Xu Familyâs supreme treasure was a rag, yet this made Immortal Wangâs expression become serious, even more so making Wang Da, Wang Er, and a few others feel incredibly shocked.
Shi Hao felt his scalp turn numb. He could hear endless war cries from that piece of cloth.
The cloth Great Elder had was extremely shabby, and it was wrinkled all over as well, some holes visible on its surface. It looked like it was going to completely fall apart.
One could roughly make out that this was a banner. There were all types of blood traces on it, the passage of time leaving behind too many imprints on it, clearly an ancient artifact.
âBack then, during Immortal Ancientâs last phase great battle, this was previously an iron-blood war banner that was held by a true immortal, leading the various clans to face the other sideâs great armyâŠâ Immortal Wang said to himself.
Even he felt a bit of regret.
âCorrect, it is precisely this war banner!â Great Elder said.
This war flag, in the past, was perhaps only an iron-blood war banner, a symbol, but its significance later was completely different. There were Immortal Kings that died, used to bind the corpses when they were brought back.
Moreover, it wasnât just one, but two!
One could see just how miserable the final battle was. The most powerful Immortal Kings of a realm were killed in battle, disappearing in defeat.
It was unknown just how many people were killed, corpses filling this place.
This war banner was used as cloth to wrap corpses, previously bringing back the ruined bodies of two Immortal Kings. Meanwhile, their essence blood also unavoidably soaked through this banner.
Its material was sturdy, originally weaved out of precious threads. Now, together with Immortal Kingsâ most fundamental essence blood soaking through it, it became even more unordinary.
Soon afterwards, it directly developed spirituality!
Later on, it ended up in the Xu Familyâs hands, after a process of refinement, it became a supreme treasure with immortal dao formations engraved on it, becoming something in between a formation and a weapon.
Not far out, there were quite a few Wang Family disciples who were watching what was happening. When the elders spoke about these secrets in a low voice, everyone became greatly shocked.
Even Shi Hao was shaken up. What was this? It was the iron-blood banner of Immortal Ancient War!
The significance of this thing was too unordinary. Regardless of what its power was like, it was enough to leave everyone in this realm shaken up.
It was simply a piece of history itself, the war banner of the past. It was heavy like a mountain!
No wonder war cries sounded endlessly, it was all because of the true meanings stored within this banner. It originated from the battlefield, soaked in the blood of endless experts.
When the day came where they had to face the other side, this war banner would undoubtedly be the most suitable banner to wave once more. The war spirits of the past would be with them, blood sacrifices made with the blood of the enemy!
Should this banner be raised once more, it would definitely be a grand occasion, one accompanied by blood boiling battles!
âXu Family, they really were willing to part with it!â Immortal Wang said.
Xu Family and Wang Family were old enemies, the two clans not getting along with each other. In Heavenly Deity institution, Princess Yao Yue always stood against Wang Xi, from this alone one could see that the clans carried great hatred towards each other.
Meanwhile, the discord between the two clans could be traced all the way back to Immortal Ancient times!
They were both long life families after all, so even their gratitudes and grudges were terrifyingly long, moreover not going away all this time, everything tangled together.
âIsnât it merey a tattered banner, already about to fall apart? What is so special about this?â There was someone watching the battle from the horizon. An expert from Wang Family said quietly, not attaching all that much importance to this banner.
â Heng!â Great Elder released a heavy snort. That person immediately exploded, turning into a blast of bloody mist.
âYouâŠâ The expression of some of Wang Familyâs Nine Dragons changed, feeling like Meng Tianzheng was too unrestrained, actually killing someone right in front of them.
âMeng Tianzheng, you are too insolent!â Wang Er shouted.
âWang Family is just like in the past after all, not caring much about Immortal Ancientâs last phase battle all that much, even daring to disrespect the sacred object that has wrapped immortal kingsâ corpses, not attaching importance to it.â Great Elder said.
This time, Immortal Wang didnât say anything, only some individuals among the Nine Dragons who didnât accept this.
Immortal Wang knew that the significance of this banner was too great. For someone like Great Elder, it was an unmatched sacred object to the extent where its value was even greater than the Ten Realms Diagram.
As a war banner that had soaked in the blood of ancient people, and even serving as the cloth that wrapped around two great Immortal Kings, this tattered banner, in some peopleâs eyes, was equivalent to some type of spirit, even more so a type of soul.
That was why Immortal Wang didnât retort this, not opposing Great Elder on this matter. Otherwise, it would force the other party to retaliate with even greater ferocity.
