660: Chapter 660 Senichi (25)

"If you want to fight, you can."

"You must ask me first."

Duan Changfeng stood opposite him, the arrogance on his face finally dissipating, replaced by a deeper scrutiny.

"Chi Li of the Third Peak."

He spoke slowly, "In these few thousand years, you have indeed made significant progress."

Chi Li did not reply, simply raising his hand as the Phoenix fire in his palm burned brighter.

An Aura belonging to the True Immortal realm spread out from him.

Although he had only just entered the True Immortal realm and his Foundation was not yet as stable as Duan Changfeng's, that Aura was mixed with another, more ancient and domineering dao rhyme.

It was the Phoenix blood, and also the prototype of that long-lost Great Immortal Technique.

Duan Changfeng's gaze truly darkened.

He no longer looked at Qin Yun, instead focusing all his attention on Chi Li.

Outside the Sect gate, the watching Disciples and Elders were in an uproar.

"Hasn't Chi Li only been in the Sect for a few thousand years? How is he already a True Immortal?"

"That's not all. Look at that fire on him—it's the power of Phoenix blood, far more condensed than the Immortal Qi of an ordinary True Immortal."

"And that Great Immortal Technique... Could it be that he has mastered that Incomplete Manual from the Third Peak that no one else could cultivate?"

Several Elders from the Third Peak stood behind Chi Li, their expressions complex.

They were happy for Chi Li's brilliance, yet worried that he had recklessly stood out to clash head-on with the First Peak's top Prodigy.

Qin Yun stood beside Chi Li, glancing at the trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, his eyes flickering slightly.

It had been thousands of years; this kid had truly grown up.

Just then, Qin Yun suddenly stepped forward, standing beside Chi Li.

He looked at Duan Changfeng and spoke calmly.

"If you want to fight, let's fight together."

Chi Li turned his head, frowning, "You rest; it's my turn this time."

Qin Yun did not retreat.

"So this is the First Peak's top Prodigy."

He looked at Duan Changfeng and added.

"Nothing special."

These words were like a slap, striking Duan Changfeng hard across the face.

He was completely enraged.

"You're courting death!"

Duan Changfeng no longer held anything back; the prototype of the Great Immortal Technique behind him, which he had been holding back, was finally fully revealed at this moment.

Boom!

A golden, ancient talisman seal slowly emerged behind him. On that talisman, Profound Yang Immortal Qi flowed, transforming into golden chains that suppressed all things.

"Heavenly Palace Profound Suppression Seal."

As soon as this technique appeared, the entire Zangdao Peak gate groaned under the unbearable pressure.

The surrounding Disciples retreated repeatedly; those below the True Immortal realm couldn't even get close.

"Two things picked up from useless peaks dare to clamor before me?"

Duan Changfeng's voice was icy. The golden talisman seal crashed down, targeting not only Qin Yun but also encompassing Chi Li.

He intended to suppress both of them in one move.

"Bring it on!"

Chi Li let out a low roar, advancing instead of retreating.

The Phoenix fire on his body surged, transforming into a giant fire Phoenix phantom, charging up to meet the golden seal.

Prototype of a Great Immortal Technique clashed with the prototype of a Great Immortal Technique.

Qin Yun did not meet it head-on. His body flickered, pushing Fixed Immortal Travel to its limit. The Light of the Epoch transformed into a thin line at his fingertips, precisely cutting toward the most unstable node of the golden seal's operation.

Chi Li took the lead, clashing head-on.

Qin Yun took the role of disturbance, providing support.

Their coordination formed a certain tacit understanding in that instant.

Rumble!

The fire Phoenix and the golden seal collided, and a terrifying energy storm swept out.

Chi Li groaned, forced back several steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth again. Clearly, he had suffered in the direct collision.

But Duan Changfeng did not fare well either.

Qin Yun's strike of the Light of the Epoch had hit the key node of his Immortal Qi circulation, causing his Great Immortal Technique to falter for a split second.

It was this split-second falter that gave Chi Li a chance to breathe.

"What's going on?"

"Senior Brother Duan actually failed to suppress them?"

"That Chi Li is strong, but that Qin Yun... how did he do it?"

"Could Senior Brother Duan be about to suffer a loss at their hands?"

The murmurs of the watching Disciples were like needles pricking at Duan Changfeng's heart.

His face flushed green and then white; he no longer cared about the demeanor of a top Prodigy.

"Since you both want to die, I will grant your wish!"

He roared, no longer using a prototype, but paying a price to forcibly activate a truly complete Immortal Technique.

A more brilliant golden sun rose behind him; this was already a true Great Immortal Technique.

"Not good!"

The Elders of the Third Peak's expressions changed drastically; this had already exceeded the scope of a sparring match between Disciples.

Chi Li's pupils constricted; he could feel that he could not block this attack.

But just at the moment the golden sun was about to descend.

Qin Yun's Aura changed.

A flash of determination crossed his eyes; he no longer held anything back.

