Chapter 633: The Supreme Elder's Might!
Chapter 633: The Supreme Elder's Might!
Once again, it was the same conference hall as the day before, and Chu Ning sat in the main seat.
However, today, Chu Ning's presence felt slightly different to everyone present.
The day before, Chu Ning's aura wasn't overpowering; it was subtle and gave off a sense of detachment and transcendence.
Today, Chu Ning still didn't intentionally reveal his aura, but when the crowd's gaze casually swept over him, they couldn't help but feel that Chu Ning was subtly exuding an air of dominance.
Among them, Qin Changkong and the Yu brothers, both at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, were the most perceptive of this change.
Their faces didn't show any obvious changes, but their minds had already started to ponder the situation.
Chu Ning had been in power at the Long Sky Pavilion for decades, and the atmosphere in the hall was quite noticeable to him.
Just as Gu Yuexian seemed about to speak up and ask, Chu Ning took the initiative and spoke first:
"Fellow Daoists, yesterday I learned the general situation from Fellow Daoist Yu.
However, I'm not sure what Fellow Daoist Yu's opinion is, and how it will truly affect all of you here?"
Chu Ning's straightforward statement caused everyone present to look at each other in surprise.
The Yu brothers couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Although Chu Ning didn't explicitly say it, they had already guessed his intention.
In fact, they had almost finalized the matter yesterday, and if Chu Ning truly agreed with their approach, he wouldn't have used such words.
At this moment, Yu Zhifang's gaze turned to Yu Changge, and they hadn't expected that for decades, Yu Changge had always taken a side.
But now, he was so decisively standing with Qin Changkong.
"Fellow Daoists Yu."
Just then, Chu Ning's calm voice sounded.
Yu Zhifang and Yu Zhiguang couldn't help but look over.
"I've always heard that you two have excellent coordination and your combined strength is formidable. When I was at the intermediate-stage Nascent Soul, I wanted to seek guidance from you, but I never had the opportunity.
May I ask if you would be willing to teach me today?"
Chu Ning's tone was calm, yet it carried a strong sense of confidence.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
Whether it was the Yu brothers, Qin Changkong, or the other cultivators, they all looked at Chu Ning with astonishment.
When Chu Ning first spoke, many people had guessed his attitude.
However, they never expected that Chu Ning would choose such a direct approach, intending to suppress the Yu brothers single-handedly.
Yu Zhifang and Yu Zhiguang stood up simultaneously, their faces showing a hint of coldness.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu is in such high spirits, we brothers will naturally accompany you!"
"Good!" Chu Ning slowly rose.
"It's not convenient to do this within the sect, let's go outside to spar."
As he spoke, Chu Ning took the lead and flew out.
The others naturally followed, but many of them had surprised expressions, and some even began communicating through divine sense.
Qin Changkong wanted to ask Yu Changge for a clear explanation of what was going on.
However, Yu Changge seemed to have anticipated this, and as soon as Chu Ning flew away, he also quickly flew out.
A group of Nascent Soul cultivators flew out from within the sect, naturally attracting the attention of numerous Jiuhua Sect cultivators who looked up in curiosity.
Especially when they saw that the group had stopped not far outside the sect's formation array, the Jiuhua Sect cultivators were even more intrigued.
"What are the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master doing?"
"Hey, everyone else has dispersed, and only the Supreme Elder and those two seniors are facing each other in mid-air."
"They seem to be the two late-stage Nascent Soul seniors from Tahe Pavilion, are they going to spar?"
...
The Golden Core cultivators of the Jiuhua Sect were the first to realize what was happening.
Soon after, the news that Chu Ning was about to spar with the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Tahe Pavilion spread throughout the entire Jiuhua Sect.
Even some cultivators who were originally indoors were called out by others.
These lower-level cultivators didn't dare to fly into the air, but they all craned their necks to watch from the ground.
In mid-air, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators from the Cloudsoaring Alliance were also intently watching the scene unfold.
At this moment, Chu Ning stood alone in front of the Yu brothers, his face still calm, appearing serene and unperturbed.
On the contrary, the Yu brothers' expressions were incredibly complex.
They had a hint of confusion, a hint of vigilance, and a hint of unease.
They didn't feel embarrassed about the two-on-one situation because they had always fought this way.
However, Chu Ning's decision to fight them one-on-two clearly showed a lack of respect for their strength.
This undoubtedly made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Fellow Daoists, please!"
At that moment, Chu Ning suddenly spoke up.
At the same time, he raised his hands, ready to attack.
