The Nine Cauldrons

Teng Qingshan did not have the time to think why Pei San suddenly attacked him. This was because Pei San’s palm was already slashing toward him.

Clang!

Teng Qingshan used the Reincarnation Spear to defend the blow but he felt an unmatchable power passing through the spear. The power then launched him into the air, flying diagonally. Even as he was flying away, Pei San’s attacks continued fiercely. Suddenly, Teng Qingshan’s pupils dilated as he shouted, “Crap!” He thrust his Reincarnation Spear into the corner of the training room, causing an enormous hole in the wall of the training room. By doing that, Teng Qingshan was able to return to his upright position before he ascended a few Zhang above ground.

Swoosh!

Pei San also rushed upwards.

“Father!”

“Sovereign Pei San, what are you doing?” shouted Li Jun anxiously. Hongwu, who stood at the side, was also very worried.

While Teng Qingshan was in mid-air and was just about to ask a question, Pei San smirked and a glint of craziness shone in his eyes. The madness revealed through his eyes was like that of a wild beast. “Roar!” The roar of a bear sounded from nowhere. Simultaneously, a virtual image of a bear emerged from Pei San’s body.

“Sovereign Pei…” Teng Qingshan was about to speak as Pei San grinned and said, “Prepare to defend the second move!”

Immediately, Pei San raised his right palm. He was like a clumsy bear lifting its paw. However, Teng Qingshan could feel this suffocating pressure. The feeling was similar to the feeling he experienced when he faced the Honorable Bear of Emperor Yu’s Hall. The enlarged golden-colored palm instantly pushed the Power of the Heavens and Earth in the surrounding far away.

It was this one palm!

It was just a clumsy-looking palm!

“Hmph, I want to see how strong you are.” Teng Qingshan thought to himself. He gritted his teeth as he began spinning the Reincarnation Spear. As the Reincarnation Spear revolved, the five-colored light in his body slowly followed the swirling motion and entered the spear. For a moment, the Reincarnation Spear looked spectacular and the five-colored rays continued spinning. A blue light shone on the tip of the spear. Instantly, it was like the spear that moved the oceans in the roaring waves.

Since the time Teng Qingshan achieved a small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm, this was the first time Teng Qingshan attacked with full power.

The palm and the Reincarnation Spear clashed!

“Bang!”

Teng Qingshan felt a sense of suffocation and heard a humming sound in his ears. It was as though thunders exploded in his ears. “Pfft!” Teng Qingshan could not control himself as he vomited blood and was knocked far away at a rapid speed.

…

Li Jun and Hongwu, who were in the East Flowering Park below, saw two lights colliding with each other!

One was a light ray of five colors and the other was a faint grey light.

One collision!

The powerful shockwave sent the air rippling away like waves, spreading to every corner. Because of this powerful shockwave, the Power of the Heaven and Earth that belonged to the Land of the Nine Prefecture was disrupted. At this moment, the Undying Phoenix and the Six Legged Bladelike Chi had soared to the midair and tried to stop this powerful shockwave together at the same time.

“Whew~~” Endless flames was unleashed from the wings of the Undying Phoenix, transforming the sky above the East Flower Garden into a sea of fire.

This flame managed to stop the terrifying shockwave.

The East Flower Garden and Xing Yi Sect were safe from this shockwave. However, because this shockwave was spreading to every direction, it reached the Great Yan Mountain and created havoc, pulverizing a large number of trees and rocks. The shockwave had removed everything in the radius of one Li.

“Father!”

“Qingshan.”

Li Jun and Hongwu clearly saw the blood that Teng Qingshan had spat out.

“Yu!” After the Undying Phoenix stopped the shockwave, it screamed and rushed towards Teng Qingshan and Pei San.

