Qinfeng and Zhuobufan secretly challenged each other, which soon caused a major stir in the Immortal Palace.

    "What's going on?"

    "What kind of great power is absorbing the spiritual essence from the heavens and earth?"

    "Why is the spiritual essence of the heavens and earth so chaotic? There's no order at all?"

    ...

    In the Immortal Palace, countless disciples stopped in the square and the void.

    They gazed at the fluctuating spiritual energy ripples within the Immortal Palace grounds, their faces filled with astonishment!

    Such an incredible phenomenon is something they have never seen before!

    The disciples of the Law Hall and Sword Hall felt puzzled and all of them flew to the void to investigate.

    After a thorough investigation, they discovered that the spiritual energy waves were flowing towards the Fourth Peak and the Second Peak.

    The speed at which the two main peaks gather spiritual energy is incredible.

    Just like two dragons playing with a pearl!

    Now, these disciples understand; it is Master Lei Zhen Tian and Elder Mu Qing Xue who are absorbing the celestial and terrestrial spiritual energy to cultivate.

    Only these elders can harness the power of spiritual essence from the heavens and earth!

    They naturally didn't expect that this was a contest between Qinfeng and Zhuobufan.

    However, during the competition between Qinfeng and Zhuobufan to absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, the space within the palace became chaotic.

    The cauldron in the sixth peak's potion refining chamber began to tremble, and flames scattered around...

    Xu Jiao, who was refining the elixir, burst into a rage, "Is there going to be an end to this?"

    Within the Sword Hall, Huāngyàn who had just recovered from his injuries was teaching Yángchūn and Jiāng Tāo swordsmanship.

    Unexpectedly, due to the influence of the fluctuations in spiritual essence, his swordsmanship being practiced was trapped by an invisible pressure.

    Shangguan Yan felt as though he was wearing a tight-fitting garment, with every movement feeling particularly awkward and uncoordinated.

    Yángchūn and Jiāng Tāo, the two supreme talents of the Sword Hall, looked at their master's appearance and glanced at each other before bursting into helpless laughter.

    Inside the great hall of the third peak.

    Zhou Tao is drinking tea with Mu Qing Xue.

    At this time, due to the fluctuations in spiritual energy, the teacups on the table were violently shaking.

    Zhou Tao's brow furrowed as he looked up towards the great hall, seeing tens of thousands of spiritual essence waves flowing towards the Fourth Peak and the Second Peak.

    The spiritual energy kept hovering around the two peaks, with Qin Feng and Zhuo Bufan using formation magic to absorb it. As they set up more formations, the spiritual energy condensed in the void, slowly gathering from chaos into a ball of spiritual essence.

    "Younger Sister Mu, if this continues, Qin Junior Uncle and Zhuo Junior Uncle's competition will cause terrifying spatial explosions."

    "Are you sure you won't do anything?" Zhou Tao glanced at Mu Qing Xue.

    Mu Qing Xue shook her head: "I believe in my apprentice."

    She was very serious and certain that this time's competition between Qinfeng and Zhuobufan was actually a struggle between Lei Zhen Tian and Mu Qing Xue.

    Zhou Tao also knew that his fourth sister, Mu Qing Xue, was very competitive.

    However, Zhou Tao knew very well what kind of person his second brother-in-arms, Lei Zhen Tian, was.

    He was also competitive.

    Currently, within the endless Immortal Palace, only Liuwuhen has the power to restrain Lei Zhen Tian.

    "However, the practice of the Limitless Heart Technique can only be achieved by those at the peak of Yuanxian cultivation."

    "Of course, the Immortal Palace has never prohibited the transmission of heart techniques to inner disciples. It's just that Qin Junior Uncle has only just broken through the mid-stage of the tribulation."

    "Is it a bit too hasty to let Xixixi take him to the Forgotten Cliff to practice the heart technique?"

    Zhou Tao sipped his tea and then looked at Mu Qing Xue.

    "Third Brother, I know Qin Feng's talent. It would be best for him to start practicing this heart technique at the moment."

