Chapter 370
After returning to the mountain gate, Ziyue first submitted the return receipt to the Internal Affairs Pavilion and went straight to his cave residence.
"Immortal Bai, you are back?"
"Hello, Immortal Bai!"
As soon as Ziyue returned to the cave residence, two surprised shouts came.
Gao Ming and Fu Yongyu quickly put down the work in their hands and quickly greeted him.
"It seems that during my absence, you have taken good care of the spiritual field."
Ziyue smiled slightly. The spiritual rice planted in the spiritual field in the distance was now lush, and the spiritual rice was faintly bearing fruit. Obviously, it was growing very well.
On the other side, although the Spirit-gathering Tree was still in the seedling state, it had the preliminary effect of gathering spiritual energy, making the surrounding spiritual energy quite abundant.
"We dare not neglect Immortal Bai's instructions."
Gao Ming hurriedly said.
"Immortal Bai, since you are back this time, you won't leave, right?"
Fu Yongyu also asked quickly.
"I won't stay for a few days. I just happened to come back for something."
Ziyue waved his hand and said.
"By the way, Immortal Bai, a little girl came over a few days ago. She said her name was Zhao Yue 'er. She seemed to want to say goodbye to you.
She also left a wooden box for you. We didn't dare to act rashly, so we put it away first. "
Fu Yongyu seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly ran to the bamboo house where he lived. He quickly took out a wooden box and handed it over.
"Zhao Yue 'er? Goodbye? "
Bai Ziyue frowned and hurriedly received the wooden box.
This was a red sandalwood wooden box, one foot long and two inches high. There were two enchantments on it, one big and one small. The small enchantment looked immature. Obviously, it was set by Zhao Yue 'er herself.
As for the bigger enchantment, it had a certain amount of power. If an ordinary person tried to break it by force, not only would it be difficult to succeed, but it would automatically destroy the things in the wooden box, and it would also backfire. Its power was at least equivalent to the full blow of a cultivator who had just entered the Aperture Awakening Realm.
Obviously, this big enchantment should be left by Zhao Yue 'er's master, Zhu Shuizhen.
The enchantment was intact, so no one had opened it.
After giving his thanks, Ziyue stepped into the cave under the gazes of the two who were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
Ziyue looked at the wooden box in front of him in confusion. He did not hesitate and directly used the Restriction Breaking Technique to open the restriction.
Three to five minutes later, the restriction was broken, and he opened the wooden box.
"Hmm? Spirit stones? And another Jade Map? "
Ziyue blinked in confusion.
There weren't many Spirit Stones. Two mid-grade Spirit Stones and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones added up to two hundred and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones.
He vaguely had some guesses. He quickly scanned the jade with his Divine Sense and immediately received the information in the Eye Jade Slip.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was also inexplicably moved.
"I didn't expect that the little fellow had been secretly accumulating spirit stones for me …"
Ziyue couldn't help but think of the scene when he first joined the Chaoyang Sect. Zhao Yue 'er chose to worship Zhu Shuizhen as her master because she was willing to lend him ten thousand Karma points.
At that time, he thought it was just her childish words. He didn't expect that she would take it as her own motto and keep it in mind.
Although he broke through to the Aperture Enlightening Realm with his own ability, Zhao Yue 'er had been silently accumulating spirit stones little by little …
Ziyue suddenly felt that the two hundred and thirty-seven low-grade Spirit Stones seemed a little heavy.
"By the way, leave? I hope it's not too late. "
Ziyue seemed to suddenly think of something. He was shocked and quickly walked out of the cave and went straight to the Hall of Inheritance where Zhao Yue 'er's master, Zhu Shuizhen was.
In the Jade Map, although Zhao Yue 'er said goodbye, she didn't say what the reason was.
She was so sincere. As her brother, he naturally had to go with her.
The Chaoyang Sect covered a large area, but with his speed, it didn't take long for him to use the Light Body Technique.
Soon, a quaint and tall palace appeared in front of him.
Hall of Inheritance!
Here, in fact, was where many disciples of the Chaoyang Sect cultivated.
Ziyue had never been here because he was a rogue cultivator and entered the sect. He had always adhered to his own cultivation philosophy.
"Big Brother!"
Zhao Yue 'er looked at Ziyue with an excited face and said cheerfully.
When she heard from her master that Ziyue was already at the door of the cave and was about to visit, she hurriedly rushed over and welcomed him in excitedly.
"When the little girl heard that you were coming, she was so excited that she ran over in one breath."
Zhu Shuizhen followed behind her and said with a smile.
"Big Brother hasn't come to see me for a long time."
Zhao Yue 'er said in low spirits.
"Didn't I come to see you?"
Ziyue smiled slightly, touched Zhao Yue 'er's head, and said, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, Little Yue' er has grown a little taller, and your cultivation progress is not small."
"I have broken through to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage."
Zhao Yue 'er immediately raised her head and said proudly.
Ziyue nodded, looked at Zhu Shuizhen and said, "Thank you, Immortal Zhu."
"She is my disciple, and I will definitely teach her with all my heart.
To be able to make such progress, it was also related to her talent.
It's a pity that I can't teach her for too long. "
Zhu Shuizhen shook her head and said with a little sadness.
"By the way, I received the wooden box that Yue 'er left me before. What did she mean by saying that she was leaving?"
Ziyue said, staring at Zhao Yue 'er and said, "Take back the spirit stones inside. Do you think I lack these things?"
"No! This is my gift to Big Brother. "
Zhao Yue 'er hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and said.
Ziyue was helpless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll give you something in return. You can't refuse.
I've set up a restriction on it. When you unlock it, you'll be able to see the gift inside.
I hope you can unlock it with your own ability. Do you understand? "
With that, he took out a storage bag and handed it over.
"Okay!"
Zhao Yue 'er hurriedly responded.
Seeing this, Zhu Shuizhen smiled slightly, showing a trace of affection. Then she said, "Yue 'er is usually soft and weak, but she is very strong.
Now that you said so, she will definitely set it as her goal for a long time.
"As for the gift, I guess she should remember that you wanted the Barrier Breaking Pill and the Enlightenment Pill, so she has been accumulating spirit stones to help you.
"So, this little ingrate even secretly sold some of the rewards I gave her in exchange for spirit stones.
"In addition, she also secretly took some small tasks to help people nourish the spiritual medicine seeds and engrave low-level restrictions to earn spirit stones …"
Speaking of this, Zhu Shuizhen's face showed a trace of helplessness.
Zhao Yue 'er blushed, lowered her head slightly and didn't speak.
"As for leaving …"
Zhu Shuizhen pondered for a while before saying, "You should know about the competition for the 12 places when people from the outer region arrive.
"Every 30 years, the Heavenly Spirit Sect from the outer region will sail a warship and come here. They will select 12 outstanding cultivators under the age of 50 to join the Heavenly Spirit Sect and go to the outer region together.
"Yue 'er's talent is so strong that she is one in a million among those who have the aptitude for immortal cultivation.
"Even if her strength is not enough to compete for a place, her talent trumps everything. She will definitely be able to occupy one of the places.
"That's why she wants to say goodbye to you.
"Because it won't be long before she steps on the Heavenly Spirit Sect's warship and goes to the outer region."
"I see!"
Ziyue suddenly understood and was overjoyed.
He had already decided to compete for one of the 12 places. If he could have Zhao Yue 'er as his companion, it could be considered a good thing.
"Of course, the premise of all this is that we can smoothly reach the Ancient Barrens City and not be killed.
"Now in the outside world, there are endless assassination methods for genius disciples. During this period of time, the number of potential powerhouses who have died is more than ten.
"It just so happens that fellow cultivator Bai is back. I wonder if you would be willing to escort Yue 'er to the Ancient Barrens City together?"
Immediately after, Zhu Shuizhen's tone changed and she suggested again.
She also saw that Ziyue was also at the peak of the early stage of the Enlightenment Realm. She had the idea that one more person would be more power, so she made such a suggestion.
"Actually, you don't have to be too worried.
"This time, in addition to the sect sending a cultivator at the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm as a guardian, I have also invited Elder Gu and Elder Tang to accompany us.
"As long as it is not a powerhouse at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, we can basically guarantee our safety."
Zhu Shuizhen seemed to be afraid that Ziyue would refuse, so she hurriedly said again.
"When?"
Ziyue was a little puzzled as to why the sect did not invite powerhouses at the peak of the Enlightenment Realm like the Great Elder and the Second Elder to go with them. As far as he knew, the grandnephew of the Great Elder, Qin Feiyu, would also participate in the competition for the 12 places. If he went with them, their safety would definitely be greatly increased.
