The treasure had already caught a vast amount of Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder, and now it was also fending off the attacks of the three immortals from the East Sea. The thin, multicolored mist floated between the "Five Mountains," as if a single breath could blow it away. Despite being densely struck by thunder and chopped by swords, it still stood unmoved.

This time, the three immortals from the East Sea were only probing with their attacks, followed by the arrival of Master Can Xia, the Dragon Slayer, Master Baiyun, Master Yuan Yuan, and other immortals.

Among these people, there were not only members of the Emei Sect but also those who had been invited by Qi Shuming.

One of them came from Tianqian Mountain, at the border of the North Sea and West Sea, the Palace Master of the Three Continuous Palace, with the Daoist name Xiao Nan.

Qian is in the Northwest, and his mountain reaches high into the clouds, connecting to the Gang Qi and enveloped by the True Gold energy of Qiantian.

The Three Continuous Palace corresponds to the three unbroken yang lines of the Qian Trigram.

Among the primal Eight Diagrams, Qian and Kun are the first two trigrams. From the interaction of these two, the remaining six trigrams emerged, starting with the representation of parents by the three yang lines of Qian and the three yin lines of Kun.

The eldest son represents the Zhen Trigram, the middle son the Kan Trigram, and the youngest son the Gen Trigram.

He resides in the Northwest Qian Position, taking the name Xiao Nan, embraces the righteous qi of the Heavenly Gang, and with Gen stores thunder, comprehensively governing all three trigrams. This was known as the Three Uniques, and he forged the Tianqian Pouch, within which he stored eighteen Heavenly Gang Pearls.

Upon seeing him, the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor immediately showed a look of urgency and exerted his mana amidst the crowd of thunder to send his voice out firmly, "Daoist brother Xiao Nan, our Wutai Sect has never had any grudges with you; why bother getting involved in this mess?"

Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan replied indifferently, "The Emei Sect personally visited the North Sea to invite me, saying that someone is refining twelve Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords! Though of the Immortal Path, they actually seek to use demons to slay immortals, truly contrary to the Immortal Path, and this will lead to endless slaughter in the future. Moved by the Emei Sect's sincerity, I have come here. Hunyuan friend, the grudges between you and the Emei Sect are none of my concern, and I cannot meddle, but as a cultivator of the Immortal Path, I cannot allow such a demonic weapon to emerge. Moreover, you have actually used the Primordial Spirit of Chi You, the ancient killing deity, for sword refining. Once this sword appears, the slaughter it brings will not just be limited to immortals but will bring catastrophe to the entire human world! Hunyuan friend, you should give up forging this sword and think of other ways to compete with the Emei Sect's Daoist friends."

The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor tried to speak again, but Sikong Zhan let out a piercing whistle; in his view, these people have all come here today, so even if you exhaust all good words, could you persuade them to leave? They have calculated the time precisely, not even giving you the chance to delay. What's the use of saying more? It would only diminish the vigor of our Wutai Sect!

His whistle was long and stirring to the soul, "Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan! You were not involved in this calamity, but now that you've entered the fray, you may have to face the tribulation yourself. Regardless of whether the Divine Sword can be refined today, our Wutai Sect will not let you off easily!"

He immediately released his Lie Que Double Hooks, turning into a blue and a green streak of hook-shaped light charging towards Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan.

These Treasured Hooks were the demon-suppressing and self-protecting treasures of the ancient immortal Lie Que. After coming into Sikong Zhan's possession, he spent countless efforts in the sacrificial refinement, giving them great power. Lesser Flying Sword Magical Treasures, caught by their united grip, with just a little force, would snap and crumble, reverting to ordinary iron.

Sikong Zhan made his move with both hooks combined, aiming to rend Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan in two.

The Ascetic Monk saw this and raised a hand to release an Invisible Immortal Sword to counter the Lie Que Double Hooks.

The hooks and sword briefly entangled, then Sikong Zhan roared again, his hands spread wide, unleashing his most powerful Geng Jia Yunhua Tianmang Divine Needle!

Geng signifies gold, and Jia signifies wood. The moment this treasure was released, countless blue and white needles of light appeared; with Gold and Wood together, they annihilated and regenerated simultaneously, and they would drill into any crevice, sticking if they couldn't penetrate, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

Unleashing this treasure, he enveloped all the Emei Sect members, thinking that even if he couldn't kill the three immortals from the East Sea, he would eliminate a few weaker ones to crush the opponent's momentum and boost their own spirit!