    "That's also the only way I can test his talent. If Qinfeng can't do it, that's fine."

    If Qinfeng can cultivate the Limitless Heart Technique to mastery, then without mentioning anything else, Qinfeng will be an exceptional cultivator among tens of thousands.

    Zhou Tao, on the other hand, suddenly understood.

    But using such a testing method is too risky.

    The Limitless Heart Technique is a middle-grade earth-level heart technique. For Qinfeng, who is only at the mid-stage of the tribulation, to cultivate an earth-level middle-grade heart technique could lead to spiritual combustion if something goes wrong. At that time, his cultivation would be destroyed in an instant!

    originally Zhou Tao wanted to remind Mu Qing Xue, but after seeing Mu Qing Xue's calm expression, Zhou Tao thought twice and decided not to mention it.

    ……

    In the Ancestral Peak.

    In a cave, OuZhang Laozu opened his eyes.

    Using his divine consciousness, OuZhang Laozu comprehensively sensed the fluctuations in spiritual essence within the Immortal Palace. As a result, he immediately opened the protective array surrounding his peak.

    "Yan'er, come here," OuZhang Laozu called out with a resounding voice like that of a great bell.

    While teaching swordsmanship to Yángchūn and Jiāng Tāo inside the Sword Hall, OuZhang Yan heard this and let Yángchūn and Jiāng Tāo practice by themselves.

    Only through refining their swordsmanship can they withstand the attacks of the Xuanming Sect through the mountain's outer mountain.

    Then, OuZhang Yan immediately headed towards the Ancestral Peak.

    Upon entering the cave, seeing OuZhang Laozu cross-legged on a boulder, OuZhang Yan's face was filled with reverence.

    Among all the elder ancestors in the Immortal Palace, OuZhang Laozu is the most approachable.

    Compared to other elders, most of them are closed-door cultivation for decades or even centuries, never meeting their descendants easily.

    People who don't know think they've already died.

    But OuZhang Laozu is different; he meets his OuZhang descendants from time to time.

    "Greetings, ancestor!" OuZhang Yan bowed respectfully towards OuZhang Laozu.

    "Yan'er, what is the fluctuation of spiritual essence outside, and who is causing trouble?"

    OuZhang Laozu naturally knows that only someone with extraordinary talent could cause fluctuations in the spiritual essence of the void.

    However, if this continues, it will definitely cause some trouble!

    OuZhang Yan sighed and then bowed her fists, "Returning to the ancestor, it is Zhuo Bufan, a disciple from the Second Peak, and Qinfeng, a disciple from the Fourth Peak. They are currently congealing an array to absorb cosmic spiritual essence for cultivation."

    "Oh, I see. Zhuo Bufan and Qinfeng, these two younger generations, are indeed unique. They are capable of using such an array to absorb cosmic spiritual essence; it seems they are both fit to produce the Red Mist of the Great Dao."

    "Yes, ancestor," OuZhang Yan answered.

    "Yan'er, our OuZhang family in the Immortal Palace is not as powerful as before. So before this, we must ally ourselves with strong descendants to improve our status within the Immortal Palace." OuZhang Laozu mused.

    Now that I'm still in the Immortal Palace, there's no problem at all.

    However, once my time in the celestial palace runs out, just like Dandai Laozu, my OuZhang family will certainly be expelled from the Immortal Palace.

    "I will surely listen to the advice of my ancestor and never forget!"

    "Yes, go down."

    OuZhang Laozu nodded, and OuZhang Yan turned around and left the cave.

    OuZhang Yan flew towards her main peak, thinking of the words her ancestor had spoken earlier.

    Zhuo Bufan and Qinfeng are good talents, but they are also troublemakers!

    OuZhang Laozu detected that the struggle between Qinfeng and Zhuo Bufan was becoming more and more intense, and he knew that he had to intervene.

    Otherwise, the more spiritual essence gathered, the greater the spatial explosion would be.

    By then, there would be no more spiritual essence in the Immortal Palace, making it as desolate as a dead land.