However, he already had plans to go to the Ancient Barrens City, so he naturally had no reason to disagree.
"Tomorrow morning!"
Zhu Shuizhen was delighted and took the opportunity to say.
…
After leaving Zhu Shuizhen's cave abode, Ziyue did not return to his own cave abode. Instead, he turned around and went directly to the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
Since there was only one day left, they had to set off for the Ancient Barrens City.
Ziyue predicted that if he won the place, he would definitely not have the opportunity to return to the sect.
Therefore, he naturally had to take advantage of this period of time to quickly exchange for the Divine Power in the sect.
Although he had already mastered the Shrinking Earth Divine Power and had the Great Immortal Martial Handprint and the Immortal Martial Colored Light that were comparable to Divine Powers, he still had the Great Immortal Martial Handprint and the Immortal Martial Colored Light.
However, the Light of Nirvana of the Chaoyang Sect was a real offensive Divine Power and was extremely powerful. Naturally, he would not let it go.
Especially when he had sufficient Spirit Stones.
Therefore, his figure soon appeared in a secret room of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
The person who received him was his old acquaintance, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Internal Affairs Pavilion, Immortal Master Zhang Shaohua.
Chapter 371
"I didn't expect Alchemist Bai to have accumulated enough Karma points to exchange for treasures so quickly.
What would you like to exchange for this time? "
It hadn't been long since Ziyue had exchanged for treasures, so Zhang Shaohua had a deep impression of him.
In particular, he had vaguely heard some rumors about Bai Ziyue, so he had some doubts in his heart.
Ziyue didn't care about what others thought. He looked at the treasure exchange list and saw the Divine Light of Obliteration on the first page. His breath quickened.
Then, he looked at the other treasures again.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
It could be said that this was the last time Bai Ziyue would be exchanging treasures here. Hence, he was extremely meticulous in his observation.
After a while, he stopped and looked at Zhang Shaohua. He said calmly, "I've made my choice."
"What are they?"
Zhang Shaohua asked casually.
"Divine Light of Obliteration …"
As soon as Bai Ziyue opened his mouth, he was immediately interrupted by a surprised voice.
"Divine Light of Obliteration?"
Zhang Shaohua was no longer as relaxed as before. He asked loudly.
"Yes, Divine Light of Obliteration!"
Ziyue looked up and nodded. He continued, "Then there's the Zhou Acupoint Map, a Jade Box with Spirit Sealing Jade, and ten elixir recipes. They are …"
"You … you want all of them?"
Zhang Shaohua asked involuntarily.
"Is there a problem?"
Ziyue replied softly.
"Is there a problem?"
Zhang Shaohua was stunned.
Of course there was a problem. The Divine Light of Obliteration was priced at one million Karma points. The Zhou Acupoint Map was also priced at eight hundred and eighty thousand Karma points.
Besides that, the elixir recipes and the Jade Box with Spirit Sealing Jade were all valuable items.
However, Ziyue just asked casually, "Is there a problem?"
However, he still refrained from saying it out loud. Instead, he forced himself to calm down and said, "All these things will cost a total of 3.3 million Karma points."
"There's a total of three million three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones in this storage bag. You can count them."
Ziyue simply handed over a storage pouch.
He naturally knew how shocking it was for an ordinary cultivator to take out so many spirit stones to exchange for so many valuable items.
However, although it was somewhat risky, he did not have much time left. He really did not want to waste this opportunity and leave behind regrets.
Among them, there was no need to talk about the Divine Light of Annihilation. As long as it was a divine ability, no one would dislike it. He had long coveted this divine ability in the sect, so naturally, he would not give it up.
As for the Universal Acupoint Map, it was a map of all the acupoints collected by the sect. The total number of acupoints included in the map was actually a shocking 1,080 acupoints, far surpassing the 795 acupoints he collected outside.
Since this was related to the Consummation of his lit acupoints, he would not give up on it. Even if he had to sell everything he had, he had to get it.
As for the Spirit Restricting Jade Box, it was a kind of item to preserve spiritual vitality. It could be used to transplant spiritual objects. It was a preparation for the transplant of the Spirit-gathering Tree with a Precious Cover. It was also something he needed …
In short, this time, he was indeed taking a risk.
However, now that he had the general trend, his strength was invincible under the God Realm. If he really faced a God Realm expert, even if he could not defeat him, he would still have the power to fight back.
Not to mention, in the Zhaoyang Sect, the sect leader had left, and the Taishang Elder was in seclusion. Even if there were people in the sect who dared to be greedy, he would not have the slightest fear.
Whoever came, he would just kill them.
Anyway, in the sect, no one dared to act rashly. He was still very safe.
"Yes … Yes …"
Zhang Shaohua nodded blankly and took the storage bag.
After a while, he remembered to use his Divine Sense to check it.
There was no problem with the total number of spiritual stones.
After all, Zhang Shaohua was an Enlightened Immortal Master. Although he was still a little shocked, he had already calmed down a lot. He said, "According to the rules, you can only use the skills you exchange from the sect, and you can't pass it to others.
Especially that Divine Sense, you need to make a Blood Oath to guarantee that you can't pass it to anyone except yourself. Otherwise, even if you have enough Karma points, it can't be passed to you.
What you need to understand is that for us cultivators, the Blood Oath will be directly fulfilled.
As the saying goes, when the Heavens emit killing intent, the stars will shift; when the Earth emits killing intent, dragons and snakes will rise; when people emit killing intent, the Heavens and Earth will be turned upside down. "
"I understand!"
Ziyue nodded and said.
This was actually a kind of curse. Once violated, the Heavens and Earth would sense it, and naturally, there would be punishment.
He exchanged for it for his own cultivation. He had never thought of passing it to others, so naturally, he did not have to worry about it.
…
It was already a few hours later when he returned to his cave abode.
It was worth mentioning that the sect's Divine Light of Annihilation was also inscribed on a Dao Source Stone tablet. Ziyue spent an hour studying it before he officially memorized the entire formula of the Divine Sense.
At least, there was now another record of the Divine Sense on his Attribute Panel.
As for the actual cultivation, he still needed to spend time and effort to cultivate.
"I still don't know the power of the Divine Sense, but this Jade Slip."
Ziyue sat cross-legged in the cultivation cave abode. With a flip of his hand, a Jade Slip appeared in his hand.
What was recorded in this Jade Slip was the Map of Acupoints that he had exchanged from the sect.
With a slight brush of his Divine Sense, the information inside immediately flowed into his mind.
"There are indeed one thousand and eighty acupoints … The location of each acupoint, how to sense it, and how to probe it are all clearly explained and explained.
Moreover, if one ignites all one thousand and eighty acupoints, the Origin Energy in one's body will immediately transform and form Heavenly Cycle Power. It can also evolve into a Heavenly Cycle Defense Spell that automatically protects one's body. This is equivalent to having a natural protective spell. "
Ziyue's eyes lit up, feeling a little surprised.
The Heavenly Cycle Defense Spell's automatic protective effect was naturally faster than ordinary spells. In the event of a sneak attack, it would be enough to save one's life at a critical moment.
"Moreover, I don't have to deliberately cultivate this spell. I only need to ignite all one thousand and eighty acupoints recorded in the Heavenly Cycle Acupoints Map to be able to use it instinctively …"
Ziyue sighed slightly, but did not take it to heart.
As for defensive spells, he already had the Five Elements Shield Technique and the Celestial Martial Glazed Light. In particular, the Celestial Martial Glazed Light combined with the Celestial Martial Technique and the Celestial Martial True Body was a defensive spell that was comparable to a Divine Sense.
Naturally, he did not value the Heavenly Cycle Defense Spell that much.
Of course, he was naturally very happy to have an additional life-saving spell.
"One thousand and eighty acupoints, compared with the 795 acupoints that I have already mastered … If this is the case, the number of acupoints that I have now mastered has reached the level of one thousand one hundred and thirty-three acupoints?"
Ziyue made a comparison and soon came to a conclusion.
He was immediately excited.
One thousand one hundred and thirty-three acupoints were only one hundred and sixty-six acupoints away from the one thousand two hundred and ninety-six acupoints that were needed to complete the acupoints. It was not a small number, but it was definitely not a large number.
"However, the remaining one hundred and sixty-six acupoints will probably be more difficult to collect than before.
Perhaps I can only really collect acupoints with the help of the more prosperous Immortal Cultivation world in the Extraterritorial Domain when I really set foot in the Extraterritorial Domain? "
Ziyue thought to himself and finally calmed down a little.
The further one progressed, the more difficult it was to collect new acupoints.
It would be extremely difficult to collect a large number of acupoints in one go in the sect.
