“Six?” 

  Teng Qingshan’s heart fluttered. This was totally like sending charcoal in snowy weather. Teng Qingshan was anxious to get more stone inscriptions, and the moment he turned around, the Great Elder of Rising Sun Trading Company told him that they had six stone inscriptions! Teng Qingshan knew clearly that Emperor Yu had made the stone inscriptions personally, and each stone inscription was extremely precious. So, the Rising Sun Trading Company would never lend it to others so easily. 

  Otherwise, why was it that during this half a year, the Rising Sun Trading Company hadn’t mentioned anything about the fact that the Trading Company itself possessed the stone inscriptions? 

  “Why? Brother Teng, you don’t believe me?” The Great Elder asked in surprise when he saw there was no response from Teng Qingshan. 

  “Believe…… Of course, I believe you.” Teng Qingshan smiled and said, “The Rising Sun Trading Company has a history of over three thousand years, and its forces cover the entire continent. It is the most powerful trading company in the continent. There are thirty-six stone inscriptions in this continent. If the Jiang Clan could possess a piece of the stone inscription, it would be weird if the Trading Company didn’t own any. So, it is not strange for the Rising Sun Trading Company to possess six stone inscriptions.” 

  The Great Elder laughed. 

  “However, I am just thinking……” Teng Qingshan looked at the Great Elder with a smile. “The six stone inscriptions are incredibly precious. Old Brother Mu, since you mentioned the six stone inscriptions, I guess you need me to do something tough.” 

  “It is something with a slight difficulty.” The Great Elder nodded in response. 

  “Tell me, what do I have to do for you to lend me the six stone inscriptions?” Teng Qingshan asked. 

  Teng Qingshan had left the Land of the Nine Prefectures for too long. He was always worried about his faraway homeland. Now that Teng Qingshan knew the Rising Sun Trading Company possessed six stone inscriptions, he was willing to obtain the six stone inscriptions at all cost. 

  “Good. Very straightforward.” The Great Elder grinned and said, “My instructor has a request for you.” 

  “Instructor…… the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal?” 

  Teng Qingshan was greatly astonished. His brows drew together as he asked, “Old Brother Mu, your instructor is a Martial Immortal. What is it that he can’t do and has to ask me to do it?” Previously, Teng Qingshan had been slightly confident, but he now felt slightly nervous. A Martial Immortal was an Emptiness Realm Expert! An Emptiness Realm Expert was asking him to do things? 

  “Don’t worry.” The Great Elder smiled and answered promptly, “Although my instructor is a Martial Immortal, he can’t fly! When I sparred with you last time, I went back and told him about your bird-type demonic beast. This time, my instructor needs some help with a particular matter. He ordered me to ask you to meet him with that bird-type demonic beast.” 

  “Bird-type demonic beast?” Teng Qingshan was surprised. “The Rising Sun Trading Company doesn’t have a demonic beast that can fly?” 

  “In this continent, only the Tian Feng Clan understands the languages of beasts,” The Great Elder shook his head as he explained. “Moreover, the bird-type demonic beasts are extremely few in number So, don’t even mention taming one.” 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal asked me to meet him with the bird-type demonic beast…… Are there any requirements in regards to the ability of the bird-type demonic beast?” Teng Qingshan asked. 

  “No requirements.” The Great Elder chuckled and said, “My instructor just cares about the bird-type demonic beast’s ability to fly! As for the ability? A Golden Dan Innate Demonic Beast is useless to my instructor.” 

  Teng Qingshan nodded. 

  Teng Qingshan was already planning to bring the Whole Gale Eagle. As for the Blue Luan …… It would be staying here! 

  “I still don’t get why the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal wants me to go.” Teng Qingshan asked. 

  “I am not sure either,” The Great Elder answered, shaking his head. “I only know that it’s to find something in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.” 

  “Dreamy Cloud Swampland?” A thought struck Teng Qingshan. 

  The three most dangerous zones in Duanmu Continent were the Dreamy Cloud Swampland in the Western Tang Region, the Blazing Flame Territory in the Eastern Flower Region, and the Tianfeng Canyon in the Northern Frosty Region! Out of the three, the Dreamy Cloud Swampland was the most dangerous zone. 

