History’s Number 1 Founder 1436 Great Void Sect's Internal Conflic

As Luo Qingwu and Tang Jun watched, a black and white current hovered over continuously the pinnacle of Mount Baiyun. It blanketed the entire heaven and earth and formed an immense formation.

In the center of the formation, there are twelve faint light orbs. From within them, twelve strands of light could be observed. They pierced through the heaven and earth, extending into the void in the distance, as if they were connected to the entire Divine Lands.

An abundance of spiritual energy also converged to the formation on top of Mount Baiyun, from all directions.

Luo Qingwu and Tang Jun felt as if a pair of eyes had appeared above Mount Baiyun, in the void, surveilling over the Greater Worlds.

Outside the formation, there was a pristine white cloud afloat. That cloud seemed to be just a few square acres big. Compared to the fully operational Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, the size of it was tiny, and seemingly insignificant, let alone in comparison with the expansive heaven and earth.

However, rays of sharp golden light beamed out from Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, landing on that cloud. Though the cloud was fluffy and scattered, there was an underlying current brooding. Moreover, the cloud never really dissipated at all. Even its volume did not even shrink.

Although she did not experience firsthand Hades Clan's siege of Mount Baiyun during the war between the two realms, Luo Qingwu saw the images that her master, Lin Feng, projected for her. As such, she had seen Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation before and was able to read the situation. She thought, "indeed, its energy level was lower than during the War. Besides…"

She looked downwards a bit and noticed that under the spell formation, the clouds surrounding Mount Baiyun had dispersed entirely, while Mount Baiyun still stood tall on the ground of the Divine Lands.

"Just like Xiling City, Mount Baiyun's internal energy has been severely depleted, hence it can't even summon Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces. Not to mention that all those left guarding Great Void Sect are mostly likely below Vipralopa stage," thought Luo Qingwu as she nodded, "besides Tai Yi Holy Man, everyone else, including Zheng Yi Holy Man, Xuan Yi Holy Man and the current leader of the sect, Lin Daohan, who possesses the Great Void Seal, have probably left for the Spirit Sea."

As she thought to herself, Luo Qingwu curiously inspected the pristine white cloud, which was wrestling with Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

Tang Jun also looked over there. Obviously, the cloud was manifested by Heavenly Born Holy Man, or rather, Tang Wenhua.

As the cloud challenged Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, it was constantly being dispelled but it also constantly regrouped, in the process inching closer towards Mount Baiyun.

The golden light and cloud's aura intertwined in the void, betraying a feeling that the both of them were well versed about each other's abilities.

Heavenly Born Holy Man had considerable knowledge of Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation. Whereas the followers of Great Void Sect also knew the same about Heavenly Born Holy Man, as he also inherited Great Void powers.

Back during the Middle Ages, when Heavenly Born Holy Man deserted, he had already surpa.s.sed Vipralopa stage and was one of the strongest elders in Great Void Sect. In terms of seniority, he came generations before the likes of Tai Yi Holy Man, Zheng Yi Holy Man, and Xuan Yi Holy Man.

In present day, although he was yet to go through Second Tribulation of Destiny, his magical spell powers could indeed be regarded as divine.

That white cloud, seemingly devoid of any aggression, casual and light, did not stop advancing as it paced towards Mount Baiyun.

As a powerful Vipralopa Great Sect follower, he clearly had a deeper understanding of spells than Kuang Heng. Coupled with his vast knowledge of Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, he was having an upper hand right then.

After a moment of spectating, Luo Qingwu realized and said, "our sect perfected the formulae for 'Great' and 'Void', causing a series of chain reactions in the lands. Not only did the cultivators of Mount Baiyun's Great Void Sect benefit, but Heavenly Born Holy Man also reaped many benefits. Although the impact was not profound, it was enough to give him a significant advantage.

"Naturally, Mount Baiyun should have been the biggest beneficiary of this. But right now, their advantage was limited. Especially since those staying back and defending Mount Baiyun are of lower stages than Heavenly Born Holy Man," she said.

Staring at the cloud, Tang Jun said, "ma'am, the mastery of Heavenly Born Holy Man, it seems…"

Luo Qingwu nodded, giving him an affirmative reply. She said, "with such gains, he who is almost at a bottleneck might have been emboldened to undergo the Second Tribulation of Destiny. However, even if he successfully pa.s.ses the Second Tribulation of Destiny, he would be plagued by poor health for a while. As such, he would have missed this opportunity where the strongest of Great Void Sect entered the Spirit Sea and leaving Mount Baiyun hollower than ever.

Tang Jun frowned slightly, and asked, "even if he was after Supreme Heavenly Mirror, as Emperor of the Dead was, Supreme Heavenly Mirror is also inside the Spirit Sea right now and is missing front Mount Baiyun. What then, did he come here for?"

As he spoke, the cloud had successfully entered the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation. The white cloud slowly dispersed, revealing a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was unbelievably handsome, with a mature, yet serene aura. Donning a white rob, his sleeves were embroidered with Great Void Sect's coat of arm, a white cloud.

The appearance of this person were different from the projected image of Tang Wenhua that Tang Jun saw previously. The facial features did not bear any resemblance at all.

But looking at this man, Tang Jun could almost instantly ascertain that this man and Tang Wenhua are the same person.

Tang Wenhua was just an avatar created by this man.

As if he could sense Tang Jun's curious gaze, Heavenly Born Holy Man turned around and looked over into the void at Luo Qingwu and Tang Jun.

