CHAPTER 305: CHAPTER 282: PEAK VS PEAK! THE TURMOIL ENDS!

At this moment.

As the gray-clad figure shrouded in the aura of the Great Tao stepped out from the void.

The Ninefold Celestial Palace, originally a scene of raging storms and furious waves, suddenly calmed.

Everyone seemed to be held down by an invisible giant hand, unable to move an inch.

"Is this... the Peak Realm Ancestor of the Sikong family, Sikong Zaichao?!"

"Hiss—! The Peak Realm Ancestor has arrived!!"

"It is said that this Peak Realm Ancestor of the Sikong family attained the Tao three thousand years ago, living through an incredibly long history. He is truly the Stabilizing Needle of the Sikong family!"

"First the Longevity Soldiers, then the Peak Realm! This Immortal Suspended Mountain visit is really worth it!!"

Many cultivators from all corners of the Thirteen States felt a tremor in their hearts, their eyes revealing an expression of disbelief.

In today’s East Profound Domain, the Longevity Realm had long vanished, and the Peak Realm and Longevity Soldiers served as the suppressed foundation of clans, rarely appearing in the world, and the world had already stopped seeing them!

"Senior Sikong."

Above the void, before the three immortal gates.

Even the Purple Gold King and the other three powerful figures from the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages slightly cupped their hands, performing the courtesy of the junior.

The gray-clad figure, like the embodiment of the Great Tao, merely nodded slightly, then looked to a void and said:

"Fellow Taoist Chen, how about we end the affairs of the juniors here?"

With these words falling.

Boom.

The entire void was like a pebble dropped into a tranquil lake, creating ripples.

The next moment.

Countless primal immortal lights shot from all directions, finally converging into a thin, elderly figure.

"Ancestor!"

Instantly, Chen Daoyan’s eyes flickered as he was the first to bow respectfully.

The other Chen Family disciples were shocked, inhaling deeply.

"This, this... Is this our Ziwei Chen Family Ancestor?!"

They glanced at each other, able to see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

Truthfully, they’ve been in the Ziwei Chen Family for so long, yet this was their first time seeing the true Stabilizing Needle of their ancestral lineage!

"Oh? It’s this elder?"

Chen Zhixing furrowed his brows, showing an expression of surprise.

This elder was not meeting for the first time.

If he remembered correctly, years ago during a family’s early education class when he was young and frivolous, provoked by a clan elder, he harshly criticized the family cultivation technique as inadequate.

Later, this elder had appeared.

At that time, he didn’t think much of it, only assuming he was a clan elder.

He never thought this elder was the Peak Ancestor of his own lineage!

"Hiss—! The Chen Family’s Peak Ancestor is here too!"

"The Chen Family Peak Ancestor Chen Tianyuan!"

"It’s said that this Peak Ancestor of the Ziwei Chen family is the direct child of the Great Longevity founder Chen Xuanfeng of the Chen Family from that era!"

"A direct child of Longevity! One of the oldest beings of this time, isn’t that right?"

"Back then, Chen Tianyuan, covered in the glory of Chen Xuanfeng, wasn’t prominent in that era, but tigers don’t sire dogs, and Chen Tianyuan is in no way inferior to his father Chen Xuanfeng!"

"If the Path of Longevity hadn’t broken off and Longevity couldn’t be found in the world, perhaps this child of Longevity might have already proved the Great Longevity!"

At this moment, countless people whispered softly, discussing under the breath.

Even more were shaken to the core, their eyes revealing fright.

Could it be...

The grand competition of the East Profound Domain this time is going to turn into a battle of the peaks?

They couldn’t dare to imagine!

Know that having reached the Nirvana First Realm, one could easily grasp stars, capture the moon, and destroy celestial bodies with a single strike!

If peak magnates were to war in the East Profound Domain, it would likely fracture the Thirteen States, and the Divine State would sink!

"Senior Chen."

The Purple Gold King and the other three unpromptedly gave a slight bow to Chen Tianyuan.

Simultaneously, a thought rose in their hearts; if these two Peak Realm magnates truly decided to duel, they would need to bring forth the top experts from the Tao Lineage and relocate them to Outer Heaven!

A battle of Peak Realm is already akin to an apocalyptic disaster!

In an instant.

The entire Immortal Suspended Mountain fell into a tense silence, with everyone holding their breath in suspense, their eyes locked tightly on Sikong Zaichao and the other.

In the void.

The Peak Ancestor Chen Tianyuan did not speak hastily but first glanced at Chen Daoyan and then at Chen Zhixing and others on the deck, and seeing that they were unharmed, he finally opened his mouth expressionlessly:

"Alright."

Sikong Zaichao nodded at the words, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Hmm, our noble families have come a long way to reach this point. In such a time, only raising each other up prevails over lowering each other down, there’s no need to descend into fatal contention."

At these words, Sikong Xuanji couldn’t help but retort anxiously:

"Ancestor, that Chen Zhixing killed my Sikong family’s..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish, Sikong Zaichao coldly glanced at Sikong Xuanji.

Sikong Xuanji had to swallow all his words, though he still gazed unwillingly at Chen Zhixing in the distance.

Chen Zhixing ignored the gaze, but glanced unexpectedly at Sikong Zaichao.

People raise each other up and lower each other down...

It seems this Sikong Ancestor has broadened his outlook!

"Fellow Taoist Sikong, your words are reasonable."

Countless primal immortal lights enveloping Chen Tianyuan finally revealed a slight smile on his aged, expressionless face.

"Well, then I shall take my descendants and retreat first."

Sikong Zaichao nodded, then cast a deep glance at Chen Zhixing, his gaze sweeping past Chen Tianyuan.

"Let’s go." He withdrew his gaze, his grand sleeve sweeping, immediately enveloping the Sikong family’s disciples along with the golden carriage drawn by the nine True Dragons.

Sun and moon reversed, heaven and earth overturned.

The Sikong family quickly departed.

In a moment, the entire Immortal Suspended Mountain let out a long breath of relief.

If a true Peak battle had erupted here, surely everyone would have been caught in the aftermath, unable to escape.

"Not bad, little fellow."

High above, Chen Tianyuan turned around, a smile gracing his lips as he nodded at Chen Zhixing.

Swoosh!

He dissolved into countless rain of light, vanishing between heaven and earth.

The once tumultuous Immortal Suspended Mountain finally returned to tranquility until this moment.

"Sikong Xuanji is rather fortunate."

Chen Daoyan shook his head, the Heaven-Opening Long Axe in his hand gradually dissipating between heaven and earth.

Sikong Xuanji’s Great Tao Foundation had nearly been severed by him; had the Sikong Ancestor arrived half an incense stick later, he’d have been able to kill Sikong Xuanji and others on the spot!

But with the two ancestors having settled the terms, he naturally had nothing more to say.

Boom.

He stepped back onto the deck.

And at the front of the three immortal gates.

The silver-haired old woman, the elderly man with immortal demeanor and bone, and the Purple Gold King exchanged glances, then looked toward Chen Zhixing, expressions of intrigued intent emerging.

"Chen Zhixing, we’ve all observed your performance."

"Which of our Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages do you have more interest in?"

The silver-haired old woman forced what she considered her most amicable smile, speaking first.
