"Hmm? Mi Bao, what supreme skill have you comprehended? During your imprisonment, this was also a kind of tempering for you. I know you have made a lot of progress, and before your father, the Treasure Master, encountered his tribulation during ascension, he struck a streak of the essential Great Dao will of his lifelong cultivation base into your body. That is why your cultivation base could advance by leaps and bounds."
Hearing "Dao Lord Dongling's" words, Zu Qingting's eyes lit up, and he nodded toward Mi Bao, "Let me see, and let the various Dao Lords of my Taishang Jiuqing Tian also see, exactly what level your cultivation has reached?"
"Since the Supreme Headmaster wishes to see, then I shall demonstrate the highest supreme skill of our Taishang Jiuqing Tian, the Origin Divine Fist." Mi Bao took a deep look at Fang Han, and suddenly her body floated into the air, simply like the Great Dao in the sky, suspended in the void. An inexplicable power was extracted from the Heaven Realm and blessed upon her.
With her as the center, a ring of vital energy comparable to the Qi of Creation seeped over like a trickling stream, brewing within her body. Suddenly, she spread her hands, and the countless void Qi around her began to flow. Thousands of worlds behind her began to sprout and originate.
A power that no words could describe bloomed out, like the very moment the universe first opened. The power of origin spread throughout the cosmos, over hundreds of millions of billions of spaces, boundless in all directions. Immediately after, amidst this power of origin, Mi Bao formed a mudra with her hands, looking like a heart embryo, like a flower bud, like a chicken egg, and also like a great world.
"The power of origin!"
"Is this the legendary power of origin? The highest supreme skill of our Taishang Jiuqing Tian requires one to successfully cultivate the Endless Origin before they can comprehend it and extract the power of origin from the void. Even the Supreme Headmaster has not been able to comprehend it, and none of our various Dao Lords, Guardian Dharma Kings, and the Left and Right Vice Sect Masters have been able to comprehend it. How could this Mi Bao be able to comprehend it."
"No mistake, it is the power of origin, absolutely genuine!"
"The number one ultimate killer move of our Taishang Jiuqing Tian. Endless Origin, how could it be learned by her?"
"Even if one thoroughly understood the cultivation secret methods, it would be impossible to cultivate it. Once this move is successfully cultivated, it can be said to be earth-shattering. Killing enemies beyond one's realm would not be a difficult task."
…
Seeing Mi Bao execute this move, the power of origin bursting forth from her body could match Fang Han's power of creation. Only the highest supreme skill of Taishang Jiuqing Tian, the Origin Divine Fist, could rival the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist. Regrettably, this power of origin had actually been comprehended by Mi Bao.
"It truly is the power of origin! The Origin Divine Fist, the first killer move, Endless Origin." Even the Supreme Headmaster of Taishang Jiuqing Tian, Zu Qingting's body suddenly stood ramrod straight as he looked at Mi Bao with incredulous eyes.
"The people of the Tianya Faction, taking advantage of my father's death, seized power over Fenbao Rock, attempting to occupy the Cultivation Great World. Ya Wuben, my father actually calculated long ago that he would encounter a massive tribulation, so he struck the Dao brand of his bitter cultivation into my body, and also allowed the artifact spirit of Fenbao Rock to thoroughly fuse with me. This allowed my accumulation to reach its peak, eventually connecting with the legendary power of origin, and communicating with the will of the Immortal King of Origin in the unseen world to extract the true meaning of origin and cultivate the Origin Divine Fist. Ya Wuben! I will tell you right now, I, Mi Bao, will sooner or later return to the Cultivation Great World, inherit my father's will, and control the Cultivation Great World. I cannot let your Tianya Haige act with utter disregard for the law and morality."
Mi Bao suddenly punched through the air, striking directly toward Ya Wuben.
No one could describe the might of this punch. At this moment, all time came to a standstill, as if the concepts of time and space between heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and all rules vanished, returning to before the origin.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
In the unseen world, arrays of clear sounds rang out. It was the Great Dao's clear tone born when heaven and earth first opened and the origin forged all living things.
Ya Wuben's expression changed, his hand seals changing repeatedly. He pushed forward with his left hand, gripped the Tianya Holy Dao Ruler with his right hand, and shook it in the air. With a popping sound, he received this punch head-on, yet his body retreated three steps.
Meanwhile, Mi Bao retracted all the power of origin around her back into her body, acting completely as if nothing had happened.
But this single punch was enough to display her strength. With her current cultivation level of a True Immortal, to clash punches head-on with Ya Wuben, who was a full level higher at the peak of Heaven Immortal and possessed an immortal artifact, and actually knock the opponent back—no one doubted the might of the Origin Divine Fist anymore.
"Little girl, you want to take back the Cultivation Great World? It's still too early! It is fortunate that your father, the Treasure Master, died early. Otherwise, even if he were around, our Tianya Faction would still invade in full force, and at that time, your father and daughter would fall together." Ya Wuben let out continuous hideous laughs, like a demon. He had now completely torn off all pretenses, knowing that the moment Fang Han appeared, his son marrying Mi Bao had become a bubble of illusion. Now he only thought about how to exact revenge, kill Fang Han and Mi Bao, and deal a tremendous blow to the Zaohua Gate.
"What shameless boasting! Could it be that your Tianya Faction hasn't learned enough of a lesson?" Fang Han sneered, showing obvious disdain, "I will declare right here and now, if your Tianya Faction does not withdraw from the Cultivation Great World within one month, I will personally go, destroy Tianya Haige, and slaughter the Tianya Faction. When the time comes, you just wait for the final judgment to descend."