Upon seeing this, the Yu brothers immediately moved, one to the left and the other to the right.
The next moment, two golden lights approached Chu Ning from different directions, ready to attack.
As Chu Ning was still observing, two golden rays suddenly merged into one in the air.
They transformed into a golden dragon and charged towards Chu Ning with murderous intent!
To everyone's astonishment, Chu Ning, who had just raised his hand, showed no signs of casting any spells.
His hand was raised, but no magical technique was unleashed.
Instead, Chu Ning's face revealed a hint of keen interest as he gazed at the attacking golden dragon.
He seemed curious about the fusion of the two types of spells used by the Yu brothers.
Only when the golden dragon was ten zhang away from Chu Ning did he casually wave his hand.
A cluster of green flames emerged from Chu Ning's hand, colliding head-on with the charging golden dragon.
Although the green flames appeared less formidable than the dragon, it seemed as if even the wind generated by the dragon's passage could extinguish them.
But to everyone's surprise, when the golden dragon touched the green flames, its momentum abruptly halted.
The next moment, a layer of green ice rapidly formed around the dragon's exterior.
Then, in an instant, it disintegrated into countless green specks of light, vanishing into the air.
"Chu Ning's spiritual flames are even more powerful than before!"
Not far away, Qin Changkong's eyes flickered slightly.
Back in the Eternal Brightness Sect, he had witnessed Chu Ning's spiritual flames, but they were nowhere near as potent as they were now.
Chu Ning's effortless defense against the Yu brothers' fierce attack made Qin Changkong realize that this Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Jiuhua Sect might possess strength far beyond that of an ordinary Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The Yu brothers, on the other side, also seemed taken aback.
However, their actions were not slow.
They simultaneously waved their hands, and several golden rays flashed again.
This time, the golden rays did not merge.
Instead, they each transformed into five golden dragons, totaling ten dragons rushing towards Chu Ning.
The ten golden dragons attacked from different directions, locking down all of Chu Ning's escape routes.
"Ten Dragon Lock!"
This sight caused many Nascent Soul Cultivators to feel a slight shock in their hearts.
Ten Dragon Lock was a top-secret technique of the Tahe Pavilion.
Originally, it was a technique where one person summoned ten golden dragons to trap and kill their enemies.
Due to the Yu brothers' exceptional coordination, they could each summon five golden dragons.
This naturally meant that the power of their combined attack was twice as strong as that of a single person.
No one expected the Yu brothers to use such a powerful killing technique right after engaging in combat.
"It seems that Chu Daoyou's previous strike has made these two from the Tahe Pavilion feel threatened.
But I wonder how Chu Ning will counter this attack.
It's extremely difficult to dodge the Ten Dragon Lock, unless one manages to escape before the dragons completely surround them.
Chu Ning didn't react earlier, and now it's too late."
Just as Qin Changkong and the other Nascent Soul Cultivators were filled with curiosity.
They witnessed purple flames erupting from Chu Ning's body, enveloping him in a layer less than one zhang thick.
Then, as the ten golden dragons touched the purple flames, they were instantly incinerated.
"What kind of spiritual flames are these?"
"These seem to be the legendary Supreme Yang Spirit Fire, the Purple Yang Spirit Flames!"
The Nascent Soul Cultivators were astonished to see Chu Ning effortlessly counter the Yu brothers' attack once again.
Some cultivators who had studied the Supreme Yang Spirit Fire recognized that Chu Ning was using the Purple Yang Spirit Flames and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The Yu brothers, seeing that the Ten Dragon Lock had been broken instantly, couldn't help but show a slight change in their expressions.
Not giving up, they attempted the secret technique again.
Unlike before, they simultaneously summoned ten golden dragons each.
When the twenty golden dragons arrived, they suddenly merged into a single golden dragon and fiercely struck towards Chu Ning's head.
"Hua!"
This scene immediately elicited exclamations from many low-level cultivators within the Jiuhua Sect.
Even without being present, they could sense the danger from the sheer might of the attack.
The Nascent Soul Cultivators' hearts also skipped a beat.
This variation of the Ten Dragon Lock was something that many of those present had never witnessed before.
The transformation from a trapping technique to an offensive one concentrated all the power on Chu Ning's head, clearly more powerful than before.
The next moment, as the golden dragon penetrated the purple flames and turned into nothingness.
Cheers and exclamations of surprise spontaneously arose within the Jiuhua Sect.
In the sky, before the Nascent Soul Cultivators could express their awe, Chu Ning's calm voice resounded.
