However, just as he was fully focused, a sudden attack shattered the surrounding tranquility.
A beam of light shot out from the darkness, heading straight for Nangong Yehua.
He was startled and quickly dodged to the side, while simultaneously throwing a punch that collided with the beam of light.
With a loud bang, light scattered everywhere, and Nangong Yehua was also forced back several steps by the force.
He steadied himself and looked around warily. He saw figures slowly emerging from the darkness.
They were dressed in black robes, their faces hidden under hoods, and they held magical artifacts that shimmered with light in their hands.
"Hmph, as expected, someone has broken in."
A deep, hoarse voice came from among the men in black robes.
"However, do you think you can uncover the secrets of our Otsutsuki clan with your meager strength?"
Nangong Yehua snorted coldly, her gaze fixed firmly on the men in black robes:
"I don't care who you are, nor do I care what connection the Otsutsuki clan has with the cultivation world. But as long as I'm here, I will never let you do whatever you want!"
As he spoke, he flashed forward, charging towards the men in black robes like a nimble cheetah.
Every punch and kick was accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, and the power was so great that it made the air tremble.
However, those black-robed figures were no ordinary people. They were agile, and the magical weapons they wielded were incredibly powerful.
Beams of light and bursts of magic emanated from their hands, colliding with Nangong Yehua's attack and creating a series of booming sounds.
Despite being in the midst of it, Nangong Yehua showed no fear.
With astonishing perseverance and strength, he engaged in a fierce battle with those men in black robes.
Every encounter was fraught with danger and opportunity, but he always managed to turn danger into safety and crisis into his own advantage.
As the battle progressed, Nangong Yehua gradually discovered the weaknesses of those men in black robes.
He seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful punch to the chest of a man in black robes.
With a scream, the man in black robes was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
The battle between Nangong Yehua and the man in black robes inside the giant tower intensified, with each clash accompanied by a surge of energy that caused the entire tower space to tremble.
With his exceptional martial arts skills and indomitable will, he fought his way through countless obstacles and finally reached the last floor of the giant tower.
When he stepped onto this floor, the scene before him made him pause for a moment.
The place was empty, except for an antique table and a chair carved with dragons and phoenixes in the center.
A faint fragrance filled the air, making people feel relaxed and refreshed, as if all fatigue and pain were relieved at this moment.
Nangong Yehua's gaze fell on the chair, where an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom sat upright.
The old man was dressed in white, with long hair flowing down his shoulders, a kind face, and eyes that shone with wisdom.
He exuded an otherworldly aura, as if he were out of place in this world.
Nangong Yehua was inwardly on guard, but outwardly remained calm. He slowly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"Senior, who exactly are you? Why are you here?"
The old man smiled slightly, his voice gentle yet powerful:
"My name is Yi Jue."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua was suddenly startled.
Yi Jue—this name was familiar to him. It came from the legends of the Tian Tong Continent.
Chapter 656: In Search of an Answer
Yi Jue Da Xian was one of the ten great immortals in the early days. He was known for his superb medical skills and boundless magical powers, and once saved countless people from suffering.
He is an idol and hero in the hearts of countless people. But it is said that a long, long time ago, the Great Immortal Yijue ascended to immortality and disappeared without a trace, becoming a legendary being.
"You...you are the Great Immortal Yijue, one of the ten great immortals of the early Tiantong Continent?"
Nangong Yehua's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
The Great Immortal Yijue nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on his face:
"I didn't expect anyone to still remember my name, haha."
A surge of respect welled up in Nangong Yehua's heart, and he cupped his hands again, saying:
"Your name is renowned, how could I not know you? But there is one thing I don't understand: why are you here? Legend has it that you have already ascended to immortality?"
The Great Immortal Yijue's gaze deepened, and he slowly said:
"Ascension? That's nothing but a lie."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua was startled and asked in confusion:
"A lie? Does that mean ascension isn't real?"
The Great Immortal Yijue shook his head and sighed:
"Ascension does exist, but it is not as people imagine. In the ninja world, those who have reached the pinnacle of their abilities all pursue ascension."
"They hoped to break free from the constraints of this world and reach a higher realm. However, they did not know that the so-called ascension was simply because there was an even larger world above them."
Nangong Yehua's heart stirred, and he pressed on with the question:
"So, the so-called ascension is just because there is a wider world waiting for us to explore?"
The Great Immortal Yijue nodded approvingly:
“Brilliant! The ninja world is just a speck of dust in the universe, and above that speck of dust are countless stars and continents.”
