After a moment of contemplation, Wang Yi took out over a thousand Medium-Grade Origin Stones, deciding to forcibly refine the impurities using Primordial Energy.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Yi let out a soft exhale, and the thousands of Medium-Grade Origin Stones transformed into strands of Primordial Energy, which flowed through his pores into his body, circulating through his meridians in a continuous cycle.
Under this Primordial Energy, the residual impurities from the Yuanchen Pill were finally refined by Wang Yi, and the essence of the Primordial Energy within him increased by thirty percent, making his strength even more formidable.
The next morning, the clear chirping of birds echoed throughout the forest, crisp and pleasant.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the woods.
It was Wang Yi.
Wang Yi scanned his surroundings but found nothing unusual; it seemed that the people from Canglan Sect had not yet tracked him down. After a brief thought, Wang Yi moved his feet and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the distance.
Song Kingdom was under Canglan Sect's jurisdiction, and Wang Yi could not linger for long. Therefore, he decided to leave Song Kingdom and return to the Killing Fields, heading towards the Soul-Fragmented Mountains. There was an abundance of fire attribute Primordial Energy there, which should help awaken the Fire Spirit and also allow him to find Chu Xuan.
Canglan Sect.
A sound echoed from the main hall as wood chips flew about, and the air was filled with heavy breaths.
"Master, please calm your anger." The crowd trembled and bowed in unison.
"Calm my anger?" Meng Hang's expression darkened as murderous intent flickered in his eyes. He looked sternly at everyone and coldly said, "Wang Yi must die. He has killed ten elders of my Canglan Sect in succession, and now the entire Song Dynasty is laughing at us. How can you expect me to calm down?" His voice was as cold as a chilling wind blowing through the hall, causing dozens of Breakthrough Experts to shudder and remain silent.
"Master, the Yin-Yang Elders possess Breakthrough Sixfold cultivation, and their Yin-Yang Divine Art has reached Nine Layers. Even Breakthrough Eighth Layer experts could fight them; yet they were still slain by Wang Yi. I believe this child must possess strength beyond Breakthrough Eighth Layer; otherwise, the Yin-Yang Elders would not have fallen at his hands." Elder Three Xu He, an elderly man with white hair, stepped forward respectfully and said, "Therefore, to kill Wang Yi, we must send our most elite forces from Canglan Sect to eliminate this threat once and for all and restore our sect's prestige."
"Good! What a fine plan to restore Canglan Sect's prestige! If that's the case, who among you is willing to slay this great enemy for Canglan Sect?" Meng Hang's face showed delight as he swiftly scanned everyone with his piercing gaze. "Whoever brings Wang Yi's head back will be rewarded with a Transformation Realm Insight Pearl and a Creation Pill. Who is willing to go?" By the end of his statement, Meng Hang's face already revealed a fierce killing intent.
To know, although the Canglan Sect is one of the three major powers of the Song Dynasty, the number of Breakthrough Experts is extremely limited, with fewer than thirty individuals. However, ten of them have been killed by Wang Yi, which has destroyed nearly one-third of the Canglan Sect's strength, causing it to fall behind the Ziyang Sect and the imperial court of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, they have to endure the ridicule of other martial artists, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
After a long silence, no one stepped forward, and Meng Hang's expression suddenly turned grim, his heart filled with raging anger but feeling powerless. The combined strength of the Yin Yang Elders is equivalent to that of a Breakthrough Eighth Layer expert, yet they were still slain by Wang Yi. Such strength requires someone with Ninth Layer power to confront.
However, the number of Breakthrough Ninth Level experts in the entire Canglan Sect is extremely few; aside from the three elders, there is no one else.
"Master, I am willing to go," Xu He said with a frown as he stepped forward.
"Elder Three, you are a dignified Elder Three of our Canglan Sect. There is no need for you to personally deal with a mere child," Meng Hang frowned and waved his hand to signal Xu He to step back.
"Master, as far as I know, Wang Yi is not yet twenty years old but has already reached Breakthrough Eighth Layer. In our Song Dynasty, such talent has not appeared in a thousand years. If given time, he will surely become a Transcendent Realm Expert. By then, he will be a threat to our Canglan Sect rather than us being able to kill him. I hope Master will allow me to personally slay this child."
Meng Hang knew well the threat posed by Wang Yi. However, dispatching Elder Three Xu He, who had been famous for decades in Canglan Sect, to deal with a mere child would be a joke among subordinates. How could the old sect master face others then?
Seeing Meng Hang remain silent, everyone hurriedly spoke up.
"Master, Elder Three is right; Wang Yi poses too great a threat. Previously, he single-handedly destroyed the Lin family, Zhou family, and Zhao Family of Xiangzhou Prefecture—the Three Great Families—and later annihilated Wen Cang Sect and killed Zhou Mengling. These three events clearly show that Wang Yi is ruthless. Now that he is at odds with our Canglan Sect, if we do not eliminate him now, it will be much harder to kill him later."
"Please make a decision soon, Master."
"Master, do not hesitate!"
