After the voice of the Tongtian Sect Hierarch came, many Jie Sect disciples looked towards the Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

"Sect Hierarch has called for Long-eared Brother to take the stage, now we will be able to witness Brother's divine might!"

"With so many second-generation disciples, it's quite telling that the Sect Hierarch specifically called Long-eared Brother, showing his broad divine skills and profound Dao Xing!"

"Long-eared Brother, don't hold back, give those Chan Sect disciples a harsh lesson!"

"Exactly, those Chan Sect disciples don't show any respect, let's not be polite with them either!"

"..."

A group of Jie Sect disciples spoke one after another, cheering on and encouraging Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

Hehe!

When I was punished before, you all fled as far as you could, and now, seeing that the Sect Hierarch has called my name and knowing that I haven't lost his holiness' favor, you all jumped out!

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal sneered in his heart but a gentle smile spread across his face.

"Brothers, you flatter me too much."

As he stood up to take the stage, he smiled and said, "What you don't know is that the Sect Hierarch has sent me not because my Dao Xing is profound..."

At this point, he paused for a moment, giving everyone enough room for imagination, then continued with a smile, "After all, red flowers, white lotus, and green lotus leaves, the Three Sects are originally one family."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan also couldn't help but nod silently.

This Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal is indeed one of the Seven Attendant Immortals who has been in Biyou Palace for years.

Not to mention anything else, at least his guess about the Tongtian Sect Hierarch's intentions is quite accurate.

Or perhaps it could be said, he is quite self-aware.

Looking at the Jie Sect, there are countless disciples with higher Dao Xing than his.

If the Tongtian Sect Hierarch really wanted to win, he could have sent Duobao Taoist directly, creating a situation like Yu Yuan's, winning three matches in a row.

Winning thoroughly!

But the Tongtian Sect Hierarch still chose him, the least of the Seven Attendant Immortals, to take the field.

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, adept at observing words and expressions, how could he not understand his own Sect Hierarch's intentions?

It's just that Yu Yuan's previous three consecutive wins, each being an instant victory over his opponents, has indeed shown the prestige of the Jie Sect, but also severely swept the Chan Sect's face.

Haven't you noticed that those Chan Sect disciples all have shut themselves away?

Before the martial arts duel, those well-known Chan Sect Twelve Golden Immortals appeared immortal and transcendental, but after three duels, they all look sullen, their faces as unpleasant as they could be!

Even the Chan Sect Saint sitting high on a cloud bed had a stern face and was unwilling to say more.

If the winning streak continues like this, the two sects of Chan and Jie might end up creating enmity!

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal understood the meaning behind the Tongtian Sect Hierarch sending him to the field: it was to soothe the tense atmosphere between the two sects.

Even if he lost this match, it really wouldn't matter.

Or rather, sending him out might be specifically intended to lose one match!

To save some face for the Chan Sect!

Thus, at this moment, he didn't feel any pressure.

The only thing that annoyed him was that it was all caused by that Yu Yuan!

If not for that guy showing off, turning what should have been an exciting series of matches into three overwhelming rounds, why would there be a need for him to go and "give away a point"?

With such thoughts in mind, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal crossed through the Cloud Gate and entered that vast world.

After a moment, a middle-aged Daoist wearing an Eight Diagrams Purple Immortal Robe appeared before him, standing at a distance.

"Greetings, Daoist Guang Chengzi."

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal greeted with a salute, his face bearing a warm smile, as if declaring something: he was not here to duel, but to make friends.

Looking at that smiling face, Guang Chengzi frowned slightly and impatiently returned the salute.

"My apologies."

After saying that, he took the lead in bringing out a green Treasure Seal and smashed it down towards Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

If it hadn't been for the previous three matches, he wouldn't have been in such a rush to attack Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, but after three matches, the Chan Sect lost all its face, and he was eager to gain it back.

Thus he unhesitatingly brought out the treasure bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun, the master of his cave dwelling.

This treasure was personally crafted by Yuanshi Tianzun from half of Buzhou Mountain and was later passed on to Guang Chengzi, who meticulously nurtured it for a million years. It ranked as an acquired top-grade Spiritual Treasure, capable of reversing Qian Kun, hence named Sky Flipping Seal!

Now that the Sky Flipping Seal was brought out, it immediately made Heaven and Earth lose their luster.

Wind roared, thunder boomed, clouds displayed splendid colors.

Golden rays in ten thousand paths, emitting rainbows.

Seeing the imposing manner of the Treasure Seal smashing towards him, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal became alert and quickly brandished a Treasure Bead.

Once the bead left his hand, it immediately evolved into many crystal-clear ice lotuses in front of him, like shields stacked in front of him.

Although he knew he was no match for Guang Chengzi, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal didn't want to lose too miserably and thus immediately activated his Protective Spirit Treasures.

But what surprised him was that his Spiritual Pearl couldn't block the opponent's attack.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the ice lotuses instantly shattered.

The verdant Treasure Seal, like a sharp arrow, penetrated through the ice lotuses and smashed towards Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal never expected the treasure to be so powerful, and when he wanted to dodge, it was already too late; the Treasure Seal firmly hit him in the back.

With a loud "bang," Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal's body from the head down, most of it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"This really hurts me!"

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal cried out in pain, his facial features twisting and contorting.

At this moment, the Sky Flipping Seal turned back and smashed towards him again.

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, now only a head left, became much more agile. The Yin Yang Qi flowed in his eyes, wrapping around his head and swiftly dodging to the side, narrowly avoiding the Treasure Seal.

However, Guang Chengzi had no intention of letting him off easily. He pursued aggressively with his Primordial Spirit controlling the Sky Flipping Seal, as if he had sworn to slay Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal on the spot.

