Yuan Ming did not get annoyed, he calmed his heart and tried several more times in succession, but still ended in failure.

The Space Power near the Boarding Order was too distorted, making it impossible to freely manipulate the Undying Tree Root.

"It seems trickery won't work!" He no longer continued, glanced at the still fighting crowd, and immediately made a certain decision in his heart.

In the next instant, Yuan Ming's figure suddenly shot out, transforming into a whirlwind as he rushed towards the Boarding Order.

The commotion he stirred up was too great, even with the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman, he could not conceal it.

However, Yuan Ming wasn't bothered by this, his figure swift as lightning, he rushed into that space without the slightest pause, directly plunging in.

As soon as he stepped into that area, the distorted Space Power enveloped him.

Yuan Ming only felt a force pulling at his head, drawing it upwards, but another force pulled his legs downwards, and a force behind him seemed to want to swallow up his waist.

At the same time, there was also a force beside him trying to twist him around.

He was like a strand of dough about to be twisted into shape, his muscles were being tugged, and his joints made cracking sounds.

Yuan Ming let out a soft grunt, his blood surged, physical strength exploded out, bursting with indescribable terrifying strength, forcefully breaking through the distortion and obstruction of Space Power, extending his hand through the spaces of the spatial rift, reaching out to grab that Silver Token.

The spatial rifts around the Silver Token were dense and tiny, with no strong distortion power, but sharper than the sharpest blade, his palm just approached, yet it was cut with a hundred wounds.

Were it a normal body, it would have been reduced to mush, however, Yuan Ming had cultivated the Undying Body, the wounds on his hand instantly healed, his five fingers clenched, grabbing the Silver Token tightly.

His figure immediately retracted from that area, swiftly exiting the spatial rift region, and returned to his original position.

All of this seemed long in words, but actually happened in the span of one or two breaths, the cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Hall and Sunset Sect who were still battling immediately sensed something amiss.

Long Hou and Wang Fulong each withdrew their Spiritual Treasures, stopping their disciples, retreating to both sides.

"Where's the Boarding Order? How did it suddenly disappear?" Long Yinkong looked at the empty spatial rift region, shouting in shock and anger.

"Someone appeared just now, I heard the sound of breaking through the air." Long Yuhuan said in a low voice, her gaze sweeping around, her eyes faintly glowing gold, seemingly using a Pupil Technique.

Long Hou's expression was solemn, flipping his hand to summon a golden bell, flicking it with his finger.

Jingling, a circle of golden ripples spread out.

The golden ripple seemed to have a mind of its own, avoiding the people of Sunset Sect, enveloping a range of several tens of feet below.

The others, seeing this, also employed their detection methods.

However, the effect of the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman was such that even Sima Changqin couldn't see through it, let alone those present could detect it.

"The attacks from the spatial rifts are truly terrifying..." Yuan Ming exhaled softly.

He looked fine at the moment, but his Qi-Blood Power was depleted by thirty percent, more than what was consumed in the previous battle with the Great Sun Glaze Flame.

Yuan Ming slightly regulated his breathing but did not leave; instead, he lifted the concealment effect of the Heavenly Escape Stone Talisman.

The sudden appearance of Yuan Ming startled those nearby.

"Wan Tianren, it's you!" Long Hou examined Yuan Ming up and down, his expression seemingly a bit surprised.

Long Yinkong and Long Yuhuan also looked shocked.

The golden bell that Long Hou had just summoned was no ordinary treasure, but the Golden Dragon Bell of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, with the bell sound containing Soul Capturing, Jin Hua, and Shattering Body effects.

Wan Tianren clearly was within the attack range of the bell, yet appeared completely unharmed.

The people of the Sunset Sect, however, were unaware of the Golden Dragon Bell's effects, and seeing that Yuan Ming had now hidden his cultivation once again, only showing the Mana fluctuation of the Returning to Void Stage, a few impatient individuals immediately wanted to act.

Wang Fulong, still somewhat rational, stopped a few and said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Wan, you took advantage of our struggle to reap the benefits as the fisherman, aren't you afraid we will unite to deal with you?"

Yuan Ming paid no attention to Wang Fulong, looking at the three from the Heavenly Dragon Hall: "I'm taking this Boarding Order, do the three of you have any objections?"

Long Yinkong's gaze turned cold, about to speak, but was stopped by Long Hou's stern look.

"The Boarding Order was originally ownerless, it goes to the capable. Since Fellow Daoist Wan has already pocketed it, we naturally have no objections." Long Hou said with a smile.

"Very well, I have some matters to discuss with the few from the Sunset Sect, so I won't keep the three of you here." Yuan Ming unceremoniously issued a dismissal order.

"Farewell." Long Hou cupped his fist at Yuan Ming, turned and flew away.

Long Yuhuan immediately followed, Long Yinkong seemed somewhat unwilling but eventually followed, the three quickly disappearing into the distant mountains.

"Master, although Wan Tianren is troublesome, we could completely take him on with the three of us plus the people from the Sunset Sect, there's no need to retreat like this." Long Yinkong said unwillingly.

Long Yuhuan, standing beside them, didn't speak, occasionally glancing back as if pondering something.

"You still lack steadiness in your temperament, Kong'er. Didn't you notice? Wan Tianren is no longer the same as before." Long Hou said softly.

"Not the same, how so?" Long Yinkong was taken aback.

"Yuhuan, did you see it?" Long Hou did not answer, instead, he looked at Long Yuhuan.