Unless …
As he thought to himself, Ziyue shook his head. No matter how confident he was, he did not dare to really go to the other major Immortal Cultivation sects and forcefully ask for the acupoint catalog.
…
"There's still some time, just enough for me to take the Spirit Awakening Pill and quickly increase the strength of my Divine Sense.
In this way, I can be more at ease when I encounter those experts who are good at Divine Sense attacks. "
Ziyue looked at the sky and estimated the time. With a thought, a fiery-red gourd immediately appeared beside him.
Spirit Sealing Gourd!
When he opened the gourd, seven shiny black Spirit Pills with faint traces of special patterns on the surface appeared in front of him.
Spirit Awakening Pill!
Ziyue used the Pill Identification Technique to carefully identify the Spirit Pills. After confirming that there were no problems, he finally swallowed one of the Spirit Pills.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, it was as if a special power had exploded.
Ziyue felt that his Divine Sense seemed to have received a special kind of nourishment. It floated slightly and rapidly grew.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
After the period it took an incense stick to burn, he slowly opened his eyes.
"My Divine Sense has increased by thirty percent!"
Ziyue's Divine Sense floated and clearly sensed the strength of the Spirit Awakening Pill.
Although the strength was slightly superficial compared to the previous refinement, it was still a solid improvement.
This also caused him to feel a burst of excitement.
The shortcoming of his Divine Sense was about to be fixed.
"Continue!"
Without hesitation, he picked up another Spirit Pill and swallowed it.
Following it, the third, fourth, fifth …
In the end, he swallowed the sixth and seventh Spirit Pills together.
A special power exploded in his mind. His mind became clear, and his inspiration surged. His thoughts, his thinking, and his perception, at this moment, seemed to have received a kind of sublimation, becoming unprecedentedly active.
Various thoughts flowed in his mind like flickering light and passing shadows.
As his Divine Sense grew stronger with the Spirit Pills, it seemed to have contributed to the change, causing his thoughts to become more intense.
In a trance, he began to think carefully about the Martial Arts he was practicing.
The Purple Qi Visualization Art and the Immortal Martial Art. The advantages and disadvantages of the two Immortal Cultivation Arts were magnified one by one, then combined and rearranged, as if they were merging.
Following it, his inspiration surged, as if he had a natural ability to control it, allowing him to confidently combine the Martial Arts he had learned on his path of cultivation and merge them together.
Chapter 372
It felt like a long time had passed, but it also felt like it was only a moment.
Ziyue regained his senses, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
He had an epiphany!
He did not expect that he would enter a state of epiphany when he took the Spirit Awakening Pill.
Furthermore, he had made use of this epiphany to create a new technique.
Unfortunately, the duration of this epiphany was too short. He had only completed some embryonic forms and had not created a complete technique.
"However, although this is only the embryonic form of the technique, the concept and framework of the technique have all been sorted out by me.
Next, I just need to fill up the acupoints included in the technique with this concept, and the technique will naturally take shape. "
Ziyue was somewhat looking forward to it.
This Cultivation Method was something that he had accumulated through his countless comprehensions and accumulations in the past.
It was completely compatible with his own body.
Once it took shape, even if the number of acupoints included was not more than that of the Purple Qi Visualization Technique and the Immortal Martial Technique, when he used it, it would definitely be more powerful than those two techniques.
Not to mention, the number of acupoints that he had mastered was not small. Every time an acupoint was ignited, he would have a thorough understanding of the acupoint's characteristics, mysteries, and uses.
Under such circumstances, the technique that he created would naturally be able to fill up many acupoints.
"Furthermore, once I ignite all 1296 acupoints at the same time, it might not be impossible for the technique that I created to include so many acupoints."
Ziyue's eyes flickered slightly, but he was not too anxious.
For this technique to truly take shape, it would probably take a period of accumulation and brewing before it could be completed.
What made him even happier was the strengthening of his Divine Sense.
Under the effect of the seven Spirit Awakening Pills, although the more he took, the weaker the effects of the Spirit Awakening Pills became. However, the strength of his Divine Sense had more than doubled compared to before.
Although it was somewhat superficial, which caused his control of power to be somewhat imbalanced …
Ziyue controlled the Flying Sword with his Divine Sense, and it vibrated slightly before instantly shooting out.
Boom!
It quickly pierced through a huge rock.
But his real target was a wooden stake one meter away from the boulder …
With the corners of his mouth twitching, Ziyue did not dare to be careless. He quickly began to practice Transcending God Visualization, using the visualization method to condense his Divine Sense and restore it to its original perfect control.
…
"Grand Elder, Ziyue is back!"
In a large hall, Zhang Shaohua spoke respectfully to a silver-haired, square-faced old man.
"Hmm? Is it Master Immortal Bai, the second-grade alchemist who refined the Awakening Elixir and worked in the Demon Ridge? "
Zhuang Xinping pondered for a moment before asking.
"That's him."
Zhang Shaohua nodded and said, "Today in the Internal Affairs Pavilion, he took out 3.3 million low-grade spirit stones and exchanged them for a large number of things."
"Over three million?"
Zhuang Xinping was slightly shocked as he asked emotionally.
Even he, the Grand Elder of the Chaoyang Sect, could not take out so many spirit stones in such a short time.
"That's right. They were the sect's only Magic Skill, Silent Divine Light, Acupoint Outline Map, Acupoint Outline Map, Acupoint Outline Map, and many elixir recipes and treasures …
This kind of expenditure is too huge and strange. I thought for a long time and felt that I should report it to you. "
Zhang Shaohua explained. Until now, he could not hide the shock in his heart.
"It seems that our guess is right.
Ziyue is indeed closely related to the Kunlun Taoist, who is rumored to be the strongest person below the God Realm.
Otherwise, he would not be able to take out so many spirit stones as a cultivator who has just broken through to the Aperture Opening Realm. "
Speaking of the Kunlun Taoist, Zhuang Xinping's expression could not help but become more dignified.
Although he had not really seen the means of the Kunlun Taoist, the record of him destroying the Taoist Sect and escaping from the hands of two God Realm masters was real and could not be faked.
Even he was ashamed of his inferiority.
"However, whether it is the Silent Divine Light or the Acupoint Outline Map, Ziyue could not pass it down after he exchanged them.
It is not easy to break the Blood Oath.
Why did the Kunlun Taoist give him so many spirit stones? "
Zhang Shaohua asked with some doubts.
"I don't understand this, either."
Zhuang Xinping frowned.
"Then what should we do next? Are we going to … "
"Don't do anything."
Zhuang Xinping quickly shook his head and said solemnly, "The Kunlun Taoist's strength is extraordinary. Even without the God Elixir, it is very likely that he will break through to the God Realm within a hundred years.
As long as he does not show any hostility to our Chaoyang Sect, we'd better not act rashly and provoke such an existence.
Moreover, Ziyue is our Chaoyang Sect's disciple. As long as we treat him well and use him as a link, we may have a chance to draw the Kunlun Taoist to our Chaoyang Sect in the future. "
"Yes! Disciple understands. "
Zhang Shaohua's heart trembled. He knew that the Great Elder's words were wise and prudent. This was the foundation of a sect's long-term development.
The Daoist Sect was only established for a little more than two hundred years. Although it developed rapidly, it lacked a foundation after all. It did not understand that a sect's inheritance needed to be cautious, step by step, and not provoke any enemies … This was the reason why it could survive for a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, and even develop and become a great Immortal Sect.
The Seven Great Immortal Sects, which one of them did not have a thousand years of accumulation and many steady and brilliant sect leaders controlling them?
The Daoist Sect was far inferior compared to them.
This tribulation was destined to happen.
…
"Fellow Daoist Bai, let me introduce you.
This is Elder Gu Lianyue, Elder Gu, and this is Elder Tang Xianren. "
In an open space, Zhu Shuizhen pointed at the two old men in Taoist robes and said.
"Greetings to the two elders."
Ziyue looked up and saw the two elders. One of them was in the middle stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm, while the other was in the late stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm. They were not weak.
The two of them nodded with a cold expression.
An early stage Aperture Enlightening Realm cultivator was not worthy of their attention.
"And this is Elder Zhong Yun, Elder Zhong.
Elder Zhong is a senior. As early as seventy years ago, he had already broken through to the late stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm.
With Elder Zhong's help this time, the safety of our group will be much more assured. "
Zhu Shuizhen pointed at an old man with a withered face and said solemnly.
"Greetings to Elder Zhong!"
Ziyue greeted and said.
"Immortal Master Zhu, you're too polite. I'm already two hundred and thirty-three years old. I'm a person who will die at any time. My strength has declined greatly. This time, as long as I don't drag you all down, I'll be at ease."