******

Since Teng Qingshan reached the Emptiness Realm, he had encountered many opponents, but none of those opponents were a lot stronger than him. Therefore, Teng Qingshan never experienced having a huge gap in power between him and his opponents! However, he finally understood the feeling of being inferior and being at a disadvantage. Pei San’s palm was able to unleash a power great enough to kill You Shijin even when You Shijin was wearing the Hong Tian Godly Armor. The power that Pei San possessed was terrifying!

“So powerful!” Teng Qingshan said to himself. “Why is he so much more powerful than me?”

Pei San’s first attack had already made Teng Qingshan spit out blood. Blood flowed out from his ears as well.

If the first attack was just to warn Teng Qingshan, asking him to get into the battle mode, the second attack was a revelation of Pei San’s true power!

“Take the third attack!” A loud voice sounded in his ears.

Suddenly, Pei San, who had a beastly aura, began displaying a different aura. It was as though he had transformed into an enlightened monk. His entire being hovered in mid-air and he smiled as he approached Teng Qingshan. The smile on his face had an eerie charm that seemed to affect one psychologically. The smile showed such charm that it would be difficult to look away. As Pei San approached, he formed his hands in a prayer gesture and placed his hands before his chest.

Suddenly, he flipped his right palm and pushed forward in the direction that Teng Qingshan was located. It was as though he had slammed down a huge stamp.

“Hong!”

The palm contained Sanskritit mantra. As Teng Qingshan faced this palm, he felt that the sky above him turned black. It was as though this palm had covered the entire sky. This power was invincible and uncomparable. It sent chills down Teng Qingshan’s spine and left him trembling in fear. At the same time, Teng Qingshan could hear the mumbling words of countless monks.

“I can’t take this attack!”

Immediately, Teng Qingshan transformed into a colorful light ray and dodged away at lightspeed.

“Yu!” At the same time, the Undying Phoenix glided nearby and Teng Qingshan landed on the back of the Undying Phoenix.

After unleashing this destructive attack, Pei San flipped his hands and withdrew his hands. When Teng Qingshan saw this, his expression changed drastically. “Pei San is even more powerful than I think he is…” The more powerful a move, the harder it is to withdrew. For example, if an ordinary person swung a sword that weighed only a few Jin, the movement could be stopped easily.

However, if he was swinging a sword that weighed a few hundred Jin, once he swung it… He would not be able to stop it even if he really wanted to do so.

If Teng Qingshan used his ultimate technique, the Five Elemental Toxic Dragon Drill, with his full force, he would not be able to withdrew his movements easily. However, Pei San was able to withdrew his palms easily.

“That attack is not his most powerful move.” Teng Qingshan finally understood the current situation.

Initially, Teng Qingshan thought that he would be able to fight Pei San for some time as he had reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm. He might still lose, but this fight would buy him some time. However, he was surprised that he could not even put up a fight against Pei San.

“An expert at the culmination stage of the Insightful Emptiness Realm is much stronger than someone who had only made small achievements in the Insightful Emptiness Realm.” After the brief realization, Teng Qingshan felt motivated. He thought to himself, “All powerful experts started weak! Pei San cultivated many more years than me. When I understand the Three Postures and when I reached the culmination of the Insightful Emptiness Realm, I will be strong enough to fight him.”

Teng Qingshan stared at Pei San and a smile, which was rarely seen, gradually crept up his face.

With blood dripping down his ears and the corner of his mouth, he started laughing. As Pei San saw this, he shook his head and begin laughing as well. “This brat…” Pei San couldn’t help but say to himself.

…

And so, Teng Qingshan, the Undying Phoenix, Pei San, the Godly Thunderbolt Hawk, and the Six Legged Bladelike CHi all returned to the East Flower Garden.

“Qingshan, are you alright?” Li Jun looked very concern as she asked.

“I am fine,” smiled Teng Qingshan.

After Teng Qingshan tried to intercept the second attack, he became wounded. Fortunately, his “perfect” body could easily control the injuries. With the Power of his World, the injuries healed very quickly.