"Wan Tianren previously tried to conceal himself, but his physical body's Qi Blood Power is abnormally strong. He is likely a Body of Wanxiang Body Cultivator. I just used the Spirit Dragon Pupil Technique to observe carefully, and his body seems quite different from before. This person has just retrieved the Boarding Order from countless space fissures without a scratch, and the sound of the Golden Dragon Bell has no effect on him. Combining these clues, I boldly speculate that Wan Tianren must have found the hiding place of the Great Sun Glaze Flame and, using its power, has greatly advanced in Body Cultivation, reaching the realm of the Undying Body," Long Yuhuan said slowly.

"Yuhuan has good insight; this is how I see it too," Long Hou nodded satisfactorily.

Long Yinkong's face turned extremely unpleasant upon realizing the grave mistake he just made.

"Fortunately, he seems to have a conflict with the Sunset Sect and did not trouble us," Long Hou sighed and continued.

He had no desire to be enemies with someone who has cultivated the Undying Body.

"Master, I've heard that it's incredibly difficult for Body Cultivators to break through to the Undying Body. I don't believe that Wan Tianren is really a Loose Cultivator. Can you deduce his sect origin?" Long Yuhuan suddenly asked.

"Body Cultivation in Chuyun Realm is declining, with many passing on secret inheritances. Even I can't discern it," Long Hou shook his head.

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed in Long Yuhuan's eyes.

"Wan Tianren's origin is mysterious, but with his strength exposed, he will not remain unnoticed. The area around the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range will be lively," Long Hou's eyes flickered, and he chuckled.

...

Watching the three from Heavenly Dragon Hall leave obediently, Wang Fulong's expression changed, and countless thoughts raced through his mind.

"Since Fellow Daoist Long Hou admitted this Boarding Order belongs to you, I accept it. Farewell," he said, turning to fly in another direction.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, didn't I just say that I have something to discuss with you all?" A ghostly figure of Yuan Ming once again blocked Wang Fulong's path.

"Such speed..." Wang Fulong's eye twitched, his expression slightly changing.

The other cultivators of the Sunset Sect couldn't discern Yuan Ming's strength due to their less acute vision, each one seething with anger.

"How dare you! Wan Tianren, you are merely a Returning to Void Cultivator and dare to disrespect our Sunset Sect Sect Leader!"

"Hand over the Boarding Order and surrender; you'll still have a whole corpse left!"

A tall and a short cultivator from Sunset Sect leaped with fury, their faces full of wrath.

"Noise!" Impatience flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, and he flicked his fingers.

"Wang Zhen, Du Ke, be careful!" Wang Fulong exclaimed, warning the two most vocal disciples of the Sunset Sect.

Startled, the two swiftly erected several protective shields in succession while activating their Protective Spiritual Treasures.

However, with several crisp "puff puff" sounds, the defensive shields around them shattered, and their Protective Spiritual Treasures were knocked away.

The two were horrified; as they were about to react, their heads suddenly "bang" exploded, scattering red and white matter everywhere.

The necks of the two headless corpses sprayed blood wildly and collapsed stiffly.

The other Returning to Void Cultivators of Sunset Sect were greatly shocked, hurriedly retreating to a distance, not daring to utter a word.

"Such power, Fellow Daoist Wan, you've already advanced to the Undying Body Realm!" Wang Fulong said in a deep voice.

Only now did he realize Yuan Ming's hidden card. Considering this, the death of the Black River Four Foes wasn't unjust at all.

"Just a minor trick, pardon my humble display, Fellow Daoist Wang," Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Wan is jesting. If the Undying Body is a minor trick, then we have no face to show ourselves. May I know what Fellow Daoist Wan wishes to discuss by blocking our path?" Wang Fulong forced a smile and asked.

"Why pretend, Fellow Daoist Wang? I have searched the souls of the Black River Four Foes; there's no point in arguing," Yuan Ming said coldly.

Wang Fulong hesitated, looking troubled:

"Fellow Daoist Wan, I admit, the Black River Four Foes were arranged by our Sunset Sect, but we were compelled to do so, forced into enmity with you."

"I believe your explanation; if you tell me who instructed you, I might spare your life," Yuan Ming's expression unchanged, spoke slowly.

"This... I cannot comply. The other party is someone that our Sunset Sect cannot offend, and likewise, someone you cannot afford to offend, Fellow Daoist Wan. If Fellow Daoist Wan doesn't pursue this matter further, I am willing to mediate and turn hostility into friendship, how about it?" Wang Fulong clasped his fists and said.

Yuan Ming sneered, uninterested in further words, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed down.

Wang Fulong and the others felt a sudden darkness overhead. Looking up, they saw an enormous hand covering the sky, filled with layers of black light, pressing down on them—it was the Great Black Sky God Palm.

A powerful force of Divine Soul Power instantly enveloped them, causing their hearts to tremble.

Although Wang Fulong hadn't predicted Yuan Ming's sudden attack, he was somewhat prepared.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, do you really choose punishment over a toast? Though I am unworthy, I am not easy to provoke!" Seeing the Great Black Sky God Palm pressing down, he shouted in anger.

After all, Wang Fulong was a Dharma Phase Cultivator; with his anger rising, he lost some fear and gained some fury.

As he spoke, outside his body, the cyan light gathered, and an enormous Dharma manifestation rose from the ground, directly confronting the Great Black Sky God Palm pressing down from above.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the midst of a series of explosions, the Great Black Sky God Palm was shattered by the hundred-zhang tall majestic Dharma manifestation, the black light scattering.

Yuan Ming sighed internally, realizing his Soul Cultivation Realm was lagging, and the power of the Great Black Sky God Palm was starting to fall short.
