Celestial artifact!
The compass was taken aback.
He swung his hand again and struck out with a palm, still a huge cyan handprint. This time, the handprint smashed the already dimmed thunder dragon into pieces.
The compass rose into the air, raised its left hand, and slapped its head, pulling out a green gourd from its primordial spirit. The green gourd was initially smaller than a palm, but after being thrown by the compass, it grew to ten zhang in size.
A blue hurricane surged out of the gourd, connecting heaven and earth, with several dragon-like spirits roaring within it.
With A Yao's keen eyesight, she could naturally tell that this dragon was not a real dragon, at most it had a faint bloodline.
However, the hurricane's destructive power was also astonishing. Wherever it went, the mountain peaks were blown apart like powder, and all the mud and sand were swept into the hurricane.
Seeing this, Nangong Qi's fingers flew across the strings as he began to play.
Amidst the rising winds and surging clouds, silver snakes danced wildly in the sky, and bolts of spring thunder struck down from the heavens. Hundreds of silver lightning bolts, each thicker than an arm, coalesced into a silver-white thunder dragon hundreds of feet long, colliding with the incredibly destructive azure hurricane.
Rumble—
The sound was deafening. The moment the thunder dragon collided with the hurricane, countless silver snakes of lightning shot wildly in all directions, and countless bolts of lightning surged within the entire hurricane. The dragon in the hurricane let out a shrill scream, the blue hurricane vanished, and the thunder dragon, its body churning, was about to dissipate.
Nangong Qi's zither music became more urgent, and the thunder dragon's dim body suddenly solidified, carrying terrifying lightning power as it attacked the compass.
With a cold snort, he pointed his finger at the ten-zhang-tall cyan gourd and cast a spell.
After the cyan gourd trembled, it hung upside down and spewed out a large amount of cyan light. The cyan light swept up the silver-white thunder dragon, and the dragon's body shrank abruptly, being directly sucked into the gourd.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Qi flew out from the airship. His figure was as elegant as a white crane. He held a zither in one hand and plucked the strings with the other. Circles of sound waves shot towards the compass. There were dense air blades in these sound waves. Upon seeing this, the compass immediately used its supernatural power to block the sound waves.
Nangong Qi, dressed in flowing white robes, moved with an ethereal grace that captivated countless female cultivators present. Not only were the female disciples of the Tianshan Sect mesmerized, but the female disciples of the Qinglian Sect were also deeply moved, their cheeks flushed.
Boom! Boom!
Nangong Qi and the compass transformed into two long rainbows that clashed in the air, their spiritual light flashing and their energy surging.
"Sect Leader, Elder Nangong has only recently advanced to the Void Refinement stage. I'm afraid he's no match for the one in the compass!" Ye Qinghua said to Ayao. Ye Qinghua was already at the peak of the early Void Refinement stage. She had been in the Void Refinement stage for two thousand years, so it was not surprising that she could tell that Nangong Qi had only recently advanced.
Ayao smiled and said, "It's precisely because I've only recently advanced that I need to spar with experts in the Void Refinement stage."
Ayao searched Nangong Qi's soul twice, especially the first time, which she did with exceptional thoroughness. It could be said that she knew more about Nangong Qi than even his mother. She knew Nangong Qi was no match for the compass, but she also knew how many magical treasures he possessed; even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't suffer a major loss.
It's always a good thing to spar with cultivators of the same level and gain more experience!
She was watching closely the whole time; nothing unexpected could have happened.
On the Qinglian Sect's side, Elder Bai and Elder Chen communicated telepathically.
Elder Bai: "That kid has only recently entered the Void Refinement stage, but his magic weapons are powerful; he actually has two immortal artifacts!"
Elder Bai was green with envy.
“They still wouldn’t be a match for the sect leader,” Elder Chen said.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shockwaves crashed and destroyed the mountain.
Both Nangong Qi and the compass revealed their Dharma forms. Just as Ye Qinghua and the others had predicted, Nangong Qi was no match for the compass. After the two exchanged a palm strike, Nangong Qi's figure flew backward, and A Yao transformed into a purple streak of light and flew towards Nangong Qi.
Ayao flashed behind Nangong Qi, placing one hand on his back and transmitting a gentle force to stabilize him.
“A-Yao”.
Nangong Qi looked at A Yao with surprise. His face was a little pale, but he was fine.
High in the sky, a young, handsome man, as if descended from heaven, and a peerless girl in purple stood together, a perfect couple, a feast for the eyes. The girl's hand rested on the man's back, their bodies close together, displaying an intimate demeanor. The onlookers, for a moment, were unsure who to envy more.
After helping Nangong Qi to a steady position, A Yao let go of his hand, took a few steps in the air, and walked in front of Nangong Qi.
A terrifying pressure emanated from her, her clothes fluttering as if she were a female war goddess standing in the sky. The void trembled, and the immense pressure caused the disciples of the Azure Lotus Sect below to turn pale and lose their footing. By the time they regained their senses, their knees were already on the ground.
Elder Bai, Elder Chen, and the compass all changed their expressions drastically, their faces filled with horror. Such terrifying spiritual pressure! They were all late-stage Void Refinement cultivators, and it wasn't that they hadn't encountered opponents at that stage before, but the spiritual pressure emanating from Feng Yao, the leader of the Tianshan Sect, was clearly several times stronger than any late-stage Void Refinement expert they had ever met.
Could it be the Great Perfection of the late stage of the Void Refinement realm?
He didn't take Nangong Qi seriously, but when facing A Yao, he found that he didn't even have the courage to fight her.
He immediately shot backward, retreating back into the range of the Azure Lotus Sect's protective formation, and transmitted his voice to his disciple: "Activate the sect's protective formation!"
Several Nascent Soul stage disciples, braving the terrifying spiritual pressure, cast spells to activate the sect's protective array. A massive light barrier enveloped the entire main peak of the Azure Lotus Sect, and Elder Bai, Elder Chen, and the other disciples retreated into the protective array.
A Yao's figure flickered, ripples spreading beneath her feet as restrictive runes surged forth. With a stomp of her feet, the protective array's protective barrier shattered like bubbles. An array was merely a type of restriction; such a level of array was utterly ineffective against A Yao.
Everyone who saw it was terrified.
Whether it was the Compass, Elder Bai, and Elder Chen from the Azure Lotus Sect, or Ye Qinghua, Xiao Yanyan, and Shi Xinyi from A Yao's side, they were all utterly shocked. That formation, under normal circumstances, could withstand the combined attack of ten Void Refinement stage experts for five days, yet it was shattered with a single step! Heavens!
Unbelievable!
But after the initial shock, the Qinglian Sect was filled with fear, while the Tianshan Sect was overjoyed.
The stronger A Yao became, the more excited the Tianshan Sect disciples became. Now, as they gazed at A Yao's figure, their eyes shone with fervor.
The Tianshan Sect was mostly composed of female disciples, and these female disciples looked at A Yao with great excitement. A Yao perfectly matched all their ideals: beautiful, powerful, confident, and domineering.
