Chapter 558: Triad Technique Unification

Rumble—

Outside the Mountain Moving Sect, Yan Chongzhang supported his master and trembled, "Master, what's going on here?"

Earlier, Situ Junrui stood still, and Shen Daoyou had beheaded him. This was already an extremely bizarre situation.

However, before he could even process the shock in his heart, he witnessed the majestic Landscape Scroll engulfing Shen Daoyou.

The disparity in cultivation realms had reached such a point that Yan Chongzhang didn't even have the ability to discern who had the upper hand.

"The Boundless Dao Emperor Sect's inherited Dao Law is truly bizarre."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master quickly raised his right arm, and where his wrist should have been crushed when his sword was taken, there wasn't even a trace of injury at this moment.

Yan Chongzhang also noticed this detail, "Those ethereal shadows just now, were they restraining your divine soul?"

"If it's a technique solely targeting the divine soul, how could it break through the Clan Defense Array?"

The Mountain Moving Sect Master's expression was weary. The Boundless Dao Emperor Palace was indeed worthy of its reputation. Over tens of thousands of years, countless geniuses had already deduced countless methods based on this Dao Palace, making it unpredictable.

Vague and elusive, it was impossible to guard against.

"Aside from the profound cultivation realm, the Boundless Dao Emperor Palace also gave them the advantage of initiative. By the time you realize what methods they're using, you've already suffered a huge loss... If they were to fight within that Dao Palace, they would be like fish in water."

"Then what should we do now?" Yan Chongzhang suddenly panicked, feeling more and more like Situ Junrui had intentionally set a trap to lure Shen Daoyou in.

"Let's tear it open and take a look."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master clenched his palm again, and the sturdy saber fell into his hand. He directed his gaze towards the majestic Landscape Scroll in the sky, shimmering with golden light.

The next moment, the old man suddenly leaped up.

As he raised the long saber, an invisible colossal force seemed to stir, causing the surrounding Azure Sea to roll up in an instant, like a towering waterfall connecting to the sky. The nearby mountains collapsed instantly, and the sky-obscuring rocks and soil hung in the air before shattering with a boom.

Even the residual might carried such momentum, yet the saber that had gathered the old man's aura remained ordinary.

But his wrist holding the saber trembled, as if he had raised not a saber but the entire Mountain Moving Sect, making it a struggle.

In the face of this saber, the majestic Landscape Scroll suddenly trembled.

"..."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master's face changed slightly. At this moment, Situ Junrui's thoughts were not on himself, and he was indeed confident that he could slash a massive opening in the Landscape Scroll.

However, the scroll's reaction at this moment indeed had nothing to do with him; instead, it was changing from within.

The next moment, the old man seemed to sense something, his pupils constricting as he abruptly halted his movement.

In his eyes, a red glow appeared.

In an instant, it was as if a blood-red cloud filled the sky, carrying a rolling, sinister demon aura that swiftly covered the entire Landscape Scroll, quickly tainting the golden brilliance of the ten-thousand-mile landscape.

Boom!

Under the pressure of this majestic demon aura, the Mountain Moving Sect Master was thrown out, falling back outside the sect in disarray. The mighty saber force also dissipated.

"Master!"

Yan Chongzhang hurriedly rushed forward, but the Mountain Moving Sect Master firmly stopped his disciple from approaching, his tone filled with apprehension, "Don't come over here!"

At this moment, not only Yan Chongzhang but even he, a fellow cultivator at the Dao Fusion Realm, couldn't understand the current situation.

After all... how could two cultivators battling create such a massive demon aura?

With the backdrop of the blood-red Landscape Scroll, even the entire sky seemed to turn faintly red, making one feel that in the next moment, a ferocious demon would appear and devour all the living beings within the Mountain Moving Sect, which had been torn open.

The next moment, the curled-up Landscape Scroll finally slowly unfurled.

Revealed within was the Dao Emperor Palace, also shrouded in demon clouds.

The master and disciple didn't see the imagined ferocious demon, but only a figure in an ink-colored robe standing with hands clasped in front of the grand hall, while Situ Junrui had disappeared without a trace.

The outcome was already clear.

Shen Yi casually waved his sleeve, sending the tortured and unconscious Yang Yunheng back into the Mountain Moving Sect.

Then, he stepped out of the grand hall, and the entire Landscape Scroll rolled up and vanished into the sky. However, as it rolled up, it also swept in the few anxious Boundless Dao Emperor Sect disciples who had been waiting, leaving behind only a few faint, barely discernible wails.

"Hmm?"

The Mountain Moving Sect Master watched the youth falling from the sky, his lips trembling slightly, "You, you, you... him, him, him..."

If he hadn't misseen, the Landscape Scroll seemed to have been controlled by Shen Xiaoyou. He couldn't understand Bei Hong's methods, but now even Nan Hong's methods seemed so bizarre.

Seizing another's Dao Palace! What kind of demonic and profound method was this?!

Shen Yi glanced at the towering mountain, now in disarray, and then at the dim palm print. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke softly, "Sorry."

He hadn't expected that after he intentionally left a jade slip, the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect would not seek out the true culprit but instead, without investigating right from wrong or presenting evidence, they intended to involve the sizable Mountain Moving Sect in their annihilation.

