Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 716 - 715: Immortal Emperor Level Powerhouse

Under the rapid flight of the Purple Cloud Sculpture, Xu Ping’an and his companions soon arrived at the so-called Purple Cloud Mountain.

Even from a great distance, Xu Ping’an could see that gigantic peak soaring into the clouds.

The entire mountain was shrouded in layers of mist, its true face obscured.

These mists were mixed with a lot of purple qi, looking like clusters of purple clouds swirling around.

However, faintly, Xu Ping’an could still make out the powerful Dao Laws patterns spreading across the summit of this purple mountain.

The whole mountain exuded an immensely strong Dao Laws pressure, and for ordinary cultivators, let alone getting close to this mountain peak.

Even looking directly at this kind of mountain would give one the feeling that their eyes were about to explode.

Below the Ninth Rank, I’m afraid it would be impossible to approach Purple Cloud Mountain within ten miles.

This demonstrates how terrifying the mountain must be to possess such might.

"This is Purple Cloud Mountain, such a terrifying pressure. We are now about twenty miles from Purple Cloud Mountain, but the pressure feels no less than facing an Immortal Emperor Realm, even stronger. I really wonder how horrifying the pressure would be at the foot of this mountain," Gongsun Yao said with a face full of astonishment.

"It is rumored that Purple Cloud Mountain is the manifestation of the will of heaven, representing the will of the heavens. Not to mention us, even Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors would have to pay their respects if they came here. It is even said that in ancient times, some divine beings also came here, but in the end, none could approach Purple Cloud Mountain," Yu Xianlan said.

Xu Ping’an remained silent, but he knew that what Yu Xianlan said was not an exaggeration at all.

In his previous life, when he had reached the peak of Immortal Emperor, he had come to this place once but was simply unable to get close.

So, the pressure of Purple Cloud Mountain was truly terrifying.

"This time, a path has appeared on Purple Cloud Mountain, something unprecedented. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to explore the truth behind Purple Cloud Mountain," Xu Ping’an said.

"Yes, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; no one knows when such a chance will appear again," Yu Xianlan said.

"Then there must be many people this time. There might even be strong practitioners at the Immortal Emperor Realm," Gongsun Yao said gravely.

"Indeed many, just from the Immortal Hall side, it is said that both the Three Pavilions and the Six Halls have sent people, and both Jade Immortal Sect and Myriad Demons Sect have dispatched people as well," said Yu Xianlan gravely.

"So that means Xing Feng will also come, as well as those two from Jade Immortal Sect and Myriad Demons Sect," Gongsun Yao noted seriously.

"Yes, they will definitely come. Purple Cloud Mountain holds extraordinary significance, and they will not miss this opportunity," Yu Xianlan stated.

Gongsun Yao nodded in agreement, "If those two come, it won’t be so easy to seize any opportunity that might present itself."

Yu Xianlan nodded her head.

"Who are you two talking about?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

Yu Xianlan, aware that Xu Ping’an knew little about the Jade Immortal Realm, explained, "You should have already met Xing Feng from our Immortal Hall; he is ranked eighteenth on the genius list, and his strength is terrifying."

Xu Ping’an nodded, acknowledging that Xing Feng’s strength was indeed formidable.

Even now, he would not dare to say for certain that he could defeat him.

"Actually, both Jade Immortal Sect and Myriad Demons Sect each have an even more terrifying genius. The one from Jade Immortal Sect is ranked fourteenth on the genius list, Qi Xuanbo, whose cultivation has reached the Eleventh Rank Fifth Layer Realm. His combat power is almost comparable to an Eleventh Rank Peak, and he’s even close to a demi-emperor," Yu Xianlan said.

"A demi-emperor?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

The fourteenth on the genius list actually possessed demi-emperor level power?

Then those in the top ten must be even more formidable?

"Actually, Qin Yuan from Myriad Demons Sect is even more fearsome. He’s ranked eleventh on the genius list, with a cultivation that has reached the Eleventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm, a genuine demi-emperor in strength," Gongsun Yao elaborated.

The eleventh on the genius list?

Xu Ping’an’s heart became slightly heavy.

It appeared that to reach the top ten of the genius list, one must at least possess the combat power of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

No wonder it was said that those who could get into the top ten of the genius list were all exceptional and transcendent geniuses.

"Qi Xuanbo, Qin Yuan, are these two considered the most heaven-defying talents in the Jade Immortal Realm?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, they, along with Xing Feng, are known as the three unparalleled geniuses of the Jade Immortal Realm, the true talents of the younger generation," Yu Xianlan stated.

"Are there really hidden sect talents from Ancient Times in the top ten of the Talent rankings?" Xu Ping’an inquired.

"There are, but not many, only one or two are from the hidden sects of Ancient Times. The majority of the ancient sects are still in a state of seclusion, and even if they have disciples who are geniuses, they have not announced them to the outside world," Yu Xianlan explained.

Xu Ping’an understood.

So it seems, aside from the talents listed in the Talent rankings.

There are still extremely heaven-defying youths from some ancient sects who have yet to make an appearance.

Once they do, the rankings of the strong ones on the Talent list will have to change.

"Xu Ping’an, you are actually quite amazing already. Once you prove your Dao, you will definitely enter the top twenty of the Talent rankings," said Yu Xianlan reassuringly.

Xu Ping’an smiled and said nothing.

Top twenty?

His current strength was more than enough to get him into the top twenty.

However, his goal from the beginning was not the top twenty, but the first place.

"By the way, what Dao Laws have you comprehended? When do you plan to prove your Dao?" Gongsun Yao asked curiously.

"That...," Xu Ping’an was about to make up an excuse.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the front.

A terrifying wave of energy, like a storm, charged towards Xu Ping’an and the others.

The impact was huge. Even though the Purple Cloud Sculpture withstood most of the force, Xu Ping’an and the others were still nearly blown away by the power.

"Is this an Immortal Emperor Level battle?" Yu Xianlan said in surprise.

"Definitely Immortal Emperor Level, and very strong at that. Could it be the people from the Jade Immortal Sect and the Myriad Demons Sect?" Gongsun Yao also expressed her astonishment.

"The battle is coming from that valley ahead. Let’s go down and take a look from the ground," Yu Xianlan responded.

The Purple Cloud Sculpture immediately obeyed, landing on the ground and transforming into a middle-aged man in a purple robe.

Xu Ping’an and the others directly headed for the valley in front.

Upon reaching the valley, they indeed saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe holding an Immortal Sword fighting against an old man in black battle armor.

Both individuals were quite strong, obviously on the Immortal Emperor Level, and the energy fluctuations from their battle spread like a hurricane, continuously sweeping through the woods.

The trees and rocks in the forest burst apart, and in just a moment, the inside of the forest had become unrecognizable.

This was still the result of the two deliberately restraining their power; otherwise, this place would have been leveled by them.

"It’s the Qingyun Sword Emperor from the Jade Immortal Sect and the Blackheart Old Devil from the Myriad Demons Sect. They’ve held a grudge against each other from the beginning, so it’s normal for them to fight upon meeting," Yu Xianlan stated.

"I didn’t expect them to be the ones who came this time. The Qingyun Sword Emperor is a powerhouse at the Peak of the Twelfth Rank Sixth Layer Realm, and this Blackheart Old Devil is not weak either; he must have also broken through to the Twelfth Rank Sixth Layer Realm," Gongsun Yao commented.

"These two guys?" Xu Ping’an raised his eyebrows.

He was actually not unfamiliar with these two people.

In his past life, he had clashed with them both.

He just didn’t expect to encounter them again now.