Zhong Yun nodded towards Ziyue indifferently before speaking to Zhu Shuizhen in a humble tone.
"Elder Zhong has fought less and less in recent years, but I've heard about your battle record against the two ghosts of the Green Vine mountain alone.
It's said that when the two ghosts work together, they can even defeat peak Aperture Enlightening Realm cultivators, but you still managed to suppress them all by yourself, forcing them to flee in defeat. "
Tang Xianren said flatteringly from the side.
Zhong Yun was slightly complacent. He could not help but smile on his skinny face. He said, "The two ghosts of the Green Vine mountain really are powerful. When I fought them back then, it took me quite a lot of effort. In the end, I only managed to gain the upper hand because of the suppressive effects of the techniques of Origin Energy.
It's a pity that they still managed to escape. It's not perfect after all. "
"It's already extremely powerful. For example, I've cultivated arduously for a hundred and fifty years, but I still haven't won a battle where I've made a name for myself."
Gu Lianyue said as well.
They complimented each other slightly and made small talk. Zhu Shuizhen would say a few words from time to time as well. Before she knew it, she had excluded Ziyue from the conversation.
Ziyue did not mind at all. He rubbed Zhao Yue 'er's head and looked at her indifferently with a calm face.
Now, he had already lost the reverence he had for Aperture Enlightening Realm cultivators.
Perhaps only God Realm cultivators could truly make him pay attention to them.
"Alright, let's set off. It'll take five days to travel from the sect to the Ancient Desolation City. We can't waste any more time."
In the end, it was Zhu Shuizhen who spoke and stopped them from continuing their conversation. She waved her hand slightly.
Instantly, a lotus-like formation plate expanded in the wind and hovered in the void.
"This is a mid grade flying spiritual artifact, the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Formation. Although its speed is not as fast as the flying sword of late Aperture Enlightening Realm cultivators, it's better in terms of durability. As long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can continue to fly.
Moreover, there are nine lotus bases on it. You can meditate and rest. Once you encounter an enemy, you can face them in your best condition.
It's perfect for our journey. "
As she said that, Zhu Shuizhen grabbed Zhao Yue 'er and quickly jumped onto the lotus.
"Thank you!"
Zhong Yun nodded and also jumped onto the lotus. He quickly chose a lotus base and sat down.
Then, Gu Lianyue and Tang Xianren followed.
Ziyue activated his Celestial Martial Elemental Force and jumped lightly onto the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Formation.
However, because he had taken Spirit Awakening Pills continuously last night, his Divine Sense had suddenly doubled. Under the interference, his body immediately became a little unstable. After swaying slightly, he stood still.
"Nowadays, young cultivators blindly pursue the realm and rely on taking Spirit Pills to improve their cultivation. They don't pay attention to the control of their own strength.
They have lost the foundation of Celestial Way cultivation. How much combat strength can they have?
It's really disappointing! "
Zhong Yun's somewhat cloudy eyes glanced around and said with a cold snort.
"Unfortunately, it's precisely this kind of cultivator who has far more cultivation resources than us.
Thinking back, when we were the same age, which one of us didn't struggle at the bottom and work hard to complete tasks to accumulate Karma points in order to exchange for Bottleneck-breaking Pills and Orifice-Enlightening Pills to break through?
Usually, only when you're 50 and above can you accumulate enough Karma points and then wait in line for 10 years. Only when you're 70 or 80 years old can you really exchange for Orifice-Enlightening Pills and break through the realm. "
Gu Lianyue said with a little resentment.
Chapter 373
"This kind of thing can't be envied.
Combat power? What kind of combat power do they want? Aren't we, the ordinary cultivators, the ones who really fight?
They just need to stay at the rear and cultivate step by step. That's enough. "
Tang Xianren's face was also full of sarcasm.
"You can only break through to the Aperture Enlightening Realm when you're in your seventies or eighties. What right do you have to laugh at my Brother Bai?
You're just a few years older and have a higher realm.
In terms of combat power, at the same age and realm, you may not even be half of my Brother Bai's. "
Before Ziyue could speak, Zhao Yue 'er was angry. Her little face was red with anger as she snorted.
"Yue 'er, shut up!"
Zhu Shuizhen quickly reprimanded her, and then said to Zhong Yun and the others apologetically, "The child is not sensible. I apologize to you here on her behalf."
"We don't have to be angry with a little girl."
Zhong Yun's face was a little ugly, but he couldn't lose his temper. He could only look at Ziyue and said, "But Immortal Master Bai, as seniors, although what we said is unpleasant, it's for your own good.
I hope you'd better take care of yourself. "
"Good advice is unpleasant to the ear. Immortal Master Bai, please think twice."
Gu Lianyue said immediately.
"When you really meet the enemy, you will know whether our words are right or not."
Tang Xianren also snorted lightly.
"Thank you for your reminder, seniors."
Ziyue nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao Yue 'er. Seeing a trace of grievance on her face, he smiled slightly, turned his hand, and a jade box appeared in his hand. He said, "Yue' er, come here and eat some spiritual fruits.
This is the Panlong Fruit I picked by chance some time ago. It tastes good and can increase your strength. "
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
Zhao Yue 'er's little face immediately showed some excitement. She ran to Ziyue's side with a cheerful face and took the jade box.
"Humph!"
"You're too stubborn!"
Suddenly, the three elders, who were originally a little relieved, immediately became gloomy.
What do you mean by rewarding Zhao Yue 'er who refuted you in front of us?
Are you pretending that you didn't hear what we said before?
Are you perfunctory when you say thanks?
They were really a little angry.
"It's getting late. Let's go!"
Seeing this, Zhu Shuizhen was afraid that another dispute would arise, so she quickly shouted and stretched out her hand. The Drunken Moon Red Lotus Plate immediately turned into a red light and shot off into the distance.
Ziyue naturally didn't want to intensify the conflict.
No matter what, they were here to escort Zhao Yue'er to the Ancient Desolate City. Although they were taking advantage of their seniority to criticize him in the name of doing it for his own good, they were not bad people after all.
Therefore, he didn't say anything else. He chose a lotus seat and sat down cross-legged.
Even if Zhong Yun and the others didn't say anything, he himself couldn't bear the fact that his Divine Sense was unstable and he couldn't control his strength well enough.
So in next to no time, he withdrew his Divine Sense and visualized his own appearance in his mind. First was the outline, then the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, limbs, skin, and even the flesh, meridians, apertures, tendons, and bones …
Bit by bit, it turned from illusion to reality.
What he cultivated was none other than the Art of Spiritual Enhancement, the Transcendent God Visualization Technique!
He used himself as a magic board to visualize and refine it bit by bit to control his Divine Sense.
Due to the lack of control over his Divine Sense, the appearance he visualized was always abstract. It was difficult for his skin, flesh, and blood to form, and it would collapse and collapse.
However, Ziyue was not discouraged. As if he didn't know exhaustion, he visualized again and again.
Gradually, the appearance he visualized began to change a little. It became more vivid. His eyes, ears, mouth, nose, skin, flesh, and blood all had some charm that belonged to him.
Correspondingly, his Divine Sense, which was originally a little unstable, gradually began to condense, and his control was strengthened.
Even the cultivation progress of the Transcendent God Visualization Technique had increased dramatically.
Uninitiated 10%, uninitiated 20%, uninitiated 30% …
Soon, he had cultivated it to 45%.
…
"The seven major sects have been strong for too long. Almost every generation has a Divine Realm powerhouse.
If you want to make them decline, you have to kill their genius disciples and make them lose one of the 12 places to get the Deity Pill. "
"This time, there are a total of three genius disciples in the Chaoyang Sect who will compete for one of the 12 places.
Duan Xingchen, the true disciple of the Chaoyang Sect's Sect Master, Qin Feiyu, the grandnephew of the Supreme Elder Qin Haohan, and Zhao Yue 'er, the disciple of Zhu Shuizhen. "
"Although Duan Xingchen and Qin Feiyu's talent is one in ten thousand, they will not be treated differently by the Celestialspirit Sect. They will need to fight to get a place.
Moreover, there will inevitably be others who will attack and assassinate them.
However, Zhao Yue`er's talent was extraordinary. She was considered a rare existence in the entire cultivation world. Once she arrived at the Ancient Desolate City, there was no need for her to compete at all. She would definitely occupy one of the spots and obtain the Divine Pill.
Originally, the Chaoyang Sect will definitely send tyrannical guards to protect such a genius along the way. We basically have no chance to kill her. "
"However, even a major sect like the Chaoyang Sect is not an iron plate."
