A terrifying power suddenly surged, making one’s scalp tingle.

"Are there more ferocious creatures?"

All the Mystic Yellow List prodigies fighting over the Black Candle suddenly stopped, their expressions bearing a hint of heaviness.

The current situation was somewhat unexpected.

Underground, boundless power seemed to be erupting.

As a result, both the Blood Sea Giant Snake and the Mountain Dragon Transformation, as well as the Great Ruins Demon Vine were affected to varying degrees.

On the side of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, Zheng Wushan and Elder Chu, along with others, witnessed the changes in the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua after contacting the Black Candle. They all ascended to protect the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua, in case anyone attacked.

"This is probably not an Immortal Treasure!"

As they watched the boundless darkness seemingly about to taint the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua, Elder Chu’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Originally ethereal and radiant with Immortal Light, the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua was now seemingly being corrupted by the darkness, as if about to blacken.

Zheng Wushan maintained his composure, speaking gravely, "Throughout history, a total of eight kinds of Immortal Bodies have appeared, among which there is one known as the Dark Immortal Body, a peerless physique. Perhaps what Yun Si obtained is the Dark Immortal Body!"

Although there are said to be Nine Great Immortal Bodies, only eight types have appeared in history.

Taiyang Immortal Body, Taiyin Immortal Body, Purity Immortal Body, Dark Immortal Body, Evergreen Immortal Body, Silent Annihilation Immortal Body, Void Immortal Body, Heavenly Time Immortal Body.

They respectively represent yang, yin, clarity, murkiness, life, death, emptiness, time.

As for the Eternal Immortal Body representing strength, it is only known by name, never seen.

Not even Ye Xuan, let alone Zheng Wushan, has seen the Eternal Immortal Body.

This physique seems never to have appeared.

The current situation faced by the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua reminded Zheng Wushan of the Dark Immortal Body.

If true, that would be a fortunate occurrence.

"Protect Yun Si!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Chu straightforwardly ordered the experts from the Yuhua Immortal Sect and the Ruyi Sect to guard the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua.

One is to guard against the other Mystic Yellow List people, and secondly to defend against the current mutation.

There might be more ferocious creatures appearing.

But no matter what, their mission was to protect the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua.

The Mysterious Woman of Yuhua was not only the successor of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, but also the named disciple of Emperor Mu, one of the Double Emperors.

If anything happened to her, Emperor Mu might direct his wrath at the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Currently, however, everyone’s focus had changed, and they did not have the intention of attacking the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua.

"Dao Pattern..."

A young man dressed in a Taiji Daoist robe, with a Flying Sword strapped to his back, was crouched on the ground, pressing his palm against it, with a grave expression.

His name is Mu Tian, ranked fifth on the Mystic Yellow List, from an ancient secluded sect on the Divine Continent, the Supreme Eight Diagrams Sect.

Mu Tian looked up towards another direction.

There stood a tall man dressed in a long robe, seemingly in his twenties, very composed.

At this moment, sensing Mu Tian’s gaze, the man’s expression became incredibly solemn, nodding slightly.

This person was ranked thirteenth on the Mystic Yellow List, just like the twelfth-ranked Ziwei Saint Heir, from Daozhou.

His name is Wu Ting.

From...

Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!

However, he was not a disciple of this generation but of the previous generation of Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

When Ye Xuan visited Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, Wu Ting was not in the sect but was traveling through the Divine Continent.

He is a close friend of Mu Tian from the Supreme Eight Diagrams Sect on the Divine Continent.

"It is indeed a Dao Pattern."

Not far from Mu Tian, a handsome man in a blood-red Daoist robe squinted his eyes.

This is Hua Ming, ranked eighteenth on the Mystic Yellow List, from Earth State.

He is the only prodigy from Earth State on the Mystic Yellow List, aside from Zhou Ye, who is ranked second. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

However, unlike Zhou Ye from the orthodox Daoist sect, Immortal Capital Pavilion, Hua Ming is from the evil path, originating from Hua Tian Prefecture in Earth State.

