Chapter 67 The Traitor
For ordinary cultivators, immortals are never seen in the world, and the ancient emperors are already the strongest beings in their knowledge.
The word "Great Emperor" carries immense weight. Every Great Emperor throughout history has been invincible, shining brightly in the long river of history for countless years without fading.
Since ancient times, emperors have never met each other, because only one person in the world can attain the Dao and become an emperor in any era.
However, if we were to compare all the great emperors in history, Emperor Wushi would undoubtedly be one of the strongest among them.
This is a consensus among all monks.
The reason is simple: this emperor's life was just too legendary.
Before becoming emperor, he could catch the supreme imperial weapon of Zhongzhou with his bare hands, and he never suffered a defeat in his life.
Other emperors, in their youth, had encountered formidable enemies and fought fierce battles, requiring them to fight bloody battles.
Emperor Wushi has always swept aside his opponents without battling any fierce battles or facing formidable rivals.
At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glimpse of the Beginningless One reveals the emptiness of all paths! This is the highest praise people can give him.
Now, this inconspicuous place, Zishan, is actually the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi. How can this not be exciting?
Countless cultivators flocked to the vicinity of Purple Mountain as if on a pilgrimage, all hoping to obtain the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi.
Not to mention those rogue cultivators, even ancient families like the Jiang and Ji families, who also possess the inheritance of the Great Emperor, couldn't sit still.
They immediately dispatched powerful figures to Zishan, attempting to seize the initiative.
The holy sites followed suit and immediately sent people to follow.
For a time, Purple Mountain became the center of the entire Northern Region, attracting countless powerful individuals.
Countless cultivators discussed it day and night, with the topic revolving entirely around Purple Mountain and the Great Emperor Wushi.
"Hey, have you heard? It's said that the body of the Great Emperor Wushi is in Zishan. Someone broke in and saw it with their own eyes."
"What's so special about that? I've also heard that there's an elixir of immortality inside Purple Mountain!"
"Your information is outdated! According to the latest news, there are even ancient creatures in Zishan!"
No matter how turbulent things are in Zishan, it has nothing to do with Hua Yunfei anymore.
At this moment, he looked at the white-clad figure approaching him, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Junior Sister Xiaoman, is there something you need?"
Li Xiaoman, dressed in flowing white, with her beautiful face, appeared exceptionally ethereal in the sunlight.
Upon hearing Hua Yunfei speak, Li Xiaoman's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly; she naturally sensed the distance in Hua Yunfei's words.
However, she was very well-mannered and never easily showed it on her face; upon hearing this, she simply smiled faintly.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask Senior Brother Hua some questions about cultivation. If it's inconvenient for you, I won't bother you any longer."
This is Li Xiaoman. She speaks with great tact and never gets entangled in things that are impossible to accomplish, which makes her easy to like.
But Hua Yunfei knew his background and was not fooled by his appearance.
He nodded upon hearing this and walked away amidst Li Xiaoman's astonished gaze.
As he descended Xingfeng today, he saw Li Xiaoman coming towards him. It was as if they met by chance, or as if she had been waiting for him there.
Hua Yunfei knew what he was thinking; he simply wanted to get close to him and gain a higher position in the Tai Xuan Sect.
Therefore, Hua Yunfei immediately shut her up as soon as she opened her mouth, as he had no time to deal with this woman for the time being.
After leaving Tai Xuan Gate, Hua Yunfei headed west and arrived at a vast, misty lake.
This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Tai Xuan Sect. He came here to undergo his tribulation.
After emerging from the Azure Dragon King's small world, he had already broken through to the third level of the Four Extremes Heaven, but at that time he had a backup plan and suppressed it.
After several days of preparation since returning to the Tai Xuan Sect, he is finally facing this tribulation today.
"boom!"
Without warning, a bolt from the blue sky was completely engulfed by lightning. Just moments ago, the boundless blue sky was now completely filled with thunder.
