For those like Chu Ge whose cultivation was still shallow, it was actually not too bad—they didn't feel anything especially concrete.
They only sensed a tense, swords-drawn atmosphere between Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian.
Only the assembled great experts, whose cultivation had reached the level of mighty powers, could truly feel it—the overwhelming, boundless pressure pouring off Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian like an abyssal sea!
It was a deathly threat that made one's heart tremble.
After enduring it at close range for even a brief moment, their souls, flesh, and even every single pore on their bodies went into frantic warning mode, urging them to flee this place at once!
"Whew… that scared me to death. Why did that bad woman have to show up too…"
Su Lingyuan stuck out her tongue, still wearing a look of lingering fear.
She had been standing the closest just now and had naturally felt it most deeply.
'Dantai! That woman's surname is actually Dantai!'
Ye Chen clenched his fists tightly. That surname—Dantai—instantly stirred up memories of unbearable humiliation from his past!
'Dantai Xuanyin! Just you wait! One day, I'll drag you down from your lofty clouds and trample you under my feet without mercy!!!'
In his mind, the image of a woman flashed by. Ye Chen's expression became incomparably ferocious!
Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian had gone off somewhere to clash, and with the pressure greatly reduced, Su Lingyuan's eyes rolled about mischievously.
She familiarly sidled up to Chu Ge, her bright, beautiful eyes blinking rapidly.
In a sweet voice she said, "Junior brother, can you let Senior Sister take a look at that Brilliant Dragon Seal (Huanglong Seal)?"
Chu Ge always felt that when this overly familiar senior sister called him "junior brother," her mood seemed unusually pleased.
Su Lingyuan's words drew the attention of the other great experts, who all turned their gazes over.
They, too, wanted to see this long-lost supreme treasure of Taihuang.
But due to their status, it wasn't convenient for them to speak up directly.
Chu Ge nodded and handed the Brilliant Dragon Seal in his hand to Su Lingyuan.
Although this senior sister gave him a slightly strange feeling, Chu Ge didn't harbor too much wariness toward her.
Su Lingyuan reached out to take it and examined it carefully.
She only felt that the seal was somewhat heavy in the hand. It looked extremely ancient, and there were extremely fine cracks on its surface.
But she couldn't make out anything special. Pouting her lips, she returned the Brilliant Dragon Seal to Chu Ge.
She had originally thought that since she was also a Holy Body, she might be able to activate the Brilliant Dragon Seal as well.
Yet there was not the slightest response at all, which made her feel a little disappointed.
"The true spirit within the Brilliant Dragon Seal once awakened for a brief moment. After breaking the seal, it transmitted the Undying Brilliant Dragon Scripture to me, then fell back into slumber once more."
Chu Ge took the seal back and looked toward the assembled great experts.
There was deeper meaning in his words.
Xu Xiuzhu stroked his beard and nodded, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Chu Ge growing ever more satisfied and appreciative.
"It's fine. You were able to help the Brilliant Dragon Seal break its seal, gain the recognition of its true spirit, and receive its technique—this is naturally what you deserve. Cultivate in peace without worry."
"As for the Brilliant Dragon Seal, this matter will still need to await the Sacred Lord's decision."
"Additionally, once you formally enter the sect… formally join us, the Sacred Land will have further rewards for you. Your talent is extraordinary—cultivate diligently in the future."
Xu Xiuzhu paused briefly in his words, because even he could not tell who would ultimately prevail between Luo Huangjun and Tantai Jinglian.
Chu Ge nodded in acknowledgment.
At that very moment, the sky suddenly darkened!
In the next instant, a blazing red radiance surged violently, sweeping across the thousands of miles of surrounding heavens!
Even standing below, Chu Ge could feel the temperature around him skyrocket in an instant!
Fortunately, although it felt scorching and uncomfortable, there was no sensation of being burned.
After the dazzling red light engulfed the sky—
A clear, piercing cry suddenly rang out from the firmament!
In the next moment, a pair of colossal, sky-covering phantom wings unfurled, completely blanketing the thousands of miles of crimson clouds in the heavens!
The void began to tremble. Chu Ge felt the ground beneath his feet start to shake as well.
When he raised his head to look again, the phenomenon had already disappeared.
All that remained was a vast expanse of void riddled with horrifying cracks spreading everywhere, like a shattered mirror!
At a glance, it looked as though even the sky itself had been torn open!
Such a scene of battle was enough to make one's heart pound in terror!
"Thankfully, the two senior sisters were truly just verifying each other's cultivation and didn't go all out."