"Fellow cultivators, won't you use your treasures?
If not, I'll have to attack!"
As Chu Ning's words fell, everyone saw him raise his hands, green rays emanating from them as he waved towards the Yu brothers, dispersing into the void.
Yu Zhifang and Yu Zhiguang couldn't gauge the power of Ning's attack, so they dared not directly confront him like Chu Ning.
In a flash, the two brothers reunited.
Chu Ning, however, seemed to have anticipated this, and his hands, which were initially spread to the sides, now came together in the middle.
Instantly, two blue rays appeared beneath the Yu brothers' feet.
The next moment, a blizzard engulfed the two brothers, covering an area of a hundred zhang around them.
It was the Frost Ice Domain!
The Frost Ice Domain trapped the Yu brothers, but Chu Ning didn't unleash the Ice Soul Dragon Roar. Instead, he swiftly waved his hands, casting several Profound Ice Seals.
The seals floated down from the air and entered the Frost Ice Domain, disappearing into the snowy realm in the blink of an eye.
The onlookers couldn't see through the snowy domain to witness the scene inside, but they could vaguely hear various intense sounds.
Faintly, the unique chimes of a treasure could also be heard.
"The Yu brothers are using a treasure!"
However, despite the commotion within the Frost Ice Domain, the Yu brothers didn't break through and emerge.
This caused the expressions of the Nascent Soul Cultivators to become peculiar.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Chu Ning, who was continuously casting seals.
His expression remained calm, and he executed his spells with ease.
Anyone could see that Chu Ning wasn't exerting his full strength.
Yet, even in this situation, the Yu brothers, despite using their treasures, couldn't break through the ice and escape.
The power of this spell was truly formidable!
Chu Ning could sense the gazes of the crowd, whether it was his casual decision to block of the Yu brothers' attack or his current choice to trap them in the Frost Ice Domain.
He had done all this intentionally.
Chu Ning's goal wasn't just to defeat the Yu brothers but also to make everyone submit.
After all, he didn't know what awaited him in the Demon Mountain, and he couldn't rely solely on his own strength.
Otherwise, he would have ventured there alone last night.
Since he wanted everyone to submit, he had to show them that he possessed the strength to overpower his peers.
Even if he did this casually, it was enough to completely suppress the Yu brothers.
After casting ten seals, Chu Ning stood with his hands at his sides, quietly observing as the Yu brothers struggled within the Frost Ice Domain.
Nearly thirty breaths passed.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a golden light shooting into the sky, a gap was torn in the snow-filled sky.
Two figures flew out from the gap.
They were the Yu brothers, their faces grim, each holding a golden blade.
"Fellow Daoists, receive our Jiuhua Sect's Heavenly Flame Sword Art!"
But before the Yu brothers could react, Chu Ning's voice sounded again.
Instantly, above their heads, countless flames descended like a torrential downpour from the heavens.
Upon closer inspection, each flame resembled a tiny fire sword.
Moreover, these small swords weren't the usual fiery red color of ordinary flame spells.
Instead, they carried a hint of purple.
And beneath the brothers' feet, corresponding to each small sword of flame, faint flames ignited.
It was as if there was a mirror in the air below, creating reflections of these fiery small swords, a dazzling sight!
Chu Ning's Heavenly Flame Sword Art was far more powerful than the Jiuhua Sect's original Heavenly Fire Explosion Sword Art.
He had merged the Fiery Flame Art of the Leihuo Sect and even condensed some power of the Ziyan Spirit Flame.
Having just escaped the extreme cold of the Frost Ice Domain, the Yu brothers now felt an intensely scorching aura.
They could sense that this fiery power was even more formidable than the previous ice.
Their faces paled, and they swung their long blades, unleashing golden rays that transformed into a sea of golden light to meet the airborne fire swords.
Simultaneously, the Yu brothers' golden blades clashed, and a golden light shield enveloped them.
But soon, they realized that all their efforts were in vain.
The spells they unleashed were all easily shattered beneath the falling fire swords.
Then, the fiery small swords struck the golden light shield surrounding the brothers.
In just a few breaths, the golden light shield disintegrated.
Instantly, several fire swords struck the brothers' bodies.
"Ugh!" "Ugh!"
Accompanied by two pained grunts, the brothers fell from the sky.
Throughout the Jiuhua Sect, cheers erupted.
"We won!!!"
"The Grand Supreme Elder is mighty!!!"
At the same time, in mid-air, the Nascent Soul Cultivators looked at Chu Ning, their eyes filled with astonishment!
