NOVPUB"Yes," Xu Zimei nodded indifferently.
"I am in charge of defending the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
"Defending the Myriad Treasures Pavilion?" chuckled the white-haired elder.
He said, "Young friend, it seems like a bit much for you, doesn’t it?"
"What should I call you?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Just call me Old White Tiger," the elder chuckled again.
He gently stroked his beard, looking deeply concerned.
"That title is too ancient; you might not have even heard of it."
"Indeed, I have not," Xu Zimei nodded.
While Xu Zimei was chatting with the elder, two more figures approached from afar, walking on air.
"Brother Banyue, it seems I have arrived before you this time."
A burst of hearty laughter came from the side.
"True Man Pudu, you can’t swallow the Myriad Treasures Pavilion alone. Why don’t we join forces?"
"Your Canyue Empire surely has a big appetite, but since we’re all cooperating and forming an alliance this time, joining hands shouldn’t be a problem.
However, I must be the first to choose from the treasures inside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
They laughed and talked their way here.
True Man Pudu was clad in a white robe, and his features had a mixture of a Buddha’s likeness with a somewhat demonic feel.
There are said to be thirty-two marks of a Buddha.
Sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle, sometimes cruel.
Perhaps this was what they meant by the myriad faces of people.
True Man Pudu had a constantly changing visage, with Buddha Beads hanging around his neck.
He stood atop a purple auspicious cloud.
Sage Banyue next to him had rather feminine features.
Just like those of a woman.
On his brow was a mark of the moon, and he was dressed in moon-colored robes, glowing with lunar radiance.
Even during the daytime, this moonlight was still soft and enchanting.
"Oh, it looks like someone has beaten us to it," chuckled the two upon seeing Old White Tiger and Xu Zimei, as well as the members of the Five Elements Sect who were fighting.
"Sirs, this place now belongs to the Canyue Empire and the Merciful Ferry Sect. Please leave,
lest we have to get involved," Sage Banyue said with a faint smile.
The members of the Five Elements Sect who were fighting stopped, their expressions slightly changing.
They didn’t have the guts to defy the words of two from the Imperial Rule Immortal Gate.
But to leave just like that, they couldn’t help but feel unwilling.
The fat was just about to slip from their grasp.
"When did this place become your territory?" Bai Lin snapped coldly.
Hearing Bai Lin’s words, True Man Pudu merely smiled and did not respond.
His gaze looked over, as if a giant Buddha character was condensing from the void, pressing down towards Bai Lin.
Bai Lin’s face drastically changed, trying to dodge, but her body simply couldn’t evade.
In an instant, the sound of chanting rose, and the Buddha character descended with force.
Suddenly, a jade hand crossed through the void, and with a single press, the Buddha character was annihilated in the void.
Everyone quickly turned to look and saw a woman in a white dress walking slowly over with a lotus gait.
"Headmistress," Bai Lin looked at the woman in white, surprised, and said,
"You’ve worked hard," the woman in white looked at Bai Lin and said with a smile.
Then she turned her head and glanced at Xu Zimei.
"I heard that the headmistress of the Heavenly Dao Academy is elusive and shrouded in mystery.
I didn’t expect to have the opportunity to meet you today. Did you specifically wait for us?" Sage Banyue said with a light laugh.
"It appears that we’re going to experience her prowess."
"I am not here for you," the woman in white said indifferently.
She looked at Old White Tiger next to her and then showed a slight smile, "Great-Grandmaster, it’s been a long time."
"White Girl, I’ve never acknowledged that you’re my great-granddaughter," Old White Tiger shook his head and laughed.
"Don’t think for a second that I won’t plot against the Heavenly Dao Academy because of what you say."
"No matter what, you are still my mentor, and other than that, I have no other intentions,"
the lady in the white dress shook her head and replied.
"It seems somebody doesn’t take us seriously," True Man Pudu said with a slight squint of his eyes.
Around him surged a golden radiance.
Within this Buddhist light, it seemed as if a great Buddha was being born.
"When the Buddha’s light first appears,"
the Buddhist light shot up into the sky, illuminating the heavens.
"The Buddha moves mountains and rivers."
Another earth-shattering sound came, and the Buddhist light spread with clouds.
The Buddhist clouds stretched endlessly, one after another.
The mountains and rivers trembled, and the heavens and earth shattered.
In the Buddhist clouds formed a five-fingered mountain, pressing down towards the lady in white.
"Although you are War Generals under a Great Emperor, tens of thousands of years have passed without progress in your cultivation.
I don’t mean to look down upon you, but you are still not enough,"
the white-dressed lady snorted coldly.
With a casual wave of her hand, she instantly suppressed the Buddhist clouds and dispersed the endless Buddhist light.
The entire void was suppressed by her one finger.
Space and time solidified in place.
True Man Pudu’s figure didn’t have the slightest resistance and was directly flung away.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zimei’s gaze sharpened.
"So she has entered a higher level," he muttered to himself.
One must know that both Sage Banyue and True Man Pudu were venerable Stepping into Immortality powerhouses.
Sage Banyue has already entered the Immortal Extreme, and True Man Pudu was even at the pinnacle of immortality.
Theoretically, they were the strongest beings in the world, barring the emergence of a Great Emperor.
But now, someone so easily slapped them away.
Xu Zimei had only seen one person capable of this before.
That was the Heavenly Curtain War God of the True Martial Holy Sect, who had broken the rules and stepped into a whole new realm.
This lady seemed to do the same, yet in terms of aura, she was somewhat lacking compared to the Heavenly Curtain War God.
"It seems that in tens of thousands of years, little Bai has grown stronger," Old White Tiger, standing beside him, said with a glint in his eyes and a light chuckle.
Sage Banyue and his companion came again, their previous contentment gone from their faces.
"Who in the world are you?"
"The dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy, do I still need to explain it to you?" the lady in the white dress replied.
"Have you stepped into the Nirvana Realm?" Sage Banyue asked with a frown.
"Just half a step," the lady in white replied with a slight shake of her head.
"But that’s enough to fight you."
"Then let’s try. Nirvana beings are rare in ten thousand years, and I have never fought one in my life.
The existence of that legendary realm is indeed interesting," Sage Banyue said indifferently.
The crescent moon symbol on his forehead burst forth with heaven-shaking moonlight.
In an instant, his whole being appeared to be sublimated.
With the white moon’s heaven-shaking brilliance, the lone wolf laments its sorrow.
Within the moonlight donned by Sage Banyue, a graceful figure danced enchantingly.
As if casting a dance to play with the clear shadow, what compares to this in the mortal realm?
"Let’s discuss something," the lady in white turned to Xu Zimei and said with a smile.
"What is it?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Those two are for you to deal with," the lady in white said, pointing to Sage Banyue and True Man Pudu.
Then, pointing at Old White Tiger, she said, "I’ll take care of him."
"What do you mean, setting me up for a two-on-one?" Xu Zimei laughed.
"We can switch if you prefer. Anyway, I’m doing this for your own good," the lady in white responded.
"Shall we try?" Xu Zimei said, pointing at Old White Tiger.