Zhu Shuizhen was greedy and wanted to monopolize the Deity Pill that would be given to Zhao Yue 'er. She was unwilling to give it to the few powerhouses at the peak of the Enlightening Realm.
Therefore, the First Elder, Second Elder, and other Immortal Masters at the peak of the Enlightening Realm had no intention of helping to escort Zhao Yue 'er to the Ancient Desolate City.
And this is our chance! "
In a desolate mountain, a few cultivators with powerful auras were scattered across the place.
"According to the information we received, there are only four Immortal Masters at the Enlightening Realm escorting Zhao Yue 'er this time.
They are Zhu Shuizhen, Zhong Yun, and Tang Xianren, who are at the Late-stage of the Enlightening Realm.
As for the other one, Gu Lianyue, he is at the Middle-stage of the Enlightening Realm and is relatively weaker. "
A cultivator in a red robe licked his lips and said.
"Zhong Yun? I didn't expect that old guy to still be alive. "
At this moment, an ugly cultivator's eyes flashed with an inexplicable cold light.
"I haven't seen him for decades. I kind of miss him."
Another cultivator who looked very similar to him said with a smile.
"Enemies meet!"
"I'm always so jealous!"
The two of them smiled at the same time. Their ugly appearances and sinister smiles were enough to make people shiver from the bottom of their hearts.
The two of them were the Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain.
Right at this moment, there was a flash of light in the clothes of the leader.
Seeing everyone look over, a sliver of viciousness flashed through his face. He said, "They're here."
"Get ready!"
… …
"This should be the region of the Nine Ringed Mountains. Not far away is the Twin Commandery city, and over there is the Snow Mountain territory.
Yue 'er, although you'll definitely reach an even vaster world in the future, it's not impossible for you to become a Golden Core cultivator and a Soul Transformation cultivator.
However, I still hope that you won't forget about master and this corner of the world that we've been isolated from.
In the future, if it's possible and you have the strength, I hope that you won't be the only one.
I think not only me, even your brother and all the people you care about here would certainly hope that you can open up the passageway between this place and the outside world, so that we won't have to wait bitterly for the Heavenly Spirit Sect's charity once every thirty years. "
Zhu Shuizhen said seriously as she looked around with Zhao Yue 'er.
The world was too big, and this corner was too small.
It was so small that it could only be blamed for the birth of a God cultivator, but it was impossible for them to reach a higher level.
Not only was there a problem with the lack of cultivation methods, but the resources here were not enough for cultivators to reach a higher level.
"Master, I will!"
Although Zhao Yue 'er was a little confused, she still said seriously.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Right at this moment, the world rumbled, and the sound of swords cutting through the sky rang out.
"Be careful! Enemy attack! "
Zhu Shuizhen yelled, but she immediately activated the defensive light of the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc to the extreme.
Zhong Yun, Gu Lianyue, Tang Xianren and the others hurriedly jumped up from the lotus disc. With a flash of light, they quickly attacked.
"Sword of Shattering Spiritual Light!"
A huge sword light, like a silver moon, fiercely slashed down.
Boom!
The defensive spiritual light of the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc was shattered almost immediately.
Immediately after, several sword lights clanged down and fiercely struck the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Plate. Immediately, the spiritual light of this spiritual artifact quickly dimmed, as if it was about to be broken.
"Immortal Bai, protect Yue 'er!"
Zhu Shuizhen's face was gloomy. With a wave of her hand, she threw out a bell.
Buzz!
The bell rose in the wind and expanded rapidly.
Ring!
A sound that could confuse the Divine Soul came out quickly.
"Brother Bai!"
Zhao Yue 'er looked at Ziyue with a timid face.
Ziyue naturally woke up before the attack. Hearing this, he had to quickly protect Zhao Yue 'er by his side. Almost immediately, he used the Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Technique.
Then, he used the Spiritual Gang Defense of the Golden Spiritual Light Bead.
It had to be said that the Golden Spiritual Gang Bead, an upper-grade Spiritual Weapon, was very useful in his hands. It was not only convenient, but also very strong.
The Black Tortoise Shield, which was also a high-grade Spiritual Artifact, had already been destroyed by the White Flames of the Heavens. However, the Golden Spiritual Gang Bead was still intact, shining freely.
He used the Golden Spiritual Gang Bead and the Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Technique at the same time, protecting Zhao Yue 'er. Only then did Ziyue look at the battlefield.
"The Soulman Kingdom cultivators, the Guardian Soul, the Goat Daoist, the Old Woman of the Yin Mountains, and … the Twin Ghosts of Teng Qingshan … Five Aperture Awakening Immortal Masters, and all of them are at late Aperture Awakening …"
Zhu Shuizhen's heart sank, and her face immediately became extremely ugly.
She didn't expect that they would encounter such a large scale ambush after just one day of travel.
"Isn't that the old priest Zhong Yun? Now that I think about it, it's been forty years since we last met. "
"I've missed him a lot."
The Twin Ghosts of the Green Vine mountain both looked at Zhong Yun. Their gazes were extremely strange.
Chapter 374
"The Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain?
I didn't think you'd still be alive. "
Zhong Yun's face changed as he said sternly.
"Even you aren't dead, so how can we be dead?"
The Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain sniggered. Both of them wielded a high grade spiritual artifact sickle. They gave off a ghostly aura, which combined with their terrifying faces, made them extremely vicious.
"Not being able to kill you back then and let you escape out of sheer luck has always been a great regret of mine.
Yet now, you're bold enough to appear before me. You really don't know what's good for you! "
Zhong Yun's face turned cold. The originally withered flesh on his body immediately showed a trace of luster, and his flesh seemed to have become much fuller.
Afterwards, a pair of scissors with a strange shape shot out.
To no surprise, the weapon he was most comfortable with was the rare Yin Yang Scissors.
The Yin Yang Scissors swelled with the wind, turning into a huge pair of scissors. It rapidly opened up like a natural beheading gate, rushing towards the two of them before snapping shut.
The two scissors in their hands shot out rapidly, turning into two dark streaks of light that collided viciously.
Clang! Clang!
The Yin Yang Scissors immediately paused and was knocked away.
However, Zhong Yun's follow-up attack had already landed at this moment.
It was the technique that made him famous, the Earth's Limit Essence Slashing Technique!
A ball of light shone through the air, quickly landing on the two scissors.
Thrum! Thrum! Thrum!
Under the invasion of the strange essence slashing power, the two high grade spiritual artifacts immediately trembled slightly. They began to move around uncontrollably like headless flies.
The Yin Yang Scissors immediately took advantage of the situation and shot out, cutting towards the Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain.
"Hehe, do you think we haven't improved at all after all these years?"
The Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain suddenly laughed. They extended their hands at the same time, and the two scissors shone with red light.
In an instant, the scythe that had been on the verge of collapse suddenly shook and became stable again. It turned into two strange red lights, one above and one below, and slashed fiercely at the Yin Yang Double-Headed Scissors.
On the other side, Gu Lianyue and Tang Xianren struck out as well.
Their opponents were the Goat Daoist and the old woman of the Yin Mountains.
They were both late Aperture Awakening cultivators. Although Tang Xianren's attacks were not particularly intricate, they were still able to block the old woman's attacks after some difficulty. They were not forced to flee in defeat.
However, Gu Lianyue was completely different.
His cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Awakening Realm, and he only had the Golden Star Flowing Light Sword, a mid-grade Spirit Artifact. He was clearly stronger than his opponent, who had reached the late stage of the Awakening Realm. What's more, he used two mid-grade Spirit Artifacts, the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords, which could be compared to a high-grade Spirit Artifact when combined. He almost immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Defeat was only a matter of time.
Ring ring ring!
Zhu Shuizhen's bell rang like a clear spring flowing through a bamboo forest. It was clear and pleasant to the ear but there was endless killing intent hidden in this pleasant sound. The sound waves swept out like sound blades that rapidly swept towards the Soul Diagram Guardian Warrior of the Nanman Kingdom.
Soul Diagram Vajra waved his hand, and a piece of gray cloth quickly rolled up. Sound blades were attached to the cloth, and they were like rain falling into a quagmire, soundless.
At the same time, his cold gaze landed on Ziyue in the distance. He narrowed his eyes and said, "There's one more? As expected, the words of that group of trash couldn't be trusted completely.
But it doesn't matter. He's only in the early stage of the Awakening Realm. He'll just die either way! "
Then, he reached out and patted his waist. A spirit light quickly flashed from the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.
Then, a giant wolf that was over ten meters tall and completely silver in color charged out.
"Go, kill him!"
Soul Diagram Vajra pointed casually.
"Roar!"
The giant wolf immediately roared. Like a silver light, it rushed to the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc that Ziyue was on in a flash and slapped it fiercely.
