System's Super Sect Chapter 1002 932: Xuan Court Pavilion and the Yin Yang Family Show Goodwill (8000 Words) (Part 3)

What is occurring?

"Sect Leader Wen, what manner of technique is this?" Yun Shui Zai Tian couldn't help but approach Wen Ping, humbly posing his question.

He, too, possessed the Water Attribute Anomaly Vein.

Thus, the specifics of how Yun Liao achieved this were a source of great curiosity for him.

As Yun Shui Zai Tian's curiosity was evident, Wen Ping cast a glance towards Di Chen and the others. Noticing their equally inquisitive expressions, and operating under the notion of enlightening them, Wen Ping commenced his explanation.

"This sorcery is known as the Mirror Lake Barrier... it's a type of defensive magic. However, once one cultivates it to its peak, this Mirror Lake Barrier becomes a mere projection of thought. Transporting a few individuals is the most elementary of feats."

Wen Ping strategically amplified his voice, ensuring that his words reached a wider audience.

His intention was to implant the concept of this magic into everyone's minds.

This would serve as a solid groundwork for the future establishment of the Immortal Sect's magical framework!

Envisioning the future, the Immortal Sect would boast countless mages, soaring on broomsticks and wielding magic wands as they approached...

Such a spectacle would be nothing less than a scene from Harry Potter!

"I comprehend... so this also signifies that wherever the Mirror Lake Barrier exists, Yun Liao possesses the freedom to traverse?" Yun Shui Zai Tian promptly grasped the implication, recognizing the connection.

Wen Ping nodded in confirmation, concurring with Yun Shui Zai Tian's deduction. "Indeed, anywhere the Mirror Lake Barrier manifests, Yun Liao can venture at his will. It is purely a matter of thought."

This was precisely why Wen Ping had cautioned Chen Xie against underestimating the Five-Element Mage.

Magic, it turned out, was far from simple!

"Sect Leader Wen, this magic is truly extraordinary... I have a small request. Following the conclusion of this competition, might we engage in a more in-depth discussion regarding this magic?" Yun Shui Zai Tian, sensing his request might be perceived as too bold, hastily added, "Henceforth, Sect Leader Wen shall always be counted as a friend of my Xuan Court Pavilion. Should Sect Leader Wen ever require assistance, I, Yun, pledge my wholehearted support!"

"Ahem... might we also be included in this discussion?" The two venerable masters from the Yin Yang Family chimed in, their countenances adorned with obsequious smiles.

Wen Ping responded with a smile, shaking his head. "Very well, we shall converse thoroughly after the competition concludes, for I, Wen, shall reveal all."

After all, magic was destined to be detailed within the Immortal Daily for universal dissemination, so imparting knowledge to these two beforehand seemed reasonable.

Their offered friendship, Wen Ping surmised, was a worthwhile exchange.

As long as hostilities with You Country did not erupt, the alliance with these two families was undoubtedly robust.

This would greatly facilitate the expansion of the Immortal Daily throughout the Red Domain!

Without the opposition from these two established powers, broadcasting the Immortal Daily across the entirety of the Red Domain would become a straightforward endeavor.

Standing nearby, Jin Busan overheard this statement. A scowl briefly creased his brow before quickly vanishing.

"So what if magic is marvelous? Yun Liao is, in the end, but a single individual!" Jin Busan muttered internally, while outwardly offering words of praise to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping couldn't suppress a chuckle.

The pretense was simply too transparent.

Why was Jin Busan's act so lacking in finesse?

A genuine schemer would undoubtedly conceal their true intentions far more effectively.

...

Upon the expansive battlefield.

Yun Liao surveyed the four individuals from the Heaven-Defying Sect positioned beside him, then instructed, "You four remain here. Under this immense pressure, they will find it difficult to ascend. They pose no threat to you."

"Elder Yun, we appreciate your concern."

The four displayed expressions tinged with guilt.

Yun Liao offered a gentle smile. "As I selected you, I bear responsibility for your well-being. Should any harm befall you, that individual Wan Changqing would likely harbor resentment towards me for some time."

"However, you four exhibit considerable potential. After the conclusion of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, I wonder if Wan Changqing will permit you to depart?" Yun Liao began to contemplate their potential recruitment.

While these four might not possess the absolute zenith of talent within the Red Domain.

They undeniably demonstrated sufficient courage.

Nevertheless, they were worthy prospects.

It remained uncertain, however, whether Wan Changqing and Hao Qing would consent to releasing the trio.

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, the four from the Heaven-Defying Sect offered awkward smiles, refraining from a direct response.

"Very well, you four shall stay put." With these words, Yun Liao shifted his attention to the contingent from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

All preliminary probes had been conducted.

It was time to engage in earnest.

Intense pressure.

Extreme duress!

Boom—

The ground fractured and subsided at this very moment, with the five from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart sinking along with it, leaving a foot-deep impression.

Apart from the four from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart, the sole remaining heavenly talent from the Red Leaf Sect, situated in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, found themselves incapable of maintaining an upright stance.

Their knees buckled, touching the earth, while their hands, planted firmly on the ground like a bear's paws, strained to support their bodies.

Even though he was also within the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, the vast difference in Spirit Body quality and the significant gap in Spirit Body Realm placed him far below Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart.

In this confrontation, his fate was sealed: he was destined to remain on the ground until the very end.

Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart cast a dismissive glance his way, unconcerned, and then gathered Vein Qi beneath his feet, returning to stand firmly on the ground.

"Did you truly believe I couldn't handle you?" Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart's Meridian Gate trembled with fury, and Vein Qi coalesced once more in his vicinity.

Staircases materialized one after another before him; with each step Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart ascended, Vein Qi formed a new riser.

The trio immediately adopted the same tactic, ascending with determined steps.

United, the four were resolved to eliminate Yun Liao.

Yun Liao continued his ascent, noting the futility of their pursuit. With another wave of his magic wand, the Mirror Lake Barrier in the sky began to expand. This mirror, capable of reflecting light and illusion, swiftly enveloped the entire battlefield on the plain.

The sunlight, a gentle breeze, and the expanse of the sky were all obscured by this mirror. As the four from Extreme Heaven Sealing Heart gazed upward, their reflections and the ground beneath their feet were all they could perceive.

They had barely taken two more steps when the mirror began to stretch further, encompassing the barriers of the four plain battlefields as well.
