Chapter 1312: Chapter 442: The First Thing Upon Returning [Monthly Pass Requested]_2

Simultaneously, a shout echoed in mid-air.

"Bihai, damn your old mother!"

As soon as he spoke, the figure of the Ice and Fire Elder appeared at a great height, level with the Celestial Pillar Peak.

He slowly raised his right hand, and behind him emerged a golden sun phantom, illuminating the mountains and rivers for miles.

"Courting death!"

Upon seeing this, the Old Demon Bihai immediately formed a hand seal with his left hand.

Instantly, a vast azure ocean appeared in mid-air, and he stood on the sea surface, gently stomping his foot.

Immediately, a massive divine turtle hundreds of feet in size emerged beneath him.

He stood on the turtle’s shell, though gazing upwards, giving off an air of disdain.

"An ant dares to compete with the sun?!"

As the Ice and Fire Elder issued a resounding sound from the sky, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

At once, large fireballs, each the size of a human head, burst forth from the sun’s dharma aspect behind him and crashed down, plummeting into the azure ocean.

They created bursts of green mist.

A few drops of the azure water splashed onto the ground, instantly poisoning and turning the surrounding flora into charcoal.

As Ji Yuan used his Divine Sense to observe this scene, Tu Yue whispered beside him.

"Master, are they really Core Formation Cultivators? Why does it seem more intense than when Nascent Soul Cultivators fight?"

Ji Yuan replied expressionlessly:

"As you see, they’re merely brawling."

"Merely brawling?"

Tu Yue, half-comprehending, said, "You mean, they have no intention of killing each other?"

"Several Peak Core Formation Cultivators are vying for a Nascent Soul opportunity. The opportunity hasn’t even emerged yet. Who would truly fight to the death?" Ji Yuan retorted.

Tu Yue suddenly understood.

"So it’s just a lot of noise, but little action."

Ji Yuan ignored her, instead looking at the sky.

They’ve been fighting for so long, from dawn till nightfall... It won’t be long before the Cloud Sea vortex appears.

And indeed, as the sky darkened.

These Peak Core Formation Cultivators finally stopped probing; the Ice and Fire Elder roared out, raising his right hand high and suddenly swung it forward.

The sun’s dharma aspect behind him crashed down from the sky, colliding with the azure ocean.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

After several loud explosions, a surge of Spiritual Qi waves erupted in mid-air, forcibly separating the combatants.

The Ice and Fire Elder withdrew beside Luo Zheng, slightly panting.

Soon after, Chen Mo flew over as well, looking displeased at the damaged Golden Alms Bowl in his hand.

The Old Demon Bihai stood together with Miaolei Zhenren.

As they separated, the Cloud Sea mist, which the Ice and Fire Elder had burned away, reappeared from thin air.

At first, only a few wisps of cloud appeared in mid-air.

But after a few breaths, the clouds increased, moving like living beings, faster and more numerous by the moment.

Within a few breaths, patches of white clouds had formed in the sky.

And the clouds continued to multiply.

These clouds seemed to emerge from the void itself.

In the Mountain of Mind and Heart, where Ji Yuan had just been lying on a soft chair, he now stood up, and with a thought, appeared in the Stone Coffin underground.

He remained clad in Spirit Devouring Armor, with the Conical Hat on his head.

"Master, what do you think the treasure about to appear will be?"

Tu Yue asked curiously.

"Just watch."

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense always enveloped the Cloud Sea.

In just half a stick of incense’s time, the sky was again shrouded by the Cloud Sea.

Yet the vortex in the Cloud Sea’s center... still hadn’t appeared.

Adorned in a red dragon Magic Robe, the Ice and Fire Elder looked around, suddenly transforming into escape light, flying towards the Immortal Residence Pavilion atop Celestial Pillar Mountain.

"How bold!"

Miaolei Zhenren seemed prepared and, as soon as the Ice and Fire Elder moved, retrieved his Heavenly Thunder Hammer from behind.

He fiercely swung it towards the Ice and Fire Elder’s escape light.

"Boom——"

Thunder rolled beneath the Cloud Sea, a lightning bolt appeared from nowhere, striking the Ice and Fire Elder, forcing him back.

The Old Demon Bihai, hands gathered in his sleeves, sneered and said:

"Knowing you’re running out of life, you’re anxious, but no need to rush."

The Ice and Fire Elder glared grimly at the pair.

Without a word.

For although the words were harsh, they were true.

Among those present, the Ice and Fire Elder indeed had the shortest lifespan and needed this treasure the most.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked venturing into the Jiyuan Continent and hurried back upon hearing this news.

"Master, have you noticed that Luo Zheng has distanced himself from the others!"

Tu Yue said excitedly, as if discovering a new land.

"That’s normal."

Lying in the Stone Coffin, Ji Yuan had long noticed this, just as the Ice and Fire Elder’s current retreat wasn’t to their original location.

But at a distance from both Luo Zheng and Chen Mo.

The same was true for the opposing Old Demon Bihai and Master Miaolei; unknowingly, these Peak Core Formation Cultivators had already made their stances clear.

"It’s coming!"

Ji Yuan suddenly spoke.

After his words fell, a glimmer appeared above the Cloud Sea horizon.

Soon, this glimmer grew larger, and under its pulling, the clouds began to rotate slowly.