The Ascetic Monk saw the situation and formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, chanting a Buddha's name. With a wave of his hand, he released a mountain-like Buddha Light that covered everyone, keeping the Heavenly Bright Divine Needles at bay.

The densely packed light needles, like iron filings attracted to a powerful magnet, all stuck to the outside of the Buddha Light, constantly spinning inward and converging for the attack.

At the same time, all of the Emei Sect people raised their hands, unleashing Taiyin Divine Thunder. Thousands of golden snakes blasted against the Buddha Light, dancing chaotically in the sky, shattering many of the cyan and white light needles.

Before victory or defeat had been decided here, Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan took out a Heavenly Gang Pearl and raised it in sacrifice, smashing it towards the "Five Mountains Divine Peaks."

There was a thunderous explosion, the ground shook thrice, and the water in the Star Constellations Sea far away seemed to boil, sending a large amount of water droplets splashing into the clear sky.

The "Five Mountains Divine Peaks" trembled violently, the five-colored misty haze within twisted and deformed, and in the blink of an eye, it thinned a great deal. If it weren't for the "Five Mountains" Array bolstering it, the Taiyin Five Smoke Net would have been thoroughly dispersed by this blow!

The Wutai disciples of lesser Dao Level on the "Five Mountains" were shaken until their Primordial Spirits were disturbed and their blood vessels became lax, some even with blood spurting from all seven apertures!

The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor had heard of the fame of Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan's Heavenly Gang Pearls in the past and knew they were powerful, but he didn't expect them to be this powerful!

There were a total of eighteen Heavenly Gang Pearls, and only one had been used so far. If two more were fired at once, the Taiyin Five Smoke Net would surely be destroyed.

The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's face was extremely unsightly, and he cast a spell to shrink the Taiyin Five Smoke Net's defensive area, now only concentrating the defense around himself and the mountain where the Heavenly Demon Sword was located, exposing everything else.

Xu Feiniang saw that after the explosion of the Heavenly Gang Pearl, it turned into a sky full of Heavenly Gang Essence Qi, which Xiao Nan was currently gathering with a Qiantian bag spell.

This was what he had painstakingly accumulated and refined over hundreds of years; after using it, collecting the Essence Qi promptly meant that he could eventually refine new Heavenly Gang Pearls, though they would be slightly less powerful due to depletion.

Xu Feiniang then quietly released the Six Thieves Invisible Needle, blending it into the wild Heavenly Gang Qi filling the sky, aiming it at Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan.

However, it was still keenly sensed by Qi Shuming, who timely released an Iron Turtle Immortal Shield in front of Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan. He felt that Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan was being too penny-pinching, starting off with one pearl; if he had used two pearls at once, the Taiyin Five Smoke Net would have broken. After releasing one pearl, he should have quickly launched the second one instead of fretting over the treasure and wasting the best opportunity...

Master Can Xia said from the side, "The opponents' Taiyin Five Smoke Net can't withstand it, Daoist friend please release another pearl quickly!"

Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan also knew the situation was urgent, so he took out another Heavenly Gang Pearl and threw it out.

Seeing this in the sky, Sikong Zhan let out an angry roar, his hands spread wide, displaying the Twelve Great Heavenly Secret Demon Techniques, mixed with twelve Heavenly Thunder Pearls!

This thing of his was also of nuclear weapons level, a Magical Treasure. If it were the complete version, with twenty-four Divine Thunders fired at once, and with the boost of his several hundred years of Lifetime Skill, the attack range could cover a thousand miles. Within the Forbidden Circle, all mountains, rivers, and earth would be enveloped by the Spell, every living being drawn in, rubbing against each other, exploding, and with water, fire, wind, and thunder stirring together, every grain of sand, every drop of water, would rub and explode against each other, turning into billions of bolts of thunder, continuous and endless!

Sikong Zhan, knowing that another Heavenly Gang Pearl would be released and the "Five Mountains Divine Peaks" could possibly be shattered, was urgently furious and desperately threw the remaining Twelve Great Heavenly Secret Demon Thunder Beads, releasing only twelve small Heavenly Thunder Pearls. The power was less than a third of the full version, but concentrated within a few miles, encompassing all of the Emei Sect members within.

He figured that except for the Ascetic Monks and True Master Xuanzhen who could exit with their whole bodies, the rest, if not dead, would be seriously injured, possibly wiping out the majority!
