming stopped Nanlong Hou's beast-drawn carriage, his voice reaching the other's ears. Nanlong Hou was lying in the carriage, playing with his concubines. Seeing Lei Ming appear, he sat up slightly. However, the carriage did not stop and continued to fly forward.

Lei Ming was somewhat annoyed. The Marquis of Nanlong's actions showed that he was not taken seriously at all. However, he was not afraid of the other party. With the Xuanhuang Flying Sword in hand, he swung it down, and a huge sword aura fell from the sky.

Marquis Nanlong's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Lei Ming to act so suddenly. The five-colored pearl above the chariot emitted a brilliant light, forming a protective shield. The warriors and concubines hid beneath the shield for protection. At the same time, the demonic beast pulling the chariot spewed a mouthful of flames at Lei Ming, engulfing him completely.

Lei Ming's expression remained unchanged. Under the Xuanhuang Flying Sword, the five-colored pearl shattered instantly, and the magnificent beast-drawn carriage was split in two. At the same time, the demonic beast that had been breathing fire at Lei Ming was also cleaved in two, its demonic core even being shattered.

With a sinister expression, Marquis Nanlong retreated to the rear with his concubines and subordinates. Lei Ming's sword only pierced through the beast-drawn carriage and killed the demon beasts, without harming anyone.

Lei Ming sheathed his flying sword and calmly looked at Nanlong Hou. Nanlong Hou remained silent, releasing his divine sense, which transformed into an invisible force that pressed down on Lei Ming. Lei Ming immediately understood the other party's intention: a contest of divine sense was about to begin.

In a contest of divine sense, Lei Ming was not afraid of Nanlong Hou. His divine sense also transformed into an invisible force, rushing back towards Nanlong Hou's divine sense. When cultivators reach a high level, their primordial spirit power becomes tangible. As the two clashed, continuous explosions echoed in the sky, and powerful forces stirred up gales that swept towards the two, blurring their figures.

"Divine sense manifested! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lei's divine sense to be so powerful so soon after his breakthrough!" Cheng Guangkun exclaimed in surprise.

Han Li watched the contest intently, secretly comparing his own strength to Lei Ming's. In terms of spiritual power, Han Li, having cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, was no less formidable than Nanlong Hou. However, compared to Lei Ming, Han Li was still no match.

"Brother Lei is truly a genius. Whether it's magic power, spells, magic treasures, or divine sense, he surpasses me. I wonder what his background is!" Han Li was completely convinced of Lei Ming's abilities.

The explosions in the sky grew increasingly frequent, and a massive white circle of gale-force winds engulfed Lei Ming and Nanlong Hou. Shortly after, a blinding white light flashed across the sky, followed by a thunderclap, and the violent gale-force winds dispersed in all directions. Lei Ming's figure reappeared; his face was calm, unchanged from before. Nanlong Hou then withdrew from the gale-force winds. Han Li and the others noticed that Nanlong Hou's aura was unstable, clearly indicating he had been injured in the previous battle.

"Well done, truly a promising young man!" Marquis Nanlong took out a beast-drawn carriage from his storage bag. His carriage was also a magical treasure, quite valuable. "I had long heard that Fellow Daoist Lei of the Pangu Sect overpowered Nascent Soul cultivators with his Core Formation cultivation. I originally thought it was just hearsay, but now it seems to be true. Fellow Daoist Lei's spiritual sense is no less than mine, truly astonishing."

Lei Ming said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. The contest just now was a draw. Your presence at my Pangu Sect makes you an honored guest. Please forgive my poor hospitality earlier."

The two, who had just been fiercely fighting, instantly became friends. Afterwards, following the rules of the Pangu Sect, Marquis Nanlong lowered the beast-drawn carriage to the ground, entered the city through the main gate, and then went up the mountain. Lei Ming returned to the mountain to continue his conversation with Han Li and the others.

"Fellow Daoist is truly remarkable. To make that old monster, Marquis Nanlong, suffer a loss is something few people besides great cultivators could do," said Ancestor Linghu with a smile.