"Elder Three is correct; if we do not kill Wang Yi now, it will be difficult to do so in the future."
"Alright then. Since it has come to this, I entrust the task of slaying Wang Yi to Elder Three." Meng Hang's eyes flashed coldly as he waved his hand and said in a stern voice.
"Yes." Xu He replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, Master; I will bring back Wang Yi's head." With that, he transformed into a streak of light and shot upward, disappearing from Wangu Mountain in an instant...
In the vast sky above, Wang Yi was moving swiftly.
Suddenly, a wave of energy fluctuations came from the front.
"Buzz!"
Wang Yi's gaze flickered, and a surge of energy radiated from him, colliding with this wave of energy. Instantly, a sound like muffled thunder erupted, deafening.
"Who?" Wang Yi's eyes sparkled like lightning as he shouted sternly.
"Hmph."
Suddenly, a faint cold snort echoed from the void. Initially, the sound was weak, but it surged hundreds of times in an instant, ringing like thunder in Wang Yi's ears.
"Boom!"
The air shattered.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Yi's expression turned cold. Knowing that the newcomer was no weakling, his clothes billowed as he waved his hand, summoning a tornado ten zhang high that appeared out of thin air and surged toward the void ahead.
"Rumbling!"
A hundred zhang away, everything was empty.
However, when the tornado swept in, an invisible force immediately appeared to intercept it.
The invisible force collided with the tornado, unleashing a power akin to a mountain flood. The impact was astonishing; any martial artist who had just entered Breakthrough would likely have no chance of survival within it.
"Rumbling!"
The sound of explosions echoed endlessly.
"Hmph, with your strength, even slaying a Breakthrough Sixfold warrior would be more than enough. No wonder the Yin Yang Elders perished at your hands."
An aged yet powerful voice resonated from this invisible force.
"Who are you?" Wang Yi fixed his gaze on this invisible power, trying to discern who the person was.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the invisible force. It was a man dressed in white robes, the White-Bearded Elder. He stood tall with a ruddy complexion, but his entire being exuded an overwhelming power, as if he were a ferocious beast like the Yin Yang Elders. Although he had not made a move, his presence alone was enough to make any Breakthrough Expert feel a sense of dread and an irresistible urge to attack, knowing it would lead to bloodshed.
"I am Elder Three Xu He of the Canglan Sect." Xu He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his robes gently billowing in the wind, showcasing the demeanor of a powerful individual. He spoke slowly, "You should feel honored. I have remained hidden in the Canglan Sect for decades and have never made a move until today, just for you."
As he said this, Xu He's bright eyes suddenly shot out two beams of light, like dazzling rainbows piercing towards Wang Yi's eyes, as if intending to blind him.
"Buzz."
Without any hesitation, Wang Yi immediately focused his mind and concentrated his Soul Power to its peak, shooting out two beams of light that collided with Xu He's brilliance in a flash. There was no sound; it was as if nothing had happened.
However, both Wang Yi and Xu He felt the immense strength of each other's Soul Power. Xu He glanced at Wang Yi with a hint of surprise in his bright eyes and said, "I didn't expect your Soul Power to far exceed that of others at your level; it's almost at my realm. Truly remarkable."
"You are not bad yourself," Wang Yi replied calmly.
"Hmph, but do you think this is enough for you to escape my grasp?" Xu He snorted coldly and said, "I pity your hard-earned cultivation. If you are willing to accept my Life and Death Talisman and serve the Canglan Sect, I will spare your life."
"Not a chance." Wang Yi's expression turned cold as he stared at Xu He and said, "Old man, I, Wang Yi, will never serve the Canglan Sect in this lifetime."
"Arrogant! Since that's the case, I shall eliminate you today and let you know that there are some people in this world you cannot provoke." Xu He's expression darkened immediately; a fierce look appeared in his eyes as he chuckled sinisterly. With one step forward, the void shattered beneath him like a broken floorboard, splitting into several cracks that produced a piercing sound.
"Prepare to die."
Xu He's eyes flashed with killing intent. With a fierce shout, he stepped forward, and in the next moment, his body appeared within fifty feet. As his clothes billowed, a Red Light Palm Seal, formed from Primordial Energy, materialized in the void.
This Red Light Palm Seal was about ten feet in size, radiating a brilliant red glow as if it were solid. It carried a fierce Gale and Primordial Energy as it struck towards Wang Yi's chest.
"Boom!"
The air shattered, and a thunderous sound echoed throughout the space.
"Hmph."
Looking at the red Palm Seal, Wang Yi remained surprisingly calm. With a wave of his large sleeve, a Wind and Cloud Sword Qi, condensed from Primordial Energy, swept across the ground like a swarm of locusts.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of slicing wind filled the air as it pierced into the red Palm Seal at lightning speed.
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
The sound of shattering porcelain rang out as countless Wind and Cloud Sword Qi directly pierced the red Palm Seal, turning it into a sieve. A large amount of Vital Energy spilled out, and with a rumble, the red Palm Seal was instantly shattered.
