...
At the peak of Longhu Mountain, the surging sea of clouds billowed. A Daoist figure, dressed in Daoist robes and wearing a lotus crown, descended slowly.
Using the heavens and earth as 'stages', and the sea of clouds as 'stairs'. This scene, whether viewed from the perspective of the righteous or the demonic side, caused everyone to tremble in awe, treating the figure as if it were a deity.
"The Celestial Master, the Celestial Master of our Tian Shi Sect!"
An elderly disciple of the Tian Shi Sect, witnessing this, was moved to tears, his lips trembling. Who else possessed such extraordinary abilities? Stepping on the sea of clouds, descending from the sky?
Even the formidable figures in this world, surpassing the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, those with the unique ability to transcend the Celestial Phenomenon Realm by a large margin, couldn't achieve such a feat.
Only a Celestial Master who had mastered either the Infinite Yin or the Infinite Yang could have such means.
"Celestial Master!"
"Celestial Master!"
"The 183rd generation disciples of the Tian Shi Sect pay respects to the Celestial Master!"
Having witnessed this miraculous scene, numerous disciples of the Tian Shi Sect knelt down, continuously kowtowing. Disciples from other righteous sects also knelt, recognizing the special significance of a Celestial Master emerging from the Tian Shi Sect. It was customary for the heads of major sects to personally pay their respects.
"Celestial Master."
Master Pingyang's gaze was perplexed, different from other disciples and even the representatives of righteous sects. He, being an insider, knew about the recent emergence of a disciple recognized by the True Martial Sword.
However, it had only been a short time, not even a decade. Even if there was potential to become a Celestial Master, it would still take four or five decades.
Now, to become a Celestial Master so soon?
"Celestial Master."
Tian Shi Sect's leader, Azure Daoist Cangqing, looked up towards the sky, gazing at the figure walking on the sea of clouds. As the distance closed, he could clearly see the face of this figure, and it turned out to be Zhang Shanfeng, whom he had once given up on.
"Could it be that I was wrong? Is it possible to reach the level of a Celestial Master by walking the path of both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, entering the realm of the Celestial Master?"
Azure Daoist Cangqing's thoughts were chaotic. It took several breaths before he calmed down.
It wasn't surprising that he reacted this way. Others just saw another Celestial Master emerging from the Tian Shi Sect. They couldn't fathom which path this Celestial Master had walked a path that combined both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, an unprecedented and unique route.
If Lin Yuan had not become a Celestial Master, it would have been acceptable.
But if he indeed achieved the position of a Celestial Master by mastering both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, he would be the strongest Celestial Master in the 6,800-year history of the Tian Shi Sect, surpassing even the founder of the Tian Shi Sect.
While it was widely acknowledged that comprehending the profound truths of the heavens and the earth would elevate one to a divine level, only a few could truly understand these truths. The same held for the paths of Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang conflicting forces that, when recklessly combined, could lead to spontaneous combustion.
Yet now, Azure Daoist Cangqing's face displayed disbelief, complexity, a bitter smile, excitement, and even a sense of relief.
He had almost... almost destroyed Lin Yuan and the entire Tian Shi Sect. If Lin Yuan hadn't insisted on his own beliefs, steadfastly choosing to walk the paths of both Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang instead of following the expected path by selecting either Yin or Yang, he would have become a relatively ordinary Celestial Master. He might have achieved that status only in his fifties or sixties, just like the past Celestial Masters, by which time the entire Tian Shi Sect would have been crushed by the demonic forces.
Azure Daoist Cangqing took a deep breath.
Regardless of everything, the Tian Shi Sect had produced another Celestial Master in its 500-year history.
And there was a high possibility that he was the strongest Celestial Master throughout the ages.
As for the consequences?
Did Azure Daoist Cangqing turn a blind eye? Even if he were asked to repent with his life, Azure Daoist Cangqing wouldn't hesitate. To see a Celestial Master of the Tian Shi Sect before his death was already worthwhile.
"Celestial Master?"
"Darn it, why is a Celestial Master emerging at this moment?"
The Lord of the Demon Sect felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. In recent decades, while accumulating strength, he had been secretly probing the Tian Shi Sect. It wasn't until he confirmed that the Tian Shi Sect had not produced a Celestial Master in this generation that he dared to gather demonic forces, preparing for a decisive battle.