  “Right. The Dreamy Cloud Swampland has an area of three thousand Li. It is extremely vast, and it is extremely difficult for even an Emptiness Realm Expert to find any precious item there. However, if it were a bird-type demonic beast searching from high altitudes, finding the item would be a lot easier.” Teng Qingshan now understood why the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal had asked for him. 

  However, was it just a search for some item? 

  The precious item that the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal wanted was probably not ordinary. 

  However, no matter what, Teng Qingshan decided to go once for the sake of the six stone inscriptions! 

  “Old Brother Mu, it is already late. How’s this? We can depart tomorrow morning,” Teng Qingshan said. 

  “Yes. Sure.” Mu Wang nodded. ……

  During dinner time, Teng Qingshan told Li Jun that he would be going to the West Tang Region. 

  Then the next morning, Li Jun and the others watched Teng Qingshan and Great Elder Mu Wang ride on the Whole Gale eagle and fly in the northwest direction. 

  The radiance of the sun sprinkled over the earth in the afternoon, beaming on the endless accumulation of snow. 

  The Whole Gale Eagle flapped its wings and soared. The back of the Whole Gale Eagle was wider than the back of the Blue Luan. The Whole Gale Eagle’s back had enough space for Teng Qingshan and the Great Elder to sit cross-legged. However, the Blue Luan’s back was only enough for one person to sit on. 

  Flying rapidly, the Whole Gale Eagle pierced through the air.The houses in the villages below appeared like ants. 

  “Look, that’s Dreamy Cloud Ancient City up ahead.” The Great Elder pointed into the distance. 

  “Oh. That is the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City?” Teng Qingshan’s eyes lit up as he gazed at the ancient city. The walls encircling the entire city were azure and black, and there were a significant number of guards on the city walls. 

  The Dreamy Cloud Ancient City was an ancient city with a history of over three thousand years! 

  Since the time of its construction, it had been the headquarters of the Rising Sun Trading Company. 

  “That must be the Dreamy Cloud Swampland.” Teng Qingshan looked beyond the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City and peered toward the vast and endless area west of the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City. Under the beams of sunlight, a faint gleaming reflection of waves could be seen. That was a huge swampland—Dreamy Cloud Swampland, the most dangerous zone in Duanmu Continent! 

  “Yes, that’s the Three Thousand Li Dreamy Cloud Swampland.” The Great Elder gazed at the Dreamy Cloud Swampland and exclaimed in admiration, “I have never seen the Dreamy Cloud Swampland from such a high altitude!” 

  The Whole Gale Eagle flew at an altitude of several Zhang. Looking at the Dreamy Cloud Swampland from such high altitudes, the scenery was indeed beautiful. 

  “Several years have passed by, but the Dreamy Cloud Swampland is still a world of different kinds of monsters. Every part of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland is dangerous. The most annoying thing is …… the topography of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland changes continuously. The safe route which is found through the sacrifice of many lives is no longer be safe after one or two years.” The Great Elder sighed. 

  When Teng Qingshan heard this, he smiled in response. 

  Compared with the Desolate Land in the Nine Prefectures, the three thousand Li Dreamy Cloud Swampland was much smaller! 

  “Get the Whole Gale Eagle to descend,” The Great Elder said hastily. Through Teng Qingshan’s introduction, the Great Elder knew that this bird-type demonic beast was called Whole Gale Eagle. 

  “Little Grey.” 

  Teng Qingshan patted the neck of the Whole Gale Eagle, and the Whole Gale Eagle immediately emitted a high-pitched cry and darted down. ……

  Outside the East Entrance of the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City: 

  Teng Qingshan and Great Elder Mu Wang walked side by side as they headed toward the city gate with the Whole Gale Eagle following behind them. 

  “Great Elder.” A convoy awaited them at one Li away from the city entrance. 

  “Brother Teng, let’s get into the carriage.” Mu Wang smiled and said, “Have the Whole Gale Eagle get into the carriage too. If not, the appearance of a demonic beast in the city will result in ” 

  With a smile, Teng Qingshan patted the Whole Gale Eagle’s body and pointed at the carriage. 

  Although the Whole Gale Eagle couldn’t communicate with humans, it possessed human intelligence. Thus, it could understand easily what Teng Qingshan was trying to express. The two humans and one bird-type demonic beast went into the carriage in succession. 

  “Go!” The Great Elder ordered. 

