Chapter 714: The Heritage of the Asked Dao Sect

"Tribulation Transcendence Stage?" Daoist Hanhai misjudged Gu Xie's cultivation stage the moment their battle began.

Without revealing their nascent Dao Fruit, even a Half-Immortal would struggle to discern if an opponent was in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage or a Half-Immortal.

"How dare you cause trouble at Wen Dao Sect? You must have a death wish!" Though Daoist Hanhai had long ignored the outside world, he was still aware of the cultivators currently in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Gu Xie was not among the Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators he was familiar with.

The answer was obvious: Gu Xie was an ancient cultivator!

"Are you Daoist Wanfa, Gu Mo?" Daoist Hanhai remembered the Eternal Immortal Body Gu Xie exhibited. The most famous Eternal Immortal Body was that of Gu Mo, a cultivation genius from the early Great Yu period, known as Daoist Wanfa!

"You have some discernment," Gu Xie sneered. His opponent was merely at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, no match for him!

"Attack!" Gu Xie commanded. His trusted followers shed their disguises, revealing their true cultivation stage: Tribulation Transcendence!

Three cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage had been hidden among the crowd!

Seeing the unfavorable situation, River Spirit waved his hand. Countless water bubbles rose from the river, encasing the mortals participating in the third trial and the disciples organizing it. He swiftly sent them deep inside Wen Dao Sect to ensure their safety.

"Why are there suddenly so many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators?" Dai Bufan was astonished. And who was the person fighting Daoist Wanfa?

"Senior Brother Dai, this matter has nothing to do with us," Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou quickly clarified, asserting their innocence. They had been well-behaved throughout the entire trial.

"...Do either of you know who is fighting Daoist Wanfa?"

"Yes, we know him. He is Daoist Hanhai."

"That senior is still alive?!" Dai Bufan was greatly surprised; he had thought Daoist Hanhai had perished long ago.

"Wait, does that mean Senior Sister Yun, who appeared as a heart demon in the second round, belonged to Senior Hanhai?" Dai Bufan had assumed it was Gu Junye's heart demon.

Lu Yang nodded.

"He is Daoist Wanfa?" Innate Daoist was stunned and looked at Gu Junye.

So who was Gu Junye?

Gu Junye's expression was solemn as he watched the grand spectacle of intertwining spiritual power in the bamboo forest. He had not yet recovered his cultivation and was unable to participate in a battle of this caliber.

"I can't believe the Three Corpses I severed to transcend tribulation and become an immortal are still alive!"

River Spirit mobilized the power of the grand formation to contend with the three Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from the Great Yu Alliance.

Under the formation's enhancement, he was equivalent to one Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, making it overwhelming to fight three opponents of the same level.

"Senior River Spirit, we are here to help you!"

Two elderly figures appeared, blocking the three Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. They were the child-like Patriarch Tang Shengyi and Elder Tao from the Scripture Pavilion.

Sensing the battle in the bamboo forest, they immediately joined the fray.

"Oh, who would have thought Wen Dao Sect had so many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, truly well-hidden!" The three Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence cultivators sneered. Wen Dao Sect's strength exceeded their expectations, but it wouldn't decisively sway the battle.

After all, the Great Yu Alliance had more than just the three of them.

Suddenly, several powerful auras surged skyward from outside Wen Dao Sect, causing the child-like Patriarch's expression to change.

The enemy had two more hidden Tribulation Transcendence cultivators!

No, not just Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, but also over twenty Integration Stage cultivators!

They had come out in full force!

Five Tribulation Transcendence cultivators and over twenty Integration Stage cultivators lined up in two rows, their combined aura momentarily overwhelming Wen Dao Sect's side.

"How dare you attack our Wen Dao Sect! You're courting death!" Streaks of light flashed across the sky, appearing on the battlefield.

"Master, we are here." The Grand Elder led seven elders to the bamboo forest. Accompanying them were the owner of the Commercial Street, the owner of the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, the deputy head of the Mission Hall, Dai Bufan, Ji Hongwen, and others...

All of Wen Dao Sect's Integration Stage cultivators had arrived!

"They are just Integration Stage cultivators; they can't stir up any waves!" The cultivators from the Great Yu Alliance laughed arrogantly. Their side had a full five Tribulation Transcendence cultivators!

One of the Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence cultivators brazenly struck, extending a dark hand towards the Grand Elder. The dark hand transformed into a demonic claw made of smoke, and anyone it touched would turn into a thick liquid!

The Grand Elder threw a brick-like object, striking the demonic claw. Its owner cried out in pain and abruptly withdrew his claw.

The owner of the demonic claw saw what had hit him: a greenish-blue porcelain pillow.

It was the immortal treasure, the Yellow Millet Pillow. Originally held by Immortal Fairy, it later became a treasured artifact of the Immortal Cult. Masters Liu and Gao had used the Yellow Millet Pillow to attack Wen Dao Sect, but they were captured, and the Yellow Millet Pillow became the Grand Elder's magical artifact.

"What, are you afraid to fight me?" The Grand Elder sneered, holding the Yellow Millet Pillow.

His strength was similar to that of Daoist Buyu, both being Half-step Tribulation Transcendence. With the Yellow Millet Pillow's enhancement, he possessed the power to contend with a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator!

"It's just one extra Tribulation Transcendence combatant!"

The Great Yu side remained unafraid.

"One extra?" The Third Elder, clad in iron armor, stepped through the air and stood in line with the Grand Elder.

He fiercely threw a punch, its gale-force wind scattering the Great Yu's Integration Stage cultivators. Even the Great Yu's Tribulation Transcendence cultivators felt immense pressure and had to adopt defensive stances!

This punch was comparable to a Tribulation Transcendence Stage body cultivator's!

The iron armor was rusty and stained with blackened blood, appearing to be the most common type of armor on a battlefield. Yet, anyone who knew its origin would not underestimate it!

This was the armor worn by Revered Heavenly Lord Guiyuan during his campaigns at the end of the Great Yu era. It was covered in the blood of his enemies, all of whom were Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. An Integration Stage cultivator wearing this armor could rival a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator!

All five great immortal sects possessed means to rival Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, and Wen Dao Sect's method was this very armor!

"Now, the combat power is even!"

The child-like Patriarch chuckled softly as a large, yellow bell descended from the sky. Mysterious and unpredictable chaotic runes encircled its body. In an instant, the bell emitted a deep, resonant hum, its sound waves spreading like ripples, causing the entire space to tremble slightly.

"The Chaos-Suppressing Bell!" The Tribulation Transcendence cultivators on the Great Yu side recognized the origin of the large yellow bell.

During his time as sect master, the child-like Patriarch was a formidable power in the cultivation world, rarely encountering an opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to contain Daoist Buyu and others.

His personal magical artifact, the Chaos-Suppressing Bell, was equally renowned in the cultivation world. Countless famous cultivators had fallen under its resounding power.

"Kill!" The child-like Patriarch's expression hardened as he roared. The bell chimed again, and the two sides clashed fiercely!

Daoist Hanhai and Daoist Wanfa's battle was taking place at a higher altitude.

"Eye of the Azure Heaven!" An eye appeared in the sky, from which a black light shot forth, catching Daoist Wanfa off guard.

At that moment, time suddenly slowed, giving Daoist Wanfa enough time to react and deftly dodge the black light.

"Immortal Fairy, can you discern Daoist Wanfa's nascent Dao Fruit?"

"Hmm, since he possesses the Eternal Immortal Body and just slowed down time, it should be the nascent Eternal Dao Fruit."