Luo Qingwu and Tang Jun sat still on top of Crucible of the Divine Lands. The both did not make a move and their expression remained exactly the same. They were veiled behind the void as they silently watched over Mount Baiyun.

Heavenly Born Holy Man's smile widened, making him seem all the more unpredictable. But in his eyes, his gaze was tranquil like still water, without any ripples.

He turned back, concentrating his attention once more on Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation and smiled. He said, "Kuang Heng, are you presiding over the formation? It seems that your mastery level has improved considerably over these years."

As he spoke, his body s.h.i.+mmered with Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. After a swipe of his hand in the void, a door appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

Indeed, it was the first of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells - Zhong Heavens Gate.

When the door opens, there is a way out. When the door closes, every path is shut off.

This spell is the first of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, and it is also the most fundamental spell. But when it was casted by Heavenly Born Holy Man, it was simple yet meaningful, full of mysticism.

As the door of light opened, it was as if it really paved a way for him through Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, into the Great Void Sect.

A mysterious light glowed around Heavenly Born Holy Man, blocking off the attack from Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, as he casually walked towards the Zhong Heavens Gate.

As he leaped ahead, he was ever closer to his descent on Mount Baiyun.

Inside the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, the group of Great Void Sect left defending, with Kuang Heng as their leader, upon seeing the situation, looked at one another in uncertainty.

Subsequently, the twelve followers at once triggered a spell, from above, pointing downwards at Mount Baiyun beneath.

Inside the formation, torrents of light rolled. Then like a storm, streaks of black and white crossed, and blinking rays of golden light rained upon Mount Baiyun, shrouding Heavenly Born Holy Man within it too.

Meanwhile, Mount Baiyun suddenly trembled violently, as torrents of spiritual light soared towards the sky, forming a stark contrast with the rain of light that was falling from above.

As Heavenly Born Holy Man was stuck in the middle of it, his action was instantly delayed.

The Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light surrounding him blinked rapidly, then gradually dimmed, in the torrential rain of light.

Heavenly Holy Man's expression did not change. He smiled and said, "as expected, you have prepared for my arrival. But sadly, Tai Yi, Zheng Yi, Xuan Yi or the current leader of the sect aren't present. If just one of them was here, I would have retreated today. Unfortunately, Kuang Heng and the rest of you are no match for me."

Before he finished his sentence, a black and white energy current beamed out from around his body, like two outraged dragons, circulating him endlessly.

These two currents intertwined around Heavenly Born Holy Man, gradually turning into a half black and half white cloud, enveloping Heavenly Born Holy Man's entire body.

Within the cloud, Heavenly Born Holy Man's seemingly emotionless eyes looked up at Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation above him. From his iris, a faint golden light radiated away.

As the cloud defended him, the golden light broke through the cloud and swirled in mid air, absorbing the rain of light that washed over him.

Heavenly Born Holy Man's figure continued on the descent to Mount Baiyun. Though the speed was r.e.t.a.r.ded considerably, and sometimes he even had to push and pull, dodge and parry, he still never stopped descending onto Mount Baiyun.

Inside the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, Kuang Heng and the rest changed to another spell once they saw the situation.

The torrential rain of light falling down slowly started to converge and condense, turning into an extremely grand and tall pillar of light, exerting immense pressure on the golden whorl on top of Heavenly Born Holy Man, gradually breaking through it.

On the other hand, the rays of spiritual life given off by Mount Baiyun also progressively converged, becoming ever more intense and robust, tirelessly attempting to pierce through the black and white cloud that was protecting Heavenly Born Holy Man.

Heavenly Born Holy Man looked at this indifferently, not once stopping his descent. In that moment, both parties were at a stalemate, pus.h.i.+ng and pulling at each other. It all rested on whether Heavenly Born Holy Man lands on Mount Baiyun first, or Heng Kuang and company could breach his defensive spell before that happens.

When that black and white cloud was merely a few feet away from Mount Baiyun, Heng Kuang suddenly raised his hand and activated a spell tag.

That spell tag s.h.i.+mmered in the void, and turned into dust, fusing into the humongous light pillar that Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation triggered.

The pillar of light was no longer so blindingly bright, but it instead seemed more mysterious, while Mount Baiyun beneath it also trembled more violently. As a bright light pervaded, a mirage of Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces appeared.

Both ent.i.ties from above and below, sandwiched Heavenly Born Holy Man in between. Countless divine spell inscriptions flashed, undoing Heavenly Born Holy Man's restrictive spells.

Heavenly Born Holy Man frowned slightly. Although the spell power of his opponent did not increase significantly, the restraining effect on him was especially p.r.o.nounced.

He smiled wryly, and thought, "could it be Tai Yi?"

He was that close to Mount Baiyun, but Heavenly Born Holy Man's protective barrier already gave in, beginning to collapse.

Heavenly Born Holy Man let out a long sigh, then his figure fluttered as one of him seemed to become two. From his body, a hologram that looked exactly like him was produced.

The a.s.sault from Great Void Sect's followers broke through and striked at Heavenly Born Holy Man. That hologram actively moved forward and was vanquished.

But Heng Kuang and the rest suddenly frowned, as they witnessed Heavenly Born Holy Man, like a wisp of smoke, dodged the attack and continued forward to Mount Baiyun!

The spells in his hands changed, as his held left hand upright before his chest and used his right hand to smack the peak of Mount Baiyun.

Mount Baiyun, which was already slowly morphing into Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces, suddenly gained a renewed calmness, erected above the earth of Divine Lands. Whereas Heavenly Born Holy Man's figure s.h.i.+mmered and entered the mountain.
