Guo Zonghuang and Grandmaster Huang Yang followed the clues and managed to locate the escaping cultivator.

Although he was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he couldn't match up to an experienced Advanced Nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster Huang Yang. They were stopped by Grandmaster Huang Yang, while Guo Zonghuang summoned the powers of the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons to catch up with them.

Grandmaster Huang Yang roared furiously, and a beam of yellow light appeared in the sky. As the light flashed, a huge yellow cottonwood tree appeared before it crashed down towards the escaping cultivator.

The yellow cottonwood tree didn't seem very mighty, but it seemed to engulf the entire void s.p.a.ce as it crashed down. This left no route for the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to escape.

He could only stop in his tracks and clasped his hands together. Streaks of green light flew into mid-air and chopped the yellow cottonwood tree.

But the green lights couldn't fully chop the yellow cottonwood tree. While they did slow down the descent of the tree, they didn't manage to stop it from cras.h.i.+ng down.

The Nascent Soul Stage cultivator shrugged his sleeves and released a few Aurous Core Stage cultivators that he had absconded with.

Grandmaster Huang Yang groaned and released some of his subordinates to tackle the Aurous Core Stage cultivators. They encircled the Aurous Core Stage cultivators and prevented all of them from scaping.

Guo Zonghuang and the other Celestial Sect of Wonders' disciples stood at one side. They didn't advance forward and only watched as Grandmaster Huang Yang and the Great Zhou cultivators under him take down the felonies.

But at this point, the surrounding spiritual energy started to circulate and huge changes occurred.

Streaks of white light shot into the sky and filled void s.p.a.ce. In an instant, the white lights covered Grandmaster Huang Yang, Guo Zonghuang and the others.

The view in front of everyone seemed to change and they appeared to have been trapped amidst a layer of dense fog.

Both Grandmaster Huang Yang and Guo Zonghuang furrowed their brows, “Is this an intentional ambush?”

Guo Zonghuang looked around him and saw that everything was white. He seemed to have lost track of everyone around him. He couldn't see or hear anyone. It's as if he was the only who existed.

At this point, Guo Zonghuang's spiritual altar and sea of awareness started to tremor. He felt someone inching closer to him from behind.

Guo Zonghuang shouted and his figure flashed before he disappeared from where he was.

The person who tried to ambush him from the back was an Aurous Core Stage cultivator who hid himself within the fog. He exploited the opportunity to kill Guo Zonghuang, but his target disappeared right in front of him.

This left him in shock. Not only did his opponent discover his presence, he even lost his target.

He immediately retreated back into the fog. But before he could fully do so, a palm had already appeared in front of him and slapped his face!

The fog around the Aurous Core Stage cultivator scattered as this palm struck. The fog couldn't protect him any longer. He wanted to dodge, but he only felt as if the Heavens was collapsing. A huge figure increased even greater in size, making him seem like a divine being that had come to the mortal world.

The Aurous Core Stage cultivator was slapped in the forehead by Guo Zonghuang as a ‘piak' sound was heard.

Guo Zonghuang's expression didn't change and he looked at the surrounding fog. After that, he retrieved a treasure pearl and released it into mid-air. The pearl started to flash with a gentle glow.

This gentle glow spread like moving clouds. After it contacted the layer of fog, they combined together before disappearing.

This was a Nascent Soul Stage magic item that Guo Zonghung received after he was given the t.i.tle of the Blizzard Valley's third-generation First Disciple, the Virtual Cloud Pearl.

This wasn't the work of Zhao Huan. It was cultivated by Li Xingfei from the Forest Abode, and w.a.n.g Lin even offered some of his input. It was very magical and could overcome many illusory images and projections.

After verifying the effects of the formation that trapped him and the rest, Guo Zonghuang retrieved this magic item and enabled himself to break free from the entrapment.

Guo Zonghuang advanced with the Virtual Cloud Pearl with him, into the center of the formation.

The fog couldn't get close to Guo Zonghuang with the Virtual Cloud Pearl protecting him. The formation also circulated at a slower speed because of the Virtual Cloud Pearl's influence.

Guo Zonghuang's gaze flashed and he felt an undulation of powers in front of him. He overcame the illusions and continued to proceed forward. The fog scattered and revealed Grandmaster Huang Yang.

Besides the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from before, there was another Nascent Soul Stage cultivator present. They were attacking Grandmaster Huang Yang together.

Grandmaster Huang Yang nodded his head at Guo Zonghuang as he saw him without saying anything. Without the formation restricting him, his powers were able to be used more freely. He unleashed his Cosmic Form and repressed the opponents even though he was outnumbered.

Streaks of yellow glow flashed across void s.p.a.ce, resembling fallen leaves. These leaves cut those two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and left them injury-stricken.

Guo Zonghuang pointed his finger at the Virtual Cloud Pearl and the pearl shot out a streak of radiance that resembled white clouds. It was like a path, which Guo Zonghuang ascended. He flew along the path rapidly after ascending it.