To be honest, the Mountain Moving Sect had absolutely nothing to do with this matter.

If you think about it, it was only when Pan Boyang tried to forcefully take Crystal Phoenix that Yan Daoshi slightly spoke up to dissuade him, and that was it. Even when he killed Pan Boyang earlier, he used the Heavenly Transformation Nine-Nine to keep this Daoist in place and didn't even let him get a glimpse of the situation.

As for covering for himself...

Don't forget, the Mountain Moving Sect is not a subordinate of the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect, and there is no hierarchical relationship between the two. Where is the obligation to report to them?

The Boundless Dao Emperor Sect's straightforward and decisive actions gave Shen Yi a new understanding of Northern Hong.

"What kind of apology are you talking about..."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears, sighing deeply, "If it weren't for Shen Xiaoyou's intervention today, my Mountain Moving Sect would have been doomed long ago."

The elder didn't feel that Shen Yi owed them anything. If it were someone else, not only would they not have left a jade slip to help the Mountain Moving Sect clear their suspicions, but they might have even directly thrown this blame onto the Mountain Moving Sect, which is a common occurrence.

After all, not to mention others, even they themselves didn't know Shen Xiaoyou's specific identity, at most they knew that he had come with the Southern Flood Daoist.

After Shen Xiaoyou threw the blame, wanting to extricate himself from this matter was as easy as it could be.

"Hiss!"

Hearing his master's words, Yan Chongzhang suddenly reacted, having been dazed before, and immediately looked at Shen Yi, his face showing a look of shock and fear.

Don't forget... when this person first came to Western Hong, he even exchanged a few moves with Crystal Phoenix, and later with Pan Boyang, it was the same. Now, Situ Junrui's fate was not much different.

From White Jade Capital to Dao Fusion Perfection, he resolved everyone with just a few moves?!

The Mountain Moving Sect Master understood his disciple's thoughts and slightly extended his hand to push him back. Now was not the time to be entangled with this issue.

The elder looked at Shen Yi with trepidation, "Situ Junrui... is he already dead?"

If he had perished here, then Hongze would have no power or rules to restrict the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect from entering Western Hong en masse to avenge their branch sect master.

"Not yet."

Shen Yi shook his head. He had intended to kill him, otherwise he wouldn't have beheaded him, but in the previous hall, he had discovered something very interesting.

When he achieved Divine Transformation, he had taken an incomplete version of the Boundless Dao Imperial Palace from the Scripture Pavilion and forcefully condensed it. At that time, he discovered that aside from the Dao Palace itself, the surroundings were empty, as if many things were missing.

Only now did he understand that the missing part was precisely the Landscape Scroll.

Earlier in the hall, Shen Yi had heard tens of thousands of chanting voices, which, although annoying, also suddenly gave him a deeper understanding of the Landscape Scroll.

The act of turning the meditation cushion into a throne was actually somewhat similar to squatting in a magpie's nest.

Using his Demon Imperial Palace, he forcefully replaced Situ Junrui's Dao Emperor Palace, then suppressed it within the Demon Imperial Palace, thereby controlling the entire Landscape Scroll...

"No wonder."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master let out a bitter laugh, for he had actually guessed a little from the previous changes in the Landscape Scroll. At this moment, his feelings were complex and indescribable, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

If he were to follow his thoughts, he would have loved to tear Situ Junrui apart, as he had never lost so much face in his life and had almost been exterminated.

But as the sect master, he naturally hoped to have more time to find a way out for his sect and seek a path to survival.

In any case...

The elder took a deep breath, clasped his fists tightly, and was about to bow to the youth, "Shen..."

Shen Yi extended his hand to stop his action and also interrupted his words, placing a new jade slip into the elder's hand and lightly tapping his chin, "Nan Yang, Shen Yi."

These four simple words caused the Mountain Moving Sect Master to be stunned for a moment, until Yan Chongzhang had chewed over the words several times, then looked up in astonishment, "Shen Daoyou is from the Southern Flood Seven Sons, the leader of the Nan Yang Sect?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Mountain Moving Sect Master had already slapped him hard on the back of his head, "Still a Daoist! Still a Daoist!"

If he could suppress Situ Junrui, he must be a Dao Fusion Realm cultivator. Could there be a second Dao Fusion Realm cultivator in the same treasure land?

After speaking, the elder withdrew his gaze, his mind in turmoil, "So it was the Nan Yang Sect Master who came in person."

He had even guessed that they had gone outside of Hongze, but he never thought that the real answer had been right in front of him all along.

That area of Southern Flood... how could it nurture such a terrifying young genius? Could it be that they were secretly communicating with Immortals and Eastern Hong while being blocked off in Southern Flood?

And the Nan Yang Sect Master, this title hadn't appeared in Hongze for many years, and the cultivator under this title had changed, but they were still as formidable as ever, living up to the reputation of being the leader of the Seven Sons!

"Wait..."

The Mountain Moving Sect Master suddenly realized something, looking at the youth in the ink-colored robe with disbelief.

