Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Chapter 14: Changsun Yu's Shock

In front of the grand hall atop Yuhua Sect's golden peak, Changsun Yu stood proudly in the air, gazing at the baby-faced Bai Yunfei with an impassive expression.

It was his first time seeing Bai Yunfei.

There was no personal grievance between them.

But their opposing stances had already determined Bai Yunfei's fate—death.

A cold glint flashed in Changsun Yu's eyes as he said, "You are the current Sect Master of Yuhua Sect?"

A gentle breeze swept over the golden peak's grand hall, lifting Bai Yunfei's robe slightly. He stood with his hands behind his back and nodded. "I am Bai Yunfei, the 120th Sect Master of Yuhua Sect."

"I heard you've been in secluded cultivation for the past two years, attempting to break through the Eighth Prohibition and save Yuhua Sect?" Changsun Yu's tone carried a hint of mockery. It had taken him a hundred years of closed-door cultivation to break through the Eighth Prohibition, and Bai Yunfei thought he could succeed in just two years?

Absurd.

Bai Yunfei nodded. "Yes, I was in seclusion and gained many insights. Though I'm still a step away from the Eighth Prohibition, I feel that killing you won't be a problem."

Changsun Yu was so enraged that he laughed. He sneered, "The Sect Master of Yuhua Sect turns out to be a delusional fool, spouting nonsense. Challenging an Eighth Prohibition expert while being at the Seventh Prohibition? You're dreaming."

Bai Yunfei said casually, "Over a hundred years ago, a disciple of Yuhua Sect named Zhou Sheng successfully defeated an Eighth Prohibition cultivator while only at the Seventh. How is that a mere fantasy?"

Changsun Yu's expression instantly darkened, and his gaze locked onto Bai Yunfei, bloodshot veins spreading in his eyes.

What Bai Yunfei had just mentioned was the eternal scar in his heart.

Changsun Yu gritted his teeth. "Do you know who Zhou Sheng killed?"

Bai Yunfei furrowed his brows in thought. "I believe it was an Eighth Prohibition Dao Ancestor named Changsun Wuji."

Changsun Yu's face was ice-cold as he said, "Then do you know my name?"

Bai Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly but said nothing.

Changsun Yu's expression was as frosty as ever as he stared at Bai Yunfei and declared, "My name is Changsun Yu. I am Changsun Wuji's younger brother."

Bai Yunfei suddenly understood and pointed at Changsun Yu. "So you're here to avenge your brother?"

Changsun Yu's eyes burned with hatred. "Zhou Sheng killed my brother, but he also perished at the hands of my Taishang Dao Sect's Grand Elder. Since I cannot take revenge on him personally, I will eradicate Yuhua Sect to console my brother's spirit in the afterlife."

Bai Yunfei stated plainly, "Then you're bound to be disappointed. Yuhua Sect will not fall."

Changsun Yu scoffed. "Won't fall? What a joke."

"Besides you, who else in Yuhua Sect is formidable?"

"Do you mean those few people in the Scripture Pavilion?"

"A mere Sixth Prohibition cultivator leading three at the Third Prohibition, plus you, a Seventh Prohibition—who in Yuhua Sect can stop me?"

Changsun Yu spread his arms arrogantly, completely dismissing the existence of Lin Jiufeng from the Scripture Pavilion.

Bai Yunfei, however, ignored Changsun Yu's arrogance and instead turned toward the Scripture Pavilion, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Senior Brother has broken through to the Sixth Prohibition?"

He distinctly remembered that before going into seclusion, his senior brother had only reached the Third Prohibition.

Yet in just a few short years, he was already at the Sixth?

It almost felt like it was Lin Jiufeng, not Bai Yunfei, who had been in secluded cultivation all this time.

At the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Jiufeng sensed Bai Yunfei's gaze and smiled. "Junior Brother, long time no see."