âThings are a bit troublesome.â Wang Jiu said, transmitting sound to a few of his older brothers that had more fiery tempers.
âI refuse to believe that he can face our Wang Family just by relying on this ancient banner!â Wang Da said coldly.
âIt is indeed a bit troublesome, this banner both a formation and a weapon. Now that it has made an appearance, my Wang Familyâs immortal dao formation canât do anything to it, it can cut open a path. I never expected the Xu Family to be this generous, daring to lend out this type of thing.â Immortal Wang secretly transmitted to his nine sons.
âThis⊠could it be that we canât do anything to him?â Wang Er found this hard to accept, still wanting to keep Great Elder here.
âImmortal Kingsâ wrapping cloth, after it was refined into a supreme treasure, even if it doesnât allow one to walk through our formations like level ground, it is pretty close. At the very least, he can move through it, and with the Ten Realms Diagram as well, Meng Tianzheng will bring tremendous destruction to my clanâs ancient land.â Immortal Wang said.
He felt like even if they made Great Elder stay behind, perhaps even kill him, Wang Family would have to pay a tremendous price they would find hard to bear.
âThis old thing, I really want to immediately kill him. Could it be that after he barged into our clanâs pure land, we can only watch him leave without doing anything?â Wang Da was furious.
Immortal Wangâs expression was incredibly overcast, only a while later did he seem to have come to some kind of decision. He looked towards Great Elder, and then said, âTodayâs matters, letâs end it here, I will no longer pursue it. It is because I respect this war banner greatly, not wishing to take arms against it.â
When Great Elder heard this, he roared with laughter. While carrying an expression of ridicule, he said, âYou respect this war banner? It is hard to say whether your Wang Family even acknowledges that battle. Someone like you would feel like this banner is a sacred object?â
It was because he could tell just from the reactions of the disciples, which was why he didnât hesitate to directly kill a powerful expert from this clan.
Then, Great Elderâs expression became cold. âYou wonât pursue this matter, implying that you are graciously letting us go. However, I want you to know that I am pursuing it further, that I came today to demand an explanation!â
âYou⊠Meng Tianzheng, donât go too far! My Wang Family has spoken benevolently. What kind of place are you treating this as?!â Wang Er shouted.
âA place where I will get an explanation.â Great Elder replied coldly. His eyes released two sharps beams of radiance, killing intent roiling, staring straight at Wang Familyâs old second.
âWhat do you want to do?â Immortal Wang asked.
âIt is simple, I want you to restrict your heirs, vow not to target Shi Hao anymore.â Great Elder said.
âYou⊠are forcing father to make a vow?â Wang Da was truly angry, immortal mist on his body surging. âFor the sake of an ant, you are going so far, even wanting my father to make a promise, what qualifications do you have to do this?!â
Great Elder spoke coldly, saying, âDo you feel that you are that special, high up above? However, in my eyes, you are only a bit more remarkable. After a period of time, Shi Hao will be stronger than you!â
Then, Great Elder said, âHe is my disciple, just like you are Immortal Wangâs children. I am declaring right now that if Wang Family dares harm Shi Hao again, I will not stay my hands from the Nine Dragons, kill one when I see one!â
These words were resounding and deafening, ringing through this entire ancient land, all creatures within several tens of thousands of li hearing them, stirring up great waves.
Who was this? He actually dared threaten the Wang Family!
âDao brother, you have crossed the line.â Immortal Wang said.
âThis time, I, Meng Tianzheng, every word I speak is like a nail, meaning precisely what I say. If your Wang Family dares cross this line again, I will definitely unleash a great slaughter, a few of the Nine Dragons will definitely die!â Great Elderâs words were like thunder, resounding through this ancient land.
âItâs Meng Tianzheng!â
âHeavenly Deity Institutionâs Great Elder!â
âHe is taking action for Huangâs sake, actually threatening our old great ancestor!â
The atmosphere became extremely tense, ready to erupt into a world-shocking great battle at any time.
âFor these things, you had to barge into my Wang Family? Why didnât you inform us through a letter?â Immortal Wang said.
âFather!â Wang Daâ couldnât restrain his anger, feeling like his father wasnât acting bold enough.
âMy true body came, yet you all still wanted to suppress me, so what will a letter accomplish?â Great Elder said coldly.
âI gained some realizations recently. Let us exchange a few moves, if I lose, then everything will be as you wish.â Immortal Wang said, about to fight Great Elder.