Boom!
The Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc, which was already dimming and barely holding on, quickly shattered and was completely destroyed.
A bloodthirsty and ferocious look flashed in the silver wolf's green eyes. Its body flashed again and it appeared above Ziyue.
"The Spirit Detecting Realm mid-stage Demon, the Blue-Eyed Silver Wolf King … Be careful!"
Zhu Shuizhen's expression changed drastically and she immediately became anxious. Her Divine Sense moved, and the flying sword trembled slightly before it turned into a watery light and shot out.
"Your opponent is me."
Soul Diagram Vajra snorted coldly and his figure flashed. He was even faster than the silver wolf. A long saber slashed fiercely. Yuanli, space, and heaven and earth seemed to be in harmony at this moment.
Sizzle!
The void shook as if it was torn apart by this saber.
Clang!
The saber light swept up by the long saber slashed fiercely on Zhu Shuizhen's flying sword and quickly knocked it away.
"Oh no …"
Zhu Shuizhen's heart sank. She had no intention of entangling with it at all. Ignoring the threat close at hand, she quickly rushed in the direction of the silver wolf king.
She would not allow Zhao Yue 'er to be hurt at all.
Not only because Zhao Yue 'er was her disciple, but also because once she stepped into the Ancient Desolate City safely, the Celestialspirit Sect would inevitably give her the Deity Pill.
Only with the Deity Pill could she break through and enter the Deity Realm.
She could not give up!
"It's over!"
The moment Tang Xianren saw the Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King, he panicked.
He knew very well that when everyone was entangled, Ziyue, who was at the early stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm, and the spiritual power he had shown before, was no match for this Silver Wolf King at the middle stage of the Spirit Detecting Realm.
Perhaps he could hold on for one or two breaths, but what was the point?
Zhao Yue 'er, who was under his protection, would inevitably die …
"Are we going to encounter an accident as soon as we set off?"
Tang Xianren took advantage of the chaos to throw out a Purple Light Bead for help, but he was already prepared to flee in all directions.
"Brother Bai!"
Zhao Yue 'er suddenly closed her eyes and quietly grabbed the corner of Ziyue's sleeve.
"Remember, no matter what happens, we cultivators should never close our eyes.
Because of fear, despair, and giving up resistance, your life and death will be completely in the hands of others.
Only by opening your eyes and bravely using your spiritual power can you find a flaw in the opponent's attack, escape, and even counterattack! "
Ziyue's divine sense swept over Zhao Yue 'er, and the fear in her heart immediately faded. Finally, she bravely opened her eyes.
At the same time, a copper ring expanded in the wind and turned into a copper golden hoop, falling directly on the Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King's head.
On the copper golden hoop, a spiritual light flashed, and a mass of green light quickly fell.
"Awoo!"
The Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King let out a terrified howl. Its body paused, and it quickly turned around, wanting to escape.
However, when the green light fell, it seemed to have nowhere to hide. It was directly fixed in the void and firmly locked.
Immediately afterward, a golden pagoda soared into the sky, and a mass of golden light quickly rushed out and fell on the Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King's body.
Buzz!
The Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King did not struggle at all and was immediately taken away by the golden light. It turned into a stream of light and was sucked into the pagoda.
"How is that possible?"
The Soulmap King Kong was stunned. He looked at Ziyue, the copper ring, and the golden pagoda in disbelief.
The Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King was a beast he had raised since childhood. Its strength had already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Detecting Realm, and its mind was connected to his. As long as it was within a certain range, it would be controlled by him.
As a result, not only did the opponent easily subdue his beast, but he also easily cut off the connection between him and the beast. He used the Psychic Technique to communicate, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. He did not get any response at all.
"Great!"
Zhu Shuizhen was overjoyed. She did not expect Ziyue to bring her such a big surprise.
He actually killed a big monster equivalent to the middle stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm so easily.
"Could it be that we were wrong?"
While Tang Xianren was overjoyed, he could not help but murmur.
This time, Bai Ziyue had indeed made him look at him in a different light.
"Quick! Save me! "
Right at this moment, Gu Lianyue let out a shout and revealed an extremely panicked expression.
Among all of them, except for Ziyue, he was the weakest.
He was not a match for the Goat Taoist.
Being able to hold on for a few breaths was already due to his exquisite spells and rich combat experience.
But the absolute gap in strength could not be made up.
After many collisions, not only did the spirituality of his Golden Star Flowing Light Sword decrease greatly, even the defensive golden armor on his body became full of holes and cracks because of the opponent's attacks. It had lost its function.
At this moment, the Goat Taoist once again shot out the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords. The combination of the Double Groove Swords was comparable to an upper-grade spiritual weapon. Coupled with the opponent's pure Yuanli of the late stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm …
He retreated quickly, but he could not outrun the speed of the Flying Sword.
"Die!"
The Goat Taoist's eyes were cold, and the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords turned into a stream of light.
Zhu Shuizhen and the rest were shocked. They quickly increased their attacks, wanting to help.
But Soulmap King Kong and the rest also knew that if someone on their side could free up their hands, they would definitely win.
So they also attacked crazily, trying their best to entangle Zhu Shuizhen and the rest.
"No!"
Gu Lianyue was desperate.
As his pupils shrank, he saw the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords approaching rapidly. They enlarged in his eyes, enlarged, and enlarged again.
Then, they quickly broke the defensive golden armor on his body and shattered his defensive Yuanli.
Then …
In the clanging sounds, the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords trembled violently, but stopped in front of him, only half an inch away from his forehead.
"What's going on? Is he going to let me go? "
"No, no …"
Doubts flashed in his mind, and he quickly saw the ferocious and shocked expression on the Goat Taoist's face.
Shocked, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately retreated.
Sizzle …
At this moment, the Goat Horn Double Groove Swords seemed to have broken through some kind of obstacle and shot out again.
But it missed.
"What?"
Soulmap King Kong was shocked and looked at the calm figure in disbelief.
The sure-kill situation was broken again.
Although Gu Lianyue did not notice the person who attacked, the others saw it clearly.
It was Ziyue, who seemed to be only at the early stage of the Aperture Enlightening Realm.
Chapter 375
Ziyue?
How was this possible?
Not only were the Guardian of Soul and the others in disbelief, but even Zhu Shuizhen and the others were utterly shocked.
They could clearly sense the pulses of energy from their opponent. He was clearly only at the peak of the early Aperture Awakening realm.
If it was said that the reason he subdued the Blue-eyed Silver Wolf King was because he had the bronze bracelet and the golden pagoda, then this time, he had used a spell to stop the Goat Taoist's sure-kill attack. This was not something that could be justified by external forces such as a spiritual weapon.
Strength!
This was true strength!
Since he had already decided to take action, Ziyue did not hesitate at all. As he unleashed the Divine Light of Treasure Stabilizing, a flying sword had already shot out like a river.
The Sword of Evasion! A Single Strike to Destroy All Laws!
Rumble!
There was a flash of silver light, and the flying sword had already arrived before the Goat Daoist in almost the next moment.
"No …"
The Mountain Goat Taoist roared in shock and frantically retreated. Layer after layer of defensive spiritual light was activated, layer after layer, causing ripples to appear in the void.
However, as the flying sword swept past, the power of evasion and the power of penetration gathered together.
Spurt!
No matter how powerful the defensive light was, it all collapsed loudly.
The Sword of Evasion did not slow down at all, directly landing on the Goat Daoist's forehead and piercing through.
Gu Lianyue was at a loss. He never thought it would actually be Ziyue who saved him.
However, when he saw the Goat Daoist die, he immediately returned to his senses. He rushed over to the battlefield on the side in a hurry to assist elder Zhong Yun.
Even though Zhong Yun was not weak, and he was experienced in battle, it was still rather difficult for him to take on two late Aperture Awakening cultivators, the two ghosts of the Green Vine mountain, alone now that his strength had declined. He was not exactly in a perilous situation, but he had lost the upper hand. He was in an extremely passive position.
"Next!"
After killing the Goat Daoist in a single strike, Ziyue did not even look at him. He waved his hand, and a ball of black flames shot out like a nimble bird, shooting through the air and arriving before the old woman.
"Oh no!"
The old woman's eyelids twitched as her scalp tingled. She hurriedly sent out a cloth sail.
Ten Thousand Soul Banner!
When the Ten Thousand Soul Banner unfurled, countless ghosts and souls let out miserable howls as they charged forward, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Sizzle …
The Seven Demons True Fire seemed to be able to incinerate everything. Any ghostly figure that came into contact with the flames dissipated like smoke, unable to withstand the heat at all.
