Chapter 1173: Tiger Roar Martial Arts Hall Renewed

"Hah, young people are just too naive; they fall for such simple provocations!" Ninefold Immortal laughed heartily, looking up at the sky. How could Yunzhi be his match now that she had willingly given up Siming, her most convenient weapon?

"Boundless Mountains and Rivers, Alternating Sun and Moon!" Above Ninefold Immortal's head, a magnificent vista appeared. It contained mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, all incredibly lifelike, with the sun and moon hanging high, signifying the passage of time. To an observer, it would merely appear as a segment of space cut from the Central Continent. However, upon contact, one would realize it was an endless grand world, created by Ninefold Immortal using immortal fire and profound ice. Any touch would unleash endless primordial energy as yin and yang clashed and coalesced. This technique was one of his trump cards, but he hadn't dared to use it while fighting Siming, fearing that Siming would enlighten this boundless grand world. Fighting against Yunzhi, who was unarmed, meant he had no such concerns.

Finally, Siming, now a bystander, recognized the power of this move. If it struck the ground, the Far North would transform into a dual realm of ice and fire. How would Yunzhi respond?

"Cloud Falling Palm." A soft, fluffy large hand, like a cloud plucked from the horizon, gripped the Immortal Fire Profound Ice Grand World. Explosions echoed within the cloud hand, which was dyed in varying colors by the immortal fire and profound ice, shifting constantly like a spilled dye vat. A tiny fraction of the explosion leaked through its fingers, blasting straight through the Far North, down to the world's deepest layer. One could only imagine the true terrifying power of the Immortal Fire Profound Ice Grand World's explosion. But apart from that, no other explosive force escaped.

Ninefold Immortal's expression changed dramatically upon seeing this. He couldn't comprehend how Yunzhi's combat power had increased after she stopped using Siming as a weapon.

"Cloud Falling Palm.""Ninefold Heavenly Ice Shield!" Facing the second Cloud Falling Palm, Ninefold Immortal immediately constructed an absolute defense with profound ice. Nine layers of ice shields stacked together, forming the strongest defensive technique he could deploy. A delightful cracking sound resonated, like instruments accompanying the battle. Layer after layer of ice shields were shattered, ice shards clattering to the ground. Ninefold Immortal, along with the ice shards, was embedded in the snow by that palm!

Ninefold Immortal painstakingly crawled out of the ice-hole, only to see a third palm strike follow immediately. "Here, take your body back!" The belligerent persona, not daring to face Yunzhi directly, instantly returned control of the body to Ninefold Immortal.

"Who told you to give it back to me now?!" Ninefold Immortal exclaimed in a panic. He had willingly relinquished control of his body. Just who was this Yunzhi, and how had Ying Tianxian managed to exchange even two blows with her!?

"Why are you so difficult? I said I'd give it to you, so I did!""I told you I don't want it!" The belligerent persona and Ninefold Immortal shoved each other, deferring control of the body back and forth.

As the Cloud Falling Palm descended, the world fell silent. Siming swallowed hard. No wonder the Emperor ran when he saw Yunzhi; if he had been a step slower before, both of them would likely have been left behind by Yunzhi.

"Cloud Falling...""Stop, stop! It's me!" Seeing Yunzhi about to strike again, Ninefold Immortal quickly raised his hands in surrender, terrified.

"Are you back to normal?""I suppose so," Ninefold Immortal said cautiously, observing Yunzhi's expression. "The belligerent persona and I have an agreement; he won't come out without my permission.""That's good."

Lu Yang flew above Muxue City to watch the battle. At the beginning of the fight, Yunzhi had kicked Ninefold Immortal too far away for Lu Yang to see their specific exchange. He could only make out clouds descending in the distant horizon, as if the sky was collapsing. Soon after, Yunzhi, carrying Siming and accompanied by Ninefold Immortal, returned to Muxue City.

"How was the fight?" Ying Tianxian enthusiastically approached, asking despite already knowing. Ninefold Immortal glared at Ying Tianxian.

Yunzhi landed with a frown. When she had flown off, the commotion had been too great, turning the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy into ruins. Only its two main gates remained intact, currently with Huo Huashen.

"I'll fix it, I'll fix it!" With Ninefold Immortal's permission, the belligerent persona eagerly stepped forward to atone for the damage. Yunzhi silently watched the belligerent persona, making him incredibly anxious. Only when Yunzhi uttered a simple "Good" did he feel immense relief.

"Let me see what material this martial arts academy is made of... Are the doors made of ten-thousand-year coiled dragon wood?" The belligerent Ninefold Immortal paused, surprised that this martial arts academy used such high-quality doors. Other parts had been shattered by Daoist Yunzhi, even the spiritual essence within the heavenly materials and earthly treasures had been dispersed by the shock, making it impossible to determine their original composition. But if the doors were ten-thousand-year coiled dragon wood, then the other parts must have been made of materials of comparable value, right?

Over the past three hundred thousand years, the Snow Emperor had gone through six generations, accumulating countless treasures. Ninefold Immortal retrieved various precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Snow Emperor's blank white jade tablet and began constructing the academy with a clang and clatter. Ying Tianxian meticulously listed the construction process: Divine Lightning Wood for beams, Xirang soil fired into tiles, five-colored earth refined into bricks... Soon, the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy had its main gates reinstalled, restored to its original state.

Meanwhile, arcs of electricity continuously flickered around Ying Tianxian. Ying Tianxian departed gracefully, saying, "The time for this thunder tribulation clone is almost up, Ninefold Immortal! Let's catch up another time!"

"Alright." Both the belligerent persona and Ninefold Immortal responded simultaneously.

"You undo the Absolute Zero Domain, and you restore the Far North," Yunzhi instructed. It wasn't difficult for Siming to revert the Far North from its star-like appearance back to its original form. Having witnessed Yunzhi's strength, both Ninefold Immortal and Siming were very obedient. Soon, the Absolute Zero Domain vanished, and the stars suspended in the sky gradually expanded into the shape of a continent. However, this process was very slow, imperceptible to anyone.

The residents of Muxue City wore bewildered expressions. Moments ago, an incredible battle had erupted in the sky, yet in the blink of an eye, both combatants had vanished?

"Was I dreaming?""No way, we couldn't all be dreaming the same thing.""Then what do you think happened?""I don't know."

The Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy was bustling, and everyone's expressions varied. Grandpa Murong gazed in shock at Ninefold Immortal and Siming, who had appeared in the martial arts academy. Weren't these two just fighting to the death moments ago? Why had they both come to their academy? Huo Huashen first wondered who had taken his doors, then noticed the presence of Ninefold Immortal and Siming, showing the same stunned expression as Grandpa Murong. Young Master Meng, seeing his senior sister here, felt no surprise at the presence of Ninefold Immortal and Siming. The Snow Emperor, meanwhile, wore the expression of an elderly person in retirement.

"Little Xue, thank you for accompanying me for the past eighty thousand years. However, I no longer have a reason to remain within the white jade tablet." With the issues of the Immortal of Silence and the dual personalities resolved, Ninefold Immortal had no further worries. "From now on, there will be no need for a Snow Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Xue Shilou wore the expression of a young person who had just lost his job. He had finally awakened his bloodline, passed three trials, and become the Snow Emperor's successor. How could the Snow Emperor just disappear?

Grandpa Murong noticed the martial arts academy's roof. He distinctly remembered a hole being blasted through it when the battle erupted, but now it was gone. And the martial arts academy itself. "I just have a feeling the academy isn't the same as before."
