Chapter 896
Tensions Rise, Junior Sister Jiuxiao
The Eight Universes and the Nine Heavens Universe belong to the same long river of the universe, known as the Eight-Nine River.
The overlord of the Eight-Nine Rivers is naturally the Eight Universes, especially the Eight Universes when the Eight Immortal Venerables were alive, which was absolutely unique.
Since the passing of the Eight Immortal Venerables, the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace has risen to prominence, catching up with the Eight Immortal Palace in just a few hundred thousand years, and even showing signs of surpassing it.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was naturally unwilling to be subordinate to others and refused to remain below the Eight Immortal Palaces forever, which led to a series of incidents.
The discord between the Eight Palaces and the Nine Heavens Palace is no secret throughout the entire Eight-Nine Rivers and even the entire Immortal Realm.
"Look, Senior Brother Kazama has already reached the 700th floor!"
The disciples of the Eight Immortal Palace shouted excitedly as they saw two beams of starlight appear on the 700th floor.
"Tch! So what? Our Senior Brother Ling Jin is already on the 749th floor, and his speed hasn't slowed down. At this rate, the 800th floor is a sure thing!"
The disciples in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace still looked down on the Eight Immortal Palaces from their high positions.
The smell of gunpowder had become increasingly strong by this time.
“Fellow Daoist Ji Bo, the disciples of your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace are getting more and more arrogant.”
Zhuge Boqi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Sima Jiba, a hint of displeasure flashing in them.
"Hehehe..." Sima Jiba simply chuckled.
“Brother Boqi, you and I are both old now. We’ve forgotten what we were like millions of years ago. When we were young, weren’t we full of vigor? How could we get by if we weren’t vigorous when we were young?”
Sima Jiba's words left Zhuge Boqi speechless for a moment, because there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said.
"Hahaha..." Master Yi laughed three times. "The Grand Elder is right. Young people need to be energetic. Otherwise, they'll just be flowers in a greenhouse. How can they go far?!"
Within the Eight Celestial Palaces, the three leaders all looked towards Master Yi.
They all knew that this Master Yi was the one in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace who was the most fervent and the most vocal in resisting the Eight Immortal Palaces.
“That’s right, Ling Jin has already reached the 780th floor, it seems that reaching the 800th floor shouldn’t be a problem.”
Feng Xiu nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Ling Jin's results.
"Eight hundred floors? This is just the beginning. I'll go next. My goal is nine hundred floors!"
The dragon grinned, its eyes filled with madness, and charged directly towards the Eight Immortal Towers.
"Hmph, your opponent is me!"
Lin Yuan, a core disciple of the Divine Dragon Palace, immediately flew out, his body radiating intense fighting spirit.
"Who goes there? My fists do not kill nameless nobodies!"
The dragon roared at Lin Yuan.
"I am Lin Yuan, a core disciple of the Divine Dragon Hall of the Eight Immortal Palaces. Am I qualified?!"
Lin Yuan, not to be outdone, roared back and charged forward with his sword.
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan has actually joined in. It seems that this time, our Eight Immortal Palaces and their Nine Heavens Immortal Palaces will be engaged in a fierce battle!"
"I hope Senior Brother Lin Yuan can effectively dampen their arrogance!"
"Senior Brother Lin Yuan! Kill them!"
The disciples of the Eight Immortal Palaces were greatly encouraged when they saw Lin Yuan make his move.
Lin Xuan also looked at the man named Lin Yuan, who was dressed in a long black robe and held a long sword that was entirely black. The sword was much longer than an ordinary sword, a full six and a half inches long!
"Lin Yuan is a disciple of our Divine Dragon Palace Master Zhuge. He is one of the top disciples of our Eight Immortal Palaces. He has been cultivating for less than 100,000 years and has already reached the Nine Tribulations Golden Immortal Realm. He is not far from the Immortal King Realm. He has been in seclusion for many years. If it weren't for the opening of the Eight Immortal Towers this time, he would probably still be in seclusion."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan secretly agreed. No wonder this person could unleash such powerful energy, far surpassing that of an ordinary Ninth Tribulation Golden Immortal. The dragon's expression also changed complexly upon hearing the name Lin Yuan.
As the old rival of the Eight Immortal Palaces, the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace naturally maintains the strictest surveillance over the Eight Immortal Palaces, and most of Lin Yuan's information is kept in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.
As a genius disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, Qiu Long naturally knew quite a bit about Lin Yuan.
"boom!"
The two exchanged a palm strike in front of the Eight Immortal Towers. Lin Yuan took a graceful step back, stabilizing himself in seven steps, like a banished immortal.
As for the dragon, although it mainly cultivated its physical body, it was still forced back about twenty steps by Lin Yuan before it could stabilize its position.
"Such powerful immortal energy!"
Qiulong's gaze became even more solemn. This representative of the Eight Immortal Palaces was indeed extraordinary.
It seems that only Feng Xiu, the senior disciple of their Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, is capable of suppressing Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan glanced coldly at the dragon, then plunged headfirst into the Eight Immortal Towers.
"Hmph!" Although the dragon was outmaneuvered, it was still unwilling to accept defeat and immediately followed Lin Yuan into the Eight Immortal Towers.
"Green Robe, this Lin Yuan is no simple man. You should go too. Remember, just follow the original plan."
Feng Xiu looked at the green-clad figure beside him and said with a smile.
Although Lin Yuan made a move, it didn't cause Feng Xiu to show much change in expression.
"Hehe, alright, alright, senior brother, we've all been assigned to this place, except for junior sister who's still here watching over things. Senior brother can't show favoritism to her."
The woman in green glanced at Feng Xiu with a hint of resentment. Although she spoke with a smile, her words betrayed her dissatisfaction with the girl who looked like a little girl.
The half-veiled loli girl did not change her expression upon hearing this, and did not even glance at the green-clad woman. Her eyes were filled with indifference, which made the green-clad woman feel both angry and upset, as if she had punched a cotton ball.
Feng Xiu glanced fiercely at the woman in green.
"Green Robe, what I should do is my business as the senior brother. As for Little Sprout, it's none of your business."
"Humph!"
Green Robe snorted in dissatisfaction, but dared not disobey Feng Xiu's words, and flew directly towards the Eight Immortal Towers.
At this point, only Feng Xiu and his junior sister remained of the original five.
“Junior Sister Ya’er, the Palace Master said that you don’t need to take action this time. You just need to watch. As your senior brother, I will protect you.”
Feng Xiu looked at Ya'er and said with a smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.
But the girl called Ya'er just smiled slightly, her smile revealing more of aloofness.
"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Feng."
"Hehe, there's no need for that. Since I'm your senior brother, it's my duty to protect you. Even if I die, I'll die before you!"
Feng Xiu spoke with righteous indignation and with an extremely sincere attitude.
Ya'er smiled again upon hearing this, but said nothing.
Seeing that Ya'er was not responding to him, Feng Xiu felt somewhat helpless, but he quickly cheered himself up.
Although Feng Xiu didn't know the origin of the person in front of him, he clearly remembered that when his master, the palace master of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, faced his junior sister, he actually showed a hint of respect that was hard to detect!
That's right, it's respect!
Feng Xiu keenly grasped this information and boldly guessed that his junior sister was not as simple as she appeared on the surface, and was very likely someone from above!
If he could win the heart of his junior sister, perhaps he could gain the support of her powerful backers and reach the realm of Immortal Venerable! (End of Chapter)
