C1219 Examination
In fact, Yang Junshan had long suspected where Ling Xiao Hall, and even the entire immortal palace, was located in this world.
In the past, there were rumors in the cultivation world that the Celestial Palace had been in the Ruins of Buried Heavens, but after the great change happened, the Heavenly Palace was destroyed and seemed to still be related to Daofather Jiuren. Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to move to another Immortal's Palace, leaving behind a rocky area known as the Ruins of Buried Heavens.
After the thunder tribulation, Yang Junshan had refined the will of heaven and earth. He had sensed a certain place in the void, but he just couldn't confirm it yet.
Now that he had stepped into the Heaven's Expanse Palace, he was able to confirm that the place where he had sensed the lightning tribulation in the sky was most likely the Heaven's Expanse Palace without a doubt.
It was just that he did not expect that the entire Soaring Sky Hall was actually relying on an independent space world opened and supported by a single array.
Yang Junshan looked at the female cultivator before him, and suddenly laughed: "So you have found out that this place is for the formation. Are you trying to test me?"
The female cultivator looked at Yang Junshan meaningfully and said, "You have indeed discovered the hidden traces of array formation in Lingxiao Hall. You are indeed worthy of being a grandmaster of array formation."
Yang Junshan humbly said, "You flatter me, master. If I'm not wrong, you have also reached the Grandmaster Realm in array dao, haven't you?"
The female cultivator smiled, neither admitting nor denying. She cupped her hands, as if returning Yang Junshan's question from before, and said, "Qiu Lingyi greets Fellow Daoist Yang, and thanks for the love everyone has for calling me Daoist Qiu."
Yang Junshan knew that he must have gotten the other party's approval. Although Yang Junshan did not care much about the exam, there was no need to openly offend the other party. Yang Junshan knew that he should have gotten the other party's approval, even though Yang Junshan did not care much about the exam.
"Hmph," A cold snort suddenly sounded out, and the tone was filled with disdain: "Ling Xiao Hall was created in the void by relying on a large spatial formation, this is something that everyone knows, what's so special about it? "Fellow Daoist Qiu, why must you be submissive in trying to please a junior?"
Yang Junshan restrained the smile on his face when he heard this. He looked towards the direction of the voice, and in his ears he heard the voice of Daoist Qiu Lingyi saying, "Otherwise, Fellow Yang Bai is also a master of arrays. When she first entered Lingxiao Hall, did she notice any traces of a spatial formation?"
The expression of the old man who was questioned by the Daoist Master Qiu Lin Yi froze for a moment, then he snorted coldly and said, "This old man had just arrived at the Hall of Soaring Sky at that time, I can't see that this spatial formation belongs to him too."
Saying this, Daoist Yang Bai's expression once again froze. She looked at Daoist Qiu's mischievous smile and was unable to speak. She could only snort coldly and no longer speak.
Yang Junshan's gaze never left this Taoist Yang Bai. If he remembered correctly, when he followed Daoist Jiu Yin to the Stellar Cliff, on his way back, he was ambushed by two of the greatest divine powers of the Hall of the Nine Heavens Palace. At that time, Daoist Jiu Ming had called these two by their first names, one was Taoist Yang Bai, the other was Daoist Jiu Dan.
However, Yang Junshan's cultivation was still below his level at the time. He had seen Daoist Nine Supremes fighting with these two, but he had not seen their true forms. This time, he had at least seen Daoist Yang Bai.
Taoist Yang Bai was completely speechless after being robbed by Daoist Qiu, but Yang Junshan was still unwilling to let this person go. Sneering coldly, she said, "Taoist Yang Bai?" "I remember that back then, there was a Ten Daoists. I still remember the actions of the two of you!"
Daoist Yang Bai was still in a fit of rage, and Yang Junshan once again sent out a burst of strange Yin energy. He immediately took two steps towards Yang Junshan as his aura immediately rose. He said in a deep voice, "Kid, what did you say?"
If it was before his tribulation, Yang Junshan was truly afraid of facing Dao Ancestor Huang Ting. However, after advancing to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, Yang Junshan's cultivation techniques all underwent a qualitative change. His strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
Although he had only sparred with Qian Xuandao for a short period of time, it had allowed him to see the true strength of the Golden Hall's Daofather. Now that he had come to the Hall of Soaring Heavens, all sorts of powerful cultivators harbored malicious intents; this was when Yang Junshan was making a name for himself.
Yang Junshan would not allow him to do as he wished. He also took three steps forward towards Yang Bai. With each step, not only did his aura soar, his body also expanded by three inches.