  The convoy then advanced toward the city entrance. 

  When they arrived at the city entrance, Teng Qingshan flicked a glance out the window and noticed that all the people who entered or departed the city needed to show a special card. “Old Brother Teng, it looks like the guards of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland are extremely strict.” 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Ancient City is the ancient city of the Rising Sun Trading Company. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission,” Mu Wang replied with a smile. 

  “According to my knowledge, the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City is one of the thirty-six main cities. To be able to govern this main city alone and prohibit people from entering, your trading company is indeed powerful,” Teng Qingshan said with astonishment. 

  The Great Elder Mu Wang smiled and said, “The Rising Sun Trading Company built the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City. For over three thousand years, this city had been governed exclusively by our Trading Company.” 

  A trading company had governed a city exclusively for over three thousand years. 

  It was indeed remarkable. 

  After the convoy entered the city, they advanced rapidly along the street. They soon arrived at the entrance of a luxurious palace. 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Ancient City occupies an area of several dozen Li, while the Rising Sun City was the city within the city and occupied an area of several Li,” The Great Elder explained. “We have already entered the Rising Sun City. My instructor is inside. 

  Teng Qingshan was secretly surprised. 

  The Rising Sun Trading Company’s way of doing things already showed the demeanor of the Supreme Sects in the Nine Prefectures. The Supreme Sects in the Nine Prefectures had first occupied a city and then built the city within the city. 

  “Great Elder, we have arrived,” A voice announced from the outside. 

  “Let’s get off.” The Great Elder smiled and led Teng Qingshan and the Whole Gale Eagle off the carriage. 

  In the Rising Sun City, pretty maids could be seen everywhere, but the troop of patrolling guards was seen only occasionally. 

  “Brother Teng, do you know how many soldiers are there in the Dreamy Cloud Ancient City?” The Great Elder said with a smile. 

  “One hundred thousand?” Teng Qingshan guessed. 

  “Two hundred thousand!” The Great Elder smiled. It was evident that he was proud of the trading company. 

  “Two hundred thousand soldiers? That’s more than the number of soldiers of the ordinary clans,” Teng Qingshan remarked. 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Ancient City has a population of over one million. Besides the two hundred thousand soldiers, the other people …… 99% of those are the descendants of the Mu Clan,” The Great Elder continued saying. 

  “What? The Mu Clan?” 

  Teng Qingshan froze. Almost all the people in this city were part of one clan? Was that possible? 

  “The Rising Sun Trading Company……” Teng Qingshan looked toward the Great Elder in surprise and asked, “Old Brother Mu, the few people that I know in the Rising Sun Trading Company all have the surname Mu. Perhaps……?” 

  “It looks like Brother Teng knows very little about the Rising Sun Trading Company. This is not a secret! In the Rising Sun Trading Company, all the supervisors are members of the Mu Clan. So, the Elders are definitely members of the Mu Clan! The Rising Sun Trading Company is the Mu Clan’s Trading Company.” The Great Elder smiled. “And I thought Brother Teng already knew about this.” 

  These wasn’t a secret…… All the clans knew about it. 

  “Powerful,” Teng Qingshan sighed in surprise. 

  “Besides the soldiers, 99% of the people in the city are members of the Mu Clan?” Teng Qingshan was very astonished. His hometown, Teng Jia Village, only had a population of two thousand. 

  Yet, the Mu Clan had almost eight hundred thousand members! 

  If all the members in the continent were added, the Mu Clan would probably have a population of over one million people. 

  “That’s not weird. Over three thousand years ago, the Mu Clan was already a great clan! From generation to generation, the population increased continually! Over three thousand years have passed since then …… How great is the population now?” The Great Elder was very proud as he continued saying, “Our Mu Clan has eight major branches and 79 minor branches. Each of the Mu Clan’s minor branches are also divided into many subgroups.” 

  When Teng Qingshan heard this, he was secretly shocked. 

  “This is a highly prosperous clan,” Teng Qingshan thought, “If only …… my Teng Clan could be this thriving. 

  “The descendants of Yu the Great and the descendants of the Duanmu Deity only thrived for a short time. The most suitable way of developing a clan is to be like the Mu Clan.” Teng Qingshan also had some ideas on how he could develop his Teng Jia Village in the future. 

  The two chatted while walking. 