Only when they surrounded the mountain did the Lord of the Demon Sect finally confirm that the Tian Shi Sect had no Celestial Master presiding over it.
Otherwise, with the invincible power of a Celestial Master, how could they have encircled Longhu Mountain?
However, the Lord of the Demon Sect never expected that, at the last moment, a Celestial Master would emerge from the Tian Shi Sect.
With the Lord of the Demon Sect's keen eyesight, he could naturally see that this Celestial Master had just broken through. Otherwise, even Azure Daoist Cangqing wouldn't have shown such a surprised and shocked expression.
The sea of clouds sank.
Lin Yuan landed on the ground, his eyes calm as he gazed at the Lord of the Demon Sect.
Swoosh! The True Martial Sword, inserted into the ground, soared once again. It spun around Lin Yuan before finally hovering at his side.
"Celestial Master."
A tremor ran through the Lord of the Demon Sect's heart.
"Go."
Without hesitation, the Lord of the Demon Sect immediately retreated. Although he still had many trump cards, including the strongest ones brought from the ancient demonic heritage.
If he had used these trump cards earlier, Azure Daoist Cangqing would have died long ago, and there wouldn't have been such a prolonged confrontation.
However, the Lord of the Demon Sect knew very well that, in front of a true Celestial Master, these trump cards were nothing more than a struggle for survival. At best, it would change from being killed with one palm to being killed with two or three palms. It might extend his life by a few breaths, but the outcome wouldn't change.
Therefore, the Lord of the Demon Sect naturally knew how to choose.
In fact, when the True Martial Sword appeared, the Lord of the Demon Sect vaguely guessed its connection with the Celestial Master. However, the reluctance in his heart made him decide to withdraw only after seeing Lin Yuan and confirming that he was indeed the Celestial Master.
Rumbling.
Suddenly, the Lord of the Demon Sect's figure exploded, transforming into six demonic shadows, fleeing in all directions.
This was a demonic technique for self-preservation. With the Lord of the Demon Sect's strength, even if he suddenly executed this technique, it wasn't certain that the Celestial Master could catch up.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had just broken through and had a limited mastery of the power at the Celestial Master level.
"Trying to escape?"
Lin Yuan smiled gently.
"Rise."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly. A massive circular area, centered around him, formed within a hundred to a thousand meters. The area was filled with the power of Infinite Yin and Infinite Yang, transforming into black and white, shaping into Yin-fish and Yang-fish, constantly merging, converting, and colliding.
Boom!!!
Within the range, the six demonic shadows silently shattered.
Only one remained, with a terrified expression the Lord of the Demon Sect.
"No!"
"What kind of method is this?"
"You are not the Celestial Master!!!"
The Lord of the Demon Sect struggled desperately. Dark flames vaguely ignited on his forehead as he tried to resist something. However, he turned to dust in the waves formed by the black-and-white forces.
For decades, the Lord of the Demon Sect, who had stirred countless storms in the world, leading the demonic forces to besiege Longhu Mountain.
Dead.
The scene fell into silence.
The strong figures from the Tian Shi Sect felt dizzy, as if they were dreaming.
Although they had speculated that the Celestial Master would sweep through the Demon Sect, witnessing this scene still stirred various emotions within them.
The Lord of the Demon Sect, who had exerted immense pressure on them, seemed like an ant on the roadside, easily crushed by a casual step in front of the Celestial Master.
In contrast to the myriad thoughts on the righteous side, the demonic side was simpler.
Fear, dread, panic, and trembling emotions overwhelmed each demonic leader's heart.
"Run!"
"The Tian Shi Sect has produced another Celestial Master. What are you still standing there for?"
"The Sect Master is dead. Run, or you'll die too."
The nine Vice Sect Masters and many Guardian Elders, all in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, panicked and distanced themselves from Longhu Mountain.
"Slay."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved again.
The Taiji Yin-Yang diagram suddenly expanded, then the True Martial Sword was drawn out, and Lin Yuan made a light slash.
Crackling.
When the sword light first flew out, it was only three feet in size, but it grew larger and heavier, becoming extremely sharp.
With just one slash, seven out of the nine Vice Sect Masters were cut into two, and the remaining demonic followers suffered casualties in the hundreds.
Lin Yuan slashed again.
Thousands of demonic followers lay dead, their bodies strewn across the ground, staining the earth with fresh blood.
