Immortality begins with Swallowing the Stars.

Chapter 102 The God of War, Heavenly Wind, has descended!

Inside the Ice Palace in Tianfeng Canyon.

Yu Feng, the chief innate elder of the Yu Huang Sect, with his handsome appearance and a smooth purple robe, suddenly opened his eyes.

The surrounding air seemed to be subtly distorted, and streams of dark light swirled and circled around him, making him appear like a deity.

"The Void Realm! This 'Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain Opening' is indeed the ultimate transmission from Ancestor Yu the Great. I've only collected ten pieces... and it's already allowed me to fully comprehend the Way of Water!"

Yu Feng was considered the strongest and highest-ranking innate expert among the Yu Huang Sect, only one step away from the Void Realm. This time, he was ordered by his master to explore the North Sea Continent, and unexpectedly, he actually broke through to the innate realm again.

Yu Feng's eyes gleamed with a mysterious light: "Excellent! Perhaps we can unify the North Sea before the Ancestor arrives!"

The reason he had remained inactive and did not agree to the idea of ​​the God of War Tianfeng to launch a war was that only three innate golden core cultivators, including himself, had come this time. The Void Realm demon beast "Rift Wind Dragon Falcon" had left the North Sea for the Nine Provinces because it had to rush back to report the news immediately.

Given the speed of the "Rending Wind Dragon Falcon," which ranks among the top three in the world, the Supreme Elder and the Innate Realm experts of the Yu Emperor Sect should already be on their way.

If the God of War Tianfeng were to lead the unification of the continent, it would be more difficult for the Yuhuang Sect to integrate the North Sea in the future.

After all, the Yuhuang Sect couldn't transport a large number of troops from the Nine Provinces. In the beginning, they could only rely on local forces to rule the North Sea Continent, specifically the Tianfeng Family.

Now that he has become a Void Realm expert, even though he has only just broken through, his strength has greatly increased, allowing him to stand on equal footing with the God of War, Tianfeng, without fear of him overshadowing him.

Dressed in black, the Heavenly Wind War God entered the palace in shock: "Elder Yu... Elder Yu, you've broken through to the War God realm?"

The innate martial saint of the Yuhuang Sect has become a Void Realm expert so quickly by comprehending the divine axe and the Heavenly God Stone Carving.

In an instant, the hidden thoughts that had been in the mind of the God of War Tianfeng vanished completely.

"It seems my Tianfeng family is truly destined to be tied to this extraterrestrial sect's big ship..."

Tianfeng War God was also a ruthless and ambitious man; once the thought arose, he immediately made a decision.

"Elder Yu, I, Duanmu... the elites of all the major forces in the North Sea Continent have gathered at Flame Ridge in the Eastern Hua Domain. Even the Mu family, descendants of the Duanmu Celestial God, have come. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If the two of us join forces, along with the army of my Tianfeng family, we are more than enough to completely annihilate them!"

"It's not the Tianfeng family's army." Yu Feng's face was full of smugness. "Elder Tianfeng, it's the Yuhuang Sect's army."

……

Hundreds of thousands of troops have already gathered near Flame Ridge and Niutou Mountain.

The military camps of each faction were divided into different areas and stationed around the mountains.

However, what should have been a situation of negotiation, confrontation, or even a chaotic battle strangely maintained a general peace.

Because everyone's attention was drawn to the suddenly rising "Hidden Sword Pavilion".

This force, with fewer than a thousand men, managed to hold onto a region despite the combined strength of several major families in the Donghua Domain.

Many experts flocked to the battlefield where the two sides were locked in a standoff to watch.

Behind the allied forces of the Yan, Xiahou, and Duan families, the seven Martial Saints gritted their teeth as they watched a few figures, isolated and guarding a large area, surrounded by the army.

There wasn't a single soldier around the Hidden Sword Pavilion's camp; they were all mining fire-gilded iron in the mountains behind the camp.

Only Teng Qingshan, Mei Xiaoying, the Wei brothers, and Elder Mei were standing or sitting. Within a radius of several miles, there seemed to be an invisible barrier, preventing the army outside the barrier from crossing the line!

Inside the tent, Liang Jiusheng sat cross-legged, seemingly lost in thought with his eyes closed. Only Yang Wang and his son Yang Dong pulled back the curtain and peeked out.

"Wow, I've never seen anything like this before..."

Yang Wang is a peak-level martial artist. If it weren't for the conflict with the Helian family, he would be considered a strongman in the Duanmu Continent and could serve as a guest elder in any family.

He was naturally knowledgeable, and the scene before him was almost absurd in his eyes.

Traditionally, it is the army that protects the Innate Martial Saint, but in this Hidden Sword Pavilion, it is the Innate Martial Saint who protects the low-level martial artists who are mining behind him.

"Five Martial Saints..." Yang Wang glanced back at Liang Jiusheng, who was sitting cross-legged in silence. "Six Martial Saints. Even if the Helian family excludes the Heavenly Wind War God, the number of Martial Saints in the clan wouldn't be much more than that... It seems that Dong'er has chosen the right sect."