The fog in front of him scattered and a human figure appeared in front of him suddenly. The figure turned around and seemed surprised.

It was an elder who seemed extraordinary. His hair was neat, and his powers shook void s.p.a.ce. He had a mastery in the Beginner Nascent Soul Stage.

He was dragging an unstable ball of gas in his hands, which was a small world created using his powers. It had just taken form.

The small world had a youth in the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage. He was Guo Zonghuang's junior and a disciple under Zhao Huan. His name was Qin Pengan.

Guo Zonghuang rushed forward with big steps as he saw this scene. He dashed towards the elder.

The Golden Crown of Angels and Demons appeared above his head once again. Immense powers were supplemented onto him and he donned a piece of cloak over his purple costume.

The cloak shone with a chaotic radiance, and streaks of flowing lights surged from it.

This was another Nascent Soul Stage magic item that was given to Guo Zonghuang. It was called the Celestial Cloak.

Guo Zonghuang's powers were enhanced with the help of two Nascent Soul Stage magic items. He burst with energy and his huge figure grew in size. He broke through void s.p.a.ce and came before the elder. The Celestial Cloak unleashed its effects and made him even quicker than the elder who wanted to retreat.

Guo Zonghuang's entire body was like a cauldron – he burst with so much energy that his body heated up very quickly.

From the moment he took his step, his right palm had already been struck out. When his palm had gained full momentum, his entire person was already in front of the elder.

“This is an Aurous Core Stage cultivator?!” The elder wanted to capture Guo Zonghuang too, but changed his mind after he saw the Golden Crown of Angels and Demons as well as the Celestial Cloak. He shouted, “Do you want him to die?”

But before he even finished shouting, Guo Zonghuang had also unleashed his left palm without any reservations and without any regards for his own defense and safety.

While his left and right palm weren't in synced with each other, they formed a combined palm attack.

The elder only sensed that the Heavens and Earth was flipped at this point. The Heavens was about to collapsed while the Earth was about to be flipped above him.

This sensation didn't just occur once. Guo Zonghuang struck out both his palms and flipped the Heavens and Earth once. But after this first round of flipping, a second round seemed to arrive almost immediately. The third, fourth time would follow, and this continued on and on!

The brutal force even interfered with the elder's circulation of powers.

He discovered that he needed to adapt fully. If he wanted to kill Qin Pengan, it was easy. However, it wouldn't be simple for him to deal with Guo Zonghuang's palm.

Guo Zonghuang wasn't afraid of formations or illusions. If he was harmed by Guo Zonghuang's palms and allowed Guo Zonghuang to get close to him, his attacking momentum was bound to collapse. As a Beginner Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he might perish in the hands of an Aurous Core Stage cultivator!

The elder snorted. As he grabbed hold onto the small world with one hand, he drew 3 circles in void s.p.a.ce using the other hand. This was an attempt to weaken Guo Zonghuang's palm attack.

Who knew that Guo Zonghuang's cloak shone suddenly and his powers increased yet another bound. His footsteps changed suddenly, and he slid his body laterally. After that, his palms mimicked a throwing action, as if he was flinging knives out.

“Stop now!” A loud rumbling thunder seemed to have resonated. As Guo Zonghuang shouted, his right hand crossed the small world in the elder's hand and he broke the world apart.

Qin Pengan managed to see the outside world and cheered, “Senior Guo!”

Guo Zonghuang's brutal right hand seemed to turn gentle instantly. He saved Qin Pengan, whose powers were restricted. At the same time, he struck out his left palm once again towards the furious elder.

As his energy surged, Guo Zonghuang's dominant palm strike collided with the elder's attack. Both parties were forced back by the impact of their collision.

Guo Zonghuang protected his own junior and continued to stare at the elder. He bellowed, “We'll fight properly now.”

The elder had already calmed down now. He looked at Guo Zonghuang's gaze and became extremely serious, “He's in the Aurous Core Stage. Even if he has a Nascent Soul Stage magic item with him, his mastery is still a little…”

After witnessing the difference between Guo Zonghuang's double palm strike and single palm strike, the elder felt no sense of confidence in his heart.

Guo Zonghuang said, “When our sect was first established, my Senior Granduncles and Junior Granduncle were only in the Aurous Core Stage and they only had a Nascent Soul Stage magic item with them. They met a Beginner Nascent Soul Stage cultivator like you. I'm not as talented as them, but I don't dare to tarnish the reputation of our sect.”

“Now that my junior is not in your hands, I don't have to save anyone, and your hands are freed, we can finally spar properly to see who's better.”

Qin Pengan shouted at this point, “Senior Guo, they have other schemes!”

“Oh?” Guo Zonghuang's gaze turned skeptical and he stared at the elder facing him. The elder only felt as if Guo Zonghuang was becoming more and more of an eyesore to him.