"After those who have achieved great success ascend, they will come to a place called the Spirit Realm. That is the true world of cultivation, a world where powerful beings abound and the laws are strict."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua felt an unprecedented shock.
He never imagined that the ninja world he lived in was just a corner of the universe, and that there was such a vast world above him waiting to be explored.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then asked:
"Senior, why are you here? Did you not ascend to the Spirit Realm from the Tian Tong Continent?"
The Great Immortal Yijue smiled slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes:
"No, I did come here from the Tiantong Continent. But my purpose in coming here is not to ascend."
"It's about finding an answer, an answer about the universe, about life, about the laws."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua became even more curious. He pressed for an answer:
"Answer? What answer?"
The Great Immortal Yijue sighed and slowly said:
"I have cultivated in the Tiantong Continent for thousands of years. Although my magical power is boundless, I have never been able to break through the final bottleneck."
"To reach the true realm of immortals. I know this is because I still have obsessions and unsolved mysteries in my heart."
"Therefore, I decided to leave the Tian Tong Continent and come to this unfamiliar world to find the answer that can unravel the mystery in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua felt a deep respect for the Great Immortal Yijue.
His courage and determination in leaving his familiar world and coming to this unfamiliar place in pursuit of truth are truly admirable.
Chapter 657 Nangong Yehua's Arrogance
Nangong Yehua's expression changed drastically at that moment, as if a clear sky had suddenly been filled with dark clouds, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented determination and coldness.
He slightly raised his chin and said to the Great Immortal Yijue in an unquestionable tone:
"In that case, you should leave."
Upon hearing this, the Great Immortal Yijue was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.
He clearly hadn't expected this seemingly young junior to speak so rudely. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"what?"
Nangong Yehua did not back down; instead, he became even more resolute in his stance. He coldly stared at the Great Immortal Yijue and said, word by word:
"This ninja world is mine now. You can leave. Do you understand?"
Although his voice was calm, the domineering aura and ambition it contained were impossible to ignore.
A complex expression appeared on the face of the Great Immortal Yijue; he seemed to be trying to understand Nangong Yehua's intentions.
A moment later, he suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with sarcasm and helplessness.
"It's been many years since anyone dared to talk to me like that."
He spoke slowly, his tone revealing a calm acceptance of life's trials.
Nangong Yehua remained unmoved; instead, a more intense flame ignited in his eyes.
"So what if they are the Ten Great Immortals?"
He shouted provocatively.
"That old bastard should just die!"
These words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight to the heart of the Immortal Yijue.
The Great Immortal Yijue's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and his aura instantly became sharp.
He stared at Nangong Yehua, a dangerous glint in his deep eyes.
"Young man, your ambition and courage have impressed me."
He said slowly.
"But do you know what? On the path of cultivating immortality, ambition and courage alone are not enough."
Nangong Yehua sneered; he clearly did not agree with the words of the Great Immortal Yijue.
"Enough! You old fogey!"
he shouted.
Your era is over! Now it's our era! It's the era of us young people!
The Great Immortal Yijue shook his head, his eyes revealing a deep disappointment.
"you are wrong."
He said.
Asking for flowers
"The path to immortality cannot be traversed by ambition and courage alone. It also requires wisdom, patience, and a sense of awe."
"Your eagerness for quick success will only lead you further down this path."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua's expression turned even more grim. He clenched his fists, as if he were about to unleash a powerful force at any moment.
"Stop lecturing me!"
he shouted.
"Who do you think you are? You're nothing but an outdated old god!"
The Great Immortal Yi Jue sighed, realizing he could not persuade Nangong Yehua.
He slightly raised his chin and said in an unquestionable tone:
"Since you are so stubborn, then I will have no choice but to let my strength speak for itself."
Before he finished speaking, the figure of the Great Immortal Yijue pounced towards Nangong Yehua like a bolt of lightning.
His speed was simply beyond imagination. Although Nangong Yehua was also a veteran of countless battles...
But facing a powerful figure like the Great Immortal Yijue, he still felt an unprecedented pressure.
The two clashed instantly. The wind howled from their punches, and their magical power surged; the entire space seemed to be torn apart by their battle.
Chapter 658 Susanoo? A Little Trick
Despite Nangong Yehua's best efforts, he was still unable to withstand the onslaught of the Great Immortal Yijue.
He kept retreating and dodging, but he still couldn't shake off the entanglement of the Immortal Yijue.
"you lose."
