Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun, who were watching the commotion from the side, actually found Xuan Xiang's words quite reasonable. If Gao Xuan was willing to take a step back, it would be all the better.

Celestial Fool showed a faint sneer on his face, waved the duster in his hand, and gave a harsh slap on the faces of Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun.

He muttered discontentedly, "Celestial Dragon Zen Chant, Brain-Invading Demon Sound. You two kids are too weak, to have been ensnared like this..."

Tao Jun and Zuo Wentao were startled awake by the sharp pain, only then realizing something was wrong; even their Divine Souls had been influenced by the enemy.

Both felt a bit ashamed; as Four Tribulation Spirit Immortals, they almost had their souls taken away by a single sentence from Xuan Xiang.

They were also secretly shocked; the old monk, who seemed unremarkable, possessed such formidable skill.

Tao Jun and Zuo Wentao looked back at Gao Xuan, only to find his eyes clear and profound, with a face that was half-smiling, not affected at all.

Xuan Xiang also recognized Gao Xuan's prowess, feeling mildly surprised: the Celestial Dragon Zen Chant directly pointed to the Divine Soul, incorporating the righteous path of the Buddhist Sect. Even a Human Immortal like Celestial Fool needed to exert strength to resist.

Yet Gao Xuan appeared entirely unaware, with no unusual Primordial Qi fluctuations. This depth caused Xuan Xiang to feel some pressure.

Gao Xuan said to Xuan Xiang, "We are all people of standing; wielding weapons is unbecoming. How about this, I have a few minor magics, and I invite the venerable monks of the Buddhist Sect to critique them."

As he spoke, Gao Xuan flicked his long sleeves, and Jinshan and the numerous Buddhist Sect members opposite suddenly felt the world spinning, everything abruptly inverting and reversing.

This was not an illusion; Heaven and Earth had truly been turned upside down.

The azure sky and red sun were right beneath everyone's feet.

Above their heads, icy snow-capped mountains and surging torrents of flowing rivers were overwhelming.

Among those present, the weakest were Spirit Immortal level cultivators, yet no one had ever witnessed such a spectacular scene.

The mountains and earth, extremely heavy, were suspended above everyone, exerting immense pressure.

The deep azure abyss beneath their feet seemed ready to swallow everyone at any moment.

With just one flip of Heaven and Earth, all the venerable monks of the Buddhist Sect felt immense pressure. Golden light shone from everyone's bodies as each activated their power to protect themselves.

The onlookers Celestial Fool, Zuo Wentao, and Tao Jun were also not immune.

Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun's faces changed drastically; brilliant light emanated from their bodies as each activated their Protective Immortal Artifacts.

It wasn't that they were nervous, but the gigantic inversion of Heaven and Earth was too shocking for any cultivator.

More terrifyingly, this was not an illusion. Without mana sustaining themselves, they would fall into the endless depth of the azure sky.

With just a snap, Heaven and Earth were inverted, even entrapping four Golden Body Arhat and dozens of Arhats. Such a divine technique was truly terrifying to the extreme.

Even the sloppy and carefree Celestial Fool had no smile on his face now. He muttered, "Inversion of Heaven and Earth, creating a world of its own, how formidable!"

The most cultivated among the Buddhist Sect, Xuan Xiang also bore a grave expression; even with his Divine Sense, he could not perceive the edges of this realm, feeling only endless expanses.

This, of course, was impossible. No matter how powerful Gao Xuan's divine techniques, his power had limits. However, that he could not reach the boundaries of this world proved this man's space divine techniques far surpassed his own.

Xuan Xiang felt particularly troublesome; even before acting, Gao Xuan had already mastered Heaven and Earth, trapping everyone in the setup he laid. This move was truly formidable. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Jinshan, feeling troubled, asked Xuan Xiang, "Master, how do we break this spell?"

The inversion of Heaven and Earth was so vast that Jinshan, facing an immense world, had no idea where to start.

"What's so difficult about this, killing Gao Xuan will naturally break this spell."

Xuan Xiang's tone was cold and severe; Jinshan panicking at minor changes was truly foolish.

Jinshan immediately understood; Jin Yuan and Lingxu also suddenly realized. Indeed, as long as they killed Gao Xuan, the trap would naturally be resolved.

It wasn't that they were stupid; it was truly Gao Xuan's inversion of Heaven and Earth was too astounding, really stunning even several Golden Body Arhats.

As for dozens of Arhats, not to mention. Each one, even if pretending calm, felt tumultuous inside like raging waves.

All the experts of the Northern Province Buddhist Sect were present, yet right away Gao Xuan had the upper hand. As they regained composure, all the Buddhist Sect members felt a bit disgruntled.

Xuan Xiang stepped forward and said, "Celestial Master Gao possesses remarkable divine techniques which this old monk admires. I, the old monk, also have a modest magic to seek your advice."

Xuan Xiang, resilient with age, felt instead invigorated upon witnessing Gao Xuan's awe-inspiring divine techniques and volunteered to confront Gao Xuan.

He chanted a spell quietly, and a Black Dragon flew out from behind him, the Black Dragon Dharma Aspect grew larger and turned into a giant dragon over a hundred yards long in an instant.

The Black Dragon's scales and horns were fully formed, its eyes crimson red, and its coiling massive body emanated clusters of Black Flames, filled with a sense of destruction.

In the distance, Celestial Fool stared straight at the Black Dragon, "Great Mighty Celestial Dragon, it even mastered the World-Ending True Flame, the old guy can indeed…"

Back then, Xuan Xiang was dominant with the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect. Thousands of years later, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect turned from illusion to reality, also mastering World-Ending True Flame. Such cultivation drew exclamations of admiration from Celestial Fool.

At this moment, Jinshan also stepped forward, holding a pair of Golden Cymbals, gently clanging, "Jinshan has a pair of Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals, I humbly ask the Celestial Master's guidance."

Jin Yuan stepped forward a few paces, took out a four-foot Vajra Pestle, "This humble monk has an out-in-the-world Vajra Demon-Slaying Pestle, I beseech for the Celestial Master's guidance."

Behind Jin Yuan, a Vajra Bright King Dharma Aspect appeared. Standing dozens of feet tall, the Vajra Bright King Dharma Aspect radiated solemnity, holding a massive Vajra Pestle, naturally exuding a sense of demon-vanquishing majesty between its brows.

Lingxu recited the Buddha's name high and loud, holding a Dharma Seal, with a massive, ugly black Dharma Aspect manifesting behind him. It was the Asura King among the Buddhist Sect, renowned as the foremost in slaughter.
