Chapter 985: Immortal Legacy Six Seals

Jian Fan said calmly, "Are you saying a Nascent Soul Fourth Layer versus a Nascent Soul Second Layer? The wager is merely your verbal promise, yet I need to offer the Enlightenment Divine Nail? If you want to seize it, just say so. There's no need for this pretense."

Reverend Chen Jing simply dropped the pretense. His eyes gleamed with malice. "So what if I'm seizing it? If I weren't considering that you're from the Azure Cloud Sect, why would I bother talking to you? Will you hand it over yourself, or shall I take action?"

As a disciple of the Venerable True Word, he still tried to maintain some semblance of dignity. But since Jian Fan and the Azure Cloud Sect were so tactless, he couldn't be blamed!

Jian Fan waved his hand, dismissing the Azure Cloud Sect members, and said, "Wouldn't it have been better to be direct from the start? Why stoop to calling me 'Master'? You must have gotten goosebumps just saying it, right?"

Reverend Chen Jing, already annoyed, grew even angrier upon hearing this. "I shouldn't have gotten involved with any of you! Especially you! When you're outside, never say you're my junior brother!"

Jian Fan replied indifferently, "You worry too much. I don't have such a disgraceful senior brother."

Reverend Chen Jing was completely enraged. With all four apertures fully open, his Nascent Soul power, several times stronger than Jian Fan's, erupted like a tsunami, condensing into a flickering talisman seal in his palm. "Let me see what makes you the first on the Ancient Road to Heaven, what makes you worthy of my Master's admiration, and what makes you capable of attracting the Immeasurable Blood Calamity! With one palm, I'll reveal your true form!"

How could Jian Fan be careless in the face of an attack from a Four-Aperture Nascent Soul? His left hand condensed unparalleled lightning power, while his right hand surged with Voidflow Lightning energy! Reverend Chen Jing had already witnessed his tribulation; if he recognized Voidflow Lightning, he would have done so already, so there was no longer a need to conceal it. He clapped his hands together. Blood-red Voidflow Lightning and pale lightning power erupted, forming a fifteen-thousand-zhang, blood-white battle sword that cleaved towards Reverend Chen Jing.

Reverend Chen Jing's pupils constricted. He remembered this strike clearly; Jian Fan had used this very sword to counter the Five-Aperture Nascent Soul attack of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. However, it was quickly crushed by the blood spear, so he hadn't considered this strike particularly powerful. But now, at close range, he was astonished to discover that this sword strike possessed the power of a Four-Aperture Nascent Soul! His heart pounded wildly, and he hastily unleashed the talisman seal from his palm. "Six Marks of the Immortal Remnants!"

The talisman seal in his palm flashed with dazzling golden light, transforming into a line of sky-obscuring characters that moved towards the descending Undying Blade. "Connect to the heavens and guide the sages, enter and govern the immortal palace."

The two immediately erupted in an incredibly fierce collision. Thunderous power exploded, the immortal sound of the talisman seal resonated, and its profound meaning spread. The remaining half of the Demon Emperor's Court instantly collapsed. The Azure Cloud Sect members, who had fled ten thousand zhang away, were also successively knocked off their feet by the violent shockwaves.

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets, the Slaveheart Demon Emperor, and Fairy Yunshang arrived one after another. As they gazed at the surging Nascent Soul power and dazzling arcs of light over the ruins of the Demon Emperor's Court, they felt an immense sense of insignificance. Before a Four-Aperture Nascent Soul's attack, they, with their One-Aperture Nascent Souls and demon emperor cultivation, were as tiny as dust. What truly shocked them was this: Jian Fan, having just entered the Nascent Soul realm, had directly withstood an attack from a Four-Aperture Nascent Soul!