âFine, however, there is one more thing. You all must pay a certain price. This time, you harmed my disciple, so I cannot just let things end like this!â Great Elder said.
âWhat more do you want?â Immortal Wang said coldly.
He found it a bit hard to hold back now. If not for his apprehension towards the corpse wrapping cloth and Ten Realms Diagram, as well as the danger to his own children, he would have taken action a long time ago.
â Wu , what do you want?â Great Elder asked Shi Hao.
At this moment, Shi Hao was overwhelmed by emotions. Great Elder really possessed matchless divine might, even this domineering after coming to Wang Family, opposing Immortal Wang with equal harshness. He truly was worthy of being a peerless expert.
âI⊠wish to examine the Chaos Calming Art.â Shi Hao said.
When they heard this line, everyone from Wang Family became furious.
Even the corners of Immortal Wang's lips twitched slightly.
Wang Da, Wang Er, and the others were truly angered badly. It was just a young man, yet he dared to casually ask for their sect protecting scripture. How could they just let this happen?!
The Chaos Calming Art was high up above, its strength matchless throughout the world, known to be one of the three most powerful sword arts from past until present. It was an unrivaled scripture.
In the earlier years of Immortal Ancient, just by relying on this art, there were people who forced back foreign enemy troops, maintaining the peace of a certain period of time. The words âchaos calmingâ came precisely from this.
This was enough to prove how astonishing and glorious the Chaos Calming Art was!
âThis cannot be done.â Immortal Wang said coldly.
âIt canât?â Shi Hao felt regretful.
Great Elder was a bit speechless. Wasnât this basically asking for Wang Familyâs lives? If they really demanded it, perhaps Immortal Wang really would stake it all against them, fight with their lives.
âYou should change the request. Forget it, Iâll make the decision in your place, help you think of something.â Great Elder said. He feared that Shi Hao would raise some type of unrealistic condition, so he hurriedly added.
Great Elder discussed things with Immortal Wang, and then the two took action!
They naturally wouldnât use the Ten Realms Diagram, war halberd, and other things, only exchanging bare-handedly, fight with their true strength.
âIâve gained some insights recently, so you should watch yourself!â Immortal Wang said coldly. He took action.
Everyone was horrified, scared that they might be turned into bloody paste by the unmatched magical force blast waves. However, at the same time, they were extremely curious, wishing to see what kind of matchless methods were going to be displayed.
However, everyone was disappointed.
Immortal Wang didnât release divine force fluctuations, nor were there any boundless natural laws that interweaved, the winds and clouds calm. When his great sleeves moved, his right hand formed the shape of a crane mouth, piercing towards Great Elder.
What was this? It wasnât some legendary great divine ability!
However, Great Elderâs reaction was completely different from everyoneâs anticipations, becoming extremely serious. He stared at his opponent, and then his right leg slowly moved back. Like a vicious tiger swinging its tail, it lashed out at the crane mouth.
âThisâŠâ
Everyone was speechless. Wsa this a battle at the very peak? Why did their techniques seem ordinary, lacking the slightest fluctuation of power, even more so no chaos or disorder appearing?
Then, Immortal Wang was like a spiritual ape, moving his arms and releasing a fist.
It was as if Great Elder was embracing the moon, guiding force.
âWhat is father doing? Why doesnât he take action domineeringly, cut him down with the Chaos Calming Art?!â Wang Da said quietly.
Only Wang Jiuâs expression was serious, incredibly grave, even his breathing stopped as he stared at these two. He saw through the enlightenment, saying with a low voice, âThey are turning the complex into the simple, transforming the ten thousand dao of the world into a single motion, comparable to matchless methods!â
âIt looks ordinary, just a single move, but father has merged several killing methods of the Vicious Ten. You tell me if this is dangerous or not?â Wang Jiu said with a sunken voice.
Then, he closed his mouth, feeling like he was suffocating.
It was because the two of them already completed the three moves.
âI do not feel like this type of attack has any power.â Wang Da was puzzled.
However, his expression immediately changed, because a giant mountain behind him cracked with a kacha noise, and then it exploded.
Forget about him, even the expressions of others from Wang Family changed. How could the great mountain crack apart?
One had to understand that there were a total of ten thousand spiritual mountains in this immortal family ancient land, every single one of them possessing immortal symbols. However now⊠one of them collapsed.
Everyone understood that even though Immortal Wang and Great Elderâs competition looked simple, extremely easygoing, clouds and winds light, the power was unimaginable!
Once it ignited, heavens would fall and earth would split, everything falling to ruin!
