Over the continuous mountain range, Yin and Yang energies swirled.
Cultivators arrived upon hearing the news, with sects and factions from nearby gathering together, quietly awaiting the emergence of the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree.
Hearing Chen Changsheng's arrogant remarks, the surrounding people shook their heads in disdain.
Just having stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage, and he already thinks he's invincible?
Although the Taiji Plate Fruit was a perfect Dao Foundation item, most of the cultivators who came here seeking opportunities were at the Qi Refining stage, but there were also Foundation Establishment elders paving the way for their juniors.
These older generation cultivators had no hope of breaking through to the Golden Core stage, so they spent the latter half of their lives refining their Dao techniques, and their strength was definitely among the best in the same realm.
In this situation, a young man who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage was so arrogant as to claim that no one could compete with him, truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Fellow Daoist, you said this is太平[Tàipíng] City, but I've never heard of it?" A refined-looking male cultivator walked over, asking with a smile.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him indifferently: "Because 太平[Tàipíng] City was just established. According to the city's plan, this land beneath your feet is the territory of 太平[Tàipíng] City."
The Nine Dragon Domain was not governed by dynasties, and the division of territories was decided by the forces themselves. Territorial disputes were also resolved by themselves, the simplest and most brutal way being to fight.
This was the unspoken rule of the cultivation world.
"Even if what you said is true, according to the development speed of a city, it would probably take decades or even centuries to cover this area."
"Therefore, this mountain range does not yet belong to your 太平[Tàipíng] City."
His words were reasonable and well-founded, definitely not sophistry. As long as the city was not built, this place was no-man's land.
Chen Changsheng's expression was calm as he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, what you said is reasonable, but from the day I cleared the nearby demons and evil spirits, this place has been called 太平[Tàipíng] Mountain Range, and it is the territory of my 太平[Tàipíng] City."
太平[Tàipíng] City had not yet been established, but its momentum must not be lost. It must show its sharp edge! Showing both strong ambition and revealing its foundation and confidence would earn it respect in the future.
The overbearing behavior made the man's expression slightly awkward.
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist is so assertive, then I will agree with you. This place will be called 太平[Tàipíng] Mountain Range. But I advise Fellow Daoist to be more low-key. These people will not give your 太平[Tàipíng] City any face. When it comes to opportunities, they will still fight for them."
"Did you come here specifically to remind me?"
"More or less. I see that Fellow Daoist has an extraordinary background, so I came here to make friends." The man coughed lightly and said with a smile, "My name is Qian Yan, from Dragon Bone Stronghold. May I know how to address you?"
Chen Changsheng looked surprised, unable to discern the other party's intentions for a moment: "太平[Tàipíng] City, Chen Changsheng."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen. May I know who this young lady beside you is..."
Buzz—
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth vibrated, and the black and white Yin-Yang energies gathered in the sky, swirling like a vortex. A towering tree with alternating black and white colors shattered the lightning and descended from the sky, quickly taking root and occupying the earth.
"The Yin-Yang Treasure Tree has appeared!" A cultivator exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, joy surged on everyone's faces, but when they saw the number of Taiji Plate Fruits on the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree, everyone's expressions changed.
Only one Taiji Plate Fruit hung lonely on the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree, as if mocking the gathered cultivators, gently swaying, flowing with crystal-clear luster.
This meant that the numerous forces and cultivators present had to either give up and leave, or fight to the death, with no possibility of cooperation and distribution.
Whoosh!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, countless cultivators soared into the sky, vying to fly towards the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree.
Even if there was only one plate fruit, some people would still fight to the death for it.
The temptation of a perfect Dao Foundation was too great!
Dense streams of light and Dao techniques rose up, filling the entire heaven and earth. Right from the start, some cultivators exploded into a bloody mist, dying on the spot.
Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao immediately used Shrinking Earth to travel, rushing towards the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree.
Qian Yan was left stunned in place. He hadn't finished his words yet! He wanted to follow, but looking at the two people weaving through the rain of Dao techniques, he stopped in his tracks.
With so many sects and forces vying for a single Taiji Plate Fruit, how could rogue cultivators and small sects possibly get it? Giving up was the most rational choice!
But the master and disciple didn't think so much. They were crossing past thousands of cultivators at extreme speed, rushing into the first echelon.
Many cultivators noticed the two of them.
More than a dozen spells attacked from all directions at the same time. Chen Changsheng leisurely threw out a Rank 3 defensive talisman, easily blocking these small spells, and his speed increased instead of decreasing.
"You have some skill, no wonder you were so arrogant before."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who launched the sneak attack said coldly, "Rank 3 talismans? I'd like to see how many Rank 3 talismans you have!"
Whoosh!
The man formed a hand seal, and a sky-covering network of tree roots pierced out from the ground, interweaving into a large net.
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and threw out several Rank 3 talismans in succession.
The dense net of tree roots was instantly ignited by the talismans. The raging fire illuminated the sky, and the broken tree roots fell like sparks, startling the surrounding cultivators who hurriedly cast spells to dodge.
Chen Changsheng ignored these people. He reached out and hugged Miaomiao, stepped on his flying sword, transformed into lightning, and in the blink of an eye, surpassed all the cultivators, arriving first in front of the Yin-Yang Treasure Tree.
Facing the Taiji Plate Fruit that was close at hand, Chen Changsheng did not reach out to grab it, but instead held his battle halberd and slashed it out.
Boom!
The wave of True Qi shook and exploded, and the collision of metal produced sparks and starlight.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator hidden in the dark was directly blasted away by this halberd strike. A hideous and bloody wound appeared on his chest, and the bones and internal organs inside could be clearly seen.
As Miaomiao reached out to grab the Taiji Plate Fruit,
Chen Changsheng's battle halberd swung again, and his figure instantly transformed into ten afterimages, slashing towards Miaomiao's right side with a wild aura.
The roar was deafening, erupting with the ferocious power of a bloody thunder!
Nearly ten cultivators revealed their figures. Their expressions were horrified, and the magical instruments in their hands shattered into pieces with a 'clang' sound. Everyone's eyes froze at this moment.
The ten people attacked together, but they were no match for Chen Changsheng's lightning techniques and halberd rays. The ten figures flew upside down like kites with broken strings, trailing streaks of blood.
The Taiji Plate Fruit also happened to fall into Miaomiao's hands at this moment, and she quickly stored it in her storage ring.
"Stop them!"
The cultivators who were fighting immediately stopped fighting, roared loudly, and killed Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao.
They restrained each other to create opportunities for their own people, not to help Chen Changsheng and Miaomiao obtain the opportunity. Seeing that the Taiji Plate Fruit was taken away by the Chen Changsheng's master and disciple, a group of cultivators united as never before.
Chen Changsheng was not afraid at all, and laughed loudly: "The competition for opportunities is over, please leave quickly, everyone. This is the territory of 太平[Tàipíng] City. If you insist on fighting, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Boom!
The cultivation of the late stage of Foundation Establishment exploded, and two Nine Revolutions Heavenly罡[Gāng] Arm Rings appeared on his wrists, accompanied by the violent Divine Elephant power that distorted the void.
One hundred and eight Nine Curves Yellow Spring Swords formed the Grand Yi Heavenly罡[Gāng] Sword Formation, suspended in a ring shape.
The Undying True Phoenix flames transformed into a Daoist robe attached to his body, and the bursting wild dragon blood energy transformed into a dragon roar phenomenon, intertwined with bloody lightning.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng's momentum soared, as if a generation of Divine Monarch had descended, holding a battle halberd and with a sword formation suspended behind him!