Boom! The heavens and earth roared as the fifteen-thousand-zhang Undying Blade completely shattered the talisman seal, breaking it into countless golden lights that shot out in all directions. Jian Fan could not avoid it and was pushed back by several beams of golden light. Even the lingering power of the talisman seal was astonishingly strong. He used the Heaven-Monitoring Precious Mirror to deflect most of the force, but was still rattled, feeling a coppery taste in his throat. Reverend Chen Jing, however, was hit by the remaining golden light and the Undying Blade. His body trembled, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Jian Fan, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't even defeat a junior who had just entered the Nascent Soul realm? And he was even at a disadvantage!

Jian Fan suppressed the surging qi and blood in his chest and said coldly, "The disciple taught by Venerable True Word isn't all that impressive. Can't even manage to seize something properly! Perhaps I should teach you instead!" He took out the Golden Buddha, and Voidflow Lightning energy once again surged from his palm.

Seeing the Golden Buddha, Reverend Chen Jing's eyelids twitched violently. "The protective Golden Buddha from White Horse Temple? No wonder you were able to withstand the blood spear's strike earlier!" His eyes flickered. Jian Fan's attack with the power of a Four-Aperture Nascent Soul was already threatening enough. With a protective Golden Buddha on top of that, he was even more helpless. On the contrary, he might even be severely wounded by Jian Fan! With the reputation of the Venerable True Word, Jian Fan might not dare to kill him, but how shameful would it be to return to Taicang Great State heavily injured? He immediately withdrew his Nascent Soul power and coldly snorted, "Keep that half-nail as your treasure then. With just your power and that of the Azure Cloud Sect, you'll never find the other half!"

Seeing him withdraw his power, Jian Fan also withdrew his. In fact, he only had that one strike left, as his thunder core was depleted. "Then you don't need to trouble yourself. If there's nothing else, then leave. You're not welcome here," Jian Fan said bluntly.

Reverend Chen Jing said indifferently, "I also need to find my sister. Her name is Nangong Xiaoyun. Call her over."

Nangong Xiaoyun was actually Reverend Chen Jing's sister? Jian Fan recalled the Ascending Dragon Path in Solitary Boat City, where the genius ranked above Yun Tianzhou was someone named Nangong Liuyun. Could Reverend Chen Jing be Nangong Liuyun? He shook his head and said, "I will not allow her to go with you."

Abandoning the Azure Cloud Sect merely showed Reverend Chen Jing's ruthlessness. There were many similar people in the world. But to abandon his own sister on the continent for eight years, showing no concern? To what extent must one be heartless and ungrateful to treat one's own sister like that? What good could come of Nangong Xiaoyun going back with such a person? Therefore, Jian Fan made this decision for Nangong Xiaoyun.

"Don't go too far!" Reverend Chen Jing roared angrily. "I'm taking my own sister; what right do you have to interfere?"

The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets arrived, bringing You Yunzi and Nangong Xiaoyun. Nangong Xiaoyun recognized Reverend Chen Jing at a glance, but her eyes remained calm, without a ripple, as she said, "Why take me away? Don't bother yourself. I'm doing quite well in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

If Nangong Liuyun had written even one letter in the past eight years, she might still have acknowledged him as her brother. Alas, there wasn't a single word. She had been raised by You Yunzi as his granddaughter all these years, and she no longer felt any familial affection for Nangong Liuyun.

Reverend Chen Jing looked at the petite, exquisite, and beautiful young woman, whom he could barely recognize, and said happily, "Of course, I'm taking you back to Taicang to cultivate the strongest martial arts with the best resources. With me protecting you, I guarantee you'll achieve the Nascent Soul Great Dao in the future."

Although Nangong Xiaoyun was willful and mischievous, her mind had always been sharp. A relative who hadn't contacted you for eight years suddenly returns, claiming they'll take you to the city to make a fortune. Isn't that just a plan to sell her? She came to Jian Fan's side and said, "I'll follow Senior Jian's arrangements."

Jian Fan glanced at her, thinking the girl was clever enough not to disappoint him. If she had foolishly followed Reverend Chen Jing, Jian Fan would have been spitting blood in anger. Jian Fan said calmly, "Did you hear that? Your sister asked me to take care of her."