Bai Yunfei nodded and congratulated him, "Senior Brother has reached the Sixth Prohibition, truly a cause for celebration."

"But it won't be of any help in today's crisis," Lin Jiufeng said with some shame. "If I had a few more years, I might be able to contend with this Eighth Prohibition Dao Ancestor."

Bai Yunfei chuckled. "Crisis? There is no crisis for Yuhua Sect. It's just an Eighth Prohibition Dao Ancestor."

"Nothing to worry about."

Bai Yunfei's words utterly enraged Changsun Yu. His eyes narrowed as his aura surged like a tidal wave, layer upon layer, his cultivation method operating at full force. From within his body came a sound akin to a celestial river cascading from the heavens, resounding through the world.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled across the sky. Furious winds howled, sweeping across the surroundings, making him appear as if he commanded the very heavens and earth.

At this moment, Changsun Yu stood alone in the void, radiating divine light. He was like a celestial furnace, scorching all directions. His overwhelming presence sent shivers through the hearts of all who beheld him.

An Eighth Prohibition Dao Ancestor was no trivial matter.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Jiufeng felt the oppressive aura. Even though it wasn't directed at him, the sheer pressure was immense.

If he were to face it directly, even with the power of a hundred dragons and a hundred elephants, he might not last a single exchange.

Though the difference between the Sixth and Eighth Prohibitions was just two levels, the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

At this moment, the entire grand hall atop the golden peak was enveloped in divine radiance, as if sealed within a copper furnace. Changsun Yu stood in the center like a god!

He was impervious to all methods, unshakable like a mountain, radiant like the sun, exuding a brilliance that none dared to look upon directly.

"Do you still think I'm nothing to worry about?" Changsun Yu's voice boomed like divine thunder as he questioned Bai Yunfei.

The members of Taishang Dao Sect erupted in cheers. This was the power of an Eighth Prohibition Dao Ancestor.

Hearing the cheers, Changsun Yu was filled with pride. Unless a Ninth Prohibition expert emerged in this world, he stood at the pinnacle of power.

But when he looked at Bai Yunfei again, he noticed that Bai Yunfei remained completely unfazed. Despite the overwhelming pressure, he was as serene as a gentle breeze, as if he had merged with the very heavens and earth.

Bai Yunfei did not answer Changsun Yu's question. Instead, he asked, "How did Zhou Sheng manage to defeat your brother back then?"

Changsun Yu's face turned grim. "Why do you ask?"

Bai Yunfei smiled and took a step forward. "Was it through this technique?"

Boom!

His aura erupted, surging skyward. In an instant, dazzling celestial light filled the sky, obliterating Changsun Yu's oppressive force. The heavens trembled, waves surged, and divine radiance cascaded down.

At that moment, Bai Yunfei stood before the golden peak's grand hall with an aura that could devour the world!

From within him, a radiant white divine glow emerged, piercing through the clouds and transforming in the sky into something extraordinary.

Within this pure white radiance, a world was slowly taking shape, birthing and extinguishing life in a silent cycle.

Life and death intertwined, tranquil yet profound.

Changsun Yu was stunned—he had seen this before.

Memories of a hundred years past flooded his mind. He had once witnessed, from a great distance, Zhou Sheng using this very radiance to slay his brother.

Changsun Yu glared at Bai Yunfei in shock and fury, gritting his teeth. "This… This is the Feathered Ascension Scripture?"

At these words, everyone was astounded.

The Feathered Ascension Scripture—a supreme scripture of Yuhua Sect—was a renowned, unparalleled Daoist technique lost for three hundred years.

Now, Bai Yunfei wielded it.

Changsun Yu roared, "How do you know the Feathered Ascension Scripture?"

Bai Yunfei did not answer. He simply attacked.

"One hundred years ago, Zhou Sheng slew your brother with this technique."

"One hundred years later, I, Bai Yunfei, shall slay you the same way."

"You brothers will both perish beneath the Feathered Ascension Scripture."