"Issuing a final ultimatum."
As soon as Fang Han said these words, a chill ran through the hearts of the many experts of both Taishang Jiuqing Tian and the Tianya Faction. For a figure like Fang Han, every word he spoke meant he would definitely see it through. If Tianya Haige did not retreat from the Cultivation Great World after a month, and Fang Han came knocking, there really would be no experts who could stop him.
For a figure like him, only a true god or immortal could block his path. Furthermore, now that his wife Mi Bao had also cultivated the Origin Divine Fist, greatly increasing her strength, the two of them joining forces to sweep across Tianya Haige and even the entire Tianya Faction—as long as a few ancient fossils did not emerge—would probably truly not be a difficult task.
"I, Dongling Fei, as Mi Bao's master, naturally must uphold justice. Her father, the Treasure Master, was originally the盟主 [leader of the alliance] of the Cultivation Great World. Although he encountered punishment from the Immortal Realm and died directly, his legacy must be inherited by her. Your Tianya Faction taking the opportunity to pillage is truly enough to rouse the wrath of both men and gods."
When Dao Lord Dongling, this youthful Heaven Immortal girl, spoke, it was incomparably tough.
With these three joining forces, their power increased by another layer.
"Good, very good. It seems today is the day your Taishang Jiuqing Tian completely collapses with the Tianya Faction. Moving forward, it can only be resolved through a bloody battle. Zu Qingting, what is your intention?" Ya Wuben's voice was shrill: "To fight or to make peace, it all rests upon one word from you."
"What is peace? What is fight?" Zu Qingting was still caught in the shock of Mi Bao connecting with the power of origin. Carefully pondering it over, he opened his mouth and asked.
"Peace means you sever the relationship between Zaohua Gate and Taishang Jiuqing Tian, and join hands with our Tianya Faction to suppress this demonic evildoer. In that way, our two factions uniting will make everyone happy. Fight means your Taishang Jiuqing Tian and Zaohua Gate unite, and then go to war with my Tianya Faction." Ya Wuben said viciously, "It all depends on a single word from you, Supreme Headmaster Zu Qingting. You say the word 'fight', and we will leave immediately, and you can just wait for an endless slaughter that will dye the starry sky in blood."
"Do you think you can easily walk away?"
Fang Han spoke up again, and this time, his words severely startled everyone, "I'm meant to exterminate your Tianya Haige. Today, right here with so many experts present, it is exactly the right time for me to catch you all in one net, and yet you still have the pipe dream of walking away and going back to prepare for war? Do you think I, the Gate Master of the Zaohua Gate, am just for show?"
"What? You're going to make a move!" Ya Wuben roared wildly, "Fang Han, do not push people too far! You do not yet have the ability to definitively keep us here. Zu Qingting! Are you really going to allow this? Doing so will provoke the antique-level experts from our two factions to step out."
"Zaohua Gate Master, when two kingdoms are at war, they do not execute the envoys." Zu Qingting said to Fang Han, "This is the territory of my Taishang Jiuqing Tian. I hope you will not go too far. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for Taishang Jiuqing Tian, your Zaohua Gate, or the Tianya Faction."
"Is that so? If I, Fang Han, want to make a move, no one can stop me." Fang Han stood with his hands behind his back, his posture like a spear, naturally exuding an imposing aura capable of holding up the firmament. Everyone's movements were tied to his words out of fear he might strike. "However, since you have handed Mi Bao over to me, I will give Taishang Jiuqing Tian face and allow the people of the Tianya Faction to leave."
"Let's go! We're leaving!" Seeing this scene, Ya Wuben knew they could not linger here for too long, otherwise, if this god of slaughter Fang Han changed his mind and began a massacre, they would certainly suffer heavy casualties.
"See our guests out!" Zu Qingting also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He waved his hand directly, opening up a massive passageway, sending all the people of the Tianya Faction out.
With a flash, Ya Wuben and the rest disappeared, far away from the mountain gates and central altar of Taishang Jiuqing Tian.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, Mi Bao is an outstanding disciple of my Taishang Jiuqing Tian…" Zu Qingting started to speak after seeing the people of the Tianya Faction leave, but who would have known that Fang Han would wave his hand directly and cut his words off, "Don't bother with unnecessary words. I don't care which sect Mi Bao is a disciple of; she is my wife, and I will naturally take her away, along with her property. Your Taishang Jiuqing Tian must also return Fenbao Rock and cannot embezzle it for yourselves. Otherwise, I, Fang Han, will only have to use some measures to resolve it."
"Insolent!"
Hua Zixu suddenly shouted explosively, "Fenbao Rock is an item of the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm sent down a talisman decree long ago, ordering our Taishang Jiuqing Tian to confiscate it, inspect it, and send it back to the Immortal Realm. Fang Han, do not reach for a yard after taking an inch. If you offend the Immortal Realm, the consequences will be unimaginable. We have already shown extreme benevolence and righteousness by letting Mi Bao meet with you. This Mi Bao is still a disciple of our Taishang Jiuqing Tian, and in a few days, she will be sent into the Immortal Realm. We will report the matter of her comprehending the Origin Divine Fist to the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm will definitely let her ascend directly. To tell you the truth, you and she won't be able to stay together for many days. Although your mana is high and you have a few treasures, compared to the Immortal Realm, you are still nothing but a straw dog. Could it be that you would dare to defy the will of the Immortal Realm?"