  “Brother Teng, we’re now just outside my instructor’s residence. Wait here for a moment. I will go inform him.” The Instructor said with a smile. 

  “This is the residence of the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal?” 

  Teng Qingshan felt slightly nervous as he stared at the very ordinary-looking palace.

  Book 8 Chapter 20 Teng Qingshan Versus the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal! 

  The palace that the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal dwelled in occupied a large area. It was a building with three halls, the front hall, main hall, and the back hall, and two gardens. All of the palaces were constructed with white grayish bricks and light brown roof tiles. Each and every palace had pointed roofs, and all the roofs were covered with snow; however, most of the snow accumulated on the roofs had melted. 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal is one of the two great Martial Immortals in the Duanmu Continent!” Teng Qingshan looked at the entrance of the palace and thought to himself, “When I reach the Emptiness Realm and return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures, I would need to deal with experts like these!” 

  Teng Qingshan knew that whether it was in the Land of the Nine Prefectures or the Duanmu Continent, the ones who decided the fate of the continent and stood at the pinnacle were still the Emptiness Realm (Martial Immortal) Experts! The Duanmu Continent only had two Martial Immortals. Because there were so few Martial Immortals, the innate experts had very high statuses. As for the Land of the Nine Prefectures, one prefecture probably had the same number of Emptiness Realm Experts as the number of Martial Immortals in the entire Duanmu Continent. 

  Some prefectures, like Yuzhou, which was governed by Emperor Yu’s Hall, and Yongzhou, which was regulated by the Ying Family, probably had more Emptiness Realm Experts than the Duanmu Continent! 

  The Land of the Nine Prefectures had a significant number of Emptiness Realm Experts, all of whom were figures that stood at the pinnacle of the world! 

  “After I finish helping the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal complete this task and obtain those six stone inscriptions, I will be able to reach the Emptiness Realm.” Teng Qingshan planned secretly, “Even if the six stone inscriptions didn’t help me reach the Emptiness Realm, I would be very close to the Emptiness Realm!” 

  Teng Qingshan and the Whole Gale Eagle stood outside the entrance of the palace. 

  When the patrolling elite guards saw the Whole Gale Eagle, which was even taller than a human, they were astonished. 

  After a while— 

  “Brother Teng, come. Come in with me,” Great Elder Mu Wang said with a smile as he came out of the entrance. 

  “Little Grey, let’s go.” 

  Teng Qingshan patted the Whole Gale Eagle’s feathers, and the human and demonic beast stepped into the entrance of the palace at the same time. 

  “Old Brother Mu, where is the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal’s palace?” Teng Qingshan asked. 

  “It’s in front.” Great Elder Mu Wang laughed and said, “My instructor has an excellent temper. However, don’t act arrogantly in front of him, because he hates that kind of person the most. If my instructor hates someone, he might kill that person.” 

  “I am not that arrogant,” Teng Qingshan grinned. 

  Walking along the hallway of the main hall and passing by it, they arrived at a spacious garden at the back. 

  The floor of the garden was paved with slabs of azure rock, appearing very organized. A carpet covered one of the azure rock slabs, and a table was placed on top of the carpet. An elder wearing a snowy white leather coat and a felt hat sat cross-legged on the carpet. A jug of wine and two wine cups were placed on the table before him. 

  Beside the table was a sheathed massive war blade. Some weird engravings could be seen on the sheath, and the image of a wolf head could be seen on the handle of the blade. 

  “Instructor!” Mu Wang greeted respectfully. 

  “Teng Qingshan pays respect to senior,” Teng Qingshan said in a respectful manner. 

  “Oh, the fellow named Teng Qingshan has arrived?” A very friendly voice sounded. The silver-haired, white-bearded elder looked at Teng Qingshan with a face full of smiles. He then flicked a glance at the Whole Gale Eagle by Teng Qingshan’s side, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He immediately instructed, “Yes. Mu Wang, you should go back first. Let me chat with this young fellow.” 

  “Yes, instructor.” Mu Wang departed while showing respect. 

  Teng Qingshan only began scrutinizing the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal at that moment. 

  The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal appeared to be a very affable and kind old man. He looked very similar to his grandfather Teng Yunlong. His grandfather and this Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal both had a tough and stocky build, and both of them always appeared to be very amiable when they laughed. Looking at the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Teng Qingshan couldn’t perceive any differences between the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and an ordinary person. 