A dense barrage of lightning bolts struck down, their immense length covering the void for tens of miles.
A whole sea of lightning crashed down, and a large amount of lake water was instantly evaporated.
Crimson, blue, purple...
Various kinds of lightning appeared one after another, as if they were about to smash Hua Yunfei to pieces.
Hua Yunfei looked solemn; each of his tribulations was more terrifying than the last.
Heaven and Earth seemed to sense his anger. His cultivation of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, a technique that was against the harmony of Heaven and Earth, appeared to have incurred their hatred. Heavenly punishment, far exceeding the level he was in, descended to destroy him.
At first, there were only colorful lightning bolts of various colors, but later, Five Elements Divine Lightning, Yin Yang Divine Lightning, and Seven-Colored Divine Lightning all appeared.
Hua Yunfei struggled fiercely against the sea of lightning, as powerful heavenly tribulations descended time and again.
Even someone as strong as Hua Yunfei was struggling to withstand the strain; within moments, he was covered in blood, and in some places, his bones were even exposed.
A full hour later, the heavenly tribulation finally subsided. Hua Yunfei inhaled and exhaled lightning, absorbing the essence from all directions to replenish his own losses.
Finally, the heavenly tribulation ended completely. Hua Yunfei changed into clean clothes, spotless, and stood in the void, like a banished immortal descending to earth.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a large hand appeared without warning, and Hua Yunfei was about to be grabbed and refined in an instant.
Just at this critical moment, a figure in white appeared in front of Hua Yunfei. Without any visible movement, the outstretched hand shattered instantly.
At the same time, a muffled groan came from afar, seemingly quite surprised.
The God King Jiang Taixu reached out and summoned a man in hemp clothing from the void, who instantly appeared before them.
"Who are you...?" The man in hemp clothing was shocked. He was a powerful figure, yet the person in front of him grabbed him as easily as a chick.
He was completely bound and unable to move, staring at the God-King in terror.
"Grandmaster?!" Hua Yunfei's expression was complicated. Even though he had guessed it before, it was still hard to accept when the truth came to light.
The powerful figure before us is named Ma Shan, one of the Supreme Elders of the Tai Xuan Sect. He has lived for over two thousand years and is a pivotal figure in the Tai Xuan Sect.
He also has another identity: the master of the Star Peak Master. In other words, this person is a true grandmaster-level figure to Hua Yunfei.
Ma Shan had always doted on Hua Yunfei since childhood, praising him for leading the Tai Xuan Sect to great prosperity and standing proudly above the entire ancient star! Now, it seems somewhat ironic.
At this moment, Ma Shan, who was imprisoned in the void, abandoned his usual gentle demeanor and glared fiercely at Hua Yunfei, saying, "So, you deliberately lured me here!"
Hua Yunfei looked at Ma Shan with great doubt in his eyes. Ma Shan was a native of the Tai Xuan Sect.
Logically speaking, such a person would have a strong sense of sect honor and would never follow others to harm the geniuses in their own sect.
But that's exactly what Ma Shan did.
"I do not understand!"
"Why are you joining forces with others to deal with me? It's as if they're the only legitimate ones in this Tai Xuan Sect!"
Faced with Hua Yunfei's question, Ma Shan snorted coldly and said, "Every man for himself, and I just want to live a few more years. What's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Taixu shook his head, not deigning to say anything more to such a person given his status.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfei said, "So, the Ruthless Clan gave you the life-extending elixir, and you agreed to help them cover up Feng Xu's whereabouts at the Tai Xuan Sect?"
"The Ruthless Lineage? What Ruthless Lineage? Isn't Feng Xu from the Yao Guang Holy Land?" Ma Shan was taken aback upon hearing this, somewhat confused.
Hua Yunfei shook his head. It seemed that Ma Shan and the other traitors were also kept in the dark and had no idea of Feng Xu and the others' true identities.
Having successfully identified the mole, Hua Yunfei was somewhat disheartened by the outcome.