The flames fell like a meteor. With a loud explosion, they quickly landed on Old Ou of Mountain Yin.
Immediately, the defensive spiritual light, defensive spiritual tool, and protective robe on her body began to flicker. They were rapidly being worn down and melted away.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths …
"Ah …"
In just a short five breaths of time, she couldn't hold on any longer and was enveloped by the flames. Then … with a pop, her body was engulfed and annihilated.
"Two!"
Ziyue muttered as his gaze fell on the remaining battlefield.
Dead?
All dead?
The Old Taoist Goat is dead?
The old woman of the Yin Mountain had also fallen?
Wantu Vajra was dumbfounded.
Then, the moment he sensed Ziyue's gaze falling on him, he felt as if a great calamity was about to befall him, as if the God of Death was looking at him, causing his scalp to go numb.
Almost without any hesitation, he turned and fled.
"I'll die! I'll die! "
He roared in his heart, incomparably terrified.
Where did this monster come from? How could his strength be so terrifying?
At this moment, although Ziyue's aura was not obvious, the means he displayed were too strong.
He had easily killed two experts of the same realm as him as if he were cutting melons and vegetables.
Even if he was confident that his strength was stronger than the other two, it was not as easy as Ziyue's performance to defeat them.
Moreover, he was all too familiar with the calmness on his face and the indifference in his eyes that seemed to despise everything.
It was an expression he would only show when facing enemies who were far weaker than him.
"Run! Run! Run! "
Wantu Vajra retreated in shock. His legs were like illusions as they flashed in the void. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of several hundred feet.
"Hmm? Why is the sky dark? "
Suddenly, he noticed that the world had suddenly become dark. The doubt in his mind flashed through his mind. He suddenly raised his head and saw an incomparably huge palm that seemed to be able to cover the entire void spreading above his head.
The scorching sun was completely covered by the palm.
The void and the clouds seemed to be trembling violently in front of the palm.
It blotted out the sky and the sun!
Boom!
The majestic and huge palm was like an upside-down galaxy. With a loud bang, it suddenly fell down.
"No!"
Wantu Vajra roared!
It was as if the entire world was against him and wanted to suppress him. It made him tremble all over, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't block it!
He couldn't escape!
He could only resist it head-on.
He hurriedly activated his defensive skills, the Real Body of Barbarian Cultivators, the Black Water Mystic Ice Shield Technique, and the middle-grade defensive spiritual weapon, the Rattan Armor …
Rumble!
The huge palm fell down as if it was swatting a mosquito.
Bang!
The Rattan Armor shattered, and the Black Water Mystic Ice Shield Technique was reduced to shards of ice in that moment. Afterwards, the Real Body of Barbarian Cultivators was destroyed. The terrifying force fell down. Even though his body was extremely tough, comparable to a Spirit Detecting realm great daemon, it was still useless.
As if he had suffered a heavy blow, his body exploded, turning into a bloody mist that rapidly dispersed.
He was dead!
"So powerful …"
Zhu Shuizhen's eyes widened as shock filled her face.
She thought about when she faced the Soul Diagram Vajra. Although she was not completely powerless, she had always been at a disadvantage.
In the end, the Soul Diagram Vajra that was a powerful opponent in her eyes, one that was basically on par with peak Aperture Awakening realm cultivators, could not even withstand a single blow, having been slapped to death so easily.
Was Ziyue really at early Aperture Awakening realm?
Late Aperture Awakening realm? Or peak Aperture Awakening realm?
As for any higher, she dared not think about it. However, she already felt some reverence.
Afterwards, Ziyue did not take action again.
After Zhu Shuizhen returned to her senses, she immediately joined in the encirclement of the Ghost Duo of the Green Vine mountain. In just a few seconds, the two of them had been slain.
"Thank you B- immortal master Bai for your assistance."
Gu Lianyue hesitated slightly before saying with some bitterness.
When he thought about what he and the others had said before, he felt rather ashamed.
"Thank you, immortal master Bai!"
Tang Xianren also took a step forward as he spoke with a hint of respect.
"Immortal master Bai sure is … well hidden.
Now that I think about it, what we said before was a little like showing off before an expert. We were too arrogant. "
Zhong Yun couldn't help but reveal a hint of guilt on his face as he spoke in admiration.
"You're too polite, elders."
Ziyue said calmly, "I obviously wouldn't leave you be if it was within my means."
"B- fellow Bai, there's something I want to ask you.
Are you really at early Aperture Awakening realm? "
Zhu Shuizhen had also collected her spoils now. She walked over and asked nervously.
She still remembered that she had personally guided Ziyue and Zhao Yue 'er into the Rising Sun sect a few months ago. Ziyue was only a Qi Practitioner back then. Although he had already reached the peak of the ninth layer, he definitely had not reached Aperture Awakening.
He had only truly broken through to Aperture Awakening a month or so after Zhao Yue 'er had joined the Rising Sun sect. He had refined an Aperture Awakening pill with his own alchemy skills.
How long had it been since then?
His strength had already skyrocketed to such a level?
Thinking about how he had once been attacked by an immortal master of the Dao Attainment sect, and now that the Dao Attainment sect had been destroyed … She could not help but think.
Could it be that Bai Ziyue was the legendary Kunlun Daoist who had concealed himself deeply?
"That's not it!"
Ziyue glanced at Zhu Shuizhen and shook his head. He said, "It's due to luck. My cultivation has actually already surpassed early Aperture Awakening realm."
As he said that, his body flashed. A new aura that was far more powerful than before radiated from his body.
"The peak of mid Aperture Awakening realm?"
Everyone else's eyes shone brightly.
"However, your battle prowess …"
Zhu Shuizhen could not help but ask.
"The Beast Trapping Hoop, the Demon Subduing Pagoda, and the Law Evasion Divine Sword are all supreme grade spiritual weapons."
Ziyue stretched out his hand. The copper hoop, the golden pagoda, and the Law Evasion Divine Sword appeared in his palm. Then, he waved his hand and kept them.
"As for that palm print, I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it. It was a sect within the Wu Country called the Immortal Martial Sect."
Ziyue asked softly.
"The Immortal Martial Sect that was destroyed three hundred years ago?"
Zhong Yun's body trembled. He hurriedly said, "I've heard of this sect. At its peak, it was only below the seven great Immortal Martial Sects and was comparable to the Kunwu Sword Sect. It was one of the strongest sects outside of the seven great Immortal Martial Sects.
It was a pity that the sect leader of the Immortal Martial Sect was greedy for power and fought with the current Wu Country's royal family for the throne. In the end, he was defeated and the Immortal Martial Sect was destroyed.
If that's the case, what Immortal Master Bai used should be the ultimate technique of the Immortal Martial Sect, the Immortal Martial Grand Palm Print.
This immortal art is extremely powerful. When used together with the other two ultimate techniques of the Immortal Martial Sect, it's said that it can unleash a power comparable to an innate technique.
Back then, the Immortal Martial Sect relied on this method to almost become one of the eight great Immortal Martial Sects … "
"Comparable to an innate technique?"
Tang Xianren's eyes widened.
His face instantly revealed an expression of envy.
He was somewhat enlightened.
Ziyue had three supreme grade spiritual weapons on him. In addition to the Immortal Martial Grand Palm Print, his power was unparalleled and comparable to an innate technique. Naturally, he was able to unleash such overwhelming power.
The others also revealed looks of contemplation.
Envy, jealousy, and even a trace of desire.
However, they all accepted such an explanation. Even Zhu Shuizhen was the same.
It wasn't impossible for one's cultivation base to explode due to a fortuitous encounter.
The supreme grade spiritual weapons on Ziyue most likely also originated from a fortuitous encounter.
As for innate techniques.
Although the Chaoyang Sect also had an innate technique, based on their accumulation, it was far from enough to exchange for it. They were even more unwilling to exchange for it.
In addition, they rarely saw others using innate techniques. Naturally, it was difficult to determine the strength of the innate technique.
Ziyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, he managed to fool them.
Chapter 376
To Ziyue, whether his strength was exposed or not was no longer as important as it was at the beginning.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry. He had too many secrets, and once he was noticed by someone, it would definitely be troublesome.
Therefore, it was better not to expose himself if he could.
Fortunately, his words did not arouse the suspicion of Zhu Shuizhen and the others due to his deliberate guidance.
Although there were still some doubts, it was not good to probe too deeply.
"I knew that Brother Bai is the best."
With Zhao Yue 'er's eyesight, it was impossible for her to see the battle situation of Ziyue and the others. However, from the conversation of the few people, it was not difficult for her to guess that the elders and master respected Ziyue. She immediately felt a little proud.
Ziyue smiled and patted her head.