The other party had suddenly revealed their identity, seemingly intending to protect the Mountain Movers Sect.

Could it be that from now on, the Mountain Movers Sect could also be associated with the Southern Flood Seven Sons? In the past, the Mountain Movers Sect Master would not have found this matter worth rejoicing.

The Southern Flood Seven Sons were indeed powerful, even if they had suffered divine punishment, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even if you look back a hundred thousand years later, it's just a drop from the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect level to the Western Dragon Palace level. It seems like a great fall, but don't forget... The Western Dragon Palace is also the overlord in charge of one of the Floods, and it's not yet at a level where the Mountain Movers Sect can be taken lightly.

The problem lies in...

The Southern Flood Seven Sons are secluded in a corner, too afraid to come out, unable to help with whatever happens outside, and they're also very stingy... Following them offers no benefits whatsoever, and it only invites trouble.

But now, the situation is completely different.

The Mountain Movers Sect's situation has deteriorated to the point of no return, like an unlucky ghost. At this moment, being able to lean on the Seven Sons, this great tree, is a blessing in disguise!

"The last Spirit Technique is also inside."

Shen Yi didn't say much. His idea was simple: since everyone had offended the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect, having an extra helper was definitely not a bad thing.

Moreover, since he was the one who did it, and the Mountain Movers Sect was taking all the blame, unless they planned to kill him to silence him, acting this way would make it hard to blame others for betraying him later.

"I need a quiet place to cultivate, and I might bother you for a few more days."

The last technique hidden in Nameless Mountain was just a Fusion Dao Spirit Art, and although it was equally rare, compared to his previous imagination, Shen Yi still felt a little disappointed.

This level of technique seemed somewhat unworthy of the magnificent mountain he had seen.

"Sect Master Shen, you're too kind. There's no need to mention any bother."

The Mountain Movers Sect Master shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, you can just treat this place as a branch of the Southern Yang Sect. After all, our lives are now all tied to the Seven Sons..."

"Yan Chongzhang, please lead Sect Master Shen to rest. I need to repair the Clan Defense Array." The old man raised his palm.

"Disciple understands."

Yan Chongzhang respectfully cupped his hands and then led the way, "Sect Master Shen, please."

In just a short period, he had changed his address for Shen Yi three times.

For some reason, after learning Shen Yi's identity, Yan Chongzhang's Dao heart suddenly became much more stable. He called out 'Sect Master Shen' with sincere respect, and no longer had the thought of comparing Shen Yi to himself.

It's not reasonable to compare a disciple to a sect master, especially when the other party is the Southern Yang Sect Master!

According to rumors, the Southern Yang Sect Master had even fought against an immortal. Who could possibly fill such shoes?

...

Inside the tranquil cave mansion.

Yan Chongzhang bowed deeply and withdrew.

Only Shen Yi remained, sitting cross-legged.

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: 1,070,000 years】

【Fusion Dao (Spirit). Celestial Sky Technique: Perfection】

The consumed lifespan of over 800,000 years, most of which was wasted in the process of obtaining the technique, and when truly cultivating this technique, with Yue Tianji's assistance, the entire process went so smoothly that even Shen Yi was surprised.

If not for the slight differences in their thinking, often resulting in misunderstandings, the time spent on cultivation might have been even shorter.

But what puzzled Shen Yi the most was...

The last set of incantations in Nameless Mountain had nothing to do with the Divine Mountain True Intention, as if it was disconnected from the previous two sets of incantations.

Transform into the Celestial Sky, and imprison all living beings.

Shen Yi had previously used this Celestial Sky Technique to break through Situ Junrui's Landscape Scroll.

True to its name as a Spirit Technique, its effect was indeed remarkable.

But Shen Yi still felt it was insufficient.

He slightly closed his eyes, calmly gazing at Yue Tianji in the Ten Thousand Demons Central Hall, "Have you had any thoughts?"

Earlier, at the foot of Nameless Mountain, although Yan Chongzhang had interrupted his thoughts, it had no real impact on the overall deduction process, as the main force behind the deduction was still this Central Hall Master.

"I have a little."

Yue Tianji was different from Ke Shisan; this Central Hall Master had a touch of madness that the other Hall Masters lacked, and he was extremely obsessed with all techniques.

At this moment, his eyes were still filled with fatigue.

It was unclear if it was because the deduction process was too long or if he found it too exhausting to convey his thoughts to his master.

"Reporting to my master, the Divine Mountain Suppressing Azure Sky, Mountain Stabilizing Technique, and Celestial Sky Technique, when cultivated in sequence, may lead to new progress if treated as a single technique."

"Only by using the Celestial Sky to suppress the Divine Mountain can it truly be called an Immortal Technique."

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously, "Why not use the Divine Mountain to suppress the Celestial Sky?"

Before he could finish, Yue Tianji's expression immediately turned gloomy.

It's starting again! It's starting again!

During the previous deduction, the master had used this peculiar way of thinking, trying to drive himself crazy.

He sighed and forced a smile, "Reporting to my master, how can a desolate azure sky be suppressed by a mountain range? Moreover... When have you ever seen an ordinary Fusion Dao Technique capable of suppressing a Spirit Technique?"