With three steps, Yang Junshan's white body expanded by a third of a meter. Facing Yang Bai, he looked down on him, and at the same time, his aura had risen to the same level as the Yang Bai. Even though he had not reached his limit, he was still on the verge of rising.
The tense atmosphere between the two of them instantly became tense.
At this time, Daoist Qiu faintly smiled and suddenly pushed away from the two, but he did not forget to say, "You two, don't blame me for not reminding you that fights are not allowed in Lingxiao Hall!"
How could Taoist Yang Bai have expected Yang Junshan's strength to actually reach such a level? Although there were rumors saying that Qian Xuanzhan and Yang Junshan didn't get an easy fight, but since Qian Xuandao had never directly responded to this matter, many people in Lingxiao Hall believed that it was Yang Junshan who was bragging.
However, in this battle of aura, Daoist Yang Bai immediately understood that the reason why Qian Xuandao did not respond to this matter was not because of her disdain, but because she was afraid of losing face. The rumors from earlier were most likely true; that Yang Junshan did indeed have the ability to flatten Qian Xuantao during a spar.
He was a dignified Dao Ancestor of the Golden Hall, naturally, he couldn't lower his head in front of a new Dao Lord Lei, so he had no other choice but to compete with Yang Junshan in momentum. He hoped that under the circumstances where he couldn't suppress Yang Junshan in an instant, he could rely on his foundation as the Dao Ancestor of the Golden Hall to gain the upper hand in a battle of endurance.
What she didn't know was that with a cultivation base that was higher than her opponent's by a level and with hundreds of years of accumulation, she still wasn't able to gain the upper hand in an instant. Yang Bai's face was already thrown away, and the longer the battle continued, the more face Yang Bai would lose.
However, what made Yang Bai even more embarrassed was that as time passed, not only did the number of cultivators paying attention to this matter increase, but Yang Bai also realized that he couldn't even fight back against Yang Junshan's imposing aura.
Yang Junshan's aura was solemn and heavy like the mountains and earth. Initially, it felt like this, but the more time passed, the more obvious his advantage became. Thus, Yang Bai was wrong about using up energy from the very beginning.
As the stalemate between the two lengthened, Yang Junshan's imposing aura didn't weaken in the slightest, instead, it became stronger and stronger, and gradually, he turned around and started to suppress Yang Bai, causing his old face to turn red. No one knew if it was due to embarrassment or something else.1
Just then, a cold snort came from the surrounding crowd, followed by an old yet somewhat familiar voice, "Hmph, these juniors nowadays like to suppress us old fellows to establish their might when they come to Lingxiao Hall. This old man is the 'Tenth Dan'. I heard that you had previously said that you wanted to take revenge on this old man.
Saying this, a strand of Qi pressed forward. It merged with Daoist Yang Bai's imposing manner and instantly helped Daoist Yang Bai, who was already at a disadvantage, to change her dejected attitude.
This was a 2v1 situation, and two of them were even suppressing a new disciple of the Thunder Tribulation Realm in the Golden Hall. It was clear that the old were still bullying the young!
However, that Tenth Year Daoist was also thinking of using words to force Yang Junshan into a conflict with the old man, and then using the new man's desire to suppress the old man and use the old man as an excuse to gain his support and sympathy. Although this made many people feel disgust, no one in the crowd actually spoke a word to stop him.
To put it bluntly, besides the insult from the Daoist, there was another reason as they were also curious about how far Yang Junshan could go. Of course, this didn't exclude the fact that some people wanted to use others to suppress Yang Junshan.
However, the development of the truth caused everyone to widen their eyes!
No one had thought that even after Yang Junshan had suppressed Taoist Yang Bai, he still had some energy left!
When that Ten Daoists interfered and shamelessly teamed up with Daoist Yang Bai, their explosive aura was the same. Yang Junshan had no choice but to use his full strength.
As a result, even though the two of them worked together, they didn't gain the upper hand in the first place. After Yang Junshan fought with the two of them alone for a while, the two young men finally got to be stronger than Yang Junshan.
However, it ended there!
It was like a strong wind blowing the boulders on a mountain, but it could not shake the mountain. It was like a flood that could wreak havoc on the land but would eventually gather back into the river.
Even if the two of them worked together to gain the upper hand, it would be impossible for them to destroy Yang Junshan's momentum and humiliate him in front of so many powerful cultivators.
Even after several confrontations with Yang Junshan's aura, he was still wary of the aftereffects of Yang Junshan's aura.
Thinking up to this point, the two Golden Hall's Daofathers seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. They retracted their auras at almost the same time, ending this battle that they had not lost, but had won instead.
Yang Junshan smirked and cupped his hands with an inexplicable tone, "You two, I, Yang, will appreciate it!"