The shorter, chubby boy, Yang Dong, looked at the five figures outside with excitement: "I want to become a martial saint like that someday!"

On a rock not far from the area guarded by the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

Fu Dao, the strongest member of the Fu family, known as the "Thunder Blade Martial Saint," wearing a dark blue fur coat and carrying a giant cleaver, exclaimed in surprise, "I've heard of the Hidden Sword Pavilion before, but I didn't expect it to have so many Martial Saint experts. That young man carrying the silver spear is even stronger than me."

"What?" Fu Yunzhan, the head of the Fu family, exclaimed incredulously, "That young man looks no more than thirty years old, how could he...?"

But then he remembered that the three masked martial saints of the Hidden Sword Pavilion looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his voice gradually lowered.

Moreover, they had all witnessed the shocking scene of the young man carrying a silver spear charging into the army formation, killing a Xiantian Martial Saint from the Xiahou family and a Xiantian Martial Saint from the Yan family, and then escaping from the army unharmed.

Otherwise, even the great martial saints of the Hidden Sword Pavilion would not be able to deter tens of thousands of troops from crossing the line.

The average quality of soldiers in the armies of the major families on the Duanmu Continent is far lower than that of the armies of the major sects on the Kyushu Continent. Among the soldiers, there are less than one in ten who are internal strength martial artists. Therefore, top-level martial saints can often kill generals and seize flags in the midst of thousands of troops.

This is also why major powers in the Duanmu Continent revere top-tier martial saints. Whenever a situation similar to the current struggle for the Fire Flowing Iron Mine arises, each family will pay a huge price to hire a top-tier martial saint to oversee their army.

The deterrent power of a top-tier martial saint is comparable to that of tens of thousands of troops.

On the other side, the top martial saints, such as the Blood Blade Martial Saint of the Shangguan family and the Female Martial Saint of the Wu family, also looked at the Hidden Sword Pavilion's martial saints who had intimidated tens of thousands of troops with just a few people.

"With just these five Martial Saints, especially the 'Silver Spear Martial Saint,' this Hidden Sword Pavilion, which appeared out of nowhere, is enough to be considered the third largest power, second only to the Rising Sun Trading Company and the Heavenly Wind Family!"

"The flag of the Rising Sun Trading Company! The Mu family has arrived!"

"The Mu family has arrived!"

"The Mu family is heading this way... Could it be to deal with the Hidden Sword Pavilion?"

Will a battle between top-tier martial saints occur?

……

"stop!"

The army carrying the flag of the Rising Sun Trading Company suddenly stopped.

This made the allied forces of the Yan, Xiahou, and Duan families somewhat uneasy.

"Elder, we have a prior agreement with the Helian family that neither family can directly interfere with the mines outside of the Western Tang Region and the Northern Han Region..."

The eldest elder of the Mu family, Mu Wang, known as the "Rising Sun Martial Saint" and the number one Martial Saint on the Duanmu Continent, sneered: "The Helian family was the first to violate the alliance, sending a large army to annihilate the Fang family of the Southern Mountain Region, all for a piece of divine axe stone carving. What do I, the Mu family, have to worry about?"

"Sigh..." The chubby Second Elder, with his large belly, said with some worry, "I'm just afraid that if the Helian family also comes, a conflict will break out between the two families, and we might not be able to control it."

The Mu family's ancestor, the God of War Yunmeng, and the Helian family's God of War Tianfeng maintained a delicate balance. To prevent direct conflict between the Void Realm Gods, the two families agreed that neither could directly intervene in the treasures or mineral veins in the two domains outside the Northern Cold Domain and the Western Tang Domain.

"Second Elder is overthinking it. Although the War God of the Wind subdued the innate divine beast Snow Feather Eagle, my Mu family is a descendant of the Thunder Blade God. With the legacy of the Thunder Blade God, we are already in an invincible position. If the War God of the Wind had any sense, he would never have made a move!" The Sixth Elder with silver hair chuckled.

"Rising Sun Martial Saint" Mu Wang turned his head to look at the area occupied by the Hidden Sword Pavilion not far away: "It seems that the Helian family did not come. The Hidden Sword Pavilion is as I expected. I just did not expect that Elder Mei is also a Xiantian Martial Saint."

Teng Qingshan and the three heroes of Wan Jianlou all joined the Assassin's Guild, and their origins naturally could not be kept secret from the Rising Sun Trading Company.

Knowing some of the secrets of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the Rising Sun Trading Company has always maintained a friendly attitude towards it, which is why the Hidden Sword Pavilion was able to develop rapidly in Nanshan City.

"The five innate martial saints are fine, but as for Teng Qingshan, although I haven't fought him, his strength is probably not much weaker than mine." Mu Wang said slowly, "Since we're going to win over the Hidden Sword Pavilion, let's go all the way."

After saying this, he actually stepped out of the carriage and came to the camp of the Hidden Sword Pavilion in full view of everyone.

He chatted and laughed with Teng Qingshan and Elder Mei.

