Lady Wanshou gazed upward, her vision piercing through the Great to see the outside of the .

Above the Great , the sky had been clear and azure, cloudless for ten thousand li. Now, as the Medicine Sovereign arrived, his momentum was vast and overwhelming, rolling winds and clouds that stained the entire firmament orange-gold.

The Medicine Sovereign's figure was nowhere to be seen, but his voice carried down: "Old friend Snowy Mountain, I apologize for this unannounced visit."

His voice resounded through heaven and earth, penetrating the Great , shaking countless snow peaks until snow cascaded down in torrents. Some peaks even triggered small avalanches.

"Hahaha." The Snowy Mountain Ancestor laughed heartily as he soared skyward, leaving the Great behind. Surrounded by rolling waves of frost and ice, he ascended into the heavens.

Immediately the sky transformed—one half blazing with orange-gold radiance, the other surging with frost and ice, the two forces locked in equal opposition.

But just then, from the west, a mass of pitch-black ink clouds arrived without warning.

The ink clouds churned ceaselessly, spreading with astonishing speed. Their presence was no less imposing than the Snowy Mountain Ancestor's or the Medicine Sovereign's, forcefully carving out a domain of their own in the sky.

Seeing this, Lady Wanshou's expression changed. Her heart sank, and she blurted out: "What— the Centipede Heavenly Lord is here as well?!"

The ink clouds, frost, and orange light surged and roiled in stalemate, dividing the sky spanning millions of li into three separate domains.

The Snowy Mountain Ancestor let out a cold laugh: "Heavenly Lord, shouldn't you be managing your own forces instead of joining in on this spectacle?"

The Centipede Heavenly Lord gave two dry laughs. "Old friend Snowy Mountain, it's merely a trivial Fangcun Mountain. How could it possibly catch your eye? Why not return it to the and spare everyone this trouble?"

Lady Wanshou's face immediately turned ashen. The Gu Immortals who had remained behind in the Great were also watching the sky, their breath catching in their chests.

The Centipede Heavenly Lord had originally been a rogue cultivator, but ever since the auction assembly, he had been scheming to establish a faction. Now, joining forces with the Medicine Sovereign, it was two against one. The Snowy Mountain Ancestor stood alone—the situation was looking dire!

But in the next moment, the Snowy Mountain Ancestor threw his head back and laughed, his laughter soaring to the clouds: "Then come at me together! We'll settle this with a fight!"

With that, he shot straight into the sky. With a thunderous crash, the Snowy Mountain Ancestor smashed through the Heavenly Force Barrier and entered the White Heaven.

When Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals fought, their power was vast and terrifying—far too great for the earth to bear. Normally, they would tacitly descend into the Primordial Nine Heavens to do battle, sparing the mortal world from unimaginable devastation.

"If my dear friend is in the mood, then this Sovereign shall oblige." The Medicine Sovereign's gaze flickered, and he swiftly followed.

The Centipede Heavenly Lord paused, then smiled bitterly. "Since you insist, Old friend Snowy Mountain, then this Heavenly Lord must ask your forgiveness for the offense."

All three Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals entered the White Heaven. Soon, thunderous explosions echoed from the sky.

"They're fighting in the White Heaven!" someone among the Gu Immortals exclaimed.

They had not yet reached the Great —still ten thousand li away. Looking up at the sky from afar, they could see the heavens churning ceaselessly: ink clouds roiling, pure white frost erupting, and orange light spreading in every direction.

The rumbling was incessant, like thunderclaps on a clear day, enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Quick—while they're locked in combat, we enter the Great !" Feng Jiuge gazed for a single moment before swiftly withdrawing his gaze, a flash of sharp light flickering through his eyes.

The Gu Immortals drew deep breaths. These were all individuals of great skill and courage; hearing Feng Jiuge's command, they felt a long-absent surge of tension and excitement, and their speed surged.

Awooo!

Midway through their flight, an ancient wild beast wailed as it plummeted from the sky.

The Gu Immortals hastily dodged.

"That's a Heaven-Maimed Dog!" The immortals recognized the ancient wild beast's origin, their eyes going wide.

With a muffled boom, the Heaven-Maimed Dog crashed into the ground like a meteorite, slamming into the earth and smashing out a massive crater. It struggled a few times, then went still.

"They knocked a Heaven-Maimed Dog right out of the White Heaven."

"How can the power of an Eighth Transformation be so savage?!"

"Just the aftershocks of their battle, and the Heaven-Maimed Dog died so miserably..."

"Watch out!"

The warning had barely left someone's lips when massive hailstones began crashing down from the sky.

Each hailstone was as large as a mountain peak, the hailstorm covering a thousand-li radius. The bone-piercing cold froze everything in its path to death, forcing the immortals to detour.

Crack!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning's residual energy descended from the sky, grazing the hem of the Gu Immortal Old Calculator's robes.

Old Calculator screamed in agony, hastily retreating from the blinding electric light. Nearly half his body was gone—he was immediately gravely wounded and on the verge of death.

After traveling a while longer, drawing ever closer to the Great , a gust of sinister wind blew slantwise, causing the Gu Immortals' souls to waver, nearly slipping from their physical bodies.

The higher a Gu Immortal's cultivation, the greater the gap between each transformation. The difference between the Eighth and Seventh Transformations was simply heaven and earth. To rival an Eighth Transformation with only a Seventh had been exceedingly rare throughout all of history. In all the countless years, the vast had produced only one such figure—Feng Jiuge.

The Gu Immortals were blown haphazardly about, barely managing to conceal their presence. Their faces were all grim.

All signs indicated that the combat strength of the ' Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals exceeded that of the 's!

The had more Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals than the . Among the Five Regions, the had the fewest. This was because warfare in the was extremely frequent—of all the Five Regions, Gu Immortals there had the highest mortality rate.

In the , those who could fight their way through besieging armies, stand at the pinnacle of the Eighth Transformation, and hold their ground were anything but ordinary. They had to be heroes among heroes, with not even a sliver of luck or chance involved.

The mere aftershocks leaking from the White Heaven left the Gu Immortals in wretched disarray.

Old Calculator had narrowly escaped death and restored his form, his face still etched with disbelief and lingering terror. He kept muttering: "How is this possible? That lightning struck and I couldn't even predict it in advance?"

Bu Feiyan's gaze wavered. Putting herself in Old Calculator's position, she realized that even with her movement abilities, she would not have been able to escape that bolt of lightning. She couldn't help but ask: "Should we continue forward?"

Chen Zhenchi looked up and saw that the sky above had become like a rag stitched together from countless patches. Zones of power overlapped, each covering an area large or small, intertwined with one another. In some places, dark clouds rolled; in others, sinister winds blew, lightning struck down, or hailstones smashed about in chaos.
