Chapter 51 Contenders
After gathering enough spiritual herbs and fruits, Wen Tianren didn't linger any longer. He transformed into a purple rainbow and flew to the foot of a giant mountain that was thousands of feet high.
This mountain is tall and precipitous, entirely composed of massive, dark blue-green rocks. The entire mountain peak is bisected in the middle by a divine hand, the split extending all the way to the base of the mountain, forming a natural canyon.
But what's even stranger is that in the middle of the split mountain peak, red and blue lights are clearly distinct, each covering half of the giant mountain. From a distance, it looks extremely eerie!
At the entrance to the grand canyon below the mountain, more than thirty cultivators dressed in various styles sat quietly, each with a solemn expression, as if they were waiting for something.
Ji Yin and his group were also among them, but this time Han Li was also by Ji Yin's side.
Madam Wen found a place to sit alone. She recognized Han Li, who appeared next to Ji Yin, as the friend Wen Tianren had mentioned who possessed the Blood Jade Spider.
Seeing Ji Yin's sinister face turn into a kind and gentle teacher-like demeanor towards Han Li, he found it amusing and became even more convinced of Wen Tianren's words. It seemed that he really did have his eye on the Void Heaven Cauldron.
After arriving at this place, Wen Tianren did not find a corner to stay in as usual, but went straight to sit cross-legged not far from Madam Wen, with a calm demeanor.
Just as they sat down, a whooshing sound came from the distant sky, and Wan Tianming and two other Nascent Soul stage cultivators descended from the heavens.
After glancing at Ji Yin and the others, they sneered and gathered in another place, whispering amongst themselves, seemingly discussing some secret matter.
After a meal's time, five or six cultivators flew over one after another.
After waiting for another half hour, there was still no sign of the bearded man. This time, Wan Tianming and the others cast strange glances at Ji Yin, while Ji Yin and Qing Yi remained calm and composed.
Just as the righteous Wan Tianming and the others thought that Manhuzi was no longer coming and their gazes toward Ji Yin and the other two were becoming increasingly hostile, a sharp whistling sound that pierced through metal and stone came from beyond the sky.
The roar was like a raging torrent, each wave higher and fiercer than the last, shaking the eardrums of all the seated cultivators so much that they felt like they were going to burst, their minds trembling, and even the ground trembled slightly!
Upon hearing this voice, Ji Yin and Qing Yi both showed relaxed expressions and exchanged a knowing smile.
A golden sphere of light flashed across the distant horizon, hurtling towards the cultivators like a meteor from outer space, carrying immense power and arriving above them in the blink of an eye.
The cultivators in the arena who were witnessing the power of the "Heaven-Supporting Demon Art" for the first time, including Wen Tianren and Han Li, all showed expressions of shock.
Because the bearded man surrounded by golden light looked so bizarre, like a demon god, that it inspired fear in people.
At this moment, not only did his whole body radiate golden rays, but his bare hands, feet, and face were also covered with dense, coin-sized golden scales.
These scales were as bright as if they were made of pure gold, and they shimmered with a chilling light, making them appear incredibly sturdy and seemingly indestructible.
"As expected of the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art. Now that I have the Bright King Technique, if I add the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art and the Brahma Saint Fragment, I can obtain another great supernatural power. It seems I need to find an opportunity to get this Heaven-Supporting Demon Art from the Barbarian Beard." Wen Tianren secretly plotted.
"Is this the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art?" Han Li, who was seeing the Heaven-Supporting Demonic Art for the first time, couldn't help but gasp, seemingly quite shocked by the appearance of the bearded man.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Ji Yin coldly replied, "Hmph, it's nothing but a tortoise shell! The Profound Yin Great Art, when cultivated to its highest level, is no weaker than the Heaven-Supporting Demon Art. Disciple, after we leave the Void Heaven Palace, I will impart the entire Profound Yin Great Art to you. Don't disappoint me!"
Han Li outwardly agreed respectfully, but inwardly he sneered: "Hmph! You want to pass on your cultivation techniques to me? I'm afraid you'll kill me before I even leave this Void Heaven Palace and use me to refine corpse puppets."
At this moment, the bearded creature in the sky glanced down and immediately spotted Ji Yin and the others. Without hesitation, it plummeted down with a loud "boom," causing the nearby ground to tremble slightly.
The bearded man landed beside Ji Yin and the others, then his scales quickly disappeared, and the golden light dimmed and gradually vanished.
"Oh my, congratulations, Fellow Daoist Man! It seems your Heavenly Demon Art has improved again. I suppose you, Brother Man, are now capable of fighting alongside the Two Saints and the Six Paths." After a moment of surprise, Qingyi Jushi was the first to smile and say this.
"Haha, not at all."
The bearded man chuckled, about to say something more, but then his eyes widened and fixed on Han Li.
Then a strange look appeared on his face, and after a flash of strange light in his eyes, an astonishing aura suddenly burst forth.
Han Li, who was directly in the line of fire, instantly felt a tightness in his body, followed by a feeling in his limbs as if weighed down by a thousand pounds, rendering him completely immobile. Most horrifyingly, under the gaze of the other party, he felt as if he were facing a giant in human form.
Han Li's face turned deathly pale. Without hesitation, the Great Evolution Technique began to circulate automatically, instantly protecting his mind. At this moment, a trace of color returned to his face, and he felt that his body had returned to normal.
"Huh!"
This surprised the bearded man. But then a look of surprise appeared on his face. Just as he was about to make another move, the Yin Ancestor flashed and blocked Han Li's path.
"Brother Man, Brother Man, what do you mean by this? Please spare my disciple. After you've tempered him, he might not even have enough lives left," Ji Yin said obsequiously as he neutralized Man Hu Zi's imposing aura.
"Little apprentice? When did he become your apprentice?" The bearded man was taken aback at first, but then looked at Ji Yin with surprise.
"Ji Yin, you came to the Void Heaven Palace to take on disciples. Could it be that your precious grandson was killed, and you've gone mad, so you want to find another grandson to continue your family line? Hahaha." The bearded man mocked Ji Yin.
Despite being furious at the barbarian's mockery, Ji Yin didn't retaliate and maintained a smile on his face.
"Although he is only a nominal disciple and the formal apprenticeship ceremony has not yet been held, this young friend Han is now indeed a member of Jiyin Island. I hope Brother Man will show mercy!" Jiyin Patriarch looked at Man Huzi and said with a slight smile.
The bearded man blinked, stared at Ji Yin and Qing Yi for a while, then looked at Han Li and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good, very good. You have indeed taken a good disciple. Putting aside everything else, his spiritual sense is at least quite good."
"Ji Yin, I'm also a bit interested in him. Give him to me. Compared to your weak cultivation technique that only knows how to use tricks, this boy is more suitable to cultivate my Heaven-Supporting Demonic Technique!" The bearded man actually smiled and said these words, wanting to compete with Ji Yin to become Han Li's master.
"Brother Man, you jest. This boy has only just become a disciple of our sect. How could he possibly become a disciple of someone else? Hehehe!" Upon hearing this, Man Hu Zi startled Ji Yin and quickly refused.
