The towering mountain quickly sprouted all kinds of flowers, grasses, and trees, and on the summit, a Daoist temple manifested out of thin air.

However, saying it appeared out of thin air is not entirely accurate. It was as if billions of lights shimmered and converged in the void, from the mountain to the Daoist temple, formed by countless fragmented shadows pieced together.

When Tao Jun and others looked closely, they could see the entire piecing process was orderly and precise.

A single blade of grass, a stone, a green tile, the rocks, trees, houses, and buildings, all had a precise and complete process of assembly.

It's just that the process was so fast, it looked as if it materialized out of thin air.

Tao Jun and the others were slightly lacking in understanding, feeling that Gao Xuan's divine techniques were vast, able to recreate the destroyed Biyun Peak.

Monk Golden Light had sharper eyes than Tao Jun and the others. He quickly saw that this was not a recreation out of thin air, but a reversal of the destruction of Biyun Peak and the Celestial Master Temple.

Monk Golden Light was secretly astonished; this was clearly the oft-spoken inverse causality, reversal of heaven and earth.

That was ten times harder than reconstructing the mountain peak.

Even though there are many powerful Human Immortals in the Cyan Celestial Realm, probably no one can achieve this level.

Gao Xuan is still young, even if he hides his cultivation, he definitely hasn't crossed the ninth Thunder Tribulation.

Monk Golden Light had seen very clearly outside Iron Horn King's cave that Gao Xuan's level during the tribulation was similar to his Four Tribulations level.

The only reasonable explanation is that Gao Xuan possesses a powerful Immortal Artifact capable of reversing heaven and earth. Even so, his ability to wield such a powerful Immortal Artifact is astonishing in itself.

Monk Golden Light felt that Gao Xuan was doing this to show off Power and warn Ao Qiong.

Tao Jun and Zuo Wentao quickly realized this as well.

The group couldn't help but look up at the northern clouds surging over. Deep within the clouds, Ao Qiong must also be watching them.

After all, whenever the Golden Horn Demon King makes a move, it's earth-shattering, with demon qi rushing straight into the Star River.

Ao Qiong was controlling cloud formation and rainfall in Wuyuan Country; how could he not see the commotion caused by the Golden Horn Demon King? How could he not see the Golden Horn Demon King being slain?

But until now, Ao Qiong showed no intention of stopping.

The clouds that had scattered from the earlier battle were surging back again.

With Gao Xuan reconstructing Biyun Peak and the Celestial Master Temple, he again displayed incredible, unparalleled divine techniques.

The northern sweeping clouds seemed to slow down.

However, soon the clouds surged forward again. This time, there were flashes of thunder light within the clouds, appearing more fierce and menacing.

Tao Jun and Zuo Wentao's expressions changed drastically. Gao Xuan had demonstrated unmatched divine techniques, yet this Ao Qiong not only refused to retreat but pushed forward with greater momentum. He really intended to confront Gao Xuan to the bitter end!

Was it truly necessary for just a carp spirit?

Tao Jun couldn't help but look at Zuo Wentao. Zuo Wentao had a friend who was a Dragon Girl from the Dragon Palace and had asked her to relay a message. Why was Ao Qiong still relentless?

Zuo Wentao shook his head with a bitter smile. He said he only passed on a message. The Sixth Prince of the Dragon Palace wouldn't care about them.

Perhaps Gao Xuan's display of unmatched divine techniques previously had instead provoked Ao Qiong. After all, his personality was reportedly extremely arrogant, dismissive of others.

With the Dragon Palace backing him, of course, he had the right not to take the Celestial Court or Gao Xuan seriously.

Gao Xuan chuckled wryly. Ao Qiong truly had a stubborn head, so be it.

Tao Jun sensed the atmosphere was tense and complimented: "Celestial Master, you have the power to create all things by reconstructing Biyun Peak..."

Gao Xuan said calmly: "Since we are called Immortals, we should carry mountains and cross seas, we should revive the dead and reverse heaven and earth, we should cut through all tribulations and defy fate, so as not to disgrace the name of Immortals..."

These words were spoken not loudly, yet the sound drifted and echoed through the clouds, reaching directly into the faraway thunder-light filled tumultuous clouds.

Tao Jun and the others knew that Gao Xuan's words were directed at Ao Qiong, but they couldn't respond.

In the distant sky, thunder suddenly rumbled, seemingly making a strong reply to Gao Xuan's words.

Gao Xuan ignored the distant thunder and said to Monk Golden Light: "You are also a Buddhist Arhat, how can you serve under me as a lackey? This would disgrace the Buddhist Sect and make me seem lacking in generosity."

Monk Golden Light felt a surge of joy. Gao Xuan intended to spare him. He hurriedly clasped his hands in a bow: "This disciple is willing to do anything for the Celestial Master."

Gao Xuan nodded approvingly: "Since you are so sincere, it would be improper for me to refuse. Look at Biyun Peak, the grass and trees are withered, the springs dried up. Though there are pines and stones, there is no grace, all is desolate. Please, add some scenery to this mountain, to show the style of my Celestial Master Temple..."

Monk Golden Light listened and thought it was nothing difficult. He guaranteed: "Leave it to this disciple; I'll arrange for some rare flowers, strange trees, spirit stones, and celestial springs to adorn the mountain."

"There's no need for such troubles."

Gao Xuan smiled at Monk Golden Light: "It will just be a little hard on you this time."

Monk Golden Light had an inkling of something amiss. Just as he was about to speak, Gao Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

Monk Golden Light was about to open his mouth to speak, but as soon as he did, a golden chrysanthemum bloomed from within. Monk Golden Light was alarmed, but before he could resist, his essence blood was forcibly absorbed by some power, turning into golden chrysanthemums.

In the blink of an eye, Monk Golden Light's body was covered with hundreds of beautiful golden chrysanthemums.

The surface of the golden chrysanthemum subtly shimmered with a crystalline texture, and under the gentle moonlight, it radiated a brilliant golden light.

The golden chrysanthemums around Monk Golden Light multiplied, until finally, his entire person transformed into thousands of chrysanthemums, spreading out in large swathes.

Under the moonlight as gentle as flowing water, the spreading golden chrysanthemums flowed like a golden tide across the mountain, taking root, sprouting, and blossoming wherever they went.

Tao Jun, Zuo Wentao, and Jiang Yunfeng saw clearly as the Four Tribulations Golden Body Arhat Monk Golden Light was drained of essence blood and divine soul by golden chrysanthemums, his body finally turning to gray mud.

Biyun Peak was covered by countless golden chrysanthemums, which, under the moonlight, shimmered with a crystalline golden light.

At a glance, Biyun Peak became resplendent and dazzling, with an indescribable ethereal charm.

Tao Jun and the others were silent, none could have anticipated Monk Golden Light's death would occur in such a way; his death was truly mystical.

Gao Xuan, looking at the mountain full of golden chrysanthemums, was suddenly inspired, and he recited aloud: "The last ray of golden light on earth extinguished, the Daoist temple's spirit chrysanthemums begin to bloom. Blooming without speech, nature is free, allowing the autumn wind to bring the rain."