"Oh no! The Mu family has been in cahoots with the Hidden Sword Pavilion all along!" The leaders of the Yan, Xiahou, and Duan families, unwilling to accept this, were shocked.

Sure enough, the next moment, the army of the Rising Sun Trading Company began to attack the three-way alliance.

Instead of targeting the Hidden Sword Pavilion, which had the fewest troops, the Rising Sun Trading Company decided to expel the three major families of the Eastern Hua Domain.

The "Thunder Blade Martial Saint" Fu Dao, the Female Martial Saint, and the Blood Blade Martial Saint, who were watching the battle from not far away, were all shocked.

The Martial Saints of the Hidden Sword Pavilion are already enough to inspire fear. If the Rising Sun Trading Company were to win them over, the two families could join forces and squeeze out all the other families!

The mere combination of the 'Silver Spear Martial Saint' and the 'Rising Sun Martial Saint' from the Hidden Sword Pavilion was enough to disregard the army and kill any commander or innate Martial Saint amidst thousands of troops!

Their faces darkened, and they all ran back to their respective military camps.

"Haha, Mr. Teng, why don't you all join my Sunrise Trading Company's camp? My Sunrise Trading Company promises to give 30% of the Fire-Glazed Iron we obtain to the Hidden Sword Pavilion, how about that?" Mu Wang laughed.

To him, Teng Qingshan was the strongest in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

Teng Qingshan and Elder Mei exchanged a glance and readily agreed.

After all, the Hidden Sword Pavilion only had a few hundred people, so their mining speed was naturally far slower than that of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Rising Sun Trading Company.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't stop other families' armies from mining fire-gilded iron in other mountain areas. It would be easier to let the Rising Sun Trading Company's army take over the whole operation and let the Hidden Sword Pavilion sit back and divide the spoils.

The fact that "Rising Sun Martial Saint" did this is clearly an attempt to win over the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

Mu Wang laughed heartily, "With the Hidden Sword Pavilion and my Rising Sun Trading Company joining forces, we can dominate the entire Niu Tou Mountain! Later, Mr. Teng and I will visit the military camps of those major families separately..."

suddenly--

Rumble~~~

The ground shook slightly.

"Look, over there!" Mei Xiaoying exclaimed in shock as she gazed northwards.

"It's the Silver Thread War Hou! The Tianfeng Clan!" Mu Wang and several elders of the Rising Sun Trading Company blurted out.

Immediately, the senior executives of the Sunrise Trading Company were overjoyed, as they had already reached a cooperation agreement with the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

"Hehe, this time we must make the Tianfeng family suffer a great loss!" Mu Wang sneered inwardly.

This is why he was willing to spend 30% of his Fire-Glazed Iron to win over the Hidden Sword Pavilion, especially Teng Qingshan, who was known as the "Silver Spear Martial Saint." He didn't care about the other families; the Helian family was the real threat.

"The Tianfeng family lives closer to here, why are they only arriving now..." the Sixth Elder asked疑惑地, "And that flag doesn't seem to belong to the Helian family... the writing is so strange..."

The Mu family's innate martial saints either sneered or looked puzzled, while Teng Qingshan, Elder Mei, and the others were dumbfounded.

"Is that... the character 'Yu'?" Wei Shi looked at the flag that appeared in the distance with some disbelief.

Over thousands of years of evolution, the script on the Duanmu Continent has become very different from that on the Kyushu Continent.

Liang Jiusheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, suddenly opened his eyes, as if lightning flashed in them.

He then walked out of the tent amidst the curious gazes of Yang Wang and his son Yang Dong.

"Elder Liang!"

"master!"

The Mu family's martial saints were startled to find an old man inside the Hidden Sword Pavilion's tent, who was also the master of three of the Ghost Face Martial Saints.

Teng Qingshan shook his head inwardly. Everyone, including the Xuri Trading Company, thought that he was the strongest in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, but in fact, the undisputed strongest among them was Elder Liang of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.

Even though he had a vague premonition that even if he broke through to the late stage of Gang Jin in the future, he might not be a match for this old man.

Liang Jiusheng, his sleeves empty, gazed into the distance, his tone grave: "A Void Realm expert has arrived!"

"What?"

"impossible!"

"It's the Heavenly Wind War God? Damn it! How dare the Heavenly Wind War God..."

The First Elder, Mu Wang, was startled. Regardless of whether the mysterious old man from the Hidden Sword Pavilion was telling the truth, he dared not gamble on the one in ten chance: "Send a message to the Ancestor of Rising Sun City!!"

Several small birds suddenly darted out and flew into the sky, heading towards the western horizon.

But then he was instantly killed by a large eagle that was pure white and without a single blemish!

The enormous eagle circled in the sky, as if it had created an absolute barrier, from which no eagle could escape!

"A Snow-feathered Eagle?!"

Not only the Mu family of Xuri Trading Company, but all the innate martial saints on Niutou Mountain exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone knows this innate golden core demon beast, which is famous throughout the four regions of the continent, and its master.

Heavenly Wind War God!

An invincible Void Realm expert has arrived!
