It did not take long before the two of them crossed several regions, arriving in a stretch of desert. Throughout the entire process, Fang Xingjian had no intention at all of hiding the mystical cloud under his feet, allowing this cloud that was emitting golden light to fly past the heads of countless people.
Within a short period of time, many stories of flying deities were spread around several regions in Middle-earth.
After leaving the frontiers and arriving in the desert, Fang Xingjian followed Fu Daoxian’s directions and arrived above a stretch of mountain range after many turns.
The mountain range appeared pitch-black from afar, like a black dragon that lay in prostrate on the ground, giving off a savage and violent feeling.
This was the Illusory Emotions Path’s headquarters—the Serene Mountain. The land within a range of 1,000 lis, with the Serene Mountain at the center and several tens of tribes living there, was all within the Illusory Emotions Path’s control.
Almost at the instant when the golden mystical cloud arrived above the Serene Mountain, someone from the Illusory Emotions Path discovered the abnormality in the air. It was because Fang Xingjian had no intention of hiding at all and let the mystical cloud brazenly emit golden light. He descended toward a manor at the very peak of the Serene Mountain. It was the Illusory Emotions Path’s headquarters.
Just as Fang Xingjian landed in a training ground, countless black shadows darted out. Many cultivators dressed in black training clothes, who had strong physical bodies and great physical strength, darted out.
Within Fang Xingjian’s sight, there were over 1,000 experts at the Xiantian Realm, as well as several tens of Disha Realm cultivators. Clearly, these people were all elites in the Illusory Emotions Path’s headquarters.
However, even though they were the Illusory Emotions Path’s elites, they still looked at Fang Xingjian with anxious and doubtful gazes. No one dared to act recklessly. It was because the scene of Fang Xingjian descending while riding on a cloud was simply too unbelievable.
However, an Elder from the Illusory Emotions Path quickly recognized Fu Daoxian who was beside Fang Xingjian. The Elder frowned and said, “Xian`er, what’s going on? Who is this person next to you? Why did you bring him to the headquarters?”
Fu Daoxian quickly said, “Elder Li, this is the current Emperor. He has come to the Serene Mountain because he has something to discuss with Master.”
Elder Li’s gaze narrowed slightly, glancing at Fang Xingjian from top to bottom. There seemed to countless schemes flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Naturally, Elder Li knew about this Great Jin Dynasty’s Emperor. Previously, the Illusory Emotions Path had wanted to use him as a puppet, holding him hostage so that they could command the feudal vassals. They wanted to take his place and control the world, rejuvenating the Demon Sect from the Divine Capital.
At the instant he heard Fu Daoxian’s reply, countless thoughts flashed past in his mind. He could not wait to give the command to seize the Emperor.
However, upon thinking about Fang Xingjian’s mean of riding on a cloud to arrive here… in addition to Fu Daoxian’s strange attitude, he suppressed this thought for now.
Just then, Fu Daoxian sent him a message through essential Qis, “Elder, this person has reached the Tiangang Realm. Quickly get Master to come and deal with him.”
Elder Li’s countenance changed. He nodded respectfully and said, “Since Your Majesty has graced us with your presence, please wait a moment. I’ll get the Sect Master here.”
After saying that, he left without even turning back, leaving many disciples staring at Fang Xingjian and Fu Daoxian, as if preventing the two of them from escaping.
After ten or so minutes, Elder Li rushed back hurriedly to the training ground. “The Sect Master will be arriving very soon. Your Majesty, please wait.”
Fang Xingjian nodded and placed his hands behind his back, not saying a word.
At the next moment, a Qi field suddenly came from afar, encompassing the entire mountain peak in an instant. To be able to cover such an astonishing area… This displayed the other party’s extremely deep internal arts cultivation.
All the disciples situated in the Qi field could feel a heavy pressure on their hearts, especially that evil and brutal aura contained within the Qi field. It almost made them mentally unable to summon any will to resist.
That feeling was as if a ferocious beast were using its tongue to slowly lick their necks, and its sharp teeth would pierce through their windpipes.
It also felt like what a person would feel if they were facing an impending tsunami, watching as the several-hundred-meter-tall waves inched closer toward them. An immense pressure pressed down on their nerves, making their bodies unable to move.
This Qi field did not just bring about a mental pressure but also a pressure onto their essential Qis.
All the cultivators who had been encompassed by the Qi field felt that they had lost control over their essential Qis. Regardless of whether it was the essential Qis within or outside their bodies, it was as if they were like rabbits that had encountered a ferocious beast, shrinking back into the cultivators’ Dantians. No matter how much these people tried to move them, they were unable to succeed.
“A Tiangang Realm Qi field.”
“The Sect Master is here.”
Elder Li also sensed that the essential Qi in his body had shrunk back into his Dantian uncontrollably, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
“Qi field suppression… It’s the Illusory Demonic Rotation!”
Hearing Elder Li’s words, the many disciples of the Illusory Emotions Path revealed agitated expressions. It was as if something amazing had happened.
Fang Xingjian frowned slightly and asked Fu Daoxian, “What’s the Illusory Demonic Rotation?”
Fu Daoxian seemed to become a little agitated as well. When she saw Fang Xingjian’s cold gaze, she seemed to not be as terrified as before. She said, “The Illusory Demonic Rotation is the highest level ultimate technique in our Illusory Emotions Path. In the course of history, only four sect masters have successfully mastered it. Master is the fifth person to succeed in it.
“This great technique has the amazing ability rotating life and death, flipping yin and yang. It’s the greatest means of circulating essential Qi in the world, doing everything possible to change things.
“Within the Illusory Demonic Rotation, those who are weak won’t be able to control their essential Qis. Even top-notch experts will be at risk of losing control and entering a state of frenzy while circulating their essential Qis. Any palm or leg techniques or even blade attacks would lose 99% of their prowess… ”
While Fu Daoxian was introducing the Illusory Demonic Rotation’s origin, a lady dressed in black satin had arrived in the training ground. She stood out in the training ground, and none of the many Demon Sect’s disciples detected how she had arrived.
The lady had a cold expression, and there seemed to be black Qi circulating around her face constantly, making it hard for others to see her face clearly.
Right now, the Qi field that encompassed the entire training ground was coming from her body. She also gave off a demonic disposition, as if she were not human but a demon that had escaped from hell.
At the sight of the lady’s appearance, Elder Li immediately asked agitatedly, “Sect Master, have you succeeded in mastering the Illusory Demonic Rotation?”
“That’s right. This seclusion has been rewarding, and I’ve finally succeeded in learning our sect’s greatest technique.” As she spoke, her cold gaze landed on Fang Xingjian, and the overwhelming Qi field started seething like tidal waves. The Demon Sect’s disciples in the surroundings immediately felt that they could circulate their essential Qi again.
“You’re Fang Xuan?” The woman looked at Fang Xingjian and said coldly.
Fu Daoxian spoke up, “Master, this is the Emperor, another Tiangang Realm expert in the royal family after Senior Fang Youwei.”
“Tiangang Realm?” The lady’s brows furrowed like she was trying to sense something.
However, at the next moment, she let out a cold laugh and said in contempt, “He hasn’t reached the Tiangang Realm.”
When she said this, a commotion broke out immediately.
