Mysterious mirror hanging high

Qi Liyan sighed upon hearing this, "That's not necessary. Since the Supreme Lord sent the three of us into the Cave Heaven for the trial, besides the fact that we three have the highest cultivation among the Five Mountains Peak Masters, he might also have some intentions of cultivating each of us."

"Brother Qi, what you said doesn't make any sense." Xiao Guanyue shook his head. "We all understand what the Supreme is thinking. The position of the Divine Transformation will definitely come to you first. After all, he is surnamed Qi. The Supreme has never avoided others over the years. Why should Brother Qi make amends for him?"

Qi Liyan was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Everything about the Supreme is good, except that he is somewhat selfish towards the Qi family... If I achieve Divine Transformation in the future and take over the Songfeng Five Mountains, I will find a way to provide non-family disciples with a path to ascend and reunite the hearts of the Five Mountains."

Yang Dingfeng's eyes were gloomy. He just lowered his head and said nothing more.

An old man in bright yellow robes and a tall crown was staring coldly at the three people on the reef.

When a cultivator reaches the realm of transformation of the spirit, his Nascent Soul's Dharma image is fully mature. Even if the Nascent Soul leaves the body, his appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person. The old man in bright yellow robes hiding at the bottom of the sea is none other than the God of Transformation [Ying Shigui], the Lord of the Divine Cauldron who has abandoned his mortal body and secretly sneaked into [Weiyang Heaven]!

"Hiss... That green-robed scholar has a very strong foundation. His cultivation level is the highest among the three. I'm afraid he's the Divine Transformation Seed that some Ascension sect is so eager to acquire."

"That woman in the ramie robe...why do I smell the blood of the Penglai Xiao family? Hmph, so she's a descendant of Xiao Buyi..."

"And that sickly fellow... He seems to have merged with the Dao and Demonic Path, but his foundation in the Dao of Immortality is in tatters. It seems he's just a consumable who's been forcing his cultivation up by relying on overdraft elixirs."

"Three great True Lords of the late Nascent Soul stage... hehe, if we leave them all here, I'm sure their sects will be in great pain."

Undercurrents surged in the seabed. A cold light flashed in Ying Shigui's eyes. He suddenly made a gesture with his five fingers in his sleeves, and his spiritual energy began to boil.

In an instant, the sky above the sea changed color, and the vast spiritual power condensed from the void and turned into a five-clawed real dragon that was a hundred feet long.

The real dragon's scales were eerie, its eyes were like lightning, its claws tore through space, and it rushed straight towards Qi Liyan on the island reef with the pressure of the laws of the God of Transformation!

"careful!"

Xiao Guanyue was the first to notice something was amiss and shouted a warning, but it was too late. A five-clawed dragon was already three feet above Qi Liyan's head, and the golden light spewing from its mouth illuminated the entire island like daylight.

At the critical moment, an ancient scroll in Qi Liyan's arms suddenly unfolded - it was the [Green Pine Picture] personally refined by Qi Tianhua, the Supreme God of Songfeng Pavilion!

In the picture, thousands of pine patterns intertwine, transforming into a green pine tree with dense branches and leaves that stretches across in front of Qi Liyan.

The dragon's sharp claws collided with the pine needles, causing a deafening roar, and the violent spiritual power aftermath evaporated the surrounding sea water into mist.

However, Ying Shigui had planned this attack for a long time. After a moment of stalemate, the five-clawed real dragon actually tore through the defense of Qingsongtu, and the remaining dragon energy penetrated Qi Liyan's chest fiercely!

"Puff—" Qi Liyan spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with visceral fragments, and his body flew backwards hundreds of feet, slamming heavily into the sea. Although Qingsong blocked 80% to 90% of the power, the power of the divine transformation Tianjun's law still penetrated his meridians, causing his Nascent Soul to wither and his vitality to drop sharply.

"Brother Qi!" Xiao Guanyue's eyes were bloodshot, and the guqin in his hand rang out. A wave of sound like a blade slashed towards Ying Shigui's hiding place. Yang Dingfeng summoned a chessboard magic weapon, covering the entire sea area, trying to force the enemy out.