  “Sit,” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal pointed in front of him. 

  “Yes.” Teng Qingshan walked forward and sat down cross-legged. 

  As cultivators often sat cross-legged while they cultivate, they were accustomed to not using any chairs. 

  “Teng Qingshan. If you don’t mind, I will call you Qingshan,” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal said with a smile. 

  Teng Qingshan smiled. 

  “Qingshan, I, an old man, asked you here because I need your help with something.” As the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal spoke, he glanced at the Whole Gale Eagle and praised, “According to my information, you should have another bird type demonic beast that can spurt flames. I didn’t expect you to bring this one here! Awesome! I don’t even have one bird type demonic beast.” 

  “I was lucky,” Teng Qingshan smiled and said. 

  “Yes. Looking at your eyes, you should still be very young. You haven’t reached the age of 60, have you?” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal asked. 

  Teng Qingshan was surprised. 

  Innate Experts were experts with powerful ‘Spirit.’ As for the Emptiness Realm Experts, they comprehended the Dao of the Heaven. The eyes of a young person and the eyes of an old man were entirely different. Although judging the age through the eyes……was not very accurate., the judgments of Emptiness Realm Experts were rather accurate! 

  “The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal is undoubtedly powerful. In my previous life, I died when I was almost 30, and, in this life, I turned 20 this year. He guessed that I haven’t reached the age of 60……” Teng Qingshan secretly exclaimed in admiration. 

  “Yes, I haven’t reached sixty years old,” Teng Qingshan nodded. 

  The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal nodded, and he exclaimed in admiration, “Mu Wang is the most outstanding child in the Mu Clan in the last two centuries! Now, he is very close to stepping into the Emptiness Realm and becoming a Martial Immortal! However, he is over one hundred and thirty years old. You are not even half his age, yet you attained a higher achievement than him. Amazing!” 

  Teng Qingshan froze. 

  Stepping into the Emptiness Realm and becoming a Martial Immortal? 

  It looked like Duanmu Continent also had the term ‘Emptiness Realm!’ 

  “Come, Qingshan. Let’s test out each other’s fighting techniques.” With that being said, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal stood up. 

  “Test out each other’s fighting techniques?” Teng Qingshan was shocked, and he hastily said, “Senior, you and I spar?” As Teng Qingshan himself hadn’t reached the Emptiness Realm, in his opinion, sparring with an Emptiness Realm Expert would just result in him being bullied. 

  “I was just asking to test out our fighting techniques. What are you worried about? Perhaps, you are worried that I, the old man, might take this chance and kill you?” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal frowned and said discontentedly. Immediately, Teng Qingshan felt as if a great mountain was pressing towards him. 

  Teng Qingshan laughed and untied the sheath on his back. Simultaneously, he said, “Since senior is willing to instruct this young one personally, of course I would take the chance.” 

  “Alright. That’s more like it!” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed. 

  “Chichi~~” Teng Qingshan connected the two sections of the spear into one and threw the sheath beside the table. With the movement of his feet, he instantly darted ten zhang back, leaving an afterimage. He then stood with his spear in hand and looked at the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal with a smile, “All the skills of this young one are related to this spear. Senior, please instruct me.” 

  Teng Qingshan felt a sense of pride. 

  So many years have passed, and Teng Qingshan had never sparred with an Emptiness Realm Expert! In the past, he had met the God of Heaven in the God of Heaven Mountain, but just the eyes of the God of Heaven were able to affect Teng Qingshan. When he was in the God of Heaven Mountain, he only sparred with the disciple of the God of Heaven, First Godly General Borileimu. 

  The Emptiness Realm was reputed to be the highest cultivation realm in the legends. Whether it was in the Land of the Nine Prefectures or the Duanmu Continent, Emptiness Realm Experts were always the existences at the pinnacle of the world. 

  “Today, I will finally know how powerful an Emptiness Realm Expert really is!” Teng Qingshan’s mental state reached its most focused state. 

  “Haha, not bad.” 

  The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed as he stood with his hands folded. He then looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile, “Attack with your strongest technique!” 

  Whew! 

  Teng Qingshan’s eyes narrowed. The amiable and kind Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal seemed to have transformed from the amiable and friendly senior or the seemingly ordinary elder into a sharp war blade! The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal’s entire body permeated a faint aura of a blade, and there were even faint flashes of the blade around the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal. 