Logically, during disciple sparring between the two sects, he should not have been so unrelenting.

It was just that he had watched the battles below, holding back a bellyful of nameless anger, and now he couldn't help venting it all on Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal was perceptive and extremely adept at discerning others' expressions and words. How could he not know this?

At this moment, his heart was even more depressed.

The one who had disgraced Chan Sect was Yu Yuan, why are you venting your anger on me?

However, Guang Chengzi couldn't hear his inner voice and was still relentlessly controlling the Sky Flipping Seal in pursuit.

After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal was eventually caught up.

Seeing that terrifying Treasure Seal rapidly enlarging in his field of vision, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal didn't hesitate to shout.

"I concede!"

Golden light shone instantly, teleporting him back to the square.

He was left with only a head.

Nonetheless, as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, rebirthing his body was not a difficult task.

But the significant loss of his vitality was inevitable.

What was most unbearable for him was, upon returning to the square, he was greeted only with eyes filled with mockery, disdain, or schadenfreude.

Those who had previously praised him were now nowhere to be seen.

This was also inevitable.

Within Jie Sect, it wasn't as if everyone was of one mind, and he had lost miserably. After his Spiritual Treasure was shattered, he didn't even have the power to strike back and was chased and beaten like a stray dog.

Most importantly, he had conceded and fled back.

Compared with the previous three overwhelming victories of Yu Yuan, the difference was too great.

Under such circumstances, how could anyone show a good face to Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal?

However, most Jie Sect disciples didn't focus their attention on him but were more concerned about who would come next.

Soon, the voice of Sect Hierarch Tongtian came down.

"Zhao Gongming, you will fight in this round."

Hearing this, including Yu Yuan, many Jie Sect disciples let out sighs of relief.

One could understand a single loss, but two would be indefensible.

Fortunately, the desire of Sect Hierarch Tongtian to win had not changed, and he directly sent Zhao Gongming, the foremost external disciple.

In the eyes of the Jie Sect disciples, his Dao Xing realm was recognized as one of the top three.

With him taking the stage, this round was surely in the bag.

And indeed, it was so.

Although Guang Chengzi's Sky Flipping Seal was fearsomely powerful, around Zhao Gongming floated numerous large Treasure Beads, twenty-four in total, all round and bright, casting misty five-colored dazzling lights.

The moment the twenty-four Treasure Beads lit up, the vast world seemed to freeze.

The Sky Flipping Seal was actually stopped in mid-air; even with Guang Chengzi's full-powered activation, it could only move at a snail's pace.

Is this the power of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl?

Seeing this scene, Yu Yuan also couldn't help but show an expression of awe.

Although he and Zhao Gongming were quite familiar with each other, this was his first time witnessing the legendary Ocean Stabilizing Pearl display its divine power and he sincerely felt the horror of this Spiritual Treasure from the bottom of his heart.

He was quite clear about the origin of this treasure.

According to legend, when the Primordial chaos first divided and Heaven and Earth were created, the clear Qi rose, transforming into the Circulation of stars; the turbid Qi sank, forming thick earth and the Netherworld. The body of the Pangu God became the mountains and rivers, yet the Four Seas tumultuous and surging, the Primordial Land unable to settle.

But in the chaos, there were twenty-four strands of space fog that evolved naturally into twenty-four Bright Pearls, shining with five-colored radiances, instantly subdued the Four Seas and calmed the Primordial Land…

As far as he remembered, this Spiritual Treasure ended up in the hands of Randeng Taoist, who transformed it into twenty-four heavens, like twenty-four Great Thousand Worlds, and Randeng Taoist thus achieved Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit.

From this, one could see how extraordinary these twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls were!

Possessing such a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, coupled with his own Dao realm far surpassing his opponents, it would be difficult for Zhao Gongming to lose even if he wanted to.

After immobilizing the Sky Flipping Seal, Guang Chengzi became like a tiger without claws in front of him, merely a plaything, eventually firmly tied up by the Dragon Binding Rope, unable to move at all.

Under these circumstances, naturally, Guang Chengzi was defeated.

Then, when Nanji Immortal took the stage, he was no match either.

Although Nanji Immortal was also a Daluo Golden Immortal and even possessed more profound mana than Zhao Gongming, and also with numerous Spiritual Treasures, he had no way to handle the twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls.

This supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure was both offensive and defensive.

In offense, it could shake the day and topple the sky, reversing Qian Kun; in defense, it could restrict space like the Chaos Bell, suppressing all directions.

Most importantly, there were as many as twenty-four of them!

Even if their power was much reduced when spread out, they were still more flexible and versatile.

After a lengthy battle, it was, in the end, Zhao Gongming who won this spell duel.

Yu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chan Sect would definitely send Randeng Taoist in the final round.

In his memory, this Vice Sect Hierarch of Chan Sect was also unable to handle Zhao Gongming who held twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls and was instead chased by Zhao Gongming, with nowhere to go in heaven and no path on earth, fortunately encountering Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao in Wuyi Mountain, and with their Treasure Falling Gold managed to collect Zhao Gongming's Ocean Stabilizing Pearls…

While Yu Yuan was lost in his wild thoughts, Randeng Taoist had already passed through Cloud Gate and entered the vast world.

After greeting Zhao Gongming, above his head appeared an orange-yellow celebratory Qingyun cloud while three Dao Flowers fluttered within. On the left and right Dao Flowers, a Jade Ruler and a Glazed Lamp were suspended respectively, and from the middle Dao Flower, an Apricot Yellow Flag slowly emerged. The flag, measuring one chi and seven cun long, unfurled to reveal countless Golden Lotuses, illuminating the entire sky with golden brilliance…