"How old is Immortal Bai? If you are not over 50 years old, you can also compete for one of the 12 places. "
Gu Lianyue seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed.
"That's right. With Immortal Bai's strength, if you are qualified, one of the 12 places will definitely be a piece of cake. You may even be one of the strongest …"
The others were slightly startled, and they all reacted.
One of the 12 places, the Deity Pill …
They were all shocked.
"I'm not even 50 years old."
Ziyue replied, and then said, "This time, I do have the intention to participate."
Suddenly, the elders' gazes became even more respectful. Even Zhu Shuizhen's thoughts were extremely complicated.
If Ziyue participated, together with Duan Xingchen, Qin Feiyu, and Zhao Yue 'er who had already confirmed that they would participate, then the Chaoyang Sect would have four disciples who would participate in the competition for the 12 places.
If they could all be selected …
"Hiss …"
They sucked in a breath of cold air.
That was equivalent to four Deity Pills falling into the hands of the Chaoyang Sect.
Thinking of this, a wave of fanaticism emerged in their hearts.
They were looking forward to it.
…
Soon, the group was on the road again.
Although the Drunken Moon Red Lotus Disc was broken, they still had the flying shuttle.
In the case of two separate flying shuttles, the speed was not slow.
The three elders, Gu Lianyue, Tang Xianren, and Zhong Yun, were in one shuttle, while Ziyue, Zhu Shuizhen, and Zhao Yue 'er were in the other one.
Ziyue's gaze fell on the spoils of war given to him.
"Ten Thousand Soul Banner, Underworld Ghost Scythe … these spirit weapons belong to the Yin attribute. Although I can't use them, they can still increase my soul energy by a large amount. It's not bad.
Then, there were some jade slips.
Sure enough, rogue cultivators like them basically carried all their belongings with them. There were quite a few jade slips and four or five cultivation methods.
On the other hand, the Soul Diagram Guardian Warrior, who was the strongest among them, was from the Barbarian Immortal Sect of the Nanman Kingdom. He knew that he had stepped into another kingdom to assassinate the genius disciples of many great sects. It was hard to say whether he would live or die. Therefore, other than the spirit weapon he had, he did not have many good things on him, let alone any cultivation technique inheritance.
... "............
Ziyue pondered for a moment. He did not directly deal with these spoils of war. Instead, he put them away.
"This time, my soul energy has increased by more than one million. Including the previous surplus, it has reached 1.8 million.
Let's wait. It's not easy to improve with outsiders around. "
Ziyue moved his gaze from the Attribute Panel to Zhu Shuizhen. He asked casually, "Immortal Master Zhu, do we need to pass through Tianyuan Market?"
"Tianyuan Market?
According to the plan, we will pass through Jingkong Mountain, which is 80 miles away from Tianyuan Market.
However, since Immortal Master Bai mentioned it, we can take a detour and pass through Tianyuan Market.
However, for safety and to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will not enter Tianyuan Market to avoid attracting the attention of some people with evil intentions. "
Zhu Shuizhen said after hearing this.
"Thank you for your understanding, Immortal Master Zhu."
Bai Ziyue cupped his fists and quickly expressed his gratitude.
In Tianyuan Market, there were many treasures that he had given to the Huang father and daughter. In total, they were worth about three million low-grade Spiritual Stones.
He knew that if he participated in the competition for the 12 slots, he would definitely be able to get one of the slots.
He might not have time to collect the huge amount of Spiritual Stones after this. Naturally, he had to make a trip.
Calculating that there was still half a day left, Ziyue focused his mind and immersed himself in cultivation again.
After his silent cultivation, he had already improved the Transcendental Visualization Skill to 45% of the Uninitiated Level.
Although he had not fully absorbed and mastered his Divine Sense to the point where he could control it freely, it had increased his control over his Divine Sense to more than 80%.
He also wanted to continue working hard and completely master it.
As such, Ziyue immersed himself in his thoughts again and began to visualize his outline, appearance, and flesh.
One hour, two hours, three hours …
Just like that, a few hours passed.
Buzz!
Ziyue's body suddenly shook.
"Finally, I've completely controlled my Divine Sense again and reached the point where I can use it freely."
Ziyue silently felt the precision, perfection, and smoothness of the circulation of his Divine Sense. He was shocked and delighted.
As for the improvement of the Transcendental Visualization Skill, it was within his expectations.
If it was said that his original body was still a little blurry when he first visualized it, then at this moment, his flesh and blood appearance was no different from his original body.
It could be said that he already had the 'form'. Now, he only lacked the 'spirit'.
Once he had both the 'form' and the 'spirit', it would naturally be equivalent to him cultivating this technique.
"There's no rush, there's no rush.
Based on the current 60% progress of the Transcendental Visualization Skill, I should be able to cultivate this Spirit Refinement Technique to the Beginner Level in at most two days.
At least until we reach the Ancient Desolate City, it will be enough. "
With Zhu Shuizhen and the others by his side, he naturally could not cultivate Shrinking Earth into an Inch, Annihilation Divine Light, and other divine abilities.
He could foresee that he could only cultivate this Transcendental Visualization Skill for the next few days.
He was naturally confident that he could quickly cultivate it to the Beginner Level.
…
Tianyuan City Square, Golden Bamboo Sword Mill.
A middle-aged man in a red brocade robe and a woman in a pink dress stood at the door, looking forward to it.
Behind them, there were more than ten people standing on both sides, looking extremely solemn.
In the flow of people, countless people immediately noticed this situation and were immediately shocked.
"This is the Huang family's head, Huang Qiulong, and the Huang family's first daughter, Huang Qingya.
A grand auction has completely revived the Golden Bamboo Sword Mill and restored the Huang family's vitality.
Now, they are the most popular people in the entire Tianyuan City Square.
Look at them, who are they welcoming?
Who exactly is it that is worth it for them to make such a big scene and personally welcome them? "
"That's right. Especially in this auction, the Huang family took out the Awakening Pill.
The value of this Enlightenment Pill may not be comparable to some of the upper middle grade spirit weapons, but it is the most important thing for any itinerant cultivator or cultivator family.
If not for the Enlightenment Pill, the Huang family would not have declined in the past.
With the help of this Enlightenment Pill, the Huang family is now related to several cultivator families. I heard that even the second prince, Qian Wudi, has shown his intention to recruit them.
After the death of the first prince, the seventh prince is about to participate in the competition for the twelve places. The second prince is the most likely candidate to compete for the throne.
However, I remember that when the second prince came in person, the father and daughter of the Huang family did not close the door to the guests and wait for the arrival of the second prince. "
"I heard that the reason why the Huang family suddenly rose is that they have a great master at the peak.
Could it be that the peak expert is about to descend this time? "
"Who is it? What kind of master has a higher status than the second prince, Qian Wudi? "
"The strongest under the God Realm and invincible in the Enlightenment Realm, the Kunlun Taoist!"
"What? It's him? "
"If it's really him, not to mention the second prince, Qian Wudi, I guess even the emperor will have to treat him with respect.
I didn't expect the Huang family's backer to be such a person.
No wonder they suddenly rose to the sky. "
…
Waves of discussions caused the entire place to be in an uproar.
However, no one wanted to leave.
Even though the road had been blocked to the point where it was difficult to walk, they all stood in place with their heads raised in anticipation, waiting quietly.
They were looking forward to seeing the Kunlun Taoist, the strongest under the God Realm and invincible in the Enlightenment Realm.
In fact, there were even more people rushing over after hearing the news.
Under the Invisibility Skill, Ziyue stepped into the Tianyuan Market silently.
When he was about to reach the Golden Bamboo Sword Workshop, he suddenly froze and frowned slightly.
He did not expect that the father and daughter of the Huang family would make such a big noise when he just used the Messaging Charm to inform them in advance.
After thinking for a while, Ziyue lifted his feet and started walking again.
Then, as he moved, his originally hidden figure was gradually revealed.
The crowd didn't stop him in the slightest.
Under the pressure of a gentle aura, the people in front of him couldn't help but move to the sides to make way.
"The Kunlun Taoist is here!"
Very soon, someone discovered this situation. With a cry of surprise, they all automatically moved aside. They looked at the figure that looked a little old, and even his aura seemed a little gloomy with reverence.
The strongest under the God Realm and invincible in the Enlightenment Realm.
"Senior!"
"Senior, you're here!"
From afar, Huang Qiulong and Huang Qingya bowed slightly and greeted him respectfully.
"This is the last time."
Bai Ziyue glanced at Huang Qiulong indifferently and said in an indifferent voice.
"Yes!"
Huang Qiulong's entire body quivered as he hurriedly replied respectfully.