Hua Tian Prefecture was originally from the Daoist sect but later turned to heretical demon ways.

Of course, Hua Tian Prefecture itself does not consider itself heretical demons, merely believing its Dao to be different, much like each heritage in the Daoist sect’s Ten Grottos Heavens, Thirty-six Grotto Heavens, and Seventy-two Blessed Lands has its own Daoist Technique.

Hua Ming has trained in Daoist Techniques since childhood, so his perception of Dao Patterns is very keen.

Ziwei Saint Heir was now suspended in the air, closing his eyes, his thumbs tapping on the joints of his other fingers, calculating.

Inheriting the Ziwei Doushu, the Ziwei Saint Heir has the demeanor of a Great Emperor, which is not an exaggeration.

But after calculating for a while, the Ziwei Saint Heir suddenly stopped and abruptly opened his eyes, his face turning pale, a trace of golden blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Ziwei Saint Heir’s gaze dimmed, and he spoke with some helplessness, "Can’t calculate it..."

The power of this Dao Pattern was too extensive; with his current cultivation, he couldn’t calculate it.

"However..."

The Ziwei Saint Heir slightly raised his head, his gaze falling onto the Mysterious Woman of Yuhua, flashing with a gleam, "This must be an Immortal Treasure, absolutely not to be missed."

The Ziwei Saint Heir withdrew his gaze, looking at Zhou Ye. He could see this, and he believed Zhou Ye could also see it.

Yet for some reason, this guy had no intention of making a move from beginning to end.

Feeling the gaze of the Ziwei Saint Heir, Zhou Ye looked up, smiled slightly, and said, "Your cultivation is very high indeed, fellow Daoist!"

The Ziwei Saint Heir nodded in acknowledgment, not saying much more.

The two were from orthodox Daoist sects, adept in various Daoist Techniques; one from the Ziwei Sacred Land, inheriting the Ziwei Doushu.

Although their ranks on the Mystic Yellow List were quite different, the depth of their Daoist Techniques was yet to be determined.

"This is an Array Dao Pattern!"

At this time, an old Daoist accompanying Zhou Ye suddenly opened his eyes, shooting two substantial beams of golden light.

"Uncle Master, is there a need to be so surprised?"

Zhou Ye dug his ear with a look of speechlessness.

The old Daoist glared at Zhou Ye, saying, "That indicates there is danger brewing here. If you’re not planning to seize the opportunity, you should start running away."

Zhou Ye replied unhurriedly, "With an old True Person like you here, what harm can there be?"

The old Daoist cursed exasperatedly, "Damn it, you little brat, what do you take me for? This is the Great Ruins!"

Bang—

However, at this moment, another mutation occurred, the originally suppressed Great Ruins Demon Vine suddenly intensified its power, its endless vines rapidly enveloping the entire World Tree.

Along with that, covering the Black Candle within its ’hunting’ range.

This balance was broken, the Blood Sea Giant Snake and Mountain Dragon Transformation seemed to plan to join forces again, to fight the Great Ruins Demon Vine!

Boom!

But this time, even with their joint efforts, they could not subdue the Great Ruins Demon Vine!

The Blood Sea Giant Snake was directly knocked back to its original form, turning into a towering peak, with the Big Python upon it disappearing.

And the Mountain Dragon Transformation also reverted to a mountain range, no longer displaying its marvel.

This was an oppression by a Forbidden Power.

Neither the Blood Sea Giant Snake nor the Mountain Dragon Transformation could match it!

In the distant area.

Sitting atop a mountain peak, Ye Xuan calmly watched afar, murmuring softly, "I knew it was you causing trouble."

(ps: Seeing some readers mentioning Ye Xuan ranking first, Old Ghost clarifies, the name Youwei is engraved above Ye Xuan, but not ranked on the Mystic Yellow List.)