“Sovereign Pei, why did you attack me suddenly?” Teng Qingshan asked with a frown. All the experts who have reached Insightful Emptiness Realm have similar maximum speed. Teng Qingshan could easily flee and Pei San would not be able to catch him.

If Pei San really wanted to kill Teng Qingshan… He would first lure the Undying Phoenix away or wait for a time when Teng Qingshan was not with the Undying Phoenix. Then, he should only kill Teng Qingshan when it is certain that Teng Qingshan cannot escape.

“Well, the reason is really nothing significant,” Pei San smiled at Teng Qingshan, “I was just surprised that you had reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm and even made small achievements in this Insightful Emptiness Realm. And so, I attacked you because I wanted to see how powerful you are.” Pei San had no intention of killing Teng Qingshan. If he had wanted to kill Teng Qingshan, he would first devise a very careful plan.

Teng Qingshan forced a helpless smile.

However, this fight made Teng Qingshan realize that he should remain humble as there’s still a long way to go in this path of cultivation.

“Why are you here for?” Teng Qingshan asked curiously.

“Look.”

Pei San took out a paper and threw it over.

Teng Qingshan took the paper. As soon as he read it, a shocked expression showed on his face. He understood that Pei San did not come to kill him. After all, with the presence of the Undying Phoenix, it was simply impossible for Pei San to take his life. Teng Qingshan looked at Pei San as he asked, “Sovereign Pei, who wants me dead?”

“Don’t you know who hates you?” Pei San responded with a question

Teng Qingshan suddenly recalled something and said, “Is it the golden-masked Emptiness Realm Expert named Jin Sheng?”

“Yes, that’s the one,” nodded Pei San.

“Jin Sheng?” Li Jun’s expression changed, “Qingshan, it’s that person again?”

“Look at this.”

Teng Qingshan passed the paper over. If there was one person that Teng Qingshan and Li Jun wanted to kill, it would be Jin Sheng, the foreign elder of the Barbarian Tribe whom they suspected to be Gu Yong.

“He is stirring up trouble again!” Anger showed on Li Jun’s face as she spoke.

She hated this man deeply!

This man had attempted to murder her daughter and son and tried to destroy Xing Yi Sect. Now, he has taken action to kill Teng Qingshan. Li Jun could not tolerate all these things that the man had been doing.

“Sovereign, what is the purpose of your visit?” Teng Qingshan asked

“I don’t want to kill you.” Pei San said with a smile, “However, I really want the stone tablet left by the Omnipotent Expert. However, this stone tablet is currently in Jin Sheng’s hands. He is not in the Barbarian Tribe Temple, so it would be very difficult to take the stone tablet from him by force. Teng Qingshan, you probably want to kill him as well… Do you understand what I am trying to say here?”

Teng Qingshan recalled something and burst out laughing. He then asked, “Sovereign Pei, when are you leaving?”

Pei San’s smile grew even brighter. “There is no time to lose. It’s best if we go now.”

“Alright!”

“I was not able to find that guy when I went to the Barbarian Tribe Temple. Since he is there now, I will go with you. I want to see the face hiding under that mask.” The killing intent grew even stronger. The mysterious golden-masked man was Teng Qingshan’s biggest concern!

Teng Qingshan would never be at peace if he didn’t get rid of the golden-masked man.

The forces of the Barbarian Tribe Temple was powerful. However, since Pei San is going to take the stone tablet of the Omnipotent Expert, Teng Qingshan naturally would not mind going.

“Little Jun, I am going to pay a visit to the Barbarian Tribe Temple and solve this issue.” Teng Qingshan turned his head and said.

“Mhmm, be careful,” instructed Li Jun.

Teng Qingshan smiled and summoned the Undying Phoenix.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Teng Qingshan and Pei San hopped onto the Undying Phoenix and Godly Thunderbolt Hawk. Transforming into a streak of fiery light and flash of electricity, they vanished into the southern horizon.