Ying Shigui sneered as he slowly rose from the seabed, his bright yellow robes rustling in the waves. "A life-saving gift from the God of Transformation? What a pity! A mere Nascent Soul can't even unleash even one percent of this treasure's power. Otherwise, I would have had no choice but to flee."

Not long after, Qi Liyan, who was out of breath, returned to the air, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely embarrassed. He looked at Ying Shigui in disbelief, with a look of surprise and doubt:

"Isn't this the Nascent Soul Trial Cave Heaven? Is it forbidden to enter the Divine Transformation Realm? Why would a Divine Transformation cultivator appear here?"

"He's not a Divine Transformation cultivator, but a fake one... If he were a true Divine Transformation cultivator, Senior Brother Qi would have been killed by that sudden sneak attack just now." Xiao Guanyue was, after all, a descendant of the Xiao family and had the highest social status. She was the first to see through Ying Shigui's true identity and said in a deep voice:

"This person is a remnant of the Divine Cauldron!"

"You little bastard surnamed Xiao, you're looking for death!" Ying Shigui was furious. He prided himself on having talent and ability that was no less than any other god-transforming celestial monarch in the world, but he could only hide in the cave, refining the laws of the cave and becoming a pseudo-god... This was the pain of his life.

Moreover, the person who made the remarks was Xiao Guanyue, a noble descendant of the Xiao family. Back then, when Penglai Tianjun had not yet ascended to heaven, he had suppressed the Shending Xian Dynasty the most severely, which made Ying Shigui's murderous intent even more intense!

"The Divine Cauldron's incarnation has appeared here. [Weiyang Heaven] is a conspiracy of the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty!" Yang Dingfeng's expression darkened. "We must spread this news and gather fellow Nascent Soul Daoists from all the sects in the world!"

"Hey, it's no use."

Ying Shigui laughed heartily and said, "Weiyang Heaven is isolated from the outside world. The trial lasted for several years, and entry is allowed but exit is not. When the trial is about to end, it will open again... You will have no way of passing the news to the outside world."

"There will only be more and more Nascent Souls entering the Cave Heaven, and the Nascent Souls within the Cave Heaven... are all my prey!"

"Escape separately!"

Yang Dingfeng shouted in a low voice, and the three of them worked in perfect harmony and broke out in three directions.

"If I let any one of you three go, how can I still be called a Divine Transformation Cultivator?"

Ying Shigui was just about to use his great magical powers to completely seal off this place, but he saw the seriously injured Qi Liyan suddenly shook out another scroll, which turned out to be a [Five Immortals Picture].

This [Five Immortals Picture] depicts five monks, one holding a zither, one holding a chess piece, one holding a scroll, and one holding a paintbrush. The one in the middle is dressed like a Confucian scholar in a green robe and a high hat... It is none other than the current master of the Songfeng Five Mountains!

The next moment, the figures of the Five Peak Masters jumped out from the scroll. Each of them was in the late Nascent Soul stage. Five great True Lords in the late Nascent Soul stage immediately surrounded Ying Shigui.

"What a powerful [Law of Painting]..."

Ying Shigui's expression was solemn. "If a Divine Transformation cultivator activated this scroll, these five people would probably have to have the combat power of a pseudo-Divine Transformation cultivator... Fortunately, that young man's cultivation is not good. He is still at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he has the Divine Transformation skills, he can't compete with a Divine Transformation cultivator."

Although Ying Shigui was fundamentally different from the Nascent Soul cultivators, he was not a true God Transformation cultivator after all. These five late Nascent Soul cultivators condensed by the [Law of Painting] really delayed him for a cup of tea.

When Ying Shigui tore the five Mo people into pieces, Qi Liyan and the other two had already escaped and disappeared without a trace.

"Hmph, never mind... No matter where these Nascent Souls go, they will eventually have to go to the center of the cave heaven [Weiyang Palace] to undergo trials. Not a single one can escape..."

Ying Shigui smiled sinisterly and also flew away from here to hunt other Yuanying Zhenjun.