  His eyes weren’t blurry; it was the truth! 

  “Senior, be careful.” As Teng Qingshan focused his eyes, a beam of light shot out of them. 

  Whoosh~~Whoosh~~ 

  Teng Qingshan moved like a mud fish in water. His body flashed as he continued advancing, moving in a strange way. Within the blink of an eye, the distance between him and the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal shortened from ten Zhangs to two Zhangs. Simultaneously, a layer of aqua blue battle armor enveloped his entire body, and an aqua blue Supreme Force twirled on the Reincarnation Spear in his hand. 

  “Chi~~” Teng Qingshan’s right arm bulged, filling out his sleeve. The Reincarnation Spear seemed to have transformed into a huge snake flicking its tongue out. The Reincarnation Spear also resembled a flood dragon that had just dashed out of its cave! 

  It was as if the head of a dragon dashed out! 

  Chi! 

  The Reincarnation Spear tore the air apart instantly. As Teng Qingshan exerted force during the last moment, the Reincarnation Spear rotated like a python and struck like a pointed hammer that drilled and cracked the heavens and earth. Accompanied by an ear-piercing, unpleasant buzzing sound, the tip of the Reincarnation Spear, which was forged with the Ten Millennium Coldsteel, pierced towards the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal! 

  The combination of his physical strength and the Supreme Force produced an enormous explosive force of one million six hundred thousand jin. 

  Toxic Dragon Drill, one of the Five Elemental Spear Arts! 

  With a stern expression, the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal moved his right hand at lightning speed, swinging the knife-hand forward! 

  TLN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knifehand_strike 

  “Clang!” 

  On the surface of the knife-hand, the silhouette of an enormous blade appeared out of nowhere and instantly slashed down on the Reincarnation Spear. 

  “Eh?” Teng Qingshan only felt that great force. The spear shaft transmitted a terrifying force that seemed like the inundation of a great flood. In front of that power, the power that Teng Qingshan himself was very proud of was like a joke. Due to the power of the slash, Teng Qingshan flew away and made a deep engravings on the azure rock slabs. 

  Pieces of azure rocks flew in all directions, leaving holes in the palace wall. Some rather big pieces even knocked the wall down, and rumbling sounds could repeatedly be heard. 

  “Quick, quick! This way!” 

  A great amount of footsteps could be heard approaching rapidly. 

  “Leave.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal frowned and said coldly. 

  “Leave!” “Leave!” “Leave!”  . 

  The sound echoed, and immediately azure figures emerged at lightning speed into the palace, where the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal was located. They immediately scolded those meddlesome elite guards, causing them to leave, and then they quickly returned to their palace after that. The azure colored figures didn’t dare to disturb the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal. 

  The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal and Teng Qingshan were the only two left in the garden. 

  “Whew. Very powerful.” Teng Qingshan stood up. The layer of aqua blue colored Supreme Force that enveloped Teng Qingshan’s body vibrated slightly as Teng Qingshan leaped out of the deep hole. 

  “Emptiness Realm Experts are indeed Emptiness Realm Experts. They don’t even need to use any weapons against me. Just a use of the knife-hand was able to produce a terrifying power that could blast me away. I don’t even have enough power to to be able to resist against him.” Teng Qingshan could totally perceive that shocking difference. 

  “I first performed my Toxic Dragon Drill, and he defended after I moved. He has surpassed me in both speed and power.” Teng Qingshan wholeheartedly accepted his defeat. 

  Teng Qingshan withdrew the Supreme Force that enveloped his body and cupped his hands as he said, “Senior, this young one has lost.” 

  “Qingshan, you have deceived Mu Wang for a long time.” The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed and said as he strode towards Teng Qingshan, “Mu Wang thought you were a Golden Dan Innate Expert. When he told me, I thought to myself that the person who could defeat Mu Wang must be an Emptiness Realm Expert since Mu Wang’s understanding of the Dao has reached an extremely high level and is only one step away from reaching the Emptiness Realm.” 

  “Now that I have seen it today! As expected! Qingshan, you must have just reached the Emptiness Realm. I didn’t expect that there would be three Martial Immortals in our Duanmu Continent,” Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal laughed and said.