The heavenly dragon token in his hand, the azure pagoda in his Sea of Consciousness, and even the remaining dao rhyme of the entire Zangdao Peak were, at this moment, forcibly linked together by him, using the "azure pagoda Record" as a guide.

"Heavenly Dragon Suppresses the Realm!"

A low shout came from Qin Yun's mouth.

The next moment, an intent, far more ancient and domineering than Duan Changfeng's Great Immortal Technique, descended.

It was not a collision of power, but a suppression of order.

A blurry Dragon shadow flashed behind Qin Yun, and the Law of the entire space seemed to be forcibly held down at this moment.

Duan Changfeng's golden sun, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, began to crumble inch by inch from its core in the face of this intent.

Boom!

The sun exploded, turning into golden light that filled the sky.

Duan Changfeng was struck as if by lightning; his entire body was forcefully pressed down from mid-air by an irresistible force, smashing into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The entire scene was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned.

An Elder shouted, "Could it be a Heavenly Immortal Technique... Could it be that lost Heavenly Immortal Technique of Zangdao Peak!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place erupted.

A Heavenly Immortal Technique was a supreme secret art that at least a Heavenly Immortal could fully master.

And the first Peak Master of Zangdao Peak had left behind an extremely extraordinary Heavenly Immortal Technique.

That Peak Master was one of the founders of the Yaochi Immortal Sect, a powerful Immortal Lord.

The next moment, one powerful Aura after another descended.

Ling Immortals, Profound Immortals, and even several great Heavenly Immortal figures who had been in seclusion for many years were alarmed.

The First Peak's Elder's face turned livid, and he immediately descended, saying "Disciple sparring should stop at a point," but in reality, he wanted to protect Duan Changfeng.

The Third Peak's Elders also hurriedly protected Chi Li and Qin Yun.

Both sides argued endlessly, and the situation completely spiraled out of control.

Just then, a majestic voice came from the highest point of Yaochi, suppressing all the clamor.

The Yaochi Immortal Lord had arrived.

He glanced at the disheveled Duan Changfeng, then at Qin Yun, and finally his gaze fell on the heavenly dragon token.

"This order is of great importance; it is not something you alone can hold."

The Immortal Lord's voice was flat but carried an unquestionable will.

"Hand it over for the Sect to manage."

The people of the First Peak breathed a sigh of relief, while those of the Third Peak felt their hearts sink.

Since the Immortal Lord had spoken personally, the matter was settled.

But just then.

An old voice came from the deepest part of Zangdao Peak.

"Does the current Yaochi Immortal Sect even deserve to touch this heavenly dragon token?"

The entire scene went instantly silent.

Everyone, including that Immortal Lord, froze.

Following that, the crazy old man, carrying a wine gourd, walked out of the ruins step by step and stood beside Qin Yun.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the high and mighty Yaochi Immortal Lord, and grinned.

"Junior, didn't your Elders teach you what can be touched and what cannot?"

The Immortal Lord's expression changed drastically the moment he saw the Old Madman.

The majesty and calmness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by shock, wariness, and even a trace of... fear.

He remembered the record about Zangdao Peak in the Sect's oldest secret scrolls.

"Senior... is it you..."

The Immortal Lord's voice actually carried a bit of respect.

The Old Madman snorted.

"If I hadn't come out, would my Junior's order have been snatched by you unfilial descendants?"

"If there is a next time, I will tear down this Yaochi."

These words made everyone's scalp tingle.

But what shocked them even more was that the Yaochi Immortal Lord actually bowed deeply to the Old Madman.

"This Junior is wrong."

The next moment, the Immortal Lord turned and announced loudly.

"The heavenly dragon token belongs to Qin Yun; no one is to discuss it further."

"Additionally, from this day forth, Qin Yun is appointed as the Master of the 108th Peak, Zangdao Peak, and shall enjoy the authority of a Peak Master!"

The whole place completely exploded.

After the turmoil subsided, the Immortal Lord announced another piece of news.

"The Ancient Dragon Burial Ground will officially open in a hundred years."

Afterward, Chi Li found Qin Yun alone.

"Who exactly is that old guy?"

Qin Yun shook his head; he wanted to know too.

Chi Li took a deep breath, his expression grave.

"Qin Yun, we must go to the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground."

"The Phoenix egg inside me senses that there is something inside that is crucial to it, relating to whether it can successfully hatch."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun understood.

The azure pagoda was closely related to the Nine-Headed Phoenix lineage; this trip to the ancient ground was imperative.

He could also take this opportunity to upgrade his human Dao methods to prepare for entering the ancient ground.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Using his rights as Peak Master, Qin Yun spent a large amount of Immortal materials to successfully upgrade "Myriad Things Born" and "Sever Self" to the level of Lesser Immortal Techniques.

Furthermore, he discovered that the Nine Techniques could also be upgraded.

The first one he chose to upgrade was the body technique.

Not having an Immortal body was always his biggest weakness.

On this day, the Ancient Dragon Burial Ground finally opened.

The Yaochi Immortal Sect's team had assembled, and a list was circulated throughout all the peaks.

At the top of the list, two words were clearly written.

Qin Yun.