"It's not so much that we suffered a loss, but rather that we made him back down." Lei Ming said thoughtfully, "This person seems to have done it intentionally..."

"Fellow Daoist Lei can see clearly that Marquis Nanlong was sent by the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to test the Pangu Sect," Fire Dragon Boy laughed. "Moreover, this is just the beginning. People from the three major forces will be arriving soon, so Fellow Daoist Lei should be prepared."

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Lan, but even if Venerable Zhiyang comes in person, I am not afraid," Lei Ming said.

Master Zhiyang is a great cultivator of the Righteous Path Alliance and one of the three giants of Tiannan, with a renowned reputation.

Fire Dragon Boy wanted to offer another word of advice, but the thought of Lei Ming's Five Elements Divine Light filled him with dread.

"Perhaps Fellow Daoist Lei really does possess the strength of a Great Cultivator," Fire Dragon Child thought to himself.

Marquis Nanlong ascended the mountain according to the rules of the Pangu Sect. He was displeased, but he did not show it on his face. He casually greeted the Fire Dragon Boy and the others, and then sat down by himself.

"This fellow Daoist is also unfamiliar." Marquis Nanlong looked at Han Li.

"My name is Han Li, the Supreme Elder of the Luoyun Sect and a guest professor of the Pangu Sect," Han Li introduced himself.

"Fellow Daoist's divine sense is also quite remarkable." Marquis Nanlong was rather surprised. Lei Ming was one thing, but he didn't expect there to be someone like Han Li.

Han Li smiled but didn't say anything.

As everyone was chatting, another Nascent Soul cultivator arrived, this time with an even stronger aura than Marquis Nanlong.

"It's actually Fellow Daoists Long Han and Feng Bing from the Luanming Sect. Fellow Daoist Lei must have quite a lot of influence." Marquis Nanlong glanced at them and said with a strange smile.

"Ah, these two rarely go out." The expressions of Huolong Tongzi and the others changed. They were wary of Nanlong Hou, but not afraid of him. However, the people coming now were different. Long Han and Feng Bing were a dual cultivation couple. Both of them had reached the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage. Because they practiced the dual cultivation secret technique together, they could rival a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator when they joined forces.

"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat while I go to greet them."

Long Han and Feng Bing arrived at the Pangu Sect with a dozen or so people. Seeing the imposing presence of the Pangu Sect, Long Han smiled and said, "I heard that the Pangu Sect has only been established for a little over ten years, yet it has already become quite powerful. Given time, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will likely gain another powerful force."

Feng Bing possessed an exceptionally beautiful demeanor, but her personality was cold. She said, "The Pangu Sect prides itself on its aloofness and has never participated in any power. I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao Alliance cannot tolerate it."

"Then we'll have to see what this Five Elements Ancestor can do," Long Han said. "He's here!"

Lei Ming stopped a few hundred meters away from Long Han and the others, and said, "I have long admired the names of you two fellow Daoists, but I never expected to meet you here."

Long Han said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Lei, you are too kind. Xi Kingdom is also part of my Heavenly Dao Alliance. Fellow Daoist Lei has established a sect here, so he is one of us. It is only right and proper that we come here."

Lei Ming's expression remained unchanged: "The Pangu Sect welcomes both of you fellow Daoists, please!"

Not long after Long Han and his group arrived, the envoy of the Righteous Path Alliance also arrived. They sent Ma Kui from the Haoran Pavilion, who was also a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Of the major powers, only the Demonic Path remains. What do you all think they will send?" Marquis Nanlong raised the topic, and everyone's expressions varied.

"The demonic path has always been domineering, so the newcomer is probably quite strong. I guess they might be from the Spirit Control Sect," said Patriarch Linghu.

"Perhaps it's the Ghost Spirit Sect," said Fire Dragon Boy.

"I guess it's the Demon Flame Sect, after all, Fellow Daoist Lei has a grudge against the Demon Flame Sect." Marquis Nanlong said with a smile, looking quite confident.
